I asked curiously, "How is he not pure-minded?" ”

Li Xuan said domineeringly: "Mr. Xiao first taught us the Analects, but I remembered most of it after reading it once, and memorized it word for word on the second day. Shimin saw that it only took me one day to memorize it all, and he himself had not even memorized the "Chapters of Learning", and as soon as Mr. Xiao left that day, he forced me to ask me how to deceive, and dared to deceive Mr. Xiao. Big brother, the people of the world think so, isn't it slightly the same as what "Zuo Biography" said, 'With the belly of a villain, the heart of a gentleman'? Unexpectedly, when he was pressuring me, Mr. Xiao turned back to the study and happened to see this scene. ”

I said as I walked: "Once upon a time, your third sister said that the eldest brother was a nerd. According to Big Brother, you're a nerd. ”

Li Xuanba pouted unhappily and said, "Big brother, I don't want to be a nerd, I also want to learn swords." ”

I smiled and said, "That day, Shimin proposed to me, I have promised to teach him, why don't you ......"

Before I could finish asking, Li Xuanba replied, "I don't want to be a sword class with him." ”

……

We walked and talked, and more than two hours passed.

As soon as I stepped into the second gate of the Tang Guogong Mansion, I felt that an ominous atmosphere was shrouded in the mansion, and when I approached the courtyard of the front hall, I saw a person kneeling under the steps of the front hall.

When I took Li Xuanba's hand and slowly got closer, I found that it was Yingchen, the girl who was serving Li Xuanba, Li Xuanba saw her kneeling at the bottom of the steps, broke free of my hand and knelt beside Yingchen, and secretly approached Yingchen and said, "I'm back, you don't have to worry." ”

As a result, Yingchen turned around and saw me and smiled at me: "The slave maid was still worried about the third son, but it turned out that she went out with the eldest son, so the slave and maid are relieved." "I didn't complain at all, because I took him out like this, so I caused her to kneel.

At this time, the mother turned out of the front hall, saw the three of us, and said in a deep voice: "Built, Xuanba still knows the mistake, don't you still know the mistake?" ”

I glanced at Li Xuanba, who was kneeling on the ground, this ...... He was still smarter, and after glancing at his mother, he knelt down and said, "Jiancheng knows his mistakes." ”

When my mother saw me, she took three steps and walked up to us, took my arm and said, "Get up! As he spoke, he went to hug Li Xuanba again. She hugged Li Xuanba and said to Yingchen again, "You also get up and go back to rest." ”

I saw that Yingchen seemed to be kneeling for a long time, so I walked up to her and personally helped her up, leaned into her ear and whispered: "It has been built, and Miss Lao has to bear it." ”

She looked at me gratefully, and I glanced at Rong'er, who was standing behind my mother, and she understood, and walked over to help Yingchen. I turned my head to look, and saw a person hidden behind the pillars of the verandah on the side, staring at this side, it was none other than Li Shimin!

I pretended not to see it, and said to my mother: "The third brother and Jiancheng went to Daxingshan Temple together to pray for my mother. The third brother is filial, and he asks his mother not to blame. ”

After listening to my words, my mother looked at Li Xuanba who was held in her arms, her eyes were almost red, and she smiled: "It's really difficult for you, it's not too much to take him so far." ”

I saw that my mother didn't mean to be angry anymore, so I smiled and said, "If the third brother wants to go, let him go." His mother thought he was weak and kept him in the house, so she was afraid that he would get sick. ”

The mother glared at me and said, "Xuanba is not Sanniang. When you were as old as him, you stayed in the house every day and never went out, and I never saw you sick. ”

I don't know why, my mother came back this time to make me feel much better than before, is it because of these younger brothers?

Thinking of Yan Cong's plan to accept Li Xuanba as a disciple, I casually asked, "What about my father?" ”

A hint of gloom flashed on the mother's face, but she still smiled and said, "I was summoned to the palace early this morning, and I haven't returned to the house yet." ”

I told my mother about the good luck of Li Xuanba in Daxingshan Temple, she looked at Li Xuanba, and seemed to be a little moved, but she didn't say anything, only said that she would wait for her father to come back.

When my father returned home, it was already evening, and he brought back a piece of news - Yang Guang had just changed the state to a county, and finally appointed his father as the Taishou of Xingyang, and he would take up his post half a month later. In other words, Daddy's days at home won't be too long. I told my father what happened to Li Xuanba in Daxingshan Temple, and after listening to it, he thought about it for a long time, discussed it with his mother, and decided to promise Yancong to let Li Xuanba be his disciple.

Here Li Xuanba's matter is solved, and I began to think about Li Shimin's matter. I found that when we were discussing the matter of Li Xuanba, he seemed frustrated and bored on the sidelines. I have a very strange feeling that Li Shimin seems to be a little out of place with our group of people - I don't know if he doesn't want to, or if we objectively caused this.

This time, my father went to Xingyang and did not bring his family, and everyone stayed in the Tang State Mansion.

