Wang Xi remembered that only his father-in-law and stepmother knew about the things that fell from the sky, and even Xiao'er didn't know about it, so in order to give the lie a fulfillment, he carefully planned such a story.

Li Er and Lao Li Gang glanced at each other with complicated expressions, and said: "I heard that the first saint Wang Xu of the Ghost Valley of the pre-Qin Dynasty was born in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the end of the Qin Dynasty did not appear in the world, and he lived for thousands of years, is this so?" ”

Li Er's question was very abrupt, Wang Xi was also caught off guard by the question, and thought for a while: "No, when the Guigu Gate started is impossible to test, the origin of the door is recorded in more than the tortoise shell, the inscription of Zhong Ding, the door people read it all by guessing, but in the pre-Qin period, there were bamboo slips, when there were very few people in the world to read, and most of them were after the public family, in order to attract the world's good talents and breed it, the ancestors of the past dynasties had to borrow the fame of Guiguzi, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Qin Dynasty, the masters of the past dynasties were called Guiguzi, the name Wang Xu, this case to the early Han Dynasty The world was determined, and Yunmeng Mountain was completely hidden, it was abolished, and the longevity of the ancestors of the past dynasties is not much different from ordinary people. ”

Li Er looked at Wang Xi with some disappointment: "You said that Yunmeng Mountain was ruined, and you were the only one left, I don't know those advanced knowledge of Yunmeng Mountain, how much have you learned?" ”

Wang Xi's face was a little red, and he said: "Half of it is not half of it..."

"What?" The audience was full of anger, and after talking for a long time, I learned half of it, and it was not enough?

Even the old Li Gang, who had always been smiling, had a sinking face, and Li Er was even more choked.

"Yunmeng Mountain shook the sky and was destroyed by natural disasters, a certain accompanied His Majesty to conquer the river, and also passed by Yunmeng Mountain of Hebi, why didn't I see anything unusual in the mountain?" Du Ruhui asked with a shimmering look in his eyes.

Wang Xi saluted Du Ruhui: "This Yunmeng Mountain is not the other Yunmeng Mountain, the boy also traveled out of the mountain with his father when he was young, but he felt that the world outside the mountain was completely different from the mountain, but the boy was young at the time, and he didn't know where he was, probably like the Yellow Emperor to Huaxu Kingdom, Mr. Wuliu to the Peach Blossom Spring, not in the world to know, and the kid intuitively felt that Yunmeng Mountain was only afraid that it was not in the territory of the Tang Dynasty today, as for the detailed place, the kid had no way to know. ”

Fang Du glanced at each other, but Li Er said hatefully: "Born in Duobao Jinshan, but he came out with grains of rice!" •••••, since you have entered the WTO, I would like to ask you, do you want to serve in the court? ”

Wang Xi, who had never knelt down when he had just met, lifted his hem at this time, knelt on the ground and wept: "The minister was adopted by the king of Zhangjiazhuang, worshiped as his father-in-law, and his father-in-law treated me as if he had come out, so that the minister's scattered heart was grateful, but in early September, the father-in-law was harmed by the Turks, Wang Xi was not talented, and he was willing to show what he had learned to give the military service, on the day his father-in-law was killed, Wang Xi had made a blood oath that he would slaughter the entire Turkic clan in this life to sacrifice his father-in-law and one hundred and eighteen villagers of Zhangjia Zhuangzi!" May Your Majesty be fulfilled! Then he prostrated his head, and in a short time there was blood on his forehead.

The hall was full of Hongru looking at Wang Xi, who was still in tears and kowtowing, his eyes were slightly red, and Li Er waved his hand: "You are still young, the household disc of Jingyang County is only fourteen years old, my Datang has not yet reached the point of letting a child go into battle to kill the enemy, and don't be impatient, my eldest son Cheng Qian is eight years old, and he is studying in Chongwen Hall with his sons. In the future, I will raise troops to the north and ask the grassland for sin, and I will allow you to go with the army! ”

Wang Xi knew that the major affairs of the country were in Rong, and his birth background was vague, so it was impossible to easily allow himself to get involved in military aircraft.

