Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

Beyond the border, it was snowing heavily. Thanks to the capable guide, it was easy to get in touch with Hu Hanxie.However, the two armies faced each other and guarded each other. After special arrangements by both sides, they could meet in Huhanxie's tent three days later. "Master Kuang, hard work! Hard work! Please sit down." Kuang Heng was so cold that his hands and feet were all stiff, and he couldn't speak.After a few cups of hot wine, it gradually warmed up.Lead to the fire and sit down, recovering a little before speaking. "Shan Yu's spirit is still so good."

"TOEFL! TOEFL!" Hu Hanxie said apologetically, "This kind of weather will tire you out." "Aren't you here to persuade me to make peace? Shan Yu," Kuang Heng reprimanded half-truthfully, "Son-in-law hit Yue's house, it's not justified!" "You can't blame me, I know, it's all Shi Zhongshu's tricks. I told him again and again that you can't be fake again, who knows that he is addicted to playing fake games. This is too deceptive." "Shan Yu, don't believe in rumors. Chang'an is so far away, if a word is passed around, the truth will be distorted long ago."

"You're saying that I'm credulous. Then, let me ask you, is there such a thing as Wang Zhaojun's concubine Ming?" "Is that right, Shan Yu, you only know one thing, not the other. Concubine Ming is Consort Ming, and Wang Zhaojun is Wang Zhaojun! Moreover, the title of Concubine Ming is revoked." As soon as this remark came out, not only Hu Hanxie, but also Hu Litu who was sitting on the side, and Mao Yanshou who was hiding behind the scenes, all asked in unison: "Why?" But the two asked in their hearts, and only Hu Hanxie spoke. "Why?" Kuang Heng said with a bit of aggrieved expression, "Don't you want to show your sincerity? I'm afraid you Shanyu might misunderstand."

This time Hu Hanxie couldn't help but ponder. "Chan Yu," Kuang Heng seized the opportunity, and then said, "I want to be fair. At that time, I was also responsible for self-defeating, but now, Shan Yu insisted that you must have Wang Zhaojun, which is a little too much. A little. In this weather, the horse's hoof is stuck in the snow and cannot be pulled out for a long time. Do you think it is fun to fight?" "You forced me to do this!" "Who forced Shanyu to come, killing people is nothing more than a nod. Shanyu, aren't you very generous? Think about it, how the Han family treats you, you can't always think about bad things, and don't think about good things."

"For the reconciliation of the two countries, I proposed to the Han family. You shouldn't play me!" "Which one is playing Shan Yu? You can only accommodate everything. It's like treating a spoiled guest." "What?" Hu Hanxie asked Hu Litu: "What kind of guest is Kuang Shaofu talking about?" "Jiao Ke." Hu Litu explained to him: "The new son-in-law is a very delicate guest, so he is called Jiao Ke." "You think," Kuang Heng continued in his own words: "Hu Hanxie lost his temper because of Mao Yanshou, and immediately sent Mao Yanshou to you; because he misunderstood the Ming concubine, he immediately revoked the seal. Such a grievance is only for the thought of Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang made great contributions back then. They were hard-earned and should be cherished. Shan Yu, you should take a long view. Considering the vastness of China and the multitude of talents, choose ten or eight beauties who are more beautiful than Wang Zhaojun , sending him to serve you, Shan Yu, is also a common thing."

Hu Litu was moved by these words, so he stepped forward to persuade him.But as soon as he shouted: "Shan Yu!" Hu Hanxie interrupted him. "Stop talking!" He turned to Kuang Heng and said, "Young Master Kuang, it's late today, and you've worked hard. Please take a break first, and let's talk later after drinking." "Okay, okay!" Kuang Heng felt a little confident, and said happily: "I'll bother Shan Yu later, let me get drunk." So Hu Litu led the way and took Kuangheng to another tent first.I have to say something more sincere.Of course, Hu Hanxie also had to think about it, thinking that Kuang Heng came here to seek peace, first of all he gave face.Thinking that all the concessions he said were true, most of his anger dissipated.

At this moment, when he turned around, he saw a figure.This is the most taboo thing for Hu Di.Hastily pulled out the dagger and put on guard first.I only heard the visitor say hurriedly: "Shanzi, Shanyu, it's me!" "So it's you! Old Mao," Hu Hanxie put away the dagger, "Scared me." "Not to mention Shan Yu, you acted like I was an assassin, you drew your sword and fired your guns, it scared me a lot!" "That's your own fault. How many times have I said, you must speak up before you get paid. You always look sneaky." "It's not that I'm sneaky, and I can't let Kuang Heng hear my voice. Shan Yu," Mao Yanshou said with a half-smile, "Congratulations, you are old and can be the son-in-law of the Han family again."

