Chapter 366: Farewell
After Yuan Zhenhuan left, Xiao Yan in the imperial study began to review the folds.
Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.
At this time, Changguang County in the south was suddenly flooded, and the county guard of Changguang County Zeng Ruming wrote more than ten excerpts in a row to ask the court for disaster relief.
Xiao Yan put those disaster relief folds in front of him, and he read them all, but he hadn't read them with a red pen yet.
After a while, Xiao Yan, who was slightly upset, pushed aside the piles of folds.
At this time, Chao Qi, who had returned from the imperial dining room, happened to bring a bowl of spoon to him.
"Your Majesty, you first drink a bowl of soup and rest for a while." Chaoqi said softly.
For the habits of the old emperor, Chaoqi, who has served for decades, knows everything about it.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful, the sweetness entered his throat, which could relieve his sorrows.
After eating two bites, Xiao Yan said lightly, "Little Seventh Son, go to Yilian Hall and invite Senior Song over."
Hearing this, Chao Qi hurriedly responded, "The old slave obeys."
Chao Qi also knew about the Song seniors in the emperor's mouth, but Chao Qi had always had lingering feelings about this senior.
And the more time goes on, the more so.
This Song senior's real name is Song Zhen, and he is also one of the worshippers of the imperial court, and his status in the palace is second only to Yuan Zhenhuan.
But unlike Yuan Zhenhuan, Song Zhen has no mundane affairs, and he rarely shows up in the deep palace on weekdays.
Although this senior Song is a woman, she can't tell her actual age, and secondly, she still has a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see everything, so Chao Qi doesn't dare to deal with her on weekdays.
The Yilian Hall where Song Zhen lives is a special courtyard approved by the emperor, and it is actually relatively remote in the palace. But on weekdays, without the permission of Song Zhen himself, no one is allowed to approach the other courtyard, including the emperor.
Chao Qi remembered that many years ago, two palace maids ran in by mistake, and they never saw them again.
Although Song Zhen's identity is one line lower than Yuan Zhenhuan on the surface, Chao Qi can see that His Majesty has two completely different attitudes in front of this Song senior and Yuan Zhenhuan.
For the Song seniors, His Majesty seems to have more respect.
With a little apprehension, he walked all the way to Yilian Hall and stopped, and he asked the porter to inform the Song senior that it was His Majesty the Emperor who had summoned him.
After Chao Qi finished speaking, even if the young porter beckoned him to come in and sit down, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he just smiled and said that he was waiting outside the door.
The porter saw that he couldn't help it, so he had to call his own adult first.
Soon after, the young porter returned, and with him came the senior Song Zhen.
Although even the old emperor has to call her a senior, in fact, this court worshippers and looks very young.
After seeing Chaoqi, Song Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at it, Song Zhen knew that he was the eunuch next to the emperor, but he had not seen him for many years and was very old. Subsequently, Song Zhen politely addressed the father-in-law of the court.
When Chao Qi heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Lord Song, Your Majesty asked me to invite you to the imperial study."
After Chao Qi finished speaking, he still lowered his head and didn't dare to collide with Song Zhen's eyes.
Song Zhen nodded, "I see. Then go back and pass the word to your father-in-law, and I'll be there later."
Chao Qi replied when he heard this, and then retreated silently, he didn't dare to look up at it from beginning to end.
Although His Majesty the Emperor never said the details of this Song senior, Chao Qi vaguely guessed that she was not an ordinary person.
When Chao Qi returned to the imperial study from Yilian Palace, he found that the original folds in front of the emperor were still intact, and Chao Qi knew that the emperor was in a bad mood now. He didn't want to bother more, so he took a few steps forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, Senior Song, she will come in a while."
Saying that, Chao Qi naturally stepped forward to clean up the empty bowl in front of the emperor, and then slowly withdrew from the imperial study without His Majesty opening his mouth. Chao Qi knew that His Majesty the Emperor liked to be alone when he was in turmoil, either pacing back and forth or going to the highest part of the imperial city to blow the wind.
