Records of the King of Xin'an County

Riding on the steed, Li Hui suddenly felt a little nervous when he saw Duke Wu's mansion in the distance.In fact, it was not the first time he had visited Duke Wu's mansion, and it was certainly not that he had never met Qin An, Duke of Wu.Every time my aunt Princess Qinghe held a banquet, she never forgot to call him, and my uncle Qin Shen also took him to visit his uncle and grandfather.Although it was rumored that this uncle and grandfather looked down on King Pu Li Tai very much, he still treated a junior like him kindly.

However, today is different from the past.He didn't come here to visit his elders, but he hoped to persuade Qin An to say a few good words for Yue Wang Li Heng in front of the saint.The elders who treated him kindly in the past may not be able to talk to him now.Maybe he will be kicked out as soon as he expresses his intentions.Because this elder is not only scheming, but also has obvious likes and dislikes, it is difficult to shake his thoughts and resolve.

Not to mention that now Qin An has faded out of court affairs for the sake of the future of Duke Wu's mansion.Even based on the experience of his previous life, he has no good impression of Yue Wang Li Heng.After all, Li Heng was not descended from the Queen of Qin, he never flowed with the blood of the Qin family, and he once posed a threat to the succession of his kin and nephew.Even if the grandmother lived longer in this life, and there was no such thing as the grandfather feeling that King Jin was too weak and wanting to make King Yue the crown prince, this uncle really had no reason to draw his sword to help.

However, after discussing with Wang Zixian for a whole night, the only person he can think of who is most likely to save Yue Wang Li Heng is the Duke of Wu, Qin An. , only him.After all, although he claimed to be recuperating at home due to illness, he was still the Minister Zuo Pushe who was under one person and over ten thousand people, and his status was higher than that of Jian Guogong Xuye.What's more, he is also the uncle of the saint's direct relative, A Weng of Princess Qinghe, and his prestige among the royal relatives is also one of the best.

Although many thoughts turned in his mind, when Li Hui came to Wu Guogong's mansion, his expression had completely calmed down.

Cousin Qin Cheng had already received his message, and hurried out of the house to greet him.He is still young, less than 14 years old, his face is still immature, but his words and deeds are like his father Qin Shen, appearing very stable and mature.Although his temperament is diametrically opposed to Li Jing, the king of Tianshui County, and Zhou Yijun, the second son of Princess Linchuan, the three of them have always been very close because they grew up together since childhood.On the contrary, Li Hui didn't get in touch with them often, but they had a good impression of each other.

After the two cousins ​​exchanged a few pleasantries, Qin Cheng led Li Hui to see Princess Qinghe.When entering the courtyard where Princess Qinghe lived, Qin Cheng suddenly slowed down and asked in a low voice: "Cousin is here to see grandfather and Auntie? I want them to come forward to replace second uncle and cousin Jing Xing. Talk about love?"

"Yes." Li Hui replied, "The Second Father and the others were wronged suddenly, and I don't know how much they have suffered, let alone what punishment they will receive in the future. But there is nothing I can do. For the current plan, I can only ask someone to persuade my uncle. A Cheng, do you know how uncle and aunt's attitude is?"

"A Niang, I really don't want to believe that my second uncle would actually have a heart of treason." Qin Cheng sighed, "But my grandfather told her not to act rashly. According to my grandfather, the situation is not yet clear, and the Yue Palace has just fallen. It's just difficult, and nothing will happen easily. Wait a little longer, and it won't be too late to enter the palace after everyone in the court sings and I come on stage."

After listening, Li Hui couldn't help his eyes light up: "Uncle and grandfather will enter the palace to speak for the second generation father?"

Qin Cheng was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Grandfather didn't mean that. He just reminded A Niang not to be too eager."

"So that's it, I can save it." Li Hui's eyes dimmed uncontrollably: Maybe it's not just a reminder, but also a warning.Now I don't know what the saint's intentions are, if he enters the palace rashly to persuade him, it is very likely that things will backfire.Even though Princess Qinghe is the younger sister of the sage, the brother-sister relationship is very deep because of their similar age, which is completely different from the deposed prince Li Song and his grandfather Li Tai, so they can't be too casual.

"Cousin, I want to save them too." Seeing his brows furrowed, Qin Cheng couldn't help but said again, "If there's anything I can do, just say it. Cousin Jing Xing's temperament is so cheerful, and his eyes are always tolerant How can he bear the grievance he is facing now without sand? The most embarrassing thing for him is probably not just being wronged, but... it is the two bastards who are not as good as pigs and dogs, Prince Langling and Prince Guizheng!"

Seeing his gloomy brows and his indignation palpable, Li Hui suddenly felt that he could understand Empress Du's mood yesterday.Presumably Empress Du was looking at him at that time, just like he is looking at this little cousin now.

"A Cheng, I accept your wishes. However, the current situation is complicated, and we juniors should not act rashly. If we can invite the elders to come forward, there may be a turning point."

Hearing this, Qin Cheng was a little annoyed: "Then I will go to persuade my grandfather every day!"

