Chapter 20, Fighting for the Hall of Mental Cultivation, cooperating with poisonous snakes and scorpions(1/2)
The blue sky reflects the black double-eaves palace in King Zhao's city, which looks particularly solemn and solemn! The high stone walls and the forest-like sky pillars are magnificent and majestic, making people feel awe from a distance.
Zhao Guo advocates black color, which means mysterious and profound, and the color is red and black. Not only the buildings, but also the official uniforms, soldiers' armor, flags, etc. are mostly black. Even the royal robe of King Zhao is colored black.
The base is black, so it can be seen that "Xuan" is the color of the country.
It is said that the three states of Zhao State were born from water, with water networks extending in all directions. Among the five elements, water is black, and red means rising and prosperity, so the country is uniquely black. And the Yan State in the north is because of
It is located to the north of the Sea of Tears, with frost and snow all year round, yellow sand covering the sky, and sparsely populated areas. Although the climate of Yan State's Yingzhou is suitable, the days are short and the nights are long and the mountains are densely forested. The harsh environment has created the martial and bloodthirsty character of the people in the north.
, so the Yan State admires the color red.
Let’s not talk about Beiyan, just talk about what’s happening in King Zhao’s city right now—in the Hall of Yangxin.
As the name suggests, the Yangxin Hall is a place where the king of a country rests and reviews memorials. And this place for the king to rest is naturally extraordinary. Let’s just say that the dome is made of the thousand-year-old golden iron nanmu wood from Cangzhou.
It was also decorated with snow pearls from the depths of the Sea of Stars in Dongzhou, and was surrounded by a silk brocade curtain as thin as cicada wings. On the top of the palace was a huge sun and moon pearl, shining brightly.
The ground is paved with three feet of white jade, and the joints are embedded with gold wire. When you step on your bare feet, you will feel warmth entering your body and reaching your heart. This is not ordinary white jade, but unique to Zezhou.
It is made of Wanshou Yan white jade, which makes people feel comfortable and warm all over the body. It is a good thing to keep healthy and prolong life. Nowadays, only the Yangxin Hall in the entire Zhao Palace has this jade, which shows how precious it is!
However, at this moment, in this solemn but elegant Yangxin Hall, the eldest princess Zhao Yingnuo was telling King Zhao something.
I saw Zhao Yingnuo pleading with a look of grievance in his eyes: "Father, you have to make the decision for your son."
King Zhao was leaning against the golden wire, looking at the memorial. Seeing that the apple of his eye wanted to make the decision on his own, how could he not know what was going on?
King Zhao raised his eyes slightly, glanced at this unruly and willful daughter, then turned back to look at the memorial and asked in harmony: "Since you retired from the court, you have been pestering me, but tell me what I have done for you.
host?"
Hearing that his father finally spoke, Zhao Yingnuo felt happy, as if everything was as expected.
You must know that there are many princes under the father's knees, but there are only two daughters, she and his sister Zhao Tingnuo. Naturally, King Zhao dotes on the two girls very much, and they can be said to be docile and obedient as if they were the apple of his eye.
At this moment, Zhao Yingnuo was naturally confident and about to speak, but when he saw that his father was still holding the memorial that made people fall asleep at the sight, he kept looking at it, and suddenly he felt anxious.
However, Zhao Yingnuo knew her father very well, and as soon as he saw her eyes that were shining like gems, he took notice. She snuggled up to King Zhao's knees and pretended to be squeezing him.
When King Zhao saw her acting like this, how could he not know her little thoughts? He immediately laughed and scolded: "~You, you have nothing to do to show your courtesy..."
When Zhao Yingnuo heard this, he immediately became unhappy and retorted: "How could my father have wronged my son so unjustly? I see my father working hard for the country all day long, so I feel filial piety now."
Looking at the eldest princess who was pretending to be angry and with a look of complaint on her face, King Zhao put down the memorial, closed his eyes and pressed his sore eyes, while not forgetting to joke: "With a mouthful of candied fruit, if Ting Nuo said so,
I believe it, you...? Tell me, what's the matter?"
Seeing that his father finally put down the damn memorial, Zhao Yingnuo felt happy and became energetic.
I saw her increasing her strength and massaging randomly, while pretending to be aggrieved and said: "Father, today you want to recruit the new champion Luo Yu as your consort in the imperial examination. I know that you love me and want to choose someone for me."
