After learning from the prince that Li Wei, the king of Hejian County and the king of Heiyue, was about to enter Beijing, Li Hui wrote an excerpt overnight and asked Princess Changning to forward it to the saint for him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info instead of staying in the house and doing nothing, or sitting in the study alone playing chess and learning calligraphy and painting, or watching Zhang Fu's mother and Du Jialan discuss taking care of economic affairs, etc., it is better to meet this "rebel king" and cousin Li Wei.

After the sage saw his fold, he couldn't help laughing, and said to the left and right: "But on the two days of the wedding, Xuanqi couldn't be idle, so it can be seen that a princess can't keep him." Or, even if he gets married, he still hasn't opened his love tricks. I gave him so many days to rest, he was not good at using himself, and the three brothers and sisters-in-law couldn't complain about me. Anyway, just go, just go if he wants. ”

"Since Brother is concerned about Zong Zheng Shaoqing's official duties, Grandpa will fulfill him. As for the sister-in-law, with her son and Sister Huanniang by her side, she will not feel lonely. Princess Changning replied with a smile, "However, let Brother go alone, I always feel a little uneasy." In front of a group of officials, neither father nor daughter explicitly said anything about "rebelling against the king", but they had already tacitly understood each other. If the king of Hejian County came to regret and refused to enter Beijing, Li Hui was indeed very likely to encounter danger and even be detained as a proton.

The sage thought for a moment: "Let Jing Xing go with you and bring more guards." For some reason, his gaze fell on Wang Zixian casually, and said, "Wang Aiqing will go and pass on my message to Jing Xing." You can also take a look for me, and go back and tell me what it was like. ”

"Wechen obeys the command." The prince replied.

Then, he searched almost all over the northwest corner of Chang'an City, from the Yong'an County Palace, Pu Wangfu to find the unfinished Yue Wangfu, but there was no trace of the Tianshui County King. At this time, it was almost noon, so he simply turned his horse and went to the palace of Xin'an County.

Li Hui heard him casually mention the matter of spreading the message, and said with a smile: "How can you guess where he is now?" Why bother to travel around and get tired? ”

"In the eyes of others, I am not familiar with the king of Tianshui County, so naturally I should not be able to 'guess' his whereabouts. Where is he now, maybe I can only ask your cousin. The prince said, "Moreover, as the person who uncovers Du Chongfeng's identity, it is also a proper duty to set aside a few more hours for him and Du Chongfeng." ”

Questioning and explaining in anger requires enough time, but also patience and understanding. Comparing his heart to his heart, if he confessed to Li Hui back then, he would definitely be very annoyed when he met someone who came to disturb him without interest. If Li Hui's understanding is not obtained because of this, it is impossible to say that he will be haunted for the rest of his life.

"It's rare to see you being so considerate to him." Li Hui couldn't help laughing, "Okay, let's go out of Beijing together later." I'll stay by the Baqiao and wait, you go to Du's house to find a scene and Du Shishilang. Thinking about it in broad daylight, the king of Hejian didn't dare to use any means. Since he has made up his mind to come, he will not regret it temporarily, otherwise it is better to keep pretending to be sick and staying on the way. "Temporary repentance will only bring his reputation to the ground, and there is no way to recover. The king of Hejian is a smart man, and he should not make such a move before the dog jumps over the wall.

"These days, there has been no news from Jinniang, and I suspect that they must have encountered a change. I don't know if this is good or bad...... "The prince muttered, "It must have something to do with the king of the river." Before and after he entered Beijing, he would definitely ask Mr. Zhou Jiyan about countermeasures and the situation in Beijing. Cheng Qing's success or failure may be in the past few days. ”

In that case, we should also be cautious. It is better not to get any news for a while than to put them in danger. Li Hui said, "No matter whether Cheng Qing wins or loses this trip, if he has the opportunity in the future, he should help him restore the title of the Duke of Liang." Otherwise, I'm a little uneasy. For the sake of his family, Cheng Qing is willing to risk his life to be meticulous, not to mention whether he succeeds or not, but his thoughts are enough to move people.

"Just take it slowly." The prince said, "A saint should not be stingy with the title of a duke. However, we will have to wait until the dust settles. With the name of rewarding meritorious deeds, the Cheng family can make a comeback. However, the talent of the Cheng family is not as good as Cheng Qing, and the inner house is not very stable, and in a few years, their family will still gradually decline. ”

"Then it's none of our business." Li Hui said lightly. He admired Cheng Qing's courage and courage to break through the boat, so he was willing to fulfill his wish, but it did not mean that he had the intention of making friends with the whole Cheng family. After all, in the process of joining forces to deceive the eldest princess of An Xing and secretly Chen Cang, the Cheng family's performance was not outstanding except for Mrs. Lu. There were even people who wanted to split up immediately in order to protect themselves and completely cut off Cheng Qing. You can only share wealth and prosperity, not hardship, and your character can be seen.

The prince smiled and said nothing. He is already a cold-hearted person, and I couldn't agree with his reaction.

After having lunch together, the two left Beijing in a light carriage. Outside the Chunming Gate, Li Hui continued to Baqiao in a carriage, and Wang Zixian took a few parts and rode a horse to Du's house to give Li Jing an edict.

