Qingchuan History

Chapter 10 Seeing Ming Bo with Gordon's Vision

If a person pays special attention to a place, there are only two ways: go often, or never go.

Gu Xinglang was convinced of this.

There is more than one reason why I never go, it may be the timidity of being close to the hometown, or it may be that I know too much.How do you know where you are when you have never been to a place?Naturally, I have done my homework and even read it in other ways.In the Great Qi Palace, if you want to see a palace, you don't necessarily have to go to the gate of the palace, you just need to stand at a place high enough.For example, a high platform.

Such as Yuehuatai.

So at least it has something to do with Jizhao Pavilion.

If it's for this, Mr. Yin naturally has nothing to say, even Ji Ji can make sense.After all, who wouldn't want that thing?I just don't know what she wants to do if it's Jiji.

He looked up at the huge ebony window, the sky was as clear as blue.Suddenly a shallow shadow moved quickly from an extremely far and extremely high place, and when it got closer, it was vaguely visible that it was a big bird, shaped like a crane, with pink feathers all over its body, and it seemed to be emitting a faint luster.If you look closely, the flying speed of the big bird is as fast as lightning, and it suddenly disappeared from sight.

Finally saw it.Yunxi said that the bird had appeared three times so far, all at night, and it was not yet time, and it was so grandiose to swagger over the sky above the Daqi Palace.

That's right, this Fen Yuliu golden bird is only found in Pengxi Mountain, and when Ruan Xueyin came, it's not surprising that it appeared in Jidu, and it's not afraid of people seeing it.Speaking of which, no one has seen this kind of bird before. Five years ago, when Jing Tingge entered Cangwu, it first appeared in front of the world.

It is said that it is Jing Tingge's messenger who communicates with Pengxi Mountain on weekdays.The name Fenyuliujin was also chosen by the world based on its appearance. I don't know if the owner of the family is still satisfied.In the past, when this bird went back and forth between Pengxi Mountain and Cangwu City, it would only pass through the northwest of Daqi, and Jidu was in the east. Gu Xinglang had never seen it with his own eyes.

This is the first time.

Also because it will come, he has not been sure whether she is working for Yin Jun.It is said that Fenyuliu Jinniao is just a messenger between their master and apprentice.The people he placed in the palace of Suoning City kept sending back news, saying that they had never seen this bird before, so she should indeed have no contact with Mr. Yin.

Unless otherwise available.

But Yunxi said that apart from it, he has never seen similar functions, such as carrier pigeons.She hadn't even seen her write a letter.

This is also very strange.Even if she is only in contact with her teacher or junior sister, doesn't she need to write a letter?Could the bird retell?

Gu Xinglang has been praised for his talent since he was a child, but he himself is often not sure whether those are compliments or facts.His brain is really easy to use, and sometimes he says a word casually, even if it sounds ridiculous, it often hits the nail on the head.

The pink bird, which is nearly twice the size of the crane, landed on the west window sill, and the sunlight outlined its outline from behind. Its neck was slender, its lines were smooth, its plump wings were retracted, and its standing posture was perfect.The warm orange-pink color is very similar to the color of the sunset, and the tip of each pink feather is light gold, which is deep and shallow in the shadow of the sun at this moment, making people unable to help but imagine how it will be broken once it flaps its wings and flies A wonderful view of gold flowing in the air.

Fen Yu Liu Jin, a good name.While Ruan Xueyin was thinking, she had already reached the window, she stretched out her right hand to caress the pair of silky wings, and said with a smile, "How is it?"

The bird seemed not very interested, even a little downcast.It lowered its head slightly, raised it up after a while, and uttered a few syllables softly like a crane.

"That's it?" The smile in Ruan Xueyin's eyes disappeared, and she looked at it speechlessly.

The bird shook its head up and down, very similar to a human nodding.

Ruan Xueyin was short of breath: "From Jidu to Cangwu, it's tens of thousands of miles each time, it's not her bird, I really don't know how to feel bad."

The pink bird stretched its neck forward slightly and lightly touched her cheek with its beak, a little aggrieved but also relieved.

Ruan Xueyin thought for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "This matter will take time, and it is not appropriate to delay. You have to make another trip immediately." She was a little guilty, and raised her hand to pat the top of its head again: "After this flight, at least one month will not fly." Another long flight, I promise."

The bird nodded obediently, and looked at it seriously with a pair of small pitch-black eyes, as if remembering every word carefully.

"You tell her that what she said before going down the mountain has now been fulfilled. She owes me this favor, so she will repay it with this matter. Of course, it can't be as simple as just looking at a snow mark. Turning back, in the 22nd year of Gongqing, around the fourth day of May, for a total of one month, Fengting Pass and its ten-mile radius, I want all the clues that she thinks are valuable."

The pink bird was silent, as if evaluating the deal, only to hear Ruan Xueyin continue: "Don't worry, the favor is worthy of this request, and she can't refuse. If you really feel tired after handing over the words, you can rest in Cangwu for a few minutes." day."

