Records of the King of Xin'an County

In the majestic Yinyi Hall, the gray-haired sage held the memorial tightly, and his eyes, which were a little dazed, suddenly burst into flames of anger: "How dare a mere bandit harm my son?! It's like eating me!" Bear heart and leopard courage!! What are the governors of Shangzhou and the governors doing? Why don’t you quickly arrest and kill all the sinners who committed treason?! Poor my son, why have I ever been wronged like this?!” He personally expelled him from Chang'an, King Pu was still his most cherished son, of course he would not see his beloved son suffer any harm.

In a fit of rage, he even kicked over the imperial case.Pens, inks, papers and inkstones and memorials were scattered all over the place in a mess.Many of the notebooks were stained with ink, and the servants who were waiting by the side hurriedly knelt down to clean them up.The sage took a few deep breaths under the consolation of his confidant and servant, and Fang whispered: "Call the crown prince and King Sipu!"

When His Royal Highness Li Kun and Sipu King Li Xin arrived in a hurry, the saint was still depressed and angry.The two read the memorial at a glance, and immediately proposed to go out of Beijing to meet elder brother (grandfather) by coincidence.Seeing the friendship between their siblings and father and son, the saint's anger also dropped a lot: "You guys think of going together."

The prince smiled slightly, with a look of nostalgia on his face: "Speaking of which, my third brother and I have not seen each other for nearly 14 years. If you seize this opportunity, you can see your third brother earlier than Grandpa, and see if he is still the same as before. ——" From his words, one could not hear the slightest disdain and contempt that King Pu had for him when he seized the throne, as if there was only a strong brotherhood left.

"How could uncle compete with me for this job?" Li Xin's expression added a bit of vividness, "We haven't seen each other for many years, so I don't know if grandpa can recognize me. And Ahui, since he was born After that, I have never seen him, and I am really curious about what he looks like, and whether he is very similar to Grandpa."

Such a tender scene quickly turned the saint's anger into joy.He chuckled, pointed at the two of them and said, "You are vying for the chance to leave Beijing, and you should all get what you want. It's a pity that government affairs cannot be separated from Wulang, so let Ah Xin go. Wulang doesn't need to be disappointed. , Saburo should be able to stay in Beijing for a while, and you brothers can also have a good reunion."

"Grandpa might as well issue another edict to order the governor of Shangzhou and the governor to investigate this matter immediately, and we must catch all the culprits." The prince said again, with a gentle voice, and his thoughts were extremely appropriate and thoughtful, "Ah Xin also needs to take more care." These people will go on the road immediately, and bring the third brother, third sister-in-law and A Hui back to Beijing safely. I remember that the third brother has not been in good health these years, so you might as well arrange an imperial physician to accompany you."

After hearing this, the sage was very pleased and sighed: "It's hard for you to miss him all the time."

Li Xin also showed gratitude, and saluted, "Thank you uncle for reminding me. If it wasn't for uncle, I would never have thought of this."

The emperor's anger just disappeared into nothingness.The next day, Sipu King Li Xin left Chang'an with hundreds of people to meet Pu Wang.However, King Pu was expelled from Chang'an after failing to seize the heir apparent. Many courtiers agreed that he rushed back to Beijing to serve Empress Qin, but they were quite critical of such a big fanfare.Unavoidably, there are also some people who are suspicious, secretly speculating whether the sage's move has any deep meaning, and whether King Pu will have any unreasonable ambitions because of this.

Before these numerous rumors annoyed the sage again, His Highness the Crown Prince clearly explained: It is the filial piety of a son of man to be greeted by King Sipu, which is beyond reproach.The ministers didn't say much on the surface, but whether they accepted this explanation secretly was different.

On the other side, King Pu's family stayed in Lingbei Station for only one day, and received many gifts from the county magistrate and Captain Zhechong, intended to shock them.Both of these two were obviously born in a family of officials and officials, and the gifts they sent over were expensive and elegant, mostly calligraphy and painting, or more expensive ancestral postcards.Obviously, they did this to suit their preferences, intending to please Pu Wang and his wife through the offensive of gifts.

