Chapter 62 The Worthy Minister (1)

Dawn had just broken, and the sky was twilight.

It was the time for the night watchmen in Chang'an City to change their shifts.

On Suzaku Long Street, the lame watchman knocked on the rattle five times.

Xu Mansion was brightly lit. On the one hand, the disciples of Xu Youxiang Xu Xie who worked in the south of the Yangtze River went north to visit, and a group of people waited for a long talk with them all night; on the other side was Xu Xing, the only son of Xu Youxiang. Aggravated, coughing all night, also disturbed the peace of his subordinates all night.

There was a small sedan chair with a blue roof waiting at the corner of the side door, and when the boy sent the doctor who had come to see a doctor overnight to the sedan chair, the lame watchman happened to also arrive in front of him.

The servant stretched out his hand and put the letter handed over by the watchman into his sleeve. He waited for the small sedan chair with the blue top to be carried out of the long street before turning back.

There was a smell of medicine in the room.

After taking the tranquilizing medicine, Xu Xing lay on his side on the couch, half covered by the quilt, with his elbow bent as a pillow, curled up into a ball, and he seemed to be sleeping well.

In fact, he was struggling between half asleep and half awake.

The boy was not sure for a while, whether he should show the letter to him at this time.He paused in his footsteps, wanting him to rest for a while, so he went to the side and fiddled with the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin.

With just one step, Xu Xing could see everything.

Xu Xing glanced at him, and asked hoarsely, "What happened?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that some of the master's former disciples have come to the mansion."

"From Jiangnan?"

"Yes. Jiangnan is still here—" The boy nodded, and finally handed him the letter, "A letter. I saw that the young master fell asleep, so I wanted to ask the young master to sleep for a while."

"I didn't sleep or not, don't you know? This disease is more severe when spring warms up, and it will be cured in summer." Xu Xing sat up with his body propped up, half leaning on the high pillow.After receiving the letter, she gently tore at the edge of the envelope twice before tearing open a small opening in the envelope, and said, "Candle."

The boy hurriedly brought the candles, there were too many things in front of the bed——

An empty medicine bowl, there is still a medicine residue at the bottom of the bowl, which was used by Xu Xing only; a collection of poems, a little wrinkled by him, sometimes coughs badly, and his mind is not clear, Xu Xing Grab it as soon as you reach out; there are also a few grasshoppers made of bamboo leaves, making it look like a grasshopper's nest.

Xu Xing was probably dazzled, so the servant leaned against the side of the couch, held a candle, and moved closer to illuminate him.

The letter was not long, but Xu Xing read it slowly. He read it twice and read it silently again.After reading it, he burned all the letter paper with a candle flame.

He lay back, with half of his face sinking into the soft pillow, and subconsciously said Su Heng's name twice.

Fearing that he wanted the collection of poems, the servant took the collection of poems in front of the bed in his hand and gave it to him whenever he wanted it.

"No need." Xu Xing waved his hand at him, "Su Yuanjun is really good... People are still walking outside, and the document has arrived in Jiangnan first... Cough, I know it too... That document must be very good, no wonder Jiangnan's People panicked, and headed north in a hurry.”

"Sir?"

Xu Xing thought for a while before asking, "The emperor is still in the military camp outside the city?"

"Yes."

"The people who are interrogating at the city gate should have reported the news long ago. They come and go, and they should be back when the sky is bright."

The servant asked in a low voice: "Then, does the master want to..."

"He won't show up. He wants those disciples to help him find the way." Xu Xing lowered his eyes, "The way to be a king is between one take and one release. The Xu family's foundation is too deep, if you want to use soldiers, it is not impossible , When did the aristocratic families become anxious, imitate him and go to Chang’an for a year, that’s the end... If the emperor insists on reforming the system, sweeping up the officialdom, or imprisoning or copying, he should have a sense of proportion.”

"What do you mean, son?"

Xu Xing slowly turned over and turned his back to him: "Don't worry about him, he's not stupid."

A few Jiangnan officials had just entered the city gate, and the horse-drawn carriage had just passed the long street when the city gate opened, and a soldier on a horse rushed out like an arrow to report to the military camp outside the city.

From the sky is not clear, to the twilight.

Bandit Jian stood outside the tent and only called out to the emperor softly.

In the tent, Li Yan turned over and sat up, and quickly walked out without making a sound.He lifted the windproof blanket hanging from the tent door, and made a silent movement towards Bandit Jian.

Bandit Jian bowed his head, stood aside and waited.

Li Yan went back to the tent, patted Wu Duan on the shoulder, and after calling him up, he tucked the quilt into Chen Hen who was fast asleep.

Marquis Zhongyi can stay in bed, but General Wu of Zhenyuan Mansion cannot.