Wiping away his tears, Wang Xi said again: "I don't know if the prince is reading, how much is it?" ”

Li Erden was happy: "You Yunmengshan is highly educated, I still think that you are all people who do not bend their waists for corn, how can there be such an outlier?" ”

Wang Xi said seriously: "No, money and wealth are like dung in the eyes of the kid, but the kid has been in Chang'an for more than two months, and has been staying in the mansion of the state of Suguo, which is not a long-term solution, Chang'an is expensive, and it doesn't hurt for the kid to pay for himself, but there is also a stepmother and sister-in-law, I can't bear to suffer with the kid?" ”

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "The prince's attendant is equivalent to the prince's personal guard, originally it was not in the grade, and the emperor was allowed to go from the ninth grade during the Wude period, and I made it in the Tang Dynasty, and Lu rice was two stones and five buckets." ”

"So little?" Wang Xi knows how much a stone is, and it is strange that this bit of food is not hungry.

Li Er waved his hand and said: "Su Guogong said that you and your mother were trapped underground in order to avoid Hu Yu that day, and for the sake of your mother and sister-in-law, you cut your flesh and blood to feed them with your own bones and blood. I specially give you a Chang'an mansion and 100 catties of copper to reward you for your loyalty and filial piety of cutting blood and feeding relatives! ”

Wang Xi was led out of the palace gate easily by the little eunuch, Ouyang Yin was no longer here, but the little eunuch turned around and went back, was he sent by a carriage and horse in the morning, and he didn't care when he went back? How the hell am I going to go back? Seeing that it was afternoon, Wang Xi didn't eat lunch at all, and wanted to taste what Li Er's imperial banquet was like, but he didn't expect it to be sent out like this.

Wang Xi, who was slandering Li Er's stinginess, didn't go far before he saw Cheng Chumo, who was bored and squatting on the ground to draw.

Cheng Chu saw Wang Xi come out, and hurriedly ran over happily: "How is the brother?" What kind of official did Your Majesty give you? ”

Wang Xi pouted and said: "The prince reads, from the ninth grade, a sesame petty official who has just entered the stream." ”

Cheng Chumo grew up and said: "Brother is really capable, and don't underestimate the high grade of the prince's attendant, brother doesn't know how many ministers of the state broke their heads and wanted to send their sons and nephews to the palace to serve but could not get it, and only the nephew of the eldest grandson's family has been gifted by His Majesty, your prince's attendant is much rarer than my brother's eight-grade Xuanjie captain!" ”

"Is it..."

In the Mingde Palace, Li Er looked at the Confucians in the palace: "What do you think?" ”

Gao Shilian said: "Your Majesty, this son is of unknown origin, and he is about to enter my Tang Army when he opens his mouth, the minister is worried that there is something else, such an unknown person stays with His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid it is inappropriate, please think twice!" ”

Wang Gui said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Kong Yingda: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Xiao Yu: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Fang Du and Wen Yanbo were silent, Li Er didn't care, looked at Li Gang and said, "What does Mr. Wen Ji think?" ”

Li Gang stroked his gray beard and said: "The words are sharp, the insights are unique, and they cannot be taught by famous teachers who have learned from universities, and their words and deeds are different from ordinary people, the minister thinks that His Majesty can try it, as for his words and the origin of Yunmeng Mountain, the minister does not know why, but the minister."

It is understandable to think that there are untruthful words, he once said that the disciples of the Guigu Mountain rarely have a good death, and there is something to do in the history books, even if it is Zhang Zifang of the four hundred years of Wanghan, it is also a successful retreat to avoid the rabbit and dead dog of the Han King, Yunmeng Mountain has been hidden for many years, and it is reasonable to be cautious, and if there is really such a huge mountain gate behind Wang Xi, whether it can be used by His Majesty depends on how His Majesty treats Wang Xi. As for other possibilities, what Grandpa Cheng said, Grandpa Cheng passed by Zhangjia Zhuangzi on a temporary basis, and the little grandfather went half a day late, Wang Xi's mother and son were no longer alive, if it was a conspiracy, it would lead the Turkic slaughter village, and then lead the little grandfather to pass by, the old man thought that it was impossible, and those who could make a loyal and filial act of cutting blood and feeding relatives were definitely not great evildoers! ”

Li Er said with satisfaction: "What Mr. Wen Ji said is very satisfying, no matter what his background is, as long as it is useful to the country, I dare to use it, whether it is a meritorious minister who fought the world with me, or a political veteran who determined the court for me, I will be knighted with merit, and I will not hesitate to reward, I will never do the thing of cooking the rabbit and the dead dog, I treat it with sincerity, and I also believe that my monarchs and ministers are at peace and can share the wealth!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers stood up and congratulated.

