Chang Anqing

Chapter 145 Regeneration Variables
The whistling north wind is getting stronger and stronger at this moment, and at some point, it has already brushed the face with ice particles, wrapped in a bone-chilling cold, Zhao Yi and Shangguan Ji both stared at each other silently, their eyes filled with sympathy. The meaning of concealing but not revealing is even more profound and unpredictable.

"Shang Shuling is a famous Confucianist in the world, but he is a rude person next time. How can he talk about his predecessors like an axe?"

In the silence, Zhao Yiyu was the first to break the silence politely, but Shangguanji smiled casually, looked at the person in front of him and sighed: "No, the king of Yuling is just talking and laughing with the old man, why are you talking nonsense?" , King Yuling said it’s okay.”

Hearing this, Zhao Yi looked at Shangguan Ji in front of him, and knew that the gentle smiling old minister in front of him was far from the superficial kindness.

"Wisdom or foolish loyalty is not determined by the words of a family, but by the heart."

Zhao Yi was talking, then turned to look at the buildings outside the hall and said slowly: "At that time, whether it was Xun Yu, Zhou Yu, or Kong Ming, they seemed to have different paths, but in fact they all came to the same goal. What they wanted was to calm down the turmoil and unify the world. Return the people of the world to a clear day."

"Since that's the case—"

Zhao Yi looked at Shangguan Ji and said calmly: "There is no distinction between being wise and being foolish and loyal. They are all obedient to the heart, eating the king's salary, worrying about the king's worries, and doing things for the country and the people."

Looking at Zhao Yi's faintly smiling eyes, Shangguan Ji's gaze sank slightly, and the smile on his lips spread out little by little.

"King Yuling really has lofty aspirations, even if he looks at everything, he puts the world and the people's livelihood first."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Ji shook his head with a smile and said: "In contrast, the old man will talk about himself and others, please listen to King Yuling."

While speaking, watching Zhao Yi nod his head lightly, Shangguan Ji stroked his beard lightly, and said leisurely: "Back then, Sun Quan had many generals, sitting on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and the most powerful, he was a world-class talent. Very high, such a master, it is easy to keep success, but it is difficult to develop. Cao Cao coerced the emperor to make the princes, and he was eager to seek talents, and he was worthy of being a generation of heroes. However, this person is suspicious and greedy. Fight the country, but may not be able to sit in the country together."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Ji looked at Zhao Yi in front of him, and said word by word: "In comparison, Liu Bei, although weak, comes from an orthodox background. He is a teacher of justice in the hearts of the people of the world. Treat each other with sincerity, not only the brotherhood of brotherhood in Taoyuan, but also the righteousness of the monarch and ministers who entrust the orphans of three feet."

"Not to mention that there were many capable people under the command of Sun Cao and Sun Cao back then. Kong Ming's going was just icing on the cake, but entering Liu's tent was a gift of friendship in the snow. If you enter the former, you may not be able to show your ambitions and give full play to your talents. Only after entering the latter Only those who are like mortise and tenon fit together tightly, and the real monarch and his ministers unite with each other, showing their amazing talents."

In the dark night, Shangguan Ji's eyes gradually became meaningful when he said this, and the words on his lips became more and more deep.

"Is it the icing on the cake, it's better if nothing comes to nothing, or it's better to give charcoal in the snow and make a deep-seated kindness, the Yuling King must have a decision in his heart."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yi naturally understood that the icing on the cake in Shangguan Jiyu is the Yang family, the emperor who sends charcoal in the snow is the Shangguan family, the self-willed and greedy is Yang Chongyuan, and the one who employs people without suspicion and treats them sincerely is the Mingtang Yuan. Chengdi, he was Shangguanji.

Just when Zhao Yi's lips parted slightly, a respectful and cautious voice suddenly broke the peace between the two.

"Shang Shuling, King Yuling, the banquet in the palace is about to start, please come in, both of you."

