Chapter 564: The New Triumvirate of the Political Affairs Hall
The emperor gave it back again and again, but Xiao Jing, the king of Jin, repeatedly refused to accept it, and asked for the guilt that there were many violations of the law and prohibition in these industries before...... Anyway, in the eyes of the little fat man, this is a similar technique to canonization, all for outsiders to see.
When he pretended to be asleep and overheard the conversation between Yue Qianqiu and Xiao Jingxian, he initially felt that he was the only one who was regarded as an outsider. He didn't envy Xiao Jingxian for sending such a large sum of money to Yue Qianqiu, he was now long past the age of greedy for money, and he could understand that Yue Qianqiu and Xiao Jingxian had more hardships when they came back from crossing the border from Beiyan in the same boat, but they were not in a good mood.
Even if Xiao Jing asked Yue Qianqiu to do things first, or it was a thank you gift for returning safely from Beiyan before, it wouldn't have been so much, this should have been left by Xiao Jingxian to his children, or the nephew of the little prince of Beiyan!
Even if Yue Qianqiu later said that he would dedicate it to the emperor and the emperor would give it back, Xiao Jingxian's attitude still made him feel bottomless. On the contrary, now that people are playing with the emperor and pushing back and forth, he feels that this scene is more real, and he expects that Xiao Jingxian's posture is just for the emperor and his father and son.
Moreover, knowing that the money was not for Yue Qianqiu, but for his father, his mood was finally good!
Therefore, when the little fat man was about to be in the heat, he came out to make a final push, and saw that Xiao Jingxian finally accepted the emperor's gift in full, and then his face and heart blossomed.
And his expression fell in the eyes of Shen Zheng, who complained yesterday and was slapped on the head before he had time to see the impeachment of hundreds of officials, and naturally felt particularly stinging.
He really couldn't understand that he should be the real rival of Yue Qianqiu, but now it seems that he has a good relationship with Yue Qianqiu. And this prince of Great Wu should have kept a distance from Xiao Jingxian, who was a subordinate of Northern Yan, but he has always been very close to people. The most incredible thing is that the emperor let this go!
For a while, Shen Zheng's original thought became more firm. If the scourge is not eradicated, there will be no peace in the world!
When the court meeting of this day ended, the government hall returned from the four-phase era in just two days to the three-phase era again. Looking at Pei Xu's stiff back and lonely figure when he left the Daqing Palace, I don't know how many people remembered that the former prime minister who was ordered to be ordered to be the prime minister has only reached fifty now, and he is in the prime of life, and he was originally very hopeful that the old lady would become the prime minister.
In this way, the structure of the government hall still reverts to the old view. A child of a family, a Tanhualang of the year, and a ...... Well, there has never been a fierce man from a small official to a prime minister in so many years from this dynasty to the previous son of heaven!
You must know that in the past, the political hall often adopted a three-phase pattern, but it was either one more scholar from a poor family, or one more family official, so every time the resolution was a two-to-one pattern, either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind! Now it's good, the real three-legged stand, could it be that this is the emperor's true intention to support the old man?
Not only did many middle and low-grade officials think so, but when they returned to the political affairs hall, the old lady Yue who was walking in front also heard a voice behind him: "Old man Yue, you finally drove Pei Xu away with a thorn in the flesh, now you should be satisfied?" ”
Old lady Yue smiled without looking back: "What is Pei Xu, I have never regarded mediocre talents as opponents." It's Xiao Yezi, you are my opponent, otherwise let's practice again? ”
Ye Guanghan was preempted by the old lady Yue to become the prime minister, not to mention that he was seven years behind, but now although he is the second minister, he is still pressed on top of his head, and at this time he was called Xiao Yezi again, he suddenly crooked his nose angrily, and he had long forgotten that the original intention of the sarcasm just now was just to get angry for the benefit of his tongue, not really to quarrel or even do it.
"Practice and practice, I will still be afraid of you?"
Yu Jianzhong, who fell at the end, saw the two eyes in front of him fighting and splashing fire, as if he was about to do it at any time, he couldn't help but be angry and funny, but he also had to step forward to be a peacemaker, lest any of the two of them have a suspicious scar on his face, which makes people see the joke of the prime minister of the political hall. Finally, he has always been good at persuading peace, and in a few words, he finally stopped Ye Guanghan who was about to swing his fist.
But Ye Guanghan was angry in his heart, pointed at the nose of the old lady Yue and shouted: "I know how to play tricks every day, how can you, the prime minister, set an example?" Hmph, just now the king also accused Pei Xu of not knowing how to control the children in the family, so that the Pei family had accidents one after another, and the older you are, the more your tutor is very good? Don't forget, your little son doesn't know where to go now! ”
Yu Jianzhong, who was relieved just now because he persuaded the two of them, suddenly his face elongated at this moment, and he couldn't help but be very annoyed when he looked at Ye Guanghan.
