After Xiao Zhinan's carriage was identified, he passed the curfew and came all the way to Lingyan Pavilion.

The guards here had already received a message from the celebrant and did not stop it, Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan got out of the car and entered the pavilion together.

The pavilion is divided into three layers, the innermost layer is painted with the highest meritorious ministers, the middle layer is painted with the ministers of high meritorious, and the outermost layer is painted with other meritorious officials.

In the outermost portrait, except for Duanmu Ruisheng and Sun Shiwu, who are still alive, the rest of them are all ancient, and a considerable number of people died in the Lanhan party struggle that year, which makes people have to regret and choke.

The portraits of Xiao Jin and Lin Han are on the middle floor, among the princes.

There are a total of five portraits in this layer, namely Xiao Shu, Wang Xiao of Lingwu County, Xiao Gongyu, Wang of Liangwu County, Xu Lin, Wang of Xihe County, Lin Han, King of Zhenbei, and Xiao Jin, King of Wei.

Unlike the vassal kings who were later crowned because of their bloodline or the shadow of their predecessors, the lords of these five princes were all exchanged for great merit and could not be generalized.

Xu Beiyou walked through them one by one, and finally stopped in front of the portrait of Xiao Jin, the first king of the Great Qi Kingdom.

Because the portraits in the pavilion were all made in the first year of Huanglong, Xiao Jin in the portrait is very young, so young that he is only a teenager, and he has not yet reached the crown. But it was this young man who had not yet reached the crown who first single-handedly promoted Gongsun Zhongmou to go north and build later, and then went alone to Jiangnan to persuade Lu Qian to withdraw his troops, so that Lan Yu's Jiangling camp could come back to help, which led to the defeat of Xiheyuan raised by the herdsmen; and there was a clear investigation of the officials of Xiliangzhou, killing dozens of corrupt officials, consolidating the granary in the northwest, and taking over Minhang to sit in Shaanzhou, becoming one of the three major camp seal officials; and even later after the Northern Expedition, the alliance of Daliang City, the east into the Guan, and the battle of Dingding, he was everywhere.

After he was crowned as the king of Wei, he and the veteran Yang Bofu led the army across the sea, conquered the country, and destroyed the Zhang family and the Gongsun family in the five major lords of the country, and then broke the backbone of the Gongsun family, and changed the Weiguo to the Wei state, and he also became the master of the Wei state.

At this time, he was just passing the crown.

Xu Beiyou sighed, "Even if he is a prince from a powerful family, he is unique in being able to come this far at the age of King Wei, and he is worthy of being the first king of the country." ”

Xiao Zhinan stood aside with his arms in his arms, and chuckled: "This uncle is a peerless talent that comes once in five hundred years, but it's a pity that when he meets an emperor who meets once in a thousand years, he can only be a king of Wei." ”

Xu Beiyou pointed out: "Now that Emperor Xiao has passed away, this His Royal Highness the King of Wei may not be reconciled." ”

Xiao Zhinan snorted.

The two of them continued to walk to the innermost layer, where the portraits of the most decorated ministers of Zaifu were hung.

There are also five portraits here, namely Zhao Guogong Lan Yu, Ming Ying Gong Han Xuan, Lai Guogong Wei Ban, Xihe Hou Xu Yan, and Kang Le Gong Xie Gongyi.

Xiao Zhinan explained: "There were originally only three portraits here, namely Lan Xiang, Wei Dadu Governor and Kang Le Gong, in the 20th year of Taiping, the emperor's grandmother decreed that Xihe Hou would be promoted to the king of Xihe County, and his portrait was transferred from the outer layer to the inner layer, and in the first year of Chengping, the portrait of Han Ge Lao was also transferred to it. ”

Xu Beiyou nodded and carefully looked at several portraits one by one.

Lan Yu's appearance when he was young was not outstanding, but after he was old, men did not pay attention to his appearance, and under the tempering of his temperament, he was majestic and profound, far better than when he was young.

When he was young, Wei Ban was heroic and extraordinary, with a slightly unruly atmosphere.

Xie Gongyi and Xie Suqing are a little similar, as the first person in Jiangzuo, although his temples were already gray when he painted the portrait, he was still slender, and the jade tree was in the wind, showing the elegant temperament of the first-rate celebrity in the south of the Yangtze River.

As for Han Xuan when he was young, he was a little unexpected by Xu Beiyou, he was extremely outstanding, he could be called handsome and dashing, but I don't know why such a handsome character never married.

Finally, it is Xu Yan.

The second king of Xihe County, the brother of Empress Xu, was the uncle of the dynasty, and also the uncle of Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhinan.

Xu Beiyou stopped in front of Xu Yan's portrait and was speechless for a long time.

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "Nangui, you and your uncle really look alike." ”

Xu Beiyou did not comment.

The person in the portrait and Xu Beiyou are indeed three points similar, but if they don't take the initiative to mention it, no one will associate the two.

Xiao Zhinan continued: "When I first saw you in Danxia Village, I only thought you were a little familiar, and I didn't think much about it, until June this year, when I came here by accident, and suddenly found that the two of you are so similar. ”

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand and gently wiped his eyebrows, and said calmly: "Actually, I have some guesses, but after all, there is no real evidence. ”

Xiao Zhinan asked: "Now, is this portrait considered evidence? Have you thought about it, why did Han Ge Lao let you have the surname Xu? Why didn't you follow his surname Han? Even in the early years, he didn't let you call him his father, this is full of people, and how many Xu families are there?"

Xu Beiyou was silent.

Xiao Zhinan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "So I make a bold guess, are you a child of the Xu family?" After all, my uncle had a young son back then, and he said that he was sick by his uncle and died early, but I still can't understand how my uncle died, let alone a baby who is still in swaddling clothes?"

Permanent free/fee to see a small Do said K.

Xu Beiyou couldn't help but quip: "If this is true, should I call you cousin?"

Xiao Zhinan gently stroked his colorful head and said with a smile: "Shout, I'll wait to hear it, I've been a brother and cousin all these years, and it's the first time I've been a sister." ”

Xu Beiyou said seriously: "We were both born in the first year of Chengping, why are you sisters? Maybe you call me cousin." ”

Xiao Zhinan said: "I don't care, I just want to be a sister." ”

Xu Beiyou smiled helplessly: "Okay, cousin, cousin Zhinan." ”

This made Xiao Zhinan a little embarrassed, and his face was slightly red.

Xu Beiyou restrained his smile and said slowly: "Judging from the current situation, it seems that my life experience is about to surface, but what can this life experience mean? I am the nephew of the current queen? The younger brother of Xu Yi, the king of Xihe County, is a relative of the emperor and has an extraordinary background?"

Xiao Zhinan was slightly stunned.

Xu Beiyou took a deep breath and said softly: "Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will make holes." Some people feel that even if the emperor's son is a living among the people, he is still radiant, and he has the appearance of the true dragon holy lord, and even if the son of the people is high in the temple and ruling the country, he will not escape the name of a villager. ”

Xu Beiyou looked at Xiao Zhinan and asked, "Could it be that you are born with mud legs, and you can only be mud legs for the rest of your life?"

Xiao Zhinan was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to answer.

Xu Beiyou asked himself and replied: "If this is the case, how can there be a change of dynasty in this world, and where are the emperors and generals thousands of years ago?

Xu Beiyou approached Xiao Zhinan, stretched out his hand and touched his colorful head, and said softly: "When the two of us were separated in Danxia Village, you gave me a word, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and I will return this sentence to you today." ”

Xiao Zhinan looked at Nangui, I didn't know whether to sigh or admire, "Nangui, I really underestimated you before." ”
