Chapter 130: The Huo Family's Decision
Today, the envoy of Dayan officially left Beijing and returned to Yan Kingdom, although Yan Linglong had already taken the lead, Xiao Rui, as the envoy, still had to personally escort the princess pretending to be Du Juan out of the city and see them leave Beijing.
It's a morning.
Wei Guang drove to send Xiao Rui back to his home, and when he passed through Jinglan Street, he happened to meet the carriage of the fifth prince Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan was coming out of the carriage, and when he saw that it was the carriage of King Xian, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately walked forward.
"Isn't this my dear seventh brother, the King of Xian, who is both civil and military?" When Xiao Yuan came over, he shouted loudly.
Xiao Rui had already lifted the curtain and walked out, got out of the carriage and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the fifth brother, it is also fate to meet in this crowd." Where is Fifth Brother going? ”
Xiao Yuan said with a smile: "I was about to go to listen to the Qu Pavilion, I heard that there was a caravan from the Great Qin Kingdom, and there were musicians in the team who were good at Qin Feng songs. Is the seventh brother free? Why don't you go together? ”
Xiao Rui wanted to refuse, but thinking of the grudge between the two, starting from the difficulties of the Inner Court Division, and then to the assassination king Cao Lu who colluded with the Great Zhao State, and now framing Zhuge Yuanba, it all has something to do with him, and he has been passively beaten, and it is time for him to see his own means.
So to go, naturally to go!
"Okay, then I'll disturb the fifth brother." Xiao Rui said with a smile.
Immediately, the two of them got into the carriage and went to the Tingqu Pavilion.
When I came to the listening pavilion, I entered an elegant and quiet wing, and the musicians in the pavilion were ready to start playing.
Xiao Rui and Xiao Yuan knelt on the ground, Xiao Yuan personally poured the wine, and said with a smile: "This is the famous Songhua Brew, the wine is fragrant and sweet, it is my favorite Fenjiu, Seventh Brother try it!" ”
Xiao Rui thanked him and tasted a glass, the degree of the wine should be at 30 degrees, which is already a high number in this era, and the taste is indeed pure and sweet, it seems to be added with floral fragrance, so it is sweet but not astringent.
"The fifth brother will enjoy it, this wine is indeed a fine wine." Xiao Rui put down the wine cup and said with a smile.
Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Life is in the world, if you can't be happy in time, then what's the fun of living." ”
Xiao Rui agreed: "That's right, not only to be happy in time, but also to follow one's heart, it's not easy to live, we are princes, and our fate is too much better than these ordinary people." ”
Xiao Yuan raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said leisurely: "Seventh brother, what he said is wrong, how can our bloodline, those ordinary people be compared?" We are people who do great things, not for the sake of a life of inaction and petty profits. Just like the big thing that the seventh brother just did, how could an ordinary man ask about the big thing of the alliance between the two countries? This is a major event that can determine the life and death of the people! ”
Xiao Rui smiled, not wanting to argue with him about the topic of human nature where everyone is equal, after all, it belongs to the limitations of this era.
"The seventh brother doesn't agree with it?" Xiao Yuan asked again, and then said with a smile: "I heard that the Great Yan Mission has left Beijing, and this time the seventh brother has done this beautiful and important thing, and his status in the eyes of his father will definitely be much improved." ”
Xiao Rui said: "It is an honor to be a prince to be able to share the worries of my father, but my father said that he will also add burdens to other princes, with the ability of the fifth brother, he will definitely do his father's affairs more beautifully!" ”
"No, no, I lack ability, how can I be the opponent of the seventh brother?" Xiao Yuan's tone finally began to carry the intention of attacking, and said: "The seventh brother is deeply hidden, and now he is a blockbuster, and he will definitely win the position of prince in the future." Come, my brother will give you a cup, and if you really become a prince in the future, please take care of brotherhood and forgive me for the sin of disrespect. ”
Xiao Rui immediately retorted: "Fifth brother, what you said is to kill me, how can I be qualified to be the prince, this time to entertain the envoys of Dayan was almost assassinated by the assassination king Cao Lu, the road ahead is bumpy, maybe there will be some unpredictable dangers, it's hard to say whether you can live in peace, right?" ”
"Naturally! There are unforeseen circumstances! People, it's better to be honest and don't make a bird! Xiao Yuan smiled, and the threat was revealed.
Xiao Rui looked at him and suddenly smiled: "I heard that when Cao Lu was arrested by Dongchang, he happened to appear three streets away from the Fifth Brother's Palace, ah, it's really lucky, wouldn't it be dangerous if Cao Lu ran into the Fifth Brother's Palace?" When the fifth brother heard about this, he wasn't frightened! ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yuan's face suddenly sank. Because Xiao Rui's words just tore apart his true face, when Cao Lu was arrested, he was indeed trembling with fright and full of luck.
He understood better that this was Xiao Rui deliberately ridiculing himself, and he had already learned from the secret that Xiao Rui knew that he was colluding with Cao Lu, since this was the case, there was nothing to hide.
"Seventh brother, my brother advises you, recognize your position and ability, don't do porcelain work without that diamond! Otherwise, they will die faster than anyone else, and they will not be as happy as the peddlers' pawns, because they can survive in the world! Xiao Yuan threatened.
Xiao Rui asked rhetorically: "Fifth brother, isn't it the roundworm in my stomach, and he actually knows my details?" It can be seen that Lang Zhong can prescribe laxatives and pull the roundworms back. ”
After a pause, Xiao Rui smiled and said, "This remark seems vulgar, so that I can express my true thoughts in my heart." ”
Syllable!
