"Huh?" , Xia Yan watched Peng Yue respectfully put on the green leaf crown, and couldn't help frowning, "I forgot that top at home, and I don't want to wear it..."

"Lord Xia, this is that you are too stubborn...", Peng Yue straightened his hat and sighed, "I know you don't want to wear it, I don't want to wear it, I also think it's funny, but if you don't wear it, the emperor will feel uncomfortable and angry, so there is no need for us to argue with the emperor about this kind of thing."

In fact, when Zhu Houxi first awarded the green leaf crown, Xia Yan was still willing to wear it. But then it became a time to wear it and not to wear it, and Peng Yue couldn't go around to Xia Yan's door every time he went to the door of Xia Yan's house to remind him to wear a hat. After analyzing the time before and after, Peng Yue also guessed that it must be because of Guo Xun's downfall, Xia Yan was no longer afraid of his opponents in the court, so he dared to do this, so he would be like this. But he didn't know that a more dangerous enemy, Yan Song, was quietly watching from the side, and what was even more terrifying was that Xia Yan didn't care about it.

"This is not a question of stubbornness or not, but a matter of principle...", Xia Yanzheng was dressed upright, and his eyes looked extremely serious, "The emperor sometimes messes around, how can we follow the nonsense?" Although I would not object to him sending Aoba crowns to courtiers, I would never wear such a thing! ”

Peng Yue was also speechless when he heard Xia Yan's words. It seems that as a person's identity and status change, his ideas will also change unconsciously. If he wanted to change to the previous time when Xia Yan was a small official, let him wear a green leaf crown to win Zhu Houxi's favor, he must not hesitate.

But now it's different, being in the position of the first assistant, it is natural to feel awkward to wear that kind of thing. He would not feel that this was a favor from the emperor. It will only feel like an insult. In fact, every time Peng Yue wore this green leaf crown, he also felt very uncomfortable in his heart. But he knew that he couldn't anger Zhu Houxi because of this calculation, this was putting the cart before the horse. Who allowed himself to be such a master?

"That's... Lord Xia, you should pay attention to the emperor's emotions, don't anger the emperor..."

"This doesn't matter, how can such a trivial matter anger the emperor?" , Xia Yan waved his hand indifferently, "Besides, I didn't wear it a few times ago, didn't the emperor say anything, just be safe with each other..."

"Oh well. But in my opinion, you'd better wear it in the future, after all, there are so many ministers in the court who want to wear it, but they don't have the chance...", this may be the siege, right? The people outside want to go in, and the people inside want to come out, Peng Yue thought with a wry smile in his heart.

However, what Xia Yan said, Peng Yue also listened to it in his heart. His green leaf crown is indeed worn from time to time, but Zhu Houxi has never blamed him for this. It was precisely because of this that Peng Yue's worried heart settled down a little. He knew that such a hard persuasion was useless, and it might also arouse Xia Yan's rebellious mentality: Lao Tzu just didn't wear it, who would dare to do anything to me? Think about that. Peng Yue also gave up his intention to advise again.

"It's okay, I'll grasp the scale...", Xia Yan patted Peng Yue's shoulder. You wear, I have no objection. But you don't need to worry about my attitude on the matter. ”

"Hehe... I don't need to worry too much, just follow your path. You're dangerous, you know? Of course, Peng Yue could only say this sentence to himself with a wry smile in his heart, and on the surface, he still nodded at Xia Yan, showing a reluctant agreement.

After a few more words of gossip, Peng Yue and Xia Yan walked to the main hall and began the journey of waiting for Zhu Houxi to come to the court...

Zhu Houxi arrived relatively early today, and the courtier didn't wait a while before he came. And the ministers didn't seem to have much to say, and after playing some inconsequential things, they were all silent, waiting for the emperor to say that the dynasty was dispersed.

I saw Zhu Houxi sitting on it, his face was solemn, and it seemed that he had a look signaling that he wanted to disperse, but if he looked closely, it seemed that he had something to say, and the minister standing below waited dryly.

At this moment, suddenly a minister came out and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”

"Why is it an unknown imperial historian...", some ministers couldn't help but feel a little helpless when they saw this. It's about to disperse, what are you running out for, this old leg is about to break!

In fact, when the ministers saw these imperial histories come out to perform things, they were a little disgusted in their hearts. Their official rank is not high, and they don't have many opportunities to go to court, so once it's their turn, they will definitely seize it and show it fiercely. But the problem is that the questions they say are very speechless and basically useless. Generously speaking, most of the time it becomes a bullshit, the emperor doesn't like to listen to it, and the ministers don't like to listen to it, but they still have to listen to it, and the imperial history is generally not finished...

However, this time, the little-known imperial historian did not speak as generously as in most cases, and the thing he played was very simple: Guo Xun's family property was confiscated and his family was exiled, but some small things that were not very valuable from the emperor were abandoned like a shoe, and the emperor was asked to investigate the mistakes of the relevant personnel.