Wu Duan, who was woken up early in the morning, rubbed his face with his hands to teach himself to wake up quickly.

Putting on their clothes hastily, Li Yan and Wu Duan went to another tent to discuss matters.

The person sent by the city to report the news said: "In the middle of the night, some officials came from Jiangnan and went straight to Xu's Mansion on Zhuque Long Street."

Before washing seriously, at that time Li Yan was rolling up his sleeves and washing his hands in the hot water in the copper basin.

Wu Duan waved his hand at the man: "Thank you for your hard work, rest in the camp before going back."

Li Yan washed up unhurriedly, then tied up his hair and put on a crown.

Fearing that he was thinking about something, Wu Duan didn't dare to disturb him, but just stood aside, yawning from sleepiness.

Suddenly I heard Li Yan say: "They are all here, I have to go back and take the recruits."

"Yes." Wu Duan replied, "Did the emperor order some soldiers to take back?"

"No need." Li Yan picked up the towel, wiped off the water droplets on his hands, and threw it back, "Using force against a group of civil servants, and being caught, they will make a big fuss. Besides, Xu Xie is not inside, and he will treat them There's no point in using force, it's easy to startle the snake."

"The emperor?"

"Just go back like this. Don't those group of literati boast that they are all proud of fighting constantly? I would like to try to see if it is true."

Rao Wu Duan also sensed something was wrong at this time, and persuaded: "Is the emperor keeping some sense? In the end..."

"No, I never thought about giving them a sense of proportion. You lead the troops well outside the city, and wait for the spring hunting in March." Because he was going to ride a horse later, Li Yan pulled the sleeve belt from his belt He came out, tightened his sleeves, and wrapped them around twice, casually said, "Xunzhi, do you understand, what should you do if you want to bring down a man who is famous in the government and the public?"

"I'm stupid."

"Is the elder brother Huang such a person back then? Why did they overthrow him? I just returned them the original form." Li Yan looked at him for a while, saw his dazed face, and said casually, "If you leave Ting, you will know what I mean immediately."

Wu Duan still said: "I am stupid."

While tying up his sleeves, he walked out: "But don't let Li Ting know about this."

Wu Duan was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood: "Okay, I will never tell him, the emperor actually knows how to tie his sleeves himself."

"It's not this." Li Yan frowned, "I'm talking about the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and the affairs of the Xu Mansion. The situation in Chang'an is unknown, so don't let him know. He has a lot of thoughts and always likes to stand in front. Don't call He knows, to save him from another injury."

"Ah? Good." Wu Duan muttered, "Actually, Chen Liting said it was his medal of honor."

Li Yan laughed when he heard this: "When did he say that?"

"That's what the minister told me when he went back to see him."

"He doesn't need to add any more medals." Li Yan cleared his throat, "I only told him that there were two urgent notes, and I rushed back to deal with them. If he likes to stay with you, it doesn't matter if he stays longer. I'm afraid They made a big fuss, and he knew about it, so I will go back and take care of those people, and then let him go back."

Wu Duan bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

In fact, I also want to know, just those few civil servants, what kind of storm can be caused?Li Yan was against Chen Hen, but he chose to do everything possible to imprison him in a peaceful place where no one can disturb him.

"He is careful, and sometimes he can guess what is hidden from him. Be careful, don't let him see it."

Wu Duan lowered his head even more: "Yes."

"Don't make trouble with him all the time, make him unhappy."

Wu Duan lowered his head so low that he couldn't lower it, and said in his mouth: "Yes, yes, yes." But he said in his heart, partiality, the emperor is partiality!

Outside the tent, Bandit Jian has assembled a team and is waiting for Li Yan.

Li Yan got on his horse and said to Wu Duan before leaving: "Don't let him know about the sleeves."

Wu Duanhao finally answered yes helplessly.

When the sky was bright, Xu Xing, who had been sleepless all night, finally fell asleep with his pillow on his arms; Li Yan was riding on the horse, and saw the gate of Chang'an from a distance; , only hugging a neatly folded quilt.

He stretched out his hand to be stabbed, it was cold.

In a blink of an eye, Wu Duan, who was on the other side of the couch, was gone, and he woke up immediately.He kicked on his shoes, put on a coat and was about to go out.

When he opened the tent door to go out, Wu Duan was about to come in: "Are you awake?"

"Where's the emperor?"

Wu Duan told him what Li Yan had ordered: "There are two urgent notes, and the emperor went back to deal with them. Seeing that you were asleep, I didn't call you. He also said that if you like that Jiangnan cook, I will call you." Stay with me a little longer."

Chen Hen asked casually, "Did something happen?"

Wu Duan hurriedly said, "No, it's nothing."

Okay.

