The person who came was still Kong Xun.

Greet the ceremony, sit down, and order the tea.

An Chongzhi first asked Kong Xun: "Last time, when I talked about King Qin's eastward journey, you wanted to do something secret, has this matter been properly arranged?" "It's still a squinting look.

"An Gong can rest assured that everything has been arranged. King Qin's eastward journey this time is bound to be wonderful. Kong Xun laughed twice, "Not to mention whether the handling of the displaced people in the state and county is appropriate, it is good that he can take care of himself." Thinking about our King Qin, the posture of receiving orders at the court meeting that day, but his spirit was tense, he thought that he could get a good reputation this time when he traveled east, but he was really naïve. Slippery, Pu is not Huai, Meng, he is not the envoy of the Huazhou Festival, there is not his territory! ”

An Chongzhi looked at Kong Xun's villain face a little forcefully, but this also made him feel at ease, if Kong Xun was really a righteous and rigorous style, then it made him jealous. An Chongzhi straightened his waist, sat meticulously, and snorted coldly when he heard this: "Master Kong, what are these words, the whole world belongs to His Majesty, and King Qin is the prince, so you can't go anywhere in the world!" ”

"Yes, yes, what Gong An said is very true, it is the lower official who lost his words." Kong Xun nodded, with a respectful and flattering look, "In short, Gong An can rest assured, all the subordinates have been arranged, and they will definitely not disappoint you." ”

An Chongzhi nodded coldly, not looking happy about it, and he was really happy and angry. The two talked for a while, and An Chongzhu informed Kong Xun of the letter from the palace, and said: "Befriending King Zhao is our top priority, and now there is this opportunity, it is really rare, this palace is determined to express gratitude, I don't know what Lord Kong has to add?" ”

Kong Xun was not as happy as An Chongzhi expected, on the contrary, he was shocked when he heard this, "Gong An, is this matter serious?" ”

An Chongzhi was impatient, but it was not revealed in his tone, "Can this matter be fake?" You can't be happy when you are your father-in-law! ”

Kong Xun sighed, straightened his clothes, got up and bowed to An Chong, and said solemnly: "Gong An, if you have to talk too much, this matter must not be!" ”

An Zhongzhu Buddha was displeased, but although he despised Kong Xun's usual behavior, he still recognized Kong Xun's insight in his heart, regarded him as his right-hand man, and would not have married him as a family of children if not. Humming cold air from his nostrils, An Chongzhi asked, "Why not?" ”

Kong Xun didn't return to his seat, he stood in front of An Chongzhu, and said earnestly: "May I ask An Gong, now in the court, when it comes to the dignity and power of the court, who is the leader among the ministers?" ”

An Chongzhi did not answer. Because the answer was obvious, he didn't bother to answer, or rather didn't want to answer directly.

Kong Xun didn't think about it, and continued to ask: "May I ask Gong An again, Your Majesty started from the end of Wei, went through the battlefield and the sea for decades, and now succeeded to the throne, can you be called a Ming Jun?" ”

"Your Majesty, of course, is Mingjun!" Ann reinvented.

"In this way, Xia Guan San asked An Gong, has An Gong ever heard that under the rule of Ming Jun, the powerful ministers are in charge, and Ming Jun can tolerate it? Even if there is an old relationship, Mingjun has never been afraid, doesn't Mingjun mind at all? Kong Xun asked questions one after another, with a sincere attitude.

An Chongzhi frowned and stopped talking.

Kong Xun said again: "The lower official asked An Gong again, His Majesty the Imperial Court has always respected An Gong's intentions, but he ignored An Gong's proposal and took Li Qi as the prime minister, isn't there any other deep meaning in this?" ”

What can be the deep meaning, it is nothing more than beating and warning, so that the ministers should not be too arbitrary and presumptuous.

An Chongzhi thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but doubt his heart, pondered for a moment, and hesitated.

"If a courtier is too powerful, he can't tolerate it, let alone someone who is as wise as His Majesty?" Kong Xun bowed down again, quite bitter, "Gong An, right now in the court, there are still King Qin and Ren Gong can compete with you a little, if once you marry your daughter and King Zhao, the power is as strong as the sun, and the stars are lost, who else in the world can shake you?" Since ancient times, it is very easy to break, prosperous and easy to decay, why should this Li'an Gong be mentioned by the officials! ”

An Chongzhu was in a dilemma and hesitated.

