"Master, someone from the Xia Mansion invites you to the mansion to talk...", Peng Yue, who had just packed up and was about to go out, was stopped by the servant who ran from the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Huh? Xia Mansion...", Peng Yue was there, as if he remembered something: That's the case, that incident happened in the court yesterday, how could Xia Yan be indifferent, he was looking for himself to discuss countermeasures! It is estimated that Xia Yan will be so anxious now that he will be like an ant on a hot pot - turning around, right?

However, he had already made an appointment with Xueqi, and he met in Lishui Courtyard today, thinking about Xueqi's reluctance at that time, Peng Yue couldn't help laughing, "You go and tell the people in Xiafu that I still have some things to deal with, and I need to go later..."

"My lord, the carriage of Xia Mansion is waiting at the door, saying that the matter is urgent, I hope you can go there soon..."

"It seems that Xia Yan is really in a hurry...", Peng Yue sighed lightly in his heart, and suddenly became contradictory. I knew that I had gone to Lishui Courtyard earlier, but I didn't go until now, just in time for Xia Yan's business.

After hesitating for a moment, Peng Yue still decided to go to Xia Yan, after all, he personally sent a carriage to pick him up, and it was estimated that Xia Yan was in a hurry. Although he made an appointment with Xueqi, after all, he proposed it at the time, and now that there is something temporary, Xueqi should forgive herself. After all, there will be time to accompany her in the future, but Xia Yan is in a hurry at this moment.

"Three days to give a bride price, ten days to wear a wedding robe... As long as you don't forget these two things, you can find other opportunities to go there again! Peng Yue muttered, then walked to the gate and got into the carriage sent by the Xia Mansion.

On the way to Xiafu, Peng Yue was not idle. I've been thinking about how to deal with Xia Yan for a while. He could guess what Xia Yan was going to ask himself, which was nothing more than how to deal with Yan Song.

Now Yan Song is already a poor dagger. If Xia Yan doesn't find a way to fight back, then he will definitely fall behind. The attitude of some officials who have wavered from side to side will also change. It's really not to let people be idle, as soon as Guo Xun's matter was resolved, Yan Song popped up again, and he didn't even have a chance to breathe.

Whether this war can be won or not, Peng Yue can't give an answer, because he knows that the initiative is still in the hands of Xia Yan and Yan Song, and he is just a participant, and he can't control the outcome at all. And looking at the current situation, Peng Yue really doesn't have much confidence in Xia Yan. Why do people change so much?

Just when Peng Yue hadn't figured out the final clue, the carriage had already stopped, opened the curtain, and saw Xia Yan standing outside waiting, "Zirui, I've been waiting for a long time..."

"Lord Xia has been waiting for a long time...", Peng Yue got out of the carriage, but saw that Xia Yan did not have a sad face as he imagined, but looked very calm. Even with a smile on his face.

"I don't know what happened when Lord Xia summoned me here?"

"Don't be in a hurry, go in and talk about it, haha...". Xia Yan hugged Peng Yue and pulled him in with a smile.

"There's no hurry... Don't be in a hurry to send a carriage to pick me up, if you are really not in a hurry. Then I'll go to Lishui Courtyard to find Xue Qi now...", Peng Yue listened to Xia Yan's polite words. couldn't help but have a black line on his face, and said secretly in his heart.

"Come with me into the inner hall to deliberate...". Xia Yan walked to the depths of the courtyard, only then did he put away Fang Cai's smiling face, put on a solemn expression, and went directly around the hall, and the subordinates did not follow him.

The room had already been cleaned up, the freshly poured tea was still steaming, and the melons, fruits, and candied fruits were also placed next to them, but now the two of them had no time to pay attention.

"Zirui, since it's just the two of us, I won't say those empty words, you should also know the purpose of my invitation to come, now think about it, how to deal with it for the sake of today?" As soon as Xia Yanfu sat down, he couldn't wait to look at Peng Yue and speak.

"Uh... Does Lord Xia mean how to deal with Yan Song? Peng Yue touched his chin, feeling a little uncomfortable with Xia Yan's very obvious change of attitude.

"What else can I do?" , Xia Yan looked at Peng Yue, and suddenly lowered his head again, "What happened in the court yesterday was really ... Alas... But Yan Song is really hateful, I think he is clearly going to fight against me, how can I tolerate him? ”

"But... Lord Xia, you were indeed a little impulsive in the court yesterday...", Peng Yue looked at Xia Yan and said in a low voice, "So if you want to deal with Yan Song, you must first restrain yourself and not let yourself do anything wrong." ”

"I also know this...", Xia Yan sighed, "Since I came back yesterday, I have been reflecting on that incident, and I feel that I am indeed a little anxious, which gave Yan Song an opportunity..."

