Records of the King of Xin'an County

But he said that after Yang Qian sent the prince away, he returned to the bamboo house just now.Yang Shijing was wearing a big cloak, and continued to write brush and ink on the desk, with an extremely calm expression, as if the chatter and laughter just now were just a fleeting moment.He hesitated for a while, but still couldn't help asking: "Grandpa is being too close to the prince today, isn't he too close? He hasn't passed the test yet, neither is he a first-class leader, and he doesn't know his temperament. Why should Grandpa Treat him like this?"

"This son is definitely not in the pool." Yang Shijing didn't raise his eyes, so he didn't notice the gloomy look on his face, "What kind of character is the king of Xin'an County? He was just a filial grandson at the knee of Emperor Chenghuan Forget it, the temperament is very similar to that of King Pu, so he won the favor of the late emperor. After the late emperor passed away, he relied on Princess Changning to travel to and from the palace, and continued to win the love of the sage."

"A county king who is notoriously dislikes literature and prefers martial arts, a county king who often stays behind closed doors and doesn't even have contact with his clan children, a young man who is only sixteen or seventeen years old - unexpectedly changed overnight. He is so shrewd and powerful, every word is well-founded, and no one can refute it, and it is extremely clever to hit the favorite of the sage. How do you think he can be so blockbuster?"

Yang Qian was stunned: "Grandfather thinks... is the prince's idea for him?"

"Right now, the king of Xin'an County is so favored that almost everyone in the court admires him with admiration. Of course, it's not just because of the prince's dedication." Yang Shijing narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "However, Mingdu, you should be more careful. Think about it: Wang Zixian was almost completely ruined by rumors before, but now that the method of tribute has changed, he has become a young celebrity who has been victimized by rumors. The so-called provincial examination is to allow him to obtain the first rank in a fair manner. Head——under the watchful eyes of everyone, a young talent is born, and I am afraid that he will become famous in one fell swoop!"

"...That's right, he is the one who has benefited the most from the changes in the tribute system." Yang Qian said in a low voice, "Who can believe that he didn't try his best to make this happen? Indeed, if he hadn't been the one who helped, what would Liu Jijiu do? It is possible to openly support Xin'an County King in the court? How is it possible to get the position of chief examiner? Liu Jijiu and Xin'an County King have all identified him as the first-ranked leader in this provincial examination..." Speaking of Therefore, there was a bit of cruelty in his eyes.

"That's right, at such a young age, I don't know how much effort it took to turn the situation around to this point." Yang Shijing Fuxu smiled, "Tsk tsk, it would be a pity if such a character could not be used by our Yang family. .If one of Yang's daughters can be spared to keep him, everyone will be happy. Even if one Yang's daughter is not enough, two are fine."

Yang Qian lowered his eyes to hide the fierce look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Then I have to discuss with my mother about which younger sister should be selected to catch the son-in-law." Their family only has two sons. Ding Yuan is not as prosperous as the second bedroom, but there are about ten daughters in total.It's just that they are either too old or too young. When they didn't catch up with the good time for Na Liangdi of the East Palace, the position in the palace was taught to the only daughter-in-law of the second room.

"Which one of them do you think can handle this Prince Xian?"

"This... If you want to hold him, I'm afraid no sister has such means."

"That's true. They are too immature, how can they be the opponent of Wang Zixian? Forget it, women don't need to completely control men, as long as they can teach him to be sympathetic."

In this room, the father and son of the Yang family were discussing the candidates for marriage, one in high spirits and the other in treacherous minds. After the prince in that room returned to the Vine Garden, he only stayed for a while before quietly going to Prince Pu's Mansion.It was dark at this time, and Li Hui had just finished his official duties, and was dancing his sword in the bedroom to loosen his muscles and bones.He stood by the door and quietly looked at his handsome figure, the anger in his heart because of the Yang family completely dissipated without knowing it.

After dancing with the knife, Li Hui was already sweating. He raised his eyes and saw him, and couldn't help laughing: "I heard that you went to the Yang family's literature club? You must have had a good conversation with the father and son of Hongnong County for a whole day. Forget it." When Yang Shijing looked at him back then, he noticed something strange in the other's eyes, but he didn't know what the old fox was planning.Now maybe you can figure out one or two.

"He seems to be interested in me for ten minutes." Wang Zixian approached him, with a faint smile, "Perhaps your recent demeanor is attributed to me and Liu Jijiu. It seems that the world is hard to believe You are "three years silent, one blockbuster", everyone thought that someone must have acted through your mouth. Xuan Qi, your past behavior and behavior have indeed confused many people. Even the old foxes in the court may have never turned back God come."

"That's fine." Li Hui raised his eyebrows, "Let them keep guessing who is behind me. Before they're sure, they won't make things difficult for me. If I can make them think that I've always been It would be best if my uncle taught me in secret." No matter now or in the future, everything he does must be in line with the wishes of today's sages, so that he can become an unswerving "imperial party" " reputation.

"Come to think of it, even a sage once asked you if you thought up those words alone?" Wang Zixian asked again.