Kong Xun sighed, softened his tone, and said: "I think that back then, Guo Gong brought the first merit of destroying Liang, for Zhuangzong's preference, entered the privy council, worshiped the prince of the county, gave iron coupons, forgave ten deaths, and weighed for a while. The success of the war in Shu was stopped, and the reputation was admired by the world, and the princes all looked sideways. And once he was jealous of the king, he was broken by the eunuchs, and his body was destroyed, how sad! We cannot ignore the lessons of the past. After a pause, he added: "Rao is the situation is slightly better, Your Majesty is merciful, but I am afraid that it will be inevitable to release the feudal town, and Duke An wishes that this is the case?" ”

After a long while, An Zhong sighed: "After all, this matter was brought up by His Majesty on his own initiative."

"It is precisely because His Majesty took the initiative to mention it that I have to be even more cautious!" Kong Xun was heartbroken, "How can Gong An not want to, this move may be a temptation by His Majesty?" ”

An Chongzhu: ""

After a long time, An Chongzhi got up and saluted Kong Xun, "If it weren't for the adult's reminder this time, this father would be in danger!" ”

Kong Xun hurriedly returned the salute, "The lower official and Duke An are both honored and disgraced, how dare you accept such a big gift from Duke An!" ”

This time, An Chongzhi sent Kong Xun out of the house.

"My father immediately entered the palace to face the saint and thank him for this matter." An Chongzhi said goodbye to Kong Xunfu.

Kong Xun sat in the carriage, his tense face melted for a moment, and he finally laughed out loud.

"Adults behave like this, but it fits the four big characters of 'villain'!" In front of Kong Xun, Sang Weihan shook his head and sighed.

"Overseas Chinese Hugh has to make fun of me!" Kong Xun smiled, flicked his sleeves, and looked proud and proud, "If you see An Chongzhi's sincere thanks, I'm afraid that you can't help but laugh on the spot, I am considered to have a good heart!" ”

Sang Weihan said lightly: "The human nature of adults is naturally not comparable to that of lower officials. From now on, the adults no longer have to grovel in front of An Gong and force laughter, and the anger of enduring months will finally be relieved, and turning over will be tomorrow, and the lower officials will congratulate the adults in advance. ”

"Can you not speak so badly!" Kong Xun scolded with a smile, suddenly realized something, his face suddenly turned cold, and he stared at Sang Weihan: "How do you know that this official has endured for months?" You already knew about the official's plan?! ”

Sang Weihan smiled freely, and didn't care about Kong Xun's forced gaze, "Although the lower officials are proud of their talents and pretentious, they are not so arrogant that they think that they can move adults and An Gong against each other with what they said the day before yesterday." The adults have become more and more respectful in front of An Gong these days, and they have fallen to the point where people can't bear to look at them directly, if it weren't for the deliberate imminent success, I'm afraid it can't be like this, right? ”

Kong Xun's face changed.

Sang Weihan is right.

As a privy envoy, in terms of official position, is he much worse than An Chongzhi? These days, he has grovelled in front of An Zhongzhi, always claiming to be a subordinate official, and dealing with himself as a subordinate everywhere, is he really willing and has a tendency to be abused? Of course not.

When the fox sneers at you and wags its tail and begs for mercy, it means that its claws are up to your throat, and all it does is to paralyze you and take your life.

As early as when Zhu Wen was proclaimed emperor, he Kong Xun was already a privy envoy, in terms of status and qualifications, where was An Chongzhi at that time! Now that An Chongzhu is rampant and domineering, his eyes are empty, how can Kong Xun be willing to live behind others and not have the heart to compete for power and profit with him?

Kong Xun thought to himself, neither of them is much smarter than the other, and neither is much more incompetent than the other, why can you hold the power in your hands, and I will follow you to eat the scraps? There is no such thing in the world!

Kong Xun stared at Sang Weihan with cold eyes, as if he was going to eat him, "Don't you think that people are sometimes too smart to be a good thing?" ”

Sang Weihan was fearless and said with a smile: "It is not a bad thing for people to be smart, and it is a great sin to hide their wisdom. Master Kong, do you think this is the reason? ”

Kong Xun was stunned, and couldn't help laughing, "Guoqiao, Guoqiao, you are really the best!" ”

Sang Weihan looked sideways out the window, the street was full of people, and he whispered, "Who says it's not!" ”

In the afternoon, the sky was overcast, the sun did not know where to hide, the dark clouds did not show their true bodies, and the colors of the sky were mixed like a huge curtain, shrouded in the earth, and it was just like a big pot lid, covering the mountains and rivers.

