Both Yan Shu and Su Jin understood that Yan Biyun was crying with joy. From the age of sixteen to now, the identity of a widow of the Pang family has always been imprinted on his body in the past six years. He cannot throw it away or escape, just like a
Dark clouds always shrouded her heart, and her young years gradually passed away under the burden of this shackles.
Yan Shu's eyes were also wet. Although he loved Yan Biyun the most, he seemed so powerless in this matter. It was not that he did not want to contribute, but that many factors hindered his steps, making him unable to relieve Yan Biyun at all costs.
shackles.
This cannot be blamed on Yan Shu. As far as the Duke is concerned, he is an important minister of the imperial court. Except for the position of prime minister, he has held almost all other important positions in the imperial court. This shows Yan Shu's status in the eyes of the royal family; the more he is regarded as
The more important Yan Shu was, the more he had to be cautious in his words and deeds. This matter of etiquette and justice was not trivial at all. Once the power broke out, Yan Shu's reputation would be ruined by this matter.
Personally speaking, it is impossible for Yan Shu to come to the whole house and ignore nearly a hundred people just for Yan Biyun. They are like vines wrapped around Yan Shu, the giant tree in the sky. Only with Yan Shu can they survive.
If you go down, Yan Shu cannot fall.
But now, when Su Jin finally removes the heavy shackles on Yan Biyun's head, Yan Shu is also extremely grateful to Su Jin from the bottom of his heart; although Su Jin and Yan Biyun are in love, only now
Try your best to get out
However, this is for the sake of Yan Biyun after all, and although Su Jin comes from a humble family, as far as this person is concerned, he is definitely worthy of Biyun. On the contrary, Yan Biyun seems not worthy of Su Jin because he is older.
"Miss Yan, you should be happy, don't cry." Su Jin sighed. He could see that Yan Biyun was very excited at the moment, so he stood up and patted Yan Biyun's shoulder without hesitation, comforting her softly.
Yan Biyun burst into tears. Yingying prostrated herself in front of Su Jin and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Su, for saving the slave family. How can the slave family...how can we repay you?"
Su Jin thought to himself: "I promised you this." But he said with a smile: "Why are you talking about this? How can I feel at ease if I don't do what I promised? Master Yan and Pang Ji need to deal with each other at night, just in case Pang Ji doesn't know what to do.
, and it’s quite tricky.”
Yan Shu said: "What's the matter? How dare he deny the emperor's face?"
Su Jin said: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If this guy refuses to live or die, the emperor will not use this matter to punish him."
Yan Shu said angrily: "He dares. If he really doesn't know how to praise me at night, I will risk my life with him."
Su Jin hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, I think it's better not to force yourself. I will help you with an idea. You have to give him something sweet to taste. The emperor's face plus your promise, this
The weight is enough to make him excited; the key is whether the sweetness you offer can make him unable to refuse."
Yan Shu thought for a while and said, "That makes sense. Pang Ji has been stationed in the northwest all year round. What he desires most is to be transferred back to the capital. How about I help him transfer back to the capital to take up a post?"
Su Jin clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I want to give him what he wants most. One side of the scale is the emperor's face and what he wants most, and the other side is just a marriage contract. If he is not a fool, he will definitely agree."
Yan Shu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "You kid, I'm afraid you are trying to figure out people's hearts all the time. This idea shouldn't be a temporary idea."
Su Jin smiled but did not answer, thinking: Am I going to tell you that in the distant future there was a country called the United States, and there was a guy in the United States named Carnegie, and I happened to have read his masterpiece "The Weakness of Human Nature"?
It will teach you countless ways that others cannot refuse, and weighing the interests is naturally the simplest way.
Is the reason why Pang Ji refused to terminate the engagement really because he and Yan Shu were political enemies? In fact, the weight you gave him was not enough, so he took this matter to disgust Yan Shu. When the weight made him feel satisfied,
These problems do not exist at all; as the same saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
"Su Jin, you can tell me now what you and the emperor said, and why did the emperor agree to do this for you?"
Su Jindao: "He promised me before, how could he go back on his word? Of course he is going to help me get this done."
Yan Shu said displeasedly: "Did you let me fool you? When you proposed the condition, you just mentioned it vaguely. It's a good thing! Who is it? What identity you have? You didn't say it. The emperor's agreement was just smooth.
Of course, if it is an ordinary beautiful thing, the emperor will naturally be happy. But this matter is between my Yan family and the Pang family, and everyone in the civil and military circles of the court knows it. There have been several times when I and Pang Ji came to the emperor, but the emperor did not say anything.
