Records of the King of Xin'an County

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Prince Pu's Mansion had a banquet and invited guests.Not only did the clan gather together again, but the princesses also came in exceptionally complete sets. Even the saints in the palace and Empress Du also rewarded things worth tens of thousands of gold.Seeing this situation, a group of people surrounded Pu Wang Li Tai and said all kinds of good things.And the scenery of Prince Pu's Mansion seemed to be within sight.

Sipu King Li Xin accompanied the guests calmly, skillfully dealing with the elders and peers, almost making everyone feel at home.Without anyone noticing, his eyes were fixed on Prince Hejian from time to time, his eyes were calm and calm.Even if he is not familiar with this person, it does not prevent him from judging the person's temperament and changing thoughts from various inadvertent details.

In addition to Li Xin, Li Wei, who is also a guest, also seems to have a very strong interest in Hejian County King.Taking advantage of the kind words of Shengshi Shengren a year ago, he seemed to be completely ignorant of euphemism, and every time he met, he would earnestly ask Hejian County King for advice on how to use soldiers.At the beginning, Prince Hejian was able to answer the question with a smile, but every time it happened like this, he couldn't take it anymore, and inevitably gradually became tired, and tried to be vague as much as possible.

However, Li Wei seemed to have never noticed his boredom, and continued to discuss with him earnestly.And Li Jing, who wandered around and kept drinking with the clan's children, also came over from time to time, listened curiously, and interrupted to ask some inexplicable questions.Just dealing with these two brothers, Duke Hejian found it very difficult.What's more, the two of them pestered him openly, so that he had no chance to contact other people for a while.

Wang Qiang of Hejian County smiled, seemingly enthusiastically continuing to deal with the two brothers of the Yue Palace, but secretly speculated about their intentions.Could it be that he was ordered by the saint to separate him from other clans?Pave the way for no one in the clan to speak for him in the future?It's a pity that their wishful thinking may be wrong.With King Jing around, why does he need other people's help?

"He is calm and patient." From a distance, Wang Zixian commented with a light smile, "The emotions and desires are completely invisible, or what we can see is just what he wants us to see. With him It is impossible for the heir king and the county king of the same age to have such a deep city, and such a temperament that is good at hiding. It reminds me of the group of old foxes dressed in purple in the court, each of which is not easy to deal with."

"I suddenly felt that he was somewhat similar to my uncle. People who value reputation above all else will eventually be easy-going and kind. Moreover, his preferences and nature are hidden deeper than anyone else." Li Hui said, "It's just Li De No matter how close you are, you may not know his true temperament. Perhaps, even he himself has forgotten what his real self should look like."

"The so-called great compassion may be indifferent in nature. Of course, it is more likely that his affection and meaning are only used on the people he loves." Wang Zixian continued, "The real Hejian County King is full of patience. Responsiveness, hypocrisy. Even if the fake king wants to imitate, it is absolutely impossible to do so naturally."

"So, I'm curious. In just a few days, how will the fake king replace the real king? With an excuse like falling ill?" Li Hui looked back and shook his head, "The same excuse cannot be used repeatedly. It's too dangerous to pretend to be ill for half a month, and Duke Hejian would not make such a poor choice."

"So, he will definitely avoid or merge differences." The prince offered, "After all, no one knows what kind of temperament the real Hejian County King should be. He just changes a little bit occasionally, as long as it is reasonable, it will naturally not cause confusion. There are many people who are suspicious. Even his son Li Ren may not know much about him. We might as well wait and see."

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, a banquet was held at the Palace of the Princess Linchuan.In order to avoid the two brothers Li Wei, King Hejian deliberately took Li Ren to arrive a little later.After greeting Princess Linchuan, she went straight to her son-in-law Zhou Ziwu.Helpless, Zhou Ziwu is a madman, he only likes wind, flowers, snow and moon, and he has nothing to say to a warrior like him, so he politely introduces their father and son into the clan clan without exchanging a few words, and discusses poetry with Pu Wang Li Tai with his own sleeves The song is gone.

King Hejian raised his eyes and saw that Li Wei's eyes lit up, as if he was about to come over to continue to "ask for advice", so he hurriedly took the initiative to talk to King Jing.King Jing is an elder, and King Lu sitting next to him is also an elder. Naturally, Li Wei couldn't step forward to interrupt them, so he had to leave after a while.Prince Hejian smiled slightly, and he didn't notice that the juniors in the corner seemed to be drinking and having fun, but they were still staring at him unobtrusively.

"As Zixian said, he has indeed started to avoid it." Li Hui said, "In order to avoid cousin Qianli from finding out the difference between the real king and the fake king, he would rather be given the name of selfishness. You also have to deliberately stay away from cousin Qianli. No way, he will create more suitable reasons for himself in the future, and continue to alienate those who try to get close to him but are not worthy of trust."

"Then what should we do? How to continue to investigate the truth?" Li Jing asked quickly.

