Chapter 107: The Dark Tide is Surging
Mr. Duanmu looked at the reflection in the teacup, showed a different smile, and then shook the teacup leisurely, looked at the rippling tea inside, and took a few sips, as if no one was fine. ()
On the contrary, Bai Jikao was preoccupied, and Mr. Duanmu did not seem indifferent, this expression fell clearly in Mr. Duanmu's eyes, but he didn't want to say anything.
Suddenly, my eyes rolled, and I actually thought of measuring the word, "Senior brother, how about the senior brother test a word for you?" "What Mr. Duanmu said is very interesting, and Bai Jikao is unpredictable.
Before Bai Jikao could express his attitude, Mr. Duanmu had already written a word "Ji" on the table, and then glanced at Bai Jikao again.
Bai Jikao stared at this auspicious word for a long time, stunned and didn't understand what the senior brother wanted, and always felt that it was not a good thing, especially for people like the senior brother, it was impossible to pick up good words. Since I deliberately picked an auspicious word, I must have wanted to test the danger.
Sure enough, without waiting for Bai Ji to say, Mr. Duanmu had already begun to say, "Ji Zi is a mouth, a soldier." The scholar is also an official, and the scholar is in the mouth, indicating that the level of the official career depends on one mouth. However, it is still that sentence, illness from the mouth to trouble, from the mouth, if you are not cautious in words and deeds, then the current progress is bound to become a foreshadowing of the abyss in the future. Therefore, the ancients lurked in the place of blessings and misfortunes, blessings and misfortunes are not the same thing, even if it is an auspicious word, it hides half a bad omen. What's more, His Majesty is a shrewd tiger today, and it is bound to be no good to seek skin with the tiger, so you have to do it yourself. ”
After saying this, he glanced at the people behind him with a bald head, Bai Ji was frightened, it turned out that the senior brother had noticed that something was wrong early in the morning.
Mr. Duanmu didn't want to get into trouble, and there was nothing to say until the words had been ordered, so he simply stood up and went backstage.
Who knew that those people also stood up fiercely, and were about to move, Bai Jikao quickly walked behind Mr. Duanmu in a panic, and blocked the sight of the two parties with his body, those people couldn't see that Mr. Duanmu also knew his intentions, although he was very angry, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still endured it.
After making sure that the senior brother entered the background safely, and these people also left one after another, Bai Jikao breathed a sigh of relief and left the opera garden.
Not long after returning home, someone from the palace came to report that His Majesty was looking for him, Bai Jikao's heart suddenly tightened again, Xu Wei had not recovered from what happened just now, and he was inevitably a little surprised.
However, these people don't know, but seeing that today's Lord Bai is not as calm and calm as in the past, his face is still a little pale, thinking that he is sick, but he doesn't talk much, so he just pretends not to see that he took Bai Ji into the palace.
Bai Jikao secretly took a deep breath and then moved his expression, still returning to the usual hippie smiling face and not serious appearance, and walked towards the palace, but he didn't expect to realize that he was not the only one who came to the imperial garden, Sheng Linsheng had already talked with Yan Zi one step ahead, and the two talked happily as if they didn't have anything to do.
Suddenly, a sense of loss came to mind, and I thought that Yan Zi had specially invited him, but I didn't expect that there was Sheng Lin Sheng, since he was here, what else did he do, and suddenly it seemed that a little sadness and sourness appeared after the child failed to compete for favor. Bai Jikao couldn't wait to turn around and leave immediately, but isn't it cheaper Sheng Linsheng to be so careful, so he endured all the unhappiness and forced a smile on his face to say hello.
"Weichen sees Your Majesty, and General Sheng is also here." Bai Ji smiled back.
Yan Zi glanced at Bai Jikao, smiled and invited him to sit down, the two men sat on the left and right sides of Yan Zi respectively, but Yan Zi was a little embarrassed, and he also knew that the two had been at odds, and it was impossible to sit next to each other, but it was quite embarrassing to choose to sit in the middle and sandwich herself like a peacemaker, because she, the peacemaker, failed to deal with one thing successfully.
This matter is exactly what Yan Zi can't understand, she has already designed to reconcile them, she thought that after letting Bai Ji owe Sheng Linsheng a favor, he will restrain a little, and then the relationship between the two will be reconciled, but after so long, there seems to be no change. But the two didn't have any deep hatred before, so why could they never reconcile, and what was in between.
Yan Zi was very puzzled, she naturally didn't know, she only felt that there should be no quarrel between the civil ministers and military generals, and there was naturally no contradiction in this regard. But both of them are men, and the-for-tat between men is nothing more than a woman, and the person who separates them is Yan Zi himself, and their position is as clear as the position they are sitting in now.
How can jealousy between men care whether you are a good person or a bad person, in the eyes of the other party, they are all bad people, in the face of such a situation, Yan Zi will not be able to reconcile even if he racks his brains and says something bad.
