"Hmph, this Yan Song is really a long skill, he can say such shameless words!" Xia Yan grabbed a few copies of the table and threw them to the ground, "I still value him so much!" ”

"Lord Xia..."Peng Yue lifted the curtain and walked in slowly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord Peng..."Xia Yan couldn't help frowning when he saw Peng Yue walking in, and his tone was a little displeased, "This is where the cabinet ministers handle government affairs, why did you come in without permission?" ”

"Lord Xia, I know that I came here to be unorthodox, but I really have something I want to say to you..."Peng Yue bowed to Xia Yan, "Lord Xia, I apologize to you for my attitude last time, and I hope you can forgive the recklessness and presumptuousness of the juniors..."

"Hmm..."Xia Yan nodded slightly, and when he heard Peng Yue say this, he felt a little guilty in his heart. Originally, he had been friends with Peng Yue for several years, although the last incident really made Xia Yan very angry, but after arguing with Peng Yue, Xia Yan felt a little lost these days. I remember that when I encountered political problems before, I always discussed with Peng Yue first, and every time he was able to put forward some constructive suggestions to himself. Now that he encounters a problem, there is no one like Peng Yue to share his worries and solve his doubts, which really makes Xia Yan feel unaccustomed.

"If you have anything to say, then say it quickly..."Xia Yan looked at the seat next to him, and motioned for Peng Yue to sit down with his eyes, "This is the minister's affairs to deal with government affairs, and it is inconvenient for you to stay here for a long time..."

"Thank you, Lord Xia..."Seeing Xia Yan's attitude, Peng Yue knew that he had the intention to ease, and there was a smile in his eyes.

"Lord Xia, the emperor has already named Emperor Xian as Ming Ruizong and invited him into the Taimiao..."Peng Yue paused, and his eyes became cautious, "Lord Xia doesn't agree with this matter, I saw Lord Xia when I came in just now..."

"I've been a little upset about the complicated affairs recently, and I hope you won't be surprised..."Xia Yan interrupted Peng Yue's words unhurriedly, "The things that the emperor has decided, I will naturally do it honestly, and I won't have any other thoughts..."

"Yes, the emperor has already decided on something, we as courtiers can't say much..."Peng Yue saw that Xia Yan was careful, and he was also sloppy, "But Lord Yan's attitude is enough to surprise me, originally Lord Yan still didn't agree with it at first, but let the emperor reprimand a few words, and the attitude changed so much, it was so intense for the emperor's mind, no wonder the emperor could give this method so quickly..."

In fact, when Peng Yue knew that Yan Song was on the second day of "Ode to Qingyun" and "Ode to the Great Gift", and strongly supported Zhu Houxi's approach, he knew that what he said to Yan Song did not have a role, and he also understood that Yan Song's favor had already become a trend, and it was impossible to hinder it. But Peng Yue suddenly thought that this was not an opportunity to repair the relationship between himself and Xia Yan, since the contradiction has been transformed, then the interests will also change, although the contradiction between himself and Xia Yan has arisen because of other things, but it may end because of this matter.

"Yes, Yan Song's two letters are really well written, but they really make me... I was impressed..."When Xia Yan heard Peng Yueyan and Yan Song's matter, he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, and his nose twitched slightly when he spoke.

Xia Yan's very obvious expression of emotion, Peng Yue saw it in his eyes. Moreover, when Xia Yan mentioned Yan Song, he no longer said his name, but directly called his name, and Peng Yue knew how deep Xia Yan's resentment against Yan Song was.

"Not only do you think that the letter is well written, but I also think that the letter is good..."Peng Yue paused deliberately, and his tone also had a bit of a sense of ridicule, "The most important thing is that the emperor thinks that those two folds are well written, and he reprimanded Lord Yan the day before, and after a day, when he saw those two letters, he immediately praised Lord Yan, and gave money and rewards, which is really enviable..."

"Are you telling the truth? Do you really envy Yan Song in your heart? Xia Yan said this, but he smiled, "You must know that although he Yan Song has been rewarded and praised by the emperor, the opinions and scoldings of hundreds of officials are also endless, just this stack, all of them are excerpts to impeach Yan Song..."

"The emperor has seen all these folds?" Peng Yue asked a little anxiously, and his body leaned forward unconsciously.

"How can the emperor not be clear about the attitude of the hundred officials, but the emperor's thoughts... You and I both know..."Xia Yan's hand hung down a little helplessly, "Unless I want to provoke the emperor's anger and make these officials unlucky, or these folds... It's better not to let the emperor see it..."

"That's true..."Peng Yue smiled awkwardly, and then sighed softly helplessly.

