Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty

On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the fourth year of Yuanqing, the news of Ruzhou's great victory came from eight hundred miles away from the front line. In order to boost the confidence of the national victory, King Wu'an deliberately exaggeratedly ordered people to spread the news of Ruzhou's great victory to Xindu University three times. The Hanyuan Hall in Chen Palace deliberately drummed and screamed along the way, and soon it became known all over the country. Sure enough, during the New Year this year, Dezong, who had been suffering from asthma for a long time, was also very energetic because of the good news. It was Dezong's natal year, and he gave amnesty to the world, and the whole country in Xiting looked happy and refreshed. This year, he was able to personally preside over the meeting of the hundred officials at the beginning of the new year. Because the state affairs were still urgent, the people could not hold the meeting. The large-scale Lantern Festival, King Wu'an called this opportunity. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, he held the lantern plum in the Dachen Palace to appease the royal family. Close ministers and royal family members enjoy the lantern festival together.

Before nightfall, the eunuchs lit up this year's palace lanterns early, starting from the Linde Hall, and slowly lighting up the entire Dachen Palace one by one. The glass vases reflect beautiful women and strange flowers, the mica barrier and Langyuan in Yingzhou, even in the Furong Lake, Taiye Pool and other clear streams, the people in the palaces on both sides of the stone fence are tied with crystal glass lanterns of various colors. The silver light and snow waves bloomed at five nights, and King Wu'an ordered the palace people to bring ten thousand willow and apricot plants, and use famous and colored silk, silk, paper, silk and grass as flowers, stick them on the trees, and hang ten thousand glass lamps on each plant, It is full of exquisite pearls and jade, gold and silver tassels, and I feel that the ups and downs are competing for brilliance, the water and the sky are radiant, and the beauty is beautiful.

The inner and outer wives also called out the luxurious dress that had not been worn for many years. The shoulders were covered with colorful silk, the hibiscus face was pasted with flowers, and the face was painted with dimples. Spring moths of newly-made palace gauze are inserted on the high bun, snow willows strung with pearls and emeralds are hung on the sideburns, angels in fragrant clothes and shadows in the glazed world are surrounded by three or two, incense fans cover their red lips slightly, and smiles are full of wonderful eyes to express love, Listening to the singing of swallows and music in the air, and the drumming all night, it is really like being in a world of jewels, fairyland in a fairyland.

Dezong recovered from a long illness and was exhausted. He took a dragon boat to swim around Taiye Pool and then returned to the shore. Lively, the danjiao in the emerald jade bead curtain has a graceful figure, with peach-red vermilion eyes slanted, and the water pupils are slightly drunk, the sound of the sound of the day is transmitted to the sky far away, and even the soldiers guarding the city of Danfengmen are concentrating in the heavy snow listen carefully. "The fragrance of Luo Yi seeps into the wine for the first time, the smoke in the brocade tent disappears and the moon fades away, Cui is dreamed back to people in the cold, calling Luan Luan, half of them are lazy and half of them are lazy... Fangxin wants to say to others, and can't bear to fold it lightly. The bridge is lightly smoked, the hut is clear and the moon is clear, how much spring is hidden..."

That corner was sung in a perfect state, and everyone was fascinated by it, and they were really moved, especially the female relatives. Yin Xun was cold but didn't know it, and forgot to blame the lazy slave who was obsessed with listening to it, and stepped forward to replace it. "The glass palace is warm and fragrant, the jade city is deep and the swallows are rolling late, two butterflies are flying, one loves flowers, the other is full of spring, one is flying grass, one is playing in the market, one is shooting evening smoke, and the other is greedy for tender hearts In the previous life, the master and the slave were inseparable, but they hate each other in this life, and it is difficult to leave..."

The gaze of the Danjiao was affectionately cast down the stage, and Dezong followed the gaze of the Danjiao, and saw that the first place where King Wu'an descended was the current Crown Prince Xuanyuan Benfu, and beside him sat a man dressed in black and python robes. The man turned out to be Marquis Song. Dezong looked at the Danjiao again, it seemed a little familiar, and unconsciously raised a slight arc on his lips. Song Hou's wolf-like eyes were slightly fascinated for a moment, and then he naturally turned his eyes slightly away, looking at Yuan's Feiyan, the wife of the female family, Yuan Feiyan nodded almost inaudibly, lowered his eyes, and made a promise , went out.

