Records of the King of Xin'an County

On the night of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the curfew was still lifted, but the lights were no longer as brilliant as the previous two days.

Originally, many high-ranking officials and aristocratic families set up lamphouses, trees, and lighthouses in front of Miyagi, in the name of having fun with the people. In fact, they used this to compete for splendor and show off their aura of wealth.However, after the Hejian County King's rebellion, in order to avoid touching the saint's rebellion, they immediately ordered people to remove it silently, so that the scenery of the last lantern viewing night was unknowingly inferior. a bit.

The carriage of Xin'an County Prince's Mansion stopped by the outer wall of the palace city. Li Hui lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the people singing under the lonely lamp wheel.The singing and dancing attracted many lantern watchers, and more and more people joined in, forming several circles.This is not difficult to understand, no matter how the situation in the court changes suddenly, Shengzhou is too far away from Chang'an after all.The rebellion of a clan king thousands of miles away has nothing to do with the lives of ordinary people.

Remembering that he copied the scriptures on his knees for a day, and that he only used some meat soup before leaving the mansion, Wang Zixian got out of the car to buy some freshly fried burnt dumplings (deep-fried yuanxiao) and noodle cocoons, and ordered clear soup Hoto.Eating only fried food is unavoidably too greasy, so it is a way to keep in good health with some soup.

Smelling the aroma of food, Li Hui really felt hungry.Although they are just roadside snacks, they are not as ingenious as the cooks in the palace, but they are fresh and warm.After drinking the boiling clear soup Houtou, the limbs and bones seemed to gradually warm up.Coupled with the fried brown and crispy cocoons and noodle cocoons, it has everything from sweet to salty, which is quite satisfying.

After eating and drinking, Li Hui originally wanted to get off the car with the prince to watch the lanterns, but in a short while, accompanied by the warmth, he felt sleepy.He simply stopped struggling and insisted on getting up and watching the lanterns, and fell asleep on Prince Xian's lap with peace of mind.Before he fell asleep completely, he vaguely thought: Sure enough, sleeping with knees bent is comfortable and safe, no less than sleeping with pillows and hugging each other.

Wang Zixian also remembered the scene this morning, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and stared at him with downcast eyes.The wound on his body was still aching, but just looking at the person sleeping peacefully on his lap, he could ignore all the discomfort, and he could only feel satisfied.As for the others—whether it's the eldest brother or something in the court, it's not too late to think about the solution together after he wakes up.

On the eve of dawn, the Chang Dynasty is about to begin.The important ministers in the Zichen Palace suddenly discovered that many clan kings and son-in-laws who were not usually in the court had appeared one after another.Even King Jing, who had been complaining about his illness, and King Lu, who was focused on Qian's eyes, were not late, and stood at the head of a group of clans.King Pu Li Tai stood behind them with sleepy eyes, and further down were King Sipu, King Siyue, and the princes of various counties.

It is strange that King Yong'an is not there.Of course, many well-informed people have already learned that the king of Yong'an County and his son entered the palace to have an audience yesterday afternoon.However, no one knows why they met them, and why the sage gave them a lot of things afterwards.As a result, everyone speculated that the most likely reason was the rebellion.After all, the most useful veteran in the clan is Prince Yong'an, and he is a senior elder, so it is most appropriate to go out to fight against Prince Hejian.

Li Wei also discussed the matter with Li Xin in a low voice, but found that his cousin seemed to be a little distracted, and glanced at his cousin Li Hui behind him from time to time.Li Hui remained calm as usual, comforting Li Jing, who was gearing up and ready to move. The King of Yong'an's expedition meant that he could also go with him and lead the army to fight. Wouldn't he feel extremely excited?

For some reason, Li Wei suddenly envied the two of them.As an elder brother, he seems to always have more concerns than his younger brothers, and his identity is more sensitive than theirs.The cousin's intelligence is naturally no less than that of the cousin, but it is still difficult to get the reuse of his uncle.And why is his overall ability lower than that of brother?But never had the chance to go to the battlefield.

Li Xin noticed that he was also a little distracted, and immediately withdrew his gaze, subtly reminding him to pay attention to the surrounding situation.Li Wei's mood was still a little depressed, and Fang slightly relaxed after inadvertently looking at Shangjiangxia County King with a smile, and sighed softly: "I don't know if there is anyone in this world who really thinks very hard."

Li Xin heard what he meant, and replied: "It's just been a few years, it's really hard to judge whether it's true or not. Only after decades of life and death can we really judge whether it's true or not. Human nature." The words seemed to be responding to him, but out of the corner of his eyes, he looked at the youngest person among the imperial courtiers, full of complicated meanings.

Not long after, the saint arrived, his expression seemed as calm as usual.After scanning the ministers, he said slowly: "Xuan." Then the supervisor in the palace sang loudly: "Xuan Yong'an County King and His Royal Highness have an audience!!"

Under everyone's thoughtful gazes, Duke Yong'an strode in with a bloody man in one hand.Almost everyone was stunned, and it was hard to recognize who was in his hands. Then he threw the two people aside, knelt down and kowtowed: "The old minister has no way to teach his sons, and found that the two sons who are not up to date are very serious." There is a possibility of collusion with the horse thief under the traitor, so I came here to plead guilty to the saint!!"

