Chapter 162 Song and Dance
"The wind bun is golden mud belt, and the dragon pattern is jade palm comb. I come and smile at the window, and I love to paint the eyebrows. I don't have any people's thrush?
I have been foolish when I write a pen for a long time, and I have been talking about the first hand. I have a smile on my face and ask the crazy husband, and I have asked if the joy is not lower than the old days?"
Xu Hao, in front of the Ganqing Palace, raised his hand to be searched by the guards. He heard the babbling Nanqu coming from inside, and knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was having a meal.
Just like many people in later generations liked to watch TV while eating, emperors of all generations liked to sing and dance lightly when eating. It’s no wonder that some literati invented the idiom “Suiyan and can eat”.
It seems that everyone thinks that Xu Hao is the emperor's confidant, and the guards and eunuchs are particularly friendly. Eunuch Li smiled and whispered: "The emperor is in a good mood tonight, and he is a little excited. Please, Lord Xu."
While there was no one around, Xu Hao also whispered: "Thank you for the blessing of the prince, your nephew has become a hereditary family."
Eunuch Li's surprise flashed away and he said heavily: "Thank you."
Xu Hao said: "regardless of qualifications and achievements, it is a branch that is worthy of promotion to a hundred households. I have not favored myself."
"That's it." Eunuch Li understood the gods and proclaimed loudly: "Your Majesty, Lord Xu Hao, the governor of the Jinyiwei, asked for a visit."
"Let him come in, I just want to find someone to accompany you."
Xu Hao lowered his head and walked into the side hall. He saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the chair on one side of the hall. In front of him was a square red sandalwood dining table, with four bowls of exquisite dishes and a large bowl of soup, a pot of wine and a golden-lacquered bronze wine cup.
There were three beautiful singers playing the pipa zither and guqin sitting opposite, with the lingering sound surrounding the beams, and the pear garden was full of beauty. They were both beautiful and artistic. The four young dancers with silk clothes folded with snow and precious temples piled with clouds, in conjunction with the ancient tune. They danced back to the bright moon falling from the Qin Tower, and the singing and moving clouds covering the Chu Pavilion.
But I saw several dancers with long sleeves floating, with light steps, high and low, slow pressing the Gongshang; the dance posture is graceful, light and heavy, slow and slow according to the style. It can be said that the sound of the zither robe is slow, and the red teeth are beaten.
Xu Hao couldn't understand this and thought it was quite novel and beautiful. Besides, this is a real Chinese art, which was very disgusting and slapped his palms a few times.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile: "Does it sound good?"
Xu Hao was used to telling the truth to Comrade Zhu, and smiled and said, "It's a pity that I don't understand it very much. The dance is good, this is the real palace music and dance skills. Good!"
Puff! Zhu Yuanzhang instantly squirted out a sip of wine and asked with a laugh and cry: "You have never heard of this since you were a child?"
"No!" Xu Hao shook his head, "Every time His Majesty eats, I guard the fields, and I never dared to come over and eavesdrop on it once."
"Oh." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a complicated expression, "Then I ask you, where do you usually do entertainment?"
Xu Hao thought about it and said, "Either stay at home or study at Mu's house. Occasionally, he went to a few friends' houses to have a drink and chat."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Is it with Jinglong and others? They like to attract famous prostitutes to accompany you. Are you very good at this?"
Cut! Who do you think of your brother? Xu Hao immediately left it clear: "No, not once, I have agreed in advance every time I attend. No need for a woman to accompany you."
"real?"
"Really, if you don't believe me, go and ask Brother Jinglong."
Zhu Yuanzhang praised and said, "You are a good child, tell you the truth. They are all the top players in the teaching room and are best at it. They are the heroic skills of killing people on the Qinhuai River. Come and change them to him."
Xu Hao seemed very surprised. He thought to himself that it was Nanqu on the Qinhuai River, not from the palace. He really knew nothing about this kind of romance, because he had never been to the brothel of the Huafang.
Just as the originally melodious and pleasant tune suddenly changed, there was an indescribable sadness in the music, I saw the dancer making a pitiful look of tears, but there was a secret teasing in his eyes.
