In the Qingxu Temple outside Chengdu, Mrs. Xie has a long robe with wide sleeves, making tea with a tone, and she looks like a master who is out of the world.

Jian Xiang sat opposite Old Lady Xie, watched him make tea, glanced at him slightly and said, "It seems that your little grandson is really not in your heart." Also, I don't like it when I was born, I grew up so big, and I haven't been by your side for a day, which is just a surname Xie. ”

"You and I, people like us, whether we love our children or not, do you take it to heart, do you see if you read it three times a day and think about it five times?

She is not a foolish woman. ”

Old Lady Xie glanced back.

"Your little grandson, dead." Jian Xiang said happily and simply, picked up the tea, and lifted Erlang's legs again.

Old lady Xie didn't raise her eyelids.

"Huh? Do you not believe me, or do you not care? Jian Xiang placed the cup on the tea table.

"Aze is really going to die, do you still have time to sit here and drink tea with me? At this time, even this Chengdu City, I'm afraid that there will be smoke and dust, don't you say that Yang Rui, the Duke of Lu, has already arrived at Jinghu South Road?

If you were calm, you were inferior to me in the past, and now you are even worse than me. ”

Old lady Xie said unceremoniously.

"It's past the Sword Gate." Jian Xiang lowered his eyes, sighed, picked up the cup again, and lowered his head to drink tea.

"That's soon, you're done?" Old lady Xie also picked up a cup and drank tea.

"What do I think? I don't have much to think about. Jian Xiang replied coldly.

"Didn't you say that your little granddaughter is very similar to the big girl when she was a child?" Old lady Xie looked at Jian Xiang.

"I can't even take care of my daughter, let alone my granddaughter. Each man has his own blessing. Who can control whom? ”

Jian Xiang looked away and looked at the mountain mist outside the pavilion.

Old Lady Xie also looked out of the pavilion.

The two of them drank tea slowly, and neither of them spoke again.

……………………

After Xie Ze's team passed the Jianmen Pass, they accelerated their journey, and three days later, An Xiaorui, who was at the forefront, stood outside the gate of Chengdu Mansion.

Outside the city of Chengdu, it is also very lively and prosperous, on both sides of the spacious road facing the city gate, there are many shops, inside the shops, crowded with people, curious and frightened, looking at the long queue with bright clothes and shoes.

It was already the end of the day, and the long line stayed in the mansion first.

The Di shop is arranged by the shopkeeper of Shang Da, and the warehouse of Shang Ji Mule and Horse Company.

Xie Ze had just cleaned his face and changed his clothes and came out, and the shopkeeper was already holding a few wax pills and a few letters waiting for him.

Xie Ze read the letter first.

The first letter was written by Yang Rui, the Duke of Lu, and listed three things simply and clearly:

First, the princess of Qin was speechless and behaved perversely, and was reprimanded by the emperor in public, and was demoted to the lord of Xinling, and the food was reduced from 1,000 households to 300 households.

The second is that the grassland locusts are plagued, and the khans of the two major tribes in the north ask to come to Beijing for an audience.

The third is the harvest year of Huguang, the merchants collect grain at a high price and sell it to the north, Huguang area, Shujin is prevalent, and there is a shortage of goods in many places.

After Xie Ze finished reading, he handed it to the shopkeeper and motioned for him to take a look as well.

After sweeping the ten lines at a glance, Xie Ze had already finished reading the second letter and handed it to the shopkeeper.

After Xie Ze, the shopkeeper of Shang Da looked up at Xie Ze after reading the last wax pill.

"You accompany Huo Wencan and Zhou E to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver the greeting post and see the situation."

Xie Ze commanded in a deep voice:

"Let people pay attention to the gossip in the market, and write these things, especially Lu Guogong's letter, no one here knows."

The shopkeeper agreed one by one and withdrew.

Xie Ze called in Shi Nan and ordered him to go to Qingxuguan now.

An Xiaorui picked twenty or thirty people, escorted Xie Ze and Li Ran, Wang Ji and Zi Qi were dressed similarly, followed Li Ran, came out of the mansion together, and went to Qingxuguan.

Zhou E and Huo Wencan changed into dresses, Zhou E didn't bring it alone, Huo Wencan brought two small servants, and the monk shopkeeper went straight to the prime minister's mansion in the city.

……………………

In Qingxuguan, the old lady Xie was playing a slow tune, and a little Taoist priest trotted in all the way, seven or eight steps away, and said in a crisp voice: "There is a general Xie at the door, please see the old lady." ”

Old lady Xie paused with her fingers and stood up with a sigh, "I'll take a look, thank you." ”

Before he finished speaking, Old Man Xie had already crossed the little Taoist priest and rushed down the steps with him.

Xie Ze and Li Ran stood side by side at the door of the Taoist temple, talking in a low voice, admiring the picturesque scenery around them.

