Records of the King of Xin'an County

Maybe it was because of the double arrangement, or maybe it was because of the daily pick-up and drop-off, Li Qianniang never showed up again in the next few days.Although Wang Zixian seemed to have eliminated the danger of forced marriage, both of them tacitly never mentioned the matter of ending the pick-up.In this way, they can still see each other every day, riding side by side from Buzhengfang and slowly returning to Yankangfang, it is enough for them to talk about all kinds of interesting things that happened recently.Of course, they will also avoid the follow-up routines sent by Wang Ziling, and deliberately choose different routes to return home each time.

Occasionally, Li Hui would meet Li Qianniang at some unavoidable banquets.The raven temples are stacked, the jewelry on the head and face are as bright as stars, the makeup is exquisite and charming, and when the eight long skirts are lightly blown by the wind, the drape is flying like a fairy, which is still moving.Compared with when we first met, she is already different.It is clear that she still had the greenness and innocence of a cardamom girl before, but in just a few days, she has become a unique Chang'an noble lady.

As the only younger sister of Duke Xun Li Jue, Li Qianniang was quite the showman at the recent banquet.Her appearance is good, and her figure is more graceful than girls of the same age. In addition, she is a daughter of the clan, which has attracted the attention of many handsome young men.In addition, the daughters of those small clans also surrounded her, flattering her.

Countless dazzling riches and glitz, countless high-spirited praises and honors have never been experienced by this girl who grew up in the countryside of Qianzhou.She seemed to be slightly drunk, immersed in the satisfaction of being surrounded by so many people.When she looked at the children of the aristocratic family who had politely shown her goodwill, she did not forget to raise her chin towards Li Hui, as if in a demonstration, but also as if she was proud.

Li Hui smiled slightly, not taking her provocation to heart.He only hoped that she would enjoy this rich life and completely forget about Prince Xian.She may never know who owes her current life to him--and what kind of character his friend will become in decades, and what kind of person he will bring to the people around him surprise.

Not to mention decades later, just three years later, the first rank will shock the entire city of Chang'an.At that time, what should he do for him?What else can I do for him?If it was in the previous life, his grandfather had passed away long ago, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was busy seizing power from the old ministers, and by the way, completely eradicating his brother's threat, it was the most critical moment for King Pu's family.What else could he do besides self-protection?

Before Prince Xin'an could figure out how to act in the future, His Royal Highness Prince Pu had already achieved a phased "victory".Under his persevering "pleading" like "a milk swallow cast into the forest", the sage finally agreed to give King Sipu a real lack, to really let his grandchildren get in touch with political affairs.

His Majesty, who was over sixty years old, gathered all his children and grandchildren together, and looked at them lovingly: "Now our family is finally reunited, and we will temporarily stop doing things in the past. You four brothers, you only need to get along peacefully in the future." , I don't expect you to abandon the old grievances and support each other. However, good grandchildren are different from you unfilial sons. No matter what mistakes you make, you don't have to implicate them. "

It was said that the deposed prince Li Song, the Yue king Li Heng, the Pu king Li Tai and the prince Li Kun all fell to the ground: "The child is not filial..."

In just four words, Li Song was still very cold when he said it, Li Heng was extremely helpless, Li Tai felt a little ashamed rarely, and Li Kun seemed extraordinarily affectionate.Li Hui looked at them indiscriminately, smelling a hint of crisis from it, as if this illusion of peace was very likely to fall apart in the next moment.

Grandfather may not be ignorant in his heart-but at this moment, he is just a father, a grandfather.It is not the young king of Qin who killed decisively back then, the young emperor who ascended the throne after the blood-stained Xuanwu Gate, nor the famous Tian Khan who was supported by all clans, nor the eternal emperor who attracted countless ministers and nobles to open up a peaceful and prosperous age. .

"In a blink of an eye, my good grandchildren have grown so big." The saint patted his side, Li Xin, Li Wei and Li Jue were all slightly startled, and they didn't move. Only Li Hui walked over and sat down almost reflexively. by his side.The saint laughed with satisfaction, took him into his arms and patted him.

King Xin'an leaned in his grandfather's arms, feeling extremely ashamed in his heart for such a swift and incomparable reaction.He secretly made up his mind that he must show his mature side next time, but at the same time, he also felt that being able to entertain relatives in colorful clothes was a kind of filial piety, so he became more and more contradictory.

Seeing this, Li Jing hesitated slightly, picked up the two stubby little cousins ​​next to him, and leaned over stiffly with blushing faces.The saint even laughed loudly: "Good! Good! We should get closer between our grandparents and grandchildren!"

Li Song looked at the scene of grandparents and grandchildren embracing each other coldly, thinking of something, and seemed to be in a daze; Li Heng became more and more helpless, looked at Li Jing and shook his head, as if disapproving of his behavior; Li Tai laughed, like He felt that his youngest son was more and more likable; Li Kun looked at his two ignorant bastards, and then at his nephews who were already two handsome young men, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

"Not to mention Ah Hui and Ah Jing, Ah Xin, Ah Wei, and A Jue are all past the age of the crown." After the saint rubbed his grandson one by one, Fang Zheng said, "You should also get some practical advice. , come to help me and Goro. Maybe only if you all become officials, those bastards won’t think wildly, guess which grandson I like today, and which grandson I like tomorrow. Don’t even think about it carefully, the old grandfather likes to hurt Which grandson, what does it have to do with them?! However, I also know that the three of you have your own ideas. Tell me, what kind of official positions do you want?"

