Huan Rong

As the night got darker, the bonfire was blazing, the sparks were constantly flying, and the bottomless wine jars were piled up into hills. Most of the people at the banquet were a little drunk, and they were full of pride and wildness.

Chang'an civil and military palm strike festival, first singing Qin Feng Wuyi, and then reciting Zhou Nanlin's toe, praising Qin Emperor's bravery and heroism, conquering the north and driving Hu thieves thousands of miles away.

Not to be outdone, Jiankang Civil and Military Forces was followed by Daya Gong Liu, the ancient tunes, the words and sentences are full of the simplicity of the ancestors, and there is also a kind of lofty ambition to create a foundation.

"Dugong Liu, the bandit lives in the bandit. The field is the frontier, the accumulation is the warehouse; the grain is wrapped, and the sack is in the bag. The light is used for thinking and collection, and the bow and arrow are stretched; the war is raised, and the departure is started."

Xi Chao hits the festival, Xie An starts the tune, and Jia Bing raises his voice.

It is not as powerful and domineering as the civil and military in the north, but it has the abundance and peace and happiness of the south.

"Dugong Liu, in Xusiyuan. It is both common and prosperous, and it is proclaimed when it is smooth, but there is no eternal sigh. Zhi is in Yan, and returned to the original place. Why do you go by boat? Weiyu and Yao, they are full of swords."

The poem praises Liu, the elder of the tribe in the pre-Zhou Dynasty, who was honest and loyal, and did not seek to be healthy and happy. He led the tribe to expand the territory, build cities, plant fishing and hunting, and make the tribe live and work in peace.

The poem not only praises the simplicity and hard work of the ancestors, but also praises the benevolence and sincerity of Gong Liu and his way of being a king.

"Dugong Liu, Yu Binsi Pavilion. The chaos caused by the Weiwei, the strength and the forging, stop the foundation. It is reasonable to stop the foundation. If there is a lot of love, it will be surrounded by the emperor's stream. Going back to the stream. Stopping travel is a secret, and it is right for Rui."

Compared with Qin Feng and Zhou Nan, this poem is very long, the tune is not high-pitched, and it is very plain to sing, and it does not give people the feeling of going to the battlefield, passionate and passionate.

However, compared with Wuyi's indomitable ambition and bravery, Gongliu's inherent solidity, national peace, and peacefulness and long-term thinking are more precious and desirable in troubled times.

Ancient tunes, ancient poems, long and simple, intertwined and fluttering with the night wind.

In the ears of everyone, there is an indescribable touch.

What Wuyi shows to everyone is the fierceness of the battlefield, the friendship of the robes and the common enemy; what the public and Liu Chuan praises is the scene of creating a foundation, the monarch is loyal and the minister is sincere, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Even though there are still killings among the tribes, even if there are still wars between the city-states, under the rule of Gong Liu, the country is still peaceful, the people are safe, and life is prosperous.The people can have enough food and clothing without being invaded by foreigners, let alone suffering from displacement.

The choice of this poem was not a coincidence.

In addition to being a song in response to Qin Feng, it is also showing Jiankang's strength to Chang'an.

Although Emperor Qin was wise and powerful, Emperor Huan Han could make the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Although the Qin State has a strong army and horses, can conquer and fight well, and is invincible, Huan Han also has the courage to be the best in the three armies, and the army can still defend the territory and destroy the strong.

Bravery is precious, but people are the foundation of the country and food is the foundation of the people. Huan Han gathered refugees, reclaimed wasteland, developed commerce and trade, and vigorously resumed production. Most of the people in the territory could live in peace.

The strength of both sides is between equals.

In the future, even if there are elite troops and bears on the road, there is not enough food and grass supply, and the soldiers are burned to the bones, how can there be any chance of winning?

There are all smart people present, and after a little thought, you can understand the intention behind this poem.

Chang'an Wenwu's expression remained unchanged, he slapped his palms and followed the music, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

Unconvinced, I want to open my mouth to refute, but the facts are in front of me, and there is really nothing to refute.

