Chapter 143: The Fighting of the Cock in Ying and Ji, The Death of Presbyterian

A big yellow chicken in the field was chasing a black-feathered chicken, and Li Xian shouted: "Stop!"

This is strictly followed the rules of cockfighting. Generally, in three rounds, the first round is a test. If one party fails, the owner or guest can call a pause. In the second round, it is still a test. When it is unfavorable, take a break, feed some water to the chicken, and then comfort it. Of course, it is Li Xian and the fourth brother Li Xulun who are fighting the chickens, so they cannot comfort the chickens themselves, and they have their own chicken slaves to do it. In the third round, the two cockfighting fights will be allowed to fight forever, or until one party completely surrenders.

Cockfighting is a very ancient activity, and it was also very popular in the Tang Dynasty. From Li Yuan, Li Shimin to Li Zhi, everyone loved this activity. Wang Bo wrote that manifesto, and when he encountered steel plates, it was not that Li Zhi controlled his son to prevent them from playing cockfighting, but that it implied the instigation. This was the most unwilling thing for Li Zhi, who was suffering, tolerated the most.

The original prince was sick and in poor health, and he rarely went out. He was not happy about cockfighting and Li Wei was not very happy, so the Eastern Palace disappeared. However, the second Li Xian, the third Li Xian, and the fourth Li Xulun all had special slaves, raising cockfighting, which was also called chicken slaves.

Not only do you need to choose a good chicken, but you are also able to raise and train it. This is also a science.

Seeing that the difference between the two sides was so small, Li Xulun didn't look very good, so he called the chicken slave aside, looked at the third brother who was laughing smugly not far away, and asked in a low voice: "Why is it so bad?"

The chicken slave said mysteriously: "Your Highness King Ji, don't worry, this chicken is very sinister, you just wait and see the show."

As he said that, he brought some water and gave the black chicken a drink. The second round began.

The black chicken was still very scared, just running and dealing with each other. Even Li Xian, who was quite familiar with this, frowned when watching the battle. The fourth chicken slave of the old man is not good, and the chicken he chose is too bad. Li Xian smiled even more proudly, touched Li Xulun's head and said, "I said, "Fourth brother, you are still young, this chicken is not something you can play with."

After resting for a while, I continued to fight for a long time, but the black chicken couldn't fight, but I quickly fled. The yellow chicken gradually lost its fighting spirit. Suddenly, the black chicken turned around and provoked. When the yellow chicken pounced on it, it fled again and again. The yellow chicken gradually exhausted its strength and the black chicken began to fight back, as if there were a chicken change in front and back. The two chickens really fought and fell into a mess.

After a while, the yellow chicken was pecked and hurt in many parts, including the cocks' comb, and they were pecked by the black chicken and began to run away. They couldn't run away, so they lay on the ground and cried.

Li Xulun waved his hand happily and said, "Okay, it's so silly."

Li Xian said angrily: "Sure enough, who raises any chicken? His staff are extremely insidious, and his chicken slaves are also extremely insidious. Even a chicken is very insidious."

"San brother, what did you say? I have explained it to you many times. I have never met Ming Chongyan several times, and there are not twenty words in total. What did he care about me?"

"Then he used to pretend to be a ghost, but you don't know?"

"I really don't know, third brother, you won't say what I instructed me, right? Even if the eldest brother has something to do, it will benefit the second brother, and what does it have to do with me." Li Xulun was anxious. After all, he was still a little younger. Although he had some things at first, he didn't understand them very well and said it without any hesitation.

"What are you fighting for? You can even quarrel!" Li Xian couldn't listen. While saying, he stopped them and said, "Isn't it just one cockfight? I'll give you one person to one tomorrow, which is better than both of you. Also, you should think about how your elder brother got along with us when he was in Xijing. Brothers must learn to be humble. Especially the third brother, how old are you older than your fourth brother, wouldn't you give in?"

"Your Highness Pei is well said," a sound came, and the three of them turned their heads and saw Xu Jingzong coming.

The other ministers were afraid of this minister, and the princes were also afraid of it. Don’t think that you were the prince. How did the former crown prince Li Zhong die? Instead, the three of them said in unison: “I have met Mr. Xu.”

"I dare not. I am just getting better in the past few days. Come and see the few Your Highness. I happened to hear His Highness Prince Pei's remarks just now. He called His Highness the Virtue. It turns out that people are as good as their name, and people are as good as their name," Xu Jingzong praised repeatedly.

Li Xian began to wonder, thought for a while, suddenly his face changed, and he said, "Xu Xianggong has been too rewarded and dare not take it."

So he said something else, and then Xu Jingzong said goodbye.

He also heard some remarks, and it seemed that the elder brother was accusing Xu Jingzong. The envoy Ming Chongyan of the scheming brother was not judged whether it was true or false. But he also had hostility and vigilance towards Xu Jingzong. Seeing the terrified old guy coming in and leaving inexplicably, the three brothers looked at each other in confusion. Li Xian asked in confusion: "Second brother, what did he do here?"

"God knows," Li Xian shrugged: "Third brother, can you guess what Mr. Xu is thinking?"

Li Xian shook his head.

But Li Xian had already guessed something, but he didn't say it, and it was hard to say it.

Xu Jingzong was not anxious either. Some things were too anxious. Just like crops, sow seeds in spring and harvested them only when autumn came. Although Ming Chongyan was demoted from the capital, this seed was sown very vigorously. Some words just now probably sowed the seeds.

