Chapter 977 Oh, I'm Sad

"Shen Shizhong, you take yourself too seriously! Since the death of the first emperor, you have become more and more arrogant and open-mouthed. Do you think this world belongs to you!" Dugu Liucheng said angrily.

Shen Liuzhen took a few breaths, slightly parted his bloodless lips, and said lightly:
"...It's not that I take myself seriously. It's that the late emperor thought I, Shen Liuzhen, was important. Isn't this explaining the late emperor's decision to you? Besides, if you think it doesn't matter if you have me or not, you can give it a try."

Dugu stayed in the city at a loss for words.The Xianbei nobles on the opposite side looked at each other and whispered:
"The northern lord asked him what he was doing, and expected him to be speechless?"

"Just say that he can't give him a chance to defend himself, and put pressure on the queen mother together with the memorial, so that she can decree that Shen and Xie should be dismissed! You must argue in the court!"

"Doesn't the memorial have to be discussed in the court, what's the difference?"

"It's one thing to dislike him, but I can't help but feel that what he said makes sense..."

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable! Where are you?! He's made sense all the way until now, and the Han people are riding on our heads! Xie Yuan's central camp has become the banner of Wei's army, are you willing? yes?!"

"No no no..."

Empress Dowager Feng Boyang, who was less than 30 years old, looked at the scene of discussions in the court hall with slender eyebrows, and said in a timely manner:

"Okay, those who asked have been asked, and those who have been explained have been explained. Now, if you still feel that the last emperor's decree is unreasonable, stand up and let me have a look."

It always takes courage to show your attitude with actions.

Especially in the court hall, where every word and deed may determine one's wealth and life, one should be especially cautious.

On this point, the Han people know better than the Xianbei people, so they generally don't say a word, pretending that they don't have any ideas.

Similarly, among the Xianbei nobles, except for a few high-ranking and powerful ones, the rest only dared to follow the trend, or muttered in a low voice. If any one of them stood up alone to express their views, it would be a great shame. pressure.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Feng Boyang deliberately listed the voice of opposition as the party that needed to act, which was actually her support for Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan.

Sure enough, no one among the Hanchens moved, and the Xianbei people hesitated for a long time before Shiyu Caizhuang and Dugu Liucheng stood up, and then some people followed behind.

Xie Yuan and Shi Yuhengjia turned around, looked at the sparse and hesitant people behind them, and suddenly remembered what happened in the Song Dynasty.

How powerless she was at that time, she tried her best to persuade everyone to be dedicated to the public and not to fight among themselves, but no one cared at that time.

Shocked and hesitant, they always focused on the fact that she was not qualified because she was a girl, and they wanted to step her down.

After all these years, things are finally changing.In Wei State, everyone is used to the fact that she is a woman, and sometimes even deliberately ignores this.

And all of this is due to her own efforts, and the chance that Emperor Ulei decided to accept her as a girl, and it is also inseparable from Shen Liuzhen's long-term continuous campaign for her.

Suddenly, she remembered a sentence that Shen Liuzhen once persuaded her: as long as there is time, there is hope for change.

time……

Xie Yuan said silently in his heart, and looked at Shen Liuzhen, who had pale lips, with a little sadness in his eyes.

……

……

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the first court finally dispersed, and nothing major happened.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen stayed at the end and went home together in silence.

The road to the palace is very long, and ordinary officials do not have the right to ride horses or carts at all, and they all rely on walking.

After standing in the court hall for so long just now, Shen Liuzhen felt exhausted long ago, so he couldn't walk as soon as he stepped down the stairs of the main hall. He leaned on the railing of the stone bridge and gasped for breath.

Xie Yuanli looked at him from the side, his eyes shrank because of his heartache, and then without saying a word, he walked up to Shen Liuzhen and squatted down, making a gesture to carry him on his back.

"Come up!" she ordered in a deep voice.

Shen Liuzhen hesitated for a moment, looked around at the palace guards standing guard, blushed and whispered:

"A Yuan... I'm a man after all, so asking you to carry me is a little... a little bad, right?"

Xie Yuan turned his face sideways, rolled his eyes at him, and said impatiently:

"You're already sitting in the sedan chair, what's there to be ashamed of?! You're sick and acting hypocritical..."

Shen Liuzhen pursed his lips, and all his dimples came out, then he shook his body, leaned against Xie Yuan's back, and said resignedly:
"That's right..."

Xie Yuan easily carried him on his back, and walked towards the outside of the palace under the eyes of the guards.

On the way, passers-by occasionally passed by, and when they saw the two of them, they all showed surprised expressions.

But Xie Yuan calmly ignored the gazes of those people, and just walked his own path firmly.The footsteps are steady and firm, without a trace of disorder.

Shen Liuzhen lay on Xie Yuan's shoulder with peace of mind, feeling that the whole world was quiet, as if there were only the two of them left.

His tired body gradually became sleepy, and suddenly he thought of something, and asked in a daze:

"A Yuan...are you tired? Or I'd better come down and walk."

Xie Yuan looked at the road ahead, and said softly:

"What's so tiring about this journey... I'm going to the palace gate soon, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Shen Liuzhen smiled sweetly, put his face on her neck, and said:

"A Yuan...do you know that when I'm with you, I feel very safe. You've been like this since you were a child, and I really like to cling to you."

When Xie Yuan heard about it, he suddenly recalled when Shen Liuzhen was in the ancestral hall when he was a child, holding her sleeve and next to her.

Tears suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she said lightly:

"If you like to cling to me, you should take good care of your illness. If you die now, you will go to hell alone. I won't go. Are you afraid that you will be alone by then?"

Shen Liuzhen's smile gradually faded, and he replied softly after a while: "... I'm afraid."

"So, get better, you know?" Xie Yuan seemed to put a child down.

Shen Liuzhen's clear eyes filled with tears, and he said in his heart: Sickness is something that people can't control. What if it's bad?How to do?
But on the surface, he didn't say anything, he just gave an obedient "hmm", then changed the subject and asked:

"A Yuan, what do you think of me? Why did you want to play with me when you were young?"

"Me?" Xie Yuan deliberately said in a disdainful tone, "Isn't it you who pestered me all the time? Who would want to play with you anymore? You tricked me so many times."

"Oh... oh, I'm sad..." Shen Liuzhen also said in an exaggerated tone, and deliberately turned his face away.
