At the beginning, Wang Shangshu took Chu Xiong's position, but failed to replace the favor given to this position by the emperor.

After the joy of being promoted, he couldn't stand on his feet, so he found a backer.

And this backer is Prime Minister Wei Cheng, who leans towards the government and the opposition, and until now, whether it is in the court or in private, the relationship between the two sides is not bad.

Chu Yuxi pondered the deep meaning of it, slowly tasted a little meaning, hooked his lips and smiled: "Interesting, General Yang means to cross Prime Minister Wei Cheng and establish a good relationship with the people under Prime Minister Wei Cheng?" ”

Even if they watched Prime Minister Wei Cheng act together before, but now they are more or less two camps, and it would be fun to let Prime Minister Wei know.

At the same time, the Prime Minister's Mansion also received the same news.

The housekeeper went in with the carrier pigeon and said respectfully: "Master, the news from the palace says that Yang Zhaoyi has recently gotten close to Wang Meiren, but Wang Meiren has not given any news of goodwill." ”

"I'm waiting for news from her father," Wei Cheng said slowly, "The day is slowly getting hotter, ask Wang Shangshu to come over and drink a cup of newly delivered Tieguanyin." ”

"Yes." The housekeeper immediately repaired the book and asked someone to send it to the Shangshu Mansion.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Shangshu is Prime Minister Wei's doglegs, and the little guy who delivered the letter has not returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion yet, and Wang Shangshu has already arrived out of breath.

The housekeeper was still a little surprised when he saw it, and hurriedly brought people in, soaked in the best Tieguanyin, and retreated sensibly.

Prime Minister Wei raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Wang Shangshu is still as fast as ever, but there is no big deal today, it is Tieguanyin sent below." It is said that because of the impact of production and transportation, there are not many left, and the old man is also a piece of bread that the saint can afford and reward. ”

Wang Shangshu said: "That's that, the prime minister is worried about state affairs and has every opportunity, so he naturally wins the trust of the emperor, and has always been the flaunt in the hearts of the lower officials." However, this tea is so valuable, the lower officials don't have to be elegant, they are a rough person, and they don't know how to appreciate tea, so they are afraid that they will spoil this good thing. ”

"Really? I heard that General Yang sent some good teapots a few days ago, and said that he would give you half of this teacake today to make the teapot work. Prime Minister Wei sipped the tea unhurriedly, smiling kindly.

But Wang Shangshu was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and then contacted the news that his daughter had just returned home before leaving, what else could he not guess?

Even though Prime Minister Wei looks old and has a mediocre look on his face, he knows everyone's actions.

Trying to hide things in front of him is simply wishful thinking.

immediately knelt down with a "flutter", full of panic: "The prime minister must have misunderstood." The lower official has something to clarify, and General Yang did send a teapot to the lower official, but I also blocked it back for the same reason. ”

"Yes, then you should try it, Tieguanyin is really good." Prime Minister Wei didn't say whether to let him get up, but just pushed a cup of soaked Tieguanyin to his position.

"Yes, yes, Xiaguan should really give it a try. But whether you like it or not is still a matter of the heart, and you can't force it. You don't like to drink tea just because of a teapot. Wang Shangshu still didn't give up wanting to explain.

If Prime Minister Wei becomes suspicious, whether he is really willing to forgive in the future, there will be room for him.

There are obstacles to his own promotion.

After showing his loyalty for a while, Wang Shangshu took the Tieguanyin sent by Prime Minister Wei and went back in a nervous mood.

The housekeeper respectfully came in to pack up his things, and Prime Minister Wei squinted his eyes and said, "He's not so stupid, but he can't blindly trust without wind and waves." ”

The voice was low, as if he was muttering to himself and as if he was asking the housekeeper, and the old housekeeper could only nod silently if he couldn't figure out what he meant.

Prime Minister Wei suddenly pushed out the cup in front of him, and sneered: "But Wang Shangshu is right about one thing, Tieguanyin is delicious and not necessarily someone can taste it, after all, it is a top grade but not a masterpiece." "First Reading Network

In an inexplicable sentence, there are almost audible ambitions and desires, and the dissatisfaction with the imperial gift will change the flavor if it rises to another level.

The butler was frightened by this thought, and pushed it out to calm down for a while.

It didn't take long to be quiet, and he was stopped by the people below: "Housekeeper, Chu Xiong's father and son at the door asked to see the prime minister, did you report it?" ”

"I'll ask." The housekeeper said lightly, and turned around to vaguely reveal a sense of reluctance, which was fleeting.

After the briefing, Prime Minister Wei knocked on the table and suddenly laughed: "Take people to the study." ”

Then, he got up and went to the study, and the housekeeper went to ask for someone in a daze.

Chu Xiong's father and son at the door were almost nervous on their faces, especially Chu Qinglian, who was shocked by this gorgeous and atmospheric courtyard, and the atmosphere was solemn and almost left his father and ran away.

The atmosphere was immersed and depressing, and he muttered in a low voice, "Will Prime Minister Wei Cheng receive us?" ”

Although he was also bottomless in his heart, Chu Xiong, who still had the courage, said lightly: "At that time, your father and I had a good relationship with the prime minister. ”

The relationship is good and it can't explain anything, Chu Qinglian really can't help but debunk him, which person does Prime Minister Wei have a very bad relationship with?

When the two of them were tormented, the butler personally came to introduce them, with respect on his face.

This abnormal attitude made Chu Xiong not sure about his attitude, but he silently raised his vigilance.

The housekeeper took them to the door of the study and announced in a loud voice: "Master, someone has brought it." ”

"Stand down. Lord Chu, please come in. "I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, Prime Minister Wei deliberately gave instructions to the housekeeper in front.

With a bit of plausible contempt.

This made Chu Xiong feel unhappy for a while, and immediately adjusted his expression and went in: "The grass people see the prime minister." ”

Who let himself have no official position now, so he can only swallow his anger.

Prime Minister Wei didn't respond, until the words of his subordinates Long Feifeng Wu ended, and then he greeted Chu Xiong eagerly: "Come, Lord Chu look at this character, what do you think?" ”

"Adults don't dare to be, just a grass people, just call the prime minister. The words you wrote are more elegant and vigorous than before, good words! Chu Xiong put on a respectful listening look, very sensible and humble, and quietly narrowed the distance.

Generally, people who are close to them call words, tables and the like.

Prime Minister Wei pretended not to see his scheming, but relaxed his vigilance a little, this Chu Xiong is still as cautious as ever and hides a little ambition and desire, which is reassuring.

The more desireless and undesirable people can't understand, the more vigilant it is.

Out of generosity, Prime Minister Wei Cheng also fulfilled Chu Xiong's wish and called his words: "Cunying has a good reputation, and they all say that words are like their people, and they are also like our lives." You can naturally practice such words with your heart, not to mention that you are not bad yourself. ”

Words like people? Does this mean that his career can also be smooth sailing through the Prime Minister's Mansion?

These words made Chu Xiong overjoyed, he was very genuinely overjoyed, but he didn't expect that he didn't raise any topic, but he actually made Prime Minister Wei Cheng think of wooing him.
