Originally, the ministers on both sides of the north and south put pressure on Jiang You to return to Beijing, but unfortunately the sky did not follow people's wishes, it rained heavily in the south, the river swelled, and the waterway was difficult.

and the short-sighted man who continued to advise and ask the emperor to return to Beijing, Jiang You directly pointed at his nose and scolded: "You forced me to go back in this bad weather, what are you thinking about?!" Don't you want to kill the king and rebel! Then he was thrown out.

There are also people who are whimsical, thinking that since the river can't be walked, then they ask the emperor to take the dry road back to Beijing. Jiang You didn't even bother to scold this time, the road from south to north was not smooth, if he encountered the earth dragon and turned over like the father and son of Zhenguo Gong last time, who could take responsibility?

Jiang You's return to Beijing was delayed, and no one knew when the rain would stop and when the river would be dredged, so the delay was more than two months.

She also knows that it is not possible to accomplish these two major things overnight, especially in the shackled capital. In fact, before Xiaozong, although the East Factory was powerful, it was not big enough to threaten the emperor, but at the beginning, Xiaozong was superstitious about the fairy way, and he was bent on alchemy and cultivation, so he threw the major affairs of the family and the country to Xue Yuan to deal with, and when he wanted to take it back, he found that the disaster had been caused, and he could no longer help him.

Jiang You sorted out the things of the year carefully, and couldn't help but complain a few words about his own son, his daughter-in-law is much more powerful than herself, and she is under a lot of pressure to be the emperor.

Xue Yuan bought a new house in Jinling, the main house stretched out a long dripping eaves, he stood in the verandah to enjoy the rain, the corridor was full of flowers, fragrant, even in the rain did not see the slightest decline.

He reached out to catch the raindrops, and the round and clear water droplets broke into several petals in his hand in an instant, and Chengbei moved the umbrella forward: "Be careful, don't get drenched." ”

He sighed, came back to his senses, wiped his hands with a silk, put his hands in his sleeves, and spoke to Yan Nan, who was standing behind him: "The emperor has stayed in the palace these days, and it seems that he has really done a lot of things. ”

Yan Nan sighed: "In the past two months, the emperor first built the first women's school in the south in the name of the ancestor Tuomeng, and then wanted to establish the West Factory in the name of 'demon chaos'. ”

Xue Yuan sneered: "The ancestor dreamed, and the demons were in chaos, and she could figure it out." She has no power in her hands now, so she can only use these tricks to get things done. The female school is used to cultivate henchmen, and the west factory is used to come and see our east factory, and both hands have found the key point. Look at the good people I brought out. ”

Yan Nan said in a deep voice: "That's over there in the West Factory"

Xue Yuan closed his eyes slightly: "Although she has found the key point, her strength is too light, it doesn't hurt or itch, and the West Factory can't become a big climate, so you don't have to pay attention to it." ”

Yan Nan laughed twice heavily, and his voice was a little cloudy: "No matter how smart Emperor Ren is, I'm afraid I can't imagine that there is only an empty shelf left in the East Factory now."

Xue Yuan glanced at him lightly, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped his mouth, he turned his head and stood with his hands in his hands, his eyebrows lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.

What Yan Nan said is not wrong, not only Jiang You, but I'm afraid that no one can imagine what he has done all these years. Over the years that he has served as the overseer, he has almost cleaned up the family of Dongchang, and built a secret spy team that is only loyal to him, but it is in the name of Dongchang, which is a heinous crime. If Jiang You knew, he wouldn't know how to worry about it.

He has wandered more times in the past few months than the original ten years combined, Yan Nan couldn't help but ask, "Is the overseer worried about the emperor?" ”

Some things can be hidden from others, but they can't hide from these henchmen, Xue Yuan's hand behind his hand tightened, and the Canaan beads he played with were a little faster, but he didn't answer.