When the two of you were in office as the head of the household department and the secretary of the military department, you have been fighting each other at every turn because of the problem that one daughter-in-law was robbed by the other, and now you are both prime ministers, and more than ten years have passed, and there is no end?
If you really provoke the old man, can you Ye Guanghan get out of the way?
However, the old lady Yue, who seemed to Yu Jianzhong to be thunderous, was not only not angry at all at this moment, but also squeezed his eyes at Ye Guanghan with a smile, just like an old naughty boy.
"Your daughter-in-law is really good, I had a good eye for picking people back then, but Xiao Yezi, your son is not very good, far inferior to my son. I don't like to show off, where are the four of my family, I can't tell you now, otherwise I will pull the two out of Bibi, and keep your son so ashamed to jump into the river! What's more, how do you not know more than grandchildren? Not to mention Qianqiu, my youngest son also added a great grandson to me! ”
Well, he will pick up his grandson, the younger the fourth is not bad, has the righteous son accepted it now?
Most officials in the DPRK and China know that in the past, the taboo of the old lady Yue was the young son who had been away for many years, so some people often slandered him behind his back that he had no way to teach his son, but now when the old lady Yue talked about the young son, his face was clearly full of pride and pride, and he also talked about another grandson, Yu Jianzhong and Ye Guanghan glanced at each other, and they all had an illusion of seeing a ghost.
Ye Guanghan clapped his hands suddenly and said: "Yes, I heard someone say that the eldest of your family met your little son and daughter-in-law halfway through, and he didn't intercept anyone, only your little daughter-in-law!" ”
Seeing that the old lady Yue didn't answer, his face was full of inscrutable, and Ye Xiangye, who had just been replaced as the second minister, couldn't help but pouted angrily: "Without the shadow of your father, what can your little son do?" It's your boss, what has he done since he has been in Beiyan for so long? Be careful that he comes back so late and is impeached! ”
"This ...... Be...... Machine...... Dense! Old lady Yue dragged out a long tone and said in a cheap tone, "The heavenly machine must not be leaked, and the leakage is useless." In short, when my little daughter-in-law comes back, let my perfect eldest daughter-in-law take the lead, invite your daughters-in-law to be guests, and let you see, my daughter-in-law's luck is still good! ”
Ye Guanghan was almost not angry with this old guy who was disrespectful, but he also had to admit that his interest was completely hooked by the old lady Yue. Although the second and third daughters-in-law of the old man Yue have many shortcomings, the family is very quiet compared with those housekeepers in Jinling City. As for the eldest daughter-in-law of the wangfu wangzi, it has indeed always been the standard for the daughter-in-law of the Jinling official eunuch family. But now, the old man's evaluation of his little daughter-in-law is so high?
If it's because of the letter that Master Yue brought back, it would be very interesting. After all, Master Yue is a serious and rigid civil official model, a serious scholar, in a sense, more official material than the older man, and his vision should not be bad.
Even Master Yu smiled and said: "If it is really as the elder Yue said, after your daughter-in-law comes back, I will ask my wife to bring my daughter-in-law over to have a good time." ”
"Welcome!" The old lady's chin was cocked high, and she had a posture of not refusing to come.
It is beneficial and harmless to let those women who have absolutely never seen Princess Beiyan come into contact with Princess Ping'an. As long as the Yue family does not hide it, but generously lets her see people, it is not easy for people to associate it with the princess of Beiyan who has long since "died". And for Princess Ping'an, this is also the best way for people to identify her as the little daughter-in-law of the Yue family.
Once the two countries fight, Princess Ping'an must be sad and worried, so he should be reparated!
Ye Guanghan saw that the old lady Yue's expression gradually became melancholy, but he didn't continue to raise the bar with others. Seeing that the political affairs hall was imminent, he suddenly asked: "When your family Qianqiu faced Zhong Liang in the Wuying Pavilion before, there was a Red Moon Palace Lord who claimed to have been recruited by the emperor. But this woman has never appeared again, and now that the Pei family is over, should there be a result in this matter? Who is she, how could the emperor think of recruiting a woman? ”
Yu Jianzhong didn't expect Ye Guanghan to mention such a trivial matter - Zhong Liang had already been sent by the emperor to send the three princes of Beiyan and the twelve princesses back to China, who would remember a woman Zhong Liang had a-for-tat confrontation with? On the contrary, he remembered another thing because of this, but he also asked: "I heard that Qianqiu also recruited Zhong Liang's nephew Zhong Ling, what was the result?" ”
The latter question is okay, the old lady Yue didn't want to talk about the former issue with others. However, the two around him are also prime ministers, and now the situation has developed to the point where it is on the verge of breaking out, there are some things that can be hidden from the two of them, and some things he must say.
