Chapter 15 second quarter

In the cold winter wind, a well-covered sedan chair walks unobtrusively through the streets of Xudu, and the fox fur and mink fur hanging on the pole on the roof of the sedan chair sway in the wind.The car curtain was raised from time to time, revealing a pair of prying eyes.The sedan chair stopped in front of Zhao Yan's mansion in Yiling.Zhao Yanzheng was squatting and sawing the gate, when he looked up and saw the sedan chair, and then saw the fox fur and mink fur shaking on the sedan chair, he shouted loudly: "Go away, fur dealers, I don't buy fur here." Huang Fu, he said: "Master Zhao Yan doesn't recognize you?" Zhao Yan stood up when he heard this, and recognized it with some surprise: "Ah, it is Huang Gonggong." Huang Fu stretched out his finger and hissed, And look around the street.Zhao Yan immediately understood, approached, raised the saw and said in a low voice: "The emperor used to trip over this threshold when he came to his humble house, so I saw this threshold, one point every day, one inch every ten days, one foot every hundred days. , Persevere until the light is sawn." Huang Fu said: "The emperor knows you are loyal. I am going to the mansion of Taiwei Yang Biao now, and you can send me the secret performance at the same time." Zhao Yan looked at the street in the cold wind and said: " I'll be there later."

The sedan chair Huang Fu was riding in stopped at the gate of Taiwei Yang Biao's mansion, and the guard at the gate waved and scolded: "Fur merchants, don't stop the sedan chair here." Seeing that the sedan chair didn't move.A soldier came up to drive them away.Huang Fu lifted the car curtain: "Notify the housekeeper that the goods he ordered have arrived." He said and stuffed a small silver ingot into the other party's hand.The soldier looked at Huang Fu suspiciously, turned around and went in to report.After a while the housekeeper came out in a hurry, and asked suspiciously: "Who ordered the goods?" When he approached and recognized Huang Fu: "Master Huang—" Huang Fu stretched out his finger and booed.The housekeeper immediately understood, looked around the street, and waved his hand: "Carry the sedan chair into the mansion." Huang Fu took the sedan chair and entered the Taiwei's mansion.After getting off the sedan chair, the butler said, "Master Taiwei is practicing archery in the back garden." Then he led Huang Fu in hastily.

Yang Biao was practicing archery in the back garden, and Yang Diao stood by.A few arrows have been shot in the bullseye in the distance.Yang Biao took the arrow, drew the bow, aimed at the target and then put it down, and said to Yang Diao, "Why don't you also practice archery? After a few days, you will participate in Tianzi Field Hunting, and you must not return empty-handed." Yang Diao said, "What is Tianzi Field Hunting? A word from Cao Cao when he went to court? The emperor has nothing to do. Cao Pi is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the prefect of Xudu. Father, you are a sharp shooter, you can shoot through Yang with a hundred steps, why don't you take the opportunity of field hunting and shoot Cao to death with one arrow, and everything will be fine. If you are inconvenient, I can do it by camera." Yang Biaohu glanced: "Nonsense! Others How can you get close? If you miss an arrow from a distance, you won't be chopped into mud right away?" Yang Diao said, "Why don't we use a knife to kill people?" Yang Diao said. Biao glanced at Yang Diao in disbelief, and said, "Kill someone with a borrowed knife? Think it over before you decide. Also, if you want to marry Yuan Shu's daughter, you have to be careful. We are already in-laws with Yuan Shu. It's too late to avoid suspicion, and we'll get married again." Wouldn't it be a big taboo for relatives?" Yang Diao said: "One relative is a relative, and two relatives are also relatives. If you want to avoid it, you can't avoid it. What's the big deal if there is another marriage? Could Cao Cao just kill us? Yuan Shu, Yuan Shaobing There is a lot of food and power, and the power is far above Cao Cao. If you reject this marriage and offend Yuan Shu, don't we lose power both inside and outside? This marriage can be delayed, but the refusal is absolutely impossible, and the two Yuans will be completely offended. .” Yang Biao thought for a while, and hitched the arrow again.An arrow shot out and hit the bull's-eye far away.

