Xiaolou listened to the wind and rain all night

Gu Xiaotian glanced at Ye Mochu and said, "Mochu, you go to the inner courtyard to handle your business."

Ye Mochu glanced at Mo Huaijin worriedly before turning around and leaving.

Gu Xiaotian entered the study, followed by Yan Yunyou and Mo Huaijin.

"This subordinate is ineffective, please punish me." Mo Huaijin said, lifted his robe, and knelt down straight again.

Yan Yunyou immediately followed and knelt down: "It's the apprentice who made a bad idea, please master to punish."

Gu Xiaotian didn't speak, and said after a long while: "Get up, everyone is begging for punishment, and the matter has already happened."

He glanced at Yan Yunyou, and then said: "Today, the three divisions will be interrogated, and Prime Minister Zhou and His Highness the Fifth Highness will be in attendance. I have already arranged everything, why do you want to testify in court?"

Yan Yunyou replied: "Because Zhou Yu cannot die."

"The reason." Gu Xiaotian said in a deep voice, "Don't tell me, it's because of the Second Highness."

"Of course not." Yan Yunyou replied: "Master can understand the reason for this. Zhou Yu is the prime minister. If this action pulls him off the horse, it will involve too much. The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister , These people occupy a part of the court hall. The Beiyi war has just ended, and a large number of officials have been sacked. It is rumored that not only the people in Nanjing are not stable, but there may be another disturbance, and it is unknown whether outsiders may take the opportunity to cause chaos."

Gu Xiaotian didn't answer, his expression softened a little, as if he was thinking about the truth of Yan Yunyou's words.

After a while he asked: "Huaijin, what should we do in your opinion?"

"This subordinate is dull." Mo Huaijin bowed his head and said, "This subordinate feels that what Mr. Yan said makes sense."

Gu Xiaotian couldn't help it, with a little smile on his face: "With me, you dare to push a thousand catties."

Mo Huaijin heaved a sigh of relief, and replied, "It's the adults who taught me well."

Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, looked at Yan Yunyou pointedly: "Don't put a high hat on me, if I really teach well, how could I teach such a stupid apprentice."

In fact, what Yan Yunyou said was not unreasonable, and these Gu Xiaotians also understood, but if he didn't take this opportunity to overthrow Zhou Yu, he would never have a chance in the future.

He let out a long breath and said, "So the current situation can only be maintained so reluctantly."

"Yes." Yan Yunyou replied: "I pointed out those things about buying and selling officials. Just this thing will bring down many corrupt officials, so my trip is not in vain."

That's the way it is said, and so is the reasoning.But Gu Xiaotian still felt something was wrong.He went on to say: "Your Highness the Fifth Highness values ​​you very much. I'm afraid he will misunderstand what you've done. I'll go to the door some other day to clarify, and I'll talk to His Highness. Before the crown prince is established, everything should not be too deadlocked."

Yan Yunyou was taken aback, and asked: "But, aren't we on the team of His Highness and His Highness Fifth? If we don't try our best, how can we win?"

Gu Xiaotian smiled and shook his head: "Yunyou, you are still too young to understand this court."

Mo Huaijin, who was on the side, explained: "The Imperial City Secretary will never lose. We are not standing on the side of His Royal Highness, nor His Second Highness. It is the Emperor."

The reason why the Imperial City Division can stay firmly in the court is because it has only one master.That master is the current emperor.

It is a wise move not to express your attitude in advance.

Those who can take charge of the Imperial City Division must be very skilled.Today, Yan Yunyou saw it for the first time.

Gu Xiaotian waved his hand and said: "Go down, let me think about this matter again. Now that the matter has been done, there is no turning back. The emperor is very concerned about this matter, and wants the third division to find out the result as soon as possible. I am afraid It won't be too long. What happened in Dali Temple today will be reported to the emperor verbatim, and you two will enter the palace with me tomorrow."

Mo Huaijin continued: "This subordinate obeys orders."

A palace banquet is a grand banquet for all the ministers, so it is only natural to go.

Tomorrow was to celebrate Yan Qingyuan, Yan Yunyou had to admit that she was a little nervous, and wanted to see his nominal father.Maybe tomorrow's palace banquet will see Shen Yihan and Shen Yixuan.

I will definitely meet you.See you sooner or later, avoiding is not an option, there are still many things to face in the future.

Yan Yunyou continued: "Disciple listen to Master."

The night is not long, the sun rises and the moon sets.But a lot can happen overnight.

Yu Shan, the servant of the household department, committed suicide in fear of crime in the prison of Dali Temple.

He was a repeat offender, and someone was specially guarding him at night, so he was afraid that something might go wrong, but after a moment of divine effort, this man wanted to die.

He hit his forehead directly against the wall with such force that it seemed that he had decided to go.

Someone had a problem in Dali Temple, Dali Temple Minister Fang Yu was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, but it happened that today was another palace banquet, so it would be bad to offend Long Yan.

The Imperial City Division soon got the news.

Gu Xiaotian had expected that something would happen, but he was extremely calm.Right now this matter can be put aside, the most difficult thing is the palace banquet at night.

It's not that he doesn't know the relationship between Yan Yunyou and Yan Qingyuan, nor that he doesn't know that Yan Qingyuan is the protagonist of today's palace banquet.

But Yan Yunyou had to go.

The emperor appreciated him very much for his outstanding appearance in Dali Temple yesterday, and half of his credit for borrowing food and grass. Yan Yunyou must go to this palace banquet.

there's always a solution to any problem.

