As the most important place of origin of Chinese civilization, the Yellow River not only brings abundant resources to human beings, but also natural disasters that cannot be resisted by human power.
In order to reduce the damage to the common people, every year the imperial court allocates funds to clear the river sediment in advance and release silt to strengthen the embankment.In addition to the fact that the money will be withheld by officials at all levels, the Yellow River, as an ancient place with a profound history, itself has a mysterious color that makes people want to get a glimpse of it. And something incredible happened.
Just like this time, a hundred river cleaners dug out a stone statue with a bird face and a human body weighing ten thousand catties from the river.The stone statue is more than ten feet high, the bird's eyes are not angry and majestic, the beak is pointed and teeth are exposed, and the face is covered with black feathers; the human body holds a sword in his right hand, a book in his left hand, and wears an armored cloak, just like a living thing.
If you are brave enough, clean up the mud and sand, look at it from beginning to end, and find a line of small characters on the scroll in your left hand, writing: The bird is originally in the sky, trapped in the wood, lost its wings and arms, and there is no red in the east.
Rumors spread instantly that the emperor wanted to catch birds and angered the bird god in the sky, so he issued an oracle to remind the emperor not to continue to go against the sky, otherwise the Eastern Dynasty would be destroyed.
The local officials did not dare to conceal the report, and immediately reported the strange things that happened in the Yellow River to the court.
Dongfang Haoyang was furious after receiving the report.He is the emperor of the real dragon, how could he be threatened by a little bird god?He ordered the magistrate to transport the stone statue into the capital, so he wanted to see what kind of monster it was, and wanted to compete with the king of a country for the world.
When the stone statue was transported into the palace, it was after the waking of insects.The stone statues washed by the rain along the way seem to have been carefully polished by a skilled stone carving master, and they are as bright as the best colored glaze.Standing outside the main hall, being irradiated by the sun, it seems that the whole body is exuding divine light, which makes people daunting.
Dongfang Haoyang, who led all the ministers to watch the stone statue, sighed after a long time, and said: "With such craftsmanship, why don't you enter the palace and make a wooden bird for me?"
"Your Majesty, these traitors must be caught!" A minister said angrily.
"That's right, Your Majesty! Disturb the government, scare people, spread rumors, don't let them continue to spread rumors!"
The young emperor squinted at the stone statue in a daze, and when the ministers were talking more and more impassioned, he asked slowly: "Do you all think this is a man-made rumor? Isn't it an oracle from heaven?"
"Your Majesty, if you don't talk about strange powers, how can there be any oracle from heaven!"
"Since ancient times, such rumors have been common, and it is not surprising."
"Besides, the emperor is the real dragon emperor, how can he be led away by folk tricks?"
Dongfang Haoyang looked around at the hundreds of officials talking with each other for a week, and suddenly asked: "Brother-in-law, tell me, what do you think?"
Only Feng Suzhen, who did not participate in the discussion on one side, was named, which attracted the attention of all officials.
Feng Suzhen bowed unhurriedly to the emperor, glanced at the stone statue, and said: "Back to the emperor, I don't have any opinion."
"Oh? I know that your memory has been damaged and has not recovered, but you shouldn't have no opinion on such strange things."
"Since the emperor has said that it is a strange thing, it can be proved that it is harmless, so there is no point in discussing it."
Didn't expect Feng Suzhen to answer like this, Dongfang Haoyang was stunned for a while, then laughed, tears came out of the laughter and said: "Yes, yes, as expected of Ming Guanghou, the words are right...Since everyone knows it's fake , why should I waste time on fake ones."
"Your Majesty, we must find out who is spreading rumors!"
Dongfang Haoyang glanced at the minister who spoke, nodded and said: "The root of chaos in the country, severe punishment will never be forgiven. Liu Changying, you go and investigate."
When Liu Changying saw that this incident happened to him, he couldn't believe it. He looked at Liu Tao in a panic, and Liu Tao nodded calmly. Only then did Liu Changying bite the bullet and accept the order.
"This stone statue is exquisitely crafted and has a lifelike face. I like it when I look at it. Put it in the Imperial Garden. When I have time, I can relieve my fatigue."
"emperor……"
"Okay, it's decided like this, Eunuch Wang, you are responsible for the arrangements." After Dongfang Haoyang finished speaking, he was about to leave.
"Your Majesty!" A high-pitched shout came from behind Dongfang Haoyang.
Dongfang Haoyang turned around, seeing that the person who made the sound was Sun Qingle, he couldn't help asking: "What else is there for Xueshi Sun?"
Sun Qingle was originally standing on the outermost edge, but at this moment, he pushed aside the crowd, walked up to the emperor, and saluted: "Your majesty, the matter of the stone statue is certainly a fake, but it also shows that there are people who oppose the emperor's wooden bird plan, and the emperor should think about it again." It's about catching birds."
"Absurd, when will I, the majestic king of a country, need to act according to the face of others? Oppose my will today, make a stone statue to scare me, oppose my will tomorrow, and make something else, and I will give in every time. The world is better off changing to be the emperor!"
"Your Majesty, there is always something in governing a country, and benefiting the people is the foundation. If you do it in the opposite way, you will inevitably hide disasters!"
"Sun Qingle, you are thinking too much. The Emperor Father built the Immortal Terrace for immortality, and the country was not destroyed. As long as I only have birds, how can I hide the disaster?"
"emperor……"
"No need to say any more. If Xueshi Sun really has nothing to do, let's check the provenance of the stone statue with Liu Shilang." After Dongfang Haoyang finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves.
After all the ministers knelt to send the emperor away, they laughed at each other, and then looked at the stone statue which was much taller than themselves, before they scattered in all directions.
