In eleventh lunar month2 nd, King Wu birthday.
冬月初二,吴王。King WuinSeven Vassal Kingsoldest, for many years the Jiangnangovernanceis more systematic, is quite highin the Imperial Courtprestige, each regionVassal KingandChang'an Citysent the envoycomingbirthday greetings, sent the family/homeneutronnephewto cometonearKing YuandKing Weipersonally.吴王在七位藩王之中年纪最长,多年来把江南治理的越算井井有条,在朝中威望颇高,各地藩王和长安城都派了使臣过来贺寿,离得近的豫王、魏王还派了家中子侄亲自过来。Because nearly severalmonths of noisyflood, the cityinside and outsidehave the refugees of manydoing not have enough to eat, tocomfort the popular sentiment, the birthday feasthas not madewhole cityto be decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, butdid obeisance the banquetinWuKing's mansion of westlakeside.
因为近几个月闹水患,城内外有很多食不果腹的流民,为了安抚民心,寿宴并未弄得满城张灯结彩,只是在西湖畔的吴王府拜下了宴席。
The timejustarrived atafternoon, on the broadlong street outside Mt. Yuhuangwas full of the car(riage)carriagesmall sedan chair, walksto enterin front of the dismounttablet.
时间刚到下午,玉皇山外的宽阔长街上停满了车辇小轿,在下马碑前步行进入。Mt. Yuhuangis situated between Xihu and Qiantang River, to look into the distancesuch as the big dragonreclines, when is blustery, obviouslyHushanopen, the river skyis vast. Sceneryshowcertainly, farexceedsman-madesea of flowers in Suzhoudesert.
玉皇山地处西湖与钱塘江之间,远望如巨龙横卧,风起云涌时,可见湖山空阔,江天浩瀚。风景之绝秀,远超肃州沙漠中的人造花海。Xu Bulinggot down the carriage, findsthislordlyKing's mansion, sighedat heartwasVassal Kingthisdisparityalsotoo big.许不令下了马车,瞧见这座气派的王府,心里不禁感叹都是藩王这差距也太大了些。
The formaloccasion, Madam Luis only the Xiao Familydaughter-in-law, cannotrepresentativeJinlingLu Clan, thereforewalkswithXiao Tinginbehind.
正式场合,陆夫人只是萧家的儿媳妇,不能代表金陵陆氏,因此和萧庭走在后面。Xu BulingfollowsXiao Qito come, has not exhibited the Vassal KingHeir Apparentinsignia. Howeverhisrecentreputationtoo big, manygovernment officialtyrannical gentriesfoundsideXiao Qidelicate and prettyYoung Master, thenknows that whocame, stops the footstepsby the pathhastily, lifts the handto salute:许不令跟着萧绮过来,没有摆开藩王世子的仪仗。不过他最近的名声太大了,诸多官吏豪绅瞧见萧绮身边的俊美公子,便知道谁来了,连忙在道路旁停下脚步,抬手行礼:„SeeKing SuHeir Apparent, Eldest Young Lady Xiao!”
“参见肃王世子,萧大小姐,久违了!”Today the Jiangnanpowerful familylarge clanbasicallycomes, evenXue Chengzhisent the sonto raise the congratulatory gift, but the Jianghuperson'spositionin front ofaristocracywas too low, wherewalkedcould not findin the horncorner.
