[Honghuang] Recruiting demon flags

King Zhou has always agreed to Daji's request, so after the banquet, King Zhou was so drunk that he was helped by the left and right palace people to rest in the next bedroom, leaving only Daji and Bo Yikao in the star picking room. building.

The waiter put it on? Two pianos came.

After the banquet was over, the attic was extremely cold, and even the maids standing on both sides were drowsy. In this huge palace, there was a sense of depression, only Daji and Bo Yikao People sit opposite each other.

In such a scene of people taking tea to cool down, after Bo Yikao sat on the piano table, he looked even more handsome and elegant.

He asked Daji: "Did you learn the way of rhythm?"

Daji smiled, "I have learned a little bit."

Bo Yikao corrected his color and straightened his clothes. He told her from the five tones and eight methods, and talked about the piano as the most important? Ancient elegant music, there are six taboos and seven not to play, and 81 major? Voice, all kinds, talked a lot.

Although he was talking about the piano, Daji could hear it? He was absent-minded, and sighed secretly in his heart.

She raised her hand and signaled Bo Yikao to stop talking for the time being. She glanced over the drowsy maids, and finally landed on Boyi Kao. She asked slowly, "Master? I don't belong to Shensi, but in the Worried about the matter of Lord Xibo?"

Bo Yikao was startled, his fingers slipped, and he played a wrong sound.

Seeing his appearance, Daji smiled slightly, and said, "My lord, don't worry. Xibohou is talented, virtuous and capable, and my palace also admires him very much. Naturally, I will help you say a few words in front of your majesty. More What's more, according to my palace, His Majesty is very happy with the treasures presented by the young master, so I think you won't embarrass Marquis Xibo too much."

Boyi Kao hurriedly sat upright, and knelt up, "——I dare not trouble Madam. Madam has such kindness, and I am very grateful."

Daji smiled, but did not answer, but raised her voice and said to the left and right palaces: "You all step back."

Bo Yikao's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his head.

After waiting for no one around, Daji put down her hands playing the piano, and said sternly: "I ask Your Majesty to stay with you for a few days, but I want to talk to you about something. I don't know about you, but have you ever heard of it?" Talk about the law of heaven and destiny? For example, in this world, many people seek immortality and divination, but they just want to get a glimpse of the law of heaven and predict their destiny."

Bo Yikao was a little surprised, I don't know why she suddenly brought up this matter.

However, Xibo Hou Jichang was good at divination and calculation, and deduced the gossip into 64 hexagrams. As the eldest son of Jichang, Boyi Kao can also be regarded as the source of family learning, so he is naturally familiar with what Daji said.

He said, "I heard a little bit."

Because neither of them played the piano, there was silence in the attic.There was still the wine brought by the servant at the side of the piano case. Daji picked up the wine bottle, took a sip, and said, "Young master, do you know that many people have already counted on this matter—— Marquis Xibo has a hundred sons? In the future, it will be your brother Ji Fa who will inherit the great lineage of Xiqi."

The sky was getting dark, and the light of dusk came in through the carved windows of the vermilion door, casting out one after another pale shadows on the paulownia floor.

Daji sat upright on her knees, pursed her lips slightly, and looked at Bo Yikao—the matter involved a secret, and it was too big? In spite of everything, she didn't dare to say too much: Ji Fa's achievements in the future will not stop at Xi'an Qiyidi?!

That is the person who will be the emperor.

Nine states and four seas, the king of all peoples.

Bo Yikao raised his eyes, saw Daji looking at him, and was slightly stunned.

Born in a princely family, he naturally understands that if Ji Fa inherits the great lineage, there will be no place for him in this world anymore.

For a moment, Bo Yikao withdrew his gaze and just sat quietly in the dusk, as if hesitating about something.

Then, he lowered his voice and asked, "Ji Fa...he, is he wise?"

Daji was taken aback.

——If you say wise, then of course you are wise. The Great Tribulation of the Three Realms and the sage king of the human race should all be on Ji Fa's body.

only……

She didn't know how to answer for a while, so she just said nicely: "Ji Fa is kind and loving, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and praise the virtuous name."

