Qiao Yu had vowed before that no one would risk the Sacred Heart's displeasure to see Yuan Zanbi, but Shen Mingyu came here in a grandiose manner. Yuan Zanbi didn't know whether the emperor liked it or not, but Master Qiao beside him was obviously unhappy.

Qiao Yu called out in a toneless way: "Lord Shen."

Seeing Yuan Zanbi nodding towards him, Shen Mingyu stepped into the yard, bowed and said, "My subordinate Shen Mingyu has met Qiao Xiang and General Yuan."

Yuan Zan said please sit down and got up to make tea.

Shen Mingyu just wanted to decline, but Qiao Yu glanced at him and had to shut up and sit down. In his heart, he hated that he never read the almanac when he went out, so he ended up in such a pinch situation.

Fortunately, Yuan Zanbi didn't pay much attention to making tea. After he and Qiao Yu sat face to face dryly for a long time, Yuan Zanbi came back with a teapot.

The first thing Qiao Yu did when he picked up the tea was not to drink it, but to raise a glass to Shen Mingyu—Shen Mingyu was forced to share the same room with Qiao Yu, and it was embarrassing enough for Shen Mingyu to pour him the tea himself with a hairpin pen. Qiao Yu wanted to add fuel to the fire, saying, "I respect this cup, Lord Shen."

Shen Mingyu was full of embarrassment, and said: "I don't know why."

Qiao Yu said: "Your Majesty Jingshen came in time. If you don't come, I'm afraid I'll die of thirst and not be able to drink the tea poured by General Yuan."

Shen Mingyu really wanted to slap herself who asked the question just now, but no matter whether he asked or not, Qiao Yu would definitely not speak well.

Yuan Zan wrote: "Qiao Xiang, you don't have to be polite." He turned to Shen Mingyu, "I don't know why Mr. Shen is looking for me?"

Shen Mingyu became more and more restless under Qiao Yu's half-smiling gaze, besides, he didn't know whether Yuan Zanbi knew his identity, and how much inside information Qiao Yu had told him, brewing all afternoon's words in an instant Can't tell.

Yuan Zan wrote warmly: "Qiao Xiang, what else did your Majesty say?"

Qiao Yu raised his brows, his eyebrows were burning, and this made him even more aggressive, "General Yuan is issuing an order to evict guests?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Don't dare, it's just that Prime Minister Qiao is busy with official duties, so there is no need to stay here just because of old feelings, and waste time for nothing. If this delays the state affairs, I will be guilty of the crime, wouldn't it be an extra crime? "

Qiao Yu swallowed his tea, and said unceremoniously: "Since you know that the truth is because of old feelings, you should bear the truth and repay the kindness. Besides, I want to share the worries of the country. Jiangzhi crucian carp is not busy, at least not as busy as Mr. Shen."

Shen Mingyu nodded and said, "Qiao Xiang is a noble man."

Qiao Yu said: "How dare you, General Yuan in front of Mr. Shen is the real noble family."

Shen Mingyu had no choice but to say: "It's a slip of the tongue."

Taking advantage of Qiao Yu's inattention, Yuan Zanbi took away his teacup, pressed his fingers against the wall of the cup, and then pushed it to Qiao Yu, saying: "Qiao Xiang, the tea is getting cold."

Qiao Yu seemed to want to say something, after thinking about it for a long time, he just snorted, put the teacup back in his hand, concentrated on drinking tea, and didn't speak again.

Shen Mingyu said: "The official recently wanted to thank General Yuan for his help. If it wasn't for General, I might have been decapitated."

Yuan Zan wrote only: "Master Shen, you are being polite."

Qiao Yu saw Shen Mingyu's seriousness and earnest words, as if he was very grateful to Yuanzanbi, but he never mentioned why he left Zhongzhou.

Qiao Yu was about to speak, and imitated the movement of Yuan's hairpin pen and tapped his finger on the teacup. The tea was indeed getting cold, so he drank some more and swallowed all he wanted to say.

It's really not worth it to drink herbal tea for a moment of quick talk, Qiao Yu thought expressionlessly.

The most important thing is that the tea was poured by Yuan Zan.

It was rare for Qiao Yu to remain silent, and only drank his tea with downcast eyes. Yuan Zanbi thought for a while, and poured another cup of the tea he had just drunk.

Yuan Zanbi didn't want the purpose of Qiao Yu's words to be too obvious, so that Shen Mingyu thought that Qiao Yu would put the teacup heavily on the table to sneer at the next moment, but he didn't expect that Qiao Xiang would pick up the teacup obediently and watch while drinking tea. The tea and the person pouring the tea didn't say a word.

Shen Mingyu took advantage of Qiao Yu's quietness and talked a lot with Yuan Zanbi, although he was the one talking most of the time, Yuan Zanbi and Qiao Yu drank tea together without saying a word.

"My lord." Xiaoxue's voice came from outside.

Shen Mingyu stopped suddenly, turned her head around, and saw the head of a young man lying on the wall, and there were two green branches stuck on his head, which looked like straw signs inserted in the hair of slaves in the market, "My lord, the palace The person who came told me to let my lord enter the palace immediately."

Qiao Yu put down the cup, met Yuan Zanbi's eyes and said, "This matter is quite ignorant."

Earlier, when the emperor ordered him to come, he did not say when he would see Yuan Zanbi, and two hours after the oral order was issued, the palace sent someone to ask Yuan Zanbi to come over.

He has been in the court for several years, and he has long been accustomed to the emperor's changing style, but Yuan Zanbi was a little surprised. If Qiao Yu had no power in the army, he even thought that Qiao Yu had come to deceive him with the military talisman.