Li Hui raised the corners of his mouth: "Of course my uncle will ask, and I only need to answer. Because I have been confused for the past two days, I can ask Master Xuanhui and a few famous people for advice." After a pause, he shook his head and laughed again. : "Unknowingly, Master Xuanhui was brought out again. I really feel sorry for him. How about we go to Daci'en Temple to visit him someday? He likes to play chess, and his style of chess is steady. You can just kill a few games with him." .”

"Alright, I have heard the name of Master Xuanhui for a long time, but I have never had the chance to pay a visit." The prince offered back.

The two looked at each other with a smile, and then casually talked about the Yang family: "After this incident, Yang Shijing overestimated me, but Yang Qian couldn't tolerate me anymore. Of course, I can never be the reason why their father and son turned against each other—but, As long as their father and son gradually start to be inconsistent, the reason for the split and turmoil may not be difficult to find out."

"Speaking of which, I remember that Yang Qian is the youngest son, and there is an elder brother above him? But because of his poor health, he never came out to socialize." Li Hui said, these news were naturally informed by Princess Changning, who regards the Yang family as an enemy. "Perhaps, you can give this Yang Dalang a try in the future." If the Yang family is really ambitious and has far-reaching schemes, how can this Yang Dalang be willing to lose his fame, family property, county duke—even the "world" in the future to his younger brother? go?

"Yang Dalang? Zimu has never mentioned it, and he probably doesn't even know about it. This Yang Dalang is so unknown, but Yang Qian is famous all over the world. Comparing the two, it is really hard not to have other thoughts." Prince Xianlue Zuo pondered, "I'll visit Yang's house when I can go in and out of it."

It is not easy to disintegrate a powerful and powerful family, and it is even more difficult to shake a top family like the Hongnong Yang family.However, no matter how lush and leafy a giant tree is, it will collapse after decaying from the inside out.Disputes within one's own family, brothers fighting against each other, are the best ways to destroy a family.

The two lightly decided on the ups and downs that the Yang family would encounter in the future, and then brought up other things.Until they fell asleep on the same bed after taking a bath, they seemed to have endless things to talk about—whether it was big or small things, or even just the pedestrians they saw on the roadside while riding back and forth, they could become their topics of conversation.

Zhang Fu's mother closed the door of the dormitory gently, and heard the faint chuckle coming from inside, she sighed invisibly.The round-faced little maid beside her holding a lantern couldn't help but whispered: "The friendship between our king and this Wang Langjun is really deep. I have never seen such a close friend. It seems that I can't say anything. It can be said that there is no need to hide anything. Just seeing each other, the two people's faces are full of smiles, and there is no trace of anger and sullenness."

Mrs. Zhang looked at her thoughtfully: "That's right, as long as both of them feel happy in their hearts... that's enough. The New Year gifts sent to Henan Mansion have already been out of the warehouse? I'm still a little worried, Accompany me to check again. No matter how good Luoyang is, how can it compare to Chang’an? Everything that should be sent there must not be missing... Saburo made a special trip to the West Market a while ago, just to choose a boxing ceremony... ...He is such a filial and good boy, His Highness has always loved him, so he should be reluctant to let him live unhappy..."

The ignorant little maid didn't know the deep meaning in her words, so she agreed repeatedly and let her go.The shaky lights gradually faded away in the night, and after a while they merged into the darkness in the distance.

More than ten days later, Li Hui ushered in the New Year's Eve alone.The saint and Empress Du took pity on him very much, and specially ordered him to enter the palace earlier on New Year's Eve.Therefore, he, Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an accompanied Queen Du, and he didn't feel lonely.The New Year's Eve banquet was even more lively, and all the royal families in Beijing, including the Yue Palace, Jing Palace, Peng Palace, Lu Palace, Princess Linchuan, Princess Anxing, and Princess Qinghe, all entered the palace to celebrate together.

Although he could only sit alone at the table, and his parents, brother-in-law and little niece were not around, Li Hui still infected everyone's joy, and his body was also full of joy.After the exorcism was rewarded with him, he bid farewell to the emperor and returned to Prince Pu's Mansion—the bedroom hall was brightly lit, and the supposedly cold and lonely hall was as warm as spring. His familiar figure was reclining on the soft couch, watching intently. write a book.

Li Hui couldn't help being startled, and suddenly felt that everything in his field of vision had become empty, and only that figure was the clearest, as if engraved in his mind and even his soul.He has never been so clearly aware of how important Wang Zixian is to him.For a moment, he even became a little confused——

Is this the same for all life-and-death acquaintances and confidants in this world?Not only does the soul feel close, and all thoughts and thoughts can resonate, even when I see him, I can't help but want to keep getting closer.Although it made him feel a little uncomfortable to get too close, but it made him feel more uncomfortable if he moved away.

"Xuan Qi, are you back?" At this moment, Wang Zixian found him, put down the book and smiled slightly.

At this moment, Li Hui buried his confusion and puzzlement in his heart, and walked forward slowly with the corners of his mouth raised: "It's really a pleasant surprise to see you as soon as I come back."
