Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

Playing in front of more than 1000 people is not an easy task.

Nasi's side is like a small western region orchestra, with all kinds of novel musical instruments appearing.

The harp, the drum that is slapped by hand, and the long-barrel instrument that slaps the hole like a bamboo to make a 'hum' sound.

Nasi looked at Shen Luo with ease, and the latter nodded.

The bands from the Western Regions played together without any scruples about sinking.

Shen Luo took the yueqin from a musician, and sat on the round chair, the sound of the qin came out in a flowing manner, seamlessly connected without any flaws.

This kind of unrestrained performance is like the coast where the wind and rain meet.

The earth and the sea are intimately connected, and beyond the stormy waves of the azure blue ocean, there is a piece of picturesque sandy beaches and mountains.

Although the origins are different, they are well connected without any sense of abruptness.

Such an ensemble was like the sound of nature, shocking everyone.

Shen Luo, who was sitting and playing, finally had the experience of playing at a palace banquet, but this experience was broader.

When a song was played, it aroused applause and applause from the officials.

Baili relaxed with an expression that I am also honored, and the applause was especially loud.

After playing, Emperor Qianyuan selected a piece he liked and asked Shen Luo to play it solo.

Shen Luo agreed and finished playing the song, causing Emperor Qianyuan to chuckle.

After the palace banquet was over, Shen Luo got a Yueqin treasured in the palace as a reward.

"This piano is called Xinfeng, and it is a famous treasure in the palace. It was also played by King Luo in the palace." Citing Wenhao said on the way out of the palace.

Xiao Shitou got a white peace jade biscuit. People in this era respect white jade.

That jade tablet is pure white and moist, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance.

Back in Shen's house, Xiao Yu smiled and opened the door for them.

The family closes the door.

"Just lock the door at night. Don't live in the concierge, you and my brother, so as not to be too cold, go to sleep in your own bedroom in the front yard." Shen Luo ordered.

The family was not full from the palace banquet at night, so Shen Luo went to the kitchen to find the stewed beef prepared by the cook, as well as cooked chicken and roast goose, and cooked a large pot of soup with water with rice and vegetables. Xiaoyu helped at the side, and Qingchen helped chop vegetables.

I left a big bowl for Xiao Yu and added a plate of dishes.

Shen Luo helped carry the tray of food to the back.

Nie Xingfeng roasted on the fire, drank tea, ate peanuts and melon seeds, and looked at the white jade tablet presented to him by Xiao Shishi.

"Come and eat!" Shen Luo filled a small table with food.

"I'm starving to death." Xiaoshi picked up a roasted goose leg and gnawed it.

"I haven't had enough to go to the palace banquet, you worthless!" Nie Xingfeng served them rice.

Little Shitou's mouth was full: "You don't know, the food is not tasty, life in the palace is really pitiful."

"You are so beautiful." Nie Xingfeng said with a smile, picked up a cooked chicken, poured a glass of wine and had a drink with Shen Luo: "This white jade card is worth at least 500 taels."

Shen Luo also clicked his tongue: "The emperor is really generous."

"I think he wants to buy Mr. Wu, that's all." Xiaoshi picked up the stewed beef and ate it with his rice.

Three of the four were starving, and the other was a hero with an amazing appetite. The four easily swept up the food on the table.

The court began to go to court on the fifth day of the first lunar month. In addition to walking around and visiting, the third day of the first lunar month was the day when the emperor and his brothers held a family banquet.

"It's another good year, and I'm getting older for another year." Emperor Qianyuan said while sitting on the golden chair where the phoenix was bathed in fire.

"Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and our dynasty is also unprecedented, with a glorious prosperity. You have already been among the famous emperors for thousands of years, and you are one of the greatest emperors." King De said.

Emperor Qianyuan smiled lightly: "Fourth brother, I used to care about these fame just like you, but now I look back and see that I am already in the year of my destiny. , even if the world is prosperous and brilliant, it is not due to my achievements, but because of my responsibility."

"Brother Huang, don't be too emotional. When the father left, the situation was unstable, and there were many problems in the world. Since the emperor took the throne for 20 years, the politics have been clear and the world has been peaceful. This is your achievement, and no one can obliterate it." No way." Citing Wenhao persuaded.

Emperor Qianyuan shook his head: "I'm old because my heart is old. When my father was there, I felt very at ease. He didn't go until he was in his 70s and almost 20. To be honest, I really don't want to part with him. Ten or twenty years."

