Xiao Jiangyuan really thought about it, but of course he wouldn't say that: "The minister is afraid that the people below will be neglected and delay everyone's affairs." Don't...... Don't you want to come back to you as soon as possible? ”

Li Longji covered his lips with the back of his hand and coughed lightly twice: "That...... What's wrong with your illness? ”

"Thank you for the medicine, the wind and cold are no longer a big problem, but there are still some problems with this knee, Doctor Han has taken care of the minister, as long as there is less dampness and cold in the future, there will be no big problem."

Xiao Jiangyuan said lightly, but Li Longji frowned: "If this is serious, it may even be a problem to walk, you are so foolish that I am a yellow-mouthed child?" ”

In the past, when living in the Taiji Palace, how many eunuchs in the palace were old and had this disease, Emperor Ruizong treated them well, and had extended the medicine for them, and the imperial doctor at that time said that because the Taiji Palace was low, it was hot and humid in summer, cold in winter, and it was humid in all seasons, so it caused this disease.

What Li Longji remembers most clearly is that as long as they are in pain, they will encounter rain and snow, which is more accurate than Taishi Ling.

He suddenly remembered what Gorou had said a few days ago—he might have paid too little attention to her, and he didn't even know when she had started contracting such an illness.

In fact, how did Xiao Jiangyuan know? If it weren't for the obvious knee pain this time, she wouldn't have taken it seriously.

"The minister is still young, and he can always recuperate. At the moment, everyone's national affairs are more important. Xiao Jiangyuan walked to Li Longji and knelt down, letting him see clearly that he was indeed fine, "I heard ......

"Wait a minute." Li Longji suddenly interrupted, "Come on, bring a few more mats." ”

After the palace people brought a few cushions, Li Longji motioned for Xiao Jiangyuan to get up, and then personally laid out Xiao Jiangyuan before letting her sit down: "In the future, unless there is a big court meeting, you don't have to kneel, there are no outsiders at ordinary times, and you don't need to sit upright." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan looked down at the cushion under his knees, and the smile on his lips deepened: "Thank you for your concern." ”

Li Longji turned his head and looked away: "Have you heard the results of the election of officials, and want to ask me if I have made a choice among the two prime ministers?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan bowed his head and said, "Everyone is wise. After this incident, I am afraid that the minister is not the only one who thinks so. ”

Li Longji said: "My original intention is to solve this matter as soon as possible, and as for the method and result, it is secondary." In fact, I still prefer Xiao Xianggong, if I have to make a choice one day, I will also choose to dismiss Pei Xianggong. ”

As the so-called Son of Heaven is unfathomable, that's it. The ministers clearly saw that the Son of Heaven was standing on Pei Guangting's side, and their positions were adjusted accordingly, but they didn't expect the Son of Heaven to think so.

The most ingenious thing is that fate is even more so. Just as the two prime ministers ignited the war again and finally quarreled, all the ministers were ready for Xiao Song to be dismissed, but they didn't want Pei Guangting to suddenly fall ill and die.

Ministers: "!! ”

Xiao Song: "??? ”

It's also too unprepared.

Xiao Song won without a fight, as if in a dream, and couldn't believe it was true for a long time. Therefore, when Li Longji told him that he would personally choose the next lieutenant to assist him in managing state affairs, he was like being deaf, and only after Xiao Jiangyuan's several reminders did he understand what Li Longji had told him.

He, can, personally, choose the prime minister with whom he cooperates?!

This, this is a great honor, an unprecedented power, and the saint thinks so highly of him, so how can he not die without being in the dust?

After Xiao Song bowed and bowed gratefully and retreated, Li Longji couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed: "I really can't help it...... Change a pair to quarrel with a pair, this time let him pick it himself, it won't be like this, right? ”

"That's natural," Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't hide a smile at the corner of his lips, "Could it be that Xiao Xianggong would deliberately choose one to make him unable to get along with him?" ”

Li Longji This is also an opportunity for Xiao Song to show kindness to others, and the new minister is grateful for his kindness in recommending and promoting, so that he can obey his words and do a good job of assisting, so that there will be no discord and disputes.

Of course, Xiao Song knew this crucial point, so he carefully selected it among his friends.

A few days later, seeing that Xiao Song had no news, Li Longji asked, "General, how did Xiao Xianggong choose?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Xianggong...... It seems that he has taken a fancy to the right scattered horseman and serves Wang Qiu. ”

Wang Qiu was very impressed, and Li Longji was very impressed. After the enshrinement of Zen that year, he praised a total of four people in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, the first of which was Wang Qiu, and it was precisely because Wang Qiu did a good job in the local assassination history at that time that he later recalled him to Beijing to take up his post.

If it is Wang Qiu, restrained and modest, it is quite suitable.

