Shangxian Cultivation Handbook

Sealing the coffin for the funeral is a big day, but it is not a good day. Old General Yi nailed the coffin himself, knocking every nail down with his own hands.

Gu Zhiyuan stood in the most conspicuous place of the hall, many people came, but he didn't see the person he most wanted to see.

It is now the beginning of September, the end of summer, and the sky is high and the clouds are clear.However, on the day of Shen Yuan's funeral, it rained heavily, pouring down.

Song Nanchu stood at the gate of the south gate holding an umbrella.

He didn't regret not going to Shen Yuan's funeral, he never thought of going to that person's funeral.Besides, how was that a funeral?The person lying in the coffin is not the rightful owner, even if it is the rightful owner, it will be nothing more than a cold corpse, so what?

The rain hit the umbrella drop by drop, crackling, and the sound was very loud.

Song Nanchu suddenly remembered that when it snowed heavily that day, he held an umbrella at the south gate and waited for Shen Yuan to return. At that time, he couldn't remember exactly how Shen Yuan came, but he always felt that that day seemed to be just yesterday.

Before he knew it, his eyes became blurred.Rubbing his eyes, he always felt that there was a person walking in front of him.

On the second day of Shen Yuan's funeral, the person who should have been lying in the coffin appeared in front of everyone, intact.

The elderly General Yi couldn't lift it up and down it all at once, and finally slapped Shen Yuan's back with his palm, which was relieved.

Shen Yuan accepted the palm with a smile, then turned around to support General Yi: "Is Master happy?"

"Exhaust." Old General Yi gave him a sideways glance, but the corners of his mouth were raised.

These two people were having family fun, the two people in the imperial study room were playing chess, and Wu Yong and Du Sheng were standing beside them.

Song Nanchu felt that this battle was too dazzling, and he didn't even have the heart to play chess.

"General Shen has returned safely. It's a great joy." Du Sheng was talking to Wu Yong with a smile on his face.

Wu Yong pretended not to hear, staring at the chessboard, worried about Gu Zhiyuan who was about to lose, and dissatisfied with Song Nanchu who never backed down.

"Shen Yuan is back, so someone doesn't have to make a fuss about 'hating him to death', right? Song's staff?" Gu Zhiyuan took Du Sheng's words, and then pushed the topic to another Song Nanchu.

Song Nanchu coughed twice, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is joking, who dares to make such a fuss? Why did Your Majesty let him go to relieve the hatred in his heart?"

"Then tell me how can you teach that person to be obedient?" Gu Zhiyuan saw that Song Nanchu's falling piece happened to surround his own, so he simply waved his sleeves and disrupted the chessboard.

Song Nanchu raised his eyebrows, knowing that Gu Zhiyuan was playing tricks on purpose, and it was hard to expose it, so he put his hands away and stood up: "Your Majesty may need to spend some time trying to teach people to be obedient."

"What's the idea of ​​Song's staff?" Gu Zhiyuan leaned back, leaning half of his body on the couch, "I don't have any clues now."

"My lord, panic." Song Nanchu bent down. Since he was a child, he only felt that these three words were full of mystery, and it was easy to answer any emperor's question.

Gu Zhiyuan waved his hand: "Go ahead."

After receiving the order to be released, Song Nanchu hurriedly walked faster than anyone else.

Therefore, Du Sheng and Wu Yong were left in the imperial study.

"Wu Aiqing..." Gu Zhiyuan folded his eyelids, his tone was a little lazy, "Do you have any opinion on the border issue?"

Wu Yong's eyelids twitched, and he said respectfully, "Your Majesty is talking about the barbarians? The barbarians are very cunning, even General Shen fell into their tricks, I think..."

"No matter how cunning you are, you are just a barbarian, how can you be afraid of the law?" Gu Zhiyuan's eyes widened suddenly, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.

Wu Yong gritted his teeth, straightened his spine and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. I think that retreating is advancing. Now that we can't attack, we naturally cannot agree to cede the territory, but we must not confront him head-on. Marriage is the best thing nowadays. There is a way!"

Du Sheng's calf trembled, and his eyelids twitched violently.He knew that this Wu Yong would not end well.

