The Siyuan in Luojing City is like a mustard seed hidden not far from the palace, which is exquisite and elegant.

It was also part of the garden attached to the residence of a favored emperor of the Chen Dynasty. It's just that with the fall of the original owner, the palace building was bulldozed, and the garden was divided into several pieces and given to Zai Fu Xungui. After a hundred years of changes, it was demolished, demolished, rebuilt, and finally presented to Emperor Jing by an interesting old man more than a year ago to entertain special guests that he could not arrange for the time being.

For example, Manyun's master Xu Ne also lived in a small courtyard in Siyuan for a few days, and thought about some things that could determine the fate of a person's life.

But Xiao Rui never imagined that he would secretly arrange for his own son to live here.

"Let's go see Hachi first!" , Xiao Rui, who had been standing in the central hall for a long time in his usual clothes, decided to turn right first and immediately raise his feet, completely ignoring the hard work of the guards who had to keep up at any time without warning.

The two brothers, Xiao Ze and Xiao Hong, were tightly behind His Majesty Emperor Jing.

The old dynasty changes the new generation, the sun and the moon change the sky. And Xiao Zhan and Xiao Long, who were locked up in Siyuan, only stepped on their bodies a few times, and they were hurriedly remanded in their original places. But if we continue to hold on, there is always a danger that the lies that we have thought about or prepared for war will be dismantled.

Therefore, as soon as the court dispersed on the first day of the seventh month, the Xiao family's father and son appeared here in a hurry.

As soon as he saw his father and brother at first glance, Xiao Long, who was originally looking sad, cried loudly. The boy who was not yet seventeen years old had snot and tears on his face, more like an ignorant child.

"Why go to the Temple of Great Mercy and Grace?" , Waiting for the howl on the other side to stop for a while, Xiao Rui, who had seen enough monkey play, slapped the table hard and asked coldly.

Xiao Hong, who was standing behind him with his hands down, also focused his eyes on the young man opposite, as a person in the game, he also wanted to hear the answer clearly.

"Father, if the son said that he wanted to rush to report to the eldest brother. Can you believe it? Xiao Long snorted, the sound of the urn correspondingly, and his red eyes looked like a timid rabbit.

"Boss and Little Six, do you believe it?" , Xiao Rui turned around and asked the two sons who were standing with him. Laughed angrily.

"Faith!" , the resounding answers were in unison, as if they had been discussed in advance. Xiao Hong couldn't help but look at the eldest brother's calm side face, and his heart was in a trance, he was willing to think about the eighth brother's motives better, but the eldest brother's response seemed to be more affirmative.

"Letter? Believe in the ghost! Xiao Rui's roar was even more angry. Obviously, the response of the two sons involved was what he wanted to hear, but it was so refreshing, but it made him a little dissatisfied. It seems that the so-called emperor's heart is unpredictable. A small seedling has been planted in Xiao Rui's body.

Xiao Ze glared at Xiao Long fiercely, and pouted his chin imperceptibly at Xiao Rui's back.

Xiao Long was stunned for a moment, then pounced on Xiao Rui's legs, pulled his throat and cried, "Father! Father! Father...... It really is. When someone from Tianxiangyuan came to inform me, I felt that it was an opportunity. If I can get ahead of everyone, I can not only hold the handle of the eldest brother, but also let him get my affection, and I can help me. ”

"What do you want Xiao Ze to help you?"

"Helped Song Ji of Nuan Lian Yuan to raise his position!" , which has been provided to the real place. Xiao Long simply stretched out his sleeves and wiped the tears on his face, and said in a dumb voice: "When Fang entered Luojing last year, his son and third brother went to Shihou's family banquet to eat a few wines. and saw his children with a good family, among which there was a girl who claimed to be studying art in Tianxiang was very enthusiastic. ”

The hospitable girl not only took her brother on a tour of her garden, but also boasted that she was well-informed about the Tianxiang Garden. There are many daughters of eunuchs in Tianxiangyuan, and the decrees that have not yet been promulgated by the imperial court, they all have ways to string each other and get the latest information.

Xiao Long and the third brother Xiao Yuan didn't believe it. casually asked the girl to help check it. As a result, the next day, Shi Jianu asked them to go to Tianxiangyuan. A copy of the paper was clearly lit up in front of their eyes......

