The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 34

The moon in the west had gradually risen, the palace began to light lamps, and the banquet was coming to an end. The cups and dishes were messed up, and the ministers and princes returned to the mansion one after another, and hurriedly took their families to watch the lanterns.

King Yan is full of ambition now, when he watched the banquet, he saw that Gongsun Guifei was not happy, and he vaguely knew that it was because of Murong Han.All the ministers have already retired, and the concubines of King Yan have also retired together, and there are only a few people in the hall.

Na Cheng wanted King Yan to use the power of the wine to hug Gongsun Guifei, move his hands up and down, caressing her skirt, put his hand into the underwear, and opened the clothes with his powerful hands.Concubine Gongsun Gui was helplessly eaten by the King of Yan like a little bird and allowed to be ravaged by him. Although there were only maidservants and eunuchs, her face turned red in an instant.

Concubine Lan originally wanted to go out of the palace with Concubine Gongsun Gui, but at this time she hurriedly stepped forward to advise: "King Yan, it is better to enter the palace to rest for a while, it is quite inconvenient here." King Yan is going back to the palace to rest, but he needs to prepare another fragrant soup."

"Concubine Lan, what you say is very reasonable, no matter what." As he said, Yan Wangqiang hugged his concubine Gongsun and prepared to board the imperial chariot.

"Brother Wang, I have something important to play." King Yan was about to drive out of the palace with Concubine Gongsun, but was stopped by Murong Ping in a panic, and hurried into the car and said to King Yan.Unexpectedly, King Yan in the car was already in a hurry, Mrs. Gongsun had already taken off her coat, and she could see her skin in just one step. Murong couldn't help but plucked up her courage and said, "My brother apologizes, it is really urgent. The Shaofu secret report , Zuo Changshi Han Shou has a change, people come and go frequently, and a large number of people gather outside the border."

When the banquet was in full swing, Murong Ping just stood by the main hall and waited patiently, all of them were burned. Although he wanted to tell King Yan, he had no choice but to spoil King Yan's pleasure.

Now it was finally the end of the banquet, so I couldn't wait to go forward, but I didn't know to see this scene.

I don't know if King Yan drank too much, but he was disturbed by Murong Ping, he lost all interest, he wanted to have an attack, but he saw Murong Ping's expression was serious, this person is the best at observing words and expressions, and he heard that it was the "Secret Report of the Shaofu" that he wanted to decide There is something important.

So he said to Gongsun Guifei: "If you want to rest alone, you should step down and wait on you."

Turning around, he commented on Murong: "Follow me to the back courtyard."

Concubine Gongsun got out of King Yan's car slowly, and it happened that Concubine Lan's car was also beside her, so they sat in the car together, and the car moved forward slowly, Concubine Gongsun fell into Concubine Lan's arms, "My lord, this is Because of Murong Han's matter, humiliate me."

Lan Fei stroked her, "Sister, don't think too much."

Yan Wang Luan drove through the bustling and prosperous place outside, and arrived at the inner courtyard. The courtyard was really quiet. Yan Wang slowly sat down in a pavilion and ordered his attendants to fry tea. Yan Wang continued to play the unfinished chess game.

King Yan slowly read the report, Murong Ping was sitting on the sidelines uneasy, King Yan glanced at him, and said slowly: "Lonely, Han Shou is the chief deacon of this Shangyuan Festival, and all planning depends on Why is he suspicious?" After finishing speaking, he put the report aside and played chess in the courtyard by himself.

"Brother Wang, have you heard the story of the former traitor Murong Ren?"

"What do you mean, brother?" King Yan put away his son.

"Murong Ren was very powerful back then, and those who responded to him followed suit, all because he promised a high-ranking official and generous salary, and he was appointed to make a wish. Back then, Shi Zhao attacked our country of Yan, and the 36 cities that rebelled against the city were in danger."

"This is an old story, why do you worry about it?" King Yan didn't take it seriously, and finally left a son at Tianyuan.

"Before Xiangping was in danger, my younger brother came to Xiangping and learned that Murong Ren still had a list of internal responses to the incident. In Liaodong, there are so many people in Thorny City. If Murong's army had not crossed the sea and stepped on the ice back then, Murong's army rebelled and responded. "

King Yan couldn't sit still when he heard this, so he threw his son into the pot and listened carefully to what he had to say.

