Luo Shixing swallowed, and simply replied, "Yes."

He didn't want to quibble in front of Wu Zhao anymore, mainly because it was useless to quibble, because a person of such status would not be able to speak out at will if he didn't have definite news and evidence.

So it's better to admit it directly. Anyway, Wu Zhao didn't jump into a rage and wanted to chop off his head when he found out. It can be seen that he can still mediate.

Wu Zhao nodded slightly and said, "King Luo Bin has a brilliant literary talent, and you are not inferior to your father."

Luo Shixing analyzed the tone or meaning of this sentence, but he couldn't figure out anything, and deeply felt that his political IQ was not enough.

Wu Zhao glanced at him again, remembering that before Luo Shixing came over, Yuan Keshi once said that Luo Shixing should go south. As for the specific location, it is optional, as long as it is south of Chang'an.

Wu Zhao didn't speak, Princess Taiping looked at Luo Shixing again, then turned to Wu Zhao and said, "Mother, I like him, give him to me."

Luo Shixing looked shocked, Your Highness, did you just say that in front of your mother?Not reserved?

Of course Princess Taiping is not reserved. She has never been reserved in her education since she was a child. She can just stretch out her hands and open her mouth for what she wants. As long as it is not too much, her parents and even brothers will satisfy her.

Let's say that Princess Taiping is nineteen and eighteen years old this year, but she already has a son-in-law, that is the famous Xue Shao.

Luo Shixing still knew about these things, and wondered in his heart, didn't it mean that Princess Taiping and Xue Shao were true love?Why do you want to raise a little lover by your side?

He would not believe that Princess Taiping wanted him there just because of his face, oh, at his age, he really only wanted to see his face.

So, Princess Taiping still wants to cultivate her?

He was a little worried. With Wu Zhao's love for his daughter, he might agree.

But Wu Zhao said, "This is after conspiracy, Si Niang, don't be naughty."

Luo Shixing heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that being the son of a rebel would save him from the predicament of becoming the "harem" of Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping didn't know anything. She returned to Wu Zhao and hugged her mother's arm and said, "Mother, what does he know as a child? He has outstanding literary talents at a young age, and he might have great achievements in the future. Isn't it the same for Shangguan Cairen?"

The Shangguan talented person she was talking about was naturally Shangguan Wan'er, who was also an old acquaintance of everyone. Her grandfather, Shangguanyi, was also guilty of treason. However, most people knew that Shangguanyi was framed.

According to historical records, Shangguan Wan'er was named a talented person at the age of 13 and became a female official next to Wu Zhao. Outsiders called her "Neisheren", but Princess Taiping naturally would not call her that.

Wu Zhao smiled slightly: "What Si Niang said is also reasonable, so I will give Luo Shizi two choices."

Luo Shixing's ears perked up when he heard this, and he was a little curious, let him choose?It was already very difficult for Wu Zhao to spare his life, yet he still gave him a choice?

He boldly asked: "I don't know how the Empress Dowager will deal with criminals?"

Wu Zhao stared at him and said, "Entry into the palace or be exiled, choose one."

After hearing this, Princess Taiping glanced at Wu Zhao, deeply feeling that her mother rejected her just now because she wanted to keep this person by her side.

Wu Zhao did have this kind of heart, of course it had nothing to do with sex, at such a young age, he couldn't even think of sex. The root cause of Wu Zhao's idea was Yuan Keshi's sentence: the reincarnation of the same star.

Luo Shixing's eyes widened.

The word "entering the palace" shocked him. If he was a young lady, then the word "entering the palace" might mean that he wanted to be the emperor's concubine. However, he was a man. The only men in the court were the emperor and the underage prince. Plus guards, other men... are not men.

At his age, height, and small arms and legs, it's impossible for him to be a bodyguard, so it's only possible... Thinking of this, Luo Shixing couldn't help but feel a chill in his crotch, and felt a little tangled.

Master Yuan Keshi, who had been setting things aside for a long time, suddenly said, "You are right in front of the Empress Dowager."

