Li Guo'er, who came to visit his youngest son, went to the gate of the hall, saw the snow in front of the hall, turned his head to Xiao Shao who was standing beside him, and said, "Look, it's snowing again."

Before Xiao Shao opened his mouth, Li Guo'er said with a smile: "It's a beautiful view."

Li Ju smiled at her and said, "That's right."

After speaking, he instructed Su Yan to go to the door of Zhongshu and ask Xie Xun to read it.

Seeing this, Li Guo'er smiled and said: "Father is biased. I only think about Mr. Xie for this kind of scenery, but I don't want Guo'er to see it with Dad."

Li Guo'er is now seven years old, in winter she is dressed in carmine red fur, standing under the brackets, her skin is more radiant than snow.Her brows and eyes have inherited Li Ju's sharpness, but she often smiles, she doesn't need to stretch her knees, she is already pitiful everywhere.

Li Jun put down Li Fang in his arms, lightly tapped Li Guo'er's forehead, and said with a sneer, "I don't know what's on your mind. The left and right Guanyin slaves have already taught me to bring them out from Ah Ci today. You just take the lead." Let him be stubborn, I don't care."

Hearing this, Li Guo'er cheered, without any usual dignity, took Li Fang's hand and wanted to leave.Li Fang is nearly two years old now, and although he can walk, he is not good at running. Fortunately, Li Guo'er is delicate and only holds his hand as he walks slowly.

Li Jue was still worried, and said to Xiao Shao: "Call a few more Huangmen to take turns holding the lamps later, don't make any mistakes."

Xiao Shao responded with a smile, and Li Jue waited for Xie Xun in front of the Zichen Hall, and waited for Su Yan, who came and passed on after a while.

Su Yan kowtowed and said: "Qizou everyone, Mr. Xie is not on duty today, he has already returned home."

Li Jue was a little displeased and said, "Usually, I don't see him going back so early."

Even though he said so in his mouth, there was nothing he could do. Li Jue's interest in seeing the snow was greatly reduced, and he went back to the hall somewhat wearily.Seeing this, Su Yan hurriedly followed in, and when there was no one there, he quietly said to Li Jue: "Xie Xianggong guessed that everyone is going to pass on him today, but there are really other things that hinder him, saying that there will be a long time in the future." , why do you have to fight for one day and one night?"

What Su Yan thought was different from what Xie Xun said, but Li Jue naturally understood it immediately after hearing it, and turned his anger into joy and said: "What is such a great event, can Mr. Xie talk about it?"

"It seems to be about Jiang Shiyi." Su Yan said with some uncertainty, "Xie Xianggong left the palace after noon today."

Li Jue was startled when he heard the words, and then smiled helplessly: "I know. You can go now."

The Jiang Suyi in Su Yan's mouth is Zuo Suyi Jiang Han, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Zhongshu.Others said that he was weaker than Cui Chengzu, but Li Jue knew that was not the case, and it was not an unreasonable secret, but he had offended Xuan Yi and Xie Xun in the past.It's just that now that Feng Zhaofu's party has been wiped out, he only demoted his official position and didn't go out because he didn't make any serious mistakes.Because there are no newcomers available in the court for a while, Li Jue is unwilling to embarrass him at this time.He didn't want Xie Xun but insisted on holding on to the old things, Li Jue didn't want to go against Xie Xun's wishes for a Jiang Han, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Waiting for the palace servants to serve Li Jue lying on the couch, after Yili receded, Li Jue opened his eyes in the dark, and sighed softly: "It's still the same temperament."

But with a faint smile.

Ever since the snow in Chang'an last month, Xie Xun always felt the coldness in the air when walking outside, even if he was driven in a sedan chair, he couldn't stop the coldness outside.He lifted the curtain and opened his eyes to look out, deeply felt that the plum blossoms hadn't lost weight, but the country had already changed.

Xie Xun was sitting in the eaves, thinking aimlessly, when suddenly he heard the little boy outside whispering: "Ah Lang, we're here."

After the car curtain was parted, a gust of biting wind rushed in, Xie Xun sighed: "This year seems to be extraordinarily cold."

The little boy was newly bought, so he didn't dare to answer without authorization. He thought about it first, and secretly glanced at Xie Xun, trying to figure out his happiness and anger, before carefully replying: "Last year, Tubo suffered a summer drought, so we attracted a lot of attention. Come to that war. The villain thought, it would be better to have more snow now."

Xie Xun turned to him with a smile and said, "You're right."

Seeing him showing off his face, the little boy silently breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't help being curious about the reason for Xie Xun's trip.Before the king of Khotan came to Chang'an with his subjects, Li Jue ordered Shen Chengke, Minister of Honglu Temple, and Jiang Han, Minister of Rites, to resettle them together.Most of the six ministers of the Chu Dynasty had other positions, and so did Jiang Han.Since he was appointed, he has been very diligent, and he has kept himself clean and unconcerned. His only hobby is raising horses.Jiang Han's mansion is a bit far away from Xie's mansion, and Xie Xun doesn't often interact with him in private, so when he visits now, even if he handed over the greeting card in advance, it is still confusing.

Arriving at Jiang Han's mansion, Xie Xun saw that he staggered a little when he came out to greet him, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to support him and said, "Jiang Shiyi, be careful."

Jiang Han sighed slightly and said, "I feel ashamed."

The warm smile on Xie Xun's face froze, and he said slowly: "Go in and talk."

The host and the guest walked to the atrium, Jiang Han suddenly stopped, pointed to a red plum planted in the courtyard and recited: "Gifting Yuan is empty and full of hands, hurting and leaving Shi's heart. For whom to be beautiful early, don't wait to be young."

