The little servant stopped at the gate of the courtyard, bowed slightly and gave way, Ji Tianguan seemed to come and go often, his footsteps did not stop, and he entered the upper room with warm lights. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the upper room, Chu Huaixian, the head of the household, was dressed in old homely clothes, without a belt, stood up to greet the door, and personally opened the curtain for Ji Tianguan.

Ji Tianguan came in in with a cold air, went to the cloak, looked at a few small dishes on the kang, a pot of good wine, rubbed his hands and smiled: "This is the old daughter of the jar?" I'm going to have a few more drinks. ”

Chu Huaixian let Ji Tianguan sit on the kang, took a cup from the warm water, filled him with wine, and the two drank two glasses, Ji Tianguan opened his mouth first to cut to the chase, "You know about the promotion of the deputy prime minister?" What's not going to be? ”

"This deputy prime minister, I'm afraid that no one can cross the prince, the prince wants to push, I'm afraid it's the senior envoy, he can be regarded as the one who is expected and can afford it."

"I'm going to nominate you." Ji Tianguan took a sip of wine and said indifferently.

"Me?" Chu Shangshu was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "We have been friends for decades, I don't put on false politeness, if you want to say that you will enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister and be the head of a hundred officials, who doesn't want to?" Studying and becoming an official, this is the ultimate, but think about it, how many people can really enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister? I don't dare to think about it, but. ”

Chu Shangshu changed his words, "Brother Ji is very likely, among the six departments, although the Ministry of Rites is the prime minister, but the Ministry of Officials is the most important, the one who enters the cabinet to worship the prime minister has always been the most suitable for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, but the Ministry of Rites Xie Shangshu is too old, a few years older than Lu Xiang, and he himself has long since rested the heart of entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister, this trip is a point of examination, even if it is successful, Brother Ji is the only son of Prime Minister Ji, he is in the prime of life, and he is from the top of the family, if it is a fair recommendation, Brother Ji will not let it go." ”

"Brother Chu is straightforward, I also opened the window to say bright words, if Brother Chu enters the cabinet, you are in the middle book, I am in charge of the ministry, this is the trend of the half dynasty, if I enter the middle book and lose the ministry, it will be more than worth the loss, so I came to discuss with Brother Chu, you and I join forces to push Brother Chu into the cabinet, there is great hope."

Ji Tianguan moved and approached Chu Shangshu, "The prince's recommendation, there is indeed a trend of wind and thunder, but the prince is now in a big position, the high envoy and Zhou Shumi, even if the high envoy can see it clearly and be more cautious, but what about Zhou Shumi?" Look at him, this Jing Guogong is proud, he probably thinks that if he establishes the prince, he will be successful, and he can put Nanshan and sit back and relax, this opportunity to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, can he not be careful? Even if he doesn't care, you have to lure him to get up. ”

Chu Shangshu frowned slightly, sipped the wine and did not speak.

"Ning Niangniang, promote Yang Niangniang, select noble girls to enrich the harem, these few moves are really good, the Ning family is indeed talented, but the biggest disadvantage of the Ning family is that there is no support in the capital, at this time, even if Ning Niangniang and Ning Yuan want to compete for the position of deputy prime minister, who can they launch?"

"What do you mean by Lu Xiang?" Chu Shangshu asked cautiously.

"Lu Xiang respects my father the most, you know this best." Ji Tianguan looked at Chu Shangshu, Chu Shangshu nodded, Prime Minister Ji once said that the most important person for his knowledge is Lu Zhi'an.

"I thought that he supported Ning Niangniang to return to the palace, at least more than half of it was out of public interest, and he didn't have any inclination." Ji Tianguan turned the cup in his hand and spoke cautiously.

"My father once said that Lu Xiangsi was as far-reaching as he was. Lu Xiang is old, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to wait for the new emperor, his sons are all mediocre, only his grandson Lu Yan is very good, there is no hundred-year-old son of heaven in the world, and the emperor is not young, the replacement of the old and the new, that is, about ten years, Lu Xiang is only afraid that he will not last ten years, but ten years later, Lu Yan is only thirty years old, how far can he go? The thirty-year-old Sanpin is already shocking to the world. ”

Chu Shangshu nodded and sighed softly, it is easy to be rich and noble for a generation, and it is really difficult for this wealth to be passed on.

"In such a situation as the Lu family, he really didn't want to get involved in this replacement of the old and the new, he first tried to promote Ning Niangniang back to the palace, and then proposed to promote the deputy prime minister, and then handed over the major matter of the fifth master's enlightenment to the Hanlin Academy, but he did not specify which Hanlin people."

After a pause, Ji Tianguan smiled and said slowly: "Look at it, Lu Yan must take the Ji Shi exam and be on duty in the Hanlin Academy, and then Lu Yan will definitely bear the most for the matter of teaching the fifth master." ”

"What a thought!" Chu Shangshu couldn't help but admire, "It's this time to promote the deputy minister, I'm afraid that I also have to share the responsibility, the three ministers, Lu Xiang can be in the middle, Lu Xiang's sons have low official positions, Lu Yan has entered the Hanlin Academy, and the Lu family can be in this major event, on the surface, it seems that the three sides are not touched, if the fifth master is lucky, Lu Yan can not only occupy the title of the emperor, with the Lu family style, in the past few years, Lu Yan will definitely be able to communicate with the fifth master, and feel that the fifth master trusts." It's really offensive and defensible. ”

"Therefore, Lu Xiang must be in the middle, neither supporting anyone nor blocking anyone, this one, don't mention it." Ji Tianguan gently put the cup on the table, "Let's talk about Mo Xiang, Mo Xiang's second son can be your household servant, if you enter the Chinese book, it is logical to promote Mo Shilang to Shangshu, it is natural, of course, just rush this article, how can Mo Xiang prevent you from entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister?" ”

Chu Shangshu's eyebrows trembled, it is true, he is not much older than Mo Shilang, if Mo Shilang wants to survive his begging bones, it will be early!

"The prince's own family is fighting and cannibalizing, Mo Xiang and Lu Xiang are at least sitting and watching, you and I join forces to push Brother Chu into the cabinet, not to mention the effort, it is also promising." After Ji Tianguan finished analyzing, he twisted his beard and smiled slightly,

Chu Shangshu hesitated again.

Ji Tianguan understood what he meant. "Brother Chu doesn't have to think about it, what Brother Chu wants to do is to only have the king's pure minister in his heart, I know this, I don't mean anything else, it's just that this position, first, Brother Chu is the most suitable, and second, Brother Chu has entered the cabinet, at least it's not a person who is dedicated to the prince of Jin and me, that's fine."

"Brother Ji, have you really made up your mind?" Chu Shangshu looked at Ji Tianguan with some concern.

Ji Tianguan didn't directly answer Chu Shangshu's words, "Brother Chu, from the public side, although King Jin is a little inferior in talent and a little hesitant in case of trouble, he is gentle and compassionate by nature, and he knows that he is not talented, and he can listen to good words very well. As for the fifth master, he is only seven or eight years old, his temperament is undecided, the Ning family has always been extremely murderous, he has half of the Ning family's blood, and he has almost completely grown up in the hands of the Ning family, what the future holds, who knows? ”

After a while, Chu Shangshu nodded lightly and sighed, if the Shouye Emperor is heavy on killing, it is definitely not a good thing for the courtiers and the people of the world.
