His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but recite it: "Heaven and earth are endless, and all things are one!" Flying flowers and falling leaves, humility like a valley! A thousand worries, only to settle the heart! Immediately raise your eyebrows, and the spiritual platform is quiet! There is no obstacle in the heart, and there is no attachment to the mind! Relieve the mind and relieve the mind, Mo Ran has no soul! The water flow is not alarmed, and the clouds are late! Single-minded, ancient and modern! ”

After reciting "Meditation Mantra", the two of them were silent for a long time, staring at the paper scroll, pondering carefully, immersed in the transcendent and unearthly situation.

"Unless you have attained enlightenment, it will be difficult for you to create this mantra." His Majesty Li Er sighed lightly and said: "Let the mortal heart fall into silence, into the quiet, under the recitation, I feel quite felt. ”

Xu Hui pursed the corners of her mouth and said quietly: "The concubine also feels that this mantra has the effect of eliminating distracting thoughts and stabilizing the mind. ”

His Majesty Li Er gently bowed his head, stretched out his fingers, and stroked back and forth according to the strokes of the handwriting on the paper scroll, and exclaimed: "The dot painting is crisp and beautiful, the bones are strong, and the knot is tight, and it is chasing the momentum of Wei Bei to cut through the iron." The heart is right, the pen is right, and he has a body of the right army, but he can come up with new ideas, which is enough to be called a generation of grandmasters! ”

Xu Hui also loves this thin and hard and balanced font, but she feels different from His Majesty Li Er, and said: "The concubine does not have the profound calligraphy attainments of His Majesty, and when she looks at this character, she only feels that she is clean and healthy, and there is no vulgarity." ”

His Majesty Li Er stretched out his arm and gently hugged Xu Hui's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What Concubine Ai said is not bad, Lu Yuxian has long cultivated himself, and this calligraphy is enough to be a model for future generations." ”

Xu Hui was a little uncomfortable with His Majesty's intimate actions, and felt that the palace people in the palace were still there, so he lowered his head slightly in shame, and whispered as if he was angry: "Your Majesty, there are still others in the palace!" ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled, disappreciated, approached Xu Hui with his bearded face, and said softly: "Aifei, can you lend this Lu Immortal's handwriting to me for a few days?" ”

Xu Hui blinked and deliberately teased: "The younger brother borrows each other, and the concubine lends it to His Majesty, it seems inappropriate, right?" Actually, isn't it the same here as a concubine? Your Majesty can come at any time if you want to see it! ”

"Yes, yes, Concubine Ai is right." His Majesty Li Er laughed twice and said, "I will often come to the palace of the concubine, but I also have to deal with the official affairs of the imperial court. ”

Xu Hui grinned and said, "If Your Majesty has a will, the younger brother will not dare to disobey it, and the concubine also has an excuse to explain to him." ”

His Majesty Li Er laughed heartily and hugged his concubine hard, happy and happy to get a handwriting that was enough to uphold the law for future generations.

Personally took the paper roll back to the wooden box, His Majesty Li Er became a little angry again, and reprimanded: "Qi Lin, this stinky boy, the handwriting of the family teacher is not to mention framed, and it is precious, so use this broken box to pack." ”

Xu Hui rolled his eyes and said, "Qi Lin must not want others to see it, so he hid it and kept it secret. This box, the concubine looks very exquisite! Meditate, meditate, has Your Majesty forgotten? ”

His Majesty Li Er hurriedly nodded, "Yes, meditate, meditate." I want to be in good spirits, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not angry, not angry. ”

Xu Hui laughed twice, sat behind the bookcase, and took a pen to memorize the "Meditation Mantra" on the paper.

With black hair and pink cheeks, beautiful palace costumes, elegant and intellectual, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but be fascinated when he looked at the quiet woman who came out of the dust.

After a while, when Xu Hui stopped writing, His Majesty Li Er exclaimed: "The concubine will never forget it, and she will live up to the name of a talented woman." I summoned skilled craftsmen to use the technique of sounding the couch to describe a "Meditation Mantra" for the concubine, and there should be no difference. ”

Xu Hui smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty has praised it." "Meditation Mantra" is catchy, and there are not many words, and the concubines can barely memorize it, how dare they say that they will never forget it? As for tracing Lu Daochang's handwriting, the concubine can only say that she is looking forward to it, and she has also thanked His Majesty on behalf of Qi Lin, so that this handwriting can be known to the world. ”

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment and said, "I know the meaning of the concubine." Well, I will trace a few more pieces, so that the world will also know that there is still this innovation in regular script, which is enough to uphold the law. ”

"Xiao Qi, Xixi, my uncle has delicious dishes and fun things, you will send them as soon as possible." Xincheng stretched out his little fat hand and pointed to the two magpies who were only interested in eating, "Don't be lazy, don't delay." ”

Delicious dishes, write a recipe and send it; Fun thing, I'm afraid this bird can't move, right? Besides, are these two greedy toys reliable for long-distance messengers?

