Long Song Wanli Dingshan River

At this moment, the Zhongshu servant shot at the mansion, and the Zhongshu servant shot Song Yu to look around and close the window.He turned back to the table, and sitting beside the table was Liu Shiqing, an official of the Prime Minister of Chu State, Minister of State.

Liu Shiqing accompanied Mei and Prime Minister Cha every day, and the news that Prime Minister Mei passed away came from elsewhere.

"I can hear that there is already a commotion." Song Yu said: "But under this feast, the princes of all countries are here. It is better to keep the matter of Prime Minister Mei's funeral secret. At this time, I told the students, If any of the princes of the countries who come to the court have evil intentions, wouldn't they take this opportunity to weaken me and Da Chu?"

Liu Shiqing lifted the tea cover, and tasted the fragrance of the tea first: "It is sweet in the middle of the tea, and has a long aftertaste. This should be... the first batch of new Longjing tea that just fell from the tree this year."

Song Yu nodded again and again: "Lord Liu has a good nose. Wu Guo's envoy Jiang Huairen came to Chu a few days ago and brought a few catties of new tea. I don't know if it suits your taste. I have never dared to offer it rashly. I see you like it today. Tomorrow Then send it to the house."

"It's hard for you to bother." Liu Shiqing took a sip of tea and put down the cup, "Master Song, what do you think the kingdoms came to court for?"

"Tai Shigong never pointed out, 'The world is prosperous, it is all for profit; the world is crowded, it is all for profit.' All countries come to court, and it is you who are courting. What is it like? Reciprocity and benefits. If you are weak, hehe, then no wonder other countries bully you.” [1]

"Please forgive me for being stupid." Song Yu said, "Since this is the case, now that Chu State is in chaos, wouldn't this mean that it will be inferior to other countries, and it may attract a strong attack."

"What's the rush?" Liu Shiqing said in a fluttering voice, "The sky is falling, and Lord Sikong with the big Sima sword will hold it up. It's none of your business. Besides, the students are making noise, it's just child's play, no one takes it seriously. "

The Zhongshu servant asked Song Yu to take out a handkerchief, wiping his sweat for no reason.

At this time, the servant came to report from outside: "Master Sikong's family is here to see you." Song Yu heard this, looked at Liu Shiqing's face first, and saw his approval before pushing the door and leaving.

There was a thin official standing in the courtyard, and when he saw Song Yu, he saluted first: "Master Song, I am the servant of Lord Sikong's mansion, Youqing. Lord Sikong is concerned about Lord Song's body, so he asked me to bring some gifts, and come to say hello. .”

A servant behind him delivered a tray.

Two square wooden boxes were placed on the tray, one on the left and the other on the right. Song Yugang wanted the servant to take it, but You Qing interrupted: "Master Sikong, I want Master Song to look at the gifts first, and then choose one to take away."

This is so weird, there is no way to give gifts and let them pick them on the spot.Song Yuyan was full of doubts, and lifted the wooden box on the left. Inside was a bronze bottle, filled with turbid water.

Youqing said: "This is the water from the source of the great river. Master Sikong specially asked someone to bring it back from the source of the great river as a song, and share it with you."

What is the purpose of donating river water to others? Besides, it has been stored for so long, and the water is obviously not drinkable.

Song Yu opened another wooden box, which contained a small plate with a persimmon in the middle.

Youqing said: "This is a persimmon."

Song Yu couldn't figure out what was the key to the two wooden boxes, so he just randomly picked up persimmons as gifts left behind.

You Qing said: "Since your lord has chosen persimmons, then you can't see Sir Sikong's note. I will withdraw first."

Song Yu heard it strangely: "It means, if I choose that river, there is still a note to see?"

You Qing nodded.

Song Yu: "Can I re-elect?"

Youqing smiled and said: "If you choose to leave, how can you regret it if you say something about it?"

Song Yu had no choice but to give up, and hastily exchanged a few polite words with Youqing.Xiaoqing left in a hurry, and only said that there were still many adults who still wanted to visit.

Song Yu returned to the table with the dried persimmons, and muttered, "What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, Mr. Sikong, and what kind of dried persimmons are you giving at night?"

Shangshu made Liu Shiqing's expression change: "What persimmons?"

He told Shang Shuling Liu Shiqing about the time when Youqing gave the gift in the middle of the night. Liu Shiqing immediately slapped the table and shouted: "It's absurd, it's absurd!"

Song Yu was puzzled: "Please enlighten Master Liu."

Liu Shiqing didn't care about whether his work was clean, so he dipped his finger in the tea and drew three parallel streams of water on the table: "The water from the source of the great river, the river is the river, the head is the page, and the pages of the river are combined to form a Chinese character. If the river is smooth, there will be that note, if it is not smooth, then—"

The eyes of the two fell on the persimmon.

If you obey, you will live, if you don't obey, you will die.

A candle flickered in the room, and it suddenly became much darker.

