Chapter 1617 : The East Wind Awakens the Dream of a Hero

"Here is it, is it the one that should come?" Liu Bowen sighed, put down the pen in his hand, slowly turned around, and looked outside the door.

"Mr. Liu - the emperor summoned the emperor to enter the palace?" A small yellow gate bowed his body and gently swayed the Buddhist dust path.

Liu Bowen slowly put away the manuscript on the table, sorted out his clothes, and said, "Don't ask my father-in-law to lead the way, Liu Bowen will go now?"

The father-in-law responded, turned around and walked in front, and Liu Bowen followed closely. As soon as he left the Liu family's mansion, a carriage or two came up. The father-in-law bowed to Liu Bowen and said, "Sir, please get in the car?"

Liu Bowen realized that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, so he was not polite. He sorted out his clothes and lowered his head to walk into the carriage. The carriage was not big, but the layout outside was extremely ordinary. Such carriages could be seen everywhere in Jinling City, but Liu Bowen walked into the carriage without hesitation.

The interior of the carriage is extremely gorgeous. This gorgeousness is not like the gorgeousness dressed in silk and satin that ordinary carriages are decorated with silk and satin. This is a kind of beauty without silk and satin, no beautiful pictures, and no gold and silver utensils. All the gorgeousness is reflected in the car itself.

The body of the car is obviously painted, with the vermilion paint on the four walls of the car seat emitting a faint fragrance, with white copper around the corners, and then decorated with pine and bamboo. Each connected part has been carefully carved, so that the entire carriage cannot find a concave and convex place. The floor and inner wall of the car are like mirrors on one side, as smooth as water. Such a carriage, with two horses, can't feel a slight bump even if it runs.

Liu Bowen nodded, bent over and sat on the seat made of silk and bamboo. Hearing a shout, the carriage ran towards the palace.

As the carriage ran for about a cup of tea, the sound of horse hooves stopped. Liu Bowen, who was sitting with his eyes narrowed and straight, had not opened his eyes yet. While listening to a burst of steps, the father-in-law walked forward and said to Liu Bowen in the car: "Sir Liu, the palace has arrived? Please get out of the car?"

Liu Bowen bent down and walked out of the car, stepping on the handlebars and found that the car had arrived outside a yard. The yard was very large, connected by long corridors, and the corridor was surrounded by various colors of flowers. Although it was early winter, many flowers were still blooming, and with a faint smoke, it looked very beautiful.

The father-in-law bowed and said, "Sir, please come with me!" After that, he chose a corridor in the middle and walked in.

Liu Bowen looked at it a few times and saw several long vermilion pillars supporting the corridor. There were big red lanterns hanging in the middle of the pillars. When the night wind blew, the red lanterns swayed gently, which was quite imposing.

"Sir, please go here?" The father-in-law walked to a corner and bowed.

Liu Bowen nodded, and said nothing more, just followed him and walked.

The courtyard is so deep that I can see the end of the corridor, full of greenery, rockery pools, peaks, pavilions, carved railings and painted buildings. Looking around, the eaves and corners, red bricks and green tiles, and snow-white white walls, the royal style arises naturally.

Liu Bowen looked at it for a while and secretly amazes the exquisite layout of the courtyard, and the royal style everywhere. He is already amazed in his heart.

The father-in-law did not stop for a long time and led Liu Bowen to walk through the corridor, around the rockery, the springs, and the flowers. Although it was night, because the red lanterns had been lit, the entire courtyard had already shone brightly as daytime.

Liu Bowen was led by the father-in-law and passed through the hall, as if he was in a maze, not knowing where he was. He didn't know how long he had walked, but he heard the father-in-law arched in front of him suddenly stopped, turned around, and whispered to Liu Bowen: "Mr. Liu is here!"

Liu Bowen looked up and saw a elegant house in front of him, located on the far left of the manor. The towering ancient trees around him embrace it in a thick spring scenery, which made people take a look and a stern atmosphere arises naturally.

Liu Bowen came on order, but he was not afraid. He ignored the father-in-law and walked towards Nayashe.

"Who?" A shouted, and under the night, a Jinyi Guard wearing a Jinyiwei cloak walked out with his right hand, staring at Liu Bowen with a fierce look.

"Liu Bowen is ordered to come to see you?" Liu Bowen said in a humble and arrogant manner.

"Oh, it turns out to be Liu Renda. Your Majesty has given you a command. Please come in!" After saying that, the guard waved his hand, and reached out to the occupied guards and fought fiercely to the left and right. He returned to his previous position in a neat manner, as if nothing had happened just now.

Liu Bowen nodded, bowed with fists, and continued to walk in. Every time he walked into a door, two guards stopped behind him and joined the guards guarding the surrounding Jinyiwei.

I don’t know how many doors I finally saw the lights. Following the lights, Liu Bowen saw everything in Yashe, tables, chairs, saucers, tables, and kitchens were exquisite. On the tea table in the middle, there was a porcelain pot with charcoal under the pot, and the charcoal fire was burning. As the charcoal fire was vigorous, white fog appeared on the mouth of the pot, and occasionally a few "gurgling sounds were heard, obviously the tea in the pot had already opened.

There was a small incense burner on the left side of the table. Incense burner was lit in the incense burner, and the smoke curled up. I took a sudden breath, making people feel awake.

There is a screen behind the incense burning. The screen divides the elegantly decorated private room into two rooms. The top of the screen is flying and phoenix. When you look closely, it is a poem.

The horse crosses the river with alfalfa fragrance, and the clouds cross the rain with Xiaoxiang. The east wind blows the dream of heroes, not Xianyang, but Luoyang.

The brushwork is vigorous and powerful, and each stroke strives to penetrate the thick screen, which has the momentum of being the king of the world.

Liu Bowen savored and admired the screen carefully, muttered the poem twice, and then walked in.

"My uncle Liu Bowen has seen Your Majesty. I wish my emperor a long life!"

There was a silence in Yashe, but the smoke was curling, and the tea in the kettle kept making gurgling sounds.

Liu Bowen did not get up immediately, but still bent and waited patiently.

Soon, a low sound of getting up came from Yashe, followed by footsteps, and then a low and cold voice came from behind the screen: "Liu Aiqing doesn't have to be too polite, sit down and talk!"

Liu Bowen breathed secretly, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he sat down, a slight sound came from the screen. Liu Bowen looked at it with a squint eyes and saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking out in a casual manner under the light.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The previous poem, when Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Chen Youliang, chased him to Xiaoxiang Lake and left this poem. The meaning of the last two lines is: The east wind wailed the hero's dream, and then he realized that he was in Luoyang instead of Xianyang. These two lines describe the dream of waking up, the beautiful scenery has become empty, and his melancholy and helplessness is vividly revealed on paper. In vernacular, he became the emperor in his dream and unified China. As a result, he woke up and found that they were all fake and felt very frustrated. But on the other hand, it also highlighted his ambition to seek hegemony. Xianyang is the capital of Qin, and Luoyang is the capital of Han. Lao Zhu means that the current situation is not Qin destroying the six kingdoms, but the dispute between Chu and Han (he and Chen Youliang). Moreover, the turning point of the Chu and Han dispute that year, Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, occupied Luoyang, and his intention also means that he compares with Liu Bang.
