He Xichen [Quick Transmigration]

On the top of the wall, He Xichen put down his flute sadly, and said to Yang Jun who was dressed in navy blue, "Thank you so much this time!"

He didn't expect Zhang Zhi to leave in such a hurry. It was still early in the morning before dawn, and he hurried to see him off before he could get dressed.Halfway to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he dragged Yang Jun up, borrowing a little bit of power in his hand to let him climb the city wall.

Yang Jun's sharp sword eyebrows were furrowed, and he was very majestic when he was not speaking.He has become much more mature and stable, and he is no longer the temperament of cursing and beating others when he was young.

"You will offend many people by doing this." The first one to offend is the current Holy Majesty.

"What does it have to do with me?" He Xichen's answer was very playful.

"Is it okay to make it difficult for General Li?" Yang Jun asked.

He Xichen glanced at him: "My father always loves me."

Still the same, very confident.Yang Jun remembered that when he was in the Imperial College, this guy looked gentle and quiet, but he always made trouble with them, because they were reluctant to punish him because of the instructions.By the way, the only time I was punished by Xu Jijiu to kneel down in the three provinces together with them, and I was so hungry that I stole the steamed buns offered to Confucius.

Five years ago, the attendant of the Shangshu Mansion proposed to withdraw from the marriage. He was more happy than angry—but after leaving the Imperial College, he rarely saw He Xichen. Heard a lot of gossip about him.What Song Mingyue, what Mr. A Fei, every time he heard it, he was furious.

"No next time." I don't know which aspect I'm referring to.

"Yes—" He Xichen dragged his voice, flicked his sleeves, and gave a playful salute, "Xiaosheng thanked Mr. Yang."

Yang Jun couldn't help curling his mouth, but seeing He Xichen suddenly smiled at him, he turned his eyes away in embarrassment.

He knew that he was no match for He Xichen, but he didn't expect to be defeated so easily by his smile.

"I've never seen you listen to me like this before." Yang Jun said coldly.

"It doesn't seem like I'm cheap to always listen to you?" He Xichen walked down the city wall with his hands in his sleeves, and Lin Chenzhou greeted him with a carriage.

"Let's go, treat you to dinner, soy milk fritters, steamed buns, you can choose."

Yang Jun shook his head slowly: "Depending on the weather, I have to go on duty."

"Then I'll treat you to dinner another day and go to Luan Lingxiang! Don't you like Ah Fei? I know him well."

Yang Jun's face darkened in an instant: "No need." He stepped on the horseback neatly and looked down at He Xichen, "I will get back what you owe me." After finishing speaking, he took a step forward on the horse, his back was cool and handsome.

The sound of horseshoes trampling away, Lin Chenzhou asked, "Master, shall we go home?"

"Go home, I'm still sleepy." He Xichen said weakly while supporting his head.

"Yes." Lin Chenzhou waved his whip.

***

Luxurious and corrupt, luxurious and luxurious.

The mellowest wine, the reddest rouge, the softest slim waist, the most captivating Kabuki and the unique fairy in Chang'an City.It is possible to run into Li Xian'er by chance alone. Every day, countless people rush into Luanlingxiang one after another.

Ah Fei leaned against the window in a daze for a while, then gently removed the thin veil by the window, turned around and asked, "How long are you going to play with Chouer?"

Lying on the couch, He Xichen and Black Cat Chou'er looked at him together, tilting their heads with doubts on their faces.

"Hey, keep playing." Ah Fei conceded defeat, and took out a storybook from the bookshelf to read.

"Huh? Is Chou'er fat?" He Xichen took the black cat's back and weighed it, "It's weighed a lot."

Ah Fei put down the book: "It is indeed more fleshy than when I picked it up."

"You have good food here."

Chou'er was discovered by He Xichen on a rainy night.Huddled in the corner, uttering a weak cry, mixed with the darkness, He Xichen happened to be drinking in the attic of Leyou at that time, when he heard the sound, he jumped over the window and made the musicians scream in fright.

"It turned out to be a little raccoon slave." He didn't think it was dirty, and directly stuffed the black cat into his arms.

"Is Mr. Li okay? Come up quickly!" the musician shouted.

This time, He Xichen followed the rules and walked up the stairs. At the corner, he grabbed a person and asked, "Do you have a cat?"

"...Let me have a look." Ah Fei, who was somehow held back, said calmly.

He Xichen carefully took out the black cat from his arms—sparse hair, blind in one eye, lying in his hands with its belly heaving up and down.

"It's a bit ugly." He Xichen said, "It needs to be healed first."

"Give it to me." Ah Fei took out a handkerchief and took the ugly cat.

"What's your name? If I'm free, I'll take a look, okay?" He Xichen said.If someone said this, nine times out of ten they thought of a bad trick to hook him up, but this is the most handsome boy in Chang'an City, so if he said he wanted to come and see, he just wanted to.

