Chapter 141: The Emperor's Love
When Xiao Yun heard the story, he saw Lu Chuchu's eyes lit up, and Xiaodie and Axue looked even more expectant. Axue said: "What story is it? Mr. Zhao, tell me!"
Zhao Huan wanted this effect. Hearing Axue and Xiaodie's constant urging, there was still a place to talk about it. Xiao Yun also happened to want to listen to the story behind the poem engraved by the Tartar Emperor on the stone tablet. He smiled and said, "Yes, since there is a story, Mr. Zhao might as well tell it, so that it can increase the interest of the journey, right?"
Zhao Huan nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! Xiao Shaoxia said very well!" As he said that, he coughed twice, and then he told the whole story. It turned out that in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Renzong, who was appointed as the throne by his brother Emperor Wuzong, passed away. His son Yingzong succeeded to the throne. Wuzong's two sons were excluded and persecuted by the court respectively. The second son Tutemur was demoted to Hainan Island. After the helpless young Tutemur came to Hainan, he endured humiliation and suffered three miserable autumn and winters. At that time, the Ding'an boundary included Wanquan River.
Visiting the northern region. The head of the cave in the south of Ding'an, named Wang and Guan, was deeply sympathetic to Prince Tutemur's experience and gave him various care in life. The king's head often accompanied Tutemur to Duohe to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery and simple customs of Hainan Island. He tried every means to make the prince have fun and tried every means to relieve his sorrow and boredom. It was during this period that the story of seeking true love in the poem "There is no good fruit in the south, and the price of green plums is also high."
When she learned that Tutemur was looking for his past love, the king was particularly enthusiastic about planning for this matter and "distributed 300 gold to hire Qingmei". The woman named Qingmei, who was pursued by Prince Tutemur, was the maid of Chen Lianheng, the commander of Xuanwei, the commander of the Ministry of Hainan, Haibei. She had already engaged to the army with Shenyan, and did not envy wealth and honor, and refused to marry the prince who later ascended the throne. As the prince was prince, Tutemur begged for a humble maid but failed. However, he had a noble personality and did not want to force others with power, so he had to write a poem to laugh at himself, and let go north to return to the court with regret, and finally achieved this story that has been sung forever!
Later, after becoming emperor, Tutemur did not forget the love of Ding'an, Hainan. He thought about it: Wanquan River is far away from the sky, and it is a rare opportunity to go south and revisit again in this life. It would be better to find a river similar to her near Dadu and also named this river "Wanquan River". In this way, he could visit the "Wanquan River" that he had been thinking about day and night, which was equivalent to really returning to the warm river on Hainan Island... So, he thought of the Qing River behind Dadu, so he named the southern tributary of the Qing River Wanquan River. This "Qing Plum Poem" was written by Emperor Wenzong of Yuan Dynasty. Because Emperor Wenzong of Yuan Dynasty attached great importance to literati during his reign, and later literati were grateful to him, he passed on this story. Zhao Huan happened to hear it, so he used it to show off.
Zhao Huan said for a long time and finally finished the story. Looking back, Lu Chuchu's eyes were just brighter, but she didn't show any expression, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Xiaodie and A Xue looked yearning, and only saw Xiao Yun secretly and screamed that it was not good. He knew: "If I hadn't told the same story, I'm afraid that Zhao Huan's beautiful influence would be considered to be in the minds of these two girls?" He snorted coldly: "Hey, isn't it a copy of the story of the prince and Cinderella? Everyone in my hometown knows it, and nothing else?"
Zhao Huan was already in a low mood. When he heard Xiao Yun's tone was quite contemptuous, he snorted: "Listen to the words of Young Master Xiao, the story of the prince and Cinderella must be very exciting? Why not tell me it?"
Xiao Yun was just talking casually, but he didn't expect Zhao Huan to say this. Xiaodie and Axue, and even Lu Chuchu, glanced at Xiao Yun at this moment. Xiao Yun didn't expect it and smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing new. It's similar to Mr. Zhao, about the same thing? It's better not to say it."
"Hmph, some people obviously can't say it, but they have to pretend to be profound, which makes people feel annoying!"
Before Lu Chuchu finished speaking, Xiaodie and Axue were unhappy. The two women united the front and counterattacked: "Brother Xiao is not pretending to be a master. Brother Xiao just didn't say it, afraid...?"
"What are you afraid of? If you have the ability, just say something?" Lu Chuchu was so reluctant to give in.
Zhao Huan seemed very satisfied with Lu Chuchu's attitude, and smiled at Xiao Yun and said, "It's rare to have this opportunity today. Xiao Shaoxia actually has a story, so why not tell me it!"
What Xiao Yun didn't like most was Zhao Huan's face that was smiling and silly. After hearing what he said, he could still hold it back. He laughed and said, "Since my Xiaodie and Axue want to hear it, Brother Xiao will be reluctant to let it go, so I'll talk!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I love Brother Xiao telling stories the most?" A Xue clapped her hands and said with a smile.
