Li Ge Lao was a little caught off guard by this sudden news, and after he returned to his hometown, he asked Ji Yushen to take his place as the first assistant, which was something he had been looking forward to.

But now it's different.

The emperor is so sick that there is no cure, and he should occupy the position of the first assistant to support the second prince as the new monarch, then he is not only an important minister of the two dynasties, but an elder of the three dynasties!

He was reluctant to let go of this glory for a while.

But the emperor's will has been made, and the candidate for replacement is Ji Yushen, and he is embarrassed to hold on to it......

When he was in a dilemma, it was the officials under him who prompted him to make a decision.

"Congratulations to Shousuke-sama, congratulations to Shousuke-sama!"

A cadre of Li Party ministers rushed to the Li Mansion, but no one went to see Li Ge Lao, but they all flocked to Ji Yushen's side, and they all expressed their loyalty.

The mansion was very lively, but Li Ge Lao was deserted in the upper room.

Through the door of the courtyard, he saw that the gifts from outside were sent in rows, but they were not for him, they were all for Ji Yushen, and he inevitably felt a trace of loss in his heart.

He's too old to do anything.

The power of the Li Party has been transferred to Ji Yushen, and those people are only looking forward to Ji Yushen, and he, an old horse who knows the way, should abdicate and make way for Xian.

He sighed and leaned back in his chair, knowing that the tide was turning.

But it doesn't matter.

Ji Yushen took over the position of first assistant, and he could also help the second prince become the new monarch, and the glory and wealth of the Li family would still not change when the time came!

……

Ji Yushen received all the officials in the main hall of the small courtyard and had a very happy conversation.

The main hall of the small courtyard is naturally not as big as Li Gelao's upper room, and there are more officials who come, so it seems cramped here.

"I'm humble here, don't be surprised by your lords."

Ji Yushen said politely, ordered someone to send tea and snacks, and said that the hospitality was not thoughtful.

When the adults looked around, they knew that this small courtyard was the small courtyard of the daughter's family before marriage, and the decoration was very girlish, and the place was naturally not big.

After Ji Yushen and Li Ziyue got married, Li Ge Lao did not arrange another house for them, but only let Ji Yushen live in Li Ziyue's yard.

Then there was a humane: "Where is it, just to tell the truth, Lord Shousuke's place here is indeed too small." In the future, when the adults take over the government affairs of the DPRK and China, people come and go, will they not be able to do so in this small courtyard? Besides, it is not beneficial for Mrs. Ling and Mr. Ling to recuperate. ”

"Yes, doesn't the lower official remember that the emperor has rewarded Lord Shoufu with a mansion? Although it is not as big as the Li Mansion, it is much more spacious than the independent courtyard, isn't it convenient? ”

"That's right, why don't you move out and live another life? It's also much more comfortable than here. ”

In order to show their loyalty to Ji Yu, these people really dare to say anything, and they are not afraid of angering Li Ge Lao at all.

It would be strange if Elder Li Ge heard their words today, and he would not be angry.

Ji Yushen glanced out of the door, so many officials from the DPRK and China came here, Li Ge Lao must have heard the rumors, there were so many servants coming and going outside, and many of them were Li Ge Lao's people.

He smiled, "You love you, I understand it." It's just that although this yard is smaller, it's better for the family to live together after all. Otherwise, if I move out with my wife and children, and my father-in-law lives in such a large mansion alone, won't it be lonely and lonely? ”

"Lord Shoufu is really filial piety and kindness, admire and admire."

"Yes, we should all learn from adults......"

Li Ziyue walked to the bottom of the corridor, heard the voice of approval for Ji Yushen, and lowered her eyes slightly.

For Ji Yushen, saying such things against his heart is commonplace, right?

And what those officials said about filial piety and benevolence, I don't know if it will sting his revenge heart even more......

He has become the first assistant, which means that Li Ge is going to return to his hometown, and some things should be told to him before he officially returns to his hometown.

"Uncle."

When the hall was chatting lively, the servant suddenly came in from outside and said with a smile: "This is the fresh fruit just sent from outside, my uncle and all the adults should try it!" ”

When everyone saw it, he was really holding a crystal clear fruit in his hand, which was a rare thing in late autumn.

Ji Yushen nodded, the servant brought the fruit, and when the eyes of all the ministers were attracted by the fruit, he leaned into Ji Yushen's ear and whispered: "Master, the young lady has gone to the master's side." ”

Ji Yu's deep eyes lit up, his face was still silent, and he only nodded slightly.

He glanced at the roof and said lightly: "Tell him, no matter what, you can't let Elder Li Ge know." ”

The servant understood, and quickly withdrew with the empty plate.

Everyone in the hall was discussing, "How can there be such good fruit in such a late autumn season?" There is only the Li Mansion, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to see such a good thing in the palace! ”

Ji Yushen smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone, try it, please." ”

……

A ghostly black shadow rose and fell all the way from the roof of the small courtyard, and finally lurked silently on the roof of Li Gelao's upper house.

No one was aware of his existence.

He gently uncovered a tile on the roof, and through the slight gap, he saw that Li Ge Lao was sitting in the hall drinking tea, and Li Ziyue walked in from outside.

"The daughter greets her father."

The small gap on the roof flashed with a cold glow, and someone was holding a highly poisonous silver in the direction of Li Ziyue, but Li Ge Lao and Li Ziyue below didn't know anything.

"Sit down."

Li Ge was a little disappointed about today's events, but he didn't expect Li Ziyue to be so sensible that he would know to comfort him at this time.

With this daughter and grandson here, he can be regarded as an old man who is comforted.

Li Ziyue sat silently on the side, "Father doesn't look very good, is it because he is not feeling well?" These days. The imperial doctors in the palace are busy with the emperor's illness, why don't you invite a doctor from outside to take a look at your father? ”

Li Ge Lao shook his head, "It's useless." I'm old, and it's not uncommon for me to be inadequate. What's more, even if the imperial doctors in the palace were busy with the emperor's illness, they didn't dare to forget to order someone to send medicine to me. I'm still eating those ginseng Yangrong pills, what's the use? ”

He had a heart disease, and he knew he couldn't cure it.

Li Ziyue listened to Li Ge Lao's tone, seemed to think of something, and said tentatively: "The matter of my father's return to his hometown has been delayed for so long, and now that the dust has finally settled, I should be happy." ”

"Happy?"

Elder Li Ge snorted lightly, and he couldn't talk to his daughter, who didn't understand political affairs, but the loss on his face was clear at a glance.

Li Ziyue saw it in her eyes, and said in her heart that he really didn't want to leave the court.

Even though he had been working hard for Ji Yushen to take over his position, seeing that the emperor was seriously ill and had no hope of being cured, he rose up to control the court again.

Li Ziyue pursed her lips and stopped talking.
