Chapter 143: Yingji Cockfighting, The Death of Lao Hua

In the field, a big yellow chicken was chasing a black-feathered chicken, and Li Xian shouted: "Stop! ”

This is strictly in accordance with the rules of cockfighting, generally three rounds, the first round is a trial, if one side loses, the host or guest can call a timeout. The second round is still tentative, take a break when the situation is unfavorable, feed the chickens some water, and then soothe. Of course, now it is Li Xian and the fourth Li Xulun who are fighting cocks, and it is impossible for them to appease the chickens in person, and they have their own chicken slave charged. In the third turn, the two fighting cocks will be engaged in an endless fight until one side is completely surrendered.

Cockfighting is a very old activity, and it was also very popular in the Tang Dynasty, from Li Yuan, Li Shimin to Li Zhi, all of whom loved this activity. Wang Bo wrote that article, and it hit the steel plate, not that Li Zhi restrained his son from letting them play cockfighting, but implied instigation. This is what Li Zhi, who is suffering deeply, cannot tolerate the most.

The original prince, because of illness and poor health, rarely even went out, did not like cockfighting, and Li Wei was not very happy, so the East Palace was gone. But the second Li Xian, the third Li Xian, and the fourth Li Xulun all have special minions, raising fighting cocks, also called chicken slaves.

Not only do you need to choose a good chicken, but you also need to raise and train it, which is also a science.

Seeing that the gap between the two sides was so small, Li Xulun didn't look very good, called the chicken slave aside, looked at the third brother who was smiling proudly not far away, and asked in a low voice: "Why is it so bad?" ”

The chicken slave said mysteriously: "His Royal Highness King Ji, don't worry, this chicken is very insidious, you just wait to see a good show." ”

As he spoke, he brought some water and gave it to the black chicken to drink, and the second round began.

The black chicken is still very afraid, just running, maneuvering, even Li Xian, who is quite familiar with this, watched the battle from the sidelines, and frowned, the fourth chicken slave is not good, the chicken chosen is too bad. Li Xian smiled even more proudly, touched Li Xulun's head and said, "I said fourth brother, you are still young, this chicken road is not something you can play." ”

After resting again, he continued to maneuver, and after chasing for a long time, the black rooster couldn't fight, but he escaped quickly, and the yellow rooster gradually lost his fighting spirit. Suddenly, the black chicken provoked in turn, and when the yellow chicken pounced, it fled again, and then provoked, and gradually the yellow chicken's physical strength was exhausted, and the black chicken began to fight back, as if the chicken had been changed before and after. The two chickens really fought, and they fell to the ground.

After a while, the yellow chicken was pecked in many places, including the cockscomb, which was pecked by the black chicken and began to run away. He couldn't run, so he fell to the ground and wailed.

Li Xulun waved his hand happily and said, "Okay, it's good." ”

Li Xian said angrily: "Sure enough, who raises what chicken, his staff is insidious, and the chicken slaves under him are also insidious, even a chicken is very insidious." ”

"Third brother, what do you say? I've explained it to you many times, and I haven't met that Ming Chongyan a few times at all, and the words he said don't add up to twenty sentences. What does he do to me? ”

"So he used to pretend to be a ghost, don't you know?"

"I really don't know, third brother, you won't say that I instructed you, right? It's just that if the eldest brother has something, the second brother will benefit, and what does it have to do with me. Li Xulun was anxious, after all, he was still a little younger, although some things were not understood at first, the city government was not very deep, and he said it openly.

"What are you fighting for, fighting cocks, you can actually quarrel!" Li Xian couldn't listen to it anymore, and while talking, he stopped between them and said, "Isn't it just a cockfight?" Tomorrow I will give one to each of you, better than both of you. Also, you have to think about how the eldest brother got along with us when he was in Xijing, and the brother must learn to be humble. Especially the third brother, how many years older than the fourth brother, won't you let it go? ”

"His Royal Highness King Pei said this well," there was a sound, and the three of them turned their heads and saw Xu Jingzong coming over.

