(235) Flowers bloom and two lives are not destined (9)
Sure enough, as soon as Pei Lu found the handle, he would not leave me any affection, and he hated to kick me down immediately, so that he could give up the position of prime minister to his people to sit.
Now that the emperor is more and more fond of Concubine Mei, even the infant Seventh Prince has become the jewel on the tip of his heart, with such a situation, even if Pei Lu can endure it, he will inevitably be conceited and anxious.
Seeing that the prince's wings were gradually plump, Pei Lu said that he was not anxious, it was all fake.
But no matter what Pei Lu thought in his heart or what he did on his face, I never said a word, it seemed to be a tacit acquiescence, and it seemed that I was silently arguing.
This made Pei Lu, who had spent a long time talking, very angry, but it was not light, and in the end, the only person who could decide the fate of everyone present was the person who sat on the throne of the emperor.
"Shen Qing, don't you have anything to say?" Emperor Qin looked at me, his eyes darkened, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Back to the emperor, "I bow my head and bow down" It is a fact that Weichen was expelled from Wei Yinghou's mansion, Weichen is irrefutable, but Master Taifu said that Weichen is not worthy of the position, and Weichen wants to dare to ask Lord Taifu, Lord Taifu has experienced officialdom in his life, and has suffered countless promotions and depreciations. ”
"You!" Pei Lu was so angry that he choked, "You are simply arguing with words!" ”
I didn't deny Peilu's words, because I was just arguing with words.
Emperor Qin was also annoyed when he saw the way we looked at Mai Mang.
"Then according to Taifu's meaning, Shen Qing can't sit in the position of prime minister?"
Pei Lu arched his hand, "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all have doubts about Shen Xiang's virtue, and the old minister just expresses this doubt to the emperor on his behalf, and everything still has to be decided by the emperor." ”
Pei Lu pushed and shrank at such a critical time, but it made Emperor Qin not say much, he muttered for a while, and was about to speak, but I took the first step to speak.
"Lord Taifu, you are an old minister of the Three Dynasties, you are highly respected and respected, you say that I am not qualified to be this prime minister, presumably few people in the entire court dare to stand up against it, but I still have to ask Lord Taifu here, "I raised my eyes to look at him, my eyes were full of contempt and coldness" If the Qin Kingdom still wants me to be the prime minister in the future, what does Lord Taifu want? ”
Pei Lu was provoked by me, and he didn't care if there would really be such a day, so he directly said, "Then the official will personally kowtow to you to make amends, and beg you to come back!" ”
I looked at him with a smile in my eyes.
Leaning down and kneeling, I said to Emperor Qin, "Your Majesty, Weichen voluntarily resigned from all his positions today, returned to the house to recuperate, and did not ask about everything in the future, did not listen to everything, and asked the emperor for permission." ”
Emperor Qin frowned for a moment, he wanted to say something, but there was pressure from the Taifu next to him, and there were hundreds of officials under him, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"If I get it, the post of prime minister will be temporarily taken over by Lu Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War."
"Your Majesty, Lu Xuan is in an important position, I'm afraid that he lacks skills." When Pei Lu heard that it was not his own person, his face suddenly turned bad.
"Then Master Lu and Mrs. Pei will serve together." I admonished, "The two adults are the pillars of our dynasty, presumably it is difficult for one prime minister to defeat the two, not to mention that Lord Lu has meritorious service in escorting the prince, and he should also be rewarded." ”
As soon as Emperor Qin and Taifu Pei heard what I said, they knew that I was scolding.
I'm a person who wears many hats, and I run out all day long, as a prime minister, the government affairs that should be handled, the things that should be done, I haven't left a single one, and now it's a different person, but it takes a few people to do it well, this is not scolding, what is it?
Mrs. Pei was ashamed and angry, but helpless.
It's impossible for him to throw away the power he has in his hands, just because of a moment of anger?
It's just that Emperor Qin also has his considerations, the two temporary prime ministers can be said to be unprecedented, and there is no one to come, he broke this case today, then he has to harvest something equivalent.
"That's it, Pei Lao and Lu Aiqing are old after all, and many things still have to be done by young people, He Qiong escorted the prince to Qi Guo for merit, because there have been many things recently, and there has been no reward, and now he will temporarily act as prime minister, Pei Lao, you and Lu Aiqing will assist."
After speaking, Emperor Qin waved his hand tiredly, "No one is perfect, Pei Lao still don't be too harsh, let's step down, I'm going to rest." ”
Emperor Qin's meaning is already very clear, although Pei Lu did not pick up a big bargain, but he still understands the benefits and losses, now that I am gone, who else in the court dares to argue with him?
"The old minister retired."
"Wechen retired."
Pei Lu and I didn't get an inch, and obediently withdrew from the main hall.
"Mrs. Pei, congratulations." I congratulated him with a smile.
Pei Lu successfully pushed me down this time, and he was in a good mood, and he didn't bother to worry about me so much, so he smiled and gave me a salute back.
