Changle Floating Life

Gu Su and Shen Wei walked out of Meiwu after the secret talk, and saw the half-maru Lengyue hanging in the air, Xiaolanshan had long since disappeared, but Ye Jianqing was still waiting in the corridor.He slightly apologized and said: "I didn't have time to say just now, are you planning to go back to Prince Duan's mansion? Someone should have sent you back long ago. It's already a curfew." Empress Minhui's Zi Palace ordered the whole city as usual before entering the mausoleum. Curfew.

Ye Jianqing, on the other hand, seemed neither anxious nor worried.Gu Su shouted: "Come here." Mingzhu appeared out of nowhere, lowered her head and said, "Does the leader have any orders?" Gu Su said, "Take Mr. Ye to rest." Could it be: "The owner of the pavilion only asked us to tidy up two bedrooms in Meiwu, and the girl from Lanshan has already taken in one of them just now."

Gu Su frowned, and was too lazy to trouble Shen Wei for such a trivial matter, so he waved to Ye Jianqing, "Come with me." A small courtyard behind the dock.Under the moonlight, I can vaguely see a thatched hut, with the main room in the middle, a wing room on the west, and a shabby building on the east as a kitchen, similar to the small thatched hut in Nanshan, Zhongzhou that day.

Mingzhu led the way so far and retreated.When Gu Su walked into the courtyard, he heard the sound of Xiaolanshan grinding his teeth from the west chamber, and he didn't know what expression he should have on his face.Ye Jianqing followed him into the middle hall, only to realize that there was only one bed in the room, so she hurriedly retreated to the threshold and said, "Master, I'll sleep in the kitchen."

Gu Su ignored him and walked around the room.It turned out that the house was just pasted with yellow mud on the outside, and covered with thatch on the top, making it the shape of a thatched cottage.The inside is made of nanmu, with water-polished floor tiles, beautiful Shu brocades, rich and rich and local tyrants are in a mess.He tore off the curtain in the room casually, grabbed one end and waved it in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the curtain became a stick rope.Gu Su looked around, and with a flick of his sleeve, the cloth rope was fastened between the two girders. The rope was about half a person's height above the ground.He said to Ye Jianqing who was outside the door: "Go to bed." After speaking, he tiptoed and turned onto the rope bed, with his hands behind his head.

Ye Jianqing opened his mouth wide and was speechless.

Gu Su waited for a while, turned over and said impatiently: "Go to sleep, close the door." He turned over on the narrow rope bed and moved flexibly and gracefully, without any sense of crampedness.

Ye Jianqing hastily closed the door and window, walked to Gu Su's rope bed, feeling very curious.Gu Su opened his eyes and said, "It's not difficult. Use your head, shoulders, and hips as fulcrums. As long as you have any three points of support on your body, you won't fall." He saw that Ye Jianqing had been listless for half a day. Showing a little childish curiosity, he couldn't help but say a few more words.

Although Ye Jianqing felt strange, he didn't dare to stare at Gu Su, so he walked towards the bed.I saw that the bed was covered with a brocade mattress embroidered with red plum blossoms, the curtains were filled with a faint fragrance, and even the pillow tassels were decorated with jade stones.He thought that this was prepared by Shen Wei for Gu Su, and he felt uncomfortable.

Gu Su waited for him to linger on the bed, flicked his finger, the candle on the table flickered a few times, and then went out.The half-room moonlight came in from the slightly open window, making the ground clear and cold.Ye Jianqing tossed and turned on the bed unable to fall asleep, couldn't help shouting in Gu Su's direction: "Master?" After a while, Gu Su replied slowly: "What's the matter?"

Ye Jianqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said softly: "Accompany Qing Jun with the chess, and thank you for the sword. Have you heard these two poems, uncle?" Gu Su was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Where did you see that? What?" Ye Jianqing couldn't say it was in a dream, but only said that he had seen it in the palace, and described the appearance of the calligraphy and painting in detail.Gu Su said: "I once said that during the reign of Master Pei Qingzhaoren, he was granted the title of Marquis of Changle, and Master Xie was also the official prime minister. Later, because he was convicted of crimes against Emperor Taizong, Master was deposed as a commoner. Jianghu The heroes in the world are grateful for his kindness, so they respectfully call him Qingjun. The calligraphy and painting have been around for 30 years, at least."

