"Is the food in place?" Xin asked casually again.

"When the gentleman sacrifices to the temple, it has been done." Wei whispered.

Her beautiful eyes looked at the ground, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the haze on her face had disappeared.

The news of Xin's retreat from the army was known to everyone.

Fan Qian looked at Wei with a stupid expression.

"My Fair Lady, Gentleman...... I finally knew why the Xin people dared to carry their swords alone to find Mu Luotian. ”

Hearing this, Wei's face was flushed and transparent.

Xin was also a little embarrassed: "That's it, don't mention the past." ”

"Haha, okay, okay." Fan Qian thought that Xin didn't want to mention the defeat of the Rong people, so he didn't say anything more.

And Xin didn't care about that.

It's just that he and Wei, in what capacity should they get along?

Continuing to develop?

Xin always felt a little embarrassed, after all, after crossing over, he actually didn't have such deep feelings for Wei.

Throw it away?

It doesn't seem right.

……

Go with the flow! Xin said secretly: Don't take the initiative, don't refuse!

Of course, the responsibility should be borne or beared!

"Squire, Mrs. Fang Cai said to let you go to the backrooms when you come back." Whispered.

"Well, let's just say that I have a banquet for Dr. Puyi in the hall, and I have some things to talk about the Rong people, and I'll go later." Xin replied again.

"This ......"

"Don't be afraid, do as I say."

Xin You's attitude made Fan Qian speechless.

"Xin Ren, you seem to have changed into a different person......"

Xin You, who was notoriously cowardly, didn't dare to disobey his mother in a word.

"Some changes have made me understand some things." Xin can only explain like this: "I am a doctor in Yi, not a decoration of Xinyi." ”

"I said a long time ago that Xin Jun should stand on his own." Fan Qian said: "Xin Jun is proficient in the six arts, how can he let ...... Can you let those people from the Fan clan ride on your head? ”

When he said "Fan's", Fan Qian lowered his voice.

He also knows a little about Xinyi.

After all, Fan Yi had encountered the same thing, but it was solved by his father Fan Wei.

As he spoke, the gratifier brought some simple food.

On the table in front of each person is a clay bowl containing boiled corn.

It is a vessel for cooking food, the upper part resembles a large bowl, with a round mouth and two ears.

There are also round feet underneath that hold up the upper part.

Next to it, there are several high-legged discs called "beans".

It contains some jerky, pickles, and sauced meat.

The corn that comes out of the rice can also be eaten in beans.

Behind Xin You and Fan Qi, there was a small slave standing in each of them, holding a scoop made of a gourd for holding wine, which was used to hold and pour wine.

The drinking utensils are two delicate bronze goblets.

"Fanjun, today we don't want these complicated gifts, just want to talk freely, how about it?" Xin said again.

Fan Qian clapped his hands: "It couldn't be better!" ”

The two of them retreated left and right, and picked up the bronze goose themselves.

"Hey...... The Xin clan is declining, and now there are only these two bronze goblets, which can remind people of the ancestors' Wei Weihe. ”

Xin couldn't help but sigh again.

These two bronze goblets are the heirlooms of the Xin family, and they are generally not taken out.

Fan Qi smiled and said: "The same surname is Congwang Qi, why don't we Fan family?" ”

As he spoke, the two raised their bronze goblets and took a sip each.

When the Xin and Fan clans were in Zongzhou (the self-proclaimed name of the Western Zhou people), their fiefs were all within the Wangji at that time, and they were all important ministers of the Wang family in all dynasties.

King Ping moved eastward, and seven surnames (clans) migrated with King Ping to the current Wangji, but they gradually declined.

Fan Qi is also a great sect of the Fan family, and now he is the same as Xin, but he is just a doctor in a public town.

"My father wanted our Xin family to return to the temple, but the Xin family had been away from the Inner Dynasty for too long, so it was not easy to go back."

In this era, birth almost determines the height.

Xin You and Fan Qi are small nobles, and it is okay to be a doctor who does not have to worry about food and clothing.

But thinking of the third prince in the royal family, it is difficult.

Those positions are all held by the most powerful vassal monarchs in Wangji!

For example, Liu Gong and Shan Gong.

Fan said: "Xin Jun, your Xin clan is still a historian at least after the capital is moved, and our Fan clan ......"

