I asked you whether the return date has been announced.
The night rain in Bashan makes the autumn pond swell!
Why should we cut the western window candle together?
But it’s raining at night in Bashan!
When is my return date?
I asked you over and over but couldn’t answer you,
The distance is a dream,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
I only know that there is no place far away,
Rain in Bashan!
Hold your face up by candlelight,
The faint smile has become a thousand-year-old monument!
Sadness is like a pot of wine,
Confusion is a game of chess,
I don't know if I should do it tonight,
Cry for me!
The plank road built over many years continues in my heart,
For many years, I have thought of my home as an eternal beauty!
The west window that cannot be pushed open,
The dissatisfied Qiuchi!
What keeps cutting is all your tenderness,
When is my return date!
I asked you over and over but couldn’t answer you,
The distance is a dream,
Tomorrow is a mystery!
I only know that there is no place far away,
Rain in Bashan!
The plank road built over many years continues in my heart,
For many years, I have thought of my home as an eternal beauty!
The west window that cannot be pushed open,
The dissatisfied Qiuchi!
What keeps cutting is all your tenderness,
The plank road built over many years continues in my heart,
For many years I have thought of my home as an eternal beauty!
The west window that cannot be pushed open,
The dissatisfied autumn pond,
The constant cutting is all due to your tenderness!

The lingering sound was lingering and melodious, but it was particularly desolate and melodious after the rain. The lyrics are similar to words but not words, and the rhythm is ups and downs, which makes people feel novel and unique when listening to it.
Thousands of pavilions, thousands of twists and turns.
A graceful woman in palace attire with a rare upturned bun was gently holding the fragrant wood on the palace railing, leaning over to look at the source of the sound. A pair of charming phoenix eyes were looking at the young man in scarlet clothes singing at the top of his lungs.
This young man in scarlet clothes has not yet reached his crown, with red lips and pink face and a high-spirited look. He is surrounded by a bunch of servants and palace ladies who are complimenting him. Thousands of flowers are blooming in front of them, and the palace music is playing in unison. Madam Huarui, with a smiling face and a pair of charming big eyes, is looking at the boy in scarlet clothes, lying on a fragrant sandalwood Arhat couch. Above, graceful and lazy is not attractive.
Obviously, this song was sung by this young man and was praised by everyone.
"Empress Zhaorong!" Gong'e on the side seemed to see the doubts of this beauty, and said wittily: "This is the young man who has been walking in the palace recently and is favored by His Majesty and Concubine Hui. He is Lord Wang. Jiulang’s name is Wang Shen!”
This beautiful beauty is the Zhaorong Li Yanniang of Shu Emperor Meng Chang. She is truly as favored as Mrs. Huarui in the Shu Palace. It's just that Mrs. Huarui is usually good at composing lyrics and music, and they are all good works, so she is praised by ministers and emperors. Meng Chang and Mrs. Huarui usually spend more time together. But Li Yanniang is very well-dressed and well-dressed. She has always been the trend setter for women in Sichuan, and she is also deeply favored by the emperor.
At this time, Meng Chang, who rarely came to court in person, was still in the front court and had not returned to the palace. He must have accumulated a lot of things. Because Li Yanniang hadn't seen Meng Chang for a long time, she missed the emperor's favor, so she took her palace maid Li'er with her and wanted to wait in this seemingly unintentional pavilion in the hope of meeting Meng Chang and his entourage. There are many people in the palace, but many people dare not invite favors like Li Yanniang.
Unexpectedly, under the pavilion here, I met Wang Jiulang and Wang Shen standing among the flowers, singing loudly in front of Mrs. Huarui. Seeing that the palace music was all in place and everyone was enjoying themselves with the music, it was obvious that they had come prepared and deliberately enjoyed themselves here. I'm afraid that Mrs. Huarui also has this idea, and is afraid that others will steal the emperor's favor and affection halfway.
"The Wang family is too bold! How could a young man be allowed to be so presumptuous in the royal palace?" Li Yanniang was a little surprised and puzzled. Looking at Mrs. Huarui's smiling face, she felt an indelible jealousy in her heart. . Although she was favored by Meng Chang, she was born as a dancing queen after all, and it was difficult for her to obtain a status like a flower. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: "Has she been so pampered by His Majesty? In addition to the emperor, other people are allowed to come in this palace?"
