On this day, the emperor of the next morning dynasty announced that he met Yan Jinxuan in the Wuying Palace.

The early spring sun shone obliquely from the window with a slight warmth, shining on the face of Emperor Zhu Zhi, and Yan Jinxuan realized how quickly Zhu Zhi had aged this year.

When a man's face shows a little vicissitudes, it is very charming, but when it is too vicissitudes, it is inevitable that people feel sad, and now, the expression on Zhu Zhi's face, who is only in his early fifties, is like being in his sixties, which is a little embarrassing.

Yan Jinxuan didn't know what he meant by seeing him alone, so he sat opposite him upright, but didn't take the initiative to speak.

Zhu Zhi slowly served the tea, as if he was considering the next words.

Yan Jinxuan found that his hand serving the tea was a little shaky, as if the cup of tea weighed dozens of catties.

This discovery surprised Yan Jinxuan a little, and vaguely felt that the emperor's recent health was not very healthy. But of course he didn't dare to say anything.

"Yan Aiqing, what do you think about King Jin (the fifth prince) recruiting troops, recruiting dead soldiers, and making a large amount of salt?" Zhu Zhi looked at Yan Jinxuan and asked.

"As the king of a feudal domain, there is nothing to blame for expanding his army and developing industry and commerce in his own fiefdom." Yan Jinxuan replied cautiously.

"But isn't it terrible that I heard that he is also sheltering fugitives from other counties?" Zhu Zhi asked again.

"Even if his motives are questionable, we should not act rashly until he has done anything in action." Yan Jinxuan replied calmly.

Zhu Zhi was not satisfied with his answer, and asked in a deep voice: "Yan Aiqing means to wait and see what happens?" ”

"Yes, even if you want to cure him, you have to have a valid reason first."

"However, I really can't get used to his behavior, and I really want to frustrate his spirit."

"What does the emperor mean?"

"Cut his fiefdom."

Yan Jinxuan hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, by all means, we don't have enough reasons so I'm afraid we can't make him obey, if we force it, it will anger the other vassal kings, and it will be terrible for them to join forces to make trouble together." Second, the Son of Heaven should focus on the common people of the world, rather than personal grievances. So it's not a wise move. Third, as the saying goes, things must be opposed, since his current behavior has shown signs, then we might as well turn a blind eye first. When his tail is revealed, we'll make another move. ”

Zhu Zhi laughed and said: "Yan Aiqing is so calm at a young age, I admire and admire!" Get up and talk. ”

"Emperor Xie!" Yan Jinxuan got up and sat down, and he was already vaguely aware of Zhu Zhi's intention to come to him this time.

"I've never been too comfortable with him, so I'd like to send you to his fiefdom." Zhu Zhi said. He knew that Yan Jinxuan was capable of writing and martial arts and was calm and decisive, so he was the best person to carry out this task.

"Yes. The emperor, but Weichen hopes that the emperor can send someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to accompany him. Yan Jinxuan said.

The Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office is in charge of monitoring, impeachment, and recommendations, so they are more experienced in investigating cases, and being accompanied by such a person can often get twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, among the three divisions, only the people on the side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not Yan Shichong's henchmen, so everyone can work with one heart and one mind.

"Okay, then I will send Liu Chengze, the imperial envoy of the right capital, to go with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Jinxuan hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

Zhu Zhi motioned for him to sit down.

"Then you should set off early the day after tomorrow, it will take about ten days to go back and forth to the fiefdom over there, I hope you will understand the situation of King Jin clearly before coming back, so I will give you a total of fifteen days. Have you seen enough? ”

"Then tentatively set it for fifteen days, and if there are any special circumstances, I will apply to you for an extension."

"Hmm."

Zhu Zhi then gave him another map of King Jin's fiefdom to him, and he took the map and retreated.

After returning to the yamen where he worked, Yan Jinxuan opened the map and studied it carefully.

King Jin ruled over sixty-one cities in the four counties in the northwest, and controlled a number of border passes, so he had a great geographical advantage to rebel. Although Yan Jinxuan went in the name of visiting King Jin this time, King Jin's suspicious personality would definitely take more precautions against his trip, so his personal safety on this trip was not too guaranteed.

But as long as he is careful and flexible, he won't lose his life.

However, it would take some thought to fully grasp King Jin's current behavior in the fiefdom, so he began to think of a feasible method.

Just thinking about it, Liu Chengze, the imperial envoy of the right capital, walked in.

