I want to be a faint king [Rebirth]

On the third day of March, the spring breeze was warm and the sky was clear.

In the garden in the National Academy of Sciences, the flowers are in full bloom, which is really beautiful. Xiao Rong in the gazebo is pacing in front of Yuan Yin with his hands behind his back, explaining the chapters in "Wen De Zheng Yao" for Yuan Yin.

Yuan Yin was also fascinated by what he heard, and his eyes fell on Xiao Rong's profile. He always thought Xiao Rong was good-looking, but it was a pity that he was born into a man. marry him.

"Your Majesty, do you understand?" Xiao Rong stood still in front of Yuan Yin, seeing him staring at him with a smile, he could not help breathing deeply: "Your Majesty."

"Ah, Xiao Aiqing, what you said is very good." Yuan Yin was called back to his senses by Xiao Rong, and he clapped his hands with a smile and said.

Xiao Rong's face was sullen, and his breathing was a little heavy. When he stared straight at Yuan Yin, his expression was a bit wrong. The smile on Yuan Yin's face slowly dissipated, and he said cautiously: "What Xiao Aiqing just said, I still... ... don't quite understand."

A trace of helplessness flashed across Xiao Rong's face, and then he opened his mouth and said: "Emperor Wende treats the people of the world with faith and integrity to his courtiers, so he opposes the method of feigning anger written by the courtiers to test the courtiers. Opinions, and the same way: flowing water is clear and turbid at its source. The source of the ruler's government is like water, and the common people are like water. The king is deceitful, and he wants his ministers to go straight.

Listening to Xiao Rong's words, Yuan Yin thought for a while before saying: "If you want to make great faith spread in the world, you don't want to prescribe deception. I want to treat my subjects with integrity. Therefore, the subjects will naturally treat me with integrity. The relationship between them is mutual trust, so the country is stable and no one can destroy it."

Xiao Rong looked at Yuan Yin and nodded slightly: "Integrity is easy to say, but it is more difficult to practice, especially now that the old and middle officials are all left by the former emperor, and each has their own thoughts. Your Majesty's future path I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"I'm not afraid, I have Xiao Aiqing and you." Yuan Yin said with a smile, full of sincerity.

Xiao Rong stared straight at Yuan Yin, the appearance of pure trust seemed to appear after that day, the appearance of wholehearted trust caused Xiao Rong to feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

"Today's class time has arrived. Your Majesty can study it carefully later. If there is anything you don't understand, you can list it down. I will explain it to Your Majesty tomorrow." Xiao Rong glanced at the incense in the incense burner on the table, and then took a step back , and bowed to Yuan Yin.

Yuan Yin got up, so Xiao Rong got up and said: "Xiao Qing is going out of the palace? To see Mr. Luo?"

Xiao Rong nodded and said: "My mother suffered a disaster many years ago. Although it is my birthday, the one who should be most grateful is my mother, so I plan to go back home to accompany my mother."

"Xiao Aiqing is so filial, I really didn't see the wrong person." Yuan Yin said with a smile, and then called: "Xiao Luzi, bring it in."

Xiao Rong didn't understand what it meant, and then looked up at Yuan Yin's mysterious face, waiting for Xiao Luzi to come.

Xiao Luzi led the female officer of Si Baosi, and stood under the gazebo, holding the things covered with red cloth, and saluted Yuan Yin and Xiao Rong.

"Xiao Aiqing, open it and have a look." Yuan Yin said with a smile.

Xiao Rong didn't ask any more questions, and then he saluted and walked down the steps, stretched out his hand and uncovered the red cloth on the tray, and the Musk Moon Guqin suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Rong. .

Xiao Rong has only heard about the Musk Moon Guqin in books. It is said that during the Warring States Period thousands of years ago, the qin master in the palace was expelled from the palace for offending the king, and began to travel between countries. Qin Yi stayed in the Qin workshop in the capital of Chu State at that time, accompanied by the piano every day, and tried the piano for the son of the aristocratic family.

Unexpectedly, there was a drought that year, the business of the piano shop was not good, the house leaked and it rained all night, the piano workshop was destroyed by the sudden fire, and the luthier died in the sea of ​​fire in order to protect his beloved piano, and waited for him to be rescued from the fire When he came out, his whole body was scorched black, only the piano in his arms was intact.

When the qin master held the qin, the folds of his clothes were printed on the body of the qin, and the pattern was also unique. Later, in order to commemorate the qin master, the owner of the qin workshop kept the qin in the qin workshop and carved the patterns.And that qin will ring by itself every night when the moon is full. It is alive, so it is named Musk Moon.

Legends are legends after all, but today I can see with my own eyes that Xiao Rong is still attracted by the unique mysterious beauty contained in that Guqin, and I can't wait to start playing a piece right now.

"I heard that Mr. Tinglan's calligraphy and painting skills are excellent, so I found this musk moon in Si Baosi. Xiao Aiqing, I like this birthday gift." Yuan Yin walked to Xiao Rong's side, looked at him and asked.

Xiao Rong stretched out his hand and caressed the strings of the qin, he couldn't put it down, and then bowed to Yuan Yin and said: "I thank you for your majesty's gift. I like the Musk Moon Guqin very much."