"Don't worry, Madam! Your Majesty must not be aware of what's going on here!" Gong'e Li'er cleverly understood, while excusing the emperor, she was undoubtedly belittling Hua Rui. She continued eloquently: "It is said that Wang Jiulang plays polo very well. He was praised by His Majesty a few days ago. Now everyone in the palace is talking about it! It is said that he also had a hand in the fireworks that His Majesty got last time." The emperor is watching! Look, I don’t know what the song is about, but seeing the happy look on Empress Hui Fei’s face, she must have made this vulgar phrase!"
"This word is definitely not written by a woman! It's just slang!" Although Li Yanniang is not good at composing lyrics, she has a background in dance skills, and is inevitably exposed to music, lyrics, and music. However, she still has some eyesight. Otherwise, ordinary people who have only looks will not be attracted by Meng Chang. This conceited talent has taken a fancy to him!
She looked at Mrs. Huarui quietly, as if she was waiting for someone to reward Wang Jiulang, but that Jiulang actually came forward and sat on the short table next to Huarui. She didn't know what the two people were talking about, but Huarui sat down. Get up and smile like a flower.
Li Yanniang couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, as long as he favors Master Wang, he will naturally care for the descendants of the Wang family. However, Master Wang is obviously not an unreasonable person to receive today's favor. Looking at Wang Jiulang's proud face, he must be I kept it from Mr. Wang, I just wanted to be proud and let loose in the palace!" She calmed down, looked at the situation below, and suddenly remembered something.
"The Queen Mother reminded Li'er. Seeing that they are so happy, and they are here close to the palace garden of the front court, the Queen Mother must not know!" Li'er suddenly thought about it and said happily. When she looked at Li Yanniang, she saw Li Yanniang. There was also joy on his face.
By coincidence, the two people thought of each other.
"His Majesty!"
Meng Renzhi looked at Emperor Meng Chang with an embarrassed look. He thought that because he had obtained some reliable information, he could tell the emperor during the morning court. Who knew that the emperor never knew about these things? Meng Renzhi looked at several ministers who had nothing to do with him. Behind him was Li Fengxiao, the governor of Yuzhou, who was lying on the ground. He was usually proud of being a member of his party. Then he knew that he was too conceited. The report just now had undoubtedly caused damage to everyone's interests. Maybe because of Li Fengxiao's words, he was going to antagonize these old officials in Shu.
The atmosphere in the side hall was depressing. Several ministers lowered their heads and seemed not to hear what Meng Renzhi said. Just like Emperor Meng Chang's temper, they pretended to be deaf and dumb and stood in front of Meng Chang, all of them serious. Standing solemnly, looking at the nose and heart with eyes and nose, it seems that he is practicing cultivation, as if he has never understood these things.
Meng Chang's face was ashen. He was not stupid, and was extremely smart. He naturally knew that Shuzhong had always been peaceful under his rule. However, the gap between the common people and the officials in the world has been irreconcilable since ancient times. The common people must have common people's consciousness. He never thought that his ministers didn't know all this, on the contrary, they should know it best. It's just that everyone has his own interests. In front of him, as long as such interests do not harm the existence of Shu Kingdom, he has to turn a blind eye.
"Li Xiang, what do you think of what King Ya just said!" Meng Chang stared at the old Li Hao word by word. This veteran minister who had served in Shu for nearly fifty years was still his right-hand man. Most of the financial and political affairs in Shu still depend on him. Although Meng Chang dotes on Wang Zhaoyuan, Wang Zhaoyuan has always treated Li Hao with half-master courtesy. He boasts that his military skills are better than Kong Ming's, but his finances and politics are still far behind Li Hao. Hao's.
