Xia Xun had no choice but to take the county lord Xiǎo to the north together.

A young man, with a handsome and lovely xiǎo girl, is too eye-catching, and. Along the way, I had already faintly heard that the Zhongshan Palace, and asked the officials along the way to Bashu and Beiping to pay attention to the whereabouts of the county lord. Xia Xun had no choice but to dress up Xu Ming'er as a xiǎo scholar. Originally. He was also worried that this pampered eldest sister was used to being waited for, and he didn't want to pretend to be a xiǎoxiǎo scholar, and he didn't want Xu Ming'er to be very interested in this new identity.

Because she is pretending to be a scholar, she can't eat so well, and Xia Xun found that this delicate and expensive princess is actually not so picky about eating. Of course, she doesn't eat bad food if there is good food, but if the conditions don't allow it, she won't pick and choose. As long as things are clean, Xia Xun can't help but look at her with admiration.

On this day, when I arrived at Jinan Mansion, because Xia Xun was here last time, he was also a man of the hour, and he was worried about being seen by acquaintances, so he did not enter the city, but stayed at a Xiǎo inn in Chengxiao.

He pretended to be a traveling scholar. Those who bring a scholar are naturally well-off. Therefore, when eating, I asked for the only private room.

The so-called private room here is nothing more than a separate table separated by a screen, and the sound of the inside and outside is heard. So neither of them spoke, just ate quietly.

But the people outside were talking, "The voice came to the room from time to time.

"Whatever else you say, the blind can see the emperor's intentions. This is clearly a cutting of the domain. ”。

"It's nothing to cut the domain, Brother Ji doesn't know the luàn of the Seven Kings? Sooner or later, the feudal domains will become a scourge to the court, and the emperor is here to make the country eternal......

"Xianning" You are too naïve. From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, how many kings have guarded the world? Zhou divided the world, and the country was divided for 800 years: Qin did not divide the feud, and established the state and county" II died. What about Han. The kings of the feudal sons were divided, but the kings also gave birth to luàn. But the power of the kings has been curtailed, is the world stable? There are princes on the outside, and there are ten permanent servants on the inside. The Han Dynasty has been passed down for thousands of generations? The Tang and Song dynasties were not divided, and the longest was only 300 years. In the final analysis, whether the country is eternal "can't rely on the feudal kings......

Xia Xun's heart moved. Ji Gang, Gao Xianning? I didn't expect to see each other here when Daming Lake was goodbye in the past. It's just that there is a Xiǎo county lord by his side, but it is inconvenient to go out and meet each other.

Gao Xianning said: "There are no feudal domains. The country may not be eternal, but it can be divided into feudal domains, and there is finally one more source of disaster, and from this point of view, the emperor is not wrong to cut the domain. If the feudal lords are aware of current affairs, they should take the initiative to ask the imperial court to cut the feudal domain." Someday. The army is overwhelmed, and it is too late to regret it......

Ji Gang sneered. said: "The emperor wants to seize the military power." The kings are just a prince. Qin and Han dynasties, Tang, Song and Yuan, the prince was crowned king, this is an ancient example, but the emperor stopped here? The kings of Zhou, the kings of Qi, and the kings of Dai have all been reduced to commoners. ，”

Gao Xianning said unhappily: "Brother Ji's words are not right. That's because they are lawless, and they are taking it upon themselves. ”。

Ji Gang said with a smile: "The king of Qi is guilty" but the crime is not to cut the knight, the king of Zhou sent Yunnan, what is the crime. He's going to rebel? Do you believe it, King Zhou is known as a virtuous person, if I remember correctly, "Xianning also highly respected King Zhou......"

Gao Xianning said: "King Zhou is not guilty" I don't know. But I know that if you want to cut the Yan Domain, then you should cut the King of Zhou, who calls them the brothers of the same mother. The most taboo in the court is King Yan, who has led the border army for a long time. Now that he is the head of the feudal domain, he has long harbored bad intentions, and the court is taking precautions to avoid greater disasters. ”

Xu Ming'er stopped her chopsticks and listened to her ears, "Her face is a little pale."

