Thinking

In the evening, the three of them reunited like a family. Jiang Xuan half-jokingly said, "It would be great if you weren't the prince. Uncle will directly recognize you as the adopted son."

Jiang Xunyan shook his head: "Then I'm afraid we still have to compete with His Majesty."

Jiang Xuan thought for a while: "It's okay if you can't grab the title, anyway, you are raised by your side, and uncle won."

Qi Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly ended the topic. If he continued, he would become a sinner who alienated the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

The fate of the man is really strange. When he was in the state of Jin, his father could not be reunited with him. The emperor did not really sympathize with him, the orphan of a criminal minister. Instead, he was cared for when he came to the state of Yan. Many facts are unreasonable.

When Qi Si returned to his yard, there were always people cleaning inside and outside the house, it was spotless, just as tidy as before he left.

He packed up the items he had brought back, including the "homesickness" poison bought by Han Erde, the letterhead left there by Tudantesha, the secret letter from the Grand Prince's Mansion, and the engraving gifted by Li Cen. All the exquisite carvings were collected.

The things in his hands are enough to prove that Li Cen, the right prime minister of the Yan Kingdom, and Pei Nanxian, the commander of Pei's shadow guard, have communicated with foreign countries and had close contacts in private. a mortal sin.

Conspiracy and collusion never require too much evidence, as long as they touch the line of Chao Gang, it is enough to determine the outcome of the courtiers.

But his status is special, and Emperor Su is not an ordinary person. In daily affairs, Emperor Su is extremely generous and loving to him. When it involves the court and officials, Emperor Su will not be easily shaken. root, he is likely to be harmed by it.

After thinking about it, he decided to start with Jiang Xunyan first, to see what kind of attitude Jiang Xunyan would have.

At this moment, he suddenly misses Yuan Feng a little. Maybe after having a reliable ally by his side, he is no longer used to fighting alone.

The attendant prepared everything, and Qi Si took a bath and changed clothes first. As night fell, he cheered up and went to the Xiangfu Book Pavilion with a refreshed body. Sure enough, Jiang Xunyan was in the Book Pavilion, and Jiang Xuan was not there either. Qi Si took a deep breath and tidied up After thinking through his thoughts, he went in and sat opposite Jiang Xunyan.

When Jiang Xunyan was working in the bookstore, he always dismissed the attendants around him. At this moment, the two sat quietly at the two ends of the bookcase. The lights in the bookstore were bright, reflecting their faces. Quiet autumn night, so peaceful.

Jiang Xunyan finished reading the document in his hand, closed it and put it down, looking at Qi Si with gentle eyes: "Is there anything you want to talk about?"

Qi Si nodded with a smile, Jiang Xunyan looked refined and said with a smile, "It doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing."

Only then did Qi Si take a deep breath, and his expression became a little more solemn: "This matter concerns the important officials of the Yan Kingdom, and the ruler of the country."

Jiang Xunyan looked thoughtfully, then looked at Qisi again, turned his head to the outside and ordered: "Everyone go down."

After all the attendants outside Hou Lishu Pavilion also left, Qisi picked up the purple sand pot and poured two cups of tea, and offered one cup to Jiang Xunyan. In the hall, it was like this through the light tea mist, at that time he seemed to see an old friend.

"In my capacity, it is inappropriate to interfere with this matter, but this is not only related to myself and the state of Jin, but also closely related to the state of Yan. Sir and His Majesty treat me generously and kindly. I cannot make a hasty decision. I must ask for your opinion."

Jiang Xunyan's gentle and elegant face gradually became serious, and he raised his hand to signal that he could just talk about it.

Qi Si's eyes were bright and pure, and his tone was gentle and sincere: "This time in Great Liang, I got some things, including letters from Youcheng and Shenyingwei Pei, all of which were addressed to the eldest prince. It definitely came from Youcheng Li Cen."

Jiang Xunyan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Privately?"

Qi Si nodded: "The letter was passed privately, and the content was about the war more than two years ago."

The room was silent, and the candles were burning silently. Ji Si felt uneasy and calm. He was ready to face Jiang Xunyan's various replies.

The confrontation between the three countries and the withdrawal of troops almost caused unrest in the world. In the end, the war ended with the death of Rui Chu and the negotiation between Yan and Jin, and the situation was pulled back from the edge of the cliff.

And Rui Chu is not only a god general of the Jin Kingdom, but also a close friend of Jiang Xunyan when he was young. This turmoil also has unusual significance for Jiang Xunyan personally.

Jiang Xunyan sighed softly, looked down at the documents on the table, and said after a while: "I understand, this matter should not be acted rashly. It is a taboo to communicate with foreign countries and use power to gain power. ... It hurts the muscles and bones."

Qi Si breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Xunyan's reputation as the left minister is not in vain. It is about a country's important ministers and it is about the country's destiny. He will definitely consider it seriously.

Jiang Xunyan didn't ask about the detailed content of the Qi Si letter, because for Yan Guo, the most important thing is the fact that the courtiers communicated with foreign countries. Once this matter is confirmed, what did Li Cen, the Pei family and Daliang do together? It's all secondary.He obviously trusted Qisi, and there was no need for Qisi to create this matter out of nothing.

