Chapter 85: Awaken the bright moon one day, fill me with ice and snow
The night is low, the moon is bright and the stars are few.
Above the Yuanjiang River, a large fleet of honor guard ships was stationed on the river.
Among them, the most luxurious and majestic one is the dragon boat where Emperor Dayun is riding. Countless lights on its deck have been lit up. This scene of brilliant lights, accompanied by the sweet sound of dance music coming from it, is like a paradise in paradise.
Generally speaking, people can't help but yearn for it.
On the deck, hundreds of palace people have just prepared a banquet. Over there, a group of court officials have already taken their seats under the leadership of the palace people.
Tonight's banquet was a sudden idea of His Majesty's, so it seemed a bit hasty.
Fortunately, the number of ministers who came to the banquet this time was only a dozen or so, otherwise a corresponding banquet would not have been prepared in less than two hours.
Not long after, all the invited officials were seated, and they heard the sharp voices of the palace officials, shouting in unison:
"Your Majesty is here!"
After hearing this, all the ministers hurriedly stood up. Facing Xiao Cheng, who was walking slowly in a regular dragon robe, they all bent down to greet him, bowing and saying:
"My lord, please see your Majesty!"
At this time, Xiao Cheng seemed to be in a good mood. He waved his sleeves and said:
"No formalities! This banquet is an impromptu idea of mine to share the scenery on the river with you. I have agreed in advance that you can be a little more indulgent during this banquet. Don't be tense because you always worry about etiquette. Tonight
Even if there is any crime of misconduct, I will absolve you of it."
When the ministers who came to the banquet heard this, they immediately smiled, leaned over and saluted again, and said:
"yes!"
Of course, that's just what I said. None of the officials here are stupid, and no one really let go at the banquet.
It is spring at this time, and the evening breeze on the river is neither impatient nor impatient, which is just right. Looking at the scenery on the river from the dragon boat can't help but make people feel comfortable.
Xiao Cheng leaned slightly on the dragon chair, looked at the scenery on the river in the distance, sat up straight again, looked around at the ministers present, and suddenly smiled:
"Hahaha, all the ministers here are well versed in literary matters. The scenery on the river is good for the king and his ministers. Wouldn't it be a pity if we didn't leave a few poems for future generations?"
"Before the banquet begins, I will set up a competition. The ministers will use the surrounding scenery as the theme. There is no limit to the genre, including poetry and poetry. In the end, the winner will be decided. If anyone can win the first prize, I..."
Having said this, Xiao Cheng paused for a moment, then casually took off a piece of jade from his waist, held it in his hand, and said loudly:
"Let's take this jade jade with a dragon pattern as the starting point!"
The jade with the dragon pattern is completely translucent. It is swaying slightly in Xiao Cheng's hand. On the warm jade, there is a faint light flowing, which is quite magical.
【Third Grade Treasure, Jade with Panlong Pattern
Introduction: A jade jade with a dragon pattern engraved on it is one of the "six auspiciousnesses" of ancient rituals. It is said that jade can channel spirits and be worn by a gentleman. It can ward off evil spirits and is extremely precious.
Wearing effect: After wearing, health +5, moral +5]
Since meeting Yan Song, Xiao Cheng has been asking Dongchang and Guanzhang to investigate carefully. In order to please him, some people searched the people for rare treasures and disturbed the local people.
But even so, when the local gentry and wealthy businessmen along the way saw that the Yun Kingdom was now prospering and that it was already using the power of one country to suppress other countries and whip the world, they naturally tried their best to please them and wanted to use this to sneak into the Yun Kingdom.
Above the court hall.
Therefore, Xiao Cheng did get a lot of good things when he traveled here. At this time, he took out a third-grade treasure as a lottery ticket and didn't care at all.
Most of the people present believed that they were talented and not inferior to others, so they were naturally very interested in the competition proposed by Xiao Cheng.
If you can win the jackpot, be personally rewarded by the king, and even leave poems to be passed down through the ages, few people can refuse such a temptation.
