"Xiaolang, Deng Bai is coming!"

Xu You sat up slowly, rubbed his hands together, covered his eyes for a few seconds, and when he opened them again, his fatigue decreased slightly, and then he muttered "hard work", and got dressed under the gentle and considerate service of the autumn equinox, and had regained his vigor during the day.

When he arrived outside, Deng Tao was just about to salute, but Xu You raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "They are all old friends, what are you doing with these false courtesies?" Have a seat! ”

Deng Tao smiled when he heard this, but he still insisted on giving his hands and waited for Xu You to sit down in the armchair. It's just that he is tall and still looks like an iron tower, which makes people look sideways.

"It's curfew in a while, I'll make a long story short, the reason why I invited the hundred generals to come over is to catch up before leaving, and second, I want to ask the hundred generals to do me a favor!"

Deng Tao's expression remained unchanged and said, "Lang Jun, please speak!" ”

Early the next morning, Xu You went to bid farewell to Yuan Jie, who sincerely encouraged him and wished him a smooth journey. When he spoke, the corners of his eyebrows in his eyes were always difficult to hide his worries, Xu You didn't want to make extraneous branches, but after thinking about it, he still asked, "Why is Yuan Gong so worried?"

Yuan Jie sighed and said, "You can see it?" In fact, it doesn't hurt to tell Qilang that the king of Hengyang is going to Xuzhou to take up his post, passing through Jinling, and preparing to come to the house to stay for a few days. ”

"King Hengyang? Isn't his fief in Xiangzhou, why do you want to go to Xuzhou? ”

Xu You inherited his previous memories and knew that Emperor An Zidao of Chu had twenty-one sons, and in addition to those who died prematurely, died of illness or died in battle, there were thirteen sons. The eldest is the crown prince An Xiuming, who is twenty-nine years old, and the youngest Shanyang Wang An Xiuyuan is only six years old. And Hengyang Wang An Xiuyuan is the tenth son of An Zidao, he should be twenty years old this year, he is a little good at literature, his posture is dignified, and his biological mother Concubine Yang is very favored in the palace.

"No wonder Shichiro doesn't know, this happened not long ago." Yuan Jie's hands were on his back, and he walked to the door, his voice was heavy and helpless, and he said: "Prince Hengyang is quite favored by the lord by virtue of his mother's wealth, and he has just sealed 5,000 households of food and yi the year before last, and now he is being reused, and the edict moved to the right general, Xuzhou Assassin History, and the military governor of Xuzhou, and he has set off from Jinling with his attendants 15 days ago. Last night, I suddenly received a famous post from him, saying that he had questions about the meaning of Confucianism and wanted to find me for answers. ”

After the state of Chu was established, the king of the great feudal domain relied on the barrier of the country, but all adult princes over the age of fifteen were given real power, and there were not a few who led the troops, and they were not taboo to have personal relations with ministers. Therefore, many vassal kings have military palaces outside the town, and they have important ministers inside, and they are surging, posing a great threat to the crown prince. But An Xiuyuan should belong to a wonderful flower among the princes, his mother concubine Yang, because she was favored by An Zidao, forced the prince's biological mother, that is, the queen of the dynasty, to death. With this confused account, Far from being separated from the prince, An Xiu was worried that the prince would settle old accounts after he ascended the throne in the future, so he was able to let go of the prince's dignity, saddle up the horse, flatter, and befriend the prince alive.

In addition, An Xiuyuan's reputation is also good, and he often has poetry and literary exchanges with Gu Zhuo in Jinling, Yuan Can, etc., but to say that just for a little question of the scriptures, he has to make a special post to visit Yuan Jie, but it is not so reasonable!

Yuan Jie, a five-rank Taishou, is not the most important person in the Yuan family, what is surprising that An Xiuyuan would rather change his route than come to visit?

Xu You was suspicious in his heart, but he naturally didn't show it on his face, and said: "Duke Yuan is worthy of being a great sect of Confucianism, and even His Royal Highness Ten has to come to ask for advice, shouldn't this be a good thing." Why worry? “

A little ridicule appeared in Yuan Jie's eyes, and he said: "There are so many great Confucians in the court, where is Yuan Mou's turn to teach His Highness?" Gu Zhuo, Yuan Can, who is not knowledgeable and knowledgeable? I am afraid of the ......."

"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink!" Xu You blurted out.

"The meaning of a drunkard is not ...... wine" Yuan Jie finally showed his first smile today and said, "Qilang always has a witty word!" Yes, I'm afraid he's not a drunkard, but if that's the case, it's a great difficulty......"

