They all say I'm a tyrant

When Ruiyun came back with the gifts from You, You Yan was standing by the window with a jug of plum blossom wine in a daze.Ruiyun lowered his head and glanced at his hand: "My lord, although this plum blossom wine is delicious, it is cold after all. The last time the imperial doctor came to check your pulse, he said that although the weather is hot, you have old injuries. Don't be too greedy."

You Yan turned his head, with the corners of his eyes flushed from drinking, he shook the jug in his hand towards Ruiyun: "The imperial doctor is right, but... I've already finished drinking."

Obviously just now he was posing as an elder to teach others in a serious manner, but looking back, he looked like this. Ruiyun had no choice but to take the empty flagon from his hand, holding the slightly drunk The man sat down on the rug, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "My lord, you have always loved my little lord very much, and you have never been willing to tell him about him for so many years. Why did you lose your temper so much today? What about asking him to read "Book of Rites", I haven't seen you read that book, and when I took it out of the shelf, there was still dust on it."

You Yan took a sip of tea and leaned on the soft bed with a lazy look: "Have you ever heard a sentence?"

Ruiyun said: "What are you talking about?"

"We can't be close." You Yan shook the teacup in his hand, "Although Shuwen is my nephew, compared with our Majesty, he can be regarded as a close relationship. No matter what happens between the two of us, It’s no one’s turn to talk to others.” You Yan squeezed a candied fruit and threw it into his mouth, “Besides…”

"what?"

You Yan smiled at Ruiyun: "My biggest problem is protecting my weaknesses." After speaking, seeing Ruiyun's eyes were confused, You Yan kindly explained: "Don't mention that Lin Ce is the unique one in this world in my heart, even if he No matter how many problems there are, they shouldn't be brought up in front of me. Shuwen is still young, and when he gets married to the princess and becomes a husband, he will naturally understand that no one can accept others criticizing your daughter-in-law in front of you."

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law?" Ruiyun was surprised.

You Yan glanced at him: "The meaning is almost enough, why bother so much." He raised his arms and stretched his waist, and looked out the window, "Just now Shuwen said that I haven't been here for a few days, Three days or five days? Our Majesty seems to be very busy these days, but he didn't call me into the palace?"

Rui Yun said: "Your Majesty won't call you, you can go by yourself, Your Majesty will be happy to see you."

"I think so too." You Yan tilted his head and thought for a while: "Go and find out my token for entering the palace, and then change into a robe, um, just the blue one just now will do."

"My lord, that robe is prepared by my wife for you to wear when the little lord is engaged."

You Yan shook his finger at Ruiyun and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, of course I should dress better. Waiting to coax your Majesty to be happy, do you want any new robes?"

Rui Yun subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but felt that what his young master said was very reasonable, so he prepared according to You Yan's instructions. You Yan stood by the window and stretched his arms, looking at the bright sun outside the window, he no longer felt hot.

You Yan put on a brand-new cyan round-neck gown, tied up his ink-like long hair again, and put on the slightly old bone hairpin. It seems that the past few years have not left many marks on You Yan.

You Yan looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's been a long time since I ate imperial food, so I won't go back home for dinner today."

Seeing his appearance, Ruiyun also felt better, and couldn't help joking: "Maybe there's no need to hold the door for you, right?"

You Yan raised his eyebrows, waved his hand at him, and walked out the door with the corners of his lips curled up.

You Yan has an imperial token in his hand, he can enter and leave the imperial city at will without edict. In the past four years, the guards of the imperial city have long been used to the general appearing at the gate of the city at any time for any reason. Youfu's carriage only routinely checked the token and let the person in.

Changle Palace looked exceptionally quiet today. You Yan walked all the way to the entrance of the main hall and saw two unfamiliar servants. Before he could be confused, one of the servants had already asked, "Who is here? Why did you break into Changle Palace?" , What's the matter with the guards, why did they let people in at will?"

You Yan had never been interrogated like this before in Changle Palace, he just found it novel, he cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "General You Yan, please see the Holy Majesty."

Before You Yan became an official, he was famous in the capital city, and later he became famous in the northwest battle, holding the military power. No one in the entire capital knew his name, and the servant was no exception, but he never thought of the famous The general actually looks like such a gentle and elegant scholar.

"What?" You Yan touched his face, "What's the problem?"

The servant came back to his senses, and exchanged glances with the other servant: "Your Majesty just sent an order saying that he has important matters to deal with today, and no one is allowed to go in and disturb him."

You Yan raised his eyebrows: "Where is your manager Gao?"

"The manager is naturally serving His Majesty inside."