His tone was cold, with a sense of helplessness, Xie Xunwen's heart moved, and when he thought of all the speculations, he couldn't help but feel a lot more real, so there was a bit of a mean smile on his face: "Jiang Shiyi is really worried about the country. Worrying about the people is incomparable."

Jiang Han let out a long laugh, then his expression gradually faded and he said, "Mr. Xie is not in his position, he doesn't seek his own government, and he is taken care of by a sage, how can he compare with us."

Xie Xun has no scruples about other people, so Xie Xun simply said the reason why he said it directly: "Jiang Shiyi chose the path by himself. If he doesn't want to do something for others, if he doesn't want to do it, he wiped his neck with a knife and it's clean. Now Sad and sad, complaining about yourself, pulling out these nonsense, who are you going to complain about?"

Jiang Han had previously experienced Xie Xun's sharp remarks before, but he opened his mouth to argue, but he couldn't argue, and he could still hear Xie Xun's cold voice in his ears: "Jiang Shiyi, there is no harvest in Tubo's drought, and the envoy is borrowing from us." Liang, although the sage was angry at Tubo's humiliation of Princess Yong'an at first, he secretly ordered the Taifu Temple to supervise the matter. The minister of the Taifu Temple, Feng Zhaofu, followed the order, and Jiang Suyi did not confirm it. Later, he reported that it had been dealt with This matter. After Tubo invaded, the news from Anxi also said that Tubo Zanpu’s heart was not enough to repay his kindness... It’s nothing, it’s not my race, and I don’t care much about it, it’s just the death of Princess Yong’an, I’m afraid it’s Jiang Shiyi Never thought of it."

Xie Xun said the corners of his lips slightly curved at the end, and sighed: "Not worrying about the few but the unevenness, the Tubo people are too sincere, after all, they are still barbarians..."

Jiang Han's originally pale complexion became calm after hearing this, and said with a sneer: "Xie Xianggong said so much, just because he remembered that a certain person had satirized Xuan Weigong and Xie Xianggong before, so it is hard for Xie Xianggong to check these clearly. .”

"Alas, Jiang Shiyi is the only one who can be your confidant." Xie Xun laughed out loud, "I know that Princess Liang of the Kingdom of Liang had suppressed a lot of news about Tubo's request for peace when she was fighting against Tubo in Anxi. Since Shiyi also knows, he is unexpectedly a wonderful person who has both sides. What is the purpose of visiting here? See Jiang Shiyi's exquisite seven orifices, so I won't say much."

Xie Xun came and went quickly, he didn't even drink a cup of tea prepared by Jiang Han, he wrapped himself in fox fur and turned to leave.

Jiang Han stared blankly at the thin plum in the courtyard, and suddenly burst into tears.

The old servant at home was shocked when he saw this, and was about to go forward to ask what was the reason, but he heard Jiang Hanman's long chanting: "The sky is dark in the sky. It's even worse, the slanting wind and drizzle, and the chaos is like weaving. The old eyes have been empty all their lives. , relying on tall buildings hundreds of feet. Look at the mighty, thousands of cliffs and autumn scenery. The white-haired scholar is full of tears from Shenzhou, so desolate, and does not drip to Niushan. Chase the past, go without a trace..."

Probably all the sorrows of the past and present come from the same source. Although the old servant does not understand poetry, he can still hear the master's sorrow: "Young people are proud of the Lingyun pen. Now, the spring is gone, and the heart is full of desolation. I often hate the world for lack of innovation. I like to talk about the madmen of the Southern Dynasties. Take out the broken hat every year. If you live up to the wine with the yellow flowers, you will be afraid of the yellow flowers and laugh at people's silence. Go north and hide in the west."

Jiang Han thought that the long song should be crying, and the long tune is more sad than the small order. After reciting a song to congratulate the bridegroom, he suddenly laughed to himself: "Where did you have a Lingyun pen..."

Zuo Suiyi Jiang Han's official documents were temporarily retained by Li Jue. It was the evening of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month when he summoned Xie Xun to Yanying. I feel cold.Fortunately, Xie Xun had prepared a heater, and he never put it down after entering the Hall of Yanying.

"Xie Lang." Li Jue stood in front of Yanying Hall and smiled at him, "Come with me to the Taiye Pool for a walk."

Xie Xun knew nothing, and the two monarchs and ministers walked slowly.When he reached the Taiye Pool, Li Ju coughed lowly, and ordered the attendants behind him to retreat, leaving only Xiao Shao to serve.Seeing this, Xie Xun said: "It's cold at night, the saint must take care of himself."

Li Jue smiled back and pointed at Xiao Shao: "This is a caring person. I woke up early the day before yesterday but only coughed a few times, and she poured me ginger soup every day. Now she is much better."

Xiao Shao, who was pointed at, bowed with a smile and said: "Everyone doesn't think the servant girl is rude."

Xie Xun praised: "Mistress Xiao is really sensible. Otherwise, the saint would not have changed the palace people around him one after another, but kept Miss Xiao."

Li Jue said with a smile, "Xiao Shao and everyone should leave. I have a private matter to discuss with Mr. Xie."

Xie Xun knew that Xiao Shao must have learned about the affair in Zichen Palace that day, but now Li Jue even avoided her, so he couldn't help being curious.

When only Li Xie and Li Xie were left around, Li Yufang dragged him into his arms bitterly, bit his neck and said: "I only know that you don't want to teach Jiang Han to stay in Beijing, but you don't want Xie Lang to be so cruel." , you have to teach him to be an official.