"Since he intends to alienate you, you don't have to rush to get close, so as not to arouse suspicion." Li Hui said, "Just let it be, our brothers are not without temper, we are both heirs and county kings, so why post him What about the cold face? Besides, you can't test it, and there are naturally people who can test it." After finishing speaking, he looked at Qin Cheng who was on the side.

Qin Cheng nodded, got up and went to the banquet place for the female relatives in the back.After all, he is the son of Princess Qinghe, and he is also an unmarried man. Even if he walks a few steps casually, he is very popular among the female relatives.Let him remind a few words, Princess Changning and others have been impatient, and will naturally find a suitable opportunity to make a move.

"..." Li Jing thought for a moment, then persuaded seriously, "Brother, I've been wanting to say it for a long time... You also learned badly from Wang Zhiyuan. What effect can those small tricks have on Hejian County King? We dignified men, even if we want to test, we have to go into battle by ourselves."

The prince, who poured wine for himself, offered to listen, and immediately smiled without saying a word.

Li Hui squinted at him: "A real man doesn't stick to tricks. Besides, these small tricks in the inner house may not be useless. It's just a temptation, and there is no danger. If you really don't want Yue Niang and Huan Niang to participate , just talk to them yourself. If you can persuade them, I have no objection."

"...If I can convince them, do I need to talk to you brother?"

"It's good to understand."

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, there was a banquet at King Jing's mansion.Wang Zixian didn't get the invitation, so Li Hui took the princess to go alone.This time, King Hejian came very early. After exchanging polite greetings with King Jing, he followed King Jing's eldest son to visit the garden under the pretext of being interested in the palace garden.Li Hui, who had been staring at him for several days, moved his eyes slightly, and Li Xin, who was standing beside him, was also thoughtful.

"This is the person you saw for the first time? At a cursory glance, there are indeed not many flaws in his appearance and demeanor. But if you take a closer look, you can also find a lot of strange things. If a person who has been in the lower position all the year round, if you want to find out in a short period of time In a few days, pretending to be a superior person will definitely be unnatural."

"Brother is right. However, Prince Hejian is obviously well-trained. In less than ten days, this person has grown from six points to eight points. If I hadn't told brother, I suspect that King Hejian has So, brother, can you tell at a glance that he is actually someone else pretending to be?"

Li Xin was silent for a moment: "It's really impossible to think of it under the circumstances that he deliberately avoids. After all, I don't intend to get too close to him, so as not to be used by him." With the current status of Hejian County King, the Pu Palace can only Avoid him.If it wasn't on purpose, he would never pay so much attention to a distant enemy.

"After the nine-point resemblance, if no one noticed in advance, who else would be able to see the abnormality?—Zixian noticed it. Maybe it can only be said that this is God's will." Li Hui narrowed his eyes, "Let's try and test this fake king again. I want to know, he seems to be pretending to be good, and if he encounters an accident, how will he deal with it?"

This kind of temptation is a good time, naturally Li Wei should come forward.As for Li Jing, just in case, it's better to stay far away.Not long after, Li Wei, who was also strolling around the garden, "coincided" with King Hejian.He couldn't ask for advice yesterday, so he was naturally very enthusiastic today. He didn't care about other things, so he began to ask many questions about the use of troops that he had been thinking about recently.

For some relatively simple questions, King Hejian answered by telling his own battle examples.When he asked again, he began to avoid answering, and instead said: "Now we are visiting the garden. We are both guests, so we can't take the lead. As for the way of using troops, we will discuss how to do it next time." ?”

Naturally, Li Wei would not chase after him, and smiled slightly: "Brother Clan is right. Since we all came to see the garden of my uncle's house, Uncle Laotang continued. I heard that the garden of Prince Jing's mansion has been rebuilt in the past two years. Once, I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, so I should appreciate it."

So, the two went to the garden together, and encountered accidents such as naughty boys and reckless maids during the period.King Jing's eldest son had to apologize, and hurriedly sent them back to the outer courtyard.After the surrounding area returned to silence, not far away, Wang Xiangniang, who was quietly hiding in the rockery, covered her frozen red face, slowly retreated a few steps, and left silently under the cover of Princess Changning's maid.

In Prince Jing's mansion, of course, they can't follow their arrangements like Prince Pu's mansion and Princess Linchuan's mansion.However, it was worth it to suffer from the cold wind for an hour.Today's harvest is simply inspiring.Thinking of this, Wang Xiangniang's steps became much lighter.She can't wait to share it with Princess Changning and the others!

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, a grand princess had a banquet in the mansion. The king of Hejian County said that he was drunk and unwell, so he came late and left early.Because he looked a little pale, Li Xin, Li Wei and others were very considerate and asked him to go back to the house early to rest.Li Jing also volunteered to send him back home, but he declined naturally.

When he called Li Ren to leave, the young man stood up from Jiangxia County King, and couldn't help lowering his eyes, as if he was very reluctant to part.The Jiangxia County Dynasty nodded slightly before he walked out.At that moment, Prince Hejian, who still looked faintly loving, glanced at Prince Jiangxia, his expression seemed a little complicated.

Li Hui, who was on the sidelines, looked at Jiangxia Junwang and Li Ren, and his thoughts were also racing.