Mrs. Xu took the old people of Yunzhou into the Golden Harvest Garden, and Xiao Long secretly went to see his biological mother Song Ji. Although he moved from Yunzhou to Luojing, the former Duke of Jingguo will ascend the throne, but the concubines who came from Nuanlian Courtyard seem to be in the same situation as before.

"At the time. The third brother has accepted Shi as a concubine, so I will go to the third brother's mansion and ask her to see if I can find a preliminary inner palace seal. Xiao Long lowered his eyes, which were no longer crying, stared at the brick cracks on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "In a few days, Tianxiangyuan asked me to go." ”

Song Ji's name was not on the list in black and white.

"That's what you're working with Tianxiangyuan for? Instead of looking for me directly, he went to follow a group of to set up a plot against my brother? Xiao Rui stood in front of Xiao Long angrily, and said sharply: "I'll go back to the palace and chop the Song Ji you want to help into minced meat!" ”

"Daddy! No! Xiao Long's whole body lay on Xiao Rui's lap and cried loudly again, "That's the biological mother who gave birth to a child!" For more than ten years, parents and children have been separated from each other, if I kill her again, how can I live, how can I live, how can I live......"

Xiao Rui stiffened and let Xiao Long hold him, motionless.

Seven years after Yongde, none of the children born to the Xiao family were placed in front of their biological mothers, and the detailed investigation was only because of the legacy of the year, or to cover up some undebunkable facts. I used to be a detached spectator, but now how do I comment?

Xiao Long's cry made Xiao Hong's mind chaotic, and he knelt beside Xiao Long with a plop, and kowtowed again and again to ask his father to calm his anger.

"Father! Song Ji's background is low, but she should also be able to be a mother and a child. Yunzhou Nuanlian Courtyard moved into the palace, and those women who gave birth to younger brothers and sisters should be given a place. Xiao Ze also knelt down slowly, and the corner of his eyes swept lightly on Xiao Hong's side face, "For the son of man, it is also human nature to seek his biological mother." ”

Xiao Hong's head leaned lower.

"You, me up!" , Xiao Rui grabbed Xiao Long's arm, his eyes showed a fierce light as if he was going to be devoured alive, and then he crushed his teeth and shouted at Xiao Ze, "How are you going to clean up this rabbit cub?" ”

"Do you have to clean up a nest?" , Xiao Ze stared at Xiao Rui's red eyes, and sighed regretfully: "Tianxiangyuan hooks everyone's bait is different, and he is just the one who swallows it and runs into the net." ”

Speaking of cleanliness, after June 15, the doors and courtyards of each house are not really clean. People who are not involved are just fifty steps and a hundred steps with a smile.

It's like holding the soldier and escorting the messenger to Xiao Yuan in front of Emperor Jing's majesty, and at the same time, he quickly returned the unknown Shi to his mother's house. Later, the woman's body was left at the gate by her biological father.

Xiao Ze whispered to Xiao Xiaoba that he would not let him see his mother who would be in a meat jar after he went out, so he sighed lightly and followed Emperor Jing and Xiao Hong, and then went to visit another unlucky brother.

Xiao Zhan, the fourth elder of the Xiao family, was more outrageously wrong, and his attitude of admitting guilt was much better. As soon as Xiao Rui entered the door, he didn't repeat the reasons for asking for forgiveness, bowed his head and confessed, and asked himself to be a pawn for the people. Guilty of meritorious service.

How is that possible? The new emperor who had just been the new emperor for a few days drove his own son into the death squad, and the world guessed that the spitting stars of abuse could flood the palace.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat! The Xiao family, which was once thin, finally recovered its vitality, and also happily seized the Chen Dynasty and became angry. But now, the sons can't help their fathers and mothers, and the sons who grow up are infighting, which is really unacceptable to Xiao Rui, who has always been a father and son soldier.

stared at Xiao Zhan, who was kneeling honestly, but he still felt that his whole body was sticky and covered with Xiao Xiaoba's snot. Xiao Ruiyi waved his hand happily, and directly pushed the matter of Siyuan to his eldest son Xiao Ze. Throw your sleeves away.

Seeing his father's back leave, Xiao Ze didn't ask Xiao Zhan any more, but asked the attendant to prepare tea, and the three brothers sat together, chatting with tea as before.

