[On May 13, the 24th year of Wuwei, Taizong called on General Qin, Wang Wenzhi, and attended the meeting with the Prince of Jingjiang.
- "The History of Yong: Biography of King Rui"〗
Xia Jinyi stood outside the door, looking bored into the distance, alas, why should I be the prince's personal bodyguard? Although from today, I have become a person who can be compared with my senior brother, but he is very rational and has martial arts skills. No, his scheming is not deep enough. Although he is a little clever, he will not have any great achievements. If his power is too high and his ability and status are not in line with his status, he will fall into trouble. Finally, he treats people kindly and makes some friends, otherwise he wants to be mobilized. Everyone will be scorned. Although he has been like a duck to water for a few months by the Prince’s side, he always has a faint fear of a person. A few days ago, he heard that the person was seriously injured and was dying. He once gave birth to hope for that person. The thought of dying, so that no one will stare at him, but that night, when he went out to look for flowers and willows, he found a silver ring in the jug with the word "Jiang" written on it, and he was shocked at that time. In a cold sweat, I immediately asked God to bless the man with a long life, at least he is not like a person who crosses a river and demolishes a bridge.
Now that time is rushing, I have become a trusted confidant of the prince, and that person has already escaped danger. Until now, I have never received any information from him, as if they have never met, it is easy to be a spy like this. Do it, just be yourself. But am I really me now? Xia Jinyi smiled bitterly, as if he was a teenager again. At that time, he was a kind-hearted boy who was filial to his parents, respected his teachers, and praised by everyone. Yan, why do you need to think about those unpleasant things, he couldn't help thinking of Xiuchun's appointment to meet him tonight, I'm afraid he won't have time, Xiuchun is a good woman, but unfortunately in the royal family, she can't help herself. The life of the maid cannot be decided by herself, and now that something happened to Mrs. Cui, if the princess is involved, no, she should go and give the princess a message, after all, she is the master of Xiuchun, and she promised Let the embroidery spring be free.
Thinking of this, Xia Jinyi thought to himself that after the arrival of the county master, he would definitely have nothing to do for at least half an hour, so he might as well run secretly. But the princess came from the princess. The princess should already know about this, right
Just when Xia Jinyi was thinking wildly, he saw a woman in snow clothes walking in the distance. Her peerless elegance and gorgeous appearance made people feel admiration and self-abasement in one's heart. But Xia Jinyi didn't have this feeling at all. His whole body suddenly became cold and stiff, but there was flames burning in his chest. It was a feeling of being in hell. He could hardly think, and saluted like a marionette. He heard himself The voice said: "The county master, Your Highness, Concubine Lan and Shaofu Lu are already waiting for the county master inside."
Then he even eagerly opened the door for the county master himself, and his eyes were filled with incomparable admiration. That was how a man who was lecherous but not lewd saw a peerless beauty. It was not until Li Hanyou walked into the room that Xia Jinyi said with difficulty: "I have some abdominal pain, so you can watch it first." Then he hurriedly walked to his residence despite the well-meaning sarcasm of his colleagues. Finally, he walked back to the quiet and independent little house, pushed open the door, and saw a slender figure sitting in front of him. On the bed, it was Xiuchun, who must have been sent by the princess, Xia Jinyi suddenly pounced on it, the two figures entangled together, fell on the bed, and then the curtain fell. For a while, his rough gasps mixed with her painful moans.
After a while, Xia Jinyi, who was satisfied, let go of his hand, lay down on the bed, and Xiuchun stood up angrily, but was surprised to see that this man who usually laughed and cursed with tears on his face, his face twitched. , hideous and terrifying, but Xiuchun could see that this man was in despair and grief. She embraced him regardless of her exhaustion, the man trembled, and then stretched out her hand to hug her firmly, After a long time, Xia Jinyi pushed her away, jumped out of bed, and after he had recovered his calm to wash up, he said lightly, "If the Crown Princess knows about the death of Mrs. Cui, you must persuade her to restrain herself. Now His Royal Highness We are discussing how to deal with it, you let the Crown Princess pay attention to the plot, the Concubine Lan has been inside for a long time."