"That's good." Seeing his rare childish appearance, Li Hui's expression turned pale, "As long as we brothers and sisters work together, we will be able to save the Second Father's family. By the way, it's not convenient for me to visit the Yue Palace recently. The Second Mother and Huan Niang (Lord of Xin'an County). If there is a chance, can my cousin go and see how they are doing, so as to comfort them?"

"Aniang has also mentioned this matter, and my younger sister has already thought about it. She also went to see Sister Li Niang (the head of Xuancheng County) yesterday." Qin Cheng replied.Li Hui secretly felt ashamed that he had forgotten about the recently married Xuancheng county head.Fortunately, this cousin married into a side branch of Wu Guogong's mansion, and she is already the wife of the Qin family.With the protection of Princess Qinghe, she will be safe and sound.

"It's so good. When I visit the Second Father, Cousin Qianli and Jing Xing tomorrow, I can bring them some news about the female relatives." Li Hui said.There are Empress Du and Princess Changning in the palace, but he is not worried that Li Heng and others will suffer any grievances in terms of food and clothing.However, all kinds of eyeliners are watching closely all the time, and the only news he can say is that the female relatives are safe and sound.

After seeing Princess Qinghe, Li Hui noticed that she looked a little haggard.Although she still looks rosy and rosy, her eyes are full of tiredness, and she is also very thoughtful.Originally, he wanted to ask her to enter the palace to find out what the saint said, but after hearing what Qin Cheng said and seeing her current appearance, he couldn't bear to let her also enter this muddy water.

So, he said: "Auntie, my nephew is here today to ask to see my uncle and grandfather. I wonder if my aunt can spare some time and bring my nephew to visit him?"

Princess Qinghe looked at him with a complicated expression, and said softly: "You child, your temper full of enthusiasm is nothing like your grandfather or brother." Turn around and take Li Hui to see Qin An in person.Qin Cheng silently stood by one side, and silently followed behind them. Even though Princess Qinghe ordered him to study in the study, he was very stubborn and refused to leave.

Princess Qinghe reluctantly took both of them to the room in the corner of the garden.This room is not big, hidden in the depths of the pines, a gurgling brook flows around the room, quite a bit of artistic conception in the mountains.There are two or three sweet-scented osmanthus trees dotted outside, which have gradually formed some flower buds.When the breeze blows, there will be a faint fragrance. Presumably when the flowers are in full bloom in mid-autumn, the fragrance nearby will be almost astonishing.

"A Weng, Xuan Qi is here, I want to have a few words with A Weng." Princess Qinghe said crisply.

The Xuan room was quiet, and after a short while, an angry voice replied: "Xuan Qi? Saburo of Prince Pu's Mansion? Then let him come in. Concubine, you and A Cheng go back." It sounds like this The uncle and grandfather's body is very good, and he doesn't look like a person who needs to "sick at home".

Princess Qinghe hesitated to speak, and finally left with Qin Cheng.Qin Cheng was rather reluctant, turned his head three times a step, winked again and again, as if he wished he could "rush" in with Li Hui to ask for help.Princess Qinghe couldn't help laughing when she saw him winking so rarely, and patted him on the back lightly.He bowed his head and left without saying a word.

Li Hui watched them go away, and then gently pushed open the door of the hall.In an instant, there was a refreshing air rushing towards the face, and the remaining heat in the body dissipated in an instant.

He raised his eyes and saw ice cauldrons placed at the four corners of Xiaoxuan room, breathing out the cold air slowly.And on the wide Hu bed (back chair) in the center, a fat old man was leaning back comfortably, squinting his eyes and looking at him.In front of him was an extremely chaotic game of chess, as if it were just black and white clouds randomly placed, but there was a vague sense of mystery.

As the saying goes, my nephew is uncle Xiao.Undoubtedly, among the three brothers born by Empress Qin, her grandpa Li Tai may be the nephew who resembles her uncle the most.Not only are they similar in appearance, but they are also very similar in body shape.And Wu Guogong, Qin An, has always been nicknamed "Dough Tuan". He was tall, white and fat, and his face was extremely kind.

Xu had been "recovering from illness" at home for many days, and because of his open mind and fat body, he seemed to be rounder again, more like Li Tai who was out of breath after walking a few steps.When he squinted his eyes, if it weren't for two sharp gazes, it would seem almost the same as closing his eyes for a nap.

"My son has met my uncle and grandfather." Li Hui saluted respectfully, and when he looked at Qin An, he couldn't help but think of his grandfather Li Tai again.

The two are indeed similar in stature and appearance, but when it comes to wisdom and conduct, my grandfather is far inferior to the old fox in front of me.Perhaps the reason why Qin An hated Li Tai was also because he was too disappointed in him.If it is said that when he gets along with his grandfather, he is sometimes helpless, sometimes sighs, and sometimes has to pretend to be naive; when facing this uncle and grandfather, it is just the opposite, it is always difficult to relax, and there is a faint sense of timidity.

"You don't need to be too polite, come and sit." Qin An's cheeks trembled, and he said very bluntly, "I know your reason for coming, and I am also very curious. How do you plan to persuade this old man?"

"..." For a while, Li Hui was startled.The scene of constant circling and gradually clarifying the intentions that had been thought of in advance disappeared in an instant, and those well-prepared gorgeous rhetoric were also difficult to export.
