Chapter 306: Concentric (5K, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Zhang Shaohong's face was cloudy, and he stood quietly in place for a while, and finally nodded: "That's good." Mother, I'll give it a try. However, if Your Majesty refuses, I can't do anything about it. ā€

I can't help the queen, but fold my own house into it.

In his opinion, Emperor Yuan Hong was most likely unwilling.

Xie Dongli is indeed talented, not blown out by others.

Whether it was the previous champion and the first, or the later against Xia Fan, the Jinyi Guardian of the Northern Qi Kingdom, or dealing with the water bandits in the south of the Yangtze River, he could have the upper hand.

If such a person is dismissed, the backbone of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom will collapse in half.

Old Madam Zhang laughed, her face was like a chrysanthemum, "As long as you are willing to mention it at the court." As for success or failure, it doesn't matter that much. ā€

"Why is that?" Zhang Shaohong asked puzzledly, I don't understand why do this kind of useless work if the result is not important?

Old Madam Zhang glanced at him sideways, and said angrily: "This was deliberately given eye medicine to that person, you can't see this?" The whole thing is to put a nail between those two people. Even if His Majesty disagrees, what we have to see is how Xie Dongli reacts. ā€

Because the chapter proposed at the court meeting, according to the procedure, it will not be decided until the five prime ministers of the Prime Minister's Pavilion and Emperor Yuan Hong have discussed it.

From the time the recital is proposed to the final decision, there are always 10 days of work.

And in the past ten days, it is the most important thing to see what Xie Dongli does.

Old Madam Zhang continued: "If Xie Dongli pretends to be deaf and dumb in the past ten days, he will wait for His Majesty to refuse. Then everyone can see that this person is a person who wants to be in power. Not to mention that His Majesty will be estranged from him, even the Lord of Ying. It will also put a thorn in the heart. It doesn't seem like much now, and after they get married, anything will make the two of them separate. ā€

is still under the guise of dividing Yingsleeve and Xie Dongli.

Zhang Shaohong suddenly, the pressure in his heart was lightened, and he said with a smile: "It's still my mother who thinks about it so much." But if Xie Dongli submits his resignation right away, what should we do? Your Majesty will definitely still dismiss it. ā€

"Hey, hey. What if he offers his resignation and His Majesty rejects it? Everybody is watching. This position should not have been for him to sit, but His Majesty forcibly kept it. Let him sit down, that is not right, even if he sits, it is not interesting. The position of the great prime minister in the future. It's definitely not going to be with him. Old Madam Zhang said confidently. Besides, even if we don't propose this recital, Your Majesty will not rest assured that the position of the Great Prime Minister will be handed over to Xie Donglian. Do you think, if King Jiajun ascends to the throne in the future, how can Xie Dongli, as the horse master with full sleeves, be the prime minister? If Xiao Lei is the emperor, then Xie Dongli will not be able to be a big prime minister. If it is really done, isn't it the princess's mansion that is sitting big? Think about it. Isn't that the truth? ā€

During the Great Zhou period of the previous dynasty, the emperor was young. It is not uncommon for the eldest princess to supervise the country. As a result, the princess and the concubine covered the sky with one hand, and there was even a generation of emperors, who were almost replaced by the princess with her own son......

"Sooner or later, someone will have to lift the lid. Prime Minister Shen Dacheng is selfish and refuses to lift the lid, so we are the only ones who do it for us. Old Madam Zhang smiled and took a sip of tea, "My idea is not entirely for the sake of the queen, but also for the sake of Your Majesty." Don't worry, if you propose this piece at tomorrow's court meeting, Your Majesty will definitely remember your merits! ā€

Zhang Shaohong was completely persuaded by Mrs. Zhang so far.

The two of them had already decided on this plan, but they didn't expect that the content of the conversation between Queen Qi Xueyun and Yuan Yinglan had been secretly leaked to Prime Minister Shen Dacheng.

When Prime Minister Shen Dacheng heard this, he also felt that it was very tricky.

His position was very awkward, and he couldn't take the initiative to speak for Xie Donglian.

And in his selfish heart, he also wanted to see how Xie Dongli reacted, so he didn't ventilate Xie Donglian, but personally went to Shen Yongjie's Loyal Lady Guo, called her and Yingshou over, and told them about this matter, so that they could be mentally prepared.

Shen Yongjie frowned tightly after hearing this.

Like Old Madam Zhang, she immediately thought of those reasons, and she actually felt as tricky as Prime Minister Shen Dacheng.

What can I do?

If this happened to Yuan Yinglan, she dared to guarantee that she and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng would make the same proposal to pull Xie Donglian, a capable minister, down.