Yan Nan can fight and kill, but he is not good at this kind of thing of men and women, so he racked his brains before sighing: "If the emperor has the child of the overseer, he should not be stubborn." Women, don't you teach your husband and children all your life, if you have your child, the Qi Dynasty will be that child in the future, so there is no need to toss and toss the past. ”

Cheng Bei turned his head and glared at him, gave him an elbow to shut up, and the eunuch barely enjoyed some bed fun, let people conceive children, isn't it a fantasy?

Xue Yuan seemed to think of something, hung his head thoughtfully, and suddenly saw a servant coming from the middle of the courtyard in the rain, standing outside the eaves with his waist bent and saying, "Overseer, the king of Linchuan handed over a post and wanted to see you." ”

Xue Yuan stared at the court, and Yan Nan also frowned: "The overseer, the king of Linchuan, has not been honest recently, he is only afraid that he has different intentions." ”

Xue Yuan smiled sneeringly: "It's hard for him to endure it for so many years." He raised his hand: "Let him in." ”

The servant took the order, Han Tianjin walked in in a moment, there was someone holding an umbrella behind him, there was a smile on his pale face, and he bowed his head: "Factory father." ”

Xue Yuan raised his hand to invite him into the house, Han Tianjin stepped in, and smiled at him after sitting down; "Is the factory still satisfied with the congratulatory gift given by the king when he moved out?"

Xue Yuan said lightly: "Naturally satisfied, but our family is more satisfied with the big gift given by the prince when he first went to the dock." ”

He is talking about the pair of brothers and sisters of the Chong family, although he did not kill those two, but he also abolished them, and he has already sent someone to beat the Chong family, and he can't make any waves.

Han Tianjin didn't deny it, but took a sip of tea without hurrying: "It's good if the factory man likes it." He raised his eyes and looked at the rain line outside the house: "Recently, the emperor has changed. Law, dealing with the government, it is very handy to cook, quite the style of the factory back then. ”

Xue Yuan heard his provocative intentions, and played in an official tone without hurrying or slowing: "The emperor is talented and intelligent, and he will be the master of a generation in the future, and our family will never be able to reach it." He suddenly changed his words: "But our family is curious, the emperor secretly went south, and he obviously concealed his identity well, how could he suddenly leak the news?" The prince has been staying in Jinling these days, I don't know if he can answer a question or two for the minister? ”

Han Tianjin furrowed his brows slightly, but did not deny it, but sighed apologetically and said: "It's all this king's, last time I saw 'Zhang Jianjun' in the Hefu Courtyard, I felt that something was wrong at that time, so I wrote to Jingzhong to inquire about the old days, and somehow the news spread, and this king was very sorry when he knew." ”

Xue Yuan sighed and said indifferently: "The prince should know this rule, and it is better to inquire less about the emperor's affairs, otherwise it will not be good to make trouble." ”

Han Tianjin smiled: "Thank you for reminding me." He simply said bluntly: "The factory is dedicated to the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor does not appreciate it, and the king will inevitably die of rabbits and foxes when he sees it. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xue Yuan's expression carefully, and saw that he was not unusual, and it was time to coerce after the temptation, he pressed the floating tea with the lid of the bowl, and said leisurely: "When this king returned to Jiangnan, he unfortunately saw the first time that the homeless bandits were at the beginning, and found that he not only looked the same as the factory father, but after sending someone to investigate, he found that many of his experiences were very similar to yours, I don't know why?" ”

Xue Yuanpi said with a smile: "Since the prince doesn't know, the minister doesn't know." Since Han Tianjin's intention is known, he is too lazy to make a mistake: "Our family still has some mundane things, so we won't leave the prince to eat." ”

Han Tianjin squinted his eyes quietly, and walked away with an umbrella in a good manner, Cheng Bei sleeved his hands and said, "Is he here to win you over?" ”

Xue Yuan said: "He also knows that I am not much better with him, and most of this time I came to test whether I and the emperor are really separated from morality." ”

Cheng Bei still wanted to ask carefully, but he heard another report from outside the court: "Overseer, there is a self-proclaimed Jiang Gongzi who wants to see you." ”

