They all say I'm a tyrant

Two generals were sitting in the middle of the school field majestically, one looked up at the sky, the other looked down at his feet. After a long time, Tao Jiang suddenly said, "Actually, I think this is pretty good?"

"Huh?" You Yan turned to look at him, "What's good?"

"Leave the army and go back to be your noble son." Tao Jiang slowly raised his head and smiled at him, "Although I stayed here because of you, I have to say that you don't belong here .”

You Yan laughed and said, "I don't belong here? Then where do I belong?"

Tao Jiang frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know, maybe you don't belong anywhere. You are different from us warriors. You are a son of the Duke of Yue. You grew up dignified. Why bother?" Come here to suffer." He said, scratching his hair, and said with a smile, "I still remember when we first went to the northwest to fight the first battle, you, a general, rushed to the front with a sword. It’s not good, but it’s full of momentum. I’m really scared to follow you, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you well, and it doesn’t matter if His Majesty wants my life when I come back in the future, I’m afraid he doesn’t even want his own life.”

You Yan tilted his head to look at him, and keenly grasped the key point in his words: "You are not good at martial arts?"

Tao Jiang choked, and explained: "Well, it's good to be among the boys you used to play with, but it must be worse than us." He stretched out his hand and patted the dust on his body, " But after you came back, your body has been in poor health, and you have been busy with military affairs. At least you can take care of yourself at home now. There are me and a few generals in the military, and you will not be disappointed."

You Yan looked at him silently for a while, then stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder: "It's almost enough, you are suddenly so serious, it makes me feel that I am here to explain the funeral. Let's talk about something serious," he said Looking around, they could still clearly hear the sound of soldiers training in the nearby school field from their position. He listened carefully, and then continued, "Let your people check someone for me."

Back then, under You Yan's instruction, Tao Jiang selected a small group of soldiers from among his personal soldiers. Each of them was highly skilled, shrewd and capable. They looked no different from ordinary soldiers when they were hidden in the army on weekdays. Appears only when needed to complete some very special tasks.

Tao Jiang sat up straight and listened to what You Yanjiang said later: "Go and find out why Shangshu Li Bu's calligraphy and paintings are suddenly famous in the capital, and when did anyone ask Li Shangshu for inscriptions, and gave it to him again?" How much is his bonus fee?"

Tao Jiang responded, "Yes, my subordinates will immediately send someone to investigate."

"The results of the investigation will be sent directly to my mansion. Don't let others notice." After You Yan finished speaking, he stood up slowly, shook the dust on the hem of his clothes, and looked down at Tao Jiang, "Enough to rest with me Walk around in the camp, if you still can’t get up, I can call two people to carry you.”

Tao Jiang got up from the ground, shook his clothes and stood beside You Yan, with a refreshed face, completely ignoring the fatigue just now.You Yan looked at him for a while, then patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Let's go."

After staying outside the city for most of the day, You Yan returned to the capital on horseback as the sun was setting.It was in the evening when the tired birds returned to their nests, and the people who had worked outside all day also returned home. The streets and alleys were empty, only You Yan and his horse were still wandering aimlessly.

When we arrived at Youfu, the sky would be dark, and the lanterns at the gate of Youfu had already been lit, swaying with the breeze, adding a bit of loneliness to the huge Youfu in the twilight.You Yan stared at the lantern for a while, then stepped forward to knock on the door, the door opened, Ruiyun greeted him first: "My lord, you are finally back."

"Why are you here?"

A young man stepped forward to take the reins of the horse, and Ruiyun led You Yan to the mansion, "I guess it's almost time, so I came out to meet you. The master came back during the day, and the madam told you to wait for you to come back and spend the evening together." meal."

"It's only halfway through this summer, and Dad is willing to come back?" You Yan smiled, "I'll go change my clothes first, you go and tell mother that I will be there soon."

Perhaps because of the personality of the head of the family, You Zhan, and You Jun's weak body, he usually eats in his own room, and only on New Year's Day or on days like today when we haven't been together for a long time, everyone will get together. But there are not too many rules, and it is fun.

Today, however, there are some exceptions. For example, You Li, who was always very active in the past, is extraordinarily peaceful this day. Occasionally, he will look at You Yan, but he will immediately look away, with a guilty conscience after doing something wrong. You Yan couldn't help but find it funny.

After all, he brought up the child with his own hands, and he wouldn't hold grudges against You Li because of some dissatisfaction with his words the day before, so he put a bowl of soup in front of You Li, and You Li raised his head in disbelief , looking at You Yan, whispered: "Thank you, Uncle."

After dinner, You Yan went back to his room, not long after, someone knocked lightly on the door of his room, and You Li poked his head in: "Uncle, can I come in?"