Xu You suddenly remembered a rumor about An Xiuyuan, frowned, looked at Yuan Jie's side face, and said, "Is it for Sanniang?" ”

Yuan Jie glanced at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to think of this layer, he was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Yes, my Yuan family has been pure for generations, there are no treasures in the world, and there are no treasures in the world, what can be favored by His Highness?" is nothing more than a daughter, with acceptable appearance and a slight talent...... I don't hide it from Shichiro, before you proposed, His Royal Highness Ten also talked about this matter in private, but I refused......"

Since Xu You was reborn, he occasionally thought about this question, and he actually didn't understand why Yuan Jie would agree to this family business. Because no matter from that aspect, he and Yuan Qingqi are not a good match, the only thing that can be taken out is family background, but how many famous families in Jiangdong are not the only ones in the Xu family, and it is not difficult to choose one from among them who is better than him regardless of character and talent.

But think about it at this time, the woman who is favored by An Xiuyuan may not have such courage to marry into the door in an ordinary family, and only a local wealthy family like the Xu family in Yixing, who is strong and deep-rooted, where will he be afraid of a small vassal king? In addition, she can marry a talented girl from the Yuan family, and it can be regarded as a lintel, so the Yuan and Xu families hit it off and settled on this in-law who has been talked about by idlers for a long time!

"Ha, it turns out that I still have the light of His Highness the Ten!"

Yuan Jie naturally understood the meaning of his words, shook his head and said: "Qilang doesn't have to be arrogant, compared to this highness, you are already the most satisfactory husband of Sanniang." It's just that creation is the cause, so what can I do?"

Xu You was ashamed of An Xiuyuan when he saw Yuan Jie's speech, could it be that the rumor was true? couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "...... about the matter between His Royal Highness Ten and Princess Haiyan?"

Yuan Jie turned around suddenly, looked at Xu You, his eyes showed an extremely stern light, and said: "Zi said don't look at incivility, don't listen to incivility, don't say incivility, don't move incivility." Shichiro is also a person who has read the books of sages, how can he not know this truth? Xu You heard Zen and hated his voice, washed his ears and water, and the nest father still blamed him for polluting his calf, which shows that the virtuous people can't even listen to fame and fortune, let alone listen to such foul words? Besides, this matter involves the inner government, the gentleman and his ignorance, Gai Que is the same, have you forgotten the teachings on prudence in the "Analects"? ”

Xu You's head suddenly became big, and what he was most afraid of when he interacted with Confucian people was that he didn't know when he would provoke a lot of people, especially the Confucian saints. Xu You and Chao Father mentioned by Yuan Jie were both hermits in ancient times, and Yao heard about Xu You's name, and after finding him, he said that he would give him the world's Zen. Xu You ran away with his legs and hurried to Yingshui to wash his ears. It happened that his friend Father Chao was walking the cow and asked him what was wrong, Xu You told him about the matter, and the father of the nest was also angry, and scolded Xu You for not going downstream to wash his ears and let the dirty water pollute his cow's mouth.

This is the previous allusion, and the latter sentence is from "Zilu Thirteenth", which means that the gentleman generally takes a reserved attitude towards what he does not know.

Yuan Jie first warned, then advised, and quoted scriptures, if Xu You hadn't really read a few books in his previous life, just relying on the memory of this life, he would have been dizzy and drowsy when he heard it earlier!

Xu You sneered, if you haven't heard of this gossip, why did I just start and react so much? The son said that he can't be right, like a righteous person? Old man Yuan, you are really enough!

"What Yuan Gong taught me is that I am not good at reading and have not comprehended the truth of the sage, but this sentence should not be asked!"

Yuan Jie saw that he was respectfully taught, and he was praised for being a child, and said earnestly: "Don't talk to him, but talk to him, this is a gaffe!" You are wrong to say such things to me, and the person who told you about it in the first place is even more wrong. Tell me honestly, where did you hear these words? ”

Xu You was stunned, and the shadow of a person who had not appeared for a long time appeared in his mind, when the two traveled together, one article and one martial arts, but they had a very good time, and he often lived in Jinling, and often walked around in the East Palace, so that he could hear about the secrets of the palace.

But after that night, he never appeared again, thinking that he didn't know how to face himself,

And he really doesn't know how to face him.

In the face of blood-stained hatred, the time when the young man rode a horse had long since become gloomy!
