The civet cat pounced on the mouse and fled over the wall; the parrot chirped in the hallway and suddenly became mute.
Yuan Zhongwu roared and burst out of the door. Not only did he drink away all the slaves, but he also scared the rare birds and beasts raised in the mansion so that they did not dare to say a word.
Just when he was furious, a soft and majestic female voice came in along with the sound of sandals: "Zhong Wu, who made you so angry? This will make the manager kick him out of the house!"
When Yuan Zhongwu heard this, his arrogance immediately disappeared, and he timidly shouted: "Mother..."
Immediately, two lines of turbid tears fell down again in vain.
The person who came was none other than Wang Yunxiu, wife of Yuan Zai and mother of Yuan Zhongwu. She had only been in Luoyang for two days with Yuan Zai. Naturally, her purpose was not to help Yuan Zai seize the unnecessary "Rushui Sword". She was to see what Yuan Zai was.
Zai and Wang Jin, his uncle from the Wang clan, had a rift because they failed to conspire to suppress Zoroastrianism, so they came to try to persuade them to make peace.
As soon as I arrived, I bumped into my second son Yuan Zhongwu whose old hemorrhoids had recurred. He was ill and could not get out of bed. He was extremely concerned. He immediately advised me in a gentle voice: "As my mother wishes, you should have changed your past temper."
, it is better to recite more Buddhist scriptures, calm your mind and cultivate your nature. Don’t spend the whole day wearing jade and incense, getting drunk and causing trouble, which will make your father angry."
Yuan Zhongwu was lying on the couch, crying: "Dad, what day did he not play songs and drink, dance and eat? Why did he order me to stay in the bedroom, observe the precepts and eat fast today? How is it different from the monks in the temple?
?!"
Wang Yunxiu looked slightly stunned: "Zhongwu, you are so old and have the job of being a member of the ancestral temple, but you still want to have sex? Now that you are sick, you should rest well, but you still miss that dog and horse.
How long will it take for you to be able to make some progress in sensual entertainment?!"
Yuan Zhongwu and even his mother had a tough and aggressive character, so even his father Yuan Zai had to give in a little bit, and immediately did not dare to do anything wrong again. He just lay down on the bed and cried bitterly, looking like he was in pain.
Wang Yunxiu left him alone for a long time, and saw that he was crying sadly, sobbing intermittently, and was weeping uncontrollably. Finally, his heart softened, and he called two maids waiting outside, caressing his back and said: "Mother, I know you are early."
I like Zhen Niang and Xiu Niang, and brought them here from Chang'an. They will serve in front of your bed tonight, so that my mother can feel more at ease... It's just a matter, so be careful."
Yuan Zhongwu burst into tears and laughed. The pain in his anus seemed to have eased a lot. He hugged Wang Yunxiu's arm and said, "Mother loves the baby the most! The baby will be in good health in the future, and he will try his best every day to please his mother!"
"
Wang Yunxiu saw that he was sleeping well and whispered many words in his ear before getting up and leaving.
Yuan Zhongwu, however, had been attacked by evil spirits for a long time and could not hold himself back. As soon as he saw his mother leaving, he immediately ordered her to be called Zhenniang. Xiu Niang's two maids opened their clothes and opened their arms and sat in front of the couch with their hands wrapped in rice dumplings.
He immediately attacked his chest, endured the pain, and kneaded it arbitrarily. The two maids were in tears, but they dared not speak in anger. After he grinned and humiliated him for a long time, he was allowed to stand up and rub his sore knees and calves.
Just as the two maids were bowing to each other and wanted to retreat outside, Yuan Zhongwu, who was lying on the couch, glared and ordered the two maids to take off their clothes and sleep with him on the same couch. The two maids did not dare to disobey and swallowed back their tears.
, took off his clothes and got on the couch, and amidst Yuan Zhongwu's shouts, he lay down on his back with his shoulders up, called "Human Yin", closed his eyes and let him do what he did.
However, just when Yuan Zhongwu propped up his elbows and carefully climbed onto the "Human Yin" and wanted to do whatever he wanted, the humiliation he suffered that day suddenly came to his mind again. His lower body was even softer than a soup cake, and it was difficult for him to do so.
The power is in vain and has no effect, and it is no longer possible to behave humanly...
The glow of fireflies warmed the screen window. After a long time, an unwilling howl of pain finally came from the window.
Yingchuan's villa is growing in early summer, and jade wine and string songs fill the night hall.
In a large and spacious hall, the lights are like a forest, and the lights are as bright as day. The pillars, caissons, tables, cups and plates...are filled with colorful light, which is very dazzling. In the middle of the hall, there is a camel hair blanket from Khotan Kingdom.