"My question just now... You haven't answered yet..."Xia Yan's eyes were a little mysterious, "Yan Song's current situation, are you really envious?" ”

"This..."Peng Yue didn't know why Xia Yan was entangled in this issue, so the naturally small movements just now also seemed a little flustered, "Lord Yan this time... There are pros and cons, I don't know... Should I be envious or not..."

"You shouldn't be envious..."Xia Yan raised his finger and pointed at Peng Yue, "because you are smarter than him, and you are more cost-effective than him..."

"Lord Xia... What do you mean by that? Peng Yue tried his best to calm his expression, but he couldn't hide the look of surprise at the beginning.

"The Emperor... The contents of Yan Song's two letters were printed in the newspaper and published in a book, you came up with the idea, right? Xia Yan looked at Peng Yue with a smile and didn't give him a chance to speak, "And on the night of Yan Song's performance, you met with the emperor in private, agreed with Yan Song's approach, and proposed to the emperor the method of printing Yan Song's notes in the newspaper, am I right?" ”

"Ah..." Peng Yue frowned slightly, and his face turned red, because what Xia Yan said was right, and all these small actions he made in private were all pointed out at once, "Lord Xia, I'm not... I just know that the emperor's "Zong Yuan Temple" is imperative, and I know that I can't stop it, so I can't... Privately helped..."Peng Yue said this, and lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"What you're doing... The calculation is very accurate..."Xia Yan pointed at Peng Yue and smiled, "You don't want to leave a bad name, so you won't take the lead, but wait until Yan Song is on the fold, the emperor clearly stated, and when the ministers scolded Yan Song all over the world, choose to meet the emperor in private, and put forward suggestions and methods for the emperor to solve the problem, you are already hidden, and the attention of the ministers is on Yan Song, so in this way, you not only please the emperor, but also avoid offending the ministers, your move... Go very smart..."

"Lord Xia, I'm going to... It's also a last resort..."Peng Yue's answer was a little slurred, and his thoughts were exposed all of a sudden, Peng Yue was embarrassed and puzzled, he didn't know how his private actions could be discovered by Xia Yan, in order not to leave a handle for others, he specially chose to meet in person instead of playing a fold, and he specially chose a time period that was the least easy to be discovered by other ministers, but he didn't expect that even so, it was still known by Xia Yan so quickly.

"What do you mean by necessity?" Xia Yan squinted his eyes with a questioning expression, "Could it be that someone put a knife on your neck and asked you to play to the emperor?" ”

"Lord Xia said that he laughed...", Peng Yue's expression became relaxed when Xia Yan said this, "It's just that I know that the emperor has made up his mind, and it is useless to dissuade him, since he can't stop it, it's better to follow the emperor's wishes, so as not to leave a disobedient and pedantic impression on the emperor..."

"What do you mean by a disobedient and pedantic impression?" Xia Yan looked angry, "In the final analysis, you still want to take this opportunity to win the emperor's favor and plan for your career in the long run. ”

"Lord Xia, I'm not selfish this time!" Peng Yue stared at Xia Yan solemnly, "I did this to prevent someone from taking advantage of this situation and causing chaos in the government." ”

"Oh? I don't know what Zirui said about the villain... Who is it? Xia Yan frowned, and he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Peng Yue's gourd.

"Yan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!" Peng Yue replied word by word, and after this conversation, Peng Yue obviously felt that Xia Yan's tone was much softened, and even the title was changed to the previous "Zirui", so he said boldly.

"Uh... Zirui, what do you mean? Xia Yan is now not only patient, but also curiosity has been fully mobilized.

"Lord Xia, I mentioned to you before, Yan Song's villain, if he gains power, he will definitely cause trouble to the court, I am afraid that you and I will be harmed by him, I did this just to prevent Yan Song from taking this opportunity to get too much favor from His Majesty, so that he will not have the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step and do whatever he wants."

Peng Yue knew that Yan Song would gain power because of this, and since he couldn't stop it, it was better to support Zhu Houxi's idea and give him good suggestions, so that Zhu Houxi could also know that Yan Song was not only his staunch supporter in this matter. Moreover, when he met with Zhu Houxi, he deliberately revealed in his words that Yan Song was against this move at first, but later changed his statement due to the pressure of the situation. In this way, there is no need to say it explicitly, Zhu Houxi also has a plan in his heart, after all, a firm and obedient supporter is not the same as a cowardly villain.

"But Zirui... In this matter... We as courtiers should not make concessions..."Xia Yan's tone was much softer than just now, "Your Majesty's move... It's really a bit excessive, if Ming Ruizong is invited into the Taimiao, the ancestors will be ashamed, and the history books will be infamy..."

