Records of the King of Xin'an County

The two of them have been quite busy recently, and because of the national mourning, the daily pick-up and drop-off were cut off, so the time spent together is actually not much.Even so, it does not prevent them from caring for each other, talking and laughing happily.Li Hui mentioned that the heavy nine-meter brocade cake that Wang Zixian specially asked Cao Silang to send was delicious. As for the chrysanthemum wine cake, they couldn't enjoy it for the time being, so they distributed it to Fuzhong Changshi, Jialing, and Dianjun, who all said it was quite delicious.And Wang Zixian also tasted the dogwood and chrysanthemum cake sent by Li Hui. He never liked sweets, but he felt that the combination of sweet and spicy had a special meaning.

"As for the chrysanthemum wine, I'll store it first, and it won't be too late to take it out when you and I can drink it." The prince offered, "Besides, I saw grapes growing in the vine garden, so I went to the Hu merchants on the right. I bought a method for brewing wine from the Western Regions. If you have free time these days, you can try to make wine.”

Li Hui smiled slightly: "It seems that your career has been going well recently, so you have such a leisurely mood. In this way, I can feel relieved." He never specifically asked Wang Zixian about his life in Guozixue No matter what the result of the school examination, it is because he believes that with the ability of a good friend, he will definitely be able to win the appreciation of the school officials and make corresponding contacts.Of course, connections belong to connections, and the friendship between the two of them is different after all.

Hearing this, Wang Zixian raised the corners of his lips: "Your Majesty really knows me very well. That's true. From now on, I don't need to go to the Imperial Academy anymore. The Doctor of Imperial Studies has recommended me to continue my studies in the Imperial Academy." He I don't worry about my studies after entering the Imperial College, let alone that I won't be appreciated by the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine and department.After all, these academic officials are considered gentlemen, and they always have some respect for outstanding students.

However, if there is no good gentleman in the Imperial College who he can admire, then he will have to plan for his own good life and visit around carefully.Of course, no matter what, he was unwilling to be a fellow apprentice with that Yang Zhuantou.The Yang family is really not worth his troubles, and it is of no benefit to him to get close to them, on the contrary, it may be a big drag in the future.As for Wang Ziling and Wang Zimu, they can give it a try, success or failure depends on their own abilities.With their current dispositions, even if they are influenced by their husband or senior fellow apprentices, they will definitely not change much in the future.They are young and have no background behind them, so the direct descendants of the Yang family should also look down on them.

Li Hui's eyes lit up, and he was happy for him: "This is really good news. There are more knowledgeable people in the Imperial College. If you can get their advice, you will definitely make more progress. It is just around the corner to get the first prize." Why don't you take me to the Imperial Academy some other day? You can also teach me what is the difference between the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy."

Wang Zixian nodded with a smile: "When will Your Majesty be free? Wang is always available to accompany you."

"It's better just in these two days." Li Hui replied, "When the time comes, I will go directly to the gate of the Imperial College, and you will introduce me. I will not be allowed to go in and have a tour?" The Imperial College is actually not a school, but a school. It is the yamen that manages the six schools and the two halls, as well as the academic affairs of the states and states.Although there must be idlers in the yamen who are not allowed to come in and out at will, but with his status as the king of Xin'an County, it should be considered no problem.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Li Huifang talked about the business: "Zixian also knows that our family originally returned to Chang'an to take care of my grandmother's illness. Now that my grandmother has passed away, and my grandfather is not in good health. He was reluctant to let us go back to Junzhou—even if he asked us to go back, we would not be able to rest assured. It is indeed a good thing to serve my grandfather, and I am also very grateful to have this opportunity to be filial. However, the longer we stay in Chang'an, It becomes more and more dangerous."

As he said that, he smiled helplessly: "Just the successive assassination cases are enough to prove that there are indeed murderous threats all around us. Of course we can't just sit idly by, we have to be careful. But the guards frequently used in Prince Pu's Mansion are all watched by others." It is very tight, and I dare not act rashly, so as not to make people think too much. In this way, Prince Pu's Mansion will inevitably fall behind in every way. I thought, quietly bring those young and unknown trilogy in the fief Come to Beijing."

"If these parts are with me or brother, people will know about them soon, and it will be difficult to use them. If you let them all follow you and listen to you, you will have more people at your disposal. People. A few days ago, the inspection was not good, isn’t it because there were few people? In the future, when there are more people, it will be easier to do things, right?”

Prince Xian was stunned, he never expected that he would hand over all the private power of Prince Pu's mansion to him—so frank and trusting, it made him feel a little heavy in his heart, but then he was very happy.So, he couldn't help smiling more and more warmly: "Your Majesty believes in me so much, of course I will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations. In fact, two days ago, I just used the people I kept in Shangzhou. Although there are not many people , but everything has already been arranged. Since the status is not high, it is easier to get close to the Xu family and Li Qianniang, so I asked them to start with Xu's eldest son."

"It caused you to take out all the people who were hiding with great difficulty. However, moving them to Chang'an, wouldn't it affect the situation in your family?"

"Is your majesty so distrustful of my ability?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, naturally they knew it was just a little joke.Facing Li Hui's clear gaze, Wang Zixian suddenly felt a little hesitant in his heart, wondering if he should tell the whole story of his purpose and means of approaching the Xu family and Li Qianniang.Because, he suddenly discovered that the reason why he was hesitant was not that he didn't trust Li Hui enough, but that he was worried that the other party felt that his plan was upright and alienated or even hated him.

