"Lord Xia...", as soon as the carriage stopped at the door of the Xia Mansion, Peng Yue lifted the curtain and saw Xia Yan who was looking at him with a smile there, "Lord Xia came early..."

"No, as soon as you stand here, you're here...", Xia Yan breathed a hot breath, stepped on the pedals, and stepped into the carriage with Peng Yue's outstretched hand, "You came quite early..."

"Congratulations to Lord Xia on returning to the court and respecting the government...", the two entered the carriage, put down the curtain, and Peng Yue bowed to Xia Yan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey... What is there to congratulate...", Xia Yan smiled at Peng Yue and waved his hand, "It's the day I left the dynasty, Guo Xun's case is handled by you, it's really hard for you..."

"Guo Xun is domineering, bringing disaster to the country and the people, it is right to get rid of him, and there is no hard work to talk about...", Peng Yue and Xia Yan tacitly politely said a few words, no one mentioned the matter of Xia Yan secretly instructing Dong Hanchen and others to impeach Guo Xun with military power, after all, the matter has passed, and the ending is quite satisfactory, so there is no need to worry about these details, besides, most of the people who were convicted in this case are not good things, and they have done a lot of bad things.

"You are very smart, you actually hit Zhang Yanling with the idea...", Xia Yan looked at Peng Yue and smiled, "Guo Xun is favored by me, and he is above the ministers." Unintentionally befriending a rebel prisoner, harboring evil intentions, and acting as a housekeeper shop, you can know this end. I obeyed the mandate of heaven and entered the throne of heaven in the order of Lun, Zhang Yanling conspired to be wrong, no one knows, Xun also dares to do it... Tut-tut, you see how angry the emperor is in this will, this point you picked is really just right, haha..."

"This is also the last straw that crushed the camel, in fact, a lot of work has been done before, without those foreshadowing, this move would not have been so successful...", Peng Yue replied with a smile, but in his heart he felt a little strange that Xia Yan memorized Zhu Houxi's holy decree to deal with Guo Xun so well, how many times did he have to read it back and forth.

"Anyway, this matter is hard for you, Gao Shi is too, and Dong Hanchen also has credit...", the carriage was not bumpy, but Xia Yan looked swaying, which made Peng Yue next to him also a little tired...

The carriage was large and richly decorated, with a fluffy velvet carpet, covered with a layer of silk leather cushions, and a curtain of pale blue crepe covering the inner window, adding a bit of hazy mystery.

Peng Yue took out a few pieces of his favorite snacks from the shelf, and at the same time handed them to Xia Yan's mouth, "Hurry up in the morning, I haven't had time to eat yet, do you want two pieces from Lord Xia?" ”

"No need...", Xia Yan shook his head and took out the book from the compartment below, "You are young and sleepy, I am too old to sleep in the morning, so I got up early and had already eaten..."

"Lord Xia should be old and strong...", Peng Yue smiled and put the dim sum in his mouth, "I have all miscellaneous books, Lord Xia may not like to read them..."

"A few days ago, Lord Yan Songyan sent some tea to my house, it tastes good, do you want to taste it?" Peng Yue said as he took down a pot of tea from the grid, "Although it is warm in the stove, it may be a little cold, but it tastes good..."

"Oh? Yan Song sent you something again? Xia Yan took a sip of the teacup full of tea that Peng Yue handed over, "You have been very close to him recently?" ”

"Huh? What's close...", Peng Yue was embarrassed to say that in fact, after solving Guo Xun, his next target was Yan Song, but he couldn't find a good opportunity to start now, "Guo Xun's downfall is now a sure thing, the situation is so clear, he naturally understands what to do..."

"This villain...", Xia Yan put the teacup on the table, "He sent you some tea?" Isn't there anything else indicated? ”

"Uh... I also sent something else, and I came twice, and I was embarrassed to turn it away, after all, I was an official in the same dynasty, and... The power of his old Yan family is not small...", Peng Yue replied a little vaguely, but did not mention that Yan Song once again hinted that he wanted to marry his daughter Yan Mengyun to the Peng Mansion.

