Chapter 522: Small Talk

Ling Chen probably knew that his "honorable face" would scare the palace people who were working when he walked out, so he sat by the mirror and let the wind blow his hair and clothes with confidence. After about ten minutes, the wind finished dressing Ling Chen, and then let go of the person from the stool and followed him to Wutong Residence.

Sycamore House.

When Jiang Huan and Bailiao chatted, their heads began to hurt, but Bailiao's emotional intelligence was poor, and Jiang Huan rubbed his head from time to time and didn't find that he was not feeling well, and he was still chatting there. Finally sent the person away, and wanted to go back to the house to rest for a while, but I heard that Qianying reported that Ling Chen was coming.

This sentence Ling Chen came, making Jiang Huan's already big head bigger.

Seeing Jiang Huan's groggy appearance, Qianying crossed his eyebrows with a trace of worry. But it was only for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal, and only listened to him: "Childe, are you not feeling well?" Do you need a subordinate to return to the Lord for you? ”

"No, you don't." Jiang Huan held the table and shook his head slowly, "The Lord must have something to look for me when he came over so early, if he didn't see me and let him leave like this, he would inevitably leave the conversation and let him in." ”

"Yes." Seeing Jiang Huan's insistence, Qianying didn't say anything more, but gritted his teeth and retreated.

Ten seconds later, Ling Chen and Hurricane came in. Jiang Huan got up from the stool, resisted the urge to faint, and saluted Ling Chen.

"I've seen the Lord."

"Hurry up, hurry up." Seeing that Jiang Huan's body was trembling a little, Ling Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support him and sent the person to his seat.

"Thank you, Lord." Jiang Huan said.

"You and I don't have to say thank you." Ling Chen waved his hand and said, "In the past few days, the frequency of your early requests for leave has increased again. Why, is it because the weather is getting colder, or is it simply unwell? Or is it some other reason not to come to court? If it's the first two, have you seen it? What did the Imperial Doctor say? Does it matter? If it's the latter, can you tell Lone what's going on? ”

"Probably a cold." Jiang Huanqiang pulled out a smile, "It's a trivial matter, it doesn't matter." What's more, the people in the Tai Hospital are busy enough to deal with the affairs of the palace, how can they bother him for such a small illness. Besides, how can I be so noble, I have to go to the imperial doctor when I am sick. ”

"You can't say that." Ling Chen said, "You are Lone's henchman, Lone has a lot of things for you to do, and you can't do anything at all." ”

"The Lord laughed." Jiang Huan smiled with a smile, "Now that the traitors have been removed, and the lord himself has obtained the decision-making power and command power in the court, he can do it himself or send someone to do it, so why point to me and let others have no place to get ahead." ”

"Lone can't talk about you, don't talk about it." Ling Chen knew how powerful Jiang Huan's kung fu was, and when he heard him say a few words, he waved his hand, not lecturing with him about this issue, but said, "An Xian is dead, the position of Taifu is vacant, and many high-ranking ministers in the court are eyeing him, and they can't wait to sit in that position in the next second." It's just that although they wanted to do it, they didn't mention it, and they didn't dare to recommend themselves. But this morning, the scene has changed. Ah Huan, do you want to know what the changes are? Ling Chen looked at him mysteriously.

"In the early dynasties, some people proposed that the position of Taifu was empty, which was not conducive to the development of Yue in the long run. In order for the country to develop faster, there must be someone who can replace An Xian to sit in the position of Taifu, right? They thought I was up to the task, so they kept saying nice things about me. Lord, is there a discrepancy between what I say and the truth? Jiang Huan said what he knew.

"No, of course not." Ling Chen was frightened by Jiang Huan's clever skills, "You haven't been to the court today, and Gu just mentioned this matter to you, how do you know in such detail?" It's as if you've seen it with your own eyes. ”

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but before the Lord came up, Lord Baili came to me and told me about the early dynasty, and I knew that there was such a thing. If not, how would I know so much? The Lord really thinks that I can guess other people's thoughts out of thin air. ”

"Of course not." Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied, "Since you already know about this, then Gu won't talk to you more." Lone came here to ask you a word. ”

"Lord, please speak."

"What do you think of the protΓ©gΓ© of the old Song Guogong suddenly promoting you to the position of Taifu?" Ling Chen thought for a while, and finally said this.

"Huh?" Jiang Huan was stunned.

He also thought that Ling Chen was going to ask him if he wanted to sit in the position above the ten thousand people under one person, and he had even thought about what to say. But he didn't expect Ling Chen to give him this play.

"Tell me what you think." Ling Chen didn't know the twists and turns in Jiang Huan's heart, and he didn't see anything wrong with Jiang Huan. He just felt that Jiang Huan was not in good health and his reflexes were a little worse than usual, so he couldn't turn around when he heard his question.

"I didn't see it much." Jiang Huanwan, "The Lord also knows, I have been here for a short time, only half a year. A lot of people can't get used to me and are squeezing me out everywhere. Half a year has passed, and I have gotten used to it. Even if they're crowding out, that's nothing. It's just that the protΓ©gΓ©s of the old Song Guogong I told you are not familiar, and their personalities are not clear, so it is not good to jump to conclusions. Maybe it's because An Xian died and their backers fell, so they thought about helping me, the person I used to look down on the most, to take the position, and hoped that I could remember the grace of support and treat them well. ”

Jiang Huan's words were full of loopholes, such as why not choose a Taifu from among their own people, or find one of those ministers who had no enmity with him, and support him to sit in the position of Taifu.

But out of trust, Ling Chen didn't suspect anything.

"Lone thinks what you said makes sense." Ling Chen lowered his eyes, "Maybe they really happened because An Xian's dead dog jumped off the wall in a hurry." By the way, what about you, do you want to be this Taifu? ”

"I don't want to do it, but I can't help it." Jiang Huan said without thinking, "Although the position of the master is high, Shangshu Province is a large place and there are many people, and there are countless things that need to be dealt with every day, and there are only a few things that can be handled by the master." If he cut off his work there and concentrate on the affairs of the Lord, he would provoke the dissatisfaction of other officials in Shangshu Province. Moreover, although the Anxian crisis has been resolved, other crises have not. For example, how to recover the two cities occupied by Xiliang, and how to gain a firm foothold among Chen and Wu. How to regain the prestige of the Lord in the court is the most important thing. ”

"That makes sense." Ling Chen said, "Go on." ”