Jiang Xunyan looked at Qi Si: "The important thing is the evidence. The letter you brought back is naturally evidence, but unless it is absolutely necessary, it is not suitable to be used as evidence. If there is no suitable evidence, neither I, His Majesty, nor the court can do it." Speak easily."

Qi Si nodded: "What Mr. said is that I will not talk about this matter with others, and I will not mention it before Your Majesty."

"However, careful handling does not mean letting go. Once there is evidence, it is imperative." Jiang Xunyan said.

Qi Si knew that Jiang Xunyan was definitely not a timid person, as long as it was necessary, he would not hesitate to dismount Li Cen and the Pei family. Changes in the court situation were more important than long-term stability, and no one was more important than Jiang Xunyan.

As Qisi, it is most appropriate to tell Jiang Xunyan about this matter. If he directly talks to Emperor Su, it will become a topic for investigation in the future. It is very easy to be suspicious of foreign protons messing up the court situation.

After receiving Jiang Xunyan's clear statement, Qi Si also settled down in his heart.

He exited the bookstore and returned to the courtyard. The autumn night in Changyu was gentle and refreshing, the night sky was full of stars like the river and the sea, and he couldn't see the answer to the way forward in the twinkling. He still had to keep moving forward.

"It's different when you come back this time, much more stable." Jiang Xunyan looked up at Jiang Xuan who came in leisurely.

Jiang Xuan's hair was still slightly wet, he was wearing an autumn shirt and a single robe was loosely tied, and his peach blossom eyes were handsome and romantic, but not frivolous.

He smiled brightly: "It's rare that uncle praises me for being stable."

Jiang Xunyan also chuckled and said, "I was a little stricter on you in the past, but this time I found that you are actually very reliable in doing things."

Jiang Xuan sat down and poured a cup of tea. Hearing Jiang Xunyan's evaluation of himself, his heart was moved, but his face remained calm, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Your Highness has acted resolutely and courageously along the way."

Jiang Xunyan put down his pen, put the approved documents aside, and said with emotion: "This kid is interesting, there are always people who are devoted to him, and there are always people who hate him deeply."

Jiang Xuan thought about it and nodded in agreement: "There are always people around him to help him, and there are also deadly enemies who cannot be solved."

"It's very similar to someone I know." Jiang Xunyan sighed softly, and then asked Jiang Xuan, "What do you think?"

Jiang Xuan didn't understand: "I don't have any opinion, now he and I are also friends."

"I guess you tactfully avoided every critical moment, right?" Jiang Xunyan smiled knowingly.

Jiang Xuan smiled brightly: "If you don't reveal your friend's secret, you have to let yourself not know his secret. That's all I can do."

Jiang Xunyan waved his hand, and there was no concern on his clear face: "You are right, Xiao Zhi has cleared all the eyes of all parties along the way, and no one in the court can catch Yu Ke's fault, including me and Your Majesty, this kid Ah, tsk tsk."

"In terms of means, Xiao Zhi has already overwhelmed the Pei family, but the cold-blooded and ruthless of the Pei family, he may not be able to compare." Jiang Xuan said.

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Xunyan said with emotion: "The city of Tudan changed hands, and it was the most decisive round to remove the hidden stakes around each other."

Jiang Xuan smiled wryly and waved his hand: "Don't mention it, Your Highness is very courageous, but I just met King Hongji by chance, and we made a plan together on the spot. Fortunately, it finally worked out. If he is repaired by Duji Falcon, I will There is no need to come back in this life."

Jiang Xunyan looked up at him with a lot of meaning in his eyes: "Isn't it also your part?"

"We're all friends, so naturally we're on the same side." Jiang Xuan blinked.

The next day, Jisi went to Hongdu Academy. The classmates and teenagers were curious about him, and Jisi left for nearly two months.

He had his friends in mind, and when he returned this time, he brought presents to Cao Lumin, Kong Yu, and Li Xuanrong. Naturally, Cao Lumin was very happy to see Qi Si, and when the master wasn't staring at them, the two had endless conversations .

Kong Yu is still gentle, gentle and modest. During the period when Qi Si left, both he and Li Xuanrong participated in the Qiu Wei. At this time, the list has not yet been released. According to the rules of Hongdu Academy, they will not come after the autumn test, but many People are still willing to study with their husbands in the academy, and Kong Yu is among them.

"Li Xuanrong is also in the academy every day?" Qi Si was a little surprised. According to Li Xuanrong's temper, he should be enjoying himself outside as soon as the autumn is over.

"He has changed a lot this year. You will know when you see him. The gentlemen also look at him differently." Kong Yu's expression is not lacking in relief. He and Li Xuanrong have changed from friends to strangers. Now Li Xuanrong has changed his appearance. As good as before, but also a lot more comfortable.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally went to find Li Xuanrong. The future is uncertain, but for now they are still friends after all.

Li Xuanrong's whole person is indeed different. The original innocence and daze unique to the dude has disappeared, replaced by the sinking feeling in his body, like a swaying dandelion that has taken root and grown steadily and quietly.