今日江南的门阀大族基本上都来了,连薛承志都派了儿子过来提着贺礼,不过江湖人在王侯面前地位太低,走在犄角旮旯都找不到在哪儿。Head of household who Xu Bulingdoes not knowthesepowerful familylarge clans, butthesepeoplehalffamily historyratiosstartXu Family of sixty-year cycleyearsto be glorious, possiblyhas readin the bookshasmuchistheseperson of ancestorswrites, the stancecannotbe too arrogant, butsignals by noddingwith a smile.许不令不认识这些个门阀大族的家主,不过这些人大半家族史都比兴起才甲子年月的许家悠久,可能读过的书本里面有不少就是这些人祖宗写的,姿态也不能太倨傲,只是含笑点头示意。Xiao Qitakes a walkinJiangnanyear to year, ripequitewindsandmanyaristocratic familyrepresentativeschitchatted, the stance was very highbeing insufficientto make the opposite partyrepugnant, the bearingwas impeccable.萧绮常年在江南走动,颇为熟络的和诸多世家的代表攀谈,姿态很高却又不至于让对方反感,气度无可挑剔。Outside the red lacquerfront door, King Wusecond sonSongYuloureceived the guest, foundXu Bulingto arrive, went forwardto lift a handritualhastily:
朱漆大门外,吴王的次子宋雨楼接待宾客,瞧见许不令到了,连忙上前抬手一礼:„Brother Xu, Eldest Young Lady Xiao, twogive the Royal Father the birthday greetings, has not gone out of townto welcomepersonally, reallytreated unjustlytwo. Pleaseenterquickly......”
“许兄,萧大小姐,二位来给父王贺寿,未曾亲自出城相迎,实在亏待了二位。快请进……”SongYulouwas young, roughly17-18, but the expressionwas genial, was joined to the scholarlyappearance, has shownseveralpoints of steadiness.
宋雨楼年纪不大,约莫17-18,不过言词和煦,配上儒雅长相,已经透出了几分稳重。Xu Bulinghas not seenSongYulou, butlistened toXiao Qito sayKing Wuseveralheir——wife's eldest sonsyoungthenintelligentexcellent, was deep the King Wuaffection, onlypitifullygoing on patrolJiangnantimesank the ship, smallHeir Apparentalsothereforeearlyyoung. King Wuclosely relatedsecond son, ispresentKing WuHeir Apparent, but alsostudiesinChang'an City, withXu Bulingis the schoolmate, each otherknew,all dayidles aboutcarelessly, notalent.许不令没见过宋雨楼,但听萧绮说过吴王的几个子嗣——嫡长子年幼便聪慧过人,深得吴王喜爱,只可惜一次巡游江南的时候沉了船,小世子也因此早夭。吴王嫡次子,也就是现在的吴王世子,还在长安城读书,和许不令是同学,彼此认识,整天吊儿郎当游手好闲,没什么才华。Howeveris innear the Emperor, evenXu Bulingmusthide one's incompetence by remaining silentinstalls the pig, otherVassal KingHeir Apparentnaturallyalsosimilar, did not determine that King WuHeir Apparentis hiding one's incompetence by remaining silent.
不过身在天子脚下,连许不令都得藏拙装猪,其他藩王世子自然也差不多,也不确定吴王世子是不是在藏拙。
The Song YubuildingisKing Wuclosely relatedthree, although the reputationdoes not reveal, but the good and evil is also the secondpositionsuccessor of throne, the positionis aloof, is on intimate termsnoissuewithXu Buling.宋玉楼是吴王的嫡三子,虽然名声不显,但好歹也是王位的第二顺位继承人,地位超然,和许不令称兄道弟没什么问题。
The Xu Bulingexpressionis very amiable, politegreeting, thenbroughtXiao Qito enterinMt. Yuhuanglarge-scaleKing's mansion.许不令表情很随和,客气的打了个招呼,便带着萧绮进入了玉皇山规模庞大的王府内。InKing's mansion the roomfull of guests, in the brightstagepavilionpavilionallwaseach regionprestigious familyprominent family, Xu Bulingevensawseveral in Taiji Hallhas seen the official employed in the capital. Statusdisparitytoo big, the opposite partyis not quite goodto greet, butnodsdistantlysalutes.王府之中高朋满座,朗台亭榭内皆是各地名门望族,许不令甚至看到了几个在太极殿中见过的京官。身份差距太大,对方不太好过来打招呼,只是遥遥颔首行了个礼。
The birthday feasthas not formally started, Xiao TingentersKing's mansion, ranandunderstandingaristocrat and noble childrenchats, Xu BulingandXiao Qiwent to a living room near main hallto drink tea the waiting, exceptmaidservant who serving teato pour water, did not have the bystanderto disturbactually.