Xiuchun silently looked at the man who gave him a sudden stimulation, and asked, "Jin Yi, tell me what happened."
Xia Jinyi smiled and said, "What can I do? Your Highness is going to use me to do things. Don't talk nonsense." After that, she turned around and walked out. Xiuchun looked at his back and couldn't help but feel bitter. It was the first time she knew this temperament. The frivolous, glib guy has such deep pain.
Xia Jinyi, who walked out of the room, was another suave and handsome young man. He didn't even see a trace of his abnormality just now. He rushed back to the prince's secret place, but saw a guard hurriedly approaching, and when he saw him, he shouted. : "Brother Xia, go and report to you that something big has happened. King Yong arrived at General Qin's mansion. It's been almost two hours, and he hasn't come out yet."
Xia Jinyi moved in his heart and asked, "Did King Yong go by himself? Do you know what reason he used? I can't report it in a confused way."
The guard said: "King Yong brought a lot of guards, and also brought three generals, Sima Xiong, Jing Chi, Changsun Ji, and Jiang Zhejiang Sima. We originally thought that King Yong was looking for trouble, but who didn't know that Qin Qing was also there. I had a foot in the matter of stabbing Jiang Zhe. I originally wanted to wait for King Yong to leave and then report back. Anyway, presumably he wouldn't stay for too long, but I didn't expect that he didn't come out for such a long time. They said they were having a good time talking, so I came back to report, I'm afraid it's a little late, Brother Xia has a few words for me."
Xia Jinyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, when did I feel sorry for you?" Xia Jinyi knocked on the door again begging to see you. This time, when he pushed the door and entered, he saw that the prince Li An looked a little stunned, while Lu Jingzhong and Lan Fei were both sullen, only Li Hanyou was still so elegant. Li An said impatiently: "What's the matter, don't you see Gu is discussing things?"
Xia Jinyi hurriedly avoided the important and said the matter lightly. As soon as Li An heard that King Yong had gone to the Qin Mansion, his face sank, and he waved his hand to rebuke Xia Jinyi, coldly saying: "He has become more active, it seems that the favor of the father and the emperor has been favored these days. Let him forget his identity, Lu Shaofu, you offered to divide King Yong and the Qin family, and now they are united, what do you say?"
Lu Jingzhong thought for a moment and said, "Although I didn't expect such a development at the time, it's not difficult to deal with. Since there is no quarrel between King Yong and the Qin family, then we will create a quarrel. If Your Highness accompanies the county master now. What would a trip to Qin Mansion be like?"
Li Anxin moved and remembered the marriage between Li Hanyou and Qin Qing. Although Qin Yi had not yet agreed to it, the father and mother were both satisfied. If the matter was successful, the Qin family wanted to favor King Yong, and King Yong was afraid. I don't believe them anymore, I can't let them get closer, but since that matter has been decided, I will go to Qin Mansion first. After thinking about it, Li An stood up and said: "Will the county master be willing to follow suit? This king and his party?"
A red cloud floated across Li Hanyou's face, and she whispered, "Hanyou obeys."
