"Look, look at this humble position! Forgive me, forgive me!" Xue Jingxian quickly squatted down and hurriedly collected the chess pieces on the ground.
The prince was very confused, and what was even more confused was his heart. Yang Guozhong and Prince Li Heng were already at odds with each other. As a minion of His Highness the Crown Prince, he naturally had to do his best for his lord. However, the various events in front of the two armies that day made it impossible for him to easily
Make a decision. "Brother Xue is a scholar, just follow me!" "Brother Xue doesn't come to the front line often, so it's time to get more heads. Anyway, we can go and chop them off at any time!" "Brother Xue, be careful.
, the enemy likes to shoot cold arrows!" "Brother Xue drank this bowl of wine, after all we have been on the battlefield together!" "Brother Xue..."
That young and immature face could not even pretend to be hypocritical. When they first started dating, Xue Jingxian was on guard, but later on, he was called "Brother Xue", which made his heart burn. For the first time in his life, he didn't
When receiving any benefit, he began to put himself in the other person's shoes and make plans for him. For the first time in his life, he put his friend's safety before his own interests.
"Your Highness is just asking casually, why is Mr. Xue so scared?!" The man in charge frowned sharply, with a hint of coldness in his voice.
"I'm humble, I'm just walking too fast on the road, my hands and feet are sore. I don't mean to neglect you! Please forgive me, Master Yu!"
.
As the most favored eunuch around the prince, the guy surnamed Yu would certainly not just pass a message to the prince. Including all the conversations with him today, I am afraid that every word needs to be carefully considered. Xue Jingxian
I know very well that in today's meeting, everything I say and do will affect my future weight in His Royal Highness's heart, as well as my future future.
But he really didn't know how to answer the other party's question about the Dawan Dudu's Mansion! To be honest, in Xue Jingxian's many years of official ups and downs, he had no more than five true friends in total, and Wang Xun, Yu Wen Zhihe
Song Wu is exactly three of them. Although these three young men have different personalities and are a little immature in their behavior. But the days with them were the most laughable and relaxing times for Xue Jingxian in his life. Before and after,
It has never been so pleasant.
"Hmph!" The eunuch named Yu held a black seed in his hand and played with it repeatedly, as if he could crush it to pieces at any time. It was time to beat the guy named Xue, otherwise, he really didn't know how many bowls of porridge he would eat.
If you dare to play tricks in front of our family, do you think that if you lose to our family a few games of chess by pretending, our family will look at you differently?
Xue Jingxian was startled by the cold snort. He did not dare to delay any more time. He nodded and said thoughtfully: "Returning to His Majesty the Crown Prince and your lord, Beizhi. Back then, Beizhi was ordered to go to Anxi. He mainly made friends with people, and now he is from the Dawan Governor's Mansion.
Several generals were not ranked at all. It was not because they were unwilling to do things because of their humble position, but because they, a few of them, were really in too low a position at that time."
"Huh?!" Another cold snort came from the nostrils of the eunuch named Yu, who was obviously very dissatisfied with Xue Jingxian's answer. But he couldn't find any thorns in this answer. After all, in those days, Wang Xun and Yu Wenzhi
No matter what, he is just a small captain. He is not even a partial general. How can he be regarded by outsiders?
"You are in a humble position and have little experience. I didn't expect them to rise so quickly. They have failed to fulfill His Majesty the Crown Prince's trust. Please punish me!" Xue Jingxian's legs softened and he touched his head to the ground, unable to kneel down.
Your Highness, this is definitely not the answer you need. However, the moment he opened his mouth, Xue Jingxian had already made a choice in his heart. He could not involve Wang Xun and others, at least he could not involve Wang Xun and others by his own hands.
The pool of water entering the capital was too murky. They were too young, too pure, and the pool of water in the capital was too old, smelly, too turbid, and too dirty.
"That's true!" the eunuch named Yu threw the black piece into the chess box with confidence and said disdainfully. He looked down on Xue Jingxian's image as a scoundrel, but he couldn't do anything more to the other side. He had accepted the punishment and accepted the attack, so what else could he do?
.Is it really possible to kill him with one knife? "Get up. We are not His Highness, so we cannot accept your great gift!"
"Meeting Your Majesty in a humble position is like meeting Your Highness! Besides, in a humble position today, don't you rely on Your Majesty's good words in front of Your Highness?"
Let the warmth return to the face of the eunuch named Yu.
"My family, our family has never said anything good for you. You thanked the wrong person!" Yu shook his head gently and looked at Xue Jingxian with a very complicated look, "Get up! Stand and speak. Your status,
You earned it all by yourself. Not everyone has the courage to go to a place as far away as Shule, and not everyone can come back with a lot of credit! His Highness is well aware of this. But..."
He prolonged his voice and began to tap again. "Why didn't you take a longer-term view back then? Don't bully a young man into being poor. Haven't you ever heard someone say this?!"