Ye Jianqing let out a "huh", and suddenly asked: "Master, which one is the strongest seller of medicine in the capital?" Gu Su asked, "What's wrong with you?" Ye Jianqing hurriedly said: "It's okay. It's okay, I think of some medicines in "Pharmacopia", can you make Plum Blossom Tongue Pill and Zijin Tablet?" Gu Su only felt that he was chattering today, but he also answered every question: "These two medicines are detoxification It is a sacred product, and the ingredients are also very expensive. The two medicines from Baoantang in the capital are the best sellers, and Baoantang can be regarded as a century-old store."

Ye Jianqing thought, what I'm looking for is a century-old shop.After asking these questions, he didn't say a word, and soon fell asleep.Gu Su was a little upset by his disturbance.Thinking of the conversation with Shen Wei today, and thinking that if one day, Pei Zhaoye knows that Queen Minhui died at the hands of Princess Zhen Guo, it is unknown whether he will vindicate Pei Yongzhen's case.He looked towards Ye Jianqing's direction on the rope bed, with pity in his eyes, he could almost conclude that even if King Duan ascended to the throne, the case of Princess Zhenguo's mansion would still be a closed page, and there would never be a day of justice up.

When Ye Jianqing woke up the next day, Gu Su was no longer in the room.The rope bed between the girders was empty, and he touched the cloth rope with his hands, as if it was still warm.He remembered that in the past in Nanshan, there was only one straw mat, and Gu Su let him sleep, and he sat on the bench to sleep, if it was Pei Zhaoye, he would definitely bully him into bed.

He made nondescript comparisons, and he himself felt hot on his face.Lan Shan came in with a water basin, looked at him and said with a smile: "What are you doing standing there? Don't you want to sleep on a rope like the leader?" Ye Jianqing blushed and asked her: "Uncle Shi really wants to live here ?” Shen Wei is a man with a thick face and a deep heart, dangerous as a ravine, he chooses his words and observes his deeds, fearful of others.What's more, he seems to have other dirty thoughts about Gu Su.

Lan Shan tilted his head and said: "You hate Shen Wei, and I hate him too. How about I look after the leader for you? I will not let Pavilion Master Shen take advantage of it."

"You..." Ye Jianqing told her to disturb her so much that she fled Suxin Pavilion after washing up.

The Baoan Tang that Gu Su mentioned last night was in Yaoshi Alley, he asked all the way there, and he saw a really big facade.During the national mourning period, all taverns, hotels, gambling houses, and sensual places were closed. Only a few businesses such as drugstores were related to people's livelihood and were not banned.Also because there are few customers, the older manager has time to chat with him.Ye Jianqing bought a lot of Plum Blossom Tongue Pills on the excuse that his master got angry and had sores on his mouth, and said: "People all over the capital say that there is no medicine more effective than yours. When my master gets angry, I will give it to you." Send me a big plaque for rejuvenation." It is said that Gu Su knew that he dared to slap the curser like this, so he might give him a slap first.

The steward saw that he was good-looking and sweet, and he was generous in buying medicine, so he started talking.Ye Jianqing chatted with him for a while, and suddenly asked: "The medicine of Guibao is so effective, it must be indispensable on the annual tribute list." Interrupted and asked: "I heard that the late emperor had a headache and couldn't do without Guibao's Plum Blossom Tongue Pill. Could it be that it was already famous in the capital 30 years ago?" , I dare not covet the sky for my own. Our shop has only been selling this medicine for more than ten years. The medicine used in the palace in the past is not from our shop." "Where is that?" Ye Jianqing asked intentionally.

