Chapter 207: Gentleness

Su Yan said bitterly, "Look at you, the only son of the Pingguo Mansion, are you willing to carry the reputation of being a gentleman all the time?" ”

Xie Xun was silent for a moment, "What's wrong with this?" ”

Not everyone can be this gentleman!

Su Wei said again: "Don't you want to do a big career?" ”

Xie Xun waved his hand again and again, "No, no, don't you know me yet, I'm suitable for drinking and having fun, where can I do a big career!" ”

Su Xun's words of trying to awaken Xie Xun's self-motivation were once again blocked back into his stomach.

Just when she was about to say something, Xie Xun opened the topic, "When you were talking to Song Qianhang inside today, Liu Hang seemed to hear something. ”

At that time, when he and Liu Miaoqing came out, they happened to see Liu Hang walking away, thinking that he should have heard something, so he didn't go in and deliberately avoided it.

Su Xun's eyes became strange when he looked at Xie Xun, "Oh." ”

[Eavesdropping on oneself, but also ruining Liu Han's reputation, implying that others are also eavesdropping. 】

Xie Xun: "??? "Won't he eavesdrop!?

Su Yan didn't believe what he said, [I can't find a second one like him in this capital, how can I eavesdrop!" 】

Xie Xun understood now, Liu Hang is the fragrant bait in the sky.

He glanced at Su Huan, picked up the flask with the remaining wine on the table, and snorted at Su Xuan as he left, "He is a pedantic who doesn't know how to be flexible, and no one in the capital wants to be the second!" ”

Master, I am suave and suave, and my appearance is peerless, can I compare with him?

Su Su: "."

[Annoyed and angry? 】

The next day, Su Yan entered the palace to accompany the queen to dinner, and happened to meet Liu Hang, and the two talked about some recent official affairs.

In the middle of the conversation, Su Xun suddenly asked, "You and Xie Xun have known each other since childhood, has he always been like this?" ”

Liu Hang looked puzzled.

Su Yan: "He thinks about drinking and having fun all day now, and he has no ambition, and when I mentioned it to him last night, he didn't want to mention it." ”

She thought that since Liu Hang and Xie Xun had known each other since they were young, they should know a lot about Xie Xun.

Liu Hang was silent for a moment, as if hesitating, "It's not always like this. ”

Seeing that Su Yan wanted to know, he said slowly.

I remember when he was a child, he often went to Xie Mansion with his father, and Xie Xun always loved to pull himself to practice swords and various marksmanship, saying that it was useless to be a scholar and a man's husband, and he still had to join the army to fight, and he wanted to protect his family and defend the country like his grandfather and father.

At that time, Xie Xun was still very strict with himself, no matter what he had, he had to learn the best, and none of his peers who studied martial arts could compare to him.

About once, he had a dispute with other students of Guozijian, and was punished by the pedant, saying that he was open-mouthed, and even His Majesty knew about it, and punished him for thinking behind closed doors for three months.

Since then, he has lost interest in everything, not only does he not go to the country, but he also makes a group of friends, and he spends his days drinking and having fun.

I persuaded him many times, but he never listened, and he no longer mentioned anything like a general to protect his family and defend the country.

Su Yan was surprised, and suddenly understood, "So you have been following Xie Xun, are you afraid that he will embark on the crooked path of killing people and setting fires and robbing people's daughters?" ”

Liu Hang was slightly stunned and chuckled, "No, it's just idle to follow him." ”

"He won't do what you say."

No matter how Xie Xun changes, Liu Hang also believes that he will not lose his heart.

Su Yan smiled, "You are optimistic about him." ”

[Xie Xun, Xie Xun, look at what people are doing to you, and then look at what you are doing to others, alas. 】

When accompanying the queen to dinner, she saw that Su had little to use, and the grandmother next to her saw this, and immediately ordered the people below to urge the sweet soup.

"Unappetizing?" The queen asked.

Su Yan shook his head and smiled, "No, it's delicious." ”

The queen's eyes lit up suspiciously, "I don't see you use so little on weekdays, is it because of your heart?" ”

In the past, Su came into the palace and devoured it, and she was happy when she saw it, but today the child was obviously absent-minded.

Su Yan has actually been thinking about what Liu Hang said.

"Imperial grandmother, do you remember that one year, Xie Xun had a dispute with others in the Guozijian, and was not only punished by the pedant, but also by the emperor's grandfather?"

The queen was slightly stunned, "Why do you ask this?" ”

Of course she remembered it, how dare she forget it.

Seeing the queen's reaction, obviously knowing, Su Yan said, "I accidentally mentioned it when I was chatting with others today, and my granddaughter was a little curious, what was he punished for. ”

The queen was silent for a moment, thinking that she should also let her granddaughter know about this, she looked at the grandmother on the side, and the grandmother immediately sent everyone in the palace out, and she also guarded the door of the palace to prevent others from breaking in.

Seeing this battle, Su Xun probably guessed that Xie Xun's punishment was not simple.

The queen asked, "Among the generals, do you know which one has won the most popularity in a hundred years?" ”

Su Wei hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

If it refers to someone who has been alive for a hundred years, it is naturally Pingguo Gong, but what the queen said obviously does not refer to him.

The queen said slowly, "The commander of the Dingbei Army back then, Pei Lianshan. ”

Su Yan put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"At that time, the Pei family had unlimited scenery, Pei Lianshan held heavy troops, among the families in the capital, the power was unparalleled, and most of the Pei family held important positions in the court, so they were subject to a lot of rumors and fears."

"The second prince rebelled, the Pei family was implicated, and no one dared to speak, but in the hearts of most military generals, they didn't believe that Pei Lianshan would rebel, thinking that the rebellion case of the year was insufficient evidence, perfunctory evidence, excessive convictions, the Pei family died in vain, and gossip was everywhere."

"Xie Xun, this child, since he was a child, he has admired those generals who fought on the battlefield and defended the country, he heard a lot of Pei Lianshan's deeds, the Pingguo Mansion is like the Pei family at the beginning, how many people are eyeing in the dark, Xie Xun was still young at the time, but about ten years old, he was provoked, and he said some words to defend the Pei family, and was added to the vinegar by someone with a heart, and it was passed to His Majesty, so he was punished."

Later, the queen didn't say anything more, but Su Su could guess it.

What a serious crime to defend against the party, coupled with the added fuel and vinegar of those who have a heart, the Pingguo Mansion at that time was the epitome of the Pei family back then, which was to plant a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart.

Xie Xun was punished in the mansion, and in the three months he thought about it, he was afraid that at the age of ten, he had already thought through these interests, and he never dared to come forward again.

should have grown into a proud son of heaven like Liu Hang and Cai Yi, but he took into account the heart of the emperor, hid his edge, eat, drank and had fun all day long, and turned himself into a real profligate and swaggering gentleman, stubborn and unsuccessful, so as to dispel the emperor's suspicion of the Guogong Mansion, forget the events of the year, avoid being targeted by people in the court, and protect the Xie family.

Thinking of Liu Hang's hesitation, Su Xuan finally understood at this moment, but he was afraid that Liu Hang had always known this, so he never looked at Xie Xun as an outsider.

Xie Xun has never carried less than Liu Hang. (End of chapter)
