"Childe, the emperor is here."

There are two days left before the Lantern Festival. In the past few days, in order to get himself out of the court as soon as possible, Gu Caizhi has stayed in the Criminal Department all day and night to deal with the backlog of cases in the Criminal Department. And Lian Qingjue, whose body had slowly improved, felt that it was boring to be alone in the house, so he had just had lunch, and wanted to risk being scolded by Gu Caizhi to go to the Criminal Department to find him, but he didn't want to hear Fan Yao's voice suddenly at this time.

"Got it."

The hand that was already dressed and was tying the cloak paused, Lian Qingjue gently pulled the corners of his mouth, and then took off the cloak and handed it to Fan Yao.

"Lian Qing, have you been in good health lately? I have been busy with government affairs these days, and I have never found time to visit Lian Qing, Lian Qing is not strange! ”

Here, as soon as Fan Yao hung his son-in-law's cloak on the shelf, Feng Yusheng walked in in civilian clothes.

"See the emperor."

"You're not in good health, don't be polite."

Seeing Lian Qingjue leaning over and saluting, Feng Yusheng hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, then sat on the chair and looked at him quietly.

"Lian Qing is going out?"

"Yes."

Even Qingjue sat down silently beside Feng Yusheng, and then gave Fan Yao a look, and Fan Yao bowed and retreated.

"I've been staying in this house for the past few days, and I'm about to stuff the minister, and the minister sees that the weather outside is very good today, so he wants to go out for a walk."

"Haha, that's not the right time for me to come."

Feng Yusheng had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of a different emotion in the depths of the smile, and even Qingjue couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

"The emperor is serious."

Lifting the teapot on the table and pouring a cup of tea in front of Feng Yusheng, Lian Qingjue asked:

"What is the important thing for the emperor to come today?"

"Alas, there is indeed something that needs Lian Qing's help."

Feng Yusheng sighed, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Although Lian Qingjue had already guessed Feng Yusheng's intentions, his expression was as usual.

"I think you have heard Gu Qing say that I have sent General Yang Zhaojun to lead the troops to Luoyan City. This Luoyan City is the adjacent place of my Yu country and Boyan country, and it is also a place where soldiers have always competed. I plan to take advantage of Bo Yanguo's unpreparedness and catch him off guard. ”

Feng Yusheng said while secretly observing Lian Qingjue's expression.

"But because there are officials in the court who are in charge of peace and don't want to start a war with Bo Yanguo, in recent days, the situation in the court has been a little unstable, and as soon as General Yang leaves, there is no one else to rely on in the government and the opposition except for Lian Qing and Gu Qing."

"What does the emperor mean?"

Even Qingjue still had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Feng Yusheng.

"I also know that Lian Qing is recovering from a serious injury, but I still hope that Lian Qing can put the overall situation first and help me suppress the court."

"The affairs of the court are related to the stability of the country, and it is the duty of the ministers to clean up the court."

Lian Qingjue lowered his head and straightened his sleeves.

"But now that the minister is seriously injured and has an old disease, I am afraid that he has the heart and is powerless."

"Lian Qing ......"

Seeing that Lian Qingjue was still smiling, Feng Yusheng slowly frowned.

"I will let all the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital be at your disposal to help you recuperate. And if Lian Qing wants to do anything, you don't have to come forward yourself, I can send the Royal Forest Army to assist you. ”

"Ahem......"

Lian Qingjue coughed lightly, then quickly picked up the cup in front of him and drank a few sips of water, and at this time, Fan Yao knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in.

"See the Emperor."

"What is this?"

Looking at the box in Fan Yao's hand, Feng Yusheng suppressed the anger that was growing in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this is the official seal of the minister."

Lian Qingjue took the box from Fan Yao's hand, waved Fan Yao to retreat, and then placed the box in front of Feng Yusheng.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are unwilling to contribute their allegiance to the court, but it's really the minister's body that doesn't fight for it, so it's ......"

"Lian Qing, this is already a decision?"

From the moment Lian Qingjue said that the contents of the box were official seals, Feng Yusheng understood what he meant.

"Please also ask the emperor to forgive your sins."

Even Qing Jue ignored Feng Yusheng's obviously raised voice, got up and knelt down towards Feng Yusheng.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Feng Yu was extremely angry, said three good words in a row, and then flicked his sleeves and got up to leave.

……

"Childe."

After Feng Yusheng left, Fan Yao hurriedly walked in and helped Lian Qingjue up.

"Nothing."

Lian Qingjue stroked his chest.

"Caizhike is back?"

"Not yet."

Fan Yao poured a cup of hot tea again and handed it to his son-in-law.

"Seeing that this hour is still early, presumably Master Gu will be back in a while."

"Hmm."

Lian Qingjue nodded and slowly drank the tea in his hand, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Does that son still want to go to the criminal department?"

"I'm not going."

Looking at the slightly dim light outside through the window paper, Lian Qingjue shook his head and put the cup down, fortunately the emperor came just now, otherwise if he really went to the Criminal Department, Gu Caizhi's fool was afraid that he would beat people in front of his colleagues.

"Then you want to ask Mr. Qin to take a look? The subordinates felt that Childe's face didn't look good. ”

Fan Yao observed Xia Lian Qingjue's even paler complexion and said.

"No need."

Lian Qingjue thought for a moment, then rubbed his forehead.

"You go and write back to Ah Wan now, and tell her that we may have to delay a few days before we can meet them, otherwise I'm afraid they will be in a hurry."

"How many days to delay?"

Fan Yao was a little surprised, but then remembered the anger he felt when the emperor left just now.

"But the emperor is embarrassed again?"

"Not really."

Lian Qingjue shook his head.

"But today I took out the official seal, the emperor will not not understand what I mean, although he didn't say anything at the time, but I always feel that he will not let me go easily."

"If your subordinates say that since the prince has made up his mind to leave, he shouldn't say this in front of the emperor. The emperor takes such a fancy to you, why would he let you leave? ”

Fan Yao stood there, a little puzzled.

"Heh, I'm just betting on the last bit of love between us."

Lian Qingjue smiled bitterly, with a hint of heaviness in his heart and a hint of relief. The battle between Yu and Bo Yan, because of the civil turmoil in Bo Yan, Yu is already in sight, and the officials in the DPRK and China will not be unaware, so Feng Yusheng's so-called chaos in the court is just an excuse to test himself. This excuse is not clever, but the emperor is gambling, and he is also gambling, the emperor bets that he will not care about the friendship of the monarch and the minister to continue to serve him, and whether he will bet on the emperor to see the friendship between the two in the past and promise to leave. But the result is obvious, in this game, both of them lost, and what the two lost was not only a gamble, but also their friendship with each other.