On the day of suppressing the rebellion before, I heard from the captives that if it wasn't for God's will, Murong Ren would have taken the high position early, and Murong Hao won the position by chance. At that time, I only thought it was the benefit of the defeated general , I didn't expect it to happen.

The King of Yan looked at Tian Yuan's son on the chessboard, and suddenly asked: "The matter of judging my younger brother is of great importance. The city of Thorns is the lifeblood of the country. If there is no conclusive evidence, the country of Yan may be in turmoil."

King Yan looked at Murong Ping at the side, and suddenly changed his expression, "Brother Ping, Gu Su knows that you are greedy for money and have no tolerance for others. If the Murong family wants to calm the world, if they don't have a broad mind, how can the world be attached to the Yan Kingdom. "

"Brother Wang is magnanimous, but the subject is not as good, but what I say is the truth, I hope Brother Wang will learn from it." Murong Ping did not argue, just bowed his head.

"Crack." King Yan took out a stack of secret reports from the side of the case, "You did a good job. In the battle of Xiangping, you killed Cui Yi without permission, and in the battle of destroying Yuwen. How much wealth and goods have you sold in private? There is also Song Gai, who is only greedy for some cloth and satin. Human morality is low, morality is corrupt, if there is no orphan, wouldn't you want to sell your official title wantonly."

"Your Majesty the King of Yan, although the ministers and younger brothers are greedy, they are all taken from the rebels. The people on the border of Liaodong are generally harmless to our country of Yan. Although there are occasional violent actions, but in today's world of great struggle, what is fighting is military power, as well as money and food. If there is no additional income, the army may be overstretched, brother Wang can learn from it."

The King of Yan just sneered, "Fortunately, you still think of my country of Yan. I don't know how much you have enriched yourself."

During the conversation, Uncle Ping came and whispered to King Yan quietly, and got a secret report.

King Yan sent an order to submit the secret report quickly.King Yan opened the secret letter and unfolded it.However, King Yan's brows gradually tightened, and his expression was stern, like a dark cloud covering his face.

"Crack." Throwing the secret letter on Murong Ping's forehead, Murong Ping was shocked, and hurriedly bowed his head regardless of the pain.

"You did a good job." King Yan was furious.

Murong Ping got up, picked up the secret report, and read it carefully.The Shaofu's secret report has spied on his corruption of ink back then, and now the evidence of Xiangping's murder of Cui Yi is in the hands of Murong Han.

In addition, the matter of the list has now been confirmed. Han Shou took advantage of the deacon of Shangyuan to secretly send people into Thorn City.

"I regret that I shouldn't have used it, Han Shou." King Yan stood up and said angrily, facing Murong Ping, "I shouldn't have used you!"

"Brother Wang, brother Wang, my ministers were confused for a moment, that Cui Yi was bullying others with his power, and that Xiangping garrison was almost his own part, his words were arrogant, it was unbearable."

"You still have the face to say that it will cause a mutiny." Yan Wang clenched his fists and hammered heavily at the desk.

"Brother Wang, if Murong Han has any objections to the current matter, his situation will be in danger." Murong Ping was well aware of the danger at this time, and he didn't care about etiquette, he directly climbed to the side of King Yan's throne.

King Yan sat down, thought for a long time and said: "Then Song Bin is really useful, I have already found out that the fate of the matter lies with my brother Han, he has not yet secretly linked up with people from Liaodong, so he quickly sent someone to invite Murong Han into the palace. "

"The king of Yan is above, and the minister will arrange knives and axes to ambush in the hall, throw cups as a sign, and capture them in one fell swoop."

"You are the most expert at using traitors to assassinate. Gu will use it on his own brothers after all." King Yan sighed.

Thorn City, Murong Han's Mansion
"Woo." Murong Han held the rein tightly, trying to get on the horse for the first time after recovering from his injury, worried that the arrow sore would burst, got on the horse and rode, and walked a few steps slowly.

"Uncle Wang, this horse looks like this." Murong Ba and Duan Xian looked at Uncle Wang riding the horse together by the courtyard.

