"Shiju, after a long absence, what is it like in the body?"

Yu Yi led a group of guards of the forbidden army, day and night, to meet Shen Chong and his accompanying huge convoy on the shore of Lian Lake. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Shen Chong saw Yu Yi greeting him, he also smiled, jumped off the car, and strode from afar: "It was Uncle Pre who greeted him personally, which really flattered me!" ”

Feeling Shen Chong's enthusiasm, Yu Yi's mood was much more cheerful, and the slight sense of alienation that he hadn't seen for a long time was gone, and his mood returned to the state of being happy in the barracks back then, stepped forward to hold Shen Chong's arm, raised his head and laughed: "Shiju commands a place, crosses the sea to break thieves, and the famous book is now, and I feel honored to be an old friend!" ”

As he spoke, he introduced the situation of the general of the guards who accompanied him to Shen Chong.

The six guards of the forbidden army are mostly served by the children of Danyang, and the Ji family has a prestige in the army. Although Ji Zhan has passed away, the influence has not dissipated, and most of the children of the Ji family are among the guards, and this Ji is now the general of the left guard, and he is the most prominent person in the Danyang Ji clan today.

Shen Chong stepped forward to greet Ji Guan and said with a smile: "When the child returns home, it is often said that Ji Jun is elegant, and he feels guilty for his offense in previous years. Seeing Ji Jun today, I should apologize to Ji Jun for my offending behavior that day. ”

Ji Guo Rongjia was in his body, and after hearing the words, he hurriedly responded with a military salute, and said: "Make the king's words heavy, so that Lang Zhezi Xiaolang Jun is smart and beautiful, and the last general is thinking about it now, and the wonderful language is still in his ears." My family's literature is now also in the Zunfu Mansion, so that you can take care of it. Today, Rong Jia is in his body, and he is disrespectful. The next day, I should pay tribute to the king's mansion and thank you for the old favor. ”

After greeting each other, they continued on the road, and Shen Chong invited Yu Yi to take a ride, and they talked happily all the way. Another day, it will pass through the northwest Yanque Lake of Jiankang City and arrive at Qingxi, when it is about to enter the city, Yu Yi said with a smile: "Shiju comes to the south, I am the landlord." There are still a few days left in the period of the court, so it is better to go to Changganli, and I will lead Shiju to visit Jiankang today. ”

Before the words fell, Ji Jing stepped forward and said apologetically: "I want to let the envoy and Yu Sanqi ruin, I am ordered by the emperor to make the king arrive in Beijing, you can go straight to the east of the city Tongyuan for resettlement." The edict is here, and I hope you two will forgive me. ”

Hearing this, Yu Yi was slightly stunned, he got the guidance of his eldest brother to arrange Shen Chong's itinerary, and he didn't think it was any different. However, Ji Guo suddenly said that the emperor's order was in his body, which was contrary to the words of the eldest brother, which made him feel a little strange. Now that he has been tempered by political affairs, he is no longer as ignorant as before, even if he smells a few traces of unusual meaning.

After taking a deep look at Ji Qian, Yu Yi turned to look at Shen Chong again, and said in a rather sincere tone: "I am very happy when my best friends are reunited, I really don't know that General Ji has been edicted. ”

Ji Jing's expression was calm, he just did what he was ordered, and the rest didn't think deeply.

Seeing Yu Yi's slightly stunned expression, Shen Chong's heart moved slightly. He has a talent for trickery, and he knows it when he sees it, and he already has a little guess about Yu's considerations. He took Yu Yi's hand and said with a smile: "This time I entered the capital, I was supposed to report on my work. Having won the emperor's order, he did not dare to disobey it. My uncle and I are not against our hearts, how can there be a place for thorns to breed. After the audience, he should raise a glass with his uncle. It's just that there are many affairs in the county, and the rest of the children don't have to see each other again! ”

The implication is that he and Yu Yi are inseparable from each other, and they are close friends with each other, and they believe in each other. Other people's considerations can't interfere with the friendship between the two. It's just that the personal friendship between the two no longer has to be mixed with irrelevant human contacts. It is self-evident who this irrelevant person is.

When Yu Yi heard this, he was moved, ashamed, and interspersed with regret. Between the eldest brother and Shen Chong, there seems to be a misunderstanding, one side is a close relative, the other side is a close friend, he is caught in the middle, although he can still seek common ground while reserving differences, but seeing that each other's hearts are difficult to eliminate, he can't help but feel a little depressed.

