Chapter 92 Su Gui's Old Dream Weeps (Part 2)
Even when the young master was happy to show his feelings in the palace of Linzi, Qi, thousands of miles away, Lu Dao, the Duke of Qi who had just ascended the throne for a year, was also happy to show his feelings in the palace of Linzi, Qi.
He lost his father last year and is still in his recession for three years this year. He is not allowed to drink alcohol, but the Duke of Qi Lu Dao was drinking happily. He looked at the dancer below and praised him loudly.
The country has attacked Qi in this year, and the Three Jins have broken the Great Wall of Qi. Yue is as aggressive as a tiger. The Tian family is fighting each other in civil strife.
In theory, even if you drink, you should sigh and cry. But the Duke of Qi Lu Dao seemed to care about those things at all, and only care about whether the dancer below had any wrong steps and body movements.
At least, it looks like this.
When Tian He asked for a meeting, the Duke of Qi asked Tian He to sit by and watch, drinking and talking.
The Duke of Qi picked up an exquisite bronze lord and did not talk about the state and political affairs, but said: "The fine wine you offer is really top-notch! It is both pure and strong. Those who can drink a stone will be drunk now and will be unconscious if you drink only three or five cups. These ink masters only exchange for a stone of wine like this, and they really get it! Come on, I will drink a few cups with me!"
Tian He coughed lightly, and the musicians next to him stopped without waiting for the orders of the Duke of Qi.
The Duke of Qi seemed not to care and just asked, "Why did you stop? I was about to drink more!"
Tian He stood casually opposite the Duke of Qi and said, "The Jin people sent silk books, saying that Longze killed 30,000 people in Qi in a battle. He could not bear to see these people in Qi that could not return home after their death, so he was willing to return to his body."
The Duke of Qi said: "This is a good thing, so it should be done. You just need to do it."
Tian He sighed. "But if you collect the corpse, it will take money. Now there is a disaster in the country. Please don't drink and have fun anymore, save money to collect the corpses of soldiers..."
When the Duke of Qi seemed to hear that he was not allowed to enjoy himself, he looked a little unhappy and frowned and said, "This... the person is dead, and it is useless to take back the corpse. Besides, if the relatives see these corpses, they will inevitably be heartbroken... Since it is a waste of money, I don't think it is necessary. This may be the plan of the Jin people, in order to consume the money of our country's treasury!"
Tian He received the order: "Since the king said this, then do this. There is another thing. Now the Jin people have broken the Great Wall and there is no danger to defend. The Yue people attacked fiercely, and Xiang Ziniu rebelled, which was difficult to hinder... I also asked the king to seek peace with the King of Yue. I am a minister, not a marquis, so I came forward to disagree with the courtesy. Otherwise, I really couldn't bear to be exhausted by the emperor."
The Duke of Qi only asked: "How can the people of Yue retreat?"
"Please ask the emperor to drive a car with the King of Yue to be subdued. Then ced the two towns of Jianyang and Juling to the people of Yue. These two towns were originally the fiefs of the traitor Xiang Ziniu. It is not allowed to migrate the common people of Jianyang Juling, and they must stay in the local area to plant them with the King of Yue. In addition, three thousand people of Qi are slaves, and the King of Yue will also withdraw his troops."
The Duke of Qi nodded, and seemed to remember something, and asked quickly: "But go to drive for the King of Yue, wouldn't you leave the palace? I can't stand the bumps along the way. But it would be wonderful if I could bring these dancers on the way. You will arrange to prepare more liquor sold by the ink masters."
Seeing that the Duke of Qi did not ask about slaves and Jianyang, but asked how he could not be boring along the way. He was very satisfied, and said a few more words and gave in.
However, the Duke of Qi asked Tian He to drink more cups with him, which was also called drums and music, and Tian He refused to leave.
Not long after, the concubine who was most favored by the Duke of Qi suddenly said, "Your favorite sword dance is my favorite. Today I have a good wine, so I will dance a song."
