Chapter 113: Life is like a chess puzzle

Li Xuanba said goodbye to Yang Ling and went back to the Tang State Mansion.

Yang Guang sent Xiao Xiaowei and others to the Tang State Mansion, originally to protect Li Xuanba, but Xiao Xiaowei and they were Yang Guang's people after all, and Li Xuanba had some things that were inconvenient for them to do.

After having lunch at the Shixian Residence, Li Xuanba and Wei Zheng said a word, and then left with Li Jiuzhi and Liang Xiao. Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling sent Li Xuanba outside the mansion, watched Li Xuanba board the carriage and leave, and did not return to the mansion for a long time.

"Childe still doesn't dare to believe us too much." It wasn't until the carriage disappeared that Fang Xuanling sighed slightly and said, "Xuancheng, do you think I should still stay in the Tang State Mansion?" ”

Wei Zheng was silent for a moment and replied: "Xuan Cheng didn't say anything important with Gongzi last night, Brother Xuanling, you are really wrong to blame Gongzi." ”

"Really?" Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Actually, it is understandable that Gongzi is wary of us, Xuancheng doesn't need to comfort me." ”

"Childe didn't watch out for you in the first place, so why should I say words of relief?" Wei Zheng turned around and went back to the house, made a gesture of please, Fang Xuanling arched his hand, and the two entered the room one after another.

Compared to the severe cold outside the house, the room was undoubtedly much warmer, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling sat opposite each other, each having something to say. However, Wei Zheng had just said what he had just said, Fang Xuanling naturally did not interrupt, he sat quietly on the edge of the charcoal stove, waiting for Wei Zheng to continue.

"Don't hide it from Brother Xuanling, when I chatted with my son last night, I asked him why I didn't invite you to talk together." Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said: "Gongzi did not hesitate when he answered, he said: There is nothing important, so why bother Brother Xuanling to rest. ”

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng got along for some time, and believed in him very much, hearing Wei Zheng's explanation, Fang Xuanling's face couldn't help showing shame, and said: "Xuanling's strength is really far from that of Gongzi. ”

"Actually, what Brother Xuanling said is not entirely wrong." Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "It's just that the person Gongzi doesn't believe in is not you, only Keming." After Keming left Luoyang, there was no news, presumably Brother Xuanling had already made up his mind in his heart. ”

"Keming's talent is better than you and me, how can Xuan Ling guess his thoughts?" Fang Xuanling didn't want to talk about others behind his back, so he replied casually.

Wei Zheng stared at Fang Xuanling for a while, and saw that Fang Xuanling was indifferent, and understood that it was impossible to ask anything from his mouth, so he said calmly: "Why does Brother Xuanling think that Gongzi doesn't trust you?" Is it just because of what happened last night? ”

"Am I such a stingy person?" Fang Xuanling smiled slightly and said, "Maybe it's because I don't know much about my son, so I have such an idea." ”

"Brother Xuanling, you might as well come and hear it." Wei Zheng said with great interest: "Xuan Cheng really wants to know what kind of person Gongzi is in Brother Xuan Ling's heart. ”

Wei Zheng and Li Xuanba have known each other for several months, but he feels that he has never been able to see through Li Xuanba's character, so he is very curious about Fang Xuanling's evaluation of Li Xuanba.

"When I first met my son, I only thought he was a slightly immature teenager, and the second time I met, I felt that he was simple and unrestrained." Fang Xuanling sat down and said seriously: "But when Childe came back this time, I felt that Childe was not what I imagined. ”

Wei Zheng pondered for a moment, and said with some puzzlement: "I have combed through what Childe has done in the past few days, and I have not found any problems, I wonder what Brother Xuanling saw from which thing Childe is not simple?" ”

"As the saying goes, life is like chess, the authorities are enigmatic, and the bystanders are clear." Fang Xuanling said: "You have known Gongzi for a long time, and some things are naturally difficult to understand. ”

Wei Zheng pondered again, he knew in his heart that what Fang Xuanling said was true. Since Li Xuanba rescued him, coupled with the fact that he had no way to serve the country, Wei Zheng had actually served Li Xuanba as the main one, so no matter what Li Xuanba did, he just tried his best to help, and never considered Li Xuanba's intentions. Of course, Li Xuanba has never done anything to be sorry for the imperial court.