As he spoke, Fan Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After moving eastward, Fan's situation was much worse than that of Xin, and he soon disappeared from the annals of history.

As he spoke, Fan Qi's eyes suddenly opened: "That's right! I heard that Zhao Boying was killed! ”

"Really!? As I expected! Hearing the news, Xin was very excited again.

"Oh? Did Xin Jun expect it a long time ago?? Su Qian was curious, he had first-hand news: "Didn't they all say that Duke Liu personally told Zhao Boying and Yin Gu that they would come back only after being exempted from capital crimes?" ”

Xin took another sip of wine and said, "Can you know about Yin Gu's death?" ”

"Hmm...... Of course I do. Yin Gu followed the prince south, returned to the royal city three years ago for unknown reasons, and was killed by the countrymen soon after. "Fan said.

"It is said that when he returned, an old woman said that he 'exhorted others to do evil, and did things in a few days.'" He instigated civil strife and supported the prince's dynasty, which was originally a capital crime. But he ran south with the prince and luckily spared his life, who knew that this fool actually returned to the royal city, and really thought that no one would dare to kill him? Such a person does not die and waits for nothing. ”

Yin Gu is also Yin Wengong, and Zhao Gong Zhao Boying are both staunch supporters of the Prince's Dynasty.

When the princely dynasty and the current King Jing of Zhou were fighting, they repeatedly defeated Liu Gong and Shan Gong, who supported King Jing.

After the defeat of the prince's dynasty, Yin Gu had already run south, but who knew that he would return to the royal city after a while.

As for the reason for the return, no one knows.

"Xin Jun means that the reason for Yin Gu's death is the same as that of Zhao Boying? It's all because of their relationship with the prince's dynasty? ”

"Of course!" Xin said again: "Although the prince is running south to Chu, but there are many remnants in Wangji, how can the Son of Heaven rest assured that there are such two scourges sleeping on the side of the couch?" ”

"But Yin Gu was killed by the Chinese people......"

"Huh...... The Chinese people, the Chinese people also have masters behind them. Xin said again.

Fan Qian seemed to understand something, but he continued to ask: "Then why did Liu Gong personally order the killing of Zhao Bo Ying three years later, instead of assassinating him like Yin Gu?" ”

"When Yin Gu ran south, many of the Yin clansmen did not go south, and were still entrenched in their Yin clan's fiefdom, which was also the confidence for Yin Gu to dare to come back.

"Yin Gu is bound to die, but he can't offend the Yin family, so it's okay to kill only one Yin Gu, and the Yin family won't pursue it.

"But Zhao Boying is completely different, most of them Zhao Clan have gone south, Liu Gong and Shan Gong can't wait to find an excuse to condemn him, not only to kill Zhao Boying, but also to destroy the remaining Zhao Clan!

"Now that the situation in Wangji is basically stable, the time to kill Bo Ying is just right! This shows the determination of the Son of Heaven, he will definitely not give those who defect to the prince's dynasty a way out! ”

Speaking of this, Xin's eyes flashed again: "Speaking of which, this is likely to be an opportunity for you and me......"

"Opportunity?!"

"That's right, the Yin clan drove my Xin clan out of the royal city back then, and your Fan clan has always been at odds with the Zhao clan. Now that the Yin clan is declining and the mortal kingdom is about to be destroyed, isn't it our chance? ”

Fan Qi's eyes narrowed tightly, and he frowned and thought for a while.

Xin saw that he hadn't figured it out yet, so he clicked:

"After the prince went south, in addition to some families who followed him south, there were also some officials of the inner and outer dynasties, and now the Zhou royal family is recovering from a serious illness, and the officials are withering, and the Son of Heaven wants to use some new historians, he must choose someone who has nothing to do with them."

"I see!" Su Qian suddenly realized: "Your Xin clan has been a historian for generations, and the Yin clan must not be able to use it, this is naturally your Xin clan's opportunity!" ”

"That's right! Moreover, after Zhao Boying and Zhao Guo are destroyed, there will be many more fiefs in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and the Situ line, which Zhao Boying has always mastered, will also be an opportunity for your Fan clan! ”

Hearing this, Fan Qi understood what Xin You's mind was thinking.

However, he still scratched his head: "But we are just doctors in Yi, and we don't even have the opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven, how can we enter the court as an official......"
