It gets dark early.

The dark horse and the golden retriever watched the excitement until it was dark, and Gu Xi, the prince of Rui, finally came out and accepted the apology of the Marquis of Yongping.

The first bet between the two of them in Jianle City was lost.

Fried rice alley, Li Sangrou just listened to the description of the black horse and the golden retriever one by one, and there was a knocker beating sound outside the courtyard gate.

The dark horse jumped up, went fast, and returned quickly.

"Boss, it's the prince, I said I'm waiting for you outside, it's the prince!"

"Hmm."

Li Sangrou stood up, went into the house and took a muslin cloak of gray squirrels, and put the cloak on her body as she walked out.

"Boss ......"

The old black horse shouted out, the big word was stuck in his throat, and there was a gloomy resentment stuck in the card, and he watched Li Sangrou go out of the door.

He wants to go too!

I really want to go!

But he didn't dare to say.

Li Sangrou walked out of the alley, followed the little maid around a few alleys, and entered the restaurant last time.

In the whole restaurant, only Li Sangrou's own footsteps were quiet.

Li Sangrou followed the little maid into the warm pavilion by the lake in the backyard.

The windows on all sides of the pavilion were open, but there was no chill in the pavilion.

Gu Xi faced the lake, sat on a comfortable rocking chair, heard the movement, turned around and motioned to Li Sangrou, "Sit." ”

Li Sangrou sat on the rocking chair next to Gu Xi and shook it, the rocking chair was very comfortable.

"What do you want to drink?" Gu Xi raised his cup and asked Li Sangrou.

"What is the best wine in Jianle City?"

Li Sangrou asked rhetorically.

Gu Xi laughed.

"Get a pot of jade for Miss Li." After instructing the little servant, Gu Xi turned to Li Sangrou and smiled: "Miss Li has never drunk alcohol in the past few months since she came to Jianle City?" ”

"Well, I didn't dare to drink it." Li Sangrou shook the rocking chair, people were casual, and words were casual.

"Don't dare?" Gu Xi's eyebrows raised, "The girl can't trust me like this?" Didn't the girl inquire about me? ”

"Where's the inquiry? How to inquire? What to inquire? You were almost killed, where can I find out the truth? ”

Li Sangrou glanced at Gu Xi obliquely and said very politely.

Gu Xi choked on Li Sangrou's string of questions.

"Then from today onwards, the girl dares to drink?"

"Hmm." Li Sangrou hummed, watched the little girl pour the wine, picked it up, took a sip, and was very satisfied. "It's a good wine."

Gu Xi looked at Li Sangrou obliquely for a moment, then reached out and took a stack of papers from the low table next to him and handed it to Li Sangrou.

"Fan Ping'an's military merit post and Enyin's paperwork.

I've already sent someone to Jiangdu City to retrieve his bones.

His real surname is Hong, and his name is Hong Jian.

After going to Nanliang, he broke off the news with his family, and his family thought he was dead, and a few years ago, he had been given a mound of clothes. ”

Gu Xi paused and sighed.

Now, he is indeed dead.

He has two sons, the eldest son has a firstborn son, a girl, and the younger son became a parent at the beginning of this year.

His home is not far from the capital, two hundred miles away.

Are you going to check it out? ”

Li Sangrou took the military merit post, glanced at it, and put it on the low table next to him.

"Don't go. I didn't know him.

spoke for him that day, but the road was uneven, and he said a few words casually. ”

Gu Xi looked at her for a moment, looked away, sipped the wine and continued:

"The jade talisman and password that instructed Fan Ping'an were given to Yun Xi with the eunuch, the eunuch with the pseudonym Liu Yun.

Yunxi's hall ticket was issued by Shen Yun, the younger brother of the Marquis of Yongping.

With the eunuch hanging, Yun Xi and other thirty-seven people were beheaded, Shen Yun was beheaded, and the seventeen domestic slaves involved in the Yongping Marquis Mansion were beheaded.

Shao Mingren, the guard of Jiangning City, fornicated with Nanliang, and the Shao family was beheaded by men over the age of seven, and the female dependents were sold into slavery. ”

Li Sangrou listened intently, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where are the archers of Beidong County!" ”

"The eunuch said that he was the Yun Mengwei who was transferred by falsely passing on the emperor's order."

After a pause, Gu Xi explained:

"When the first emperor was the prince, there were many princes, and they all had the heart to be the emperor, and they fought for nearly 30 years.

Yun Mengwei is a private army established by the emperor after opening the mansion, and later passed to the emperor, two years ago, the emperor said once, planning to put Yun Mengwei into the army after him. ”

"The Wen family was weakened in that battle, right?" Li Sangrou asked casually.

She had heard of the catastrophe in Northern Qi.

"Well, the Wen family is only loyal to the emperor and has no refuge.

