Chapter 336: Becoming a Family (3)
Mu Gong is two years younger than Zhao Zhi, this year is also a full sixty, when Li Xun saw him again, almost unrecognizable, the former Mu Gong, although silent, cautious, but give people a feeling of very spirit, long hair, more black, less white, this is more than a year has not seen, the hair is all white, the previous straight body, now there are some curves, the face is full of wrinkles, the whole person looks, than Li Xun last saw it, more than ten years older.
"Dog, you're here."
Mu Cheng took a broom to clean up in the yard, and when he saw Li Xun, he was not surprised or surprised, and his face was very calm.
"You seem to know I'm coming."
Li Xun looked at Mu Gong, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with long hair cut into short hair, looking much older, but his whole body was very neat, like an old man from an ordinary family.
"You're a child of conscience."
Li Xun smiled and said half-jokingly: "Before I came, I originally thought that you would become a messy old man, but now it seems that your old situation is not bad." ”
Mu Gong shook his head and sighed softly: "I have followed the emperor for so many years, I am used to being clean, I am not afraid of you laughing, I have two sets of clothes all over my body, one summer and one winter, washed at night and worn during the day, and there is no one to change." ”
The smile on Li Xun's face disappeared and he was silent.
Mu Gong patted Li Xun on the shoulder, put down the broom in his hand, and then invited Li Xun into the next room.
This is the residence of the shepherd, just one room, the furnishings in it are extremely simple, a bed, a cabinet, a table, and a book on the table, Wu Zong Benji.
Li Xun put the package on his body on the table, then picked up the book of Wuzong Benji, and said to Mu Gong: "Mu Gong, you also like to read this book?" ”
Zhao Zhi also likes this book very much, Li Xun remembered that Li Yi told him that in her bedroom and in Zhao Zhi's dormitory, there is a book of Wuzong Benji, many times, before Zhao Zhi falls asleep, he has to take Wuzong Benji and look at it for a while.
"What the emperor likes is what I like."
Mu Gong came to the table, while opening the package brought by Li Xun, he said silently: "This Wuzong Benji, when I was still in the palace, the emperor at that time, has not yet boarded the Ninth Five-Year Plan, at that time I just read and write, copying books and practicing calligraphy, the first book, is this Wuzong Benji, many of which do not understand, or the emperor himself taught, I left the palace, did not take anything, but took away this book." ”
Li Xun looked at Mu Gong and felt his sadness, this book represents his past and the best memory in his life.
"Luofu?"
An exclamation came out, and Mu Gong took the wine jar, looked at Li Xun, and said in surprise: "Where did you get this wine?" I remember that six years ago, the last bottle of Luofu in the palace was drunk by me. ”
Li Xun said softly: "Li Zhong still has a few bottles of stock at home, I asked Li Xiao to bring one bottle, and I specially honored your old man." ”
Mu Gong had a smile on his face, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, dog, you have a heart." ”
"Old man, I'll fill it up for you."
"No, I don't have any wine glasses here."
The shepherd opened the mouth of the altar, hugged the wine jar, raised his head and drank a big sip.
"It's been a few years, and the taste is still evocative."
Mu Gong looked comfortable and aftertasted, laughed twice, and then handed the wine jar to Li Xun: "You can taste it too." ”
Li Xun nodded, took the wine jar, and took a sip.
Luofu wine is a foreign tribute, and the wine of the Central Plains, in terms of taste and texture, there is a big difference, Luofu wine is not strong, the taste is cool, but very bitter, very bitter, although later, there will be some sweetness in the mouth, but the comprehensive taste, is not good.
Li Xun returned the wine jar to Mu Gong, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Mu Gong, this wine... It's not delicious. ”
"Taste, taste, what you drink is the taste, but what I drink is the way of it."
The shepherd smiled, hugged the wine jar, and drank a few big sips in a row.
Li Xun smiled: "Wine is a happy thing, if you think too much, it will be boring." ”
Mu Gong laughed and said: "People are old, their thoughts have become complicated, I am at your age, I also do what I think, wrong, wrong, as long as I don't die, there is still a chance to change after all, unlike now, if you take a wrong step, there will be no hope in this life." ”
Although Mu Gong was laughing, Li Xun could see that he was not happy at all.
Li Xun moved a chair, helped Mu Gong to sit down, and then asked softly: "Mu Gong, what happened in the palace during the time I was gone?" ”
The shepherd resealed the wine jar, and he was reluctant to drink it all at once.
"How much do you know about the things in the palace?"
Li Xun told everything he knew and what happened recently, and he didn't hide anything.
After hearing this, the shepherd was silent.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see Mu Gong speak, Li Xun said softly: "Mu Gong, why don't you speak?" ”
Mu Gong said silently: "Your matter is actually very simple, but it is also very complicated. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Mu Gong looked at Li Xun and asked rhetorically: "Dog, in your opinion, who is more likely to be the crown prince now?" ”
"It should be King Qi."
Li Xun said without hesitation, Zhao Zhi has a total of seven sons, supported by the courtiers, and there are three with their own political forces, King Qi, King Chu, King Yi, behind the King of Chu is the Yang family, and the Yang family is already in power, once the King of Chu they support ascends the throne, what will happen to the King of Chu? It is very likely to become a puppet, the declining state affairs and imperial power, Zhao Zhixin has worked hard for decades, and finally regained it, how can he let the imperial power fall into the hands of others again?
Therefore, no matter how good the King of Chu is, he has been excluded from Zhao Zhi's selection for the crown prince.
Then there is the King of Qi and the King of Wings, for the King of Wings, Zhao Zhi does not say that he likes or hates it, he can only say that although he is father and son, the feelings of the two people are very light, and King Qi is different, Zhao Zhi's love for Li Yi is real, he loves the house and Wu, King Qi is a talent, talented, in Zhao Zhi's heart, its weight is naturally not obvious.
Mu Gong shook his head and said softly: "Some questions, you think too simply, although the emperor is not the Shengming monarch, but his means and abilities are far more than the three emperors of Ping, Xi and Yi, for the heir to the throne, the emperor will not consider the problem just out of love, King Qi is the emperor's son, isn't the Yiwang not?" From a single point of view, King Qi and King Wing are actually fair. 2k reading network
