Chapter Eighty-Four: Something Happened

Chen Yu was sitting in the banquet, talking and laughing with Xu Lang on the side, and when he heard Xue Ji's voice, his face was a little more happy, and he got up to greet him. "Qingzhi is here, take a seat and have a drink with me first!"

Xue Ji also greeted him with a smile, sat down in the banquet, and unconsciously looked at Xu Lang and Ji Baiqing, he was a little surprised, and a little surprised, how could these two people be with Chen Yu...... Didn't you vote for King An?

Chen Yu saw through what Xue Ji was thinking at this time, and the smile on his face inevitably froze slightly. These two people are naturally not under King An, just because they heard that Xue Ji met him earlier in Beijing and had a deep friendship, so he invited these two people today, and even this intention made him misunderstand, which is really chilling.

In a blink of an effort, he smiled back as if nothing had happened, and secretly said that now each is his master, and these things are inevitable in the end, and today he still doesn't talk about business but personal relations.

"Today is only about personal affairs, Qingzhi doesn't need to be so vigilant."

When Xue Ji heard this, he restrained his expression, picked up the wine glass on the table and gestured to the surroundings, then raised his head and drank, turned over the glass, and there was not a drop left, and then put it down and turned to the person. "A few brothers bothered to pick up the wind for me, I really couldn't get out of the way a few days ago, and I was too late to go to the banquet today, I knew that I really shouldn't, this glass of wine is considered to be a reparation!"

This glass of wine seemed to have solved a temporary deadlock, and the servants outside brought a full plate of good dishes to the table, and a singer played and sang in front of them, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

Xue Ji saw that Chen Yu did not mention anything about the DPRK and China, so he slowly pressed the vigilance in his heart, and occasionally made a joke or two, and the embarrassment for a moment was really like it had never happened with the wind.

After Chen Yu laughed, he pretended to be serious, and looked at Xue Ji with a pretending accusation: "I heard that Xue Chen returned to the capital before you, and if you really want him to study in Beijing, you don't know how good it is to let him live in my house, and cultivate a relationship with Hua Du as soon as possible."

Xue Ji laughed when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "How old are the two of them, this cultivates feelings? Don't get tired of it for two years, and don't want it."

A few people around knew that the two families were married, and they were also happy, but they were a little funny in their hearts, as far as the relationship between Xue Ji and Chen Yu was broken now, could it really be maintained until the age when the children in the family were married to men and women?

Chen Yu seemed to be drunk, leaned over to Xue Ji's ear, and said, "Chen Shao has entered the Criminal Department, you can have a little heart."

Xue Jifang had just drunk so many cups, in fact, he didn't have a few taels in his stomach, he was still very sober at this time, and after hearing this, he finally understood what Chen Yu had done in recent days. I was relieved, but at the same time I hesitated.

"Chen Shao is not a climate yet."

Chen Yu chuckled: "He's not a thing in the pool, you didn't see his appearance when he went to court, those eyes are a little more refined than a wolf."

They have all seen what kind of heart Chen Shao is, and with his temper, he must remember the grudge. In the past, I didn't expect him to really be able to enter the ranks, and it seems that sooner or later he will have to compete with each other, and if he doesn't take precautions early, I'm afraid he will have to retaliate.

Xue Ji's clenched fists tightened slightly, and he looked around, the others were either drunk or immersed in wine, and they didn't notice the movement of the two of them, so they nodded casually: "Brother Ziliang has a foresight, thank you."

The night of the wine banquet naturally reached the ears of King Ning and King An, and King Ning was okay, and he was relieved when he heard who were at the table.

It was King An who really put this in his heart and couldn't be at peace, he knew that Chen Yu and Xue Ji were connected to each other, but they were so close, right?

Wang An didn't ask in his heart, and Chen Yu rarely didn't explain, his face seemed to turn the page and passed, what he thought in his heart, who knows.

When the autumn wind blew into Chang'an again, an urgent report came from the southeast.

"There are rogues in the southeast who have invaded Puzhou."

It was only noon, and Xue Jizheng wanted to put down his things and rest for a while, when he heard Zhang Huaien hurrying in the distance, still holding a chicken feather letter in his hand.

