Ten, a river of spring water flows eastward

The King of Jing is located in the southeast of the Forbidden City, covering an area of ​​100 acres. The main building is majestic, the wing tower is stretched, and the palaces and palaces are like the Eastern Palace.

Emperor Li Yu and Crown Prince Li Jian came to the King of Jing's Mansion at night under the protection of Jinwu Guard. Yin Changshi and the headmaster of the Prince of the Mansion led it to King of Jing's bedroom. They saw the lights and the noise mixed with crying. A group of deacons and maids ran around in panic.

Changshi Yin shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor is here, no noise should be made."

A large area of ​​black knelt down, and one of the deacons reported: "Emperor, Your Highness King Jing locked himself in the bedroom and cried and laughed, shouted, smashed the objects, and banged, and I was so eager to persuade him, but Your Highness refused to open the door. Concubine Wei came to persuade him and was almost injured by the flying glass cup."

As he was talking, several maids came surrounded by Princess Jing Wei and knelt down to pick him up. Wei was the daughter of the left prime minister Wei Xuan.

Li Yu said, "Wait for me to come and persuade him." With Li Jian and General Zuo Jinwu coming to the door of the bedroom.

On a cold spring night, the whole bedroom was silent and there was no hearing of Li Kun's cry.

Li Yu was about to speak, and a shattering sound suddenly came from the closed bedroom. A crazy voice laughed: "Father, Mother, are you going to take the child away? The child has no desire to have a child, and the mother is willing to follow the father and the mother is willing to do so in the nine springs. The poor child is still in her infancy. The father and the mother left the child. Uncle, although the uncle and aunt are the king of a country and the mother of a country, treat the child as if he were born, so that the child can grow up safely.

The child does not know his biological parents, but he has uncles and parents. This is a great blessing in his misfortune. Today, the child suffered this great humiliation, but he remembered his uncle's daily teachings and should not be arrogant. But the child is really unwilling to accept it. Is it better to be a prince than a commoner? In order to protect his wife, the commoner can take risks, but for the sake of his uncle's benevolence, the child can only swallow his anger. But what's the fun of living like this? It's better to die!"

The Hamlet-like monologue of King Jing Li Kun deeply touched the sentimental emperor Li Yu. His eyes were filled with tears, his lips were trembling, and he called out: "Kun'er, uncle is here, please open the door first, and your uncle will take charge of you."

Li Kun said: "Is it your uncle? Uncle, your nephew is unfilial, so your uncle will go to Jiuquan to serve his father. Your mother will go to the next life. My nephew bid farewell to his uncle and repay his kindness again." Then he heard a "bang" sound, as if a heavy object was falling.

Li Yu shouted anxiously: "Crack the door, break the door, break the door for me."

General Zuo Jinwu hit his elbow, and the door bolt of the bedroom door broke with a "click" sound. The door suddenly opened. The lights in the hall were dim and a person was hanging on the beam facing him.

King Jing Li Kun hangs himself with a three-foot white silk!

Li Yu was so scared that his face was gone, his hands and feet were trembling, and he urgently called for help.

Naturally, the man was rescued quickly, and there was no trace under his neck, but Li Kun was slow to wake up. He was resurrected when the medical officer of the Imperial Medical Department was ordered to come quickly. He said angrily: "Why should uncle save his nephew? Let the child go."

Li Yu said sadly: "Kun'er, how can you commit suicide for this trivial matter? How can I face my deceased brother and sister-in-law when I return to heaven!" He turned his head and shouted: "General Lin, go and arrest Zhou Xuan for me, kowtow to King Jing in front of him to confess his guilt. King Jing is his fate. If he refuses to forgive him, then immediately deal with the crime of committing rebellion."

General Lin Ji of Zuo Jinwu responded: "I obey the order." But he didn't move. He didn't know who Zhou Xuan was. Where did he ask him to catch this guy who dared to offend King Jing?

Li Jian hurriedly said, "Father, please take General Lin to tell him that Zhou Xuan is here to see him. General Lin does not know where Zhou Xuan lives, nor does he recognize Zhou Xuan."

Li Yu's face was as deep as water: "Go, if you dare to let Zhou Xuan go secretly, I will never forgive you."

Li Jian lowered his head and said, "My son dare not."

Li Jian and Lin Ji led a team of Jinwu Guards out of the King of Jing's Mansion. The Forbidden City was in the southwest corner of Jinling, and Mochou Lake was in the northwest corner, five miles apart.

