"When the gentleman sacrifices in the temple, it has already been prepared." Wei whispered.
Her beautiful eyes were looking at the ground, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the haze on her face had disappeared.
Everyone knew that Xin You had withdrawn his troops.
Fan Ni looked at Wei with a bewildered expression on his face.
"My fair lady, a gentleman is so stubborn...I finally know why Xin people dare to go to Mu Luotian alone with their swords."
Hearing this, Wei's face turned red.
Xin You was also a little embarrassed: "That's all, don't mention the past."
"Haha, okay, okay." Fan Ni thought that Xin didn't want to mention being defeated by the soldiers, so he stopped talking about it.
And Xin didn't care about that.
Just how should I and Wei get along with each other?
Continue to develop?
Xin You always felt a little embarrassed. After all, after time traveling, he actually didn't have such deep feelings for Wei.
Abandon it?
It doesn’t seem quite right either.
…
Let nature take its course! Xin You secretly said: Don’t take the initiative, don’t refuse!
Of course, you still have to bear the responsibility!
"Gentleman, just now Madam asked you to go to the back room when you come back." She said softly.
"Well, let's just say that I'm having a banquet with Dr. Puyi in the hall, and I have some things to talk about about the Rong people. I'll go there later." Xin replied.
"this……"
"Don't be afraid, just do as I say."
Xin You's attitude left Fan Ni speechless.
"Xinren, you seem to have changed into a different person..."
The previous Xin You was notoriously cowardly and did not dare to disobey his mother even a word.
"Some changes made me understand something." Xin You could only explain: "I am a doctor of Yi, not a decoration of Xin Yi."
"I have long said that Mr. Xin should stand on his own feet." Fan Ni said: "Jun Xin is proficient in the six arts, how can you let... let people like the Fan family ride on your head?"
When he mentioned "Fan", Fan Ni lowered his voice.
He also knew a little bit about Xinyi's affairs.
After all, Fanyi had encountered the same thing before, but it was all solved by his father Fanming.
While talking, the diner brought some simple food.
On the table in front of each person, there is a pottery gui containing cooked corn.
Gui is a vessel for cooking food. The upper part is like a large bowl with a round mouth and two ears.
There are also round feet below, which hold up the upper part.
Next to the Gui, there are several high-legged round disks called "beans".
There are some dried meat, pickled vegetables and sauced meat inside.
The corn scooped out of the gui can also be eaten in beans.
Behind Xin You and Fan Ni, each stood a slave, holding a ladle made of wine gourds to hold and pour wine.
The drinking utensils are two exquisite bronze goblets.
"Fanjun, how about we not need these complicated rituals today and just have a nice talk?" Xin asked again.
Fan Ni clapped his hands: "It couldn't be better!"
The two of them pushed back and picked up the bronze goblet.
"Hey... the Xin family has declined, and now only these two bronze goblets can remind people of the majesty of their ancestors."
Xin You couldn't help but sigh.
These two bronze goblets are family heirlooms of the Xin family and are usually not taken out.
Fan Ni smiled and said: "We are all members of the seventh surname of Cong Wang, so why shouldn't we, the Fan family, be the same?"
As they spoke, the two raised their bronze goblets and each took a sip.
When the Xin family and the Fan family were in Zongzhou (the self-proclaimed name of the Western Zhou people), their fiefdoms were within the territory of the king at that time, and they were important officials of the Wang family in all dynasties.
When King Ping moved eastward, seven surnames (tribes) moved with King Ping to what is now Wangji, but they gradually declined.
Fan Ni was also a member of the Fan family, and now he was just the same as Xin You, just a high official in the municipality.
"My late father wanted our Xin family to return to the temple, but the Xin family has been away from the inner court for too long, so it is not easy to go back."
In this era, one's origin almost determines one's height.
Xin You and Fan Ni are minor nobles, so they can be officials of the town who have enough food and clothing.
But it is difficult to think of the three princes in the royal family.
Those positions are occupied by the most powerful princes and kings in the kingdom!
For example, Liu Gong and Shan Gong.
Fan Ni said: "Mr.
After saying that, Fan Ni smiled bitterly and shook his head.
After moving eastward, the situation of the Fan family was much worse than that of the Xin family, and they soon disappeared from the annals of history.
