"How have you been living in the border town these past few years?"
"It was windy and cold in the border town. When I first arrived there, I wasn't really used to it. After staying there for a long time, I gradually got used to it. The whole family stayed together and lived a peaceful and happy life. The atmosphere in the border town was open and women could do whatever they wanted. I go out to do things. I am like a fish in water in the border town. Now even if I are asked to go back to the capital, I don’t want to come back."
In the warm afternoon, Eunuch Yang was being helped to sit on the bed, with a thick and soft pillow behind him, chatting with Feng Shaojun.
After hearing these words, Eunuch Yang smiled: "With your ability, you can live well wherever you go."
Feng Shaojun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I accept your foster father's compliments without any courtesy."
There are some things that don't need to be said clearly, both of them know it.
Shen You went to the border army to guard the border. Naturally, she and her two children had to stay in the border town. It would be best if they could adapt to the life in the border town and enjoy it.
Eunuch Yang said slowly: "There's something you don't know yet! After Prince Fu was exiled to Lingnan, he fell seriously ill and returned to Beijing with a letter of mourning a month ago."
Before Feng Shaojun left the palace, Emperor Qing'an ordered Eunuch Yang to ask her if she had any unfulfilled wishes. She left a message that she would see the downfall of Prince Fu within five years.
Emperor Qing'an agreed and did it.
Just last year, the fifth year after the couple left Beijing, Prince Fu was accused of plotting rebellion. Emperor Qing'an was furious and ordered the Jin Yiwei to conduct a thorough investigation of Prince Fu's palace and various properties under his name. As a result, he was found in a village. Thousands of armors and weapons were found, as well as hundreds of dead soldiers.
It is not uncommon to secretly raise private soldiers. If he is caught, it can only be said that Prince Fu is unlucky.
Emperor Qing'an took away Prince Fu's title, demoted him to a commoner, and exiled everyone in Prince Fu's palace to Lingnan.
Lingnan is located at the southernmost tip of Daqi. There are many mountains and trees there, and there are many snakes, rats, insects and ants. The weather is hot and humid, and there is miasma. Prince Fu was hit hard by this when he was old. He fell ill when he arrived in Lingnan and died a month ago. to Lingnan.
When Feng Shaojun heard about this, he was not surprised and said calmly: "Does my adoptive father want to persuade me to take the initiative to see the emperor and express my gratitude to him?"
Eunuch Yang: "..."
Eunuch Yang, who had discovered his intentions, did not feel embarrassed. He was silent for a moment and whispered: "San'er, our family knows that you and your wife have been wronged."
"It's been six years, haven't you calmed down yet? It's fine if you don't come back. If you go back to the capital and enter the palace, but you don't take the initiative to see him, where do you want the emperor's face to go?"
"In the past few years, the emperor has not mentioned it in his mouth, but he has been thinking about you in his heart. Every time you write a letter, the emperor has to ask a question."
"Also, everything goes smoothly for Shen You in the frontier army. His military pay is never in arrears, and no one dares to embezzle military honors. What's the reason for this?"
There are people in the court who like to be officials. Behind Shen You is a towering tree like the Emperor, and no one dares to be disrespectful or mean. Feng Shaojun certainly knows this.
"That's what the foster father said." Feng Shaojun looked at Eunuch Yang and said slowly: "A loyal minister and a good general are like a thousand-mile horse. Only with Bole in front can a BMW gallop a thousand miles."
"The emperor is not kind to me. He dealt with Prince Fu and gave me an explanation. I should be grateful. It is rare for me to return to Beijing this time, so I should take the initiative to see the emperor and relieve the emperor's heart."
Eunuch Yang sighed softly: "Look, don't you understand this?"
Feng Shaojun responded confidently: "Only villains and women are difficult to raise in the world. The truth is the truth, I just don't like it."
Eunuch Yang couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't know what to say for a while. After a while he sighed: "That's it. If you don't like it, just wait a few more days. After all, I'm back in the palace. I can't avoid it."
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door.
Feng Shaojun got up and opened the door.
The young chamberlain quickly walked into the room and said earnestly: "Eunuch Yang, the emperor has personally come to visit your father-in-law."
Feng Shaojun: "..."
After Eunuch Yang fell ill, he was allowed by the emperor to stay in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to recuperate. Emperor Qing'an would send someone to visit him every day, and after three to five days, he would come to visit him in person. Logically speaking, it was okay to come.
Not a strange thing.
However, Emperor Qing'an took the initiative to come to "visit the patient" today, apparently for another reason.
Eunuch Yang quickly glanced at Feng Shaojun, coughed and said, "San'er, our family can't stay here, so you can go and greet the emperor on our behalf."
The majestic emperor took the initiative to bow down and show Feng Shaojun his dignity.
Feng Shaojun cannot and should not avoid seeing him anymore.
Feng Shaojun nodded slightly in agreement, turned around and left the room.
Eunuch Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Emperor Qing'an seemed to be in a mood and came over casually. In addition to the prince, Eunuch Shao, there were only a few personal guards of the emperor accompanying him.
Feng Shaojun stood in front of Feng San'er's face and knelt down to salute when he stepped forward.
Before he could kneel down, Emperor Qing'an had already opened his mouth and said: "You have been out of the palace on my orders for a few years. You have meritorious service and hard work. There is no need to kneel down in front of me."
Feng Shaojun did not kneel down, but bowed his hands and said, "Feng San'er has met the emperor."
Emperor Qing'an glanced at the face that he had not seen for several years. He was filled with sighs in his heart, but his face didn't show anything. He said calmly: "I'm going to take a look at Yang Jinghe. You come with me."
Feng Shaojun responded respectfully and followed Emperor Qing'an naturally, just like he had done a few years ago.
Prince Wang and Eunuch Shao looked at each other and gave in in a tacit understanding.
As a chamberlain, your position reflects your status. Whoever is one step closer to the emperor will have a higher status. After Feng Saner left for several years, no one knew what Feng Saner was doing. However, look at the emperor
They should also be more sensible about this gentle and courteous appearance.
Emperor Qing'an walked unhurriedly, entered Eunuch Yang's house, and casually ordered Eunuch Shao: "It's enough to have Feng Saner here to serve you. You two should leave and stay outside the door. Don't let anyone disturb you."
Got me."
The prince, Eunuch Shao, respectfully accepted the order and stepped back a few meters away from the door, being careful not to let anyone get close.
There were only three people in the room, Emperor Qing'an and Eunuch Yang, Feng Shaojun.
Eunuch Yang was sitting on the bed, Emperor Qing'an was standing in front of the bed, and Feng Shaojun was on one side. No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere in the room was awkward and dull.
Eunuch Yang, who was sitting on the bed, opened his mouth to break the silence: "I am so sick that I cannot afford to stay here and kowtow. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qing'an said casually: "If you are so ill, why should you be polite? Just stay on the couch and take good care of yourself."
Eunuch Yang looked grateful: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has come to visit me again and again, and I am very grateful to you."
Emperor Qing'an wanted to see Feng Shaojun, and he was not pretending to care about Eunuch Yang. Hearing this, he sighed: "You have been by my side for forty years. Now that I am without you, I am empty. I hope that you will get better soon and that you can still be here in the future."
