Reincarnation of the powerful minister
Chapter 255
"Going to leave tomorrow?" Under the peach tree in the courtyard, Shen Qi asked with a frown.
He knew that Su Yan had to go to Shaanxi again, and the departure time would be around March, but no matter how much mental preparation he had made, when the moment of parting really came, it was always difficult to accept.
Su Yan nodded and took his hand: "Don't worry, I guess the time to go this time will not be longer than the last time, at least three to five months, at most half a year and I will be back."
Half a year after half a year, how many half a year in life can be used for two worries?Faced with this situation where there is more separation and less gathering, the two fell silent at the same time.
Su Yan felt that the atmosphere was dull, so he joked, "Why don't you quit your job and come to be my bodyguard?"
Shen Qi was about to get up as soon as she pressed the handle of the knife, Su Yan asked: "Where are you going?"
Shen Qi replied: "Study, write the letter of resignation."
Su Yan was startled, and quickly grabbed his arm: "I'm just kidding, how is this possible? It's so easy to get to this position—"
"—So what?" Shen Qi asked back.
Su Yan's expression became serious: "Qilang, you and I both know that you can't do this."
Of course Shen Qi knew.Abandoning his official position now, it is true that he can stay with his wife for a while, but what about after returning to Beijing?There is still such a long career to go, without enough status, how can he and Qinghe support each other in the court's wind and frost sword in the future?
What Su Yan was thinking about was: "You have worked so hard all this way, how many major cases you have done, how many people you have offended, once you lose your power, fear of retaliation, and you will never have peace in the rest of your life.
"What's more, Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi is much cleaner than before under your supervision. Even if the trial and punishment are sometimes harsh, there is no inversion of black and white, and no unjust, false or wrong cases. If you resign, If it’s someone like Feng Qu’e, it’s the common people and officials who will suffer.”
Shen Qi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "In the current situation, neither of you and I can retreat - the so-called rapid retreat is because we can still get ashore at that time. And once we retreat, we will definitely be hit by the oncoming rapids Shattered to pieces."
Su Yan sighed: "It seems that we can only go against the current hand in hand."
Shen Qi caught his fingers in her palm, and rubbed the soft flesh on his fingertips like a cat's paw.Su Yan was itched by him, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but was firmly held.
"Hold your hand, and grow old with you." Shen Qi's voice was calm.
Su Yan blushed, and then he didn't know what to think of, and suddenly a little bit of blood faded.He hesitated to speak, but finally made up his mind not to hide it from Shen Qi: "The emperor's private visit yesterday..."
Before the words finished, Shen Qi suddenly got up, and said with a blank expression: "Suddenly remembered that there is an urgent business to deal with, I'll take my leave first, and I'll see you off tomorrow morning."
Su Yan grabbed his sleeve subconsciously: "Qilang! Let's go into the room and talk."
Shen Qi asked: "...Which room? The one that picks you up?"
Su Yan's face turned pale.
As soon as Shen Qi said that, she regretted it - she said it as if anyone in the world would resist the decree and refuse to accept him, and his head could still grow on his neck!
Qinghe is holding one end of the rope alone, and the other end of the rope is the supreme imperial power, the deep and unpredictable city, the soft and hard methods, and the scheming every step of the way. Even if he sincerely wants to resist, how long can he hold back?
If you can't protect the one you love, what position do you have to blame the other party for their failure after trying their best to resist?
"There is a big difference in strength between the two ends of this hook. If you fail after exhaustion, I don't blame you." ——When you say this, is it self-deception or true understanding and distress?
Shen Qi's eyes were red, she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Seeing Shen Qi's appearance, Su Yan felt extremely sad, all the decisions of "doing my best" could not be worth the guilt at this moment.The vowed "but no matter how moved I am, I can't voluntarily climb onto the dragon bed", just like a slap that was rolled back, slapped hard on my face.
Su Yan was extremely ashamed, and suddenly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, like a turtle retracting into its shell, and fell silent.
After a long time, Shen Qi sighed, and also squatted down, letting the gorgeous hem of the flying fish suit be dragged in the dust.He asked Su Yan: "Do you still have me as a gentleman in your heart?"
Su Yan didn't cry, but his face was almost transparent.The sunlight through the leaves of the peach trees seemed to shine through the transparent ice and snow into the internal organs, he wanted to cut his heart out for Shen Qi to see.