"Yes!" Hu Hanxie scratched his scalp, "It seems a bit insulting for the son-in-law to beat the old mother-in-law." "Hmph!" Mao Yanshou sneered: "Shanyu, I'm not afraid of your anger. You also see him as too useless! With the Han Dynasty, can you call Han Xie Shanyu to bully you? No bullying You call Han Xie Shanyu, already very good." These words are vicious provocations.Hu Hanxie's expression changed.However, due to Hu Litu's persuasion often earnestly, he has gradually learned to be patient.So his face finally returned to calm again.

If one plan fails, a plan is born.Mao Yanshou deliberately asked: "Shan Yu, you mean the Queen Mother is your old mother-in-law?" "That's right! I'd better marry Princess Ninghu and just be a relative." "Chan Yu," Mao Yanshou asked again, "Is the fake better than the real one?" Hu Hanxie couldn't understand what he meant for a moment, and asked with a blink of an eye, "How can a fake one be better than the real one?" "Since that's the case, they left Zhen Zhaojun waiting for you to marry, why don't you want it?"

Hu Hanxie became more and more puzzled, "Kuang Heng didn't say that!" He said, "Zhaojun is Zhaojun, Mingfei is Mingfei. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not." "Hmph!" Mao Yanshou sneered, "How could Shan Yu believe Kuang Heng's words to lie to a three-year-old child?" This is tantamount to stinging him childish.Hu Hanxie was annoyed, and said with a downcast face, "Old Mao, you are so unreasonable! I am only a three-year-old child, don't you?" "yes." "What?" Hu Hanxie was furious.Swept over with a palm.