It's just that everyone at this time couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to let go. Even if they wanted to, no one took the lead to stand up.
Seeing this, Xiao Cheng continued to laugh and said:
"All the ministers have hidden their talents, and they don't want to be the first to stand up... In this case, let's throw the chopsticks and choose someone!"
Having said this, Xiao Cheng casually took the silver chopsticks from the desk and said:
"Let's start with the one pointed by the chopstick head!"
After saying that, Xiao Cheng tossed it casually, and the silver chopsticks circled in the air several times and landed on the table. The head of the chopsticks pointed at Xiao Cheng himself.
When Xiao Cheng saw this, he was slightly startled. He looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Since the rules are set by me, then follow them. I'll give you a heads up!"
After saying that, Xiao Cheng raised his head and looked around at the scenery on the river. After considering it for a while, he said loudly:
"The river is flat at dusk, and the spring flowers are in full bloom. The moon is blown away by the waves, and the stars are brought in by the tide."
"good!"
As soon as Xiao Cheng finished speaking, before anyone else could react, Feng Bao, who was waiting on the side, immediately cheered loudly.
"The surface of the river is flat and quiet, and the spring flowers on the riverside are in full bloom. There are also waves in the water, and the moon and stars shine together. Reading slowly, it is like admiring a painting of a clear autumn moonlit night. These few sentences only make people feel graceful and graceful. But
If you take a closer look, the stars and moon at night merge into one with the mighty river, and the majestic scene will immediately appear before your eyes!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Feng Bao, who was patting the horse wildly, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
In fact, the level of this poem is really not low. People who have never heard of this poem may never guess that this poem was written by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty who caused the "Dragon Boat Incident in the Water Palace".
Do!
Xiao Cheng ignored Feng Bao, played with the silver chopsticks in his hand, and tossed it again.
When the chopsticks fell this time, they naturally did not continue to point at Xiao Cheng, but at Xiao Cheng's left hand, a civil servant who looked dignified, gentle and elegant, with a naturally gentle aura, and seemed to be able to blend in with the surrounding environment.
"Huang Shang, you come this time!" Xiao Cheng said.
Huang Shang laughed helplessly when he heard this. After thinking for a long time, he finally said:
"Have a banquet with the joy of acacia, and serve the guests and friends of the happy country; cherish the scenery, and wait for the wind and moon of good times. This person has the three benefits, and is lucky to meet the four. The stars are sparse in the six scenes, and the wind is gentle. The sky is golden and fine.
Implicit, the earth spreads the brilliance of silver. If you know all the emotions far and near, don't question them; if you are filled with the same color, you can take in the wonderful scenery."
The wording of this poem is quite good, and it is quite appropriate to sing it at this time. It is just a bit of a coincidence that it does not describe the scene, but focuses on the banquet.
Xiao Cheng raised his hand to applaud Huang Shang, then looked around at everyone present and continued:
"My lords, please don't hide it. Is it possible that I can't give this piece of jade away?"
As soon as this statement came out, it seemed to have the meaning of irritation.
When there was a civil servant who was sharp and full of youthful heroism, he stood up, bowed to Xiao Cheng, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, I am missing a piece of jade. So I am bold enough to compete with Your Majesty, Mr. Huang, for this precious jade!"
Xiao Cheng looked at the young civil servant who stood up, smiled even more, and said:
"Qiji is willing to fight, I can do anything!"
When Xin Qiji heard this, he immediately stepped out of the queue and said loudly:
"Rongcheng defeated hundreds of thousands of enemies, and Qujing became famous. The romance of the past is here, and the fame of thousands of miles will never rest. The king has three hundred states.
The swan is determined to defeat the sparrow, and the diao cicada is out of its pocket. Even though the world is vast and vast, I am willing to defend the king with a sharp sword and win the king's Panlong Bi."
