Chapter 84 Power

The death of the hunchbacked old man and the foolish girl made Empress Dowager You frightened, afraid and regretful. She muttered, "I harmed them, I harmed them." A few days later, she suddenly developed a serious illness and was bedridden from now on, and it seemed that she had not had enough time.

An Xiuyuan was so happy that he no longer went to Xianyang Palace to pay tribute, but what made him unhappy was that because of this incident, Xu You actually asked him to be confined.

Who can tolerate it, who can’t stand it!

I am the emperor, you are a minister, the emperor is rich in the world, I can go wherever I want, how dare you ban my feet?

An Xiuyuan was not convinced and rode a donkey out of the palace early in the morning. As soon as he arrived at the Grand Sima Gate, he met Xu You. He stood at the door alone and said lightly: "Where is Your Majesty going?"

"I...I'm fine, ride a donkey and get some air flow, and then go back!"

After An Xiuyuan became the emperor, he became much more courageous, but when facing Xu You, he still didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Somehow he became timid and retreated obediently, and then scolded him all day long.

When the night came, he was thinking that Xu You had left the Secretariat, so he hurriedly called Sun and Zhu to leave the palace again, but this time it was even worse than last time. Before he could reach Sima's Gate, he was blocked by Xu You back.

He can only be obedient for the time being!

After three days of stability, An Xiuyuan almost died of suffocation in the palace. Sun Chaozhi offered his advice: "When Qingming is approaching, it is better to be graceful to Your Majesty. Only allow Taiwei Xu to return to Yixing to worship his ancestors early, so as not to be hasty..."

An Xiuyuan's eyes lit up and he said, "A clever plan!"

So he summoned the Secretariat to draft an edict, claiming that filial piety should be the first, and that Xu You would give him ten days off and allow him to return home to worship his ancestors immediately. No minister could disobey this kind of filial piety. After receiving the edict, Xu You told Xie Xiwen to be optimistic about the emperor and not let him leave the palace. Xie Xiwen agreed.

As soon as Xu You left, An Xiuyuan was about to leave the palace. Xie Xiwen also learned from Xu You to block the door, but An Xiuyuan did not take his tricks. He pointed at Xie Xiwen with a whip and said with a squint: "The emperor is the great official, or the minister is the great official?"

Xie Xiwen said calmly: "Where is a lord who is not an official? The king and the emperor decide the virtues and order the ministers to perform their duties, and then the world will be ruled. In a country with great governance, the king is like a throne, the minister is like a drum, the minister has his own efforts, and the king has his own merits."

An Xiuyuan was speechless by his refutation and said angrily: "Even you want to disobey me?"

Xie Xiwen refused to give in and said, "The king and the ministers follow him are called obedience; the king and the ministers follow him are called rebellious! The ministers serve Your Majesty with loyalty, what is it about disobedience?"

"You! So brave!"

An Xiuyuan was furious and said, "Xie Xiwen, you are a poor man, fortunately you become the prime minister. How dare you assassinate the king in the face? Is it impossible for you to punish you if you bully me?"

"If there is a way in the world, you will see it; if there is no way, you will hide it. If Your Majesty hates me, I will resign!"

"With you, the world will be in vain?"

An Xiuyuan said angrily: "I invite you to favor the late emperor and get power in Taizhou Province. I have tolerated you for a long time! The person who came, took off his court ward, left his crown, and threw it into the pool to sober up..."

Sun Chaozhi sneered, "Shangshu Ling, I've offended!" After waved his hand, several guards rushed forward, grabbed Xie Xiwen's arm, took off their crowns and hats, and were about to take off their clothes. Liu Ning, Yu Ting, Tao Jiang and others rushed over, and Liu Ning held the robe in one hand, and was still stronger. He took the lead and shouted loudly: "Stop it!"

The Central Secretariat Ling and the Secretary Ling are the same, but Liu Ning and Xie Xiwen are different. In addition to the Central Secret Ling, he also represents the Liu family. Xie Xiwen's power comes entirely from the emperor. The emperor favors him and is the prime minister. If the emperor neglects him, he is not as good as the one.

