[Gulan] Broken Wild Goose Song

50

Pingjing, the capital of the Great Xia Emperor, has stood in the hinterland of the Great Xia for nearly a thousand years, covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of acres.The moat outside the city is [-] meters wide, and the city wall is tall and solid. Overlooking it, there are row upon row of pavilions, roof tiles, carved railings and painted buildings.In the very center of Pingjing is the majestic imperial city, which is one-sixth the size of Pingjing, and the buildings are more magnificent and towering. Compared with the gray tiles and dark red walls of the outer city buildings, the imperial palace is even more Gold bricks and green tiles, red walls and white steps, the momentum is brilliant.

The buildings in Pingjing are made of wood and bricks. The wooden buildings are connected with each other by winding stairs, which are intriguing and exquisite; some of the walls of the brick buildings are decorated with exquisite brick carvings. Go, it turned out to be a vivid story.

The streets are crowded and bustling with people coming and going, and even on the third floor, by the railing of the bed, there are gentle and graceful ladies leaning on them.The women either have heavy makeup, brocade clothes, jade faces and bright wrists, red lips and fair skin; or they are like lotus flowers, unpolished but also unique, with watery eyes looking around at the handsome young man, and then Quietly blushed.

After Mu Su returned to the capital, he brought some tulle bamboo hats, because this was his old place after all, and he knew too many people, so it would be very troublesome if he was knocked down on the street.In order to cooperate with him, Zhu Sha was also afraid of trouble, so she also put on a bamboo hat. After the two entered the city, they quickly met with Yue Changfeng who was greeted at the inconspicuous place of the teahouse.Yue Changfeng took the two of them back to his mansion, and explained to Mu Su that his secret letter had been received by Xie Huan a few days ago, and Xie Huan asked him to rest for a day, and he would go to court to accept the interview in person the next morning. See.

Mu Su put down the tea bowl and said with a smile, "Huan...has His Majesty already governed alone?"

Yue Changfeng sighed and said, "Ever since the former emperor passed away, the Empress Dowager and the Princess have stayed behind closed doors, unwilling to go out, let alone cooperating with the government. Your Majesty can only govern alone with the assistance of many ministers."

Musu sighed: "Really...has he grown so much? Pingjing is now as prosperous as before. Although it is in wartime, the people are not panicked or nervous at wartime. This is his ability manifestation."

Yue Changfeng smiled and said: "Yes, although His Majesty is very young, he is unexpectedly mature. On the first day of the court, he was not frightened by the doubts and pressure from the civil and military officials at all, but shocked the whole court. Now everyone is saying that His Majesty really is better than blue than blue. It's just..."

Mu Su looked at him with a smile and said, "I know what you're worried about. I'm fine. I believe His Majesty's actions are not to embarrass me. He has his own considerations."

"But no matter what, he has already lined up two generals to support the front line. After seeing you this time, he will go to the front line immediately. He is determined to take advantage of the night." Yue Changfeng sighed In a calm tone, he told Musu the information: "Yesterday in the court hall, it was confirmed that He Lou Chengye has returned to Tianyue City."

Mu Su and Feng Hong looked at each other, and there was a trace of undisguised relief in his eyes: "Is that so, I was worried why there was no news about him for so long. It's good that I can go back safely."

Yue Changfeng was taken aback for a moment, and he frowned and said, "Yan Luan, even if He Lou Chengye has returned now, once the war starts, he will definitely die. Even if His Majesty is generous and will spare every life of Lang Yue, it will not be too late. would include him."

Mu Su gently blew on the tea, nodded, and said, "I know." He took a sip of the tea, and said, "Chang Feng, Feng Hong and I are still planning to go back to the inn. I'm afraid it will hurt you if you stay here. ,inappropriate."

Yue Changfeng frowned: "What's the trouble?! You bought my life, even if His Majesty asks me to change it for you now. I don't worry about you being in the inn, even though the late emperor has gone, But there are still too many people in the court who still haven't given up, and your coming to the capital is like entering the Asura Palace!"

