Records of the King of Xin'an County

"At that time, I just wished I could get up immediately, so that I could go to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit as soon as possible! Now, I finally got my wish..." The weeping Hejian County King walked up to the saint, bowed his head again, and his whole body seemed to be transparent. Excitement and extreme excitement, but also with irrepressible admiration.This situation is enough to make many bystanders can't help being slightly moved.

The sage was no exception, and he helped him up with a smile like a spring breeze: "How can I not remember? It was rare to see my much older nephew at that time, and I almost remembered it wrongly, and I wanted to call you 'brother'. When you called 'Uncle King Jin', I was stunned for a while, and I didn't know how to respond." The generation of the Hejian County King is the lowest in the clan, and a group of clan princes and county kings are all The elders, but those who are old enough to be his children and grandchildren are out-and-out peers.

After looking at each other affectionately and smiling because of the memories of the past, the pair of cheap uncles and nephews sat down enthusiastically and exchanged greetings.Li Jing blinked, listening to Hejian County King skipping over many things during the journey lightly, and not mentioning the important matters of the town's military training, but only talking about his feelings after entering Beijing, he couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart: It's only been a day since I returned to Chang'an after returning to Beijing, so how can there be so many things to say? !They are not those female relatives who are interested in the family affairs, who wants to listen to him say these things? !

Li Wei noticed that he was full of complaints, so he punched him on the side calmly as a warning.He suppressed the pain, managed to stabilize his calm expression, but he couldn't help being furious, and glared at his elder brother.Fortunately, everyone is currently listening intently to the conversation between the pair of cheap uncles and nephews, and no one pays attention to the two brothers, otherwise it is inevitable that people will see the clues.

The sage was not in a hurry. Listening to the Hejian County King describing the scenery of Chang'an, he seemed to have discovered the prosperity and prosperity of the capital overnight. He raised his lips and smiled and said, "It's bitter cold at the border. I've wronged you. Why don't you stay in Chang'an more?" In time, I hold a banquet to entertain you every day, and it can be considered as a reward for your loyalty over the years."

"I can't afford it..." Hejian County King sighed with a smile, "I just did some things, but I bothered the sage to host a banquet to pay for it. I am really sorry. In terms of hard work, the grandfather of the Yong'an clan has been in the army for decades. When you are old, you should stay in Chang'an to enjoy the family happiness. Now that I am in the prime of life, I can continue to guard the soil for the saint for decades!"

"Your loyalty, I understand." The saint seemed to be a little emotional, "We are all descendants of the Li family, how can some of us stay in Chang'an to enjoy the blessings, while others have to experience the truth of wind, frost, rain and snow? I will also Persuade Uncle Yongan to let him retire in the capital with peace of mind. As for you, no matter how reluctant I am, I must let you go to the border, otherwise I will not be relieved. However, there is no need to refuse to hold a banquet. It’s the end of the new year, so it’s good to have some lively celebrations, and it’s a good omen to return to Shengzhou with joy.”

The king of Hejian County hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "This year, there has been heavy snowfall near Shengzhou, lack of food and grass, and the Turkic and Tiele tribes attached to it seem to be a little unstable. I really feel a little worried. If there is any change in them and something happens Come on, what face do you have to participate in the banquet hosted by the saint? What face do you have to call yourself a saint and do your best?"

"That's true." The saint didn't insist, but just sighed, "That's a pity."

The king of Hejian couldn't help but his eyes were slightly loose, and he was about to say a few pleasant words to turn around, when he heard someone next to him suddenly say: "Saint, forgive me for speaking bluntly: the clan is finally reunited, if we don't get together for a longer time, next time I don’t know when the reunion will be. Especially Yong’an County King and Hejian County King rushed back to the capital for thousands of miles, and they rushed back again before they had time to rest. What if they fell ill on the way ?”

This voice is extremely young, slightly deep, but as exciting as the sound of a flute.King Hejian thought it sounded familiar, but when he looked back, he saw the young and handsome low-ranking official whom he had just met yesterday smiled at him with a splendid face: "Especially King Yong'an is old, Hejian County Wang is just recovering from a serious illness, so he still needs to be more careful. It’s not too late to go back to Shazhou and Shengzhou when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.”

The saint raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "What Ai Qing said is very true. I really don't feel relieved - if they all fall ill on the way, it means that I don't understand the mistakes of my ministers. This time I summoned all the clans, I also It's just for the sake of reunion, but I can't overwork my two confidant generals by the town. Otherwise, the loss outweighs the gain."

King Hejian immediately frowned and said, "Saint, don't worry, I'm fine... In fact, staying in Chang'an is also what I wish, but the situation in Shengzhou is a bit complicated, and I really can't let it go... ...Sigh, if I had known today, I should have cultivated an assistant official who can take care of things..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." The young official continued, "It's just that there is a lack of food and grass, and we only need to dispatch it from a few nearby states. After all, the Turkic and Tiele tribes have been attached to them for a long time. If there is no life and death There will not be any troubles. What's more, several Turkic generals are all in Beijing and have great prestige. You only need to let them write a letter to appease you, and you will be safe."

