Chapter 394 I think it makes sense
"Hey, look at what you said, Uncle Ma Guo really knows how to joke." Shen Qingzhi said something straightforward, and then said to the emperor seated:
"Your Majesty, you need to decide on the list of funeral objects that the late emperor carried with you. After all...we foreign ministers don't know what His Majesty's favorite things are."

"Oh yes...then this matter can't be careless...then what should we do now?" The little emperor looked at Xie Yuan, and then turned his questioning gaze on Duke Ma.

"What should I do? Your Majesty, if you have any difficult decision to ask the old minister, your Majesty will let the old minister be the pillar of the country, in order to share the worries and solve the problems for your majesty." Shen Qingzhi asked very frankly.

If someone else said this, I'm afraid they would be suspected of taking over the emperor, but when Shen Qingzhi said it, he felt it was normal, and it was even refreshing and friendly, and it would not make people feel disgusted in the slightest.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the little emperor honestly explained to Shen Qingzhi:

"Uncle Ma said that sealing Xie Yuan as a general of hussars would probably be hard to convince the public. After a period of time, after Xie Ma has meritorious service, it will not be too late to seal him. I think it makes sense, what does Shen Guozhu think?"

Shen Qingzhi glanced at Uncle Ma Guo, and said in surprise:
"The old minister thought Uncle Ma Guo was wrong. Many ministers were present and heard the late emperor's decree before his death. Now that the late emperor's catalpa coffin has not left the palace gate, your majesty will openly violate the late emperor's decree... ...This matter is much more serious than whether the appointment of General Xie can convince the public."

Shen Qingzhi bowed deeply to the emperor seated, and said: "We Han people value filial piety the most. Anyone who does this in ordinary people will be scolded bloody by the neighbors in the neighborhood. Your Majesty is the master of a country and the example of all people." , if such a thing is done...then..."

Shen Qing didn't say anything after that, but stretched his arms and pointed to the outside of the gate very helplessly.The following words are self-explanatory... "I will be scolded by the world."

The little emperor suddenly realized, and said to Uncle Ma Guo: "Uncle Guo, what Shen Guozhu said is very reasonable. Earlier, I was so busy thinking about your reasoning that I almost forgot about this important matter. The seal of the general cannot be changed. .”

Uncle Ma Guo's eyes widened when he heard this, his shiny dark skin flushed with anger.He seemed a little unwilling, and looked at Xie Yuan.As if struggling again, the wide sleeves of the official uniform moved down.

Then he finally made up his mind, took a step, turned around and bowed to the little emperor, compromised, and said:

"Previously, I was all thinking about His Majesty's Qianqiu community, but I didn't think carefully. Please punish me."

The little emperor didn't take it seriously, and said: "Hey, Uncle Ma Guo is serious. What are you talking about? I know your good intentions. In this case, Xie Yuan accepts the order..."

As the little emperor spoke, he raised his sleeves towards Xie Yuan chicly.

Xie Yuan had been watching them argue coldly. Disappointed with the new emperor and worried about the future fate of the Song Dynasty, she never thought about whether her position would be promoted or not.Instead, he fell into a soundless silence composed of loss, and didn't even bother to move his expression and mind.

Later, when she heard her master, Shen Qingzhi, give the little emperor's idea again in a few words, a glimmer of hope was rekindled in her heart, and the firm look in her eyes flashed past, she swung forward and knelt down, Respectfully said:
"Minister Xie Yuan listens to the order."

"Confess Xie Yuan as the Great General of Hussars, open the gate of the mansion, and bestow thousands of acres of fertile land." The little emperor finished.

Xie Yuan kowtowed, and said sincerely: "Minister Xie Yuan, thank you Lord Long En."

"Get up." After the little emperor finished speaking, he got off his seat, walked to Shen Qingzhi's side, and said:
"Shen Guozhu, do you have a list of funeral objects for me to refer to?"

Shen Qingzhi originally looked at Xie Yuan's figure, and sighed half relieved and half sad, but when he saw the emperor had arrived by his side, he said hastily:
"Yes, yes, it is in the hands of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the old minister will go get it now?"

"No need, let me go by myself." After the little emperor finished speaking, he walked out of the main hall.

Shen Qingzhi had no choice but to follow, but before going, he quickly walked up to Xie Yuan, and said openly:
"Yuan'er... It's been a long time since we, master and apprentice, remember to visit me in the mansion."

After all, he waved his hand to Uncle Ma Guo who was standing not far away, and said, "Uncle Ma Guo, I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Uncle Ma Guo to respond, he rushed out of the palace gate to chase the little emperor.

The main hall, which was still heavily weathered and filled with palace servants and guards, suddenly became empty because of the departure of the little emperor, leaving only Xie Yuan and Ma Guogong.

Xie Yuan turned to look at Ma Guogong, and Ma Guogong also looked at her.The dark and thin man had majestic coldness and sternness in his eyes, like a bloodthirsty old wolf who made no secret of his cruelty.

Xie Yuan looked at her without fear, and Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Ma Guogong clasped his hands in front of him, and walked out of the hall step by step in a rhythmic manner.The foot of a martial artist is very stable, every time he hits the ground, it is as stable as if he is fixed on the ground and takes root.

When he passed by Xie Yuan, he stopped and squinted at Xie Yuan from the corner of his eyes, as if he was about to say something.

But in the end, he just sneered and left the hall quickly without saying anything.

Xie Yuan turned around, habitually put his hands behind his back, with a tall and straight body, looking at the leaving figure of Uncle Ma.

When he lowered his eyes, he saw his own saber that had been abandoned on the ground.

She looked outside the door and saw that the guards outside the hall who were in charge of protecting the emperor had already left, so she bent down to pick up her sword.

But just as she was about to touch it, she withdrew her hand and stood up straight again looking at the sword.

She went into battle to kill the enemy, the sword is a consumable, I don't know how many rolled blades she used.The sword she used to use at home has also been changing in length along with her height.

Therefore, the sword on the ground is new, and she cherishes it very much, but it is not impossible to replace it.

Xie Yuan looked at the long palace road outside the main hall, then glanced at the sword reluctantly, then quickly raised his eyes and stopped looking, stared ahead, and walked away gracefully with his head upright.

Only the sword was left, lying quietly in the hall.

……

Xie Yuan had nowhere to go after leaving the palace gate, but in order not to offend Princess Huaizhen, he directly found an inn in Beijing to stay.

In the evening, Yue felt that her master Shen Qingzhi was about to return home from the palace, so she went to Shen's residence.

It's still the same old house, but it used to be written as Shen's Mansion on the plaque, but now it's changed to Ding Guozhu's Mansion.

Xie Yuan looked at the huge plaque and got off the horse. As soon as his feet landed, the door opened from the inside.
