Now the officials who are far away in the capital know that Jiang You and Xue Yuan, the two former closest monarchs and ministers, are estranged, but the emperor wants to take power from Xue Changgong, and the factory prince actually gave it happily, which makes the ministers wonder, thinking of the ambiguous rumors that came out of the emperor and the factory in Beijing, I can't help but sigh in my heart, no matter how talented a person is, he can't escape a love word.

Under the eaves of the side hall of the palace, two small yellow doors were chatting with their sleeves, and one of them was holding a broom and said: "It is said that the Holy Lord and the Overseer have fallen out, is this true or false?" After he finished speaking, he sighed and shook his head, "It must be fake, either I extinguished my own prestige, and the saint fought with the overseer, or I added a west factory, and it was far away." ”

The other looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Then again, the overseer is willing to give power to the one in the West Factory?" "It stands to reason that the Admiral of the West Factory should also be called the factory duke, but in the hearts of most people in the palace, there is only Xue Yuan as the real factory duke.

Take the broom and say: "This can still be fake, if the overseer makes a move, the next ten in the West Factory are not his old man's opponents, but who let this matter be opened by the emperor, the overseer to the emperor" He laughed twice, rubbing his two thumbs against each other, and suddenly sighed again: "I heard that the overseer was sick a few days ago, I don't know if it's because of this." ”

The other said in a low voice: "I see that a person like the overseer is so amorous and delicate, even if he doesn't look down on that bit of power, but he is afraid that he is panicked when he is calculated by the emperor, what does it say in the book?" A piece of infatuation is in the water."

The person with the broom said with a smile: "Speaking of this, I remembered that a few days ago, the one in the West Factory also wanted to look at our emperor, but unfortunately he was reprimanded and punished to kneel under the eaves for half an hour." ”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a sharp lash: "Bastard thing! You guys are talking about the emperor behind your back, don't you die?! ”

The two of them turned around in fright, and saw the newly appointed Xichang Governor Qi Yan standing behind, followed by a few smiling minions, wearing gold-painted silver robes, so angry that their fingertips trembled. It's not for nothing that he is so angry, he feels that his position is unstable, so he tries his best to tie around the emperor, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded several times, and his face was lost. The eunuch had the smallest eyes, and he didn't dare to be angry with the emperor, so he didn't allow others to mention it.

When the two saw the main master coming, they trembled with fright, hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and slapped themselves a few times: "The slave's mouth is not pumped, you don't remember the villain, spare the slave's life." Although Qi Yan is nothing in the eyes of the big shots, it is enough to decide their life and death.

Qi Yan's face was full of gloom, and he raised his hand and said, "Drag these two people out and kill them with a cane!" ”

The two of them trembled with fright, and saw a person come out of the corridor and shouted, "Stop! "The tone is not high, but it has begun to take on a calm state.

Jiang You walked out slowly, I don't know how much I listened to the words of the two, Qi Yan hurriedly saluted, and preemptively complained: "Your Majesty, these two people criticize you behind your back, and the servants are about to punish them." ”

Jiang You didn't seem to hear it, and looked straight at the two kneeling on the ground: "What did you say?" Palm print sick? How is the illness, strict zhòng? Can you get a doctor? ”

The two looked at each other, knelt on the ground and whispered, "If you go back to the emperor, this slave doesn't know." ”

Qi Yan hurriedly took the lead in front of the two: "These two dogs who killed a thousand knives only chewed the root of their tongues, the emperor must not take it seriously." ”

Jiang You still ignored him, looked at the ground in a daze, and said to himself, "I haven't seen him for a few days."

Qi Yan was anxious, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty? He bowed down and said, "You have already made it clear that you want to rein in your power, so if you rush over like this, won't you let the ministers look down on you?" After he finished speaking, he shouted, "Don't you kill these two people soon!" ”

Jiang You looked at him quietly, until he felt furious in his heart, and then slowly spoke: "Qi Yan, I told you, you should be more open-minded and wide-minded, don't keep staring at a little thing and shouting at five or six." Look at the light? Do you think all the ministers are you? She waved her hand: "I'm not in a good mood, don't bother me, and these two people" She pondered for a moment: "If I come back, these two people are not good, you don't want to be the commander of the West Factory, go back and continue to sweep the floor." ”

Qi Yan didn't dare to speak anymore, and hurriedly bowed down to see her off, and after she left, he glared at the two of them fiercely, but he didn't dare to really do anything.

Jiang You went out of the palace, and went straight to where Xue Yuan lived, she stood at the door for a long time, and then slowly raised her hand to knock on the door, but she didn't expect her hand to be raised halfway, and the door was opened from the inside, Cheng Bei saw her, knelt down in surprise and saluted: "Your Majesty?" ”

Jiang Youen sighed and raised his hand to signal him to get up: "I heard that the palm print is sick?" Is it a big deal? As she spoke, she wanted to walk inside, "I'll go in and see him." ”

Cheng Bei hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, the overseer is not sick, he has not returned from going out now, and you can't see the overseer even if you go in, so let's go back first." ”

Jiang You thought for a while: "It's okay, then I will go in and wait for him." ”

Cheng Bei continued: "Your Majesty, the overseer has something to go out, I don't know when I will be able to come back, you still have political affairs to deal with, and the servants will not keep you." ”

Jiang You suddenly paused, turned his head sideways and asked, "He doesn't want to see me?" ”

The expression on Cheng Bei's face froze, and he knelt down in embarrassment and said, "Please don't embarrass the minions." ”

Jiang You was silent for a long time, his expression couldn't tell whether he was sad or depressed, just when Chengbei thought she was going to cry, he heard her oh, turned around and got into the carriage.

