Surrounded by strong ministers

Xiao Zong hit the big luck twice in a row, one time was not on the scoreboard, and his mood was inevitably a little depressed. Walking on the busy side street, stall owners on both sides tried their best to yell at him for business. Stepping on straight steps, I walked forward without squinting and turning a deaf ear.

Sima Xian happened to meet the emperor in a small street crowded with people, and he caught up with the rare good time sooner or later. He did his part to expose the real purpose of "Agarwood", and spent enough time admiring the emperor's dull dragon face, and then As a matter of course, he was by the side of the emperor who obviously wouldn't recover from his discomfort for a while.

Xiao Zong's nephews watched someone trying to get close to his uncle, but the uncle was as unconscious as a few wisps of soul out of his body, Xiao Jun and Xiao Li rolled their eyes and squeezed to his uncle's left and right hands , one of them grabbed one of the uncle's arms on one side, turned his head and looked at the second son of Chu who had a woman's face but was masculine all over his body, who was genuinely neither male nor female, and looked like your intentions could not escape my burning eyes A clear posture.

Sima Xian was pushed horizontally by two little children, and moved a little further away from Xiao Zong, his two slender eyebrows twisted unconsciously, looking at the several figures in front of him for a moment, he glanced to the side from the corner of his eye, probably because he was affected by him Chi Yuzhi was also squeezed in the back by Han Su, seeing Taifu Han's calm expression, but his plain eyes were always focused on a certain place in front, Sima Xian raised the corners of his thin lips, and said with a low laugh: "Why is Taifu Han so focused?"

Han Su turned his eyes back, his face was calm, and he glanced at the meaningful smile on the lips of the second son of the King of Chu, and said nothing.

It is rare for the Son of Heaven to come out of the palace, not to mention that this temple fair now runs through several streets and alleys the size of the imperial city, and is crowded with thousands of people, but there are not so many people crowded on weekdays.If it is so easy to meet by chance, there are so many coincidences, why should he wait at the corner of St. Ann's Street.

The prince of Chu must have spent a lot of thought on knowing the whereabouts of the emperor, but he didn't know what he was planning so hard for.

Han Su thought to himself, turned his eyes to the front inadvertently, was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "The day before yesterday... the Fourteenth Master asked me to take me to Zhuxiangyuan, Mr. Sima didn't seem to care."

Sima Xian's gaze also fell in front of him, wondering if the lights on the street were too dazzling, he narrowed his slender phoenix eyes, only a thin gleam of light leaked out of them, the frivolous look that used to float on his face followed that The thin light disappeared suddenly, and the light smile that was always on the lips revealed a depth that was completely different from before.

After being silent for a long time, and staring at Xiao Zong's back for a long time, Sima Xian's face suddenly turned dark, and his usual frivolity was again, "The fourteenth master said a lot to the Taifu the day before yesterday, every sentence Compassionate, I, a minister, was very touched, and engraved every word in my heart."

Han Su frowned, Sima Xian paused for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Of course, if Taifu Han told me to stay in the Zhuxiang courtyard and not go out, I thought about it. When I was imprisoned, I never hid him from going out, but now he is like a caged animal imprisoned in an iron cage, so why should I fear him even more."

"Mr. Sima, don't you think it's because he is in a difficult situation that you should be especially cautious?" Han Su frowned, turned his head, and looked at the second son of the King of Chu who looked idle and calm. He couldn't understand this young man. His demeanor looks frivolous, but he dances his long sleeves like a celestial maiden scattered flowers. Half of the courtiers are bewitched by him, are they pretending to be stupid with him, or are they really not afraid of death and want to make something happen, or have other ideas to make this happen? A chance encounter.

I secretly pondered for a long time, but I was not sure.

However, Sima Xian didn't seem to be concerned about his worrisome situation that Taifu Han said. He sighed meaningfully, looked at Han Su, and said leisurely: "Taifu Han is really a loyal minister of the Emperor... the Fourteenth Lord, worrying about you Worry about everything.” He smiled meaningfully, and then he said unhurriedly: “Teacher, please rest assured, I don’t want to die early, I have punched and kicked myself in elementary school, and I am still a little confident in saving my life.” of."

Han Su was silent, frowned and said, "It's good to have self-confidence, but Mr. Sima will bring a few personal guards with him when he goes out, so as not to cause trouble for the Fourteenth Lord." Even if he had already planned to make an order for Prince Chu to leave the capital tomorrow, his words might be superfluous, so he will not say more.

