The heavy winter snow gradually stopped, and the atrium of the Guogong Mansion was already covered in silver, and the branches covered with snow shook slightly in the wind, and occasionally there were a few 'rustling' snow falls.

On the opposite side of the slightly open window lattice, in the study, the gray-haired old man walked to the bookcase with the book, patted the dust on it with vigor, sat down behind the table with a smile, took a sip of the hot tea on the side, and when he opened the book, he raised his gaze slightly, looked out the window, and then looked at the content of the book again.

“...... Your Majesty, you are resolute. ”

Footsteps came outside, the door knocked on the door, and the words of the doorman in the house stammered.

"Yue Guo Gong...... Your Majesty..... I sent a father-in-law over. ”

Wang Feng, who was standing outside the door, lowered his hand, listened to the movement inside, turned back and whispered to the smiling eunuch: "Guogong may not be here, does the father-in-law want to come back next time?"

"Presumptuous!"

The smiling eunuch, his face changed suddenly, his smile retracted, he glanced at the door with raised eyebrows and a cold look, and raised his chin slightly, "Our family came here, it was the emperor's edict, Your Majesty heard that the Duke of Yue Guo did not leave the mansion, thinking that he was old and sick, so he specially instructed our family to bring good tonic medicine from the palace to visit, how could he just go back with the original things." ”

Where did these words be said to the four scholars who led the way, especially the words 'the original things go back', which meant something, which made Wang Feng and Ma Liu feel frightened when they heard it.

At this time, a voice sounded inside: "Wait, come in." ”

The closed door in front of him opened inward with a 'squeak', revealing a gap, and the four scholars, who had seen the spirits a few times, were particularly afraid of this picture, and hurriedly flashed to the side, trembling and huddled into a ball.

The eunuchs and palace guards who were facing the door were also taken aback, but they had also seen spells in the palace, and when they calmed down, they dared to enter.

"Yue Guogong, the slave and maid have come in. ”

The eunuch at the head of the group whispered a confession, took the holy decree and led the two guards into the room, came to the wooden carved curtain door, looked at the old man sitting behind the curtain, and bowed down.

"The slave in the palace has seen the Duke of Yueguo. ”

The old man raised his face and whispered, "Your Majesty asked you to come just to visit the old man?"

"Or let's see if the old man is bedridden, so that he can bring something back to reply to His Majesty?"

The eunuch outside the curtain rolled his eyes, opened his mouth with a smile, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old man, Yang Su put down the book in his hand, and suddenly chuckled.

"Bring the medicine. ”

"Huh?" The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he hurriedly lifted the brocade box from the guard's hand, carefully uncovered the yellow silk, opened the lid of the box, and walked into the curtain respectfully with a red pill contained in the box.

In the sound of the bead curtain rubbing, the book case was released: "Yue Guogong, this is sent by His Majesty to the slave maid, nourish the body and prolong life." ”

Yang Su didn't look at the old face in front of him who was applying foundation, his fingers picked up the pill from the box and put it in front of his eyes, and laughed lightly: "The old man doesn't know how many pills he has appreciated, and those imperial doctors in the palace were all brought in by the old man, how can you not know how many catties and taels are, or is this little pill something else?"

The old man's eyes turned to the eunuch, the latter's heart jumped violently, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, you must know that Yang Su, the prince of Yueguo, is a famous general who shocks the world, not to mention, martial arts must be good, not to mention that it is rumored that he can also Taoism, and he is not much better than the national teacher.

"Yue Guogong, Your Majesty has nothing else to ......"

"It's okay! Even if there is an old man, he will follow!"

Yang Su looked at the pill on his fingertips, suddenly threw it into his mouth, bit it thinly, reached out and took a sip of the tea, and swallowed it into his stomach with the powder, which made the palace guards outside and the eunuchs kneeling on the ground look stupid.

"Guogong..... You ......"

"Get out!"