Although Murong Han was not among those invited, he had no intention of doing so at all, and since he had just recovered from his trauma, he also wanted to rest more in the residence.I don't want Murong Ba to have never attended the banquet, but I am very happy to bring Duan Xian and Liangma here.

"Bao's Cong, which is comparable to the former king, it's rare that this thing can touch people's hearts, it can be called a BMW horse." Murong Han dismounted, touched the horse's neck, and liked it very much.

"Uncle Wang said this, this horse is very suitable for you, and my nephew is relieved. This horse, is it thanks to Miss Duan?"

"Oh, good horses are hard to find, so how do you do it?" Murong Han looked at Duan Xian at the side, and said with a smile, "Where does this 'thank you' come from?"

Seeing this, Murong Ba hurriedly said: "The so-called thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not often exist. Miss Duan has the eyes to recognize horses, so she can be called Bole."

"My lord was joking, but at the market, I saw a horse consigned from the city of Yuwen, and seized Shan Yu's supplies. I saw the tall horse, and heard the sound of the horse wailing, and I couldn't help feeling sorry for it. Take a closer look at it. But I saw this: the horse's head was as tall as a shaved one, its eyes were as big as a pendant bell, its ears were like a cut bamboo, and its muzzle was long and bright. I couldn't help being very surprised. The horse seemed to understand my meaning, and suddenly neighed and raised its hooves. But it is a thousand-mile steed." Duan Xian stepped forward, stroking the neck of the horse and said, "A good horse gallops a thousand miles, why bother to die in a stable. The coachman doesn't know you, but I do."

"I didn't expect Miss Duan to have the ability to look after horses." Murong Han was very happy in his heart, his nephew knew a girl like this, this girl is not only beautiful in appearance, but also intelligent, he couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

"My Duanbu Old City Lingzhi, in the hometown of Yanzhao, has always been a popular horse market. I learned the "Xiangma Jing" in the Duanbu Old Palace, and the Yuwen tribe always produces good horses, so I can't help but pay attention to it."

"If you don't get Bole, you will be able to reach thousands of miles. A girl knows a horse with her eyes, and she knows people with her eyes." After finishing speaking, Murong Han turned his head to look at Murong Ba at the side, and then at the old lady Duan, but the two of them also I am very sorry.

"Uncle Wang, a good horse deserves a hero. In the battle of Ping Yuwen, there were no good horses to find after the snowy mountains. Uncle Wang is a hero of the Yan Kingdom, so he should have a majestic mount."

"Since that's the case, then I would like to offer you kindness, and I appreciate it." After speaking, Uncle Wang led the horse and ran back and forth in the courtyard. The horse also barked and neighed as if it had become human.

"General, outside the tent, there is an old man from Liaodong asking to see him with a gift, to comfort the general." The old servant of the mansion came.

"Let me take a rest for a while, and see you in the inner room."

"Uncle Wang, your reputation spreads far and wide across the country. This is the Shangyuan Festival, and the soldiers in Liaodong are all dependent on the general. In this case, my nephew will resign."

"Nephew, it doesn't hurt to listen, you can also refer to it"

But seeing Murong Ba and Duan Xian looking back at each other and smiling.

Murong Han slapped his head, "Oh, I forgot, the Lantern Festival, this city of Thorns is very lively now, I have nothing to entertain you, good times are hard to come by, go quickly."

"Thank you Uncle Wang."

Duan Xian followed suit, "Thank you uncle."

After saying that, the two hurried out of the house one after the other, fearing that they would not be able to catch up with the bustling market after it was over.

Nowadays, in the markets of the northern country, the folk customs of the Central Plains are also prevalent.Marching into the market, suddenly people gathered in front of a place.It turned out that someone was performing a puppet show.

"Murong Ba, come here." Duan Xian shouted, and Duan Xian pulled him to find a high place.

The two stood still and looked forward. It turned out to be "The Peacock Flies Southeast" performed by the people of Jin.

Among the troupe, some were performing on the stage, some were playing musical instruments, and some sang in harmony, "The peacock flies southeast and wanders five miles and one. Thirteen can weave, and fourteen learns to tailor clothes. Fifteen plays the harp." , Sixteen reciting poems and books. Seventeen is a gentleman's wife, and my heart is always bitter."

