Records of the King of Xin'an County

After the kings entered the capital, they immediately attracted attention from all directions.Many well-informed high-ranking official families rushed to send them posts about banquets around the New Year's Eve.For several days, because of their presence at the banquet, there was endless excitement and laughter.At this time, it seems that the cloud brought about by Princess Anxing's conspiracy has completely dissipated.People seem to have completely forgotten about this noble lord who brought countless rumors and gossips in the past. They are not talking about the young princes of the royal family of Yong'an County, but the brotherhood of King Si Chu, King Si Pu and Prince Xin'an deep.

Of course, the upcoming marriage of Prince Xin'an is equally eye-catching.After all, there are too few marriageable children of the royal family staying in Chang'an, and this kind of big wedding scene is really rare.This wedding may be the same as Princess Changning's big wedding last year, and it will also become a grand festival that people spent years ago.

However, unlike ordinary new sons-in-law, the king of Xin'an County didn't seem to think about the marriage and the bride at all, but was busy with official duties and could not stop almost all day long.Don't talk about Sinong Temple, it's just Zongzheng Temple's business, and it has increased a lot because of the kings' entry into the capital, which made him overwhelmed.Even when resting at night, I feel a little restless.

As Zongzheng Shaoqing, he has almost logically replaced Zongzhengqing.And after King Jing finished hearing the case of Princess Anxing, he went back to the palace to rest silently, and didn't take the opportunity to claim credit for regaining control of Zongzheng Temple.In the past two days, his youngest son Li Ge, who had been a common man, also "unfortunately died of illness", so he was even more mournful and injured, and it was said that he had already been bedridden.

The day after the stove sacrifice, Li Hui hurriedly took a confession note to the Liangyi Hall to ask to see the saint.The sage unfolded it, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he casually threw it into the brazier next to him: "Xuan Qi, you haven't read this copybook yet, have you guessed that King Hejian handed it over at this time?" What is your intention?" The flames rose up suddenly, and burned Zhezi to ashes in a blink of an eye.

"According to the guards he sent to deliver the notebooks, he was accused of being delayed on the way." Li Hui replied.Of course, on what grounds the "delay" was explained, he hardly had to guess.What better excuse than Wu Guogong, Qin An, and King Jing, who are used to "sickness"?

"I contracted a cold on the way, and became seriously ill, so I had to stay temporarily at the post station for treatment. Now that my condition has eased a little, I will be able to leave after a few days of rest, and I will try my best to arrive in the capital before New Year's Eve... Oh, believe it Do not believe?"

"My son doesn't believe it." Li Hui replied without hesitation, "Whether other people are credulous or not, my son feels that there are many doubts. Like the king of Yong'an County, Hejian County King is the leader who guards the frontier all the year round. Going to battle in person, your body must be extremely strong, and you will never easily fall ill on the way. What's more, the king of Yong'an came from Shazhou, not only the journey is farther, but he is also more than [-] years older - he is still safe It's all right, how could Duke Hejian be seriously ill?"

The distance between Shazhou and Chang'an is almost twice the distance between Shengzhou and Chang'an.The old and frail King Yong'an led a group of children and grandchildren to rush over at a speed of thousands of miles. He was still full of energy.However, the king of Hejian County was in his prime, not only still on the way, but also fell ill, so he was unable to enter Beijing for a long time.

With all these things, people can't help but ask: when did he set off from Shengzhou?Why delay departure?Does Shengzhou have emergency military affairs?Or was there something urgent that had to be dealt with?If you set off as scheduled, why are you traveling so leisurely all the way?Haven't been to the capital yet?Since it was not a rush, how could it be possible to easily fall ill on the way?

With so many doubts, how many people will believe the words of the county king's confession?Wouldn't it be more reasonable to infer that he has no king in his eyes, or even harbors evil intentions?

"Boy, I think he should have a guilty conscience? He deliberately stopped on the way to make judgments at any time based on the news from Beijing. For example, what is the result of Anxing's treason case, or is it possible that Anxing will be sent to Beijing?" He confessed. He would never have ventured into Chang'an if he wasn't sure it was safe to do so."

The so-called "big event" has been prepared for decades, and seeing that he is about to "succeed in the hegemony", how can he be willing to risk his life?Maybe Hejian County King was really courageous, otherwise he would not choose to seek rebellion.But when he sees the prosperity and wealth is close at hand, he absolutely does not want to just collapse in Chang'an and everything will be wiped out.After possessing the ambitions and desires that he shouldn't have, he is actually more timid than anyone else.

"Then, if he has the guts to enter the capital, should I kill him?" The saint raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

"This... I don't even know." Li Hui frowned, and replied, "...It's not entirely certain that he is pretending to be seriously ill. Accidents may also happen. Maybe he is really sick like a mountain? Moreover, the evidence is not sufficient right now, and his uncle's death at this time may cause controversy. There will also be turmoil in the vicinity of Shengzhou, and it may be that his son just took this opportunity to raise the banner of rebellion to avenge his hatred. After all, Uncle Yu's Bad reputation."

The sage put the imperial brush dipped in cinnabar on the brush washer, with a smile that was not a smile: "That's right. I have been waiting for so many years, so why not wait a little longer? Wait until Cheng Qingbo has won his trust and gained his trust. Evidence, it is not too late to wipe him out in one fell swoop. The people around Shengzhou should also be replaced. It is indeed my negligence to let them stay in one state and one place for so many years. They should have been transferred in four years. Otherwise, we would not be able to develop such great ambitions."