, seven dancers in thin skirts leaped on it, dancing gracefully and charmingly. Surrounded by a circle of Xuanzhou Qibao Tuan flower lichen, five musical girls played the qin, Xiao, or held the pipa.
, or holding a clapper board, sitting in the lichen, and the sound of music floats around the beams, harmonizing with the singing, which is intoxicating.
Everyone in the hall was divided into guests and hosts. Yuan Zai sat cross-legged at the head, the angel Liu Zhongyi, Cui Luo, the head of Cui Mansion, were on the left and right. The rest were all high-ranking officials in Luoyang City who were attached to Yuan Zai, Wang Jin and others, all lined up in two rows.
Under each person, there is a big ball of national grass-shaped brocade with a square shape. On the dining table in front of the person, there are cups, plates and bowls, shining with gold and silver, and with the luster of jade and porcelain.
Yuan Zai, who was sitting cross-legged, had a brocade and fine linen futon propped under his knees. The futon was embroidered with many tiny "swastika" characters with gold thread. It looked particularly eye-catching when placed on top of this grand feast.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Yuan Zai suddenly held up a glass cup and said respectfully to Liu Zhongyi on his left: "Eunuch Liu always accompanies the Holy Emperor, and he is alert both morning and night. He never slacks off for a moment. Every time we discuss this matter,
Everyone is in awe!"
Liu Zhongyi hurriedly picked up the sapphire cup on the table, and a lot of amber liquid immediately emerged, which was high-quality dry wine and peach wine. He faced Yuan Zai and said: "The saint does not think that the lower official is humble, and he is honored and favored... The lower official should be his own.
Only then can you live up to the divine grace by weaving a ring around your neck and repaying it by dying!"
After saying that, I drank it all in one gulp without forgetting to shed a few tears.
Yuan Zai held the glass cup higher in his hand and looked at the guests in the hall: "Eunuch Liu's loyalty can be demonstrated by the sun and the moon! As colleagues, we should have a drink together to respect Eunuch Liu's loyalty!
"
The guests shook their heads, raised their glasses one after another, and responded in unison: "A toast to Eunuch Liu!"
After everyone drank together, they started chewing on the delicacies on the table.
Yuan Zai was holding a silver cup in one hand and a glass cup in the other. He stood up and came to Liu Zhongyi's side to give him more wine. Liu Zhongyi was so frightened that he immediately jumped up from his seat and placed the sapphire cup under the silver cup.
, he woke up most of the time drunk and said: "The Prime Minister of Yuan is a shameful official! Today we have a grand banquet, and when we return to court tomorrow, I dare not not praise the Prime Minister of Yuan for his free and easy hospitality!"
Yuan Zai wanted to get what he said. After adding wine, he was immediately satisfied and sat back down.
But he saw Liu Zhongyi coming up, pushing aside the maid, holding the silver cup just now, and filling it for him. Then he picked up his own green jade cup and whispered back: "I see that Yuan Xiang seems to be in a state of sadness today.
Between the eyebrows, that’s why I feel so drunk. I wonder what happened to disturb Yuan Xiang’s drunkenness?”
Yuan Zai held his forehead with one hand and held the cup with the other. After touching the rim of the glass with him, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "It's all a saint's family matter, so don't mention it, don't mention it! My father-in-law must drink to his heart's content today."
However, Liu Zhongyi heard something strange and knew that there must be a hidden secret. He hurriedly lowered his voice: "Yuan Xiang, I'm telling you nothing! Since I came to Luoyang to announce the decree, I will tell the saint what I saw and heard. I dare not say anything.
Negligence. If Yuan Xiang really knows some rumors about the gods, I hope he can shed some light on it! Otherwise, the reply will be unknown and he will be punished by the saint."
Yuan Zai hesitated again and again, and said in a deep voice: "This matter sounds like a joke to talk about, but it makes people shudder to think about it carefully. If Eunuch Liu wants to report this to the saint, I hope he will think twice about it!"
Liu Zhongyi's heart sank when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Xiaoguan has always been cautious, so Yuan Xiang can rest assured about this."
Only then did Yuan Zai drink up the wine he had been holding for a while, twisting his beard and musing: "I asked for leave from the saint and made a special trip to Luoyang. I came here for the marriage between the young son Ji Neng and the legitimate daughter of Cui Mansion. Who would have expected that
By chance, I saw the birth of the peerless magic weapon 'Rushui Sword', which really shocked the world and made ghosts and gods weep!"
Liu Zhongyi stamped his feet and said angrily: "Is there such a thing? It's a pity that the official was really tired at that time, so he fell asleep with his head covered in the guest room and missed such a spectacle... What a pity, what a pity! I hope the Prime Minister can tell me how it happened.