寿宴尚未正式开始,萧庭一进王府,就跑去和认识的王公贵子拉家常去了,许不令和萧绮来到了正殿附近的一间客厅内喝茶等待,除开端茶倒水的丫鬟,倒是没有外人打扰。Xiao Qisecuresits in meditationon the chair, brow tipslightlypressed, obviouslyis thinking the matter.萧绮安静坐在椅子上,眉梢微蹙,显然在想着事情。Madam Luis sizing upcrowded of out of the window, seems likelooked forhad seenin childhood the acquaintance.陆夫人则打量着窗外的人来人往,似乎是在寻找小时候见过的熟人。Xu Bulingsitsintwopeople, pondered overslightly , the leaningheadlookstoXiao Qi: „Just now does thatSong Yubuilding, receiveKing Wuto attach great importance tovery much?”许不令坐在二人之间,稍微琢磨了下,偏头看向萧绮:“方才那个宋玉楼,是不是很受吴王重视?”
The Xiao Qithoughtsare intelligent, is actually also thinkingthismatter. Sheguessed that King Wuwill not revolt, firstin the handis hardto accomplishwithout the soldier, secondly is King WuHeir Apparentalsoincapital, so-called‚hostage prince’ is usedto restrictVassal King, King Wuis always impossible the biologicalsonsnot to attend.萧绮心思聪慧,其实也在想这件事情。她猜测吴王不会造反,一来是手中无兵难以成事,二来便是吴王世子还在京城,所谓‘质子’就是用来制约藩王的,吴王总不可能连亲儿子都不顾。
After mayjust nowseeSongYulou, Xiao Qithought that, compared with the power and influence, a soncannot be regardedanything, withKing Suis differentonly then an only child, the capitalsondid not havealsoto havethreeclosely related, so long assuppressedunder the heart, treated asinChang'anhostage princedoes not existthen.
可方才见到宋雨楼后,萧绮觉得和权势比起来,一个儿子算不得什么,又不是和肃王一样只有一根独苗,京城的儿子没了还有嫡三子,只要狠得下心,在长安的质子当做不存在即可。Howevereven, King Wudoes not haveto be possible the soldier of warto be the mechanical damage, wants the potentialto hittowardChang'anfromJiangnan, mustput downpushesKing Wei, King Yu, King Chu and Guanzhongcavalry, evenKing Sudoes not havethisskill, King Wu unable toward the overseasto hit, lords it overinJapan.
不过即便如此,吴王手下无可战之兵是硬伤,想要从江南起势往长安打,得平推魏王、豫王、楚王、关中铁骑,连肃王都没这个本事,吴王总不能往海外打,在东瀛称王称霸。Readandhere, Xiao Qishakes the head, saidin a soft voice: „King Wuattaches great importance toseveralchildrenvery much, onlythis pointis very difficultto seeanything, do not guessabsurdly, firsthas a look atKing Wu to look for anything.”
念及此处,萧绮摇了摇头,轻声道:“吴王对几个子女都很重视,单凭这一点很难看出什么,你不要妄加揣测,先看看吴王到底要找什么东西。”Xu Bulingnodsgently, no longersaid.许不令轻轻点头,也不再多说。
The peacefulwaitingin the living room, inKing's mansionis getting more and more lively, the weatheralsogets darkgradually, tranquilXihu outside distantobviousmountain.
