It's been more than an hour, and Yan Song, the bad old man, can still hold on, but Yan Shifan is a little restless.

Since Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan, except for the cabinet and a few favored courtiers, courtiers have rarely been seen, and even if Yan Song himself is in attendance, it would be good to stay for half an hour...... Of course, this is also related to Yan Song's advanced age.

"It's really Jane in the emperor's heart." Yan Shifan complained: "That is, he is still young, and he may not be able to enter the Jinshi next year, otherwise he will be Li Mo again!" ”

Yan Song frowned and reprimanded: "Don't you know what this son has done in the past two or three years? How can you despise it? ”

"Yes, yes, it is said that teahouses in the southeast don't talk about "Water Margin Loyalty" anymore." Yan Shifan rolled his eyes, "Zhao Wenhua has a good relationship with him, look back and find time......"

Yan Song nodded slightly and closed his eyes again.

As early as Qian Yuan's first trip to Hangzhou, he became a bookmaker, and now his words are circulating all over Jiangnan, but today, he made a cameo appearance as a storyteller.

"It's a coincidence that no book is written." Emperor Jiajing sighed with emotion: "It is precisely this reason that allowed you to survive." ”

"No wonder, no wonder." Huang Jin sighed: "It just so happened that the guide of the Japanese Kou was injured, and the thief happened to know that you were from the medicine shop, so he didn't kill you." ”

"It's a fluke." Qian Yuan spread his hands and said, "The most important thing is that he doesn't know who I am." ”

"Yes, yes, the previous thieves were wiped out by you in Jiading City, but this one was missed, fortunately he didn't know that you were Qian Yuan." Huang Jindu pinched a cold sweat for Qian Yuan, and he was almost jumping on the edge of the cliff during those days.

"After that, you have been following the Japanese to the Taiping Mansion?" Emperor Jiajing casually took the booklet and looked at it twice, "Outside Nanling County, someone saw you exploring the way for the Japanese Kou. ”

"And alone." Qian Yuan said calmly: "The student said that he would not hide anything from His Majesty. ”

Taking a deep breath, Qian Yuan said softly: "In fact, before that, the students had a chance to escape, and it was in Jing County. ”

"I remember ...... in front of a medicine store"

Qian Yuan's face was a little distorted as he gradually fell into his memories, the harassment of the ruffians and hooligans, the shining knife light that pierced the sky, the people who were so frightened and crowded that they were trampled down, the young woman who was chopped down, the baby who was still ignorant and only knew how to giggle, and the trace of blood on Li Fu's long knife.

The low words slowly sounded in the hall, and the chaotic and unordered narration made the smile on Emperor Jiajing's face gradually converge, and he could see the tears flashing in Qian Yuan's eyes as far as he could see, as well as the ruthlessness behind the sadness.

"You could have easily escaped, but you chose to stay."

"The student knows that there are wolf soldiers and guards chasing behind him, and he should get out and join and turn back, but ......"

"Acts of righteousness and bravery, although stupid, are bloody." Emperor Jiajing sighed: "A few days ago, Zhao Wenhua talked to someone about Qian Zhancai escorting his family to move to Hangzhou, but he returned to Songjiang alone. ”

Qian Yuan was silent for a moment and then looked up, "But the student doesn't regret it." ”

Emperor Jiajing stared at Qian Yuan's eyes, nodded for a long time, and said, "No one is young anymore...... It's nice not to think about it so much. ”

Emperor Jiajing had a kinship, when he first ascended to the throne, he fought against Yang Tinghe, who was in power and the opposition, and he didn't think so much about it at that time...... I just can't swallow that breath.

"After that day, the students explored the way for the Japanese during the day, cooked for the Japanese in the evening, and tentatively increased the dosage of medicine little by little...... "Qian Yuan felt like a dream, "Every late at night, get up and test it...... Until that night in Taiping Mansion. ”

After a moment of silence, Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and said, "If the Japanese invade the southern capital, I will go to the Taimiao Temple to bow down and ask for my guilt."

Speaking of which, I still want to thank you. ”

Qian Yuan panicked and hurriedly bowed down, "It is really a student's duty to get rid of thieves for the country and for Your Majesty." ”

"Get up, get up." Emperor Jiajing shook his head, if that group of pirates really attacked Nanjing, he was afraid that he would have to make an edict.

Closing his eyes and pondering it all in his heart, Emperor Jiajing didn't find any loopholes in Qian Yuan's story, and all aspects were clearly organized and meticulous, so he was relieved.

"Emperor, it's time to pass the meal." Huang Jin reminded in a whisper.

