Li Ronghe slandered in his heart that the road was narrow, and his mouth was perfunctory, "Yes, what a coincidence." ”

Xie Xuan looked at her, a little happy and couldn't hide it, "Are you here to drink tea?" ”

Li Ronghe shook his head, "I didn't mean that, I just happened to pass by." ”

I'm leaving.

"You can come in and sit down." Xie Xuan didn't seem to understand the impatience in her tone, and continued to speak, and by the way, he turned his body to the side and let in.

He put on the posture of the master and greeted Li Ronghe, but the shopkeeper on the side was always silent, and seemed to be a little jealous.

This attitude made Li Ronghe feel a little strange, "What does Xie Lang have to do with this teahouse?" ”

Xie Xuan said with a smile, "No, it is the owner of this teahouse." ”

……

……

In the private room, Xie Xuan first instructed the shopkeeper to serve a few exquisite refreshments, and then ordered Xie Mo to stay outside the door, so that he sat opposite Li Ronghe unhurriedly and poured tea for her.

This teahouse is very large, divided into six sides of the small building staggered enclosure, in the middle is a large garden, the pavilion in the garden water pavilion, is to imitate the layout of the Jiangnan garden.

The room is transparent, with a total of six large windows on the left and right. One side faces the garden, the other faces the street.

The windows facing the street were all covered with bamboo curtains, so that the people inside could see the outside, while the people outside did not know what was inside.

Qin Lang'er and Baozhu sat at the other end of the room across a screen from Li Ronghe and Xie Xuan. Refreshments were also prepared in advance for the attendants.

It can not only ensure that the call can be heard, but also appropriately avoid the content of the conversation, so that everything is heard by the attendants.

Li Ronghe felt all the meticulous service in the teahouse, and even had some doubts, how could such a good teahouse close down after a few years of opening? Could it be that Xie Xuan was lying to her in her previous life?

Xie Xuan looked at her frowning and contemplative appearance, and asked softly, "What?" Is it the refreshments that are not appetizing? ”

"No, just remembering some of the past." Li Ronghe turned the teacup with his fingertips, carelessly, "How are you doing today?" ”

After speaking, I realized that I had said it.

It was really because the scene in front of her was too familiar, and she was absent-minded, so that in the face of Xie Xuan, she forgot that she should remain estranged, and showed the attitude she had when she was a husband and wife in her previous life.

In her previous life, whenever Xie Xuan returned home, she would always ask like this.

How are you doing today?

I don't really want to know how he's doing, just as a wife, a reasonable greeting after seeing her husband.

But Xie Xuan would always take the initiative to tell her something new about what happened outside after she asked this sentence.

For example, who has been deposed, who has quarreled with whom, or what sensational cases have happened in Chang'an City recently, and so on.

Since he likes to talk, she is bored to listen, just thinking that the husband and wife are tacitly covering up their embarrassment.

But that's a bit out of place today.

Too intimate and unreasonable.

Sure enough, after hearing her question, even Xie Xuan, who has always been pampered and not surprised, couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Ronghe, who came back to his senses, was a little embarrassed, and was about to find an excuse to perfunctory the past, but he heard Xie Xuan answer quickly, chatting in a homely tone, "I'm lucky today." When I went to court, His Majesty was very angry and swept all the folds down, but fortunately, my grade was not high, otherwise I would have been hit when I lost the folds. ”

Xie Xuan eased the atmosphere with a half-joking ridicule, and Li Ronghe also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked casually along the steps he gave, "I don't know why Your Majesty is so angry?" ”

"Did the county lord pay attention to Gao Yushi's case before?"

Li Rong snorted, "I've heard a little." ”

"This matter has already been decided, and Gao Yushi has also died in fear of crime, but today's letter from the Criminal Department Shangshu has changed its nature again."

Xie Xuan took a sip of tea, "Yan Shangshu accused Gao Yang of being instigated by the King of Wei, so now this case is no longer a simple courtier plotting to kill the prince, but has become fratricide." This is also the reason why His Majesty is angry. ”

King Wei?

Hearing this news, Li Ronghe's leisure was instantly swept away, and his frowns were full of solemnity.

Xie Xuan didn't care too much, after all, the King of Shu and the King of Wei were her own uncles, how could a thirteen-year-old girl not be worried and shocked after learning that her two closest uncles were fratricidal?

And Li Ronghe's solemnity was not out of shock.

Because as soon as Yun Niang's affair ended, her father informed her that the King of Shu seemed to have sent someone to the fiefdom of the King of Wei, she suspected that the King of Shu might have to target the other two imperial uncles in advance.

Now, it's just a conjecture.

What worries her is not that this happened, but the physical condition of the imperial grandfather.

In his previous life, the King of Wei was framed in the eighteenth year of Yongping, after Li Jin defeated the Turks and returned to the dynasty.

The reason for the framing is also similar to today, there is a royal history to report that the king of Wei rebelled, and the emperor sent Yan Wu to investigate.

Later, Yan Wu first found the things of the Emperor and the prince in the palace of the King of Wei, and then found the document denouncing the prince's mediocrity and demanding the abolition of Chang Liyou.

The most absurd thing is that Yan Wu found out so much "evidence", and finally gave the only thing that could truly prove that King Wei rebelled, just because he raised tens of thousands of horses.

Yan Wu's words were conclusive, and he firmly accused the King of Wei that if he had no objection, he would definitely not raise so many horses.

At that time, Emperor Yongping, who was in a hurry, also believed Yan Wu's slander because of the inscription, and immediately ordered the abolition of Li Kai's throne, demoted to a concubine, and placed under house arrest in Taichang Temple.

After that, until his death four years later, Li Kai never stepped out of Taichang Temple again.

The favorite child intended to rebel, and this incident hit Emperor Yongping very hard, causing him to turn white overnight, and his body was visibly declining, and finally even the early dynasty was changed from a daily to a five-day court.

This is not over, two years later, Li Jin concocted Li Yong's rebellion in almost the same way.

Pei Qin led people to search for hundreds of wooden sticks in the East Palace, saying that this was evidence that Li Yong planned to rebel at night and used it to light fires.

He also arrested the prince and hundreds of guards who were hunting in the palace at that time, accusing them of plotting to lead troops to attack Chang'an.

However, even though the evidence was so lame, Emperor Yongping, who was already muddy, still believed it.

The rebellion of King Wei had already made his spirit fragile to the point of vulnerability, and he didn't want to see the prince, so Emperor Yongping turned a blind eye and catered to Li Jin's wishes, and soon abolished Li Yong for the crime of rebellion, and replaced Li Jin, who had made great achievements in war, as the prince.

She didn't know what happened after that.

Because at that time, she had been placed under house arrest by Xie Xuan, who had defected to Li Jin's camp, and could not access all outside information.

I only heard intermittently that the King of Wei was dead.

Emperor Yongping died.

Li Jin succeeded to the throne.

She didn't understand what it all meant then. It wasn't until the end, the moment Chang'an fell, that she suddenly realized that the country, as early as the moment the King of Wei was deposed, was in decline at an incredible speed.

It's just that people at that time were still living in the prosperous era of Heqing Haiyan, and they never really noticed the cracks that were slowly spreading behind this prosperity.

The solemnity between Li Rong and Meiyu deepened.

She knows it's hard to save a country.

It's harder than saving my father.

But if you don't do this, what if you keep your father's position as the crown prince? Are there any eggs under the nest?

She has long had no choice.
