After Xiao He and Chen Ping left, Liu Bang asked people to draw up an edict, and sent an edict to Guan Xiuyan to see him in the front hall of Weiyang Palace tomorrow, and sent someone to post the edict again, and pasted it in the most lively place on Chang'an Avenue. After handling the political affairs, Liu Bang was concerned about the Emperor, and he did not go to the Emperor for a long time, saying that he would rule the world with filial piety, but as the emperor, he did not go to Liyang Palace to visit the Emperor for several days. So he ordered someone to inform all the ladies and beauties of the harem that they would not go to them tonight and would spend the night in Liyang Palace, so they went to the Emperor Taishang with a few eunuchs.

The next day, Guan Xiuyan entered the palace as if nothing had happened.

Liu Bang told him what the ministers had discussed yesterday, Guan Xiuyan immediately darkened, his face became solemn, he didn't think that he would be thrown to the extreme north by the emperor in just a few days, or Yanmen, which almost borders the Xiongnu, where he will be 'patronized' by the Xiongnu from time to time, is it the beginning of his bad luck when he entered the palace before? hasn't helped my sister achieve things yet, is what I did known to the emperor or the queen? If you know, my sister accompanies the emperor every day, the emperor's words and deeds, and his thoughts, will my sister not be able to see it at all? Why is it that he has to be transferred to Yanmen by the emperor? Originally, Guan Xiuyan wanted to ask the emperor why he was transferred to Yanmen, but Liu Bang was strict and high-minded, and the matter was a foregone conclusion, and there was no intention of discussion, he knew better that Liu Bang was not only scolding so lightly, Guan Xiuyan's slightly open mouth was finally tightly closed.

Seeing that Guan Xiuyan was not very happy, Liu Bang just went down the steps and patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, but did not say anything, Guan Xiuyan bowed his head calmly and remained silent. Liu Bang knew that it was useless to talk to him more, and it was for the sake of his life, so he just let him go to Yanmen for a few years, and he would come back to Chang'an to reunite with his sister in a few years.

"Are you leaving, aren't you going to see your sister?" Liu Bang sat on the couch and held a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, pretending to ask Xiuyan in style.

Only then did he come back to his senses, let out an 'oh' sound, slowly raised his hand, and saluted, "Then, the minister is leaving." ”

Liu Bang nodded.

On the way to Linhua Palace, I was not in the mood to look at the towering towers or flower ponds on both sides, but I just walked aimlessly, and my eyes drooped. The pedestrians on both sides saluted him, and he just walked forward as if he didn't see it, and he always couldn't figure out how the emperor could suddenly put him in a place like Yanmen. He is about to leave Chang'an, Chang'an is his comfort nest, he does not worry about food and clothing, and he is carefree, this is his wish in this life. Looking up at the sky, I felt that the sky of Chang'an was so blue, and the air was so fresh and charming, and I was upset when I thought of getting away from Chang'an immediately. Always sigh all the way, I don't care about him anywhere, I haven't seen the shadow of this marquis at all, and I have to move my nest, thinking that I really can't touch anything in the palace, the palace is really like a source of plague.

With full of doubts and complaints to the sister's palace, it just so happened that Mrs. Guan was very interested in fiddling with some winter flowers, full of spring breeze is very gratifying, I think it was a few days ago that the queen encountered an unfortunate thing, but it made Mrs. Guan very happy, she just wanted to give the queen a safe life, so she would live in peace.

Guan Xiuyan came in with a calm face, but Chanxin, who accompanied Mrs. Guan, noticed him coming in first, and said from afar, "Master Xiuyan." ”

Mrs. Guan, who was fiddling with the flowers, stopped her work for a moment, and looked back to see her younger brother standing in the center of the hall, with a gloomy face and a drooping head, very unhappy. Mrs. Guan was shocked at first, at this time, why did her younger brother appear in the palace, the matter on the queen's side has not yet been resolved, how dare he enter the palace, if the queen finds out that everything is due to Guan Xiuyan, then wouldn't the younger brother have no way to live? Approaching him quickly, without any joy, he asked calmly, "Brother, why are you here?" After thinking for a moment, he asked, "The matter was discovered?" ”

Guan Xiuyan was silent, raised his eyes to look at his sister, sighed, and turned to the other side. Mrs. Guan followed, and Mrs. Guan couldn't help but get anxious about her brother's silence, always thinking that something was wrong with the queen, so her brother came to discuss with her. He took his brother's hand and asked anxiously, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The corners of Guan Xiuyan's mouth moved slightly, meeting the gaze of his sister who was eager for an answer, and asked coldly, "Sister really doesn't know?" ”

was stunned, Mrs. Guan's eyes widened even more, and she shook her head with an innocent look of not knowing what was going on.

