Chapter 89 Rivers and mountains are in the wind and rain

Sunny light blows through the beaded snow curtain, making the Nuan Pavilion bright and clear, the fire is thin, and the fragrance of tea is dense. If you talk about light Zen, you can also find it in Yueyang Palace.My warm pavilion is as simple and elegant as possible. I don't like the decoration with heavy powder smell, but I like the clean and leisurely layout. A game of chess, a stack of scriptures, a jade incense burner spewing green smoke, snow bamboo and ice plums outside the window, a silver building Qiongyu, a natural picture.It is clearly this poetic and leisurely day, but why does it always stir up thousands of waves?Could it be that all of this is really running according to the laws of history? Chu Yu said that he can't change anything, maybe this war is destined to be started by him, and this is a mission he cannot escape.

Concubine Wu looked at me intently, and said softly: "Sister, you are restless, you will mess up the chess game like this, and you have already lost half of the game before the chess piece falls." I smiled lightly: "Sister, my mind is not disturbed, but there are some things, I want to sort out the context, and then I can follow the context to find the answer I want." Concubine Wu held the sunspot in her hand, she was about to fall, she just smiled and said: "Actually, everything follows the usual rules, but we can't adapt to these so-called normal, so every time we encounter turmoil when we are stable, we will feel uneasy. I also Also, today I came to my sister's Yueyang Palace because of uneasiness, and wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with my sister, because this Zijin City belongs to my sister and I are close friends, and I know more things than others, and I am calm and mature." Concubine Wu said a series of words I have said so much, but every sentence is to the point, movement and stillness are common things, she is uneasy today, and she can hear how I feel in her heart in her words.

I sighed: "Sister really cares about the emperor." Concubine Wu raised her eyebrows and looked at me: "Why does my sister say that over and over again?" "Your uneasiness is all caused by the emperor. The reason why you are so concerned about the current situation is that you are actually worrying about the emperor." Concubine Wu smiled slightly: "Why didn't my sister say that I was caring about myself?" I looked at her puzzled: "Why did my sister think so?" Concubine Wu smiled: "It seems that my sister is still too innocent. Although she sees the world thoroughly, her heart is as pure as the same. There are some things, I'm afraid you won't even think about them."

"Then teach my sister." I smiled. "If I went to find Concubine Yun today, not to mention Concubine Yun, but other concubines, they would see that I was uneasy about the current situation, and then inquire about government affairs. What do you think they would think? Could it be the same as you, Just to put it simply, does sister really care about the emperor?" Concubine Wu's words were full of helplessness and coolness, and I already understood what she said. I smiled: "It's not that I don't know how to think about it, but a character like my sister doesn't allow me to think about it. My sister is naturally pure, gentle and elegant, so how can I think about my sister?"

Concubine Wu smiled slightly: "I'm not as pure as my younger sister thinks, maybe I really care about my status, the court is in turmoil, Da Qi is in danger, of course I, the emperor's concubine, have to worry. I want to keep my high status Status, I will stop anything that is against me in the slightest. It’s just that I’m weak, so what can I stop? It’s just that after I know some news, I will only annoy myself.” I smiled lightly: "My sister is a person who is greedy for luxury. It's fine if they can't see through it. I don't believe that my sister can't see through it. Since ancient times, the moon has profit and loss, the world has prosperity and decline, and people have separation and reunion. Maybe we are lucky. , living in this already stable dynasty, you can still enter the palace to enjoy the glory and honor, but the world is unpredictable, who can predict tomorrow? When we are prosperous, we have to think about the time of humiliation, and when we are in season, we have to think about the time of departure. That would be so calm.”

Concubine Wu smiled lightly: "Sister, I'm not an open-minded person. I understand everything you say, but I can't do it if you want me to look down on everything. My peace is to wait for the last brilliance. I can bear it, I can I have endured for many years, and I can exchange one year for one day, sister, are you willing?" Concubine Wu's words were so clear, she revealed her true meaning so clearly in front of me, which made me not know whether to be moved or confused.What moved me was her sincerity, and what confused me was the gap between the dancing concubine I knew and this dancing concubine. I don't know if it was my fault or she was just like that.

I looked at this messy game of chess and sighed: "I am not an open-minded person. Not only am I not open-minded, I am also cowardly. I am determined in my heart, but I still forbear. My forbearance is not in exchange for the brilliance of that day, but I can't. Take hold of yourself." Concubine Wu finally put down the chess piece in her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, finish playing the chess, let's talk while playing chess." I frowned: "Sister, looking at this messy game of chess, I really don't care." Concubine Wu sighed and looked at the chessboard in silence.

I sighed: "The chess pieces are all others, without myself, I don't want them to be my chess pieces, and I don't want to be someone else's chess pieces. I don't want to have any conspiracy, I don't want to see love, hate and parting in chess. , I don’t want to see success or failure in chess, I don’t want to see the ending I don’t want to see in chess.” I was so excited that I even shocked myself, but these words were my true thoughts, I was tired of In addition to predicting the country on the chessboard, I am also tired of losing and losing for no reason.I don't want to be Chunyi's pawn, and I don't want to be defeated quietly by Concubine Wu every time.I don't care about winning or losing, I just want to know where I am weak, but this kind of thinking has become a luxury.