At this time, the housekeeper brought Huang Fu to arrive.The housekeeper reported: "Master Huang Fu is here in the palace." Huang Fu then clasped his hands and said, "Huang Fu greets Yang Taiwei and his son." Here?" Huang Fu said: "It's the cold wind from the northwest, the two adults are practicing archery and preparing to participate in the Tianzi Field Hunting?" Yang Diao asked: "I don't know what the emperor thinks?" Huang Fu said: "I still don't understand, isn't it that the surname Cao is playing tricks on the court? He has a lot of soldiers and is surrounded by hunting, isn't it because he is showing off his power? The emperor has no choice but to do so. It’s not smooth for the king.” Yang Biao immediately said: “I’m really guilty of not being able to solve the emperor’s worries and problems.” Huang Fu looked around and said: “It’s not just an opportunity to hunt people and horses in the fields, with swords, guns, swords and halberds. Just now I went to Uncle Liu's house, and we both talked with each other." Yang Biao nodded deeply, and Yang Diao vowed: "I have a plan in mind." Huang Fu said: "That's good." The housekeeper He brought Zhao Yan in again and reported: "Master Zhao Yan is here." When Zhao Yan saw Yang Biao, he kowtowed and said, "Master Taiwei." Yang Biao waved his hands again and again: "You see that Eunuch Huang is here, hurry up and do your business. "Zhao Yan got up and handed a letter to Huang Fu: "Eunuch Huang, this is my secret melody. I have played many things about Cao Cao. Please submit it to the emperor."

Huang Fu nodded and put it in his arms, and said to Yang Diao: "Are you ready? I'll go back to the palace immediately, don't delay outside." Yang Diao said: "It's already ready, and a sedan chair has been arranged to go with Mr. Huang's sedan chair." Huang Fu waved his hand: "That's a big goal. Just go with me in the sedan chair." Yang Diao immediately ordered the housekeeper: "Quickly let someone go with Master Huang." Huang Fu said goodbye to Yang Biao.Yang Diao and Zhao Yan accompanied Huang Fu through the back garden and back to the courtyard to get on the sedan chair.The housekeeper hurried to the front, and when Huang Fu arrived at the sedan chair, the housekeeper was instructing a few servant girls and servants to help a slim woman who covered her head and face into the sedan chair gracefully.Immediately Huang Fu also got into the sedan chair, waved to Yang Diao and Zhao Yan, and the bearers immediately got up from the sedan chair and left.

In the back garden of the palace, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was also practicing archery.A carved bow drawn with precious stones, and arrows made of gold. In the distance stood bear targets with bear skins, tiger targets with tiger skins, and deer targets with deer skins. A few arrows were strewn sparsely on the targets. , None of them hit the vital point.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gritted his teeth and stared for a long time, and shot an arrow, but still missed the target.He sighed angrily.Eunuch Huang Er led several young eunuchs to wait on the side.Huang Er said: "Your Majesty, you can get closer and shoot." Emperor Xian of the Han said angrily: "Can you practice kung fu if you are close? What is it? Field hunting, field hunting, what are you hunting? It is not the emperor's right way at all." Huang Er heard the words of Emperor Han Xian The middle ground, and he said: "The Emperor is unwilling to propose field hunting with the surname Cao. Wouldn't it be over if he dismissed it?" The world is a tradition; when talking about today's turmoil in the world, it is time to use hunting to talk about martial arts. Can I refute this?"