"The emperor summoned me just now."

"Summoned you?" Mrs. Guan didn't seem to believe it, what did Liu Bang innocently summon a non-official person to do, isn't there something about him? After a long groan, he asked urgently, "Why?" ”

Guan Xiuyan came to the side of several cases in the hall and sat down, put one hand on the cases, and played with the exquisite Lantian white jade carved jade toad on the other hand, and said with a confused look, "The emperor said that I would go to Yanmen to be a county in three days, and set off with General Wang Su. ”

Mrs. Guan sat in front of Guan Xiuyan, listening to what her brother said, cold sweat broke out on her face, her eyes kept rolling nervously, saliva went straight to her throat, and she wanted to pick up the tea on a few cases to drink, but what her hand touched was the inkstone, and she picked up the tea and sent it to her mouth, only to find that the tea was cold. When I came back to my senses, I was annoyed and went to make tea again, and the abnormal performance just now was all frightened.

"Master Hou didn't do it, my brother and I are going to move the nest, and it's the far north." Guan Xiuyan pretended to be unwilling and said.

Mrs. Guan frowned and pondered, she didn't hear what her brother said at this time, she scratched her forehead with a stiff face, scratched the back of her head, and continued to ponder as if she was fascinated.

Hearing that her sister hadn't spoken for a long time, Guan Xiuyan saw that her sister's soul was unstoppable. "Sister-" Guan Xiuyan called Mrs. Guan lightly, and shook her hand in front of her eyes.

Mrs. Guan woke up uneasily, Hua Rong looked at her brother with an embarrassed smile, and said abruptly, "What are you doing?" ”

Guan Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "My sister accompanies the emperor every day, doesn't my sister know anything about the emperor?" Why did you summon your brother into the palace without warning? Guan Xiuyan put his hand on his sister's hand, found that his sister's hand was already cold, and exclaimed, "Why are my sister's hands so cold?" ”

Mrs. Guan smiled indifferently and immediately withdrew her hand, got up and stood and sighed, her eyes were gone, and she seemed to be helpless and said, "My sister never asks about his political affairs, even if she asks, the emperor will not tell her sister, and blame my sister for interfering in politics." ”

Guan Xiuyan's 'Huh? Deflated, a little uneasy and frightened, with a little bit of complaint and reluctance, he got up and came to his sister, and asked in fear, "Can my sister bear to ask my brother to go to Yanmen?" Does my sister know that Yanmen is very close to the Xiongnu? Does my sister know that Yanmen is often 'patronized' by the iron hooves of the Huns? Does my sister want to make my brother panic all day? My younger brother has been gone for a few years, and I haven't even seen my sister's children. ”

Mrs. Guan licked her lips, her eyes suddenly panicked, a trace of inexplicable expression, and she sank into the panic and uneasiness in her heart before comforting herself, "Perhaps, the emperor has his reasons for doing this, and he is wise in politics." Besides, isn't there still General Wang Su? He will take care of you. ”

Guan Xiuyan threw away his arm and said in a loud voice, ", doesn't the emperor know that I don't know a single word?" I can't lead the troops, on what basis, he wants to send me to Yanmen? Sister, the matter about the queen has not been successful, so do you give up like this? When your brother is gone, who will help you succeed? What is the title of the marquis, my younger brother doesn't want it, I beg my sister to talk to the emperor, don't let me go to Yanmen, my younger brother would rather live in Chang'an carefree. He took Mrs. Guan's arm and begged.

was told by her brother and didn't know how to open her mouth, so she had to open her mouth without an idea, unable to speak, which really stumped her. The emperor personally issued an edict, he is not Empress Lu, how can he have the opportunity to win back this game for his younger brother? And a few days ago, the emperor was already dissatisfied with himself and his younger brother, and now he wants to beg the emperor to take back his life for the sake of his younger brother, isn't this looking for scolding? Of course, she knows that Yanmen is bitter, and she is not as chic and happy as Chang'an, but she is also like her younger brother, and she doesn't know why Liu Bang suddenly made such a decision. But she didn't want her brother to stay away from her, which was what she really thought. Now that the younger brother is begging her like this, it happens to be the same as his own intentions, and he is the only one who secretly collects the mistakes made by the queen's family, and it seems that the younger brother cannot go to Yanmen County to take office anyway.

Mrs. Guan took Guan Xiuyan's hand and patted it, and said comfortingly, "Brother, you rest first, my sister will explain it to the emperor." ”

"Do you really know how to speak?" Guan Xiuyan didn't believe it.

"It's true." Mrs. Guan promised.

Guan Xiuyan exhaled a sigh of relaxation as if he had received a promise, and hugged his sister in his arms, but Mrs. Guan was full of embarrassment.