With that palm sweeping, half of Mao Yanshou's face would become swollen.And he dared to stroke this beard, so he was naturally prepared, he dodged, took two steps away and said calmly: "Shan Yu, listen to my reasoning. If it's not right, it's not too late for you to beat me up." "Hmph! I won't beat you either. If you are unreasonable, I will ask Kuang Heng to take you back." "Okay! The truth of what I said, if Shan Yu doesn't listen to it, he won't be able to get along with each other. Why don't you go?" Mao Yanshou said: "Shan Yu, let me ask you a word first. Since Ming Concubine is Ming Concubine, Zhao Jun It's Zhaojun, why should Concubine Ming revoke her title?" "Did you not listen to what Kuang Heng said, because you were afraid that I would misunderstand you?" "This is weird! If it has nothing to do with Zhaojun, what did Shanyu misunderstand? If it were me, I would definitely answer like this: Concubine Ming is not Zhaojun, and Zhaojun lives in Shanglin Garden to be married. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself. As for Concubine Ming, her surname is Who is the name, who is the family, and there is a canonized imperial edict as proof. Why do you want to blaspheme? Shan Yu, at that time, I am not afraid that he will not obediently admit his mistake!" Hu Hanxie remained silent.After much deliberation, he couldn't refute what he said, and he was afraid that there was something strange in his heart. "Chan Yu, let me tell you their intentions. Concubine Ming is Zhaojun, and the temporary revocation of her title depends on your attitude. If you settle things down, forget it so-so. They were happy to send the fake Zhaojun here, but the real Zhaojun was still a concubine.If Shan Yu had been ruthless, things would have been completely different. " "How is it different?" "Chan Yu, think about Kuang Heng's words! You lost your temper and sent me back to you. Lost your temper again and revoked the title of Concubine Ming. Shan Yu, Shan Yu, yours! Temper really works." "It turns out that losing your temper has such great benefits!" Hu Hanxie broke out, "I think it's too much!" "It's not too much at all," Mao Yanshou said vigorously: "Onlookers know, nothing can be hidden from my old Mao. Shan Yu, you should lose your temper again. Once you lose your temper, the most beautiful woman in the world will be guaranteed to fall into your arms." .” Hu Hanxie pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Okay," he said, "I'll throw him a big temper again!" It was snowing heavily outside the cowhide tent, and it was as warm as spring inside. Kuang Heng was still a little restrained at first, because Mrs. Hu used to drink and laughed before saying anything.Moreover, he was persuaded to "do not follow the rules" and skin-to-skin contact is not a big deal. In the eyes of Kuang Heng, who is very polite, this is a very embarrassing thing. But after a few cups of freshly brewed highland barley wine and fat roasted mutton replenished his energy, his state of mind was different, and he remembered the different realms of what Chunyu Kun said, "I get drunk even with a fight, and I get drunk with a stone".Spontaneously there was a desire to let loose, and at the same time because of the blazing fire, his body was hot and uncomfortable, so he simply took off his long clothes and changed into short clothes with a beard, embraced the bearded wife, and happily drank. It's a pity that there is a language barrier, which will spoil the scenery.All the people in the table could talk to were Hu Hanxie and Hu Litu, so he thought of someone, "Where's Mao Yanshou?" he asked. "Mao Yanshou is not acclimatized to the climate and is also afraid of the cold." Hu Hanxie said, "I sent him to a warmer place to recuperate." "Oh!" Kuang Heng took the opportunity to say: "Since he is not acclimatized, why don't I take him back." "Even if it doesn't work," Hu Hanxie said, "It takes several days to travel to where he lives, and I'm afraid he won't be able to make it. Young Master Kuang's residence, when do you plan to go back?" "As long as Shanyu Xiebing reconciles, I can leave at any time." "It's easy to reconcile with the soldiers," Hu Hanxie said, "I won't do anything for the time being, until they bring Princess Ninghu here." "Of course, of course!" Kuang Heng immediately said, "As soon as I go back, I will hear about the emperor, choose an auspicious time to set off, and bring Princess Ninghu along with a very rich dowry. Maybe, I have to go again. " "Hard work, hard work! I am grateful. However, Young Master Kuang, do you know the name of Princess Ninghu?" At this point, Hu Hanxie's face changed, "I'm sorry to bother you to report to the queen mother, and tell Zhen Zhaojun If you send them here to get married, everything will be over. Otherwise, hum! Humph!" This time, all Kuang Heng's joyful thoughts about wine were wiped away.Pushing away the woman who was accompanying the drinker, she pressed her hands on her knees and asked seriously, "Shan Yu, why did you make such threatening words?" "It's not a threat. I just value credit and want justice." Kuang Heng remained silent for the time being.Because the anger in my heart is hard to calm down, I am afraid that my words will break and I can't turn around.After resting for a while, he began to speak, but there was still resentment in his words. "Shan Yu, I don't understand why you insist on Zhaojun! Zhaojun is dead, so you don't want another woman?" "I want to die!" Hu Hanxie blurted out: "Since Zhaojun has promised me to marry him, he will be buried here when he dies." Saying such a thing, say everything you want, and there is no room for negotiation.Kuang Heng laughed angrily, "Okay, okay, Hu Hanxie Shanyu," he said as he picked up the wine, "Today you welcome the wind for me, but it's also a farewell party. Thank you very much, ha, ha!" Amidst the loud laughter, Kuang Heng drank up the wine, got up and walked out of the tent. The sound of the flute whimpered, the pale moon melted, and the maids around Zhaojun all felt in a trance that night, unable to tell whether it was spring or autumn. "Stop blowing it!" Yiqiu whispered to himself, as if praying: "Blowing makes people's heart sour." But the sound of the flute became more and more desolate and intense.Floating with the wind, slowly attracting a red light, following the light is the emperor. "emperor--" "Don't make a sound," the emperor said softly, "Don't worry about me, I'm listening to Xiao." Yiqiu and the female companion who picked him up with him lightly replied: "Yes!" and quietly retreated aside. The emperor signaled Zhou Xiang to cover the light, and stood under the shade of the flowers, until the lingering sound of the hole flute scattered into the faint starry sky, and then he appeared. Thus, Yiqiu rushed to report.Surprised and delighted, Zhaojun