Chapter 119 White Dragon Fish Clothes
"Shiju, after a long absence, how is your body?"

Yu Yi led a group of guards from the forbidden army, and traveled day and night to meet Shen Chong and his huge convoy by the bank of Lianhu Lake.

When Shen Chong saw Yu Yi welcoming him, he smiled all over his face, jumped off the car, and strode towards him from a distance: "It's actually Uncle Yu who greets me in person, I'm really flattered!"

Feeling Shen Chong's enthusiasm, Yu Yi's mood became much more cheerful, and the little sense of alienation that he hadn't seen for a long time disappeared, and his mood returned to the state of talking happily in the military camp back then, stepped forward to hold Shen Chong's arm, and raised his head Laughed loudly: "Shiju leads the whole place, crosses the sea to defeat thieves, the masterpiece is now, and we are old friends, and I feel honored!"

As he said, he introduced to Shen Chong, the general Suwei who accompanied him this time.

Most of the six guards of the imperial army are the children of Danyang, and the Ji family has a long history of prestige in the army.Although Ji Zhan has passed away, the influence has not dissipated. Most of the children of the Ji family are among the guards. This Ji Kuang is now the official of the left guard general, and he is the most prominent member of the Ji family in Danyang.

Shen Chong went up to greet Ji Kuang, and said with a smile: "When the child came home, he often said that Ji Jun was elegant, and he felt guilty for his offenses in the past. I can see Ji Jun today, and I should apologize to Ji Jun for my offense that day. .”

Ji Kuang Rongjia was in his body, and after hearing the words, he quickly responded with military salutes, and said: "Your words are serious, your son, Zhezi, and Xiaolang Jun are smart and smart, and the last general thinks about them now, and the wonderful words are still in my ears. My family's literature is still in the Zunfu now. Let the envoy take care of you. Today, when you are in armor, it is not respectful. The next day, I will pay respects to the envoy's mansion, thank you for your old favor."

After exchanging pleasantries with each other, they continued on the road. Shen Chong invited Yu Yi to take a ride together, and they talked happily along the way.One day later, they will pass Yanque Lake in the northwest of Jiankang City and arrive at Qingxi. When they are about to enter the city, Yu Yi said with a smile: "I am a landlord when I come from the south. There are still a few days before the court meeting, so it's better to go there." In Changganli, I will guide Shiju to visit the current scenery of Jiankang."

Before the words fell, Ji Kuang stepped forward and said apologetically: "I want to disappoint the envoy and Yu Sanqi. I am ordered by the emperor that after the envoy arrives in Beijing, he can go directly to Tongyuan in the east of the city for resettlement. The decree is in his body. I hope you two will forgive me."

Hearing this, Yu Yi was slightly taken aback. He had his elder brother's advice to arrange Shen Chong's itinerary, so he didn't think it was different at first.But Ji Kuang suddenly said that the emperor's order was in him, which was contrary to what his elder brother said, which made him feel a little strange.Now that he has been tempered by political affairs, he is no longer as ignorant as before, and he can even smell a few traces of unusualness.

Taking a deep look at Ji Kuang, Yu Yi turned to look at Shen Chong again, and said in a sincere tone: "I am very happy to meet my best friend again. I really didn't know that General Ji had received an order."

Ji Kuang's expression was calm, he was just following orders, and did not think deeply about the rest.

Seeing Yu Yi's slightly astonished expression, Shen Chong's heart moved slightly.He has a talent for subtle changes, and he knows the truth by seeing the subtleties, and he has already guessed a little about Yu Shi's considerations.He took Yu Yi's hand and said with a smile, "I came to the capital this time to report on my duties according to the imperial edict. Now that I have obtained the emperor's order, I dare not disobey it. My uncle and I are inseparable from each other. There is no place for thorns to grow. After the audience, Let's have a toast with Uncle Yu. It's just that there are many affairs in the county, so I don't need to see you again!"

The implication is that he and Yu Yi have an inseparable relationship, and since they are close friends, they trust each other without doubting each other.Other people's consideration methods will not interfere with the friendship between the two.It's just that the personal friendship between the two does not need to be mixed with irrelevant human relations.It is self-evident who this irrelevant person is.

When Yu Yi heard this, he was both moved and ashamed, mixed with regret.There seems to be a misunderstanding between the eldest brother and Shen Chong. One is a close relative and the other is a close friend. He is caught in the middle. Although he can still seek common ground while reserving differences, it is just seeing that the rift between each other is hard to resolve, and he feels a little depressed.