"It seems that you have read the Book of Rites well, and you know how to be polite when you come here." You Yan was sitting on the soft bed blowing the wind, and couldn't help laughing at the somewhat perturbed expression of You Yan, "Come in."

Only then did You Li walk in slowly, stood in front of You Yan, and handed over the thick stack of papers in his hand.You Yan raised his eyebrows: "What is this?"

You Li said: "Punish me for copying the Book of Rites."

You Yan stretched out his hand to pick it up and slowly flipped through it: "It's been a while since I saw you practicing calligraphy, but you have made progress. You haven't lost your mind after writing so much. It can be seen that you wrote it with a sinking heart." He flipped through the pages one by one. Passed, and then handed it back to You Li, "But I don't remember that I asked you to copy."

"It's my own will. I just made my uncle unhappy, so I should do something." You Li bit his lower lip, "What happened yesterday was because I was too impulsive. I don't know much about Your Majesty, but I tried to interfere with you. In the matter of the two of you, you also said a lot of things that should not be said, uncle, you can punish me however you want, that is, can you forgive me?"

There was a slight smile on the corner of You Yan's mouth: "Then if I don't forgive, what are you going to do, go to your grandmother to complain like you did when you were a child?"

You Li hurriedly shook his head: "It's my fault, why would I go to sue?" After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, and corrected, "When will I go to grandma to sue?"

You Yan laughed, and stretched out his hand to pat the vacant space on the soft edge: "Since you have already punished yourself, I, as an uncle, must not be too small." Seeing that You Li was still in a daze, You Yan stretched out his hand He sat down next to him, "What's more, our young master You is going to be the son-in-law soon. I, who is at home, should try to please the son-in-law more."

You Li carefully looked at You Yan's expression, and after confirming that he really didn't care about the previous day's events, he was relieved, sat down on the soft bed, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Changle Palace.

As the sleeping palace of the emperors of the Southern Wei Dynasty, Changle Palace has always been the center of the entire imperial city and even the entire capital. Until Emperor Longhe succeeded to the throne, it lost its former luxury and gradually fell silent, becoming extraordinarily cold.

Lin Ce Xijing, after moving into Changle Palace, nearly half of the palace people were sent away. All matters in the palace were handled by the chief manager, Gao Yong. One person waits by his side, and others are not allowed to enter.

Today is no exception.

The silence in the main hall is daunting, only the occasional sound of flipping through the memorial.Gao Yong approached with light steps, and put a bowl of ginseng tea on Lin Ce's case: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to rest."

Lin Ce raised his eyelids and diverted his attention to him: "Don't bother me, I have my own..."

Gao Yong bravely interrupted him: "The last time General You entered the palace, he saw His Majesty's complexion was not good, but he specifically told his servants to take good care of His Majesty. If His Majesty still stays up all night, he..."

"Ziqing is a man I know best, he will not blame you, what are you afraid of?"

Gao Yong whispered: "General You said that if you let him know that His Majesty still refuses to take a good rest, he will never enter the palace again, so as not to disturb His Majesty's daily affairs."

Lin Ce's hands trembled, and he looked up at Gao Yong: "You threaten me for him?"

Gao Yong hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, how dare a servant, it's just that this is really the original words, you still don't know General You..."

Lin Ce stared at Gao Yong for a while, closed the memorial in his hand, and reached out to take the bowl of ginseng tea: "Is it clear what I want you to send someone to investigate?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, that calligraphy was written by Mr. Li Buli. It is said that the young master of Lin Shilang's family spent a lot of effort to obtain this calligraphy, and even paid a lot of money to polish the pen." Gao Yong replied. .

Lin Ce raised his eyebrows: "It's Li Bu again? Doesn't our Li Shangshu have too much presence recently? So, this layman in the cloud is also his name?"

"Return to Your Majesty, yes." Gao Yong replied, "And it is said that this layman in Yunzhong is very famous in the capital. If you want to ask for his calligraphy, it is not enough to ask for a high price, it also depends on his mood."

"The words that Lin Xing worked so hard to sell so easily?" Lin Ce smiled, "Besides, I really don't see what are the advantages of the words that day. There is no other reason, could it be that these literati in the capital are all blind?"

Lin Ce drank all the ginseng tea in his hand, and handed the empty bowl to Gao Yong, "Go and check again, no one has asked for words from Li Bu."

Gao Yong immediately understood: "Yes, I will order someone to investigate immediately."

Lin Ce got up and washed his face under Gao Yong's service: "I have been on the throne for four years, and I thought everything was peaceful, and I finally settled down. It seems that it is just the beginning. It will take a long time to show my flaws. It is time to take a look." The true colors of these people."