Xu Qilin smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything dejected, anyway, it didn't take long to send someone on horseback to send it, so it would be good to leave some hope for Xiao Gongju.

The son was even more unhappy than Xincheng, even though he had just finished eating ice cream, he was also pulling his little face.

"Uncle will go back and have official business to deal with, a major event in the court!" Xu Qilin looked around at no one, touched his son's head, and said, "I want to make good-looking and good-sounding candy for my son and my little one!" ”

The son shook his head and complained with a small mouth: "What kind of candy, coaxing children, it's not uncommon!" ”

Xu Qilin smiled, you are not a child yet, leaned over and said patiently: "Aren't all toys such as rail cars, slides, and Trojan horses built, and my uncle can't stay here all the time!" Write a letter when you think of your uncle, and your uncle will also write you a story and send it. Adults have adult things, you have to understand this. ”

The son knew that he couldn't stop his brother-in-law from leaving, so at most he let his father make an order and stay for a few more days. But this must make her uncle unhappy, and she doesn't want to make her uncle unhappy.

"Then, uncle, what you say counts." The son raised his head, his big eyes full of anticipation, even if it was just a false remark, she could feel better.

Xu Qilin stretched out his little finger and said with a smile: "Let's pull the hook, talking doesn't count as a puppy." ”

The son pursed the corners of his mouth, showed a slight smile, and made an agreement with his uncle, and the reluctance in his heart was somewhat diluted.

"I'll pull the hook too." Xincheng giggled and leaned over, stretching out his little fat hand, "Candy, it's beautiful and delicious, my uncle will send it quickly!" ”

"No problem." Xu Qilin laughed and agreed.

Finally coaxed the two little princesses, Xu Qilin resigned to His Majesty Li Er, and then left the Jiucheng Palace. Returning to the residence, Xu Qilin greeted Wu Xiang and the nursing home, galloped on horseback, and ran towards Chang'an.

……………

At this time, Chang'an had already learned that His Majesty Li Er had been assassinated by the Dushe rate and He Luohu.

With the pursuit and capture of Holuhu and others, according to his confession, the Turks and their relatives who participated in the assassination were mercilessly arrested.

Although His Majesty Li Er did not want to expand the matter, the courtiers could not fail to express their loyalty to the king and hatred of the thief. This is a great crime of treason, how dare you tolerate it.

His Majesty Li Er's holy decree also mentioned that Xu Qilin, the chief of the Great Ying Treasury, had a meritorious role in saving the driver, and the man of Changcheng County was awarded the title and was awarded the title of Captain.

In the Tang Dynasty, the twelfth rank of the honored officer, that is, the "twelve turns", was a title conferred on meritorious people, and there was no actual position. A bit similar to the "military rank" of later generations, it is a kind of rank mark that is decoupled from the position.

And the rank of Captain and Founding Baron, is already one level higher than Xu Qilin's current official from the fifth grade.

Obviously, in this major incident of assassination, only Xu Qilin should have benefited. This is somewhat conspicuous, and although there is no specific description in the decree, it does not stop people from speculating and conjecturing.

The most important thing is Xu Qilin's age, only twelve years old, but he is already a fifth-rank official, and he was still white a few months ago. In the end, what merit and contribution will be favored by His Majesty, and he will continue to be promoted like a rocket.

It's no wonder that except for a few people such as Ma Zhou, there are not many people who know much about Xu Qilin. Many of his advisories have not been made public, and His Majesty Li Er also has to wait for the right time to implement them.

If Xu Qilin is now in the court, it is inevitable that he will be criticized for this, and His Majesty Li Er will also face the persuasion and obstruction of some upright ministers.

But he is now a big Ying Kucheng, subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Servants, and is the close servant of His Majesty Li Er, and he also manages the internal affairs of the palace, which has little to do with the outer court, so he basically puts an end to the criticism or opposition of the courtiers.

In this respect, His Majesty Li Er is quite interesting, not only promoting Xu Qilin to the official rank, but also blocking him a lot of troubles and constraints.

The nominal boss is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but no matter how Xu Qilin tosses, he is actually under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty Li Er, which is very special and gives him the greatest convenience.

In Xu Qilin's view, if he didn't get involved in the court too early, he saved a lot of intrigue and a lot of unnecessary ushering in; The more special and independent institutions and official positions also allow him to play more flexibly and play to the fullest.

It's good, it's good!

Half lying on the sofa, enjoying the long-lost thoughtful and careful waiting, Xu Qilin was comfortable.

"Listen to the housekeeper, King Wei has sent people here several times, and I don't know what to do with Ah Lang?" Scarlett cut the apple into small pieces, tied it with a toothpick, and fed it to Xu Qilin's mouth.