At this time, Huang Fu had already returned to the palace, changed into palace clothes and came to the back garden. Huang Fu taught Huang Er: "Why did you make the emperor angry again?" Huang Er looked at Huang Fu, unwilling to be under him, and had to report: "I advise the emperor to come closer and shoot again, and the emperor will be angry." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Waving his bow and arrow, he said, "Did the wild beasts allow me to come so close during the field hunting? Didn't they all run away earlier?" Huang Fu giggled and said, "The emperor hunted, and used the emperor to approach the wild beasts? The beasts were surrounded by the army before the emperor. It's gone." He turned his head and reprimanded Huang Er and the other eunuchs: "You trash, how can you let the emperor get close to the wild beasts? You have to surround the beasts to the emperor, go, move the target closer." Huang Er led the little eunuchs to run away. to move the target.Huang Fu flattered Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty again: "The emperor waited for the beast to come to him, shot all the arrows in one go, and then rested. I have prepared a pleasing show for the emperor."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was still burning, and watched the eunuchs moving bear targets, tiger targets, and deer targets closer, and said, "What kind of tricks are they doing?" What happened on the first day of going to court?" Han Xiandi said: "Why don't you remember? Didn't he go out in disguise the night before, catch Yang Diao and gather a crowd to drink alcohol, violate the prohibition order, and rob people's daughters." Huang Fu said: "The emperor still remembers What is the name of the girl that Yang Diao robbed?" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said, "Isn't she called Luoyang Furongmei? She sings on the street. I also rewarded her mother and daughter with dozens of pieces of brocade as a token of relief." Huang Fu said: "This Furong girl is quite beautiful, and she is good at playing and singing. She is a rare lady." Han Xiandi's eyes brightened: "Oh, where is she now?" Huang Fu said: "The servant has already brought her into the palace. Here you come, just wait for the emperor to finish shooting the arrow, then you can go and appreciate it." Emperor Xian of Han didn't expect it, he was stunned for a moment, and pretended to be angry and said: "You ghost slave, how dare you kill first and then play." Huang Fu said: "Repay the emperor with all your loyalty." Go boldly." Then he pointed at the animal target that moved twenty steps closer: "Shoot, Your Majesty." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty became interested: "I will shoot this black bear. This black bear is too aggressive and bullying." He said for a while The arrow hit the bear's head.Huang Fu handed the arrow to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: "The emperor will continue to shoot." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty hit the bear target with multiple arrows, and then lowered his bow, sulking: "It's all over." With the air of a son of heaven, he followed Huang Fu out of the back garden .

Entering the hall, Luoyang Furong girl was sitting and waiting with her pipa in her arms, and two maids stood on her left and right, and a maid was standing still with the picture of "A Gentleman Is Good" later on.As soon as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty arrived, Fu Rongmei immediately handed the pipa to the maid beside her, and kowtowed: "The emperor's holy peace." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty approached Fu Rongmei and said, "Lift up your face and let me appreciate it." Fu Rongmei knelt there and straightened her upper body. Following behind Emperor Han Xian, seeing Emperor Han Xian's approval at this time, he rubbed his hands excitedly, but did not dare to talk to him.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty raised Fu Rongmei's chin with his middle finger, and stroked her face: "The skin is very smooth. She was born from a wealthy family, how can you know that I am the emperor?" Huang Fu flattered behind Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty is wearing a dragon robe, so why don't you know?" Han Xiandi stared: "I'm asking her, I need you to talk too much!" Still tracing Fu Rongmei's eyebrows and eyes, he asked: "How do you know that I must be the Emperor? "