Li Hao, who had been pretending to be deaf and mute, seemed to be about to fall asleep when he heard Meng Chang's voice. He wanted to kick Li Fengxiao, who was lying on the ground and brought in by Ya Wang Meng Renzhi. He is in charge of Shuzhong's economy, so he naturally knows that the amount of taxes collected by various places in Shuzhong this year is much lower than last year. In order to narrow this gap, Li Hao ordered several wealthy nearby state capitals to increase taxes. Because there are still many self-governing territories of barbarians in Shu, basically they cannot receive much.
In charge of the political affairs in central Shu, he will naturally receive information from all over the country every day. Basically, there is nothing good. He naturally knows that there is a fight for equality in all parts of Shu, but he also thinks that it has not yet reached what officials from various places said. To that extent.
But the reason why everyone reported so much was simply because they were afraid of taking responsibility and wanted to express their hard work. Li Hao, a veteran politician for decades, would naturally treat these people's words as a response. Although he would report some to the palace, he would always filter them to Meng Chang. It's not that the emperor reports good news but not bad news, but the emperor enjoys himself all day long. How can he have so much time to care about these things.
Li Fengxiao, a bastard, actually came to tell the emperor that Yuzhou had been lost and occupied by the rebellious Uniform Cult. This is not a joke! Not to mention that Yuzhou is located in an important position in the middle of Shu. Even though it is a large state capital, it is impossible for so many soldiers to be taken over by the unarmed troublemaking believers. This bastard actually dared to come to King Ya and say in front of the emperor that he didn't want to go back.
Logically speaking, Li Fengxiao is still a descendant of the Li Hao family, but he is no longer a close relative of the same family. When Li Fengxiao entered the officialdom of central Sichuan that day, he had gone through the same family path as Li Hao. Even many prostitutes and concubines in Li Hao's family were sent by Li Fengxiao. Li Hao still had an impression of Li Fengxiao, but Li Hao didn't know that he was so naive when he became the governor of a state. Li Hao decided to completely sever ties with him.
Li Hao is not a ruthless person. On the contrary, he has always had a good reputation in the officialdom of Sichuan. Even someone as favored as Wang Zhaoyuan has to be respectful to him, which shows that Li Hao does have a very special ability, that is, taking into account the feelings of up and down. However, now that Li Hao has decided to give up on Li Fengxiao, that is why Li Fengxiao is confused now. Later, Li Fengxiao gained a foothold in the court and gradually became a close associate of King Ya Meng Renzhi. Li Hao gradually forgot about this family. Li Hao felt that King Ya was just a second-generation ancestor who didn't know how to deal with things, which was a pity for Li Fengxiao.
"Your Majesty is aware that the old minister does not agree with what Mr. Li said about Yuzhou!" Li Hao looked up at Meng Chang, with no expression on his face and a pair of cloudy eyes. There was nothing strange about him after decades of officialdom. In the officialdom, there are several people in Shu who are Li Hao's opponents. "I have been suffering from itching and recuperating at home for a few days recently. Although I am lazy, if the officials of various ministries have something to do, they will still communicate with me and deal with it in a timely manner. But I have not received any news about anything inappropriate in Yuzhou!"
There was a hint of coldness in Li Hao's eyes, and he glanced at Li Fengxiao underground intentionally or unintentionally: "Master Li's family members are all in the capital, and even in Yuzhou, there are only a few concubines serving him. It must not matter to Master Li. Last month, I heard that Suizhou was also experiencing a turmoil. Later, state and county officials in several places in Suizhou became cowardly and ran around, causing the people to be frightened and the court to be humiliated. Your Majesty has already dealt with a group of them under the guidance of the veteran!" He looked at the surprised people. Emperor: "Master Li is in the capital this time, but he doesn't want to return to his own territory to govern. He doesn't know the current situation in Yuzhou, but he is talking nonsense here to disturb the view. Your Majesty! I am deeply worried!"
"Oh!" Meng Chang looked surprised. After listening to Li Hao's analysis, he thought it was indeed the case. He couldn't help but look at King Ya, his eyes full of doubts, and even looked at Li Fengxiao underground, his face turned livid.
The other officials in the side hall heard Li Hao's grand answer. Although everyone knew what was going on, they really didn't know how to answer the emperor. But from Li Hao's answer and handling, it was already known that the old prime minister wanted to hide the emperor. Involuntarily, everyone slowly raised their heads and looked at Meng Chang and King Ya.