Chen Hen smiled, and he tried it casually, and he really did something.Who doesn't know that the little general in Zhenyuan Mansion is not used to lying?

Chen Hen raised his eyebrows slightly, and returned to the tent with his arms folded: "Okay, I'll stay a little longer."

Wu Duan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay."

"Follow it, can Chen Liting have the breakfast cooked by the cook from Jiangnan today?"

Wu Duan nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, lunch and dinner, five meals a day."

This is too unusual, yesterday he was threatening to drive those two cooks away, but today he is completely obedient.

Nothing is wrong.

Probably something happened in Chang'an again, Li Yan didn't want him to know.

Chen He was thinking about things while washing his hands.

"Xunzhi, can you rush for breakfast? I'm hungry."

Wu Duan didn't doubt it, turned around and went out.

As soon as Chen Hen went out, he realized why Wu Duan left so happily. Two people guarded him outside the tent. When he came out, he drew his knife out of its sheath and stopped him.

"Isn't this a little too much?" Chen Hen stretched out a finger, and tapped the tip of the knife that was shining with cold light, "Wu Xunzhi dare not stop me, but you two dare to stop me?"

Just pretending that his fingertips were cut by the blade, he gasped, put his fingers in his mouth and sipped.

In fact, he was terribly afraid of the pain, and his finger didn't bleed at all, and it wasn't broken at all.

"Too bad, you hurt me. I just wanted to go for a walk, but you cut me with a knife."

Chen Hen is not good at playing swords, but he is still very good at messing around.

But in the end it was military orders like mountains, he talked nonsense with them for a long time, but he couldn't make sense of what he said, instead he talked about Wu Duan's return.

Wu Duan grabbed his collar and took him back: "The emperor wants you to wait for a while, so you can do it later. I'll ask them to set up a car, and you'll go back to Chang'an in the afternoon, okay?"

So Chen Hen was wrapped in a camel's hair blanket, and leaned listlessly on the chair.

"What happened? Why can't you tell me?"

"The emperor has his own thoughts, so don't get involved."

"Alas—" Chen Hen sighed deeply, "The little bastard has grown up, I can't help it."

"What nonsense?" Wu Duan patted him, "I'll go and remind you to eat."

Chen Hen was the only one left in the tent. He hugged the blanket, wondering what the hell was going on, but was about to fall asleep in a drowsy state.Suddenly, my head hurts, and in an instant, even my eyes are dizzy.

Chen Hen cursed twice in a low voice, patted his head, but fell off the chair in pain.

It hurts, it hurts like it exploded.

Amidst the intense pain, he heard the system beeps, one after another.

He managed to gather his composure, only to realize that the pain was really getting more intense with the system's notification tone.

The only connection he had with the system was the task panel, and he swiped his hand in the air two or three times indiscriminately—the task panel could not be opened for the time being.

He could only curl up and sit on the ground, clutching the blanket and leaning against the foot of the chair.

He couldn't see anything clearly, he raised his hand and touched his face, only then did he realize that he was crying, the pain was so painful that he shed tears unconsciously.

At this time, Wu Duan's voice came from outside, and he was about to come in.

Chen Hen leaned his forehead against the corner of the chair, leaned against it lightly twice, and hit it hard the third time.

This will teach him to be more sober.

He almost fainted from the pain, but his voice was normal: "Xunzhi, please don't, don't come in, I have something to do."

Chen Hen used his sleeve to wipe off the blood on the corner of the chair, and then tried to climb behind the chair, trying to hide himself.

In fact, he also knew that hiding behind a chair was useless.

He just wanted to hide, so that no one could see him.

After a while, Wu Duan probably sensed something was wrong, and urged him outside.

Chen Hen raised his hand again, and patted the bloody hole on his forehead twice: "Don't come in, I'm fine...I'm going to get angry if you want to come in."

Blood dripped from his forehead, mixed with cold sweat, and covered his eyes.

The pain was already excruciating, and he couldn't see clearly, so he simply closed his eyes.

When I closed my eyes, the dream was completely black.

He had dreamed of such a scene before. A year ago, he had fallen in front of the Hall of Harmony with injuries, and then fell into a coma for several days. He thought he was going to die, and this was what he dreamed of.

In a daze, someone gently wiped away the dirt in front of his eyes.

Subconsciously, Chen Hen reached out and grabbed the man's hand, but the man ignored him, brushed his hand away with the other hand, and wiped his face clean with light movements.

"Master." After seeing the person clearly, Chen Hen leaned back and called out to the person angrily, "Master."

Li Shi asked coldly, "What's the matter with you?"

He was still behind the chair, his appearance just now was too scary, Li Shi didn't dare to touch him, he just brought the medicine box to bandage the wound on his forehead.

"I... have an old illness..." He had no strength, not even the strength to lie.