"A marriage?" Gu Zhiyuan sneered, "I don't have a sister, let alone a daughter. Could it be that Lord Wu is going to sacrifice himself to marry that?!"

"Your Majesty, bear with me for a while..." Wu Yong was about to say something, but Gu Zhiyuan threw a cup and hit the corner of his mouth.

Eunuch Zheng yelled outside: Master Grand Master, please see me!

Before Gu Zhiyuan could restrain his temper, Lian Yi pushed the door open and came in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu Yong with bruises at the corners of his mouth and Gu Zhiyuan who was full of anger. Taking a second glance, there was also a shivering Du Sheng standing in the corner.Lian Yi snorted softly, and then went straight to the topic.

"Your Majesty is angry?" Lian Yi asked casually, "I think this is the best way to get married."

"The grand master also wants to get married?" Gu Zhiyuan sneered, "Where are my people going to be sent?"

Lian Yi nodded: "Otherwise, Your Majesty is willing to cede the land?"

It is even more impossible to cede land!

After some disputes, Gu Zhiyuan agreed to the marriage, but took his anger out on Wu Yong, and demoted Wu Yong three ranks in succession, in a daze, he demoted Wu Yong from a minister of the Ministry of War to a cabinet bachelor.

Song Nanchu heard about these things after the fact.

As for the matter of barbarians, he didn't pay attention to it because he thought Shen Yuan was dead.Now this matter has been put on the bright side.It's not that there are no capable ministers in the court, it's not that there are generals who are good at the art of war, but they can't help if they want to fight alone. The barbarians are unwilling and insist on making peace.

Song Nanchu touched the book in his hand and narrowed his eyes.

Marriage is not a difficult task, but Gu Zhiyuan took advantage of the issue and became furious, and actually demoted Wu Yong, whom he single-handedly raised, which is intriguing.

Just as he was still looking for something, an imperial decree came down.

"Song's staff accept the decree~" Eunuch Zheng walked in holding an imperial decree, Song Nanchu put down the book calmly, walked forward, and knelt down.

"I think that Song Nanchu is full of economics and knowledge, and because of the reputation of Song's staff, I don't want to bury such talents, so I specially named Song's staff as first-rank Shaofu. This~"

The content is not long, and it is very hypocritical.Song Nanchu didn't hear a few words, but he could hear the last word "Shao Fu" very clearly.

He accepted the imperial decree in a daze, thinking that no pie in the sky would fall in such a large size.

"My lord, let's pick it up first. Later, there will be palace people leading you to Shaofu's mansion." Eunuch Zheng smiled.

"Shao Fu's Mansion?" Song Nanchu asked back.

"My lord, from the first rank, naturally has his own mansion. I can't be shabby, my lord?" Eunuch Zheng bent over, "The old servant retreated first."

Mansion?

Song Nanchu stretched out his hands to cover his head, feeling extremely painful.

From the fruitful season to the cold wind season is just a blink of an eye, and the clothes have thickened a lot.

Song Nanchu put down the book in his hand, turned his head, and looked out the window.It has been more than two months since he became a Shaofu. Apart from going to the court, the rest of the time is spent searching for some documents in the library with Wu Yong, who was demoted as a cabinet bachelor. very.

According to a rough calculation, he has been in the capital for more than a year, and he seems to have made no progress other than getting a first-rank official position.

However, there is one thing...

"My lord, the grand master sent someone to send some bird's nests and winter clothes, saying that you should pay attention to it, so that you don't catch a cold." The maid held a large pile of things.

Song Nanchu sighed, stretched out his hand and rubbed between his brows: "Leave it to the butler, let him handle it."

"Yes." The maid told Ann and went down.

It was this Grand Master who made him feel so inexplicably headache.Ever since Lian Yi said that he looked familiar, he didn't think there was anything in the past, but now that he has a mansion, troubles come one after another.

At first, he just sent some cakes and other gifts to show his affection, and he also had a name; later, without explaining the reason, he just sent some ginseng, bird's nest and other supplements directly to his mansion; oh, it's even better now, directly It shows that Master Taishi is full of concern for Master Shaofu, and even gave away clothes, which is really considerate.

Those around who didn't know thought that Master Shao Fu had something to do with Master Grand Master!

