Chapter 401: Circle
Hongxi Garden.
Su Miao sat in the room and drank soothing soup, she needed to calm her nerves now, she was a good peace-loving girl, the shocking killing scene that was indescribable in words before made her difficult to accept, and from time to time her head could still echo the exciting sound of blades and all kinds of dying screams, which made her mind messy, and she always felt that the aftertaste of her private life was too rich, and it was beyond her imagination.
Lin Yan sat beside her, it was hard to imagine that Lin Yan was much calmer than her, she sat at the round table, her hands resting on the table, without saying a word, staring directly at the shrugging beauty bottle on the table in a daze.
Su Miao drank half a bowl of soothing soup, and now she wanted to speak, so she stared at Lin Yan's strange expression for a long time, and asked:
"Xiaolinzi, aren't you afraid at all?"
Lin Yan was stunned for a while, and turned her head slowly, because her movements were too slow, her expression seemed very calm, she glanced at Su Miao, and said lightly:
"I will also encounter an occasion like today when I go out with the prince, although I don't go out with the prince much, but this is not the first time I have encountered such a thing, the prince...... He also has many enemies. ”
Does it mean that habit becomes natural?
Su Miao blinked her eyes twice in astonishment, looked at her and said sneeringly: "It's not easy for you!" ”
Lin Yan was silent for a while, lowered her eyes, and didn't know whether she was bitter or uncomfortable, she pulled the corners of her mouth and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Su Miao couldn't say anything more.
"Where's Ah Wei?" After another while, Lin Yan suddenly remembered. Look around.
Su Miao also looked around and shook her head: "I probably went to see his mother." ”
Lin Yan nodded, thinking that King Rui, Mrs. Hui, and Mrs. Nan seemed to be staying in Xueyi Village for a while. She was uncomfortable.
Su Miao also remembered this question, she was not interested in her in-laws, but the Mrs. Nan who was a little weird and flamboyant in her personality but quite amazing, she thought about it for a long time, and suddenly came to Lin Yan's side and asked in a low voice:
"Xiao Linzi, do you recognize Mrs. Nan?"
"Of course. She is the concubine of King Rui, and she also lives in King Rui's mansion. Lin Yan nodded and replied.
"What is the origin of Mrs. Nan?"
"I heard that she is the second daughter of the king of Runan, and the king of Runan and the princess of Runan have been married for many years and have only one daughter. The daughter died of illness very early, Mrs. Nan was a child born to the outer chamber of the king of Runan, and was taken back to the palace by the king of Runan when she was twelve years old, and the princess of Runan loved her very much because of the loss of her daughter. Later, the king and his wife passed away one after another. Mrs. Nan also became the side concubine of the prince after the death of her parents, and then gave birth to the lord of Lingzhi and the lord of Lily of the valley. ”
Su Miao tilted her head and thought for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "So Concubine Nan is also a county lord, since she is a county lord, she should be pampered and pampered, why is her skills so good?" ”
"The king of Runan is a military general. In the past, the king of Runan followed the king of Liang to serve the Yue Liang kingdom and made outstanding military achievements, and the Xiayang kingdom on the border at that time repeatedly invaded. The people of Xiayang were barbaric and cruel, and they hung the people on the border of our country on the city wall as live targets to shoot and kill for fun. Wantonly bullying the girls of Yue Liang Kingdom, King Liang was angry with the crown, led an army of 100,000 to level the Xiayang Kingdom, and spent a year directly attacking the imperial capital of the Xiayang Kingdom, slaughtering the entire royal family of the Xiayang Kingdom. Speaking of this, Lin Yan paused, and her tone was a little complicated, "King Liang is a very radical person, when he attacked Xiayang Kingdom, he almost wiped out the entire Xiayang Kingdom, whether it was the people or the royal family, he slaughtered a city when he walked to a place, and stood in the position of the humiliated people of Yue Liang Kingdom, this approach is really very happy, but ...... There's always some cruelty. Even in Xia Yang Kingdom, there are good people, and King Liang has slaughtered all the good and bad people. Although King Liang was a powerful general, he liked to kill, so after his death, people have always had mixed reviews of him. ”
"King Liang? Is it the prince of the royal family? Is it related to Xiao Weiwei's father? Su Miao asked suspiciously.
