"You sit down first." Xi Guangling softened his voice and sighed, "Weizhi, can you tell me, why are you persistent?" ”

Qin Xun sat at the stone table with him, looking down at the few bamboo patterns carved on the scabbard of Xi Guangling's sword.

"Childe knows, when I was seven years old, I entered the bell room."

Xi Guangling was stunned: "Yes......"

"Changle Bell Room." Qin Xun said calmly.

Changle Bell Room, the place where Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, died in the early Han Dynasty.

And Changle Palace is the residence of the Queen Mother.

The person who can wantonly bring the pampered son of a powerful family to that kind of place on the territory of the Queen Mother, it goes without saying that he will only be the Queen Mother herself.

"Lin Qin, a great family like Lin Qin, who holds the most elite military power in the entire Great Qi, if the merit is high, it will be killed, such a reason, the Empress Dowager Tang even has to warn a seven-year-old child." Qin Xun snorted, "Of course, maybe because I am the only descendant of the two families who are mixed with blood, the Queen Mother and the Emperor have to be vigilant." ”

Daqi no longer needs the Lin and Qin families to produce any more important generals, and there is no need for General Sima surnamed Qin and General Weicai surnamed Lin, let alone Qin Xun of his father Qin and mother Lin as generals. If Qin Xun wants to spend this life in peace, he must not be too involved in the dynasty, it is best to be like the descendant of the previous dynasty, King Jinyang, all day long, if he is not willing to be wasted, he must also advance and retreat in a certain way, and he must not trespass and invite trouble.

Even so, beware of the whims of the current reigning suspicious emperor who wants to get rid of the troubles forever.

If Qin Xun is not threatened, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will give him a thousand favors according to the affection of the veteran family, but once he endangers the dynasty, they will not hesitate to get rid of him and get rid of the Lin and Qin families behind him.

Moreover, after years of changes in the situation, the original harmony between the Lin and Qin families has long gone.

The situation in the court has changed, you promote him and demote him, you count me as a plan, some are ice to release the previous suspicions, some are the conflict is gradually rising, and some are even more resentful, the Lin and Qin families are very unfortunate like the latter two. The two families have been friends for a long time, and the feelings are naturally there, but the two generals who are too similar in nature will inevitably not escape the competition for power and position. Even after ascending the throne today, the two generals are well aware of their suspicious nature, and they are gradually disappearing, but these years of grudges are really difficult to easily dissolve.

This kind of contradiction and conflict reached its peak when the Queen Mother gave her marriage 22 years ago.

At the beginning, the emperor was infatuated with Lin Chu and wanted to marry the queen, but the queen mother resolutely refused to allow it, and chose the daughter of her own sister, that is, Qu Boyong, the right prime minister, and Qu Peilan, the eldest daughter of his wife Tang, as the queen. The emperor retreated and wanted to be a concubine, but the queen mother still refused to allow it, and even in order to avoid her son from asking to marry Lin Chu again, she directly gave Lin Chu a marriage to An Guogong's eldest son, Qin Zhenhai, the hussar general at that time.

From the perspective of family background, this marriage is definitely the right one, and the Lin family or the Qin family was not wronged because of the hurry, but this is by no means a happy marriage.

Qin Ao, the Duke of Anguo, strongly objected, and the Qin family married the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo, which seemed to be a happy marriage, but in fact it was not a good thing.

First, the queen mother gave marriage in order to prevent the emperor from asking for marriage, which was inevitably ridiculed by others; The second is that men understand men, any man who is robbed of his beauties can't be unwavering, especially that person is still the most inoffensive Ninety-Five, the emperor can see that Lin Chu's affection has eyes, and he failed to marry her and let the Qin family marry away, which undoubtedly made the emperor's face unhappy, even if he didn't say it, he would definitely have a secret mustard; The third is that the Qin family and the Lin family have been secretly at odds for a long time, and they suddenly got married, what is this called?

Qin Ao objected, the Queen Mother insisted, he couldn't break the Queen Mother, and the courtiers all knew that Lin Chu's bloodline could never marry into the harem, let alone be the mother of the Great Qi Country, and had no objection to the Queen Mother's move. Qin Ao sighed, helpless, and since then, he has always been unable to hide his dissatisfaction with this daughter-in-law.

