Chapter 101 Chapter 101
The anger has been frozen, and the whole body seems to be frozen together. There was a long silence, Donghua turned around, and walked out of the Zichen Palace without anyone knowing.
Arriving at Linde Hall, Donghua realized for the first time that the hall was so deserted, and Chaoyue's figure was so out of reach. If it was like before, it would be fine if she never got close and could only respect each other, but now she clearly It has become a part of myself, integrated into the flesh and blood, but I can only watch helplessly and cannot be touched. It feels like my heart has been gouged out, and the missing piece is placed in front of my eyes. The pain in the heart, but also to see the pain with your own eyes.Doesn't it mean that you just accept what's right, but that's why those who know their fate don't stand under a rock wall?Whether I know my fate or not, why am I in such a situation again?On weekdays, she strictly abides by it with all her heart, is cautious and restrains herself, but does she understand Chaoyue or not? If even she doesn't understand all this, is it worth it?She only knows that I love Shu Xiyu, but does she know that I also like wine tasting?He obviously likes fine wines and fine wines, but he has all kinds of scruples and never drinks freely.Thinking of this, Donghua only felt that the depression in his heart was difficult to solve, so he ordered the palace people to bring the latest fine wine that was tributed to the palace.The palace people were astonished when they heard the words, the sage never drank in the Linde Palace, but only had a little drink on the feast in the palace, and now he wanted a sample of each tribute, but who would dare not obey the order of the sage?
Donghua looked at the row of wine jars next to the case, from Jiuyunchun, Zaoji Town to Chenxiangting, and Lingyoulujiu, it can be said that there are all things that should be there and shouldn’t be here, and then look at the one closest to him It was Fenqing who paid tribute from the middle of Jin. When Donghua saw that it was Shanxi Fenjiu, he knew it was strong, so he hesitated a little, but he was worried that the wine could not solve it, so he turned around and took the Dushan jade cup.As soon as the cup was filled, he heard the palace official tell Zhong Taiyi to see him. Donghua frowned slightly when he heard that, so he looked up and said, "Xuan, after that, no one else will be seen." Before he could say anything, the palace servants retreated quickly with trembling, no matter what, no one dared to disturb this Linde Hall anyway.
As soon as Baicao stepped into the gate of the palace, she said directly: "It seems that brother really has to go, I heard that brother has already drank blood this morning..." Before he finished speaking, he saw a row of wine jars next to the table, and Baicao instantly Shocked: "Senior brother, what are you doing?" Then, looking at the opened Fenjiu, he hurriedly said, "This Fenjiu is strong, senior brother, you must never drink it!"
Donghua didn't raise his eyes, he just took a sip from the jade cup and replied: "It's just in time to come, let's taste the tribute wine together." After speaking, he poured wine for Baicao.Seeing Donghua drink up the rest of the wine in the cup, Baicao hurriedly stepped forward and continued to persuade: "Senior brother, you are not judging tribute wine, you are obviously using wine to drown your sorrows! But brother, did you forget? Don't get drunk!"
Donghua continued to pour the wine and replied blankly: "Fen wine is the ancestor of wine and the treasure of the country. If you want to taste it, you can keep it, and if you don't taste it, you can leave."
Fenjiu has a thousand years of fragrance and has a long history. As the saying goes: water is the blood in the wine, rice is the meat in the wine, and koji is the bone in the wine.When talking about the flesh and blood of Fenjiu, the first thing to talk about is its blood—the water spring must be fragrant, and the water used in Fenjiu is the spring of the horse racing; Sorghum; Qu medicine must be seasoned, and its brewing has been handed down from mouth to mouth and inherited from master to apprentice for thousands of years.Therefore, the liquid of Fenjiu is clear and transparent, with a pure fragrance. It is soft in the mouth, sweet in the mouth, mellow and refreshing, with a lingering fragrance and a clean aftertaste.Calling it the ancestor of wine is also worthy of the name. Guizhou and Jin are nine thousand miles apart. Because of the inconvenience of carrying salt merchants in Shanxi, they directly fetch water to make wine in Guizhou. Moutai.
