National teacher help

Lu Zhongming's heart was full of camels, but he had to stand with Li Jiancheng under the moonlight, smiling and saluting, and the sound of music came from afar.Li Jiancheng said politely: "Before, Jiancheng was negligent, Mr. Wang, don't take it to heart." After speaking, he bowed to the ground again, and said loudly: "Jiancheng is grateful for Mr. Lu's great kindness of doing his best for my Li family. .”

Lv Zhongming was startled, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to help him up, not without guilt in his heart, he forced a smile and said, "It should be."

Li Jiancheng said again: "If there are no accidents when we come back from Jiancheng, I will guard Bingzhou. I hope that Mr. Lu will teach Jiancheng more in the future."

Lu Zhongming's expression froze, knowing that Li Jiancheng must have seen him, and he was pretending to be stupid when he didn't confide in him at the beginning, but in fact it was a matter of friendship with Li Shimin.

"I must do my best to help the prince." Lu Zhongming said.

Li Jiancheng also said: "Chengcheng has a lot of things in his heart, and he wants to say it to my husband, but tonight my father is hosting a banquet, so I dare not disturb my husband. I will pay my respects tomorrow. Please come with me, sir."

"Okay." Lu Zhongming smiled.

Entering the hall, Li Yuan's left seat was full of civil servants, and his right seat was military generals, so Li Jiancheng arranged for him to sit in the civil seat, and said to the man next to him: "You two are so close, there must be endless things to talk about. "

Lu Zhongming sat at the last place among the civil servants, and behind him were all advisers. Knowing that he had no official position, he had already made great achievements in sitting here, so he could sit in a row with the county magistrates, Weiwei, etc., and the opposite was They were all generals, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were all seated, so they nodded.

There is still one seat per person, Lu Zhongming thought that at this time, people don't like the whole family to eat around the round table, it feels so unfamiliar.While waiting to eat, the person beside him asked, "What's your name, Xiongtai?"

"Lu." Lu Zhongming's attention was all on eating, and he turned his head to see that the person he was talking to had a dignified appearance, delicate features, bright lips, picturesque eyebrows, fair complexion, and a bookish look.There are buttons on the lapel of the robe, night pearls on the sleeves, and a string of sandalwood beads on the wrist.He is just a handsome and delicious young man, he looks like a son of an aristocratic family, with red lips and white teeth, he is by no means a hanger-on.

Lu Zhongming was startled at first, and was a little terrified when he saw the Buddha beads, but seeing his attire, he didn't look like a Buddhist at all, thinking that after coming here for a long time, there are still such handsome young men in the Tang Palace?It should not be a guest of the palace, but a friend of the Li family, maybe they were called back temporarily, looking at it, they seem to be important people, after thinking about it, they smiled and said: "Changsun Wuji?"

The young man was very surprised and said with a smile: "Lv Zhongming?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Lu Zhongming guessed right, knowing that he was Li Shimin's best friend, and that his younger sister was going to marry the Li family, so he felt a little close, and joked, "How do you know it's me?"

"Shimin just told me what happened a few days ago." Changsun Wuji moved closer and motioned him to look across. Lu Zhongming followed his gaze and saw Li Shimin sitting at the head of the generals' seat, with Chai Shao beside him. Li Shimin happened to look over too. , and smiled at them.

"The people of the world often talk about you." Lu Zhongming was about the same age as the other party, and felt that he had an ordinary temperament, so he said, "When did you come back?"

Changsun Wuji said: "I received a letter from him the night before yesterday, saying that he wanted to see me for the last time. I was really scared, so I rushed here without sleeping all the way. I didn't expect to be fine again. You said it's not a big deal. people?"

Lu Zhongming smiled and said, "That's right."

Changsun Wuji said helplessly again: "In this world, only you and I are willing to be hostages for him."

When Lu Zhongming heard this, he suddenly felt sad and felt guilty again. After thinking about it for a while, he said in a very low voice: "Wuji, I am ashamed to say it. I know that the people of the world are lucky in life, and they must not be hostages. Ask for this favor."

Changsun Wuji was drinking tea, he spit it out with a puff, and said solemnly: "It's fine anyway, thank you for saying that for him."

