On this night, Du Shiyi, a member of the Chinese scholars, happened to not be on duty, even so, because he was trying his best to find a way to divide the power of the officials from Pei Guangting and Li Linfu, so he had some other preparations to do, and when he returned home, it was already after the night curfew. Fortunately, he, a high-ranking official on the top five grades, is also a person who Wuhou needs to tie up, and he returned late for official business rather than private affairs, Wuhou not only opened the door of the workshop, but also escorted him all the way to the door of the house, and only left after getting the reward.

And after Du Shiyi dismounted in front of the door and threw the reins to his entourage, he learned a news from Chibi's mouth that he did not expect.

"You mean, the third senior brother and the jade slave came together today, and then Guangyuan Quanchong entertained the two of them, and also kept someone for dinner?"

Chibi nodded vigorously, and seeing that Du Shiyi was still incredulous, he smiled bitterly: "I didn't see Xiao Langjun's ability to coax people before, but today I have learned it." Pei Sanlang is such a cold-faced person, but he is often told by his left and right sentences, my grandfather often talks about how the third master and uncle, and he laughs heartily several times. As for the Taizhen lady, he almost called everyone out of one sister, if it weren't for the fact that the Taizhen lady was in the filial piety period and didn't bring anything with her, otherwise she would almost have to take it out as a gift. Xiao Langjun took the two of them around the whole house, and when he left, he personally delivered them to the door and invited them to come often. ”

This is talking about his son who is honest in front of Wang Rong and often spoils and fools in front of him? You're not talking about someone else, are you?

Du Shiyi was angry and funny, when he learned that his son was still holding on to his sleep so late, and was waiting for his father to come back, he told Chibi to call Du Guangyuan to his study, and then instructed Qiu Niang to prepare a supper. When he arrived at the study, he took off the big coat outside and handed it to Wu Tianqi, and then saw Du Guangyuan enter the door. The little guy made a deep bow in a decent way, called Grandpa, and he beckoned to call the person to him.

"Your third uncle and sister came over together today, how did you entertain them?"

Although Chibi had already said a rough idea, when Du Guangyuan began to talk about today's two guests, seeing that they were excitedly talking and gesturing, Du Shiyi did not interrupt, and patiently listened to his son tell today's various things in incoherent sentences, whether it was that the cold noodle master was very good, the senior sister was beautiful and gentle, and what dishes did the two of them like the most at dinner...... The words came straight into his heart from his ears, and he unconsciously smiled very happily. Gently rubbing the little guy's head, he asked in a low voice, "Guangyuan, do you miss your aunt and sister?" ”

"Think" Du Guangyuan replied almost without thinking, and then looked up at his father and asked, "Grandpa, can't Grandpa and my sister really come back to celebrate the New Year with us?" ”

"Probably not." Du Shiyi saw that the little guy immediately showed a disappointed expression, so he took it in his arms and said in a low voice, "Originally, it was not only your aunt and sister, even you would stay in Yunzhou." The first time you left your aunt for so long, did you regret it? ”

"Regrets? Grandpa, what is regret? Du Guangyuan asked in wonder, and when he saw that his father didn't answer, he shook his head after thinking about it and said, "A-Niang has a younger sister, as well as an aunt and uncle, and Aunt Gu'an, and it will definitely be a lively New Year." If I don't come to Luoyang, Grandpa will be alone, and I'm willing to accompany Grandpa."

"Good boy"

Tong Yan was unscrupulous, and when she heard her son's words, Du Shiyi only felt warm in her heart. And at this moment, Du Guangyuan whispered again: "Grandpa, I saw my sister for the first time today, although she was very good to me, gentle and kind, she seemed to have something on her mind. Moreover, when I saw her off, I asked her to come back at any time, and she promised yes, but I always felt ...... I always feel ......"

"What do you think?"

"I think my sister may not come again." When he said this, Du Guangyuan himself felt a little bad, and quickly shook his head and said, "It should just be that I read it wrong." ”

"If your senior sister knows the way, but she only saw you once, and you saw so many secrets, she really didn't dare to come next time" Du Shiyi knew that for the young son, some things were not yet explained, so when the voice of the maid announcing that the supper had been prepared outside, he saw that the little guy's eyes were shining, and he was obviously greedy, so he smiled and ordered someone to send it in. Sure enough, when Du Guangyuan found out that the so-called supper was a bowl of oil tea fried with oil noodles, he suddenly had a bitter face.

"Grandpa, you stay up late every day to eat this?"

"What do you think I'm eating on your back?" Du Shiyi knocked on the little guy's head melon seeds, and when the others sent another cup of ginseng chicken soup, he deliberately opened the lid for Du Guangyuan to take a look, and then said with a smile, "See, this is ginseng chicken soup, if you want to eat it, I will ask someone to serve you a bowl too."