"Humble job, humble job. Humble job was really short-sighted back then!" Xue Jingxian kowtowed again, then stood up in a dignified manner, lowering his hands as if convinced.
His attitude of admitting his mistake was so good that it made it difficult for the eunuch named Yu to continue to use the topic. The officials near the capital were too smart. Those who were willing to make a clear stand on the prince's side like Xue Jingxian were already very rare. So even if Xue Jingxian was really talking to Wang
Xun and others lied about their friendship. At this time, there was no reason to force them to work under Yang Guozhong!
Besides, the prince and Yang Guozhong might one day be facing each other. One more person on the East Palace side means one less person on Yang Guozhong's side. Even if he doesn't have much strength by then, he can at least shout a few words to strengthen his reputation.
?
Thinking of this section, the smile on the eunuch named Yu's face became more ambiguous, and his words became gentler, "Forget it. I don't blame you for this. Who would have thought that Feng Changqing would spare so many generals under his command?
Why did you send a few young boys to clean up the Yaochashui along the coast?! Go down and think about it carefully, summarize the tempers, temperaments and hobbies of the three young men, write a note and submit it to the East Palace.
.By the way, let’s think about it again, is there any way to quickly establish friendship with them. The matter is urgent, and there is no one else available for His Highness at the moment, so we have no choice but to hand over the task to you. This is a rare opportunity, I hope you can
Cherish it! Don’t let down His Highness and our family’s expectations again!”
"Cherish!" The word "Cherish!" was deliberately prolonged by him. Xue Jingxian bowed his waist and expressed his position repeatedly, not daring to live up to His Highness the Crown Prince's trust, but the belief in his heart became stronger.
We can't let Wang Xun and the others get involved, absolutely not! Just call me Brother Xue sincerely to them. In this life, people can do things against their will for the sake of fame and wealth, but there must be no limit. Otherwise,
Even if you have wealth, how can you sleep peacefully at night?
There are undercurrents in the capital these days, and Xue Jingxian is very clear about it. He is also very clear about why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to get in touch with Wang Xun and others. They are all thinking about bringing back the brave and capable elite soldiers of the Dawan Governor's Palace to Chang'an.
, take it back for your own use. No one has ever thought that once Wang Xun and others return from Zhezhe City, who will fall into the hands of that sacred land that was exchanged for the lives of countless soldiers!
While he was gnashing his teeth, he heard the eunuch named Yu ask again: "We remember that you once sent a letter home to Chang'an for the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army, right? Have you ever entered the home of the Governor of Dayuan King? It's rare to go back to Chang'an once, so you might as well
Let’s go visit the elders of the Wang family. The soldiers have endured hardships on the front line, so we should fulfill our filial piety for them!”
"No!" It was very cold, but Xue Jingxian was sweating on his forehead. He was not sure at all how much the other party believed what he just said. Since His Highness the Crown Prince even knew that he had sent a letter from Wang Xun's family, he might not be sure
I don’t know that when I was in the Western Region, I was very close to a few teenagers!
Seeing the panic on Xue Jingxian's face, the eunuch named Yu snickered in his heart. He shook his head and said very considerately, "Go ahead and be generous. If you need money, go to Liuji Pharmacy in the west of the city and ask for it from shopkeeper Li."
"It's a humble position. I'm ashamed of my humble position!"
"Go ahead, His Highness knows you are an upright official!" Eunuch named Yu flicked his sleeves, interrupting Xue Jingxian's explanation. "Be lenient and spend money. By the way, buy yourself some decent clothes. Don't act like a beggar.
Now you are not only embarrassing yourself!"
"I will obey your teachings!"
"Tell me!" The eunuch named Yu showed some expectation on his face and encouraged him with a smile.
"I feel that there are many capable warriors in the Anxi army, so why should His Highness only focus on a few of these young men? Even if they are too far apart, their abilities may not be as great as the rumors say!" Xue Jingxian mustered up all his courage.
, suggested in a low voice.
"This is not what you can care about." The eunuch named Yu's face tightened, and his expression changed rapidly. "Do your own thing and don't ask too much!"
"No!" Xue Jingxian bowed his head to the ground and turned to say goodbye. Looking at his thin back that was gradually going away, the eyes of the eunuch named Yu slowly became colder, colder, and became as sharp as a blade.
'Young man, if you want to play tricks on our family, you are too young!' He grabbed several chess pieces from the chess box, and regardless of whether they were black or white, he placed them one by one on the scale. 'We are trying to scheming with others.
By the time, I'm afraid you haven't even started working yet! I'll let you go for now, and after we're done, we'll settle the accounts slowly!'
Hundreds of thousands of houses are like a Go game, and twelve streets are like vegetable beds. Chang'an is so big that it can fit together into a game.
