"I don't have such a good drinking capacity..." Before Hong Xi finished speaking, Hong Zhou, who smelled of alcohol, had already hooked his neck and said: "We brothers haven't seen each other for so long, do you really refuse to even drink? ?”
"If you want to drink, there are plenty of opportunities, but you are like this. You really shouldn't drink anymore." As soon as Hong Xi finished speaking, he felt that his hand was empty, and the bottle had been snatched away by Hong Zhou, "Forget it if you don't accompany me, you I’m the same person who is with him, and they all want me to die, so go away! Go away, I don’t need you to pretend to care here!”
Although Hong Xi only came to the capital once a month, he knew everything about the affairs in the capital through his eyeliner. He knew that the "him" in Hong Zhou's words referred to Hong Li. His heart moved slightly, but he was quickly suppressed and said : "Lao Wu, don't go crazy, go back quickly, otherwise I will have someone take you back."
"You!" Hong Zhou pointed at him, "You are so talkative. You can do whatever you want and escort me? Believe it or not, I killed all these people. I don't care about anything now."
Facing his words, Hong Xi was silent for a long time before saying: "Well, in that case, as the elder brother, I will have another drink with you, and then go to my house."
Although Hong Zhou was extremely drunk, he could still understand what he was saying. He showed a drunken smile and flirted with Hong Xi again: "It's better for you. Unlike that fourth child, he doesn't take others seriously when he becomes the emperor. I don’t want to think about how much effort I have put into him to be here today, letting him shout and drink, acting like a cow and a horse..." He wanted to say more, but Hong Xi had already covered his mouth and said solemnly: "Look You, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are, follow me back quickly."
He led people to bring the chattering Hong Zhou back to his house in the capital. Hong Xi sent someone to get a few bottles of wine to drink with Hong Zhou. Seeing that Hong Zhou was getting drunker, he tried to say: " Lao Wu, why did you end up like this with the emperor when you were so good? I remember that the emperor trusted you the most before."
"Why?" Hong Zhou said with drunken eyes and confusion: "It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. It is absolutely true. I just disagreed with him on court matters. I just said a few words, and he said that I was arrogant and ignorant. The monarch has targeted me again and again, and even removed all my errands. Brother..." Hong Zhou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Tianjia... Where is the brotherhood from? It's just used to deceive people. Now I admit it. It doesn't matter if it's cleared up. From now on, he will take his Yangguan Road and I will cross my single-plank bridge."
"Are you willing?" A strange light flashed in Hong Xi's dark eyes, like a meteor flashing past in the dark night.
Hong Zhou pounded the table hard, knocking out all the wine in the glass, and growled: "Of course I'm not willing to give in. Half of his throne was earned by me for him. Why should he relieve me of my errand? Why should he relieve me?" What?!"
Hong Xi advised: "Who calls him the emperor? Of course he can do anything. We ministers can do nothing but endure."
"Emperor?" Hong Zhou stared at his red eyes and said, "Don't forget, we are all named Aixinjueluo. We are all descendants of the Holy Ancestor. We all share the same blood. What qualifications does he have to leap over us?" on the head."
"Stop talking. If these words reach the ears of the emperor, not to mention the prince, I'm afraid he won't even be afraid of his life. After drinking this, go to bed quickly. Listen to my advice and be more open-minded about everything. In this mood That will be good."
Hong Zhou opened his drunken eyes and laughed bitterly: "Yeah, look away, otherwise I'm really afraid that I will be tortured to death. The emperor... haha, the emperor..." At this point, Hong Zhou fell down. On the table, unconscious.
Hong Xi stared at the drunk Hong Zhou with a thoughtful expression, and after ordering someone to take care of Hong Zhou, he walked out.
After sleeping until three o'clock in the morning, Hong Zhou just woke up and got up from the bed with a splitting headache. Before he could speak, the maid waiting aside had already said: "Your Majesty, please change your clothes. My master is waiting in the front hall." With you."
Hong Zhou shook his head that was in severe pain and said, "Who is your master? Where is this?"
"You'll know when you go and see him." The maid was only willing to say this. In desperation, Hong Zhou had no choice but to freshen up and change clothes, and then followed the maid to the front hall. After seeing Hong Xi sitting there drinking tea, he first said: He was stunned for a moment, and then he patted his forehead and said, "Who is it? It turns out to be the eldest brother." Hong Xi is the eldest of the Hong generation, so Hong Zhou and others all respectfully call him eldest brother.
Hong Xi put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "I finally woke up. I was drunk last night. Fortunately, I met you. Otherwise, you would have been so drunk that you would have slept on the street."
Hong Zhou sat down in the chair and said, "I'm just kidding you. I've been in a bad mood lately, so I drank a little more."
"I know why you are in a bad mood, but just like what I told you last night, keep an open mind on everything and don't take it too seriously. Look at me, I play with the birds and walk the dog every day, and I accompany a few Fujins on sightseeing tours. How wonderful."
"Last night?" Hong Zhou looked at Hong Xi blankly, shook his head and said, "What did you say last night that I can't remember?"
Hong Xi's expression moved slightly, and then he smiled and said: "You were so drunk last night that it's normal that you can't remember it. Okay, it's nothing. It's just a casual talk between brothers. In short, listen to the elder brother's advice and don't think too much. More. Also, drink less wine. Although Du Kang can relieve worries, when you wake up, you will be more worried and it will hurt your body."
"I don't know what the elder brother said. It's just that besides drinking, I really can't find any other way to relieve my worries. As for the sightseeing tour that the elder brother said." Hong Zhou waved his hands and said, "Let's talk about it when I reach the age of the elder brother. .”
Hong Xi shook his head and said: "Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you'll go drinking again if I let you go back. Let's do this. I'll go back to Zhengjiazhuang today. How about you stay with me for a few days? You have no errands now, so you don't need to I go to Dian Mao every day. Speaking of which, except for the family banquet in the palace, we brothers have never sat down to drink and chat together seriously."
Hong Zhou thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, I'll go to my eldest brother's house as a guest. Then, eldest brother, don't rush me away."
Hong Xi smiled and said: "Look what you said, am I this kind of person? Okay, I'll send someone to your house to inform you, and then we'll set off."
The fact that Hongzhou followed Hongxi to Zhengjiazhuang reached Hongli's ears immediately through a secret agent. Xianyue happened to be there too. He said sadly: "It seems that your plan has succeeded."
Xianyue shook her head and said: "Prince Li has just taken the bait now, and it is too early to say that he will succeed. It depends on how Prince He responds. I hope he can calm down and not reveal his secret in a hurry."
Hongli was very confident, "I believe in Lao Wu. Either he doesn't do it, or he will do his best if he does it."
