Records of the King of Xin'an County

"How much do you want to know?"

After returning to the bullock cart, Li Xin leaned on the hidden bag and quietly looked at the young man sitting opposite him.From the first time he saw the other party, he found that all his previous assumptions were somewhat different, and he quickly made the most suitable adjustments.Originally, he thought that this younger brother might be as unsophisticated as Grandpa, maybe just an ignorant child, and might even be completely spoiled by his mother—but the boy in front of him seemed unexpectedly steady and reliable, enough to make him People rest assured.

"How much do you want me to know, brother?" Li Hui asked without answering, "I naturally hope that everything is under control, but maybe brother will feel that there are some things that I should not teach me for the time being." Standing straight, his expression was calm and calm, his eyes not only had the clarity unique to young people, but also vaguely contained a complex and deep look beyond his age.Complicated and deep is very common among the royal children, but such a clear feeling is almost rare.

"Since you've asked such a question, there's nothing I can't tell you." The corners of Li Xin's lips curled up slightly, "That's very good. We were struggling in Chang'an City, and it will probably remain the same in the future. But , but I am finally not fighting alone." Probably because of the relief deep in his heart, the indifference between the corners of his eyes and brows also disappeared a lot, and a little gentleness appeared vaguely.

"Brother, don't worry, I will never drag you down." Li Hui also smiled slightly, "I will only do what I should do."

In the evening of the second day, King Pu's chariot finally arrived at Chang'an City.Li Hui, who was riding on a steed, stood on the royal horse, looking up at the majestic city in front of him, which occupied the entire field of vision, and couldn't help feeling a little bit fascinated.The thick city wall, which is more than ten feet high, is almost integrated with the city tower with flying corners, carved railings and painted buildings, looking down on him like a giant, with natural power.However, even such a majestic city wall and tower cannot block the shadows of the temple towers hidden in it, so people can't help but want to find out more.

Cross the Mingde Gate in the south and step onto Zhuque Street, and you will be greeted by the hustle and bustle of 110 Square and Ershi.The crowd of people was like a market, which made the king of the small county from a rural fief a little unaccustomed to it.However, at this moment, he could no longer care about the subtle emotion in his heart that the farmer from the countryside went to the city——

The field of vision is full of rolling squares, walls, squares and gates that are like mountains. The festivals are so numerous that you can hardly see the edge. You can vaguely see the outline of the magnificent palace city all the way to the north; It's the convoys passing by, neighing horses, and pedestrians rubbing shoulders.The bells and drums to tell the time sounded suddenly, reverberating in the city for a long time, and people poured out from the two cities of East and West and all the squares, like a stream flowing into a river, returning home with laughter.

"Three hundred Lu in Linzi, with their sleeves turned into shade, sweat poured into rain, shoulder to shoulder..." Li Hui murmured, blinking.At this moment, he suddenly understood why his grandpa's thoughts were always on Chang'an.This is not only the majestic and majestic capital of the Tang Dynasty, but also a rich and prosperous town full of luxury.It is unparalleled in the world and far beyond imagination, shocking, convincing, and even more intoxicating.No matter who it is, after living here, I'm afraid they will never forget it, and they still think about it in their dreams.

As long as the little county king thought that the biggest city he had ever seen in his previous life was Junzhou, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.Sitting in a well and looking at the sky, although it is forced to do so, it is enough to show that I really have little knowledge.However, even though he had listened to the prince's devotion and exhausted the demeanor of various places on the way, he still felt that Chang'an was unique, and even Luoyang, the eastern capital, would certainly not be able to compare with it.

Suddenly, His Royal Highness Pu's car stopped.The two brothers Li Hui hurriedly rode their horses closer, and just as they were about to inquire, they saw their grandfather lift the curtain of the car with tears streaming down his face, the fat on his cheeks trembled like waves, and he sobbed sadly: "I finally returned to Chang'an..."

"..." The two brothers were speechless for a moment, not knowing how to comfort them.The guards around did not look sideways, pretending not to see anything, while the pedestrians walking around looked over curiously and pointed.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, His Royal Highness Pu Wang let out a mournful voice: "Hurry up! Go to the palace! I'm going to see grandpa and grandma!"

"..." Yan Shi ordered the car to drive a few steps forward, sat in the car and sighed, but still comforted him in a soft voice: "Ah Lang, it's getting late, when we arrive at Yankang Square, we can't talk about it." The door is about to close, let alone the palace gate? Besides, it is not in the etiquette to go to see A Weng and A Weng's family like this, why don't we go back to the mansion for now and take care of it, how about we see you tomorrow?"

"No! Go to Taiji Palace immediately! We have already returned to Chang'an, why wait for this night?! I haven't seen you for more than ten years, how can I endure this night?!" His Royal Highness Pu was very insistent, and immediately ordered the guards to go to Taiji again Palace report.

Yan Shi was still waiting to persuade, Li Xin continued: "Since you want to go to Tai Chi Palace, then go ahead immediately. A Niang, Grandpa misses grandpa and grandma very much, and I think grandpa and grandma are the same, so I won't blame you. "Besides, he should have thought about it a long time ago, if he could bear it and rest for a night before seeing him again, then he would not be his grandfather.

