Love her husband and wife deeply, don't teach her to be lonely under the spring. "

The few servants left alone.

Xie Xun's expression changed, and he asked: "When did she die, how did she die, and why did she die?"

"The one who died this morning committed suicide in the mansion. As for the cause of death, he couldn't bear the shame of my uncle holding the quilt." Li Fang looked at Xie Xun with a smile, and finally felt that he didn't want to be as annoying as before, "What do you think, uncle? "

Xie Xun had calmed down, and asked back: "Did His Highness tell Ah Ye?"

"That's right." Li Fang admitted frankly, "My aunt endured hardships alone, and my uncle was willing to hide it from her, even if I was alone—he was the one who took care of me since I was a child."

"So Your Highness still remembers." Xie Xun laughed suddenly, "It's really rare."

"Actually, I don't remember much." Li Fang smiled to himself, as if a little self-deprecating, "It's just an excuse I thought up yesterday to ask my father to teach me to go out. If I say it casually today, it will be fake. Really, it's as if I really remember it, it's really funny. If it's true, my uncle hugged Gu, but Gu doesn't remember it at all."

"Your Highness is frank." Xie Xun nodded slightly, and suddenly said softly to him, "Your Highness, come closer, I have some things that I can't tell the saint, but I have to tell His Highness."

Li Fang was a little suspicious, but saw that he was sick and pale, and it must be nothing serious, so he walked forward.

There was a smile in Xie Xun's eyes, and he slapped him with his hands. The prime minister of the empire, who was still seriously ill, lost a lot of strength in his hand, but immediately slapped the young man until his face showed fingerprints.

Li Fang couldn't help being furious, he drew a short dagger from his waist and stabbed at Xie Xun.Xie Xun couldn't dodge in time, he was stabbed in the waist, he immediately curled up in pain, and before he could do anything, he taught the person who walked quickly from outside to hold him in his arms, and asked anxiously, "How are you?"

But it was Li Jun.

Li Fang was startled, subconsciously let go of the hand holding the short dagger, and stood there in a daze, not daring to say anything: "Didn't Dad go to accompany Sister Guo'er, why did you come to Nanxun Palace?"

Li Ju's face sank like water, and he pointed out: "Go out and ask the imperial physician."

The imperial physician bandaged Xie Xun's waist wound and went out. Li Jue personally helped him to lie down. A palace man came in to clean up the lichen, picked up the dagger left by Li Fang and wanted to go out, but Xie Xun told him to stop. He said: "Stay here, bring that short dagger here and let me have a look."

The servant didn't dare to take his own life, looked at Li Ju, saw him nodding, and then handed over the dagger.After Xie Xun took it, he recognized that it was given to Li Fang by Li Qi when he came to Chang'an in the past. It was decorated with pearls and jade essences, and suddenly remembered the scene when Li Fang tried the scorpion when he was one year old.At this moment, even though he refuses to believe in fate, he still feels that there is God's will in the dark. Xie Yi has studied Buddhist scriptures for years and saw the scene before he died. Didn't he see the signs of the future?

Li Jue snatched the short dagger away, and said in a low voice: "I originally wanted to come to see you. When I walked to the front of the hall, I saw the palace servant serving Guanyin slave, so I wanted to hear what he said to you... Is Guanyin slave right?" If you are more presentable, I will always be sorry for you."

"The sage didn't come to see me." Xie Xun's lips turned pale, but he refused to fall asleep, and said in a low voice, "Since Ah Ye sent Ah Zhen away, and committed suicide by himself, he must have known that there was nothing he could do to return to heaven. , Irreversible. The sage has found out the crimes of the subject, and it is time to ask the crimes today."

Li Jue didn't want him to be so ill and still be aware of his situation, he frowned and said, "You're injured, wait until you recover and ask again."

"No need, I have something I wanted to tell the sage for a long time. Since the sage is here today, I will say it together." Xie Xun said quietly, "I think nothing else has entered the heart of the sage, only the matter of Jiang Han has always been in doubt. ,Yes or no?"

Li Jue nodded: "You shouldn't hide it from me."

"What the sage said is true." Xie Xun smiled slightly, with some sarcasm in that smile, "I learned about the death of Princess Yong'an from Yu Yannian. Yu Yannian once said that the matter was very involved. Therefore, he never revealed it. He only discussed the matter with his minister after seeing that he was blessed with divine grace. The minister thought that it must be because Yu Yannian arrived in Anxi a few days late but was dissatisfied with his lack of military exploits before finding out. Later I accidentally heard someone say that Jiang Han knew about it, so I wanted to test him out. When I arrived at Jiang Han's house, he really knew. Wasn't he a man who has both ways? At that time, the minister suspected that Yu Yannian intended to take over the minister. Jiang Han was killed by hand, but there is no way to prove it, but fortunately, Yu Yannian will not mention this matter again, and the sage also approved Jiang Han's memorial to beg for bones."

Li Jue listened in a daze, and when he finally stopped talking, he said with difficulty: "Then why are you..."

"Why don't you say so? That's a little selfishness of the minister." Xie Xun sighed, and said if he lost his authenticity, "At that time, everything is over, and even a saint knows nothing. The princess and Yu Yannian definitely can't blame the two of them heavily, instead it will add to the troubles. After a hundred generations, the history books will say that the saint is weak, and he will teach the generals and the clan to bully him, which will damage the reputation of the saint. It is better for the ministers to take this responsibility. It doesn't matter - the left and right ministers are not only charged with this crime."

