Li Wanyun doesn't care anymore. Anyway, brother, I am the emperor. The fish on your chopping board can be cut however you like!
Even if you chop it into pieces, I won't complain. Who makes you the emperor and my brother, I'm just a king?
After arriving in Beijing, he closed the door to thank the guests. Even when his three nephews came to greet him, he said he was sick and had not seen them. Only when Xiao Chen came, he dragged his 'sick body' and reluctantly came out to see him.
Because the emperor hadn't seen him yet, Xiao Chen couldn't talk to him in depth, nor could he stay too long, so he just asked about his 'condition', chatted a few nonsense words, and then told him in a hurry.
Later, he ordered people to send him a lot of tonics, which proved that he was indeed 'severely ill'.
It was Mr. Murong who was sending the gift. Murong Heng was not in a hurry to leave, but Li Wanjiang kept urging him to go back, saying that in this important place in the Western Region, he could not leave his husband, otherwise I would be really worried...
Although I know that you and the queen have not seen each other for a long time and it is rare to see each other again, I still ask my husband to put state affairs first and forgive me for stealing my love.
During the days when Murong Heng was in the capital, except for the day when he was watching a play in Li Shi's mansion and he was sent back by Li Shi's order, Xiao Chen never saw him once, which showed that the two of them were very unfamiliar.
But when he was leaving, all the officials went to see him off. Xiao Chen came to see him off in person, and Murong Heng invited him to have a drink, so it didn't seem out of the ordinary.
This time the two chatted openly for a long time, and no one knew what they were talking about.
The natural way to visit relatives is to go to the palace to see Dan Qiu. Although Xiao Chen is no longer a eunuch, he is still the queen's man after all. The place where he made his fortune was in Kunning Palace, so even though he has become a feudal official, he still There is a feeling of love between dogs and horses.
After all, Xiao Chen was in Fengyang at the moment. If he was in danger, it was only human nature for him to seek the queen's protection.
It's just that he can no longer be as casual as when he was a eunuch, and the time to see Danqiu should not be too long. Both of them felt that they were not very happy.
Of course it's not what you think. So far, the relationship between the two of them is still pure. There are cuddling, hugging and kissing, but nothing else.
You can also say that the two are still in love.
There are so many friends to visit. It's okay these days. Xiao Chen has paid a return visit to all the people who have come to visit him. When it's time to chat, when it's time to eat and drink, he behaves very naturally and smoothly, looking happy and ready to stay for a long time. look like.
Someone asked him if he would be entrusted with another important task by the emperor if he stayed in Fengyang.
Speaking of which, Mr. Xiao, you are considered a very human minister. How can the emperor add a title to you?
Besides, you are now the dual governor of Yanyun and Yizhou. Isn't it appropriate to stay in the capital all the time?
Don't you want to go back to work?
Also, I heard that the emperor has the intention of letting you lead troops to fight against the English. So, are you going or not?
Xiao Chen also smiled and said nothing, looking mysterious.
Naturally, I also visited Yandang King Li Yan.
Yan is now completely lying down. He spends his days in the palace raising flowers and grass, watching operas and listening to music. Occasionally he only goes out to hunt in the suburbs of the city, and goes for an outing in the mountains, showing that he has nothing to do.
He rarely sees visitors, and in fact few people come to see him, because he has been fighting outside with Li Feng, and he has no friends at all in Beijing, or he dare not make any friends.
If there is one, it's Xiao Chen, so I'm quite happy to know that Xiao Chen is visiting. But it's not interesting for you kid to come to see me after so long.
Are you saying that you're not the kind of snobbery who just likes tea?
Even when Lin Dongyang was in trouble and imprisoned, you still called him brother and sister. I was just idle at home. Why didn't you come to see me earlier? Are you afraid that I won't have any wine for you to drink, or are you afraid that you don't regard me as a friend at all?
"My lord, I just treat you as a friend, so I came to see you late. If I greet you as soon as I come back, I don't know how many people will have their own crazy thoughts!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Do I still care about this now?" Li Yan said with a smile, "In addition to this prince, what else do I have? Is it worth them to bite me with only this skin, flesh and bones?"
"Look at what the prince said, you are not afraid, am I not afraid?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "You are the idle prince, and I am still the official of the border, okay? At such a sensitive time now, every move I make I don’t know how many people are watching.”
"That's true." Li Yan said with a smile, "I have nothing and I'm not afraid. I wonder why you are not afraid either? You came to Fengyang at this time, you are really a courageous man!"
"Oh, that's not a good thing to say." Xiao Chen said, "My lord, do you also suspect that I have different intentions towards the emperor?"
"But that's none of my business. During these times at home, I have figured it out and seen clearly that all four elements in life are empty." Li Yan said.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your prince's realm is really..." Xiao Chen admired.
"In the final analysis, he is just being wise and protecting himself." Li Yan said, "No matter how you say it, the body you keep at home during these times is actually strong, unlike Uncle Wang, who becomes ill from overwork and is bedridden."
"Well, the prince is actually quite ill, probably because he caught the wind and cold on the road." Xiao Chen said.
"Actually, it's just a mental illness." Li Yan sighed, "Uncle Wang is different from me. I can be a carefree prince and do nothing about anything, but he can't."
"My lord, you can't just ignore things, right?" Xiao Chen said, "Even if you don't care about state affairs, you still have to worry about family affairs, otherwise... you will appear too cold and distant."
"I finally got out of the quagmire, and you want me to jump in again?" Li Yan's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.
"It's not about jumping in. My lord, you have always been in it." Xiao Chen said solemnly, "Why are everyone wallowing in the mire, but you, my lord, are the only ones who have emerged from the mire and remained untouched?"
Li Yan is a member of the Li family, that is, a descendant of the royal family. He cannot take off this identity tag no matter what, not without death!
So no matter how he escapes, he can't escape, because what he escapes is himself.
If the prince has been chosen and the court situation has been stabilized, then he can do whatever he wants. Even if he keeps a low profile and does nothing, even if he acts recklessly and acts tyrannically, the emperor and the prince will never do anything to him.
But in this situation, it is not appropriate for him to keep pretending to be deaf and mute.
Sometimes if you want to be low-key, you must first be high-profile, and when you really want to be high-profile, you can be low-key.
So if you want to be on your own, you have to do something.
Besides, there are only four of you princes on Monday, and all three of you are involved. Is it possible for you to stay out of it?
Why do you show that you are noble?
"Sigh... that is, Xiao Chen, you are willing to say this to me. In fact, I have thought about this too." Li Yan was silent for a long time before he sighed leisurely and said, "Then in your opinion, what should I do?
"For now, let's just wait and see what happens." Xiao Chen said.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Li Yan said angrily, waiting to see what happens, isn't it just to stay out of the matter?
"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case." Xiao Chen smiled slightly, which was quite meaningful.
