"In the past, when we had a good relationship, we would fight before we could say two words, and after the fight, we would lie on the ground and laugh happily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Now we sit face to face, arguing for the best interests of our sovereign, and our hearts are no longer in one place, and no matter how much we say, we cannot go back. ”

When Jing Min walked out of the East Palace, Chu Shenxia's words kept coming to his mind, he was right, he couldn't go back.

After turning a corner, Jing Yan took two more steps forward, only to realize that Li Fu was standing not far away, he stood with his hands in his hands, his back to himself, and turned around when he heard the footsteps.

"Why are you here?" Jing Yanqi said.

Li Fu waited for him to take two steps closer to him before replying, "I'm here to remind you that the Zhu family should not interfere beforehand. ”

Seeing Jing Yan's lips move, Li Fu grabbed the words again: "Don't ask why, just do it." ”

"Got it......" Jing Min lowered his eyes and said softly.

Li Fu saw that his voice was weak and his face was pale, and asked, "Why is your face so tea?" Haven't you practiced lately? ”

Looking at the ground for a moment, Jing Min raised his head quietly and said: "It may be that Yongming's health has not been good these days, which has affected me, I will go to see her tomorrow, and I haven't seen her for some days." ”

Li Fu nodded and advised: "Well, if the medicine is not enough, you have to come back quickly to get it, and the practice can't be delayed, you know?" ”

"I know, I know, I'm not a child, I know these things." Jing Min was a little impatient, and Li Fu didn't mean to continue chattering, and walked away with a slight bow.

Zhou Lang saw that the emperor was silent for nearly half an hour, so he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, although this Ji clan was expelled from Jincheng at the beginning, it didn't say that they couldn't settle in Jiankang. But now that His Majesty has moved the capital to Jiankang, it stands to reason that the Ji family should be restrained, how can it appear in Jiankang with a swagger? ”

The emperor naturally understood what he meant, but Liu Yan's words a few days ago gave him a big blow, and he also thought about it. If King Qin and the Empress were wronged, then he ......

"Let's put this matter aside for a moment, I heard that there seems to be movement over there in the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

When Zhou Lang saw that the emperor diverted the topic, he knew that his heart was already a little shaken. But at this time, it is not appropriate to force it, so I have to follow the topic: "The minister has not heard of it, the minister only knows that some people just like to be alarmist." ”

"I don't think it's alarmist, after so long, it's time for the Northern Wei Dynasty to take action. Do you guess he attacked the Southern Song Dynasty first or the Liang State? The Emperor narrowed his eyes, looking very interested.

Zhou Lang thought for a moment and replied: "It must be Liang Guo, Liang Guoguo is small and weak, and the Northern Wei Dynasty should be the first to pick soft bones." ”

"Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing, otherwise how can I say that you can only be a civil official, not a military attaché?" The emperor was amused by his serious appearance, took a sip of tea and continued, "You better supervise the government for me, and that's all for today." I'm tired too. ”

Zhou Lang naturally understood in his heart that he was not good at military affairs, so he mentioned the matter of the Ji family, and after not wanting to be ignored by the emperor, he also fell into ridicule, but he didn't take it to heart, and answered yes in a low voice, and bowed out.

Before he could withdraw, Gonggong Chen entered the hall, put the two porcelain vases in his hand on the table, and met the emperor's slightly curious gaze. explained: "Your Majesty, this is a plum wine sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, saying that it was made by the Crown Princess herself, and the Emperor is invited to taste it." ”

"The crown princess brewed it herself? The crown princess has this leisure and elegance. I will not give birth to a grandson. The emperor muttered, but his hand involuntarily took the porcelain vase and looked left and right.

Gonggong Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help him open the lid, poured some on the clean teacup and handed it to him, the emperor took a sip lightly, frowned and then slowly loosened it, and put down the teacup. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I haven't been to the East Palace for a long time, you go and prepare the carriage immediately, and I will go and see what he is doing every day." ”

"Yes."

When the guards of the East Palace saw the emperor coming, they were all unexpectedly panicked, and wanted to go in to pass the word, but they were stopped by the emperor, and they slowly arrived at the middle hall.

Seeing that the nave was very quiet, the emperor couldn't help but whisper to the two guards, "Is the prince inside?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Chu are inside."

"Mr. Chu?" The emperor frowned, it seemed that he was a little unaccustomed to the word Mr. on Chu Shenxia, originally he wanted to sneak in to see Liu Yan's reaction, but now that outsiders are there, he doesn't have that thought, he cleared his throat and said, "You go in and spread the word, and you will say that I am here." ”

The emperor spoke so loudly that he still needed guards to pass it on, and the people in the hall had already rushed out when they heard the movement outside.

Liu Yan looked at the person in front of him in shock, and said in surprise: "Father...... Why is my father here? ”

"Can't I come?" The emperor's gaze crossed Liu Yan and fell on Chu Shenxia's face behind him, and seeing that his calm expression was compared with Liu Yanyi, it was a world of difference.