Xue Yuan held a cup of hot tea: "The emperor is actually here, please invite her in." ”

Jiang You was invited into the door, and only then did he go around the shadow wall and see Han Dayjin, he saw Jiang You, his eyes flashed a trace of surprise, and then fell on the person behind her, and he eased his expression and thought: "The minister has seen the emperor." ”

Jiang You didn't expect to see him here, so he paused before saying, "King Linchuan doesn't have to be polite, is there anything wrong with you coming to find the palm print?" ”

Han Tianjin said with a smile: "It's just a few boring gossip, a few days ago, I saw a person who was exactly the same as the factory father, and I thought it was very rare, so I came over to ask." ”

Jiang You was very annoyed by the tone of his words, and frowned impatiently: "I heard that Roufu is pregnant, you have the heart to take care of this, it is better to take care of her at home and raise the baby, who is like the head of the factory, can it be more important than the heir?" ”

Roufu's pregnancy was a completely disgusting accident, Han Tianjin's face was rarely slightly stiff, and she straightened up and slowly retired.

Jiang You was led to continue walking inside, and from afar she saw Xue Yuan drinking tea in the main hall, the green silk swaying, the jade face and red lips, her heart was stuffy, she walked in slowly, and said softly: "Palm print." ”

Xue Yuan smiled lightly and showed alienation: "Why does the emperor have time to come over, isn't he going to take care of court affairs?" He quietly glanced at the person standing behind her, with a pointed face, thin lips, and although he was a man, he had an indescribable bewitching look on his face—it was Qi Yan, the current commander of the West Factory.

Qi Yan is a person who will seize the opportunity, originally it was just a yellow door, these days he has shown his face in front of the emperor in a hurry, and when Jiang You is short of people, he felt that he was a shrewd, so he promoted him to be the commander of the West Factory. I heard that a few days ago, I wanted to climb on the dragon bed to invite me, but unfortunately I was driven out after being debunked by the emperor and scolded a few words.

Jiang You didn't know that he was not comparable to Xue Yuan at all, but there was no one in her hands to use, and no one dared to go against Xue Yuan, so she could only reluctantly promote him.

She listened to his indifferent voice, and her heart became more and more sluggish, and she paused before finding a random conversation: "Originally, the displaced people from the snow disaster last year have been almost settled, but a few days ago, the flood brought another group of displaced people, fortunately, this group of people is not large, I want to ask you how to resettle." ”

Xue Yuan shook the tea bowl and was about to speak, when he heard Qi Yan speak first: "Your Majesty, the minister has a way to try." "He's a southerner, and he deliberately lowered his tone, and there was something greasy in his voice.

Jiang You thought he had no eyesight, but it was not easy to reprimand at this time, so he could only reluctantly nodded: "You say." ”

Qi Yan said: "There are many dignitaries and nobles in Jinling City, and their mansions are often seven into eight in, and a few will be vacated no matter what, why doesn't the emperor order these people to let the vacated mansions be lived in by the homeless?" He glanced at Xue Yuan, with respect on his face, but in fact with malice: "The servant heard that Xue Changgong's house is now only inhabited by the factory father, so it is better to let the factory father vacate some vacant space first, and when the resettlement place is found, it is not too late to let those people move out." ”

Xue Yuan snorted lightly, in the end, he couldn't change his servile temperament, and it was also his virtue to be promoted to admiral.

Although Jiang You wanted to restrain Dongchang, he couldn't see others calculating Xue Yuan, so he glanced at him coldly on the side, and said indifferently: "I heard that you have also set up a house outside Jinling City, since everyone has to contribute, it is better for you to vacate the place for the homeless people to live first." ”

Qi Yan was stunned, he wanted to let the homeless people live in Xue Yuan's mansion, in order to make his face, but he didn't expect that it was himself who was going to be faced, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the house run by the slaves and slaves has not yet been completed, and now I am afraid that it will not be able to live." ”

Jiang You said unhappily: "It turns out that you are generous to others, how can you live in someone else's house, but you can't live in yours?" She waved her hand, as if chasing flies, "You go down first." ”

Qi Yan was stunned, with a look of unwillingness on his face, and glanced at Xue Yuan before walking back.