The singer sang frownly: "It's trapped in a pit, and the canals are opened like crypts; the caves are built like a prison; the corpse burial ground is arranged like a slaughter shop; the whole thing is to live and rob.
The signature bookmaker: buy gold, don’t tug on your brother; if you are tucked by the brocade, your mother-in-law will take it by herself; if you sell money for spending, your sister will not make a credit.
The dance skirt and singing board are chasing new, and the gold is only this body; the message to the rich man, don’t be extravagant, and frugality can cure poverty as good medicine."
Zhu Yuanzhang was fascinated by the hearing, but Xu Hao was unmoved at all. It would be fine if he had not shortage of beauties in this life, so why should he buy laughter again? So he didn't have any special feelings.
Although everyone is drunk without being drunk, everyone is drunk by themselves, and their sex is not charming and others are confused by themselves, Xu Hao asked himself, don’t be greedy as a person, greedy should be struck by lightning!
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "The endless gold and silver that cannot be gambling and the fireworks that cannot be filled are the biggest sins in the world. Sometimes I really want to completely ban the gambling house, but unfortunately I did not issue an order for various reasons."
Xu Hao knew that he could not interrupt at this time. He was a spy and not a civil servant. He would be able to cross the boundaries if he talked nonsense.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed and said, "Do you like it? If you like it, give it a few. In the future, treat them as good as a good person. Even if they are guilty, they will be considered a miserable person."
Xu Hao said without thinking: "I don't want that blessing."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not force himself and waved his hand and said, "A stupid person who doesn't understand the charm! Since you don't accept it, then forget it."
The dancer, the singer knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and quietly retreated. Eunuch Li stepped forward and looked at it, and said softly: "Your Majesty hasn't finished eating yet, should you call the court's good men to come and perform singing and dancing?"
"No need." Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head and picked up half a bowl of rice. Eunuch Li knew that His Majesty valued the food the most, so he hurriedly scooped a spoonful of soup into the bowl.
Xu Hao shook his head slightly. Rice and soup are not good for his appetite, let alone it is still cold. However, he also knew that even if he was heated, it would be almost cold in the cold weather.
Zhu Yuanzhang ate slowly, and Xu Hao stood by the rules of not saying anything about food. He gradually became a little impatient, thinking that he was a junior, and it was not an exaggeration to be a jester.
So Xu Hao slowly pulled out his posture and played Tai Chi in front of the emperor's eyes. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he watched the food with relish.
After eating, Zhu Yuanzhang held a cup of tea and quietly watched the calm Xu Hao practiced one by one, and gradually became meditated and silent. He waited until Xu Hao finished practicing before he spoke.
"Who did you learn this from? It's similar to the Tai Chi Thirteen Styles of Sanfeng Old Taoist in Wudang Mountain. The spirit is similar but not the shape."
Xu Hao was stunned and said, "I learned from an old man I didn't know when I was a child. I don't know anything about it."
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately confused and said, "It was probably the disciple of the old Taoist Sanfeng. He changed the thirteen Tai Chi styles and was considered a master. After the festival, you teach me that your boxing technique is like flowing clouds and flowing water. Although it looks good but not useful, it abandoned the original way of killing enemies with softness and continuous use of hardness, which seemed to be purely for viewing purposes. It is suitable for me to practice."
Xu Hao was stunned and said in admiration: "The emperor is a martial arts master, this is for physical exercise."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "You never forgot to flatter me. Tell me, why are you here tonight?"
Xu Hao said that Xu Han had abandoned the chaotic ending and caused the death of one corpse and two lives, and finally said: "I hate such people the most. Even if the one who died was just a maid, it would be a living life. Since he died because of him, he must be punished, otherwise what is the law of nature?"
"Well said," Zhu Yuanzhang praised, and said Youyou: "Although you came to ask me for personal matters, I am still very pleased. No one can take it lightly! It seems that you are planning to let the murderer act as a eunuch? Yes, such punishment can make him suffer for the rest of his life. But aren't you afraid that the elders will be criticized for being too cruel and ignoring family affection?"
