"Lord Zhang, Lord Xu, you two just came out of the palace?" , Peng Yue entered the palace gate, and when he saw Zhang Bi not far away, Xu Zan and the two were walking towards him, and hurriedly said hello. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Oh... It turned out to be Zirui...", the two made a greeting with cold faces, "What? Do you want to enter the palace to meet the emperor? It's not going to be easy..."

Oh, I'll go, do I owe you money? Is it hard to give me a big smile? I don't think there's anything I can do to offend you...

Before Peng Yue could speak, the father-in-law Li who followed behind spoke first, "Two adults, Lord Peng was summoned into the palace by the emperor..."

"Oh?" , Zhang Bi and Xu Zan glanced at each other, then looked at Peng Yue together, and said in a dark voice, "Congratulations to Master Peng..."

"Huh?" , Peng Yue frowned, and then laughed dryly, "Two adults, I don't know what kind of joy you have?" ”

"Of course, congratulations to Zirui on joining the cabinet...", Xu Zan arched his hand, shook his head and smiled, "You don't know yet, Lord Zhang and I... I'm ready to leave the cabinet, hehe... But I didn't expect it to move so fast, and the two of us haven't submitted our resignations yet..."

Xu Zan said, and Zhang Bi also smiled bitterly.

It turned out that Zhang Bi and Xu Zan had been greatly excluded since Yan Song entered the cabinet. But fortunately, there is also Zhai Luan, who is nominally the first assistant of the cabinet, who is on the side and shares the same hatred with them.

But Zhai Luan was also demoted from the court by Zhu Houxi, what else can the two do? can only endure in silence. As cabinet ministers, they haven't even touched the pen of the vote, everything is made by Yan Song himself, what fun do you say this cabinet minister should have? It's a wreck!

Zhang Bi was already short-tempered. This time, the old man almost got angry: we can't get the right to do it. I turned around and took my life. So Old Man Zhang wanted to discuss with Old Man Xu and sum it up. found that Old Man Xu was worse than himself...

Originally, Zhang Bi was a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, although Yan Song used to do this job, but Zhu Houxi's strength to discuss the rites has passed, and Yan Song naturally doesn't care about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

But Xu Zan is different, he is the secretary of the ministry, let me ask how important the personnel department is? Yan Song was naturally covetous, so he took advantage of his convenience in the cabinet to snatch Xu Zan's personnel appointment and dismissal power. If you want to say anything, you can't compare to the emperor's favor, he Yan Song is blatantly like this. Xu Zan had no choice but to sigh and stare on the side.

The two difficult brothers and brothers combined: Isn't he just a cabinet minister, let's not do it! Not to mention that this cabinet minister is not interesting at all, if he is annoyed by Yan Song one day, and then he is like Zhai Luan, he can't get a good end in the end, it will be too miserable. So the two made a big decision: resign and go home! It's called the rapids retreating, and I'm old anyway. I won't be able to do it for a few years.

But just as they decided to leave, they happened to meet Peng Yue going to the palace, so they couldn't help but think about it too much: what is the relationship between Peng Yue and Yan Song? That's Weng's son-in-law! It seems that Yan Song meant to squeeze the two of them out of the cabinet, and then help Peng Yue in. In this way, won't the cabinet become their family?

What a plan, what a plan! Think of this possibility. Both Xu Zan and Zhang Bi involuntarily threw a contemptuous glance at Peng Yue.

Peng Yue saw the change in their expressions, and couldn't help but say a little apologetically. "Lord Zhang, Lord Xu. The emperor didn't mean to summon me to the cabinet, maybe the two adults misunderstood..."

"Zirui, there is no need to deliberately hide it at this time...", Zhang Bi sneered, "Besides, the emperor didn't have this proposal before, but now at this time, he summoned you to the palace, which must be his intention." Oops, our two old men are useless, and in the future, national affairs will depend on you and Yan, hum..."

"Lord Zhang, I think there is indeed some misunderstanding here...", listening to Zhang Bi's cynicism, Peng Yue's expression was also a little displeased, "Now that there is war in the northwest again, don't I have a heart to serve the country?" Could it be that the emperor summoned me, must it be because of the internal affairs of the court? ”

Zhang Bi couldn't help blushing slightly when he heard Peng Yue's words, but then he glanced at Xu Zan and said in unison, "There is another war in the northwest?" ”

It turned out that the two of them were so squeezed by Yan Song that they even lost the right to draft votes, so they simply didn't go to see the legato folds, and let Yan Song come alone. Originally, the two of them had the idea of exhausting Yan Song out of illness, or even exhausting to death, but they didn't expect Yan Song to be quite energetic and look quite leisurely...

Not only that, Yan Song even set up his home in the attic of Xiyuan, and often did not go home for several days, drinking dry tea and sitting on the bench. Of course, the affairs of the cabinet are indeed not so busy, and Yan Song will hand over some folds to his son Yan Shifan to deal with, so he doesn't have much to do in a day.

At first, Zhang Bi and Xu Zan were quite puzzled: Why are you fighting so hard, and there are not so many things, you should go home to see your wife and children. Later, I realized that this old boy had ulterior motives, because Yan Song stayed in Xiyuan for a long time, Zhu Houxi felt that Yan Song, a courtier, was too caring and diligent, so he was excited and gave Yan Song a plaque to show encouragement.

It turns out that the trick is here, it doesn't matter what work you do or not, and it doesn't matter if your subordinates know that you are diligent and serious, as long as the leader sees it. It's a pity that when Zhang Bi and Xu Zan realized this, it was too late...

"Don't you two know about this?" , Peng Yue asked with some surprise.

"Uh...", Xu Zan looked embarrassed when Peng Yue asked like this, "Actually... This one... Lord Zhai was sent to Jizhou a few days ago... We still know about it..."

After listening to Xu Zan's words, Peng Yue understood that the two of them really didn't know much about the war in the northwest, and at the same time he was a little surprised: Could it be that Yan Song's seizure of power has reached this point? Even this kind of thing is hidden from Zhang Xu and the others...

Zhang Bi on the side saw that Peng Yue knew better than himself and Xu Zan, and he was more sure of the judgment just now: this kid, it must be Yan Song who has promoted him to the cabinet, and now he is familiar with affairs.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bi couldn't help but step forward and patted Peng Yue's shoulder with a sneer, "Zirui, the two of us are useless, and I hope you can do your best, but don't forget, it was Lord Xia who single-handedly lifted you up..."

"Lord Zhang...", Peng Yue took a step back unhappily, "I think the two adults really misunderstood me, if you don't believe me, then use time to prove it." Now I have to enter the palace to face the saint, don't stay here for a long time, and say goodbye..."

Peng Yue said, flicked his robe, and turned to leave. He knew that the two old men were confused now, and if he explained to them himself, it was estimated that they would not believe it, because after all, he was Yan Song's rightful son-in-law now, and if he said too much, he would cause trouble for himself. He believes that time and faith will eventually give him a fair ... (To be continued.) )