He made friends with Li Hui with the image of a gentleman, and he was always elegant and calm in front of him. At most, he also had a decisive and heroic side, but he never exposed the darkness in his heart.Langya Wang's son was supposed to be a gentleman with a jade tree facing the wind, not someone with deep thoughts, so he has been hiding a part of his true self behind the mask, and he doesn't want anyone to see it.Anyone should not have included Li Hui.But at this moment, he was full of hesitation——

Once a best friend knows that he is a scheming hypocrite, will he still treat him as before?

The same is true of the first acquaintance.He didn't dare to say clearly, maybe it was to keep the family at the beginning, but the reason now is quite different.With Li Hui's temperament, after he explained clearly, it should be impossible to vent his anger on others.But he was worried that he might have misunderstood him, thinking that all his schemes were just to deceive them with clever words, and to protect himself.No matter how much he argues that the current friendship is true, the falsehood at the moment of acquaintance cannot be changed.

Because of the fear of losing, I dare not speak, cannot speak.But my heart was faintly restless, and I always felt that if I was not honest with each other, there would be misunderstandings in the future.However, even so, he still didn't have the courage to confess—because he couldn't bear the consequences of losing.

Wang Zixian couldn't clearly distinguish whether his mood of worrying about gains and losses was good or bad.He just instinctively wants to keep the person who treats him best in this world by his side.For a moment, he even firmly believed that he would not lose him if he would not let his close friend know the darkness and indifference in his heart, and not let him know that the acquaintance was all calculated by him at the beginning, and that he would always maintain the appearance of an elegant son of a family.

"Zixian?" Seeing that he was in a daze, Li Hui called him several times, "What did you think of? Are you a little dazed?"

"Nothing." Wang Zixian suddenly came back to his senses, and smiled, "In short, if there is any progress in the future, I will definitely inform the king as soon as possible."

"It's up to you. Speaking of which, I have always called you by your name Zixian, but you have always respected me as the king. It is too unfamiliar." Li Hui suddenly said, "It is understandable to call me like this in front of others. But when you and I get along in private, there is no need to do this. It doesn’t matter whether you call me Saburo or A Hui. It may be a little uncomfortable to call each other names. When you and I have words in the future, we can use words to match each other.” It's very important, but he understands a little bit, Li Jing's mentality when he was full of envy and jealousy towards his brothers.

Wang Zixian moved his eyes lightly, and called out in a low and hoarse voice: "...A Hui." Finally he was able to call out openly, and this title had already circled in his heart for countless times.

Li Hui responded with a smile.

"A Hui."

"What's the matter?"

"I just want to get used to the new name, A Hui."

"..." Prince Xin'an was speechless for a moment.He never thought that his friends would actually use his title to make fun of him, so he had to accept it.

The two continued laughing and chatting for a long time, and Fang stood up unsatisfied.Just as Wang Zixian was about to cross his hands as a farewell salute, he looked up at the moonlight: "I didn't notice the sound of the drums just now, it should be the curfew. A Hui, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to Prince Pu's mansion tonight. Why don't you stay in the palace?" In the vine garden?"

"It doesn't matter." Li Hui said, "They have been cleaning very carefully, and they can stay at any time. Why don't you stay here too? We haven't slept in bed for some time, and it's rare to have this good opportunity. Even if you stay overnight If they don’t return, they won’t know about it if they go back in the morning.” After all, the secret door that the prince offered to go to and from the Vine Garden was newly opened later, and it was in his bedroom, which was very convenient.

"Alright." Wang Zixian agreed.

After a brief bath, the two stayed in the main room in the inner courtyard of the rattan garden.Speaking carefully, although it has been nearly half a year since I bought the rattan garden, it was the first time for Li Huishang to spend the night here, let alone Wang Zixian.It was also because Li Dasheng, the steward, was meticulous and considerate, he arranged the dormitory just like the bedroom in Prince Pu's mansion, and it was not much different from the dormitory in the fiefdom of Junzhou.Li Hui lay on the bed, feeling very comfortable and comfortable.

Wang Zixian lay on his side in a regular manner, listening to his gentle breathing, but he never felt sleepy for a long time.

In the silence, Li Hui suddenly asked: "Zixian, what kind of life do you want to live in the future? Wealth and glory? Carefree?"

Wang Zixian was silent for a long while before Fang replied: "... I once thought about being rich and honored. Only because of the glory and glory can I break free from my family and no longer be restrained by them. But when I think about it carefully, I just don't want to be restrained by them That's all, I just want everyone to recognize that my prince is offering this person, and wealth and glory may not be what I really want. In any case... if you are accompanied by your best friend, A Hui, I feel comfortable and at ease—how about you?"

"I already have wealth and glory, but I can't be at ease." Li Hui smiled wryly, "I only hope that one can protect my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, and let them live in peace; It's like being imprisoned... At that time, I have to separate from you, and it will be difficult to meet again."

"A Hui, don't worry, as long as we plan slowly and do our best, we will surely realize what we want." In the darkness, no one noticed that the young man's eyes seemed to be ignited with light, firm and deep.

"I hope so." The other boy sighed softly—the most important thing in his life is to protect his family and let them live in peace.As for my own hopes, they are second to none.Perhaps, when making a choice, there must be gains and losses, and he can only accept it calmly.