Now that the country's treasure is in his mouth, Donghua only feels that it is clear, but not sweet, but it is obviously a tribute wine, so Donghua hastily poured another cup and drank it up, but he still frowned after drinking it.
Seeing this, Baicao snatched the jade cups on several cases, "Senior brother knows that 'drawing a knife cuts off the water and makes it flow more, and raising a cup to relieve sorrow and sorrow makes more sorrow', this drinking method will only increase worries, and will not know what kind of disaster it will cause. Isn't Senior Brother always cautious and restrained?"
It’s okay not to persuade Donghua, but this time Donghua snatched back the jade cup, "What else should I restrain? The army will rise in two days, if you really follow me, go back and pack your bags, or you will ruin someone else's wine if you don't taste wine." Interested." After saying that, he filled the jade cup again.
It must be impossible to grab it, Baicao shook her head and said: "Senior brother, don't make His Majesty angry and sad again."
Donghua frowned deeply: "She is angry? How else is she going to get angry?" After finishing speaking, he got up angrily and pushed Baicao out of the hall, then sternly ordered the guards of the imperial army not to let anyone enter the hall.Before going back to a few cases, Donghua couldn't help becoming irritable, and he couldn't even taste the wine, but the anger accumulated in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, and he could only continue to pour it out one by one.
Baicao was driven out of the hall by Donghua, so he hurried to Zichen Hall with all kinds of anxiety, but when he arrived at Zichen Hall, he was told that Chaoyue was not in the hall but drove to Hanxiang Hall, so Baicao hurried to find it.
Outside the hall of Hanxiang, Chaoyue was standing outside the hall. She neither ordered anyone to tell her about it nor went in to see her aunt. Maybe the matter was so ridiculous that even my aunt couldn't open her mouth, so she still hasn't visited to persuade her in the future, or maybe this time Even my aunt couldn't comfort her.Just as he was hesitating, Baicao had rushed over, Chaoyue heard her heart trembling, but her face was still calm, and her footsteps did not move at all, this panic and anger destroyed Baicao, Baicao plopped and knelt down on Chaoyue He hurriedly said in front of him: "Your Majesty really just watched? If something really goes wrong, senior brother, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous!" Seeing this, Chaoyue rushed to help, but Baicao refused to get up no matter what.Although Chaoyue was silent on the face, she couldn't help complaining in her heart that Donghua ignored it one after another, but when she thought that the difference was really big or small, even though there was a hundred reluctance in her heart, her steps couldn't help but hurry Rushing to the Linde Hall, the people who retreated behind hurriedly followed.
Outside the Linde Hall, Chaoyue saw that the door was still closed and the guards were calm as usual, she finally felt relieved, after giving the order to strictly guard, she hesitated for a moment and pushed the door open, but the scene in front of her left Chaoyue with lingering fears.The row of wine jars next to the case are not fully opened but not many are sealed, and the wine in the jars is not known to be a little less. Looking at the case, Donghua is already drunk, and he is looking at the wine with his head propped on one hand. Holding the jade cup in the other hand, one head of black hair spread out and hung down. The black hair covered Donghua's side face and he couldn't see his expression clearly. When Chaoyue approached, his heart trembled violently. What he was holding was not a jade cup, but a jade crown. A jade hairpin was lying safely beside the jade crown, but Donghua still seemed to be smiling.
Chaoyue stared blankly at Donghua, her heart was overwhelmed, and the scene of Donghua's drunkenness in the study of the son-in-law's mansion suddenly appeared in her mind. At that time, this person was extremely wronged, but now, all this is not driven by others, it is all yours. Determined, the incomprehensible "what I should do" still rang in his ears, but when he was about to turn around, Donghua turned his head and looked over, and his footsteps looking at Chaoyue were nailed in place.
Donghua said with a smile on his lips, "Yue'er is here? But come help me taste this Shanxi Fenjiu?"
