Shi Yufeng saw that Xie Yuan's expression was scrutinizing, and his red phoenix eyes were full of power, scratching his heart like a broomstick, making people feel uncomfortable.

Just when he tremblingly thought that he had exposed something and was displeased by Xie Yuan, he heard her ask:
"Will you manage the accounts?"

"Ah?" Shi Yufeng was dumbfounded and didn't react for a long time.

Xie Yuan slightly raised the corners of his lips and smiled, and the majesty on his face disappeared instantly.

She turned around, gracefully stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation, led him inside, and said:
"If you know how, then you will be in charge of the army's logistics, the distribution of supplies, food and fodder, and the income and expenditure of accounts. I will be in charge of training and fighting."

Shi Yufeng followed her inside with a blank expression, but still didn't respond.

Is this a temptation?
After a while, Shi Yufeng asked: "This...such an important position, this... Commander Xie is not prepared, and find a trusted person to manage it?"

Those who are in charge of money and food are equivalent to holding the lifeline of an army. As long as they can't get rid of the pot for a day, they will go wrong even if they can fight.

Hearing this, Xie Yuan turned his head around, looked at him like that again, and glanced at him with his naturally powerful Danfeng eyes. His expression was full of confidence, and he asked back:

"Can't you be?"

Shi Yufeng was taken aback for another moment, feeling that Xie Yuan was testing him, he quickly replied with a smile:

"I can. I must be Commander Xie's confidant. I have no second thoughts."

"That's it." Xie Yuan said bluntly, and then asked, "Will you know it?"

"Yes! I will! I know all these things."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you! Shi Yu..." Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, then boldly reached out and patted Shi Yufeng on the shoulder, "Deputy Commander Feng."

……

Not far away, Shen Liuzhen, who was about to go out, happened to see Xie Yuan and Shi Yufeng coming in.

The two corridors are separated by a yard.Xie Yuan and the others didn't see him, but he happened to be able to take a panoramic view of those two figures.

Seeing them walking in one after the other, Shen Liuzhen suddenly laughed, and said to Liu Qinbing who was following him with the meaning of watching the excitement:
"Looking at that Shi Yufeng's expression, it's obvious that he was thinking too much, but when he met A Yuan who didn't follow the routine, he was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do."

After listening to his explanation, Liu Qinbing looked over carefully, and found that he could only see that Shi Yufeng seemed a little nervous. Although he was following behind Xie Yuan, he stretched his neck and kept staring at Xie Yuan's expression...Other I didn't see anything.

So he joked: "My good guy, you can read minds, how do you know this?"

Seeing that they had disappeared behind the courtyard wall, Shen Liuzhen remembered and walked out, smiling and asking, "Don't you believe it?"

"Believe it, can I not believe it?" Liu Qinbing said with a smile.

Shen Liuzhen kept his hands in his sleeves, and was still wrapped in a thick cloak. When walking, he could only see his moving feet, occasionally causing his hem to flutter. His upper body was like a delicate wooden doll. He said:
"Actually, there's nothing unusual about it. I know A Yuan very well, and I know a little about Shi Yufeng's personality. When the two of them meet, that's the way it should be."

Shen Liuzhen's words were very firm.

Liu Qinbing heard this, but asked worriedly: "You said that Shi Yufeng has too many eyes?...Will Xie Yuan suffer?"

Shen Liuzhen smiled, showing tenderness on his face, and still said very firmly:
"A Yuan does not rely on her heart to get along with people, but her own personality charm. She is much more popular than me. People who have been with her for a long time, if they want to betray her, it will be a test of conscience."

Liu Qinbing heard about it, glanced at him, and said worriedly:
"Hey, you are quite self-aware. You know everything, but I haven't seen you change it."

Shen Liuzhen was also very calm, looked back at him and said:

"'The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change', haven't you heard of it? You let A Yuan become like me, and she can't do it. Why do you always ask me to change?"

"All right, all right, I can't beat you. Anyway, I don't worry too much now. With Xie Yuan here, whoever wants to kill you has to weigh his own force." Liu Qinbing said.

……

Inside the palace.

Wu Lei looked at Shen Liuzhen on the opposite side with some guilty conscience, then turned around again, put the few reports of wind collectors in his hand on the table, and said:
"Ah... haven't these people been punished already?"

Shen Liuzhen cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, these few people who should be sentenced to death have been sentenced to exile, and those who should have been dismissed have only paid a fine. I heard from Mr. Ting Wei that this is all at your behest. I can ask, is it true?" For what?"

In fact, Shen Liuzhen knew why, but he just wanted to say it, to remind Wu Lei, to make him uneasy, and to rein in the precipice.

Sure enough, Ulay sighed and said:
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the Empress Dowager Bao begged for mercy. In order to give her a little face, she made some accommodations."

Seeing that Shen Liuzhen raised his arm and was about to speak, he quickly added:
"For those few people, I have already asked their family members to go to the palace to teach them a lesson. They all know they made a mistake and promise not to do it again. It's just a demotion and punishment, and it won't have much impact on the new law."

Shen Liuzhen bowed his head slightly respectfully, and asked directly:

"Does Your Majesty really think it won't have much impact?"

Emperor Ulay was silent. He turned his body, pressed the chessboard beside him with one hand, picked up two chess pieces with the other hand, and pushed them on the chessboard unconsciously, with a distressed expression.

Shen Liuzhen looked up at him, thought for a moment, and then asked lightly:

"Your Majesty, do you remember how hateful Zong Ai was back then?"

Ulay's hand that was pushing the chess piece stopped suddenly, and his deep eyes lifted, revealing the light of resentment, as if the name Zong Ai was a spell.

Shen Liuzhen went on to say:

"Your Majesty may think that your minister is alarmist, but he was as wise as Emperor Taiwu back then, and he never thought that he just trusted Zongai, listened to his advice, and spared a few people, which would give him supreme power and courage. to that extent."

Shen Liuzhen's voice was up and down, every word and every word poked at the sore spot of Emperor Ulei.

The noble young emperor closed his eyes, as if he was very tired, he said heavily:

"I know, I have a sense of propriety. I mostly refused many of my mother's requests and suggestions. I just let her be happy about innocuous things..."

As he spoke, he slowly opened his eyes again, the light in his deep brows gradually became firmer, and he said:
"Don't worry, I will never repeat the mistakes of Emperor Taiwu. You also know that I didn't keep my mother in Pingcheng just to prevent her from interfering in politics... This decision is useful."
