Chu Nan looked at the letter of the Queen of Vasai, and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with a little headache, although he provoked the queen at the beginning, but it was only ambiguous, and he would not be so narcissistic as to think that this time the northwest countries came to pay tribute to Daliang because the queen wanted to come to Daliang to make trouble for herself, after all, now Vasai is faintly the top power in the northwest, and that queen is not the poor widow who held her child and cried at night anyway, she would not be so childish, this action must be motivated by political considerations.

The envoy who was very courteous in Daliang bowed his head humbly, and he was like two people messing around in front of Sun Ke.

Although he never knew the true identity of the person in front of him, the successive secret orders of His Majesty the Queen were enough to explain the problem, if the person in front of him was really the legendary big man, if he accidentally went wrong and angered this person, death would not be a good death.

Chu Yuan was on his mind, did not talk and talk about friendship with his colleagues as usual, and when he went out of the palace to see the low-eyed Vasai envoy, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, this envoy from Vasai has recently been very famous in the capital, humble and courteous in front of Emperor Liang, and the means of patting the sycophants simply embarrassed countless old oilmen in the officialdom, but in private he is lustful and likes to mess around, and recently he has been so worried that the hair of Sun Ke, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has turned a lot whiter, and he has jumped to scold his mother in public more than once.

Chu Nan saw Chu Yuan come out, put the letter away, and said impatiently to the messenger of Nawasai: "I haven't been free recently, let's eat in a few days, you go back first, I'll let someone inform you when I have time." ”

Chu Yuan's heart jumped, he walked a few steps quickly and stopped, the cunning Vasai envoy did not get angry this time, but always had a flattering smile, which was even more humble than in front of Emperor Liang.

The envoy of Nawasai is the queen's confidant, otherwise he would not have been sent to Daliang, and naturally he had heard the ambiguous rumors of Vasai's ruthless foreign prince and His Majesty the Queen, seeing that Chu Nan was in a bad mood, he naturally didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left, and did not forget to bow down to Chu Yuan, who walked closer.

This is the father of the big man, and there must be nothing wrong with patting the sycophants more.

Chu Yuan didn't dare to slack off on this Vasai envoy, and whispered a few polite words, and waited until the messenger left in a hurry, and said to Chu Nan, who had a somewhat strange face: "Go, go back with me." ”

............................................................................................................... Chu Yuan used to be the commander in charge of the palace guards, and he was still powerful, and he was a favorite minister above the court today.

After all, he is the minister of the court and the head of the Chu family, Chu Yuan's carriage is naturally one top and one good, whether it is first-class in terms of decoration or style, it seems that it is not Chu Yuan, who has always cared about material enjoyment, but most likely from the hands of the Chu family, who is very good at fashion and trends.

The carriage was very spacious, and it drove very smoothly, without any bumps at all, but Chu Nan sat extremely uncomfortable, and instead of looking at Chu Yuan, who wanted to talk and stopped, he seemed to be very interested in the carriage.

Chu Yuan looked at Chu Nan with a faint expression, and said softly: "If you like it, let Zhao Jiu customize another one, and you will have to go out to meet guests in the future, and you can use it." ”

Chu Nan shook his head and refused: "Forget it, I'm just a petty official, it's too ostentatious to go out and take such a carriage, and I will be scolded." ”

Chu Yuan knew that Chu Nan was talking about Guo Huai's scolding in the court today, shook his head, and said to Chu Nan: "From the Liupin Rite Department member Wailang, although the power is worse than that of the Yamen such as the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, but after all, you have little qualifications, and you have already been promoted by His Majesty as an exception. And this is not the kind of errand with a surname last time I went to Jiangnan, as long as I do it well, my official rank will only get higher and higher in the future. ”

The Ministry of Rites is considered to be weak among the six ministries after all, and the scope of its jurisdiction has some weight in the imperial examination, and nothing else is nothing, Sun Cao's status in the court is more than two grades worse than Chu Yuan and Hubu Shangshu Qian Fu, not to mention Chu Nan, a junior with shallow qualifications.

Chu Nan naturally understood that he didn't care much about this etiquette member, but he was very surprised that Chu Yuan was so solemn.

Chu Yuan's relationship with Chu Nan was very tense some time ago, and these sons Yangmei and Chu Yue worked hard in it, which eased up a lot, but now that the father and son are going home in the same car for the first time, they can't open their mouths if they want to say some words of care and encouragement, maybe from childhood to adulthood, Chu Nan has shown too much reading ability.

After all, he has been in a high position for a long time, and it is obviously difficult to get Chu Yuan to put down his shelf and take the initiative to ease relations with Chu Nan, Chu Yuan saw that Chu Nan did not mean to take the initiative to speak, so he put away his thoughts and talked about business:

"This time, Queen Vasai took a wonderful move to the extreme, and at this time, moving closer to the beam can't help but not arouse His Majesty's habitual suspicion, and also make His Majesty happy, this queen's wisdom should not be underestimated. Now that Vasai is in the northwest, Daliang is unable to fight again in the short term, so he can only win over. Also, when you receive envoys from all over the world, you can put six points of your mind on Vasai, as long as Vasai submits, and the other wall grass is not to worry. Now the Vasai envoy is extremely cunning and cunning, not like an envoy of a country, but more like a Diao people, for him, you have to bear with him in a timely manner, and when you should swallow your anger, you will restrain your unruly surname. ”

Chu Nan twisted his body a little unaccustomedly, and felt very twisted at Chu Yuan's ear and face, and agreed in a low voice.

