Chapter 40 The Pond Path, Talking about the World
In a corner of the garden of the General's Mansion, a man and a woman walked side by side on the cobblestone path by the pond, because there was a rockery to block it, but no one else could see the scene of the two at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The princess might as well say it directly, I really don't understand this." The man is Li Huai, and the person standing next to him at this moment is Princess Yuan Shanshan of Jingyuan, because no one else was present, Li Huai had no humility in front of people, and looked straight at Yuan Shanshan, with a smile on his face.
Yuan Shanshan came along, and when she saw the other party's expression, she was not angry, and her tone was still flat, "I remember when I was in Yecheng, you played chess with your master, and he always said that you were different from ordinary people, and others were deviant, and you didn't know what was the way at all, it turned out that I didn't believe it, and then what you did, I also thought you were an old man, but this time, don't you think it's hurtful?" "The woman is a princess, although she has not set foot in court politics, it does not mean that she does not understand what is happening in the world, but many times, she is not allowed to say anything in this world.
"I wonder what the princess is referring to?" Li Huai looked at each other, his eyes were no longer the same as before, colder, more heavy, thinking that when he was in Yecheng, Li Huai had already felt the momentum of the woman in his relationship with the other party, as well as the delicate thoughts behind her indifference, but he didn't know the identity of her princess at the beginning, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and he felt a little pity for her daughter.
"The dispute between the Prince's Mansion and Yan Xiang, how many years have finally come to fruition, he originally wanted to work hard to support the society that will be tilted, but it backfired, food prices soared, people's hearts were selfish and greedy, he was also powerless, and you? As an internal guard, not only did he not set things right, but he added fuel to the fire, and Hong Ji under your command made a lot of money, right? I heard that afterwards, the teacher explained to the prince's brother and excused you, although I don't know exactly your relationship in it, but what you did can cover up the past with a few simple words? Who should the hungry victims, the starving people, go to to collect their debts? Aren't you really afraid of being infamous as a traitor? ”
Li Huai listened to the other party's questioning, and the other party was able to say this to himself, which showed that he didn't really resent himself, but he was really at a loss in his heart, and he didn't know how to vent, "I understand what the princess meant, I should be sure to come to this traitorous minister, as for the future generations, let the people of the future generations worry about it." Li Huai couldn't help but smile bitterly as he spoke.
"What do you understand? I know that among the nine people now, you are the most valued by your father, because among the nine people, only you can make money for him, let him refine the pill and cultivate immortals, and he wants you to make money for him, so he indulges you and makes you do such evil things. At this point, the woman's eyes were already full of anger.
"Princess, today's Hong Ji is just starting, if you want to survive in this world, you must always have your own strength, everything you do now is just to follow the trend and accumulate capital, as for the disaster victims you mentioned, it can only be said that they are the victims of this era, the big clan naturally doesn't care, the court can't control it, and I Hong Ji can only take care of myself." Li Huai is telling the truth, since he came to Shangjing, took over the internal guard, and expanded Hongji, he just wants to have his own strength, the Huachao Mansion is about to fall, and if he wants to protect his relatives, he must do so.
Yuan Shanshan looked at the other party in a daze, and her heart became more and more cold, "You could have saved more people, I know, if it weren't for Hong Ji, this food shortage would only last longer, but why can't you take care of the people of the world?" I know you can! ”
Li Huai looked at the anger on the other party's face, but he was surprised that the other party could say this to himself, she was the princess of the Hua Dynasty, and she pretended to be her own people in her heart, "Princess, I still say that, follow the trend, since the general trend is like this, why should you and I hit the stone with an egg?" ”
Yuan Shanshan was silent for a moment, since she learned what Li Huai and Hong Ji had done from Shang Xue, she had a question in her heart, why couldn't the other party save the world if he could take such a heavy profit from the hands of the big clan and Yan Xiang, how could she not believe that the concubine from Yecheng could be so greedy.