Fu Rongmei lowered her eyes and replied cautiously: "The emperor has his own temperament." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty leaned back and laughed loudly: "This is still a bit of a taste." Huang Fu rubbed his hands excitedly behind Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty again.Emperor Han Xian put his body close to Fu Rongmei: "Don't hide, just get close and smell, what can you smell?" The maids standing beside Furongmei said: "Her answer is smarter than yours." Then she picked Furongmei's chin and said: "It's not in place yet, what else does it smell like?" Furongmei didn't know how to answer.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty graciously let go, and said with a smile: "Smell it, I'm sorry you don't dare to say it, it smells like a man, you know? The smell of the real dragon emperor is the smell of the first man in the world. Okay, I order you to play and sing a song first, so that I, the number one man in the world, can enjoy it for a while." As he spoke, he started to walk around the hall with his hands behind his back.Huang Fu waved his hand, Fu Rongmei slowly got up and sat down, and the maid handed the pipa to her.Furongmei plucked the string three or two times on the rotating shaft, and flicked away with low eyebrows.After playing for a while, he sang again accompanied by the pipa.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty walked back and forth, listening carefully and nodding from time to time. Huang Fu watched Han Xiandi's reaction nervously and excitedly. Emperor Xian of the Han waved his hand and said, "Stop!" He walked up to Fu Rongmei again and asked, "I just smelled my scent, would you like to smell my smell every day from now on?" Fu Rongmei lowered her eyes.Huang Fu anxiously winked and gestured at Fu Rongmei behind Han Xiandi.Fu Rongmei nodded slightly.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said again: "I will leave you to serve the night today, and then I will carefully taste your internal and external appearance. If it suits my wishes, maybe I will make you a concubine someday, how about it?" She signaled, afraid of being unclear, she just followed up: "Hurry up and thank the emperor Long En." Fu Rongmei was about to put the pipa and get up and bow down, but Han Xiandi stopped her: "Don't thank you first, play another song, just play but not sing Temperament, I will listen again." After thinking about it, Fu Rongmei bounced off again.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty walked back and forth with his hands behind his back and listened intently.Furongmei played this time emotionally, sometimes passionately, sometimes sadly, ups and downs, ups and downs, sometimes lingering like autumn frost, sometimes sobbing like winter cold.Emperor Han Xian's expression became more and more gloomy, Huang Fu nervously watched the change of Emperor Han Xian's expression.At the end, Han Xiandi not only looked gloomy, but also showed fierceness.Huang Fu was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.Fu Rongmei played another section like a galloping iron horse, but stopped suddenly.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty stared at Furongmei and did not speak, the hall was extremely silent.Emperor Xian of the Han looked gloomy and asked: "Tell me, what is your name, where are you from, and what do your parents do?" Huang Fu hurriedly said: "This servant has already found out that Fu Rongmei's surname is Li, and her name is Mei. , is from Luoyang, parents..." Han Xiandi scolded: "I let her talk, don't need your nonsense." Han Xiandi still looked at Fu Rongmei: "I heard that the song you played was unusual, and it was full of grievances and grievances. There are also many images of soldiers and horses stepping on each other. What is your life experience, you must tell the truth, otherwise you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor." Fu Rongmei shivered slightly with her head down, without saying a word. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said: "If you don't dare to speak, there must be something hidden. I have a promise. As long as you tell the truth, no matter what the situation, you will be forgiven. If you don't report the truth, you will die for the crime of deceiving the king." .” Huang Fu was so nervous that he didn’t even dare to breathe.Fu Rongmei probably figured it out, she breathed a sigh of relief, still hugging her pipa, stretched out her hand to brush her hair, and said, "This concubine is really Dong Zhuo's grandniece." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a long time, and suddenly became furious: "Dong Zhuo once deceived me. It's too much, you're hiding too much from me today, what should you do?" Huang Fu was so frightened that he knelt down at the side, and said to Fu Rongmei, "You still don't kneel down?" Fu Rongmei handed the pipa to the maid, and knelt down on In front of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.Emperor Xian of the Han said angrily: "Dong Zhuo's usurping thief has already been executed by the whole family, but you dare to hide your name and flee to Xudu, and even sneak into the palace. You are really audacious!" Huang Fu: "You dog slave! You are such a bastard, you are blind!" Huang Fu slapped himself from left to right: "The slave is blind." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked gloomyly at Fu Rongmei who was kneeling in front of him, and asked forcefully, "Did you sneak into the palace to murder me and avenge the Dong family? Say it!" Fu Rongmei shook her head slowly against the ground.