500 exile

I want to meet Li Dan, Listen to what else he has to say, but this body is really squeamish, and I didn't sleep much last night, I was groggy after staying up for a while, Ah Huan also put a sachet next to my pillow, chanting Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures in my ear, I fell asleep unconsciously, When I woke up, it was already afternoon, Ah Huan and Shouli were not there-said that Wu Ximeng was in labor, and both of them rushed to the East Palace to wait-only Wang De and a few palace people were left to guard, and Cui Mingde was sitting outside.

On the door, it was reported that the king was visiting, and I thought about it for a while, and asked someone to call Cui Mingde, sit behind the screen, and let Li Dan come in. This guy is blue at the moment, I know that I haven't slept well in the past few days, but my spirit is extraordinarily vibrant, with a new purple half arm, stepping on a cluster of new black leather boots, and coming in with a straight salute, The first sentence is no longer called "sister", but "aunt".

I said lightly: "San Lang is called wrong, you are the son of A-Niang, my younger brother, why do you call 'aunt'?"

Li Dan sat down in front of my bed, and said with a soft smile: "I was originally the son of the abolished prince, and His Majesty adopted me as an adopted son in order to check and balance the court, and now the position of the prince has been decided, I have lost my usefulness, and I should return to my family, and obediently be my second son of King Yong, how dare I say that I am the prince with a shy face?"

I comforted him hypocritically: "Although you are not the son of A-Niang, but A-Niang is willing to adopt you, and has taken you as an heir, she seriously regards you as a son in her heart, whether the prince is established or not, you are the son of A-Niang, my brother, don't worry." ”

Li Dan looked at me and smiled: "Auntie will talk like this to Shouli?"

I found a less painful position and leaned back, squinting at him: "You are my younger brother, Shouli is my nephew, my younger brother is closer than my nephew, how can you compare with Shouli?"

Li Dan laughed and said: "Yes, Shouli is the adopted son of the crown princess, and the nephew raised by my aunt as a son, I am just the son of the abolished prince, and I am also a nephew, how can I compare with him?"

I listened to his crazy tone, afraid that he would go crazy and do something stupid, unconsciously swept his eyes around, except for me and him, there were only three people in the room: Wang Xianxian sat outside, and then went over, there was Wang De at the door, and Cui Mingde in the screen, Xianxian had some strength, Cui Mingde had fought, Wang De had been under A Qing, and it was not difficult to subdue Li Dan with the strength of three people, but I was afraid that they were a few steps away from me, and the far water could not save the near fire, so he raised his voice and said: "What about people? Don't you know how to pour tea for King Xiang?" Xiang Xianxian made a look, Xianxian was very clever, and immediately called someone to pour tea, personally served it to Li Dan, and when Li Dan took it, he came in and gave me a cup, and after I took it, he knelt in front of my bed and did not move.

Li Dan held the tea in his hand and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be afraid, I'm not crazy." He glanced into the curtain and smiled: "It seems that my aunt has a lot of trust in the two princesses, and she doesn't avoid them in anything—my aunt is not afraid, they will leak everything you see and what you say?"

I said, "There are always untrustworthy people and trustworthy people. These two people are what I believe in. ”

Li Dan said with a smile: "No wonder Wu Xiaolang has a grudge - she has followed her aunt since she was a child, from the age of ten to the age of forty, thirty years of hard work, but not only can she not compare to Wang Xianxian, but even Wang De, Song Fuyou and others are far inferior, if it were me, I would not be reconciled." ”

I didn't want him to say his name like this, I was stunned for a moment, and Fang said, "It turned out to be her." ”

Li Dan said: "Not only her, but also Mrs. Zhao Guo." ”

I was stunned again, but I didn't feel surprised when I thought about it: "Because of the matter of harmony?"

Li Dan said: "More than that. From the time Her Majesty forced Aunt Xin'an to death and abolished the Li clan as a concubine but rewarded your aunt with you, she has hated you. ”

I let out an "oh" sound: "So it's you, Wei Liangdi, Jinyang Wang Shouren, Fuyang Wang Qianli, Mrs. Zhao Guo, Wu Xiaolang - who else?"