Lu Zhongming looked at Changsun Wuji appreciatively, nodded, and then moved his eyes to the beads on his wrist. Seeing that he cared about this string of beads, Changsun Wuji shook his wrist and said, "Do you like it? If you like it, I will give it to you. "

"Where did it come from?" Lu Zhongming laughed.

Changsun Wuji nodded hurriedly, smiled and said, "When I was returning to Bingzhou from Daxing, I passed through Hangu Pass. Master Shandao of the Pure Land Sect gave it to me to wear it for disaster relief."

Lu Zhongming: "Have you ever opened the light?"

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "It seems to have been said."

"Oh..." Lu Zhongming was thoughtful and wanted to decline, but Changsun Wuji handed it over and said, "I'll see you off."

The wood is like iron, but it is ebony, one tael of ebony and one tael of gold. The monk who gave away such a string of Buddhist beads is not an ordinary person. Lu Zhongming wanted to push it, but his hand touched the string of Buddhist beads, and he immediately felt a trace of solemnity.

That is the Buddhist power poured into the object by the master of Buddhism. The consecrated object should not be touched by others. Since Lu Zhongming has already touched it, he took it casually, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "I will return your gift of 1 taels of gold. owed."

Changsun Wuji laughed loudly, patted Lu Zhongming on the shoulder, and said, "When my sister gets married, I will come to ask you for it."

Lu Zhongming held the Buddhist bead and nodded, feeling the power on the Buddhist bead, the holy aura was different from the Shan Wuwei he had seen, that is, the lotus power of Avalokitesvara, not to mention the overbearing swastika power of Buddha light in Taoism... Like a white flower slowly blooming under the gentle moonlight, flowing in the black ebony beads.

Who is the one?Which case?

After Lu Zhongming inspected the Buddhist bead, he touched the case a few times with his fingers, pressed his finger on the sharp part of the wooden edge, and stroked lightly, scratched a little skin, and a drop of blood leaked out, and wiped it on the Buddhist bead.

As soon as Lu Zhongming's blood seeped in, Frieden reacted. He and the blood of the beast fought against each other faintly.

"What?" Changsun Wuji asked: "Master Shandao said that my fate is destined to be calamity, and I need to use Buddhist beads to ward off evil spirits. Is there something strange about these beads?"

Lu Zhongming shook his head with a smile, took Changsun Wuji's hand, put the beads on him, and said, "You wear them, which can bring good luck and avoid bad luck. I also opened it once for you."

Changsun Wuji seemed to have sensed it, raised his wrist, looked over and over again, and Lu Zhongming asked again: "What kind of person is that mage named Shandao?"

Changsun Wuji said: "He has also come to Jinyang, and there is also a guardian surnamed Wei..."

Hearing these words, Lu Zhongming shuddered and said, "When did you come?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Come here with me. Brother Jiancheng invited you here to pray for King Tang and the people, but King Tang doesn't like him very much. He likes your Taoists..."

Only then did Lu Zhongming relax a little, and Changsun Wuji leaned into his ear again, and said with a smile, "Zhongming, you know how to read people's lives, don't you? Show me palm reading too."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand, but Lu Zhongming didn't even look at it, and whispered, "You will be a great minister in the future, and you will become the uncle of the state."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Just when the food was served, Lu Zhongming completely forgot about Changsun Wuji and started eating.

During the banquet, Changsun Wuji wanted to disturb Lu Zhongming several times, but he was unable to succeed anyway. Lu Zhongming himself turned a deaf ear to Li Yuan talking at the top. up.

"Drink some wine." Changsun Wuji said, "Why are you in such a hurry to eat?"

Lu Zhongming and Changsun Wuji toasted each other, and then concentrated on dealing with his piece of fish.

Changsun Wuji said: "Do you recognize the group of people opposite? Or should I introduce you?"

"Say." Lu Zhongming said concisely.

Changsun Wuji said: "The one sitting next to Shimin is the hero Chai Shaochai..."

"I know." Lu Zhongming said.

"The one with the highest martial arts in the palace." Changsun Wuji said, "I've beaten Chang'an's invincible opponents all over the place, and anyone who provokes him only needs a single sword... But later, when I met Miss Xiuning, I found that I couldn't fight..."

"Well."

Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by the beauty pass, and Lu Zhongming deeply believes it.

