Chapter 416: Sadness and Sorrow
"The emperor will let the crown prince supervise the country?"
Cao Gang was a little puzzled, and he didn't know from which point Xiao Mo could see that Zhao Quan would hand over the military power to Zhao Ziji now.
Xiao Mo replied: "My lord, as courtiers, we must not discuss the holy will in vain!" If adults have doubts about Xiao Mo's words, they might as well prepare with both hands. One is to wait for the emperor to let the crown prince supervise the country; The second is to send a fast horse to Shandong to let Li Zhun come back. ”
"Master Li?" Cao Gang said with some embarrassment: "Lord Li is coming back now?" Inappropriate ......"
What Cao Gang means is that Ji Ping has just taken office as governor of the government, and now if Li Zhun is allowed to come back, where will he put his position?
Let Li Zhun be above Ji Ping, this Ji Ping is already a governor of political affairs; Let Li Zhun be under Ji Ping...... Not to mention themselves, even the other ministers would feel embarrassed.
Li Zhun has always been the leader of these old ministers......
"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo asked rhetorically, and then replied to himself: "Didn't the emperor say it?" The prince and the prince must be Master Li, this meaning is already very clear. Now is the right time to summon Master Li back! ”
After pondering for a long time, Cao just nodded and said, "That's right! Now it's time to summon Master Li back, it's indeed time to ......."
After thinking about it, Cao Gang asked again: "But this Shandong comes and goes, and it will take at least ten days for Master Li to return to Beijing...... Isn't it too long? Moreover, Master Li is back, what should Shandong do? Although the White Lotus Sect has been broken, there are many remnants of the party, and it must be further eliminated...... If Master Li is summoned back, he must send a capable person to Shandong to preside over the overall situation! ”
Xiao Mo said: "The adults are thoughtful, Xiao Mo admires!" Xiao Mo has two candidates here, one is Xiao Mo's old boss, Li Ji, the son of Lord Li; And the other one is ...... Lord Cao, you! ”
"Me?" Cao Gang looked at Xiao Mo in surprise when he heard this, the expression on his face was wonderful, stunned, puzzled, and a little unhappy!
I am a dignified privy envoy, a quasi-first and auxiliary figure in the court, you let me run to Shandong for no reason?
Xiao Mo smiled slightly, and said to Cao Gang: "Lord Cao, the war in Shandong has basically been pacified, and the land of northern Lu is left, but it is just a gesture!" If Lord Cao really wants to fight this battle with the Liao State, then someone in the court must stand up and bear this dereliction of duty! ”
"You mean......" Cao Gang finally understood: "Let the old man hide the military situation at the border pass, and when everything is ripe, he will report to the emperor, and then take the blame and retreat to Shandong?" ”
Xiao Mo nodded and said: "Lord Cao, don't worry, Shandong will soon be pacified, after the pacification, the war in the northwest will be tight, and the imperial court will naturally drop your lord and return to Beijing!" ”
Cao Gang understood, nodded to Xiao Mo and said, "It is worthy of Xiao Ziheng, today really opened the old man's eyes...... Haha, according to Ziheng's words, the old man will suffer this loss for the time being......"
"Wait!"
Seeing that Cao Gang had the intention of saying goodbye, Xiao Mo hurriedly stopped him.
"Ziheng still has something?" Cao Gang asked.
Xiao Mo said: "I want to ask the court for a ......"
"Dignitaries ......" Cao Gang smiled and said to Xiao Mo: "Ziheng should go to Lord Ji!" ”
Xiao Mo nodded and said, "The juniors know, but it's too late now, and I didn't know what the Liao Kingdom was going to do before, but now I know...... I need manpower, and I want to go to Luzhou with me! ”
Cao Gang asked, "What does Ziheng mean, let the old man tell Master Ji for you?" ”
Xiao Mo nodded and said, "Not bad...... I've never objected! Xiao Mo knew that now that the imperial court was employing people, there would not be too many requirements, but one person was needed, and this person was not from the imperial court, Xiao Mo brought it down from Liangshan! ”
The people above Liangshan? Not a member of the imperial court? Isn't that hard to say?
"Okay!" Cao Gang finally nodded in agreement and asked, "Who does Ziheng want?" ”
Xiao Mo said: "Now the city guard of Jining, Shandong, Gongsun Bo!" ”
"Gongsun Bo?" Cao Gang confirmed it, and when he saw Xiao Mo nodding, he got up and said, "Ziheng, don't worry, the old man will definitely bring the words!" It's not getting early, old man...... That's the farewell. ”
"Slow down, adults!"
Xiao Mo sent Cao Gang out of the study and delivered it to the door of Xiao's house before saying goodbye to Cao Gang.
After Cao Gang left, Yun Xue patted Xiao Mo on the shoulder behind him.
"Haven't slept so late?" Xiao Mo saw that it was Yun Xue, so he asked with a smile.
Yun Xue said: "I can't sleep...... Ziheng is leaving tomorrow! ”
"So?" Xiao Mo smiled and asked, "Are you reluctant?" ”
"Poor mouth!" Yun Xue glanced at Xiao Mo and said, "Ziheng, my mother's bones are not cold, you can't mess around......"
"Messing around?" Xiao Mo was surprised and asked, "What is the chaos?" ”
Yun Xue's cheeks flushed when she heard this, and she said hatefully: "You just tease me!" …… You obviously know what I'm talking about, anyway, Yunxue doesn't care, during the period of filial piety, Ziheng, if you dare to mess around with the sisters in the family, it will be disrespectful to your mother......"
Xiao Mo heard the black lines in his head, and said in his heart that this girl saw that she was going back to Luzhou, and she couldn't go to Luzhou with her, thinking of Xiao Mo's side of Yingying Yanyan, there were several women, and she felt a little surprised!
"That's it!" Xiao Mo took Yun Xue's hand and said to her, "Yun Xue, don't worry...... I'm not that kind of person who has no sense of proportion! ”
"I know......" Yun Xue curled her mouth and said, "But I ...... I'm just not happy! ”
Speaking of this, Yun Xue also said what was in her heart.
"In Shen County before, who knew that we would be like this? Who dares to think that Yunxue is actually a princess, and ...... Ziheng too, there used to be only one sister Yu Niang in the family, but now? ”
Xiao Mo heard Yun Xue tell about the bitterness in her heart, and knew that it was really difficult for her to accept that she would share her husband with so many women. What's even more rare is that she has always behaved with a big belly, and never reveals these unhappy thoughts in her heart in front of others.
Now that she has started this slippery talk, Yun Xue has also let go, and simply said all the words in her heart at once: "Yun Xue thinks that she has been with Dingzi in this life, and so is Sister Yu Niang...... Of course, there are also eight sisters, these sisters are all happy by Ziheng, Yunxue can't be stingy, but ...... I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I just hope that Ziheng will be restrained in the future, and never mess with flowers and grass again! Ziheng ......"
Xiao Mo heard Yun Xue finally call to him, and hurriedly responded: "Listen, don't worry...... Ziheng won't be in the future, won't be ......"
said no, but at this moment, Xiao Mo's mind flew to the Huaiyin Palace, remembering the agreement between himself and Zhao Yao today......