The northern land has been plagued by disasters year after year, with severe drought and locust plagues. It was a land with a high yield in Han Dynasty, but now it has no harvest at two years old.

It is true that Chang'an has no food, and the development speed of commerce and trade is not as fast as that of Jiankang.When the Xiahou clan rebelled, the finances became even worse.If not, he would not take the initiative to deliver the letter of credence, please ask Emperor Huanhan to send a large amount of food to Jiankang for a while.

In the middle of the song, Chang'an's civil and military faces were sad, Qin Jing slightly lowered his eyes, and raised his glass to respect Huan Rong.

Huan Rong turned red in the face.

The reason is that it was Jiangzuo Merry Prime Minister Xie An who took the lead when he was praised so much in person, and Xie An, who was regarded as the benchmark of Wei and Jin Merry, didn't blush.

Although he got used to boasting, but on such an occasion, and this song again, Huan Rong really couldn't bear it.

The wine glass was handed to him, he took it without saying a word, and brought it to his lips to drink it up. He inadvertently licked the corner of his mouth, and when he noticed Qin Jing's meaningful eyes, Huan Rong turned his head, and the heat in his ears suddenly increased.

This time, it was not due to "praise".

At the end of the song Gongliu, everyone in Jiankang was in full swing. The mood of the people in Chang'an is not the former that needs to be considered.

The bonfire is burned out, and the banquet has come to an end.

Huan Rong stood up and said goodbye, and Jiankang Wenwu returned home happily.

Qin Jing led the crowd to the front of the camp, and watched Huan Rong climb up the gate and disappear into the night.

The team moved forward slowly, the wheels creaked as they rolled over the dirt road.

Along the way, some government troops lit torches, stretching into a fire dragon, leading directly to the gate of Xiangyang.

The cold moon hangs high, and the sky is full of stars.

Huan Rong was sitting in the big chair, when the night wind blew by, he suddenly became clever, and the only bit of alcohol dissipated in an instant, and there was nothing left.

Xie An, Xi Chao and others felt at ease, seeing that the moonlight was just right, they simply pushed open the car door and knocked on the car plate casually, one after another, very melodic.

The sound of percussion continued to superimpose, and the singing of "Da Ya Gong Liu" sounded again.

The singing came into his ears, Huan Rong was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked behind him.

Under the moonlight, the carriages meet front and back, the doors and windows are all open, and all the people in the carriages have wide sleeves and high crowns, singing uninhibitedly.

The voices are high or low, or deep and hoarse, or a little bit clear, and some are more alcoholic, all intertwined and not very neat.

However, it is this willfulness and unrestrained unrestrainedness that is even more touching.

For a moment, Huan Rong couldn't move, he could only stare fixedly at Xie An's carriage.Facing the wise eyes of the elder above, a wave of emotion suddenly surged up like a tide, sweeping the whole body in an instant.

The whole person was overwhelmed by emotions, and his body was faster than his reason. Huan Rong stood on the big chair and said solemnly: "I will live up to your wishes!"

"it is good!"

Xie An clapped his palms and laughed loudly, and everyone laughed out loud.

Amidst the laughter, the beats became quicker and the singing became louder.

Huan Rong's ears started to turn red again, but judging from everyone's performance, he knew that they were all "in the mood", and they would never give up until they had a good time singing.

Looking at the sky for a long time, I couldn't help laughing and shaking my head.

Since you can't stop, just join in.

Huan Rong sat relaxed on the big seat, knocked on the railing with one hand, and sang loudly with the crowd.

Fortunately, the song was changed. If it was still Gong Liu, he would not be able to sing it even if he was killed.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties were romantic and the scholars were chic.

This situation has long been deeply engraved in history, and it cannot be reproduced by later generations, and it is impossible to reproduce it.I can only reminisce in my recollection, what a suffering, but what a wonderful era it was.