"..." Li Hui looked at the old man with complicated eyes, not knowing whether to admire his strong man's heart, or to understand the saint's intention of killing chickens and monkeys.How many people face this kind of situation, can still make a decision?Among the entire clan, Prince Yong'an is probably the elder who is most able to teach his children and grandchildren, and it is true that those with deep selfishness should open their eyes wide and take a look at what true loyalty is.

The expressions of the rest of the clans are also different: there are those who think deeply about their unworthy son—such as King Jing; those who are frightened by the bloody two people—such as King Lu; ——such as Pu Wang; there are those who are pale and trembling with fright—such as the king of Jiangxia County.As for Si Pu Wang and other four cousins, they seemed much calmer, as if they had hidden their touch deep in their hearts.

"Uncle Clan has always understood righteousness, I am very pleased." The saint said.His eyes turned around the clansmen, as if there was a sharp blade hidden in the gentleness, the sharpness was only revealed for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.However, the chill at that moment was always engraved in the hearts of everyone, and it never faded for a long time.

"The horse thieves under the rebels are vicious and vicious people. If it weren't for the soldiers who have experienced fighting in the town, it would be difficult to become their opponents. I am determined to recruit Shazhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Liangzhou, Lingzhou, etc. If there are not enough government soldiers in the land, they will be filled by Taoist soldiers in Guannei. A total of 15 people will be used as the West Road. Order troops early and get ready."

"The old minister complies with the order, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" The Prince of Yong'an County, who had received many rewards, was always solemn, and retired with the silent eldest son.Before turning around, he squinted at Li Jing, the king of Tianshui County, who couldn't help but want to jump out, and said generously: "The saint also promised the old minister before that Jing Xing would follow the old minister to Shazhou for experience. Can we go together?"

"Let's go." Naturally, the saint would not take back his golden words, and said in a gentle voice, "Jing Xing will be handed over to Uncle Clan."

The king of Yong'an then led his son and Li Jing to retreat.As for the two bloody sons, they were thrown into Zichen Palace by him.Li Hui looked at their chests and found that they were still slightly undulating, so he was a little relieved-although the crime of colluding with the rebels is unforgivable, and it is also a proper thing to be a father and son, but if someone is killed, it will inevitably be given to them. The shadow left by the old man will also affect the perception of him by the censors.

"The Royal Medicine Bureau sent an imperial doctor to treat them both." The saint continued, "After the injuries have stabilized, the two will be handed over to Uncle Jing. Make sure they confess to the horse thieves who have been fighting for years. to help the army formulate a strategy to destroy the enemy." As Zong Zhengqing, King Jing had not asked any questions for a long time, and all relevant matters were handed over to Zong Zheng Shaoqing, King Xin'an.Unexpectedly, the sage once again reused King Jing for this big treason event.

Even King Jing seemed quite surprised, and immediately went out to obey the order.Even if there were many people's eyes, they looked at Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, and his elder brother and father very vaguely.However, the expressions of the father and son have not changed at all, and it is impossible to find any flaws.

The sage then announced that government soldiers from Xiazhou, Shuozhou, Yanzhou, Fenzhou and other places would be recruited, supplemented by Guannei Daofu soldiers. .The states to the east of Yunzhou and other places recruited government soldiers to supplement Hebei Dao government soldiers. A total of 15 people were assigned to the East Road.

The candidates were all agreed on the night before, and there was no change.Li Hui's heart relaxed slightly, but he remained calm.Just when all the ministers thought that King Pu's lineage was suspected of falling out of favor, the sage left the three of them, father and son, and Li Wei to have lunch together.Later, an imperial decree came out from the palace, granting Sipu King Li Xin the household servant, and Siyue king Li Wei the military servant, and the two were jointly responsible for the food and grass for the suppression of the rebellion.

As for Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, the saint understands his newlyweds, and for the time being, he only participates in important matters and is not responsible for specific affairs.But even so, in the next two or three days, he was frequently called into the palace.And Li Xin, who was too busy to touch the ground, couldn't care less about dealing with his personal affair with Wang Zixian. After thinking about it, he had to quietly report to Princess Pu Yan Shi, asking her to come forward to persuade her.

For some unknown reason, Yan Shi silently took Mrs. Zhang to the Prince's Mansion of Xin'an County to live temporarily.Li Xin finally felt more at ease, and immediately devoted himself to the important matter of preparing food and grass.

As everyone knows, the Prince's Mansion of Xin'an County has once again returned to harmony.In the name of praying for blessings, Du Jialan, the princess of the county, became a vegetarian at home and chanted scriptures, and returned all the family affairs to Zhang Fumu.In desperation, Zhang Fu's mother had no choice but to take on the important task again - the first important task was to "send" Li Xin to the prince's beautiful maidservants, all rushed to the Wang family's courtyard, completely out of sight.As for how the old mother of the Wang family, A Nuo, will train them, that is another matter.
