Yue Xun knew that she was angry, so she half-squatted down and took Rou Yun's hand and coaxed: "Don't be angry, lady, it's my fault." ”

This is the first time Yue Xun has called her lady, Rou Yun suddenly withdrew her hand and glared at him: "Who is your lady, since the general is so free today, then let's negotiate the matter of peace." ”

Yue Xun's face stiffened when he heard this, he was really afraid of something.

"I... I don't want to be separated. Yue Xun gritted his teeth, his eyes were firm, and he did not hesitate to speak.

Rou Yun's cheeks were burned by his burning gaze, and the words he said gradually lost their momentum: "You proposed it yourself, a manly man, how can you talk without words." ”

Yue Xun stared at Rou Yun directly, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes that was not easily revealed: "The man of the Yue family is a good talker, but I don't let go of this matter, it was Yue who acted recklessly, can Yun'er give her husband a chance to atone for his sins?" As long as Mrs. is willing to give, she must do it until Mrs. is satisfied. ”

Rou Yun bit her lip, and was indeed moved by the other party's sincerity. But if there is no empty talk, everyone will. Yue Xun seemed to see her thoughts, got up and walked to the bookcase, and waved his pen and ink. In a few moments, a letter of confession was handed to her.

Rou Yun took it and swept it over without a word. It's written very sincerely, Rou Yun muttered in her heart. After looking at it, put the paper away and put it in his sleeve pocket, and covered it tightly for fear that Yue Xun would regret it.

"Can Yun'er rest assured?" Yue Xun Tian is shameless, called intimate.

"If you don't recognize me one day, I can't do anything." Rou Yun didn't realize that her tone was soft and glutinous, more like she was coquettish.

Yue Xun still questioned her when he saw her, and took her hand and moved it to his chest with his fingers interlocked. Rou Yun felt the powerful heartbeat, and her heartbeat suddenly missed a beat, her face was full of shame, and she said anxiously: "What are you doing here!" After saying that, he wanted to withdraw his hand.

"Prove your heart." Yue Xun's light voice came into her ears: "There is a Gu here, a Gu that must be yours." ”

Rou Yun was startled, staggered forward and buckled his pulse, although the pulse was stable, but it was indeed a little different from ordinary people when she explored it carefully, and when Rou Yun spoke again, her tone was a little unstable: "When did it happen, there was no sign of Gu before." ”

"When the Medicine Sect seniors left." Yue Xun was afraid that she would be worried, so she continued to add: "I took it voluntarily, and my predecessors are afraid that I will treat you badly, in order to reassure him and make you feel at ease, this is my proof."

Rou Yun remembered that there was a large bottle of black pills in the package given by the master before leaving, and the master instructed Yue Xun to take it every month, thinking that it was the antidote, Rou Yun stood up, her head was a little dizzy: "You are confused!" The antidote is with me, and I'll give it all to you. ”

Yue Xun saw that she couldn't stand steadily, got up and took her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and refused: "I don't want to, I want you to look at me, if I don't do well, you don't have to give me an antidote, let me have a long memory." ”

Yue Xun persuaded a few more words, refusing to ask for an antidote, Rou Yun had no choice but to give up, Yue Fu is now short of people to take care of housework, and he can't leave now, so it's better to give him a chance.

Rou Yun was angry, the person holding him in front of him looked like a commanding general, and more like a stupid boy who didn't know how to coax a girl at the beginning of love.

The next day, the news that Emperor Qi was seriously ill spread all over Kyoto again, Huo Yan was puzzled, he had already brought the poisoned person to justice, why would this still happen? Could it be that there is still that person in the palace? After inquiring carefully, I found out that Emperor Qi was afraid of death, worried that the previous poison would affect his body, and invited a Taoist priest to refine the pill from outside.

Huo Yan is quite filial and plans to visit the palace, but who knows that he first received a summons from the Empress Dowager, Huo Yan has more respect and love for this great-grandmother, and after three dynasties, she can still hold great power and stand tall, such a female politician is rare in the world.

There was a burst of sandalwood in Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Dou was copying the scriptures, and the little palace maid was regularly tapping the wooden fish, which seemed to be peaceful.

"Yan'er is here. Look at the tea. The Empress Dowager rolled up the scriptures and motioned for the palace maid to withdraw.

"Great-grandmother Wan An." Huo Yan looked respectfully, caught a glimpse of the scripture and asked with some curiosity: "How did my great-grandmother believe in the Buddha?" "The Dou family has never believed in cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and those who achieve great things do not rely on metaphysics, but pay attention to means. Therefore, whenever there are large-scale sacrificial activities in the palace, the Dou family can't shirk it.

Seeing him staring at the scriptures, Dou simply unfolded the paper, with neat handwriting on it, and copied the Heart Sutra.

"Recently, there have been many turmoil in the court, copying scriptures, and meditating and recuperating."

"I mishandled the turmoil in the court and disturbed my great-grandmother, and I asked my great-grandmother to punish me."

The matter of Wenxiang has not been resolved because Emperor Qi is seriously ill and in a coma, Emperor Qi has not made a decision, as a prince, he has no right to make decisions for his father, things have dragged on for a long time, and there are many dreams at night, and today Wenxiang has been closed to thank guests, the whole mansion is deserted, there must be demons when things go wrong, and they must be planning something behind their backs.

"You Lao Tzu is a fool, and if you drag it out, you will have to change your surname." The Dou family has always spoken straightforwardly, and the same is true in front of Emperor Qi.