Xu Hao smiled faintly and said frankly: "Not afraid. If you like to say something, say it, and if you like to scold, I will just have a clear conscience."
Putting his heart in mind, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with satisfaction: "Well said it. Isn't this the case in my life? But I want to be peaceful and peaceful in the country. I have a clear conscience. Let the future of right and wrong, let the iron pen history books of future generations be commented on."
Xu Hao sensitively observed that the emperor's face was getting more and more flushed at this moment. He was indeed too excited. It seemed that someone was destined to die tomorrow.
In this way, the emperor thought he had fewer major concerns. When he realized that he was foolproof, he might be the time to die. It was really a blessing and a disaster.
After accompanying the emperor for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang was in high spirits tonight and talked endlessly about the past.
How many people in this world can hear the story of the past and the journey of the Emperor Hongwu in his own ears? It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Xu Hao's eyes were bright and he listened carefully, fearing that he would miss a sentence and would cause a lifetime of regret.
It is hard to find a soulmate, so Zhu Yuanzhang's conversation became even stronger, and he drank three cups of tea in a row.
Until the first update, Eunuch Li carefully reminded the emperor that it was time to rest, and Xu Hao then stood up and said goodbye.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was rare to talk about the past, felt comfortable and still smiled unsatisfiedly: "I will tell you when I am free. Then let the grandsons in the capital come and listen to it, so that they can only enjoy wealth but not the difficulties of their ancestors in starting a business! By the way, your old man invited them together and everyone would have tea and tell stories together. It would be a pleasure."
Xu Hao sighed in his heart, and said with great interest: "I wish, your Majesty, let's take a break soon, I will leave."
At this moment, the palace maids and eunuchs who had been waiting for a long time quickly stepped forward to serve the emperor's sleep. Eunuch Li sent Xu Hao out of the Qianqing Palace and naturally raised his thumbs up.
"It has been nearly two years since the Crown Prince passed away. This is the first time that our family has seen the priest so comfortable. It is also the first time we have seen someone accompanying the saint in the Qianqing Palace for so long. You are really amazing. We dare to assert tonight that Mr. Xu, your future is limitless. At that time, don't forget the villain."
Xu Hao smiled and said, "I'll give you a good word. Not only will I not forget my father-in-law, but the one in the north is the most nostalgic, but I will definitely not forget my father-in-law."
"Haha!" Eunuch Li smiled knowingly, stopped and gave a deep bow to Xu Hao, watched the young nobleman nod slightly, then raised his chest and walked away slowly.
Eunuch Li put away his smile and said meaningfully: "Looking at his confidant, you can tell that his master's character is indeed not simple!"
An hour later, three crisp sounds of clappers and the loud "Beware of Fire Candle" came from the guest.
Xu Hao couldn't fall asleep at the personal army's mansion outside the Forbidden City, so he stood on the red charcoal basin under his feet and waited quietly for the news.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and Xu Hao pressed his left hand on the handle of the golden wire wrapped in Xiuchun Knife. The next moment, he heard a gentle knock outside the door.
Xu Hao stuffed the knife under the pillow and said, "Come in."
The door was slowly opened, Mu Xi strode in without squinting eyes, and knelt on one knee: "Sir, Xu Han unfortunately died suddenly."
Xu Hao frowned and asked, "How did he die?"
"Sir, I will die of bleeding when castrated." Mu Xi's face did not change.
Xu Hao stared at Mu Xi for a long time and said softly: "If you don't do anything well, you will cut off your fingers if you go down."
"I will receive the order." Mu Xi's expression remained unchanged, and she stood up and slowly retreated to the door, turned around and strode away.
Xu Hao picked up the tea and tasted it. After a while, Shi Feng walked in and said, "Sir, Mu Xi has cut off his fingers and sent them to the hospital."
"My Jinyiwei has always been punished for his mistakes and rewarded for his merits. From now on, Mu Xi will be the general banner of the seventh rank. I will report to him that the emperor will be the leader. If you don't accept it, you will also make contributions to me in the future."