Li Hui is also very used to his grandpa's willful behavior, and he couldn't help thinking to himself: When grandpa seized the heirloom back then, if grandpa was a little patient and didn't show his true nature early, how could it be His Royal Highness's turn to be in the East Palace?Forget it, there is no need to bring up the past, it will only increase helplessness and unhappiness.Moreover, Grandpa was lucky enough to be the heir apparent at that time, so he would not be able to sit firmly in the Eastern Palace no matter what.They don't have to think too much, lest they accumulate resentment over time, and that would be their own death.

After walking for a while, suddenly a palace envoy came in front of him on horseback, passing on the emperor's oral order, ordering King Pu's family to go to Taiji Palace to have an audience immediately.King Pu immediately turned his grief into joy, and murmured: "As expected, Grandpa has been thinking about me..."

When Yan saw this, she stopped talking, and ordered her servants to dress her up a bit, and put on hairpins all over her head.As for Li Xin and Li Hui, they also temporarily returned to the ox cart and changed into clean clothes.

In order to avoid the loneliness of his grandfather on the way, Li Hui volunteered to go to the front to accompany Li Tai when he was full of excitement and had no one to talk to.

Li Tai was squeezing himself in front of the window screen, his chubby body almost occupied most of the compartment.He squinted his red and swollen eyes and looked at the scenery outside. When he saw his youngest son coming, he ordered him to sit beside him, and said to him from time to time: "That is the high tower of Daxingshan Temple...that is the roof of Qinglong Temple. Back then, I also donated a hundred gold to let them paint a layer of gold paint on the roof of the hall, and now it is still splendid... Look, from Fenglefang all the way to the west, crossing Xinghuafang is our palace The Yankang Square where it is located..."

Li Hui listened with gusto, and would ask a few questions from time to time, making Li Tai even more excited: "I'll take you to the Furong Garden some other day, your grandfather gave it to me—" Speaking of which, he Suddenly he choked up, and said with red eyes: "After changing the seal, it belongs to Goro...it's all his." His voice became smaller and smaller, his whole body trembled, and his gaze became extraordinarily complicated.

Wulang is the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the same mother and younger brother of His Highness Pu Wang's direct relative.Li Hui listened and felt that something was wrong with his grandfather's reaction. Although "Wulang" sounds very kind, it can also show brotherhood, but after all, the prince is the future monarch, and they are all courtiers. Such a casual address seems a bit excessive?What's more, from Grandpa's tone, it seems that he is still a little dissatisfied?

He immediately shuddered and said in a low voice, "Grandfather, that's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince—"

"I know he is the prince!" Li Taidao, "But whether he is the prince or the emperor, he is still my younger brother. I was stupid back then, and I recognized him! He..." After thinking for a while, he finally sighed: "Brother...Brother...you are right, after he sits in the East Palace, we brothers... are nothing more than that. Goro can't call him anymore, so call him Prince..."

Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about it, Li Hui was slightly relieved.At this time, the car stopped slightly, passed through the Anshang Gate of Miyagi, and continued to drive towards Taiji Palace.Li Tai talked listlessly about the government office next to the road, and said: "Your elder brother should be really lacking at this age. When you get older, I will send a memorial to your grandfather, and I will also give you a petition." One is missing."

"My child is worried, I want to stay with my grandpa and grandma all the time." Li Hui said.Of course, in his dreams, he always wanted to live in another place, far away from Chang'an, far away from Junzhou, and be free.However, when he thought about his parents who were left alone in the fief, he felt a little bit reluctant.The feeling of family reunion in the past two days is too warm, and he doesn't want to leave any family members for the time being.Moreover, both parents are getting old, especially my grandpa has been weak due to his obesity, maybe a farewell is a forever separation.

"No prospect." Li Tai snorted, "It would be a disaster to let you out like this. First learn from me for a few years, and then learn from your elder brother for a few years before I dare to let you become an official. Otherwise, you Just follow me and be a king of leisure. Or, like I did back then, a few years will soon be spent by studying one or two books, and you can still earn a good reputation."

"..." The Xiaojun Wang, who was extremely agitated in his heart, replied with a normal expression, "Grandfather, my child has no interest in writing books." Writing books?In front of his prince uncle, earning fame by writing books?Unless he feels that he is tired of living, he will ask for a "dead end"!As a clan, the right way is to be quiet and quiet, and it’s okay if it’s not too much to seek profit and enjoyment—but to gain fame?Isn't that a blatant display of great ambition?

Grandpa, you have forgotten how you indulged your ambitions when you were the king of Wei?How did he lose to his undisguised ambition?Grandpa, is it not enough for you to harm yourself by repairing books?Do you still want to encourage your son to harm the whole family? !

Of course, His Royal Highness King Pu didn't know what the youngest son was slandering at the moment, he just sighed in disappointment, shook his head and said, "You can't carve rotten wood."

"..." Xiaojun Wang was speechless again.

The author has something to say: "Three hundred Lus in Linzi, with their sleeves turned into shade, sweating like rain, they stand shoulder to shoulder...", quoted from "Yanzi Chunqiu", His Royal Highness Pu is a cheating father and son... After the sons I guess it will be quite hard →→...

Although he no longer has any desire to seize the throne, he still doesn't know what he should do... Well, the princess and the little princes must be drunk every day.
