Chapter 369

After a long time, Xu Cheng finally opened his mouth, but his words completely lost the aggressive momentum just now, and more like explaining, "without the empress dowager, there would be no Xu family today. We can't forget our roots."

Xu Shian raised his eyebrows, his eyes were as big as brass bells, and his whites were all exposed, "forget your roots? Father, we didn't forget. We just got back what belongs to us. "

"Fame, prestige, title, everything that originally belonged to the Xu family."

Xu Chengding looked at Xu Shian. The night was heavy. Only the flickering candles in the room were swinging with the wind. The blood on his face was not dry. The whole person looked both evil and crazy.

"Shian, you weren't like this before."

Now he is different from before. The original Xu Shian only has piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in his eyes. Even the official title of the Deacon is a leisure job bought by Xu Cheng, a father, who spent a lot of money. He is reluctant and absent from work for no reason.

But today, Xu Cheng felt that the man in front of him was not his son. He was ambitious, cruel and cruel. He was even crazier than when he was young.

"Before was before!" Xu Shian suddenly gave a big drink. His face was distorted, his eyes were red, and his voice was as cold as frost. "Father, the waves on the hall are treacherous. You are too old to live at home. I have redeemed the drunken Qingfeng Lisi Garden and placed it in another courtyard outside your city."

It's no secret for Xu Cheng to raise women outside, but he didn't expect Xu Shian's ability to be so great. He even found out what he bought outside.

"What else do you know?" Xu Cheng's voice was tired and weak.

"Father, don't worry. It doesn't matter what I know. What matters is what your majesty knows." Xu Shian has stood up and seems to be going out.

Xu Cheng lost his temper as soon as he said this.

When he opened the door, Xu Shian took back his leg, but he didn't look back. "By the way, father, I won't kneel to you again in the future. The imperial court has rules. The third grade senior officer gives a jade ultimatum. You seem to be the fourth grade?"

The moon was as cool as water. The moonlight scattered on Xu Cheng's face through the window lattice. It was shocking, surprised and decadent.

When it was ugly, Xu Shian directly scooped a ladle of cold water and washed his face. After waking up for a while, he went straight to the palace.

The Tai Chi hall in the palace is also brightly lit these days.

Although Emperor Yan didn't say much in the court, most people felt at risk.

A Shangshu was quietly closed. There was a blood stream at the gate of the afternoon market in Qinglong Street. There were more than 100 people in the family of Wei Qiming, the Shangshu of the Ministry of household. No matter men, women, old and young, they were all killed. It rained heavily for three days and three nights, but they didn't wash the blood. The random burial post in the West was not enough.

Thinking that Wei Qiming was also surrounded by the front and back before his death, Zhong Ming's family fell down. After his death, the corpses were separated. There was not even a whole corpse or a thin coffin. What's more, the whole family suffered.

These were originally just a black pot for Duke Xu.

Emperor Yan's move made an example of the others, which made countless officials frightened. Looking at the empty position that should have belonged to Wei Qiming, they all felt a sense of rabbit death and fox sorrow.

After the bodyguard at the gate of the palace informed him, Xu Shian calmly entered the Tai Chi hall.

The room was full of candles, as bright as day.

Before he knelt down to greet him, Emperor Yan waved his hand wearily, "it's just you and me. Don't be polite. Sit down."

Before Xu Shian could sit down, Yan Di saw the untreated wound on his forehead, "did Xu Cheng hit you?"

Just listen to Xu Shian's respectful reply, "Your Majesty, your father is just worried that his son has no sense of propriety and can't do what your majesty has told him."

Emperor Yan snorted coldly from his nostrils, "really? Isn't it because the Empress Dowager slapped him in the face in the daytime and he was looking for you to vent his anger? "

Xu Shian's eyes coagulated and his tone was more cautious. "Your Majesty's good warning, Wei Chen was a scholar before. It's OK to write poetry. His father will inevitably worry about doing such an important thing for the first time."

Yan Di took back his aggressive eyes and softened his tone. "Just now the imperial doctor reported that the Empress Dowager had a head attack. I'm afraid she needs to rest for several months..."

He paused, his mouth slightly hooked, a rare smile, "you did a good job."

"I really didn't read you wrong. You are much better than your weak father."

When Yan Di said this, he kept staring at Xu Shian. In fact, he was very surprised. He didn't think Xu Shian was capable before, but after these things, he looked at the young man more and more.

Tarzan does not change color, and there is no joy or anger on his face. Brave and resourceful are indeed rare talents.

"Your Majesty falsely praised it. As a minister, you must take the lead and share your worries for you." More importantly, he is not arrogant and impetuous, and can be a great responsibility.

Emperor Yan stretched out and said in a relaxed tone, "it doesn't make sense for a senior official of the third grade to have no real power. Your father is old, so let him enjoy his life. You should bear the leisure of the division of war and horses first until I find the right person."

Xu Shian's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, got up and knelt down to thank him. "I thank your majesty for his love, and I will do my best."

Yan Di looked at him and said what had been brewing in his heart for a long time, "well, don't hurry to thank you first. You haven't gone to court for a long time. You have become his subordinate. It's also right to care and greet."

"Yes."

When he came out of the Tai Chi hall, the sky was white with fish bellies. Not far away, an early eunuch was cleaning. His entourage had been waiting at the gate of the palace. As soon as he came out, he had to drive back. Xu Shian waved his hand, "go to Zhuque Street to find a good medicine shop and buy some ginseng swallow nests."

The entourage felt strange, "Sir, you are now a senior member of the third grade. It is estimated that the threshold of Xu's house will be broken on the third day. Who else do you want to give gifts to?"

Xu Shian gave his entourage a cool white look, "talkative! Let you go, you go. "

The entourage's back cooled. Sure enough, this man's stay in officialdom was different. The childe is not angry and self-confident now. It makes people feel scared for no reason.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it now."