Concubine Wu was stunned for a while, before she whispered: "Okay, okay, sister, we don't play chess. It's my sister's fault, I'm always entangled in these things, in fact, I'm also upset." I calmed down and said apologetically, "Sister, I was too abrupt to say so many crazy things all at once." Concubine Wu took my hand and comforted me: "Sister, don't think too much, I understand what you said, in fact, it wasn't me who won you, it was my sister who was too innocent and couldn't bear to play tricks on me, you let me do this. "

I shook my head and smiled lightly: "Sister, I didn't give in to you on purpose. I treated each other with a normal heart, without the slightest pretense, and forbearance. It's my sister who is superb at chess. I am convinced that I lost, and I have no complaints." Concubine Wu smiled: "The emperor praised my sister's superb chess skills, quick thinking, and smooth moves in front of me. He almost lost to you several times. And do you know? I always lose in front of the emperor, why is that?" I laughed loudly and said: "Is this the so-called Xiangke? It turns out that there is no distinction between high and low chess skills, but depends on who the opponent is, and this will determine the outcome of chess."

Concubine Wu nodded thoughtfully: "My sister is right, but only masters play chess like this. Ordinary people play chess, it still depends on their chess skills." "It's natural, and I suddenly understood a lot." After I finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. The two stood up and looked out the window. The snow on the branches hadn't melted yet, but the snow on the roof tiles was melting slowly, like rain, dripping down, carving the snow on the ground into gradually larger holes.We stared at such a scene, thinking about our own lives.Mine has nothing to do with hers, and hers has nothing to do with mine. When Chunyi came, we were all still in deep thought, until he said: "What are the two concubines thinking, they are so lost in thought?" Only then did he turn around and salute him: "How did the emperor come? The concubine is welcome." Chunyi waved his hand: "My concubine, don't be too polite." The three fell into a brief silence.Concubine Wu broke the silence and said with a smile: "Since the emperor has something to do with sister Mei, I have bothered her for a long time, so I went back." Chunyi said in a deep voice: "Concubine Wu, stay here. I just came to Yueyang Palace to relax. Since you are here, stay and accompany me with Meiqing." Listening to Chunyi's words, it seems that he has something on his mind. Come to Yueyang Palace to relax. "Yes." The princess dance replied. I watched Chun Yi frown, a little more melancholy appeared on Jun Yi's face, and he stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was sighing.Can't help but still ask: "Has the emperor encountered any difficulties?" "The war is about to start." Chun Yi said these words calmly and coldly, but it caused unrest ripples in the hearts of Concubine Wu and me. Concubine Wu asked urgently: "Is it Chu Xianmo?" Chunyi looked at her suddenly: "It seems that this Chu Xianmo is really powerful, and his name is well known." Chunyi's words let me hear that he did not doubt me, and I told many things For Concubine Wu, in fact, for me, there is no need to deliberately conceal these things, everything will be known sooner or later. I was silent, just waiting for Chunyi to tell the reason of the incident, why the war started, could it be that Chu Xianmo challenged the court. A sneer sneered at the corner of Chun Yi's mouth: "Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of. They're just mobs. I've always believed that evil never overpowers righteousness. Those so-called martial arts people, with the slogan of justice, ruled the world and wanted to take half of me. As a king, how can the court allow them to be so arrogant?" Concubine Wu sighed softly: "Your Majesty, these martial arts people are powerful, the important point is that they are all highly skilled in martial arts, and each sect and sect have different unique skills. If they gather their strength to compete with the imperial court, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle." Chunyi smiled and said: "When they hold a martial arts conference, I will give out many rare treasures and a few official positions as prizes. Since ancient times, fame and fortune have been put first. I don't believe it. They won't be moved in the slightest." Concubine Wu agreed: "The emperor has a good idea. The reason why they make troubles is for fame and fortune. If the emperor rewards them with this, they will not be unmoved." I said calmly: "I'm afraid that many of them are the remnants of the previous dynasty. If they were those people, would they be so easily moved?" Concubine Wu looked at me and replied: "Sister, there are all kinds of gangs in such a big world. It is impossible for them to be united. Among them are the remnants of the previous dynasty, and there are also loyal and righteous people. Conflict, discord, it will not be easy to win, but the imperial court is powerful and the country has been stable for many years, they have been trying to oppose the imperial court for so many years, but in the end they all come to nothing." Concubine Wu's analysis is different. Unreasonable, indeed. I praised: "My sister is right. Since ancient times, when a dynasty perishes, countless people will try their best to restore it, but what is lost is lost after all. How many people managed to overthrow the lost rivers and mountains? It's just that they shed more blood. More people have that boring dream." Chunyi said happily: "It seems that the concubines understand very well. I am really lucky. If the concubines in the harem are like this, my ministers should understand better, and I don't need to worry too much." I sighed softly: "This Immortal Chu is supposed to be an extraordinary character, the emperor must be prepared for the battle." Chunyi smiled lightly: "I have already made preparations and ordered people to arrange everything. I believe that Chu Xianmo is not an ordinary person, but since ancient times, there are countless people like him. If I have to use such a high People are my great luck. If I can’t use them, I have no regrets. The so-called Dao is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high. Everything has a definite number. I am the true Son of Heaven. This is already a fact. So I will let go of my heart , Conquering him, winning or losing depends on the sky." Concubine Wu said firmly: "The concubine believes that the emperor must be the winner." "The concubines also believe it." I said this not in a perfunctory way, but because I really believed it. I believed that Chun Yi was the right man, but Chu Yu would hurt herself even more.Because he is benevolent, when one day he wakes up and sees that the world is in chaos because of him and the people are suffering because of him, how can he feel so bad?How is he dealing with himself? Chun Yi smiled and said: "No matter when the war starts, I will take care of everything, and the two beloved concubines don't have to worry." He looked out of the window and said: "When I came here just now, I saw the scenery after the snow was so beautiful. You are weak, so I won't take you out for fun. Just drink tea here and talk about some light topics." The fire has been burning. In this cold season, if there is no fire, maybe people's hearts will be colder.I like to watch silver charcoal burn, but how long will such a luxurious life last?