"No, no, King Liang should be the next generation of his father-in-law, and he is the same generation as the emperor. King Liang was not born in the clan, he was originally from the He clan of Liangdu. King Liang, King Runan and Emperor Xian grew up together, and the two of them were the attendants of the Emperor, and the relationship between King Liang and Emperor Xian was like the relationship between the prince and the crown prince. It's a pity that when the first emperor was still the prince, the He family was exiled because of violating the law, and King Liang began to join the army when he was exiled to the border pass, and later the first emperor became the crown prince, and then the first emperor became the emperor. The period of the first emperor is not like now, at that time, the national strength was not as strong as now, and the strong enemies were around, and those foreign races with strong folk customs were eyeing the land of the Central Plains, because the king of Liang repeatedly made military exploits, and was very trouble-solving for the first emperor, and almost swept away all the foreign tribes that threatened the Yue Liang country, and the emperor was very important, and then the king of Liang became the first prince with a different surname in the Yue Liang country, and became the righteous brother of the first emperor. King Liang was grateful to the former emperor, and he had been fighting for the emperor to expand his territory and conquer everywhere, and he did not have a family until his death. King Liang was killed on the battlefield at the age of forty, the news reached Liangdu, the emperor was very sad, after the funeral of the prince, because the king of Runan was the most powerful subordinate of the king of Liang, and he also won the trust of the emperor, so the king of Runan replaced the king of Liang, and finally became the king of Runan because of his military exploits. However, even if he was named the 'King of Runan', it was still not as beautiful as the 'King of Liang' back then. ”
Su Miao nodded with confused eyes, the affairs of the royal family are really complicated, just a few words Su Miao made up all kinds of possibilities in her brain, and her brain made up for it in the end, and what surprised her even more was that Lin Yan actually knew about the old things in the court like this:
"You know a lot!"
Lin Yan was silent, paused, and sighed lightly: "I'm not good at talking, if I don't inquire about the ins and outs of these things, if I go out and talk nonsense, I will embarrass the prince, and if I get into big trouble because I said the wrong thing, it will be really bad." ”
Su Miao was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt embarrassed, she thought that all Lin Yan did was to escape, but she had also made a lot of efforts in the past ten years. Although most of the efforts may have been in vain. Also, even if you work hard, it doesn't necessarily pay off, and some of them are invalid because you work hard but don't work hard to get the point. Some people are useless even if they work hard to get to the right place, and it is useless to not be satisfied with this lack of talent. Who says hard work makes up for it? No matter how beautifully the bowl is drawn, it can only be used for eating, not for flower arrangement.
"Speaking of kings with different surnames, I also heard about one two days ago, King Jing'an." Su Miao suddenly remembered and said it.
"King Jing'an," Lin Yan frowned. "It's a bit similar, King Liang is the companion of the previous emperor, and King Jing'an is the companion of today. Jinshang also attaches great importance to King Jing'an, and his rewards and favors are great, but the difference is that Jinshang has his father-in-law by his side. No matter how high the status of King Jing'an is, he can't go beyond his father-in-law. ”
Su Miao supported her cheek with one hand. Scratching his cheeks with his fingers, he remembered the strange behavior of Princess Jingyang who suddenly came to the door that day, remembered the county lord of Lingrou and her brother Zhu Muxi, and then thought of their father King Jing'an, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't imagine what kind of person King Jing'an was, so he simply asked Lin Yan:
"You have seen King Jing'an, what kind of person is he?"
Lin Yan shook her head: "Probably since I got married, King Jing'an's family moved out of Liangdu." I haven't met him. ”
"Isn't he highly regarded by the emperor, why did he move out of Liangdu?" Su Miao asked suspiciously.
Lin Yan was stunned. After thinking about it, he replied: "I seem to have heard the prince say this, at that time, the people who survived the massacre in the Xiayang Kingdom gathered in the border city, intending to recover the Xiayang Kingdom, causing a lot of riots, and the King of Jing'an was ordered to guard it, and the town was guarded for more than ten years, and the remnants of the Xiayang Kingdom did not make any waves, otherwise it would definitely be another shock for Yue Liang Kingdom." Yue Liang finally recovered from the war to the current Guotai Min'an, these generals have made great contributions, but the ridiculous thing is that those civil officials in the court are rigid one by one, and they are 'rules' and 'bans' at every turn, and the generals can't show it, and King Jing'an did not continue to stay in Liangdu because of this. At that time, the officials jointly signed a copy of him, saying that he was corrupt and perverted the law, regarded human life as a mustard, and committed a heinous crime, and the emperor really couldn't stop the mouths of the people, so he sent King Jing'an to the border to guard the town. ”
"Is it really corrupt and perverts the law, and treats human life like a mustard?" Su Miao was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Whoever says things in the officialdom clearly, it is true that there are more people who say it, and the prince also said that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and none of the people who have been in the officialdom are clean."