It's just that Yan Zi is still doing this obstinately, and when he called the two of them today, he wanted to persuade them and reconcile them.
"I said what is going on with the two of you, a civil minister and a military general, both are the pillars of the imperial court, it stands to reason that the military generals of the civil ministers will work together to ensure the peace of the country forever. You've been fighting all day, and I'm going to waste a lot of saliva just for you, can you worry about it, and you're not a three-year-old child. ”
Yan Zi is sandwiched in the middle, like a child's mother giving ideological education to two unconscious children, but unfortunately these are to no avail, and there is always an insurmountable ditch between the rivals.
Before the two of them could answer, the food had already been served, and Yan Zi knew that he would not bow his head easily when he looked at their twisted faces, and he might be able to relax more easily after eating something.
So he greeted them like a guest, and ate food, "Today, I mainly want to treat the two of you well, both of them are ministers of the court, and I hope to assist me in managing the country well." Come, this glass of wine I will do first as a respect. ”
The two ministers on the left and right raised their glasses in return, but Yan Zi suddenly stopped them, "Wait, the two of you should respect each other as officials in the same dynasty." ”
The two looked at each other, stretched out their wine glasses in embarrassment and disgust, and then hung in the air without any movement. Yan Zi looked at it, although both of them stretched out their hands as if to welcome each other, but it was obvious that they were only reaching the distance of a punch in front of them, and they did not jump over themselves to the other party's side at all, obviously unwilling.
However, Yan Zi didn't see it, grabbed one in one hand, and directly forcibly clinked glasses, and with a bang, the wine on both sides splashed out, and the beautiful crystal-shaped water droplets fell into each other's wine glasses in the air.
Yan Zi was very satisfied, let them drink it all, but the two disliked each other, but the empress forcibly ordered to drink it all aggrieved.
"Good, good. Today, I am relieved to see the two Aiqing getting along so harmoniously. Come, drink wine and eat. ”
Yan Zi beckoned the two big men to sit down, and then served each other vegetables. The two big men awkwardly took the dish from Yan Ziji, looked at each other and ate awkwardly, and didn't know what it was like to chew it.
Yan Zi looked at it and sneered, but it was good to have such progress, after all, without himself in the middle, the two of them might be able to fight openly and secretly.
No matter what, although she doesn't know what went wrong among them, she firmly believes that as long as she insists on reconciling from it, she will be able to smooth out everything between them, after all, the rise and fall of the country requires the joint efforts of civil ministers and military generals, and the last thing that can happen is infighting, once infighting, it will become a handle for others to use, so Yan Zi must find a way to help them overcome it.
After a strange meal, Yan Zi wanted to ask them to stay for a cup of tea or something, who knew that when he mentioned tea, Bai Jikao suddenly tensed his nerves, and then his face turned pale as if he had a lot on his mind, and before he could ask, he had already retired first.
Yan Zi didn't stay any longer, now only Sheng Linsheng was left, he was his senior brother, Yan Zi had nothing to hide, and asked bluntly.
"What are the contradictions between you, and why are you so difficult to get along with?"
Yan Zi's words asked Sheng Linsheng was speechless, and he thought for a long time before he reluctantly came out with such a sentence: "He is too self-righteous, and he speaks without brains, and being in the company of this kind of person will only lower my identity." "Say these words with a hard bang.
On the contrary, in Yan Zi's ears, Sheng Linsheng is even more unkind, compared to Bai Jikao, who is more amiable, but what else can he say because of his personality, although he has always been cold, he is very good to himself, so he is reluctant to force him to accept Bai Jikao.
It seems that the problem should be a personality problem, one is too wordy and annoying, and the other is too dull and cold. Well, I finally found the symptoms, it's time to prescribe the right medicine, but Yan Zi suddenly became troubled again, and would rather hope that something happened between them and that it would be good to solve this matter. If it's a personality issue, it's hard to reconcile.
Maybe time can smooth everything out, Yan Zi could only pray silently.
The scene suddenly fell into coldness, Sheng Linsheng kept his face stiff and didn't speak, Yan Zi was already exhausted and didn't know what to say. The relationship between the two seems to be a little estranged, and a strange sense of estrangement arises spontaneously, I don't know if it's a psychological effect or if it's really so. This made Sheng Linsheng a little scared, the only relatives he lived in the world were Yan Zi and Shi Niang, if Yan Zi was estranged from him, then what was the point of living by himself. He doesn't want fame and fortune, and he doesn't want to be famous, as long as he stays by Yan Zi's side silently, once Yan Zi has such a sense of distance from him, he will be panicked.
No, we must break such a dull atmosphere, Sheng Linsheng thought about it and suddenly said, "Be careful." ”
"Huh?" Yan Zi didn't understand why he blurted out such a sentence "Why?" Just because there is a gap between you, do you want me to be wary of him too? But I am the emperor, and it is necessary to appoint meritocracy, if you beware of everyone, how can you govern the country? ”