"No need, no need" Du Guangyuan quickly shook his head like a rattle, and then salivated and said, "Grandpa, you're busy, I'll go to sleep first"

Seeing that the little guy slipped away immediately, Du Shiyi couldn't help but wonder. If you want to say that Du Guangyuan doesn't like the most, it must be ginseng, no one was three years old because he was curious about the ginseng tablets that Wang Rong took, Du Guangyuan actually stole a piece to eat, and as a result, the unforgettable memory made the little guy never touch ginseng until now, as for the dishes made with ginseng, even if there is more sauce, he will definitely be able to taste it. However, when he sent his son away in this way, he sat in the huge study and drank the hot chicken soup, but he was a little delirious.

Zhang Xing went to the Cui family library again, and Xian Yu Zhongtong went to see Wei Zheng on his behalf, as for himself...... The next selection is crucial, whether the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion can be demoted, and Wang Han is promoted to the Yunzhou Assassin History, and even whether Wei Li and his team can be put in various positions, it depends on this real fight It's a pity that he couldn't see Pei Ning today, otherwise many things can be discussed immediately and a charter

Layue is a critical moment for the winter election of the officials, because Pei Guangting has not yet recovered from his illness, and Li Linfu, as a servant of the ministry, is constantly busy. However, now that there is a Wei Zhi in the Ministry of Langzhong, and Du Shiyi has a Pei Ning stuffed in, although the two are more supervisors, but he still feels like a thorn in his back. What made him even more shocked and angry was that when the letter came out from the palace, he actually told him in cryptic words that because of the fraud in the previous examination book, the Son of Heaven suspected that the selection was unfair. Li Longji's suspicion was not the first day, he was supposed to be frank, but in the evening of this day, Pei Guangting invited him to his home.

"Your Majesty is suspicious that there will be some injustice in this year's election, so according to the old law that was in the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, use the Shiquan method, and let Your Majesty select high-ranking officials such as Shangshu and Shilang of various ministries to be selected this year."

Pei Guangting saw Li Linfu's face with an incredible expression, he took a deep breath and said word by word: "They all questioned the fact that I couldn't use talents based on qualifications, but I didn't want to think about it, how can there be a good way to satisfy everyone Since there are ten people, then everyone will have their own selfishness, and when the time comes, they will all be revealed at once, and their true colors will be made public for everyone to see, what justice, what fate, what integrity, what loyalty, all are pretense, what they really think, It's not cronyism yet."

Li Linfu didn't expect Pei Guangting to use the most despised Yu Wenrong method, and he didn't expect Pei Guangting to have such a chilling meaning when he used Shiquan. Although he was also very annoyed by the recent passive beating, and wanted to make a sharp counterattack, but he has not yet reached the pinnacle of power, if he really follows Pei Guangting's idea, he will take it if he wants to, and he must give it first, then he doesn't know how many people Lu Dao will offend when he turns back

So, he looked at Pei Guangting, who was flushed, and pretended to agree first, and waited until the very sick prime minister lay down and gradually fell asleep, he crept out of the back room, just in time to see his wife Wu Shi glancing at him, he immediately followed quietly.

Along the way, he turned around and around, and never met an idle person, and when he finally stepped into a quiet small building, Li Linfu saw that Wu's eyes were like silk, and he didn't wait for him to throw himself into his arms, so he immediately smiled and stepped forward to hug her waist. A pair of old lovers kept warm for a while, until their clothes faded to the couch and slept with the same bed, Li Linfu asked in a low voice: "Brother Pei, what's going on, you suddenly came up with such a ruthless trick?" You must know that if this hand is successful, he may not be able to hold power alone in the political affairs hall, and if it fails, he will not be able to say that he will not succeed, and his popularity will be lost."

Talking about these big things when lingering, the Wu family was naturally a little unhappy, but after all, Li Linfu was more than ten years younger than her husband, and that kind of majestic wind between gallops was something that Pei Guangting didn't have. While enjoying the wave of pleasure, she said angrily: "It's not because I found out that His Majesty had some doubts about the selection of the officials, and he was half angry after telling him. But if you want me to say, he has always been a good gentleman, and this time he was just forced to be anxious......"

"That's not the case, how many prime ministers have Your Majesty used in the past, and which prime minister is not ready for the person he fancies? What Your Majesty cares about is that you can't put incompetent people and people who are corrupt and corrupt in their morals and corrupt in high positions, and you can't use your power for personal gain too much, at least you have to seek personal gain, and you have to make some political achievements. As for other times, if you are a little biased towards your own people, Your Majesty will not care" Li Linfu tried his best to benefit Wu Shixiao, until the old lover twisted his body to express impatience, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Let me ask you, whether Brother Pei's illness is severe or mild, there will be no ......"

"Phew" Wu Shi smacked Li Linfu angrily, "I'm not enough of the prime minister's wife, anyway, I know what you said, I try my best to persuade him, but he has never listened to me in major matters outside, so don't expect it to be effective." You yourself are a servant of the ministry, you might as well think of a way, don't you also have a way in the palace? ”

The way in the palace?

Li Linfu laughed, he wanted to ridicule the Wu clan for being too naïve, but suddenly he thought of a rumor, and an extremely subtle expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Whether it succeeds or fails, it's not a bad thing to give it a try