"Qilang," Su Yan murmured, "Why do you think my soul came to this world and met you? Is it because God wants me to recognize my weak nature? If one day, I can go back , will everything here return to its original appearance?"
Where does the soul of man come from?Where did you go back to?Is it the Underworld, or the more illusory sky?Shen Qi's complexion changed.
He grabbed Su Yan's wrist, his strength a little out of control: "Where are you going back... No, no, don't say it! The secrets of heaven must not be leaked... I won't force you, just stay in the world, there is no one in your heart." Who... let's talk."
Su Yan couldn't feel the pain in his wrist in a daze, and stroked Shen Qi's face with the other hand: "I don't know, if the opportunity to go back is in front of me, will I hesitate and waver... But at least every time here One day, I can’t just live in vain, and I can’t live up to the dedication and sacrifice you made to me.”
Shen Qi heard the crackling of the wrist bones in her hand, she immediately relaxed her strength, pulled Su Yan up, and sat on the stone bar under the tree together, still wrapping around his shoulders. "Don't go, or I will chase him to the end!"
Su Yan looked up at the sky, there was no cloud in the sky, not to mention the wormholes that are standard in science fiction, there is not even a vision of stormy clouds.He couldn't help laughing at his whims, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in this life."
Shen Qi was overjoyed, and heard him continue to say: "Do you still remember Mei Xian Tang? From then on, I had a premonition that I would never go back."
Of course, Shen Qi remembered that as soon as Su Yan arrived in Gyeonggi, she rushed over in a hurry.It was also in Meixian Tang that Su Yan first took the initiative to respond to his feelings... Now his wife said that it was after that time that he decided to stay in the world and not go back to the underworld, spitting, not to go back to the heaven...or Is it somewhere else, after all, I am not going anywhere!
He couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and asked, "Is it because of me?"
Su Yan asked back, "Do you think I have you in my heart?"
Yes, but there are others too.Shen Qi smiled on her face, but her heart sank. She hugged Su Yan and whispered in his ear: "Go to your room."
Didn't you mean the pick-up house?Su Yan rolled his eyes at him.
Shen Qi gritted her teeth: "Sister-in-law wants to wash you thoroughly from the outside to the inside, so that the whole room will be filled with our smell."
Su Yan's ears warmed up, and he patted his arm: "It's broad daylight, I want to fart! Didn't you say that there is an urgent business to deal with?"
"Have it?"
"The co-authors were all lying to me just now."
Without saying a word, Shen Qi pressed the person on the trunk of the peach tree, kissed him first and then said anything.Su Yan paid a little attention to see if the two servants at home were there.
There is no one in the courtyard.When the two of them chattered and hugged each other under the tree, Xiao Bei and Xiao Jing tactfully avoided them, and they were making lunch in the kitchen right now.
Su Yan was kissed until his bones were crisp and his legs were soft, and when he was lifted up, he punched the other person's back: "I have to go to the doctor's house, you...you come back at night."
In the medical hut, Su Yan walked into the consultation room. One of Chen Shiyu's apprentices was leading a medicine boy to change the bandage on Ruan Hongjiao's face.
Su Yan stopped, and wanted to avoid it out of politeness.
Ruan Hongjiao stopped him. "My lord!" In a weak and eager tone, his voice was trembling with pain, "Doctor, please speed up the bandage, I want to talk to Mr. Su."
The doctor said: "Miss, just talk, turn around and make a hole in the wound on the cheek, so that I can sew it up again for the girl. It's time to practice acupuncture."
Su Yan's tone of voice was a little familiar, but when he looked carefully, it was the middle-aged doctor who had bandaged Shen Qi's cracked wound and scolded him for "new shoots from dead branches"?
He cupped his hands helplessly: "Thank you for your hard work, doctor, I just have a few words with Sister Ruan, and I will pay attention to the injury."
The middle-aged doctor cupped his hands, and walked out of the room with the medicine boy and a tray of bloodstained and medicine-stained bandages.
Su Yan stopped Ruan Hongjiao from getting up and getting out of bed, sat on the round stool in front of the bed, and looked at her head and face which was tightly wrapped in bandages.He said regretfully and sadly: "If it wasn't for me, Sister Ruan wouldn't be hurt, I really..."
Ruan Hongjiao interrupted Su Yan's words: "The servant's family is not just for the son, but for what I think I should do. Besides, since you and I are called siblings in private, we shouldn't see others like this. Isn't it natural for my brother to do something?"
