"By the way, Yan Aiqing, how did you find out about this?" , When the waiter rummaged through the urgent letter, Zhu Houxi looked at Yan Song again and chatted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister heard about it from Lord Xia by chance...", Yan Song's lie is not very clever, because Xia Yan is absolutely impossible to tell Yan Song about this kind of thing. But Zhu Houyu naturally doesn't care about these details, he can't tell Zhu Houxi that these news are told to him by those privately planted henchmen, right?

Yan Song was very satisfied in his heart, he felt that he was very discerning. He knew that in fact, Zhu Houyu was very concerned about the affairs of the military affairs in the northwest, so he kept an eye on this matter, and he would know any news first, at least earlier than Zhu Houyi, because these twists and turns had to be sent to the cabinet for drafting, and then sent to Zhu Houyi to be picked by the inner servants, and approved under Zhu Houxi's instructions.

Of course, Yan Song also knew that Peng Yue was also secretly concerned about these things, which made his evaluation of Peng Yue a few points higher. He thinks that his vision of seeing people is also very accurate, and Peng Yue, the son-in-law, is really right, but he doesn't know what Peng Yue's plan will be in these military affairs information.

"Oh... Xia Yan told you, it seems that you all knew earlier than me, hehe...", Zhu Houxi deliberately laughed twice, and then carefully observed Yan Song's slightly nervous face. He liked the feeling, and he liked to see the ministers fear him from the bottom of his heart, even though he didn't know that sometimes the ministers could fool themselves by playing tricks.

"Your Majesty forgives me, and the minister also overheard about it...", Yan Song frowned, feeling that what he said was a little awkward. He hurriedly added, "But the minister really feels that this matter is urgent. So he came and reported it to His Majesty. ”

Just as Yan Song was speaking, the attendant had already hurried back. Although his body is quite steady, his steps are a little staggering. I saw him walk to Zhu Houxi's side, but he didn't dare to raise his head, "Your Majesty, excerpt... It doesn't seem to have been sent yet..."

The waiter's lips kept trembling when he said this, and he was really scared in his heart. This Yan Song has come to talk about this, why hasn't the excerpt been delivered yet? The chamberlain flipped the folds on the table back and forth several times, but he really couldn't find it, and then carefully combed it in his mind. After making sure that the fold was not lost, the chamberlain dared to come and report it, but he was still afraid...

"Didn't find it?" , Zhu Houxi's fierce gaze hit the inner servant, and the inner servant trembled, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps back, "Your Majesty, the slave is really not looking for... No, it's true that the Cabinet hasn't sent it yet..."

That's what I wanted. Just now, under Zhu Houxi's questioning, he almost fell into the trap, Yan Song didn't come to care about the war in the northwest with concern for the country and the people, he raised this matter just to draw out Xia Yan!

"Your Majesty, it is true that this urgent letter has not yet been sent from the Cabinet. Because now this excerpt is still in Lord Xia's house! Yan Song spoke a little faster than usual at this time, as if he was afraid that others would interrupt him.

And the attendant next to him heard Yan Song's words. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if I had encountered some big savior. In fact, it was a big lifesaver for him...

"Your Majesty, I replied to Koubian the other day. There are constantly displaced people fleeing to the Gyeonggi area, thinking that the war is extremely fierce, and now the report is coming, the minister is extremely worried, lest there be some big chaos, so after hearing the news, he immediately rushed to meet ...", Yan Song looked at Zhu Houxi's face, and always felt that his words were not enough, so he added two more sentences, "The minister thought that His Majesty knew about it, so he wanted to rush to solve the emperor's worries, but he didn't admit it..."

"Loyalty is commendable...", Zhu Houxi nodded a little indifferently, and his mind spun quickly, "Why is that excerpt in Xia Yan's house?" Shouldn't it be in the attic? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Xia... In recent days, I have been sick, because I have been in the palace less often to deal with government affairs, and some of the twists and turns have been sent directly to Lord Xia's mansion...", Yan Song felt that he had released enough information.

Zhu Houxi listened to Yan Song's words, and his hand that was playing with a sky blue glazed cup suddenly stiffened, raised his head and looked at Yan Song a little dazed, and only then did he squeeze out a sentence, "Send it to his house?" Is he the only one in the cabinet? He's sick... Isn't there a way to deal with this government? ”

Yan Song's heart was overjoyed, but he couldn't show it on his face, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "Zhai Ge is old..."

"Don't tell me how Zhai Luan is!" , Zhu Houxi angrily threw the tray on the table, and the sharp-eyed chamberlain hurriedly straightened the rolling tray around, "Zhai Luan has been inspecting military affairs in Datong, Gansu and other places, if you want to say that this side is urgent, should it be the most appropriate for Zhai Luan to deal with it?" Well? ”

"What Your Majesty said is extreme...", Yan Song didn't expect Zhu Houxi to be furious when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

"In fact, Xia Ge still cares about the government when he is sick, which is really admirable, but...", Yan Song was stunned, and then changed his tone, "It's just that under such circumstances, it is inevitable that major events will be delayed, such as this northwest war situation, which is already a matter of great importance, and the ministers can't sleep every time they think about it, who would have thought that there is an urgent report now, but it's... Alas, I don't know what the content of this urgent report is, so it seems that Xia Ge Lao is indeed arbitrary..."

