Drunken Exquisiteness

The Guihong Building in Linxianfang has always been a good place to have a wine chat in Yige City. Sitting on the building, looking at the river, splashing ink, and building laughter are all the yaxing that guests often have. Although it's not very warm in front of me, as soon as February is over, the Chuyan River melts from ice and snow. Walking along the long street, there is a breeze and steep oncoming, which has brought the refreshing air of pink and willow green, which makes people take a deep breath. Cozy and relaxed.

The open front hall of Guihong Building was noisy, and the guests, like crucian carp, were as lively as usual. Most people have been talking about the same thing happily these days.

In February of this year, in Jiashen, the Emperor Hao Di Naqin Tianjian Zhengqing did not agree, set up a ceremony, held a ceremony, and took the queen to Xuansheng Palace Wumingtai to sacrifice to Jingyun Mountain.

On that day, the sky above the sky, the sun and the moon, shone on all directions. In Jingyun Mountain, purple clouds are lingering, the cliffs on the south side of the mountain burst for no reason, and the two swords of the royal family who have been missing for decades have reappeared.

Those who get to leave get the world, and the two swords come out at the same time, it is the auspicious omen of the emperor and the queen.

Before Emperor Hao succeeded to the throne, the image of a powerful enemy from outside and Kyushu in the inside was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He is well aware of years of wars and uneasy people's livelihood. After he became the emperor, he was punishable by fuss, abolished harsh government, rehabilitated with the people, dismissed corrupt officials, punished cruel officials, promoted agriculture and industry, traded roads, and promoted insightful people. And the people are deeply supported. The queen is also from a famous family, loves the people like a child, and has rescued the people in disasters several times before, and is well-known for her kindness and virtue. For example, today, when the gods are coming, the two swords are combined, and everyone in the states of the celestial dynasty rushes to tell each other, all praising the destiny.

The story of the founding of the Excalibur became more and more mysterious, and then Emperor Hao issued an edict to the world, abolished strong conscription, and abolished slavery. This move made the emperor's prestige flourish, and the previous rumors were quickly lost in this menacing destiny.

Although it has been many days, no matter where you go to heaven, you can often hear the words "guili sword" and "fuyi sword". At this time, in the Guihong Tower, there is a music girl singing and singing about the incident, and the Yaoqin drums, passing through the bead curtain and jade households, from time to time into a quiet elegant room inside.

Gong Sicheng listened attentively for a while, then sighed, and said to the humanity in front of him: "Shuangjian was born, all over the world will be served. Mr. Mo is highly skilled and admire him."

Mo Buping's eyebrows moved slightly, and he laughed: "God bless me, the Holy Lord was born at the order of the Lord, and it is a blessing that the divine sword was lost and recovered."

Gong Sicheng knew that there was something else in this matter, but he also knew that it was impossible for Mo Buping to show a little bit of breath, so he laughed at him and said: "Mr. Mo has a brilliant plan, and often saves people from danger. Today I invited my husband to come. Seek each other."

Unfairly said: "Please speak."

Gong Sicheng said: "Presumably, Mr. must have known that the dog was not up to the point and caused a catastrophe. I hope Mr. will save him."

Ten days ago, the former Yingchuan transshipment agent Gong Ke was detained to Tiandu, and is now in the prison of Dali Temple. Although the matter of Dingzhou has not yet been finalized, everyone knows that Gong Ke has no escape.

Mo Buping picked up the azure jade porcelain cup in front of him, but was not in a hurry to drink tea: "You should ask His Royal Highness King Zhan about this matter, why have you found me here?"

Gong Sicheng shook his head dejectedly: "Mr. Mo is a sensible person. What kind of face do I have to ask King Zhan again after such a trouble in Dingzhou? He didn't blame me. It’s my affection. At the moment, only the husband can save the children, and the help of the uncle will not be forgotten. Please be sure to accomplish it!"

Unfairly said: "The Dingzhou matter is handed over to the three divisions for trial. The evidence is solid, and the old man can do nothing."

Gong Sicheng didn't want him to refuse so bluntly, his face instantly whitened: "Mr. Mo..."

Mo Buping is not an absolutely ruthless person, but this matter is indeed unable to help: "You should be very clear about who wanted Linglang's life, and for what. It is true that it is true that Yushitai had another one hour ago. Zouben impeaches the second son of the mansion for a banquet and fun at the national funeral. This zouben has been made public, and the results will be seen soon. You still have a plan."