Sang Weihan sat in a teahouse, turning the teacup on the table with his left hand, and looked at the Confucian Mansion across the street.

He is not a member of Kong Xun's staff, he has an official status, and he was also a jinshi and a first. He was in the company of Kong Xun and gave him advice, in Kong Xun's opinion, he was tending to be inflammatory, and he wanted to rely on his Kong Xun's big tree to enjoy the shade.

However, since he can say the remarks of "trees fall down and people are destroyed" and "trees can kill", how can he climb Kong Xun, an old tree that is not stout?

The business of the teahouse is light, there are few people in the hall, Xiao Er fell asleep on a table, saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth to the table, accumulating a large pool, crystal clear. The shopkeeper has been settling accounts behind the counter, he has been calculating for more than an hour, and he doesn't know how this small shop with a weak business needs to be counted by him.

Sang Weihan didn't care about this, he had seen a lot of people, there was nothing surprising, wasn't he one of the scenes?

The door of the Confucian Mansion opened, and Kong Xun walked out in an official robe and got into the carriage in front of the door.

Today is the day of Kong Xun's rest, there is no need to be on duty, he is dressed like this, but he is clearly going to enter the palace.

Of course, Sang Weihan knew what happened to Kong Xun entering the palace.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door of the teahouse, and Sang Weihan looked sideways and saw two people.

One man and one woman, the man wore a plain robe, the woman wore a red robe, the man was very young, and the woman was even younger.

Behind the two men, a horse-drawn carriage was passing by in the street, its wheels were very old, and it creaked and screaked on the street. Beside the carriage, there was a porter carrying two loads of dying vegetables, flashing forward. There were also some other passers-by, looking hurried.

The weak sunlight shone out of nowhere, through the doors and windows, past a man and a woman in front of the door, and hit Sang Weihan in the face.

Sang Weihan's eyes were in a trance

A man and a woman walked straight towards Sang Weihan, he stood up, and the woman sat down straight at the table, and the man smiled at Sang Weihan and sat down at the table.

"Kong Xun is going to enter the palace, right?" The woman in the red dress rested her hands on the table, propped her chin, and looked out the window.

Sang Weihan knew that he should answer, and said with his head bowed: "The day before yesterday, An Chongzhi entered the palace to thank him for the marriage, which made the Wang family's good intentions fall through. Kong Xun has asked a eunuch to express to the Wang family that he is willing to marry his daughter to King Zhao as his wife, he is so funny, the Wang family is naturally happy to Li Dai Taozhuang, and today Kong Xun entered the palace because of this matter. ”

"Kong Xun is really a good abacus!" The woman chuckled, her eyes were like moon buds, revealing a pair of bright teeth, "I wonder how An Chongzhi will react when he hears about this?" ”

"An Chongzhu knew that he was being played by Kong Xun, so he was naturally annoyed and angry, so he had to play and ask Kong Xun to be transferred." Sang Weihan said with a smile, "In this way, An Chongzhi and Kong Xun have become enemies, which can be regarded as self-destruction, and they can only protect themselves in the future!" ”

The red-robed woman turned her head to look at Sang Weihan, leaned over to him, looked into his eyes and asked, "Betraying the old master makes you so happy?" ”

"Kong Xun is not my lord," Sang Weihan immediately defended.

However, before he finished speaking, his body suddenly froze, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

The dagger that the woman stabbed into Sang Weihan's abdomen twisted forward and backward several times, and whispered in his ear: "The seller today will definitely be the same seller tomorrow, how dare we be in the company of such a person?" ”

Sang Weihan slowly collapsed under the table, watching the man and woman walk out, their feet getting farther and farther away, he covered his abdomen with one hand, and stretched out his other hand, trying to grab something, but he couldn't catch anything.

He saw Xiao Er and the shopkeeper standing together at some point, and they all looked down on him with contempt and mockery.

Sang Weihan felt that there were many colors in front of him, like butterflies flying, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't have the slightest strength.

It's cold. He thought