When Old Man Xie rushed down from the wide more than a dozen steps inside the Taoist Gate, Xie Ze and Li Ran almost couldn't react, and Old Man Xie was already standing in front of the two.

"Just arrived? Good, sooner than I expected. When he said the last few words, Old Man Xie's throat choked.

Since he lived in this Qingxu Temple, in order to show his honesty and not to anger Jian Xiang, he was isolated in this Taoist temple, and he also self-isolated here, all the news came from Jian Xiang's words, and Jian Xiang said to him.

These days, he is worried about the safety of Aze and his party, and he can't sleep until he can't sleep at night, but he has to pretend to sleep soundly all night.

At this moment, seeing Xie Ze standing in front of him intact, Rao is old man Xie's cultivation that really collapsed and did not change color, was also instantly shattered, and he was choked up unspeakably.

Xie Ze couldn't see any expression on his face, from Old Man Xie's slightly trembling legs, he saw the hosta running crooked on his head, stepped forward half a step, raised his hand and pressed back the hosta that was crooked on Old Man Xie's head.

"Let's go in and talk." Old Man Xie took a few deep breaths, calmed his mind, and motioned to Xie Ze and Li Ran.

Xie Ze snorted, stretched out his hand and pulled Li Ran, half a step behind Old Man Xie, and walked up the stairs.

Old Man Xie didn't go to the courtyard he borrowed, his courtyard was very small, surrounded by houses, and he couldn't hide anything from people, he chose there in the first place to show openness, and if he wanted to talk to Xie Ze at this time, it would be inappropriate there.

Old man Xie followed Xie Ze and Li Ran, behind Xie Ze and Li Ran, An Xiaorui put his hands behind his back, looked around as he walked, and his attitude was idle, behind An Xiaorui, followed by Shi Nan and other seven or eight small people, and the rest of the people and horses stayed outside the Taoist temple.

Passing through the Taoist temple and arriving at the pavilion with excellent scenery, Old Man Xie pointed to the pavilion and said with a smile: "Jian Xiang loves the scenery here, every time I come, he and I are here to drink tea and talk, and we are also here to talk." ”

"Hello old man." An Xiaorui stretched out his head from behind, and greeted Master Xie first, and then said with a smile: "The scenery here is so good, I'll walk around, you talk." ”

"Go, go, where the Dao Gate is, it's a place with a great view." Old Man Xie replied with a smile.

"Be careful." Xie Ze commanded in a low voice.

"Hmm." An Xiaorui smiled in response, beckoned to Xiqing and Sang Zhi, and the three of them walked over to the pavilion first.

Old Man Xie and Xie Ze, Li Ran, and Wang Ji entered the pavilion and sat down, and Shi Nan and others went to the Taoist Temple to ask for a red clay oven in Hongwang, boiling water and making tea.

"Is the road smooth?" Old Man Xie watched Shi Nan and the others boil water, turned his eyes to Xie Ze, and asked slowly.

"Hmm." Xie Ze only hummed, and after a moment, he looked at Old Man Xie and asked, "You have been in this Taoist temple all along?" ”

"Well, after I arrived, I didn't enter the city, I went directly into this Taoist temple, and I never went out of the gate again."

Old Man Xie said, laughing.

"Thinking, you should be there soon, you arrived a day or two faster than I thought, and you haven't entered the city yet?"

"Well, Huo Wencan and Zhou E went into the city to hand over the stickers."

"It's best to hand over the stickers. On your trip, on the surface, these courtesies are better for private than public.

The day after I arrived here, Jian Xiang came, and the first time we met, it was better than I imagined. ”

Old Man Xie smiled slightly, and then sighed.

"Alas, he was very sick, terminally ill, and it seemed that he did not have much time left.

This one, from the first time he came back to see me, he didn't hide it at all, he promised to let you and Ah Ran come to Chengdu Mansion, I think, there is the idea of entrusting Shuzhong to go, but he has a hard temperament, and he was extremely resentful of Emperor Renzong ...... without a fight."

Old Man Xie paused.

"He used a descending word.

Jian Xiang is a strong, brave, and extremely stubborn person, but many times he can't justify himself in what he thinks.

At the beginning, I studied with him under Prime Minister Wang, and he was often asked by Prime Minister Wang a few words, but just like that, he rarely changed it, at that time, his fragmented ideas and articles that were refuted by Wang Laocheng, after he meditated hard, still couldn't justify himself, he would leave it alone.

This time, I think, I'm afraid it's the same.

He felt that Shuzhong should fight fiercely, even if he died to the last person, but he was not brutal, and he couldn't treat countless lives as nothing.

He felt that Ah Ran was born in evil, but he had to admit that Ah Ran was a descendant of Renzong, although Ah Ran's surname was Li.