The steward looked around and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he called Ye Jianqing over and said, "Secretly, my master's prescription came from the palace. In the past, all the medicines in the palace were from the palace people. I made it myself." Ye Jianqing raised the porcelain bottle in his hand, and looked at it carefully: "No wonder there are four words of palace secret recipe written on it. Sincerely, I'm not lying! I didn't expect the imperial physician in the palace to be so amazing!" The steward curled his lips Said: "No. The first queen is a medical expert. I heard that the medicine in the palace was prepared by herself and the people around her. The two young daughters of the former Zhao University scholar worked as doctors next to the first queen before they got married. Female." "Which University student Zhao?" Ye Jianqing asked.

"It's the Zhao family in Tianshui Hutong. The ancestor was the iron-faced imperial envoy during Zhaoren's reign."

Seven days after the death of Queen Daxing Minhui, Zi Palace was temporarily moved to the Funeral Palace in the south of the city because the mausoleum was not yet completed and the journey was far away.Martial law is enforced throughout the city, with the grand masters leading the way and the civil and military officials following.When the ministers saw that it was not the prince himself but the king who was carrying the coffin, and no one from the East Palace was seen in the guard of honor, their uncontrollable horror flowed silently in the funeral procession, making the sky of the entire capital freeze. dim.

The royal road passed by the spiritual frame is paved with loess, and there is a guard post every ten steps, and all pavements along the street are closed.In a teahouse near the south gate, Gu Suzheng and Li Sihai were playing chess.Arashiyama stood in front of the window, opened the window, and peeped outside.Her eyes moved slowly, and she was enjoying watching, when she suddenly closed the window and squatted down with her head in her arms, startling the two who were playing chess.Li Sihai frowned and wanted to scold her, she was still in shock and pointed out the window: "That man just glanced at me."

It is at least a hundred steps away from the street, and there are many houses blocking it. Who can spot people peeping through the window?

Gu Su walked to the window, opened a window generously, and looked forward.There were crowds of people on the street not far away, and one of the funeral procession that had passed was riding a black horse, with a very familiar figure. "It's Gu Tingrang." He closed the window and said calmly.

Just as Li Sihai was about to speak, there were footsteps outside the door of the wing room, Lan Shan went to open the door, and a few members of the Beggar Gang came in, with the leader of the Gang Shi leading the way.After exchanging pleasantries, the elder Shi said, "There is an informant in the palace, and there are many useful clues. Master Gu," he turned to Gu Su and said, "I heard that you have already fought against each other. What do you think of Gu Tingrang?" Gu Su was stunned for a moment, knowing that his question must have a deep meaning, so he nodded and said: "The martial arts that Mrs. Gu learned are the direct inheritance of my Xueshan School." Old Clan Master Shi sighed, and said: "I didn't ask this. You Both Li and Shopkeeper Li are too young."

Gu Su and Li Sihai looked at each other, both of them were puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.Lan Shan went over and tugged at his beard and said, "Grandpa Shi, don't be a fool."

Master Shi grabbed his beard and said: "I had the honor to meet Changlehou at the Yujian Villa in Zhongzhou decades ago. Neither of you has seen Qingjun's face. An elderly informant in the palace said , Gu Tingrang looks quite similar to Qing Jun back then."

Gu Su's face froze, Li Sihai and Xiao Lanshan didn't dare to express their anger.The room was so quiet that the sound of incense ash falling could be heard.After a long while, Gu Su nodded and said, "It means that he is Xie Shi's apprentice in all likelihood, indeed my apprentice. It's just that my parents never mentioned this when they brought back Xie Fu's ashes. They traveled all over the world more than ten years ago, and there is no way to prove it now."

