Chapter 418: Chopping Off Ling Xiang's Arm (Middle)
"Not only to bribe, but also to ask him to cooperate with us in this drama and deceive Shangshu, is this really possible?"
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was made blue and purple for a while by this ridicule, like a color palette, very exciting.
After Bai Jingyin had laughed enough, he took a deep breath and sighed:
"If I really have the ability, I should let him directly assassinate Ling Xiang's father and son, instead of aiming the blade at your daughter. I'm afraid that Shangshu can't even deceive himself by saying these words, so why bother saying them to make people laugh. β
"No matter what, in the eyes of Niangniang, the old man is a cold-blooded and ruthless person who only knows how to cling to Ling Xiang and doesn't care about the love of father and daughter."
Bai Jingyin Nuzui,
"At least now, it seems that Shangshu knows himself more clearly than I thought."
Gongbu Shangshu looked at Bai Jingyin for a moment, silent, and it could be seen from the shaking eyes that he was thinking about something in his heart. Suddenly, he took a step forward and walked towards Bai Jingyin.
Shao Jingyi took a step forward for fear that he would be unfavorable to Bai Jingyin,
But Bai Jingyin stopped him quietly.
Calmly drinking hot tea,
Even if you want to be unfavorable to her, you have to see if you have the ability.
Sure enough, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu just sat next to Bai Jingyin, and his body looked very stiff. Lowering his eyes, after a moment of silence,
Opening:
"Niangniang saved Rong'er's life, and visited late-night to be outspoken, if the old man has been going around in circles with Niangniang, saying that those hypocritical clichΓ©s of officialdom really shouldn't be, please forgive the old man and get straight to the point." Arched his hand.
"They are all people who understand like a mirror, and if Lord Shangshu had done this earlier, he would not have wasted so much time."
With a long sigh,
"It is said that literati have arrogant bones, and if you want to come to the court, you should not be full of poetry and books in the imperial examination, with the ambition of helping the world, but the ups and downs of officialdom, it is really difficult not to bend your waist, and after suppressing and hitting the wall everywhere, the old man realized that he must live a smooth life and know how to follow the flames, which is the way to be an official."
"Being a person needs to be tactful, but tactfulness and co-flow are not the same meaning, I am right, right?"
Bai Jingyin looked at Shao Jingyi, Shao Jingyi nodded, and said in a deep voice:
"The gentleman is harmonious but different, and the villain is the same but not compatible. The excuse Shang Shu made for himself was far-fetched. β
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu smiled bitterly,
"That's it, the two of them are right, the old man is blinded by the power and wealth. With the first look at Ling Xiangma, from a mere six-grade Taichang Temple official to a first-grade Shangshu. Sitting in the same boat, in addition to interests, many things that cannot see the light of day over the years are familiar with each other, and they have long been sharing weal and woe, that is, the old man wants to break with Ling Xiang and avenge his daughter, how can he have the capital? ! The evidence in Ling Xiang's hand can make the old man die without a place to bury before exposing Ling Xiang. β
It can be seen that
What the Ministry of Industry is saying now is at least eight points true,
"Niangniang thinks that the old man has done his best to the prime minister over the years, and has no other thoughts, and finally he can accept it if he is really abandoned by crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, there is really no other way. Niangniang and Governor Shao should leave, Nian in the two to save Rong'er's life, the old man Quan has never seen the two today, and he can only do this step. β
Stretching out his arms and waving to the door,
Apparently, an eviction order was issued.
Bai Jingyin was surprisingly obedient at this time, raised his eyebrows, and stood up. Leave a sentence: "It is really admirable that Lord Shangshu can go all the way to the black, but unfortunately, this loyal Ling Xiang is destined not to feel it." β
Speaking of which,
Together with Shao Jingyi, he was about to go out.
Sure enough,
hasn't taken a few steps yet,
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu opened his mouth to stop it.
"Wait."
Hearing this, Bai Jingyin exchanged glances with Shao Jingyi, revealing a winning smile.
In fact, before this, Shao Jingyi expressed his concerns to Bai Jingyin, which was no different from what Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said. Sitting in the same boat, they don't know each other in many things, knowing that Ling Xiang has so many criminal records, how can Ling Xiang not prevent him from betraying, and it is not easy to withdraw and defect.
Since they can think of this, the two of them have also come up with a solution together.
In the end, it can be summed up in one word,
'Forced to go to Liangshan'
"What do you mean by what the noble concubine said, why can't the old man's loyalty be passed on to Ling Xiang." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of them, frowned, and asked in a deep voice.
"Well, didn't I tell Shangshu?"
Bai Jingyin blinked very innocently, and said in a casual tone:
"It's nothing, even if I left the palace in a hurry, I didn't have that towel to cover my face, so I couldn't hide my identity when I stole Liang and changed pillars to save my wife, and I must have been recognized by Xuanyi."
"So what!"
Looking at the smile in Bai Jingyin's eyes, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu knew that it must be more than just the surface.
"The Ministry of Industry Shangshu and the concubine have always been incompatible, and there have been many-for-tat confrontations on the matter of natural disasters in Huaixia, why did the concubine Niangniang go to Hengyang with all her might, regardless of her own danger, to save the daughter of an enemy. Where did all the news about this come from? There is only one answer to everything, that is, Lord Shangshu has already surrendered to the emperor, and as a condition, Niangniang will save people, and only in this way can it be justified. β
Shao Jingyi's tone is irrefutable,
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was suddenly awakened by these words, his face was pale, and his eyes widened in disbelief and anger at the two people in front of him.
A few steps back,
His arms trembled with anger, and he couldn't say a word for a long time:
"You, you, youβ"
"How are we?"
Bai Jingyin smiled even more,
"The reason why Lord Shangshu is so angry is not right, in fact, it is more accurate to say that he is afraid of fear. After following Ling Xiang for so many years, I should always know better than I know what kind of suspicious and jealous Ling Xiang is, and would rather kill by mistake and never let go. At this moment, it is estimated that he has already believed in Shangshu's betrayal, and he is angry in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Bai Jingyin covered his mouth and sneered a few times, "Of course, if Lord Shangshu is still persistent, you can go and explain the situation to Ling Xiang to show your loyalty, and see if Ling Xiang will believe you, or think that these are all schemes to deceive him into trust, and then in a fit of anger, let Xuanyi's sword that failed to stab the general's wife wipe your neck Lord Shangshu." β
Don't even think about it,
Everyone knows that it has to be the latter.
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu suddenly seemed to have all the strength of his body withdrawn, and the three souls were not seen and the seven spirits were gone, and his face was like earth and despair, and he sat on the chair in despair, and his mouth was only muttering,
"It's over, it's over, it's all over."
Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was really terrified of how Ling Xiang would retaliate against him, a 'traitor'.