Therefore, he looked around, and when he saw that the three prime ministers were talking, and all the people who had been gathered around avoided the distance, he said softly: "Zhong Ling, a child who thinks too highly of himself, will always recognize the reality. As for the Red Moon Palace Master, it was just a trick in front of outsiders. ”
"That's the close friend and strategist of the pioneer Empress Beiyan, Xiao Qingqing, the county lord of Huoshan."
The title of Huoshan County Lord, Yu Jianzhong, who has not yet reached fifty this year, feels a little unfamiliar, and he only knows where he seems to have heard it. However, Ye Guanghan, who has always paid close attention to the political situation in Beiyan, especially those important figures, suddenly gasped.
"Lord Huoshan? This Xiao Qingqing is the county lord of Huoshan? Hasn't she disappeared for a long time, how could she come to Jinling? ”
"Not only did they come, they stayed for many years." Old lady Yue sighed, but there was not much real smile on her face, "So, if you recruit people, whether it is the emperor or us, you can take a look and see with your own eyes what kind of style the legendary queen of Beiyan was back then." It should have been seen a long time ago, but who knew that there were so many things in Jinling recently. ”
Speaking of this, Old Lady Yue suddenly glanced at the two colleagues, and then suggested: "Last night, Sect Master Zhou of the White Lotus Sect sent Xiao Qingqing's daughter to Tianning Inn to meet her by coincidence, and it turned out that Xiao Qingqing was sick. Sect Master Zhou and Xiaoying went again overnight, and they should have invited the little girl Song from the Rejuvenation View to go for treatment, but when I went to the court at dawn, there was no news from anyone. Would any of you be willing to come with me? ”
was reminded by Ye Guanghan and Old Lady Yue successively, Yu Jianzhong finally remembered that he had indeed heard the title of Huoshan County Lord before. However, as soon as he heard that the old lady Yue planned to meet people in person and pull them in, he couldn't help but feel a little child's play. However, to his complete surprise, Ye Guanghan actually took the first answer.
"I'll go with you! As for how to arrange her, I will decide after reading it. After all, it is rumored that the Northern Yan Emperor once wanted to be a concubine, and I don't want multiple scourges! ”
Yu Jianzhong was stupid.
Xiao Qingqing, whom he knew, was also a somewhat famous Beiyan noblewoman, that is, because of the Empress Beiyan, he had heard of the name, and the so-called strategist was also the first time he had heard of it, not to mention that the Emperor of Beiyan once wanted to take her as a concubine. He wanted to question the truth of this statement, but when he saw that Old Lady Yue and Ye Guanghan were all solemn, he immediately swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
The old lady Yue went from a small official to the prime minister, and the time of the ups and downs of the sea was comparable to his age; Ye Guanghan is also older than him, and he has been immersed in the military department that is most familiar with Beiyan for a long time. It's not surprising that the experience of the two people is better than him, and it's better for him not to show his timidity.
Now that it has been agreed, Old Lady Yue and Ye Guanghan have stepped up their time to do things after returning to the political hall, and they finally stole a little free time when they didn't arrive in the afternoon. If the emperor in the palace summons him, he will tell the truth, and if someone else comes to see him, he will find a little excuse to prevaricate in the past. After explaining this, the two prime ministers retired early.
As soon as they left, Yu Jianzhong summoned a small official assigned to him for his own use, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and transfer a list of important people in Beiyan to me." ”
Xiao Qingqing can inquire again in the future, but if he doesn't have a deep grasp of Beiyan's characters, and encounters this situation in the future, and the Son of Heaven asks, it will not be embarrassing, but a dereliction of duty!
When the two prime ministers traveled, even if they did not have dozens or hundreds of honor guards, in order to prevent people from colliding and guarding against assassins, the necessary forerunners and guards were naturally indispensable. So, when the mighty people arrived in front of the Tianning Inn, the shopkeeper and the two young men greeted them almost like a fart, and they wanted to kowtow when they stepped forward tremblingly.
The old lady Yue, who got off the sedan chair one step earlier, smiled and waved her hand to stop it, and then asked with a pleasant face: "I heard that the guest who lives here with you is sick, is the situation better?" ”
The old shopkeeper almost trembled in his voice, and it was easy to squeeze out a sentence: "People have never come out, and the little ones don't know." ”
Ye Guanghan got off the sedan car one step later, and couldn't help but be extremely impatient when he heard this stammering voice. He said bluntly: "What time is wasted here, don't you know when you meet someone?" ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw that extremely familiar figure come out of it, came straight to the old lady Yue, and after simply bowing his hand, he said, "Old lady, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has just arrived." The condition of the one inside is really not very good, I heard that you and Ye Xiangye are here, she said please let the two of you go in together, and you have something to say together to save trouble! ”