Hearing this, Bo Yikao casually plucked the strings of the qin and made a series of pleasant sounds.

He smiled slightly, and said, "That's it. As long as Ji Fa is wise and loved by the people, who will inherit the Xiqi Great Tradition, what's the matter?"

The sound of the piano is idle, long? Floating in the paulownia pavilion.

Bo Yikao laughed quite freely, Daji didn't know what to say, so he sighed in his heart again.

The setting sun poured down from the window lattices, covering everything in the hall with a layer of soft and calm golden red, reflecting on the young and handsome face of Prince Xiqi.

After a while, he asked: "Why did your empress tell me these things?"

Daji lowered her eyes, looked at the bronze wine bottle placed on the qin case, and said slowly: "I just think that the young master is a dragon and a phoenix among the people, but it is a pity that he has a rough life. Gong couldn't bear to see Junjie in trouble, so he thought, Young Master? Why don't you act out a scene of feigning death to avoid people's eyes and ears, so that you can avoid it—Young Master, what do you think?"

Bo Yikao was startled, "Fake death?"

"If you keep your name incognito, young master, think about it, and you won't find your son again. How big is this world? Famous mountains, big rivers, fragrant grass and wild trees are all scenery. If you can live like this for a lifetime? , Wouldn’t it be nice to stay away from worldly strife?”

Bo Yikao fell silent.

Daji looked at Bo Yikao's frown, knowing that he couldn't be sure to pay attention at this moment, so she calmed down, smiled gently, and said, "Master? If you are tired, you can go to rest first."

……

Daji spent a lot of time persuading Bo Yikao.

The reason why she is so concerned about this matter is also because she and Bo Yikao were both involved in the catastrophe and subject to the fate of heaven.

Daji does not believe in fate.

Back then, she couldn't save Shang Rong and Yin Jiao, she didn't want to? Today's Bo Yi Kao would go down this old road?

As for Daji's words, Bo Yikao believed to a certain extent.

But he was still hesitant about her proposal of burying his name and feigning death.

But fortunately, King Zhou didn't think about Boyi Kao these days. The Xiqi people who came to Chaoge just stayed in the post house, and Boyi Kao would go to the Shang Palace every day. A trip to teach Daji how to play the piano.

Daji then had a lot of time to persuade him.

Boyi Kaoben is not a person who is keen on power, and he hesitates a few times, but it is only because he is concerned about Ji's clan and the people of Xiqi.After Daji clarified the pros and cons with him, she gradually looked away. For a few days, she came to discuss the specific details of the plan with Daji.

As for Daji, although it is just to make an excuse, she is really learning the piano.

Bo Yi Kao has a kind of respect for the qin, which is completely different from the profligate sounds that King Zhou likes. Before playing the qin, he must bathe and burn incense to calm his mind. Out of the meaning of dust.

Daji studied very seriously.

She thought, the empress should like it.

……

……

Shang Palace, Royal Lake.

A waterside pavilion stretches out from the shore, with quaint cornices and thin gauze curtains hanging from all sides.Green smoke rises from the gold-plated incense burner in strands and strands, filling the water pavilion with a dark fragrance.

Daji was wearing a blue palace dress, ringed with pearls, and sat behind the piano table.

She has been studying the piano with Bo Yi for a while now. The maids and eunuchs are familiar with Concubine Su's temperament, and they all know not to disturb her. After setting up the piano stage, they retreated early, leaving only Daji and There are two people in Boyi Kao.

Bo Yikao was still in the same white brocade robe, sitting upright with his back to the rippling lake, and said, "I brought the piano score."

Daji randomly picked the strings of the qin, listened to the tone, and asked, "My lord? This is, are you going to go back tonight and get sick?"

"Yes." Bo Yikao said calmly: "In the future, the minister will not see your mother, so I brought the piano scores here today. They are all ancient songs. I hope that after accepting them, the mother will practice more frequently. Don't let the painstaking efforts of the predecessors become extinct."

He placed the piano score by the incense burner.

But Daji was not in a hurry to take it. She put one hand on the guqin and asked slowly: "My lord? This time, once you get away from feigning death, you will be a wild crane in the clouds. My lord? In the future? What are your plans?"