In fact, Peng Yue still has a good impression of Yan Mengyun, but Peng Yue's impression of Yan's father and son is too bad, and Yan Song's original intention is to turn this into a political marriage, so Peng Yue naturally politely refused this matter.

"He moved quite fast, but he wasn't active before, and now it's too late to say something...", Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, looking a little tired. It seems that Xia Yan is indeed old, even though he once dominated the political arena, but after all, he can't compete with the years. At this time, Xia Yan leaned on the carriage, his beard and hair were almost white, just like an ordinary drooping old man, this scene couldn't help but arouse a burst of emotion in Peng Yue's heart.

"What Lord Xia said is extreme...", of course, Peng Yue is most concerned about Xia Yan's attitude towards Yan Song now, when he heard that Xia Yan was dissatisfied with Yan Song, he still felt a burst of happiness in his heart, and he happened to have the same hatred as himself, "Lord Xia is now returning to the imperial court, I'm afraid that in a few days, Yan Song will visit Lord Xia again with heavy gifts..."

"Visit me? Hum! Xia Yan pursed his lips disdainfully, "I won't entertain him, when I impeached Guo Xun, I didn't have any strength at all, and I didn't have a two-hearted attitude, just thinking about opportunism... Now you know that you're coming to talk to me? Wait for the closed door! ”

"Lord Xia, don't be angry, you're going to go to the court in a while, you can't bring your temper to the court...", Peng Yue put the teacup back on the grid and smiled and comforted on the side.

"I know, I won't be angry for this kind of villain...", Xia Yan changed his comfortable posture and leaned back, "What I'm worried about now is that Guo Xun's matter hasn't been settled yet..."

"Oh?" , Peng Yue turned his head and looked at Xia Yan with some confusion, "Haven't the three law divisions already convicted?" Guo Xun was sentenced to death, and his family was exiled, isn't this the end? ”

"Zirui, you don't understand this...", Xia Yan's eyes opened slightly, "As long as you haven't been guillotined and your head hasn't been cut off, the matter is not over..."

Xia Yan looked at Peng Yue, whose eyes were becoming more and more confused, and couldn't help but straighten up and smile, "It's not that I'm ruthless, I mean that everything will take a turn for the better." Now the emperor has been withholding the list that approved Guo Xun's death sentence, do you know what the emperor thinks in his heart? Maybe one day the emperor will let Guo Xun make up for his merits and release him from prison, and even if he Guo Xun is escorted to the court, the emperor may change his attention, do you say this is possible? ”

"Oh... Or is Lord Xia thoughtful...", Peng Yue nodded thoughtfully, and agreed with Xia Yan's statement in his heart. In fact, counting up to now, Zhu Houxi has indeed detained the list of people who approved Guo Xun's death sentence for a long time, but he just refuses to draw that "red circle", what is he thinking in his heart? Peng Yue doesn't know very well, but one thing is for sure, Zhu Houxi must have hesitation in his heart, since there is hesitation, it proves that this matter will be risky and have a turnaround...

"Now Guo Xun is still locked up in Jinyiwei's edict?" , Xia Yan reclined there, half-closed eyes and asked softly.

"Yes, it's still locked inside...", Peng Yue frowned, not knowing why Xia Yan suddenly asked about it.

"It's good to be shut up in there... Jinyi... Lu Bing...", Xia Yan muttered like a dream, but Peng Yue's heart next to him twitched: What does he want to do?

"It's almost there, isn't it?" , Xia Yan stretched, "It's time for us to get out of the car..."

"Hmm... It's almost time to get to the palace, we have to go over...", Peng Yue helped Xia Yan get out of the carriage, "Actually, there's no need to be too anxious, the emperor is quite late these days, so I didn't arrive on time, let's go early and wait..."

"I know... When I first came back to the court two days ago, I waited there for a long time...", Xia Yan stood still and sighed softly, "The emperor is really getting more and more disagreeable, but it is a pity that we as courtiers can't advise..."

"It's... Lord Xia, the emperor's cultivation has not been a day or two, and there are some things... Let's turn a blind eye...", Peng Yue couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard Xia Yan's words just now, and he was afraid that Xia Yan would do something impulsive.

"Hmm...", Xia Yan looked at Peng Yue, frowned, but didn't say anything, turned around and strode forward...
