There are many treasures in this country
Chapter 95
Xiao Suo had nothing to do with Shen Yan, so he could only persuade him to calm down, and said with a straight face: "It's not enough for you to cause trouble, and now you are here to disturb Master Xie's birthday ceremony, so rude, what kind of words do you say?"
Shen Yan drooped his head and remained silent, listening to him answering: "No matter what Zhang Yunjian is, he is now a second-rank minister, with different dignity, how can you hit him? Even if you want to vent your anger, you shouldn't offend others. Everyone knows. All the courtiers are by your side, how can you hide your troubles? Do you know how many memorials to impeach you are pressed in the Yushitai? Beating Shangguan in public, what if this life is not worth it? You are an extremely smart person, how can you be so confused?"
Shen Yan didn't say a word, let him teach him a lesson, and just listened silently.As a result, Xiao Suo couldn't continue speaking, and asked in a slow tone: "Why don't you speak? Could it be that I said something wrong and you are not convinced?"
"No." He curled his lips, "You are plausible and reasonable, how dare I not be convinced! It's just a feeling, you used to be like a mosquito, timid, soft-tempered, pedantic, and straightforward, but now It's changed a lot. It's me, standing still, and gradually getting farther and farther away from you."
Xiao Suo was startled, turned his face to the side and said softly: "It's fine, what are you talking about. You and I have run out of fate, even if we are officials in the same dynasty, there is a difference between civil and military. Who cares if they are far or not!"
"I care!" Shen Yan stood up suddenly, grabbed his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you hate me, I don't care. But you can't force me not to like you."
Xiao Suo paused, lowered his head and asked, "You...why don't you blame me?"
"Blame you?" Shen Yan laughed: "What are you to blame? You didn't lie to me, you didn't trick me into harming me. Could it be that you are ruthless to me, so I blame you? Ruthlessness is a common thing, how can you force it? I asked you before, but I just took it for granted that you, like me, have feelings for me. I misunderstood myself, so who can blame me? As for using me, it is also human nature. If you are with me, you will only suffer, and you will not get any benefits , I can't justify it. As for what I said to you that day, it was all impulsive, and I apologize to you. "
"You can think about it." Xiao Suo twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's just that you promised me that day, you would dodge a little farther and not block my way." He looked down at the hand he was holding, "You What is it?"
Shen Yan had no choice but to let go reluctantly, Nuonuo said: "I am not in your way, but just say a few words, is it in the way of you? I still remember you said when you were in your hometown, one day you will be prosperous, You will definitely repay me with a grass title. Now you wish you could stay far away from me, but it is really not what it used to be. Fortunately, I am still an official, if I am down now, I don’t know how you treat me!"
He was so sad that he expressed how many vicissitudes of life he had experienced.
Xiao Suo suppressed the soreness in his heart, sighed, and said coldly: "I am not a sage, and it is normal for people to be ungrateful. I hope you will never ask me to repay you one day, otherwise you will just be disappointed. "After finishing speaking, turn around and leave.
Shen Yan fell back to his seat in a daze, looked at his back without turning his head, and didn't say a word for a long time.
His face can be regarded as lost.
Xiao Suo never said it, because if he declared his love, he would force Shen Yan to respond.But for a long time, he always thought that Shen Yan was in love with Yan Jun, and he was just "the second best".
Since he couldn't, he didn't dare to ask, for fear of humiliating himself.
But today, Shen Yan actually said so.
His heart was beating wildly, he just wanted to go home immediately, came out and ran wildly, and finally found the front yard, when suddenly a young servant came in front of him, and whispered to him: "Master Xiao, my master has an invitation, look in the inner room A story."
Naturally, he couldn't refuse Xie Yi's invitation.
Xiao Suo had no choice but to gather his thoughts, followed the man to the study, saw Liu Siwen standing there, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and asked: "Why is Brother Liu here?"
As soon as the words fell, Xie Yi smiled and said: "Siwen grew up under the watchful eye of the old man, and his father, Liu Yuzhou, the servant of the Ministry of officials, is also the subordinate of the old man. The old man asked him to say a few words, and you were mentioned in the conversation, so they called together .”
Xiao Suo bowed and said: "Your Excellency will see the teaching, and the lower officials will listen attentively."
