The sun is shining and the sun is shining.

"General Jia, you'd better go back first. Your Majesty is convening a cabinet meeting, and I don't have time to see you. ”

Outside the Daming Palace, in front of the hundred-zhang-wide white stone steps, Dai Quan said bitterly to Jia Qingdao. If it weren't for the fact that he had a deep relationship with Jiafu, and Jia Qing was in his eyes, things like this were all done by his disciples and grandchildren, where would he be able to go out in person.

Jia Qingdao said: "Since Your Majesty is not idle now, then I will wait here, and Manager Dai will please go back first." ”

Dai Quan smiled bitterly: "General Jia, why bother me, Your Majesty has already said, let you go back first......"

Hearing this, Jia Qing was silent for a moment, suddenly straightened his sleeves, faced the majestic palace in front of him, and slowly knelt down.

"General Jia, what are you?"

"I really have something important to ask to see Your Majesty, and I'm sorry to be in charge of Dai, please!"

Jia Qing bowed his hand to Dai Quandao.

"Alas"

Dai Quan couldn't, sighed lightly, turned around and took the little eunuch away.

In the south study, the five cabinet ministers, except for the first assistant He Shanbao, the other four are here.

In addition, there is Wu Zihao, the secretary of the Criminal Department. At this time, he was reporting to Emperor Zhengqing after the imperial case:

"Your Majesty, after verification, it was indeed the former White Lotus Sect demon girl who sneaked into He Mansion the night before yesterday to assassinate her. Moreover, after the joint search and investigation of Weichen, the Shuntian Yamen and the Commander Sun, no of his accomplices was found, and it was preliminarily concluded that this was done by one of them. ”

Seeing that Emperor Zhengqing above only nodded slightly, and did not make any other indications, Wu Zihao continued: "In addition, because Lord He was suddenly assassinated and his life and death are unknown, the leader of the White Lotus Sect and Liu Shi and others who should have been beheaded are still in custody, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to cut them. ”

Emperor Zhengqing raised his eyebrows, and he didn't know if he was alive or dead...... According to the imperial doctor's reply, He Shanbao was not injured by swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and said that it was ...... Frightened too much? Failed to wake up......

"I have asked the Emperor Taishang to adjudicate this matter, and I will discuss it later!"

After Emperor Zhengqing finished speaking with a pale face, he suddenly saw Dai Quan, the great eunuch next to him, who looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Dai Quan suddenly had a bright smile like a chrysanthemum on his face, took a step closer, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Back to Your Majesty, General Jia is kneeling outside and asking to see Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Zhengqing frowned and said, "Didn't you say let him go back first?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Dai Quan to reply, Emperor Zhengqing suddenly remembered the unclear relationship between Jia Qing and the White Lotus Sect Demon Girl, so he said unhappily: "You tell him, let him go back to the house and think about it, I don't have time to listen to him plead now!" ”

He thought that Jia Qing had come to plead guilty.

"This, under the avoidance, General Jia said that he had something important to ask for, and he would rather kneel outside the palace and wait than go back."

As soon as Dai Quan's words were spoken, even several ministers frowned. At this time, it is normal for Jia Qing to enter the palace to ask for guilt, but instead of respecting orders, he insists on His Majesty's opinion, which is not so easy to understand.

However, those who were familiar with Jia Qing quickly guessed Jia Qing's thoughts. For example, Fang Shou, for example, Wu Zihao......

"Hmph, then let him kneel!"

Emperor Zhengqing suddenly snorted coldly, and said without emotion.

Fang Shou below chuckled in his heart, knowing that Emperor Zhengqing had probably guessed Jia Qing's intention......

"Yes."

Dai Quanneng listened to the words as they were, and it was very much to give Jia Qing face, and now that he saw that Emperor Zhengqing seemed to be displeased, he naturally wouldn't say more.

With that little thing done, let's move on to the next agenda.

Emperor Zhengqing picked up a book in front of him and said: "This is the fold handed over by He Fu, all of you Aiqing should take a look." ”

Dai Quan hurriedly stepped forward to take the fold and handed it to Yang Pu, the cabinet assistant who was sitting in the second seat below.