Chaoyue stood in front of the case, thinking that this Shanxi Fenjiu should be Fenqing from the land of Jinzhong. Frowning from the strong and mixed smell of alcohol, Donghua murmured: "How can this Fenjiu be bitter... The wine in the palace is always bitter..." His eyes looked at the jade hairpin again.Chaoyue walked towards the jade hairpin unknowingly, although she couldn't see clearly, she clearly knew what was written on it.Seeing Chaoyue approaching, Donghua took Chaoyue's hand with drunken eyes and asked, "Yue'er, have you ever heard of 'How can there be a double law in the world, and you will not lose to the Tathagata and not to your Qing'?" suffering.
This question caused Chaoyue to miss two knots in her heartbeat, is it worthy of the Tathagata and worthy of Qing?What kind of shocking love is this, trying to balance the beloved with the supreme Buddha, but how can this be balanced!Chaoyue looked at the painful smile in Donghua's eyes, but the pain in her heart was even worse, you just talk nonsense here after drinking, if I said you failed me, but you didn't really do anything wrong to me But if it is said that you are not responsible, but you have already agreed to her and left immediately, what are you going to do?
Looking at Chaoyue whose eyes were full of pain and confusion, Donghua embraced Chaoyue and continued to murmur: "Yue'er, Yue'er, I don't think it's enough to call you a million times, if you really abandon me, Then let me die, but even if I die, I will die in your arms, and I will be able to look at you even if I die."
Chaoyue hurriedly reached out her hand to cover Donghua's mouth, complaining endlessly: "How can you be so outspoken again, how can you talk about life and death lightly? You forgot that your life is mine? I just let you always owe it to me." I owe it to me." After saying that, the tears in his eyes slowly flowed down, and then Chaoyue took a wooden comb, looking at Donghua with drunken eyes, and gently combed the black hair that had grown a lot , After combing the hair smoothly and skillfully into a bun, he picked up the jade crown and put it on Donghua's head.Maybe this hair is combed very comfortably. Donghua has fallen asleep on the desk. Chaoyue got up silently. Looking at Donghua's eyebrows, she couldn't help raising her hand and whispering: "You are still you at this moment, why are you After waking up, it’s not you anymore?” Looking at the drunk Donghua, Chaoyue put a kiss on Donghua’s lips, only wanting to leave a kiss, but unexpectedly left a tear , Seeing the tears sinking into the corner of Donghua's lips, Chaoyue hurriedly covered her face and got up, stood for a long time and walked out of the hall, but turned around after walking a few steps, gently took off the jade crown and spread the other end Wufa then went straight out of Linde Hall.
It turns out that what really needs to be broken through between the two is never just the secular barrier, but between the two.
The next day Donghua woke up only to feel a sore neck and back. Looking around, he always felt that something was wrong. Wasn't Yue'er here last night?Is this just a spring dream?Shaking her swollen head, she caught a glimpse of her loose hair and the jade crown on the case. It seemed that it was really just a dream. How could she come to see her, let alone comb her hair.
There were only two days left, and more than half a day had passed since the drunkenness. Donghua hurriedly drank the sober soup and changed his clothes to arrange military affairs. The originally planned division of troops into three groups was led by Donghua himself, Wang Sili and Li Guangbi respectively. Along the way, now that the soldiers from Huihe are bound to win, there is no need to keep troops to guard the capital, so Donghua divides this part of the force into two parts to the east and west. If this is the case, the enemy can still enter the capital. You die, you have to die.Unexpectedly, Li Guangbi played his true nature and wanted to follow Donghua to pacify Anshi. Ren Donghua's threat of disobedience to military orders and military laws did not work, so he had no choice but to order Wang Sili to lead the army west.Donghua entrusted this important military officer to guard the western frontier, and told him to march secretly and not follow the official path. Although Wang Sili had doubts, he followed the military order closely.After the arrangement was made in the army, it was already the afternoon of the second day, and Donghua deliberately set aside time to rush to the Zichen Hall, where Liu Yan was already waiting outside the hall.
Xiang'er saw that Donghua came with court officials and knew that it was something about the court and dared not stop him, so she went in to report.Chaoyue was in a state of confusion about the departure of the army tomorrow, and Liu Yan, the servant of the household department, was puzzled in every possible way, so he had to declare.
