Coming out of the harem, Su Qinglang came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, because Lord Su was a frequent visitor, so it was not even necessary to report.

When he came to the front of the main hall, he was about to step in, but he saw a cup flying out, and he hurriedly dodged to dodge.

glanced at the broken cup that fell to the ground, raised his eyes and smiled: "Xiangye, who are you angry with?" ”

Qin Qian, the right minister, sat in the first place with an unkind face, and there was a Jia Dexin kneeling below.

Crying with a handful of tears, as if he had been very wronged, an old face with dried persimmon skin, as if pear blossoms brought rain.

Su Qinglang's eyes froze for a moment, and then he said slowly: "It turns out that I am angry with Qinglang." ”

Seeing Su Qinglang, Qin Qian's expression was much more restrained, and he suppressed his anger and asked, "The results of the palace test are out?" ”

People are already kneeling here, and they still come to ask him about the result?

Su Qinglang pursed his lips and smiled, and replied briefly: "Mei Liusheng is the first, Young Master Jia is the second, and Lu Xun is the third." ”

Qin Jian frowned when he heard this, he and Pei Yan have been in the officialdom for many years, and in this imperial examination, they all wanted to put their own people in, he personally came forward and recommended it to the emperor, originally for Zhuang Yuanlang, but unexpectedly, this kind of fork was born in the middle.

Who Mei Liusheng is, he doesn't know, and he is not interested in knowing, after all, there is no Jia Siqi to use it.

Jia Dexin was very aggrieved in his heart, flattened his mouth, and arched his hand to Qin Jian and said, "Xiangye, you want to call the shots for the lower officials......"

Qin Jian glared at him and said angrily, "You shut up for me!" ”

Jia Dexin was frightened, knelt on the ground like a leper dog, and listened to Qin Jian again: "Master Su, I don't know what your explanation is for this matter?" ”

Su Qinglang stood in the hall, holding a folding fan in his hand and said, "Xiangye asked me what explanation, but I want to ask Master Jia, what do you want Xiangye to do?" ”

After a pause, he said: "I take money to do things, it is the rules of officialdom, the love is also said, and the people have recommended it, the emperor doesn't need it himself, what can I do?" ”

Jia Dexin sniffed, shrank down, and said: "Master Su, our Jia family has not produced a champion for eight generations, and today I finally have a chance, this champion position should have been a child, but now, it fell on the head of a yellow-mouthed child, you have also been scolded, things have been collected, and silver has been spent, can't just ...... Leave it alone. ”

Su Qinglang raised his eyebrows, unfolded the folding fan with a hula, and said with a straight face: "Lord Jia was distressed about those silvers, otherwise, what about this matter, I didn't do it, what about the things you sent, I didn't move, and I asked people to send them all back to you?" ”

This thing given to the boss is like a meat bun beating a dog, how can there be any reason to come back?

What's more, Su Qinglang has one copy here, and Qin Jian has ten copies there, if Su Qinglang returns it, wouldn't it be a tiger's mouth to pull out his teeth and take money from Prime Minister Qin's pocket?

Although Jia Dexin was not happy in his heart, he didn't dare to offend the two of them, so he could only endure the pain and said, "No, no...... Xiao'er offended Master Su before, those things ...... It is counted as an apology from the lower official to the adult. ”

Su Qinglang snorted coldly, and said in a strange manner: "Sue and sue Xiangye, aren't I afraid that Lord Jia will feel that I am a scholar, and I will be panicked in my heart by bullying others?" ”

Hearing Su Qinglang's ridicule with a gun and a stick, knowing that he was angry about Jia Siqi's offending himself in the restaurant before, Qin Jian couldn't help frowning and had a headache.

Half of the majestic said: "Okay, let's not say a word, everyone is in the same boat, we should work together, and quarrel like this in front of the prime minister, what kind of system?" ”

Su Qinglang flattened his mouth, put on a very aggrieved expression, and said: "Xiangye, it's not that Qinglang is mean, but today is really aggrieved, then Xue Qishan and Xu Jin joined forces to trap me, Xiangye, you are not here, I am alone, where can I be their opponent?" ”

The words sounded like complaints, but they were actually accusations, Qin Jian knew in his heart that although he was not questioning Su Qinglang here, in this matter, in fact, he himself also had a certain responsibility.

Although Jia Siqi had been recommended to the emperor before, it was before the scientific examination and the palace examination, and it was still a secret, and many ministers in the court did not know about it.

He originally thought that in this way, he could not only achieve his goal, promote Jia Siqi, but also avoid suspicion with the scientific examination, so that there would always be people saying that he was bullying others and controlling the government.

When the time comes, the money that should be collected will be collected correctly, and when the day of the palace test, he will directly come to take a leave and disappear, and throw the matter to Su Qinglang, in front of his right minister Qin Qian, who dares to be unconvinced?

It's just that I didn't expect that Su Qinglang, this kid, was too slippery, and he actually played this trick with him, and he didn't expect that he would disrupt the plan and end up losing all the games.

He sighed and said, "I didn't know that there would be such a fork, then Xue Qishan and Xu Jin have never been involved in party disputes, but I didn't expect to stand on Pei Yan's side today." ”

Su Qinglang thought about his father, and then thought about the little brother Lu Xun who was too upright and only left behind in the end, paused, and did not speak.