Seeing that Shen Chong and his party and Su Wei went to the Tongyuan built outside the East Palace before the current emperor ascended the throne, Yu Yi felt a sense of loss and resentment.The friendship between him and Shen Chong doesn't have too many trade-offs between each other. It seems a bit abrupt to listen to the elder brother's advice this time.

For a moment he was unavoidably a little depressed, he didn't want to go home again, so he ordered his servants: "Go to Qinhuai Bieye."

Shen Chong looked back at Yu Yi's somewhat disappointed figure in the car, and felt quite touched in his heart.His friendship with Yu Yi was originally based on his son's plan, and he did have some trade-offs and considerations at first.But to this day, there are not too many conflicts of interests with each other, and even if there is a union, it is all echoing Yu Yi and his brother Yu Liang.

But Yu Yi, who has a simple and honest temperament and is quite childlike, moved Shen Chong quite a bit.Therefore, he really intends to maintain this friendship.No matter whether you are successful or frustrated in life, you will have no regrets if you have one or two true friends who you can drink and talk with without any worries.

But thinking of the previous incident, Shen Chong frowned slightly.Ji Kuang was charged with the edict to settle himself down, but Yu Yi didn't know it. From this, it can be seen that the emperor has become alienated from Yu's relatives.If you think about this matter deeply, there will be too many charms for you to smack carefully.

Shen Chong pondered for a long time, and couldn't figure out which possibility was greater, and then recalled that before he left, his son suddenly said that this time when he came to Beijing, he might have a courtesy that exceeded the standard of a minister, so don't hesitate, just accept it calmly.

When foreign ministers return to the court to report on their duties, there are always conventions to follow in their behavior and etiquette.Although all etiquette was kept simple and convenient after Jiangdong, it was never heard that foreign ministers went directly to the old court of the emperor after returning to the court.Could it be that what the son said about the courtesy beyond the standard of a minister refers to this?

For the first time in his life, Shen Chong couldn't understand the reason why his son suddenly made such a statement.In his opinion, after the Yan family was wiped out, although the Shen family was important in Wuzhong, at most it was no more than Liyang Su Jun's position.But even if Li Yang had returned to court several times before, he never had the treatment of living in Tongyuan.What is the reason for such courtesy?

Accept it with equanimity?Shen Chong has always planned before acting, even if it is dangerous, he also thinks more about the consequences he will face in the future.But this time, facing such a treacherous situation, how could he be calm for a while.As a result, the behavior of half-talking to his son was extremely uncomfortable, and he thought in his heart that he would teach this brat a lesson when he returned home this time, and he couldn't express what was in his heart to his father!
With deep doubts, Shen Chong and others walked for half an hour before entering Chengdong Tongyuan.This palace garden is not very gorgeous, but its location is extremely important, from which it can directly lead to the inner garden of the Son of Heaven to the west!Not only Shen Chong was placed here, but even his accompanying cars were not blocked.In other words, if Shen Chong has any unruly thoughts, he can lead his elite soldiers straight into the inner garden palace!

Such a trustworthy treatment made Shen Chong even more suspicious.Although he had the emperor's edict, he dared not make any big promises, and let the trilogy gather outside Tongyuan, and he only brought his personal servants to live here.If the emperor had malicious intentions towards him, even these thousand-odd moves would not be able to protect him from rushing out of Jiankang.That being the case, it is better to abide by the duty of being a minister.

After seeing off the records, Shen Chong lived alone in this rather simple palace, and did not go around, so he re-copied the gift list indoors and presented it in a few days.

In the evening, just as Shen Chong was about to deliver the meal, he suddenly saw Ji Kuang walking into the garden again, and hurriedly greeted him.

Seeing that Shen Chong hadn't rested yet, Ji Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has arrived in Tongyuan, so please make some preparations and go to see me with me."

Seeing the change in Shen Chong's expression, Ji Kuang came up to him and whispered: "You don't have to be surprised, just deal with it normally."

Shen Chong nodded slightly. After the friendship between the Ji family and the Shen family, it is well known in the world that although it is not known why the emperor came suddenly, since Ji Kuang was accompanied by the transmission, it was to reassure him.After returning to the room to tidy up his appearance, Shen Chong put the gift list in his arms, then hurried out, and walked with Ji Kuang to the depths of Tongyuan.