"Hey," Xie Yi waved his hand, "I think you two youngsters are fine, why is one more pedantic than the other? Don't make such vain rituals. If you want, you can call me teacher."
Xiao Suo immediately cupped his hands and said: "Thanks to the teacher for not giving up, the students are very grateful."
Xie Yi ordered him to excuse himself, asked him some business matters, discussed with the two of them for half a day, and finally said some family affairs, and finally motioned for the two to leave.
Xiao Suo couldn't bear it any longer, he hurried out after taking his leave, but unexpectedly bumped into Shen Yan at the door again.He frowned sharply, with an irritable expression on his face, he was about to hit him when he raised his hand, but seeing Xiao Suo, he could barely put it down.
"Forgive me, General." Xiao Suo bent over and said, "I will take my leave."
"Wait a minute!" Shen Yan quickly stopped him.
Xiao Suo didn't want to see him for a moment, he didn't want to look at his eyes full of melancholy, but he had to turn around: "What else can the general order?"
"Are you bothering me so much?" Shen Yan was greatly disappointed, as if there were fine needles pricking her heart.He took out two butterflies inlaid with gold and gemstones from his bosom, and said with a wry smile, "You gave me a pair of red candles for my wedding, and I can't do without a gift when you get married. These are made by skilled craftsmen in the Western Regions. It’s exquisite, and it’s good. I’m not in the mood to wrap the box, so you can just take it. I wish you a deep love and fly together.”
Xiao Suo was at a loss: "Who said I'm going to get married?"
"You're not married?" Shen Yan was also quite surprised: "Didn't it mean that your aunt told you that you have a good relationship, and now you're just waiting for the wedding?"
"Where did you hear the rumor?" Xiao Suo couldn't laugh or cry, and he didn't know how the news of his aunt's marriage spread like wildfire, and spread so far that even Shen Yan had heard about it.
"I..." Shen Yan was very annoyed, and sighed: "I heard what the official media said, but it was fake! If I had known, I would have..."
If he had known it was false, how could he have married Princess Nan'an!
Xiao Suo rubbed the sun, waved his hands and said: "That's all, that's all. It's good to clarify the misunderstanding, anyway, it's not a big problem. I accept this golden butterfly. When I get married in the future, I will invite the general to have a cup of wedding wine."
Shen Yan said with a sarcasm: "Yes, it really is nothing serious!"
The eyes of the two met, and at the same time they turned their faces away as if they were hot.
After a long while, we went separately.
The next day was the first day of May - Xiao Suo's official position was not high, so he didn't have to go to court every day, but he had to go to court on the second day of Shuo and Wang.
Because of the injustice of the beating the day before yesterday, Zhang Yunjian took advantage of the time of the imperial court to sue the imperial court, embellished Shen Yan's actions in front of all the ministers, and earnestly asked the emperor to make decisions for him.
The court suddenly exploded, and the civil officials were very dissatisfied, clamoring for the emperor to handle the matter impartially and punish Shen Yan severely.The military officers excused Shen Yan, saying that Zhang Yunjian behaved badly and deserved it.
The two groups of people faced each other tit-for-tat and would not give in.Huan Ye sat at the head of the hall and watched coldly, his face getting darker and darker.Everyone was arguing so loudly that no one had time to pay attention.
Only Yan Jun didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, his eyes only followed the emperor.After a long time, the courtiers realized that something was wrong, and suddenly calmed down. Seeing the gloomy expression on the emperor's face, they couldn't help being afraid.
Huan Ye did not reprimand, but only asked the people standing beside him: "Shen Qing, is there such a thing?"
It was the first time for Xiao Suo to go to court, and he had never seen the posture in front of him. From a distance, he saw Shen Yan bowing his head and saying: "Going back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing. However, I also have a feeling to report back."
"Go ahead." Huan Ye glanced down, "Everyone at the next station is a witness, and you cannot deny and deceive the king."
"I dare not." Shen Yan cupped his hands, "Although I beat Mr. Zhang, there was a reason for it. Yesterday—"
"Your Majesty don't believe him—" Zhang Yunjian had just finished speaking when he received a cold slap from Huan Ye, and immediately fell silent.