"Maybe it's made of movable lead type, right?" Xu Qilin chewed and said a little vaguely: "Just send it directly to Dayingku, and you have to take the opportunity to meet with me to talk?" ”

Scarlett said: "The officials of the big Yingku have also come, but it was the days when Ah Lang just left. ”

Xu Qilin nodded, and after arriving at Jiucheng Palace, he informed his whereabouts by letter and explained all kinds of matters. Since he knew that he was driving with him, Da Yingku naturally would not come to the house to look for him again.

Moreover, many things have been reported to him by the housekeeper, but Scarlett has not seen him for many days, and he is willing to talk more, and he does not want to ruin the fun.

"The little lady sent someone back and asked the lady of the Zheng family and Miss Ake to go to the village to teach piano skills." Scarlett continued, "The butler sent someone to send them to the village yesterday. ”

Xu Qilin smiled helplessly, it seems that the little sister lives well in Zhuangzi, and she doesn't plan to come back in a short time.

"Sister Yiyi came here yesterday." Scarlett glanced at Xu Qilin a little unnaturally, and the tone of her voice also changed, "It's nothing, it's just that the shop outside the city has been built, and Ah Lang promised that he would sell it to Yichun Courtyard." ”

"Well, that's the case." Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for our own shop to be decided, and then send someone to notify Yichun Courtyard and let them send someone to choose!" ”

As he was talking, the next person came to pass the word, and the people from the Wei Wangfu came by order and were waiting in the hall.

This four fat man is staring at it closely, disturbing the day off that Lao Tzu gave him.

Xu Qilin was displeased, but for the sake of lead type, and in order not to offend the four fat men, he still got up and went to the hall to meet guests.

The person from the Wei Wangfu spoke and acted very politely, conveyed the intention of the four fat men to invite each other, and also revealed the news that the lead movable type had been made.

Are you afraid that Lao Tzu will not go? Xu Qilin secretly slandered himself, but for the sake of lead type, he still promised to go to the Wei Palace.

Although Xu Qilin decided to help Li Sipang, it was only out of disappointment with Li Chengqian and disgust with Li Zhi, and he would not become a fan of Li Sipang in a grand manner and stand clearly.

If Li Sipang is that piece of material, and can listen to good words and persuasion, it will naturally be a thousand good. But if he is still like in history, Xu Qilin naturally does not want to brand himself as the Wei royal family.

Therefore, if you are close to each other, it is enough to maintain such an attitude. His Majesty Li Er is still there, and Xu Qilin doesn't have to bother looking for another big thick leg.

In other words, no matter what prince or prince he is, as long as he is loyal to His Majesty Li Er, there is nothing wrong with him. His Majesty Li Er also doesn't want others to worry about changing bosses, and he doesn't want his ministers to be half-hearted.

After a brief tidying up, Xu Qilin took Wu Xiang and others to the Wei Palace.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Li Sipang was quite proud, and he came as soon as he was invited, which showed that he had face. Otherwise, in front of Li Ke and Li Su, slap your face more.

"When Xu Qilin arrives, I want the four emperor brothers to make peace in the middle." When Li Su heard the news, he bowed his hand to Li Tai and said, "I really don't know that the drunken night building is his property, and I don't know that he is discussing with the king of Heshun County. ”

Li Ke glanced at Li Ke with some surprise, and thought: My sixth brother has always been a bastard, how can he be beaten, but he doesn't think about revenge, and he has to bow his head to a small five-grade official and admit his mistake.

Li Su noticed his brother Li Ke's eyes, smiled bitterly, and explained: "Xu Qilin is deeply favored and trusted by his father, and I am not liked by my father, if he complains to his father, I am afraid that he will be punished again." ”

This sounds reasonable, but Li Ke has a different meaning. If Li Su was afraid of punishment, why didn't he change his stinky problem earlier, but when he came to Xu Qilin, he was worried and scared?

Could it be that Xu Qilin is really trusted by his father, or is his sister Xu Chongrong deeply fond of pampering and can blow the wind on the pillow?

Li Sipang didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Xu Qilin and I are quite harmonious, and there is no problem in making peace." Although the sixth brother is a little reckless, but in the end, he is the prince, can Xu Qilin still not give up? ”

Li Su hurriedly thanked him, "Then thank you to the Fourth Emperor Brother." ”

Li Ke smiled and said nothing, but he was even more puzzled in his heart, and he didn't understand why Li Tai also valued Xu Qilin a lot. Listening to the meaning of the words, this Xu Qilin is not widely acquainted, and Li Tai seems to be proud of it!

Li Sipang waved his hand, signaling that Li Su didn't need to be polite, and said: "This time the Turkic remnants dare to assassinate their father, it's really mad. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. I think you and I should pay more attention in the future and make less friends with those white-eyed wolves. ”