Emperor Dezong leaned over to Yuan Qingjiang on the left and said with a smile: "Where did Yuan Qing's family find an opera troupe, the lyrics are fresh and elegant, this little actress not only has a soft figure, but also has a tactful and moving voice." Yuan Qingjiang bowed his head and said respectfully: "This is the most famous Ruyi class in Xindu. I have specially invited you here to congratulate your Majesty, ladies, princes and princesses on the new year." Eleven-year-old Xuanyuan Fule clapped his hands and laughed, "Grandpa Huang, look at that Danjiao looks like Aunt Shuyi's son-in-law."

Xuanyuan Benxu immediately changed his face, his wife Wang immediately pulled back his son nervously, Xuanyuan Benxu sternly shouted: "Ying wants to talk nonsense about how to compare a royal son-in-law with an actor, it seems that your mother should teach her a lesson. " Xuanyuan Benji immediately silenced his voice, his little face turned pale with fright. King Wu'an's expression was normal, and he waved his hand to Xuanyuan Benxu with a smile.At this time, Xuanyuan Shuyi, the chief among the women's families present, got up gracefully, and said softly: "It's a big festival, brother Huang really don't need to be harsh on Le'er."

Xuanyuan Shuyi began to play: "Father, the person performing on the stage is the son-in-law. Thinking that the father loves to listen to operas, and it happens that there is a big victory ahead, he specially studied for the father for two months in the Ruyi class. Fortunately, on the Shangyuan Festival, I presented it to my father and my father to show my filial piety, and I hope my father will recover soon." Dezong stroked his beard and smiled approvingly, and said to King Wu'an: "At the court, I often say that Aiqing is a model for all officials, dedicated to serving the country with dedication, and I don't want Aiqing to be able to raise children so virtuous and filial. "

King Wu'an resigned as usual, and the hatchback sat down. At this time, Yuan Feiqing finished singing and went down to unload. Dezong sighed: "Yuan Aiqing, in your opinion, which of these sons of mine is worthy of great responsibility?" King Wu'an's heart moved: "Which of the princes is not a dragon, a colt, and a phoenix, all of them are the blessings of the people of my court." "Of course, ah, yes," Dezong looked at King Wu'an with a trace of sarcasm, shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "You will always be as cunning as this fox. I expected you to say that."