"It's scary and ridiculous, isn't it?" , Xiao Ze raised his sleeve and moved a small cup to Xiao Hong's eyes. There was a slight drop of gray on the wrist.

Xiao Hong couldn't help but glance sideways, and Xiao Ze withdrew his hand with a smile. Moved freely and caged his sleeves.

Scary what? Ridiculous what? Xiao Zhan, who was sitting opposite the eldest brother, raised his eyes to look at the new prince who had lost a lot of weight, and his squinted eyes flashed a little thoughtful.

"The fourth brother was actually the most meticulous among the brothers in the past, but this time he was a little more dry. Is it because he set up Northern Chu and confiscated several big bandits in Jiangbei, so he was infected with more bold and adventurous banditry? On that day, it would be better if Shen Yue and the others had visited it again. ”。 Xiao Ze asked with a smile indifferently, as if he was teaching his younger brother how to improve his skills as a traitor.

"When will my case of killing the daughter of the Chu family be concluded? If Tianxiang Nu is already punished by everyone, wouldn't I have merit without fault? Xiao Zhan's cold eyes swept to Xiao Hong's face, suppressing his anger. Under the sudden reversal of the situation in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple. He really fell for Xiao Xiaoliu, not only confessed his guilt, but even wrote a confession before going down the mountain, signed and detained.

"Originally, if there was no murder, the fourth brother, you would be crowned the king of Chu and govern the land of the original Chuzhou and Pingzhou." , Xiao Ze laughed and caught the attention of his two younger brothers, and then looked at Xiao Zhan sincerely and said, "It's a pity that my brother troubled you to take the blame, and your knighthood will be affected." ”

"The murder of the Chu Nu was my mastermind. Because at that time, I didn't expect to deal with Tianxiangyuan for the crime of treason, so I first reached an agreement with the Chu family, and they came out with me as a guarantee. Xiao Hong also turned sideways and apologized to Xiao Zhan.

"Xiao Xiaoliu, don't do your business! It is not difficult to turn this case over with the Tianxiang matter, if I am not mistaken, now it should be to let the Chu family keep silent about the matter of their daughter entering Tianxiang, so as to splash this basin of dirty water thoroughly. This is not what you Xiao Xiaoliu can do! Xiao Zhan's fine eyes glanced at Xiao Ze's face with a slight disdain.

"I think it's good to press you like this!" , Xiao Ze crossed his arms and smiled, secretly joking.

"What a big brother!" , Xiao Zhan ignored his smugness, turned his face to Xiao Hong and said: "Third brother Huangpi slaughtered the city, I used your letter as bait to hurt Xu Ne in Northern Chu...... Most of the backs are the handwriting of our good big brother. Xiao Xiaoliu, until now do you still think that in the Great Ci'en Temple, he is a victim who strayed into the Tianxiang Bureau? ”

"The soldier is treacherous! I understand some truth! Xiao Hong sighed and nodded at Xiao Zhan seriously.

"You!" , Xiao Zhan raised and released one finger, and his face showed a depression of hatred for iron and steel.

Xiao Zele laughed out loud, "Yes! Slaughter the city, use the room...... Speaking of which, I was behind the scenes. Doesn't this also mean that you are not as good as me, so I won with confidence? All right! After all, I was a few years older and was born as an eldest brother. You guys? Wait a few more years...... The skin is thicker, the heart is darker, and it will be fine. ”

"Brother!" , Faintly feeling that Xiao Ze's smile was desolate, Xiao Hong couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Terrible and ridiculous!" , Xiao Ze's laughter stopped abruptly, his eyes fixed on the cup of tea between his fingers, and said in a low voice: "I still remember that in Yunzhou, we used to drink tea and chat like this." At that time, we always joked about several emperors of the Chen Dynasty, sighing incredibly how there could be such fathers and sons in the world, and how could there be such brothers. It's just a bunch of brutes without humanity. ”

A faint mist appeared in Xiao Hong's eyes.

"And then, we all grew up. Then, one by one, it became more and more like the ...... we once hated Brute! ”

A teacup slammed to the ground and shattered into powder in an instant. A line of blood quickly flowed from Xiao Ze's fingertips to his wrist, bright red as a ...... (To be continued......)
