General Essence Sticky Essence

When He Yun returned to the General's Mansion with the painting in his hand, he was already in a good mood. Seeing Feng Yi sitting on the door frame chatting with the porter, he asked with a smile, "Why are you sitting here?"

Feng Yi stood up immediately: "You are back, the prince has been waiting for you in the study for two hours."

He Yun was secretly delighted, and asked calmly, "Where's Lan Tian?"

"Lan Tian and Miss Jing Wen are talking in the main hall."

"Miss Jing Wen is here?" He Yun's eyes lit up, "Did you come here specially to find Lan Tian?"

"I don't know about this either. Anyway, Lan Tian and Miss Jing Wen came back together." Feng Yi pushed He Yun into the mansion, "Don't talk about this, you should go see the prince first, after waiting for so long , don't be in a hurry."

He Yun said twice, then turned around and handed the scroll to Feng Yi: "Help me take it back to the house, I'm going to the palace to deal with some things, I won't go in now."

"My lord is still in the study."

He Yun poked his head and took a look at the mansion, with a troubled expression on his face: "My lord knows that I'm going to enter the palace, it's fine, you can go."

Feng Yi had no choice but to go in with the scroll, while He Yun sighed on the spot, turned around and rode to the palace.

It took more than half a day to bring the person to the imperial court to make a confession, and the Holy Majesty's attitude and tone of voice were not very good, He Yun's heart was full of pain.

He was not that big-hearted, knowing that the emperor was not so angry because of the explosion of the altar, the collapse of the cold palace, and the death of Queen Mother Zhang, and it was clearly aimed at him, He Yun.Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to kneel for so long in front of the ministers and the Lord Donghu.

In the first 20 years of his life, He Yun lived a carefree and unrestrained life. He was used to what his father and elder brother suffered when he was in office.

But in these short two years, he understood that there is no way to stay out of many things.

Even if you feel depressed, what can you do as a courtier?

After being treated respectfully and coldly for half a day, when He Yun stepped out of the palace gate, it was as if he had been pardoned.

Looking at the darkening sky, he didn't ride his horse anymore. He needed a period of time to get rid of the messy emotions in his heart. At least after entering the house, it would not be obvious at a glance that this was a loyal courtier who had nothing to complain about.

Back in the mansion, of course we went straight to the study. Our General He has no backbone in front of Xie Xuan since he was a child.It's just that I made up a lot of brains along the way, thinking that when I see Xie Xuan, I must not show a good face, and I must wait for the other party to explain with arrogance.

But on second thought, did he really sit in the study and wait until night?If you really want to do this, then you can still give a little face, just a little...

Unexpectedly, I went into the backyard, and there was not even a single light in the direction of the study, so there was no one there!He Yun was in a hurry now, maybe he had gone too far?You've been letting Brother Zichen hang out all this time, and you made him angry too?But this is not right, it is obvious that he made a mistake first, so what if we wait a little longer?

With this thought in mind, He Yun fell into deep thought in front of the study, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.On the one hand, I feel that brother Zichen has been in prison for six months, and he was treated like this just after he got out of prison. ?

Why!

When He Lian led Su Jingwen through the backyard, he saw his second brother standing motionless in front of the study, so he gave a soft cry.

He Yun raised his head in response: "Huh? Miss Jing Wen is still there? Have you had dinner yet?"

Seeing He Yun, Su Jingwen couldn't help being a little cautious, she nodded lightly, and replied, "I've used it."

"Second brother, it's getting late, I want to send Miss Jingwen out of the city."

"Going so late? Stay here, the guest room you stayed in before can be cleaned up."

"Su Bo is still at home, he will be worried." He Lian hesitated, "Second brother, Su Bo is sick, I want to go with Miss Jing Wen to check on the situation, and I will come back later at night."

Old Uncle Su's kindness to He Lian is equivalent to He Yun's benefactor, of course he will not refuse.Looking at Su Jingwen at the side, he joked, "If it's too late, it's fine if you don't come back."

He Lian winked at him awkwardly: "What are you talking about, second brother, I will be back."

Seeing Su Jingwen blushing, He Yun didn't want to go too far, and said with a smile: "Go, go! If Miss Jingwen is free someday, come and play at home."

Su Jingwen breathed a sigh of relief and said yes.

He Lian turned around and wanted to leave, but remembered something, turned around and said, "Second Brother, Big Brother Zichen has been standing in the ancestral hall for half a day, and he didn't come out for dinner, do you want to go and see him?"

In the shrine?Brother Zichen didn't return to the palace!

He Yun stepped into the door, and before he could finish his opening sentence, Xie Xuan had already turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw the person behind him, he gave him an incomparably bright smile.

It's all right now, this smile wiped out all the little things in General He's heart.

Sighing secretly, he lingeringly stood beside Xie Xuan. He Yun first took three sticks of incense, bowed to the four memorial tablets in front of him, and his heart suddenly calmed down.

"Why have you stood here for half a day? Isn't it cold?"

Xie Xuan turned sideways and said with a smile, "Are you not angry anymore?"

He Yun unnaturally "coughed" twice: "Actually, I'm not angry with you, you don't need to explain anything."

"Really? But since yesterday, you haven't paid me any attention."

"...Okay, I do have some questions. Let me ask, and you answer." He Yun also turned to face Xie Xuan, "When did those Donghu people sneak into the craftsmen?" ?”

"Three months ago, when the altar started construction."

"Does the Ministry of Industry have your people?"

"Wang Yan from the Ministry of Industry. In addition, there are Cao Rong from the Ministry of Households, Fang Ke from the Ministry of Rites, and many generals among the various ministries."

Both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have subordinates, so it is no wonder that they know everything about the construction of the altar.