"With me here, he's fine." Feng Hong said abruptly, the tea on the table had been cold for a long time, but she still didn't even touch the teacup.

Yue Changfeng was taken aback, and looked at Feng Hong, but Feng Hong closed her eyes instead of looking at him.

Mu Su answered with some embarrassment: "Miss Feng is strong in martial arts, it doesn't matter. And Mu Rong also helped me arrange it. Although it may not be able to resolve it step by step, it is not a problem to retreat completely. What's more, if Your Majesty If you find me here with you, if you have doubts, it will be bad for us."

Seeing that he insisted on this, Yue Changfeng had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, while ordering his servants to prepare meals.Then he suddenly remembered something and said: "Yan Luan... you come back this time, do you want to go and see... the old house?"

Musu's gentle expression suddenly froze, and he asked a little stiffly: "The old house... is still there?"

Yue Changfeng nodded and said, "Yes. Although everything has been cleaned up... there is only a piece of scorched earth left, but it is still there."

"Really..." Musu's eyes flickered for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth curled up a little stiffly, "I'll make a decision after I meet His Majesty."

Yue Changfeng nodded, sighed and said: "After that day, although it was cleaned up, in fact, there was no corpse found in the Mu Mansion the next morning. So I think Mu Rong should be worried. There are many."

Mu Su nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about that." He paused, then looked at Yue Changfeng and said, "Changfeng, this may be the last time I step into Pingjing in this life. You must, help Huaner well , he must be Mingjun.”

Yue Changfeng naturally knew what Mu Su meant. Looking up at the sky without a single cloud above his head, he said with some melancholy: "In the huge Pingjing, our joys and sorrows are as insignificant as dust." He looked back at Mu Su: "Yan Luan, I have never regretted meeting you. Be sure to take care of yourself."

Musu nodded and laughed: "Me too. This may be the best ending."

In the early morning of the third day, a carriage drove along the empty and quiet street towards the majestic imperial city, and finally stopped in front of the carved bluestone road at the entrance.

Mu Su and Feng Hong, who was dressed as a maidservant, got out of the car and looked at the splendid city gate that seemed to have been visited countless times in a dream. Two majestic dragons clinging to the two sides of the gate tower glared at Mu Su, As if questioning his inner loyalty.The golden-armored guards stood neatly on both sides and on the gate tower, unable to see clearly their looks and expressions.At the end of Qingshi Road, the marble city wall continues to extend, passing through four white jade bridges, and the three gate openings of Suzaku Gate are Kowloon Plaza and the resplendent main hall on the 99th floor.There, there is the Emperor Dragon Seat of Great Xia, and the power and glory envied by the whole world.

Musu stepped up and walked inward slowly, the soles of his shoes were grinding against the ground, and his voice was clearly audible.There was no one in front of him, and he felt in a trance as if he was walking this long road that would never end, step by step, and every step he took, he sank deeper.

Musu suddenly remembered that when Xie Yan led him out of the first emperor's birthday banquet, he walked outside the Suzaku gate, looked at the deserted avenue, and suddenly felt sad, and asked Xie Yan: "Why is this road so long?" Deserted? How about putting it at the Suzaku Gate and the gate of the city?”

Xie Yan held his hand and said calmly: "This is to tell everyone who enters the imperial city from outside that there are two worlds between here and the outside. Entering the imperial city, you must first inherit the imperial prestige."

Inherit the imperial prestige first.This is why Musu was most impressed by this road.

There is no need for any bloodshed, gold and jade carvings, and no need for the deterrence of fierce beasts, dragons and phoenixes. It is just such an ordinary road, which embodies the imperial prestige of Great Xia.

The avenue is simple, the big sound is rare, and the elephant is invisible.

In front of Suzaku's gate, from a distance, I saw an eunuch standing in the same place, giving Musu a slight bow: "Master Musu, you are here. Please wait here for a while, before His Majesty summons you to go in."