In fact, this question is very clueless, Guo Xun is dead, what do you have to do with the matter of raiding the house? In addition, it is inevitable that officials will take the opportunity to get some oil and water or something when they raid the house, not to mention that some small things will be destroyed and neglected. I think that when Guo Xun was favored, there were more things given to him by the emperor, some good, some bad, some eye-catching, and some inconspicuous, who knows which one was given by the emperor? Maybe you want to blame Guo Xun for the crime of poor custody, but Guo Xun is dead, and his family is also exiled, so he can only count this account on the head of the official who raided the house.

However, these imperial historians are used to looking for trouble like this, so no one cares, but Peng Yue unconsciously thinks: Why did he mention this matter? Could it be that the officials who raided the house offended him? But your complaint is a bit out of line, it's been a while since Guo Xun's house was copied, and the mansion doesn't know if it was sold, and the officials who copied the house must have defended and denied it. In this way, if you have no evidence and no informant, not only will you not succeed in the lawsuit, but you may also be reprimanded and rolled by the emperor, and your IQ is also low, right? No wonder it's not usually welcome...

"How can it be!" , Zhu Houxi snorted coldly, his expression became even more ugly than just now, "How can the things I gave me be discarded like a shoe, and pass on my will, Guo Xun's wife will be exiled to Qianxi instead, and the relevant investigation and punishment personnel will be demoted by one level to show punishment!" ”

"Huh? This... Isn't that incredible? Peng Yue couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise below, and at the same time looked at the royal history who complained suspiciously: There must be another hidden truth here!

What is the name of this imperial history? Peng Yue really couldn't remember, as if he had just been transferred to the capital from the place, and he didn't have much to do with the officials now, so he naturally didn't pay attention to this kind of person. He shouldn't have a clear faction, right? When I go back, I must find out who advocated transferring him to the capital. Of course, the most important thing is that it seems that he should stick a strong nail in the ministry. That's right, Xu Jie! Now that he is in the Ministry of Rites, it seems that he should find an opportunity to install him in the Ministry of Rites.

"Gong Jin, why didn't you wear the green leaf crown that I gave you when you went to court today?" After Zhu Houxi said a few angry words, he turned his gaze to Xia Yan, who had been watching coldly below,

Zhu Houxi's question, Xia Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and Peng Yue on the side of Rao was also stunned, but he quickly woke up: Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, which was intended for Pei Gong! The performance of the imperial history just now was by no means just to impeach the officials involved in Guo Xun's seizure of the family, but intended to lead the disaster to Xia Yan, and he insinuated Xia Yan's disrespectful attitude towards the things given by Zhu Houxi with the matter of stealing the family!

It's really a good plan, he knows that with the tacit relationship between Zhu Houyu and Xia Yan, Zhu Houyu is not good at asking Xia Yan directly, but he can see that Zhu Houyu is unhappy because of this matter, so he brought up the matter and let Zhu Houyu take this as an opportunity to criticize Xia Yan.

But why did this imperial history do this? This was by no means unintentional, but a planned and premeditated design. Moreover, Peng Yue concluded that it was instructed by someone. This imperial history has just arrived in the capital, and he has no foundation at all, how dare he have the idea of offending Xia Yan. Even if he wants to invite pets, he has to weigh his own weight, the emperor may not know his name, and his approach is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

So there is only one explanation, and that is that there is someone behind him. Who will it be? Peng Yue's gaze roamed around the hall, but he inadvertently bumped into Xia Yan's eyes. Obviously, Xia Yan also understood that something was wrong, and his fierce gaze was also searching, staring at the imperial history who had just complained. Seeing this, Peng Yue hurriedly glanced at Xia Yan: Don't act rashly!

"Gong Jin, I'm asking you, why didn't you wear the green leaf crown I gave you...", Zhu Houxi accentuated his tone and repeated the question again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister...", Xia Yan paused and met Zhu Houxi's gaze, "The minister forgot at home..."

"Forgotten at home?" , Zhu Houxi frowned and breathed a sigh of relief, "Xia Aiqing, this shouldn't be the first time you forgot to wear it, right?" Have you forgotten it at home every time? That being the case, I'm very worried about whether you can handle the political affairs of the court..."

It turned out that Zhu Houxi had been paying attention to this problem, and Peng Yue secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good. But this kind of thing is indeed unavoidable, Xia Yan's identity and status and thoughts have changed, even if there is no Qingye crown, other similar things will also anger Zhu Houxi.

"Xia Aiqing, answer me, why didn't you wear the green leaf crown a few times before?" , Zhu Houxi stared at Xia Yan, with a big "I won't give up if you don't make it clear"... (To be continued.) )