Chao Qizi would not be too far away, and after giving the dishes and chopsticks to the others, he continued to wait outside the room, so as not to disturb the emperor
Later, if His Majesty opened his mouth to call him, he would hear it immediately.
As a minister and a slave, Chao Qi never felt that he had done enough, he was afraid that he would not do enough.
Not long after, that senior Song came to the imperial study alone, and after seeing Xiao Yan, Song Zhen said directly, "Why did Your Majesty call me here?"
After seeing Song Zhen, the sorrow on Xiao Yan's face was relieved a lot, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Senior Song, please sit down. I didn't want to disturb my seniors, but today I really can't be calm, so I want to ask my seniors to come and calculate a hexagram for me."
Hearing this, Song Zhen asked rhetorically, "Your Majesty, but what happened recently?"
Xiao Yanzi didn't hide it, and then he briefly told Song Zhen what had happened recently, and said everything that could be said and what could not be said.
After hearing this, Song Zhen slowly asked, "Are these things still related to that person last time?"
The person in Song Zhen's mouth was Xiao Huai'an, who had been in Jinyilang's prison, because Song Zhen had also seen it, so she still had an impression, but she was instructed by Xiao Yan at that time and did not do anything to Xiao Huai'an.
Xiao Yan said, "For the time being, it has nothing to do with Huai'an, but this time the matter is very involved."
Seeing this, Song Zhen said bluntly: "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that you know more about court affairs than me, but this time you are not too indecisive."
Song Zhen's words were not harsh, just telling the truth.
When Xiao Yan heard this, he immediately said, "If Senior Song has any advice, please make it clear."
Song Zhen said coldly: "Your Majesty, since you are the Son of Heaven and are ordered by Heaven, why are you afraid of making more killings, you would not be like this back then. Is it true that because of the Dharma Purdue, I have forgotten the feeling of killing?"
Xiao Yan laughed at himself when he heard this: "The seniors laughed, the reason why I am indecisive is just to leave a stable country for future generations, and also to leave more usable people."
Song Zhen smiled when he heard this: "Then dare to ask Your Majesty, can those people really stay? In my opinion, it is possible not to go north, but people must be killed."
After Song Zhen finished speaking, Xiao Yan lowered his head and was silent.
Homicide? He hadn't thought of it like this, even now he still had such a thought in his heart.
Song Zhen saw that Xiao Yan was thinking about it, so he said again: "Your Majesty, the world today is no longer the world of the previous dynasty, you don't need to look at the faces of those big families. When the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed, and thousands of miles of blood are shed, and there is no need for a reason."
Xiao Yan took a step back and said, "But senior, the influence of the Jiangnan Shi clan is still very large, and it will not be good if I act too aggressively."
Song Zhen sneered: "When it is extraordinary, you should do extraordinary things, if the Jiangnan Shi clan is disobedient and killed. As long as some people die, their so-called Jiangnan Shi clan will be stable."
Some evil thoughts, not without them, but only one kick away from the door.
After Song Zhen finished speaking, he raised his hand and pinched a liuren, and simply made a hexagram.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly asked, "Senior, how is the hexagram?"
Song Zhen said lightly: "The situation is not bad, but there must be some twists and turns."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan lowered his head and thought for a moment before he said earnestly, "Senior, this time I may have to trouble you again."
"Yuan Zhenhuan can't solve it?" Song Zhen asked rhetorically.
Xiao Yan said: "There are some things that are still handled by my seniors, and I am more relieved."
Song Zhen didn't ask any more questions when she heard this, and she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take action if necessary."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan got up and bowed, "Then there is Senior Lao Song."
The Son of Heaven gave such a big gift, Song Zhen did not stop it and even accepted it happily. Song Zhen looked at Xiao Yan's leaning body and suddenly laughed, "Xiao Yan, you are old."
did not call His Majesty any longer, and it seemed that at this moment the two had turned back into old friends.
