History of Yongwu

Sailing in winter is not as fast as in summer, and there are still two or three days to arrive at Jianye. Qin Yu is really bored apart from being with Gongwen.

The idea of ​​painting a boat flashed in his mind, and he discarded it. For some reason, he couldn't get interested anyway. Qin Yu thought that he might really clean himself up, and he should really let Wang Meng see it.

Just such a boring boat trip for two days, finally sailed into the Yanglan River section, the night was like water, His Royal Highness King Jin wandered around boredly, strolled to the bottom floor, and heard a noise in the bilge.

Stopping his steps, Qin Yu listened carefully. It turned out that Bingyong, who had nothing to do, gathered together to gamble. He heard the faint sound of dice, and his hands felt a little itchy for no reason.

The guards following behind him, seeing King Jin stomping his feet and listening carefully, secretly sweated for the brothers in the room. If this is a crime according to military regulations, each person must have at least [-] army sticks.

Alas... King Jin didn't say anything, just left with a long sigh.

"I don't even have a match for gambling money," Qin Yu muttered and walked away.

Huh?Why is he here?Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a hostage, he is still the Crown Prince of a country, so it is not enough to place him in the hold and live with ordinary soldiers.

"Why did His Highness come here?"

"See you, my lord." Sima Shaojun turned around and saluted in a polite manner, then got up and said, "The scenery here is beautiful."

Sima Shaojun's every move was suspicious, he didn't want to attract people's speculation, and he might bump into King Jin, but it was not avoided here.

"The scenery is good?" Qin Yu stepped forward and looked in his direction, "I didn't see it."

Sima Shaojun didn't speak, just stood there, Qin Yu looked away, looked at him and asked, "I will arrive in Jianye tomorrow, His Royal Highness is worried, so he came out just now."

"There is no danger to your life, why worry?" Sima Shaojun said and saluted again, "Don't bother the prince's peace."

His Royal Highness turned to leave, Qin Yu turned to look at him, and suddenly said, "This king is short of a chess player, come on."

Sima Shaojun paused, hesitated, and followed.

In the room, the incense in the incense burner was slowly wafting, and the faint smell spread in the room. There was a pot of tea by the table, and the two sat opposite each other, just playing chess and drinking tea.

Sima Shaojun sat cross-legged and looked at the chessboard with a calm expression. He felt that he had played a similar game of chess and would lose sooner or later, but the ending was quite different.

Most of the red candle was lit, Sima Shaojun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the chess game and said slowly, "My lord has won"

"Your chess skills are rusty." Qin Yu also looked at the chess game.

"No." Sima Shaojun looked up at him, "You have become stronger, I feel ashamed." Getting up from the couch, Sima Shaojun saluted Qin Yushen and "resigned"

"Really?" Qin Yu suddenly said, "Is it really because I have become stronger? It's not because you did it on purpose."

"real"

Sima Shaojun looked at him with sincerity, but Qin Yu remained silent in response to his sincerity.

"Mu Shaoyun, I've known you for so long, but I don't seem to have known you before." He stood in front of him and continued, "I finally understand why people hate me, because I'm just as hypocritical and full of lies as you are."

"That's right." Sima Shaojun also looked at him and replied, "Only hypocrites can survive, and you are the hypocrites who are victorious."

We are the two sides of the bronze mirror, one standing at one end and the other at the other end, the only difference is the outcome.

"I'm a winner, so I have all the glory"

Qin Yu murmured, lying on the bed, wrapped tightly in the quilt, and fell asleep slowly in the remaining half of the cold night.

Jianye

There were a lot of people welcoming the city gates in the southern suburbs. Qin Yu casually glanced at them. He guessed that these people should be nobles who had a good relationship with the Chu family. His gaze stopped at the city gate. At the gate, Chu Lan was standing There, looking in his direction with a faint smile.

With a sigh in his heart, he walked over with a smile, stood in front of Chu Lan, and stopped her from falling down.

"It's cold, why do you come out?" Qin Yu said casually, took off his black fox cloak, and put it on Chu Lan.

"Thank you, my lord." Chu Lan lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.

Qin Yu smiled at her, and took her hand to board the pickup truck. Not far away, Chu Qian watched this scene, and couldn't help showing a smile. Qin Yu caught his smile and sighed again in his heart.

Hypocrites... huh!

In the carriage behind, Sima Shaojun looked at King Jin who was pulling the concubine beside him into the carriage, and slowly lowered his head.You are also a hypocrite, you have no joy in your eyes.

Inside the carriage

"My lord, the expedition has been exhausting." Chu Lan looked at King Jin with a blushing face.

"En." Qin Yu nodded, looked at her, and asked thoughtfully, "How is the princess doing in Jianye?"

"At home... Father's house, everything is fine"

"The matter between my king and you..."

"I remember the prince's instructions, but I didn't say anything," Chu Lan quickly replied.

Qin Yu showed a smile, looked at her and said, "Thank you very much."

"My concubine will naturally obey what the prince says." Chu Lan suddenly blushed again.

