Chapter 406: Royal Secrets

Yangzhou City.

It's a small shop in the city that isn't well-known.

The two men sat quietly in a very secluded corner.

The man holding the big sword was obviously dissatisfied with the former's choice of such a small shop and finding such a location, he placed the pitch-black big sword on the table, and said with some opinions: "I thought that with your status as the county commander of Yangzhou County, how could you entertain distinguished guests have to go to a place like Drunken Immortal Residence to eat and drink." ”

There was a hand that hurried the chopsticks basket that was blocking him to the side, and Chu Men said: "To entertain ordinary guests, you naturally want to go to the Drunken Immortal Residence, and guests like you can't go." ”

Huai Rui was not angry, he smiled and said, "What do you call a guest like me?" ”

"A guest from His Majesty's side."

Truman stared at Huai Ruili and said slowly.

Hearing this, Huai Ruili also paused.

Truman continued: "If a guest like you appears in Yangzhou City, it will bring me trouble. ”

Huai Ruili said with a smile: "My whereabouts have been clearly grasped by those people, I'm afraid even if you hide it, you won't be able to hide it." ”

Truman said slowly: "If you can't hide it, you have to hide it as much as possible." ”

Huai Ruili glanced at Truman, and said with a smile: "I remember that you were not so afraid of trouble before. ”

"Is it because of your wedding?"

Truman glanced at Huai Ruili, and didn't say anything more, just shouted outside: "Little Er, serve the wine." ”

The place where the two of them sat was hidden, and Xiao Er didn't notice when they were seated.

At this time, when he heard this shout, he was stunned for a while, and then ran over with a wine glass with a smile.

"Guest, your wine."

The place is hidden and relatively dark, and the two of them deliberately used a little true qi to confuse their vision to hide their faces, and Xiao Er, who doesn't know martial arts, naturally doesn't know the two.

Looking at the vague faces of the two, Xiao Er shook his head, and then retreated.

Huai Ruili took the initiative to pour wine for Truman, "When you first arrived in Kyoto, you were just a nineteen-year-old young man, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and was curious about everything. ”

is curious about everything, that is, he has just traveled to the ancient society, and he is naturally curious about everything.

And it is wrong not to be afraid of heaven and earth, at least, he is still afraid of the examination room, this is something engraved in his bones, otherwise he would not have answered the test paper so seriously at that time.

Truman didn't correct Huai Ruili's words, he just shook his head, and then began to drink.

It's not a good wine, it has a strong coarse grain flavor.

It was obviously inferior wine, but he drank it all anyway.

Seeing Truman drink it all, Huai Ruili smiled and drank it all.

But he didn't swallow it in his stomach, and he spit out the wine with great disgust, and then drank to Xiao Er outside: "Xiao Er, what kind of wine are you getting for me?" Uncle Ben wants good wine. ”

"Hurry up and get some good wine."

When Xiao Er heard this, he hurriedly took out the good wine and brought it to the table of the two.

Xiao Er left, and Truman asked suspiciously: "I remember that you didn't pick the quality of wine before, as long as it was wine." ”

Huai Ruili replied with a smile: "It's true that I don't pick wine, but it's not like a happy event is about to happen, so it's natural to pair it with good wine." ”

Truman blinked and handed the cup over.

Huai Ruili smiled and poured good wine for him.

And at this time, Truman said lightly: "You pay the bill." ”

Hearing this, Huai Ruili was directly stunned, and even the momentum of pouring wine stopped.

But looking at the former's serious appearance, he smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll pay the bill, you can let it go." ”

Truman looked into his cup, which was not yet full.

Huai Ruili naturally understood what the former meant, and after shaking his head again, he poured wine for it.

"That is, you, if it were anyone else, I would have slapped it a long time ago."

Truman raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, you dare to do the same. ”

Huai Ruili smiled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor doesn't need me to pour wine. ”

Full of wine.

Truman picked it up and drank it down.

Seeing that the former drank it all, Huai Ruili poured wine for himself, holding the wine glass, he said: "Time flies really fast, in the blink of an eye, you are going to hold a wedding, and your age is only weak." ”

"But the weak crown is not small, I think that at the beginning, His Majesty the Emperor was only fourteen years old, and he married the queen's mother."

Putting the wine glass on the table again, Truman said suspiciously: "Speaking of which, I have long wanted to ask, Your Majesty married the queen at the age of fourteen, why did more than ten years pass before giving birth to a little prince." ”

Huai Ruili's face changed slightly, he shook his head and said: "This matter is not a secret, but there are many obscurities, and it is inconvenient to talk about it in detail, but since you have come to this point, then you should also know the secret." ”

Truman pressed his ears.

Huai Ruili paused, and then continued: "Your Majesty loves the queen mother deeply, and he almost didn't go to the rest of the harem, you know. ”

Truman nodded.

His Majesty loves the queen deeply, and this matter has been spread throughout the Great Jin Dynasty.

Huai Ruili said: "And the queen mother is not childless, she gave birth to a little princess when Her Majesty was eighteen years old. ”

"It was also in this year that His Majesty officially ascended the throne."

"But, at this age, I will surrender to you."

"At that time, Your Majesty had no helper, and the first emperor just died, and he could no longer be blessed."

"At that time, he was the only one sitting on the throne."

"And such a throne, how can the eldest prince and the second prince not covet it?"

"It was only at this time that His Majesty had to resort to some unconventional means."

Truman said suspiciously: "Unconventional means? ”

Huai Ruili nodded and said, "Yes, he went to ask for help from the King of Ease." ”

"Relying on the army of the King of Carefree, he successfully defeated the second prince of the eldest prince and seized the throne."

"But he also paid a heavy price."

"In addition to countless gold and silver treasures, the princess, who was less than three months old, was also given to the territory of the King of Freedom and reduced to a proton."

"Asking for help from a courtier, but still need to take the princess as a hostage, the grief and indignation in Your Majesty's heart naturally need not be spoken."

"He loved the princess as much as he loved the queen."

"But if you don't exchange princesses, I'm afraid that the world of Dajin will also fall into hell because of those two rebellious princes."

Hearing this, Truman's heart was also moved.

Huai Ruili took a sip of the wine he poured while speaking, and said: "So, Your Majesty's hatred for King Xiaoyao is so deep, so he did not hesitate to endure humiliation for more than ten years, in order to clear the country within a country in the Great Jin Dynasty, and also to regain his own children." ”