Gong Sicheng’s face was pale as death: "The matter of Baizhangyuan is all my fault, and each is the master. If the mother wants to take my life, I have nothing to say. Please tell me, Mr. To comfort the spirit of King Che in the sky, please raise your hand and let go of the little dog."

"The mother doesn't want your life." Mo Buping sighed, "What it's like to lose a loved one, I think you already understand one or two by now, and that's all I can say." He stood up and left, but after all he couldn't bear it. , Then said: "In fact, there is someone you might as well try. If he is willing to help you, the son may be saved."

Gong Si hurriedly asked: "Who is it?"

Do not even say: "King Li."

The cavalry shooting field centered on the shooting platform in the south of Yige City is more than 20 miles weekly. It covers a wide area and can accommodate up to 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. It is the main venue for the training of the heavenly army.

Since the Shengwu Dynasty, due to frequent wars, the world of martial arts has gradually prevailed. Whether it is the children of the noble family or the common people, most of them rode archery and practice martial arts. Over time, in addition to playing the ball in the garden and chatting and feasting, among the nobles, they often used it as a recreational game, and they were everywhere in the shooting field.

Before he was crowned king, Ye Tianli was a famous stray figure in Tiandu, first-class lazy, first-class dude, although now he has taken over the Gyeonggi Division, he hasn't stopped in the slightest, but he still has fun, obviously he has not been a good minister. Wang's plan. After the edict that entrusted him with the important task, he has never been seen in the Gyeonggi Division. Not only that, he also ordered the thousands of Gyeonggi Guards to be driven out of the government camp, allowing them to enter and leave the casino brothel. .

The Manchus knew that King Li was favored by Shengen, and Emperor Hao was simply indulging him. He acted in this way, causing a group of veterans to be worried, and frequently wrote to advise. But recently, the number of cases reported to Yousi in Tianduzhong has decreased day by day, and the city’s public security is good and orderly, and no one can fault it. Emperor Hao is indifferent, and King Li does his own way, and is very free.

As the weather picks up, the shooting range is a bit more lively than usual. The soldiers of Gyeonggi Guard are most afraid of King Sui Li coming to the school. When they see the silver gun in King Li's hand, everyone feels frustrated.

King Li’s marksmanship is now becoming more and more superb. In the past few months, he has been very interested. Almost a dozen Gyeonggi guards have been ordered to practice marksmanship every day. Which flower fist embroidered his legs made him look unpleasant. Even if he was expelled from Gyeonggi Division, he even complained of grievances. There is no place.

The silver light flashed in the field, and a long knife was pierced into the air. The guards all around shouted in unison. Ye Tian sharply threw the silver spear, and threw it to the guard beside him: "I can't hold the knife securely, go back and practice!"

The soldier who had just practiced with him had already walked nearly a hundred moves under his hand. He was kneeling in front of him, feeling anxious. He was overjoyed when he heard the words, knowing that today is a pass: "Thank you, Lord for your advice!"

Ye Tianli walked outside. Just now, he heard the noise at the Zuoying campus not far away. He asked as he walked, "What is the noise over there?"

The guard immediately replied: "It's Lintai Shaoqing Gongxing and Miss Yin family who are competing with each other."

Ye Tianli wondered: "What's the matter?"

The guard said: "I heard that the Yin family and the Gong family were engaged in a marriage contract a year ago. Ms. Yin must have been unwilling, but her father's order was hard to violate, so she took someone to Gong Xing, as if to force him to divorce."

After Ye Tianli listened, he cursed Yin Jianzheng in his heart. What does he consider his daughter? Then he thought about it again, and said, "Go, go and see."

In the Zuoying school field, apart from the onlookers and some nobles who came to shoot and hunt, there were also more than a dozen women in riding attire surrounded by them, all with crowns and hair, brave and heroic. They seemed to come with Yin Caiqian. Help the momentum.

At this time, the messy noise gradually lowered, and Ye Tianli didn't let the guards disturb others. He first stood on the periphery and looked into the field, only to see where he was fighting. Yin Caiqian rode on a purple horse, dressed in a ferret-rimmed riding outfit, stepped on Wupil gold boots, with a flying swallow bow in his hand like a full moon, just a few steps away, aiming at Gongxing impartially , His face felt like frost: "Gong Xing, do I understand enough? Do you agree or not!"