Xiao Yan was not surprised when he heard this, and he also smiled: "I'm old, but you're still the same as before."
When Xiao Yan was in the Yuan, Song Zhen contributed a lot, and when he inherited the unification and had the strength, there were fewer places where Song Zhen was needed.
I don't know how many years have passed like this, and Xiao Yan has begged her again.
Song Zhen smiled, "Strive to live a few more years, don't
Died too quickly. I can help you heal the worldly diseases, but I can't do such a life-changing way as to continue your life."
Xiao Yan didn't care about anything, he smiled indifferently: "In this life, I met my predecessors and became emperors again, and I don't pray for anything else. After my death, if my predecessors take a fancy to which mountain in Nanliang and inform the successor emperor, you will be free after I die."
It's been so many years, but in fact, the word freedom is not so important to Song Zhen.
Song Zhen smiled slightly when she heard this, she raised her arm and touched Xiao Yan's head in the air, if such a move was seen by others, it would be a big rebellion.
But Xiao Yan only smiled faintly when he saw this, the senior is still the predecessor and he is no longer the same person he was back then.
Not long after that, Song Zhen left, and the reason why she stayed in the palace was for Xiao Yan, but the young boy back then was now in his twilight years.
"Xiao Yan, that Xiao Huai'an still needs to pay attention, don't forget how his parents died. Don't think he didn't know when he was young, Yuzhang County is not far away, you can send someone to investigate." After speaking, Song Zhen left without looking back.
Xiao Yan got up and leaned over and gave up his hands just like when he was young, in Xiao Yan's eyes, his predecessors were omnipotent, and he always was.
The rain that had been delayed in the morning fell in the afternoon, that is, not long after Shen Guo arrived at the palace.
When Dongfang Mao took Shen Guo to the hall, Xu Yanran and Xiao Xiang were there, and after not seeing each other for several days, Xu Yanran's perception of Shen Guo changed a lot, and Xiao Xiang had a lot of complicated feelings in his heart when he saw Shen Guo again.
"Shen Gongzi." Both of them greeted Shen after seeing him.
Seeing this, Dongfang Mao told Shen Kuangyu Wanli very interestingly, where he went, and said that Xinghua's words could be gone in person when he was done.
Shen Kuang also greeted each of them after seeing the two.
After Dongfang Mao left, it was Xu Yanran who opened his mouth first, "Shen Gongzi, please take a seat."
After Shen Guan sat down, he also told the two of them the purpose of his visit, "Miss Xu, Miss Xiao. I'm going to leave Jinling tomorrow, so I'm here to say goodbye to the two seniors today."
Shen was also straightforward, directly saying that it was not because the two of them came to the palace.
Xu Yanran didn't mind, she heard the words and said, "I haven't personally thanked Shen Gongzi for sacrificing himself to save me last time, just today Yanran thanked Shen Gongzi for saving his life."
As she spoke, Xu Yanran leaned over slightly and bowed.
Seeing this, Shen Guan hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Xu Yanran, "Miss Xu can't help it, the two seniors have already told me about the last time, and I have also been rewarded, Miss Xu doesn't have to be like this anymore."
Xu Yanran slowly got up after giving the salute and said, "Yanran had some misunderstandings with Shen Gongzi before, and Yanran is also here to apologize to Shen Gongzi."
Shen Jing said softly, "Those were all misunderstandings before, Miss Xu just forgot about it."
Shen didn't care about most of the things, and he didn't remember the last rescue.
After briefly talking to Xu Yanran, Shen Jing looked at Xiao Xiang again, the two were familiar with each other, and they had walked together again, and now it seems that they are not far apart.
Xiao Xiang spoke first, "Yanran, I want to talk to Shen Gongzi alone for a while."
Although Xu Yanran didn't know why her sister was like this, she still left the space to the two of them.