"Erchen didn't mean that, it's just that the father came too suddenly, and Erchen didn't have time to make some preparations." Liu Yan said, stretched out his hand to help the emperor, and helped him to walk towards the main hall.

Seeing this, Chu Shenxia hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then stepped aside, preparing to leave the palace, when the emperor's eyes rolled and suddenly said, "Who is that, you can stay too." ”

Liu Yan and Chu Shenxia were both taken aback and didn't react, but Gonggong Chen had already glanced at Chu Shenxia and said, "Your Majesty is talking to you." ”

After being reminded by him, Chu Shenxia hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes." ”

Liu Yan was uneasy in his heart, holding the emperor's hand and sweating a lot for a while, the emperor glanced at him with some amusement, but he didn't say anything.

The emperor sat down in front of the couch, looked at Liu Yan, who was so nervous in front of him, that he couldn't help but smile: "Zishun, sit down." ”

Liu Yan responded and was about to sit down, but before his butt touched the felt, he heard the emperor say, "You can sit too." ”

Chu Shenxia couldn't hide the stunned on his face anymore, he sat down inexplicably, and when he looked at Liu Yan, the expression on Liu Yan's face was even more exaggerated, and his mouth was so open that he could almost swallow an egg.

The emperor moved his sitting posture a little uncomfortably, rolled up his sleeves, and finally spoke: "I am getting older, and the time I can spend with you is getting less and less, and I know that many ministers in the court are not sincere to you, and I will not be able to assist you in the future." ”

Chu Shenxia lowered his eyes and looked at his shoes, very surprised that the emperor actually talked about these things in front of him.

Liu Yan couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, and the afterglow couldn't help but float towards Chu Shenxia's face, nervously not knowing what to say, so he could only say nonsense: "Yes, the ministers have their own ideas, and the ministers can't force them." ”

Zishun ...... Last time, my father asked you to find a virtuous saint, have you found it? There is no delay in this matter. The Emperor finally made the point.

Chu Shenxia and Liu Yan exchanged glances, and then understood the emperor's thoughts, he wanted to drive himself out of the East Palace.

Liu Yan tilted his head to look at the emperor, and pretended to be useless: "Father, it is enough for the son to have Chu Shenxia, after all, it is not easy to find talented people in the world." ”

The emperor also glanced at Chu Shenxia, shook his head and said, "Since ancient times, who hasn't been surrounded by strategists?" How can you rely on one person alone? ”

Chu Shenxia's eyes were shocked, and he couldn't believe that these words came from the emperor's mouth, but Liu Yan hadn't reacted yet, and retorted: "Ke Erchen thinks that sometimes there are too many strategists, which is not a good thing, it is easy to find a strategist with many smart ideas, but it is too difficult to find a strategist who has the same ambitions as Erchen." ”

The emperor bowed slightly, did not make a sound, Liu Yan calmed down and thought about it at this time, but felt that the emperor's words had a lot of meaning, stared at the emperor with wide eyes, and said: "Father! You are...... Is that Chu Shenxia able to be my advisor? ”

"When did I say no?" The emperor glanced at him, picked up the teacup on the table and was about to put it in his mouth, when he suddenly stopped his movements and added, "I just advise you to recruit more virtuous people, you rely on one person like this, if he has an accident one day, then what should you do?" ”

Not to mention that Liu Yan had never thought about this, even Chu Shenxia had never thought about this, hearing the emperor say this, he really felt that he had not thought far enough.

The emperor said: "Back then, I also built the Song Kingdom step by step, not that I laid down this country, and gave it a title called the Song State, it is the Song Kingdom." Don't look at me sitting on the throne, it seems that I don't know anything about the intrigue between ministers, I have been in power for so many years, what is not clear about it? Sometimes I just open one eye and close one eye, and when the water is clear, there is no fish, Zishun, you have to keep this in mind, and don't pursue the Qingming and prosperous times too much. Lotus flowers will surely grow in filthy places, and plagues will be infected in spotless places, as long as you grasp everything to a degree, this country will be as stable as Mount Tai, and it will never fall. ”

This is the first time that the emperor has told Liu Yan his opinion, and he has analyzed the reality so bluntly, although Liu Yan can't accept it, but it is remembered by Chu Shenxia.

This may be the reason why the emperor deliberately let Chu Shenxia stay.

Seeing that Liu Yan was silent, the emperor moved his sitting posture again, coughed lightly, and said, "You told me before that you wanted to overturn the case for King Qin, and I ...... Accurate ......"

I don't know if this serious illness made the emperor realize something, what he said today made Liu Yan surprised, and he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you, father." ”

"Alright, sit down." Although the emperor agreed to him, he was not as happy as him, because by allowing Liu Yan to investigate the case, it meant admitting his mistake.

This is not easy for a king, Chu Shenxia thought about it, and couldn't figure out why the emperor suddenly changed so quickly.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, people are dying and their words are good, Chu Shenxia couldn't help but tremble, if this is the case, then Liu Yan's days of relaxed laughter are not long.