Li Xin was the oldest, so he replied: "Grandfather, my grandson has thought about it carefully, and I feel that I am very interested in people's livelihood, and I want to start from the order of a county. Grandfather and uncle share worries." He ignored Li Tai's wink, and almost made His Royal Highness King Pu jump up from his seat—what kind of magistrate is he, the majestic heir of King Pu?At least it should be Yizhou Biejia, Changshi or Sima!At least one must be an official of the fifth rank serving Scarlet!

Of course, the sage did not miss his fat and strong son's glaring look, and laughed: "Look at your grandpa, I love you so much! I don't want to wrong my grandson and let you go to some remote place to be a county magistrate. Fifth grade Don’t there be county magistrates?” Wupin county magistrates are the four county magistrates in the two capitals—Chang’an County and Wannian County in Chang’an, Henan County and Luoyang County in Luoyang.Due to its special status, the county magistrate is comparable to Shangzhou Biejia outside Beijing, and it is also the most difficult county magistrate within the territory of the Tang Dynasty to perform his duties.

The so-called most difficult to perform their duties is nothing more than the fact that there are many high-ranking official families and clan children in the two capitals. If they know the law and break the law, it will be difficult to deal with them according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty and give them the restraint and punishment they deserve.However, as the Sipu king, Li Xin is the most suitable in such a position.No matter what kind of aristocratic family, they can't help but show some face to this golden branch and jade leaf backed by a saint.

"Since it's your first time as a county magistrate, it's not good to just let you go to Luoyang, so you can stay in Chang'an. Whether it's Wannian County or Chang'an County, we will always make room for you as soon as possible. In this way, you young couple don't have to Separate, guard Shuangniang well, and add a few more great-grandchildren to me!"

"Grandson thanked grandfather for his grace!" Li Xin was overjoyed, and immediately bowed to thank him.

Li Wei immediately said: "Grandfather, grandson is not as elegant as his cousins. He has always liked to play with knives and guns! If there is a chance, grandson wants to go to the frontier as the captain of Guoyi, gallop the battlefield, and expand the territory for grandfather !" He and his brother Li Jing loved the art of war and martial arts since they were young. In their spare time, they went out to Beijing to hunt and played polo.

The sage laughed: "It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! It's a pity that the frontier has been peaceful for a few years now, and there are no wars for you to try for the time being. Besides, why are you willing to go through life and death? Well, you Since I want to join the army, I don’t need a thousand oxen to trap you. First go to the Jinwu Guard as Captain Guoyi, so that I can learn how to train troops, and then I’ll talk about guarding the frontier later.”

"Grandson thanked grandfather for his kindness!" Li Wei was also very excited, which made Li Jing quite jealous, and hesitated to speak several times.

Li Jue thought for a while, but said: "Grandfather, my grandson is not interested in people's livelihood and military affairs, but just likes reading. My grandson wants...to go to the Secretary's Office." It can be said that it is the most leisurely yamen in the imperial court, and it is also the most boring yamen.But for those who love to read, the vast collection of classics and documents is enough to immerse them in it all day long.

Li Hui didn't know whether Li Jue really wanted to go to the secretary prison, or just wanted to retreat from the center of power—in any case, he admired this decision very much.So he suddenly laughed and joked, "Did cousin Jue go to the secretary prison to study, or to get close to his future father-in-law?" Li Jue's father-in-law, An Shouyuan, was one of the young secretary prisons.

Li Jue was startled, and his face turned red instantly.Seeing this, the sage laughed loudly: "No matter why Ah Jue wants to go to the secretary's prison, I will give you a secretary to do it. Read with An Shouyuan carefully, or follow him to sort out those classics, It might come in handy in the future!"

"Grandson thanked grandfather." Li Jue bowed his head, raised his eyes and gave Li Hui a non-threatening wink.

Li Hui pretended not to notice, but the sage saw it, and couldn't hide his joy: "A Hui, don't just tease your cousin. Although you and A Jing are young, you should think about what you will do in the future. It doesn’t matter if you study literature or martial arts, or even take a break. As long as you reach the crown, I will let you do it!”

Li Hui immediately replied: "Didn't it mean to start a family first and then start a career? My grandson has never thought about such a thing. Besides, what can my grandson do now that he can't write well? Only with the teaching of his grandfather, Only when you become as talented as your elder brothers can you stand up and share grandfather's worries."

"You think very clearly. Whether you are studying or practicing martial arts, don't slack off. If you have free time, I will also guide you." As he said, the sage said earnestly: "It's very easy for you brothers like you are now. Yes, you must cherish this kind of brotherhood. Not only can you share my worries, but you can also share your uncle's worries in the future."

"Don't worry, grandpa." Everyone agreed in unison.

In the end, the sage personally took the words for Li Xin and the others, and planned to officially crown their brothers on a certain day.Li Xin, the king of Sipu, was named Boyue; Li Wei, the king of Siyue, was named Qianli; Li Jue, the Duke of Xun, was named Jueqing.The king of Xin'an County and the king of Tianshui County were very envious, and they both wanted to write, but the saint just smiled and didn't say anything, and didn't satisfy the wishes of the two grandchildren.