After hearing this, the bird spread its wings and chirped softly. Ruan Xueyin nodded, "You too. Be careful all the way." Then the wings like sunset glow rose against the light, and disappeared into the clouds after a while.

From Jidu to Cangwu, although it is all the way to the north, it is early summer, and it has always been lush.It’s just that after leaving Jidu, there are not so many phoenix trees, and the plant types are more abundant; continuing to the north, the trees gradually become taller, the leaves gradually become smaller, and the types of vegetation are different from before.Until a large birch forest suddenly appeared, rustling under the scorching sun at the end of May, like a mighty army, roaring like a tsunami.

Cang Wu arrived.

Different from the blue bricks and blue tiles of the Daqi Palace, the palace of the Wei Kingdom has red walls and black tiles.Perhaps it is because the vegetation is not as rich as the Three Kingdoms in the south, and Cangwu City is full of cold and solemn white birch trees, so the craftsmen used brighter colors when designing the palaces and pavilions.

Cangwu is located in the south of Wei Kingdom, on a high ground. The palace is also built according to the rules of sitting north and facing south. Standing on the Chenxiang Terrace, you can overlook the entire southern border. When the weather is good, you can even vaguely see many towns in the north of Daqi and the northeast of Ying Kingdom. territory.

At one time, Chenxiang Terrace was only used by the monarch, and no one was allowed to climb it without purpose.But since the first year of Chonghe, besides the new Lord Murong Xun, there is another person who can freely enter and exit Chenxiang Terrace.It is the song of court competition.

Jing Tingge lives in the Wei Kingdom Palace, but not as a concubine, but as a counselor.

This has never happened in the 150-year history of Wei State, or even in the 300-year history of Qingchuan.The women who live in the palace are either concubines or servants, and at most they are female officials.But she was able to stand in the main hall and participate in the court's discussions, and it was just a courtesy to meet the current Prime Minister, because the four kings took over the heir, and finally Murong Xun came to the Kingdom of Wei in the end, and she was the first one.

Therefore, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, especially the civil officials, even though they have been discussing in private for two years, no one dared to say a word to the current emperor in the court: it is not in compliance with the rules.

After all, Jing Tingge's residence is far away from the area where the concubines live, and it is also far from the emperor's bedroom. If it is to avoid suspicion, the scene is impeccable.What's more, the woman who became the number one counselor of the Wei Kingdom at a young age didn't move around in the palace at all. There was only one place where she stayed most often, and that was Chenxiang Terrace.

Chenxiang Terrace is an entire empty platform, Cangwu is originally located on a high ground, the imperial palace is located on a high ground in Cangwu City, and Chenxiang Terrace is the highest place in the entire imperial palace.Such a large platform is not open to the air. There is a towering marble column every five meters, supporting the entire eaves on the Chenxiang platform, making the platform more like a widened promenade, or a rectangular one. pavilion.

She is always dressed in a smoky purple dress, standing between the two marble pillars in the center of the Chenxiang platform, shaking a feather fan very slowly in her hand.Because the distance is too far, the people in the city can never see where she is looking.I heard that the lupine is pink, and Mr. Jing is extremely beautiful.Sometimes she turned her body sideways and lowered her head slightly, it is said that she was looking at Qingchuan's mountain and river map.

Only very few people know that what she is looking at is not a map of mountains and rivers, but a plate of mountains and rivers.There are many people who draw mountains and rivers maps on this continent. It is not surprising that everyone has a map, but there is only one thing called a mountain and river plate.

"As I said, it's too early and I can't get up. I'll think about it when you move the morning to after Si o'clock."

At night, Murong Xun came to Chenxiang Terrace as usual, sometimes talking about the court affairs, sometimes just chatting.For the one hundred and first time, he mentioned that she should go to the morning court and hear for herself what nonsense those people were saying.

For the hundredth time, she said no.

The first time she went, she got up early in the morning, still dizzy, and stood in the hall to listen to those people's lectures with their own ghosts and emotions.Four kings fought for the heir, one died, one went crazy, and the remaining one, Murong Xun wanted to get rid of it, but was stopped by his mother and concubine under threat of death.Jing Tingge agrees that no future troubles will be left, but Murong Lin is the brother of one of his mother's compatriots, after all, two of them have been broken. If even the compatriots are not spared, it will be difficult to explain to the people of Wei Kingdom.

So Murong Ling's life was spared, and his title was also kept, and everything remained as usual.Now Murong Ling is still living in Su Wang's Mansion, but he has been closed for two years.King Shou was insane, and after two years of treatment, he did not get better. Sometimes he even went to the streets, chanting words, and now Wei Jun ordered to guard Shouwang's mansion strictly.

It's all good to say.What is even more difficult is the courtiers.

　Chonghe, the reign title of Murong Xun.
