It is close to the middle of September, and in Chang'an City, the coolness of the early morning is like a naughty child, wandering back and forth on the body, and every place is caressed by this coolness.

On the old trees that are more than half a hundred years old, the branches and leaves of autumn and summer are intertwined with yellow and green, which already represents that the summer is completely far away, and Chang'an comes much earlier than the autumn in Yangzhou!

Qian Jin, who got up this morning to change his guard and guard the prison, looked at the listless tree at the door of the prison, but his heart was not so listless.

Today, I heard from the person who changed the guard with him that at this time of year, a big man in the palace would come to this remote prison in the capital, and as a rule, as long as he was a guard here, he would get some valuable gadgets.

The excitement on Qian Jin's face couldn't be suppressed, he didn't expect that there would be such a good thing when he entered Dali Temple for the first time this year.

But he had always wondered if the prison, which had been built separately from the others, was more of a courtyard than a prison.

For it was not as dark as the prison, a small courtyard enclosed by a fence, but the fence was almost as high as the wall, and there was only a small gate for one person to enter and exit.

If someone looks through the crack in the door, they will see that there is a small tree planted in the courtyard inside, as if it is because autumn is coming, and this small tree has no young shoots and leaves, and it is bare.

But the hut in the courtyard is very interesting, and every day there will be a different sound, some representatives are surprised, some are satisfied, and some representatives disagree!

Although the guards had the keys for the regular days, no one went in except for the father-in-law, who delivered food every day.

Qian Jin didn't understand why this prisoner lived differently from others, and there would be a father-in-law from the palace to deliver food every day, he thought it was too strange!

So he, like the other newcomers, was looking through the crack in the door, but he was just lying on the door for a short time when he was slapped on the back.

He turned his head sharply and saw two people, one tall and one short, but very harmonious, as if they had been like this since birth, the high one slightly in front and the low one slightly behind, just right.

"Good boy, please open the door!" The short one spoke, and his voice sounded like an old grandmother, a little feminine, but judging from his figure, he should be a man, and he was still carrying a food box in his hand, presumably a father-in-law.

Qian Jin just wanted to inquire about the identities of the two, and then thought of what the previous colleague said, because someone had asked about the identity of the person who came many times, and then the person went home to care for the elderly that day, but he was sick in bed.

Thinking of this, Qian Jin hurriedly looked for the key on his body, opened the lock on the door, and made a gesture of please, the tall one walked in directly, and the short one threw a bead to Qian Jin, which looked like a rare thing by the East China Sea!

He took a cursory glance, took it into his arms, smiled flatteringly at the father-in-law, and when the two of them were in, he closed the door, and then took out the bead and looked at it carefully!

"Who's in charge here now?"

"Back to Your Majesty's words, it's Lord Chai."

The tall man glanced at Qian Jin at the door with a little meaning, and walked into the house.

......

......

The structure of this small courtyard is very simple, a bookcase about the size of a wall, usually with books and half of it files.

Next to it was a spotlessly clean bed, like no one had ever slept on, and not far away was a boxy table with a few folds, two teacups, and a teapot.

There were also two chairs as clean as a bed, and one of them was sitting in one of them, holding a copy in his hand, carefully reading the contents.

When he heard someone come in, he unhurriedly put the fold in his hand on the table, arched his hand to the tall man who came in, and said; "See Your Majesty!"

The tall man was Li Wei, who was angry at the ministers in the morning that day, and the short man was naturally a father-in-law with good tea-making skills.

"No need to be polite!"

Li Wei was not dissatisfied with this person because he did not kneel, because except for the first emperor, Xi Fang had never knelt to anyone.

Zhang Yong smiled at Xi Fang who was sitting in the chair, Xi Fang nodded, Zhang Yong began to put the fold on the table aside, put the food box on the table, and took out four dishes, as well as a pot of wine and two wine cups.

I moved another chair for Li Wei, and just thought about wiping it, I found that it was indeed too clean, so I stepped aside.

Li Wei sat on the chair and raised his hand, and Zhang Yong walked over in small steps, opened the wine, and then filled the wine glasses placed in front of the two of them, and consciously went outside the house.

Xi Fang picked up the wine glass and smelled it, smiled, and said: "Sure enough, Your Majesty knows me best, and at this time of year, he sends the wine made by the queen mother herself, which is really a blessing for the minister!" ”

After speaking, he drank it all directly, showing a satisfied expression.

That year, when His Majesty the Emperor led an army to Xiliang, in a farm yard in Xiliang, he tasted the wine made by the girl after stepping on it, and felt that it was a pity to stay here!

After Xiliang was defeated, he went to the village again, brought the girl back to the palace, and became the current queen mother, but this is another story!