?”
Yuan Zai drank by himself, smacked his lips and said: "Today, I just woke up from my nap, so I took a group of servants from my mansion and went to Nanshi to see the spices. Unexpectedly, a cool breeze blew up halfway, and the clouds changed color, and suddenly it was...
It was a sign of rain. I was about to return to my horse when I saw a stream of silver streaking down from the north. It seemed to go straight into the Luoshui River. It was as thick as a water jar! Then the sound of thunder surpassed thousands of troops and horses.
I am almost shocked. To put it bluntly, it is even worse than the two thieves in Anshi who captured several cities in a row!"
Liu Zhongyi's curiosity was aroused and he immediately asked: "What happened next? Yuan Xiang must have rushed to Luoshui in the rain, right?"
Yuan Zai stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Eunuch Liu really understands people's hearts! I have never seen such a vision for many years, so I ordered my car to drive to the place where the thunder fell, hoping to see what happened. Who knew what happened?
The place where the thunder struck was not Luoshui, but the section of the Tongyuan Canal in Yucaifang. When I arrived at the Tongyuan Canal, what I saw was blood-stained grass, corpses everywhere, and hundreds of people and horses.
, the attack and killing on the bank of the canal had already been completed.
After asking for a while, I found out that the 'Rushui Sword Stele' was born! Moreover, the ancient stele had been chopped into pieces, and a sword box was broken out. Everyone was fighting for the sword in the box. But all parties fought for it.
They fought, but no result has been achieved yet. I originally wanted to calm down the matter, and took away the 'Water Sword' before offering it to the Holy Saint, so as not to cause more casualties on all sides. Unexpectedly, someone intervened, forcing me not to do anything.
Pull away and go back...Oh!"
At this moment, Liu Zhongyi was only concerned about what happened to the "Rushui Sword", but when he heard Yuan Zai sigh, he couldn't help but ask: "Who is that person? Even the Yuan Prime Minister has to be polite?"
Yuan Zai said helplessly: "More than being polite, when we see him, we should treat him with respect! That person is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As soon as he intervened, I didn't dare to say anything, so I had to return in anger."
Liu Zhongyi was a little unwilling, swallowed his saliva and said: "Yuan Xiang, that 'Rushui Sword' has now... been taken away by His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Yuan Zai smiled slightly and said: "If the prince takes it, that's fine. This world will also be his in the future, not to mention it is just a piece of ordinary iron. But His Highness the prince was instigated by the villain and actually wanted to use the sword as a lottery and give it to the god
The leader of the Capital Martial Arts Conference! Now Luocheng Camp, Weibo Town, Daomen, Shimen, Jianghu Rangers, anyone with ulterior motives are all ready to take action, they must get the sword and then be quick!
I am afraid that starting tomorrow, there will be widespread rumors in Luoyang City that His Highness the Crown Prince used the sword as a bait to win over people's hearts, or that there will be rumors that His Highness the Crown Prince 'used the sword as a nickname and plotted to usurp the throne'! By then, three people will become tigers, and everyone's talk will be a source of gold.
, His Highness the Crown Prince tried to clear away the suspicion, but it was too late! If even the saints were deceived by rumors, and father and son became suspicious, our Shengchao Sheji... would be in danger!!"
After listening to these words, Liu Zhongyi felt that it was reasonable, but he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave:
Everyone in the court knew that Yuan Xiang had always admired His Highness the Crown Prince and had many words of praise. Even when the saint was occasionally unhappy with His Highness the Crown Prince, he dared to take the lead in speaking out and speaking out about His Highness the Crown Prince's knowledge and virtues. That's why Fangcai Yiyi
There is absolutely no secret in his words, and everything is planned for the prince's benefit.
Liu Zhongyi's mind was filled with turmoil, and he immediately thought: "For the current plan... I wonder what the Prime Minister wants to do to prevent problems before they happen?"
At this time, Yuan Zai had lost his drunkenness, put a palm on Liu Zhongyi's shoulder, and said with a serious face: "The merits of this matter can only be believed if it comes from Eunuch Liu's mouth and reaches heaven to hear it!"
The official thinks that Eunuch Liu needs to work harder! Tomorrow morning, he will be escorted by my Yuanfu guards, and he will rush back to Chang'an to tell the saint about this matter! In order to avoid being taken advantage of by someone with the intention to spoil His Highness the Crown Prince.
position, ruined my prosperous dynasty!"
Liu Zhongyi was sober from drinking at this time, how could he still have the heart to enjoy himself?
He immediately withdrew from the banquet on the grounds that he was "too drunk" and went back to the guest room to rest early.
