There are many treasures in this country

Xiao Suo did not dodge.

Shen Yan's palms were slightly sweaty, he was afraid of pinching him if he was too strong, and afraid that he would break away if his strength was weak.Thinking about General Shen's wandering half his life, when did he ever have such a useless situation of being at a loss!

Xiao Suo turned his face to look at Lushan's Claw on his right shoulder, looked at the stage and said indifferently: "It's not right for the general to do this."

Shen Yan was hung by him these days, scratching his ears and cheeks like a hungry mouse, he couldn't bear it any longer, trembling his hands slightly, hugged him tighter, his throat moved up and down, his heart swayed, and he simply said bluntly: "This general I'm a warrior, I'm used to being straightforward, and I don't know how to beat around the bush. I'm good at it...I can't change it. You...how are you?"

"Student..." Xiao Suo stared at the front, "Student doesn't know."

Shen Yan was overjoyed, it was better not to know than to not want to, not knowing was half the possibility!He reluctantly let go of him, wanting to shake his slender hands again, but finally endured it and went back, not daring to do anything wrong.

Xiao Suo sat upright, neither humble nor overbearing from the beginning to the end.

After the play ended, Shen Yan made arrangements to see off the guests, and the quarrel lasted until midnight.Xiao Suo went back to the bedroom to study silently, but his heart was still restless, always thinking about what he said, it was like a fire was burning on his shoulders, it was burning badly.

Another day later, news came from central Beijing that Lord Yan Jun had been promoted to the third rank of Zuodu Censor.Shen Yan repaired a letter of congratulations and ordered it to be sent to the capital on the eleventh day. By the way, he asked him when the imperial decree on the case of "fake gift silver" would come down.

Without the emperor's decree, he has no right to go to the government office to investigate the case.No matter the decree is clear or secret, there must be a decree in hand before we can act, otherwise Chen Jigu will not cooperate.Although the Holy Majesty gave him a handwritten letter last time, he didn't dare to use the short three-line reprimand.

On the [-]th, he went to Beijing again. Fortunately, Yuezhou Prefecture is not far from the capital, and the official road is also easy to go. It can be reached in three days, so it is not too tiring.

On the contrary, Yan Jun was considerate of him, and asked with a smile at the first sight: "Shen Wenyu has become more and more capable of tossing people, and ordered you to run back and forth. Why send a special letter for such a trivial matter? I remember that he never likes such vain rituals!"

Eleven clasped his hands together and said: "Your Excellency has outstanding talents, and he was promoted to the imperial censor by leaps and bounds. I am so overjoyed, how can I not congratulate you!"

Yan Jun shook his head and smiled and said, "Even you have learned how to be naughty! It's just that I am outstanding, but the emperor saw that I was struggling and rewarded me with a new official uniform, but the people below took the wrong one from the imperial censor." Obedience to rank. You are not joking, Master Zheng of the Ministry of Rites said something nice to me again, and the Holy One had no choice but to reluctantly bestow this official position on me."

Eleven was a little dumbfounded. From ancient times to the present, he has never heard of such a promotion, so he nodded and said, "Mmm...my lord is so lucky that no one can match him!"

Yan Jun said: "Big luck? This matter has become a joke in Beijing!" Picking up a letter from the table, putting it in a big envelope, sealing it with red wax, said: "Okay, go back and tell him Just this story. Pass this letter to him by the way. Remember, don’t let it fall into the hands of others!”

Eleven took it, Fang wanted to leave, and heard him say: "By the way, Xisheng has been talking about you these days, go and see her before you go back."

Eleven responded.

Yan Jun looked at his receding back, recalling the scene in the court hall that day, and couldn't help feeling afraid for a while.He understood what the emperor meant the next day.

That morning before the court, he was holding Yunhe court clothes, whether he was wearing it or not.It was bestowed by the Holy Majesty, if you don’t wear it, you won’t give him face, and you will definitely offend the holy face; but the rank of the government does not match his official position, and it may be a crime of usurpation to wear it.

It was still Xi Sheng, holding a bitten oil circle in his hand, smiling at him with big eyes blinking: "How nice to wear new clothes! I want to wear them too, but I don't have any!"

Yan Jun suddenly understood that others wanted to wear it but didn't have it, and since he had it, he had to wear it even if he didn't want to.Even if he committed the crime of usurpation, the emperor asked him to commit it. If he didn't wear it, the emperor would be angry, and he might die without a place to bury him.