He hated Emperor Renzong's weakness, and he thought that Emperor Renzong's edict was weakness. But he respected Emperor Renzong the most.

He felt that it was Empress Xian'an who instigated Emperor Renzong to give up because of the collapse of the An family, and she wanted to take the entire dynasty to bury the An family, but he sacrificed Empress Xian'an and sacrificed the An family like worshipping Emperor Renzong.

He couldn't justify any of this, and now, he's seriously ill, and I think he's just going to leave all these things behind, just like his fragmented articles back then. ”

"Well, he didn't claim the title of emperor." Xie Ze listened intently, looking at Old Lady Xie, a sentence seemed like a statement, but it was a question.

"I heard that after he arrived in Shuzhong, I felt that he would not be the emperor, at least in his generation, he would not be the emperor."

Old Man Xie understood the meaning of Xie Ze's question, and answered very carefully.

"In Shuzhong these days, looking at it, it is indeed as I thought.

He didn't have the idea of dominating the world and calling the king the emperor, he never had, he occupied Shuzhong, and even thought about fighting back to the Central Plains, but he didn't resent Emperor Renzong's abandonment, even if Emperor Renzong was dead, he still held his breath and wanted to fight back to the world, telling Emperor Renzong that he shouldn't have given up in the first place.

The next generation of the Jian family, the boss is talented enough, but he is too famous and gentlemanly.

When he was in the capital, at that time, Jian Mingrui was only a teenager, he enjoyed the flowers and scenery all day long, and the painting boat was lying high, and people told him that the world was ruined, he listened to it and did not hear it, and told him what to do if the country was broken, and he said that if the country was broken, he would die when he died, and he should not die, and he had his own way to die, and it was useless to think about it.

After arriving in Shuzhong, I was surprised that he was able to devote himself to government affairs and people's livelihood for so many years. ”

"He said it was because he was not angry with Princess Leping and wanted to find Princess Leping." Xie Ze glanced at Li Ran.

"Oh." Old Lady Xie frowned slightly and relaxed, "That's it, Octavia is extremely happy, alas."

Jian Xiang said a few times that Octavia, the second family, he only mentioned his little granddaughter twice, whose nickname is Sister Hui. ”

Old Lady Xie looked at Li Ran and Wang Ji, "After entering Chengdu City, if you can make good friends with this Sister Hui, it will be the best, and if you can settle Sister Hui, it will be even better." ”

Li Ran nodded, Wang Ji should be in arrears.

"Jian Xiang is an extremely open-minded person, he has the heart to be the emperor, or to achieve hegemony, inheritance, he will not be confined to his own children and grandchildren, he can do it.

However, what the second child and his family think is not necessarily. ”

"The eldest grandson of Jian Xiang, it is said that he has always regarded himself as the crown prince." Xie Ze said in a deep voice.

"Oh, alas." Old Lady Xie shook his head and sighed, "No wonder Jian Xiang never mentioned the second family." You have to be careful. Old Lady Xie looked at Xie Ze and solemnly warned.

"Hmm." Xie Ze's eyelids drooped slightly.

Wang Ji looked at Xie Ze, who only hummed, and indifferently sipped tea, and Li Ran didn't mean to speak at all, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Those things in Mianxian County were told to my grandfather, but it was just to worry my grandfather.

"Do you still live here?" Xie Ze drank a cup of tea, looked at Old Lady Xie and asked.

"Hmm." Old Lady Xie nodded, "It's best for me to live here, and Jian Xiang should still come to talk to me."

You just have to go about your business, don't worry about me, you must be careful, especially Ah Ran, you can't have anything. ”

Old lady Xie explained again.

"Hmm." Xie Ze then drank tea.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xie Ze glanced at Li Ran and stood up, "Then let's go back first, you take care." ”

"Rest assured." Old lady Xie stood up, motioned for Xie Ze and Li Ran to go forward, and said with a smile side by side with Wang Ji: "This trip is hard, but you can grow a lot of knowledge, Shu Road is difficult, you are from the Golden Bull Road?" ”

"Yes, the wai weng is walking on the Lychee Road?" Wang Ji held the elderly old lady Xie and was very distressed.

At his age, I don't know how hard this trip is.

"Well, the view is superb, much better than here. When he returned to the capital, he had to write a few articles. Old lady Xie said with a smile.

"Go back." After passing the main hall of the Taoist Temple, Xie Ze stood and looked at Old Lady Xie and said.

Old Lady Xie was stunned for a moment, her eyes were hot, and she hurriedly replied, "Okay!" Good! Weng Weng ...... Rest assured, rest assured! ”

Xie Ze looked at the excited and incoherent old lady Xie and lowered his eyes, "Let's go." ”

"Wai Weng must take care! If I have the chance, I'll come to see you again! Wang frowned and smiled.

Just now, the prince said: Weng Weng go back, Weng Weng!