Li Jian said: "General Lin, Zhou Xuan is my righteous brother. He has a life-saving grace. When we meet, please ask General Lin not to treat him as a sinner. I will definitely keep him in front of my father."

Lin Ji felt a stern in his heart. If he had known that the Eastern Palace and King Jing were incompatible, he would not have expected that he would be so nervous. He must be careful, otherwise he would get involved in it. If he was not careful, he would suffer the disaster of extermination. He said, "Let everything be left to the crown prince."

Li Jian had a deep sword-brow. The evil brother Li Kun's performance in the bedroom just now was too shameless and wonderful, and won the deep sympathy of his father. With his power, Li Jian had already been forced to keep Zhou Xuan safe and sound. He had to discuss with him after seeing Zhou Xuan. Seeing that he had a clever plan? Thinking about the life-and-death chess battle in Shimenjian, Lushan that day, it was thrilling, and his life was hanging on the line several times, but Zhou Xuan survived tenaciously and finally won. Although the evil brother Li Kun has taken the lead, Zhou Xuan will definitely have a solution. At that time, Zhou Xuan said that he would ask Li Kun to sue the emperor even if he complained, and he should have thought of a solution to it.

Late at night, a team of iron cavalry crossed the long street, shocking the dreams of many people and Zhou Xuan's dreams. When Lin Heishan came to knock on the door, Zhou Xuan had not yet untied the slut's skirt. You can't be too impatient, right? You have to do a lot of foreplay. He was playing with two little lambs leisurely, so the two balls of tender meat were about to melt, making the little family be infatuated, and the cherry mouth kept making soft and delicate voices. He didn't speak at this time, but he talked a lot and kept shouting: "Young Master--Young Master--"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Who? I'm going to bed." Zhou Xuan raised his head from Yang Xiaofen's chest and said unhappily.

"Brother Xuan, things are a little bit bad. His Royal Highness came late at night and said that the emperor wanted you to confront King Jing now."

Zhou Xuan's desire disappeared and replied: "Brother Heishan is waiting, I'll come soon."

Yang Xiaopin woke up from the confusion of feelings and called out with a gentle voice: "Young Master——"

Zhou Xuan knew she felt guilty, but now that things have come to this point, there is nothing to blame her. As a man, he has to take the lead now. Since he wants to have a good relationship with Li Jian, then the conflict with King Jing is a matter of time. Yang Xiaopin just took the matter forward and intensified it, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I can handle it. You can get up too, put on the makeup, put on the most beautiful dress, and I will take you to face you with me."

Zhou Xuan first put on his robe and opened the door to Lin Heishan to go to the hall, and told Yang Xiaopin to come.

Li Jian stood in front of the steps despite the deep cold night, waiting. When he saw Zhou Xuan, he immediately pulled him aside and talked about the scene in Prince Jing's Mansion. Zhou Xuan nodded and smiled: "Li Kun is indeed shameless. In this world, shameless people are invincible. I want to give in to the disadvantage of shamelessness."

Li Jian said anxiously: "Brother Xuan, do you have any good plans? My father believed in his slander. I am afraid that you will be humiliated before you even speak!"

Judge Fan and Gu Changshi were also rubbing their hands anxiously.

Zhou Xuan said: "Brother Jian, don't worry, I have a way to deal with this difficulty - Gu Changshi, come quickly and find a doctor, tie a splint for my legs, then prepare a pair of chariots, and carry me to see the emperor because I have broken legs."

Gu Changshi quickly found a doctor, and the chariot arrived. Zhou Xuan lay on the chariot and asked the doctor to bandage him the "broken leg" and fix it with a splint.

Yang Xiaopin appeared at this time, and the beauty of this little family made everyone present lit up. She didn't think of the blond face before, but she didn't expect that she was so beautiful when she was dressed up. She couldn't help but think: No wonder Zhou Xuan was willing to go against King Jing for her, it's worth it!

Before he could stop, Li Jian called Lin Ji in, and two Jinwu guards carried Zhou Xuan and walked to the forbidden city.

Judge Fan and Gu Changshi followed, and there was a sedan carrying the sheep Xiaopin.