The others saw that the emperor did not explain it directly, but let them see it by themselves, which was a little strange, so they waited for Yang Pu to open the fold and watch. It's just a moment, and I saw Yang Pu's eyebrows move, and then gently closed the fold and handed it to Li Zhen, who was next......

After all five people finished reading it, Emperor Zhengqing said: "He Shanbao asked to resign from the position of first assistant, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”

Li Zhen and the others looked at Yang Pu at the same time. If this is the case, then it is very likely that the next Shoufu will be the Yang Pu in front of him......

Yang Pu naturally knew what Li Zhen and the others thought, and he didn't care, so he got up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Lord He's move is actually a righteous act for Your Majesty and the imperial court. Lord He suffered this catastrophe suddenly, and he didn't want to concentrate on recuperation, but the first thing that came to mind was that the imperial court could not do without the presiding over of the first assistant, and His Majesty could not do without the support of his arm. ”

When the others listened to Yang Pu's words, their minds moved, because Yang Pu's words seemed to have the meaning of replacing He Shanbao.

Cui Wenlong and Fang Shou were not very familiar with Yang Pu because they entered the cabinet later, and only Li Zhen, who had been in the cabinet for more than ten years like him, sighed in his heart.

Yang Pu's words were originally correct, in the officialdom, no matter whether the previous term did well or not, the people behind should lift the sedan chair high, after all, everyone will have the day to leave office, not an enemy of life and death, why bother to do things absolutely?

But, brother, you know that Your Majesty doesn't like He Shanbao, so why do you say this in front of Your Majesty? Isn't He Shanbao's experience profound enough?

I also heard Yang Pu say: "As the pillar of the imperial court and the pillar of the country, at this time, it is really not appropriate to remove Lord He from the position of first assistant, or wait for Lord He to recover, and then discuss this matter." ”

Emperor Zhengqing quietly waited for Yang Pu to finish speaking, suddenly smiled, and then stopped asking what others meant, only said: "Okay, just according to Yang Ge Lao's meaning!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the fold that Dai Quan put back again, opened it, and wrote a word directly with Zhu Pi:

Not!

Then it closed directly, and there was no reason for replying.

......

Fang Shou and Cui Wenlong talked about walking out of the Daming Palace, and then, at a glance, they saw the tall figure kneeling straight on the steps.

Stopping the conversation, Fang Shou walked over to that side.

Jia Qing had been kneeling here for more than an hour, and the spicy sunlight in the sky and the sweat running down his cheeks had somewhat confused his eyes. However, he still saw Fang Shou.

"I've seen... Master. ”

Jia Qing didn't get up, only raised his head and said slowly.

"Let's go, come back with me, and have something to say to you for the teacher."

Jia Qing looked at the worry and distress on Fang Shou's face, although he was a little moved in his heart, he still shook his head, and then lowered his head.

He knew that Fang Shou couldn't help him in this matter, and if he could, he wouldn't have to wait until today.

Jia Qing's rudeness did not anger Fang Shou, looking down at the stubborn person in front of him, and then feeling his back that began to heat up after just a few breaths, Fang Shou only had pity and distress in his heart at this time.

"Let's go, it's useless."

Fang Shou has always attached great importance to this closed disciple with Hui Roots. Although Jia Qing visited yesterday and he did not meet him, he knew about Jia Qing's actions in the past two days.

"Disciple, I want to try ......"

Try ...... Fang Shouran was silent. The burning sensation on his back became stronger and stronger, and Fang Shou knew that with his old body, it wouldn't take too long, he would only need to stand here for a quarter of an hour before he would fall to the ground.

However, the little man in front of him always straightened up. What kind of woman can confuse my most proud disciple into such a form? Fang Shou, for the first time, had the idea of wanting to meet that White Lotus Sect demon girl.

Alas, Fang Shou shook his head and left a little lonely.

Since Jia Qing insisted on doing so, he would not force anything. Let him do what he wants, although he is destined to break his head, but at least, after this, he will definitely be able to become more mature.

This is also the price to pay for growth.