Puzhou? It's been a peaceful place for many years, why is there a lot of hooliga again? Xue Ji was puzzled in his heart, so he took the letter and looked at it at a glance, and said casually: "My lord can't be idle, I haven't finished eating."

And they came back?"

Zhang Huaien didn't pay attention to it at all, he picked up the tea that Xue Ji had drunk from the table and poured it into his stomach, and the half-warm and half-cold tea in the cup bottomed out, and he took a breath and said, "The war has started outside, where do I still have the heart to eat."

Xue Jigang read the letter and raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, which saw through it. "You're suffocated, there's been no war in years."

Indeed, as Xue Ji said, it stands to reason that even if there is no major war in the country, this kind of small war should be continuous all year round, not looking forward to war, but if there is no war, this military department will be more idle than the Ministry of Industry.

Zhang Huaien gave him a blank look: "What are you saying, it's like I'm looking forward to a war."

Both of them are like mirrors, it's better not to have a big battle, but a small war can come, it's really too peaceful, and this military department should retire.

Xue Ji put down the letter, picked up the cloak from the back of the chair behind him, picked it up and shook it twice. "You take advantage of the fact that the Chinese Book Province is still free, hurry up and hand over the music, and you won't have time to take care of us later."

Zhang Huaien went to his seat and sat down, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Xue Ji: "Where are you going?".

Xue Ji looked back at him, and said helplessly: "Let's eat, I've been busy all morning, next time you call the people below to do this kind of work."

"Those who can work more, and those who can work more." Zhang Huaien lowered his head and was busy writing a recital, and casually sent him away.

Zhongshu Province is indeed idle at this time, and later it will be the official document handed over by the states and counties outside Beijing, it is the late autumn when the winter is about to begin, the first round of heavy snow falls, and there is a lot of news of famine, so where can I take care of the war in the southeast at that time? After a few months of shelf, the rogues all stopped, and the military department had to live in peace for another year.

The news was delivered in a timely manner, and in the early morning of the next morning, Qin Heng pulled out this article for the first time, and when he read it to the hundred officials, his expression was serious, and he couldn't distinguish joy and anger.

Xue Ji didn't worry much about this, the southeast stream is mostly hidden in the islands in the sea, if it can be self-sufficient, it will not provoke the imperial court, this time he rushed to find the battle, it is very likely that there will be a shortage of food in winter, and there is no need to alarm the surrounding local officers and soldiers, just with the strength of Puzhou, it is enough.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, it was still calm, no one took it seriously, and the military department finally found something to do, and it was time to celebrate.

Qin Heng put down the song and glanced at Zhang Huaien: "Zhang Aiqing has to worry a lot, it's almost winter, don't keep this kind of thing for the New Year."

Zhang Huaien responded, "Obey." , I can't hide the smile on my face.

All the officials know it in their hearts, and no one is idle to trouble him here. The next thing is not a trivial matter, this year the first snow fell in the northeast, this snow is still getting bigger and bigger, two or three counties have been affected, counting on the imperial court to help.

"The snow came early this year, right?" Chen Yu couldn't help frowning.

In the event of a famine, it must be the household department that is busy, although it is like this every year, he has been used to it in the household department for so many years, and the household department has been prepared, but he never expected that this year would be half a month earlier than in previous years......

"Late autumn has always been bitterly cold in the northeast, and this year, although the snow fell early, it is not unusual." Qin Heng's expression remained unchanged, he pressed the note, his gaze swept over the ministers in the hall, and said in a deep voice.

It is not difficult for sharp-eyed people to notice that his face is slightly pale, and he doesn't know what the reason is, but he just sees through it and doesn't say it, and the three or two of them exchanged glances in private, but they didn't dare to say it.

Several adults in the household department discussed it, and agreed to transport the grain hoarded in Beijing to disaster relief first, and then negotiated the details, during which Qin Heng did not look at it, and his head was lowered more and more.

Chen Yu stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, looked at Qin Heng at the top, and frowned. "Your Majesty?"

Qin Heng didn't seem to hear it, and lowered his head and didn't react.

The ministers of the court looked at each other, and the surrounding discussion subsided a little, and Chen Yu raised his voice again and called again, "Your Majesty?"

Still no response.

Something is wrong.