Originally, the three and four ignorant were also wanted to follow, but Zhou Xuan stopped him. Zhou Xuan said: "This is not something that can be solved by force. Is it possible that Li Yu wants to kill me, and you two will snatch me away? I am a family and a family, and escaping is not a skill. I have to gain a firm foothold in Jinling. I must pass this first level."

When they arrived at the forbidden city, Judge Fan, Yang Xiaopin and others were waiting for the summons at the gatehouse. Li Jian was nervously accompanying Zhou Xuan who was lying on the chariot.

In the main hall of King Jing’s Mansion, the lights were as bright as day, and dozens of attendants were solemn and silent. Emperor Li Yu was walking in the hall. King Jing Li Kun leaned against a bed, still pretending to be dying. He said weakly: "Uncle, for Brother Jian, my nephew will not care about that madman. As long as he returns his favorite concubine, he kowtows to his nephew and apologizes. This will not damage my uncle's reputation of kindness and loving people."

Li Yu sighed, "Kun'er is so kind. Zhou Xuan I will never give up easily. I originally admired his lyrics, but I didn't expect that he was a talented but not capable person. This time, even if he didn't cut off his head, he would inevitably suffer from flesh and blood. Even Jian'er would be punished and he would be careless of making friends."

Li Kun said: "There is no need to be punished. Just wait until he comes and holds twenty feet. A scholar has talent but no virtue. Humiliation is to educate him."

Li Yu nodded and asked loudly: "Why haven't Zhou Xuan been arrested yet?"

Li Jian responded outside, "Father, Zhou Xuanzhuan is here." As he said that, he strode in and saluted Li Yu.

Li Yuyun said: "Why have you been there for so long?"

Li Jian said: "Qi reported to the father, Zhou Xuan's legs were cracked and he could not walk. It was carried by Jinwu Guards in a chariot, so it was late."

Li Yu shouted: "Come in."

Li Kun tilted his head and gave a wink at the two servants holding bamboo sticks. When Zhou Xuan came in, the emperor rushed up and grabbed Zhou Xuan's mouth. He didn't knock Zhou Xuan down all his teeth, which was a dereliction of duty.

The whole room was silent, waiting for the criminal Zhou Xuan to be carried to him.

Suddenly, a clear voice outside the hall chanted loudly:

"When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come? How much do you know about the past? The building was windy again last night, and my hometown was unbearable to look back at the moonlight."

Everyone in the hall looked at each other. Who is so bold that he started to recite poems at this time? Although His Majesty the Emperor loves lyrics and music, it is too abrupt and rude.

Li Kun heard that it was Zhou Xuan's voice. He knew that Zhou Xuan wanted to impress the emperor with lyrics and music, and he didn't care about being dying. He shouted: "Dysome, are you showing off your elegance at this time? Are you treating the emperor's majesty as a joke?"

Li Yu was shocked when he heard these words, and felt a sense of familiarity. These half of the words seemed to his writing, just like a long-standing dream that restored memory due to these words, and felt a strong spiritual echo.

Li Yu suppressed his inner excitement and raised his voice and said, "Who is singing high? I have something to ask him."

Zhou Xuan lay on the chariot and heard the voice calling himself me in the hall. It was naturally Li Yu. The voice was filled with surprise and joy, as if he met an old friend in a foreign land.

Zhou Xuan knew that his move had worked. This poem "Yu Meiren" was the destiny of Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It has been passed down through the ages and is a classic work of sad and beautifulness. Many people plagiarize poems through time, but it seems that there are few people who plagiarize in front of the original author. Since Li Kun is shameless, he must use his own way to do what he wants. There is no shame, only even more shameless.

The two Jinwu Guards placed Zhou Xuan's chariot in the middle of the hall and then retreated aside.

Zhou Xuan lay on the chariot, and as if he was throwing his body, he stretched his head with difficulty and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Xuan, a citizen of the United States, kowtowed to Your Majesty." He touched his forehead a few times on the back of his hand and kowtowed, thinking to himself: "Li Yu is indeed very handsome, his hair is gray and so handsome. Historical books say that Li Yu's eyes have double pupils, and it seems nothing is unusual now. Is the double pupils a cataract?"

Li Kun winked and asked the two servants to rush up to the palm of their mouths, which made Zhou Xuan speechless. See how he would recite poems and lyrics.

Two servants holding bamboo sticks hesitated and walked forward. Li Jian had long seen it and shouted, "Your Majesty is asking, what do you want to do!"

