Chapter 225: Old Friends of the Monarch and Ministers

The eaves are half dusk, and the sun is setting on the horizon.

Today, Yan Fu has undergone a transformation that is destined to become a good story, a father and son are both Huagai Hall scholars, a second master, will be famous in history, the original Yan Liu was regarded as unlearned, and did not take the road of the imperial examination like the world's scholars, he entered the Dali Temple, and there is a little-known story in the middle.

Eleven years ago, Yan Liu had already passed the age of establishment, but because he did not learn and did not know how to get ahead, he was not able to get ahead in his thirties, and the talented man would always meet nobles, if he hadn't met the biggest nobleman in his life in the year when he was not famous, maybe he would only be that useless scholar in his life.

The unofficial was light, and Yan Liu, who had unloaded the burden on his shoulders, once again ushered in his nobleman.

The emperor is a person who loves talents and cherishes talents, and Yan Liu Street Corner met a conversation, and finally changed Yan Liu's fate and a mess of scattered Dali Temple and the situation of the two armies of Dahe, the monarch and the minister for more than ten years, the relationship between the two is as harmonious and relaxed as when they first met, Yan Liu respects the emperor, but will not be overwhelmed by the majesty on him, the emperor is heavy on Yan Liu, and he will be more tolerant of his bad temper, everyone says that the emperor and Lu Yi'an are rare models of monarchs and ministers, but few people know the relationship between the emperor and Yan Liu, In fact, there is more friendship than between Lu Yi'an.

More than 10 years ago, the emperor was crushed to death by the meritorious family, and there was nowhere to use it, and Yan Liu, more than 10 years ago, was ridiculed by the neighbors for not learning and useless, and as soon as the monarch and the ministers met, there were many changes in Dahe.

More than ten years have passed, although the emperor is in the prime of life, he has already shown his old age, and Yan Liu, who is tired of his son and has done his best for the court, has also dyed black hair with white frost, recalling the past, and walked down the court and took off the dragon robe and official uniform, this pair of old friends is embarrassed.

"Let a master of solving the case paste the pie, my Dahe's talents are really abundant!" Looking at the sunset, leaning back against the rocking chair, the two men who are about to enter the dusk look at each other and smile, although the Yan family is well-off, although it is not said that it is a high-ranking family, but there is no need to worry about food and clothing, but after the death of the second elder of the Yan family, the family is in the middle of the road, and there is almost only this ancestral house left, in the days when it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Yan Liu, who is useless in his business, was forced to learn a craft of pasting flatbread, and set up a small stall at the mouth of the alley outside Yan's house. He helped him recover the money bag and earned fifty taels of silver with a large loaf of bread.

"If I hadn't met the emperor at the beginning, maybe I would still be in that alley now, and Xinglu would only be a butcher who kills pigs and sells meat in the vegetable market, everyone says that it is useless to be a scholar, but everyone wants to be a scholar, but I don't know that the Four Books and Five Classics Zhu Zi's science is really boring, where is there a small picture album of Bao Long's diagram to solve the case!"

Sitting side by side with the emperor, this is the treatment that only queens have, Yan Liu is very leisurely at the moment.

"The sea is also mulberry, and now you are no longer the original you!" The emperor shook the rocking chair under his feet, and leisurely recalled a lot of things.

Yan Liuzheng's eyes slowly opened and froze, he had been thinking about the emperor's thoughts for more than ten years, how could he not know what he meant by this.

"It's been more than ten years, and the emperor's heart is still as good as it was at the beginning!"

The emperor smiled, and Yan Liu grinned lightly.

"Wrong is wrong, you have already given me an explanation, and I am not a loss to him, Yan Liu, you have always been very accurate in your eyes, why did you choose him now?"

Two of them, this one is not the other.

Yan Liu's fixed eyes opened, there was no sunset in the sky today, only a dim and weak sunset. "Speaking of which, it's the dog's unfilial piety, isn't the emperor always lamenting that the first generation of heroes is burdened by his children, and as a parent, what else do you want!"

"What do you think of the two of them?" The emperor is a wise king, not because of how many correct decisions he has made, but because he knows how to solicit other people's opinions and brainstorm to make the wisest decisions.

"The two of them are like emperors." Yan Liu smiled hippie,

"You know that's not what I'm asking!" The emperor has a squint.

"I've resigned from the government and I'm just a grass people, saying bad things about others, if someone knows about it, it will be miserable!"

The emperor's foot on the pedal landed and fixed the rocking chair.

"King Chao is good, King Rui is also good, both of them are watermelons from Liuzhou, and there are too many seeds in the stomach."

The metaphor of comparing the current popular candidate for the crown prince to a watermelon made the emperor a little crying and laughing, but he just couldn't cry and laugh.

"Chao Ge lacks patience, and I am very pleased to have sharpened a lot of edges and corners under Fan Dongli's hands in the past half a year, if this child is not sick............ There is no second one in the world! ”

"Why doesn't the emperor like Princess Rui?"

