Chasing King

Even though he had to suppress the fierce hatred, Yan Sikong respectfully saluted: "my dear I've met Mr. Xie. "

Xie Zhongren sat in the chair and coughed softly. He said slowly, "master Yan, don't be polite."

Yan Sikong straightens up and stares at Xie Zhongren without blinking. He puts the wrinkles, texture, hair and spots on his gray face into his eyes. It seems that the more carefully he looks, the more he can understand his opponent.

Xie Zhongren also looks at him, his eyes are old, waiting for Yan Sikong to speak, although Yan Sikong's purpose of this trip is clear.

"I'm here today to apologize to my father-in-law." Yan Sikong Gongshou road.

Xie Zhongren said with a smile: "we can't understand this. What kind of crime did master Yan ask?"

"I'm appreciated by my father-in-law. Yesterday, I received a gift from my father-in-law. I'm busy with business, and I haven't had time to move. I wasn't at home yesterday. My servant didn't know how to do it, so he decided to take it..."

"Oh, that's it. Master Yan worked in the Ministry of official affairs for more than half a year. He is diligent, fair and well-known. Now he is the future husband of Princess wanyang. We really appreciate such a talented young man as master Yan, and we want to make friends with him.... " Xie Zhongren said with a smile, "can it be that master Yan doesn't look up to me

Yan Sikong said: "I have no intention to do this, but I have no merit and no salary. I really dare not accept this gift. I have ordered someone to send it back to my father-in-law's office. My door is not strict, and I know it is not right, so I come here to ask my father-in-law to apologize."

Xie Zhongren gave a long "um" and said in a strange tone: "this gift has to be returned after it's received. Master Yan, you're beating us in the face."

"I dare not. I have always respected my father-in-law and asked him for a lot of money. I don't care about him."

Xie Zhongren low smile more than, "you as Yan Ge old favorite student, really respect in our family?"

"My father-in-law has served your majesty for many years and shared his worries. It's a great contribution. Just because of this, it's worthy of admiration."

Xie Zhongren said with a smile: "I've heard that master Yan is a good speaker and has a delicate face. I saw him today. I'm sure he's very good. What else do you want to do? Sit down."

Yan Sikong just sat down, and immediately there was a small supervisor offering tea.

"In fact, this gift or not, what's the matter? We watched Princess wanyang grow up, this gift should be a dowry to the princess, master Yan is not willing to accept, but I'm afraid that Yan Ge will care about it?"

"If I'm not afraid at all, it's deceiving my father-in-law. I'm a student of Mr. Yan Ge. Mr. Yan Ge has promoted me a lot. I think I should avoid suspicion."

Xie Zhongren snorted with a smile, "both you and me, and the elder cabinet, are serving your majesty and the country. They should not have been close or distant. Now the imperial court is opposed to each other, which is the last thing your majesty wants to see, and I am worried about it."

Yan Sikong scolded the eunuch for being incorruptible and shameless. If he had not been a eunuch, but for his excessive interference in politics, how could he have caused the opposition between the party and the imperial court? Now he is worried about the country and the people. It's really a thief's cry to catch a thief. He cautiously and perfunctorily echoed: "my father-in-law is right."

Xie Zhongren's words changed: "as the chief of the gongkao Department of the Ministry of official affairs, I heard that you did the Jingyuan King's list. What's your opinion on reducing the armament of Datong for a while?"

I finally got to the point.

Yan Sikong coughed softly, slightly modified what he had said to Liu An, and then moved it over. His words were not leaking, and never showed his personal opinions and emotions.

After hearing this, Xie Zhongren frowned slightly: "that's what Liu Shangshu said. It's not that he's afraid of taking responsibility. He told you to unify the caliber."

Yan Sikong arched his hand and said, "this lieti was decided by Liu Shangshu and me. My two people have similar ideas about this matter."

"Ha ha." Xie Zhongren chuckled, "we don't believe that. Has Liu Shangshu ever been humiliated by King Shizi of Jingyuan?"

Yan Sikong was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a moment.

What Xie Zhongren wants to take advantage of is this. Fengye opposes marriage in public at the banquet. Later, he asks to see him and stands outside the mansion for two hours. In addition, at the liquor company of Zhou Mingxing, Fengye even sneers at him and even teases him as a prostitute. It's known to all the people in the city. Even if Xie Zhongren doesn't believe the message, he puts it in Hualiu The eye line of the street was away from the night, but it was seen with one's own eyes.

The vast majority of people will not believe any ridiculous rumors such as broken sleeves. They just think that Fengye is from a noble family, and they don't think he is a poor family. This is not uncommon in intermarriage.