This Gong Xing is the second son of Gong Sicheng. This person usually dances in writing and is self-proclaimed. He has no evils except for fighting cock-fighting dogs, at least he is much better than his brother. At this moment, Yin Caiqian pointed an arrow at it, and didn’t panic: “Why is this the eldest lady? My parents’ orders, and the matchmaker’s words, can I do it with one word? You and I have known each other since childhood, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. Nothing is wrong, how can you move the knife and the gun?"

Yin Caiqian Liu Mei coldly said: "Nonsense! Who has been with your childhood sweetheart? Besides, even if you are about to make your childhood sweetheart marriage contract, it will not be your turn!"

Gong Xing smiled and said: "So, does the eldest have a heart? But I don't know which family's son, why not invite me to see you?"

Yin Caiqian has always admired the domineering and heroic man. He hates his slippery playboy. Her silver teeth are broken and her face is not well colored: "Yes! I just belong to my heart, but he doesn't marry. He lives better. You are a thousand times, a hundred times, if you are not convinced, first win the arrow in my hand, and then go to compete with him!"

Even though the folk customs of the celestial dynasty were not restrained, most of those present were soldiers with bold nature, but there was still an uproar in the surroundings when a woman said this in public. She fell behind, but there was applause from the crowd, and Ye Tianli stepped into the arena slowly: "Well said!"

Suddenly seeing King Li coming, Gong Xing and the people around him came forward to bow. Yin Caiqian could no longer point an arrow at Gong Xing in this way, and then dismounted: "Master."

Ye Tian stared at her for a while, picked the corner of her lips, and slowly turned to Gong Xing and said, "Gong Xing, you are so brave. You dare to enter into a marriage contract without asking who she is. Want to see how capable you are, and how can you force her to marry you?"

This remark made everyone stunned, and a thought came out of everyone's heart - Is the person Yin Caiqian just talking about actually the King Li? If this is the case, according to King Li's usual domineering temperament, this matter will never give up.

Gong Xing was dumbfounded. With his identity, how dare to provoke the arrogant prince in front of him, and he didn’t have the ability to deal with it at first: "Wang... prince, I did not force her to marry me. This is the elders of the two residences for us The marriage contract I made, I just obeyed my father's orders."

Ye Tian raised her eyebrows: "Yin Caiqian has a marriage contract that hasn't been terminated yet. How can she marry others casually? If your two are confused, this king will give you a reminder."

Gong Xing said, "Dare to ask the prince what he said? We have never heard that Miss Yin has another engagement."

Ye Tianli said: "In the twenty-sixth year of Shengwu, Empress Yin named Yin Caiqian as Princess Che. Although at that time because of Yu Su's rebellion, the Eleventh Emperor's brother had not had time to get married, but the matter was settled long ago. Isn't this what a marriage contract is? You Gong Xing dare to marry Princess Che after eating a bear heart and a leopard courage?"

Everyone didn't realize that this was what he was talking about, and they looked at each other immediately. Although there was indeed something about marriage at the beginning, after King Che died in battle, no one mentioned it again, but now that King Li said it, everyone felt unable to refute it.

The palace never intended to abolish this marriage contract, so in name Yin Caiqian should indeed be Princess Che who has not yet held the wedding ceremony.

Gong Xing froze for a long time before saying: "But King Che..." Halfway through the conversation, Ye Tianli's sharp eyes pierced toward him, so shocked that he didn't dare to speak. Ye Tianli obviously didn't intend to tell him anything. After the warning, she turned her gaze to Yin Caiqian, waiting to see her reaction, but unexpectedly found that Yin Caiqian was looking at him intently, with a trace of sorrow in her expression, making him Somewhat puzzled.

Yin Caiqian saw him look over, took a step forward, and said to Gong Xing: "The prince is right. My marriage contract with King Che has never been terminated. I have already said that the person I like is better than you. Thousands of times!" She lifted her jaw and raised her voice so that everyone could hear clearly, "Regardless of King Che's life or death, I will not marry Yin Caiqian! I will enter the palace now to ask for the marriage. Gong Xing, if you have the courage, , Let's ask the emperor and the emperor to judge!"