"If you want to be transferred to be the King of Hejian County, it is better to also transfer the King of Yong'an County. Otherwise, it is inevitable to scare the snake." Li Hui said again, "I have seen that the King of Yong'an County is not only straightforward in temperament, but also quite scheming. , I will definitely understand my uncle's painstaking efforts. If it is to avoid suspicion, he may also take the initiative to propose a transfer."

"...Do you think he is very good?" The saint looked directly at the young man in front of him.

"So far, he is indeed a respectable elder. However, his children and grandchildren are somewhat mixed." The two grandsons of King Yong'an left in Beijing are well-known playboys in the clan, and they dare not commit them except for those serious crimes. In addition, they have been contaminated with almost all illegal things.On the contrary, the eldest son of Hejian County King stayed in the capital. He stayed behind closed doors all day long and never caused trouble. It was very easy to ignore and forget.However, in recent years, he has made friends with the Jiangxia County King who just entered Beijing, and he has also become one of the targets of supervision.

"Oh, yes, there are good and bad... Every family is inevitably like this, and it is not easy not to cause harm..." The saint seemed to be touched, and sighed softly, and said to his nephew, "In the future, you will Once you are married, you don’t have to worry about the affairs of the Zongzheng Temple for the next two days. Go back home and rest well, recharge your energy and prepare to marry the bride. Otherwise, what would it look like if you greeted the bride with a tired face?”

"..." Li Hui seemed rather surprised that he brought up this matter at this time, paused, and then replied, "The matter is urgent, and my uncle is sick again..."

"What urgent business can Zongzheng Temple have? It's just a family matter, and there is no rush for a day or two. Besides, except for Hejian County King and..., haven't everyone who should come have already come? You don't have to worry about these official duties anymore, otherwise your grandpa and grandma should be in a hurry with me."

Prince Hejian and...?Li Hui noticed his pause, and still insisted: "My aunt and brother and sister-in-law helped to prepare for the marriage, and it has already been prepared. Even if the child returns home, there is nothing to do... Come to Zongzheng Temple, but it won't happen." If you have nothing to do, you may feel better in your heart.”

"Isn't it good to have nothing to do? It's good to rest for a day or two, to improve your complexion."

"The baby looks good all the time, why make a special trip to recuperate?"

"You're just relying on your youth." The sage continued to talk to his nephew who was lazy, "What? Didn't you listen to my dictation? You child, I don't know what kind of temper it is. It's a good happy event, but when it comes, I don't take it to heart at all, as if I don't care about it. What's the matter? Is Mrs. Du not the bride you want to marry? If you fall in love with a young lady from any family, I will immediately come down How about carrying it into the mansion for you and making you a child?"

"...No, baby... My baby wants to marry Mrs. Du... Just marrying Mrs. Du is enough..." The Prince of Xin'an was startled, and glanced at Wang Zixian who was sorting out the documents not far away, "Didn't you see?" What other little lady... that's all right, my son will leave." Marrying a Du family already made him feel guilty, and he couldn't be at peace for a long time.If two more were brought in, even if Wang Zixian could bear it, he himself would not be able to bear it!

Therefore, the king of Xin'an County asked for leave in advance to take a bath, and returned to the palace decorated with lanterns and festoons.Due to his busy schedule, he hadn't looked at his mansion carefully for a long time.Now that he was free, walking slowly in the snow alone, he realized that the palace was very different.Except for his bedroom, it seems that every corner has changed.And all the changes gathered in one place made this mansion a little strange.

Under the eaves, in the promenade, and on the treetops, it seems that exquisite red lanterns are burning everywhere, completely dispelling the darkness; The spring breeze came inadvertently overnight, thousands of trees and flowers bloomed, and the warmth was harmonious.

It was clear that the sky was already dark, but the mansion was still as bright as day.Li Hui stared blankly at the flowers and trees in front of him, which were both real and fake. When he looked back suddenly, he saw Wang Zixian walking with an oil-paper umbrella.At some point, snow fell on the umbrella, and he was graceful, like a fairy in the snow, fluttering as if he wanted to fly away.

Before he could react, Li Hui had already gone up to meet him, tightly grasping his wrist, and staring at him steadfastly.

"Why?" Wang Zixian's eyebrows and eyes are still handsome and gentle, and his gaze is as affectionate as ever.

"I've never noticed that the mansion has changed...I don't know when it changed, I'm not used to it..."

"On these days, Her Royal Highness personally arranges it. Why, don't you like it?"

"I don't like it." The previous palace belonged to the two of them, but now it doesn't seem to belong to them anymore.

Wang Zixian understood his implication in an instant, and smiled lightly: "I don't like it either. I will just take it down later." These arrangements reminded him all the time what was going to happen.He didn't want to see it, but he had to see it.If you deliberately avoid it, you will feel even more tormented.

"I'm going to get married in the future."

"I know, I will be your bridesmaid."

"It's just a wedding. You can treat it as you and me getting married. If there is a chance in the future, we can make up another wedding."

"...I understand...Xuan Qi...I understand, we can't help ourselves."

However, Li Hui still couldn't control the uneasiness in his heart: "Besides, I swear to Mantian God and Buddha that I will never hurt you again." Therefore, this wedding should not have any impact on them. ?No, it will definitely not bring any change to them!He will definitely keep everything else out of the county palace!Whether it's a so-called imperial maid, or a child from a good family! !

The prince smiled, took him into his arms, and kissed his lips: "I can also swear to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, we will stay together until decades later, and die in the same year, the same month, and the same day." Until now, Even if the person in his arms wants to let go, he will never do what he wants.