Because my parents had agreed, Li Xuanba went to Daxingshan Temple with me again, and officially worshiped Yan Cong as his teacher, and Yan Cong was very happy to accept Li Xuanba's disciple. However, some people are happy and some are worried, and the mother is sad.

In the blink of an eye, it was already autumn, and Yang Su, who was in charge of supervising the construction of Luoyang City, returned to Daxing City and told Yang Guang that Luoyang had been repaired - it took less than a year before and after. Yang Guang was very happy to hear it, and personally went to Luoyang again, this time I didn't follow, but I heard that Yang Guang was very satisfied.

The thing that confirmed this was that Yang Su was added to the rank of knight again - worshiped him as the crown prince and master, and gave him a lot of rewards.

Since I experienced a series of messy and broken things, I began to have the idea of "not seeking merit, but seeking no fault" in the court, but the words "involuntarily" are definitely not just words, and the involvement is too deep does not mean that you can withdraw if you want to.

Yang Guang summoned me separately and said that there was something for me to do.

I came to the Political Affairs Hall, which was actually the room next to the Liangyi Palace, where Yang Guang was already waiting. To be honest, I haven't looked at him carefully for a long time, and now when I look at his figure, I find that he is still so straight and long, but there is more determination and composure in his eyes.

Yang Guang asked me to get up, walked up to me and said, "I heard something a few days ago, I don't know if you have heard about it?" On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I once gave Yang Liang a reward, but who knew that he not only knocked over my reward, but also dropped the wine jug, saying that I wanted to poison him. You say, what should I do with such a madman? ”

When I heard about this, I had an ominous premonition, and now that Yang Guang has summoned me alone, this ominous premonition is even stronger.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Yang Guang stretched out his finger and pointed to a tray on the imperial case—inside was a pot of wine and a wine glass, and said coldly: "Don't you take me in your eyes?" He suspected that I had poisoned the wine, so I let him taste it. ”

When he said this, I understood the purpose of coming to me - Heyu Wenhua and the same sad thing is that I have now become one of Yang Guang's tools to kill people.

And I simply can't refuse his orders.

Yang Guang smiled again as he spoke, put the tray and an edict that had been prepared a long time ago in my hand, and said, "Take a trip for me." ”

The mansion of Yang Liang, the king of Han, is still the one given to him by the emperor when he was there, but the scenery of the past can not even find the slightest shadow, entering the gate, the front yard is a withered grass, especially desolate in the wind in autumn, in the shadow of the sunset, the towering eaves of the front hall of the Han Wang's mansion seem lonely and vicissitudes, I think this scene is very in line with my state of mind at the moment - although I did not come alone, I am followed by the current imperial historian Zhang Heng.

Yang Liang, the king of Han, sat on a carved wooden chair in the front hall, and when he saw us coming, he neither got up nor spoken, and he didn't even bother to look at us.

Zhang Heng has always been accustomed to being powerful and blessed, and when he saw this scene, he shouted loudly: "Bold Yang forgiveness, disobedience to the saint, and contempt for the court, can you be guilty?" ”

I think Yang Liang's fate is much worse than Yang Yong's, after all, Yang Yong can still get drunk with his former confidants and friends before he dies, but Yang Liang doesn't even have anyone to send him.

I have always been tired of Zhang Heng's attitude, so I poured a glass of wine and handed it to Yang Liang and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, please drink this cup." ”

Yang Liang opened his eyes and glanced at me, and suddenly smiled: "The waiter is holding wine, do you dare not drink it?" After speaking, he laughed coldly twice, took the wine and drank it all.

The wine glass fell to the ground with a "clang", and he turned his head to Zhang Heng and said: "I die today, and there is a civil servant who will personally serve me, I don't know if the imperial doctor will die in the future, who will see you off?" Hahahaha......" He smiled, his facial expression suddenly distorted, he looked at Zhang Heng in extreme pain, and fell to the ground and died.

I didn't expect things to be so easy, I was stunned on the spot for a long time and couldn't change my senses, until Zhang Heng pulled me two or three times before I followed him out of the Han Palace.

That night, the Han Wang's Mansion caught fire, and Yang Liang, the King of Han, was trapped by the fire and unfortunately died. Yang Guang announced a three-day boycott at the court meeting to show his condolences.

Of course I was in a bad mood. In the morning, when I practiced my sword, I could barely hold the hilt of the sword, and it took a lot of effort to stabilize my mind, and I was still thinking about what had happened the day before, why did I keep asking me to do these things? It would be nice if I could believe like everyone else that King Han was indeed killed in the fire, but paradoxically, I knew that this was not the case, but I still had to force myself to believe that King Han was indeed trapped in the fire and died.

There was no court meeting for three days in a row, and I didn't have to deal with official documents, and although I stayed at home, I was also uneasy. If Daddy is here, I can still talk to him, but unfortunately he is not there, and everyone else in the house is very innocent and doesn't know what is going on, and I have to go out if I want to talk to someone, but I am too lazy to go out.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin asked me to teach him swordsmanship very inappropriately. I did say yes to him before, but I'm really not in the mood right now.

But remembering that he looked like he had been snubbed before, he couldn't bear to spoil him again.