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty picked her forehead with his foot: "Look up, look at me and answer honestly, are you here to murder me?" Fu Rongmei raised her head, closed her eyes and shook slowly, tears were already streaming down like rain.Han Xiandi gasped for breath.Fu Rongmei might have thought of something, she closed her eyes and shook her head again, tears streaming down her face.Han Xiandi's anger gradually faded, and he said: "I'm sorry you don't dare to be so bold." Tingting said again: "I'm sorry you didn't expect to have the opportunity to enter the palace." After walking back and forth a few times, he stopped and said: "I have said beforehand, I will spare you the death penalty, but the living penalty is inevitable. You have already smelled me, and you must never let me out of the palace again. Come on—" Huang Fu, who was kneeling beside him, immediately crawled up Come over and say: "The servant is here." Han Xiandi said: "Go down to the cold palace and close it." Huang Fu immediately kowtowed and accepted: "Yes, this will be done." He got up and shouted: "Come on." The eunuch came in at the sound, Huang Fu pointed at Fu Rongmei and waved: "Send her to the Cold Spring Palace." Huang Er immediately took Fu Rongmei out with several young eunuchs. Huang Fu looked at Han Xiandi anxiously.Emperor Xian of the Han walked up and down in the hall and sat down, saying: "Look at the good things you can do." Huang Fu hurried up to beat Emperor Xian of Han, and Emperor Xian of Han waved his hand: "I hate you." He took out a letter from his arms: "Your Majesty, look at this to calm down, Yilang Zhao Yan's secret performance." Han Xiandi was still angry: "What is the secret performance?" Huang Fu said: "It is said to be the secret performance of Cao Cao." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked at Huang Fu, took the letter from him, opened it and browsed it hastily.Looking at it, his face relaxed a little: "Hmph, someone in Cao's mansion is related to a major murder case in Xudu. Zhao Yanzheng is continuing to investigate closely, and it has been confirmed that he will publicly impeach the person surnamed Cao." Han Xiandi looked at the secret memorial again : "This matter is really 90% of the time. What about impartial law enforcement, Duke Zhou spit it out, let's see how this surnamed Cao will deal with it." At this time, Huang Fu joined in and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about field hunting. This year's field hunting is different from previous years." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave Huang Fu a blank look: "What's the difference?" Huang Fu said: "In the past, Cao Cao was hugged by the front and back, and the emperor was accompanied by only one Taiwei Yang Biao. This year, the emperor recognized Uncle Liu Huang. He has three brothers, Guan Zhang and Liu Guan. Every hero, the emperor let the emperor's uncle escort him, and he will be more popular." Han Xiandi finally nodded: "That's the truth." Huang Fu continued: "The most important slave hasn't said anything yet." Han Xiandi Take a look at Huang Fu.Huang Fu waved at the maids and said, "Back off." Seeing them retreat, Huang Fu approached Han Xiandi and said in a low voice, "This time the field hunting can't keep the surname Cao's life." Han Xiandi paid attention and stared at Huang Fu .Huang Fu said: "Yang Diao said that he has 'plans in mind', and I saw murderous intent on his face when he said this." Han Xiandi paid more attention: "Oh?...you went out of the palace to engage in these ghost tricks "Huang Fu said: "This is a business for the emperor. I just want to relieve the emperor by being a lady or not. It seems that Liu Huangshu, Yang Biao Taiwei, etc. have the opportunity to do it. The emperor Look, Cao Cao is coercing the emperor to engage in field hunting, maybe he will look good to him." Han Xiandi's expression softened.He got up and paced around again, stopped and said: "Heaven has its own justice." Paused and said: "I don't think that Furong girl is harming my heart." Huang Fucha looked at Emperor Han Xian's face and said carefully: "Just as What the emperor said, she never thought that she would have the opportunity to enter the palace. Last time the emperor rewarded her mother and daughter with dozens of pieces of brocade, she was very grateful." Han Xiandi took another two steps, stopped and said: "I will let her go again. Ma, you send someone to test her." Huang Fu said: "What is the test?" Emperor Han Xian waved his sleeves a little annoyed: "You don't know what to test her? Can I use her to test her?" Huang Fu He suddenly understood: "I know this, so I'll get someone to test her right away. If she's still a virgin, then..." He looked at Han Xiandi.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said: "Let her go to bed tonight. Be sure to cleanse herself before she goes to bed at night, and check repeatedly." Huang Fu said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the old rules, bathe in fragrant soup, naked, wrapped in a brocade quilt, and carried on a pan. There is absolutely no possibility of entrainment on the way to the emperor's bedroom." After a pause, he asked carefully: "Where will I send her after going to bed tonight?" Han Xiandi said: "Go back to the cold palace and be confined, no longer favored. A Dong Zhuo's Grandniece, no matter how magnanimous I am, I dare let her lie beside me for a long time?" Huang Fu said: "The emperor is wise." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sat down again, leaned back, stretched his legs and squinted his eyes and said: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good. Do you know what the word '逑' means?" Huang Fu came up and beat his legs, and said: "Follow the emperor Xun also came out, and '逑' means spouse." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sighed: "Two are rare in the world, Jiangshan is rare, and good Qi is rare." He stopped and opened his eyes and asked: "The white peony root has arrived in Cao's mansion. Have you heard anything?" Huang Fu said cautiously: "I heard that Cao Cao appointed her as the head of the Prime Minister's Palace." Han Xiandi snorted: "Is she really serving day and night?... I'm a little curious, I don't know what she looks like "Huang Fu said: "The emperor may not be able to see her again, and the surnamed Cao didn't keep her in Cao's mansion? Besides, how can the emperor have time to see her, but if she really can see the emperor, she will regret it." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Ask: "What does she regret?" Huang Fu said: "Seeing the emperor's demeanor, don't you regret not entering the palace?" Huang Fu was afraid that this remark would provoke Han Xiandi again, so he quickly changed the subject: "Does the emperor still shoot arrows? Shoot again Shoot Cao Heixiong to relieve the boredom." Emperor Xian of Han leaned up and yawned: "Cao Heixiong will not shoot anymore, save your energy and shoot Dong Zhuo's young deer tonight."