"Brother Jiancheng is sitting next to my uncle." Changsun Wuji said, "He is very smart, and he also likes smart juniors. You can call him Uncle Gao."

Lu Zhongming glanced at the civil servants' table, and the young man who looked a bit like the eldest grandson Wuji was Gao Shilian. He looked like a scholar. Sure enough, his nephew looked like an uncle, and the two nephews and uncles looked alike.It's just that he is very young, he looks less than thirty, and he can't be seen as an elder at all.

"Behind him is Wei Wei envoy Wen Yanbo, sitting opposite Wen Yanbo is Duan Zhixuan, lieutenant of the Tiance Army, who brought out the Tiance Army..."

When Lu Zhongming heard this, he looked up at Duan Zhixuan, No. 2 on the generals' bench, and his eldest grandson Wuji said again: "But last year, General Duan was transferred to be the guard of Hangu Pass, and he only came back recently. Guess what will happen tonight?" What?"

"You will know later." Lu Zhongming said briefly.

Changsun Wuji said again: "General Duan's right hand is brother Yuchi..."

"I know it, skip it." Lu Zhongming said.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Jing beside Yu Chigong, not knowing who it was, and said, "I haven't seen that one before, but I feel a little familiar."

"Li Jing." Lu Zhongming picked out the uneaten ginger with chopsticks, rolled the bacon, and began to eat the meat.

"Li Jing?" Changsun Wuji frowned, as if recalling the name.

Lu Zhongming added: "Red Fu Girl."

Changsun Wuji was surprised: "The one who went to Yang Su's house and took away his maid?"

"You also know?" Lu Zhongming asked.

Changsun Wuji said: "Of course, Chang'an's rumors spread all over the city."

Lu Zhongming thought to himself that it was not easy for Li Jing to find a wife... Just as the dishes were finished, before the next one was served, he leaned over and said in a low voice, "Before I came, did Shimin have any counselors?"

Changsun Wuji nodded slightly and said, "Hou Junji is the one behind Shimin."

Lu Zhongming stretched his head to look behind Li Shimin, and seeing that he was also a young man, young and dressed in common clothes, he nodded, and Changsun Wuji said, "But I don't like him very much."

"Why?" Lu Zhongming asked.

"I can't talk about it." Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "It's very witty, but it doesn't have aura."

Lu Zhongming saw Yu Chigong got up and left the banquet, suddenly his heart moved, remembering today's promise, it happened that he hadn't seen Yuchigong for a long time, so he wanted to talk to him, took a sip of wine, and whispered: "I will leave the banquet for a while."

"I haven't finished yet!" Changsun Wuji pulled him to prevent him from leaving, Lu Zhongming said, "I'll be right back...Shh, don't say anything."

Li Yuan was still talking and laughing, so Lu Zhongming got up, went out from behind the pillar, walked to the side door, and left the main hall.

Tonight happens to be the fifteenth day of February, and there is a full moon in the sky. For some reason, the moon in the early Tang Dynasty is always very round, big and bright.

The moon reflects the tall buildings of Jinyang Palace, the clear night is cloudless, and the breeze is blowing, which is not a special feeling.

Lu Zhongming straightened his clothes and let out a long breath. What will he say when he sees Yu Chigong later?Just speak up?Said that my brother and Li Shimin and even Li Jing were bribed by you, tortured all day why I don't like you, now I'm here to find you...

not.

You are a good person, but I regard you as an older brother...Is it right to send a good person card? This is...It seems that it is not right to send a good person card... Lu Zhongming hesitated for a while, and then began to worry about whether he likes Yu Chigong or not, what is it like to like someone? ?

"Han is so vast, you can't think about it..." A deep voice sang from a high place far away, which startled Lu Zhongming. When Lu Zhongming looked back, he found that it was Yu Chigong.

Yu Chigong pressed his hands on the white jade railing, and looked down at the open space in front of the hall from a high place behind the main hall. Lu Zhongming turned his head to look at him, and the moonlight shone on him.

"Jiang Zhiyong is dead, you can't think about it..." Yu Chigong sang in a low voice, his voice was a little hoarse and melancholy.