The carriage slowly stopped outside the Shili Pavilion, and someone had already arrived first, and a tent was built nearby to block the cold wind. Li Hui glanced at the Lushu flag erected next to the tent and was not surprised. And the steward who was guarding outside the tent on the other side was already full of smiles, and stepped forward to salute diligently: "The king is also here?" The king of my family specially instructed that if he saw the king's car, he would welcome the king into the tent to warm up. ”

"Brother Clan thought I would come?" Li Hui raised an eyebrow and followed him into the tent. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the room, a warm tide immediately rushed in, and in an instant the thin snow falling on his shoulders disappeared without a trace. And he looked at the two people who were sipping soju inside, and said with a smile: "The clan brother really came with his nephew." I just saw the banner in the clan brother's mansion, and I felt quite emotional. In our clan, there are few enthusiastic people who take care of the younger generations like the clan brothers. ”

"Xuan Qi is really praised! Come, sit, drink together, warm up. The king of Jiangxia seemed to be extremely complacent about his "praise", and he personally stood up to greet him. Li Ren, the eldest son of the prince of Hejian County, who was full of nervousness next to him, raised his eyes, hiding the displeasure and disgust in his eyes, and called "uncle".

Li Hui and him were like strangers, and he didn't care about the different attitudes of this eldest nephew, so he sat beside the king of Jiangxia County in a kind manner, and enjoyed the tribute Yizhou Burning Spring with them: "Speaking of which, the Hejian clan brother should not have entered Beijing for some years, right?" My nephew has been staying in Kyochung and hasn't seen his parents for years? ”

Li Ren bowed his head slightly, and there seemed to be a little cramped in the quiet: "I haven't seen Grandpa and Auntie for six or seven years." He looked like an ordinary young man, quiet in temperament, simple-minded, ignorant of the world—like a lamb growing up among jackals, tigers, leopards and foxes, fragile and harmless.

"It is precisely because their father and son have not seen each other for many years that I accompanied Da Lang to come, so that he would not be so nervous that he would not know what to do." After the king of Jiangxia County coughed twice, he drank some wine and pressed it, and Fang continued to continue, "Xuanqi, what about you?" A good groom official, instead of staying in the house to live with his wife, braved the cold wind to welcome people? Didn't Jing Xing return to Beijing? Why don't you let him come for you? To be honest, I thought it was him. ”

"I'm Zongzheng Shaoqing, I can't send Jing Xing to handle official business for me at will." Li Hui replied with a smile, "Whether it's a brother of the Hejian clan or a cousin, I should welcome you." Of course, I only need to say a few words to my brother, and then you will lead him back to the palace of the king of Hejian County. If the time is too late, there is no need to rush to enter the palace today. Tomorrow Uncle will naturally summon them, so there is no need to hurry. ”

"They have come all the way, and it is true that they should rest for the night and face the saint again. Otherwise, it will be dusty and embarrassed, and it will inevitably be suspected of losing honor in front of the emperor. King Jiangxia nodded. Li Ren still hung his head and sat quietly alone.

An hour later, Wang Zixian finally brought Li Jing and Du Chongfeng over. The atmosphere between the three of them was extremely sluggish, and after the Jiangxia County King joked a few words, Li Jing's dark face improved slightly. Even Li Ren couldn't help but look at them quietly, especially as if he was a little curious about Du Chongfeng, who was close to him in age. Du Chongfeng saluted him, smiled slightly and talked to him, and for a while the two seemed to see each other late.

The king of Jiangxia is like a loving elder, and he is extremely emotional and seems to be extremely relieved. Li Jing's face began to darken again, Wang Zixian continued to remain silent, and Li Hui naturally quipped: "Looking at the expression of the clan brother, you can see that the clan brother really loves Da Lang as his own child." However, don't forget, brother, you are only in your twenties now, and you are not as old as Da Lang. ”

"I love Da Lang as a brother." King Jiangxia admitted frankly, "There are no brothers in the family, only a few sisters who married early. It's rare to meet Da Lang, and I always feel that he is in love with me. ”

"I heard that he has always been alone, and with his brother by his side, he shouldn't feel lonely." Li Hui said, "Many of the clan's disciples are gentlemen, and if you force him to associate with those who are not successful, it will hurt him." Follow the clan brother to learn poetry and self-cultivation, and if you will become a generation of people in the future? ”

"I can't teach such a great student." King Jiangxia said with a smile, "If it is handed over to Uncle Pu Wang to teach, maybe he will be more promising." ”

The two brothers talked and laughed happily, even if they didn't mention court affairs, they seemed to have many topics. Li Jing listened and listened, and suddenly his heart moved, and his thoughts suddenly became complicated. The prince offered to let the tribe come back from time to time, so as not to delay the matter and miss the king of Hejian County and the king of Heiyue.

Not long after, someone came to report: "The king of Hejian will be here in a few moments!" ”

Then everyone rushed out, standing in the cold wind and looking forward to it. Li Hui persuaded the king of Jiangxia to return to the tent to avoid the wind and snow, but he coughed lightly and refused: "In the past, I followed my father's side, and I also had several relationships with my brothers. It's been a few years now, and I miss it a lot. ”

Li Hui didn't persuade any more, squinting his eyes and reviewing the words between them, trying to figure out some details that didn't quite go right with his intuition.

At this time, I saw several horses galloping from afar, covered in wind and snow. After seeing several people in the Shili Pavilion from afar, they immediately gradually turned over and dismounted, revealing their faces that were red from the cold. The middle-aged man led by him was dressed in a big coat, rode his horse to the pavilion, jumped off the horse, and said with a smile: "You are waiting here, but I am late." ”

He was about forty years old, tall and strong, with a military demeanor, and a smile on his face that seemed extremely easy-going and easy to get close to. After greeting each other with Li Hui, Li Jing, Jiangxia Junwang, Wang Zixian and others, he looked at Li Ren and sighed: "Da Lang, you have grown so big...... faint love and sigh did not seem to be weakened by the long parting.

Li Ren's eyes were slightly red, tears couldn't help but welled up, and he cried: "Grandpa......"

The father and son looked at each other silently, which made all the onlookers couldn't help but be touched. However, Li Hui looked at them, but he always felt that something was wrong. However, both father and son were very strange to him, and for a while, it was difficult for him to detect what had gone wrong.