The judge below asked, "But why?"

"Oh, young master, don't be impatient, but let's keep watching." The people on the stage shouted.

"You Jin people are troublesome, unlike us Yan people, who love you if you love them." The guard looked around and booed.

Haha, there was a burst of laughter from the audience

Murong Ba and Duan Xian also laughed.

"Everyone, the excitement is yet to come." The singer asked everyone to be calm.

Everyone was silent when they heard the words, but only heard that the singer sang vividly, and the puppet performers on the stage also performed vividly.Everyone's emotions are turbulent with the development of the plot.

"I will not drive you away, but force you to have a mother. You will return home temporarily, and I will report to the government now. When I return it soon, I will welcome you back. With this intention, be careful not to violate my words." The singer mourns It is true that the listener also feels sympathy.

"I will die today, my soul will be gone and my corpse will stay forever!" She took off her skirt, took off her silk shoes, and went to Qingchi. "The song the singer sang was about Liu Lanzhi drowning to death, and suddenly a woman among the crowd wept secretly.

Duan Xian also held Murong Ba tightly.

"When the government officials heard about this, they knew that they would be parted forever. They wandered under the tree in the courtyard and hung themselves on the southeast branch." Jiao Zhongqing also died with Liu Lanzhi.

Murong Ba also hugged Mr. Duan tightly, for fear of losing her, he was unwilling to separate for a long time.

"The branches and branches cover each other, and the leaves and leaves communicate with each other. There are two flying birds, who call themselves mandarin ducks. They raise their heads and sing at each other, up to five o'clock every night. Pedestrians stop to listen, and the widow starts to hesitate. Thank you to the future generations, and don't forget to be cautious. "Singer, let's sing, there is no sound for a long time, the lingering sound lingers, and everyone's hearts are hard to calm down.Then suddenly one person in the crowd shouted "Cai", and everyone cheered.

But the person performing the puppet show said: "We have just arrived in Baodi, thank you for your support. The villain has no long-term possessions, but is good at making puppet masks and small accessories. Gifted scholars, beauties, princes, generals, ghosts and rakshas are all good at it. Ladies and gentlemen all give a small amount of money occasionally, we will make a little money for Lu Feier, and if we are lucky enough to be appreciated by everyone, there will be Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin in the future to serve the lords."

On the occasion of this festive season, everyone saw this person's sincere words, and this great festival could not refute people's face.And on the day of Shangyuan, there were mostly men and women in the crowd, and everyone rose up one after another, choosing what they wanted.

One person came over with a mask, "Young Master, Madam is beautiful, why don't you choose one."

"Pfft, you really know how to joke, I'm not his wife, how can I be so talented as Murong Ying?" Duan Xian hid his face and laughed.

"Oh, stop talking nonsense." Murong Ba lightly tapped her little nose with his hand, but Duan Xian closed his eyes to enjoy it.I saw Duan Xian's crescent eyebrows and blushes on both cheeks, Murong Ba liked it very much.Who would have thought that he pinched her nose but refused to let it go, Duan Xian was furious and opened his eyes to talk about him, but his eyes were red and his lips were red.It only caused others to smile.

"My lord, Madam has a beautiful appearance, I can't describe her beauty like a fish or a wild goose, she is three points better than Xizi. In my opinion, that Huansha Xizi mask is perfect." The troupe inspected his appearance and said to Murong Ba.

"In that case, then get me one." After saying that, Murong Ba was about to hand over the money.

"Hey, wait a minute, who said that women must bring beauties, let me tell you, women can also make meritorious deeds, get Guan Yunchang's for me."

"I say you, this red one is so ugly." Murong Ba was displeased.

"Murongba, in today's troubled times, men all want to make contributions on the battlefield, why do women like me sit in the boudoir? Even if I can't be as righteous as the clouds grow, and the clouds and sky shake the sea, I would like to choose a virtuous lord to help me succeed. Wang Baye." After Duan Xian finished speaking, he took out the money and gave it to that person, and walked forward with his mask on, turning his head and saying to Murong Baye: "If you find me, I will be yours." Fan Ji of Chuzhuang."

"I really can't do anything about you." After speaking, Murong Ba went to look for her in the crowd.