The woman who speaks is gentle but beautiful, crisp and beautiful, and has a charming figure.
This woman is most favored by the Duke of Qi. She was originally a Yue person, so she was called Yue girl. She followed her as early as when the Duke of Qi was not the Duke of Qi but was just a prince.
Most Yue women were good at dancing swords. In the past, Fan Li once said, "I heard that there was a virgin in Yue. He came from the Nanlin and the people in the country praised him for being good. I hope the king would like to ask him for it and see him immediately." The King of Yue then sent an envoy to hire him and asked about the technique of swords and halberds.
The Duke of Qi seemed to have some worries. If a Yue woman dances a sword on her usual days, he would appreciate it, but for some reason today, he seemed a little absent-minded.
But he looked up at the close servants sent by the Tian family beside him, and immediately covered the slightly dullness on his face, and smiled roughly: "Okay! Come on, take the show sword!"
But the Yue girl said, "Why do you need to show your sword when the foreign enemy attacks? Just use the sword of the armored soldiers to dance!"
After saying that, he turned around and took out a bronze sword from the waist of the armored soldier beside him.
The Yue girl stood with a sword, her graceful figure and short sword in her hand were really cool and heroic.
She stood there freely, and the musician was about to prepare for the song of the sword dance, but the Yue girl said, "The dance today is not necessary!"
The Duke of Qi was stunned, but immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I will follow you!"
The Yue girl glanced at the Duke of Qi, shook her wrist, pulled out the bronze sword, and stabbed it in the air. Her crisp voice was not accompanied by drum music, and she sang: "It is obviously lower, but it is above. Heaven is hard to be sincere, and it is not easy to be the king. The heaven is in a good position, so it is not easy to carry all directions."
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone in the palace was shocked. This was a poem of great elegance, and it was not sung by sacrifices. This poem was about King Wu's attack on King Zhou.
The Duke of Qi seemed to not understand, and saw the Yue girl sing a sentence, and the bronze sword stabbed forward.
It is clearly in the lower part and above, and the two lines are sung, with a respectful figure and consistent with the poetic meaning, so it is a kind of respect for heaven and earth.
Heaven is hard to be sincere, and it is not easy to be Wei. Two sentences are sung, and the sword intent is at a loss. It seems that although the heart of heaven and earth is really difficult to understand, the world is at a loss.
When I sang the King of Buyiwei, the heavenly throne was in a good position, and when I did not hold the four directions, I changed the confusion just now, and looked around with a short sword, from the original lack of understanding of the will of heaven to the unbelieving of the will of heaven, full of confidence.
This first paragraph is sung, and the body dances. Although it is not in line with this situation and is not the time for sacrifice, it also makes people in the palace secretly admire it.
This song and dance used for sacrifices is enough to attract people's attention by relying on this Yue woman alone.
When singing "The journey of the Shang Dynasty, the meeting was like a forest. The arrows were in Muye, Wei Yuhou Xing. God came to his daughter, and he had no other intentions." The sword of Yue's daughter danced faster and faster, which made everyone present think of the scene of black clouds hitting the city when the storm was about to come in summer. I am afraid that there would be thunder and thunder in the next moment.
The more girl's figure is getting faster and faster, and her voice is singing higher and higher.
When we sang the words "Makino Yang, the chariots are brilliant, and the sound of "Sheng Che" Peng Peng" became even sharper. We even sang a few lines of gold and copper intersecting, just like the horn flute played before the war. The hearts of everyone present seemed to be pulled into a line by the singing sound.
The dancing posture is not as fast as before, but it is more determined than before. Every move makes people feel as if the mountain is about to overwhelm.
When everyone was wondering if the pulled thread was about to break, the Yue girl sang "Master Wei Shangfu, Shi Wei Yingyang"!
Some of the soldiers who had climbed Mount Tai had walked around Mount Tai again in their minds, looking at the Yue girl's figure and listening to the singing tunes.
There was originally the last sentence of Liang Bi Wu King, who attacked the Shang Dynasty and went to Qingming Festival, but he didn't expect that the voice of Yue Girl would end suddenly.