Li Jue said in a shy voice, "Why is this so?"

"Why is this?" Xie Xun repeated lightly, with a smile on his lips, "The sage doesn't believe it. Before, I really wanted to teach the sage to be Yao and Shun."

Li Jue was stunned, his heart throbbed, and he suddenly remembered that more than ten years ago, the handsome man in purple clothes who had just entered Beijing from the west of Zhejiang Province stood in the Zichen Palace with a smile on his face, and said gently: "May my way not be lonely, and the way of the king is like Yao." .”

He closed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were astringent, almost crying.

To Jun Yao and Shun, how difficult is this matter.

But Xie Xun is the most mean and ruthless person, he thought this sentence was just one of many official words, although he was slightly moved, he never believed it.

Xie Xun did not wrong him.

Li Jue hurriedly left under Xie Xun's increasingly mocking expression.

Xie Xun died after a snowfall on the third day of the twelfth lunar month in the fourth year of Taiping.The sky was gray and blue that day, he walked out of the Nanxun Hall in plain single clothes, and killed himself with the short dagger that Li Fang left behind.

【Three Picks】Short Dream Breaks Huai'an

After Xie Xun's death, Li Jue sat quietly in the Nanxun Palace overnight, and the next day ordered his daughter-in-law Langhuan and Zhai Fu to enter the palace to collect his bones.At this time, Zheng Ye was going to be buried, and there was a new mourning ceremony in the Xie Mansion. Lang Huan and Zhai Fu tried their best to support them, and after cleaning up all the affairs, they finally delivered the funeral for their master.

That day no relatives or friends came to the mansion, at night, Cui Xu knocked on the gate of Xie's mansion in plain clothes, sprinkled wine as a sacrifice, dressed like snow.After Lang Huan and Zhai Fu treated the guests respectfully, they completely closed the door of Xie Mansion.

Soon it will be five years in Taiping.

On the eighteenth day of the first month of the fifth year of Taiping, Li Jue summoned Prince Li Fang in Zichen Hall.

Li Fang has turned fourteen after the new year, and his eyebrows and eyes are more and more similar to Li Jun.Since returning to Dongnei from Nanxun Hall that day, he has been staying in Shaoyang Courtyard to wait for Li Jun's disposal, but Xie Xun was dead at that time, and the backlog of memorials was innumerable. Dare to be good at specialization, everything big or small must be played, Li Ju is so annoying, and he has no time to question Li Fang.Now I think it's because I have sorted out everything, so I came to summon him.

It was Xie Bi who brought him into the Zichen Palace. The huge hall was extremely empty, and Jiang Zhenxiang in front of the palace made Li Fang tremble slightly.Until now, he has never thought about what kind of thoughts he had in the past to cause Xie's death, but when Xie Xun really died, he began to be afraid again.

In the first few nights after Xie Xun's death, he often woke up in a dream, and then couldn't sleep again.After he walked slowly into the hall, beads of sweat were already dripping from his back.

Li Jue seemed to have aged a lot out of thin air. He looked at the young gentleman under the steps, and said softly: "Guanyin slave, come up the steps and come to me."

Li Fang didn't dare to disobey, so he climbed up the stairs with lowered eyes, and reached the side of Li Ju's throne. When he raised his eyes, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Xing Bi's sigh behind Li Ju, and couldn't help being startled.

Li Jue handed over a memorial: "Look at this memorial."

The memorandum was introduced to the capital by Jieshuai. When Li Fang took it, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, and when he opened it, his face changed drastically.

"... Xie Sikong drafted the three provinces, with a voice at the court, the emperor knew his face, and the prime minister was pleasant to listen to. Zeng Yin's thunder in Nanshan, and the drama in Chixian County were first dragged to the princes, and then he was in the provincial stage. He wrote for ten years. Hearing that there is a mistake, once he is imprisoned, the minister is really panic. Suddenly hearing the obituary, he suddenly feels that something is dead. After investigating the cause and effect, his eyes are wide open, and he dare not entrust him with advice, and there are even treacherous villains. The minister dares to die now, may the sage open the holy hearing, and punish the traitors."

Li Fang Lan Bi's legs went limp, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Li Ju's sleeve, and cried out in panic, "Father..."

"What are you panicking!" Seeing this, Li Jue immediately became extremely angry, pulled away the corner of his sleeve and reprimanded sharply, "Do you dare to come and cry to me at this time for what you have done? Stand up, don't you?" Bones!"

Hearing this, Li Fang stood there blankly. After a while, his expression calmed down. On the contrary, he put away the bewildered expression just now, and gradually revealed a smile on his face.He tilted his head and said softly: "Father, when I hurt Xie Ziwang that day, you should listen outside. I said a lot of disrespectful words earlier, if my father heard it before, I would punish him." , but why did you have the patience to listen that day?"

Ever since he found out that Li Fang forced Zheng Ye and Xie Xun to death, Li Jue felt that he was really in the same line of temperament as himself, even out of blue, and now it's not surprising to hear him say that.He turned his head and glanced at Xie Bi, and Xie Bi immediately bowed to salute, and dismissed all the people in the hall, leaving only one living man.

The living man remained silent all the time, only raised his eyes to look at the throne when he saw that the hall was empty, but saw the monarch and his ministers, father and son behind the smoke curling up silently, without saying a word.

It was Li Fang who was the first to break the silence. He raised the corners of his lips, revealing a man who once appeared in front of Xie Xun.