Because Liu Changying was assigned to investigate the stone statue, Liu Tao called Sun Qingle and Liu Changying to return home together. Li Zhaoting saw him and wanted to help, so he left with Liu Tao and his party.
Zhang Shaomin approached Feng Suzhen and asked, "My son-in-law, are you going to find the princess?"
"Yes." Feng Suzhen stopped walking towards the harem and looked at Zhang Shaomin.
Seeing that the colleagues around him had almost left, Zhang Shaomin said, "Brother Feng didn't speak up for Xueshi Sun just now."
Hearing this, Feng Suzhen frowned, and asked with a smile, "Why should I speak for Xueshi Sun?"
"You still said that I..."
"Brother Zhang, do you remember a few days ago when I was assassinated and you came to my residence?"
Not knowing why Feng Suzhen mentioned this matter again, Zhang Shaomin nodded blankly.
"Sun Qingle only comes at night."
"The emperor left him to sort out the books in the palace, so he was late."
Feng Suzhen did not argue, and then asked: "Do you still remember, what is the official position of Mr. Gu who was demoted by the emperor?"
"It seems to be the envoy."
"Brother Zhang must be clear about the responsibilities of the general envoy."
"Pass the internal and external chapters, releases, seals and refutations."
Feng Suzhen smiled, looked at Zhang Shaomin in silence.
"What's the connection between these things?" Zhang Shaomin hadn't figured out what was going on, and looked at Feng Suzhen and hoped that she would explain it to him.
"Brother Zhang, it's not that I don't want to explain in detail, it's that I don't dare to judge rashly now. I'm at the height of the temple, and I'm bound to fall into the quagmire. I didn't speak up for Sun Qingle just now. First, the emperor's decision has been made, and no one can change it. The second is that the overall situation has been decided at this time, and further persuasion is useless; the third is that I have to extract myself from it so that I can see the overall situation; and the fourth... ah, Brother Zhang will know later. "
Zhang Shaomin roughly understood Feng Suzhen's intentions, and was about to ask something, when shouts came from a distance.
"My princess just said why the son-in-law didn't come to pick up my princess today, so I was entangled by you again!" Tianxiang approached with a swing of the sugar cane, saw Zhang Shaomin, and rolled his eyes at him impatiently.
Zhang Shaomin laughed, bowed his hands in apology to Tianxiang, and bid farewell to Feng Suzhen.
"Princess, why did you come out by yourself?" Feng Suzhen asked with a smile.
Tianxiang reached out and took Feng Suzhen's arm naturally, and said while gnawing sugar cane: "I didn't sleep today, I heard that the emperor brought that stone statue into the palace, I want to see it too." The tall stone statues that have not been removed pouted.
Feng Suzhen pulled Tianxiang's hand off her arm, and before Tianxiang protested, she gently held her hand back and said, "Do you still want to see?"
"Don't watch it, I want to go back home." Tianxiang was held by that gentle hand, her heart had already flown away, she didn't want to see any stone statues, she just wanted to go back home quickly, sticking to Feng Suzhen openly and aboveboard.
"Okay." Feng Suzhen led Tianxiang out of the palace as if no one was there, two slender figures, one red and one pink, dazzled the palace people.
Tianxiang giggled and laughed so hard that she didn't even have time to take a bite of sugarcane.
"What's so funny?" Feng Suzhen asked without knowing why.
Tianxiang leaned on Feng Suzhen's shoulder, turned her face to look at Feng Suzhen's perfect profile, and said, "Did you see those people's eyes? They are jealous of me."
"Oh? Why?"
"Because there is a beauty like you beside this princess! Hahaha, unfortunately, they can only be jealous."
Feng Suzhen rubbed Tianxiang's hair amusedly, "Why can't they be jealous of me? Jealous that I have a princess who loves me wholeheartedly, jealous that I have an unparalleled gentleness in the world."
"Hahaha, Feng Su...cough, this princess thinks you are getting more and more powerful."
"Thank you princess for the compliment."
Tianxiang looked at Feng Suzhen with a smile, and walked to the carriage, Tianxiang suddenly called out: "Feng Shaomin."
"What's the matter?" Feng Suzhen naturally turned her face to the side, looking at Tianxiang.
Tian Xiangxiang turned her eyes and looked at Feng Suzhen's silence. Under Feng Suzhen's increasingly strange eyes, she shook her head slightly and said, "It's nothing, let's go back." After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage first, not as usual, Wait for Feng Suzhen to go up first.
Yue Su touched her head and asked Feng Suzhen: "My lord, what's wrong with the princess?"
Feng Suzhen chuckled: "I just want to know."
"Show me your hand." Tian Xiang waited for Feng Suzhen to enter the carriage, and said to Feng Suzhen.
The injury on the back of Feng Suzhen's hand is almost healed, only a faint red mark remains.Feng Suzhen didn't think much, sat across from Tianxiang, and handed her hand to Tianxiang.
Gently stroking the long and narrow wound, Tian Xiang didn't know what she was thinking.The carriage drove steadily, and Tianxiang's hand didn't leave the wound.After a while, Tianxiang raised her eyes, lingered on Feng Suzhen's cheek, then squatted halfway in front of Feng Suzhen, and lightly landed her hand on the arc-shaped scar on Feng Suzhen's cheek.
"Princess……"
"Feng Suzhen," Tianxiang sighed softly, looking at Feng Suzhen with tears in her eyes, "When did you remember?"
In order to reduce the damage to the common people, every year the imperial court allocates funds to clear the river sediment in advance and release silt to strengthen the embankment.In addition to the fact that the money will be withheld by officials at all levels, the Yellow River, as an ancient place with a profound history, itself has a mysterious color that makes people want to get a glimpse of it.