Everyone's heart suddenly tugged, and they suddenly felt that the thread hanging in their hearts had broken. But they didn't expect that the Yue Nv stopped singing the previous article, but directly sang the highest-toned sentence "Wei Shi Shangfu, Shi Wei Yingyang".
After three sentences and sighing, the short sword in his hand was like the eagle flag on the former Taigong Wang car.
After singing the three sentences, the Yue girl was standing in front of her sword and stopped singing the last paragraph. The sweat beads on her face rolled down, and the copper sword in her hand shone. Looking at the Duke of Qi who was a little dazed by the side, she shouted: "Your Majesty is the descendant of Taigong Wang! When he was attacking Zhou, Taigong Wang personally took a chariot and waved the eagle flag. How brave is it?"
"It is said that husbands should be lofty in their work, but now they do not have the slightest demeanor of being too proud?"
"What flows on you is the blood of Taigong Wang, who assisted King Wu to stabilize the world; it is the blood of Duke Huan who was the nine princes who respected the king and expelled the barbarians in the past; it is the blood of Duke Jing from Yan Yingwu and Sima Rangju in the daytime!"
"What am I seeing now? It is the Hunhou who only knows how to have fun, the coward who does not care about the bleeding of the Chinese people, and the fool who is played with by the Tian clan!"
"In the past, you were a young master and still had the courage to make me respect and love, but now? Since you are a marquis, why are you not as good as when you were a young master?"
"You have changed, and I don't want to see such a husband again! My husband is not as good as a woman in his actions! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Why not see! Why not see!"
I just said three words in a row. I stabbed the sword hard in front of my neck, and the blood was immediately left, and it was then dissipated.
The guards' faces all changed.
It’s not because of the blood seen in the palace that Qi State often coups, and they have seen more blood.
The reason why they changed color was because the last thing the Yue woman said was a big deal, so we must inform everyone in the Tian family!
This Yue girl is so brave, she is clearly trying to incite the emperor to rebel!
Several close servants looked at the Duke of Qi secretly, but saw the Duke of Qi staggeringly, running to the side of the deceased Yue girl, and suddenly burst into tears.
When the nearby servant saw the Lord of Qi in pain, he was shocked and thought to himself, "Your Majesty, you are indeed rebellious!"
Unexpectedly, the Duke of Qi cried and said, "Your sword dance is the best, why did you die like this? Where can I watch such sword dance in the future? I originally wanted to take you to form an alliance with King Yue, wouldn't I be boring if you die? What do you know, a woman? Destiny has changed. In the past, Huangdi defeated Emperor Yan and King Wu defeated King Zhou of Shang. These are all destiny."
"The destiny is unpredictable, how can human power violate it..."
He cried a few more times, saying things like destiny, and saying things like that, and it would be boring to see such a dance again. He immediately drank three glasses of strong wine, and seemed to be drunk.
When I was drunk and unconscious, I was still saying that there was something about the hardships of heaven and the power of mankind, and it was difficult to see such sword dance again in the future.
I have close servants who keep these things in mind and report them to Tian.
The Duke of Qi only said that he wanted to see things and think of others, so he left behind the sword that the Yue girl committed suicide.
At night, the closest servants reported what happened today to the Tian brothers.
Tian Hao asked Tian He: "What do you think about this matter? Is Lu Dao doing this true or false?"
Tian He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether it is true or false. He is afraid that we will beg us for suspicion or that we will take our anger on him, and isn't he begging us for mercy?"
Tian Hao was puzzled, and Tian He explained: "Huangdi is better than Yandi, this is the destiny of heaven. The destiny of heaven cannot be violated. How can the close servants understand it? This is for us. Taigong Wang is the descendant of Yan Emperor, and you and I are the descendant of Huangdi, and replace it with the destiny of heaven."
After Tian He said this, Tian Hao immediately understood the meaning of the Duke of Qi. Whether the Duke of Qi was really completely relieved, to cover up his thoughts, or to worry that the incident of the Yue woman caused the Tian family to be unhappy, the Huangdi Yan Emperor's saying is a real good thing.