"I heard that Mo Yin was seriously injured on the front line. Ben Xu came back from the villa yesterday and said that Mo Yin was really badly injured this time." King Wu An smiled softly: "It is an honor for a subject to die for the country, this little injury is really nothing to worry about." The queen on the lower right of the throne frowned and asked, "Yuanqing's family, I don't know where Mo Yin's injury is, it's so worrying." "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. Mo Yin's chest and shoulders were injured. He has been awake for a few days now and is only recuperating." King Wu An glanced at the Queen, and said with a smile: "Can I ask the Queen to tell the children on my behalf, let them have a few more drinks, and Yuan Qing and I will not blame today, just have fun." The queen smiled slightly, no matter how well maintained she is on weekdays, this smile pushed out the crow's feet that were carefully drawn around her eyes, she said respectfully: "My concubine obeys the order." Then she stood up and was helped down by the maid. "However," De Zong waved his hand slightly: "Yu Feiyan entered the world with this hidden chess game, and killed Dou thief by surprise. It is really clever. Song Hou secretly crossed Chen Cang and won this bloody battle by attacking east and west. It is really clever. It's a pity that Song Hou Not your own son." "Although I am not as good at fighting as you are," Dezong looked at King Wu'an's normal expression, and continued, "Dare to hear that before the war, it is the most taboo for soldiers to dissent. Since Ruzhou is supporting Mo Yin, it is also the former peak. Originally, Feibai was the leader of the Eastern Camp, and Yu Feiyan was Mo Yin's old subordinate, so how about adding the Yanzi army to the Yuande army." King Wu'an thought for a while, nodded and said: "Your Majesty's words are true, I let Yu Feiyan reorganize the Yuande army." "In the past year, I heard that the crown prince was hangovered several times in the son-in-law's mansion." Dezong saw Taihe music dancing on the stage, and said lightly: "I originally ordered Mo Yin to go to Xindu to heal his wounds. I don't want to He was ambushed on the way, so he had to go back to Ziqi Mountain Villa first. Ben Xu, a child who had been friends with Mo Yin since he was a child, left the palace without permission, and wanted to pick Mo Yin back with him personally... His pampered body was frightened a lot, take a look , he didn't say a word tonight." "There is such a thing? The prince is respectful, benevolent and filial. King Xuan (Xuanyuan Benxu's title) has a good reputation," King Wu'an said in a deep voice, "It's time for these rebellious sons in the minister's family to establish rules." "This is a family banquet, Yuan Qing really doesn't need to be formal, but," De Zong only smiled faintly: "Both Qing and I are not young anymore, we should be thinking about the affairs of the future, I'm afraid we don't want to, these children are in a hurry. " Dezong laughed lightly, and King Wu'an pondered for a moment: "I respectfully listen to the emperor's instructions." "I shouldn't be in charge of Qing's housework, but Mo Yin is really talented, and I watched him grow up." When Dezong laughed, his eyes were slightly confused, and he couldn't see the color inside. and. King Wu'an suddenly realized, "Your Majesty wants me to make Feibai the eldest son of the original family?" Then he said with hatred: "It's a pity... this son is a scourge of love and can't be used much." Dezong laughed loudly, and the laughter spread to the audience. Everyone didn't know why the emperor laughed, but they just laughed louder along with him. "When a man is young, who doesn't do a few ridiculous things, let alone for a woman, doesn't Yuan Qing think that Mo Yin is very similar to you when you were young? I'm afraid you were three points more crazy than him back then? I saw it This child reminds me of the stupidity you had when you saw Mei Qing back then." King Wu'an finally couldn't help it, he also laughed, cupped his hands repeatedly and said: "It's Chinese New Year, Your Majesty can spare the old minister, and come to expose the scandal of the old minister when he was young." The two monarchs and ministers laughed for a while. At this time, the son-in-law changed into a bright red auspicious suit, with high camouflage and black hair, and hurriedly returned to the front of the fight. Dezong praised his filial piety and rewarded a pair of cranes and deer with spring jasper screens Feng, the two pairs of Tianzhu Changchun enamel vases, the son-in-law knelt down with Xuanyuan Shuyi to thank them in fear, and then retreated. "I feel that a real man should do his part to his own woman and show his true qualities." Dezong smiled and looked sideways at King Wu'an, jokingly said, "What's more, you and I both know that Mrs. Huaxi is also unusual. woman." After the two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, it happened that the queen returned to her seat, so Dezong took the queen to ask the next princes and ministers about it, and King Wu'an toasted his glass alone and thought about it. At this time, the third watch drum was beating, and King Wu'an was about to persuade Dezong to put on a stand and go back to the palace to rest, but the sky was full of goose feathers and heavy snow, so the palace people hurriedly changed the stove and added charcoal fire, but Dezong put down the stove , stood up and looked up at the starry sky, feeling a little dazed: "Yuanqing, do you still remember the heavy snowfall on the Lantern Festival in the third year of Yongye." King Wu'an's face turned cold. Looking at the heavy snow outside Zhushi, Dezong's mottled old hands unconsciously grabbed the dragon head of the throne, trembling slightly, and slowly the veins burst out one by one. Dezong said in a hoarse voice: "The heavy snow in Zhaoming Palace that year was much bigger than this year's. I remember that the snow was almost knee-deep... I still remember the blood on the ground... Shuqi's blood flowed all over the ground, and I still remember it." I remember her eyes staring at me, and when she got out of Shenwumen, when she turned around, she was still staring at me, and my deserving Ruier..." The queen's face was already full of tears: "That black-hearted thief sinus, put Sister Kong and Princess Rui..." The queen's voice sounded slightly, and the eunuchs and maids beside her had already hurriedly waved their hands, and the surrounding feasts came to an abrupt end.Everyone knows that during the Gengcheng Palace Incident, Dezong's beloved concubine Kong Zhaoyi and her daughter Xuanyuan Benrui were humiliated and died by Dou Yinghua before they could escape. Dezong's pupils contracted, and his kind face suddenly distorted: "Maybe I can't wait for the day when I kill the thief myself, but I must let my sons kill the thief back to the capital, smash the thief to ashes, and restore Xuanyuan's honor." .” King Wu'an and his officials bowed down solemnly and said loudly, "Your respect." In the fourth year of Yuanqing, the spring came long after Fengxue.
