My wife, the eldest princess of the demon clan, I recite poems and become a sword god

Chapter 79 Sweet-scented Osmanthus Brew
In the living room, there was another silence that only heard the sound of rain.

After hearing this, Xie Tingfeng's past seemed to come to an end.

What happened next was that the other party returned to the Cangjian House in the Xie Mansion, and never left the house, drinking to soothe his sorrows.

In Li Cheng's view, this was a sign of Xie Tingfeng's guilt and unwillingness.

As the prince's chief adviser, he failed to realize that King Yong's determination to take risks was disloyal.

As Li Xuanji's sworn brother, it was unjust to fail to die with him that night.

These four words of disloyalty and unrighteousness have been tormenting Xie Tingfeng day and night since the Suzaku Gate change.

Suddenly, Li Cheng thought of a sentence from his previous life:

Regret is the prelude to the rise of the protagonist in movies, but in life it is the poison that makes people sink.

Ten years have passed, and the story of the old man has ended without a problem, and now nothing can be grasped.

Only the tomb under the willow tree remained, like a dagger stuck in Xie Tingfeng's heart.

It bleeds and scabs form. You can't tear it off. If you tear it off, the skin and flesh will be removed.

To this day, it seems that the moment of relief has finally arrived.

a long time,

Li Cheng raised his eyes and looked at Xie Guanchao, who was in a slightly depressed mood.

Kuangshi's life story has been told very clearly, but he is still slightly curious about two small details.

"Uncle," thinking this, he asked softly:
"According to what you said, my uncle pressed on that person step by step and almost pushed him into the corner.

With that decisive character, how could my uncle return to Jiangdu safe and sound? "

After hearing this, Xie Guanchao nodded slightly, and then explained softly:

"Xiao Cheng, what you said is right. Normally, the third brother has no chance of surviving.

But it can only be said that he was lucky. He was not in Chang'an City that night, but in Huangzhuang outside the city. "

"Of course, the third brother has long been on today's blacklist, so it is naturally impossible to write it off.

After the incident happened, I sent someone to capture him back to Chang'an and imprison him. He will be interrogated and executed soon. "

At this point, he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly in a self-deprecating manner, with a somewhat complicated look on his face:
"Ten years ago, the status of the Xie family was not what it is now. Even if I were in Chang'an, I would probably be unable to do anything.

But my brother-in-law happened to be in Guanzhong at that time. After hearing the news, he hurried to Prince Yong's Mansion and talked to the other party, and then let the third brother go. "

Li Cheng:......

Xie Guanchao used the word "reasonable" in his speech very cleverly.

It sounds like the junior sister's father, like the master, also likes to convince people with reason.

very good, very powerful.

Li Cheng narrowed his narrow eyes and accidentally caught a glimpse of his junior sister next to him, trying desperately to resist the urge to burst into laughter.

It seems that the other party also understands the true meaning of convincing people with reason.

Taking the tea to moisten his throat, Li Cheng thought for a moment and then asked:

"Uncle, you just said that he was once the leader of Uncle Li...'s four great advisers. Who are the other three? What's the ending?"

Because the Suzaku Gate Incident was a stain that Emperor Jingyun could never erase in his life, it was a piece of black history.

Therefore, the current government tried its best to cover up relevant events and people in an attempt to erase this historical fact.

In the past, Li Cheng was not particularly concerned about this, so he knew very little about it.

Hearing this, Xie Guanchao coughed lightly, trying to recall, and then replied with some uncertainty:

"Among the four great counselors, the third brother is good at literature and martial arts. He has repeatedly threatened to become a general and lead troops to fight against the Northern Barbarians, so he is the most respected.

Next is the admonisher who is full of strategies for governing the country, has a good temperament, and often speaks out to the prince.

He had a close relationship with his third brother at that time and had a very good relationship. "

"The other two are called knights and poisoners respectively. They only have official positions in the East Palace. The third brother's letters rarely mention them..."

The voice paused for a moment, and then Xie Guanchao said calmly:
“On the night of the Suzaku Gate Incident, the knight escaped from the East Palace with the prince’s youngest son, Prince Julu.

Unfortunately, they were unable to leave Chang'an and died at the North City Gate after being pierced by thousands of arrows.

The poisoner has been missing since that night, his whereabouts are unknown, and no one can be sure whether he is still alive. "

"As for the admonishers, hehe..."

Speaking of this person, Xie Guanchao couldn't help showing a hint of ridicule:
"His name is Xu Zhen, he is the hereditary Duke of Zheng, Guanglu doctor, and his servant."

Li Cheng:? !

Xie Jingzhi:! ! !

Bai Mengyan: (ω)
The hereditary Duke is the top title of the Jin Dynasty, and the Guanglu Doctor is the highest-level civil servant and casual official, which is equivalent to an honorary title.

The most shocking thing is the servant.

Shizhong is an official name, but the highest official in the province.

There is also a more popular name for the servant among the people -

right phase.

In other words,
Xu Zhen, who advised Prince Yin back then, is now the leader of the Dajin Temple.

The prime minister of the current dynasty.

……

……

From Jiangdu to the north and then to the west for more than 2000 miles, passing through the natural barrier of Tongguan, you can reach the imperial capital Chang'an City.

The autumn wind in Chang'an late at night was bleak, blowing withered leaves as they passed by Ning'an Road.

This is the core area of ​​the inner city, adjacent to the palace city. Even an inch of land and an inch of money are not enough to describe it.

The root of the imperial city, the first ring road, is a place where Chang'an's masters live, every day except going to court and sleeping, there is nothing else!
There is an inconspicuous house in the middle of Ning'an Road, with a plaque with the word "Xu Mansion" hanging high on the red lacquer door.

Compared with the nearby tall mansions, Xu Mansion seems a bit shabby.

But there is a saying that if the water is not deep, the dragon will be there.

As the residence of the Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty, even if it is far away on the top of Lishan Mountain, there will be no shortage of people visiting it.

In a slightly dark study room.

Only one lamp was quietly emitting a faint light, illuminating the middle-aged figure with a straight back behind the desk.

crunch.

The wooden door of the study room was slowly pushed open.

The short-bearded man in plain home clothes never took his eyes off the document, still writing on the paper to review something.

Seeing this, the woman who opened the door and entered sighed slightly, as if she had already gotten used to it.

She walked forward silently, put the warm lotus seed soup in the tray on the wooden stand, and then turned to leave.

She had just taken two steps when she suddenly heard a tired voice coming from behind:

"Ma'am, what time is it?"

The delicate woman with crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, but with an excellent temperament turned her head, and said in a bad mood:
"It's already three-quarters of the night, and we'll go to court again in three hours, my prime minister."

"Oh," Xu Zhen lifted the pen tip from the paper and hung it on the pen holder beside it. Xu Zhen raised his head and explained with a smile:
"Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, Beiman's side has started to move around again. I forgot the time because of my husband's busy schedule."

When the woman heard this, her expression was as calm as water, without any fluctuation.

She has been hearing this excuse for more than half a month.

Co-author Beiman Tiantian wants to move, but he just doesn’t move, right?
Oh, man's mouth, deceitful ghost.

If you don't want to go to my bed, just say so. I don't care about you, a veteran.

Seeing the corners of Madam's lips that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Xu Zhen's expression couldn't help but become a little embarrassed.

However, in the blink of an eye, his expression returned to normal, and there was nothing strange about him.

Reaching out to pick up the lotus seed soup next to him, Xu Zhen asked softly as if nothing had happened:
"Did you send someone to Jiangdu for this year's sweet-scented osmanthus?"
