Bai Hanyan's white brocade robe was stained with blood, the sleeves were shortened, her hair was messy, and she looked a little embarrassed, she looked up at the sun leaking down from the window screen of the flower boat, and the smile on her face gradually hooked, just like the beautiful scenery in the river: "I know, but this boulder has fallen into the lake, and it can't be recovered, I just want to see it, it will startle a few fish." ”

The smile on Duan Changge's face gradually dissipated, and his eyes staring at Bai Hanyan were a little vigilant and scrutinizing, Bai Hanyan was a little shocked by his eyes, and said, "Duan Changge, why are you looking at me like this." ”

Duan Changge lowered his expression, hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that you should have stayed in the capital in the first place, and you shouldn't have gone to Guiyang Mansion to be a little pusher." ”

After that, she stood up and walked out of the cabin, Bai Hanyan was slightly stunned, her eyes fell on his long back, and she pursed her lips, she knew that Duan Changge was beginning to doubt her purpose for coming to Guiyang.

When the two of them returned to the inner hall of the Beijing Post House one after the other, Li Chengdu looked at Bai Hanyan with a frightened face, covered in blood, with broken sleeves to reveal his wrapped arm, and exclaimed: "Han Yan, why are you injured?" ”

In the blink of an eye, when he saw Duan Changge walking out from behind her, he was even more surprised, and opened his mouth exaggeratedly and said, "Lord Duan, why did you come to Jingshi too?" ”

Duan Changge wrapped his arms around him, leaned on the façade of the post house, and hooked his lips defiantly: "Why, this Jingshi, you can come, and I Duan Changge can't come?" ”

Li Chengdu was startled, and hurriedly bowed and shook his head, Qiao Chu Xunsheng walked out of the room but saw that the person who came was Duan Changge, his eyebrows and eyes stretched slightly, and he bowed to him and said, "Xiaguan see Lord Duan." ”

Duan Changge's eyes condensed on him for a moment, and the smile on his lips deepened: "It doesn't seem that it is surprising that Chief Qiao is here to see this official. ”

Qiao Chu smiled at him and said, "Xia Guan just feels that Lord Duan will not let Han Tuiguan have an accident, so he has a faint conjecture. ”

Duan Changge raised his chin slightly, smiling without saying a word.

At this time, all the post house up and down to the hall knelt on the ground, the steward's body trembled, this post house was originally a place for officials to change horses, and it was reasonable to live in a few small officials, never came to such a big official, but never saw a second-class officer!

When dignitaries come to Beijing, there will usually be a royal pavilion, how to come back here, everyone was thinking about how to speak, but saw Duan Changge wave his hand and said: "There are not so many rules, this official has a mansion in the capital, and he is just here to accompany Han Tuiguan to pack up his things." After that, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Hanyan on the side and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, do you want this official to clean up for you in person." ”

Bai Hanyan turned his head to look at him, frowning and puzzled: "Why should I go to the mansion with you?" ”

Duan Changge took a step towards her, approached her and said, "In order to keep you alive." ”

After that, he raised his hand and beckoned to Li Chengdu, and said, "You go and clean up for her, this official doesn't have so much patience to wait, and take out her official clothes." ”

Bai Hanyan saw that his brows were furrowed even tighter, and he exclaimed, "What are you doing with your official clothes?" ”

Duan Changge's face was full of contempt, he glanced at her, and sneered: "Don't you want to take Lin Zhifan's file?" ”

Bai Hanyan suddenly, now there is only one way to enter the palace to face the holy request, Jinyiwei is not like Dali Temple, the file has entered his book library, I am afraid it will not be able to take it out.

After Bai Hanyan and Duan Changge left, Qiao Chu stood at the door and looked at the direction they left, the smile lines on the corners of his mouth became deeper and deeper: "Duan Changge, if you come to the capital, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back." ”

At the door of the imperial study, the eunuch Ding You saw Duan Changge with a big salute, and said with a smile on his face: "Yo, General Dragon and Tiger, the slave family hasn't seen your heroic appearance for a long time, and Your Majesty has often talked about you these days, but I didn't expect that Lord Duan would really enter Beijing." ”

Duan Changge's big red official robe was wide and his sleeves were lowered, he tilted his head slightly, squinted his eyes, and smiled at the shrewd chamberlain, and said: "Your Majesty Lao is worried, and Weichen also misses the saint's tightness, as soon as he enters Beijing, he wants to come to see him, is Your Majesty in good health?" ”

"Okay, okay." Ding You laughed a few times, and said with a huff: "Master Duan, wait a minute, the slave family will go to Tongyu." ”

After that, he turned around and pushed open the door of the imperial study, and after a while, several chamberlains opened the finch red door of the imperial study, and Ding You bowed down and walked out with a smile: "Lord Duan, Your Majesty was very happy to hear that you were coming, and ordered the slave family to let you in." ”

Ding You paused, glanced at the white cold smoke behind Duan Changge, and said in a low voice: "Han Tuiguan, the emperor asked you to go in too." ”

Bai Hanyan lowered his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

In the imperial study, the incense burner was surrounded by ambergris, Emperor Yongle bowed his head to review the chapter after the dragon case, Duan Changge walked in front, and Bai Hanyan did not dare to trespass behind him.