Xue Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to such jumping clowns, turned around and took a chessboard from the wooden cabinet in the house, and took out the white jade and black jade chess pieces and put them on the desk: "The emperor will accompany his courtiers to play chess for a while." ”

Jiang You glanced at him silently, bent down and sat down opposite him, he removed the clutter on the desk, and said, "The emperor has chosen a smart person." ”

She frowned and looked at him: "I know that he is not as good as you, so I don't need you to remind him." ”

Xue Yuan's thin white fingers swept over the two boxes of chess pieces: "The minister is telling the truth. He smiled: "He knows why the emperor promoted him, and he knows that his position can be more stable when he opposes his ministers, although the emperor will dislike him and dislike him, but he will also trust him more, although he is a villain, he is also a smart person." The emperor didn't choose the wrong person. ”

Jiang You saw him push the sunspot over, and was silent for a long time before saying, "You always let me." She held the chess pieces between her fingers and fell first: "I can't stand you." ”

Xue Yuan smiled: "Why did the emperor say this?" ”

Jiang You stared at the chessboard, his expression was very distressed: "Whether it's a female student or a Xichang, I know that as long as you don't say a word, they won't have a chance to show up at all, you haven't spoken, but you let me." ”

She said slowly; "I know, you spoil me, I am the emperor, if you don't like me one day, I will be nothing."

Her hand was grabbed by him, and the black jade chess piece smashed onto the chessboard with a bang, his movements were a little rough, and she raised her eyes and looked at him a little blankly.

Xue Yuan smiled at her sneeringly: "You think I treat you as a forbidden body, and that's how you think of me?" He swept away the chess pieces on the chessboard, sat her on the desk, and sneered: "Since the emperor thinks so, I'm really sorry for you if the minister doesn't do something to treat the emperor as a forbidden body." ”

Jiang You opened his mouth slightly, frowned and said in annoyance: "I don't blame you, I hate myself for being incompetent!" ”

He took the opportunity to lean down and kiss her, hooking the blue tongue and slowly tasting the taste, she was forced to lean back, and the teacup chess pieces on the desk fell to the ground.

The huge sound came outside, Qi Yan was startled when he heard it, and subconsciously wanted to raise his feet and rush in, but was stopped by Yan Nan and Chengbei Qiqi, Yan Nan smiled gloomily: "The factory supervisor is calmer, it's just that something was accidentally knocked over inside, and when someone will clean it up later, I won't bother the factory supervisor." ”

Qi Yan heard the ridicule when he was called 'Factory Governor', and he was secretly annoyed, but now that he was in someone else's territory, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only look inside anxiously.

Jiang You was kissed by him and his body became weak, as if his soul was sucked out, and he couldn't help but push his shoulder. He ignored her struggles, and eagerly ripped open her neckline and poked in, his slender fingers closed, holding the warmth that Xiao had been thinking about for a long time, and he teased ambiguously in her ear: "The emperor hasn't grown much recently, is it because of the minister's absence?" ”

Jiang You put his hands on his shoulders, a little at a loss, the clothes on his body were faded by him, and she could only shrink back: "You, don't do this, I have something to do with you." ”

She put one hand on her forehead, still a little dazed, why did the two of them talk about things well, why did they hug each other like this?

He paused, forcibly took her hand and leaned down, his tone becoming more and more ambiguous: "Serious business? Is this the business here? He pressed his lips to her cheek and rubbed slowly: "The minister misses the emperor." ”

She hadn't heard his love words for a long time, and when she thought of the purpose of today's visit, she couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing whether to push him away or let him do it, she reached out and wanted to grab him, but halfway through it became a probe to touch his face.