Li Wei looked at Xi Fang, who was sitting opposite, and said, "Since you came here back then, you have been handling the government for me, this little wine is nothing!" ”

As he spoke, he poured Xi Fang's empty cup to the brim.

Xi Fang stared at the wine that had just been poured up, and muttered in his mouth: "I'm not for Your Majesty, I'm for the Jingguo world, no matter who is in this position!" ”

The corners of Li Wei's mouth moved, first sighed, drank the wine in his cup, and said, "But you did help me a lot!" ”

Seven years ago today, Xi Fang, who should have been escorted to prison, was sent to this courtyard by Li Wei, and the eunuch who asked him to deliver food was brought over in a food box every day.

In fact, it is still this former Xiangguo who is taking care of everything in Jingguo!

Xi Fang picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork with fat and thin, took it with her left hand, put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly, and after swallowing it, she made a pleasant hum sound like in the past.

Zhang Yong, who was outside the house, knew that his craftsmanship was not bad after hearing it, and covered his mouth and laughed twice, Qian Jin outside the courtyard felt that the beads that the people living inside should get much bigger than their own, otherwise how could they be so happy!

After Li Wei saw him finish eating, he asked, "What do you think of me letting Yuan Qing and Yuan Huan go to Yangzhou together?" ”

Xi Fang didn't answer, and put another piece of radish in his mouth, Li Wei asked again: "What do you think about Wang Jin and Chai Song?" ”

Xi Fang put the chopsticks on the table and said, "The checks and balances of the Jingguo Li family have always been the best in the world!" ”

At that time, Xi Fang was above 10,000 people in the government and the opposition, but not under one person, including His Majesty the Emperor, who was high above.

Li Wei felt that this was not good, so Xi Fang came here.

Li Wei was silent for a while, and said, "How is Chai Song doing?" ”

Xi Fang said, "That's what you saw when you entered the door! ”

Li Wei asked again: "Too greedy?" ”

Xi Fang shook his head, looked at Li Wei seriously and said, "It's just right!" ”

His Majesty the Emperor picked up the wine glass in his hand and shook it, looked at the fold that had just been taken away and said: "Recently, there have been some movements on the Beiwei side, it seems that the knife has been bypassed, you also saw it on the fold, I don't know what that person thinks of this matter!" ”

Xi Fang put the chopsticks on the table, also looked at the book, and said softly: "It's really not normal recently, it seems that Beiwei seems to be relying on it, but among the generals who are in charge of the north, I heard that there is a seventeen-year-old boy who intercepted and killed Beiwei's team many times, and also put the corpse of the envoy of Beiwei to the Golden Horde on the Golden Horde grassland, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Li Wei nodded, his face couldn't help but be a little happy, and he exclaimed: "It's a little doll named Wu Zhisheng, quite a bit like Song Hong's demeanor back then, my Jingguo military general is finally a successor!" ”

Li Wei suddenly pondered for a moment and continued: "I just don't know what Beiwei's reliance is, you still have to help me pay more attention to it, someone will send it to you later in today's excerpt!" ”

Xi Fang looked at Li Wei seriously, and replied softly: "That's natural, Your Majesty's orders will naturally be dealt with!" ”

Finally, in the unhurried conversation between the two, the wine and food were almost eaten, and Zhang Yong, who was guarding outside, came in and cleaned up everything on the table.

"I still want to wish my brother a long and auspicious birthday, I won't bother much, and I'll come back next year!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Qian Jin wondered why this tall middle-aged man patted himself on the shoulder when he walked, presumably because of his own ability, he watched the two of them go away, and then took out the pearl and rubbed it, but he still felt that the one inside must be bigger than his!

......

......

On today's ordinary day, there are many people who are saying the words "auspicious birthday", including officials in the court, ordinary people who farm the land, rich businessmen, and beggars on the streets.

Almost as long as the people of Jingguo will think of these four words, maybe not only now, but also in the future!

In a dilapidated small courtyard in the capital, a child who had just walked walked walked to the side of an old man in a wheelchair step by step, gently pulled the old man's trouser leg with his little hand, and asked, "Grandpa, grandpa, why, why do you all say those words?" ”

The old man in the wheelchair touched his head lovingly, looked at the direction of the tower in the capital and said, "Because Xiangguo has always made Jingguo auspicious!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu sat on the chair, looked at Liu Xiao, who was still trying to sort out the news from all over the world, and said, "Let's go to the bar!" ”

Liu Xiao lowered his head and replied to him angrily: "There are so many things to do, what kind of wine to drink?" ”

Xi Yuanxiu looked at the sky in the north with moist eyes, and said, "Because today is very auspicious!" ”

Liu Xiao suddenly remembered, followed Xi Yuanxiu's eyes and looked into the distance, as if he had also seen the tower in the capital, and said: "You should drink, it is indeed very auspicious!" ”