For this minister, the other ministers were jealous, and several princes were equally jealous. Don't think you're a prince, how did the former crown prince Li Zhong die? Instead, the three of them said in unison: "I've seen Xu Xianggong." ”

"Don't dare, the minister is just a little better in the past few days, come and see a few highnesses. I just heard the remarks of His Royal Highness King Pei, who called His Royal Highness His Highness, and sure enough, the person is like his name, and the person is like his name," Xu Jingzong praised again and again.

Li Xian began to be puzzled, thought for a while, and suddenly his face changed, and said: "Xu Xianggong has won the award, and he doesn't dare to be it." ”

So he said some more words, and Xu Jingzong said goodbye.

I also heard some remarks, it seems that the eldest brother is accusing this Xu Jingzong, and the main envoy Ming Chongyan framed the eldest brother, whether it is true or false, they can't tell. But he also faintly harbored hostility and vigilance towards Xu Jingzong. Seeing this frightened old fellow coming for no reason, and leaving for no reason, the three brothers looked at each other. Li Xian asked suspiciously, "Second brother, what is he doing here?" ”

"God knows," Li Xian shrugged: "Third brother, Xu Xianggong's thoughts, can you guess it?" ”

Li Xian shook his head.

But Li Xian has already guessed something, but he didn't say it, and it's not easy to say.

Xu Jingzong is not in a hurry, some things are in a hurry, just like crops, the seeds are sown in the spring, and they can only be harvested when the autumn comes. Although Ming Chongyan has left the capital, this seed is sown very strongly. Some of the words just now also sowed seeds.

The carriage returned to the house, and two pretty maidservants helped him out of the carriage. Xu Jingzong didn't mention anything else, this is very similar to Mrs. Rongguo, she is old, but her work is not old, and it seems that the older she gets, the more energetic she becomes. Almost every night, I have to sleep with a pretty maid.

When he came to the study, he said to the maidservant, "Call Uncle Zhong." ”

Zhongbo is the servant who went to Luoyang, I don't know what his surname is, but he has followed Xu Jingzong for a long time and has done many things for Xu Jingzong. It is Xu Jingzong's most reassuring servant subordinate, and he is given the surname Xu.

The old servant walked in, and Xu Jingzong said again: "I have to bother you to run again." ”

"Xianggong, this is what a servant should do."

"This trip, it's a little far, but it's not in a hurry, you should continue to go to the mountains and rivers, and after so many years, it's time to relax."

"The servant doesn't dare. Don't know where to go? ”

"You go to the Eastern Capital first, give this letter to Xiao Yun, the second letter to Yun Heshan, and the third letter to Quan Hu, but don't let others know about this trip. After reading the letter, they will go to Shenzhou with you. Then give the fourth letter to Ming Chongyan. ”

"Xianggong, he can't help him anymore, and this person is a little disobedient."

"How obedient he is, what if he is disobedient, this person should not be underestimated, and if he goes, Boyan cannot be controlled. It's better to let go and increase his strength, let him be like a tiger, this time he doesn't ask him to do something, it is a charcoal in the snow, and when he is developed in the future, it is enough to bring Boyan with him. Xu Jingzong knew very well in his heart that his physical support would not last long, and Ming Chongyan wanted to use it again, even if he gave him some support, there was still some time, I am afraid that when he used it again, he would not be able to survive it.

The old servant sighed in his heart, he was really unwilling to let go of the prince even if he died. However, the grudge between the two sides has ended, even if the prince is Prince Ren, the end of the Xu family after coming to power is inevitable, and the Xianggong is forced to do this, although it is the beginning of the public. said: "Oh, it's just that the servant is worried that he still won't be able to help him up." ”

"It's okay, I've arranged it for him, there's no hurry. Maybe when you don't need it, you can calmly get the prince out of the prince's position, you go. ”

"Whoa." The old servant retreated, and Xu Jingzong said again: "Call Su Mingda." ”

Su Mingda walked in, and Xu Jingzong said, "Is the medicine ready?" ”

"It's ready," Xu Mingda took out a medicine bag from his arms.