"You said that you can't take care of the people, and I believe it, now that you have offended Yan Xiang and the big family, you won't go to woo the prince?" Yuan Shanshan glared at him, "You can be said to have harmed him a lot this time, he finally got the right, and lost most of it, although you gave the benefits at the time, but I know the temper of the prince's brother, and I am always unhappy in my heart, this day will be his sooner or later, I am afraid of ......"
"Princess, please allow me to say a disrespectful word, water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, today's Hua Dynasty is by no means a certain person's Hua Dynasty, the prince has to do something more dangerous than me, I'm afraid that I don't have time to care about me now." Li Huai said, with a bright smile on his face, but Yuan Shanshan on the other side opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time, just looking at the young man in front of him, his mind was blank.
In this literary meeting, Yuan Shanshan wanted to mention Li Huai first, and secondly, to persuade him to fall to the side of the prince, but she didn't expect that the other party actually said that shocking remarks, and the other party's eyes did not put the prince or Yan Xiang at all, it seemed that he was loyal and today's son, but she could clearly see that Li Huai was only loyal to herself in her heart, and when she saw this clearly, the rest of the words could not be said.
Waiting for the two of them to turn around from behind the rockery along the stone path and reappear in the eyes of everyone, there was no difference on their faces.
In the middle of the garden, there are a few bookcases, Yuan Shanshan asked Li Huai to compose poems, the other party excused himself to prepare, and fled to the back of the rockery, Yuan Shanshan actually followed, leaving the Wenhui people with a look of surprise, waiting for the two to come out, several talents have been hesitating in front of the bookcase for a long time, they are all students who went to Beijing to catch the exam, and composing poetry itself is a matter of hand, one after another someone has written, and some people are still splashing ink, of course, there are still a few people who still haven't put pen to paper.
There are already a few written poems on the bookcase, or writing scenes, or writing things, or notes, the content is different, and the rhetoric is also different, Li Huai walked to one of them, he knew each other, when he was in Yecheng, the other party was a talented man who followed Lu Qingyun from Shangjing, and after coming to Shangjing, he had also heard people mention his name, which was considered to be a bit of practical learning.
"There are pilgrims ......in the flowers" There is only one sentence of poetry on the rice paper, the other party is thinking about it when he sees Li Huai coming over, the story of yesterday's pear garden in the spring has already spread all over Shangjing, the seven gentlemen under the flowers in the moon season are famous, but they are only a foil to the name of the poet Taibai, the three poems are somehow wrapped in his heart at this moment, and the sense of literature that originally had in his mind was blank at the moment, and sweat had oozed from his forehead.
Someone next to him had already seen something strange, "Boyuan? Someone whispered a reminder, but seeing that he was still indifferent, the sweat on his forehead was a little more, and at this moment, Yuan Shanshan behind Li Huai tugged at his sleeve and motioned him to follow him, and the other party's face looked better.
It's just that this scene fell in the eyes of the people around him, but he was embarrassed, and the name of this poet was really a little scary.
"If you have time to watch others, why don't you put pen to paper early?" Yuan Shanshan looked at the other party, and after the rockery, she didn't think much about it, she really couldn't see through the other party, so she paid attention to the Wenhui again, "It's your sister-in-law in front, go say hello?" ”
Li Huai noticed the gaze cast not far away, and when he looked over, he found that Li Cai'er was already talking to the other party, and he thought about it, approaching someone who had a marriage contract with his eldest brother, and the Li family naturally wanted to go over to say hello.
Before the two of them walked over, they saw Li Chenxian in armor walking in from outside the courtyard from a distance, just came out of the palace, and rushed over as soon as he arrived at the general's mansion, still wearing the armor of the palace guards, but it was different from the scholars in the Wenhui, plus he walked fast, his figure was also burly, and he had some military atmosphere on his body, and he was more like a general's queen than Li Huai in the eyes of everyone.
