Chapter 499: The Coming Apex
When he saw the little official who reported the news and retreated, Old Lady Yue's eyes naturally fell on Zhao Qingya, whose face was like ashes. He didn't look at Pei Xu, who was gloomy, but came to Zhao Qingya. He held the man's arm, and did not say anything to mourn, but whispered, "How about going out and taking a breath?" β
Zhao Qingya nodded stiffly, and when he staggered out of the political hall and came to the empty place in front of him, two lines of tears rolled out of his eyes: "At my age, my parents are long gone, but although my mother is here, she never wants to come to Jinling with me, saying that she will take care of my brothers and nephews at home, so as not to cause trouble for me." β
"And she really did. Over the years, although the Zhao family has not had amazing talents, there have never been unscrupulous children who have corrupted the family style, which is the result of her efforts to control her children and grandchildren when she is nearly ninety. Everyone thinks that brocade clothes and jade food are happiness, but I have always felt that I have always felt that I have to make fun of my grandson when I am old, and I don't have to worry about it every day, that is happiness, and from this level, I am sorry for her old man......"
Old lady Yue knew that Zhao Qingya didn't want his own comfort, so he just played the most perfect and patient listener. It wasn't until a long time had passed that Zhao Qingya's almost muttered words under the sudden emotional outburst finally finished speaking, and he sighed deeply.
"No matter what, Ling Tang is already a rare longevity. Lingtang has been so attentive to the children all these years, and in the future, the Zhao family will flourish and be full of talents, and when worshipping the ancestral hall, who will forget her kindness to the descendants of the blessings? The most in this world is that the son wants to raise and does not wait, I think that my parents died before I got married, and then my father-in-law who was very good to me died, and then I was clumsy and died before my son became an adult, if it weren't for my sons growing up well, my reputation as a relative would have spread. β
After all, Zhao Qingya has been an official for many years, and it was inevitable that his mood would be unavoidable at first, but as he spoke, he was actually in a stable mood, just taking advantage of the confession to observe whether his colleague, who had always been shrewd and powerful, could not help it. However, seeing the melancholy on the face of the old lady Yue, as if he was reminiscing about his deceased relatives, he gradually dispelled his original thoughts.
Even if Old Lady Yue really covets his position as prime minister, so what? How could he leave his mother's aftermath behind and not go to the throne? If the political affairs hall is really his dictatorship, and there will be no one as soon as he leaves, which will lead to disorder in national politics, or just a national disaster or military disaster, then that's it, now is definitely not the time to use such a regulation!
He made up his mind, and then said sincerely: "You and I have been colleagues for many years, and now that I am gone, you take over as prime minister, the emperor is naturally relieved, but I am afraid that whether it is Shilin or the family, they will all try their best to obstruct it." I will do my best to restrain my protΓ©gΓ©s, but I can't guarantee how many people will listen to me. β
"I understand your heart." Old lady Yue smiled slightly, and her wrinkled face showed strong confidence, "I have been sailing against the current all my life, fighting with the sky, the earth, and people, and I have never been afraid of the enemy. Moreover, once a person has no enemies, he will not have the fighting spirit. There are enemies, and those who are always afraid of my sole authority can rest assured. β
Zhao Qingya couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he smile: "I thought you would be humble, after all, looking at Pei Xu like that, he was afraid that he would immediately go back and gather his henchmen to fight with you." β
"When have I ever been afraid of him?" Old lady Yue raised her chin contemptuously and disdainfully, and then said lightly, "If the third person in the political hall was not him, maybe I would still want to let go, but since it is him, heh, the position of prime minister falls into his hands, then it is called terrible!" But you, if I could, I would prefer to partner with you, you really don't want to take love? β
"Loyalty and filial piety can't be both, that's what soldiers need to worry about in war, civil officials like me, if they don't even talk about filial piety, then it's better to be a pig and a dog. If you can, I want you to advise the emperor about this matter, and you don't even have to give this will. I have been in the political hall for so many years, even if the children and grandchildren in the family are restrained by the old mother, they must have an arrogant heart, let them know that I am worried this time, and the emperor does not even have the intention of issuing an edict to win love, and it can also make these arrogant boys think that I have lost power and restrained a little. β
Old lady Yue didn't expect Zhao Qingya to come up with this trick, and after being stunned for a while, he couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he stroked his neatly combed mustache, tilted his head and asked, "But have you ever thought about it, if you really write to ask Ding Wei, if the emperor doesn't even have the intention of retaining, he will seem very affectionate?" β
Seeing that Zhao Qingya's face suddenly froze, the old lady Yue blinked and said: "All in all, it's not up to you to decide whether to win the favor or not, you have to control your children and grandchildren, you can use other methods, but the idea of beating the emperor is not successful." β
After saying this, the old lady Yue turned around and left with his hands. Zhao Qingya looked at his slow and methodical appearance, and he was not without caution in his heart. With his departure, this colleague, who has gone step by step from the grassroots to the present and is about to become prime minister, will truly stand at the apex of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs. According to the other party's temperament all along, he can obviously be very relieved, why is he a little uneasy now?