Li Tai and Yan Shi loved calligraphy and painting very much, so naturally they happily accepted them for appreciation.Although they still had some grievances in their hearts, they didn't take their anger out on them. After receiving the gift, they were even more lazy to bring up the bandits.Coupled with Li Hui's mediation among them, urging them to arrest the gangsters as soon as possible and pay off their crimes, the two local snakes felt much more at ease.

Seeing that Li Hui was busy, Wang Zixian didn't want to disturb each other.However, in order to fulfill his promise, the king of Xiaojun took the time to draw a picture scroll of Qinling in the rain with him.

The picture scrolls that have not had time to be mounted are packed in painted wooden tubes with phoenix and bird patterns that usually hold book scrolls.Wang Zixian held the wooden barrel, and could still feel the residual heat on it.He raised his eyes and looked deeply at the young man standing in front of him, as if he had never seen him before, and seemed to want to engrave him in his mind.

"Open it and have a look?" Li Hui smiled and said, "I wonder if you can tell?"

Wang Zixian slowly unfolded the picture scroll, just glanced at it, and said with a smile: "This is the day when we climbed to the top of the mountain next to the posthouse, and what we saw was the misty, ethereal and fairy-like mountain scenery..." He still remembered that at that time The man opened his eyes wide in amazement.It was as if what I saw that day was the most touching scene in the world.In fact, he wanted to tell him at that time that in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there were many such shocking beauties.However, after thinking about it at that time, as the son of King Pu, he probably will never be free for the rest of his life, so why bother to say these things?

Up to now, an unbearable urge suddenly surged in his heart, wanting to ask him to go out together in the future, to see all the wonderful rivers and mountains——

Li Hui continued: "Speaking of which, you should go all the way north, back to Shangzhou, right? We're going to turn northwest and go straight back to Chang'an."

Wang Zixian was stunned, and the inexplicable twitching in his heart suddenly disappeared.He couldn't even help laughing at himself, could it be that he really regarded the other party as a friend?From the first time we met, and even the many twists and turns during the period, almost all of them were designed and guided by him.It's just a relationship of taking advantage, and there is no fate at all, let alone the difference between "friends of gentlemen" and "friends of villains". "Acquainted with friends"?Heh, if the other party knows the truth of all this, they will definitely turn around and leave, there is no need to mention circumcision.

However, it was such a journey full of calculations, why did he really feel comfortable and happy?Why do they faintly have unrealistic fantasies, I hope that this journey together can be longer, longer... I even hope that they will have the opportunity to walk together...

It was clear that he knew very well that they would be separated soon, and they might never see each other again.Why is there an uncontrollable sense of loss and loss in the depths of my heart?Even he had already thought about what to look like and what to say at this moment of parting, and he was completely unwilling to use it at this moment.

But what could he say without those false words?

"Originally, I wanted to go to Shangzhou City with you to have a look, but now I probably can't do it for the time being." Li Hui felt uncomfortable when he saw that he couldn't hide his depression.However, he claims to be old, so of course he can only act more prudently at this time: "However, we can still exchange letters at any time. Where does your family live in Shangzhou? I will send someone to deliver letters to you regularly. You don't Don't forget, you can come to Chang'an to find me anytime."

Wang Zixian carefully put away the scroll, and after a moment of silence, Fang replied: "I have a small house with two entrances in Xianchengfang, Shangzhou. Whether it is letters or other things, they can be sent there." ", maybe this fate can continue.It's just that you have to be careful not to let those relatives who seem to have gangrene find out.

Li Hui realized that he hadn't mentioned the old house of the Wang family, so there must be something hidden in the house.However, as a friend, it was inconvenient for him to ask in detail, so he could only say: "No matter when you come to Chang'an, remember to look for me at Prince Pu's Mansion in Yankang Fang."

"Okay." Wang Zixian solemnly agreed.

The next day, the rainy days finally came to an end, and the long-lost sun shone on the earth.The wet post road gradually became dry, and King Pu and his party finally arrived at the Lingbei post through the collapsed canyon.Li Tai didn't want to wait any longer, and immediately ordered everyone to prepare to leave.The servants and maidservants were busy and packed up immediately, and after a while they walked out slowly, surrounded by King Pu and Princess Wang who were riding on the eaves.At the gate of the post house, Li Hui boarded the ox cart with his parents, and got on his horse.