Su Yan was very moved, and was even more worried about her future: "It hurt her face, what will Sister Ruan plan for in the future, will she go back to Rouge Lane again?"
Ruan Hongjiao sighed: "Even if I'm willing to go back, my mother doesn't want it. I've thought about it, since the injury on my face is a foregone conclusion, why don't I take this opportunity to get rid of my fireworks career and live a quiet life for a few days. "
"What do you mean by 'in a few days'! From now on, the affairs of sister Ruan are the affairs of me, Su Qinghe. I will propose to the imperial court to reward you for your righteous deeds, cut off your humble status, and let you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Suffering."
Tears flickered in Ruan Hongjiao's eyes: "Thank you, my lord..."
"Also, you are a single woman. I am afraid that you will not be able to adapt to the place you are familiar with. It just so happened that I got the lease of a big house next door to my house a few days ago. After cleaning, it is still vacant. How about Sister Ruan? Move to that house to live in."
"I am a woman from a brothel, how dare I live in the son's house with the audacity to ruin the son's reputation for nothing."
Su Yan pretended to be angry: "It's a shame that I have a big sister, but you don't even want to do this little favor. I'm about to leave for Shaanxi, and if the house is left vacant, there will be snakes, rats, rats and ants. You can live in it and help me." I am popular, what's wrong with it."
Ruan Hongjiao was surprised and disappointed: "Young Master is going to be released again? You have only returned to Beijing for a few days!"
Su Yan comforted her, and finally persuaded her to move into that house first.Wait for him to come back from Shaanxi before making plans.
The consultation rooms and beds in the medical house are limited. Ruan Hongjiao wanted to make room for other seriously injured patients, so she took a bunch of medicines prepared by Chen Shiyu herself, paid the medical fee, and went home in Su Yan's carriage.
For this reason, Su Yan specially instructed Xiao Bei and Xiao Jing, one to go to the old bustard to ask about Ruan Hongjiao's redemption, and the other to contact her maid and pack all her personal belongings.
Here he was busy working for Ruan Hongjiao, and the news reached King Yu over there——
Said that Su Yan used the house he lost in a bet, the Golden House, to hide his beauty, and he raised a brothel oiran.
When King Yu heard this, he jumped up against the case and rode his horse straight to the Su residence. When he reached the door of the next house, he saw that Su Yan was squatting beside the small stove in the courtyard, decocting medicine for someone!King Yu strode over and asked, "I heard that you've taken another concubine? This king is here to ask for a wedding wine."
Su Yan squinted at him: "My lord is talking nonsense in a strange way! This is the righteous sister I know."
These days, foster relatives are not recognized casually, some are closely related, and their feelings are no different from blood relatives.King Yu laughed and said, "It turns out that she is my aunt, so I should pay a visit."
"What is 'big aunt'! Does it have anything to do with your penny, don't blindly recognize relatives!" Su Yan slapped his arm with a cattail fan, "It's Ruan Hongjiao, the prince has heard of it before."
On the night that Prince Yi Shanju was assassinated, King Yu, Shen Qi and Su Yan were all present, and they knew what happened from Gao Shuo, which naturally included Ruan Hongjiao's courageous move.Knowing that it was her, King Yu was also a little respectful, and clapped his hands and said, "She is a woman who will not let her eyebrows go. Later, I ordered the steward of the mansion to send some medicinal materials, and the medical officer also asked him to come over the next day to see the injury."
Su Yan asked the boy to bring the fried medicine into the house, and then bowed his hands to King Yu: "Xiaguan thanked the lord for Sister Yi."
Yu Wang followed the trend and pulled him to the back garden of the big courtyard, and said as he walked, "Are you going to go to Shaanxi tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"...He didn't even say hello to this king."
"Don't you know all about this, my lord?"
"I know from the palace, and you tell me personally, can it be the same?"
Su Yan smiled: "Your official should bid farewell to the lord in person, and it's not too late now."
King Yu raised his face: "Two words, 'Farewell', do you want to send me away?"
Su Yan was helpless: "Then what is the prince's intention?"
There was no one around, King Yu suddenly turned his footsteps and pulled him into the large rockery with an empty stomach built by Taihu Stone.
Su Yan said vigilantly, "What are you doing!"
"Show you a baby."
"...Don't look! Spicy eyes...I warn you, Zhu Xujing, don't try to be a hooligan again!"