Seeing that Shen Chong and his party were traveling with Su Wei to the Tongyuan built outside the East Palace before the current emperor ascended the throne, Yu Yi felt quite sad in his heart, and there was no lack of resentment. The friendship between him and Shen Chong does not have too many trade-offs between them, and it seems a little abrupt to listen to the guidance of the eldest brother this time.

For a while, he was inevitably a little depressed, and he didn't want to go home again, so he ordered his servants and said, "Go to Qinhuai to say goodbye." ”

Shen Chong looked back at Yu Yi's somewhat lost figure on the car, and he felt quite a lot in his heart. He befriended Yu Yi out of his son's plan, and he did have some trade-offs and considerations at the beginning. But today, there are not too many interests entangled, and even if there is a union, it is all over Yu Yi and echoing his brother Yu Liang.

But Yu Yi is a person with a pure temperament and a lot of innocence, which made Shen Chong quite moved. Therefore, he does have the heart to maintain this friendship. No matter how proud or frustrated you are in life, you can have one or two true friends who can drink and talk without worries, and you can be regarded as having no regrets.

However, thinking of the previous incident, Shen Chong's brows furrowed slightly. Ji Guo was ordered to settle himself, but Yu Yi didn't know it, so it can be seen that the emperor and Yu's relatives have been estranged. If you think about this matter deeply, there is too much charm for careful smacking.

Shen Chong pondered for a long time, and couldn't figure out which might be greater, and then recalled that before leaving, his son suddenly said that this time he entered Beijing or there was a courtesy beyond the specifications of the people, so there was no need to hesitate, and he accepted it calmly.

Foreign ministers return to the court to report on their work, and there has always been a practice to follow in their manners. Although all etiquette was simple and convenient after Dingli Jiangdong, he did not hear that the foreign ministers returned to the court and went straight to the old garden of the Son of Heaven. Could it be that what the son said about the courtesy beyond the specifications of the ministers, is this?

For the first time in his life, Shen Chong couldn't understand the reason why his son suddenly had this theory. In his opinion, after the extermination of the Yan family, although the Shen family has a prominent position in Wuzhong, it is at most only the position of Liyang Su Jun. But even if Liyang returned to the dynasty several times before, he never lived in Tongyuan. What is the reason for such courtesy?

Take it in stride? Shen Chong has always planned before acting, even if it is a risk, he also thinks more about the consequences he will face in the future. But this time in the face of such a treacherous situation, how can I be calm for a while. As a result, he was extremely uncomfortable with his son's behavior of speaking half of his words, and he thought in his heart that he would teach this stinky boy a lesson after returning home this time, and he couldn't say anything to his father about what he thought!

With deep doubts, Shen Chong and the others walked for more than half an hour before entering the Tongyuan in the east of the city. This palace is not very beautiful, but the location is extremely important, so that it can lead directly to the inner garden of the Son of Heaven to the west! Not only Shen Chong was placed here, but even the subordinate cars he accompanied were not hindered. In other words, if Shen Chong has bad thoughts, he can lead his elite troops to rush straight into the Inner Yuan Palace!

Such a credible treatment made Shen Chong even more suspicious. Although there was an edict from the emperor, he did not dare to hold it up, so that the subordinates gathered outside the Tongyuan, and he only brought his personal servants to live here. If the emperor has malicious intentions towards him, he can't protect him from Jiankang with just more than a thousand parts. In this case, it is better to abide by the duty of a minister.

After sending off the record, Shen Chong lived in a room in this slightly simple palace, and did not tour around, so he copied the gift list he carried indoors, and offered it a few days later.

In the evening, Shen Chong was just about to pass the meal, when he suddenly saw Ji Jing entering the garden again, and hurriedly greeted him.

Seeing that Shen Chong had not rested, Ji Guan breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty has arrived in Tongyuan, so please make some preparations and go to meet me with you." ”

Seeing Shen Chong's expression change, Ji Jing leaned in and whispered: "You don't have to be suspicious, just deal with it normally." ”

Shen Chong bowed slightly, after the friendship between the Ji family and the Shen family, it is well known to the world, although I don't know why the emperor suddenly came, but since he let Ji Guo accompany him to pass it on, it is for his heart. Returning to the room to tidy up his appearance slightly, Shen Chong put the gift list in his arms, and then hurriedly went out, and walked with Ji Jing to the depths of Tongyuan.