Qin Xun was vaguely aware when he was a child that the pupil color of himself and his mother was too different from the people around him, although there were often subtle differences in the color of people's pupils, such as his cousin who returned to the city was pure ink, and his little companion Chu Changqin was dark brown, but no one else had blue eyes like his mother, and his mother also gave birth to tea hair, although he himself had jet-black hair color, there was a slight curl at the end of his hair.

He didn't see his mother often, and he didn't like to talk to others much, so he threw himself into Qi Jing's arms and raised his head to ask his little cousin why he had a pair of strange blue eyes, and the little cousin rubbed his head with a smile, but didn't answer him, only said gently: "It's not strange, it's beautiful." ”

He didn't bother about it, his cousins praised him for his blue eyes, and his cousin liked it.

Until he was seven years old, a farce was frightened by Empress Qi Lang with a snake, the emperor wanted to do something hastily, and did not want Lin Chu to be angry and protect his son, the emperor hurriedly began to punish severely, severely punished Qi Lang, grounded the queen, and even generously gave Qin Xun a token, holding this token Qin Xun can freely enter and leave the Weiyang Palace anywhere except for the Taiji Hall and the Emperor's Xuanshu Palace, and can also resist the summons of anyone except the emperor, including the Queen Mother.

Great power, really honored.

As for why the emperor blocked Qin Xun in order to protect Qin Xun, including the queen mother, who had always treated Qin Xun like a grandson, only the insiders tacitly understood it.

At that time, Xiao Qin Xun, who had just experienced fright, was not defenseless against this kind Queen Mother, who had always loved him and was called his aunt and grandmother since he was a child, and when the Queen Mother called him to play in Changle Palace a few days later, he went defenselessly, and the Queen Mother Bao held his small hands and smiled kindly: "What did we Xun'er get angry with Brother Lang a few days ago, and said to listen to my aunt and grandmother?" ”

Qin Xun's small mouth deflated: "He bullied me." ”

"How could Brother Lang bully Xun'er, is Xun'er mistaken?"

"He stuffed the snake in my clothes, and the wanted to eat the dead snake for me!" Qin Xun didn't understand why his aunt didn't believe that Qi Lang was bullying him.

The Queen Mother was still kind, and spoke in a wording that the child could understand: "That's the queen, Xun'er is not allowed to be called indiscriminately, Lang'er and the queen just love Xun'er and want to tease with Xun'er, how can there be any meaning of bullying Xun'er?" Xun'er can't talk nonsense to the outside world in the future, otherwise her aunt and grandmother will punish Xun'er. ”

Qin Xun pouted with a small face and was not convinced, but the eldest grandmother beside the Queen Mother said with a cold face: "The third prince of Qin should not know what is good or bad, the queen mother is for the good of the son, and the son has remembered it in his heart." ”

Although this big grandmother has always been very cold to herself, she has never spoken out to reprimand herself, Qin Xun tilted her head and looked at her in confusion, and the Queen Mother reproached her: "The children are unscrupulous, why are you so fierce to our Xun'er." ”

The eldest grandmother hurriedly bowed her head: "The slave and maid lost her words, and the queen mother forgives her sins." ”

The Queen Mother turned her head again, patted Qin Xun's little hand twice, and asked him, "Did Your Majesty give Xun'er anything interesting?" ”

Qin Xun nodded and told the truth about the token, feeling that his aunt and grandmother seemed to be smiling strangely.

"Your Majesty really loves Xiao Xun'er very much, and even the mourning family can refuse it, such a power is something that Xun'er's grandfather never had."

Qin Xun said obediently: "My aunt and grandmother are very good, and Xun'er will not refuse." ”

"How is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is also very good!"

"Then Xun'er won't bother your aunt and grandmother, right?"

Qin Xun's little face was a little confused: "Xun'er has completed her homework seriously, will your aunt and grandmother and Your Majesty still be worried?" ”

"Auntie and grandmother take Xun'er to a place." The Queen Mother said without caring whether he responded or not, got up and led him out of the hall, speechless all the way, until she stopped in front of a house.

"Does Xun'er know what this place is?"

Qin Xun shook his head.

"Weiyang Changle is the old Han Palace, the son of Xun'er Jiangmen, I must know Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin in the early Han Dynasty." The Queen Mother motioned to the eldest grandmother to open the door, lowered her head and smiled at Qin Xun: "This is the place where the Marquis of Huaiyin died, does Xun'er want to go in and have a look?" ”

In the scorching summer, the scorching sun was shining, but the seven-year-old Xiao Qin Xun shivered for no reason under the unchanging smile of the Queen Mother.