When she was speaking, her blue long sleeves hung down along the sides of the case, with a gentle and elegant appearance.

Today, Boyi Kao is still sitting at the head of Daji, respectful and upright, with his back straight, but his whole demeanor seems much more casual, as if he has finally put an end to his mind, and said: "Naturally. Just like what the empress said, keep your name incognito, travel around the mountains and play in the water, and be free and unrestrained."

As he spoke, he couldn't help frowning, "It's just, my father's side..."

"It doesn't matter." Daji smiled lightly, "I will intercede with His Majesty on this matter."

Hearing this, Bo Yikao seemed to have thought of something, and smiled slightly, and said, "Of course I believe in your mother."

Over the past few days, he and Daji have gradually become acquainted with each other because of passing on the piano.He played the tune casually, and said: "The world is so big, with strange mountains and different waters. From now on, I will be alone. I have no relatives and no friends. I wonder if my mother knows any good places to go?"

"—Of course there are."

Daji thought about it for a while, and felt very fascinated, so she slowly talked with Bo Yi: "For example, in the East China Sea, there is a sacred mountain, a sacred tree of hibiscus, a place where the sun rises, three It is the place where the golden crow lives. Or, young master, you can also go to the north and see the vast expanse of reeds. I heard that this reed has great uses. When it is burned to ashes, it can stop all floods in the world. In the North Sea, there is also Black Dragon..."

As she spoke, she suddenly became dazed again.

These Kyushu geography, anecdotes and anecdotes were told by the Nuwa Empress herself when she was in the Wa Palace.

seven years.

In fact, she didn't forget anything.

……

……

Royal Garden.

The surrounding scenery was just right, King Zhou was sitting in a beautifully carved gazebo, but he was frowning tightly.

There is a chessboard in front of him, and on the opposite side of the chessboard are Fei Zhong and You Hun, two Chinese doctors.On the chessboard, there are criss-cross squares, black and white intertwined. Obviously, many pieces have been moved in this game.

Fei Zhong looked at King Zhou's expression and speculated, "If your majesty doesn't like to play chess, you don't have to force it. Now the scenery is just right, and the peony flowers in this garden are also in bloom. You see, why don't you tell me to go down and let the imperial dining room Prepare some banquets..."

Hearing this, King Zhou did not look happy, instead he frowned even tighter, "However, my beloved concubine likes it."

Fei Zhong and You Hun looked at each other, and secretly sighed.

At this moment, King Zhou picked up the chess record at hand, flipped through a few pages in the bright sunshine of spring, and then looked at the chessboard again, frowning, as if he was comparing the two sides, thinking hard about the next move. How to settle down?.

Seeing his appearance, You Hun probed and asked: "Your Majesty has worked so hard to learn chess for Concubine Su, but do you know what Miss Su is doing now?"

King Zhou was concentrating on the chess game, and casually replied, "What are you doing?"

"Return? Your Majesty, Concubine Su Gui has been taking piano exams with Bo Yi in recent days. She often stays in one place, shuns the palace people, teaches and learns, and it takes half a day. Come and look for me. People inside and outside the palace say that Bo Yikao puts all his heart into teaching Su Niangniang.

As if it wasn't enough, Fei Zhong also chimed in and said, "...I don't know what's so good about this Boyi exam. Concubine Su Gui doesn't even get close to His Majesty. Now, in Chaoge City, rumors are everywhere— —Oh, damn it! How could His Majesty hear such words!"

King Zhou suddenly stood up, flicked his sleeves, and overturned the chessboard in front of him. The black and white chess pieces crackled and scattered all over the ground.

He angrily said: "Is this true?!"

Fei Zhong and You Hun hurriedly knelt down, bowed their heads to the ground, and said tremblingly, "It's absolutely true!"

King Zhou couldn't hold back any longer. With a flick of his sleeves, he paced back and forth in the pavilion with a sullen face and said sharply: "—Go, find out whoever spread these words, there is one...it's one ?, cut out all the tongues, and sent them to the widow! No, it’s not enough. Pillar? Come out, please—”

When he said this, he still couldn't let go of his hatred, stopped and asked again: "Where's Bo Yi Kao?"