Originally, Zhu Houyu had an indignant expression just now, but when he heard Yan Song say so cautiously, Zhu Houxi's angry expression slowly became stronger, and he even picked up the octagonal dragon cup on the table, and carefully tasted the black raisin strong milk tea in the cup, "Yan Aiqing, I heard that you held a banquet in the house a few days ago to entertain Xia Yan, but Xia Yan has not arrived for a long time, but this is the case?" ”

"Huh?" , Yan Song was surprised and surprised in his heart, he never expected Zhu Houxi to mention this matter coldly. But he knew that since Zhu Houxi had brought it up, he must have known it clearly. Jinyi Wei Lu Bing's intelligence work was not done in vain, and he had to tell the truth, so he lowered his head and said stupidly, "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing..."

"Oh... This Xia Yan is also not like words, he obviously accepted the post, but he deliberately didn't go, isn't this obviously embarrassing? Zhu Houxi looked at Yan Song and smiled, "Weizhong, are you angry about this matter, nor are you annoyed?" ”

Zhu Houxi called out his own words, if it was placed on weekdays, this kind of closeness would definitely make Yan Song happy, but now Yan Song is not in this mood: he was obviously talking about Xia Yan's private deduction just now, why did he suddenly turn to this matter?

Yan Song had to quickly figure out the reason for this sudden change, could it be that Zhu Houxi saw his own thoughts? This is impossible, but with a glance at Zhu Houxi's slightly cold smile, Yan Song has no idea...

No matter, since the emperor asked, then tell the truth, anyway, he is in charge, and I am afraid that I will not be able to deceive Zhu Houxi, fortunately, I have prepared a post-move...

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister was indeed a little angry in his heart at that time, but... It's just that he is a minister of the same dynasty, and it's inconvenient to do more calculations...", after Yan Song finished speaking, he stood with his hands down and was silent.

When Zhu Houxi heard Yan Song's answer, he sneered in his heart: It's inconvenient to do more, I'm afraid you are helpless, right?

Zhu Houxi is a smart person, and he is a smart emperor. Over the years, he had seen too many struggles between the powerful and the ministers, and he knew their methods. Jin Yiwei Lu Bing's work is indeed in place, he, like Huang Jin, is one of the few people who is still worthy of his trust, who let him grow up with him. He witnessed the cowardice of his childhood, the embarrassment of his childhood, the stupidity of his childhood...

Jin Yiwei's private investigation work made him quite clear about the contradictions between Xia Yan and Yan Song, and he was kind on the surface, but secretly made a move. Sometimes Zhu Houxi looks at these old men who are more than half a hundred years old chasing power and profit, and he will be inexplicably funny in his heart: What is there to fight for? After all, aren't they all working for themselves? Ascending and descending is not just a matter of one's own words, you can't see it more clearly, you must know that cultivating immortals is a big plan...

In fact, after Zhu Houxi lost his temper in front of Yan Song just now, he began to think in his heart: there was a problem with Yan Song's words, he said that he was here to report the war in the northwest to him, but he knew that this fold was in Xia Yan's house, and when he ordered his inner servant to find it, he did not express his doubts. Besides, he definitely doesn't know the specific content of the excerpt, so how can he solve problems for himself? There are so many loopholes in his words!

Thinking about the past, Zhu Houxi naturally understood that Yan Song wanted to use this to complain to himself to attack Xia Yan. What a joke, you're all pawns in my hands, and you still want to use me? However, Zhu Houxi is still happy to see this kind of open and secret struggle between his courtiers, and the overly close relationship between Xia Yan and Peng Yue is what he is secretly worried about...

"Yan Aiqing is broad, this is a good thing...", Zhu Houxi nodded approvingly, but his impression of Yan Song was somewhat discounted: this seemingly loyal Yan Song has also begun to schem against himself, which is not good, but this does not mean that he can't use it, and he can play a bigger game of chess, because Xia Yan's chess piece is indeed a little unusual...

"Weizhong, you can explain this matter to me, I am very relieved...", Zhu Houxi's cup stretched out slightly, and the waiter hurriedly poured the milk tea in the cup again, "Xia Yan is indeed a little unreasonable, in fact, I have also heard of some of his practices in the cabinet, but I can't bear to blame him more when I think he is quite conscientious on weekdays, but now it seems that he is indeed a little indulgent, I don't know what Weizhong thinks about this?" ”

"Your Majesty...", Yan Song listened to Zhu Houxi's words, and a huge courage rose in his heart, if he didn't say it at this time, when would he wait? No matter what kind of thoughts his emperor has in his heart, the white can be said to be black to him, and the black can be said to be white!

"Your Majesty...", Yan Song knelt on the ground with a plop, his expression was sad, and tears fell, "Your Majesty, the minister has been bullied by Xia Yan, and I hope Your Majesty will be the master of the minister!" (To be continued.) )