The jumping topic made the emperor, who was about to pour out his worries, have to temporarily put away his bitterness.

"When you become a father-in-law, you will understand, if she is not Shen Ke's sister, I may be more tolerant."

"There is no father-in-law in the world who separates loving husband and wife!"

The creaky rocking chair shook, and the emperor looked coldly at the sunset on the horizon and said, "I always feel that Zhiyuan is doing this for Concubine Su, what do you think of Shen Ke?" ”

Yan Liu put his feet on the ground and set the rocking chair: "Shen Ke? He is Lu Shoufu's servant of the emperor, and the emperor should be the one who knows him best, what is there to be sure? ”

The emperor let out a long breath and slowly said his recent worries: "I heard something uncertain, originally I thought that Shen Ke was the straw in my hand, I wanted him to stand up and stand up, let him fall down, I overestimated myself, I let Chao Ge enter the military department, just don't want him to lose his military power, although Shen Ke won my heart, but in the end he is just a foreign minister, I only now find out that Shen Ke's prestige among the soldiers of the three armies is too high, and it is already higher than me, I don't want to see an An Guogong again, it is not easy for me to promote him." , it seems to be harder to beat him down. ”

The three words of An Guogong brought the thoughts of both the monarch and the minister back to the most helpless and embarrassed eleven years ago, which was the beginning of the turning point of Yan Liu's fate and the beginning of the emperor's willingness to stretch.

"If a general wants to serve the public, he must establish his prestige, the emperor does not need to establish the three armies, he only needs to establish Shen Ke, as long as the emperor can be sure that he is still in your hands, there is nothing to worry about, eleven years ago, I don't want to see it again!"

"I will eventually get old one day, and I can't do it anymore!"

"There is a precedent for An Guogong first, Shen Ke will be loyal to his duties, and besides, his most beloved sister is now your daughter-in-law, he has no reason."

The emperor gave Shen Ke the status of being above 10,000 people under one person, he had no reason not to be a loyal minister who would go down in history and be a rebel who was scolded by 10,000 people.

Yan Liu thought so.

"I'm afraid............ Chop the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again! The emperor looked up at the eaves, and above the black eaves was the blue sky.

Yan Liu can be valued by the emperor and promoted as a master of case solving, and it must be the best thing to observe people's details, the emperor's demeanor is like this, and he mentioned the bad things he heard back then, is it ............

"I have examined the corpses of the Anguo Mansion one by one, there will be no mistake, there are twenty-three members of the Anguo Mansion, ninety-nine family members, and none of the people who have a yellow book record in the Shuntian Mansion have escaped, and the identity of Shen Ke has not been verified by Zhu Ge himself? If he had something to do with the An family, how could Zhu Ge not be able to find out! ”

Zhu Ge sat behind the threshold, in the court, Lu Yi'an, Yan Liu, and Zhu Ge are the emperor's trusted people, and the emperor will hand over important things to the three of them to confirm, Zhu Ge led the pervasive Jinyi Guard, and was once a subordinate of An Guogong, if Shen Ke is really related to the An family, how can Zhu Ge's familiarity with the An family not be distinguished.

He is a criminal officer, and the most important evidence is everything, and the emperor has no evidence.

"Maybe it's because you're old and like to think about everything, you're idle anyway, how about helping me go for a trip?" The emperor looked at his old partner who had gone through more than ten years of ups and downs together, thinking that the number of times they would meet in the future might be only a handful, and he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental in his heart.

"I am willing to serve the emperor!" Yan Liu put away his laughter, got up and bowed.

"I need a helper like you." The emperor was very pleased: "You are already old, how long can I sit in this position?" ”

"The emperor can sit for at least ten years!" Yan Liu replied meticulously.

"If it was Lu Yi'an, he would say long live me, long live, long live, if the book is like the sea, he would say that I am blessed with the sky, if it is Zhu Ge, he will say that I am old and strong, or you are the most direct!"

Inside the threshold, Zhu Ge's face stiffened slightly, and the hands on his legs touched his thighs awkwardly.

Yan Liu was not complacent about the emperor's unique evaluation, Lu Yi'an was a civil official, Shu Ruhai was a eunuch, Zhu Ge was a guard, and he was a criminal officer.

"Lao Du has already gone to Jingcheng, you go to Shen Ke's hometown to have a look!"

The emperor got up, the creaking rocking chair continued to shake, Yan Liu bowed his head and said yes, the dark blue placket had already floated up, and the emperor strode with his hands in his hands, and the leisurely walk was like walking in his own courtyard.

Zhu Ge hurriedly got up to protect his head, and Yan Liu also sent him off.

Yan Xinglu was returning from the cabinet, because the Yan Mansion was not far from the palace and he had never liked to make a sedan chair, his forehead was full of sweat when he walked back quickly, and his steps were in a hurry.

Seeing his father standing respectfully in front of the mansion and looking into the distance, he looked curiously and saw the familiar back that was flying away.

Looking at his father with black hair dyed with white frost, Yan Xinglu had more surprise in his eyes and more respect in his heart.