Wu Zixu, the frontline commander, defeated 100,000 enemy troops in Rongcheng. He was able to shock the world and was awarded the title of Marquis of Qujing. The reason why heroes can be famous throughout the ages is that they have made countless contributions and served the country and the king.
Honghu's ambition is more lofty than that of the sparrows. Wearing the Diao Chan crown and becoming His Majesty's minister should be obtained by fighting on the battlefield, not by relying on favor. No matter how vast the world is, I am willing to hold a sharp sword and defend you to the death.
, I only hope to get the Panlong Jade as a reward from you.
The short words and sentences fully show the heroic spirit of a sharp-edged young man and his desire to go to the battlefield in person to gain merit.
After Xiao Cheng thought about a few words carefully, he laughed and said:
"What? You don't want to continue serving as a cabinet minister by my side?"
It seems that this is a poem written by Xin Qiji in order to win the jade.
But in fact, the meaning of the word is to express that he does not want to become Xiao Cheng's confidant without any merit.
Although this cabinet is always by His Majesty's side, it is regarded by the courtiers as the road to success. However, Xin Qiji himself did not care. Instead, he wanted to go to the battlefield to gain merit and truly become a minister that the king could trust and rely on.
At this time, Xin Qiji bowed slightly and saluted, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, please do it!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, his eyes moved, he raised the jade in his hand again, and said with a smile:
"If you can get this jade tonight, I will fulfill your wish!"
When Xin Qiji heard this, his eyes immediately lit up with joy, and his tone was high and authentic:
"I will definitely win the jade tonight!"
Xiao Cheng nodded, continued to look at the officials, and said:
"In this case, who else is willing to come out next..."
At this point, Xiao Cheng suddenly stopped speaking, raised his head suddenly, and looked into the distance.
The officials present noticed his Majesty's somewhat strange reaction and subconsciously followed his gaze.
But in the distance, on the river surface, a dense mass of fog covering the entire Yuanjiang River was slowly gathering towards the honor guard fleet.
At this time, Yu Huatian suddenly tensed up, quickly moved to Xiao Cheng's side, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid not..."
Xiao Cheng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Yes!"
Staring at the thick fog in the distance, with a thought, the golden auspicious clouds covering the Yun Kingdom suddenly rolled up in the sight that ordinary people could not see. The golden dragon of luck, symbolizing the national destiny of the Yun Kingdom, was among the Qingyun.
Faintly visible.
The power of national destiny quietly merged into Xiao Cheng's body.
There was golden light flashing in the pupils of Xiao Cheng's eyes. If anyone could look carefully, they would find that Xiao Cheng's eyes were like dragon pupils at this time.
Xiao Cheng was originally in the realm of land gods, and almost no one in the world could compare with him. At this time, with the help of the Yun Kingdom's national destiny, his perception was stronger. Mainly on the land of the Yun Kingdom, there was nothing that could be hidden in front of Xiao Cheng.
And in Xiao Cheng's perception at this time, in the thick fog in the distance, there were dozens of figures carrying murderous auras, looming among them.
Assassins are coming!
The officials at the banquet at this time were all talented people that Xiao Cheng had accumulated. Facing the sudden and extremely strange mist, they also noticed something strange.
Xiao Cheng stood up slightly, glanced at Huang Shang, Xin Qiji, Sun Bin and others one by one, and finally said with a slightly dull expression:
"Tonight's banquet will definitely not end too early!"
Seeing the profound meaning in Xiao Cheng's words, and looking at the thick fog coming in the distance, everyone suddenly understood. They immediately stood up, bowed and shouted:
"I would like to have fun with Your Majesty!"
At this time, the imperial troops stationed on both sides of the strait to protect the honor guard also discovered the strange thick fog. The noisy sound of mobilizing troops and horses suddenly resounded on both sides of the strait.
"The world is busy and the world is disturbed. The idle thoughts are really laughable. How long will it last for prosperity and decline, and how long will it be for success and failure? Even though we are here today, we will never be able to protect our future. Wen Kang recognizes the path of inaction. Practice the two perfections of merit and conduct, and carry them with you.