King Yu lifted up the hem of his robe, and took down a small crossbow...from his lap.
Su Yan was slightly taken aback: "'Baby' refers to this."
King Yu smiled: "It's not impossible for you to look at another stronger one."
Su Yan snorted.
"In my early years on the battlefield, I captured the strange-shaped bow and crossbow from several Xiyi mercenaries. They called it the 'scorpion crossbow'."
Su Yan saw that the bow and crossbow were arched, lying on the ground like a scorpion.
King Yu said: "This scorpion crossbow has a long range and is very accurate at close range. Its power cannot be underestimated. However, it is a bit bigger and requires three or four people to control it. After thinking about it for a while, I modified a version that holds a small scorpion crossbow. , it can be manipulated by a single person, and its power will not be much inferior. It just brings you self-defense."
Su Yan likes hot weapons, but he also likes exquisite and efficient cold weapons.However, this item seemed to be King Yu’s favorite, so he felt that it was inappropriate to accept it, so he shook his head and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. I haven’t even learned the bow yet, so let’s forget about this crossbow. The lord keeps it for self-defense. Bar."
King Yu was not annoyed when he was rejected, and chuckled lightly: "You don't know how to use a bow, you can't use a sword, a gun, a sword, or a halberd, and none of the eighteen weapons can do it. You can use the firecracker with some accuracy, but you don't have enough strength to shoot it. I almost broke my wrist."
Su Yan was humiliated and said angrily, "Oh, I'm a feeble scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, so I'm eating your rice for nothing?"
King Yu laughed loudly: "If you are really willing to come and eat!"
Su Yan turned to leave, but was dragged back by him.King Yu put the small scorpion crossbow in his hand and coaxed: "Look, it's not very heavy, and the shooting skills are much simpler than bows, and you can find the feel after practice. You are good at aiming. This crossbow is quite suitable for you. Take it away." Come down."
Su Yan tossed the small scorpion crossbow over and over, liking it more and more, but couldn't help but put his face away.
King Yu said again: "It's not a free gift. Tonight, you come to the palace to have dinner and see Ah Qi? He misses you very much, and cried several times as 'godfather'."
Su Yan: ...
Su Yan: I believe you ghost!
Su Yan said: "The lower officials bought some gifts, and sent them to the prince's mansion to give to the young prince later. Dinner is still waived, I have an urgent business to attend to."
King Yu sneered: "I'm leaving tomorrow morning, what business can I do tonight? Okay, then I will sit in your courtyard and wait for you to come back after finishing your business—you won't stay out all night, will you?"
Su Yan: ...
Su Yan: What should I do?Even if I ask Qilang to go outside, King Yu's brown sugar will stick to him.But if I complied with the appointment of the palace, Qilang would definitely be angry.
Su Yan thought about it, but he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. He said helplessly, "Tonight there is a juggling show in Dongshi. Children like to watch ball jumping, walking rope, and fish and dragons. I'll take my son to watch the juggling. The prince won't use it to join in the fun, anyway, if you let you bring a child, you will throw it away."
Since the pigeons on one side will not give up on the other side-then let them go together.
——Isn't Xiao Shizi cute?
He knew that Su Yan had to go to Shaanxi again, and the departure time would be around March, but no matter how much mental preparation he had made, when the moment of parting really came, it was always difficult to accept.
Su Yan nodded and took his hand: "Don't worry, I guess the time to go this time will not be longer than the last time, at least three to five months, at most half a year and I will be back."
Half a year after half a year, how many half a year in life can be used for two worries?Faced with this situation where there is more separation and less gathering, the two fell silent at the same time.
Su Yan felt that the atmosphere was dull, so he joked, "Why don't you quit your job and come to be my bodyguard?"
Shen Qi was about to get up as soon as she pressed the handle of the knife, Su Yan asked: "Where are you going?"
Shen Qi replied: "Study, write the letter of resignation."

"—So what?" Shen Qi asked back.
Su Yan's expression became serious: "Qilang, you and I both know that you can't do this."
Of course Shen Qi knew.Abandoning his official position now, it is true that he can stay with his wife for a while, but what about after returning to Beijing?There is still such a long career to go, without enough status, how can he and Qinghe support each other in the court's wind and frost sword in the future?

