Chapter 42: Isn't it a dereliction of duty?
The ancients lived for more than 100 years, and they could be called immortals.
The prime minister is now nearly sixty years old, and he works hard for the country every day, his hair is gray, and he is old.
He wanted to tell the old man that Yun Mi was not without news, the prime minister would always say a word openly and secretly when he came to the imperial study to talk about things in the past few days, but now his eyes are useless, and everything he sees is blurry. I dreamed of the first emperor a few days ago, and suddenly felt that it was time to rest.
Yun Mi didn't really want to let this old man go.
Talents are rare.
What's more, if there is a shortage of prime ministers, there must be intrigue in the court and fight for blood.
Yun Mi waved his hand, a little helpless: "I already know about this matter, so let's step down." ”
In addition to the hereditary inheritance, the position of the prime minister is the position of the capable.
Today's old ministers in the court are active in their own connections, pinning their hopes on them to say more good things, and when the time comes, the emperor will be happy, and that person will not be at his fingertips.
One person is below ten thousand people, and the dream is tempting.
Yun Mi was silent, and the battle below had already begun. The prime minister had not been here for more than half a month, so Yun Mi slipped out of the palace gate with Yan Wugui's micro-suit and went to the prime minister's mansion.
Because of the total victory, Yun Mi only dared to glance at the gadgets on the stalls when he saw them.
Yan Wugui was careful, and when he saw her eyes, he silently wrote it down and waited to come out of the Prime Minister's Mansion to bring it to someone.
"The prime minister has worked hard for the country in his life."
Yun Mi put his hands behind his back and said, "If he asks for his resignation, I really don't know how to say no." ”
Don't look at the prime minister's appearance of a fairy-like bone, he is actually an iron-blooded man, shrewd like a fox. Back then, she was obedient to her father's court and the governance of the world, and she knew that she was in a high position, and she never got too close to people, and even her daughter-in-law married a rural village woman, completely isolated from the court. Don't give people a chance to gossip.
The previous emperor felt that he was really worried about the sky, and wanted to help strengthen his power so as not to be bullied in the future. So he arranged his relatives to be petty officials, and as a result, His Majesty issued a holy decree on the front foot, and the prime minister on the back foot found a stubble and arranged people to a position where he slept soundly every day, and he did not let him hold any real power.
Before the emperor died, the prime minister was also by his side.
The emperor explained to the original owner that no matter what the prime minister did in the future, he could not be punished with death. On the contrary, he explained to the prime minister, and Yunmi, the child, was entrusted to him to take care of it.
When the emperor closed his eyes, he clasped his hands with the prime minister, looking uneasy about the world.
At that time, the prime minister was also very moved, and his eyes were red and he shouted a few words to His Majesty, but as soon as he closed his eyes and turned his head, he said to the original owner Your Majesty's words Your Highness does not need to rest assured, if he is guilty in the future, please punish him heavily, in order to set an example, if he is worthy of His Majesty's favor.
Look.
With such dedication, Yun Mi really felt very sorry.
Why were the ancients so young?
Quan Sheng didn't know what to say.
These days, the ministers saw him as if they were their own father, and sent all valuables to his house, in order to make Quansheng say a few good words.
Of course, Quan Sheng also fulfilled their wishes, and praised the ministers who gave gifts in front of Yun Mi for being very rich. Yun Mi glanced at him meaningfully, took out a notebook and hooked the gift giver with an ink pen on it.
Gift-giving is a means, but it is not suitable for the prime minister who leans towards the government and the opposition. If this kind of person comes to power, those who have embezzled and accepted bribes in a few years should be rich and rival the country. She can't raise a tiger and wolf minister for Mingyun.
Yun Mi opened one eye and closed one eye and said to Quan Sheng, he should accept the gift, anyway, the treasury is still very empty.
Your Majesty has his own careful thoughts, and it is easy for Quansheng to become a bird in the first place if he says anything now.
"The prime minister's family has three sons?" Yun Mi suddenly remembered this stubble.
Quan Sheng lowered his eyebrows and leaned over: "Back to Your Majesty, yes." ”
"Have you inherited the prime minister?"
The prime minister really hides people tightly, and none of his three sons have entered the official career.
That's weird.
Quan Sheng recalled it and told him truthfully: "It seems that there is not." The eldest son Shunchang learned to teach in the city, the second son obeyed the business, and the third son was still young and couldn't see anything. ”
The corners of Yun Mi's mouth twitched, this prime minister is really interesting, he looks at power as lightly, and even looks like he wants to escape and resist.
The three of them slowly shook to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Quan Sheng took Yun Mi's gold medal and glanced forward at the guard, he hurriedly called someone to go in to report, hurriedly pushed open the door and knelt on the ground.
Yun Mi made a flat gesture to them and entered through the gate.
The courtyard of this prime minister's house is not luxurious, but the materials used are really good, and there is a kind of chic and secluded tone.
The prime minister came with his wife and children, and he only had one wife in his life.
When he married a wife, there was a heated discussion in the capital for a while. After all, the prime minister of the year was also a young and promising, personable, and dreaming lover of the boudoir without thousands of gold, who would have thought that he would marry an unknown rural village woman in the end.
The woman is also in her forties, but she is very well maintained, although she came out of a small family, she can't see the slightest cowardice, and she smiles gently and politely when she helps the prime minister.
"The old minister didn't know that His Majesty was coming, and he missed the welcome, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Yun Mi sighed and hurriedly helped the person up: "I heard that the prime minister has been sick, so I came to take a look." Monarchs and ministers don't have to be polite in private. ”
"Your Majesty, please come here."
The lady made a gesture to lead a few people to the lobby, and Yun Mi glanced at the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, named Shunyuan. About eight years old, he looks clean and clean, not like a lady, but like a prime minister. At a young age, he already faintly revealed the appearance of heaven and man, presumably it was not a joke to rumor that thousands of people were looking at the prime minister in the empty alleys.
Yun Mi told the prime minister about "sticking to himself" this time, and Yan Wugui was supposed to go into the backyard as a female dependent, but when the prime minister sat with Yun Mi, he said: "Since you are here, then you are here." Madam, go and pour two cups of tea for Your Majesty and the concubine. ”
Quan Sheng also retreated knowingly, and only three people were left in the entire hall.
The prime minister sat down in the seat with his hands in his hands, and Yun Mi opened his mouth and asked, "I heard rumors in the court, and the prime minister intends to resign?" ”
"The old minister does have this intention."
As he spoke, the prime minister took out a fold from between his sleeves, thinking that he had been prepared, stood up and arched his hand: "These Tianchen have been unwell. Since His Majesty is here, it also saves the old minister from dragging his sick body to bother His Majesty. ”
He came to Yun Mi, and when he handed over the fold, he suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, do you say that the old minister should hand it to you, or to Concubine Man?" ”
Yun Mi frowned, and Yan Wugui hooked his lips and smiled.
"What are you talking about, Prime Minister?" Yun Mi touched his nose.
The prime minister lowered his head and pursed his lips and shook his head: "Your Majesty has hidden from the world." If you can hide it from others, how can you hide it from your ministers? If the past is concealed, it is not a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister. ”
