The next day, early in the morning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The morning glow dyed the sky red, the glow also put on a gorgeous coat, exuding a trace of peace and silence that has never existed, hiding the sky and quietly listening to the sound of the earth waking up, the rising sun sprinkled on the window on the east side of the Wangjiang Tower, the soft light gently touched the window sill, soothed a piece of sleeping scenery, the soft and warm sunlight slowly poked out of the head, opened a bright smile.

Shen Yan gently opened his eyes, looked at the comfortable sunlight overflowing from the windowsill in a daze, lifted the corners of the quilt, and slowly walked to the windowsill with his bare but angular upper body, stretched a big lazy waist, and then gently rubbed his temples that were a little swollen, his head was dizzy, and his legs and feet were a little weak, this was the end of a hangover.

Last night, when Shen Yan and Xia Yuanxu were fighting, neither of them admitted defeat, and they fought for more than an hour, and finally both of them rolled off the table, and they kept shouting that the other party was a bear, and what was even more exaggerated was that Shen Yan's mouth shouted that he was Xiong Da, Xia Yuanxu was Xiong Er, and it was a pair of bear brothers who escaped.

Cheng Keer had been sitting behind the counter quietly watching Shen Yan and Xia Yuanxu fight for wine, and found that both of them were drunk and unconscious, so he asked Chang Wu and Zhang Sheng to send Xia Yuanxu back.

"I always thought that ancient wine had no degree, but I didn't expect that getting drunk would be a terrible headache." Shen Yan's eyes looked into the distance against the soft sunlight, and the scene of fighting with Xia Yuanxu yesterday couldn't help but appear in his mind, and a trace of an inexplicable smile couldn't help flashing at the corner of his mouth, "I don't know how Xia Yuanxu's kid is?" ”

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Diligence.

"Xu Sanyuan, you said that yesterday the old twelve sent people to Wangjiang Tower to win over Shen Yan but Shen Yan refused, and the old eighteen also went to Wangjiang Tower to fight with Shen Yan, and finally the two of them drank and got drunk?" Xia Qi finished playing a set of self-cultivation boxing that he had learned since childhood, stretched out his arm, and asked Xu Sanyuan who was standing not far from the lower head lightly.

"It seems that the old twelve can't sit still and is starting to move." Seeing Xu Sanyuan nodded affirmatively, a hint of sharpness flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, "The support of the Zhao family is inseparable from the back of the twelve, it seems that the Zhao family has also changed its century-old style and plans to be in the limelight, by the way, has the Zhao family made any recent moves?" ”

"The Jinyi School has not collected this information for the time being." Xu Sanyuan bent his body slightly and said softly.

"Jinyi School is rotten to the bone, and it has become a tool for those sons of mine to fight for power and profit, and they are no longer reliable." Xia Qi's eyes couldn't hide a wave of anger, "These sons of mine are not simple, I haven't died yet, they put their hands into the six departments, into the army, into the brocade school, and are impatient to snatch this chair under my buttocks, don't they know that this chair was given to them by me, I don't give it, do they want to grab it by force." ”

"The emperor is angry, take care of the dragon's body." Xu Sanyuan hadn't seen the anger in Xia Qi's eyes for a long time, so he quickly knelt down and said.

"Get up, I didn't say anything about you, and I don't blame you for being incompetent." Xia Qi raised his right hand, and a trace of confusion and anger appeared in his eyes, "I have been working hard all these years, bent on creating a prosperous era of Great Xia, and for this reason, I did not hesitate to fight against the powerful anti-gate lord clan, after more than forty years of bloody wind and rain, I finally saw the dawn of victory, and I never thought that the fortress would rot inside before picking rich fruits." I was very distressed, but more angry, angry that my good sons did not want to help me, but dug into my corner behind my back, and cut off the foundation of Great Xia. ”

"Can't they understand my intentions and my expectations?" A strong sense of disappointment flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, "In order to cultivate them, I have taken great pains to enrich the treasury, in order to let the courtiers have the same heart with me, so that I can have more coins and greater capital to realize my ambitions, I let the eldest be in charge of the household department, the second child is in charge of the official department, and the third child has a good relationship with the military, but how do they repay me, they actually use my good intentions as the capital of their management forces." ”

"The others are not much better, they only know how to get the most benefits, how to manage the power, how to have a good relationship with the courtiers, the clan and the locality, and have never really done a practical thing for me, thinking about this, I really feel cold." Xia Qi's eyes showed a deep disappointment, a look of anger.

"Your Majesty, it's time for the court." Xu Sanyuan didn't know how to pick up the stubble, or he vaguely understood in his heart that this was the emperor pouring out his bitterness in front of him, which completely subverted the emperor's lofty image in his heart.

"Xu Sanyuan, pass on my message, let the old eighteen and Shen Yan see the imperial garden as soon as possible." Xia Qi gently rubbed his slightly swollen temples, as if he wanted to crush all these unpleasant ones.