Liu Shiqing said grimly, "Lord Sikong, you have such a cruel temper."

"How could this Bai Sikong be like this? He threatened the officials of the same dynasty with riddles in the middle of the night. If he couldn't understand this and picked persimmons randomly, would he be regarded as a political enemy! He has already entered The King of Chu also gave him five rides, and the Da Sima Sword, so what else would he do? Could it be possible that he could ascend to the sky!"

"Maybe, he is going to ascend to the sky. At that time, Lord Song..."

Song Yu held the persimmons and sat down on the chair.

Liu Shiqing gave a short laugh: "In matters of power, it's always life and death. This time it's just a matter of time."

"Master Liu, Master Liu." Song Yu immediately stood up and said anxiously, "What about you? Help me, Master Liu!"

"Save you. Hmph, I'm also saving myself." He lowered his voice: "When the young master returns home, can you? Incite him a bit more, such as gangsters running rampant, government-run gambling houses, and cheating on Changdi. ? Place it on Lord Sikong's head."

Liu Shiqing said slowly: "If you don't take advantage of this feast to cut its wings, you and I will be mud bodhisattvas crossing the river."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream from outside the door, and the door was kicked open with a bang sound. General Wei Cheng Zheng raised his arm and threw away the servant who was blocking him, and then he slashed open a door ? Chuang, cursed: "Song Zhongshu! Hand over your son Song Yang!"

"General Cheng." Liu Shiqing came up to meet him, "What is it that provoked the general?"

Liu Shiqing was born in a family, held an important position in the Minister's Order, and also served as a wine sacrifice in the palace. Cheng Zheng usually gave him three points because of his family background and Mei Xiang's face.

Cheng Zheng saluted: "The original Liu Shangshu is also here."

Liu Shiqing personally brewed a new bowl of tea with him, and Cheng Zheng explained the whole story clearly.

In the Yigong Academy, his eldest son Cheng She made friends with the eldest son Song Yang of Zhongshu Pushe. Song Yang suddenly called Cheng She out in the middle of the night, and he didn't know why. The family was crying and making trouble, which made Cheng Zheng very upset, so he came to kill him with a knife and demanded his son.

Song Yu thought, Cheng's mansion and Zhongshu Pushe's mansion are both near Qingling Terrace, and there is peace and prosperity along the way here, and Cheng Zhengding is completely unaware of the disputes several miles away.It's a good thing not to know, lest Cheng Zheng order to maintain order in the capital, and things won't cause trouble. It would be ridiculous if his youngest son Song Yu was taken to prison in order to maintain order.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Zhongshu Pushe hurriedly said, "The dog has not returned. I think there is a feast in the city, and the children are playing together, maybe they have forgotten the time."

Zhong Shupu shot Song Yu to appease Cheng Zheng, which made General Wei calm down.At this time, the servants of the family knelt down at the door, crying and howling: "Patriarch, it's not good, it's not good!"

The servant lost his composure, and Song Yuda felt his face was dull, so he just scolded: "Crying and crying, what are you shouting about! Speak well!"

"Young master, young master, he was hacked to death! There is also the young master of General Wei's family at the scene, it seems that someone beat him!"

"What!" Cheng Zheng jumped up, while Song Yu stood up slowly, and asked again: "Young master, what's wrong?"

The servant could only cry but couldn't utter a word. Song Yu rolled her eyes and almost fell to the ground.

After a lot of consolation, the book boy explained clearly what he had seen and heard. Before Cheng Zheng finished listening, he was about to kill him and take to the street.

"General Wei!" Shang Shuling Liu Shiqing suddenly pulled Cheng Zheng back, "You go now, the young master has endured the grievances, and he can only vent his anger for a while. Master Sikong dared to ride on your head when he got the Great Sima Sword bullying, if there is a future..."

Zhongshu Pushe Song Yu was still beating his chest and weeping for his child's death, but Cheng Zheng's face became more and more gloomy.

"In my opinion, it's better? When the time comes to hide the weapon, it will attack at the same time, and give that Master Sikong a knife."

Cheng Zheng frowned: "What's the matter?"

Liu Shiqing said: "He can do this? He is only relying on the protection of Mei Xiang. The King of Chu is holding it. Now Mei Xiang is gone. If he holds him, the sky will leak a little more..."

end of the street.

The students spoke righteously, throwing their heads and blood for the state of Chu. In fact, they are all used to obey at home, and the doctors in the palace dote on the wine. Who has seen a murderous battle, let alone kicked it? I often sing this kind of hard iron.

After Chang Ge slashed Song Yang in the street, a few of Bai Nen's students fainted on the spot, and a few of the little servants and book boys hurriedly lifted and pinched him, but they didn't recover.

The students who made trouble lost their heads, and their passion was extinguished by Chang Ge, and they suddenly became a group of fledgling chicks, snuggling together and shivering.

"Young Master Gan, hurry up and go home with this slave!"