Yunxiao pointed to Penglai Island."
A clear and clear voice recited slowly. In the sound of reciting poems, there was a sense of looking at the mortal world indifferently and being at ease in the world, and there was an air of otherworldliness.
In the sky, a figure wearing a plain Taoist robe was seen, holding Taoist seals with his hands, and coming through the air.
He waved his robes and held the Dharma seals with his hands. The surrounding water vapor suddenly gathered and lingered here, and finally condensed into the extremely thick fog in front of him, blocking his sight.
Zhuang Zuan walked in the air, Feng Xu Yufeng looked down at Xiao Cheng and said loudly:
"San Ren Zhuan, I have met His Majesty the Emperor Yun!"
Xiao Cheng raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Zhuang Zuan, who was standing high in the sky, with a cold look on his face.
But before Xiao Cheng could say anything, he heard a "crack" sound and the sound of a sword being unsheathed.
"Bold! Your Majesty is here, come down!"
Before he finished speaking, a cold light burst out, and the mighty sword light filled everyone's sight.
Xin Qiji was at the peak of his vigor. When he saw someone approaching aggressively and daring to offend the Holy Emperor, he immediately threw off his official robe, grabbed the sword from the hand of the Imperial Guards General beside him, and took action boldly.
In an instant, a strange movement of the power of heaven and earth was triggered, which combined with Xin Qiji's revealed essence, energy, and spirit, and turned into a cold, bright moon, emerging in the sky.
At this time, there was a strange phenomenon of two moons coexisting in the sky.
Xin Qiji, who brazenly attacked Zhuang Zuan, felt deeply at this moment and shouted loudly:
"Awakening of a day, the bright moon shines upon my bosom full of ice and snow, and the mighty rivers flow. The whale has not yet swallowed the sea, but the sword energy has already spread across the autumn."
Once the artistic conception is reached, the bright moon shines brightly, and the cold moonlight shines all around.
Countless sword energy, condensed and manifested by the moonlight, gathered together with great momentum, like all rivers returning to the sea. Under the shining moonlight of the bright moon, the sword energy became even more cold and dignified.
The momentum was so majestic and the edge was so compelling that even Zhuang Zuan, who was already in the land of immortals, couldn't help but feel frightened.
People from hundreds of families were hiding in the thick fog and heading towards the dragon boat where Xiao Cheng was.
Looking at Xin Qiji, who was showing off his ninth-level might and killing Zhuang Zuan brazenly, Cen Zhiyong showed a look of astonishment on his face and couldn't help but ask the people around him:
"No, the official uniform of the Yun Kingdom that the man is wearing seems to belong to a civil servant, right?"
"Well, the embroidered owl is the official uniform of the seventh-grade civil servant of Yun State."
Cen Zhiyong raised his head and looked at Xin Qiji, who was actually able to fight with Zhuang Zuan at the ninth level of cultivation. The corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he couldn't help but cursed:
"Is this horse riding a civil servant?"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Sorry, I was dealing with the plagiarism issue today, so I was a little late.
Now the result is almost finalized. If there are no objections from the reviewer, the book will probably be blocked on Monday.
These past two days have made me very angry.
Yesterday, the person posted the outline on the author forum and vowed that if I could punish him for plagiarism, he would delete the book and apologize.
As a result, many people who didn't know the truth came back to accuse me, saying that I wouldn't let others write whatever I wrote. I was so angry that I stayed awake for half the night, and immediately spent a thousand dollars to find someone to make a color palette.
Then today I put out the palette and compared it, and it turned out that the person who was jumping around at first was gone, and I didn’t see him deleting books. And those who accused me and doubted me yesterday were all gone.
hehe……

I guess in this chapter, some people said that I am too slow to update. I have been in a bad state due to this matter in the past two days. Please forgive me.
When next Monday, the matter is completely over and the company is no longer busy, I will update...
