Chapter 280: The Grace of Salvation
On the afternoon of the second day of November, in the Langzhou Post House.
Li Congjia, the king of Zheng who had been ordered by Li Yuan to be "fostered" here for many days, was sitting in the dilapidated warm pavilion with a melancholy face at this time, with a pair of cloudy eyes on his slightly puffy face with anger and helplessness, and the body that had been blessed earlier now seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
It's not that Li Yuan treats him harshly, the daily wine and food have never been interrupted, but since he was imprisoned in the last incident, Li Congjia is disgusted even when he smells the air in Langzhou, let alone the food in Langzhou.
"Hula", the door curtain suddenly raised, in Li Congjia's subconscious panic reaction, but saw Zhang Zizi, a member of the middle school, trotting in, and whispered with excitement on his face: "Your Highness, Han Shilang is here again, and we can go back to Beijing......"
Like a rainbow bathing after a rainstorm, Li Congjia's heart beat wildly, and he hurriedly stood up and walked a few steps forward, grabbed Zhang Zi's equally thin arm and said, "Quick!" Invite him in! ”
Han Xizai walked in the door with a serious face, Li Congjia took two steps and grabbed the arm of this former political enemy, raised his eyebrows, thought about it and showed a humble expression: "Recently, there is a Lao Han squire!" This king will never forget the grace of Han Shilang's rescue in this life! So Li Yuan is willing to let the king go back to Beijing? This king doesn't want to suffer here anymore......"
The Manchu Dynasty knew that it was precisely because of King Zheng's ascension that King Yan's status became more and more dangerous, although Han Xizai couldn't look at Li Congjia and even had some disgust with hypocrisy and exaggeration, but in the end, the identity was different, and he had to take into account the identity of his prince, so he remained reserved, and firmly helped Li Congjia to return to the collapsed side to sit down, and then took a few steps back and smiled: "Your Highness, sit down and talk!" What kind of saving grace, the lower officials can't afford it.
You were kidnapped by gangsters in Langzhou, and you were frightened, and it was Governor Li who rescued you, and this time he also took the initiative to negotiate with the imperial court, and His Majesty ordered the officials to take you back here. Therefore, if you want to thank you for this matter, you should thank the Governor of Dadu. ”
At the mention of Li Yuan, Li Congjia's face was immediately covered with haze, but he didn't dare to vent it, and Han Xizai's care was indispensable if he wanted to return to Beijing, so he quietly pinched his finger joints and made a few crisp sounds in the calm and tense air.
Han Xizai just glanced at Zhang Zi, who was also pale next to him, and continued to say, "Your Highness, you must wonder why the lower official asked for this errand, but the lower official doesn't know how to explain it to you. However, please rest assured that since Your Majesty has been ordered by the emperor to come here, he will do his best and will definitely send you back to Jinling safely. ”
Li Congjia hesitated for a moment, nodded and said with a wry smile: "This is a chore, you Han Shilang is one of the best talents in my dynasty, and the celebrity next to my father should have been chanting poetry on the bank of the Qinhuai River, but it is rare to be able to work hard for thousands of miles to get here." This kindness will still be remembered by this king. This king knows that you have always been friendly with my eldest brother, and the relationship between us may be a little stiff, but it will not be like this in the future. ”
Han Xizai was slightly shocked in his heart, this Li Congjia has been a well-known domineering man since he entered the court, how could he be locked up for a period of time, but he can say such decent words, can the water and soil of the metropolitan governor still be able to educate people? Whether he's true or not, everyone loves to hear nice words, doesn't he?
coughed lightly a few times to hide the panic in his heart, of course Han Xizai would not be confused by Li Congjia's words, so he smiled and arched his hand: "Your Highness is serious." When you return to Jinling safely, I hope to concentrate on political affairs in the future, and don't be bewitched by villains. As for your love for the lower officials, the lower officials are very grateful, but this is a matter of duty, and it doesn't have to be like this. ”
Li Congjia's eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears and said: "This king is from the heart, Han Shilang, do you know that this king has lived here since he was trapped, and he has not slept well, and he finally waited for the news of the court, and when he saw you for the first time, it was like a long drought and a rainstorm, if you don't recognize this kindness, how can this king's heart feel good?" Ben Wang ...... Ben Wang ......"
Zhang Zi on the side saw Li Congjia's true feelings for the first time, and his heart was inexplicably sour, and then he looked at Han Xizai's purple robe, which was obviously much newer and cleaner than himself, and was jealous.
However, if you think about it carefully, in the past, when King Zheng was by his side, the relationship between the two was naturally positioned as a master-servant relationship. This time, he almost handed over his life for King Zheng, and when he returned to Beijing, how could King Zheng not be able to use it again in the future? Zhang Zi suddenly became ecstatic in his heart, and twisted his loneliness.
Seeing Li Congjia's two lines of turbid tears rolling out, and his dry and white lips trembling lightly in front of him, Han Xizai couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and looked up at the dilapidated and harsh environment around him, the weather was getting colder, and the roof was still leaking a little wind, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
This kind of action, which seemed to be empathy, suddenly made Li Congjia cry even more sadly, and even Zhang Zi cooperated with a handful of snot and tears, but what Han Xizai thought in his heart was that the Metropolitan Governor was too ruthless, he was a prince anyway, so it was better to send him on the road decently......
There was a feeling of sadness in the room, and a rough voice came from outside: "Han Shilang can be inside?" ”
Hearing that Li Congjia and Zhang Zi hurriedly came back to their senses, hurriedly tidied up their messy clothes and hair buns, and listened to the sound of footsteps, Zhu Kuangcong had already entered the house.
Zhu Kuang, who opened the curtain and entered, shouted loudly, "Han Shilang, Han Shilang". After entering the room, he saw Li Congjia and Zhang Zi with tears in their eyes, glared at them with disdain, and then asked suspiciously: "Han Shilang, Your Highness, what's wrong with them?" ”
Han Xizai replied in a deep voice: "Zhu Duzhi, why are you so unruly, this official and His Royal Highness King Zheng are talking about things, why did you suddenly break in by yourself." ”
Zhu Kuangcong understood the friendship between this Han Shilang and the Metropolitan Governor, so he just scratched his head and smiled: "Hey, isn't this in a hurry to find you?" You're going back tomorrow, aren't you? ”
Then he sneered and said, "Eh, Your Highness, why are you crying again?" Could it be that during these days, most of my family governors have wronged you? ”
It seems to awaken the fear in his bones, you must know that Zhu Kuang has dragged his neck like a chicken on the day of this evil star, how dare Li Congjia make trouble at this juncture, subconsciously touched his neck, and barely squeezed out a smile and said: "No, no, most of the governors treat this king very well!" This king heard that he was going back to Beijing, so he asked Han Shilang about something. Just now, I suddenly remembered my mother, so I was sad in my heart. ”
Zhang Zibu echoed: "Yes, Yes, His Royal Highness thinks of the queen's mother, so he is sad in his heart." ”
Zhu Kuang was confused, scratched his head and said, "Isn't this going back to Beijing tomorrow?" The queen mother will be able to see it soon, and it is strange that she is still sad. ”
Li Congjia and Zhang Zi were embarrassed and speechless, so they could only pretend to be Hutu.
"Envoy Zhu, why are you so anxious to ask me for advice?" Han Hee-jae asked.