Li Longji was ready to worship Wang Qiu as the prime minister, but when Xiao Song and Li Longji talked about the new prime minister, they changed the name to another person: "Shang Shuyou Cheng Han Xiu, Han Liangshi." ”

Although Li Longji felt strange, he didn't ask Xiao Song directly, but said, "Xiao Xianggong is optimistic?" Once he worships the prime minister, he cannot be replaced for a short time unless he commits a serious sin. ”

Li Longji was worried, but Xiao Song thought that Li Longji was questioning his own vision of looking at people, so he praised Han Xiu a lot, and almost patted his chest to assure Li Longji that this was a great talent for a generation of virtuous ministers.

In this case, Li Longji had no reason not to be allowed, so he ordered the Zhongshu Sheren to prepare a book, and promoted Han Xiu to the Huangmen Shilang and the Tongzhongshu Sect Pingzhangshi.

As soon as Xiao Song happily retired, Li Longji sent Xiao Jiangyuan to find out what was going on.

Xiao Jiangyuan* is not needed to investigate the matter, so naturally there are little eunuchs at the bottom to inquire, but in half a day, the little eunuchs came back and whispered to Xiao Jiangyuan. Xiao Jiangyuan nodded with a smile, and asked the little eunuch to go down to receive the reward.

After more than half a month of recuperation, Xiao Jiangyuan's complexion has improved a lot, Li Longji looks very relieved, and his mood has improved. He said in a brisk tone, "Looks like it's interesting? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said with a smile: "Xiao Xianggong did choose Wang Changshou, but Wang Changshou insisted on refusing. ”

Naturally, you can't make a big deal about choosing a new look, you have to observe and judge secretly, and you feel that it's almost, and you have to ask people to see if they are willing. Generally speaking, he will not be unwilling, unless he is like Yao Chong back then, it is also conditional to be the prime minister, after all, this is the position of the prime minister, under one person, above ten thousand people, leading hundreds of officials, how rare. So Xiao Song said directly to Wang Qiu, in the future, you and I will be the prime minister, but we must support each other, don't be discordant.

If Xiao Song values Wang Qiu the most, it is that he is honest and kind, and he will never compete with himself for anything, but Wang Qiu is too honest and feels that he can't be the prime minister at all, so no matter what Xiao Song says, he just shakes his head.

Who would have thought that anyone would refuse the position of prime minister? Xiao Song was a little anxious. Although the saint let him choose it himself, he couldn't delay it too long, so as not to cause the saint to think too much. Fortunately, Wang Qiu didn't know whether he was in a hurry to get out, or if he really thought about the country, the saint and him, and then recommended a candidate for him, which was Han Xiu.

Xiao Jiangyuan said while thinking back to Han Xiu's resume: "Shangshu Youcheng - oh no, it should be renamed Huangmen Shilang Han Xiu, the word is good, the system is promoted to the office, he was recommended as virtuous because of his noble character and integrity, and he has never been wrong with being an official for many years, and I heard that he is also a person who doesn't like to talk very much on weekdays." Wang Changshou was able to recommend him as soon as possible, presumably because he was divided into groups, knowing that he was also a person who was soft and easy to make, and suitable for Xiao Xianggong. ”

Li Longji knows even less about Han Xiu: "It doesn't matter what kind of personality he has, I just hope that from now on, the court will give me honesty and quiet, and there will be no more fights and noisy moths, and I will thank God." ”

"It should ...... Won't it? Xiao Jiangyuan didn't look forward to it so much, after all, those noisy and shouting songs, but she had to go through her eyes first, and then show them to Li Longji after screening, so most of the troubles were actually borne by her.

Li Longji also thought of this, so he took the initiative to grant her a leave of absence, so that she could leave the palace early and go home to have a good rest.

Xiao Jiangyuan was not polite to Li Longji, not only accepted it gladly, but also wanted to leave now.

Right now? It's just past noon. But when Li Longji said everything, he couldn't regret it, so he had to show his magnanimity and let Xiao Jiangyuan retire.

Xiao Jiangyuan first went to deal with the affairs of the Inner Servant Province and the Inner Flying Dragon Soldiers, and then he dressed up and left the palace, and happened to meet Pei Niangzi Wu at the palace gate.

Pei Niangzi is so clever, knowing that Xiao Jiangyuan treats herself differently from other noblewomen, she is also very close to her, and because Xiao Jiangyuan is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, she takes the initiative to come over to greet her when she meets her. She is obviously older than Xiao Jiangyuan, but she learns from the prince and princess, and also calls her "Ah Weng".

Recently, she just lost her husband, and she should have been keeping filial piety at home and closing the door, but she thinks that keeping filial piety looks at the heart rather than the body, and the living still have a lot to do, how can it be delayed for the sake of the dead? She was able to put on plain clothes for her late husband for three years, which was already very affectionate. So not long after her husband was buried, she became active again.

Thinking of the relationship between Pei Niangzi and Li Linfu, Xiao Jiangyuan's heart suddenly moved.