Xiao Yuan clasped the wine cup on the table, made a noise, then stood up, leaned forward slightly, put on a condescending posture, and looked gloomy: "So, are you not going to hit the south wall and not give up?" ”
Xiao Rui looked directly at him and sighed: "Seriously, I have never looked down on you, and the means you use are all indiscriminate, if you want to play, I will accompany you next." ”
"Good, good, good!" Xiao Yuan didn't laugh angrily, and shouted: "Then let me see the seventh brother's tricks, so that I can study hard." ”
Xiao Rui played with the wine cup, with a little force, he directly crushed it, and then spilled the pieces on the table.
"The seemingly delicate wine glass, who knows that when you pinch it, it will break. Fifth brother, you see. Some people are like this wine glass, which seems gorgeous and strong, but it can't withstand a pinch, and it shatters into this bear-like shape. People, it's not terrible to be ugly, it's terrible to be ignorant. After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he got up and gave his hand.
Again: "When you have drunk enough, my brother will take his leave." ”
With that, he flicked his long sleeves and waved away.
Xiao Yuan was left with a furious face and smashed the wine glass against the wall. He didn't bother to listen to the music, and immediately took a carriage to his uncle's house.
Han Mobei was meeting guests, and when he heard that his nephew, Prince Ming, was coming, he hurriedly asked people to invite him in.
Xiao Yuan entered the house and saw that Han Mobei was entertaining someone, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Uncle, Mr. Yuan!" ”
That's right, the person Han Mobei entertained was Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Your Highness will kill me with this gift." ”
Han Mobei said with a smile: "It's okay, you can afford to worship him, as the future prince, Corporal Lixian will have the strength that a prince should have, and you will be his minister in the future." ”
Xiao Yuan restrained the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "Yes! Mr. Yuan is a great cause, lurking in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, this friendship, this king is in his heart! ”
Yuan Xiao bowed deeply and said, "It is Yuan's honor to serve His Highness. ”
Xiao Yuan nodded, and then asked curiously, "Mr. Yuan came to the door today, but what happened to him?" ”
In order to hide that Yuan Xiao is Han Mobei's secret chess, they rarely meet, unless they encounter a major event and must discuss it face-to-face.
Yuan Xiao looked at Han Mobei, and Han Mobei said: "We are all for his great cause, so we don't have to hide it from him." ”
Yuan Xiao said: "Your Highness should know about Zhuge Yuanba's killing of the younger brother of the prince of Ruyang." ”
Xiao Yuan said: "I know about this, this is my uncle's plan, he mentioned it to me." Could it be that something is wrong? ”
"It's not that something happened, but that the governor told me a few days ago that the king of Ruyang is still tracking down who sent Zhuge Yuanba to Qiannan, and he has already found out about me. After I reported to Lord Han, I also conducted a reverse investigation, and then found out that it was not the King of Ruyang who was investigating, but his daughter Xiao Qingqing who was pursuing. Xiao Qingqing and Zhuge Liuying, the young lady of the Zhuge family, got closer, and what worried me even more was that the secret whistle in Zhuge Mansion came to report that Xiao Rui, the king of Xian, had a secret conversation with Xiao Qingqing and Zhuge Liuying. So I'm worried if Xiao Rui is also involved! Yuan Xiao said.
Xiao Yuan was furious: "It's him again!" Salty King! ”
Han Mobei asked, "You just rushed in angrily, could it be because of Xiao Rui?" ”
Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, he should know that I was wooing Cao Lu, so he threatened me with words." ”
Han Mobei raised his eyebrows and shouted: "This little guy, I don't know the height of the sky, I really think that with this blood, I can be majestic in the capital on all sides?" Now it's even about Zhuge Yuanba, no, this person can't stay! ”
Xiao Yuan nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, uncle, I must let him know that he is powerful, I have put up with him for a long time, I must let him die without a place to be buried, let him get out of the capital, and I still want to compete for the position of the crown prince, hum...."
Han Mobei said: "Okay! Then let him never recover, but he has to think of the best of both worlds. ”
Yuan Xiao on the side had a cold glint in his eyes, and said, "I have a plan here, which is just used to deal with Xiao Rui and King Ruyang." ”
"Oh? Hurry up! Han Mobei and Xiao Yuan hurriedly asked.
Immediately, Yuan Xiao explained the poisonous plan in his heart in detail.
After Han Mobei and Xiao Yuan heard this, they clapped their hands.
Xiao Yuan realized even more why his uncle made him polite to him, this person is extremely smart and scheming, such a talent must be controlled in his own hands, this is the help of his ascension to the position of the crown prince!
"Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, I'll be able to see you cry soon." Xiao Yuan roared wildly in his heart.

When Xiao Rui returned to the house, he was not idle, and immediately invited Jia Xu to tell him about seeing Xiao Yuan in the afternoon.
After Jia Xu heard this, he said: "Your Highness, Xiao Yuan is insidious and cunning, and even unscrupulous, you must be careful these days!" Don't fall into the trap. ”
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Sir, don't worry, Wu Zhanfa's injury is almost better, I will let him follow him, and he will be careful at ordinary times." However, I am not a submissive person, and since he is ruthless, then don't blame me for being unrighteous. ”
"Good! Then we'll deal with him first! Jia Xu was already ready to start: "Oh yes, Your Highness, I found some new clues in the investigation of Zhuge Yuanba's demotion!" Maybe it's the real conspiracy of the people behind the scenes! ”
Xiao Rui was overjoyed, now he urgently needs manpower, and the advent characters are far more loyal than the re-recruited characters!
