No matter how much headache it has, it must be solved. Since Shi Wenzheng and Shi Feizheng made such a move, hanging Wang Xi's sword of Damocles high above their heads, Gu Panxi could only accept it.

Gu Panxi pinched his eyebrows and said, "Gao Shangshu, before you came, where was the bottom line for the emperor to tell you to bargain with us?" ”

Gao Zhiyuan's eyes widened, his face was stunned, and then he replied: "What does Madame mean by this?" The old minister just learned about this matter, and thought that this matter was related to the interests of the marquis and his wife, so he hurriedly came to the interrogation, how could the emperor and the old minister clearly say the bottom line of bargaining? ”

Shi Feiqing looked at Gu Panxi with interest, it was also good, why would she make such a judgment.

In the military, the three parts of setting a strategy, making judgments, and observing the slightest changes in the situation are all better than Gu Panxi. But in the matter of observing people in the micro, Shi Feiqing asked himself, he is indeed inferior to Gu Panxi, and there are many things worth learning from her.

Gu Panxi rolled his eyes, put one hand on his cheek, and said impatiently: "Gao Shangshu, what did Mrs. Ben just say?" Speaking a thousand things and ten thousand, we are all still our own family, and now in our own place, we should open the skylight and speak brightly. It's come to this juncture, why are you still hiding it, Gao Shangshu, and you want to play dumb riddles with me and Feiqing? ”

Gao Zhiyuan listened to Gu Panxi's words, but his face was still innocent, and he even said no, and even put on a thick-faced posture that he would not admit unless Gu Panxi completely pierced the window paper. Looking at him like this, it is not so much that he is thick-skinned, but that he is also good, how did Gu Panxi see through the fact that he was helping Shi Shi to ask the politician when the lobbyist came.

Gu Panxi let out a long sigh, clasped his hands around his chest, and said with a glance: "Gao Shangshu wants Mrs. Ben to completely pierce the window paper." Mrs. Ben can only let Gao Shangshu seek benevolence. Gao Shangshu himself said it first, if it is not a last resort, I hope that the two of us can cut off contacts and not provoke suspicion. Gao Shangshu carried out this matter very well until he reported to us not long ago because of the Battle of Tumubao. But after that, Gao Shangshu continued to implement this agreement, and did not waver in the slightest. ”

Gu Panxi said, said of his right index finger, and said: "Shi Feizheng and the emperor's determination to install Wang Xi as the overseer of our Shenji Army is a matter of the interests of Feiqing and Mrs. Ben, but this matter is not so important that Gao Shangshu can take the initiative to break the agreement and come to tell him." Isn't it? In other words, if it weren't for Gao Shangshu's special reason, this conversation would not have happened at all. ”

Gu Panxi knocked on the table and said with disdain: "The special reason for the official department Shangshu to come to our workshop to convey this matter, apart from the fact that Gao Shangshu himself got an order from the emperor to ask you, a person who is not in the name of the Qing Dynasty, to come as a lobbyist with this intimate relationship, what else?" Gao Shangshu, don't hold on, just admit it! ”

Gao Zhiyuan clapped his hands calmly and said: "Madame is really insightful, the old minister has the intention to hide it, and it is difficult to escape Madame's fiery eyes." ”

Gu Panxi glanced at Gao Zhiyuan's old fritter again, and said angrily: "Okay, since Gao Shangshu can calmly admit that he is here to be a lobbyist for the emperor, then let's not hide it and talk generously." Gao Shangshu, let's say, where is the bottom line of the emperor's draw? As I said, if this so-called bottom line is too much, we would rather dispel the idea of letting the Divine Machine Army be included in the military, and we will definitely not agree. ”

What Gu Panxi said was the truth, if the price of the Shenji Army being included in the military was that Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi were set aside, then why would they do such a thankless stupid thing?

If he were someone else, Gao Zhiyuan would definitely not be able to really cooperate with the open skylight to speak brightly, but he knew Gu very well

Panxi's temperament and ability, he knows that he really has a tug of war with Gu Panxi, and most of them are just talking too much, and he will not take advantage of anything.

Thankless things, even fools don't necessarily want to look at. Gao Zhiyuan is pretentious, and of course he doesn't bother to do such stupid things.

Thinking of this, Gao Zhiyuan immediately hugged his hand and confessed to Gu Panxi: "Don't hide it from Madame, the emperor is willing to agree, let the affairs and decision-making of the Shenji Army remain independent, and the overseers will only listen and report, and will not interfere." Unless the Overseer thinks that the decision of the Lord and his wife is likely to endanger the great force, they have the right to veto. ”

When he said this, Gao Zhiyuan was also feeling empty in his heart. What is the "power of veto", the Shenji Army is the henchmen personally cultivated by Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi, although they are not loyal enough to be willing to die for Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi anytime and anywhere (otherwise they will be certified by the petals of loyalty), but if Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi really persuade them to do something rebellious, such as usurping the throne, at that time, a mere overseer Wang Xi, can it really be stopped?

This is simply a condition added by Shi Wenzheng for the sake of his own face, and it is all façade work, and it is a majestic thing to say.

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi also knew this, so they didn't resist too much of the condition proposed by Shi Wenzheng.

It can even be said that the bottom line drawn by Shi Wenzheng is even better than what Gu Panxi originally expected.

Hehe, it seems that Shi Wenzheng, an old man, still understands my thoughts. If he takes a further step forward, I'm afraid I'll have to refuse sternly.

Gu Panxi glanced at Shi Feiqing, Shi Feiqing understood, and nodded, indicating that this condition was acceptable. Gu Panxi turned around and said to Gao Zhiyuan: "Gao Shangshu, please go back and tell the emperor, we can accept this condition." The Divine Army is willing to accept an Overseer who does not interfere in our internal affairs, and can guarantee that our entire army will actively cooperate with the Overseer's work. ”

"That's great!"