Huo Yan lowered his head, he couldn't offend this high-ranking great-grandmother, and he couldn't help but talk about his father behind his back, which was a little embarrassing.

The Empress Dowager sighed deeply, knowing that it would be useless for her to say this to him, so she simply picked it up and said, "What are you going to do with it over there?" ”

"My father's previous will was to detain Wen Xiang first, and then dispose of it, but before the matter was resolved, my father fell ill, and I discussed with the two imperial brothers for a long time, but I still haven't made up my mind." Huo Yan said truthfully.

Even if the Dou family didn't summon him, he would find a time to visit, now the most powerful and experienced person in the palace is this great-grandmother, the Dou family has gone through three dynasties, and has never seen any ups and downs, such a scene is not worth mentioning in her eyes.

"The evidence is all in front of you, don't you kill it and keep it for the New Year?" Dou's heart is straightforward and fast-talking, that grandson was quite decisive at the beginning, why the older he gets, the more confused he becomes.

Huo Yan saw that the Dou clan was angry, and lowered his head with a sincere attitude: "Grandmother is angry." ”

Dou Shi looked at the scriptures on the table and thought about his attitude, said that he should meditate and meditate, closed his eyes and exhaled a few deep breaths. The three princes are deep and unpredictable; The fifth prince was as demented as his father; The great-grandson in front of him is his favorite candidate for the prince, neither humble nor arrogant, gentle and elegant. The key is to be good-looking, thinking of this, Dou's mood couldn't help but feel much more comfortable.

"Yan'er, I have a few questions for you, and you answer me truthfully." The Dou clan decided to put him to the test, in case he was a person who could disguise like his father, then the country of Li would not be far from destruction.

Huo Yan was respectful and bowed his head: "Great-grandmother, please speak." ”

"Let me ask you, among the ancestors of the Li Kingdom, which emperor's governing concept do you respect the most?" Dou straightened his posture and tapped the teacup.

Huo Yan didn't think about this problem, looking at the curling green smoke rising from the incense burner in front of him, his thoughts were pulled away.

"Emperor Shun founded the country, and it was indispensable to end the chaotic war situation of all forces, and he was admired by the people, and the rest of the kings were also virtuous lords who made extraordinary contributions to the Li country, but if I was forced to elect the most respected emperor, it would be my great-grandfather." Huo Yan replied seriously, as a prince, he had to be familiar with history books since he was a child and learn the essence of the policies of the previous emperors.

"Oh? Don't fool me because I'm here. When Dou heard Huo Yan mention her husband, her eyebrows rose, obviously very happy.

Huo Yan smiled warmly, and there seemed to be thousands of stars in his eyes: "How dare you deceive your great-grandmother." ”

"Oh? Tell me, then, what do you revere about your great-grandfather? Dou's interest came, and his tone became soft.

"In the troubled times, it is easy to build a country and it is difficult to defend the country, the ancestors have been fighting all year round, and the taxes are heavy, not only that, but every year the army is conscripted, and countless men have died on the battlefield, and the people have a lot of complaints. The great-grandfather was able to rule the world with benevolence, and the Li State, which was previously stable by military strength, was actually stable in the internal court and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment; Externally, there is no war or conflict, which is very comparable. Huo Yanyi was speaking, his voice was sonorous and powerful, he had never seen Emperor Zhuang, but the figure of that virtuous king stood in his heart and lingered.

"Good! You can say that again! Dou slapped the table, looking excited.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Huo Yan found that this great-grandmother seemed to have red eyes.

"Your great-grandfather was dignified and quiet by nature, knowledgeable in words and deeds, liked to read, and his political actions during his reign can be called a generation of wise men." Dou recalled her husband, her face was ruddy, and she looked like a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love. "Everyone in the world said that during the reign of Emperor Zhuang, he only cared about internal affairs, and did not expand the territory of the foreign country, and he was a monarch who did not act..."

Huo Yan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Dou.

"Those people are fools!" Dou scolded foully, then reacted, and continued with a muffled snort: "Expanding the territory with war, ruling the country with force, what has been lost is thousands of people, and thousands of families can never be reunited, your great-ancestor is benevolent, and it is a period of continuous domestic disasters, he has compassion for the victims..."

Dou was a little excited, his voice was hoarse, Huo Yan hurriedly handed over the teacup and said for him: "The great ancestor also cut down redundant officials and cultivated the discipline; Kuanxing Pingjiao; tax reductions; Attention is also paid to border defense. ”

Dou's eyes were bright, revealing approval: "Okay, I'll ask you another question." If the king is mediocre and the prince is uncertain, then how should he deal with himself as a prince? ”

You don't have to think about this question to know who the Queen Mother is insinuating? What she wants to ask is that Emperor Qi is mediocre and the prince takes the heir, so what should Huo Yan do?

Dou retreated from everyone, and the palace was quiet, only the sound of cicadas outside the window was heard.

"First the monarch and then the father and son. If the king is mediocre, he should advise from the perspective of a courtier, and if the advice is fruitless, he should persuade as a son. If it doesn't work again, you can only nominate wise people. The establishment of the elder can stabilize the court, and the establishment of the virtuous is for the continuation of the country from generation to generation. It depends. Huo Yan continued to express his opinion.

Dou asked again: "Then what do you think of this situation?" Which is suitable? ”

Lichang is the fifth prince, Lichang is the third prince, and Lixian is the sixth prince. Dou's question stumped Huo Yan.

Seeing that he was silent, Dou Shi did not embarrass him, and directly provoked: "In my opinion, Lixian is the most suitable at this moment." ”