Holding the reins of the horse, he looked back at Wang Zixian standing at the gate of the posthouse, and bowed his hands to him: "Zi Xian, see you again by fate!"

"Goodbye!" The prince returned with a more respectful cross-hand salute, and then watched him gallop away.The young man's relentless figure gradually disappeared from sight, and he looked at the end of the post road from a distance, without speaking for a long time.The old servant Qingsou behind him was silent for a while, his voice hoarse: "Ah Lang planned to take the Jinshi examination, why not go to Beijing earlier? The king of the small county will have to stay in Beijing for three to five months, and we just happened to visit Chang'an together."

"At this time to enter Beijing for the Jinshi examination?" Wang Zixian laughed in a low voice, "Even if they are willing to let me go, I will not pass the examination."

"Who doesn't take the exam every year? How many people can pass the exam in one fell swoop? Besides, thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi. A Lang is only fourteen, and he will still be a 'little Jinshi' after another ten or twenty years."

"Instead of staying in Chang'an to study hard and take the exam, it's better to go around to increase your knowledge." Wang Zixian shook his head, "Walking around, so that they won't attract their attention. Only my good second brother wants to take the exam. Only then will I have the opportunity to enter Chang'an in a fair and honest manner. Otherwise, my good mother would rather send people pretending to be robbers to kill me over and over again than let me step into Chang'an city." He said How could a kind and cruel stepmother and aunt tolerate her being better than her own son?

Of course, if he insisted on going to Chang'an first, it was not impossible.As long as those stalkers are completely shaken off, no one can stop him, and he cannot go anywhere.However, he didn't sort out his thoughts, and he was a little confused about how he should interact with Li Hui in the future, so he simply put this "friendship" full of calculations aside for now.Moreover, the three members of King Pu's family went to Chang'an to serve the sick, so they might not be able to stay for long.Instead of going to Chang'an to look for him, it might be more comfortable to go to Junzhou to look for him in the future.

Seeing that he had already made up his mind, Qingsou stopped talking and turned around to lead his horse from the stable.

The prince rewarded Zhuoyi and Yiding a few coins, and made an agreement with Captain Guoyi of Zhechong Mansion that if those "robbers" were caught, he would send him some news in time.Captain Na Guoyi knew that he had a good relationship with the King of Xin'an, so of course he did not hesitate to do this kind of favor, and readily agreed: "It is human nature for Wang Langjun to worry about the little county king."

"Thank you, Chen Guoyi." Wang Zixian didn't say much, after a slight smile, he got on his horse and left.

The author has something to say: Although many relatives already know about it, I still have to say that in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was held once a year. The number of people admitted is not large, and the number of people admitted is also small. It is said that there are still some subjects where none of them can be admitted →→... The Tang Dynasty is superimposed, and the imperial examination follows the rules of the Datang Dynasty.

In addition, although many relatives know who I am writing about, I still kindly changed their names... According to the naming principle of Feitai (His Royal Highness Pu Wang: QAQ), they have five sons and three daughters in their life. A total of eight children's papers (sorry, actually Erfeng has a lot of children, too many people can not all appear~~~).

Boss: Li Song, a commoner (the eldest son, the abolished prince)

Second child: Li Heng, King of Yue

The third child: King Pu Li Tai (the first son)

Eldest Daughter: Princess Linchuan

The fourth child: Huai Wang Li Hua (died early)

Second daughter: Princess Anxing

Fifth child: Prince Li Kun (first son)

Youngest daughter: Princess Qinghe (first daughter)

What?The prince's painting style seems to be different?Don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame the naming rules. When there are two words with the same pronunciation, I was like a cow at the time, okay?Everyone is welcome to give these princes and princesses a seat~~ I will continue to add information about their matriarchy, wives and children in the future.

PS. Originally it was supposed to be called Li Xin Pu Dalang (well, the prince’s lineage + ranking), and Li Hui continued to rank among the cousins... But I was afraid that everyone would be confused, and when I read it... well, it's strange... then forget it, Let’s take Axin and Ahui as the pet names of the elders. People of the same generation can be called elder brothers and younger brothers. They will use the characters in the future. When they grow up, they will be called uniformly~