Xiao Yun then told the story of Cinderella and the prince in detail. He was good at telling stories, and each girl had a Cinderella dream. After telling this story, A Xue, Xiaodie, and Lu Chuchu were so intoxicated that he still remembered the story of the Tartar Emperor.
As soon as Xiao Yun finished speaking, Lu Chuchu sighed and said, "If a prince gave me such a pair of crystal shoes, I would marry him!" As soon as this was said, Xiao Yun knew in his heart that Zhao Huan had no chance, otherwise this sentence should have been changed to: "Young Master Zhao, when will you give me a pair of crystal shoes?"
Zhao Huan did not expect Xiao Yun to tell such a wonderful story, and snorted coldly, but did not dare to underestimate Xiao Yun. He took the lead in walking towards Qifeng Cave. Xiao Yun smiled and followed Xiaodie and Axue all the way. The group was almost at Qifeng Cave. At this moment, Zhao Huan ran all the way, and Qifeng Cave was in front of him.
But I saw a wooden statue of Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Bodhisattva in the cave. There is a small hole in the west wall of the cave, and a clay-sculpted Bodhisattva's "body" sitting statue at the entrance of the cave. There is a small hole behind the cave, which is deep and mysterious. On the top of the cave, there is a Baixia path on the left, from bottom to top, and it looks like Bailian, so it is called Bailong; on the right, there is a Qingxia path on the right, which is like clouds and smoke, so it is called Qinglong. The two dragons wind and coil to the intersection of the cave's top and spit water. The sound is cold and the lower part is formed into a pool, which is called "Tianji Shengqiu". The water is clear and fragrant, refreshing. There are three pillars of the Buddha Hall in front of the cave, with iron tiles, long pavilions, carved beams and painted roads, and golden and blue. The peaks on the middle of the cave are about three feet high, and they are all made of egg-shaped stones, with different colors and majestic. The west of the cave is Zhunti Courtyard, which is a monk's house. There was a jade seal, all transparent, with white fat like a dragon in the middle, which was said to be the jade seal of King Miaozhuang.
The group went up to Qifeng Cave. Xiaodie and Axu were women after all. I heard that the Thousand-Handed Thousand Eyes Bodhisattva made a wish very effective. At this moment, there was no way to care about the two big men Xiao Yun and Zhao Huan. Axue pulled Xiaodie, and Xiaodie called Lu Chuchu. Lu Chuchu was blushing at first and kept a distance from the two women. After a while, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The three of them entered the main hall together, leaving Xiao Yun and Zhao Huan outside the main hall, watching everywhere.
At this moment, Zhao Huan suddenly said "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Zhao Huan touched his stomach with his left hand, waved his hand at Xiao Yun with his right hand, and said in pain: "It's okay, Young Master Xiao doesn't have to worry. It's just that his stomach hurts a little. It's because he's eaten something bad. It seems that he's going to be more convenient?"
Xiao Yun laughed in his heart: "You have this time?" But he pretended to be sympathetic on his face and said with concern: "I won't say much, Brother Zhao should go and make it convenient quickly, otherwise Miss Lu will come back to see Mr. Zhao's face in a while and I'm afraid... "
"Thank you, Young Master Xiao, for your understanding, I won't be with you anymore?" Zhao Huan covered his stomach and said in pain, "Ouch" and walked along the corridor of the main hall to the back of the cave.
The afternoon sun shone in the backyard of Qifeng Cave, and also on a person's face. A square face and two thick sword eyebrows, his appearance is not very handsome, but it is definitely not ugly. He is short and fat but not obscene, wearing torn clothes, not very neat, and his hair is a bit scattered, which makes people feel a kind of fierceness of a wild beast, a rugged that is indescribable.
At this moment, he was standing on a huge rock, and his figure stood outside the cave like a huge rock.
The strong wind blows in front of him, making his clothes "rustle" sound. He didn't care at all. He carried his hands on his back and looked up at a five-story hall under the stone cave. The hall was extremely magnificent. There were stone yards, mountain gates, bells and drum towers, and city walls. The layers of red walls and green tiles were hidden among the pines and cypresses. It was quite sad and pleasing to the eye. This was the "Xingxue in the West Mountain" one of the twenty-eight scenic spots in Yanjing. After a while, he turned around slowly, sighed, and sang loudly: "The jade is rugged, the towering divine capital, the cliffs are lined with silver, and the stones are flying. The earth is spreading and the sky is open to the pictures, and the households are lined with screens. The dawn is flowing clouds and the frozen sunshine is silent. The old trees are silent. The drunk eyes are shocked. The woodcutter returns, and the straw hat is green."
He was not very loud, but he was extremely penetrating. A red leaf tree outside the cave was blown by his voice, and many red leaves fell one after another.