The literati all have a great face. In the eyes of outsiders, Yan Sikong must bear a grudge against this disgrace, but he just dares to be angry.

Xie Zhongren wants to use this to alienate them. Maybe he can do something about it

Xie Zhongren wanted to see the truth from his face, but when he saw that his face was expressionless, he thought that he was pretending to be calm. He continued: "master Yan was once a good friend with the son of the world, but he didn't want to see his old love at all. Even if you marry the princess one day, I'm afraid you won't get the help of sealing the family."Yan Sikong lowered his head: "the younger generation only do their own job, other, inconvenient to think more."

Xie Zhongren said with a smile: "is it inconvenient, or dare not? Do you really want to take that breath? "

Yan Sikong pursed her lips, and after a long silence, she said in a deep voice, "I don't know what my father-in-law's intention is?"

"The wise don't talk in secret." Xie Zhongren's tone is light, "you are Yan Ge's student, but who is your master? Your king, your father? "

“…… Your majesty. "

"You respect your teacher and always follow the Yan Pavilion. There's nothing wrong with that. But now you're going to be the son-in-law. To be more frank, you're going to be a family with your majesty. You can tell the difference between them."

Yan Sikong was terrified and said, "younger generation I don't understand. "

"We are not afraid to tell you the truth. Mr. Yan is against his majesty everywhere. If his majesty wants to establish a second Royal Highness, he instructs his ministers to protest in every way. His majesty wants to reduce the armament of Datong. He colludes with King Jingyuan to keep the power of death. How can he be a minister? "

Yan Sikong's face turned white, but he didn't pretend it. He realized that emperor Zhaowu had already turned his anger on Yan Zilian for the defeat of establishing a reserve and reducing armaments. In the past, Emperor Zhaowu was so stupid that he was still respectful and afraid of Yan Zilian. Now Xie Zhongren dares to say something like this in front of him, which proves that emperor Zhaowu's dissatisfaction with Yan Zilian has reached the peak. I'm afraid he wants to join us It has been rectified.

This news makes Yan Sikong feel cold all over. It seems that the people who are in deep crisis are not only Fengjia.

When Xie Zhongren saw that his words worked, he was even more persuasive: "master Yan is so clever that he should understand what our family means. If he is someone else, why should I waste more words? But master Yan is the son-in-law chosen by his majesty. Your majesty appreciates you very much. After winter, he will choose a good day to marry Princess wanyang for you. Don't let a gentleman down if he doesn't set up a dangerous wall It's what your majesty expects. "

Yan Sikong's face was livid, and he said in a deep voice, "my father-in-law means..."

Xie Zhongren sneered: "if you can persuade Yange to rein in, it's the best. But if not, we will advise you to plan for yourself. Your majesty doesn't want to abolish you and damage the princess's reputation. Do you understand?"

Yan Sikong clenched his fists, and his body trembled slightly. He said in a soft voice, "I am loyal to your majesty, and I have no heart of disobedience. I hope my father-in-law will check it out."

Xie Zhongren showed a satisfied smile: "master Yan is a reasonable person. We will report to your majesty for you."

"Mr. Xie."

Xie Zhongren lowered his voice: "if there is anything going on between Yan Ge and Feng Jianping, should you also tell your Majesty the truth?"

Yan Sikong was silent and embarrassed.

If he agrees too readily, Xie Zhongren will have doubts.

Xie Zhongren smiles: "it seems that master Yan is not thorough enough."

"I..."

"Well, master Yan might as well think it over. We only say this to master Yan for the sake of your majesty and princess wanyang. If master Yan doesn't get lost, he will know how to return..." Xie Zhongren tone suddenly cold, "that's a pity."

“…… Thank you for your advice. I will remember what you said

With a smile on his lips, Xie Zhongren took a sip of tea.

There was a trace of Yin cold in Yan Si's empty eyes. Now, in addition to them, there are only two weak little wardens in the house. He wants to kill the old eunuch with no difficulty. He hopes to hold the dry wood by the neck with his hand. Looking at the eunuch, his eyes show remorse, fear and despair. His countless fantasies make him unable to survive and die. Now they are close at hand, but he can't do anything. He took a deep breath, forced down the evil spirit, arched his hand and said, "I have something to ask my father-in-law."

"Go ahead, please."

"Your Majesty, do you really want to transfer troops to Liaodong?"

Xie Zhongren said: "today, the Jin people are ready to move. Even if they deploy troops to Liaodong, they are also thinking about the overall situation."

Yan Sikong secretly clenched his fist: "Junior I see

Xie Zhongren smile: "what do you understand?"

Yan Si paused and said with no expression: "I understand your Majesty's determination."