If you don't use it, don't think about it.

But when it happened to Yingsleeve, Shen Yongjie and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng were a little at a loss.

Yingshou quietly listened to Shen Yongjie analyze the pros and cons of this matter to her, especially Xie Donglian's position, which determined that no matter what he did, he would be a loser.

Unless he decides not to marry Yingsleeve.

Yingsleeve's heart sank, remembering the Haikou boasted in front of Shen Yule a few days ago, and pulled the corners of her mouth with a wry smile.

In this way, she still underestimated the other party's ability and overestimated her own ability.

"Mother, let me think about it, don't worry about you and grandfather." Ying Sleeve kept a smile and persuaded the two elders not to be too anxious.

"What can you do?" Shen Yongjie shook her head, "It's better to ...... Think of a way to make Vice Prime Minister Zhang unable to attend the court meeting tomorrow......"

Yingsleeve raised her eyebrows, "Mother, I won't be able to go to the court meeting tomorrow, and there will be the next court meeting." In the end, before we got married in October, we kept making Vice Zhang sick, right? Even if he were sick, I'm sure someone else would do the same. ā€

Shen Yongjie and Shen Dacheng glanced at each other, knowing that Yingsleeve was telling the truth.

"It's okay, there's still ten days to go. I won't make a decision until the next pilgrimage, and I'll figure it out quickly. Ying Sleeve smiled and sent Prime Minister Shen out of the house.

In fact, as soon as Prime Minister Shen Dacheng left, Yingsleeve took a car to Xie's house to see Xie Dongli.

Yingsleeve has never been to Xie's house alone.

As soon as she came, the door of the Xie family's corner gate flew to the second gate to report the news.

Lu Ruilan, the eldest sister-in-law of the Xie family, and Ning Shumei, the second sister-in-law, personally came to the outer courtyard to pick her up.

Yingsleeve was very embarrassed to see these two greet each other with such a big gift. asked in a low voice, "Is Vice Minister Xie at home?" I'm in a hurry......"

"Understood, understood, we will not delay your time. This will take you to meet the fifth brother. Ning Shu covered his eyebrows and smiled lowly. and Lu Ruilan made a look, and the two sent him to Nanshan Xuan where Xie Dongli lived.

Xie Dongli heard that Yingsleeve was coming, and hurriedly rushed back to Nanshan Xuan from the construction site of the new house.

When he came in, Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei had already left.

Ying Sleeve sat alone on the armchair in the upper room of Nanshan Xuan, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and looked thoughtfully at a starry sky map hanging in the hall.

"Sleeve sleeve." Xie Dongli dusted off his robe and walked in.

Yingsleeve hurriedly put down the teacup. got up and smiled, "You're back." ā€

"Is there something wrong?" Xie Dongli walked in, "Follow me." He took her into the warm pavilion inside.

It is separated from the inner room by a carved floor cover, and separated from the outer room by a study. It's very private.

Yingsleeve's face was slightly flushed, but thinking of the idea he had just thought, he was busy calming down and followed in.

Xie Dongli sat indifferently on the rosewood three-sided hoarding leopard pattern arhat bed in the warm pavilion. He pointed to the opposite of her. "Sit down." He also ordered refreshments to be served.

At a glance, Yingsleeve saw that they were all crystal osmanthus cakes, rose poria cakes, and bird's nest glutinous rice cakes that he liked to eat, and his eyes were bent into two crescents with joy.

She ate three plates of small pastries in one go, rinsed her mouth with tea with great satisfaction, and said: "I didn't expect your cook here to be so good, this pastry is even more delicious than mine!" ā€

Xie Dongli smiled and said, "It's okay to eat these things once in a while." If you eat too much, your stomach will be upset, so you can take it easy. ā€

Yingsleeve hurriedly responded upright. It's very obedient.

The corners of Xie Donglian's lips pursed and asked, "You came here suddenly, but something happened?" ā€

Ying Sleeve remembered his intentions at this time, his face turned even redder, and he hurriedly said what Prime Minister Shen Dacheng had just said to her and her mother, and after speaking, he quietly glanced at Xie Dongli and said, "I have an idea about this matter, I don't know if you want to listen to me?" ā€

Xie Dongli smiled: "How old is it, it's worth running in a hurry?" - Isn't it just a vice-chancellor? I can't do it if I don't do it! ā€

I didn't hesitate to decide to resign.

"Huh?" Yingsleeve's eyes widened, he waved his hand hurriedly, and said repeatedly: "This is not good!" That's not going to work! You have to be the vice-chancellor! Dongyuan can't do it without you! ā€

"Think so highly of me?" Xie Dongli tilted his head and glanced at her, his narrow eyes were full of water, and he saw that Ying's sleeves were almost drowned in them......