Shen Yan continued: "Yesterday, Mr. Xie celebrated his birthday. Many people went to congratulate him in Beijing. Among them were the envoys from Nan'an Kingdom. Among them were some women. Mr. Zhang was so foolish that he confronted him in public. It is frivolous and rude. Although Fanbang is not to be feared, how can I be disrespectful when I go to the kingdom of heaven? Besides, if this matter is spread, the people will definitely discuss it, and foreigners will also despise our dynasty. Master Zhang’s move is really corrupt My court’s reputation will damage the relationship between the two countries. The minister took action to stop it, in order to save the court’s face, and did not intend to offend the superior, please learn from the emperor.”
"According to you, is it justified for you to beat Shangguan?" Huan Ye raised his eyebrows and asked.
Shen Yan bowed and said: "I don't dare to say that, I just said there are other inside stories. Right and wrong, please the emperor to decide, I have no objection."
Huan Ye tapped the imperial table twice with his index finger, and suddenly asked Xu Ling, who was dressed in purple, "Xu Qing, do you think Shen Qing's words are not true?"
Xu Ling went out and said: "Back to the emperor, whether General Shen's words are true or not, I have never seen it in person, so I can't judge lightly. But I really have something to report today: Yesterday evening, the envoy of Nan'an Kingdom came to Honglu Temple to envoy Zhang My lord has sued, saying that he has belittled the emissary of the queen and the female official of Nan'an, and wants us to give an explanation, otherwise he will not let it go."
"Hmph!" A voice from the crowd scoffed, "How dare a small country come here to ask for an explanation!"
Xu Ling said with a smile: "Although it is a small country, if there is a slight mishandling of it, they will complain and take the opportunity to threaten to make a profit. What's more, it will affect our dynasty's prestige among other countries."
Huan Ye said indifferently: "In that case, let's give them an explanation." Glancing at Zhang Yunjian, he said again: "Zhang Qing's behavior is disorderly, and he will be fined for half a year. As for Shen Qing..."
When Xiao Suo heard him pause, he knew that the second half of the sentence must not be good.Sure enough, the emperor reprimanded him head and face, and also fined Shen Yan with one year's salary, and ordered him to take responsibility for the matter and appease the Nan'an mission.
After coming down to court, Shen Yan and Zhang Yunjian quarreled again at the gate of the palace. The two of them talked to each other, and almost never made a move. Fortunately, they were pulled away by the adults next to them, otherwise they don't know what to do.
Xiao Suo had lingering fears, and after returning home, he began to sort out the memorial of Shen Yan's impeachment, listed the reasons and accidents, and recorded them one by one, and found that he was really living in the spittle of everyone.
I really don't know how he got over this kind of thorny day.
Shen Yan went straight to Honglu Temple, spent a long time negotiating with those difficult fans, and finally made some progress.They agreed to make the matter smaller and smaller, but the condition is that they will be exempted from the annual tribute next year.
He couldn't decide on this matter, so he brought out the newly married princess to try to beg for mercy, but it was of no use.Shen Yan had no choice but to be vague and perfunctory, and dragged on for a few days, but there was no result.
Until the day of Duanyang, a strange thing happened suddenly.
Princess Nan'an is dead.
Shen Yan drooped his head and remained silent, listening to him answering: "No matter what Zhang Yunjian is, he is now a second-rank minister, with different dignity, how can you hit him? Even if you want to vent your anger, you shouldn't offend others. Everyone knows. All the courtiers are by your side, how can you hide your troubles?

"No." He curled his lips, "You are plausible and reasonable, how dare I not be convinced! It's just a feeling, you used to be like a mosquito, timid, soft-tempered, pedantic, and straightforward, but now It's changed a lot. It's me, standing still, and gradually getting farther and farther away from you."
Xiao Suo was startled, turned his face to the side and said softly: "It's fine, what are you talking about. You and I have run out of fate, even if we are officials in the same dynasty, there is a difference between civil and military. Who cares if they are far or not!"

"Blame you?" Shen Yan laughed: "What are you to blame? You didn't lie to me, you didn't trick me into harming me. Could it be that you are ruthless to me, so I blame you? Ruthlessness is a common thing, how can you force it? I asked you before, but I just took it for granted that you, like me, have feelings for me. I misunderstood myself, so who can blame me? As for using me, it is also human nature. If you are with me, you will only suffer, and you will not get any benefits , I can't justify it.