Qin Yu looked at her expression, hesitated and said, "Chu Lan, you may be puzzled by many of my king's actions, but... you are not allowed to ask, you just have to remember that being loyal to this king will surely bring good results."

"I know." Chu Lan nodded.

The car fell silent, Qin Yu turned his head to look outside the curtain, Chu Lan looked at his side face, and suddenly asked with a smile, "My lord, did you bring me a gift in Mingyue?"

"Uh...what do you want?" Qin Yu looked back at her and said, "I have someone send it to me."

"I want it from the prince"

Qin Yu frowned secretly, and before he could answer, the carriage stopped slowly, and Li Han whispered "My lord" outside the door

"Yeah." He promised to take Chu Lan out of the car, and Qin Yu stood in front of the gate of King Wu's Palace in a daze, "Why are you here?"

"This..." Li Han hesitated and didn't know what to say.

Qin Yu glanced at the expressions of the people following him, and knew in his heart that this must be the idea of ​​Mrs. Chu and Wu Dixungui, but... that's fine!

"Go, go."

Li Han led King Jin to live in the former King Wu's palace, and the nobles of Wu who followed him breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu's Mansion

After hearing Chu Qian's narration, Chu Song said, "When Xiaolan came back, I also asked her many times how she got along with the King of Jin. Xiaolan said that the King of Jin took good care of her, but I heard that the King of Jin likes to support the son."

After hearing this, Chu Qian thought for a while and said, "Father, the rumors in the market are not credible, besides, the children of the aristocratic family are sometimes young and frivolous, let alone King Jin, I am a famous family of the Chu family, King Jin will not belittle the younger sister."

"I'm not worried about this for my father, I'm worried that King Jin's kindness to Xiaolan is a lie," Chu Song said thoughtfully.

Zhao Zhiping has always supported state affairs, and has a profound influence on the King of Jin, and the status of the Chu family is self-evident. He is worried that the King of Jin will make a false move, but in fact he wants to cut off the Chu family.

Fake... Chu Qian naturally understood what his father meant, and recalled, "The son didn't feel like it. The king of Jin and his son asked about the younger sister when they first met, but later it was mentioned occasionally, and the king of Jin would take it lightly. It was really intentional, why did you cover it up, and the son looked at King Jin's expression, and he seemed happy when he mentioned Xiaolan."

"Your heart is unfathomable," Chu Song said.

"Even so," Chu Qian looked at him and said, "As long as the King of Jin needs me, Mrs. Chu, he needs to treat Xiaolan kindly.

"En." Chu Song nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "You said that Zhao Zhiping mentioned the capital and Xianghou in words?"

"That's right, and he has a worried look on his face. My son thinks that King Jin must have some difficulties in Beijing and needs help."

Chu Song narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to him, "The king of Jin is suspicious, and he won't talk too much when he doesn't regard Chu as his confidant. If this matter is serious, it will be a god-sent opportunity."

A few days after the King of Jin returned to Jianye, it was the New Year. During the day, the concubine sat in a carriage and only brought one person to visit Chu's house quietly.

In the warm pavilion, Chu Lan was talking to her mother. Chu Song hurried over to see her and said, "Why are you here today? Does King Jin know?"

"Father, don't worry, my lord has allowed me to come over," Chu Lan stood up and said.

"Why so capricious"

"Official documents came from the middle of the capital. King Jin was busy. Seeing that I missed my mother, he let me come here. Father can rest assured. How could my daughter do anything reckless?"

Chu Song nodded, and when he heard her words, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What troubles King Jin?"

"I don't know, but King Jin looks very unhappy." Chu Lan shook her head.

"As the side concubine of King Jin, you must understand the hardships of King Jin. Since King Jin is sad, you should be by your side."

"Daughter remembers"

Chu Song nodded, with a kind face on his face, and Chu Lan also smiled, and continued to sit down and talk to his mother. Chu Song listened beside him, and would say a word or two from time to time.

"Lan'er, did King Jin mention the princess?" Chu Lan's mother asked.

Um... Chu Lan looked at her mother and said nothing, wondering if she should say this.

"Mother is just worried that you will have grievances in the future, if it's inconvenient, forget it"

"No, the prince only mentioned it once, saying that the princess is a few years younger than the daughter, and he never said it again."

"No matter how young you are, you are still a princess. You must respect it when you see her in the future," Chu Song couldn't help exhorting.

Just as Chu Lan's mother was about to order something more, the housekeeper's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Master, General Wang is here."

"Please!" Chu Song hurried out, and Chu Lan followed behind.

In the flower hall, Wang Meng got up immediately when he saw Chu Lan, "Princess, the prince asked the last general to pick you up, and the palace banquet is about to begin."

"Thank you, General," Chu Lan replied.

"Don't dare, Wangfei, get in the car." Wang Meng turned sideways, and Chu Lan bid farewell to her parents and walked out.

Wang Meng saluted Chu's father and Chu's mother again to "say goodbye"

"General Wang, walk slowly." Chu Song saluted.