Wang Xi didn't know that when he was walking on thin ice in the Mingde Palace, his stepmother Cui was also receiving a distinguished guest.

Duchess Suguo took a sip of tea and said, "Xi'er's way of cooking tea is really unique, the entrance is fragrant, and there is no meat at all. is worthy of being a son of a master, but my sister has picked up a good son. ”

Cui's movements were elegant and full for Mrs. Cheng: "Sister may as well get straight to the point, although you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, in the end, it is from a door, why bother talking about him left and right?" ”

Duchess Suguo smiled: "How else to say, this fate has its own destiny, that day Chu Mo rescued your mother and son, I saw that my sister is familiar, I haven't seen it for many years, and I didn't dare to think that it was really my sister until yesterday, my sister left that year, and there was no news for many years, how good have I been these years?" ”

Cui Shi looked at Mrs. Cheng strangely, and only after a long time did he sneer: "Sister is still so scheming, if you and I have not been friends since childhood, as far as Fang Cai said, it should be considered that my sister is deliberately sarcastic, you and I have known each other since childhood, so we can avoid unnecessary temptation." ”

Mrs. Cheng sighed helplessly: "Alas, my sister is still so free, what can I do?" It was the post of the old family owner who was handed into the Suguo Mansion, saying that he wanted to see Xi'er, but he was pushed by his father, and the family owner sent a letter to me, what can I do? ”

Cui Shi snorted angrily: "What does the old immortal want to do? ”

Mrs. Cheng opened her mouth and stammered: "Cui Yingying, you have been used to living in the countryside all these years, and your words are so presumptuous, how dare you do this?!" ”

Cui Shi looked angry, but he did not refute it.

Mrs. Cheng said again: "The old master heard that my sister received a righteous son, who was the descendant of the great sage Guiguzi in the pre-Qin period, so he sent a letter and asked if the Cui family needed help to take care of one or two, since he worshipped the Cui family's daughter as his mother, he was also half of the Cui family..."

"Don't think!" Cui Shi shouted angrily, his chest rose and fell sharply, obviously angry: "On that day, he did not hesitate to surrender his identity and marry me to Laihu'er's family in order to tie up with Rongguo Gonglai'er!" forced my parents to die of grief, but fortunately, although my husband was from a humble background, he loved me in every way, and I was glad to be able to marry a lover, but what was the result?! As soon as Rong Guogong died, he couldn't wait to hunt down my husband in order to tie up with the Yuwen family again, and tired me to die of the fetus in my womb for several months, how could he have been my family!? ”

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly comforted: "Okay, okay, my sister is not angry, the head of the family did too much back then, and I don't blame my sister, okay, so as not to be angry..."

After comforting for a long time, Cui Shi suddenly chuckled: "The old guy has been planning for half his life, sacrificing his children and relatives to marry everywhere, what is the result?" Qinghe Cui's clan, the first major clan of the Northern Dynasty and the Later Wei Dynasty, now there is only one Cui Yixuan who has done Zuo Shilangzhong, from the petty official of the fifth grade, and Cui Yixuan is more than half a hundred years old, I am afraid that there is no hope of being promoted, Qinghe Cui's family now has no official in the court, and there is no successor talent, decline is inevitable, the old guy has calculated for half a lifetime to get this result, and he can still live, and he must have run out of time. ”

looked at Mrs. Cheng again and said: "Cui Zhen, but you have good luck, your father tried his best to marry you to the green forest man as a concubine, never thought that in a blink of an eye, you not only turned into a big house, but also became the Duchess of Suguo!" It's a pity, Grandpa Cheng is a shrewd person, I'm afraid the old guy can't count on it...

Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her former well-informed sister so crazy, and said helplessly: "Tell me what I have planned?" I knew that I would ignore such an errand, and it was just a letter from the family, and I didn't receive it because I didn't receive it, and it was better than letting my sister be sarcastic. ”