When Yu Jia returned to Xiangyang City, knowing that the Son of Heaven was safe, the defenders and people in the city were all relieved.

After the team entered the city, the gates were immediately closed.

The suspension bridge was raised, and the city head was heavily guarded. At dawn, the torches were still on.

Huan Rong returned to the station, washed up briefly, and changed into his uniform.Seeing that the palace maid retreated, A Mi was still holding the jade belt, she couldn't help feeling strange.

"What?" Huan Rong raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, this jade did not come from Taicheng, and the embroidery pattern was not the handiwork of Jiankang craftsmen. You are..." A Mi held the jade belt in her hand, looked at Huan Rong, and hesitated to speak.

Huan Rong frowned slightly, took a closer look at the jade belt, and was sure that what A Mi said was not necessary, and that it was not his own at all, a thought flashed through his mind, and his head buzzed suddenly.

Impatient is really easy to make mistakes!

He and Qin Jing are both crowned officials, and the robes cannot be mistaken, but the jade belts are too similar, and it is inevitable to be careless in a hurry.I should really be thankful that the sky was dark and neither civil nor military personnel were paying attention.If not, the fun will be great.

Once the emperor left the banquet, the belt was changed?

No matter how deep the friendship is, it can't be like this!

But it was discovered by Ah Mi, and there was no way to explain it.

Holding the jade belt, Huan Rong's expression changed again and again, the words came to his lips, but he didn't know what to say.

Ah Mi saw his embarrassment, and exchanged glances with the eunuch, who retreated outside with a salute, and closed the door by the way.Ah Mi said: "Your Majesty, can this thing belong to the Emperor of Qin?"

So far, what else can Huan Rong say?Only nodded.

Switch to someone else, think of a way, and barely pass the test.A Mi has been with her for many years and knows her very well, so she can't hide things at all.

"Sure enough." Ah Mi sighed.

"What?" Huan Rong blinked, puzzled flashing across his face.

"Your Majesty needs to be more careful in the future." A Mi said softly, "Although the Queen Mother knows about it, the matter will not be revealed to the world."

It's fine if it's an ordinary nobleman, but it happens to be the emperor of Qin.If there is even a little bit of wind, things will be difficult to clean up.

"Ah Mi, you know?" Huan Rong swallowed, and asked tentatively.

"I know." A Mi was very frank, without any intention of hiding anything.

"When?"

"from……"

"Needless to say!" Huan Rong raised his hand suddenly, stopping Ah Mi's words.It is meaningless to ask questions now, but it will make yourself upset.

"Who else knows?"

"There is no one else except slaves." A Mi said seriously, "His Royal Highness has already made arrangements. With slaves and peace oysters, Your Majesty can rest assured."

Ping Hao is the eunuch sent by Princess Nankang to Huan Rong. He is responsible for protecting Huan Rong's safety and has always been loyal.

After listening to Ah Mi's explanation, Huan Rong nodded and suddenly felt relieved.As for what arrangements Princess Nankang made, he had no intention of asking.

My mother won't hurt herself, that's enough.

"Go down."

Ah Mi agreed, saluted and raised the inner room.

Dagonfu and Mianguan were held down together, but the jade belt in Huan Rong's hand was ignored, without mentioning a word from the beginning to the end.

When the door was closed, Huan Rong fell on the couch, suddenly turned over and sat up again, found a wooden box, folded the jade belt and put it away, and then lay down on the couch again.

During the action, he touched his forehead habitually, a faint light flashed, and the jade belt in the box became two.

After a long silence, Huan Rong smiled and shook his head.

When encountering "important" things, I can't help but "back up". It was like this in the bamboo slips back then, and the golden seal of the emperor, and it's like this now.

"never mind."

One more is one more.

After returning to Jiankang, immediately hide it in a private treasury, and no one will know it at all.

Change it back?

Huan Rong didn't even think about it.

It was a moment of panic before, and I couldn't figure it out right away.When he calmed down, it was not difficult to guess that his observation ability was not strong enough, and he didn't notice that he was wearing the wrong belt. How could Qin Jing be negligent?