"Yo, I haven't seen you all night, why have you become so haggard, did you work like an old cow after you went back last night?" Seeing Xia Yuanxu standing at the gate of the palace with a tired expression and a slumped figure, a trace of uneasiness and panic flashed in his eyes, and Shen Yan's bright eyes flashed a trace of surprise, as if he didn't quite understand how Xia Yuanxu, who was a prince, could be so afraid of the palace gate, and couldn't help but quip.

"What are you doing? What a mess. Xia Yuanxu didn't understand the joke from later generations at all, his expression was slightly nervous, and he was a little frightened.

"Hey, I said buddy, what's wrong with you? Could it be that last night's dry legs were all weak? After getting drunk last night, Xia Yuanxu asked Shen Yan not to call himself the prince when there was no one in private, Shen Yan didn't care whether Xia Yuanxu was drinking or not, except for a few palace guards who stood not far away like javelins, there were really no outsiders, looking at Xia Yuanxu with a look that a man understands.

"You, you know all day long." Although Xia Yuanxu has never experienced real work, but which of those fox friends around him is not good at this kind of work, he must be able to understand the meaning expressed in Shen Yan's eyes, and a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes, it seems that he feels sad for making friends carelessly, and it seems that the inexplicable emotion in his heart cannot be dissipated.

"Dude, although I don't know what kind of waves and setbacks you have experienced, but people can't go into battle with baggage, you have to learn to let go and give up, some things can't be obtained if you can't get them, even if you can't get them no matter how much you fight, in this case, why bother to make yourself more miserable, like me, every day is happy, occasionally thinking about what to think, doing the work you love, how comfortable, how easy." Shen Yan stretched out his right hand and gently patted Xia Yuanxu's shoulder, opening up with a low tone with a little low in the living waves and a little witty in the dignified.

"You don't understand." A trace of inexplicability flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and he looked at Shen Yan with a look that you didn't understand and couldn't communicate with you, "What you said is very easy, but I believe that some things fall on you, and you can't let go." ”

"Maybe." Shen Yan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, some of his words were up to the point, and his relationship with Xia Yuanxu had not yet reached that point, so there was no need to consider his position and enlighten him, "Isn't it just to enter the palace to see the driver, as for being so panicked?" ”

"Squeak." As soon as Shen Yan's words fell, there was a burst of simple and solemn voices in his ears, and with a hint of curiosity, I saw a group of officials dressed in dark blue, navy blue, and red walking from the inside to the outside in an orderly manner.

"The emperor decreed, Shen Yan, the eighteenth prince of Xuan and the director of the Criminal Department, saw the royal garden." At the end of the team was a young eunuch dressed in blue, who saw the figures of Shen Yan and the others, and said slowly in a sharp voice.

"What? The eighteenth prince, who has always been unfavored, was summoned by the emperor, is this a precursor to turning the sky upside down? The eunuch's sharp voice reached the ears of these noble ministers, some of them couldn't help frowning, thinking about the emperor's intention with a hint of reverie, and some people thought that they wanted to pass the news to the people behind the scenes as soon as possible, and some people thought that the emperor's summoning of Shen Yan was nothing, after all, Shen Yan's reputation spread all over Jinling City in two days, and the emperor's summons was also reasonable, but Shen Yan was summoned at the same time as the eighteen princes, and there must be a mystery hidden behind this.

A group of noble ministers who belonged to the same camp whispered in groups, and then quickly left, as if they had never appeared, except for a gust of autumn wind.

"Weichen Shen Yan knocked on the emperor." Shen Yan followed the young eunuch to the imperial garden, his two eyes looked around curiously, full of curiosity about every grass and tree here, and suddenly saw a thin figure walking in front of him, quickly knelt down, and said loudly.

"The sons knock on their father, long live their father." Hearing Shen Yan's voice, Xia Yuanxu, who had been restless, hurriedly knelt down and said with a little nervousness.

"Get up." Xia Qi glanced at Shen Yan and Xia Yuanxu without the slightest emotion on his face, waved his hand, and said lightly, "Don't be too restrained, I summoned the two of you to come, just talk casually." ”

"Lie to the ghost, talk casually, don't you take care of everything every day, why are you so idle and looking for me to come over and chat." Hearing the emperor's words, Shen Yan couldn't help but speak, and a trace of disbelief couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Master Shen has something on his mind." The change in Shen Yan's expression did not escape Xia Qi's observation, a pair of sharp eyes glanced at Shen Yan, and asked indifferently.

"Nope." Shen Yan didn't react for a while, and seemed to have forgotten the etiquette, and replied casually, "The emperor has a pair of titanium alloy dog eyes, and the change in his expression has not escaped his observation." ”

"Oh." Xia Qi's eyes obviously showed disbelief, but he didn't show a look of deep research, but said lightly, "You two, one is my son, and the other is my humerus, both of you are the future pillars of Great Xia. ”