"Facing the attack of the Tuna people in the hands of the father, in order to raise military expenses, he ordered two meals a day, and did not wear new clothes for ten years. Our Dafeng has today's prosperity, and it is also because of his hard work and thrift." Yue Wang said.

"Well, I'm very happy that you can treat my father like this. He is the emperor of all ages. Even when he left, he left me five years of surplus money. This is all saved by his old man!" Emperor Qianyuan Si Yi recalled: "I think back then, in order to make arrangements for his [-]th birthday, I spent a lot of extravagance, and he scolded me severely. To be honest, I really don't understand, isn't this world our family? I'm for him Isn't extravagance imagining the world to show the might of the country?"

"I still remember this incident. I was only a teenager at the time!" Ci Wenhao said.

Emperor Qianyuan nodded: "Father took out a booklet, on which was an account book written by him, how much the front-line military supplies are, how much it costs to fight a battle, and how many battles I spent on this birthday banquet. There is silence in my heart! It turns out that the needs of being an emperor are so far-sighted, and you can't make calculations for the younger generations. What you lose is not only the country, but also the honor of the whole family, and all of the royal family."

"That's why Brother Huang has always been strict with others and disciplined himself to set an example for us." King De said.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at them: "You have to have the world in your heart to control the world. It's like thirty nights, why did I ask that young man from heaven and earth, because I want to see if this sinking person is a clumsy person or a broad-minded person. This little stone is very good. He can have such insights at a young age. I like Shen Luo's personality more. He doesn't covet vanity, and he doesn't even ask for credit. It's not easy for him to be as humble as a younger generation!"

"This person has a calmer personality, but he is a sincere gentleman." Ci Wenhao chimed in.

Emperor Qianyuan pointed at him: "Second brother, you are the same. You treat the court with sincerity. When you talk about him, you are actually showing your extraordinaryness."

"Brother Huang is absurd." Ci Wenhao lowered his head and laughed.

"Speaking of which, the elegance of his piano sound is already astounding. To be honest, it would be really good if he could go to the Ministry of Rites and teach the world with rhythm, silk and bamboo." King Yue interjected with a smile.

Citing Wenhao glanced at him: "Did the third brother speak from the heart?"

King Yue was stunned: "It's just a joke."

Emperor Qianyuan looked at him: "I also hope it's a joke. Do you know why I want you to invigilate the exam this time? This is an opportunity to go out and have a look, and go out to find talents. Not only did you do what a prince would do, but also It is a kind of experience to use your eyes to convince the officials and let the people see your demeanor."

"Brother Huang took great pains." The three kings said together.

Emperor Qianyuan smiled softly: "Do you know why I insisted on my opinion and didn't get the top three rankings in the imperial examination?"

The King of Yue was curious: "Isn't it because of the agreement?"

"Agreed?" Emperor Qianyuan smiled: "Do you think I don't know that people in the world say that I am confused and crony?"

The smile of the three kings stopped abruptly.

"Do you still remember what was the first major event I did when I ascended the throne?" Emperor Qianyuan asked suddenly.

"You copied the house of Nan Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, and found out a big moth. This was a sensation in the world back then, and it was also the beginning of the renewal of Vientiane." King De said.

"Well, but do you know how Nan Yu's criminal evidence came about?" Emperor Qianyuan said.

The three kings looked at him in surprise.

"It's from the father, the father gave it." The words of Emperor Qianyuan made the three of them dumbfounded.

"Father told me that killing him is a credit to me, and also a chance to show my prestige. This is the greatness of an emperor. He may not show his mountains and dews, but it does not mean that he has no insight into everything." Emperor Qianyuan The words caused the three kings to fall into thinking.

"Whether it's cronyism, meritocracy, or what others say, it's not important to me anymore. What matters is you?" Emperor Qianyuan pointed to his three younger brothers: "What do you think, what do you think? To be honest, Yunmo, the number one scholar, will be qualified, while Baili Songran's Tanhualang is a bit of a loser. As for the second place, in the past ten years, without exception, they have all been from Qingyang County. What is this? Isn't it Shen Is it the 'balance of heaven' mentioned in the article?"

"Your brother is guilty, please replace Shen Luo's ranking!" King Yue got up and said.

"That's not the point!" Emperor Qianyuan shook his head: "You didn't understand, Guowei asked me to choose Shen Luo as the champion, but I just said that I want to give you a little chance, a little chance to change."

"But the emperor doesn't need to leave a bad reputation." Ci Wenhao said.