Emperor Jiajing got up and waved his robe, "Give food." ”

Qian Yuan had no choice but to bow to the ground again, and being able to eat with the emperor was a reward for his courtiers...... But Temo Qian Yuan really didn't want such a reward, and Temo was kneeling for the sixth time, and he said it every time, but he didn't say that he didn't need to kneel every time!

A row of eunuchs entered the hall with dishes in both hands, and the long table was soon filled with all kinds of dishes, Qian Yuan looked closely, it should be Jingdezhen's exclusive palace for the palace, tsk, it is a good thing to be on the auction house in the future.

Look at the dishes in the dishes, most of them are meat dishes, although Emperor Jiajing nominally cultivated, but in fact, where can this guy eat green vegetables and tofu, and there are no vegetables in Beijing in winter, even if there are small batches of vegetables grown by big households in the hot springs, the imperial dining room does not dare to report, otherwise the emperor will eat smoothly, and everyone will have to hang himself.

Huang Jin personally took a pair of chopsticks and put them in front of Qian Yuan, he was thinking that the emperor's chef skills should be unique, Huang Jin, who was cold, shouted, "Try the dishes!" ”

The two eunuchs picked up the silver chopsticks and tasted all the dishes, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour without any accidents, Huang Jin said, "Emperor, it's time to eat." ”

Qian Yuan flattened his mouth slightly, the bowl was chicken or muntjac, it was still steaming just now, and now it is estimated that it is completely cold, you must know that this is winter!

Emperor Jiajing looked at Qian Yuan with a smile and said with a smile: "It is said that I have the world and are rich all over the world, but eating hot food is also a luxury." ”

Qian Yuan blinked and said tentatively, "The student has heard a joke. ”

"Let's talk about it, if the winter food is cold, it's good to eat it with jokes."

"Three years ago, the students went to Nanjing Township to take the test, and on the way they were seriously ill and were sent to the countryside Zhuangzi to recuperate, and an old man who was said to be well-informed said that if the emperor was hungry, he would directly gnaw a bite of ginseng, and another old man said that the emperor used a gold hoe to go down the ground......

Speaking of this, Emperor Jiajing and Huang Jin both laughed, and even the palace maids and eunuchs on the side couldn't help but twist their faces and hide their mouths and snicker.

"Look at you as serious, but so good." Emperor Jiajing pointed at Qian Yuan and scolded a few words, suddenly stunned and got up and rummaged over the table on the side, turned around and smiled: "Three years ago, a serious illness? ”

Emperor Jiajing summoned Qian Yuan, and Lu Bing had already delivered all kinds of Qian Yuan's information to the imperial front, so naturally he would not miss the fight between Qian Yuan and Xu Fan on the street of Suzhou three years ago.

"The student is young Meng Lang." Qian Yuan got up and made a gesture of shame.

Emperor Jiajing sat down and picked up the chopsticks, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Huating and your uncle are not in agreement, and you are not in agreement with Huating's son." ”

Qian Yuan said tentatively: "The returning student apologizes in person......"

"That's your business." Emperor Jiajing waved his chopsticks expressionlessly, "Keep eating, don't go out of the palace hungry." ”

Qian Yuan naturally understood this sentence and went to Xu Fan to apologize...... In the past two years, it is no exaggeration to say that he has offended Xu Jie.

At the earliest, Xu Jie was tempted by his in-law Zhang Jia, and the next day Qian Yuan went straight to Nie Bao, and later Yang Yi served as the governor of Zhejiang with almost no real power, although it was mainly because Hu Zongxian had Zhao Wenhua's support, but the wolf soldiers in Tianzhou did not listen to the dispatch of the governor's yamen, and only listened to the governor is also a big reason.

The Tianzhou wolf soldiers belonged to Hu Zongxian, partly because of Hu Zongxian, and partly because of Qian Yuan...... Xu Jie is also from Huating, how can he not know the close relationship between Qian Yuan and Tianzhou wolf soldiers.

However, Qian Yuan didn't plan to trouble Xu Fan, after all, he had a father who was the second assistant of the cabinet...... But Xu Fan had the urge to come to Qian Yuan for trouble.

Similar to the so-called Beijing Office in later generations, there were similar institutions in this era, and all provinces had guild halls in Beijing, among which Nanzhili did not have provincial-level guild halls, only prefecture-level guild halls, such as Songjiang guild hall.

"Get out, get out!"

"This is the guild hall that supplies the examiners, what are a group of rough embryos doing when they come in!"

Although his temper was not very good, Zhang San also knew that he couldn't cause trouble for the young master now, so he took someone out with him in a reluctant voice, and he didn't spit out Qian Yuan's name.

But as soon as the group walked out of the door, Xu Fan, who was shaking a fan in winter, came to meet him, his eyes lit up and pointed at Zhang San, "This cat is good." ”

Zhang San paused, and the little black meow in his arms meowed twice.