"Yes, you can understand that this section is the best...", hearing Xia Yan say this, Peng Yue's expression was a little relieved, "If you want to deal with Yan Song, the most important thing is yourself, as long as you are cautious in everything and don't let others seize the handle, then your position as the first assistant is still stable." ”

"I'm afraid it's not okay to do this...", Xia Yan scratched his hair and looked sad, "When you do things in front of the emperor, you don't make a mistake at all, if someone deliberately goes against you, then no matter how careful you are, it won't help..."

"Lord Xia, you're to the point, if you want to add sin, why bother? So what I mean is not for you not to make mistakes, but not to break the emperor's taboo, that is, don't do anything that angers the emperor. Peng Yue sighed lightly, and his tone was a little helpless, "As long as the emperor is satisfied with you, then some mistakes will not be called mistakes, and will naturally be ignored, but if the emperor is dissatisfied with you, then the slightest mistakes will be constantly magnified, and eventually become the reason for the emperor's guilt, such as the matter of the green leaf crown above the court yesterday, with all due respect, if it wasn't for the emperor's resentment, then it wouldn't be so trivial." ”

Listening to Peng Yue's words, Xia Yan also fell silent on the side. He knew that what Peng Yue said was very reasonable, but he was very uncomfortable in his heart, and the so-called loyalty was the same for all the ears. But he could also listen to it, after all, he had suffered a big loss, and he also realized that his heart was indeed getting more and more anxious.

"Yes, what you said is very right...", Xia Yan nodded, but his facial expression was a little unnatural, "I promise, like yesterday's things in the court... It will never happen again..."

"This is the best...", Peng Yue showed some joy when he heard Xia Yan say this, "As long as you can guarantee this, then no matter how Yan Song uses means, it is impossible to replace you..."

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, it is not appropriate to have such a person behind your back to calculate you...", Xia Yan squinted his eyes, and his eyes also showed a bit of cruelty, "And Yan Song is treacherous and unscrupulous, it is really hateful, I think if I didn't try my best to promote him, how could he come to this day?" ”

Hearing this, Peng Yue also complained a little in his heart: It's not all your fault, I told you that Yan Song was not a good person, and advised you to take advantage of the situation to suppress him. As a result, you were good, and you ate other people's knots, and you had the friendship of fellow villagers, so you turned a deaf ear to my words. That's good, I've made a mistake now, and I've suffered a lot, right?

However, Peng Yue couldn't say this kind of thing, he could only think about it in his heart, after all, things had already passed, and it was useless to say more, but it would affect the mood of the two of them, and only increase regret.

"What does Lord Xia want to do?"

"That's what I'm looking for you today...", Xia Yan straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's definitely not a way to always wait passively like this, let's take the initiative and think about how to squeeze Yan Song out of the capital, it's best to let him lose his official position and never turn over!" ”

"Never turn over? This is ruthless enough, it seems that Xia Yan is really angry this time, but if it were someone else, it would probably be the same reaction...", Peng Yue touched his nose and thought.

"Lord Xia, I know you're angry right now, and... And you deserve to be angry, but you're telling me to find a way... It's really..."

"Why, are you still embarrassed?" , Xia Yan frowned, and looked at Peng Yue with some doubts, "Oh... Shouldn't you be embarrassed to do it because someone wants to marry your daughter to you? Ahem... Yan Song is indeed a good calculation, even if it is impossible to really win you over, but at least it can make you embarrassed to attack him... Oops..."

"Lord Xia, what are you talking about...", Peng Yue glanced at Xia Yan with some disgust, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, "I don't want to ask for such a cheap father-in-law, and besides, what do I think of Yan Song in my heart, even if others don't know, don't you know?" ”

"Then why are you...", Xia Yan looked at Peng Yue, and didn't know what to say, "Oops... In fact, I also understand that if you really marry Yan Song's daughter, it is indeed a little unreasonable for you to design against Yan Song like this..."

Seeing Xia Yan say this, Peng Yue didn't know if he was sincere or deliberately provoking himself, so he couldn't help but glance at him angrily, "Lord Xia doesn't have to analyze this section, I can tell you clearly, right and wrong are the most important thing in my heart, even if I marry Yan Song's daughter, if Yan Song does something that harms the country and the people, I will never sit idly by, besides... I didn't want to marry his daughter..."

"Oh? Is that so? Xia Yan looked at Peng Yue with some surprise, and couldn't help but smile heartily at his "righteous and awe-inspiring" behavior, "Since that's the case, that... Then tell me what you can do..."

"Uh... I...", Peng Yue touched the tip of his nose and glanced at Xia Yan, "I haven't thought of any good way now... I don't know what kind of countermeasures Lord Xia has? ”

"Hmm... If I really had a good countermeasure, I wouldn't have invited you over in such a hurry...", Xia Yan said a little discouraged, "It's okay, let's think about it together now, think together... Actually, I already have some ideas..." )