Walking all the way to a hall, seeing a group of swordsmen standing in front of the door, Shen Chong's heart moved, he quickly held his breath, and walked with Ji Kuang to stop in front of the hall.After waiting for a while, a servant came out to invite Shen Chong into the hall.

Shen Chong took a few deep breaths, stepped into the hall, first looked up the hall, and saw a young man in regular clothes with yellowish beard and hair, described as slightly haggard, which matched the characteristics of the emperor's appearance described by his son, so he hurried to the hall I bow down: "Minister Wu Xing and Shen Chong, see Your Majesty."

Ever since Shen Chong entered the palace, the emperor had been staring at his every move with burning eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Shen Hou, please get up and take a seat. Sincerely, Marquis Shen don’t mind.”

Shen Chong hurriedly worshiped again: "How dare you be a virtuous minister with a meager talent. The courtesy is so generous inside and outside, and I am really afraid. I have won the trust of your majesty and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Since taking up the post, I have been trembling. Today I have to worship in front of the gate and listen to the emperor. It's hard to tell yourself about Ai Ai during the period. But with this form of congratulations, I hope that Your Majesty will enjoy the Spring and Autumn Eternity and be powerful all over the world."

As he spoke, he held up the congratulatory message for the audience in his arms, and handed it to the servant, and then got up and slowly retreated into the table.

The emperor took the gift list and glanced at it, his brows twitched suddenly, then he gently closed it and put it on the case, and said with a smile: "Xiangnian, I saw the son of Marquis Shen, who was born with a natural beauty and impressed me deeply, but he only offered a clumsy poem. A utensil. Today, Marquis Shen is generous, is it to make up for the loss?"

Shen Chong bowed his head sideways and said: "This indecentness is a payment from the thieves. It is temporarily stored in the county. This time it is brought here and returned to the internal money."

Hearing this, the emperor's smile froze, and then he picked up the gift list and read it carefully, his brows gradually frowned and then slowly relaxed, and when he looked at Shen Chong again, his expression became more gentle: "Wu Zhong raised this giant bandit, if it weren't for the meritorious deeds of Marquis Shen, I don't know how long I will indulge in evil!"

"The Yan family's thieves were originally Wu Xinggong Yu's first detection of the omens, and the ministers followed him up, and dare not take credit for it."

The emperor smiled and said nothing, then passed on the meal, and invited Shen Chong to have a meal in the palace.After more than a quarter of an hour, the meal was finished, and the emperor got up, looking very happy, and said to Shen Chong: "I have heard the name of Marquis Shen for a long time, and I have a small gathering today. It is not a good time. Before coming to the Japanese court, we will discuss the state affairs together. Marquis Shen You are exhausted, you should rest early, and I won't bother you any more."

With that said, the emperor walked out of the palace, and Shen Chong hurriedly got up to follow him.Walking to the gate of the palace, there was a night wind blowing, and the emperor's robe was slightly lifted. Shen Chong glanced at the corner of the robe with a dark red stain under his ribs, which seemed to be blood stains. Seems to have figured it out a bit.

The emperor laughed and chatted with Shen Chong for a few more words, then got on the chariot, Shen Chong pondered for a while, suddenly walked to the front of the chariot and bowed down, and said in a deep voice: "The white dragon fish suit is not a good fortune for the country, I ask your majesty to do it for the community." , can’t do it again! The night is cold and windy, and I am willing to carry my halberd to escort me back to the palace!”

Hearing Shen Chong's words, the emperor was taken aback for a moment, and after a while the smile on his face became warmer: "Shen Hou has already made great achievements for our pastoral side, how can he make a small job for this?"

"The monarch's body and the country's system, if you have the trust of the king, how dare you talk about the inferiority of your position!"

Shen Chong bowed again and stood up, then took a long halberd from the soldier's hand, and stood respectfully by the side of the chariot without looking sideways.It's just that I glanced at the cold stars in the sky from the corner of my eye, and suddenly felt a little sad because of the impermanence of fate.Today the emperor came to see each other like a friend, no matter what his intentions were, he was indeed somewhat moved in his heart.

The sadness in my heart may not be caused by people, but by objects, scenes, and difficulties in the world.The sky is like a net, and everyone is in prison.

　I wrote the last paragraph several times, and finally chose the first one. . .Writing, just don't get entangled, it takes effort and time. . .