He laughed: "There are many people who hate the Fengtian Bureau's lucrative but irrelevant spring officials, those who hate their aunts for protecting women, those who rob them of their military merits, those who hate the imperial examinations, those who hate Fengchenwei, those who hate grandmothers, and those who hate Liu Houde... But most of these people are inconsequential people, and they can't be made except for scolding twice behind their backs—of course, if my aunt wants to, I can also tell you the names of these people. ”

I stared at him, "What do you want?"

He smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, my aunt plans to make my domain?"

I waited for him to continue, and he looked at me with a smile, and although it was through the curtain, his gaze seemed to be physical, and it fell straight on my face: "I don't want to be a feudal lord." Seeing that I was silent, he smiled again: "I know that my aunt is embarrassed. I don't want to stay in the capital. I remember when I was a child, my aunt once said that there are many countries in the far west, what is the country of development, the country of eagles, the United States... The people there will build wooden oxen and flowing horses that are more powerful than those made by Zhuge Wuhou, and there are unsinkable iron ships, and I want to go to those places to see these legendary countries and see how they made these magical things—if they can, Brother Qianli would like to go with them. ”

I never thought that he would have such an idea, and for me those countries across the ocean are more like myths and legends, and my contact with them is limited to imagination. Textbooks would publicize how they had abused us, the media and newspapers would report every day about the advanced technology and affluent life of the people there, and I would occasionally see foreigners on the street, look at them curiously, and hear them speak those languages that are not unfamiliar but are enough to make me cry in the fourth and sixth grade examination room... That's all. I never thought that my nephews would be so interested in places I had never been to in my life, when did I tell them this? three years ago, five years ago, or ten years ago? Time has been so long ago that I have forgotten it, even Shou Li has stopped fiddling with his strange experiments, and has concentrated on his government affairs, but Li Dan still remembers the countries of the West, those iron ships, those airplanes and cannons, those things that may not appear until a thousand or two or three thousand years. I didn't want to refuse him.

I was silent for a long time, and after a long time, I raised my head slightly: "Do you know that if you are a vassal, as long as you stay in the place honestly, it may not be fine." But if you go to those places... That's nine deaths. ”

Li Dan smiled: "I know that those places are very far away, and we will die on the road, even if we are lucky enough to live, we will never be able to return to the Central Plains." My three brothers, the eldest brother is ordered to receive the rod every year, and he is disabled, and the third brother was born in the border land, and he is weak and sickly, and neither of them can have children, but my three sons, the eldest son, and the temperament is peaceful, please make him the heir of Aya, so that Aya may enjoy blood and food, and ask my aunt to take care of them for my Aya's sake, and not to seek glory and nobility, but to grow up in peace, and in the future, either to have an official or a white ding, all to see their own creation. ”

I hesitated for a while, and then said: "In this case, I will try to ask Your Majesty, let you go to Guangzhou with Dugu Shao, and you can go to sea from Guangzhou by boat with the people of the Fengtian Bureau, and when you arrive at the place, you will be separated—just a request, whether it is allowed or not, it depends on Your Majesty's intentions." "I really can't touch him for a while, at most I can only make him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and exile him to the borderlands. He is the son of Li Sheng, and it will be troublesome to stay, if he floats across the ocean, he will not be a threat. Let him go out to sea from Canton, and there will be people from the Fengtian Bureau watching him on the way, so that he will not make any noise, nor will he die as soon as he goes out, and he will be criticized by things—I am afraid that this is also what he planned from the beginning.

Li Dan arched his hand and smiled: "Since my aunt is willing to do this for me, whether it is successful or not, I should be grateful." Reaching out and taking out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "This is the directory." ”

I ordered the immortal to take it and tear it up and destroy it directly, Li Dan showed some different colors: "Auntie doesn't want to see who there is?"

I didn't answer, instead of a few gentle coughs, Li Dan knew a few, got up to say goodbye, came to the door, suddenly stopped again, and asked me: "Auntie back then... Did you really care about me, or did you just keep the courtesy?"

I lowered my eyes and said for a while: "You and him are both good boys, I just regret that I didn't pay more attention to teaching you back then." ”

Li Dan's eyes were red, and he smiled and arched his hand: "Farewell." As soon as he turned around, he walked away without looking back.
