Chapter 55

Xu Shiming had already learned what had happened before Baili Wuji was summoned.

As one of the two prime ministers of the Ming Kingdom, and his qualifications in the Ming Kingdom are far greater than Feng Dao, he naturally has no less connections than Feng Dao.

And as a minister of the dragon before Baili Wuji made a fortune, he knew that his every qiē was related to Baili Wuji.

Xu Shiming knew his plan to cultivate newcomers.

But Xu Shiming is not in a hurry, because he has a stronger backing than Feng Dao, that is, his understanding of Baili Wuji.

A person who can kill his parents and enemies without killing his parents with his own hands for the sake of the former brotherhood is either a saint or a bastard.

A person who can sit down to the supreme state of the Ming Kingdom with a small Badong county order and unify the world cannot be a bastard anyway.

If so, then the word "bastard" should be a compliment in the future.

Baili Wuji's character, if Xu Shiming doesn't understand, then there is no one in the world who knows better than him.

Therefore, Xu Shiming is not in a hurry, he knows that with his unscrupulous character, if these old ministers are not properly arranged, it will be impossible to launch the reform of official governance.

Because Baili Wuji's heart is far less hard and cold than what he seems.

Xu Shiming knew that the only thing he had to do was to wait and wait for Baili Wuji to talk to him about this matter in person.

Xu Shiming's subordinate officials, that is by no means comparable to Feng Dao.

From Baili Wuji Badong to raise troops, to the inauguration of the King of Chu, and then the establishment of the Ming State, to the current Ming State to dominate the world, Xu Shiming has been the first minister in charge of internal affairs under Baili Wuji.

It is conceivable how many officials under Xu Shiming should be clinging.

It wasn't just a few hundred people like Feng Dao. Rather, it should be magnified tenfold, or even twenty times.

This is actually not a bad thing, all dynasties. What powerful minister does not have such an attached official?

If not, then the minister should not be called a minister.

It should be called a dead man.

There is too much power, but there is no one around, and this person must die quickly.

You can't be a powerful minister.

When Xu Shiming was in Badong, he calmly said to Baili Wuji that he didn't want to be a powerful minister or a traitorous minister, he wanted to be a direct minister and loyal minister who left a name in history.

Over the years, Baili Wuji has constantly put pressure on Xu Shiming. Xu Shiming's power is increasing.

Sometimes in terms of national politics, it is even big enough to replace Baili Wuji.

Exporting into the constitution is talking about such a situation.

This made Xu Shiming very worried and very afraid. He knew that if he didn't restrain himself, then even if Baili Wuji's face was cold and hot, how could he try to protect himself. I can't escape the tragic end.

The attack of hidden arrows from his colleagues was far greater than the accusations of the Emperor.

So. Xu Shiming began to make some "small mistakes" constantly, as long as it did not involve the major policies of the Ming Kingdom, Xu Shiming began to "make mistakes", which is a kind of self-humiliation, in order to let others seize his handle.

Making the intelligence network a "mess" and arousing the dissatisfaction of all hundred miles is the most typical method.

In this regard, Xu Shiming has a very guilty sense of Baili Wuji in his heart.

But for the sake of the monarch and the minister, he can start and finish well. Xu Shiming can only do this.

Fortunately, Xu Shouren is back. Therefore, handing over the intelligence network to Xu Shouren became the only choice.

But Xu Shouren is Xu Shiming's righteous son, one father and son is the first prime minister of the Ming Kingdom, and the son is the biggest spy leader of the Ming Kingdom, and the two occupy the most important positions in the Ming Kingdom.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, and the official position is undoubtedly the piece that everyone wants to occupy for themselves.

This made Xu Shiming have to find a way to humiliate himself again, and he couldn't affect the politics of the Ming Kingdom, if so, even if Baili Wuji could forgive himself, he couldn't forgive himself.

Therefore, Xu Shiming chose neutrality in this incident.

Neutrality is a neutral word, but for the first prime minister who is in charge of the national affairs of the Ming State, neutrality is equivalent to doing nothing, not doing anything, and letting it go.

Xu Shiming was the only person who expected the riot in this incident, but because of his inaction and failure to stop it, the riot became more and more violent.

When he heard Baili Wuji urgently call himself, Xu Shiming instantly guessed what Baili Wuji wanted to do.

It's not that you don't do it, but you can't do it.

Xu Shiming smiled bitterly in his heart, and was called to follow Nei Zhi into the palace.

Baili Wuji saw a trace of helplessness from Xu Shiming's wrinkled face.

Baili Wuji understood that Xu Shiming had already seen his thoughts.

In fact, Baili Wuji really wants to talk to Xu Shiming or Feng Dao about the plan of alternating the old and the new.

But this is really inappropriate, the two involved almost seventy percent of the civil officials of the Ming State and the military attaches in the court.

Once something goes wrong, I am afraid that it will cause a great earthquake in the Ming Kingdom.

This is not good for the country and the people.

Baili Wuji can only wait for the opportunity to come, and this riot in Zhongshu Province has given Baili Wuji the most suitable opportunity.

Xu Shiming looked at Baili Wuji, and the domineering and calm of the middle-aged emperor on Baili Wuji's face made Xu Shiming understand that Baili Wuji already knew that he knew his thoughts.

This is the tacit understanding between the two of them for more than 20 years.

It's helplessness, it's a compromise, and it's also a relief.

At this moment, the king is not a king, the minister is not a minister, there is just a mature man with full wings and wings soaring, and an old man with deep experience and old age.

And these two are also teachers and friends, fathers and brothers, and the relationship between them is absolutely impossible for outsiders to guess.

"You've decided?" Xu Shiming broke the silence, and he spit out four words with difficulty.

Baili Wuji replied categorically: "It's decided." ”

"There are too many officials involved, both old and new, are you mentally prepared?"

"Officials old and new, and those who break the law, are treated equally."

"Really?"

"Really."

Xu Shiming sighed softly, he knew that a storm was inevitable.

Hey, if the Ming Kingdom was still in the war period, how good would it be, both old and new, all of them were of one heart and one mind, and they were united with the outside world, so why would such a happy scene be gone? Xu Shiming was extremely melancholy in his heart.

Maybe I'm really old......

Xu Shiming smiled slightly bitterly, even his righteous son Xu Shouren has become a father, and Lu Xiaocui has become a mother, how can he not be old?

It's just that I can follow a British lord in my life, and with today's Ming world, I have already achieved my wish, so why bother myself?

The rapids retreated bravely, and the world of the Ming Kingdom was given to those young people, and they could also be idle to hug their grandchildren and enjoy the belated family fun.

Xu Shiming retracted his ethereal gaze, and he looked at Baili Wuji deeply. This man, no longer has the immaturity and impulsiveness of Padang, he has become mature, and even his eyes have become deep, making it impossible to see what he is thinking. (To be continued......)