Sima Xian naturally didn't know that, so he raised his eyebrows, "Teacher Han reminded me that I should pay attention to it in the future. When I can bring a guard, I must bring it with me, so as not to worry the Fourteenth Lord. But..." Turning his eyes and glanced Glancing at Xiao Zong's back, he said again, "On a beautiful day like tonight, the fewer people around you the better. Didn't you, Taifu Han, come here alone? After all, it's inconvenient and spoils the scenery with a follower." After saying this, he seemed to want to dig out something from Han Su's face, and looked at him with a slight smile.

Han Su's face remained calm and unchanged.

Sima Xian pursed his lips slightly, and after a while, sneered slightly.

Since the two of them started chatting, they tacitly walked slowly behind Xiao Zong. Along the way, they had already distanced themselves from the emperor who was walking in front. At this moment, each of them seemed to have nothing more to say. Unconsciously, they quickened their steps.

As for Xiao Zong's side in front, I don't know if he has persuaded himself to put aside his discomfort after a long period of silence alone, or if the nephews teased him. The heads of Li Xiaojun's two nephews occasionally bent down to his eldest nephew Xiao Heng's mouth, and he didn't know what was interesting, as if he laughed lightly.

Sima Xian saw the hot scene in front of him from behind. After a few glances, he was distracted for a moment. He didn't know what to think, and the smile on his lips was a little faint. : "The Fourteenth Lord is a merciful and soft-hearted master. Seeing how he raises a few young children together, you can know what kind of beautiful wishes he is holding. When he ascends to the throne, he still has that kind of thought. Brothers and friends respectfully , I don’t know if he is naive or wishful thinking.”

Han Su frowned when he heard this, but Sima Xian immediately continued: "Since ancient times, the same room has been fighting against power and wealth, and now the young highnesses are very friendly and harmonious, but no one can guarantee what they will be like after they grow up. Fourteenth Lord is so beautiful." I'm afraid it won't be easy to come true." She raised her lips mockingly, glanced sideways, and saw Han Su frowning at him, "Why, Taifu Han doesn't agree with what I said, do you have another opinion?"

Han Su didn't have any high opinions on Sima Xian's words, he didn't need him to express his views on what the future of the young princes would be like, the emperor has his own way of raising the emperor.He frowned, but he was a little surprised that Prince Chu suddenly made such a conversation.

After pondering for a moment, Han Su roughly sensed the reason for the sudden and seemingly unkind and mocking words of the Second Young Master Chu.

Sima Xian was born in a princely family. It is said that Sima Yong, king of Chu, favored his two sons very much. Treat everyone equally, there is always a bias, the most important one, the King of Chu, can only have one.According to Wang Juezi, the two sons of the Chu Palace choose one and abandon the other, which is biased and a dispute.As far as the current situation is concerned, Sima Jin, the son of the late Princess Chu, was established as the eldest son. It is said that the eldest son of the King of Chu has not been in good health. It takes six years to be considered strong. In the past 20 years, the king of Chu has set up a medicine jar and the son has never been abandoned. Presumably, he has an extraordinary preference for the eldest son.Han Su looked at the second son who was a concubine beside him. It was rumored that the two sons of the Chu Palace were harmonious, but he didn't take it seriously. However, looking at the situation, he thought that Sima Yi's brothers had been fighting against each other for a long time. Unhappy.

Han Su frowned and was thinking to himself, Sima Xian glanced at him, and his expression returned to his usual frivolous smile: "Teacher Han has been silent since just now, it wouldn't be my casual words that really made you feel sorry for that?" Are you worried about the future of the little ones? It seems that I made a bad remark." Squinting his slender eyes and looking ahead, he said, "The Fourteenth Master seems to have completely recovered from his discomfort. , you and I follow now, he shouldn't feel embarrassed anymore, Taifu, I invite you first." The corner of his eyes raised slightly, and he quickly followed Xiao Zong.

Han Su pondered for a while, and after careful consideration just now, he was somewhat sure of a guess that existed in his mind before.Sima Xian's going to Beijing might not be as simple as lobbying the emperor to work together to get rid of the king of Qin. Should he remind the emperor?

Thinking of Xiao Zong's statement that he would go out of Beijing with Sima Xian in the future, Han Su thought for a while, maybe it was unnecessary, so he also stepped forward.

Sima Xian and Han Su followed Xiao Zong, Xiao Zong was still surrounded by several nephews who prevented outsiders from getting close to his uncle.