Gu Xiaotian wrote two sentences with a pen and asked them to send them back to Dali Temple, and then called Yan Yunyou to the study to explain the matter.

Palace banquets have always been grand banquets, and they are not comparable to the things arranged by those officials.

Still brightly lit, still singing and dancing.

Gu Xiaotian has a lot of experience and is a celebrity in front of the emperor, so he sits close to the emperor.Zhou Yu and Yan Qingyuan were sitting on the left and the other drinking tea.

The emperor still brought Concubine Lan Gui to attend, and His Highness sat with several princes.Except for the third prince, the faces of the others were not very good-looking.

Repelling the Beiyi and saving lives from desperation is a great contribution to Nanjing.What's more, the prime minister is in danger now, Yan Qingyuan is undoubtedly the most dazzling person at this palace banquet.

The emperor wanted to drink three glasses of wine with General Yan even though he was sick.

It was at this time that Yan Yunyou saw the man.

He had a long beard and a lean, lean build.If it weren't for the few silver strands in his hair, his age could hardly be discerned.In the face of everyone's greetings and compliments, he only responded lightly.Perhaps his face was darkened due to years of fighting.

This is his father.

Yan Yunyou was fascinated, she didn't notice Shen Yixuan who was also staring at her, and she didn't prevent Yan Qingyuan from looking over too, the two of them were looking straight at each other.

In addition to anger and panic, there was also a trace of inexplicable emotion that came up in my heart.Yan Yunyou lowered his head, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp to hide the unnaturalness on his face.

Yan Qingyuan felt strange, looked at the delicate young man next to Gu Xiaotian, and asked Yan Rufeng in a low voice: "Who is that young man next to Liu Tiju? How could he look familiar?"

Yan Rufeng replied: "That man is a friend of His Highness the Fifth Highness, and now he seems to be very appreciated by Mr. Liu, and he has been in the Imperial City Department." After speaking, he looked at Yan Qingyuan's face, and said worriedly: "Father, don't you drink too much? Yes, I have only met him a few times, he has been in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has only come to Chang'an in the past two months. How could you meet him when you are away all year round. "

"Are you also in the south of the Yangtze River?" Yan Qingyuan seemed to be talking to himself, before he said in a short while, "I asked you to look for someone a few months ago, what was the result?"

"No news." Yan Rufeng poured a glass of wine: "After so many years, maybe they have left long ago. I will definitely find my brother and mother."

Yan Qingyuan sighed: "Your mother must be willing to forgive me." Looking back at Yan Yunyou, Yan Qingyuan drank the wine in his hand.

Suddenly a sound came from the hall, and the noisy hall suddenly became quiet. "Today, I let all my lovers come here to commend General Yan's achievements. General Yan's defeat of Beiyi this time is really a blessing for me in Nanjing."

"I dare not take the credit." Yan Qingyuan stood up and replied, "Thanks to His Majesty Fifth Highness for borrowing food and grass."

The sick emperor suddenly smiled, it was a proud smile, he smiled and nodded at Shen Yixuan.Then he continued: "Compared with the general going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, this is really nothing."

Yan Qingyuan replied: "The princes are so insightful at such a young age, this is my blessing in Nanjing."

Zhou Yu remained silent with a dark face, and all the ministers nodded appreciatively.

Shen Yixuan glanced at Yan Yunyou who was sitting across from him, stood up and replied, "I don't dare to take credit for it. Jinling Tianshui Villa borrowed the money, and the credit goes to Yan Yunyou. He was the one who moved Tianshui Villa. host."

The emperor was very satisfied with this answer, he smiled and said: "If you have meritorious service, you must be rewarded. Is Yan Yunyou here?"

Yan Yunyou did not expect that Shen Yixuan would actually drag him in in front of so many people.

He only hoped that the emperor would be too old and dim to recognize him at this moment.What happened that night can also be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor.He got up and replied: "Yan Yunyou, a grassroots man, has met the emperor."

Almost all eyes were on him, there were not many people who could be named and rewarded by the emperor himself, let alone this young boy who looked so young.

The emperor looked at him for a while before asking: "Do you want money or an official position?"

Yan Yunyou walked into the hall in a few steps, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "The grassroots don't ask for rewards, but today I beg for the people, and ask the emperor to repair the Jiangnan River embankment."

The emperor frowned: "Jiangnan?"

Yan Yunyou replied: "Yes, the south of the Yangtze River is a land of fish and rice. This time, thanks to the stock of food, we were able to relieve the crisis. If there is more water, there will be more floods."

"However, I sent a lot of disaster relief funds to ask the local officials to strengthen the dam."

"There are a lot of people near the Huaihe River, and many people die every time there is a flood. The reason why the water level of the Huaihe River is high is because the vegetation on both sides of the river is sparse, causing quicksand to flow into the river and silting up the river. The reason why the embankment broke was because officials were corrupt and ate up the money for the dam. The building materials are not refined. There is an example of Dayu’s flood control in ancient times. If you want to control the water, you should not only build dams to retain the water, but dredge the sediment at the bottom of the river, and dig multiple river channels to divert the flood. Corrupt officials who endanger the safety of the people. As for the plague, medical officials should be sent to solve it, these are not things that disaster money can solve.”

The emperor nodded appreciatively, and the officials began to talk more and more.

At this moment, everyone was looking at the young man in the palace.

Yan Qingyuan only felt that there seemed to be light in this young man.

Shen Yixuan felt a lot of pride in his heart, Yan Yunyou has always been so outstanding.

Shen Yihan's eyes were dim and unclear, this boy was no longer the kid who nestled in his mansion back then.