There is no theory of the five elements in this situation, and no one can completely explain the destiny of heaven. The Duke of Qi said this, giving Tian a great opportunity.
Nowadays, everyone is saying that the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei have obtained the Three Jiahes and follow the destiny of heaven; if someone can find someone to sort out the destiny of heaven, it is also a beautiful story for the Tian family to destiny of heaven.
Since the three generations of abdicated, we can do the abdication first, and then ask the Emperor Zhou to follow the decree of heaven to be named Tian as a marquis.
Jiang Shang is a descendant of Emperor Yan; and the Chen surname is also based on Emperor Huang. Huang Emperor defeated Emperor Yan, and the Chen Dynasty Jiang was in line with the destiny of heaven.
If you search for Confucian scholars and alchemists again and find out the theory of the destiny and virtue of the cycle of reincarnation, you will no longer worry!
As for the fact that several countries attacked Qi, it was a trivial matter in the eyes of the Tian brothers. The Three Jins did not have such a big appetite to destroy Qi, at most it was to gain reputation and seek title to be a marquis.
The two brothers agreed on this matter, regardless of whether the attitude of the Duke of Qi was true or false. Since they were tactful, they did not have to regard it as if he wanted to rebel. They just believed him and chopped the Yue girl who was talking nonsense into meat sauce and fed it to the dog.
In the slept, the Duke of Qi, who seemed to have been drunk before, looked at the sword that was still stained with fragrant blood, and murmured: "The thing I hate most in my life is not that Tian bullies me, but that you cannot let you know my thoughts before you die."
"The Tian family has achieved its power, the Guo family, Gao family, and Yan family have all been destroyed. Nine out of the ten cities of Qi belong to the Tian family, and they also use the strategy of inviting the people to the fiefdoms and destroy the strategies of officials and mountains and seas. Even if I have the intention, what can I do?"
"In the past, Duke Jian was just dissatisfied and was chased and killed by Tian's family. What can I do? Tian Chang was buried and accompanied by nine tripods, and everyone in the world knew it. What? Duke Jian died was a monarch, but what was the shock of the princes? What's the use of Zhongni's anger? Now the Confucian scholars still serve Tian's family?"
"Several countries attacked Qi, but the Three Jins took the opportunity to be granted a marquis and found a case. I, the King of Qi, would come forward to ask the Emperor of Zhou to be granted a marquis as a marquis, and prepare for the Tian family to replace me, Jiang Qi in the future. The life and death of tens of thousands of people is just a play. Does anyone really care?"
"Ambition, ambition, where can I still have it? I just want to live like this in this life. If Tian family really can take Qi in the future, this Qi will be their country after all. They will always treat the people well. They will not send thousands of Qi people as slaves to the King of Yue like now, nor will they not even buried the bodies of soldiers and take them back just to make Qi people call me stupid..."
"The corpse collection matter, male and female slaves, driving with the King of Yue... If I don't even understand what this is for, I will be in vain to live in my destiny."
"Forget it... Since you come from Yue, if I am expelled one day in the future, I will only ask the Tian family to do one thing... not to attack Yue. This is the only thing I can do. When we meet in the future, we will tell you my thoughts. At that time, Taigong, Huangong, Jinggong... what will the ancestors of the thirty generations look on me?"
"I will keep this sword and be buried with me when I die... I just don't want to die."
The lonely half-old man muttered to himself, wiped away his tears, squeezed out his laughter, and waited for the rest of his fun tomorrow, as a foolish lord who only knew peace and happiness had completely forgotten Taigong's bloodline and his predecessors' glory.
He no longer dared to do those old dreams of his ancestors, but only hid the tears that were not discovered, and the once glorious bloodline that he had always wanted to forget.
The blood that the old nobles were about to shed, and the tears that the old nobles shed at this moment were silently proclaiming the fact that an era of chaos and change was coming.