The two servants quickly retreated, but Li Kun had no choice. He could not jump out of Hu's bed and beat Zhou Xuan.

Li Yu looked at Zhou Xuan. He had heard the prince Li Jian mention this person many times, saying that he was resourceful, righteous, and skilled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When he saw it today, he was indeed a strange expression, without the shabby appearance of timidity, and seemed cheerful and majestic, and asked: "You are Zhou Xuan, what does it mean to be a foreigner? Are you not a native of Tang?"

Zhou Xuan lay there comfortably and looked at Li Yu, answering: "Your Majesty, Zhou Xuan is from Australia tens of thousands of miles away from the South China Sea, but his ancestral home is Xinzhou. He moved overseas during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The ancestors of Cao Min used our Chinese wisdom to conquer the barbarians and established a dynasty, which has been passed down for hundreds of years. Unexpectedly, those barbarians revenge and rebelled, and I was the only one who escaped and came to Jiangzhou with the merchant ship. Lin Dai's Protector knew very well about this, and Your Majesty can inquire about it."

Li Yubo was aware of it and said, "I have seen the old book "Haiguo Zhi" record that there is a country tens of thousands of miles away in the South China Sea, which is vast and vast. Could it be what you call Australia?"

Zhou Xuan said: "That's right."

Li Yu said: "It is rumored that this country is primitive and wilderness, and the residents eat raw meat and drink blood like wild animals. But how can you write poems and lyrics?"

Zhou Xuan said: "The people of Xinzhou who moved overseas were all dressed and geniuses, and were literary and elegant. When they arrived in the wilderness of Australia, they taught the local natives to plant mulberry and plant hemp, raise cattle and sheep, teach poetry and books, and pass on etiquette. The grass people have always been full of strings and songs, and they have never forgotten the elegant art of Middle Earth. Moreover, there are many scholars who have gone from Middle Earth to Australia for hundreds of years, so the grass people are also familiar with the art of Middle Earth."

Li Yu nodded and asked, "What you just recited is the lyrics of "Yu Meiren"? Why is there only half a verse?"

Li Yu's tone was different, and he used the very polite title of "Qing".

Zhou Xuan said: "I haven't had time to chant the second half of the verse."

"Quickly chant." Li Yu urged. As a master of lyrics and music, Li Yu knew the wonder of the first half of the lyrics just now, and wanted to know how to turn the second half of the lyrics and how to go to the next level?

Zhou Xuanyin said: "The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red faces are changed. How much sorrow can you have? It is like a river of spring water flowing eastward. Your Majesty, the grass people use this word to express their grief for their homeland. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you for your majesty."

Li Yu sat blankly on a large gold-painted chair, muttering to chant the lyrics of "Yu Meiren": "When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come? How much do you know about the past? The building was windy again last night, and my hometown was unbearable to look back at the moonlight. The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red faces changed. How much sorrow can you have? It's like a river of spring water flowing eastward."

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this word was wonderful. It deeply touched the strings in Li Yu's heart. The mountains and flowing waters are hard to know. This word expresses an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

Li Kun was already sitting up on Hu's bed. Seeing the emperor chanting in a daze, Zhou Xuan was lying there and rolling his eyes at him, full of mockery. Li Kun was really angry, so angry that his brain hurts, and he said loudly: "Uncle, my nephew is better off dead!"

Li Yu was immersed in the lyrics and suddenly woke up and asked, "What's good, what's good? Is Kun'er talking about this lyrics? Good, it's really good!"

Li Kun was choked and couldn't stop looking for death. He called him "It's better to die" and was ridiculed by Li Jian, saying, "Uncle, my nephew's heart hurts."

Li Yu came to his senses and arrested Zhou Xuan to vent his anger for his nephew. How could he appreciate Zhou Xuan's poem? However, this poem did make him feel sympathetic. His first impression of Zhou Xuan had changed. He no longer had the anger he had before and said, "Don't worry Kun'er, I will definitely give you justice." He said to Zhou Xuan: "Zhou Xuan, do you know your crime?"

Zhou Xuan said: "I don't know what crime the Caomin has committed?"

Li Yu asked without any anger: "Why did you seize the favored concubine of King Jing? Send it back quickly, I may forgive you for not guilty."

Zhou Xuan said: "Did Your Majesty the Emperor talk about the grass-roots and the little girl? She is waiting for His Majesty to summon him at the door of the mansion."