Fang Xuanling saw Wei Zheng's appearance, afraid that he would think too much, so he continued: "Since Brother Xuancheng has decided to follow Gongzi, he should feel happy at this time, not worried. ”

"Brother Xuanling hasn't made up his mind yet?" Wei Zheng heard the sound outside the strings, raised his head and said: "Since Gongzi has brought Brother Xuanling's family to Luoyang, he naturally wants to reuse Brother Xuanling, why do you have to draw a line with Gongzi?" ”

"Before seeing Gongzi as a person, Shu Xuanling didn't dare to rashly serve him as the master." Fang Xuanling said bluntly: "Xuancheng, what do you think of the matter of the son's visit to the Du Mansion to ask for marriage?" ”

Wei Zheng thought for a while and replied: "Thoughtful, resolute, and knowledgeable, Master Du can't refuse." ”

"That's true, but you're ignoring something." Fang Xuanling said: "The style of the Du Mansion is not inferior to the Tang State Mansion, but don't forget that Master Du has thousands of family wealth, but he has no power or power. The reason why he dared to refuse Li Gou was just because he thought that no one in the Tang State Mansion would come forward for Li Gou. ”

Wei Zheng has always understood this truth, but he still doesn't know what went wrong in this matter.

Fang Xuanling sighed lightly, confirming that Wei Zheng had given up on Li Xuanba.

Even so, Fang Xuanling was not afraid that Wei Zheng would tell Li Xuanba what he said, so he said: "If the prince wants to propose marriage for Li Gou, he only needs to come to the door by himself, where do you need to invite Cai to sacrifice wine?" ”

"Li Gou is loyal to his son, and Gongzi also regards Li Gou as a sibling, and Gongzi is willing to invite Li Gou to sacrifice wine, Xuancheng doesn't feel strange at all." When Wei Zheng heard this, not only did he not clarify his doubts, but he was even more puzzled.

"Do you think Childe really just wants to earn face for Li Gou?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but laugh and said, "This son of ours is only afraid that he will deceive the entire Luoyang City." ”

Wei Zheng frowned, his face showed displeasure, although he respected Fang Xuanling for talent, it didn't mean that Fang Xuanling could count Li Xuanba like this.

"I'm not laughing at Childe, on the contrary, I admire Childe's scheming." Fang Xuanling realized that he was laughing a little too much, which caused a misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained: "If it is just to propose, it is enough for the prince to invite the doctors of the prince's prison, and the status of the businessman is low, why did the prince let them participate in it?" What is ingenious is that the eyes of the people of the world are all on Cai Xijiu, and few people pay attention to these big families in Dongjun. ”

If Wei Zheng doesn't understand anymore, then he won't be able to go down through the ages. But listening to it doesn't mean that he believes Fang Xuanling's speculation.

"Do you think Childe intends to win over these people in Dongjun?" Wei Zheng shook his head and smiled: "With the status of the son, it is too late for these people in Dongjun to tie up the son, so where do they need the son to take the initiative to solicit?" ”

"If Childe doesn't give them a chance, will they be able to get Childe?" Fang Xuanling smiled meaningfully and said: "As you said, Gongzi is deeply loved by His Majesty, and his marriage with the princess has basically been decided, and now he has been appointed as General Huwei, do you think those big families dare to visit Gongzi rashly?" ”

Fang Xuanling's analysis was not unreasonable, but after all, it was just his guess, Wei Zheng thought about it seriously for a moment, shook his head and said: "Compared to your guess, I still believe that Gongzi just wants to help Li Gou." ”

"Then why did the boy take Nine Fingers and Liang Xiao away?" Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "I hope I'm thinking too much, I always feel that Gongzi is planning something." ”

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling have never quarreled since they met, but this time they broke up unhappily. Looking at Wei Zheng who was leaving with his sleeves brushed up, Fang Xuanling only felt a little lost, and he couldn't help but think: If he is still here, he should be able to discuss with me soberly, right?