Duan Changge knelt down and kowtowed under the dragon case, and said loudly: "Weichen Duan Changge see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Bai Hanyan knelt behind him, and also said loudly: "Weichen Han Yan see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

The emperor put down the fold in his hand, looked up at them behind the dragon case, and said, "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

Bai Hanyan slowly got up and stood on the side behind Duan Changge, now that she was close to the emperor, now she saw the emperor's appearance clearly, Emperor Yongle was over sixty years old, he was an extremely thin old man, even if he was sitting on the thick dragon chair, he still felt a little rickety in his back, it looked like a candle in the wind, but the two sharp points that burst out of his cloudy eyes were extremely sharp.

At this moment, Emperor Yongle curled his white eyebrows, looked at Duan Changge, and said with a kind smile: "Duan Aiqing, I haven't seen you for a long time, you finally miss me, a lonely person!" ”

Duan Changge's eyebrows flew into his sideburns, his eyes were black and white and extremely bright, at this time, he was full of sharpness in the past, his side was like a spring breeze, warm as jade, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of gentle smiles: "Your Majesty has thousands of people, Weichen has been in Guiyang for a long time, and a peaceful state can be seen everywhere, everyone sings praises to the emperor for his wisdom, where will Your Majesty be alone." ”

Ding You, the chamberlain beside him, pursed his lips and chuckled at the emperor's side, bowed down and smiled at the emperor: "Lord Duan's mouth is like being smeared with honey, but Lord Duan is often among the people, and what he said and saw should be true." ”

Emperor Yongle raised his head and laughed, he was very useful to his words, and said with a smile: "Duan Aiqing, you have been governing the land of South China for me in Guiyang Mansion all these years, it is really hard for you, you will not blame me for banishing you to such a remote place." ”

Emperor Yongle said this slowly, and a sharp light suddenly burst out from his cloudy eyes, sinking down on Duan Changge's body, and the rhythm of his speech became even slower: "However, if you don't support me by my side, I have no bottom in my heart." “

Duan Changge's hand in his sleeve paused slightly, and the expression on his face still smiled faintly: "Wei Chen is worried about His Majesty wherever he is, if His Majesty misses Changge, Changge can often come back to see you like this." “

The emperor smiled and said, "I really want to transfer you back to the capital and accompany me!" ”

Duan Changge knelt down suddenly, his face was a little frightened, Bai Hanyan also knelt down with him, but he thought coldly about their words and deeds, it seems that the relationship between the emperor and Duan Changge is not so simple, and Duan Changge at this moment is what he said is a sign of weakness.

"Weichen is wild and can't stand the restraints, and the rules in the officialdom are afraid that Weichen can't accept it, Your Majesty don't have to be embarrassed for a long song."

Emperor Yongle narrowed his eyes slightly, then laughed repeatedly, turned his head and Ding You seemed to be joking with Duan Changge, and said: "I just said something casually, you see that he was scared, it seems that I have become accustomed to his temperament, it's just that, I can't keep him." ”

Ding You echoed and said, "Lord Duan is training soldiers and horses for His Majesty in Guiyang, and he is also sharing His Majesty's worries." ”

The emperor smiled with satisfaction and said, "Yes, Duan Aiqing, get up quickly,"

"Your Majesty." Duan Changge stood up and pursed his lips at Emperor Yongle and chuckled, "I can't change my temperament." ”

Emperor Yongle had a smile in his eyes, and his eyes inadvertently slid towards Bai Hanyan, who had been lowering his eyebrows behind Duan Changge, and his smile deepened: "Duan Aiqing, your subordinates are loyal to you, but this bold temperament and a sharp tooth are also with you." ”

Duan Changge glanced at Bai Hanyan behind him, and sneered: "It's all laissez-faire from the lower officials, in the past, when she was in Guiyang Mansion, her eyes lit up when she saw the suspicious case, and Weichen also followed her, but she didn't expect to be so uneasy when she arrived in Jingshi, and she dared to grab Jinyiwei's job, alas!" ”

Duan Changge shook his head helplessly, and sighed repeatedly, but his eyes were full of affection.

Emperor Yongle pursed his lips and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, this has been entangled with the case for a long time, since you, a little official, want to investigate, let her follow." ”

"It's just that I'm a little bit of a timid official, and I don't dare to go to Jinyiwei's file to ask for Lin Zhifan, and I have to stand up for her." Duan Changge turned his head to look at Bai Hanyan, his eyes were indulgent and pampered, but he seemed to sigh helplessly.

The emperor looked at him suddenly, stretched out his hand to pat the dragon case, and said in a low voice: "Look at my memory, I am really old, how can I forget this stubble, Lin Zhifan's case is not in Dali Temple, but in Jinyiwei." Ding You, go and tell Ji Bangyue and ask him to send someone to send Lin Zhifan's file to Han Aiqing to the post house. ”

Ding You repeatedly promised and turned around to leave, but Duan Changge raised his hand to stop him and said, "Gonggong Ding, let Master Ji send me to my previous mansion in the capital, and she lives with me now." ”

Ding You was stunned, glanced at Bai Hanyan, then reacted, pursed his lips and chuckled, bowed down and retreated.

Emperor Yongle glanced at Bai Hanyan inquiringly, as if he understood something, but he didn't break it, just teased: "I didn't expect Duan Aiqing to care so much about this little official, and he actually maintained it everywhere." ”

Duan Changge chuckled and was silent.

After a pause, the emperor suddenly shouted at Bai Hanyan, who had been looking down behind him: "Raise your head!" ”