Ji Gang laughed, his voice paused slightly, and then said: "This is the outskirts of the city, and there are not many idle people." My brother will say a few words to you. Even if King Yan wants to be a prince of peace, is it possible? The emperor wants military power, and King Yan has it: The emperor transferred the three guards of Yanshan to the border, and King Yan gave it, which makes King Yan have long been anti-minded and deliberately rebel? If it were you, would you be so opposed? The military power is gone, the three guards of the palace are also jiāo, and all the seal officials of the Beiping Military Political and Legal Department have been replaced, which one who wants to rebel is willing to let it go to this step and not rebel? ……

Gao Xianning said: "According to you, King Yan is loyal to the court?" If this is the case, he understands the emperor's worries, as a courtier, why doesn't he share the worries of the monarch's father, and take the initiative to ask for the reduction of the domain, thinking that the kings are an example? ，。

Ji Gang said: "Xianning, you don't have a backache when you sit and talk." Let King Yan take the initiative to ask for a cut of the domain, you are stupid to read, aren't you? Why didn't King Yan go to the table to ask for a cut of the domain? You'll have to ask about it."

Gao Xianning said: "What is the matter with the emperor? ……

Ji Gang said frankly: "If the emperor just wants to cut the feudal domain and avoid the feudal domains from doing luàn, then he has already collected the military power, why don't you stop it?" If the emperor just wanted to avoid the feudal domains as luàn, then he accepted the three guards of Henan. Wouldn't it be okay to order King Zhou to return to Beijing to live idle? The kings of the Song Dynasty were all such idle princes, and in the end of the Song Dynasty, did there be a prince who rebelled? Why did the emperor cut his uncle to the people, send him to Yunnan, and send him to the Jedi?

Let's talk about the king of Yan, the king of Yan's military power jiāo. The three guards of Yanshan are also jiāo, and the guards of the upper and lower guards of the mansion are now at most a thousand people, if the emperor is not at ease, then how can the emperor of Yan be relieved? King Yan is the head of the feudal domains, with great military achievements and unparalleled prestige, can he really ask the emperor to return to Beijing to be an idle prince? If the emperor has this kind of boldness, then the king of Zhou, the king of Qi, and the acting king should be an idle king in Beijing now, instead of assigning Yunnan, imprisoning Fengyang, and detaining Bashu. Three commoners, two prisoners......

Gao Xianning was furious: "Ji Gang, you are speaking more and more presumptuously, and you dare to criticize your father!" ……

Ji Gang said, "You have to get it, you take the big hat to buckle me again, you are reasonable, take out the big hat of the monarch, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will be reasonable?" ”

Gao Xianning patted the case and said: "Ji Gang, you ......", Ji Gang said: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I didn't find it when I came to Jinan to find Yù Jue." It's frustrating enough, our brothers have been friends for many years. Don't be angry about these things, shopkeeper, settle accounts! ”

Immediately after that, I heard the sound of the table and chairs" It seemed that the two of them stood up, and then they heard Ji Gang say in a strange manner: "I just suddenly remembered what Qin Prime Minister Li Si said to his son before he died, "I yù and Ruo, and the yellow dog is retracted" are all out of Cai Dong mén chasing the cunning rabbit, how can it be done! Gao Xianning said coldly: "What do you mean?" ，。

Ji Gang said leisurely: "I mean." If the Nose King is really as you said, take the initiative to ask for a cut of the domain, I'm afraid the end will be worse than Li Si, Li Si will leave a son, the three sons of King Yan, all of them are dragons and tigers, if King Yan really bows his head to his ears, hehe. Ha ha.......

"Whoa!".