"Then please ask the two of you to invite him out, just say that I want to meet the Holy Majesty, Director Gao will make his own decision." You Yan clasped his hands in the wide sleeves of his robe, and said slowly.

Perhaps it was because the general lost his military talisman, but his prestige was still there. The two servants discussed in a low voice, one stayed outside the hall, and the other entered the hall to deliver the message.

For You Yan, this Changle Palace is like another mansion of his own. He has spent a lot of time here in the past four years, and he is very familiar with every plant and tree here. Back and forth, completely oblivious to the fact that another servant was watching his every move cautiously.

After a while, the servant who entered the hall walked out quickly, and bowed his hands towards You Yan: "General, Director Gao said that he is serving His Majesty and has no time to come to see you. Please wait for an edict to come to meet the Holy Spirit again."

You Yan raised his eyebrows: "Is this Gao Yong's original words?"

The waiter lowered his head slightly: "Yes."

You Yan stared at him for a while, just when the waiter thought that he would get angry, You Yan suddenly laughed: "It seems that not only our sage's temper is good, but also the temper of the people around him is getting better and better. It's too big." He turned his face sideways and glanced at the plaque of Changle Palace, "In that case, I will retire."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two people to respond, they turned around and left.

Gao Yong has been by Lin Ce's side since he was an unknown prince, and You Yan and him are old acquaintances, so You Yan also knows that Gao Yong will not dare to say those words to him if he takes ten more courage, and the whole Changle It is only one person that Gong can convey the word in a Gao Yong tone.

So, Lin Ce didn't want to see him?

The confusion in You Yan's heart was greater than the anger. After all, this kind of thing had never happened in the past few years. It's not that he and Lin Ce had disagreements and conflicts, but it was never the way to solve the problem. .

You Yan walked towards the city gate along the long alleyway, but Lin Ce's avoidance made him a little distracted, he didn't care when he saw a walking chariot approaching from a distance, he just stopped to avoid it, but he didn't Thinking that the chariot stopped beside him, You Yan casually raised his head and saw that the person on it was the Empress Dowager Wu, and bowed to salute: "I have seen the Empress Dowager."

Maybe because she remembered the unhappiness when the two met last time, Empress Dowager Wu's complexion was not very good. She raised her eyelids and said coldly: "I didn't expect to meet You Qing here again. If Ai Jia remembers correctly, Last time the emperor said that without his will, no foreign minister is allowed to enter the palace. You Qing was also present at that time, so You Qing entered the palace today because of the order? The Ai family did not expect that You Qing would be so busy after handing over the military power ?”

You Yan's mood at the moment is not very good. After all, he left the house full of expectations, but he didn't expect to be rejected. Sneering and sarcastic, the smile on his face faded immediately, and he didn't bother to be perfunctory anymore. He took out a token from his arms and waved it at Empress Dowager Wu: "I still have something to do, so I won't bother the Empress Dowager. Farewell."

"General You, you have contradicted Aijia over and over again, have you taken Aijia and the emperor seriously?" Empress Dowager Wu was slightly angry, she pointed at You Yan, and was about to explode when a somewhat familiar insider The waiter ran over from a distance, leaned in front of her and said something in a low voice. Empress Dowager Wu raised her eyes, her eyes stayed on You Yan's face for a while, and suddenly she smiled, "I heard that You Yan just The general hasn't seen the emperor yet? Ai's family is going to Changle Palace to discuss with the emperor about the post-election, why not go with General You, you have known the emperor for many years, and you can also give your opinion on such a big matter as choosing an empress. "

You Yan turned his head to look at Empress Dowager Wu, leaned slightly, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips: "This kind of thing is not easy for a courtier, and the Queen Mother, as His Majesty's mother, must be able to do it, Your Majesty's Lord." Yes." He finished his words and glanced at the servant hiding beside the chariot, "I said why there are so many new faces in Changle Palace recently, but I still want to kindly comfort the Queen Mother. You can't rub the sand, if he finds out that someone is behind his back and doing some trivial tricks, then even you, the Queen Mother, may not be able to bear the emperor's wrath."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand towards Empress Dowager Wu, walked past the chariot, and left the imperial city without looking back.

Empress Dowager Wu gritted her teeth and stared at his back for a while, until she saw his back disappearing from her eyes, she lowered her eyes and turned to look at the servant just now: "Are you sure the emperor doesn't know about his coming?" ?”

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the maidservant only said that there was a foreign minister asking for an audience, but when Mr. Gao saw that His Majesty was upset, he asked the maidservant to send him away." The servant whispered.

Empress Dowager Wu laughed and nodded with satisfaction: "Go back, Aijia will go there later, don't let the emperor notice."

"Yes, Queen Mother."