Ah Fei raised her eyes to look at the wet boy in front of her, and hugged the black cat into her arms.

"My name is A Fei."

Ah Fei is not the prettiest person in Luan Lingxiang, of course, no one dares to say good-looking in front of He Xichen, but he is the quietest one.It's very comfortable to stay with Ah Fei. When He Xichen is stroking the cat, he will be dazed or reading a book, and he will never disturb him without understanding.

Others think that He Xichen is here to have fun with him and stay away at night, but they don't know that every time this person only spends time with cats, even if he sleeps with him, his hands and feet are very regular, and he just chats with him about gentlemen and villains. , talk about Fengyue, and also talk about the secular world.

"It's late at night." He Xichen suddenly looked up at the crescent moon in the sky like a sickle.

"You want to go?" Ah Fei asked, a little puzzled.Every time He Xichen came to him, he didn't leave until the next morning.

"Well, someone is waiting for me." He pointed out the window.

Ah Fei looked down, and saw that His Excellency Le You had been mooring a small boat, with only one window open on the left and right sides, so he couldn't see who was in the boat, only the faint sound of the piano could be heard.

""A Good Night Introduction"? Is "A Good Night Introduction" waiting for you?"

"Of course not, but I smelled the owner of the boat warming the wine." He Xichen took a sniff, "The "Jiuyunchun Wine" is not waiting for me, it is waiting for me, let me ask for a glass. "

Lin Chenzhou had been guarding the door the whole time, and was not surprised to see He Xichen coming out, and followed behind him step by step.When He Xichen came to the boat on the river, before He Xichen explained his purpose, the owner of the boat seemed to have expected it: "Come in, Mr. Li."

He Xichen raised his eyebrows, he was really waiting for me.

"It's annoying."

The two stepped into the boat, He Xichen got into the cabin, Lin Shenzhou waited outside, the remaining two boatmen spread the bamboo poles, drove the boat to the middle of the river, and let it drift.

A jug of wine was burning on a small clay stove, and the river wind blew in from the only open fan. The water vapor and wine smell mixed, refreshing and intoxicating.

"Oh, so it's Brother Qixian!" He Xichen put on a look of surprise, while sitting cross-legged across from him.

Liu Qi put Qin behind him and smiled gently: "Please don't blame Mr. Li."

"What's the fault? It's your fault for inviting me to drink?" He Xichen asked back.

Liu Qi smiled wryly: "Mr. Li, stop mocking me."

"Could it be that you only talked about Fengyue when you came to me?" He Xichen tapped the flagon with his fan, "Aren't you talking about state affairs?"

Liu Qi didn't deliberately hide his identity. He Xichen knew his identity after meeting him many times on some occasions.The sixth son of the current emperor, His Royal Highness, □□, has been favored by the emperor recently.

The cabin was filled with the smell of alcohol, obviously the heat had come.Liu Qi picked up the jug with iron tongs and poured a glass for He Xichen and himself.

"Please."

"Your Highness's wine is too hot, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it."

He Xichen's right hand was placed on the table, an arm's length away from the wine glass, his fingers were slender, warm and moist like jade, glowing strangely under the lamp.

Liu Qi suddenly found that the tip of his slightly folded index finger was stained with a layer of carmine, as if he had used his index finger to pick up a little powder in a rouge box and applied it on someone's lips.

Probably A Fei from Leyou Pavilion.

Liu Qi lowered his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "How does Mr. Li view "life and death", "good and evil"? "

He Xichen revealed a slightly puzzled look, and continued, "It turns out that His Highness didn't come to me for Fengyue, nor for state affairs, but for this kind of..." He frowned, as if looking for the right words, "For this kind of A sage has the mind to think about it."

"When I have nothing to do, I dare to think about it."

"Oh, I'm just a high-yang drinker, and I don't understand these great principles." The fan swished open, hiding in front of He Xichen's face, revealing only a pair of narrow eyes with a smile, "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism expound on life. See wisdom, His Highness reads the book by himself, why bother to ask me."

"I've read so many classics, but I still can't get rid of it." Liu Qi smiled wryly.

He Xichen changed into a comfortable position, thinking to get rid of the shit!Those who seek liberation wholeheartedly are often the least able to achieve liberation.

"Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Meng said to obtain righteousness. According to Confucianism, "benevolence" and "righteousness" are above life.Taoist "doing nothing" and "doing nothing" are big pieces that carry me to shape, labor me to live, lose me to old age, and slow me to death. Therefore, those who are good to my life are good to my death.Life and death, day and night, are always the way of life.Buddhists—" Liu Qi paused, "All living beings are suffering, the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance, those who cannot be broken, will suffer forever in the six realms of reincarnation. "

"Don't you understand very well, why are you asking me?" The charcoal fire in the stomach of the small stove was burning red, He Xichen fiddled with the iron bar a few times, raised his eyes and said, "Dead ashes can be rekindled, and the wicked can't do it." Being able to put down the butcher knife, life and death, good and evil have always been entangled."