"Lord Shen Xiang likes to dig pits and jump for himself, although the old man cherishes Shen Xiang's talent, he has to say a pity."
My face froze.
Well, if you hadn't instigated the old ancestor to abolish my throne, how could I have been driven out now?
"What Mrs. Pei said is that it is indeed me who is to blame for myself, and I can't blame others." I bowed my head slightly, "I just hope that Mrs. Pei will not 'take the blame' like me in the future." ”
Pei Lu squinted, shook his sleeves and left.
Now that I'm not the prime minister of Daqin, there's no need for him to waste time with me here.
I stood where I was, quietly watching Pei Lu walk away, and then I took a long detour to the Prince's East Palace.
"Prime Minister?" Xiao Gezi was stunned when he saw me suddenly appear at the door of the main hall. The Seven Realms
"What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How is his body recovering? "I didn't go in, I just stood at the door and asked.
Xiao Gezi was originally guarding against me, but he didn't see me come in when he waited and waited, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Your Highness's body is fine, and you can sleep in the palace for a day." Xiao Gezi rubbed his hands and looked at me with some hesitation.
"What's wrong?" I wondered.
"Isn't that your ...... Is it injured? Xiao Gezi lowered his head, a little afraid to look at me.
I was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Gezi nervously explained, "The slave only looks at your face too bad, my lord, so I will ...... Don't get me wrong! ”
There was a slight sourness in my heart, and I quickly lowered my eyes to hide the astringency in my eyes.
Xiao Gezi has always hated me, but I didn't expect him to care about me.
It is said that the love of the palace is the most indifferent, in fact, the love between people in this world is as thin and cold, I have fought for it, I have lost it, and now I just want to cherish it.
It's like I never expect my "relatives" to have the slightest affection for me.
"I'm fine, I'll go back first, don't mention my visit today to His Royal Highness the Prince." I smiled at him and turned to leave.
However, I had barely walked a few steps when a "little tail" followed.
I wanted to leave the palace quickly in front of me, but the "little tail" behind me followed more and more tightly, and finally followed me out of the palace directly.
I said, "I had no choice but to turn my head, "Your Royal Highness the Sixth Princess, you have been following you, what do you want?" ”
When Cen Yuhe saw that I had finally stopped talking to her, her face immediately smiled as bright as a peach blossom in March.
"Shen Qingzhi, you've been back for so long, why don't you come into the palace to see me?" Cen Yuhe puffed out his cheeks, crossed his hands on his waist, and his face was full of coquettishness and anger.
I didn't fold this princess a little, so I could only coax her half-truthfully.
"I have been injured in Qi and have been recuperating in the palace, and today the emperor summoned me urgently, and I just entered the palace, in fact, I have been worried about the safety of the princess in my heart, but I just ...... However, there is more than enough heart but not enough strength. ”
The corners of Cen Yuhe's eyes were slightly raised, and she pouted and looked at me, "Shen Qingzhi, why do you always love to lie in front of me?" ”
I was stunned.
My scammer...... No, it's language attainments, which have always been perfected and easy to come by, how can they capsize in the gutter now?
"I don't understand the princess's words, I don't understand ......"
Cen Yuhe glared at me, "Every time you lie to me, you always love to laugh, and your smile is very fake." ”
I subconsciously touched the corner of my mouth with my hand, very self-doubting.
"Really?"
Cen Yuhe nodded vigorously.
"So what?" I adjusted the curvature of the corners of my mouth and asked her for her opinion seriously.
Cen Yuhe stared at me for a while, but still shook his head, "No, the arc is too big, it's deliberate at first glance, and there are eyes, you can't open them so wide, when you want to laugh, you should be half-mi." ”
Really?
I tried to do what she told me to do — the corners of my mouth sank a little, my eyes half-narrowed, and my eyebrows turned up a bit.
Because there is no mirror, I can't tell what I look like now, so I can only ask her in front of me, "How is it?" Are you better? ”
Cen Yuhe looked at me, suddenly "poof", bent down and laughed, she laughed so much that the corners of her eyes were filled with tears.
"Shen Qingzhi ......"
I looked at her with a smile and trembled, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sixth princess, you better go back to the palace quickly, you always run out of the palace privately like this, and you are caught by the emperor, and you will inevitably be scolded again." I gently persuaded her, "Now in the harem, Concubine Mei is in power, you are the sister of His Royal Highness the Prince, she will inevitably come to find your fault, if you can avoid her a little, it is better than having a conflict with her." ”
"Hmph, what can she do if she is in power? Can this princess still be afraid of her? Cen Yuhe heard me mention Concubine Mei, and his face immediately fell.
She doesn't like this Concubine Mei, and she doesn't like the seventh brother who can't even speak.
She can understand why her father lost her mother in the first place, but no matter what, it is impossible for her not to resent her father.
In the final analysis, all the women in this palace are pawns in the hands of their father, and he can play wherever he wants, and no one has the right to resist.
Including herself.
As for that Concubine Mei...... It's just a waste chess piece that my father is about to discard.