Luo Shixing looked at him, then at Wu Zhao, and finally said with a sudden heart: "The sinner is willing to be exiled to atone for the crime of my father."

According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, there were generally two places for exile, either the west or the south.

In the west, it should be outside Yumen Pass. Most of the places there are Gobi desert. Although the climate is harsh and desolate, it is not without oases, and they can survive, but they are not very good.

As for the south, the future generations will think that the south is better, but the environment there has not been destroyed, there are many mountains, forests and rain, and the living conditions are not good, so it is actually not easy to live.

But in any case, it is better than entering the palace. At most, life is a little bit harder, but the probability of surviving is relatively high. Staying in the palace seems to be living in the most prosperous place, but it is too dangerous here. The step killing machine is not much different.

If he speaks carelessly, he may lose his life. He doesn't think that he can still feel like a fish in water in front of a group of people, so he might as well leave!

After hearing this, Wu Zhao turned to look at Master Yuan Ke: "Is it really God's will?"

Yuan Keshi bowed his head with a smile, and Luo Shixing's choice of exile is equivalent to evidence.

After all, entering the palace means rich clothes and fine food, but this child chose to be exiled.

Wu Zhao believed most of it in his heart, and said casually, "Then exile to Jiaozhou."

Luo Shixing's ears moved, a little confused, where is this?

No matter how familiar he was with the history of this period, he did not remember all the place names in the territory of the Tang Dynasty clearly.

Princess Taiping was a little unhappy and said: "Auntie wants to give you grace, but you don't want it. Could it be that the heart of treason is still alive?"

Luo Shixing's legs softened and he almost knelt down again on the spot. He said that it was difficult to get along with this group of people. Look, if you don't move, it will kill you.

He took a sneak peek at Wu Zhao, the future empress and the current empress dowager couldn't tell the joy and anger on her face, so Luo Shixing could only explain: "Because the sinner knew that my father made a big mistake, so he wanted to atone for his father, so he just wanted to make amends." I beg the queen mother to send down Long En and spare my father's life."

There is some truth in his explanation. He chose to be exiled in exchange for King Luo Bin's life. If people know about it, they will praise him for his filial piety.

Princess Taiping was not easy to fool and said: "If you stay, you can pay off your merits and even have a better future. Why do you need to be exiled?"

Luo Shixing: ...

He felt that this matter was a bit magical. Under normal circumstances, people who have committed crimes begged not to be exiled. Why did they become Princess Taiping here and persuade him not to be exiled?

He was a little vigilant, Princess Taiping is a noble person, and in this era, she shouldn't care about the coming and going of a commoner, she must have other ideas if she cares so much.

He'd better...stay away.

Wu Zhao dotes on Princess Taiping very much, and it is dangerous to stay by her side.

Fortunately, Wu Zhao's so-called choice just now was more like a temptation. He didn't know what the temptation was, so she called Princess Taiping back to her side and asked Yuan Keshi to lead Luo Shixing back.

Walking out of the palace, Luo Shixing couldn't help shaking when a gust of wind blew, only to realize that his underwear had been soaked with sweat from his body.

He didn't notice in the Xuanzheng Hall just now, his mind was too tense and his heart was exhausted, so he didn't even want to say a word at this moment.

But some things still need to be asked.

Luo Shixing looked up at Keshi Yuan: "Da Ling, why does the Empress Dowager want to see me?"

Now he is a little confused. It can't be that Wu Zhao is curious about the child prodigy because he heard that he can "modify" the call to action for King Luo Bin?

It's not that he is self-effacing, the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty has produced many capable people, and child prodigies are naturally indispensable. He is not particularly miraculous, and it does not make Wu Zhao curious.

Master Yuan Ke made allowances for Luo Shixing's short legs, and said while walking slowly: "There are some things that you should not know for the time being."

The corners of Luo Shixing's mouth twitched. These words sound familiar. In many stories, the protagonist is more curious in this situation.

Luo Shixing thought for a while, he didn't have the cheats of those protagonists, if he really had cheats, his family would not be destroyed within two days of the good life, so he resolutely put this matter aside and didn't ask any more.