Her move was beyond Ye Tianli's expectation, because Ye Tianli hated the Yin family and the Gong family a lot because of King Che's affairs, and her attitude towards Yin Caiqian was not as good as before. He intervened in this matter today because he originally wanted to make the two riders difficult. Even if they were not caught in a dilemma, they would lose face and make people laugh. As for whether Yin Caiqian really wanted to keep the festival for King Che, this was originally not in his consideration. Suddenly heard that Yin Caiqian was about to perform the finger marriage at that time, she was shocked and unavoidably shocked: "You want to marry the Eleventh Emperor?"

Yin Caiqian said: "Yes, I want to marry him." She was determined, and immediately turned up and left the school.

Ye Tianli was a while later than Yin Caiqian, and failed to stop her before entering the palace. He rushed to the Zhiyuan Hall and learned that the emperor and the queen were both at Tsinghua Station.

Tsinghua Terrace Pavilion is exquisite, because it is located in the south of Miya City, near Qishan, and is connected by hot spring water to form a five-color pool. The color of the pool is changeable, refreshing, and inexhaustible all year round. In winter, it is cold and snowy everywhere, but here is warm as spring. Lan Zhi was planted all around the five-color pool. At this time, Xiu Ye and Ping Ting had already bloomed gracefully, faintly scented in the Lantai Fengge Pavilion, the quietness of dust was different from the coldness of the cold wind outside.

Because Qing Chen is afraid of the cold, he often lives here after the winter. Firstly, to avoid the cold, secondly, the hot spring water has some curative effects, which is very beneficial to the body and is convenient for recuperation. In addition to summoning foreign ministers, Ye Tianling is also here on weekdays to review memorials and deal with political affairs. Today, he is discussing something with Qing Chen, his expression is serious, and Qing Chen's face is also slightly sad. Yin Caiqian and Ye Tianli asked to see each other one after another. One made such an outrageous request, and the other stood there wanting to speak, but Ye Tianling saw a dark color between his brows. He didn't look at Yin Caiqian, but only asked Ye Tianli: "what happened?"

Ye Tianli hesitated for a moment, and then he said to Yin Caiqian, "What I said at the school was just to embarrass Gong Xing. Why should you take it seriously? Besides, the original marriage, Eleventh Emperor did not Yes, it doesn't count."

Seeing Yin Caiqian knelt down in front of her with a resolute expression, Qing Chen sighed softly: "Just now I was discussing with your Majesty, to move King Che's coffin back to Tiandu to be buried in the Eastern Tombs, you are better off, let's have such a fight first." Moved forward, stretched out her hand to support Yin Caiqian, "You get up, how can such a thing be a joke?"

Yin Caiqian followed her hand and raised her head, but her face was already full of tears: "I beg your mother to fulfill me, I am really willing to marry King Che. I am not kidding what I said in front of so many people."

Qing Chen looked down at her, her eyelashes cast a deep shadow like a fan, which could hide the sadness between her eyebrows, and whispered: "King Che is no longer there, I can't fulfill you. I will cancel your marriage contract with him. Isn’t that why you ran away from home? Now, get what you want."

With tears splashing on Yin Caiqian's face on the cold bluestone floor, she just kowtowed forward: "Caiqian's heart has been decided, please make it happen!"

Qing Chen was originally in a bad mood, slightly displeased, and frowned: "In front of the Youzhou Military Camp, you asked King Che to withdraw your decree to get married in front of me, and get married with him. Did you forget? "

Yin Caiqian said: "At that time, he didn't know me, and I didn't know him; now and today, I respect him upright, love him happily and unrestrainedly, and miss him a lot of life and death. At that time, I ran away not because of His Royal Highness Che Not good, but..."

Suddenly she was a little cowardly, stopped, and finally mustered the courage to look at Ye Tianling: "I like others. Later, when I thought about a lot of things, it was too late."

A cloud-like color floated under Qing Chen's eyes, which was difficult to distinguish for a while. The smell of cloud fragrant in the temple diffused away, like a slight sigh of longing away, falling down the Jinping imperial case, and gradually falling all over the ground.