She settled down, and then remembered what she was going to say, hurriedly turned her head away, looked at the other side, and said, "You, the deputy minister, must not resign." I, the county lord, can do it or not, and it is completely irrelevant. Therefore, I plan to learn from the second prince of Zheng and ask myself to be demoted to a commoner, so that they can't embarrass you. ā€

Xie Dongli listened, although he was inexplicably moved in his heart, he still felt that Yingsleeve was underestimating him too much, did she need to make such a big sacrifice in this matter?

"Sleeve sleeve, listen to me, my position as a deputy minister is not as important to me as you at all. I can quit it right away. ā€

Yingsleeve shook his head resolutely, "No! You must listen to me this time! I'm going to do this......" he said, saying what he thought.

No matter how Xie Dongli persuaded him, Yingsleeve didn't change his words, he was angry for a while, got up and said, "You give me a good idea here!" I'm going to take a trip! As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves away.

This tone, as majestic as her master, was solemn and murderous, and Ying Sleeve's heart trembled when she heard it.

She silently sat alone in Xie Dongli's Nanshan Xuan Nuan Pavilion for a stick of incense, and was about to get up and leave, but saw the door curtain lifted, and Xie Dongli came in again.

Yingsleeve smiled on his face, tilted his head and asked him, "Why are you back again?"

"I'm mad at you!" Xie Dongli glared at her, turned around and was about to leave.

Yingsleeve walked over quickly, hugged his sturdy waist from behind, pressed his cheek against his broad back, took a deep breath, his nose was full of lingering breath, closed his eyes, and did not notice the smile on his lips.

"You're going to give me a rash again?" He looked down at her arms around his waist.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ I'll cure you. She said softly and sweetly.

Xie Donglian's hand was on his waist, and he was about to break her hand, but after listening to her words, he paused again, covered her hand, and shook it gently.

Soon, the familiar tingling came from his hand again.

He pulled out his usual vial from his sleeve pocket. He turned around and stuffed it into Yingsleeve's hand.

Ying Sleeve hurriedly let go of his arms and took the medicine bottle from Xie Dongli's hand. He poured out the medicine and fed one into his mouth.

After she left, according to the agreement between the two, Xie Dongli really had a rash on his face and "fell ill".

……

The next day at the court meeting in the Baohe Palace, Zhang Shaohong waited for a long time and saw that the court meeting was about to end. Xie Dongli hadn't come yet, and while muttering in his heart, he still came out decisively. presented his own recital, and said: "Your Majesty, the wedding date of the lord of Yingjun has been set, and the minister thinks." It's time to revert to the ancient law. Those who are still in charge can only hold vacant positions, and can no longer hold official positions with real power. ā€

As soon as Zhang Shaohong's words came out, there was an uproar in the court.

Everyone could hear that his words were aimed at Xie Dongli.

Emperor Yuan Hong had no daughters, only two granddaughters, Yuan Yingsleeve and Yuan Yinglan. Yingsleeve and Xie Dongli Xie are married, and they will get married in October this year. Yuan Yinglan has not yet decided on a marriage.

If this rule is restored, then Yuan Yinglan will be able to pick the range of her husband in the future. It's a lot smaller.

Because any man with a little ambition is unwilling to be this kind of horse master with only a false name.

However, Yuan Yingsleeve has already made a marriage with Xie Dongli.

And Xie Dongli is the vice minister of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and he is also the next prime minister who Emperor Yuan Hong and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng are very optimistic about.

Listening to Zhang Shaohong's words, Prime Minister Shen Dacheng's brows furrowed tightly.

The lines between his eyebrows are so deep that they can almost trap mosquitoes.

Emperor Yuan Hong quietly opened Zhang Shaohong's recital and looked at it, did not say anything, just looked at the officials standing in the main hall, looked from left to right, and then from right to left.

As soon as Zhang Shaotian heard it, he knew that this matter had something to do with his mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, so he didn't hesitate, and immediately came out of the queue and said to Zhang Shaohong: "Vice Minister Zhang has worked hard for the interests of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and he is really a model for my generation. However, when Vice Minister Xie married the lord of Ying, he did not know that the lord of Yingjun was the lord of the county. According to the laws of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, events that occurred before the advent of the statute are not retroactive. That is to say, the proposal that you just put forward today that the person who is still in charge cannot hold the official position of real power does not apply to Vice Minister Xie. As for those who will be in the Lord in the future, knowing that there is this law, they will be much more prepared. ā€

Zhang Shaohong didn't expect that it would be his own brother who would dismantle the stage immediately, and he was immediately annoyed, glared at him with hatred, and said stiffly: "Is it suitable or not, you have to listen to Your Majesty, what are you talking about?!" ā€

Obviously, it was for him that Xie Dongli was allowed to make room, how could he have such a stupid brother!