So Yan Yushi really went to the court wearing the Yunhe robe, and all the civil and military officials in the hall looked sideways, pointing and pointing, but they didn't dare to ask him explicitly.Everyone has their calculations in their hearts, and Yan Jun is not delusional, so there is no inside story in doing so.

Little did they know that Yan Jun's back was drenched with cold sweat.

When the emperor ascended the throne, he saw his clothes and asked with satisfaction: "Yanqing, why did you wear a cloud and crane robe to court today? I remember, according to your grade, you should wear a peacock robe, right?"

Yan Jun hurriedly kowtowed and confessed his crime: "I am guilty of exceeding the etiquette and arrogance, and I deserve death. I dare not ask for forgiveness. But I have a sympathy, please forgive me."

Huan Ye picked up the teacup before the case, took a sip slowly, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Yan Jun repeated his words, and finally said: "Back to the emperor, when I met the emperor yesterday, the emperor sympathized and gave me two sets of new court uniforms. I was so excited at the time, I was only thinking of thanking the heavenly family for my kindness, but I forgot to open them. Go back After I got home, I offered incense and found that there were actually two Yunhe robes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Huai knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's my slave's negligence, and this slave deserves death!" The timing was right, not too early, not too late.

Yan Jun hurriedly said: "It's common to take clothes by mistake. It's just that the court clothes were given by the sage, and I dare not not wear them, so I'm wearing them today. I'm guilty, please the emperor." Punishment!"

Everyone in the hall kept their voices and held their breath, not sure what the holy will would be.

The emperor paused, and asked the man below with a gray beard, an old man, and piercing eyes: "Zheng Qing, you are the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and you know the rules best. How do you deal with this matter?"

Zheng Duo's word is Gangsheng, he is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades, so he naturally understands that this matter is ordered by the emperor, and it is just a play.

At this moment, he can only say good things, and he dare not tear down the stage, because he said: "Back to the emperor, the so-called 'no joke'. No matter whether it was taken by mistake or not, once you have been rewarded, there is no reason to change your words. But for the official position of an adult, wearing a cloud crane robe , It is also unreasonable. The old minister has the courage to ask the emperor to advance to the official position of your lord!"

Before Huan Ye could open his mouth, Liu Yuzhou, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "Reporting to the emperor, I think that Mr. Zheng's words are really inappropriate. As a censor, Zhongcheng can't even see an official robe clearly. Really neglected! If you are not punished for the crime, you will be promoted, which is unreasonable. If everyone is promoted by this clever means, the Ministry of officials will no longer be able to save it!"

Chen Jidao, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, seconded the proposal.

Dali Temple Minister Wei Lan also said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed something wrong with the Jin entrustment, why not give both kindness and power."

Huan Ye put down his teacup, and said in a deep voice: "It is my will that Jin Yanjun will be appointed as Yushitai Zuodu Yushi, with a third-rank title, and given a Yunhe robe. Yanjun is also guilty of negligence, and will be fined for one year. .” Glancing at Liu Yuzhou, he asked him, “Liu Qing, how about this?”

Liu Yuzhou was so frightened that he kowtowed and confessed: "Your Majesty is wise, but my minister is dull, please forgive me!"

After the dynasty was dispersed, all the officials came to congratulate.

Yan Jun agreed one by one, but he felt different in his heart: For a poor official like him, promotion is the next thing to do, and the fine will kill him!

After all the officials left, Wei Lan came up to him and smiled, "Brother Yan, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Xiaofeng, stop teasing me!" Yan Jun walked out together with him, "If it weren't for your sentence of 'benevolent and powerful', how could I have fined my salary for one year! Now that I have no salary, I have to take Xi Sheng with me. Your house is ruined!"

Wei Lan said: "Since that's the case, let's just mortgage the house and move the whole family to my house. Why bother to make money!"

Yan Jun looked at his radiant face, and said softly, "Xiaofeng is used to making jokes."

Walking outside the palace, Wei Lan got on the sedan chair, and said again: "Shu Huai, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, you have to be careful!"

Yan Jun smiled slightly, watched him leave, and his heart started beating again.He understood the meaning of the emperor, and it was nothing more than wanting to promote him to the official position, and he was afraid that the ministers would object, so he made such a bad move.But Xiaofeng's phrase "the sacred heart is unpredictable" seems to mean something else.