Li An immediately greeted Xia Jinyi to arrange the carriage and horse. He took Lu Jingzhong in a car, and Li Hanyou had his own car. On the road, Li An said solemnly: "This Li Hanyou is really smart, and he has come up with the best of both worlds. It is said that Cui Yang discovered that someone was stealing and selling weapons, so he investigated in private. Unfortunately, he was discovered by those corrupt officials and died tragically. In this way, Cui Yang's reputation was flawless, and the princess and the solitary didn't have to worry about being implicated, and then randomly found a few ghosts in the household. It is said that the Minister of the Household was oversight, and then the Crown Prince guaranteed that he would take the blame and make merit, so that both of them were kept and dealt with slowly in the future, this idea is very good, why are the young master and Laner not happy
Lu Jingzhong said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, although this idea is the best of both worlds, it actually supports being a minister. If Cui Yang's reputation is preserved, then the status of the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince will be as stable as a mountain, so Concubine Lan will naturally not be happy. She invited a junior sister from the same school to come over. She originally wanted to help her, but she didn't expect the county master to support Jingzhong, so the empress was angry. But it made me and Concubine Lan have a bad heart. I think the county master will definitely tell the empress, I am the confidant of the prince and cannot oppose me. They are sisters and they can reach an understanding soon. The Lord is so scheming, why not let the minister worry, Your Highness, the Fengyi Clan can help him, but cannot be controlled by him. If Li Hanyou's move was not the order of the Fengyi Clan Master, the minister would have stopped her and Qin Qing's marriage. "
Li An frowned and said, "But if this is not the case now, how can I suppress the arrogance of the second child, the affairs of the Ministry of Household are about to break out, if the second child takes the opportunity to attack, I am afraid that the Ministry of Household is no longer my world. "
Lu Jingzhong sighed and said, "This is why this minister is embarrassed. His Highness is going to expose the illegal affairs of the Household Department in the past few days. His Highness is in charge of the Household Department. Although this kind of thing can be explained in the past, the Emperor can't help but feel a little annoyed. So now, His Highness has to rely on them to suppress King Yong, and wait until the wind is calm, then come to think of a way, in fact, it is good to win over the Qin family, but it is a pity that Fengyi Sect took advantage of it."
Li An hesitantly said: "Li Hanyou is also a royal family, so he will not be too biased towards the division." His voice was full of unconfidence.
Lu Jingzhong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness is right." But there was a strange and meaningful look on his face. The prince who just wanted to destroy King Yong and win over the Qin family didn't pay attention.
Today, Qin Yi is honored and favored. While he and King Yong were having a feast in the back garden, his family came to report, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived. Qin Yi smiled bitterly. He never thought that he had always been clean and self-righteous, but he had become the trigger for the battle between the two princes. No matter what he thought, he could only lead the crowd to greet him.
When Li An got out of the car and drove, he saw Qin Yi and King Yong hurriedly approaching, and the two stepped forward and bowed: "My ministers Li Zhi and Qin Yi meet the Crown Prince."
Li An stretched out his hand and said: "The second brother and the general should not be too polite, but I came here alone today to accompany the county master to visit the general and Mrs. Qin. I didn't expect the second brother to be here too. Han You, come to see the general. General."
Following Li An's voice, a beautiful woman in snow clothes walked out of another Chinese car, she walked in front of Qin Yi, fluttered down and said: "Hanyou pays respects to the general, my father has repeatedly asked And the matter of fighting side by side with the general, a few days ago, the meager gift that Han You sent on behalf of his father was rejected by the general, thinking that the general was angry that Han You was late for the meeting, but it was Han You who had been accompanying the queen in the palace recently. Niangniang, please also ask the general to forgive me."
Qin Yi looked indifferent, smiled and said: "The minister and the prince are indeed deeply in love, but the emperor's life is in his body, the prince is guarding outside, and Qin is driving in the capital, so I haven't seen each other for many years. There is no reason to refuse the gift of the county master, but apart from the emperor's reward, Qin has never accepted gifts from others, and the county master is very worried."
When everyone came to the back garden, Qin Yi had already ordered people to change the food and drink. Li An sat in the chief and looked up. The back garden of Qin Mansion was different. After leveling a piece of open space in Nuoda, it was covered with bluestone slabs, and trees were planted around it. It became a small school field. There were weapon racks, stone locks and other things on the field, and in the corner of the school field, there were several war drums. Now that the spring is bright, Qin Yi has set up a banquet under the big tree outside the school grounds, and let the generals and warriors compete on the school grounds to add to the fun. Just now was the most lively time. The winner will be rewarded with a wine, and the loser will not be punished. They are all from the military, and they don't have so much scheming. King Yong and Qin Yi will not have the heart to fight because of this.
It is a pity that Li An's arrival made the atmosphere here a little cold. Qin Yi asked the family to disperse, and asked Mrs. Qin to accompany the county master. After all, everyone here is used to officialdom, and it is calm.