The tables and chairs sounded suddenly, but it was Gao Xian Ningshu who left his seat. I heard Ji Gang shout angrily: "Xianning." Slow down: "Won't I say it?" Alas, why am I so much in debt, and I can't pay for this meal? Knowing that his family background is far inferior to him, it's true", muttered, Ji Gang stumbled over the food money" and chased him out.

The potato pouted xiǎo mouth and stacked chopsticks. Then put the bowls in a pile. said: "I'm full, go back to the room to rest, you can eat slowly...... As he spoke, he got up and walked away.

Xia Xun watched her leave inexplicably. Hiccuped. Seeing that the bowl of thick white and fragrant mutton soup in front of Ming'er barely moved, he hurriedly pushed away the soup bowl he had drunk, and brought her bowl of soup over and took a sip with taste. Then I drank it beautifully. Wine......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xia Xun was full of wine and food. Slowly pacing back to the backyard "Walking in the patio." Suddenly, I saw that the light was still on in Ming'er's room, and a silhouette of a young NV was reflected on the window. She held her cheeks in her hand, motionless, and the silhouettes of her eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose were clear and agile. It's very tranquil. Amplification by light. Her neat, long eyelashes blinked slightly. Extraordinary.

Xia Xun was slightly surprised, because this Xiǎo county lord adhered to a good family education and had always gone to bed early and got up early.

He walked over...... Knocked on mén. He coughed and said, "xiǎo flute." Haven't slept yet? ”。

In order to avoid revealing her identity, Xia Xun gave her a fake name all the way down from Yangzhou. It's all greeted like this.

Ming'er replied, "No." ,, The voice was a little muffled, Xia Xun pushed Mén away, and said with concern: "What's the matter, but it's cold?" At this time, it has entered the early winter season. The further north you go, the colder it gets. At that time, if a cold and fever developed into a serious illness, it would be fatal, this aunt was now by his side, and Xia Xun did not dare to be careless.

"No......

Another short answer, the pure and lovely Ming'er with her cheeks in her hand turned her eyes slightly towards him, and suddenly asked, "You say, does my second brother-in-law really want to rebel?" ，。

Xia Xun was silent and did not answer.

Ming'er asked again: "You say, is it right or wrong for the emperor to cut the domain?" Xia Xun still didn't answer, he suddenly felt that he was a little underwhelmed, he should go back to his room to sleep, now it's okay. Asking people such a difficult question......

Ming'er sighed softly: "I knew that you wouldn't answer......

Xia Xun hesitated for a moment, and said slowly in a very deep tone: "Sometimes, you can't say who is right and who is wrong about one thing: sometimes, alone. It's hard to tell if he's a good guy. Or the bad guys. People are complex. Things are sometimes complicated, not like paper and ink, black is black, white is white. ”

These words are so philosophical, and they will definitely be able to bluff this xiǎo Luo lì!

Xia Xun was a little smug. Ming'er gave him two sanitary balls: "Hey, your official is not big, but you are very slippery......

Xia Xun Khan, he forgot, although Ming'er is xiǎo, he is a person from Zhongshan Wangfu, and he may not see much else, but Guan'er has definitely seen a lot, and this kind of official tone has probably been heard from xiǎo. I can hear that the cocoon is coming.

茗儿xiǎo sighed like a child, and said, "You're right, I shouldn't be too careful. I'll still go to Peking with you, but I won't go to the eldest sister first, if I go now, the eldest sister will be very embarrassed. It will also make it more difficult for the brother-in-law and the court to get along. Besides, if the eldest brother-in-law really ...... "I'm there." Maybe it will affect our Xu family......

Xia Xun said happily: "The county lord of xiǎo is sensible. ”。

Ming'er smiled bitterly: "I'd rather never understand these things......

Xia Xun said: "People always have to grow up. Ming'er raised her eyes. Gently asked, "Am I an adult?" ……

Xia Xun said: "Yes, the county lord has grown up. ”

Ming'er smiled and sighed faintly, that look really has the taste of an NV child's home