Seeing the two who had been behind for a long time approaching, Xiao Zong didn't say anything, just nodded his head slightly, his energy was indeed as usual.Seeing this, Sima Xian wanted to talk to the Son of Heaven. He spent a lot of effort to get the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven tonight. Up to now, he hadn't even said a word, and he couldn't hold back. Just as he was about to speak, he kept grabbing Xiao Zong's right hand. Xiao Jun, the eldest son of King An, took the lead.

So, Sima Xian and Han Su just stood beside Xiao Zong, before they could say anything, they first listened to the questions and answers between the emperor's nephew and the emperor's uncle about doubts and solutions.

Xiao Jun held his uncle's hand, and said a little hesitantly: "Well... Uncle, my nephew has a question, I don't know if I should ask it or not?"

It was rare for Xiao Zong to see the emperor's nephew who was like a monkey still twitching, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "What's the problem?"

Xiao Jun turned his eyes, "That, my nephew wants to ask what is the meaning of 'Chunxiao Tent'?" This question has been simmering in his heart since his uncle left the middle-aged old man's stall, and of course it also lingers. At the throats of the other boys, it was inappropriate to ask because of his uncle's complexion before, but now that the uncle was amused by the effort they put in, he should be able to ask.The boys all pricked up their ears to listen to the answer.

Xiao Zong took the hot potato, his complexion didn't change, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Jun continued to ask: "What is the relationship between the 'Spring Festival Tent' and 'A Moment of Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold'?"

Although the boys showed in some respects that they were sharper and smarter than they should be at their age, they were still seven or eight-year-old children after all, and they were still very ignorant about many things.

Xiao Zong was silent for a while, and said: "Where did you hear this sentence?" He remembered that the classwork of several imperial nephews did not include this kind of romantic poetry.

This time it was Xiao Li who rushed to answer: "We once met a beautiful lady in the harem... in the courtyard, I heard her read it, my nephew, I went up to ask what it meant, she ran away in a panic, and later We even asked a few waiters around us, and they all said that they were ignorant and didn't know what it meant. Finally, we asked the master, and the master said that sentence means that it is easier to get sleepy in spring, and it means that the time when you go to bed at night is especially precious, and you can't buy it with a thousand dollars. A quarter of an hour."

Xiao Zong seemed to heave a sigh of relief when he listened, "Master is right, that's what it means. The 'Spring Night Tent' is the tent that covers the bed at night in spring."

Xiao Li and Xiao Jun glanced at each other, doubtful, Xiao Jun asked again, "Then... what do you mean by male love?"

Apparently, although Sima Xian's voice was not loud at the time, all the children present heard clearly and carefully.

Xiao Zong turned his head and glanced at the culprit. The prince of Chu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes couldn't hide the narrowness.

After a long silence, Xiao Zong's face was calm, but he racked his brains, "Men's pleasure...is two men's martial arts competition, and the fight...is very happy."

"Oh." Xiao Jun nodded clearly, Xiao Zong said that he finally finished asking, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but Prince An lowered his head in thought for a moment, then looked up at him again, "I see , The so-called "Aloes" is the medicine that two men used to fight in the tent in the spring evening. After being injured, this medicine can not only relieve the pain, but also continue to fight more vigorously. Isn't it, Uncle? "

Xiao Zong heard someone around him couldn't hold back a chuckle, he twitched the corner of his mouth, and said vaguely: "Is it..."

"That 'Agarwood' is so good, uncle, why don't you buy it? You can try it if you buy a few of us to practice martial arts." Xiao Jun muttered, thinking of something, and asked again, "But why do you want to compete on the bed? Shouldn't it be in the martial arts arena Is it?"

Xiao Zong finally couldn't stand it anymore, and silently turned his head to look at Han Su.

Han Su coughed lightly, and said, "It's because people who are too obsessed with martial arts will practice kung fu day and night, so that they can't sleep at night, which is actually not good." Han Su immediately changed the subject of the question that was difficult to answer, "Young masters, the street in front of you is full of food stalls from all over the world. Would you like to try it?"

At this time, Xiao Heng, who had been silent all this time, said: "It happens that I'm hungry, let's go eat something." Looking at his uncle, he dragged away Xiao Jun who obviously hadn't given up on asking questions.

Wang Rong hugged Xiao Jian and went up to take care of him, Xiao Zong heaved a sigh of relief, and just about to walk slowly, he said in a low voice, holding back his laughter, "Your Majesty's wonderful response."

Listening to that joking voice, Xiao Zong felt more and more that it would be serious to send this person back to Chu as soon as possible.