Most Likely Explanation: On purpose.

Deliberately took the wrong jade belt, deliberately let Huan Rong have no chance to find out, deliberately...

Huan Rong lowered his eyes, his fingers slid across the texture of the wooden box, and a smile flashed across his eyes.He couldn't deny that he liked the surprise.Compared with Luanfengchai, he is more happy to receive such "hearts".

Silent all night.

The next day, Jiankang Wenwu got up his spirits and went to the high platform outside the city to discuss state affairs with everyone in Chang'an.

Huan Rong yawned, trying his best to be as serious as possible, and sat on the head as a mascot.

Sitting beside him, Qin Jing's gaze slid across Huan Rong's waist intentionally or unintentionally, making the latter more certain that the "accident" last night was really not an accident.

In the next few days, the civil and military of the two countries successively finalized a number of agreements, which were recorded on bamboo slips and presented to the emperor for review.

Huan Rong and Qin Jing no longer had the opportunity to be alone, and their minds were all concentrated on the content of the discussion, putting aside personal friendship, fighting for each other's interests, without giving an inch.

"Food prices can be reduced by half, and I want [-]% for the prisoners captured by Qin Bing."

After discussing with Xie An and others, Huan Rong proposed this proposal.

The news of the battle in the north kept coming back, Gaoche and Wusun assembled a large army, and the offensive never stopped.Some scouts discovered that among the incoming enemies were the shadows of Diren and Murong Xianbei, most likely remnants of soldiers who had fled to Mobei.

Qin Jue and Qin Jue led the army to fight. Qin Jue and Qin Jue defended the border towns, not allowing the bandits to break through the defense line, but they could not prevent the rangers from finding a breakthrough and burning, killing and looting the border villages.

During the battle, Wubao in Guangning County was attacked. The defenders and border residents fought desperately, and finally repelled the enemy, leaving more than a hundred dead bodies.But our own side also suffered heavy losses, and no reinforcements arrived in time, and the battle situation was once in crisis.

In order to ensure that the border is not lost, it is impossible for Qin Jing to stay in Xiangyang for a long time.

Huan Rong also didn't want to see the bandits break through the border counties of Qin State and set foot in the Central Plains again.

The two sides intend to speed up, end the negotiations early, and choose to make concessions to each other.

Jiankang let go of his mouth and took the initiative to give up part of the benefits. Chang'an reciprocated courtesy and was willing to "trade" with prisoners of war.

Both parties know that the population is important, but in order to reach an agreement as soon as possible, it is not good to have more haggling. Within the range acceptable to each other, they each make concessions and finally achieve a "win-win".

Things are settled, everything is settled, it is almost the beginning of October.

The border war reports kept coming, Qin Jing decided not to return to Chang'an, and directly dispatched troops to fly to Shuofang.

Half of the civil and military personnel in Chang'an went out with them, and half returned to the capital to stabilize the situation between North Korea and China.

The first batch of grain and grass has been sent to Xiangyang. After counting, Huan Rong generously sent over a hundred grain carts for the Qin family to transport grain.

On the day of Qin Jing's departure, Huan Rong prepared fine wine and went out of the city to see her off.

"I wish Xuanmin the victory in flying the flag and return to Chang'an triumphantly!"

Qin Jing took the Bronze Jue, and covered the back of Huan Rong's hand with his palm, the heat almost burned him within a moment of contact.

After the third noble, Qin Jing flew on the horse.

Dagon took the crown and replaced it with armor.

Black armor, black horses, and a silver gun gleamed.Accompanied by the sound of the desolate horn, the warhorse stood up, and the goshawk circled in mid-air, and the resounding cry of the eagle resounded through the sky.

"go!"

As the horses passed by, the army gave way to a straight path, like dividing the sea.

Standing on the high platform, Huan Rong watched the flag go away, his long black sleeves were blown up by the wind, and in an instant, he seemed to be one with the heaven and the earth.