Qiao Yu patted Yuan Zan pen's hand on the table and said, "Your heart is unpredictable, General Yuan must be careful."

Yuan Zanbi took his hand away and said, "I understand."

Shen Mingyu got up and said: "Then I will take my leave first."

Yuan Zan wrote: "Master Shen, please go ahead."

Qiao Yu said, "Lord Shen, wait a minute."

Shen Mingyu helplessly withdrew her stepping foot, "Qiao Xiang."

Qiao Yu said: "Hantan is not here, can I trouble Master Shen to release the truth?"

Hantan was clearly outside the courtyard, and Shen Mingyu could see the end of the saber protruding from the door when he looked up.

Shen Mingyu said: "Yes."

The back of Yuan Zanbi is straight and upright, almost like a straight knife forged without flaws.

Qiao Yu looked at it and said: "Master Shen, you can know that Yuan Zanbi came from a famous family. Even though the first emperor re-edited the "Secretary Records" to make the royal family surnamed Liu respect, the Yuan family in Linyang has gone through three dynasties, and its glory has not diminished. If Yuan Zanbi is willing , you can be level-headed and enterprising to sit in the public office, or you can wander around the forest without asking about world affairs."

Shen Mingyu knew that Yuan Zanbi had a prominent background, but he didn't understand why Qiao Yu brought it up, so he said, "I understand."

"The aristocratic family regards scholars as the emperor's eagles and dogs, and disdains scholars only for the sake of making progress, and even flatters left and right. There are vicious methods of killing and exterminating species, and flattery of sucking sores." Qiao Yu's voice was as soft as ever, although what he said It was a heart-breaking statement, but the executioner also took soft silk and satin, wrapped it around the neck of the person, and slowly exerted force.

Shen Mingyu was silent for a long time before saying: "General Guan Yuan, the next official, may not be such a person."

He lowered his head and saw that Qiao Yu's eyes that were still a bit dazed just now were filled with sarcasm.

He said: "Yuan Zan pen is really different." He pointed to his own brain, "Perhaps he is sympathetic to others, and he is addicted to saving others. He saves you, regardless of his life experience, regardless of his purpose. He saves others, and there is no difference. "

Shen Mingyu was taken aback.

Qiao Yu was fiddling with the hidden flowers on his cuffs. He had never held a sword since he was disabled, so there were no scars or calluses on his hands, as smooth as jadeite. "So such a person," he said slowly, as if for Shen Mingyu's sake. He could hear every word clearly, "It is absolutely impossible to be with us."

"Master Shen, let's stop thinking about it."

Shen Mingyu said: "I don't have any..."

Qiao Yu sneered.

Shen Mingyu shut up.

Qiao Yu has a gorgeous face and a flamboyant personality, and is deeply favored by the emperor. People can't help but think about it, and ignore what kind of person he is.

Of course, Qiao Yu couldn't be a fool, since he knew Shen Mingyu's purpose from the moment he saw Shen Mingyu.

Shen Mingyu said in a low voice: "Yes, thank you Qiao Xiang for reminding me."

Qiao Yu knocked on the armrest, and Han Tan, who had been silently following behind them, immediately took Shen Mingyu's place.

Shen Mingyu endured it, and finally asked: "Why did Qiao Xiang talk to the subordinate officials about this? What's the harm in letting the subordinate officials try?"

Qiao Yu didn't even look back, but said, "Master Shen, stop, there is no need to send it off."

……

The last time the emperor and Yuan Zanbi saw each other, there were not many changes, not even a few white hairs on the sideburns, but the eye sockets were deeper than before, showing some fatigue, but undoubtedly this majesty is still handsome and handsome, No reduction in the year.

When Yuan Zanbi saw the emperor, he saluted respectfully, and was then given a seat by the emperor.

He seldom talked, and spent less time alone with the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor didn't need him to talk too much.

"Since you came back to Zhongzhou, I have never broken the papers on my desk. There are those who say that you have lost your land and humiliated the country, some who say that you have been wronged and victimized, and some people who say that you should balance your merits and demerits, so as to see the future effect," the emperor said with a smile: "The prince and I said a few words that you have worked hard, but this kid has forgotten whether his uncle's leg is broken or not."

Yuan Zanbi wanted to get up to apologize, but the emperor said in a bad mood: "Sit down, how many times do you kneel down in half an hour, can you count it?" He didn't give Yuan Zanbi a chance to explain, and said again: "The fifth brother said you Being loyal to the country, destroying the city of Chongzhou is only a crime of negligence, and it is too much to transfer people back to Zhongzhou to judge the crime, the third child, just say that it will be dealt with according to the law of the country."

The matter of Yuan Zan pen can be serious or light, ranging from reprimanding a few words, to implicating the whole family.

Yuan Zan wrote: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity."

"I also asked Qiao Xiang, Qing, guess what Qiao Xiang said?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Qiao Xiang has always been strict with himself." As soon as this remark came out, the emperor laughed, "And pay attention to the laws of the country. I probably advise His Majesty to deal with it fairly."

The emperor said: "Qiao Yu told me that you have been stationed in the western region for many years and have been safe and sound, but you have made great contributions to the country but you don't want to award rewards, and you don't want to write a letter to plead guilty even if you are punished severely. If you have the same thoughts, you should cut the waist and abandon the market to warn the world."

Yuan Zanbi could only smile wryly, and said: "I didn't think so much, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor said thoughtfully: "Qiao Yu will be confused if he cares about it, and his words will inevitably be distorted, but I am a little curious, when did you and Qiao Yu get on such a good relationship, and he was able to speak for you." The emperor joked, " After all, there are not many people who can make Qiao Xiang open his mouth to intercede."