Could it be that the emperor's move has some deep meaning?

He walked all the way home in a sedan chair, changed into his usual clothes, walked to Qingtong Street, and entered the Hongjian Building opposite Yinzhongxian.Dr. Tea walked into the private room holding the tea pot, bowed to him, and knelt down opposite to make tea.

Yan Jun took the smelling cup and sniffed it slowly, only to feel that the fragrance was tangy and refreshing. Then he took the tea tasting cup and took a shallow sip, which was even more mellow, moist and full of beauty.

"Well, the new broken wall tea."

Broken wall tea only grows on the rock walls of Quanzhou, and the branches of the tea trees go deep into the rocks. If you want to pick it, you must first cut through the rock walls, so it is called "broken wall".

This tea is unparalleled in sweetness, but it is the most difficult to pick. If you are not careful, you will damage the roots of the tea tree, and there will be no new tea in the next year.Therefore, broken wall tea has always been a tribute, and it is rare among the people, let alone new tea.

Dr. Cha laughed and said, "Master Yan's tongue is the most sensitive that the grassroots have ever seen."

Yan Jun threw the teacup into the toilet, but when he came back, he held Dr. Cha's hand and said softly, "Yuheng, your place is always so quiet."

Dr. Tea allowed him to hold hands, lowered his eyes and smiled: "Your Excellency is in the court, and he is used to seeing the changes of the situation, the rich and the rich and the romantic. The grass people only have tea here, but they just pretend to be quiet."

Yan Jun pursed the corners of his mouth, brushed away a strand of hair from his forehead, and pulled him into his arms.In a room of tea fragrance, separated by tea smoke, he sighed lowly: "If possible, I would rather choose a tea garden and bring you back to the farm."

"Grass people have no blessings, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear the joy of returning to farming."

Yan Jun unbuttoned his shirt, leaned over and said, "You never say such disappointing things..."

When they went out, there were several people downstairs discussing together, and one of them said: "Have you heard? Master Yan was promoted to the imperial censor, but it was because the emperor rewarded him with a cloud crane robe by mistake."

Another person sneered and said: "What is the Yunhe robe! Who knows how the surname Yan got up there, and it is a bit cleaner than the little girl in the restaurant! The emperor sleeps with him all day long, and I am afraid that he will not even get up. The dragon robes have all been worn!"

First one of them lowered his voice and said: "Brother Chen, I dare not say this out loud. Besides, how can Mr. Yan compare with the young lady? He can only serve one person, that's called imperial servant!"

One word made everyone at the table laugh.

Yan Jun twitched the corners of his mouth on the side of the building, and his mind suddenly became clear—he had been stupid for a while, and had ignored the heart of the emperor—he took out a dime of silver from his sleeve, handed it to the people behind him, and said, "It's theirs!" Tea money."

Dr. Tea sent him out, walked to the table and asked with a smile, "How about today's tea?"

The man surnamed Chen earlier cupped his hands and said, "It's Lu Yulu, the number one scholar. I'm so blind, I didn't realize it! Today's tea is very good, very good!"

When people at the table heard the name of "Tea Champion Lu Yu", they all stood up to greet him.Lu Yu held the money in his hand and said with a smile, "Your tea money, I just said that my lord has settled it, so please enjoy it."

"Brother Chen," the person before said in a low voice, "I'm afraid Lord Yan has heard what you said just now!"

"So what if you hear it? Are you still afraid of being told what you have done?"

Yan Jun walked home, bought a sugar figurine for Xisheng, counted the coins in his sleeve, and regretted slightly: Just now, I was really extravagant!

When I went back on eleventh day, I told Shen Yan about the Yunhe robe, but the man who has always been a big man understood it faster than Yan Jun: the emperor's deep meaning was clearly to warn Yan Jun that this official position is not just because of the wrong name, he If you can give, you can also receive!

Huan Ye even told all the officials——Yan Jun's capital censor was obtained from his alms, not because of merit, and whoever takes the opportunity to cling to him will be short-sighted!

How can the heart of an emperor be ignored!

Shen Yan opened the envelope, and saw that there was a smaller envelope inside. Opening it again was exactly what he wanted. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the secret decree of the case of "counterfeit gift money".

As for why Fang made the decree today, and why it was made after Yan Jun was promoted, he didn't want to guess.

The author has something to say:

These two chapters explain the relationship between the characters in Beijing, and the emotional drama of Mr. Xiao is less.