Looking at the internal officials who came to invite, Shangguan smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhao Yi, Gu Zi stretched out his hand and said: "It's cold in the corridor, King Yuling, please."

When Zhao Yi walked into the main hall, he saw that the empress was already sitting in the upper seat, waiting to perform the next salute. Just as he turned around and walked towards the seat, he happened to meet the eyes of Li Sui who was beside Empress Yang. Dressed up, bright and dignified, even though she only glanced at him at this moment, it could make him see that she was greeting him.

He didn't need to think about it, he could guess that the little internal official who interrupted his conversation with Shangguanji just now, and invited them to the table, must have been written by Princess Yongning of the palace.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi sat down silently, but there was a little more smile in his eyes.

After all the monarchs and ministers had taken their seats, about a while later, Yang Chongyuan, who was wearing a black crane cloak, came slowly. Seeing Yang Chongyuan, Emperor Yuan Cheng, and Zhao Yi congratulate him one after another, the banquet tonight officially began. The dancer with her exquisite figure wrapped in a dance skirt danced lightly to the sound of quick drum music. The monarchs and ministers at the banquet gradually mingled with each other, overjoyed, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.

Seeing that the night banquet was gradually heightened to the extreme, and everyone was a little drunk, the drum music on the side of the hall suddenly shook, and as the enchanting dancers retreated one by one, a group of heroic girls were all covered with red gold masks and dressed in military uniforms. Armed with a sword, halberd and golden shield, they danced vigorously and powerfully to music and music. The courtiers who were pushing glasses and changing glasses couldn't help but put down their wine glasses when they saw this scene. Shocked by the fit dance, the atmosphere in the faint middle hall was gradually boosted with enthusiasm, and everyone seemed to have gone deep into the desert and vast sea, participating in a life-and-death fight of a bloody man.

At the end of the song, everyone in the seat was still immersed in it, especially the lead dancer combined dance and martial arts, which seemed to present a visual feast for everyone, and they couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.

It wasn't until Emperor Yuan Cheng clapped his hands and drank, that it triggered bursts of applause and admiration, and the whole hall shook.

"Okay! This song and dance is very exquisite, Concubine Shu really put her heart into it, she should be rewarded."

After all, with a wave of Emperor Yuan Cheng's sleeves, a servant presented hundreds of gold and brocades. Seeing Yue Zhaoyi's disapproving eyes, Concubine Shu naturally acted as if she hadn't seen her. This concubine is just hosting tonight's night banquet under the guidance of Her Royal Highness, and I dare not take credit for it, so I can only pay tribute to the Yuling King and show my majesty to the Xuanjia Army."

Speaking of this, Concubine Shu held up the wine cup in her hand, and congratulated in her words: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for winning such a loyal minister and general as King Yuling. The world is peaceful, and there is no need to worry."

Hearing Concubine Shu's words, Empress Yang who was present also toasted with all the officials. Seeing this, Emperor Yuan Cheng happily drank one, then carefully helped Empress Yang to sit down, and then said: "Concubine Shu, don't be humble. , you deserve this reward."

Concubine Shu didn't refuse any more after hearing the words, and ordered people to accept the gift modestly. The next moment, she glanced at Zhao Yi at the banquet and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your gift, but I think that the king of Yuling has made great contributions tonight, and I deserve more than my concubine." The one who received this gift from the Son of Heaven should be the Yuling King."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Yi in unison, facing everyone's envious or hot eyes, Zhao Yi stood up calmly and cupped his hands and said: "It is the duty of the minister to guard the country, and I dare not take credit for it. "

Hearing the words, Emperor Yuan Cheng raised his hand to block back, his eyes were full of admiration: "Concubine Shu is very right, to hold a banquet for you tonight, to celebrate my victorious Xuanjia army, this merit should indeed be rewarded."

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's words, everyone began to ponder silently. Now, in terms of official position, Zhao Yi has been promoted several levels in a row, and the title has even reached the rank of king. The usual money rewards are not a problem. If the rewards continue, I don't know what to do What is the reward.