came up to greet him, only to hear that the third watch had already started on the Drum Tower. "Why is the emperor here, and it is so late at night?" "I don't want to sleep, I just want to see you. I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing?" "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind thoughts. My body is free from illness and pain." "That's all. I want to come every day." The emperor suddenly sighed: "Oh! Don't mention it!" He didn't mention it, but she also knew that Zhou Xiang and Yiqiu were very good, and always told her something. It is said that although the queen mother accepted the emperor's request and allowed Zhaojun to stay in Jianzhang Palace temporarily, the emperor was restricted from getting Jianzhang Palace. .Like Weixing at this moment, of course it was hidden from the Queen Mother. This is the only way to make Zhaojun feel the deep kindness of the king.But what's the inconvenience?Just said: "It's cold outside, the emperor invites you to sit in the hall." "It's good outside, I love this piece of moonlight. It's just that the sound of the flute is too bleak." "It turns out that the emperor has already arrived!" Zhaojun scolded the left and right: "You didn't come to tell me!" "Don't scold them, I don't allow them to disturb you. Then, I won't be able to listen to your wonderful music." "It's rare to show ugliness." Zhaojun smiled and said, "It just fell into the emperor's ears: it's really dirty and easy to hear." "You have played very well. Unfortunately, this flute is not the best." "It turns out that the emperor is an expert." Immediately after her words, the emperor said: "It should be said that it is a bosom friend." This sentence moved Zhaojun deeply, and it was also the most powerful encouragement.She took the flute that Xiuchun was holding in her hand, took it over and said: "I wish to be a bosom friend, and play another song." "No, no! Both the flute and the flute hurt one's temper, so why not play it again?" The emperor paused and said, "Well, let me try a piece. How about you use the pipa to match it?" So Xiuchun ordered the maids to fetch the pipa and set up seats for the emperor and Zhaojun.The pipa had to be played sitting down, but it was inconvenient to sit on the brocade to play the xiao, so the emperor leaned against a pillar and sat on the railing, looked up at the moon and said, "There is a piece called 'Cloud Breaks the Moon,' you always know." "yes!" "You set the strings!" The emperor blew a "horn" sound, Zhaojun set the strings, waited for the sound of the flute to come together, and then lightly and slowly twirled it, echoing every detail. At the beginning of the melody, the flute was leisurely and free, like a floating cloud flying in space.Suddenly the business voice rose sharply, the syllables were intense, like flying sand and rocks, and the wind was strong.Strange to say, at this moment, a dark cloud covered the moon, and the palace maid who was quietly listening in the corner of the flower bushes felt like crying. Gradually, the sound of the flute and the pipa slowed down and became low, and then unconsciously, it became relaxed and peaceful again.The dark clouds in the sky also moved slowly, and the moonlight gradually revealed, finally clearing up.With a sudden sound, all the strings on the pipa fell silent, leaving behind the long aftertaste of the hole flute. "Extremely clever!" Zhaojun praised sincerely: "Your Majesty is indeed better than Zhaojun." The emperor didn't hear it, his eyes just looked at the sky, and under the moonlight, he found two crystal clear teardrops.Zhaojun was taken aback. "Your Majesty!" she cried out. The emperor was also startled, looking up from Zhaojun's surprised look, he realized that there were still tears on his cheeks. "Oh," the emperor forced a smile, "nothing!" This is an awkward situation.Both Xiuchun and Yiqiu were considerate of human feelings, and they knew that the emperor didn't want everyone to see such a situation.And it's such a good night, it's a good time to whisper about lovesickness, anyone around is annoying.So the two exchanged a look and quietly backed away.The rest of the palace maids marched and retreated together, and walked cleanly in an instant. "Zhaojun really can't understand why the emperor is suddenly sad." "A momentary feeling." The emperor's expression returned to normal: "Are you cold or not, why don't you go back and sit in the palace." While speaking, he stretched out his hand to pinch Zhaojun's arm.The green sleeves are cold and touching.The emperor didn't allow any further explanation, and helped her into the palace. This side hall is titled "Yueqing". When it was built, it was originally designed to be used for viewing the moon. It has a very high platform, large windows and narrow corridors.The two sat leaning against the window, just in time for the eighth moon in the sky, and the silver light from the window just shrouded a pair of beautiful couple leaning on each other. "Your situation is like floating clouds covering the moon. You see, even after the clouds break through the moon, there is still a clear light." It was words of consolation, but Zhaojun understood that they were intentional words of consolation.In fact, the emperor's tears have already explained everything.What he saw and thought of was clouds covering the moon, not clouds breaking through the moon. "Thank you, Your Majesty! Zhaojun only wishes to die quickly!" The emperor was shocked, he held her shoulder, and asked hastily: "Zhaojun, how do you say that?" Zhaojun felt a little regretful, his words were too menglang.But now that it has been exported, there is no need to conceal it. "Zhaojun is an ominous person, his life is suffering, and..." She couldn't continue. "Don't think so!" The emperor waved his hands vigorously: "The emperor is rich all over the world. Could it be that I can't keep a person like you? I don't believe it." Zhaojun didn't make a sound, just sighed leisurely, turned his face away, raised his robe, and secretly wiped away his tears. "Zhaojun," the emperor said earnestly and anxiously, "do you think I'm wrong?" "The emperor's heart, Zhaojun knows. Helpless!" She said with difficulty: "Even the emperor can't control it. The emperor is rich in the world, it is true! But the emperor must not forget a word." "Which sentence?" "Foster from all over the world." This refers to the queen mother-the emperor takes the whole world as a delicacy to support the queen mother.Hearing these words, the emperor felt as if he had been punched in the chest, and was speechless for a long time. Seeing this scene, Zhaojun had to cheer up, pretending to be open-minded, and made a laughing description with great difficulty, as a consolation to the emperor, and the emperor didn't leave until the dawn clock struck.
