Chapter 74:-for-tat
Duan Jing suffered from a leg disease when he was a child, and he couldn't stand up again until he became an adult, and Emperor Duan pardoned him for not going to the morning court every day.
Duan Jingcheng himself is also an optimistic and casual character, so he only shows up once in ten days and half a month.
Not to mention that there is any minister in this palace who can help him speak, I am afraid that there are many people who have never seen this great prince, and he alone wants to compete with Duan Jingxun, who has a deep foundation, is simply hitting a stone with an egg.
Duan Jingyi's eyes softened, "Then thank you in advance, Brother Huang." ”
"It's easy to say, I'll bring my younger siblings to my house to play another day, I just received a good jade jue a few days ago."
"The eldest brother is addicted to these gadgets all day long, no wonder the father will withdraw your fiefdom, I don't know, I think it's our eldest brother who has rejuvenated and is not as good as the newly adult Nine Emperor Brothers," Duan Jingxun walked in from the door, his voice was neither high nor low, full of sarcasm and disdain, such a tone was enough for half of the ministers to hear.
Looking at the ministers chuckling, Duan Jingchengteng's face turned red, "It's not that you complained to your father!" If it weren't for you stumbling behind my back, how would I have been scolded by my father! ”
"Wronged, could it be that I asked the eldest brother to go to the restaurant to eat snacks during the tax period? There's such a big hole in the account books, you don't want to spit blood. ”
"You!"
"That's it! What a noise early in the morning! With a roar of anger, Emperor Duan walked up to the hall from behind, his eyebrows were extremely low, and his expression was displeased and swept towards everyone above, "I am arguing every day in the court, what kind of system!" I have my own plans for the position of the head of the household, and you don't need to say more. ”
Duan Jingxun's expression was straight when he heard this, and he pretended to be remorseful and saluted, "Father is angry, it is Erchen who is about to collide with the eldest emperor's brother, but Erchen really wants to share your worries, Du Peng has been in the household department for many years and knows everything about everything, and only by letting him replace the vacancy of Shangshu can he not mess up, father." ”
Du Peng also followed suit, "Thank you Your Royal Highness for recommending the minister, I am flattered, the heart of the minister can be seen by the sun and the moon, no matter what the official position is, I will be loyal to Your Majesty in life!" ”
Emperor Duan's expression eased slightly, and he saw that Duan Jingxun was overjoyed and wanted to continue to speak, and then heard Emperor Duan say, "Why doesn't the fourth brother speak?" Do you have a referral? ”
"Back to the father, the son does not want to recommend the person, the household is the central part of the court, can not be a day without a leader, although the time is urgent, but can not be hastily selected, the household is responsible for the heavy silver two hands, tens of millions of ordinary people may be difficult to have the determination to upright, the son of the minister thinks that the candidate of the book does not necessarily have to be familiar with the household first, but should first choose the character of integrity and integrity."
"Well, that's good," Emperor Duan swept to His Royal Highness, "The grade of the receiver of the post of the head of the household department can't be too low, and there is no need to choose among the household servants, if any of the Qing family has the heart to serve, they might as well recommend themselves." ”
"Self-nomination?"
As soon as Emperor Duan's words came out, everyone in the court was dumbfounded, and everyone looked at each other, and important official positions have always been appointed by the emperor.
Emperor Duan also expected this repercussion, and waved his hand, "If you don't want to say it in person, it's okay to write a song and recommend yourself, if you have nothing to do, you can retreat first." ”
"Father, son-in-law thinks Du Peng is ......"
Before Duan Jingxun finished his posthumous reply, Emperor Duan was helped down by Gonggong Su, he held back his words in his stomach, and stood up unwillingly, saying that he recommended himself, and to put it bluntly, it was Emperor Duan's plan to delay the army.