Musu cupped his hands slightly and saluted, "Eunuch Zhang has broken me. I'm just a grassroots person now, and I can't afford to be called an adult by Eunuch."

Zhang Yuan stood up straight, looked at Musu and sighed, "Master Musu and the Ye family are old acquaintances, and the Ye family is indeed ashamed of Mr. Musu." Zhang Yuan cupped his hands and saluted Musu again. : "It's because the family is incompetent, and failed to persuade the late emperor..."

Mu Su hurriedly waved his hands and smiled, "What's the matter with Eunuch Zhang? How could Mu Su hate Eunuch Zhang for such a reason? Let's not mention the past."

Eunuch Zhang nodded with some melancholy, sighed and said, "When you go in today, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and pay attention to yourself. Although your majesty is young, the old slave really can't see through him, and he really can't help Mu Lord Su."

Mu Su nodded and said, "It's okay, thank you for taking note of my father-in-law."

He turned his head to look at Feng Hong, saw that although the latter had a cold face, but still vaguely worried, he couldn't help but whispered: "Feng Hong, you just wait here for me, I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

"As long as you enter the Suzaku Gate, it will be difficult for me to support you in time." Feng Hong said in a deep voice, "You can take care of yourself." As she spoke, Feng Hong's hand was quietly clenched.

She knew that Mu Su's trip was not only to resolve the past grievances between herself and Xie Yan, but also not only to prove her loyalty to Daxia, and even not just to survive.As a person between Langyue and Daxia, he will do his best to fight for a chance of life for Langyue and Helou through the night.

He used to represent Daxia in negotiations with Lang Yue; now, he wants to represent himself in negotiations with Daxia.

Musu nodded, his gaze was rare to sink, twinkling like stars, an expression he had never seen before.

"This is my battle alone."

"Your Majesty, Musu is outside the hall."

Above the lobby, civil and military officials stood in rows, their heads bowed, not daring to speak.And above the high ranks, sitting on a resplendent dragon chair, was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a dark golden dragon robe, with a curtain hanging in front of him, his face was cold, his brows and eyes were as stable and deep as an adult's.

After Zhang Yuan whispered in Xie Huan's ear, he lowered his head and waited for Xie Huan's order.

Xie Huan's eyes trembled slightly, but his face remained unchanged. He raised his head and said indifferently, "Xuan."

Zhang Yuan nodded, stepped back half a step, and said loudly, "Xuan—Musu!"

The faces of all the civil and military officials in the entire hall at this moment were like those of a dyeing workshop, showing various expressions.They discussed in low voices and turned their heads to stare at the entrance of the main hall.

A figure slowly emerged from behind the white jade stairs.Dressed in green cloth clothes, the gentleness on his face was gone, and more indifferent.Musu passed through the civil and military officials step by step, he couldn't hear what they were talking about, and he never raised his head to look at Xie Huan who was sitting upright.

He just walked up to all the officials, lifted his front swing slightly, knelt down on the ground, and softly said, "Caomin Musu, I greet His Majesty the Emperor."

Xie Huan's hand was holding on to the Dragon Throne, but it was trembling slightly.He looked at the man in front of him who seemed familiar but also seemed strange, knelt down in front of him, and called himself, His Majesty the Emperor word by word.

His eyes blinked, he didn't speak, and didn't make Musu get up.

The entire hall was so silent that it was hard to breathe, and all the princes and ministers did not dare to make a sound, and could only hold their breath and wait for the emperor to speak.

But Mu Su wasn't surprised, he just knelt down and didn't say a word.

Zhang Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only look sideways at Xie Huan.

Xie Huan finally moved.

He stood up, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "Musu, are you convicted?"

The sound was not loud, but it echoed throughout the hall.

Mu Su knelt down on the ground, straightened up slowly, cupped his hands, his eyes were picturesque, and for the first time looked at the majestic Xie Huan standing in front of the dragon chair. For some reason, the words he said were tinged with relief.

"Grassman, not guilty."
