bastard seizes tang

Chapter 219
"It's said that the river died in the Sui Dynasty, and today it has been thousands of miles away. If there is no dragon boat event in the water palace, Gong Yu's merits will not be much."

Ever since Li Ke boarded the ship in Luoyang, he went smoothly all the way, first to the east and then to the south, but it took more than three days to pass Yunzhou, which was much more convenient and labor-saving than riding a horse. Li Ke stood on the deck of the big ship. Looking at the boats passing by on the canal, I couldn't help but think of this song "Bianhe Nostalgia" in my mind, and read it softly.

Except for a few boatmen who were sailing on the deck, there was no one around Li Ke, and the only one accompanying Li Ke was Xuance, the Sima King of Chu Palace.

Wang Xuance listened to the poem slowly read out from Li Ke's mouth, first nodded his head, then frowned slightly, and said to Li Ke: "Your Highness's poem is quite good, but I'm afraid the idea is quite inappropriate."

Although the Grand Canal was built by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was recognized by the world as a fatuous and tyrannical king, and everyone abandoned him. However, the poems in Li Ke's mouth praised him a lot, so naturally Wang Xuance Feel wrong.

After leaving Chang'an, Li Ke felt much better, and Wang Xuance was his confidant, so Li Ke didn't have to be too cautious when speaking. Li Ke said to Wang Xuance: "Emperor Yang has conquered Korea three times, and he has patrolled the river. He is good at killing Zhongliang. Yes, the Daxing Palace is also a mistake, but how about the merits and demerits of building the canal, it has its own history to tell, but I don't know where the king's words are wrong?"

Since the death of Emperor Yangdi, comments on his merits and demerits have never been cut off inside and outside the court, especially the construction of the Grand Canal has mixed reputations, and it is difficult to judge good and evil. It is reasonable for Li Ke to say so.

However, the inappropriateness of what Wang Xuance said did not lie in Li Kezhi's words, but in Li Ke himself.

Wang Xuance said: "It's not wrong to say these words from other people, but His Highness's status is different from others, if His Highness's words are asked to be heard by others, it may cause trouble."

Listening to Wang Xuance's words, Li Ke naturally knew what Wang Xuance meant.

Li Ke's mother, the Yang family, was the daughter of the former Sui emperor, and Li Ke was the grandson of the former Sui Yang emperor, and she was of the royal blood of the two dynasties. If Li Ke's words were heard by serious people and spread, it would be really troublesome.

Li Ke is the son of Li Shimin, the prince of the dynasty. What Tang can give to Li Ke is absolutely what the former Sui Dynasty could not. Li Ke is not worried that someone will say that he cares about the former Sui Dynasty and intends to restore it, but if someone uses this to impeach him for not distinguishing between good and evil, Regardless of loyalty and traitor is enough to worry him.

Li Ke is not afraid of trouble, but it is better to avoid these bad things.

Li Ke said: "Mr.'s words are very true, but this king has lost his consideration."

Wang Xuance looked at the young man standing beside him, and a smile appeared on his worried face.

Wang Xuance paid homage to the palace when Li Keshang was a child, and now it has been seven years, four years in Turkic, three years in Chang'an, Wang Xuance almost watched Li Ke grow up step by step, until today.

Wang Xuance is the best at vertical and horizontal methods, peeping into people's hearts is his forte, and his understanding of Li Ke is second to none.

Although Li Ke is young, it is inevitable that sometimes he behaves with a youthful heart, but he can always have a humble heart, even when facing such an unknown person like him.

This is the quality of Li Ke's master in Wang Xuance's eyes, and it is also one of the reasons why Wang Xuance is willing to die.

Wang Xuance said: "Although His Highness's theory about the canal is not very wrong, it would be inappropriate for others to listen to it. Although His Highness traveled southward simply, there must be many people who know His Highness's whereabouts, so it is better to be cautious."

What Wang Xuance said was nothing more than worrying that Li Ke would relax his vigilance after leaving Chang'an, so he reminded him.