"Come with me." As he spoke, he took Su Mingda to a side room, which was a little shabby, and it was Yu's room. Originally, he lived in the main house, but since the affair with his son was discovered by Xu Jingzong, Xu Jingzong was furious, and his son was taken to Lingnan, not to mention a concubine, so he was thrown to this shabby back room.

"Meet Xianggong," Yu Shi cautiously walked over and saluted, and secretly glanced at his face, glanced at Su Mingda behind him, and his body couldn't help but tremble twice.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's raining a little, and the slave is a little unwell."

"Let a certain take a look," Xu Jingzong finished speaking, and couldn't help but grab her wrist, take a pulse, and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the body is a little weaker, and a certain person just entered the palace and asked the imperial doctor for some tonics, Mingda, bring the medicine." ”

"Yes."

"Boil it for the lady."

"Yes." Su Mingda finished speaking and boiled up the medicine. His face was also very calm, since that night, the master, the little concubine who had fallen out of favor, might have heard the conversation of his group, and he had expected it to be today.

Yu's face turned pale, and he said, "The slave has already taken medicine, and it is not good to take it again." ”

"It's up to you, or so-and-so has the final say."

Yu sighed in his heart, he did not escape this catastrophe, and said with a trace of luck: "Xianggong, for the sake of the slave and maid who have served you for many years, you can let me go." How about locking the slave in this room? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why did he lock you up? ”

"Xianggong, you can do it." Yu shivered and hugged Xu Jingzong's thigh and begged for mercy.

Xu Jingzong knew that this little concubine had understood the purpose of his trip, so he glanced at Su Mingda, Su Mingda understood, brought the medicinal soup over, and said, "The medicine is boiled, please take the medicine." ”

"I don't drink, I don't drink!" Yu rushed over frantically, wanting to knock over the medicinal soup, but was hugged by Xu Jingzong, Su Mingda came over and forcibly pried her mouth open, and poured the medicinal soup into it.

Seeing that the drug had attacked, Xu Jingzong let go, and Yu said: "Xu Jingzong, you are not as good as a beast, and one day you will not die well." ”

"Don't worry, there are many people who say so-and-so, but so-and-so is still very happy. But for the sake of acquaintance, I will bury you beautifully. ”

The so-called burial of scenery may also be true, but the burial is fake, and the accumulation of wealth is real. The concubine who has been with him for many years died, and those who wanted to stammer naturally came to mourn, and the condolences had to be gifted. Seeing no, from the crown prince to the prime ministers, he is still as safe as Mount Tai when he is impeached. This is status, this is the emperor's favor, and there is a thicker queen's favor. There will be no fewer stammers.

The liking of money is Xu Jingzong's biggest hobby, although the Xu Mansion will not be short of money now, but it is still good to have a lot.

Yu Shi thought of his tragic death, even death, and the tool he used to make money, he was furious, and the toxicity was also attacked, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he died immediately. It's just that the eyes are still unwilling to be open.

Xu Jingzong closed her eyes for her and muttered, "Actually, you should have died a long time ago." ”

Then he said to Su Mingda: "The lady died of a violent illness, let's prepare for the future." ”

"Whoa!"

The rain was still falling, and the death of this controversial concubine immediately spread throughout Chang'an. The reason why it has dragged on for so many days is mainly because of the dispensing of medicine, the prescription is very clever, at first glance, how does it not look like it was poisoned, but it is like being poisoned, just ask which official is not interesting to find himself, come to inquire?

When night came, in front of Xu's house, there was a lot of traffic. It was getting dark, and there were more people, so the servants hung up the lanterns, the bright lanterns, the splendid mansion with golden walls, the countless vehicles at the door, and the porter kept singing the names of the guests......