Li Fengxiao, who was underground, was almost desperate after hearing Li Hao's words, but he didn't dare to tell the difference. His body couldn't help but tremble. Who is Li Hao! That was the most powerful figure in Shu besides the emperor, not to mention that everything he said was indeed true, and what was most terrifying was the truth. During the emperor's decades in power, except for the first ten years or so, it can be said that he personally handled all matters. In fact, all matters, big and small, were handled by a few people headed by Li Hao. Where did he have any chance? He seemed to have seen himself A miserable future.
How to describe Li Hao! It's like Meng Chang is the emperor, out of reach. And Li Hao is the earth emperor in Shu, and he is always around!
Originally, because Li Fengxiao was not in Yuzhou, and Yuzhou suddenly fell, he, as the governor of Yuzhou, had to take responsibility. In addition, he has many businesses in Yuzhou. That kind of income allows him to live like a fish in water in Chengdu, and his family will not be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes. Now all of them have been expropriated by the Uniform Cult. It is said that even the garrison has taken over most of them. Li Fengxiao is somewhat unable to accept this fact.
The land of a state is not a trivial matter. Li Fengxiao naturally wanted to report it, but he was suppressed by Zhongshu. This is not a decision made by one person, which shows that the people in Zhongshu have reached a consensus. Li Fengxiao was a little unwilling to give up, so he sent King Ya to come forward, thinking that as long as King Ya spoke to the emperor, not only would he be able to get away with it, but the imperial court might also send troops to Yuzhou, and then he could recover the income. However, he knew that he was wrong. He actually forgot the most important person, and that was Li Hao.
If Li Hao disagrees, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the emperor to know the true appearance of Yuzhou.
"Master Wang! You are in charge of the Privy Council. Has there been any military affairs in Yuzhou in recent months?" Li Hao looked at Wang Zhaoyuan quietly, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and he was methodical and clear. Although he seemed to be asking Wang Zhaoyuan, everyone knew that, He wanted Wang Zhaoyuan, who knew the Privy Council, to prove it.
Wang Zhaoyuan saluted Meng Chang, looking like he was serving the country and the people. He then said to Li Hao: "Since the beginning of spring in Yuzhou until now, there have been three Privy Council meetings!" Naturally, he knew Li Hao's intentions better. Usually he understood the emperor's thoughts better than Li Hao. It didn't matter whether he was whitewashing the peace or not, the emperor I don't want to hear anything unpleasant.
Of course Wang Zhaoyuan also knew what he should do, and he cared most about his prestige in the court. Not to mention what the truth is like in Yuzhou now, no one went there, and no report was received from there. Nowadays, there is a lot of commotion outside Jinguan City with the average cultivator, but they don't see any problems. They must be just unruly people making trouble. Although he didn't want Li Hao to make assertions in front of the court and the emperor alone, he also knew the current direction of the situation, and he was obviously on the same page as Li Hao.
Sure enough, Li Hao looked normal and seemed to be listening attentively. Wang Zhaoyuan couldn't help but said seriously: "On February 16th, the original Fengdu County had no imperial garrison for a long time. Yuzhou defense envoy Zhao Lang led two thousand infantry and one thousand naval troops to enter Fengdu. Outside the city of Fengdu, One battleship was damaged, dozens of wooden boats were damaged, and more than 300 infantry were missing, and they returned without success."
Wang Zhaoyuan prided himself on being bright and talented throughout his life, and he had a very good memory. His speech was clear and well-founded, which Meng Chang admired very much. Meng Chang felt much better when he saw Wang Zhaoyuan being respectful, but when he heard the content, he couldn't help but be surprised at first, and then angry.
"We lost so many soldiers, and I didn't know about it! Also, the city of Fengdu was a forbidden area in the hands of the late emperor. I have always followed the wishes of the late emperor and never interfered with the appointment and dismissal of Fengdu City! This Zhao Lang is really bold, Who asked him to send troops to Fengdu City, Li Fengxiao, you are the governor of Yuzhou, you should know it!" Meng Chang had an angry look on his face, no one knew what he was thinking, regardless of Wang Zhaoyuan, who knew the affairs of the Privy Council, But he was angry with Li Fengxiao.