Several of these people were busy looking at each other's dynamics while chatting. Lu Jingzhong agreed with the prince, while paying attention to Sima Jiangzhe, the king of Yong, intentionally or unintentionally. This person always talked leisurely with Qin Qing and Qin Yong. What, the three generals under King Yong were also discussing next to him. Lu Jingzhong raised his ears and listened, but what kind of tactics, mountain and river geography, etc., he was not good at these, and Mrs. Qin was chatting and laughing with Li Hanyou. , Li Hanyou was very generous, and was very fond of Mrs. Qin. Originally, Qin Qing had been listening to Jiang Zhe's conversation, but it didn't take long for him to be out of his mind, and his eyes fell on Li Hanyou repeatedly. While the Prince, King Yong, and Qin Yi were having a lively conversation, Qin Qing gradually began to let go of his courage and began to chat with Li Hanyou. Mrs. Qin seemed to be happy to see it happen, and from time to time threading needles for them.
Although Li Hanyou seemed to be concentrating on pleasing Mrs. Qin and dealing with Qin Qing, the corner of her eyes was always on Jiang Zhe and Xiao Shunzi who was standing behind him. She had already obtained the information from the teacher. She had already read the information describing the behavior of some thin and haggard youths in Southern Chu. Who would have known that this young man, known for his literary talents, used such a vicious strategy to pacify Shuzhong and alienate Dayong. If Prince De was not dead, I am afraid that this person will bring greater losses to Dayong. Unfortunately, Fengyimen did not notice him until King Yong captured him back to Dayong. King Yong Yuyi, the sect master personally ordered himself to assassinate this person, but unfortunately he failed.
As for Li Shun, Li Hanyou suddenly felt powerless in his heart. In terms of age, he was older than him, and in terms of background, his teacher was one of the three great masters, but this young man's martial arts actually surpassed him, according to his own The information I got was that this young man's martial arts was far superior to him. Apart from the sect master, there were probably only six or seven elders in his sect who could outperform him. What made me most uneasy was that such a young man with strong martial arts was willing to do it. The servant of the scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, you can see that he is obedient and obedient at the moment. He is completely in the form of a well-trained servant. It really makes people angry. If such a master is used by me, Li Hanyou sighed, This person is a disabled person, and the "Sacred Phoenix Heart Method" of Fengyimen is completely useless.
Seeing Li Hanyou sighing, Qin Qing couldn't help but ask, "Why is the county lord sighing?"
Li Hanyou moved in his heart and said, "My concubine also heard from my father about some military affairs, but unfortunately my father did not allow me to participate. General Qin and you are almost all famous generals who spent the rest of their lives fighting in the battlefield. I don't know if I can tell my concubine. What about things on the battlefield?"
Qin Qing said with a smile: "The county master is a disciple of Fengyi Sect, but unfortunately he is a clan. Otherwise, there is no difficulty in going to the battlefield. Although the last general has fought bloody battles on the battlefield, it is a pity that if these things are said, it will be a bit unpleasant."
Li Hanyou saw that Mrs. Qin's face was a little hesitant, and quickly said: "I don't want to hear about those killings, I just heard that the desert is picturesque, the scenery in the middle of Shu is beautiful, and the southern Chu is boundless, I don't know these things. Compared with Dayong, where is the scenery more moving?"
Although Li Hanyou's voice was not high, everyone could hear it clearly, and they couldn't help thinking. Most of these people had a lot of knowledge. Li Hanyou said that they have not been to all of these places, but they have been to most of them, but if you say where The scenery is the most prosperous, but this is why they feel that somewhere is the best in their hearts, and they feel that there is no evidence in empty words.
Although Li An didn't know what Li Hanyou's purpose was, but in the same mind as the enemy, he said: "This is a good topic, we have a leisurely gathering today to discuss some important military and political affairs, it is a bit boring, it is better to talk about what you have seen and heard. It’s not bad, let’s use this as a drinking order, and each person will name a scenic spot, but they need to have the poetry of their predecessors as proof, if they can’t say it, they will be fined three drinks.”