"Lord Xia's words are serious..."Peng Yue smiled lightly, "This matter is indeed against etiquette, but it will not set off too much turmoil in the future generations, and future generations will not admit it, and the history books will be omitted, and it will not be counted at all..."

In fact, there is a very important reason why some things are said to be obsessed by the authorities and clear to bystanders is that the authorities always like to think too seriously about the outcome of things, just like when they were in middle school, every time they got a very poor score, they were always ashamed to see people, afraid that others would laugh at them, but in the hearts of others, they didn't care whether they were good or bad in the test, and even what kind of results you were, others may not necessarily remember. Just like now, Xia Yan and other ministers always think that this is a great thing and how bad it will have on future generations. But in fact, through time and space, this incident is like a pebble falling in the river, stirring up a circle of small ripples, and no one will notice it again.

"Why do you think that?" Xia Yan looked suspicious, obviously disagreeing with Peng Yue's statement, "In short... Zirui, I'm very disappointed in you, I didn't expect you to do such a thing, like... I didn't expect Yan Song to do such a thing..."Obviously, Xia Yan felt frustrated that he had seen the "two people" away.

"Lord Xia, I'm different from Yan Song..."Peng Yue sat precariously, "He is here to please the emperor, for the sake of a smooth career, but I am not, I have a different purpose from him, if Yan Song does not take the lead in agreeing, if it weren't for the emperor's clear attitude towards this matter, I would never have been on that letter, but... But I can't just watch Yan Song enjoy the favor of himself in this matter. ”

"Whether your purpose is the same, I have no way of knowing..."Xia Yan said, his eyes also drooped, "In this matter, I really don't have the courage to make it clear to the emperor and Shangshu, but to spread solidarity for this matter, I will never be unable to do it, and I will never agree..."

"Lord Xia, I know that you still have mustard and complaints about me in your heart, what happened before is indeed my fault, and I have apologized to you more than once, but..."Peng Yue's throat slid up and down, and his expression was also a little sad, "But I have been with you for many years, what kind of person I am, you still don't understand, don't you believe it?" ”

"Zi Rui..."Xia Yan lowered his head and avoided Peng Yue's gaze, "Zi Rui, I'm a little tired today, and it's inconvenient for you to stay here for a long time, or... Let's go..."

"Lord Xia..."Peng Yue raised his voice, and wanted to say something more.

"Don't worry... I won't publicize your private visit to Your Majesty, I'll treat it as... This incident has never happened..."Xia Yan raised his head and looked at Peng Yue, "Zirui, you have to be more careful in doing things in the future, there are many eyes and ears in the palace, even if you think that you are doing something hidden, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be discovered by others." ”

"Yes, that's how it feels, he's willing to teach me again..."Peng Yue sniffled, and a warmth flowed through his heart. I remember that he also taught me this before, when I first entered the court, I thought that I could be like a fish in water with a clever mouth, but later I found that the water in this court was much deeper than I imagined, and being in it was not something that I could cope with as a conceited "read a lot of history books" but had no experience in court politics. It was under Xia Yan's teaching that he gradually became familiar with the darkness in the government, knew how to prevent it, and even used it slowly, he was his teacher.

Peng Yue is a person who values feelings, he will not immediately resent Xia Yan because Xia Yan is not good to him, and he will not forget Xia Yan's kindness back then because Xia Yan is in conflict with him now, and after all, this contradiction is because he was at fault first.

"Master Xia, I have written down what you said..."Peng Yue's tone was a little choked, "I have never forgotten your teaching to me, and above the officialdom, there are many things that have to be discarded, but there are two things that must be carried with you at all times, one is the ideal, the other is the conscience, which Zi Rui will never dare to forget." I admit that I don't care much about the rules of etiquette, but in this matter of sparseness to the emperor, I asked myself, I have not lost my ideals and conscience, in Zi Rui's heart, I have always had the ideal of caring for the people of Li and benefiting the community, and I have always been worthy of the world and my conscience, this is the case when I used to do everything, and now I am like this to the emperor, Zi Rui never dares to forget, Zi Rui asks himself if he can't forget his ideals, worthy of his conscience! With that, Peng Yue bowed respectfully to Xia Yan.

"Hmm..."Xia Yan was also a little moved at this time, "I hope you can always remember what you said today..."

"Lord Xia, I still have a word..."

"Tell me..."

"Yan Song is really a traitor, if he doesn't get rid of it as soon as possible, he will definitely cause trouble to the court in the future..."