One word will make Pang Ji break off the engagement; do you really have more dignity than me?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe the emperor just wants to give me face and not you."
Yan Shu said with a straight face: "You said you didn't want to tell me? The emperor is shouting and killing you to deal with you. What is the reason for this?"
There were still tears on Yan Biyun's face, and she said in shock: "The emperor shouted to you to kill you? Why did you make the emperor angry?"
Su Jin smiled bitterly and said: "How dare I make the emperor angry? In fact, it's like this..."
Of course, Su Jin couldn't tell Yan Shu the real reason in front of Yan Shu, as that would frighten Yan Shu to death, so he could only make up a temporary lie to get over it.
"Actually, it's like this... Today in the Wende Hall, I was dissatisfied with the reward given to me by the emperor, and I made a few complaints. The emperor was indeed a little unhappy, and then I mentioned Miss Yan's engagement to him. Unexpectedly,
The emperor actually refused..."
Yan Shu nodded and said, "It's just as I expected. How could the emperor come forward for such a thing?"
"How can the emperor lie with his golden words? I said a few words that he didn't like to hear, which made the emperor angry, so he wanted to chop off my head. I was afraid, so I surrendered to the emperor and begged for mercy, but the emperor didn't really intend to kill me.
So he let me out and agreed to Biyun's affairs."
Yan Shu frowned and said, "That's all?"
Su Jin nodded and said, "Ah, that's all!"
Yan Shu spat: "You lie to your face. Firstly, the emperor never gets angry easily. How can you make him angry with just a few unpleasant words? If he gets angry over such trivial things, is he still an emperor praised by all people? Secondly,
Once the emperor is angry, you can't calm him down by asking for mercy. Even if he doesn't kill you, he will punish you severely, and in the end he will send you out chatting and laughing. This is simply impossible."
Su Jinwu said stiffly: "Maybe the emperor is in a good mood today...!"
Yan Shu finally got angry and shouted: "It's okay if you don't say anything, I don't care to hear it, someone is here! See you off!"
Su Jin hurriedly said: "Calm down your anger, my lord! In fact, the Emperor has told me not to talk about this matter, otherwise I would not dare to hide it from you."
Yan Shu asked curiously: "The emperor didn't let you say it?"
Su Jindao: "Exactly, but I have figured it out. The only person in the civil and military dynasty who really shows sincerity to me is you, Mr. Yan. Even if the emperor forbids me to tell, I dare not hide anything from you."
Yan Shu quickly waved his hand and said, "Goodbye. Since the emperor won't let you talk, you shouldn't tell me anymore. The emperor's words are imperial decrees. If you spread them, you are resisting the decree and it will be detrimental to you."
Su Jin was moved and said: "The boss is still thinking about me, but this matter is not a big deal. I still need to rely on you to help me complete this matter."
Yan Shu asked: "What's the matter?"
"This is what the Emperor has told me. Just don't tell anyone else about it, so as not to be kept in the dark and I can't always be honest with you. I also feel guilty."
Yan Shu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you hide too much? Since I let you go on business in Beijing, every letter you send me has been in general terms. I only know the result but not the process. Just like that time, the courtiers reported to Su in court.
I knew nothing about Jin Jiao's imperial edict and almost got into trouble, but now I'm talking about it in a nice way.
"Is it really okay to tell me?"
"It's okay. It's okay for others. It's okay for others, but it's absolutely okay for you."
"Then just tell me. I'm very tight-lipped and won't miss a word."
Su Jin secretly despised him. The old guy also liked to inquire about right and wrong. He said it was okay and he listened with peace of mind. It seemed that politicians were like this. It had become a habit to spy on people's affairs, let alone matters related to the emperor.
Su Jin was about to speak, but Yan Biyun stood up first and said softly: "Master Su and his uncle are chatting here. I want to avoid it for a while, but also want to go to the kitchen to prepare some side dishes. Master Su will naturally have dinner here at noon."
Su Jin originally wanted Yan Biyun to sit and listen, but when he thought about it, since he had already said it was a secret, how could he let Yan Biyun listen here? It couldn't be said that Miss Yan would be fine if she heard it, so it would be strange for Yan Shu not to doubt it.
So he returned the gift with his hand and watched Yan Biyun leave.
The curtain was lowered, and there was silence in the study. Yan Shu stretched his neck and asked in a low voice, "What on earth is going on?" dd