Donghua knew that although Chaoyue valued talented people, Liu Yan, a seven-year-old child prodigy, was mediocre. Chaoyue was most impressed by this courtier who became famous at a young age and therefore was rather arrogant. All kinds of rhetoric to the prince of the Tang Dynasty at the time of eloquence means that Chaoyue has no preference for talents, which can be described as mediocre, but Chaoyue was not overwhelmed by Liu Yan's actions and the occasional arrogance in the court afterwards. It is rare to belittle or release him.
After entering the Zichen Palace, Chaoyue's eyes only fell on Liu Yan all the time, making Liu Yan a little at a loss.Donghua saw that Chaoyue didn't look at him and he didn't speak, so he opened his mouth first and said: "Liu Aiqing has a lot of opinions on the food shortage in Guanzhong and the blockage of water transportation mentioned by Your Majesty a few days ago, and he recommended himself to share His Majesty's worries. He proposed to dredge the river. Food from the south to the north was transferred to relieve this distress, so I brought him here to meet His Majesty."
Chaoyue's cold eyes suddenly brightened a little, seeing Donghua looking at him, he turned to Liu Yan and asked: "Dredging the river, diverting grain from the south to the north, Liu Aiqing really came with a good plan, I don't know where the grain will be transferred from? "
Liu Yan looked bewildered, and Donghua hurriedly replied: "Transported from the Jianghuai River, Bianshui, Weikou and other places have abundant rain, and there is a lot of surplus food in addition to local consumption. Not only can it be transferred to many places in Guanzhong, but it can also enrich the Chang'an granary. "
Chaoyue couldn't help nodding her head in approval, but seeing that Donghua was answering, she turned to ask Liu Yan's views on local governance when he was a magistrate, and Liu Yan answered them one by one, and the previous blankness gradually turned into eloquence. .Seeing this, Donghua finally felt at ease, and only asked Liu Yan to be less arrogant and not to anger Chaoyue. He planned to do these things for her, but now he can only hand them over to Liu Yan. Sure enough, the fate still wants to make this person, very good .In the past, Donghua was displeased because Chaoyue was tied up with court politics, but now fortunately there is still court politics to talk about, otherwise what excuse would he use to meet Chaoyue?
As the sky was getting dark, Liu Yan resigned and looked at Donghua as if he had something to ask, but seeing that Donghua had no intention of leaving, he withdrew first, Xiang'er also retreated outside the hall tactfully.
The hall where there were only two people left was silent again, only the rustling sound of Chaoyue looking down at the memorabilia.After standing silently for a long time, Donghua sighed softly, but he didn't expect the sigh to sound very loud at the moment. Chaoyue paused, and Donghua took advantage of the situation to say: "Liu Yan has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. Although he is a bit arrogant, But being diligent and upright, not afraid of powerful officials, will definitely help Yue'er. Besides, the troops will be dispatched at [-] o'clock tomorrow, will Yue'er go?"
At this question, Chaoyue froze in mid-air with the melody in his hand, and looked at Donghua with burning eyes, as if saying, are you leaving tomorrow?You want me to see you off?
Donghua was stared at by this gaze and immediately didn't know what to do. He just lowered his head slightly and continued: "Let's go, to comfort the army."
When Chaoyue heard this, she nodded after being silent for a long while and said, "Sage King Donghua went out to fight for me himself, so there is no reason not to send him off. He should be a hero for my Tang soldiers."
Donghua only felt that these words seemed to be said to an irrelevant person, but he was glad that he had spoken, otherwise she might not plan to go, but she always puts the overall situation first, so forget it , don't guess.Looking out of the dark window, Donghua looked at Chaoyue and said: "Then I will go to say goodbye to my aunt, and then, then I will go back to Linde Hall." Donghua prayed thousands of times in his heart, hoping that Chaoyue would keep him In Zichen Palace, it would be good to have dinner together, but Chaoyue looked away, only replied "OK" and continued to just read the memorial.
When the whiteness disappeared before her eyes, Chaoyue put down the memorial in her hands and said to the palace door with a long sigh of relief: "I really want to watch you go again, but if I see you with her tomorrow, what do you want me to do? Shall I send you away with a smile?"