But he asked another question: "Then... where is Jiaozhou?"

Master Yuan Keshi thought for a while and said, "Jiaozhou belongs to the Annan Protectorate's Mansion, one of the five Lingnan governors. Do you know where the Annan Protectorate's Mansion is located?"

Luo Shixing's face turned green: "I know."

How could it be possible not to know?Today's Annan is actually the Vietnam of later generations!

He calculated in his heart, this exile must be three thousand miles, right?Good guy, he will never even think about going back to the Central Plains in his life.

There is also a reason for him to think so. Although they were all exiled in the Tang Dynasty, the degree of exile was also different. The distance from the place of exile to Chang'an ranged from one thousand to three thousand miles.

The crimes that are not so serious are closer, and three thousand miles is the heaviest punishment, and the difference in punishment specifications is that when the world amnesties, those who are closer can be pardoned and returned to their original places, but three thousand miles cannot. , wherever you are.

Luo Shixing originally thought of being exiled now, and Li Dan would amnesty the world soon after he ascended the throne, and Wu Zhao should have forgotten him by then, and he would be able to come back by then, and the living conditions in the Central Plains were better in this era.

Well now, give up as soon as possible.

Luo Shixing pursed his lips, feeling a little depressed. He still wanted to go home and have a look. Thinking of home, he looked up at Master Yuan Ke and asked, "Then... Daling, can you tell me about my father and elder brother? How is everything?"

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "If it is inconvenient, you don't need to tell me."

Yuan Keshi didn't hide anything this time and said happily: "Your father's whereabouts are unknown now, brother Ling...has been beheaded."

Luo Shixing was silent for a while before replying in a low voice, without saying anything, feeling somewhat sad in his heart.

He had never seen Luo Shizhi before, and it was a pity when he heard it, and he was not much sad, but he had been with King Luo Bin seriously for a long time. King Luo Bin was a rare and loving father, and he said that he loved Luo Shixing. It's not an exaggeration, now that he heard that his whereabouts were unknown, how could Luo Shixing be happy?

I don't know if we can meet again in this life.

Luo Shixing followed Yuan Keshi into the car, but his thoughts had already drifted away.

I don't know if Jiaozhou is strictly guarding criminals like him. If there is a chance, it would be nice to run away. Anyway, there is no ID card these days, and there is no network system. If you need to enter the city, you need it. If you don’t enter the city, you shouldn’t need it.

If given the chance, he would like to find King Luo Bin.

Luo Shixing also knew that this matter was extremely difficult, and if it couldn't be done now, at least he would have to wait until he was a few years older, but with such a thing in mind, he wouldn't feel like he had no foundation like duckweed.

Although he had been sentenced to exile, Yuan Keshi treated Luo Shixing pretty well. He specially found someone to follow Luo Shixing to help him carry his luggage to Jiaozhou before returning.

Luo Shixing was dumbfounded when he saw the luggage that Yuan Keshi packed for him. It looked like the luggage carried by Drifting Monk in Journey to the West. Those who knew it were exiled, but those who didn't know thought he was moving!

He didn't think of this at first, but after thinking about it carefully, even if he was exiled, he couldn't go there empty-handed. If there is nothing there, why should the court prepare it?

I have to say that if no one followed, he really couldn't get through this little luggage.

Before leaving, Yuan Keshi suddenly said: "Do you know that Cheng Wu is standing up for General Cheng?"

Luo Shixing froze for a moment and nodded: "I know."

Of course, his knowledge belongs to his knowledge of historical figures, and this man can be regarded as one of the more powerful generals in the early Tang Dynasty.

Master Yuan Ke nodded slightly: "Cheng Wuting offended the Queen Mother for Pei Yan and his father Luo Binwang, and was sentenced to beheaded. The male members of the family were killed, but the youngest son, Cheng Jingwei, was sentenced to exile because of his young age. It happened to be in Jiaozhou. If you meet him If you are in trouble, you may be able to lend a helping hand.”