Gao Zhiyuan came with this task of being a lobbyist, and he was originally worried, on the one hand, he was asking about politics, and on the other hand, he was Gu Panxi, these two people, he knew that they were powerful, he had learned the means, and he understood how difficult it was to be sandwiched between these two people. Now that Gu Panxi simply agreed to Shi Qianzheng's request and accepted the conditions for the Overseer to be stationed in the Shenji Army, he was really relieved, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground safely.

The matter was done, and Gao Zhiyuan was not willing to delay in the Lu Dwarf Workshop, after all, he was still in a hurry to return to the palace to ask Shi Zheng for his life. So he hurriedly said a few more polite words, and prepared to leave and go to the palace.

Before leaving, Gu Panxi suddenly stopped Gao Zhiyuan and asked, "Gao Shangshu, how is Ma Shangshu now?" Promoted to Shangshu, there are so many chores in the department, and his pressure is not small, right? ”

Ma Shangshu, of course, refers to Ma Rushu, who was promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department.

When Gao Zhiyuan heard Gu Panxi's question, he immediately read the words inside, frowned, and said, "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, Ma Shangshu is all right." He was originally the left deputy waiter of the Criminal Department, with outstanding ability, and after serving as the secretary of the Criminal Department, although there were many affairs in the department, he was familiar with handling them. Mrs. Duode is so concerned about him, and when the old minister returns to the city, he will inevitably convey his wife's kindness to Ma Shangshu. ”

"Oh, that's good. Mrs. Ben is thinking that if Ma Shangshu is useful to me or Feiqing, or when there is anyone in this huge workshop, I and Feiqing will definitely not be stingy, and I will definitely do my best for Ma Shangshu. ”

"The old minister is like a concubine, thank you for the enthusiasm of the Hou Ye and his wife." Gao Zhiyuan said, solemnly bowing to Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi. Shi Feiqing hurriedly said "more courtesy" and helped him up

。

The conversation between the two that started suddenly ended abruptly. Gao Zhiyuan glanced at Gu Panxi again meaningfully, and threw out a sentence at the end: "Don't say it, if the old minister really needs help, he will definitely ask the Hou Ye and his wife for help." I hope that by then, the Hou Ye and his wife will also be able to open the door to the ministers. ”

After throwing off these words, Gao Zhiyuan went out of the door, boarded the carriage, and walked away.

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi kept sending him to the door, watching the distant shadow of the carriage disappear below the horizon.

Shi Feiqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Shameless woman, aren't you born to be a good player in officialdom?" ”

"How?" Gu Panxi's eyes widened and asked.

Shi Feiqing said: "You confessed that you were not fake stupid or really stupid before, and the name of Le'an's idiot is genuine." In this case, Gu Xiang shouldn't have had the opportunity to teach you the things in officialdom that are deceitful and secretive, and you don't have the opportunity to get the ears and eyes of other officialdom. If you weren't a natural officialdom, how could you be like a fish in water in this quagmire of power? ”

Gu Panxi scratched his face, and said in his heart that I am a human being in two lives, and the way and efficiency of obtaining knowledge and information in my previous life are ten times and a hundred times that of this era, and I deal with people in the bureau and captured prisoners all day long, if I can't even play with these little tricks and methods, wouldn't it be too bad and inferior?

Helpless, Gu Panxi couldn't say this kind of thing to Shi Feiqing, so he could only say with a thick face: "Or maybe I'm really a natural officialdom!" This kind of thing is talent, Wang Jiudan, you can't envy it. ”

"Ben Hou needs to envy you?"

Shi Feiqing's eyes widened, and his duplicitous appearance revealed a cuteness that was not commensurate with his heroic appearance.

Gu Panxi sneered and said, "It seems that you have seen through the time when I came and went with Gao Shangshu just now." Wang Jiudan, you say, is it me who has the wind, or Gao Shangshu, the old fritter, is slightly better. ”

Shi Feiqing was asked by Gu Panxi, and couldn't help but think about it carefully.

Gu Panxi suddenly asked Gao Zhiyuan about Ma Rushu's situation, which was to remind Gao Zhiyuan not to forget that in order to win him over, Gu Panxi supported his protégé Ma Rushu to the high position of Shangshu in the Criminal Department in order to win him over.

Gu Panxi is hope, and now in order to protect his life, he has swayed his position again, and has not firmly maintained Gao Zhiyuan in the same position with Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi, and can recognize the strength and potential of Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi, and strengthen his confidence and position.

Gao Zhiyuan replied to Gu Panxi, Ma Rushu is all right, and he is familiar with handling the affairs of the Criminal Department, and emphasized that he was originally the left deputy waiter of the Criminal Department, but he was expressing to Gu Panxi that Ma Rushu was originally a talent who could be qualified to be the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Gu Panxi's support for him was just icing on the cake, not a charcoal send.

Gu Panxi later mentioned that when Ma Rushu needed help, he could just speak, and emphasized that the number of people in the Lu Short Workshop was to show his strength and show Gao Zhiyuan that he was now in harmony with the times, and before his strength, he was only strong and not weak, but his name was slightly inferior to the past, and he was demoted from King Zhao to Marquis of Leshan.

Gao Zhiyuan finally relented, saying that he might also need the help of Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi one day. This sentence, although it is not a complete surrender, at least shows that Gao Zhiyuan is still biased towards Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi, but his family has a big business and there are too many people to take care of, so he can't act too hastily.

After thinking about it for a while, Shi Feizheng said: "But looking at the result, it should be a shameless woman, you have a small victory." ”

Gu Panxi was about to nod proudly, but Shi Feiqing continued: "But ......"