Xue Yuan noticed that her resistance had decreased, and he hugged her more and more forcefully in his arms, but she pursed her lips tightly, her expression became bitter again, her face was buried in his neck, her voice was choked, and she said weakly: "Palm print"

He was stunned and wanted to appease her, when he heard a voice coming in from outside: "Palm print!" The slave has something to see. ”

The man was interrupted at this time, and his anger came more than ever, Jiang You pushed him away as if he had finally come to his senses, and got dressed in a panic.

Xue Yuan strode out, and said hatefully: "What's the matter!" ”

When I went out, I found that Sun Henian, who I hadn't seen for a long time, was standing in the main hall, Chengbei and a few of them were still outside the door, with a few big red patent leather boxes under their feet, he didn't see Jiang You, and said with a smile: "The slave has something to go south, and it just so happens that a few ministers in the capital have prepared local products for me to give to you." ”

Xue Yuan pressed the corner of his forehead: "What is something amazing, it is also worth screaming like you?!" ”

Sun Henian laughed twice, and then looked at Qi Yan outside, only gently opened a crack in the box, and immediately a golden light overflowed, and several boxes turned out to be neatly stacked gold bars, he grinned: "Overseer, you see that this is sincere enough, this"

He guarded against Qi Yan who was standing outside, but he didn't guard against Jiang You who came out of the inner room, and saw her slowly stepping out of the inner room, her face sinking like water: "I don't know which ministers are so hearted?" ”

Xue Yuan glanced at Sun Henian, and then at Jiang You, not only did he not panic, but his face became a little colder: "The emperor is Mingjian, and the ministers don't know." ”

Sun Henian had an extremely embarrassed look on his face, and stood in place with his waist back, not daring to respond.

Jiang You didn't dare to look at Xue Yuan's face, but said slowly: "Dongchang has the position of supervising hundreds of officials, and the palm print is so close to the ministers of the DPRK and China. ”

Xue Yuan snorted, his face full of ridicule: "What does the emperor think?" ”

Jiang You still didn't look at his face, and said softly: "Since the East Factory is unfair, then give up part of the right to supervise to the West Factory, and the two phases of supervision will complement each other to ensure the stability of the dynasty." ”

Xue Yuan looked at her quietly: "What if the minister doesn't let go of power?" ”

Jiang You lowered his eyes: "Then I will convene a court meeting to discuss this matter with the ministers, and ask the ministers to judge this matter." ”

He was a little cold-hearted, what kind of methods and what roads did the people around her not understand, how could he not know? The child brought out single-handedly used the method he carefully taught to deal with him, and I really don't know what to let him say.

Jiang You saw that he didn't reply for a long time, he couldn't stand this silence first, and left a sentence: "I left first, let's think about the palm print." Then he turned and left.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Henian was still there in the room, his body trembled a little, and he knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and said in a trembling voice: "Overseer"

Xue Yuan didn't look at him either: "What benefits did the emperor give you, you helped her deal with me?" ”

Jiang You was not in a hurry to leave after going out, but stood outside the door and waited, and saw Sun Henian staggering out from afar, she said, 'Let's go', Sun Henian was a few steps behind, and his eyes followed her suddenly, as if he couldn't settle down.

Jiang You sighed: "Thanks to you this time" Her face was full of bitterness: "If it weren't for me being useless, why would I be burdened with you." ”

Sun Henian paused for a long time before saying: "Thanks to you for persuading Xiangyin to follow me, otherwise I can only be lonely and miserable in my life. ”

Jiang You stepped on the carriage, the incense seal inside was already waiting, she first saw that Jiang You's whole body was fine, and then opened the curtain to see Sun Henian, and saw that he was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to Jiang You and said: "Your method is too risky, why bother"

Halfway through her speech, she couldn't speak anymore, and saw Jiang You looking at her in a daze, as if she didn't understand what she was talking about, and tears flowed down her eyes in a daze, and the tears were connected in a blink of an eye, and her delicate face was wet.