"As long as Xiao Aiqing likes it, Xiao Aiqing might as well try it out. The musk moon Guqin was sent by Jiang Shao, the magistrate of Yunzhou, on my father's birthday, and it has been placed in the Sibao Division until now. Fortunately, it was Xiao Aiqing's birthday, otherwise I don't know when and what month will this musk-moon guqin see the light of day again." Yuan Yin said with a smile.

"Yes." Xiao Rong saluted, then carefully picked up the musk moon guqin and returned to the pavilion, and placed it on the stone table. Xiao Rong exhaled slowly, curled up his sleeves slightly, and put his hands on the piano , Gently pluck the strings.

The sound of the qin is long and clear, and even Yuan Yin, who doesn't know the qin, knows that the timbre of this guqin is very good, even better than ordinary qin.

"Sure enough, it lives up to the reputation of Sheyue Guqin. The tone is excellent. The sword is given to heroes, and the guqin is given to beauties." Yuan Yin smiled complacently, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that there was something wrong with his words.

beautiful woman?

Xiao Rong?

Yuan Yin looked sideways at Xiao Rong, and he looked up at Yuan Yin at the moment, as if he also felt strange because of Yuan Yin's words.

"The minister thanked His Majesty for giving him the piano." Xiao Rong hurriedly got up and straightened his sleeves, and saluted Yuan Yin.

"Xiao Aiqing is very polite. Now that I have given you the gift, Xiao Aiqing hastened to go home to accompany Mrs. Xiao, and then go to Mr. Luo's appointment at Liuting Bridge." Yuan Yin patted Xiao Rong on the shoulder, smiling It seems a little weird, but the meaning in the words is also thought-provoking.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Rong was about to speak, but Yuan Yin hurriedly said again:

"I know that you have passed the crown but have never been married. I also understand what you think in your heart. I will not propose marriage for you. Even with the queen mother and the emperor's grandmother, I will not talk nonsense." Yuan Yin Hastily patted his chest in reassurance, and said in reassurance.

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Rong's face darkened, and he seemed a little unhappy in his heart.

"Why are you talking nonsense." Yuan Yin looked straight at Xiao Rong, and smiled meaningfully: "I understand, the matter between you and Mr. Luo is known, you know me, I won't let others know, don't worry."

Xiao Rong's complexion became even uglier. For the first time in 23 years, he felt distraught and clueless.

"The minister resigns." Xiao Rong saw that Yuan Yin seemed to have confirmed what he was thinking, so he stopped explaining, sighed slightly, saluted Yuan Yin, and left the Guoxue Supervisor to leave the palace and return home.

Seeing Xiao Rong's appearance when he left, Yuan Yin was in a good mood.

Although he wanted to be an open-minded emperor who reused capable people, he still felt that being angry with Xiao Rong would make him feel better. In other words, if you hold your breath, it can still make Yuan Yin feel better, and it can't be happier.

"Go back to the palace." Yuan Yin stretched his waist with a smile, ordered Xiao Luzi to pack up his books, and walked out of the Superintendent of Guoxue with his head held high.

The evening wind blew across the Liuting Bridge, raising the willow branches hanging by the river. The wine shops beside the Liuting Bridge were built along the water, and the words written on the banners were chic, and they were also fluttering with the wind at this moment.

Xiao Rong, who was wearing a tooth-colored brocade robe embroidered with plum blossoms, stood at the door of the winery, his hair tied up in a bun set off his stiff appearance, his deep eyes searched around the winery, and then fell on Linshui by the window on the person in that position.

Luo Chen saw Xiao Rong coming, then raised his smiling face and stood up, saluted Xiao Rong: "Brother Xiao, you are here."

"En." Xiao Rong replied, and then sat down opposite Luo Chen: "Today is costing you."

"Brother Xiao's kindness to me is as great as a mountain, but a meal of wine, how can it be considered a waste of money." Luo Chen smiled shyly, nodded his head to pour wine for Xiao Rong, and continued: "If there was no brother Xiao back then, I'm afraid I would have... It is thanks to Brother Xiao that he can achieve such an achievement."

Xiao Rong stared straight at Luo Chen, taking in every move, every frown and smile in his eyes, and for some reason, Yuan Yin's words got into his mind at this moment, and he looked at Luo Chen in front of him again. Chen couldn't help opening his mouth and said:

"Brother Luo, do you have something to say to me today?"

Luo Chen had just put down the jug, and when he heard Xiao Rong's words, his expression froze, and he didn't know how to speak for a moment, so he smiled awkwardly, looked sideways at the willow branches swaying in the wind outside the wine shop, and said slowly:

"I can't hide it from brother Xiao."

"Tell me." Xiao Rong sat up straight, looking at Luo Chen whose expression had changed a bit.

Luo Chen nodded and hesitated, and it took him a long time to raise his eyes to look at Xiao Rong in front of him, his eyes were affectionate, but he seemed a little timid, he clenched the wine glass tightly, drank it down, his eyes were reddened by the spicy wine, borrowed Luo Chen said after drinking wine:

"Since you rescued me from the small hall that night, I have never been able to forget you. I came to Beijing with you, and you arranged a way for me to support myself and achieve today's achievements. But there is always a word in my heart that is difficult to express, you and the queen have never married a wife, but because you have me in your heart?"