Master Shi stroked his beard, and said: "Gu Jiaozhu lived in Xianshan for a long time, and his footprints are not fixed. I don't know that Gu Tingrang has gone to Luofu Mountain three times in the past 20 years, and even went to Yujian Villa. I am afraid that Huiliu Villa in the south of the Yangtze River is also there. Been there." Li Sihai interjected, "Why did he go to Yujian Mountain Villa?" Master Shi said: "I heard that he claimed to be a disciple of the Snow Mountain School, and asked Master Su about Luofu Mountain. Master Su is also young Gao, if there is a disagreement, you will accuse him of being a liar and kick him out of the mountain gate." When he said this, he suddenly clasped his fists and said, "Gu Jiaozhu, if he is really Taifu Xie's apprentice, please take care of the two former masters. For the sake of it, it is better to abandon the views of sects and sit down and talk."

It seems to be persuasion and it seems to draw a clear line.Speaking of this, his meaning is also very obvious, that is, the beggar gang does not want to meddle in the internal affairs of his sect.

Gu Su saw off Mr. Shi and his group, and sat down with a very ugly face.The last sentence of Master Shi’s last sentence was very meaningful: “The master’s magical skills have been achieved. It’s easy to get the Taoism, but it’s hard to keep it.” Li Sihai poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and asked: “Amei, how about I go for you? Looking for Gu Tingrang to find out the truth?" Gu Su shook his head and said, "No need. If he wants to say it, he said it last time. Let it take its course."

After the Queen's Zigong stopped in the southern suburbs, another major event was put on the agenda again.It is the suburban sacrifice ceremony at the end of the year.The so-called major events of the country are sacrifices and soldiers.At the beginning of the founding of the country, the ancient rituals were followed, and the rule was that one parent should be married at the age of three.This year coincides with the Great Ritual Year in three years, and it stands to reason that the emperor should go out of the palace and go to the Circular Mound to hold a ceremony to worship heaven.It's just that Empress Minhui's new funeral, Pei Zhan would not be in the mood to go out of the palace. Once the big gift is made, it will cost trillions, and the treasury can't make ends meet.The emperor called officials from the Ministry of Rites and asked, "Is there a story, and I can't replace it with other rites."

After looking through the classics, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites dejectedly said: "Since the establishment of the Taizu Dynasty, there has been no precedent for canceling the suburbs. Even in the Zhaoren Dynasty, when there was chaos in Shu, Emperor Taizong personally went to the Circular Hill to worship heaven. From last winter to this autumn, the farming seasons are inconsistent, the grains are not harvested, and there are voices of pro-suburbs from both the government and the public."

Pei Zhan was helpless after hearing this.What is meant by "looking up to the Constitution and looking down at the public opinion, although it is said to abide by the Constitution, the real meaning is not easy", that is what it means.He flicked his fingers and said: "The law of the former king cannot be abolished. Then go and prepare quickly, the winter solstice is only a few months away." Zheng Wenhe, the Minister of Rites, sang a promise, and asked a lot of questions before leaving: " The final offering of Naya must also be handed over to the prince."

"Come back!" Pei Zhan's heart moved, and he shouted loudly, which made Zheng Wenhe kneel down again in fright.The emperor's complexion was cloudy and uncertain, his thin fingers kept shaking on the table, and it took a long time before he said: "The prince has rarely violated peace recently, please leave this matter to King Duan, and you are responsible for assisting King Duan."

The next day, when Prince Duan came to the government office to ask about the gift, Zheng Wenhe had to offer a lot of flattery.Seeing that the emperor's age is high, and the six books of history are either close to the prince or the kings, he is the only one who has no backing, so he has a wrong mind at this time.

When it comes to sacrificial ritual vessels, the emperor's dharma, and Dacheng musical instruments, Zheng Wenhe suddenly sighed: "The former emperor once said that the sacred instrument is the most important, and the load should not be used as a talent." Just pretend not to hear.Unexpectedly, he said again: "The prince escorted the former empress Zigong last time, and this time he personally worshiped in the southern suburbs. He has made great contributions. After the ceremony, His Majesty will definitely reward you."

Pei Zhaoye originally came to the Ministry of Rites to learn the process of the suburban sacrificial offerings. Hearing his words, the wind was getting worse and worse. He put down the classics in his hand in surprise, and said solemnly: "Master Zheng's words are wrong. Please be filial and welcome. Don’t dare to make great achievements for great rewards.”