"Lord Yan, this is the first time I've cooperated with you. Hope we have a happy cooperation. Liu Chengze said politely.

"It's going to be pleasant, Lord Liu, come on, let's discuss it together." Yan Jinxuan pulled him over and sat down. The two began to discuss countermeasures.

Before they knew it, the two talked about the westward direction of the sun, but they had reached a consensus, so everyone said goodbye happily and made an appointment to meet in the palace the morning after tomorrow.

When Yan Jinxuan returned to Yan Mansion, Yan Yunpei and Yan Jinhao had already arrived home, and everyone was waiting for him to come back for dinner.

Su Shanyun also appeared in the dining room because she was already in good health.

Seeing that Su Shanyun's face had returned to ruddy. Yan Jinxuan breathed a sigh of relief, because he resisted the urge to come forward and talk to her in full view, but his eyes chased her figure from time to time.

Su Shanyun wanted to find a chance to say goodbye to him, so her eyes always looked in his direction.

Yan Yunpei and Mrs. Lu watched their every move, and their feelings were very complicated.

After the meal, the Yan family's father and son went to Hemingxuan.

Su Shanyun knew that this meant that they had something important to discuss, so she went back to the room first and quietly instructed Mama Song: "Tell me when the second master comes out of Hemingxuan." ”

She didn't care, even under so many surveillance, she had to say goodbye to him in person.

Anyway, it's just a goodbye, and it's not out of the ordinary, she believes that Master Yan is not so strict that he even has to stop this.

However, she waited for nearly an hour and didn't see the three of them come out of Heming Xuan, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong—could it be that something happened in the palace?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and suddenly she didn't even feel sleepy, so she sat on the kang by the window and waited.

After a long while, Mama Song trotted in and said, "Miss, they came out." ”

Su Shanyun immediately walked along the path on the west side of the courtyard with Mama Song towards Yan Jinxuan's bedroom.

Yan Jinxuan also happened to be walking from the hand-copying verandah, so he saw her from a distance.

He immediately motioned for her to follow him to the side of the verandah.

She hurried along.

Mama Song saw that there were two maids walking towards here not far away, and said with a smile: "Miss Su wants to say goodbye to the second master, there is nothing else, don't worry." ”

The two maids smiled awkwardly, and they didn't follow or not.

"Otherwise, if they don't come back in a quarter of an hour, we'll go with them, okay?" Mama Song said in a consultative tone.

They looked at each other for a moment, then nodded.

So Mama Song stopped them at this end of the veranda and waited together.

Yan Jinxuan led Su Shanyun through the verandah through the mountain to a rockery in the northernmost corner of the courtyard, and they relaxed because of the shelter of the rockery.

"They didn't chase them." Yan Jinxuan whispered.

"Mmmm, I guess Mama Song stopped them." Su Shanyun said.

Yan Jinxuan stretched out his long arm and hugged her whole person into his arms, leaned over her ear and asked, "Are you feeling better?" ”

"Much better." She replied with a blushing face.

"Miss me, don't you?" He asked softly.

"Yes." She nodded.

And so his warm kiss fell on her jade-white forehead and face.

"Second master, I'm going to go back to Su Mansion tomorrow." She was kissed by him and was so hot that she gasped.

"Okay, I guessed it." He said, large hands gently caressing her back.

"So I'm going to say goodbye to you now."

"Well, I have something for you." He said as he pulled out a round box from his pocket.

Su Shanyun gently opened the box, and suddenly her eyes straightened - there were two thumb-sized night pearls inside.

"Ah, it's too precious for me to ask for it." Su Shanyun hurriedly closed the box and handed it to him.

He smiled and put the box into Su Shanyun's pocket, and said softly: "This is what my new trustee bought from the frontier, and it is a gift I specially prepared for you, you should keep it and don't let others know." ”

"But they're too valuable, they must have cost a lot of silver, right?" She said distressedly.

"You don't have to worry about the price of what you're giving you." He said softly.

"Okay, then I'll keep it for life!" She said, resting her head on his chest.

"My mother has something to give you tomorrow, she told me yesterday, saying that she wants to thank you for your help in the past few days."

"I'm just doing it with my hands, where do I need that?" Su Shanyun was embarrassed.

"Since she has this heart, you can accept it, otherwise she will be unhappy." He smiled and leaned down to kiss her again.

From the sideburns, forehead, cheeks, chin to neck, gentle and lingering, after a while, she felt hot and numb, and couldn't help but kiss him gently.

Suddenly, the two hugged each other tightly, tightly. (To be continued.) )