The Yin Caiqian in front of her is clearly no longer the stubborn and willful little girl back then. She is like a budding flower, which is gradually blooming her own beauty. Those apricot eyes are not only bright and pretty, but two years later. The sun has precipitated too much in it, and after the tears, it is as dark as lacquer.

Suddenly encounter, pass by, there are too many rushes in life, so fast that it makes people too late to regret. Past and meeting may leave faint traces in the late night dream, even if they can't be forgotten, they are nowhere to be found.

No matter what kind of sentiment Yin Caiqian has towards eleven now, this kind of sentiment is there after all, so Qing Chen no longer rests in reprimanding her, and her words are much gentler: "The King Li just said that accidentally. If you insist on doing this, it will make him difficult to end."

At this time, Ye Tianling glanced over Yin Caiqian, and suddenly asked, "Did you really think about it?"

Yin Caiqian closed her eyes, tears drawn two lines of clear marks on her face: "Return to your majesty, think clearly." I figured it out, saw it through, and hurt it. What the glorious family can bring to her, she I can't choose, it's okay to just keep that man-like smile forever.

Ye Tianling stood up and paced slowly in the hall, the dark blue silk ribbon hanging down from Long Pei's waist slightly swayed with his footsteps, revealing heavy pressure step by step. After a while, he said, "In that case, you can go to Yanliang with you, and you will first welcome King Che's coffin back to the sky."

His voice was cold and cold, and he couldn't distinguish between happiness and anger. Qing Chen was shocked when he heard the words, but then sighed without saying any objection.

It is fine to let Yin Caiqian go to Yanliang, back and forth for a few months, I must wait for her to come back, the mood will settle down.

Yin Caiqian was originally in awe of Ye Tianling, but after he became emperor, his majesty has increased day by day. His words and deeds have made people more afraid to disobey. She stayed for a moment and whispered: "Caiqian follows the order."

Ye Tianling looked outside the temple for a while, and said to Ye Tianli: "The Ministry of Rites has already drawn up the ritual. It is not appropriate for others to go, so you can go to Yanliang yourself and **** your Eleventh Brother back."

Ye Tianli solemnly said: "My minister takes the order. But she..."

Ye Tianling raised his hand so that he didn't have to say much, and took a note before the case to Yin Caiqian: "As for Gong Xing, you take this back to Jianzheng Yin and let him consider it by himself."

Yin Caiqian stepped forward to take it and opened it to see that it was the memorial of Yushitai's impeachment of Gongxing. The verdict of relegating Zhuozhou to Zhuozhou is brilliantly red. The simple word "quasi" is sharp and sharp, and it is violent when she blows her face. Seeing that her palms are cold and sweaty, she has mixed feelings in her heart. In this way, the marriage with the Gong family will not be discussed again, but the future situation of Gong Xing can also be seen from this.

Ye Tianli and Yin Caiqian left the Tsinghua TV station together. Yin Caiqian walked in front of them in silence. Ye Tianli was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and silent.

When she arrived outside the palace, Yin Caiqian bowed her head and gave a bow, and then turned on her horse. Ye Tianli suddenly stopped her: "Hey, wait!"

Yin Caiqian stopped, and Ye Tian frowned: "Sorry, I didn't want to embarrass you today. Don't bet on it anymore. If Eleven Brothers find out, I will be blamed."

Yin Caiqian cast his gaze lightly at his side, and didn't look at him: "The prince was right today. You don't have to apologize to me. I will keep the spirit of King Che for a lifetime and recite Buddha for a lifetime. This is what I should do."

"What are you?" Ye Tianli's face fell cold, "Do you want to atone for the Yin family?"

Yin Caiqian shook her head: "If you want to speak of sin, your men’s grievances and grievances will not be my turn to redeem. I just remember that King Che accompanied me when he was the most sad in Northern Xinjiang, although he did not have it at that time. Think of me as the future Princess Che, but he accompanies me to drink and chat, ride horses and shoot arrows. Now that I think about it, he is really happy. You are fighting your grudges. Wouldn't it be good for me to accompany him for a drink and talk?" She half Looking up at the blue sky, his robes are flying, and the breeze is flying across his hair, "I'm going to Northern Xinjiang again, I think, if you don't have to go back to Tiandu, he should like Northern Xinjiang better, and you can The place where the horse gallops and the sword shouts proudly is suitable for him."