"Forget it, it can only be said that he was unlucky. He didn't come to take the exam early or late, but he bumped into the son of Liangxiang. Who can blame this?" Emperor Qianyuan said with a smile.

Ci Wenhao didn't say much, but kept silent.

Emperor Qianyuan glanced at him lightly and withdrew his gaze: "By the way, there is one more thing. When Lin Haihuan came to the east, the pace of reform was very close to that of Shen Luo, or the reform started after the end of the provincial examination. Years ago, I received a complaint from the surrounding counties and counties, saying that his reform made the surrounding people follow suit, and even boycott their own local government, what do you think of this complaint?"

The King of Yue looked at Emperor Qianyuan: "Your Majesty, is this reform appropriate, or is it necessary to imitate the whole country, can you issue an order, what will scholars and merchants think?"

"Are you all talking about this matter?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

"Just now the emperor said that the late emperor had good intentions? I don't know if I should say a word or not!" King De said.

"But it doesn't matter." Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand.

"Your Majesty has already created a prosperous world, so why reverse the foundation of scholars and merchants? Is there still a decisive battle between us and the Tuna Dynasty? Not necessarily, the land bordering our country is just one Tuna at the top, and the six kingdoms at the bottom, but It is a tiny place, and there is no threat to our country. Although the overseas Huonu Kingdom and Chongyu Kingdom are threats, our naval forces are strong, and the two countries are still feuds. It can be said that we have no threat except Tutu. " De Wang said.

The King of Yue also nodded: "Although the Tuna Dynasty is powerful, they border more than a dozen countries, and they are all warlike countries. The Tuna people are not as peaceful as us!"

Citing Hao thought for a while and didn't speak.

"Second brother, don't be silent, you are the head of the prince, you should set an example." Emperor Qianyuan said.

"My brother was thinking about Linhai County just now, and I was also thinking about the words of the two virtuous brothers." Citing Wenhao said.

"How do you say it?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

"A wide river separates us from the land bordering on the northeast section of Tuna. Our side is on the east side. The land is fertile and it is the largest granary besides the south of the Yangtze River. Huan Donglai's reform here is naturally a drag And move the whole region. On the other hand, on the other side of the land, there is a river to the north. The lake is a saltwater lake, and the mountain is Huoshenshan. Except for the 300 million border residents, there is not even a city. This is the same life as the same person!"

"Second brother is right. If Tuna didn't have the Wangu Plain and Chonghe Plain to the west, they would not be able to feed their 4000 million people." King Yue answered.

"You guys are underestimating Tuna by saying that." Emperor Qianyuan said, "Do you know why I haven't touched Qingyang for so many years?"

"That's the brotherhood of the emperor's scruples." De Wang said.

"Hmph!" Emperor Qianyuan smiled: "That's Yunhao's scruples about brotherhood!"

"Brother Huang, don't the ministers understand very well?" King Yue said.

"He had the opportunity to set aside land to be king, and even to establish his own country, but he didn't do so." Emperor Qianyuan said.

"Tuna people will agree?" Ci Wenhao asked back.

"It was Tuna who supported him. The Tuna people who were beaten by him did not hesitate to use all means to win him over to proclaim themselves emperor. They were even willing to cede land and provide all support including the army. It was Yunhao who did not agree, and we have it." The so-called 'northern frontier'." Emperor Qianyuan said: "So I am thinking today, is his disappearance accidental or inevitable?"

Emperor Qianyuan's words made the three princes very surprised, and they all looked at him.

What the three kings imagined in their hearts was the idea of ​​'the emperor killed the fourth brother'.

But Emperor Qianyuan looked at them with that kind of scrutiny.

A 'Brothers and Brothers' drama ends in this topic.

After the three kings retreated, Emperor Qianyuan looked behind him, and Guowei walked out.

"What do you think of what happened just now?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

"I can't tell." Guowei said.

Emperor Qianyuan sighed: "To be honest, the reaction of the third and fourth brothers today is reasonable, but the second brother disappointed me."

"Why?" Guowei asked.

"Although no matter how you talk about it, I will not replace the sons of the two prime ministers. After all, they have been with me for so many years, and what I said just now that 'it is bad luck when you sink' is not a lie."

"Then the emperor is against Prince Qi?"

"If he insisted on promoting talents and recommending Shen Luo just now, even if he failed, it would be enough to show the person's mind, but just now, in order not to offend others, he still held back, which disappointed me."

Guowei looked at him: "But your majesty, isn't this better, it is enough to explain a problem."

"Well!" Emperor Qianyuan said rightly: "This sinking can be expected!"