On the night that Prince Yi Shanju was assassinated, King Yu, Shen Qi and Su Yan were all present, and they knew what happened from Gao Shuo, which naturally included Ruan Hongjiao's courageous move.Knowing that it was her, King Yu was also a little respectful, and clapped his hands and said, "She is a woman who will not let her eyebrows go. Later, I ordered the steward of the mansion to send some medicinal materials, and the medical officer also asked him to come over the next day to see the injury."
Su Yan asked the boy to bring the fried medicine into the house, and then bowed his hands to King Yu: "Xiaguan thanked the lord for Sister Yi."
Yu Wang followed the trend and pulled him to the back garden of the big courtyard, and said as he walked, "Are you going to go to Shaanxi tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"...He didn't even say hello to this king."
"Don't you know all about this, my lord?"
"I know from the palace, and you tell me personally, can it be the same?"
Su Yan smiled: "Your official should bid farewell to the lord in person, and it's not too late now."
King Yu raised his face: "Two words, 'Farewell', do you want to send me away?"
Su Yan was helpless: "Then what is the prince's intention?"
There was no one around, King Yu suddenly turned his footsteps and pulled him into the large rockery with an empty stomach built by Taihu Stone.
Su Yan said vigilantly, "What are you doing!"
"Show you a baby."
"...Don't look! Spicy eyes...I warn you, Zhu Xujing, don't try to be a hooligan again!"
King Yu lifted up the hem of his robe, and took down a small crossbow...from his lap.
Su Yan was slightly taken aback: "'Baby' refers to this."
King Yu smiled: "It's not impossible for you to look at another stronger one."
Su Yan snorted.
"In my early years on the battlefield, I captured the strange-shaped bow and crossbow from several Xiyi mercenaries. They called it the 'scorpion crossbow'."
Su Yan saw that the bow and crossbow were arched, lying on the ground like a scorpion.
King Yu said: "This scorpion crossbow has a long range and is very accurate at close range. Its power cannot be underestimated. However, it is a bit bigger and requires three or four people to control it. After thinking about it for a while, I modified a version that holds a small scorpion crossbow. , it can be manipulated by a single person, and its power will not be much inferior. It just brings you self-defense."
Su Yan likes hot weapons, but he also likes exquisite and efficient cold weapons.However, this item seemed to be King Yu’s favorite, so he felt that it was inappropriate to accept it, so he shook his head and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. I haven’t even learned the bow yet, so let’s forget about this crossbow. The lord keeps it for self-defense. Bar."
King Yu was not annoyed when he was rejected, and chuckled lightly: "You don't know how to use a bow, you can't use a sword, a gun, a sword, or a halberd, and none of the eighteen weapons can do it. You can use the firecracker with some accuracy, but you don't have enough strength to shoot it. I almost broke my wrist."
Su Yan was humiliated and said angrily, "Oh, I'm a feeble scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, so I'm eating your rice for nothing?"
King Yu laughed loudly: "If you are really willing to come and eat!"
Su Yan turned to leave, but was dragged back by him.King Yu put the small scorpion crossbow in his hand and coaxed: "Look, it's not very heavy, and the shooting skills are much simpler than bows, and you can find the feel after practice. You are good at aiming. This crossbow is quite suitable for you. Take it away." Come down."
Su Yan tossed the small scorpion crossbow over and over, liking it more and more, but couldn't help but put his face away.
King Yu said again: "It's not a free gift. Tonight, you come to the palace to have dinner and see Ah Qi? He misses you very much, and cried several times as 'godfather'."
Su Yan: ...
Su Yan: I believe you ghost!
Su Yan said: "The lower officials bought some gifts, and sent them to the prince's mansion to give to the young prince later. Dinner is still waived, I have an urgent business to attend to."
King Yu sneered: "I'm leaving tomorrow morning, what business can I do tonight? Okay, then I will sit in your courtyard and wait for you to come back after finishing your business—you won't stay out all night, will you?"
Su Yan: ...
Su Yan: What should I do?Even if I ask Qilang to go outside, King Yu's brown sugar will stick to him.But if I complied with the appointment of the palace, Qilang would definitely be angry.
Su Yan thought about it, but he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. He said helplessly, "Tonight there is a juggling show in Dongshi. Children like to watch ball jumping, walking rope, and fish and dragons. I'll take my son to watch the juggling. The prince won't use it to join in the fun, anyway, if you let you bring a child, you will throw it away."
Since the pigeons on one side will not give up on the other side-then let them go together.