Su Miao thought about it and nodded, it is indeed such a truth.
Escape Garden.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Liang Jin hurriedly coming in from outside the gate, and the father and son happened to meet and glanced at each other.
Aftertaste stretched a face, standing motionless.
Liang Jin laughed, stretched out his hand and beckoned: "Son, son, come here!" ”
The aftertaste didn't move, and when I saw that he greeted him twice, I reluctantly walked over and asked bluntly:
"Why?"
Liang Jin pinched his face very hard: "You kid has a tense face all day long, like someone owes you twenty-five or eighty-thousand!" ”
Aftertaste pushed his hand away in annoyance, his expression became darker and darker, he lowered his voice, and asked coldly:
"Which of you was calculating me today?"
"You kid, you actually use the word 'calculation' with your father, no big or small!" Liang Jin said unhappily.
Aftertaste frowned impatiently and annoyedly, and asked in a deep voice, "What is Mrs. Nan doing here?" ”
"You ask me? Why don't you just ask her. Liang Jin replied seriously, without the slightest intention of joking.
After hearing this, he frowned more and more gloomily, was silent for a while, and said in a cold voice:
"Today's assassination is simply a premeditated temptation."
"You can see that?" Liang Jin asked with a smile.
"Sure enough. Princess? Aftertaste grimaced and asked coldly.
"This still needs to be investigated, but judging from the results, she is the most beneficial person in today's assassination." Liang Jin replied nonchalantly.
Aftertaste's brows furrowed even tighter, and after a pause, he asked in a condensed voice:
"You and your mother, why are you so jealous of the princess, just because the princess is behind the Wei family, or is it ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, Liang Jin had already put his arm on his shoulder, and he only felt that his shoulders were sinking, and he turned his head to face Liang Jin's smiling face.
"Son," he said, "I am your father, your mother is your mother, my father and mother really took a lot of effort and thought to let you be born safely, especially your mother, she has suffered a lot for you, although she doesn't say it, you can't see it from her face, but your mother really loves you." I'll say one more thing you don't like to hear, in fact, I don't want to say this kind of thing myself, but I always feel sorry for your big brother if I don't say it. The most sorry person in your father's life is your mother, and the second person who can't live is your eldest brother, and I don't have this strong feeling for you, because although I can't let you go to the family tree, but I give you everything I can give, but your eldest brother, he and his mother are really different, his temperament in his bones actually followed me, and his mother will be thunderous because of his temperament, but, in fact, it's not a bad thing to be attached to blood, there are so many people in the world, but there are only a few people who are really related to you. What a fate. Your eldest brother actually loves you very much, although he doesn't say it, and he can't tell it from his face, but he actually likes you a lot. I don't say this to let you and him do anything, just to say, don't shake between you because of the things of the previous generation, if you cherish each other's brotherly relationship, don't freeze because of your parents' affairs, and wait for your father and mother to be gone, really, there are only three of you brothers left, just like your father and your uncle, and now there is really only your father and your uncle. ”
Aftertaste listened in silence until he had finished speaking, then glanced at him, and asked impatiently:
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
Liang Jin paused, then smiled helplessly, and pinched Aftertaste's face again, Aftertaste slapped his hand away in annoyance, so Liang Jin tidied up his clothes for a while, and said seriously:
"Dad is going to see your mother now, your mother is probably shocked, her body is not very comfortable, Dad and Mom are going to live in your Zhuangzi for two days, you also go to see your future little daughter-in-law, the first time I encountered such a scene, I guess I was scared, I don't know if the two of you are going to blow it." He said with a gloating smile.
The aftertaste is fiery, and a face is gloomy.
Liang Jin smiled happily, crossed the main door of Yiyin Garden, and entered the door, but after entering the door, his mood was not so happy, because Pang Mengnan, who was a "madman" in his heart, was sitting on the soft couch under the window, pruning the picked osmanthus branches with scissors with great interest.
Hui Xiang sat on the other side of the soft couch, holding his forehead with one hand, closing his eyes and recuperating.
The room was silent, except for the occasional click of scissors, which was particularly harsh. (To be continued.) )