Zhang Shaotian took a deep breath and had to speak again.

Prime Minister Shen Dacheng sighed: "Today is really unfortunate. Vice Minister Xie committed the old disease of rash again, and he couldn't get out of bed, and he was absent from today's court. Otherwise, it would be good to listen to what Vice Minister Xie said. ā€

Emperor Yuan Hong accepted the chapter and said, "It's okay, there are still ten days to go, let's discuss it slowly." With that, he left the Baohe Hall and went back to the Jiuyi Palace.

After the Great Dynasty was dispersed, Zhang Shaohong's recital soon spread throughout the Gaomen of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.

Everyone not only watched how Xie Dongli responded, but also thought about how to deal with Yuan Yinglan's family affairs.

Seeing that the news had come out from the proper channels, Ying Sleeve put on the county lord's dress, put down a full set of county lord honor guards and entered the palace, asking to see Emperor Yuan Hong.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yingjun asks to see you!" At the door of Emperor Yuanhong's imperial study, there was the sound of the eunuch.

Emperor Yuan Hong was stunned for a moment, and then a subtle smile appeared on his face, he nodded, and said lightly: "Xuan." ā€

The four prime ministers in the imperial study stood up.

Yingsleeve was wearing a full set of county lord dresses, two golden ribbons fluttering on his chest in front of his shoulders, a goose-yellow waist seal with two palms wide around his waist, and a red gold twisted silk luan phoenix hanging bead crown on his head, which represented the identity of the county lord, walked up dignifiedly, knelt down in front of Emperor Yuanhong's bookcase, and said crisply: "Yuan's Yingsleeve has seen the emperor's grandfather, may my emperor live long live long live!" ā€

"Flat, give a seat." Emperor Yuan Hong hurriedly raised his hand and made a gesture of support.

The great eunuch beside Emperor Yuan Hong hurriedly moved the brocade stool himself and put it in front of Yingsleeve.

Yingsleeve didn't get up and sit down, she kowtowed three more times before saying, "Your Majesty, Yingsleeve heard the court talk about Yingsleeve's family affairs today." Ying Sleeve is very embarrassed. The court meeting is a time when His Majesty and the courtiers discuss national affairs, and Yingsleeve's family affairs are insignificant, and he really can't talk about it day and night, and keep it in his heart. ā€

Zhang Shaohong didn't expect Ying Sleeve to enter the palace immediately, and he confronted himself face to face, his face was very unbearable, and he was very embarrassed and ashamed. Of course, he quickly came back to his senses and said loudly: "The county lord Ying is the royal county lord, and the royal family has no trivial matter, let alone a big happy event such as the county lord marrying?" Lord Yingjun, what do you think, what is Weichen's proposal today? After speaking, he seemed to feel that the fire was not fierce enough, so he added another handful of firewood and said: "The second prince of Zheng of Southern Zheng State, in order to marry the granddaughter of Prime Minister Shen Dacheng, he didn't even do the prince, but I don't know what our Vice Minister Xie will do?" ā€

The most regrettable thing for him is that Xie Dongli didn't get sick early or late, but he was sick at this time, otherwise he could really beat him so powerless at once that he would tear off his face!

Ying Sleeve smiled and got up and raised his head, as if he hadn't heard Zhang Shaohong's provocative words, he only bent down to Emperor Yuan Hong and gave a blessing, and said: "Imperial grandfather, since Vice Minister Zhang mentioned the second prince of Zheng in Southern Zheng State, Ying Sleeve is not talented, and he also wants to learn from the second prince of Zheng." ā€

As soon as Ying Sleeve's words came out, not only Prime Minister Shen Dacheng, but even Emperor Yuan Hong's face was soothed.

I have to say that Zhang Shaohong's proposal today has indeed lifted the lid on Emperor Yuan Hong's indecisiveness, and a carelessness will make Emperor Yuan Hong estranged himself from Xie Dongli and Shen Dacheng.

But now everyone understands what she means.

Ying's bright eyes were full of smiles, and he said: "Vice Minister Xie is the pillar of the country, and Dongyuan cannot do without Vice Minister Xie." And since I am the county lord of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, I should share the worries of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and I cannot do anything that affects the interests of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom and violates the laws and regulations of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom! As she spoke, she raised her head and said to Emperor Yuanhong: "Grandfather Huang, Yingsleeve invites himself to be demoted to a commoner!" ā€