You are a good husband. But it’s okay for Luo Yu to be ungrateful, but he is so arrogant that he relies on his father’s favor and dares to refuse marriage in court! If this spreads out, it will be a shame for the sons and ministers to lose their face, but how can I save my father’s face? I, Zhao,
How can the country’s face be saved? Luo Yu clearly despised the king’s power and let down his father’s grace~. How could any minister in the past dynasties dare to refuse the king’s grace? Today he dares to do this, but what about the future? So...so.
....."
As Zhao Yingnuo spoke, she did not forget to observe King Zhao's face, but at this time, King Zhao seemed to be enjoying her 'superb' massage techniques! He still closed his eyes and showed a look of enjoyment without any expression?
Seeing that her father was indifferent, he seemed to be enjoying it very much! Zhao Yingnuo was startled, and then looked at her slender jade fingers that she was working hard to pinch. For a moment, she was a little confused. If she hadn't been there since she was a child.
Knowing her father's temper, at this moment she almost believed that her massage techniques had improved rapidly and had reached the pinnacle of perfection!
Just when Zhao Yingnuo was confused, King Zhao's slightly cold voice sounded: "Why didn't you say anything? So what?"
Looking at her father who was still "enjoying it with her eyes closed", Zhao Yingnuo hesitated for a moment, then she bit her red lips and spoke out what was on her mind.
She frowned and said: "... Therefore, I sincerely ask my father to issue an edict to severely punish Luo Yu, who has no superiority to the emperor. He will have his reputation reduced, dismissed from his official position, and demoted to a slave..."
When Zhao Yingnuo said it to the end, he gritted his teeth and a sinister look flashed in his eyes!
But at some point, King Zhao, who was enjoying with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and seemed to have understood everything. It seems that Yingnuo was used to being pampered by others, and she actually had such vicious thoughts! She wanted to marry her.
Here...hey! Forget it, let's wait until Tingnuo is older.
Thinking of this, King Zhao could not help but sigh in his heart, and at the same time he felt a sense of self-blame. However, this thought only stayed in his heart for a moment. At this time, his face did not reveal anything wrong, which made people feel uncomfortable.
It’s hard to fathom.
After a while, King Zhao pretended to be angry and said: "Nonsense! Luo Yu is the number one scholar in a new subject and the pillar of the country, how can he be treated like this? Wouldn't that man become an ignorant and ignorant king?"
When Zhao Yingnuo saw that her father not only did not agree with her, but even scolded her, she felt angry. At the same time, she took back her squeezing hands, showing a look of grievance.
I saw Zhao Yingnuo retort: "But he refused to marry in court, how can I save the face of my children? How can I save the face of my father?"
King Zhao rubbed his sore temples, and then looked at his eldest daughter, who was in a state of anger. When he noticed the resentment in Zhao Yingnuo's eyes, he felt even more disappointed.
Then he sighed with helpless relief and said: "Luo Yu refused to marry because he had a marriage contract before him. It was reasonable and reasonable, and there was no reason to lose face. Do you want your father to forcefully break up the mandarin ducks and attract criticism from the world? Yingnuo, don't you?
...Sometimes if you can't do good things to others, you will help them to do good things. In the future, he will be more grateful to me? So...this is the way to be a king..."
King Zhao was about to persuade Zhao Yingnuo to take the overall situation into consideration, but Zhao Yingnuo shook his head and showed impatient expression. He snatched the words and said arrogantly: "I don't want to listen to the way of being a king. I don't have to be a king. I just want to be king."
He knows that his father is the king and he is his minister, and that all rewards and punishments are like rain and dew. Why should he, a rough country man, refuse? Why is the father willing to harm his son's reputation and help his good deeds? Such people who have no eyes for a king should do it.
Behead, crush..."
"shut up!"
The sound of slapping the crime suddenly sounded! King Zhao was now glaring with anger, looking at the apple of his eye that he loved so much, so unreasonable, so cruel and vicious.
He finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared out: "How can you be allowed to discuss national affairs?"
King Zhao shouted angrily, and the surrounding maids and eunuchs were shocked and fell to the ground as silently as cicadas.
But the eldest princess, Zhao Yingnuo, still showed sadness and resentment on her face! Although she was trembling and kneeling, she looked up at King Zhao unyieldingly. Her eyes met without averting each other, and she was obviously extremely resentful.
I saw Zhao Yingnuo saying with hatred: "I want to say, if Luo Yu is missing, my father will not..."
