The 400th Shocking Mystery
Xia Hongsheng looked around, and the familiar scene in front of him made him a little dazed for a while. The servant and the shopkeeper are still the same familiar faces, the same seat, the same location, through the windowsill, what you see is the same street scene. The old tree next to the window is still the same old tree, but there are no leaves on it, which seems to indicate that everything is still different after all.
"Master Hou, the dishes are ready, do you think they will come up together, or will they be served one by one?" The shopkeeper bowed respectfully and stood at the table and asked cautiously.
"Let's come up together." Xia Hongsheng nodded to the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, how do you know?" ”
The showcase hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Back to the Hou Ye, the little one is the one who listens to the general number." ”
Soon, the little guy in the store brought the dishes to the table, placed them neatly, and respectfully retreated.
"These are still the flavors when Hou Ye taught our cooks to make them, Hou Ye uses them slowly, and the small ones are waiting outside." After the dishes were served, the shopkeeper gave a respectful salute, withdrew from the seat, and lowered the curtain.
Xia Hongsheng looked outside: "What Ben Hou is talking about is secret, wait for you to go down and watch, don't let people come up." ”
"Yes!" The shopkeeper responded outside, and then led the group of servants downstairs quickly.
On the second floor of the entire Yixiangju, there were only two people left, Xia Hongsheng and Youji.
The two looked at each other, but neither spoke. After being silent for a long time, Xia Hongsheng sighed, picked up a chopstick dish, put it on the plate in front of Youji, and said, "Try it while it's hot, these delicacies can only be eaten in Yixiangju." It is the drunken immortal residence in Chang'an City. There is also none. ”
Seeing Xia Hongsheng open his mouth first. Youji also opened her mouth and said with a smile: "Listening to what the shopkeeper said, these dishes were taught to them by Gongzi?" ”
"You should know that my family is in a dilapidated state, when I was in Luanzhou City, in order to make the family better, so my sister-in-law sold some easy-to-make snacks in the market to subsidize the family. It's right across the door from this Yixiang House. My sister-in-law is a girl, and I want to study in the academy again. Worried that there would be scoundrels in the market causing trouble, he took this table of dishes as a reward and changed to Yixiangju to take care of it. ”
"The concubine is also curious, the son has been in Luanzhou City for thirteen years, and I heard that Fang Jue's son before the age of last year and the son after the age of last year are simply like two people." You Ji said, then tasted the dish in front of her, and then picked up a chopstick and put it into Xia Hongsheng's plate: "Childe taste this, it's light and delicious." ”
Xia Hongsheng smiled: "I'm also curious." It is not limited to Concubine Zheng herself, or an old minister in the court. The old ministry of the Emperor Taishang...... Even the Qin Wangfu cadres and others, all over the world, the eldest daughter of the capital was built to die early, but I don't know why. ”
"Childe can know Suye City?" You Ji put down her chopsticks and said, "What happened back then, but the concubine doesn't know. Since the concubine can remember, she has been in Suye City with her brother, and she has been running in Suye City with his father's trusted people. The things about my father and my mother were also learned from the nurse. It wasn't until the Wude period that the nurse died of illness and came back with the guards. Although his father was very fond of him, he was always unwilling to tell why he sent his concubine and brother to Suye City. In the ninth year of Wude, his father felt that he was in danger, so he ordered his concubine and brother to return to Suye City. 's father thought that even if Li Shimin tore his face, he would not be able to kill women and children in the end, and it was also in order not to be guessed by others, so he left behind all the younger brothers. But he didn't want to, that Li Shimin was so cold-blooded that he refused to let go of his young nephew, and even slaughtered all the young brothers of the concubine! ”
"Brother?!" Xia Hongsheng was taken aback. She...... She still has a brother?!
You Ji looked at Xia Hongsheng and said softly: "Since Gongzi knows that the eldest daughter of the prince died early, hasn't he heard that the eldest son Chengzong also died early?" ”
Xia Hongsheng's heart was shocked, and he didn't hold the chopsticks steady all of a sudden, and fell to the ground.
"My father has always understood that he is not Li Shimin's opponent. His father's courage did not lose to Li Shimin, and his benevolence was even better, but he was far less cunning than Li Shimin. Youji stared at Xia Hongsheng and said softly: "My father secretly sent his brother and concubine to Suye City under the pretext of dying early, so that his brother and concubine could run Suye City and use it as the foundation for his comeback. It's just that he was shocked to hear that his family had suffered a catastrophe, and his brother was so depressed that he no longer had the fighting spirit, so he stayed in Suye City, unwilling to step into the Central Plains again. ”
Xia Hongsheng didn't speak, and there was a feeling that the three views were ruined. Even though Xia Hongsheng came from later generations, he knew that according to the research of later generations, Li Jiancheng was not as incompetent, despicable and mediocre as widely rumored, but was a straightforward, simple, benevolent, and very talented prince, Li Shimin was indeed more cunning than Li Jiancheng, but after listening to Youji's words, he was still shocked like a lightning strike.
Really? Isn't the brain hole too big?!
After digesting it for a long time, Xia Hongsheng finally calmed down again, bent down and picked up the chopsticks, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "It's really sensational, I can't imagine that the eldest son and eldest daughter of King Xi were actually sent to Suye City as soon as they were born, this is something that even I don't know!" ”
"Childe now knows." Youji stared at Xia Hongsheng and said.
Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "I know, but I don't believe it." Dead is dead, don't make a fuss about people who have died, disturb the peace of the dead, it's not good. ”
Youji smiled lightly and picked up the cup in front of her: "Thank you Gongzi, the concubine respects Gongzi with a cup." ”
"Yuhime, I told you before, and I know far more than you can imagine. I know what this positive Li Jiancheng looks like, and I also know what the real Li Shimin looks like. If I had been born a few years earlier, perhaps I would have helped Li Jiancheng. But the world is so hard to control, I didn't show up at that time. And putting aside those dark pasts, the current emperor is indeed a bright monarch. The deceased is gone, can he still come back to life? We all live in the present after all. So I help the Holy One today. You are antagonistic to the emperor because of the hatred of destroying the door, but you can't ask me to oppose him, after all, it is not me who is destroyed, I will not empathize with you, and I will not experience the despair and hatred you have experienced. Xia Hongsheng sighed and said to Youji: "It is precisely because I know what the real Li Jiancheng is, so I let you go again and again." But you are still obsessed in the end, and you have come to this point, and you can only take the blame for yourself, and you can't blame others. ”
"Oh? Gongzi has repeatedly spared his concubines, but is it because of this? You Ji made a look of surprise and resentment, and said, "Isn't it because I fell in love with the appearance of the concubine?" The concubine is still secretly happy because she can enter the eyes of the son, but she is self-inflicted! ”
Xia Hongsheng squirted out a mouthful of water, and coughed dryly. (To be continued.) )