Chu Lan's mother watched the two leave, looked sideways at Chu Song and said, "My lord, the King of Jin never talks about Princess Jin, so he shouldn't worry much about Princess Jin."

"Maybe," Chu Song replied looking outside the door.

He didn't know the importance of Princess Jin in King Jin's heart, but he knew how important Wang Meng was in front of King Jin. General Wu Wei greeted him in person.

Taiping Palace, which is the original Wu Palace, on New Year's Eve, Qin Yu held a grand banquet in the palace as usual, to pacify the Wu Kingdom, and the bright moon fell to death. This great feat made tonight's palace banquet extraordinarily grand.

At the head of the hall, King Jin and his side concubine sat side by side, and the hall was full of dignitaries from Wu and generals of King Jin, sitting on both sides.

"Your Majesty cleared the bright moon, fulfilled the great wish of the previous emperors, and added strength to the sea, and my ministers congratulate the Majesty." One person stood up.

Qin Yu picked up his wine glass and looked at this honorable man whose surname he didn't know with a smile.

"Long live the king without bounds"

Everyone straightened up, and Qin Yu also drank from the wine glass in one gulp.

"Prince" Chu Lan whispered from the side, "This wine is strong, please drink less."

"It's all right, don't worry, side concubine." Qin Yu nodded, and took another glass with the jug, but it was just plain water, so what are you afraid of.

Seeing that King Jin's expression was normal, Chu Lan didn't try to persuade her anymore, she turned her head to look in the direction of His Royal Highness' brother and father, and smiled from the corners of her eyes.

"It's the first New Year without family to accompany you!" Qin Yu suddenly said.

Chu Lan lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. She was not as young as peach and plum. Although she was married, she always stayed at home. She only lived in the huge palace in the past few days. Without the company of relatives, it is impossible to say that she is not lost. , but she remembered her father's teachings and dared not say much.

"Missing the love of my dearest relatives, this king understands that the concubine has passed away for many years, and every time this king regrets deeply, I can't accompany you more"

King Jin spoke with melancholy, Chu Lan couldn't help but look up, but King Jin looked at her and smiled, "You don't want to be like this, why don't you invite the second elder and the elder brother to the palace after the dinner, and have a chat for a while."

"Really?" Chu Lan's eyes lit up, and her joy was beyond words.

"Naturally." Qin Yu nodded.

"Thank you, my lord"

Your Highness, Chu Song and Chu Qian looked at their intimacy and looked at each other with joy.

As the night darkened and the palace banquet ended, everyone respectfully sent King Jin and the side concubine away, and they also left one after another.

Before leaving the palace gate, Chu Qian and Chu Song's father and son were stopped by Li Han, and after whispering a few words, they were invited to the harem. Not far away, the nobles who saw this scene looked at each other, leaving with different expressions. go.

back garden

"Prince" Chu Lan leaned on the railing, her cheeks were flushed with alcohol, and she asked, "Can I ask about the princess?" Her mother's words were still on her mind.

"what do you wish to ask?"

"How old is the princess?"

Age... Qin Yu sat there and thought for a while, looked at her and said, "Twenty-eight years old, just a young age." After finishing speaking, he felt awkward for a while.

Indeed how young she was, Chu Lan thought to herself, seeing that King Jin was so casual, she asked again, "Is the princess beautiful?"

"The princess is virtuous and virtuous," Qin Yu replied, he actually didn't remember Wei Xia's appearance very much.

Um... Chu Lan didn't know if this was considered beautiful, she glanced at King Jin's expression, and boldly continued to ask, "Does the prince like the princess?"

Qin Yu looked at her, frowned secretly, and just wanted to do it perfunctorily, when he suddenly had a thought, stood up slowly, and spoke with his back to her.

"The princess is innocent, and the Wei family is even more famous. I am really lucky to have the princess, but" he paused, glanced sideways at Chu Lan, and then turned back and said, "The age difference between the princess and the king is really too big." , The big wedding has left in a hurry, I don’t think it should be... Alas... The country is really difficult, otherwise why bother?"

Chu Lan half understood, but King Jin's tone was not joyful.

"My lord, Master Chu and Mr. Chu are here." Li Han stood outside the pavilion.

"Brother, Chu Lao" Qin Yu turned around and looked at the two with a smile.

"See Your Majesty"

"The whole family will be free of the hypocrisy." Qin Yu helped Chu Song up, and said to him, "The old lady, the king, went to pick her up with Wang Meng. The princess missed her parents, and the king couldn't bear it, so I called the second elder brother and the elder brother to come."

"I'm bothering the prince." Chu Song cupped his hands.

"Where?" Qin Yu took him to sit down and said, "This palace is deserted, please accompany me, this king is also very pleased."

"Thank you, my lord," Chu Song saluted again.

Qin Yu waved his hand to signal that it was not necessary, and asked people to prepare food and wine. After Mrs. Chu arrived, several people sat around the table, chatting and laughing like a family.