Over there, the old man who swallowed the pill waved off his robe, and directly set off a wind to blow the eunuch on the ground and crawl outside the curtain door.

"Go back and tell Yang Guang that he can dig the Grand Canal if he wants to, but it will take ten years, and after ten years, the old man will not hinder him!"

The old man's voice shook the window lattice, and the eunuchs who rushed out of the study dared not stay, and rushed out of the house with the guards, leaving only four scholars trembling outside with a cold wind, and for a while I didn't know what to do, and for a while, someone whispered: "Let's go too?"

The other three came closer.

"I'm afraid it's not good to go. "Wait a little longer, maybe Yue Guogong will lose his temper and forget about the four of us." ”

“...... I've waited for the fox demons and ghosts to come over, what's so scary, it's a big deal...... Kowtow to Yue Guogong to make amends!"

"And tea!"

"Yes, let's be sincere together!"

The four of them muttered outside, but in the study, the old man who was originally angry was calm, where was the angry face just now, looked at the empty brocade box, got up from the chair, walked to the paper window to look at the snow scene in the courtyard, sighed, and the white mist floated out of his mouth and dispersed.

"Brother...... Brother, that's all there is to do. ”

On the long street of the Baiguan Mansion, a group of people who stumbled out of the door came out of the mansion, and the eunuch turned around and snorted at the door plaque with the golden words 'Yue Guogong', "Wait for death!"

scolded and yelled a few words, climbed into the carriage and hurriedly stayed away from this side, urging the coachman to speed up and return to the imperial city, get out of the chariot, and run to Daxing Palace with his robe and swing.

"Your Majesty!

"It's the other way around!"

Rushing into the study, the eunuch stumbled into the threshold, threw himself unsteadily on the ground, knelt two steps in embarrassment, and shouted two sentences to the figure behind the dragon case over there, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly slapped himself, and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty atoned for her sins, and the slave and maid were furious and urgent, so they said the wrong thing. ”

Yang Guang ignored him, and after reading a letter, he put down the brush and let him get up to speak.

"How is Yue Guogong?"

"Your Majesty, he's very good!" the eunuch got up from the ground, rubbed his knee that was hurt by the fall, and pointed out with a grin: "The slave maid brought the medicine sent by His Majesty, and Yue Guogong took a look at it, threw it into his mouth and swallowed it, without blinking his eyes." ”

Yang Guang suddenly grinned, the pill was not a poison, it was just a random one taken from the pharmacy, but it was just a temptation, if he didn't eat it, it would make him move other thoughts, since he ate it, it means that Yue Guogong is still ......

"Your Majesty!"

When he was still thinking about it, he was interrupted by the eunuch over there: "After Yue Guogong took the pill, he also drove out the slave maid, and said it again." ”

"What else are you talking about?" Yang Guang frowned.

"He also said that if Your Majesty wants the Grand Canal in the future, you have to wait for another ten years, and you will not hinder Your Majesty, otherwise you will step on him!"

Remembering that he was thrown out of the mansion in embarrassment, the eunuch said more than half a sentence in the back according to the original words, and as soon as the words fell, there was a bang on the dragon case.

The emperor above had a cold gaze, and the brush in his hand snapped and threw it to the ground, splashing a few inks.

"Old horseman, I don't dare to kill you!!"

gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words, thinking of his clan uncle, but he had the Dao Law in his body, and the corpse puppet as a pawn, he looked back at this close attendant: "The national teacher can be in Wanshouguan?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I shouldn't have come back yet. ”

"You send someone over to take a look first, and then send an edict to the garrison outside the city not to have my tokens and not to leave the camp!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the imperial city ordered to ride out, galloping on the special post road, or going outside the city, or to the direction of Furong Pond to speed up the horse, but at this time, the national teacher in the emperor's mouth, now is passing through the south gate of Chang'an, leading an old donkey, walking in the market with Sun Yingxian, buying some New Year's goods.