"Your Majesty is aware that because last year there were rumors in Shu that there were religious bandits gathering in various places to confuse the people, the Ministry of War ordered local military levies. General Zhao Lang received an order from the Ministry of War that day, saying that there were members of the Wenjing Cult in Yuzhou who were causing chaos among the people. , called on the Fuling garrison to send troops to suppress the chaos!" Wang Zhaoyuan then said: "As for why General Zhao Lang chose Fengdu, it must be a temporary military decision, I don't know! However, on February 27, Zhao Lang led his troops successively Three groups of bandits and a large number of religious believers who misled the people were eliminated in Yuzhou, and a total of 843 bandits were wiped out! This is the second report from Yuzhou that the Privy Council received! ""
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Wang Zhaoyuan knew that the emperor understood the whole story, so he saluted respectfully and said: "Because it was the Ministry of War's order that local governments send out troops to suppress bandits on their own. His Majesty issued an order that day. If it is not a border war, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council can make their own decisions. There is a small local military, so His Majesty did not receive these little news!" Wang Zhaoyuan took a deep breath, and then said: "At that time, the Ministry of War had already punished Zhao Lang for his mistakes. Later, he made contributions in suppressing bandits. Presumably, the Ministry of War will do something to Zhao Lang. Correct verdict! As for the third report, it was an urgent report from Yuzhou in early April. It said that Zhou Qi, the commander of the Ma Bu Army, was assassinated in the street. It was later confirmed that it was the crime of habitual gangsters in Longtan Temple. Yuzhou Defense Let Zhao Lang report to send troops to suppress the bandits!" After Wang Zhaoyuan finished speaking, he stood up and waited for Emperor Meng Chang to speak.
The atmosphere in the side hall was depressing, Meng Chang was deep in thought, Li Hao remained calm, King Ya looked ugly, and Wang Zhaoyuan looked calm.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Zhong, the personal eunuch, came over. Meng Chang looked up and looked into his eyes, knowing that something was wrong, so he nodded to indicate. Zhao Zhong came over to explain in detail. Meng Chang's expression slowly changed as he heard this, which made several ministers here feel confused and wondered what was going on.
No one dared to speculate, but the feeling of waiting was even more torturous. The emperor finally had time to listen to everyone, and there were still many things that had not been reported, and it was about to go to waste again. Although they were looking forward to it, looking at the emperor's expression, everyone was afraid that they would cause trouble themselves. Especially Meng Chang looked at Wang Zhaoyuan, and Wang Zhaoyuan felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Li Fengxiao, the governor of Yuzhou, is timid and cowardly and has undermined the dignity of the imperial court. He is really not suitable to serve as governor of a state anymore. I will be removed from the post of governor."" Meng Chang stared hard at Li Fengxiao on the ground, and looked at King Ya with a somewhat confused look. He was so strict that King Ya felt suddenly and even lowered his head.
"The officials have re-selected the governor of Yuzhou. I will go to Yuzhou today after considering it. How can the state capital be without an owner for a day!" Looking at Li Hao and other veterans, his eyes flashed with an imperceptible light and said: "As for the Li Fengxiao does not want to return to Yuzhou, so Li Fengxiao will take up the post of gatekeeper of Yuzhou City from now on, and will immediately take his family to serve in Yuzhou. He will never return to the capital without being summoned by the court!" Meng Chang said hurriedly, with an angry look on his face. He glanced at everyone and walked away without waiting for anyone to say anything.
Everyone looked at each other, obviously there was still a lot to say. Seeing Li Fengxiao shaking into a ball on the ground, some people were a little gloating about his misfortune. King Ya had a gloomy look on his face and walked out first without greeting anyone. He had lost face and everyone didn't take it seriously.
Wang Zhaoyuan looked relaxed and received the approval from Li Hao's eyes. He was about to leave with Li Hao when the two of them just arrived at the entrance of the side hall. An eunuch hurried over and called him into the palace. Li Hao looked at Wang Zhaoyuan's back, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.