As he said that, Fan Ni's eyes suddenly opened: "By the way! I heard that Zhao Boying was killed!"
"Really!? It's just as I expected!" Xin looked very excited when he heard the news.
"Oh? Did Mr. Xin expect this a long time ago??" Su Ni was curious. This was his first-hand news: "Don't they all say that Mr. Liu personally told Zhao Boying and Yin Gu that they would be spared the death penalty before they came back?
"
Xin took another sip of wine and said, "Do you know about Yin Gu's death?"
"Hmm... of course I know. Yin Gu followed the prince to the south. He returned to the royal city three years ago for unknown reasons and was killed by his countrymen not long after." Fan Ni said.
Xin went on to say: "It is said that when he came back, an old woman said that he 'would always encourage others to cause trouble, but he would do the opposite after a few days'. He incited civil strife and supported the prince's dynasty, which was originally a capital crime. But he then
I followed the prince and ran south, but I was lucky enough to survive. Who knew that this fool would return to the royal city again? Do you really think that no one would dare to kill him? What is the point of waiting for such a person to die? "
Yin Gu, also known as Yin Wengong, and Zhao Gong Zhao Boying were both staunch supporters of the princely dynasty.
When the prince dynasty was fighting with the current King Jing of Zhou, they defeated Liu Gong and Shan Gong who supported King Jing many times.
After the failure of the prince's dynasty, Yin Gu originally ran south, but who knew that he returned to the royal city after a while.
As for the reason for coming back, no one knows.
"Xin Jun means that the reason for Yin Gu's death is the same as that of Zhao Boying? It's all because of their relationship with Wang Zichao?"
"Of course!" Xin said again: "Although the prince is running south to Chu, there are many remaining parties in the king's territory. How can the emperor rest assured that there are two such scourges sleeping beside his bed?"
"But Yin Gu was killed by his countrymen..."
"Haha... Chinese people, Chinese people also have masters behind them." Xin added.
Fan Ni seemed to understand something, but he continued to ask: "Then why did Liu Gong personally order the killing of Zhao Boying three years later, instead of assassinating her like Yin Gu?"
"When Yin Gu fled south, many members of the Yin family did not go south and were still entrenched in their Yin family's fiefdom. This was also the reason for Yin Gu to dare to come back.
"Yin Gu must die, but he cannot offend the Yin family, so just kill one Yin Gu, and the Yin family will not pursue it.
"But Zhao Boying is completely different. Most of the Zhao clan members have gone south. Liu Gong and Shan Gong are eager to find an excuse to convict him. They not only want to kill Zhao Boying, but also destroy the remaining Zhao clan members.
!
"Now that the situation in Wangji Nei is basically stable, the time to kill Boying is just right! This shows the emperor's determination. He will never give those who defect to the prince's dynasty a way out!"
At this point, Xin's eyes flickered: "Speaking of which, this is very likely to be an opportunity for you and me..."
"Chance?!"
"Yes, the Yin family drove my Xin family out of the royal city back then, and your Fan family has always been at odds with the Zhao family. Now that the Yin family is declining and the Fan Kingdom is about to be destroyed, isn't this our opportunity?"
Fan Ni narrowed his eyes tightly, frowned and thought for a long time.
Xin saw that he hadn't figured it out yet, so he gave a hint:
"After the prince went south, he was not only followed by some families, but also some officials from the inner and outer dynasties. Now that the Zhou royal family has recovered from a serious illness and the officials are in decline, if the emperor wants to use some new historians, he must choose and
They have nothing to do with each other."
"So that's it!" Su Ni suddenly realized: "You, the Xin family, have been the historians for generations, and the Yin family will definitely not be able to use it. This is naturally your Xin family's opportunity!"
"Yes! And after Zhao Boying and Zhao Kingdom are destroyed, many more fiefdoms will be in the hands of the emperor. The Situ lineage that Zhao Boying has always controlled will also be an opportunity for your Fan family!"
After hearing this, Fan Ni understood what Xin You was thinking.
However, he still scratched his head: "But we are just city officials. We don't even have the opportunity to meet the emperor. How can we enter the court and serve as officials..." This chapter has been completed!