"Life is life, and death is death. Why can good be evil, and evil be good?" The jade pendant on Liu Qi's waist hit the corner of the table, making a dull sound.

He Xichen blinked, and suddenly wanted to discuss with him the definition of good and evil in different moral systems, but then thought it was too troublesome, so he said: "The fire in the stove can make good wine, and it is good. If it is greedy, jumps out of the stove, hugs trees for glory, and spreads the fire across the entire ship, harming His Highness and me, then it is evil. Naturally, this is based on the good and evil of "us". To our enemies, fire evil becomes good. "

"Fire itself has no distinction between good and evil, "good and evil" is just a subjective idea imposed on it by people.Besides, why life is life and death is death, don't you know a poet wrote such a poem? "He Xichen cleared his throat, and said in a straight voice, "Some people are alive, he is already dead; some people are dead, he is still alive. "

The charcoal fire danced, beeping on the quiet river.

Liu Qi held his breath for a moment, and after a while he said slowly, "Mr. Li... am I dead?"

He Xichen frowned subtly, and slammed the fan on the table, the white jade fan fell in the light and shone warm orange: "Wake up!"

As if a fierce black lightning exploded in his mind, Liu Qi trembled, his breathing was rapid and heavy, his expression was in a trance, and finally he calmed down slowly.

The river below the boat flows majesticly, and sometimes there is the sound of river fish jumping out of the water.The surrounding fields are drooping, and the fire is cold and the lights are thin.

"You're still alive." He Xichen's shadow flickered with the dancing lights, reflected in the cabin, flickering on and off.

Liu Qi let out a long sigh, moved his numb hands slowly, and said with emotion: "Ah...what about life and death, it's just enjoying yourself when you should enjoy yourself, and suffering when you should suffer. I have tasted everything, and I am the one who made the picture."

"It turns out that His Highness is trustworthy."

"What? Master Li doesn't believe it?"

He Xichen said with a smile: "Believe it! Why don't you believe it? If you don't do it, you will do it, God;

He suddenly threw the fan aside, leaned forward slightly, with a bright smile on his face.Liu Qi couldn't help being stunned, and then he lowered his brows and eyes calmly, avoiding that too scorching face.

"The sage once said that the fate of man cannot be said until the end of human affairs! How can a person live in this world to follow the will of the "fate" in everything?Hmph, if it makes me unhappy, it's God's will, and I won't accept it! "

"Just dissatisfied?"

"Hey, that bastard doesn't know how to beat him, so he has no choice but to refuse." He Xichen was quite depressed and embarrassed.

Liu Qi moved his fingers slightly, and persuaded softly: "Mr. Li, just let me hear such treasonous things, but don't tell others." Then he smiled, "...Mr. Li is really a weirdo."

He Xichen pondered for a moment, recalled the friends and enemies he had made in the past, and said, "I can't be counted as such. Your Highness has never seen a stranger." But he never thought that he would be able to make friends with those eccentric people. He himself is enough. Strange!

"Hey, why are we talking about this? We'll talk about it before and after death, and we'll talk about it when we're dying!" He Xichen was a little tired, thinking that after following his words for so much nonsense, the sixth prince still didn't let go, and he was really patient.

"These are just my own fallacies. Your Highness just listen to it. Saints often say, don't force it. Don't ask which saint it is, I don't know."

Liu Qi's clear Danfeng eyes looked at each other: "Saints don't force, but ordinary people just like to force. The poor ask for money, the rich ask for power, and the rich and powerful ask for more money and power. Mr. Li is a free and easy person. , Naturally, I don’t know that we and other worldly people are struggling.”

Oh, finally got to the point!

He Xichen's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "What I want, no one can afford it, and if I can't ask for it, it's natural to be at ease. My father hasn't reached my level yet, but he doesn't ask for much. My safety and the lives of [-] soldiers in northern Xinjiang. Unfortunately, there are always people who will not let him do what he wants."

"General Li has a deep understanding of righteousness, which is really admirable. His Majesty has ordered General Li to go out to conquer Beidi in a few days, and he will surely return to the court with victory, just around the corner."

War needs too much money, military pay, food and grass, but these may empty half of the national treasury.If a peace is negotiated, the annual coins will definitely make the people uneasy. Moreover, the ambition of Beidi wolves cannot be fed with a piece of meat.The start of the war was decided by the emperor after a game between the main war faction and the main peace faction.

Liu Qi looked a little sad: "I just heard that eight years ago, there were corrupt officials who were greedy for the salary of the Mexican army. The food and grass hadn't arrived, so Beidi almost took advantage of it. This time, we must be more careful."