Cheng Bei went back to report the news with a bitter face, and saw Xue Yuan standing outside the corridor teasing the thrush he had just bought, not looking sick at all, he smiled bitterly: "Overseer, the emperor is gone." ”

Xue Yuan took the hand of the fine grass for a moment, and then hummed: "Really?" ”

Cheng Bei couldn't see his joy and anger, so he could only sigh and say carefully: "Governor, are you going to hang the emperor all the time?" After he finished speaking, he shook his head: "When the emperor left, the dejected appearance of the minions, they couldn't bear to see it, it's really hey." ”

Xue Yuan's thin white hand paused again, this time he paused for longer than before, and only after a while did he say: "Seek benevolence and get benevolence, she did it, and she should know what the result is." After he finished speaking, he shook his head again: "It's not time yet." ”

Jiang You went to Xue Yuan's Mansion to visit the sick and was turned away, I don't know what happened, and the news leaked again, and now everyone is sure that the two monarchs and ministers have indeed deviated from morality, and for a while, a few families are happy and a few are sad, but many civil officials are happy, and the emperor is finally going to be a good minister and a villain.

Jiang You tossed and turned all night in the palace, and every day he had to boil incense and soothe soup to sleep. It was still a sleepless night, she listened to the cicadas and frogs chirping outside for a while, and the sound of footsteps came from far to near, she was so startled that she hurriedly turned over, and after seeing the person who came, she lost her voice and said: "Palm print?!" ”

Xue Yuan looked at her suddenly relaxed expression condescendingly, raised his lips and said, "Isn't the emperor afraid that the ministers are here to harm you?" ”

Jiang You shook his head firmly: "You won't hurt me." ”

Xue Yuan's face was slightly pale, but his eyes were still faint: "The minister never wanted to harm the emperor, but the emperor wanted to harm the minister." ”

Jiang Youtan held his hand in his hand, afraid that he would run away, and clenched it tightly: "I never wanted to harm you!" ”

Xue Yuan said indifferently: "Really? He tilted his head, raised his hand and touched her face, and sneered: "The emperor is not a good person brought out by the minister, and he has learned the minister's methods thoroughly, if you are a student of the minister, the minister should really praise you a few words." ”

Jiang You slowly let go of his hand, and his long eyelashes drooped: "I didn't think about targeting you, but the Dongchang Yamen has been suffering for a long time, and you must know that many traitors rely on the reputation of the Dongchang to be so domineering, and the way to govern lies in balance, you and I will pay it back when we are in the court, if we continue to make trouble in the Dongchang in the future, we won't see anything in ten or twenty years, and if it is a hundred years later, the Qi Dynasty will have to be tossed and scattered." ”

Xue Yuan was slightly surprised, he didn't expect her to have such a long-term vision, and he also knew these truths, but he couldn't do anything to destroy the city wall. He sighed, and sat down on the edge of her bed: "I'll talk about it later, if the emperor doesn't think about the present, I'm afraid there will be no future." ”

Jiang You raised his eyes and looked at him a little confused.

Xue Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and held her in his arms: "I'm not sick, it's just that this time I entered the palace without telling everyone, and the two little yellow doors that said I was sick last time were also arranged by me." His voice was condensed: "Han Rijin has long had evil intentions towards your country, and these days, while you and I are fighting for power, the Han family has also changed frequently." ”

Jiang You obediently leaned into his arms, and now he was big. At the moment of trouble, the mustard of the two of them is not so important, and she was stunned after hearing it: "Why do you want to do this? After speaking, he sighed: "The Han family has been loyal to the Qi Dynasty for several generations, although they have heavy troops, but they have never had two hearts, but they didn't expect that there would be a minister like Han Dayjin, and the reputation of several generations is afraid that it will be ruined, and I don't know what he is for." She sighed and perked up her spirits: "If he wants to come, come here, will I be afraid of him?" ”

Xue Yuan poured a basin of cold water unhurriedly: "If the Han family does not move, why should the emperor deal with a dignified vassal king, and not be afraid that other vassal kings will rise up to plot rebellion?" If there is an abnormality in the Han family, how many soldiers and horses can the emperor have in his hands to fight? ”

Jiang You frowned: "Then according to your meaning, I will let him toss like this?" ”

Xue Yuan pressed one hand on her shoulder, feeling that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and she could feel the butterfly bone through her bedclothes, and she didn't feel a little distressed, so she shook her head and said, "How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?" He narrowed his eyes: "My arrangement these days is just to lure the snake out of the hole and invite you into the urn." ”

Jiang You's eyes were sour: "I treat you like that, you still think about me everywhere"

Xue Yuan smiled slightly: "I promised you to protect your country." ”

Jiang You held his hand and corrected him seriously: "It's our country." She held his hand tighter: "You believe me, I will definitely have a way to deal with our affairs." ”