Walking all the way to a palace, seeing a class of sword armor soldiers standing in front of the door, Shen Chong's heart moved, and he hurriedly took a breath, and stopped before walking into the hall with Ji Zheng. After waiting for a while, an attendant went out and invited Shen Chong to enter the hall.

Shen Chong took a few deep breaths, walked into the hall, and looked at the hall first, and saw a young man wearing regular clothes, with a slightly yellow beard, describing a slightly haggard young man, which matched his son's description of the emperor's appearance characteristics, so he hurried to the hall to bow down: "Minister Wu Xing Shen Chong, see Your Majesty." ”

Since Shen Chong entered the hall, the emperor stared at his every move with burning eyes, and only then did he smile and say: "Shen Hou, please take a seat, I know that Shen Hou is tired of traveling and driving, and he should be tired." It's just that Si Xian is like a disease, and he comes uninvited, Shen Hou doesn't mind. ”

Shen Chong hurriedly bowed again: "How dare you be a virtuous person." The courtesy is so generous inside and outside, it's really scary. His Majesty's trust was respected, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and since he took office, he has trembled. Today, I have to worship in front of the rhim, listen to the emperor's teachings, and it is difficult to show myself. Only with this congratulatory watch, I hope that Your Majesty will enjoy the spring and autumn forever, and the four seas will be subdued. ”

As he spoke, he held up the congratulatory message for the audience in his arms, handed it to the chamberlain, and then got up and slowly retreated into the seat.

The emperor took the gift slip and glanced at it, his eyebrows jumped, and then he gently closed it on the table, and said with a smile: "Xiang Nian, I once saw the son of Shen Hou, Lingxiu was born and impressed, but he didn't offer a clumsy poem and a farm tool. Today, Shen Hou is courteous, is it to compensate for the previous loss? ”

Shen Chong bowed his head sideways and said: "This is incivility, it is the payment of the thief by the minister, and it is temporarily stored in the county. ”

Hearing this, the emperor smiled, then picked up the gift list and flipped through it carefully, his brows gradually frowned and slowly relaxed, and when he looked at Shen Chong again, his expression was a little more relaxed: "Wu Zhong raised this giant Kou, if it weren't for Shen Hou's contributions, I don't know how long to indulge in evil!" ”

"The Yan family's thief was originally Wu Xingyu's first sign of detection, and the ministers followed suit, and they didn't dare to take credit."

The emperor smiled and didn't speak, and then passed the meal, and invited Shen Chong to eat in the palace. After more than half an hour, the meal was finished, and the emperor got up, looking extremely hearty, and said to Shen Chong: "I have heard the name of Shen Hou for a long time, and today's small gathering is not considered to be fun. Before coming to the Japanese court, the country was discussed. Shen Hou is tired of traveling and driving, it is better to rest early, and I will not bother anymore. ”

With that, the emperor walked out of the hall, and Shen Chong hurriedly got up and followed. Walking to the front of the palace door, there was a night breeze blowing, the emperor's robe was lifted slightly, Shen Chong glanced sideways and saw a corner of the robe under his ribs, which seemed to be blood stains, and his heart was cold, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the mystery seemed to sort out a little clue.

The emperor smiled and talked to Shen Chong for a few more words, and then went on the step, Shen Chong groaned a little, and suddenly walked to the front of the step and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "The white dragon fish suit, it is not the luck of the country, please ask Your Majesty to plan for the society, and you can't do it again!" The night is cold and windy, and the minister is willing to escort him back to the palace with a halberd! ”

Hearing Shen Chong's words, the emperor was slightly stunned, and after a while, the smile on his face became more and more kind: "Shen Hou is already a high merit for my herding land, how can he do this for this little job again." ”

"The monarch and the country, if you have the trust of the monarch, how dare you talk about the humility of the position!"

Shen Chong bowed again and got up, then took a halberd from the hand of the armorer, and stood respectfully on the side of the chariot, not squinting. It's just that the afterglow swept across the cold stars in the sky, and suddenly felt a little sad because of the impermanence of fate. Today, the emperor came to meet him like a friend, and no matter what his intentions were, he was indeed a little moved in his heart.

The sadness in my heart may not be caused by people, but only by things, scenery, and the difficulties of the world. The sky is like a net, and everyone is in prison.
