Chapter 368

The painting has been dried. When Jing Yun put the scroll into the bamboo tube and gave it to Jing Shu, "tell Bei Yu that I'll invite him to drink pear blossom wine at the beginning of spring next year."

"Yes." Jingshu arched back with the picture and disappeared into the vast night. He galloped away in the direction of Yan state. The mountains and forests were quiet and it was time to sleep well.

——

Yan Guoxu is in the government house.

It's exactly the same as what Jingyun expected. It's three minutes after Hai Shi'an. The small bamboo building where Xu Shian lives alone is still brightly lit.

Xu Cheng stared at Xu Shian kneeling in front of him with dark eyes, and coughed angrily, "good, good, good!"

Xu Cheng said three good words in a row. His fingers trembled and his face was blue.

"Lord Hou, take a sip of tea and calm down..." Su took the tea to Xu Cheng, but before he could hold it steady, he was waved by his big hand and fell to the ground.

"What kind of tea do you still drink? Look at the rebel you gave birth to. His wings are hard and he dares to make decisions without authorization. He did such a big thing quietly. Do you know how angry the Empress Dowager was?"

Xu Shian knelt straight, but his face was not afraid at all. No matter how angry Xu Cheng was, he stood still.

Some of the broken pieces of the teacup splashed on his forehead, cut several shallow holes, and the blood trickled out when he died.

Su's eyes were sharp. When he saw the blood spreading, "ow" rushed to Xu Shian. He didn't even have time to take his handkerchief. He wiped it directly with his sleeves. His tone was very anxious, "Shian, does it hurt? Call the doctor!"

Xu Shian stretched out his hand to push away Su Shi and shook his head. "Mother doesn't have to be nervous. Father is angry. It's right to punish me. When the anger is gone, we're still a family."

It's good that he didn't say this. When he said it, Xu Cheng was even more angry, "rebellious son! You know we're a family? I think you are very capable. You betrayed your father quietly. Now I have only a false name and no salary. You can drink the West and north wind in the future! "

Of course what Xu Cheng said was angry.

For so many years, he has made a lot of money every day. Even if he returns home, the money left at home is enough for him to spend his life happily.

Xu Cheng was just angry that Xu Shian would destroy his family. When the Empress Dowager asked about it, he didn't know it!

"Father, if you really know, what you have to do now is not to scold me, but to thank me for saving the life of the whole family." Xu Shian stood up slowly from the ground and walked to Xu Cheng.

The blood on his forehead was still flowing, sliding over the brow bone and cheek, which set off the evil charm of half of his face, "do you think your majesty doesn't know what the Empress Dowager did? Do you think your majesty doesn't know that you are the running dog of the Empress Dowager? "

The word "running dog" pricked Xu Cheng's forehead, and his anger could not be restrained.

"Don't be angry. Your majesty only took off your black hat because of his son's face. Only then can the Minister of household take full responsibility for the crime, so you can retreat all over. Next time, you won't be so lucky."

"You threaten me?" Xu Cheng's cloudy eyes were full of disbelief. Looking down at his own Xu Shian, he suddenly didn't know his son.

Because he saw ambition and cruelty in his eyes!

"Have you seen that account book?"

Although knowing that this question is superfluous, Xu Cheng still wants to confirm it.

Xu Shian didn't mean to deceive him, "not only did I see it, but also his majesty. Otherwise, how do you think the Minister of household could be convicted so easily?"

There are not many officials above the third grade who have committed crimes and can be interrogated publicly. The duty of Dali temple is to find out the evidence. This time, Emperor Yan only dealt with one person. It is obvious that Xu Shian has made contributions. His merits and demerits are equal. Xu Cheng quietly became an idle marquis.

At this point, empress Xu Cheng burst into a cold sweat on her back.

Xu Shian spoke lightly, but he knew how thrilling it was when Emperor Yan made this decision.

According to Emperor Yan's temperament, it's not impossible to kill one thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred yourself. It's just that this time he let himself go so easily. On the contrary, Xu Cheng felt cold sweat on his back. There was always a feeling that his head was not protected.

"Mother, I have something else to say to my father." Xu Shian didn't return and said a few words.

This sentence made Su's look cold for no reason, and his whole body seemed to be two or three degrees lower in an instant.

She squeezed out a smile. "I'll find some ointment first. Your father and son will talk first."

Seeing Su Shi leave, Xu Shian closed the door of the hall and sat in the position Su Shi had just taken.

He even disregarded etiquette and sat down with Xu Chengping!

Xu Cheng has always had absolute power in the government of the state of Xu.

Seeing Xu Shian sitting on the throne so grandly, his eyes flashed and opened his mouth. After all, he didn't speak.

"Does father still blame me?"

There were two cups of tea on the table. One was overturned by Xu Cheng and the other was smoking. Xu Shian took it and opened the tea cover and pecked it gently.

Xu Cheng didn't speak all the time. On the contrary, it was Xu Shian. Maybe his voice was moistened by tea, and his words seemed to be very much.

"Playing games in the court hall is like these two teas. You break them and don't want to drink them. Many people rush to drink them. The Empress Dowager is old. Now you feel that you have this thick thigh and don't feel a crisis, but how many years are these short-lived days? For more than ten years, the Xu family has paid no less than one million liang of silver to the Empress Dowager every year. What's the result? You are just a Duke without real power. "

Xu Cheng's eyes shrunk.

Xu Shian continued, "but I just brought the account book to your majesty. First, I was promoted from the deacon of the seventh grade to the civil servant of the fourth grade. Your majesty deposed your official position with my hand and gave the Empress Dowager a threat. After he was angry, he appointed me the third grade left waiter. Father, can't you see the situation? You are just a chess piece in the Empress Dowager's hand that moves and waves, or a waste chess piece that can be discarded at any time. "

If you have credit, you can't take half of it. If you are in trouble, you are the first to push him out as a shield.