He Xichen's brows twitched heavily, and his expression suddenly became subtle. He cursed silently, then nodded and said, "Anyone who dares to touch the military salary, I will chop off his paw!" The crescent moon in the water outside the window shone brightly, but it was clearer than the black pupils under his eyebrows.

On the surface, Li Jingfeng is careless, but he has a watertight personality. He has been dealing with the court for so many years, and he has not been drained of blood and gnawed his flesh. Except for the help of He Xichen, his own ability should not be underestimated.Everyone underestimated this general who seemed to know how to fight.The two fathers and sons are usually not sharp, but if they get involved in Beijiang, they will bark their sharp teeth and bite people in minutes.

"I didn't know Mr. Li still looked like this." Liu Qi said.

"I didn't know that brother Qixian was so bold."

Those in charge of food, grass and military pay are all the prince's people. If he is found to be a whistleblower, he will die a hundred times.

It seems that this unobtrusive sixth prince also has his own thoughts.

"I...don't force it, I'm always unwilling." Liu Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, "Life and death are life and death, but watching those people push the soldiers guarding the frontier into the fire pit is really uneasy."

"Brother Qixian is benevolent and righteous." He Xichen was sincere on the surface, but scolded his mother in his heart--you have to be grateful for being treated as a knife!

"The word "benevolence and righteousness" should not be used. "Liu Qi pretended to be ashamed.

"To you." He Xichen picked up the wine glass, but Liu Qi grabbed his hand suddenly.

"Hold on."

Liu Qi directly held his hand in his hand, washed off the rouge on his fingertips with the warm wine in the cup, then took out a brocade handkerchief from his bosom to dry his fingers, and then smiled with satisfaction: "This way, it's time to give him a handkerchief." It's clean."

To be honest, He Xichen seldom touched another person's hand like this, and he wanted to withdraw it awkwardly, but was held even tighter.He endured the numbness in his hand, and was relieved when he finally retracted it.

"Brother Qixian is really willing to let go of a cup of spring wine." He Xichen had nothing to say, "One pot of wine is not enough, do you want to go to Leyou Pavilion to have some fun?"

"No, there is wine, lamps, and moon here." Liu Qi pointed to the wine pot and oil lamp on the table, then pointed to the moon in the water, and finally looked at him, "There is Mr. Li, and I will never find it again." To such a place."

He Xichen, who has been pure and ascetic for dozens of lives, couldn't react to being teased at first, but when he came back to his senses, he said with a smile: "It's more serious, let's go back."

Liu Qi nodded and said: "This jug of wine is given to Mr. Li. I am too strong to drink, and I am still in mourning. Just smell it."

Even though He Xichen seldom listened to gossip and rumors, he knew that Liu Qi was unlucky.I have been ignored by Lao Tzu for more than twenty years, and the age of marriage has not been accused of a marriage. When I finally remembered that there is such a son, the result is that his biological father died. Bachelor.

"Then thank you, Brother Qixian." He Xichen didn't show any politeness to him, and returned home with the wine after the boat docked.

It wasn't until He Xichen's carriage disappeared into the depths of the darkness that Liu Qi slowly leaned against the window, staring at the dark water in a daze, and unconsciously plucked the strings with his fingers.

"master."

"Let's go."

When people live in this world, they always have to do certain things to prove their existence...

Things were resolved very quickly.

After He Xichen returned to the General's Mansion, he immediately discussed the news with Li Jingfeng at the Pipaxuan, and finally decided to be on guard, regardless of whether it was true or not.On the second day, all military affairs were thoroughly investigated, and all the parts that might be hindered were beaten up.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.Years of wish finally came true. General Li was able to bend and stretch, and directly approached Yang Dun, who was usually despised, and asked him to pay more attention to the people on the side of the prince.

"Bon voyage." He Xichen instructed.

Li Jingfeng's armor was shining in the sun, and he was riding on a tall horse with a firm expression: "You should be careful when you are in Beijing."

"Why don't I go together?" He Xichen said, "The left and right are also idle, and it would be nice to be an advisor by your side."

Li Jingfeng smiled: "I have fought all my life, but I am not willing to let you go to the battlefield to see the blood. Besides, your father is the general of the country, marching and fighting is as good as drinking and eating meat. You are good!" At home, don't wrong yourself for me, it's time to play, make trouble, and wait for me to come back."

He Xichen thought the same thing, old Li's strategic literacy is top-notch, and he may not be able to help if he goes, so he joked: "I will take Jialuluo to pick you up then." Back then, his behavior of giving up Jialouluo and taking Chunxiang was deeply in his heart.

"Okay! Then it's settled!"

***

In September, under the imperial decree, Li Jingfeng led the army to march.

In October, Beidi suffered a major defeat, with successive victories.

In November, news came back from the front that Li Jingfeng died in battle.