I saw Qin Jian say to Jia Dexin: "The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to be done, it is good to be able to get a good example, go back." ”

Jia Dexin's heart seemed to be poured vinegar, and it seemed to be poured with a layer of oil, it hurt and sour, sour and painful, and knelt forward: "Xiangye......"

I wanted to say something, but I was glared at by Qin Qian, and immediately realized my mistake and forced myself to hold back my tears.

Seeing Jia Dexin leaving, without Qin Jian greeting him, Su Qinglang found a seat and sat down by himself.

I only heard Qin Jian say: "Forget it this time, next time you can't be so reckless, you can't tell the priorities." ”

Su Qinglang was silent, and after a moment, he replied, "Yes." ”

After a pause, he changed his words and said: "Xiangye, in fact, what Qinglang did today is not entirely for his own personal enmity, but more importantly, for you, Xiangye." ”

Qin Jian sighed, waiting for his next words, and then listened to Su Qinglang say: "As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, the most terrifying thing in this world is not the enemy standing on the opposite side, but the unknown dangers hidden behind it." ”

"Jia Dexin, in my opinion, is a wall grass that falls on both sides, relying on the power of the prime minister, you and me, today he is willing to belong to our side, if it is ...... The situation is reversed, and if he has two hearts and leaks our affairs, I am afraid that we will lose badly. ”

He paused, and said: "When Qing Lang was young, he saw a snake trainer on Chang'an Street, at first the green snake was still young, training and performing, which could help him earn a lot of silver, and then the snake grew bigger and bigger, until the cage could not fit it, and the appetite became bigger and bigger, some of the Tianxun snake people were seriously ill, and they could no longer make money, and there was no raw meat to feed it, and when the cage was opened again, the snake bit him on the arm......

Hearing Su Qinglang's words, Qin Jian was silent for a while, and after a moment, he nodded thoughtfully.

Then he thought of something and asked him: "Lord Su's remarks, the original appearance has benefited a lot, but I don't know this story, if it is put on Lord Su's body, what should it do?" ”

Su Qinglang glanced at Qin Qian, retracted his gaze, and replied lightly: "Xiangye should know that I and you are grasshoppers on a rope, or in other words, I, Su Qinglang, am just a cat raised by your son-in-law, which is different from Jia Siqi." ”

Qin Jian snorted coldly, and then heard Su Qinglang say: "Xiangye, he has always been a tiger for trouble, and there are many people who are Mr. Dongguo in vain, in the restaurant that day, Jia Siqi's remarks are the best example, since their father and son are here for profit, he will also leave for profit in the future." Our great cause has not been accomplished, everything has to be careful everywhere, although this Jia Siqi is a talent, but if he is not good at raising it, he will become a dog that bites the owner, he is not as good as a fool. ”

After a pause, he looked at Qin Qian's face, and added: "This incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for us, and in the future, we should be on guard against this Jia father and son." ”

Qin Jian nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "...... that Mei Liusheng?"

When Su Qinglang heard this, he raised his eyes slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Xiangye asked like this, is it to ......?"

Suddenly thought of something, and replied honestly: "I don't know where he came from, you only asked me to pay attention to those noble children in the capital before, so I didn't find out about this scientific examination, and there was still this person among the people who came to take the exam, but this palace examination made him a blockbuster......

Since it is his own command, of course it is not good to attack others, Qin Jian is a little gloomy and a little heavy.

Seeing that Su Qinglang thought about it again, he smiled disdainfully: "In fact, this kid can be regarded as a sandpiper and a clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman, in this scientific expedition, the emperor does not want to offend you, and he doesn't want to be too favored, so he brushed Pei Yan's face, and Xue Qishan selected only the three of them, so he had to pull him up." ”

Qin Jian snorted: "Listen to Huan'er, have you seen this person before?" ”

Hearing this, Su Qinglang's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly returned to normal: "It's not Pei Yan's side, it's not our side, it's not our side, his words are smooth, his manners are decent, but he is also a talent." ”

Qin Jian continued: "If it's not a person from our side, let's turn him into a person from our side, now is the time to employ people, talent, naturally the more the merrier." ”

Su Qinglang nodded, and then hesitated: "I'm afraid that Lord Zuo Xiang's side has the same plan as us." ”

Qin Jian snorted disdainfully: "It's just a champion, if he really doesn't know how to lift and takes refuge in Pei Yan, we have a way to govern him." ”

Qu Zhi knocked on the table, and then said: "This Mei Liusheng, you have seen it before, this matter will be handed over to you to do, with you to make a move, the prime minister is also relieved, it's just that Jia Siqi's matter is messed up, because there is a reason for the incident, the prime minister does not care, this matter, you can no longer let the prime minister down." ”

It turned out to be putting pressure on him...... Su Qinglang pulled his lips and smiled, and said, "It's just right, I have an appointment with him tomorrow, and at that time, Qinglang will definitely convey the meaning of the master." ”

The two talked in the hall for a while, until the evening, seeing the sun setting in the western mountains, Su Qinglang got up to say goodbye, but was stopped by Qin Qian.

Standing at the door of the main hall, he only heard Qin Jian be silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and said with a bad feeling: "Huan'er has been unwell these days, you can go and take a look." ”

Su Qinglang was stunned, nodded, and replied, "Yes." ”