Seeing that Zhao Yi was about to speak at this moment, Concubine Shu was the first to speak out: "The ancients said, to start a family and establish a career, and now the King Yuling has made countless great achievements, why don't your majesty marry him personally, a good match from heaven—"

Hearing this, everyone finally understood. It seems that the rumors in the market place are indeed true.

Emperor Yuan Cheng paused slightly when he heard the words, then looked at Shangguanji, and smiled slowly: "It's a good idea, but this matter should be consensual, lest I make a mistake—"

Concubine Shu smiled and turned her head when she heard the words, and saw a beautiful figure coming forward, it was the masked woman who had just led the dance in front of the hall.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that the reason why my concubine didn't dare to pretend to be credited is because my cousin's cousin admired the demeanor of Yuling King and rehearsed it herself. Rather than giving this reward to my concubine, it's better to give it to her It is."

As soon as the voice fell, the woman in military uniform in front of the hall immediately took off her mask. Under the shadow of the lamp, she could only see the heroic face of the woman.

"My daughter, Shangguan Yun, greets Your Majesty and Your Highness the Empress—"

Seeing the dashing and heroic girl in front of her giving military salutes with her sword, Empress Yang thought of Li Sui beside her, and she couldn't help feeling worried.

Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes brightened and he said "oh", then turned to his seat and said to Shangguan Ji: "The Aiqing family has a long history of talents and learning, but I don't know how to cultivate such a daughter who is not inferior to a man."

Shangguan Jiwen smiled, looked at Yang Chongyuan who was staring at him, and said: "My niece has never liked red makeup or martial arts makeup since she was a child, but has always loved reading military books and history books. She has heard about the battles of good generals of my dynasty. For example, after the heroic anecdote of No Man's Land, I have long admired Yuling King—”

Speaking of this, Shangguan Ji cupped his hands respectfully and said to Emperor Yuancheng: "This time, when I heard that King Yuling won the audience, I came up with the idea of ​​rehearsing this dance. Concubine Shu was also exhausted for this child, so I agreed. She performed a dance in front of the palace, which is really a shame in front of His Majesty and all of you."

"Ai Qing humbled herself—"

Seeing Zhao Yi sitting there without saying a word, Emperor Yuan Cheng said slowly, "Since Mrs. Shangguan is so attentive, I don't know what Zhao Qing is thinking at this time?"

Going around in a circle, when the topic fell on Zhao Yi again, everyone followed suit, and Shangguan Yun who was standing in the hall at this moment was indeed not weak and shy like the other daughters, but his eyes were sympathetic, very bright He smiled generously at Zhao Yi, and took the lead in saying: "The dance just now is "The Song of the Yuling King Breaking the Battle". Although the little girl led a group of ladies to rehearse for more than a month, she did not see the figure of the Yuling King on the battlefield after all. Out of shape, unable to imitate God, I feel sorry for the little girl."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yi finally turned his head to look at the girl's shining eyes, and then slowly got up, with a rare change in his eyes, and said politely and politely: "Shangguan It is difficult to find a match for the exquisiteness of the Niangzi Dance, but every battle is fought by countless Xuanjia troops. I dare not take the lead in this. I think that changing the name to "Xuanjia Breaking the Battle" may be better. To be appropriate."

Emperor Yuan Cheng smiled when he heard the words, looked at Shangguan Yun and said, "Lady Shangguan is the rehearsal of this dance, how do you feel?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Shangguan Yun said freely and without even thinking about it: "This dance was originally made by the Yuling King. Whatever the Yuling King said, the ministers will change it."

Seeing the girl in front of him exuberant and full of vigor, Emperor Yuan Cheng laughed loudly and said, "Okay!"

"With such a talent and beauty, tonight is really a wedding banquet. If I don't personally issue the imperial decree, I will really live up to all these intentions—"

Having said that, Emperor Yuan Cheng glanced at the girl in front of the palace, then at Zhao Yi who was standing there, and blurted out: "In that case, I will—"

"His Majesty."