But in addition to leaving the imperial power, Liu Ning also had the support of the clans behind him, which was even enough to compete with the imperial power. These guards favored by An Xiuyuan did not take Xie Xiwen seriously, but they did not have the courage to offend Liu Ning. When they heard the scolding sound like thunder, they quickly stopped, lowered their heads and retreated to the side with uneasy.

Seeing that the situation was not good, An Xiuyuan hurriedly led Sun, Zhu and the others to cross the palace gate with their guards, running wildly, laughing, and disappearing behind the lush forests.

"Brother Xuanhui, is it okay? Where is it hurt?"

Tao Jiang helped Xie Xiwen up and checked with concern for any injuries. Seeing that he was just dressed and was not seriously injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look around, and couldn't help but feel sad and said, "This... Liu Zhongshu, Yu Shizhong, what's going on!"

Liu Ning had a gloomy face and did not make any sound.

Yu Ting sighed: "The master is young and has a slightly off-the-sex personality. He likes movement but not quiet. As long as we are good at assisting us and correcting our gains and losses, we will definitely be able to correct our mistakes in the future... Xuanhui, as ministers, we are actually nothing to suffer from grievances..."

Isn’t your feelings wronged?

Tao Jiang was stammering her neck and still wanted to argue. Xie Xiwen grabbed his sleeve and said lightly: "The Shizhong said it well, thunder and rain, is it your kindness? I dare not have any resentment. But if the Lord goes out like this, I may cause trouble again. The Lord will listen to the words of the Shizhong. Please take care of the Shizhong and I will not worry about the Shuling..."

Yu Shi did not refuse, took a few followers and took a car to chase him. Liu Ning accompanied Xie Xiwen and Tao Jiang back to Taiwan Province. On the way, he suddenly said: "I still have to ask the Taiwei to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation..."

Xie Xiwen glanced at Liu Ning and nodded, "I agree."

Tao Jiang has never liked Xu You, but in the current situation, only Xu You can stabilize all aspects. Otherwise, if the emperor does this a few more times, the prestige of the prime ministers will be ruined, how can he command all the officials?

"I agree, so I'll just go to Yixing and invite the Taiwei to return to Beijing."

Liu Ning said: "That's the best, I'll ask Pushe to work hard."

"Okay, I'll set off right away."

While Beijing was in chaos, Xu You was traveling around in Yixing. He took Zhang Xuanji alone and walked back to the places he often went to. The two of them held hands, side by side, crossed mountains and hills, and when they were thirsty, they drank some mountain springs, or went to the mountain house to borrow some water to drink. When they were hungry, they picked wild fruits and played wild game. Xu You showed his skills in the wild barbecue that he had learned in later generations. However, without chili and cumin, the taste could only be said to be real, and it was not very delicious.

Leaving the mountainous area and returning to the city, Xu You took her to visit her once familiar neighbors, "This is Yu Sanlang. His father Yu Bo fishing is the most powerful in the township. He has watched me grow up since he was young. Later, when he was in trouble, I and the autumnal equinox and I were unable to fill our stomachs. They all rely on Yu Bo to secretly send us a few fish. But unexpectedly, he was seriously injured by the evil slaves of the Prince's Mansion and died in a few years..."

Yu Sanlang is now a middle-aged man in his forties. He cried and said, "When his father passed away, he still remembered the Taiwei, saying that Yixing was the Taiwei's home..."

Xu You sighed, "It's me, Xu, who is sorry for everyone. I have caused the villagers to suffer. If you encounter difficulties in the future, I will send someone to Jinling to inform me, or write me a letter directly. Also, don't call me Taiwei, it seems absurd, call me Qilang."

"Taiwei... Yes, Qilang, we didn't suffer much. In recent years, the weather was good and the country was prosperous and the people were safe. You also distributed the Xu family's land to me dozens of acres. Last year to this year, I planted Chameng rice, which was ripe a year, and I ate and dressed warmly, and I could still do business and earn money. I lived a much better life."

Xu You patted Yu Sanlang on the shoulder and said, "It will get better and better in the future..."

Then she went to see the villagers who had helped him and the autumnal equinox. Zhang Xuanji, who was born as a fairy in Zhang, made everyone feel awe, but she sat on a clean stool without any mind, holding their hands and chatting, which won the hearts of people for Xu You.

Although he doesn't need it, it is always the most wonderful romance for husband and wife to follow him!