When the carriage returned to the mansion, two pretty maids helped him off the carriage. Xu Jingzong would not mention anything else, but this was very similar to Mrs. Rongguo. He was old but he was not old. He seemed to be more energetic as he got older. He had to sleep with his pretty maid almost every night.

He came to the study and said to the maid: "Call the uncle Zhong."

Bo Zhong was the servant who went to Luoyang. He didn't know what his surname was, but he followed Xu Jingzong for a long time and did a lot of things for Xu Jingzong. He was the servant who Xu Jingzong was most reassured and gave him the surname Xu.

The old servant walked in, and Xu Jingzong said again: "I have to worry about you to go there."

"My husband, this is what the servant should do."

"This trip is a bit far away, but there is no hurry. You should just pretend that you are going to travel around the mountains and rivers. After following someone for so many years, it is time to relax."

"I don't dare. I don't know where to go?"

"You go to Dongdu first and hand the letter to Xiao Yun, the second letter to Yun Heshan, and the third letter to Quan Hu, but don't let others know about this trip. After reading the letter, they will go to Shenzhou with you. Then hand the fourth letter to Ming Chongyan."

"My husband, he can no longer help him, and this person is a little unobedient."

"How much he is obedient, so what if he is not obedient? This person should not be underestimated. When one goes away, Bo Yan cannot control himself. It is better to let go and increase his strength and make him feel like a tiger. This time I don't ask him to do things, which is a timely help. When he is developed in the future, it will be enough to support Bo Yan." Xu Jingzong knew very well that his body would not last long, and Ming Chongyan wanted to use it again. Even if he gave him some support, there was still some time. I am afraid that he would not be able to survive the day he would use it again.

The old servant sighed in his heart. He was really unwilling to let the prince go if he died. However, the hatred between the two sides had been settled. Even if the prince was Prince Ren, it was inevitable that the Xu family would fall into trouble after he came to power. My husband could not help him, although it was the beginning of the public. He said, "Hey, I'm just worried that he still can't help him."

"It's okay, I've arranged it for him. There's no hurry. Maybe when there is no need, I'll calmly take the prince down to the position of the prince, and you go."

"Here." The old servant retreated, and Xu Jingzong said again: "Call Su Mingda."

Su Mingda walked in, and Xu Jingzong said, "Is the medicine ready?"

"It's done," Xu Mingda took out a medicine bag from his arms.

"Come with me." As he said that, he took Su Mingda to a wing room. The wing room was a bit shabby, which was the Yu family's room. He originally lived in the main room, but since his affair with his son was discovered by Xu Jingzong, Xu Jingzong was furious and his son was taken to Lingnan. Besides, a concubine was chased to this shabby back room.

"Meet my husband," Yu walked over carefully and bowed, then secretly looked at his face, looked at Su Mingda behind him, and his body trembled twice.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I was soaked in some rain, and I was probably feeling a little uncomfortable."

"Let me come and see," Xu Jingzong finished speaking, and couldn't help but grab her wrist, take a pulse, and said, "I'm not seriously ill, but my body is a little weak. I happened to have just entered the palace and asked the imperial doctor for some tonics. Mingda, bring the medicine."

"yes."

"Have it over for the lady."

"Yes." Su Mingda finished speaking and started to boil the medicine. Her face was very calm. Since that night, the dissatisfied concubine, the master, might have heard his party's conversation, and he had expected today.

Yu's face turned pale and said, "I have taken the medicine, so it's not good to take it anymore."

"You have the final say or someone has the final say."

Yu sighed in his heart. He had never escaped this disaster. He even said with a hint of luck: "My husband, for the sake of my servant serving you for many years, you can let me go. At worst, how about locking me in this room?"

"What are you talking about? Why do you want to lock you up?"

"My husband, you can do it." Yu clasped and hugged Xu Jingzong's thighs and begged for mercy.

Xu Jingzong knew that the concubine had understood the purpose of his business, so he winked at Su Mingda. Su Mingda understood and brought the medicine soup over and said, "The medicine is boiled, please take the medicine."

"I won't drink, I won't drink!" Yu rushed over madly, trying to knock the medicine soup over, but was hugged by Xu Jingzong. Su Mingda came over and pried her mouth open and poured the medicine soup in.

Seeing that the medicine had occurred, Xu Jingzong let go, and Yu said, "Xu Jingzong, you, a guy who is inferior to a beast, will never die well one day."

"Don't worry, there are many people who say this, but someone is still very happy. But for the sake of acquaintance, I will bury you with glory."

The so-called burial of gloriousness may also be true, but the burial is fake, and the money is real. The concubine who has been with him for many years died. If he wants to flatter someone, he naturally has to come to pay his respects. If he pays his respects, he will give gifts. Seeing that, from the prince to the prime ministers, he will still be as safe as Mount Tai. This is status, this is the emperor's favor, and a stronger favor to the subordinate. There will be no few who flatter others.

The love for money is Xu Jingzong's greatest hobby. Although the Xu family will not short of money now, the more it is better.

Yu thought of his tragic death, even if he died, he would be used by him to make money. His anger hit his heart, and his toxicity also hit his heart. He sprayed out a mouthful of blood and died immediately. But his eyes were still unwilling to be open.

Xu Jingzong closed her eyes for her and murmured: "Actually you should have died long ago."

Then he said to Su Mingda: "My wife died of sudden illness, prepare for her funeral."

"Here!"

The rain was still falling, and the death of this controversial concubine spread throughout Chang'an immediately. The reason why it was delayed for so many days was mainly because of the preparation of medicine. The prescription was very clever. At first glance, it didn't seem to be poisoned, but it was like poisoning. Which official was asking for trouble and came to ask?