Li Ke heard the words, nodded and said: "What you said is very true."

Although Li Ke traveled southward in light clothes, thanks to Zhang Yuanyuan, at the Luoyang wharf that day, Zhang Yuanyuan actually put on a guard of honor as the governor of Luozhou to welcome him. As long as he is not a fool, no one knows that Zhang Yuanyuan is so grandiose Who is greeted.

Although the surface of the canal looks quiet at the moment, Li Ke knows that the news that he will arrive in Yangzhou soon has probably reached Jiangdu.

"Clang, clang, clang"

Li Ke was still thinking about this in his heart, when above the river, on the side of Li Ke's big boat, there was a melodious and melodious piano sound, which reached Li Ke's ears.

"At the beginning of my life, I did nothing. After I was born, Han Zuo declined. The inhumanity of the sky brought chaos and separation, and the inhumanity of the earth made me meet at this time. The roads are in danger, and the people are in exile. We mourn together. The smoke and dust cover the wild. Lu Sheng, sincerely obedient and loyal.”

This is the Guqin piece "Eighteen Beats of Hujia" composed by Cai Wenji, a talented woman in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although Li Ke is not a person who likes to enjoy music, he is no stranger to such a famous piece after being influenced by his ears and eyes.

"Good music, the player who plays the qin is very good at playing the qin. I didn't expect to hear such a qin sound on the river." A group of rich and powerful children mixed in the wine shop, but they developed a pair of good ears, listening to the sound of the piano in their ears, and said to Wang Xuance beside him.

Wang Xuance was a real qin master. He listened to the sound of the qin from above the river and Li Ke's praise, and said to Li Ke: "The sound of the qin is sad and melancholy. I am afraid that even a well-known qin master in Beijing may not be able to achieve this achievement."

Wang Xuance is good at playing the piano, and Wang Xuance has a very high evaluation of the sound of the piano. Li Ke couldn't help being interested in the person playing the piano, so Li Ke looked back in the direction where the sound came from. Sure enough, after the big ship Li Ke was on, A smaller flower boat was following behind them on the left.

Li Ke saw that there was a flower boat following them, so he asked Wang Xuance: "There is nothing wrong with traveling on the water, and my husband also likes the sound of the qin, so I invited the musicians in the boat to play a song on the boat, and sent him away." How's the time?"

Although this flower boat does not have a flag, ordinary people's boats will not be dressed like this. Most of this flower boat is ridden by brothel women. Since they are brothel women, it is not a problem for Li Ke to invite them to play a song for them. Nothing is impossible, so Li Ke said this.

"That's fine." Hearing Li Ke's words, Wang Xuance paused for a moment, and then replied with a look of excitement on his face.

Hearing this, Li Ke immediately told the boatman behind him who was holding the sail: "The music played on the flower boat behind is very good. You can quickly find someone to invite the person who plays the piano on the boat."

"Promise." Li Ke said something, and the boatman behind the sail was ordered to go down and invite someone.

It is inconvenient to move around on the water, so naturally it is not convenient to come by land, but fortunately Li Ke didn't wait too long, and the boatman who was sent to invite people brought him here in just a cup of tea, but the people who came were Li Ke was quite surprised.

Li Ke originally only thought that the person who came here was a musician who made a living by singing songs for others on this canal. He must not look very good, otherwise why would he have to work so hard, wandering on the canal every day and suffering, but when he was When the boatman appeared in Li Ke's eyes with a musician, Li Ke was stunned.

The woman's eyes are like a crescent moon, her eyebrows are like spring willows, she is wearing a light purple gauze dress that reaches the floor, a flower belt around her waist, and her hair is twisted into double rings to look at the fairy, and the hair hanging down her temples follows the light and fluttering corners of her clothes. Fluttering with the wind, she has a slender appearance and a fairy appearance, which greatly exceeded Li Ke's expectations.

"My fairy maiden pays her respects to the young master." The woman walked up to Li Ke and bowed her knees.