"Crack!"
Before Zhao Yingnuo finished speaking, she received a loud slap on the face!
The delicate body was even more unstable due to the force and fell to the ground. A bright red palm print appeared on the smooth and smooth face in an instant, and blood gushed out from the corner of the mouth.
At this time, King Zhao's anger was welling up, and his chest was heaving violently. But when he saw Zhao Yingnuo lying on the ground, he felt pity in his heart again...
But when King Zhao wanted to comfort her with gentle words, he suddenly found that her eyes became more resentful and vicious! King Zhao's face instantly darkened, and his eyes were as sharp as a sword, piercing Zhao Yingnuo who fell to the ground.
Looking at Zhao Yingnuo, who was in tears at this moment, King Zhao warned word by word: "Yingnuo, you and Tingnuo both have beautiful looks, but their minds are very different. Father hopes that you will be like Tingnuo.
Just as soft and beautiful. From now on, you can cultivate your mind and learn Taoism with the imperial master. Father, you are tired, so go down."
Watching her figure disappear outside the Yangxin Hall, King Zhao sighed, and his good mood disappeared.
............
Shuihua Palace, inside the eldest princess's bedroom.
"bump!......!"
"Damn Luo Yu...!" The sound of objects falling and breaking, accompanied by the woman's vicious curses and abuses, spread throughout the palace and beyond.
If it weren't for the rules in the palace, the palace ladies outside, who were nervous and trembling, would have immediately blocked their ears and found a way to escape! You must know that every time the eldest princess gets angry and hits her, she will suffer.
They are slaves and servants. Who told them to have a low status? If one of them does not serve well, it is not surprising that he will be burned to death and beaten to death...
"What's wrong with the eldest princess?"
Just when all the maids and maids were trembling and uneasy, a voice of inquiry came from behind!
Several palace ladies suddenly heard this and screamed in surprise!
Before they could even take a breath, they quickly covered their mouths. When they turned around, they saw a person coming. He was wearing a white loose robe with an open chest, and a black Tianshi Taoist robe on the outside. He was holding a scale feather fan and his long hair shawl was fluttering wantonly! That jade
The face has slender eyebrows, thin lips, and the corners of the mouth are turned up. Although the three-inch short beard under the lip is sparse, it is neatly trimmed. The person looks like this, and every gesture and gesture reveals a sense of dissoluteness!
When the palace maids saw that the person who came was actually the current Imperial Master Guang Longzi! Naturally, they spoke softly and quickly turned sideways and saluted: "My maids pay homage to the Imperial Master!"
Guang Longzi was very beautiful by nature, so he smiled brilliantly when he saw this. He quickly stretched out his hand and said: "Well~ good! Good! Very good! Get up, get up... Come, tell me what happened? Why?
So panicked? Look at how frightened they are. It makes my country’s teachers feel so distressed~..."
As Guang Longzi said this, he stretched out his hands to help several little palace ladies, groping up and down with his hands. Needless to say, there is no need to say more.
Seeing this, Gong'e was very nervous, but she didn't dare to say a word. Although the imperial master was frivolous and smiling, they didn't dare to offend them. They must know that the imperial master Guang Longzi was the legendary immortal.
!Except for the monarch, everyone in Zhao must be treated with respect and courtesy, let alone their servants and servants.
But if they are really attracted by the imperial master, then...it is their blessing! Thinking of this, one of the pretty palace ladies came forward and bowed slowly, her eyes flashed, and she replied with a soft smile:
"As for the Imperial Master, after the eldest princess came back from the king, for some reason she locked herself in the palace and did not allow the slaves to come near..."
While listening to Xiao Gong'e's soft and tingling voice, Guang Longzi kept looking up and down with his signature evil smile, and his eyes kept wandering somewhere in front of Xiao Gong'e.
After Gong'e finished speaking, Guang Longzi suddenly put away his squinting eyes! He turned to look at the closed door of the palace in front of him.
After a moment, he pretended to be profound and shook the feather fan in his hand, picked up a few strands of black hair, and said with an evil smile: "Only my disciple can persuade me to stop. You go down, so as not to suffer such an unreasonable disaster."
After speaking, Guang Longzi chuckled and walked towards the closed door.
When several palace maids suddenly heard the words of the Imperial Master, they were as grateful as if they had received a general pardon. They all thanked the Imperial Master and left happily.
In the dormitory of Shuihua Palace, Guang Longzi had just stepped in.