"Cao Jixiang is also one of your people? No wonder you seem to know about the fact that the central army's camp was deducted."

"Ji Xiang was ordered by the edict and dared not disobey, but just told me."

"Those people have been under your surveillance early in the morning? How can they be sure that the Lord of the Central Pagoda will definitely visit the altar? Besides, isn't it afraid of accidentally hurting Wei people by directly blowing up the altar?"

"The construction of the altar is in a hurry, so it must be visited by the lord of the vassal state. As for the news of the construction of the altar, it was Muzhuo who deliberately released it so that Yangta Jiacuo could know. They didn't dare to accidentally injure the Wei people, so they only dared to put it on one side of the wall. The fire/powder is buried inside, and someone hid in the pit, and waited until Mu Zhuo stood in the southeast position before lighting the fuse. We already knew the location of the fire/powder, so Mu Zhuo will be safe."

"The Lord of the Central Pagoda is fine," He Yun was a little upset, "But you were buried inside. Was it on purpose?"

"...Yes. Muzhuo wants to use the power of the Great Wei to fight against Yangta Jiacuo, but the explosion of the altar is not enough. I have a noble status. If my life is threatened by people from other countries, the emperor will not let it go. Then it will be a matter of course. Give the soldiers to Mu Zhuo."

"What if you really lost your life?"

"No," Xie Xuan replied immediately, "absolutely not. The location of the fire/powder has already been known, as long as I find a good barrier, I will be fine."

"You've taken care of everything, so naturally nothing will happen. But I was almost scared to death, I..." He Yun's voice weakened, "Aren't you going to be angry?"

"I'm sorry. There will never be a next time. Even if there is, I will definitely discuss it with you."

...Apologize for speaking so quickly?Is this still Brother Zichen?

He Yun lost his temper because of this "I'm sorry", so he softened his tone and asked, "Mu Zhuo?"

Xie Xuan was stunned: "Huh?"

"Why is he called Muzhuo? Are you familiar with him?"

"He's been called Mu Zhuo since he was young."

What a reasonable explanation!He Yun gritted his teeth, and abruptly changed the topic back: "He wants to use Wei's hand to eliminate civil strife, and you want to use his hand to ensure peace. Is this a win-win situation?"

"Yes, Yangta Muzhuo has always been reluctant to start a war. On the contrary, his uncle is eyeing Wei. If Yangta Jiacuo can be eliminated, it can be regarded as eliminating hidden dangers. This is a good thing for Wei. The emperor will definitely be willing to help .”

He Yun's mood improved, and finally gave him a smiling face: "Why are you called Yang Tamuzhuo again?"

"Don't you dislike me calling him Mu Zhuo?" Xie Xuan replied as a matter of course.

wrong!This is not Brother Zichen!Brother Zichen wouldn't talk like that!

He Yun shivered a little after realizing it: "Brother, you don't have to follow me like this, I'm not angry anymore." You are so scary!

Xie Xuan couldn't help laughing for a while, and then he said seriously: "The matter of the cold palace, it must be the Empress Dowager Zhang who committed suicide on her own. If the emperor doesn't mention it anymore, we won't mention it. How about you entering the palace today?"

He Yun nodded clearly.He naturally also thought of it, if Queen Mother Zhang hadn't committed suicide, how could the emperor avoid talking about it?

"That's it. The emperor doesn't look good to me now. I don't blame him. Such a series of things happened. If I were me, I would be annoyed too."

"You know it in your heart, it's not for this reason."

He Yun was also helpless: "Yes, I know. What Lin Fang said, the blame was all on me. The emperor had a grudge against me before, and I don't know what he thinks now. But brother, you said Lin Fang How credible are the words?"

Xie Xuan didn't hesitate: "It's all nonsense."

He Yun smiled: "I also think that he has been the chief of the Imperial Guard for 20 years, and he would not put himself to death in such a stupid way. There are people behind him."

"Who do you think it is?"

"I don't know, Gongyi Yu? He doesn't seem to have that much ability yet."

"He didn't dare." Xie Xuan's expression became serious.

He Yun didn't care: "I don't know who it is, but I know that when soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up. By the way, big brother, the Lord of the Central Tower asked me to bring you a few words."

Xie Xuan gave a "hmm" and signaled him to continue.

"He said that as long as he is in power for one day, Donghu will be the most loyal vassal of Wei, and he will never break his promise. Also," He Yun looked around mysteriously, and whispered, "If one day, you and I are here If you can't keep messing around in the court, you can use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for peace, and he said that this is his repayment to the Anyang County King and you."

Xie Xuan laughed and said: "The Lord of the Central Tower has a heart."

He Yun shrugged his shoulders, even Yang Tamuzhuo could see the rift between the monarch and his ministers, the days to come will be difficult.

"Mingxian, when I was in prison, I thought about a lot of things. In the past, I wanted to avoid suspicion, thinking that you and I were too powerful, so it was inevitable that we would attract attention. But now, my thinking has changed."

Xie Xuan turned around to face the tablet again, but his eyes were extremely deep, as if seeing a farther place through the tablet in front of him,

"In our position, if you don't do well, you will be criticized; if you do too well, you will be hated. I have been taught by my father and Uncle He since I was a child, and I have learned to serve the country wholeheartedly and be loyal to the monarch. I have seen another truth, which is called 'Since ancient times, loyal ministers have never died well'."

He Yun took a deep look at him, thinking about these words carefully in his heart.

"Blind loyalty is not necessarily a good thing, I mean, it's okay to play tricks in order to have a good death. Do you understand?"

He Yun smiled: "Yes. But, do you have to say this in front of your father and elder brother? I have already imagined them over there with a black face and shouting 'how decent'."

"Then what comes next might make them fly into a rage. Do you want to hear it?"

He Yun is really cute
