Time has come to the fifth month of summer. In the Tang Dynasty, this season was still considered May, but in modern times, it is actually already mid-June.

The weather was quite hot, so people all changed into single clothes, which was very refreshing.

Mosquitoes and flies have also appeared on the street. Eunuch Xu's whisk, swung left and right, has become a tool to drive away flies.

"Hey, Mr. Shen, have you heard? The eldest grandson of the guilty minister has already set off for Aizhou."

"real?"

"So fast!" Shen An looked surprised, but in fact he was very proud.

"Of course. He was able to come back this time only because of Queen Wende. His Majesty missed the Queen day and night and always wanted to be kind to her family, so he brought him back from Aizhou."

"Actually, His Majesty hates him very much and doesn't want to see him at all. This time, he is just using his tactics."

"Hey, how could things end up like this?" Shen An said with a heavy heart.

It seems that he sympathizes with his eldest grandson and has a kind heart.

"The eldest grandson is so old. He will not be able to bear it when he arrives in Aizhou."

"It doesn't matter whether he can tolerate it or not, in short, it will not be easy." Although Eunuch Xu is the eunuch in front of the emperor, he can be regarded as the most powerful palace official in the inner palace.

If he hadn't cared about Li Shimin's food and daily life safety, he wouldn't have gone out of the palace to supervise the fetching of water.

But no matter how big the eunuch is, he is still a eunuch in essence.

Eunuch Xu originally had no grudge against his eldest grandson, but after hearing what happened to Liang Ying, the relationship between them was completely broken.

What?

Castrate?

This old evil boy, who is he scolding?

Eunuch Xu is already broad-minded if he doesn't step forward and step on me again.

He poured out everything in his heart to Shen An, and someone sighed.

As a human being, you should really be kinder.

Look, they are all like Changsun, who does things without thinking, and acts recklessly. He doesn't know when, he offends others unconsciously, and he doesn't even feel it at all.

Recalling Eunuch Xu's calm performance in the main hall that day, Shen An was filled with admiration.

He actually didn't take advantage of the situation, he was really kind-hearted.

"By the way, Mr. Xiao is here again this morning."

Shen An blinked, oh, it seems his investment has worked.

Since just now, he has tried his best to steer the topic towards the battle at the Manna Palace, and now it has finally come to fruition.

"Mian Sheng?"

"here we go again?"

"Didn't I just meet you just now?"

"Song Guogong is really diligent in government affairs."

"That's right. A while ago, Song Guogong didn't come to court. I don't know what happened recently, but he has been particularly diligent." Eunuch Xu did not hear the strangeness in Shen An's words.

Maybe he heard it and he didn't care. He just wanted to reveal the news to Shen An.

The imperial court always gave preferential treatment to ministers like Xiao Yu who were over sixty years old.

Unless there is something important, they will not be allowed to go to court every day, and it is obvious that there is nothing particularly important in the past two days, so there is no need for Mr. Xiao to mobilize his troops.

It seems that Song Guogong is also waiting for the opportunity!

"However, Song Guogong was like this in the past. He dared to offend Tian Yan and spoke out to give advice. His courage was no worse than that of Zheng Guogong."

Shen An nodded fiercely, he really believed this.

Although Zheng Guogong and Wei Zheng were famous for their admonitions, to be honest, he did not suffer too many setbacks in his official career.

Although the prince who accepted him as his master met with a bad end, he himself was able to roam freely in the storm and remain invincible.

I have to say, this is all fate!

But what about Xiao Yu?

Don't forget, he is from the Nanliang royal family, and he has a arrogant index. In addition, his sister is the empress of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

Forget about living in Sui Dynasty, it was so smooth.

It can be said that he has never suffered any hardships since he was born, except those he brought upon himself.

When he was young, Xiao Yu was obsessed with Taoism. In order to refine elixirs and practice Taoism, and reach the highest state of life, he even gave up his official career, retired to the mountains and forests, and even practiced the art of Bigu, which almost starved himself to death.

At that time, he was a sword-wielding young man who pursued transcendence beyond the three realms.

And now, he has transformed into the strongest warrior in the court.

Compared with Wei Zheng, who was still able to walk on the tightrope with ease, Xiao Yu's career was like the turbulent tide, rising and falling at times, but he always maintained strong combat effectiveness.

In the position of prime minister, he has experienced ups and downs, but he still has not changed his nature.

As long as he appeared in the court, he had the mentality of fighting to the death with Li Shimin. He was never afraid of offending the emperor.

The key is that Wei Zheng is trusted by Li Shimin, but what about Xiao Yu?

He and Li Shimin are incompatible with each other, and they can't fight each other to the death, so he can still rise from the street repeatedly.

It can be seen that the fate is strong.

Such a tough person was actually targeting him. Shen An was alert and alert.

"Go to West Market and find Boss Zhang."

"Go quickly!"

"Do you know what to say?" Shen An hurriedly approached Ah Qian, who patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll take care of it."

Ah Qian took the horse and galloped towards the West Market.

…………

On the other side, after retreating from the court, Xiao Yu secretly stayed and did not go to the corridor to eat with other officials.

Li Shimin originally wanted to come to the cafeteria in person and have breakfast with the ministers, but he was stopped by Mr. Xiao.

He kept saying that he had something important to report, but he didn't know what it was. He had to wait until the courtiers had dispersed before he spoke.

Li Shimin did not get angry and accepted his request with a smile.

It was the beginning of the morning, and on the long table in front of Li Shimin's table were several plates of side dishes and two bowls of gruel.

"Song Guogong, come, sit down and eat together."

As he gets older, Li Shimin also has some experience. This person becomes less resistant to hunger as he gets older.

In the past, when he was fighting in all directions, he could sometimes march for a day or two without eating or drinking, but now, he really couldn't do it anymore.

If you don't eat a meal, you will feel uncomfortable all over.

Xiao Yu is already over sixty years old. You can imagine how hungry he must be at this hour.

Mr. Xiao was not polite and simply sat down. Looking at the slightly thin soup, Xiao Yu felt a little worried.

If you drink this porridge, you won't feel full and may cause frequent urination.

"Why, Lord Song, this porridge doesn't taste good?"

While Xiao Yu was still in a daze, Li Shimin had already finished a bowl. Shimin smiled and said, "You should be very familiar with this porridge!"

"What kind of porridge is this?"

"Fairy Porridge."

"I heard that it is Taoist food and has good health effects."

"Is this the fairy porridge?"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but suspect that when he was young, he had become a fake Taoist priest.

I've never seen anything like this before.

"I heard that when Song Guogong was young, he once went to the mountains to practice Taoism. I thought you had eaten it."

"I really haven't eaten it before."

Of course he has never eaten it. Mr. Xiao has a characteristic. Whatever he is interested in, he must implement it to the end.