No matter how strong and powerful the old lady is, he can't eradicate Shilin and the family, right?
When Zhao Qingya staggered back to the political hall, he saw that this place was empty, and Old Lady Yue and Pei Xu had already left. Thinking that this might be his last day here, he couldn't help but look around, his heart full of mixed feelings.
In any case, he once stood at the highest point above ten thousand people under one person in this huge country, once pointed out the country, and now he should be content. After three years of worry, he doesn't have to seek a comeback, and it is enough to enjoy Qingfu at home.
At this moment, Zhao Qingya saw a little official at the door with his head poked his head, and immediately frowned and shouted: "What are you doing there, if you have something to say!" β
The little official was originally a person who Zhao Qingya had cultivated over the years, and when he heard this order, he hurriedly walked in, bowed and said in a low voice: "Xiangye, I just got the news that Zhong Ling of the Wenhua Pavilion took people to the Wuying Pavilion to communicate today, and the result seems to be a big defeat." Moreover, Zhong Ling's uncle, Zhong Liang, the squire of the military department, also went to ......"
briefly explained to Zhao Qingya what happened in the Wuying Pavilion today, and seeing that the prime minister who was about to sue Ding Wei had a very strange face, the little official cautiously asked: "Xiangye, Lord Zhong is suddenly competing with the elder Xiangye, will it be ......?"
"Needless to say, since everything happens to be in a hurry, they can do whatever they like, anyway, I can't control it in the future." Zhao Qingya stretched out his hand to signal the little official not to continue, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, if Zhong Liang knew that he was about to worry, how shocked would his face be.
But no matter what, within the imperial party, I am afraid that it will have to go through a reshuffle. How could the old lady Yue, who has never been soft-hearted, tolerate a person like Zhong Liang...... Wait, didn't that shrewd old man already know the news of his mother's death, if he deliberately tricked Zhong Liang's impatient guy to jump out, right?
The news that Prime Minister Zhao Qingya was about to mourn his mother swept the entire officialdom like a whirlwind. At the same time, there was also the conflict between Yue Qianqiu and Zhong Liang.
But anyone who hates the old lady Yue, when he thinks that he is about to become the prime minister, it is naturally an uproar, Pei Xu returned home early and summoned his henchmen to discuss, Zhong Liang also visited people non-stop, and for a while, chickens and dogs jumped in Jinling City.
However, the old lady still returned home on time as usual. When he got out of the sedan chair, he found that the porters were all happy, but no one came up to shout any congratulations or anything like that, and he couldn't help nodding secretly. But he didn't take a few steps to enter the door, and saw the second master and the third master come out together, and the two of them were all overjoyed, and he suddenly stopped.
"Daddy!" shouted first, and the third master was about to say congratulations, but when he saw the old man's deep pupils, he couldn't help but swallow the two words on his lips, and even the smile on his face froze.
The second master of Yue was not much better, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said with a smiling face: "Dad, you have worked hard." β
"I work hard every day, and I don't see you understanding me every day."
The old lady Yue said ironically with a straight face, and when he saw that his two sons were silent, he couldn't help but sigh secretly that the two in the middle were really not raised, but they still didn't say it in the end. He hooked his hand and motioned for them to follow, and only after entering the second gate did he say lightly: "Remember, even if I really become the prime minister, I am not worth being happy about." β
The two brothers, who followed in the footsteps of the old father, glanced at each other, and they were both stunned. They exchanged glances with each other, and the second master Yue was the first to say: "Dad, don't worry, we understand, and we will definitely not go around to cause trouble for you." β
"It's not a question of swagger or not, but there is a tough battle to be fought next, and there is no time to do this."
Old lady Yue stopped, turned her head, and swept her sharp gaze to the faces of her two sons, and then said word by word: "Your eldest brother and fourth brother are all desperate to do what they think they should do, you two are in happiness, and you can't do anything else, so don't make a mess." Give me honesty these days and go out less. β
The old father suddenly mentioned the fourth brother who had run away from home for more than ten years, and his words revealed that he seemed to know the situation of people well. Although he wanted to ask for an understanding, he didn't dare to take risks, so he could only find another way to start with Yue Qianqiu.
He barely showed a smile: "Dad, you have to say this to Qianqiu, if you want to make trouble, no one in the family can beat him." β
Hearing this, Old Lady Yue immediately smiled, but the words she said were very cold: "Even if Qianqiu causes trouble, it is also very measured, he is causing trouble within the scope I assigned to him, and he is messing with the person I want him to provoke, why should I talk about him?" One day, if you have the ability to cause trouble everywhere for me, but every time you can get out of it, I will be relieved! β