Song Nanchu expressed his sadness, he never meant to flatter Lian Yi, let alone have any relationship.Recently, even Gu Zhiyuan has become suspicious.

How did he offend Lian Yi?

He doesn't know, and the others don't know.The previous one was in Zangshu Pavilion, and Wu Yong laughed at Song Nanchu for this matter.Anything like "Your Master Shaofu is lucky to be able to have a year-end friendship with Master Taishi" is all ironic.

This was a matter on the bright side, and he couldn't refute it, so he gritted his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, and swallowed his stomach full of dregs.

When Shen Yuan came, Song Nanchu was ruthlessly writing Lian Yi's name on the paper, piercing through the back of the paper with all his might.

"Why, did Master Taishi offend you?" Shen Yuan smiled, now he is a general, no matter what, he is also a first-rank official, living as leisurely as he is.

To say that it was not easy for Shen Yuan to come to this official position, after more than a month of tossing and turning, it was finally decided.How should I put it, after all, it was Gu Zhiyuan who made two outsiders to be high-ranking officials again and again. Even the Empress Dowager was not happy, and made a fuss not to allow Gu Zhiyuan to be an official of Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan is also sincere, thinking that it doesn't matter if there are officials or not, she is going to persuade Gu Zhiyuan not to make trouble with his mother's queen.As a result, Old General Yi was not happy. Why couldn't the proud disciple he taught alone become an official?His disciple has gone through life and death for the country, so why is he not qualified to be a first-rank official?

This time, Old General Yi was not happy, and Song Nanchu also interjected a few words.Although he also got involved in this matter, he had to help Shen Yuan win this official position no matter what.Grand Master Lian Yilian has always been at odds with General Yi, and it is rare that he sided with General Yi once.

Therefore, the minority obeyed the majority, and even the queen mother's elder brother supported it, so even the queen mother could only hold back her agreement.

It really took a lot of time to go back and forth.Fortunately, the ending is good.

"Isn't it?" Song Nanchu sneered, "Today he sent me a lot of supplies and made a lot of enemies."

Shen Yuan smiled, and stepped forward to close the window for Song Nanchu, and picked out a brazier to make the fire more vigorous: "You are not afraid of the cold, the windows are all open."

"Wake up! I'm afraid that my brain will heat up, so I drew my sword and went to fight Grand Master Lian." Song Nanchu put down his pen, half-closed his eyes, and lay on his back on the grand master's chair, "What do you want me to do?"

"I'm going to go to the border again in a few days." Shen Yuan found a chair and sat down, and said with a smile, "I say goodbye to you."

Song Nanchu opened his eyes and frowned: "You went to guard the frontier without His Majesty saying anything in the hall?"

"I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm just talking to you in advance." Feeling cold, Shen Yuan held a chair and moved a little closer to the brazier, "I'm afraid that if your shadow isn't gone, you'll make a fuss in the hall tomorrow."

Song Nanchu pursed her lips, knowing that Shen Yuan was joking, but she really hit the point.

It really doesn't make sense for a general not to guard the frontier, but...he is really a little scared.

"Relax your mind, how can someone die after surviving a catastrophe?" Shen Yuan said with a smile, "I won't do it once I go and never come back, Mr. Song just don't worry."

"I hope so." Song Nanchu nodded, and then sighed, "Wen Tan, you should stay away from me, so as not to... suffer in the future." His status is special, once exposed, anyone who has a good relationship with him will suffer.

Shen Yuan thought that what Song Nanchu was worried about was the rumors, so he smiled indifferently: "It's okay, I've gone through the gate of death, what else should I be afraid of? Besides..." He looked at Song Nanchu's side face , that side face is very beautiful, a bit more beautiful than the front face, making people feel that the peach blossoms are blooming in front of them, very bright.

"Besides what?" Song Nanchu turned his head to look at Shen Yuan, the moment their eyes intersected, Shen Yuan looked away and his ears turned red.

"It's getting late, I have to go back and pick up some stuff, you take care of yourself." Shen Yuan left Shaofu's mansion as if fleeing.

Song Nanchu touched his face, his hands and face were both cold, and they felt as if they were stiff when they touched each other.

This face... Song Nanchu thought, there had never been a moment when he hated his face so much.