All the princes wanted to win over the Wen family, and after using all their means, they turned around and stabbed the killer with a knife, so as not to be used by others.

That one was not only a catastrophe for the Wen family, but also a catastrophe for Daqi.

In the year when my grandfather was killed, the commander of the Southern Liang martial arts army drove straight in, and the vanguard went straight to the city of Jianle. ”

Gu Xi's voice was low.

Li Sangrou sighed.

The two were silent for a while, and Li Sangrou slanted at Gu Xi and asked, "So, everything is done by the eunuch?" ”

"It's not." After a while, Gu Xi lowered his eyes and said.

"Oh." Li Sang snorted indifferently and raised his glass, "This wine still can't be drunk wantonly." ”

"When the vanguard of the martial army attacked the city of Jianle, the emperor was standing on the tower of the city and cried in fright."

Gu Xi shook the wine in the crystal cup.

"If I die in Nanliang, the anger in the Great Qi army can be channeled south to Nanliang, what if I die in Jianle City?

The eldest brother said that in the emperor's heart, he only pretended to be the Jiangshan Sheji of Daqi. ”

Li Sangrou raised her eyebrows, and for a moment, she laughed, and raised her glass to Gu Xi while laughing.

"I grew up in the palace."

The two of them drank an empty glass of wine in silence, Gu Xi poured himself a glass, looked at the empty lake, and said leisurely.

Li Sangrou was pouring wine, looked sideways at Gu Xi, poured a full amount of wine, and listened to gossip with wine.

"My aunt didn't have a good time giving birth to me, and she survived for a few days, but she couldn't get through it.

Queen Xianzhang, and my aunt are cousins, the two grew up together, and they have a deep affection, and they are like sisters.

My aunt died in the arms of Queen Xianzhang, and before she died, she entrusted me to Queen Xianzhang, and Queen Xianzhang carried me into the palace at that time.

When I was a child, I always slept in the same bed with my eldest brother and ate at the same table, and Empress Xianzhang always put one hand around my eldest brother and one hand around me.

When I was twelve years old, I was crowned the prince and returned to Prince Rui's mansion.

The first time I went back, at that time Empress Xianzhang was already very ill, sitting on the chariot, holding my hand, entering from the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, along the central axis of the palace, half of Prince Rui's Mansion was encircled into my courtyard.

Empress Xianzhang said, without my aunt, there would be no Prince Rui's mansion, which is what I deserve. ”

Li Sangrou raised her wine glass and raised it in the air to salute the imposing Empress Xianzhang.

"How did King Qin become disabled?" Li Sangrou asked.

"When I was ten years old, I had an illness, and I said that it was a soft foot plague." Gu Xi was silent for a moment before replying in a low voice.

Li Sangrou sighed slowly.

"Why do you think so much about everything? I also think about the bad place! Gu Xi glanced at Li Sang Judo.

"You've thought about it too, haven't you? So I didn't say anything, you just said I was thinking too much. Li Sangrou looked at Gu Xi with a smile.

Gu Xi choked for a moment, raised his head and drank.

"Well, I've thought about it, and I've checked it, and the pulse case in the hospital is neat and detailed, and there is nothing wrong with it."

"Your eldest brother is two or three years older than you, right? Why haven't you gotten married yet? Soft foot plague does not hinder the birth of children. ”

Li Sangrou poured another glass of wine.

"Two years old.

Not all of them can have children. Big brother can't.

Before and after Empress Xianzhang became seriously ill, the eldest brother devoted himself to the whole truth, and to this day, he has been practicing for nearly ten years, but he is not a monk and does not avoid meat. ”

Gu Xi looked down at the wine in the glass.

Li Sangrou sighed again, and after a moment, sighed.

"Then the next emperor of your Northern Qi can only be the second prince? The nephew of the Marquis of Yongping?

You've just beheaded his other uncle.

I heard that he has two uncles in total? ”

"Well, second master."

Gu Xi paused, as if he was thinking about what to say.

"He's the same age as me. Soft and cowardly, very soft-hearted, when he was a child, he saw that the little waiter was sticky, and when he knew that he was struggling with his wings, he could shed tears in distress.

He has loved poetry and poetry since he was a child, and he hated history books and political theories, and he still is.

After the eldest brother became disabled, the emperor began to take him with him to study government affairs, and when asked what he thought, he often had amazing opinions that made people speechless, and this is still the case.

Later, the emperor brought the eldest brother with him, listened to the government affairs every day, and asked the eldest brother to teach him again. ”

"Churched?" Li Sangrou asked with a smile.

"Is this teachable?

After teaching for more than ten years, he only taught him to listen to his eldest brother's words, especially in government affairs. ”

Li Sangrou let out a long voice, and sighed twice.

"No wonder."

"What's the wonder?" Gu Xi glanced at Li Sangrou again.

Li Sangrou smiled and raised her glass:

"I can't tell."