Chu Yuan was actually a little resistant to Chu Nan taking such accusations, and he didn't speak out against it, half because he felt that he owed Chu Nan a little in the past, and half because his father-in-law Guo Huai was too much, and there were no outsiders at this time, but he couldn't wait to instill all his political wisdom into Chu Nan, and took out some strength to mention Chu An, and continued: "Your Majesty also said that you won't have anything to do recently, and when the envoys from all parties arrive, Sun Ke will most likely take time out." Don't worry, with me watching, Sun Cao doesn't dare to use you as a gun. ”

After all, he is a very powerful minister, even when it comes to Sun Ke, one of the six Shangshu, he also takes it to heart, and continues: "Although you have less experience, but there is Sun Kao above to naturally reduce a lot of pressure, and if you have time, you can talk to your eldest brother Chu Mad more, he has been in the northwest for a long time, and the things in his head are much more useful than what you see in books, and the Yang family, although the Yang family has moved to the capital now, but Yu Wei is still in the northwest, and it can be beneficial to you to ask for advice more." These are advantages that others can't envy, and you have to make full use of them. ”

Although Chu Nan was a little impatient in his heart, he didn't know what was going on, so he said patiently: "Don't worry, I am an old acquaintance with the Nawasai envoy, and there are some ways in the northwest, so there is no problem in dealing with this errand." ”

Chu Yuan nodded, remembering that the Vasai envoy believed most of Chu Nan's abnormal attitude, and the way Chu Nan said should only be obtained from the Yang family, after all, the old immortal Yang Lie of the Yang family has always looked at Chu Nan differently, and it is normal to give Chu Nan some ways, and said with a slight sigh of relief: "That's fine, if there is any problem, go to Sun Cao, or find me." ”

Thinking of Yang Lie's liking for Chu Nan, Chu Yuan couldn't help but think of Emperor Liang's personal affection for Chu Nan, and remembered the recent rumors in the capital, and asked with a slight frown: "Actually, this time, Your Majesty didn't let the Ministry of Rites put forward the list at all, and directly named your name, do you know why?"

Chu Nan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, who can guess his thoughts?"

Chu Yuan was very dissatisfied with Chu Nan's obviously perfunctory answer, frowned and looked at Chu Nan, and pretended not to care and said: "The matter of the Oiran last time was nothing, and in the future, if you have a fame, remember to pay attention to the affairs of men and women." After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and added: "Especially with the status of the princess county lord, if you are not careful, a good thing can turn into a disaster, and I think, with your surname, you are not willing to let a woman help you fight for power, right?"

Chu Nan also frowned, I don't know what the reason is recently, there are always rumors circulating that he and the seventh princess Li Qingxin are ambiguous, he doesn't care, Li Qingxin doesn't seem to have clarified, this time he entered the palace and got an official from the Ministry of Rites, I'm afraid it will make many people jealous again, and the rumors that he pulled the corner of the princess's skirt are afraid that they will be very loud again, right?

Chu Yuan looked at Chu Nan, who was sneering and silent, knowing that his unruly surname disdained to explain, and he didn't ask anymore, anyway, this errand was really fat, worse than the last dangerous Jiangnan case, more than ten times better, and there was time in the future, so he stopped talking about business, turned his face to look out from the small window on the side of the carriage, and said softly: "It seems that this is the first time you and I have taken a carriage, right?"

Chu Nan said lightly: "No, it should be the third time." The first time should have been when I was three years old, I was seriously ill and almost died, and you took me to the home of an old doctor in Jingzhou to see a doctor. The second time was to ask Scholar Wang to be the west seat of the Chu family, and I followed the directions. ”

Chu Yuan was stunned, smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at Chu Nan and sighed: "It's been so many years in a blink of an eye, I really don't know how you and my father and son have become what they are today." When you were young, you were very intelligent, and the name of a prodigy was resounding all over Jingzhou, but then it suddenly fell silent, I hated you for being angry, and I was also harsh on you, and you were such a rebellious surname, and finally made you and me strangers, hey, the world is unpredictable!"

Chu Nan raised his eyebrows, watched the carriage drive into Green Willow Lane, and said casually: "Why bother talking about the things back then, I said before, you and I have different essential concepts, and we are not all the way after all." I'm not a surname like Chu An, and I don't want to change myself to fit in. Just like today's matter, maybe if Chu An is changed, he will follow your arrangement to do a good job, but now I am thinking about going back to drink a pot of tea to warm up, as for this errand, let it go first, it's a big deal to find a reason to ask Your Majesty to resign, anyway, I am not very interested in this errand, that is, I want to make Yue'er and grandma happy. ”

Chu Yuan looked at Chu Nan and said in a deep voice: "After listening to your words, I really want to give you a slap, it's just bullshit and I don't know how to improve! No matter what time it is, you have to remember that you are a member of the Chu family, and it doesn't matter if you mess around and play with your surname as long as you don't harm the interests of the family. However, I also said before that with me, the Chu family will not be handed over to you, and a surname like yours will ruin it. ”

Chu Nan jumped out of the carriage, smiled and beckoned to Yangmei and Linglong who were standing at the door, and said casually with his back to Chu Yuan: "For the Chu family's family business, I won't blink if you throw it away, I don't care." ”