Ye Tianli feels unspeakable in his heart, and the heavy pressure makes people uncomfortable. He drank: "Stop talking!"

Yin Caiqian finally looked at him, took a close look at him, and said in a daze: "I saw you at the school just now. I really thought it was King Che who is back. But now I look closely and it looks like, but not very like it. He started to get angry. It's more like the emperor, who doesn't speak coldly, and he's scared to think about it."

Ye Tianli was a little annoyed, and he said cruelly: "We are brothers, what's the strangeness? Go back and tell Yin Jianzheng, Eleven brothers, I and the Yin family are not finished!"

Yin Caiqian turned her head, her eyes stabbed with sorrow and sadness, and she said, "Let's do what the prince wants, but don't miss the business of going to the northern Xinjiang." After saying that, she turned on her horse and screamed, and the purple horse let go. Soon it disappeared on the broad road of bluestone.

Ye Tianli was full of emotions with nowhere to vent, and he slapped his horse back home with a tight face. Everyone around him could see that he was in a bad mood and was extra cautious. Seeing him coming back, the servant in the palace wanted to report something to him. He looked at his expression but hesitated.

Ye Tianli turned his head and said without angrily: "If you have something to say, why do you hesitate?"

The servant leaned over and said: "Yes, the prince, Gong Sicheng has come to see you again. I have been waiting for the prince for a long time."

Ye Tianli waved his hand to throw the golden horse whip, a burst of anger in his heart. Gong Sicheng visited the Li Palace yesterday, and Ye Tianli knew that he was here for Gong Ke's business. He didn't see him. He didn't expect him to come today.

The waiter followed Ye Tianli strode forward, seeing him pull his cloak and put his head over, then turned and stopped: "Let him come to see me!"

The waiter bowed and went, and soon attracted Gong Sicheng to come. Ye Tianli had already entered the dormitory, and the attendant went to inform, Gong Sicheng stood under the stairs and waited. Before Gao Yanhuazhu, his independent body was a little rickety, with white sideburns, and old wind and frost. He raised his head and looked inside the palace, the palace curtains were far away and bottomless, making people feel depressed and uneasy for no reason. Originally, he could not see King Li for two days. He was a little bit frustrated, but now no one except King Li can say a word in front of the emperor and queen. No matter what the attitude of King Li, he always Give it a try, this is the last hope after all.

After a while, someone from the depths of the sleeping hall finally came out, it was King Li. Gong Sicheng had no time to think carefully, and hurriedly took a few steps forward: "Lord."

Ye Tianli had already changed into a brocade gown at this time, with a buckle inlaid with jade, an arrow sleeve wrapped in gold, a crown of beads and seven jewels on the head, a handsome jade face, with nobleness and coldness. He stopped slowly in front of the temple, condescendingly looking at Gong Sicheng, his face did not see the previous anger, but it was gloomy and a little frightening, and there was a bit of evil in the arrogance.

He was silent, and Gong Sicheng had to bend down and wait. After hearing a sneer from above for a long time, Ye Tianli said, "You want to save Gong's life?"

He asked this directly, Gong Sicheng was stunned, and then said: "You are a jerk, you can't redeem it for a hundred deaths, but please save him. If the prince is willing to speak, the emperor will definitely be kind."

Ye Tianli said: "Okay, this king promises you."

He was so happy, not only did he not have the humiliation he had expected, he didn't even see a single excuse, Gong Sicheng was extremely surprised, and then hurriedly said: "...Thank you, Lord!"

Ye Tianli stared at him, and the corners of his lips slowly gave birth to a very cold smile: "You don't need to thank the king, the emperor said, since Gong Xing has decided to be demoted to Zhuozhou, Gong Ke, I will send Dingzhou to the army, thank you. "Sword's eyebrows raised and the voice raised, "Come and see off the guests!" He turned back to the hall without turning around.

His words were like a bolt from a blue sky, and Gong Sicheng's eyes were almost completely dark, as if he had fallen into **** from a dead end. Thirty-six states in the world were distributed to Dingzhou alone. The Gong Ke army food case killed dozens of soldiers in Dingzhou. The soldiers and civilians of Dingzhou longed for cramping and eating their meat. It's better to die! Gong Sicheng stood stiffly in place, his cloudy eyes were empty, and the cold wind hit his heart.