One of them broke through the crowd and caught a student. Seeing the soldiers of Chu State blocking him, he hurriedly signed a letter of promise, promising that his son would not leave the gate during the feast.

Many Chu court officials received the "Shun" or "persimmon" wooden boxes sent by Zhu Zheng, winked, and the officials who chose "Shun" wrote a letter of promise according to the note, and rushed to the street to pick up their children. go back.

Chang Ge didn't know the reason. He thought it was the conscience of these officials. He thought that Zhu Zheng still needed to get along with these officials.

And the rest of the rioting students, who were not brought back, were taken to the prison of Chu Kingdom.

After being imprisoned in the sky prison, Chang Ge even flashed the Da Sima sword, and directly ordered the students locked in the sky prison not to be released until the feast is over. If any official has any objections, he will come directly to the former residence of Guixin for comment.

The body of the young son of the Song family was rolled up on a straw mat and sent back to Zhongshu Pushe's mansion.

After this treatment was over, it was already dawn, and Chang Ge had just left the prison when he saw Zhu Zheng wearing only a black cloak and standing in the moonlight to meet him.

At this time, both of them were very tired, they had just returned to Xin's old residence, and happened to bump into the drunken spirit and left the old residence hastily.

Chang Ge also wanted to invite Zui Ling to stay as a guest for a few days, but Zui Ling even said that the Duke of Yizhou called him urgently and had to go back.

It rained heavily at night, knocking the leaves rustling.

The next morning the sun rose, but it was barely a good day.

Today, the king of Chu got married, and as a happy official, Zhu Zhengde changed into a solemn dress with sweeping swings and a crown of ceremonies on his head, which was even more grand than the dress on the first day of the feast.

In the past two days, Zhu Zheng's clothes were cumbersome and had to be properly dressed by others. Instead, Chang Ge found some fun in dressing up Zhu Zheng, helping him put on his clothes layer by layer, wrapping around his waist to hook him up Put on the big belt, and then use your fingers to straighten it? Every ribbon is done, and every step is quite interesting.

The most important thing is that the two of them can temporarily forget yesterday's worries, and life seems to become simpler, so simple that they only need to adjust all the skirts and straighten all the belts.

Wearing layered black costumes, Zhu Zheng's complexion looks radiant, with a dignified and dignified beauty of his own.

Today's occasion is solemn, Zhu Zheng needs to wear a black jade leather belt, Chang Ge firstly compared his position, then wrapped his arms around his waist, and put the leather belt behind him, there is almost no gap between the two of them, Chang Ge Ge can still faintly smell the aloes from Zhu Zheng's clothes.

"Today is the second most beautiful time, sir." Chang Ge lifted the leather belt with one finger, dropped a good mountain of black jade on it, and helped him straighten out the ribbon.

Hearing this, Zhu Zheng couldn't help but smile: "When is the first time to look good?"

Chang Ge smiled with his eyes bent: "I won't tell you."

Zhu Zhengrong said warmly: "I think the general probably can't tell why."

"What if I could tell?"

Zhu Zheng pondered for a moment, then Fang said: "If you can tell, I will answer you one thing, anything is fine."

"That's good! It's a deal!" Chang Ge put his hands behind his back and smiled at the gentleman in the mirror, "I will tell you on January [-] or [-] next year, on your birthday, sir? Remember what I said today, Mr. No joke!"

Zhu Zheng nodded: "You are not joking."

All dressed up, the ceremonial car in the palace is already waiting at the door for Zhu Zheng.Chang Ge personally helped him into the carriage, Zhu Zheng Changshun's clothes swept across the carriage pedals, and gathered them behind the gauze curtain like flowing water.

The curtain on one side of the car was lifted, and Zhu Zheng only showed half of his face: "I will be back when Haishi comes."

Chang Ge just waved to him: "Everyone is waiting for you alone, and they are too tired to leave." Zhu Zheng then lowered the curtain.

The luan bell on the carriage rang crisply, Chang Ge watched the carriage go away, thinking about a poem in his mind.

When I see a gentleman, I write with my heart.

And Luan Yongyong, all fortunes are the same.

The author has something to say:

[1] From "Historical Records"

[2] Bai Sikong: Zhu Zheng pretended to be called the Wuling Bai family. At this time, he had the habit of using his surname + official position, such as Prime Minister Mei, Liu Shangshu, Song Zhongshu, etc., so Song Yu called him "Bai Sikong"

[3] "He Luan Yong Yong, Wan Fu You Tong": from "Xiao Ya Liao Xiao", describing the poem of seeing the monarch, feeling happy, and blessing the emperor of Zhou. The full text is as follows:

Liaobi Xiaosi, zero exposure.When I see a gentleman, I write with my heart.Yan laughs and talks, so he has a good reputation.

Liaobi Xiaosi, zero exposure.When you see a gentleman, you are a dragon and a light.His virtue is not good, and he will not forget his life test.