King Hejian couldn't find any other excuse for a while, so he forced a smile to agree.The sage glanced at his changing expression, and said both true and false: "What? Just now you said that the capital is prosperous and wanted to stay and drink with me, but now Wang Aiqing offered advice to relieve your worries, but you seem not happy?"

"No, of course I'm happy!" King Hejian hurriedly said, "It's just that I have some worries in my heart. This Wang Langjun is quick-witted and can solve my worries in time. He really deserves to be the youngest first-class leader of the kingdom. The minister's dog is only two or three years younger than him, but he is far behind!!"

The sage stroked his short mustache and smiled very happily: "I personally took the top-ranked hair, which is naturally not comparable to ordinary young people." No matter what official rank you are in, you can detect what you want in time, and immediately stand up. Being able to be reached by others without any family burden - such a talent, such a lonely minister, he is naturally very satisfied. "However, don't be too modest. Your Dalang is an honest boy, and he looks very similar to Xuan Qi in the past. Maybe one day he will stand out and become my right-hand man?"

The Hejian County King smiled and said a few words of humility, and looked at Wang Buque without any trace, his eyes sank slightly.Not long after, the sage called Li Wei and Li Jing brothers over again, let them get to know Hejian County King, and praised: "These two children are quite talented in military affairs. So far away from the frontier, I will share the worries of you generals. At that time, you are not allowed to hide your secrets, and teach them early, so that you can return to Chang'an to enjoy leisurely, right?"

"The sage said it very well. Even for the sake of my leisure time in the future, I will definitely do my best." King Hejian agreed, with a cold gleam in his eyes.

Li Jing secretly glanced at him keenly, and became more and more disgusted with this man.He has already made a choice, if the saint wants to hand him over to the King of Hejian County to teach him, he will definitely not agree - after all, the saint knows that this person intends to seek rebellion, so he should not send his nephew to him in vain Hostage?

After chatting for several hours, the sage left the three nephews in the palace for lunch and dinner, and then reluctantly let them out of the palace.As soon as Hejian County King rode away on his horse, Li Jing took advantage of Li Wei's thoughtfulness, and immediately rode his horse straight to Xin'an County Prince's Mansion.

After he came to Li Hui's study and described the scene just now vividly, Wang Zixian also came over.The three of them went to sit opposite each other in the secret room, and had some supper.Princess Changning, Princess Xin'an, and Du Jialan listened quietly, with different expressions, as if thinking about countermeasures, and as if vaguely worried.

At some point, there were several other people in the secret room.Li Jing turned around and looked, and recognized most of the familiar faces.Needless to say, Wang Zixian's two younger sisters and his younger brother He Cheng had known each other before; Yan Balang was also an old friend, Li Hui's cousin, and the general supervisor who is now in charge of repairing the Yue Palace and building the Tianshui County Palace— —

As for Cheng Wei and Cheng Jiusi?Didn't you join the Yang family before?Could it be that it was a dark chess game buried at some time?Or recruit him over?Who is the other big bearded man with a straightforward face?Even a young child?Open your eyes wide, as if you don't understand anything, can you enter the secret room at will even if you don't understand?Don't worry about him revealing the secret? !

Seeing the slight change in his expression, Li Hui followed his gaze and said with a smile: "Cheng Jiusi and his senior brother Fan Zhengchong are friends Zi Xian met when he was traveling abroad. Now Jiusi is the supervisory censor, and Zhengchong plans to take the martial arts exam. However, if you lack a trustworthy person around you, you can take him to Shazhou. Zheng Chong has also traveled abroad alone, and he has a good understanding of the frontier scenery, which should be a great help for you."

"Welcome." Li Jing immediately brightened his eyes, looked carefully at Fan Wu's strong and thick figure, and sighed, "It looks like a master! We must compete in martial arts someday!" , He glanced at the young boy in the corner again, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, whose family is that child? It doesn't look like our Li family...or their Wang family."

"That's Zi Xian and my disciple, Yang Shen, whose nickname is A Tao." Li Hui said, calling Yang Shen over, and bowed to the elder, "We have been a little busy recently, so we sent A Tao to Mr. Song's side to study. Right now I am idle, I just picked him up and plan to teach him personally. You will have many opportunities to meet in the future, and you will get to know each other soon."

Li Jing instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what was wrong for a while, so he stopped thinking about it.The sisters of the Wang family looked at each other silently, exchanged glances with Princess Changning veiledly, and couldn't help looking at Du Jialan curiously; He Cheng sat upright, pretending not to know, and Cheng Wei just smiled and said nothing.As for Fan Wu and Yan Balang, they didn't notice anything at all, but it was the same as before.

County Lord Xin'an looked at his elder brother, saw that he had ignored some details "naturally", and asked about Yang Shen's schooling with great interest, as if he regarded himself as an elder, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: It seems that she will never I can't even expect my elder brother to be full of hearts and eyes like my cousin.Even if it takes a long time, it may take decades.