在客厅中安静等待,王府内越来越热闹,天色也渐渐黑了下来,遥遥可见山外的平静西湖。Xu Bulingin the idleornamentalXihubeautiful scene, the split visionis finding a male servantto flashto passfrom the corridor, turns the headto look that is actually missing.许不令正在无所事事的观赏西湖美景,余光瞧见一个家丁从廊道里一闪而逝,转头看去却不见了踪影。Xu Bulingfeltsomewhatlooks familiar, frownsto think, saidsound„Iwentto have a look.”Thenset outto leave the living room.许不令觉得有些眼熟,蹙眉思索了下,说了声“我出去看看。”便起身离开了客厅。Outside the King's mansionmain hallis bustling and filled with people, in the garden the tyrannical gentrygovernment official32assembleto be on intimate terms, the maidservantmale servantgoes throughis entertaining the guest.王府正殿外人头攒动,花园里豪绅官吏三两围聚称兄道弟,丫鬟家丁穿行其中招待着客人。
The Xu Bulinglow keyacross the corridor, went to the King's mansiongarden, standsin a viewing platform, makesto watch the Xihunight scene the appearance. Does not have the moment, the backthenremembered the sound of footsteps, the youngmale servant who is carrying the tea trayfrompasses throughbehind.许不令低调穿过廊道,来到了王府花园内,站在一间观景亭里,做出观赏西湖夜景的模样。不出片刻,背后便想起了脚步声,一个端着茶盘的小家丁从身后走过。
The Xu Bulingsplit visioncast aside a ——male servantcomplexionto be dark, the appearancewas very ordinary, butthisperson of hehad once metinGrandfatherFubaovillage, was called as‚Er'Hei’byFubao, shouldbe the Mei QushengJunior Brother.许不令余光撇了一眼——家丁面色黝黑,长相很普通,不过这人他曾在芙宝外公的村子里见过一面,被芙宝称做‘二黑’,应该是梅曲生的师弟。Xu Bulingslightlyis astonishedobviously, GrandfatherFubao the wrist/skill is never so expected that hard, evenKing's mansioncanmix.许不令略显讶异,没想到芙宝外公手腕这么硬,连王府都能混进来。Er'Heiis carrying the tea trayfromXu Bulingbehind the process, slowed down the footstepsslightly, saidin a soft voice:二黑端着茶盘从许不令身后经过,稍微放慢了脚步,轻声道:„Mastermakesmegiveyouto lead the words——monarchial powergodto give, wisdomchaoticCentral Plain. Canunderstand itselfto make a decision, cannot understandreturns toSuzhouhonestly.”
“师父让我给你带句话——君权神授,智乱中原。能听懂自己拿主意,听不懂老实回肃州。”
???
???Xu Bulingfrownsgently, carefulthinking‚monarchial powergodgives, after wisdomchaoticCentral Plain’eightcharacters, is somewhat bewildered, turns head:许不令轻轻蹙眉,仔细思索‘君权神授,智乱中原’八个字后,有些莫名其妙,回过头来:„Can't he, speak the logical expression?”
“他老人家,就不能讲人话?”Er'Heislightlycannotbe thoughtsnort/hum, carried the tea trayto walk.二黑微不可觉的哼了一声,端着茶盘就走了。Alsoveryproudtender.
还挺傲娇。Xu Bulingspreads out the handslightly, reallydoes not likethisguessingriddlenews. ‚Went against heaven's will the hard to bring aboutsay/waylikeformer that taking advantage of opportunityrealdragon’ was the same, saiddirectlyaccording to the Song Jiwayis walkingwas not good, did the godgodto talk on endlessly makes one guess.许不令微微摊开手,实在不怎么喜欢这种猜谜语般的消息。就像以前那句‘逆天难成道,顺势化真龙’一样,直接说按着宋暨的路数走不就就行了,干嘛神神叨叨云里雾里让人猜。
The monarchial powergodgives, wisdomchaoticCentral Plain......
君权神授,智乱中原……
The monarchial powerdefinitelywas the throne, the godgaveiswhatghost...... the wisdomchaoticCentral Plain......
君权肯定就是皇位了,神授又是什么鬼……智乱中原……Xu Bulingpondered over the momentcarefully, candetermine that only, wasGrandfatherFubaosaw the traces, knows that somepeoplethought the disasterCentral Plain, moreover likely wasKing Wu, butwithwhatmethod, howto revolvenot to refer.许不令仔细琢磨了片刻,唯一能确定的,就是芙宝外公看出了蛛丝马迹,知道有人想祸乱中原,而且很可能就是吴王,不过用什么方法,怎么运转并未指出来。Sees with own eyes the birthday feastto start, the guestsare walkingtoward the main hall, Xu Bulingalso can only at heart, return to the living roomfor the time beingquickly......
眼见寿宴开始,宾客都在往正殿走,许不令也只能暂且记在了心里,快步回到了客厅……