Who doesn't know the importance of the money and silver in charge of the household department, I'm afraid that with Emperor Duan's character, it will be difficult for him to get his wish, thinking of this Duan Jingxun's face is even more ugly, "Jingyi, who do you want to choose to take the position, it is better to say it directly, every time I recommend someone in the past few days, you will be a hindrance from it, so what is the benefit of losing both!" ”
Duan Jingyi's dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Why did the second emperor brother say this, the position of Shangshu should have been decided by his father, no matter who was elected, it would benefit the people, so why should you say that both sides will lose?" ”
Duan Jingxun shook his sleeves angrily, turned around and left without looking back.
Looking at Duan Jingxun's back, Duan Jingyi's eyes were shining, what he wanted was this result, the more the two competed, the more he didn't say who to recommend, the more Duan Jingxun could be seen with ulterior motives, how could Emperor Duan not see this ghost after reigning for many years.
Duan Jingyi was just about to leave when he heard a small sobbing sound behind him, and when he turned around, Duan Jingcheng had already cried into a big red face.
"It's useless, I was full of confidence and wanted to help you, but I didn't want to be humiliated like the second child just now, and I didn't dare to say anything when I saw my father, I was useless!"
Duan Jing looked at him at a loss, and only squeezed out three words at the end, "It's okay." ”
Duan Jingcheng cried even more, he cried while repeating these words, his mind was as fragile as a child, Duan Jingyi had no choice but to let him cry all the way with him.
As soon as they left the palace gate, a guard came to deliver a message, saying that Tang Meng and Bai Lingchen had taken their cubs to a private school on the outskirts of the city.
Duan Jingyi saw that Duan Jingcheng had no intention of leaving, so he had no choice but to speak, "I'll send someone to send the imperial brother back to the house." ”
"I ...... I'm sorry for you! I haven't seen you in a long time, don't rush me back. ”
Duan Jingyi had no choice but to let the dignified prince cry like this on the street, so he simply ordered someone to carry him to the car and went to the outskirts of the city together.
Here, Tang Meng turned around twice with his hands behind his back in the so-called 'other courtyard', and turned his head to look at Song Ming who was following Wei Nuo behind him, "I said Lord Song, you are really loyal, you even did such a thing as abducting and selling children for the sake of your master?" ”
"How can there be, Niangniang, you really lift me up, I just let the prince live in my place for a while at the behest of the prince's order, and I have always taken care of the prince personally and never let him suffer the slightest grievance!"
Tang Meng snorted coldly, no wonder Su Zhi said that Song Ming had a lot of intestines, and looking at the location of this house, he knew that this person was very clever and vigilant.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides and a waterfront, with three acres of fertile land behind the slope, there are cattle and sheep grazing, this good place to attack and retreat and defend is said to be a refuge, she believes.
And the surrounding area is full of croppers, the people are simple, no one would think that the prefect who lives here is the prefect, and no one will think that the son of the dignified king is also here to study private school with their children.
"And I have to thank you?"
"Yo! Don't dare, don't dare ”
Tang Meng leaned closer to him and said without smiling, "In the future, if Duan Jingyi dares to hide the cub in you, please let Master Song inform me." ”
"What are you talking about, it's an honor for your subordinates to report something to Niangniang."
Tang Meng believed him, "If I find out that you are concealing, I will ask the person from Sanssouci Island to judge." ”
Song Ming was stunned, his eyes turned and he asked seriously, "What Sanssouci Island?" Sanssouci Island is a place that the minister has never heard of. ”
Tang Meng got up with a smile, "It's okay, you'll know if you go once." ”
"Mother, come on, I've done both!" The cub's milk voice came from another small slope, and there were more than a dozen playmates reading together sitting beside him, only Bai Lingchen in the middle was very abrupt.
"Good!" Tang Meng waved his hand and trotted all the way away.
Song Ming's face became serious at this time, he didn't expect Tang Meng to be trusted so quickly, it seems that the rumors in the imperial city that King Yi favors his wife are true, and the people who will be protected in the future will also add Tang Meng No. 1.