Lu Zhongming laughed, knowing that Yu Chigong's sentence came from the Book of Songs, which means that the Han River is vast and cannot be swam, and the gods in the water cannot be pursued in life, so he turned and walked towards the high platform, and answered him by singing as he walked: "Make friends." When we know each other, why bother to get married..."

Those two sentences are from the Han Yuefu konghou ballad. Lu Zhongming changed it a little and made fun of Yu Chigong.

But Yu Chigong was not angry, smiled slightly, and sang again: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want? The heavens, who is this... Missing you and thinking about you, thinking like a disease... Not seeing each other for a day is like March..."

Lu Zhongming thought that most of the time it was taught by the people of the world, and he knew how to sing love poems. He had heard it countless times in Jinao Island, so he put his hands behind his back, jumped up the steps with both feet, and then hopped around. On the high platform, I made up a song myself, and sang casually: "I am ashamed of your love, I am ashamed of your beauty... I am so proud of you, so I have..."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhongming suddenly stopped talking and looked up at Yu Chigong. For some reason, he couldn't sing the last three words.

The poem comes from the Jasper Song written by Sun Chuo, a native of Jin Dynasty.

Once I sing like this, it means that I don't have feelings for you. How about we become brothers like Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong?If Yu Chigong understood, then there would be no possibility between the two of them.

At that moment, Yu Chigong looked at Lu Zhongming, as if he was about to be rejected, but Lu Zhongming's heart fluttered slightly, grasping a fleeting little feeling, it was very weak, like a young dragon, in Lu Zhongming's heart He swung his tail, but Lu Zhongming caught it clearly.

"So what?" Yu Chigong looked into Lu Zhongming's eyes and asked seriously.

"Forgot." Lu Zhongming smiled.

He walked up the stone steps, Yu Chigong gave up the space beside him and let him come over, the two of them stood, looking at the whole city of Jinyang under the high platform.Under the moonlight, the roofs are connected to the roofs, stretching into the distance. Beyond the end of the roofs, there are endless plains and slightly undulating mountains on the farther horizon.

Everything is sprinkled with the silver light of the full moon, very romantic.

"That's the Silk Road." Yu Chigong signaled Lu Zhongming to look at it, and said, "This road has changed the fate of many people."

"Including you?" Lu Zhongming asked.

Yu Chigong nodded and said, "When I was young, I always wanted to go west along that road and see what was at the end of the west. It's like you always wanted to leave Jin'ao Island and go to the mortal world to have a look."

Lu Zhongming was startled, looked at Yu Chigong in disbelief, and said, "How do you know?"

Yu Chigong smiled embarrassedly and said, "You must not know me."

Lu Zhongming said: "Have you been to Jin'ao Island?"

Yu Chigong said: "Not only have I been here, but I have been here many times...but every time, I can only see you, but you can't see me."

Lu Zhongming said: "When?"

Yu Chigong: "In a dream, in my dream."

Lu Zhongming looked at Yu Chigong in surprise, remembering that he really said that last time, could it be the dream that Laojun woven for him?

"Your home is a peach blossom forest." Yu Chigong said: "When I was young, whenever I was alone, beaten by the master, and fell asleep when I was very lonely, I would dream of that place... At that time, you were only five or six Years old, your father taught you archery."

"Yes." Lu Zhongming laughed, his eyes brightened, and said, "Do you often dream about my house?"

"Before the age of 16, I often dreamed." Yu Chigong turned his eyes to the distance and said in a daze: "Sometimes in the dream, I saw you sleeping under a tree by yourself. Sometimes I dreamed that you sneaked out of the house and wanted to I went to play in the world. I still dreamed of you... I was beaten by your father, squatting by the lake crying, I can't touch you, there is a layer of strength beside you, protecting you, I can't get close to you, I can't even enter your house, I can only watch from a distance, so when your father taught you Qianlong Xiaoye, I learned a little secretly."

Lu Zhongming felt that this was really unimaginable, Yu Chigong looked at him again, and said with a smile: "I watched you grow up year by year."

Lu Zhongming was reminded by Yu Chigong of his childhood memories. He remembered that when he was alone, he would be alone occasionally. He felt bored, but he didn’t know what to play. He always wanted to sneak into the mortal world. There is a mortal boy who will watch him from time to time through dreams and grow up with him.