Zheng Wenhe gave up with embarrassment on his face.

In the evening Zuo Fengmian, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, came back from the government office and saw a purple horse tied to a tree outside his house.He stood by the door in a daze, almost unable to believe his eyes.After Empress Daxing's funeral, he had no chance to see Pei Zhaoye again for more than a month, and their communication was limited to a distant glance at the court meeting and official documents on the surface.

Sure enough, Pei Zhaoye had been waiting in the study for a long time, and took the main seat.When he saw Zuo Fengmian coming in, he slapped the book in his hand on the case, and asked casually, "After the amnesty, are there still so many things going on in the temple?"

Zuo Fengmian answered yes with his hands down.In fact, since the case of Princess Zhenguo's mansion, there were not many affairs in Dali Temple, and it was finished after a brief look in the morning, but he didn't want to go home early and just sit idle in the courtyard.After Pei Zhaoye asked, he stopped talking.Zuo Fengmian couldn't help but asked: "Your Highness is here to spread rumors in the court?" Pei Zhaoye said with a low face, "Rumors stop with wise men. Don't talk about this matter again."

There was silence between the two for a long time, Pei Zhaoye restarted the conversation, and suddenly asked: "Why did you do that?" Zuo Fengmian was taken aback for a moment before he realized, he looked up at Pei Zhaoye, and said quietly: "Your Highness, are you happy that day? ?”

Am I happy?Pei Zhaoye asked himself in his heart, nodded and said, "It's really a bit rebellious to say that. But on the night my mother passed away, I was very happy to have him with me."

Zuo Fengmian's heart was really full of jealousy, so he could only suppress his emotions and said softly: "Your Highness, if you like someone, you want to make him happy."

Pei Zhaoye smiled bitterly and said, "Feng Mian, I don't want you to intervene in my affairs with him. As I said, I hope you will do things kindly and leave some leeway. Don't touch your hands with these ghost tricks. Now I only regret that when you came to my house, Why didn't I refuse..." Zuo Fengmian felt heartbroken when he heard the end, as if his soul had been taken away, he knelt down at Pei Zhaoye's feet.Pei Zhaoye hurriedly stood up to help him, only to feel that he was trembling violently, and Zuo Fengmian yelled three times in a row before Zuo Fengmian came back to his senses, forced a smile and said, "Recently, I've been busy with general affairs, and I've been out of shape for a while, His Highness has lost his dignity in front of you." Pei Zhaoye He also felt that what he just said was too serious, and he felt a bit turned against others, so he comforted him and said: "I said something wrong. You should have a good rest. I just want to see what you are doing today."

Zuo Fengmian was still trembling when he helped him to the seat.Pei Zhaoye served the tea himself, and after he drank a few sips, he sighed and said, "Feng Mian, the only people I really trust are you and Steward Zhou. Take care of yourself, and don't act rashly before the Nanjiao funeral." He urged again and again, Only then did he leave.

After Pei Zhaoye left, the old servant came to the study to clean up the teacups.I saw that the master was shivering into a ball with the cold in his thin coat, but two clusters of angry flames shot out from his eyes, like the karmic fire of hell, trying to burn everything in this world.

The winter solstice in November is the most important festival among the people. Even the poor can change new clothes, prepare food and drink, and enjoy offering sacrifices to their ancestors.Three days before the winter solstice, Yujia stayed in the Daqing Hall.Zaizhi's Duan Wang Pei Zhaoye obeyed the law and guarded the guard of honor.It is night hall gate and imperial street, the far and near imperial guards are fully equipped with cavalry, and tens of thousands surround the inside.More than ten soldiers formed a team and stood together. Anyone who had seen someone would ask "Yes or No", answer "Yes", and then ask "Who is it?"At five o'clock the next day, Pan Gun, the lead cavalry, rode thousands of horses out of Xuandemen to visit the Taimiao of Jingling Palace, and stayed overnight in the Taimiao.
