This time, Li Linfu really didn't take the initiative to provoke.

There was a vacancy in the six departments of the court, Zhang Jiuling and Li Linfu each recommended one person, Zhang Jiuling recommended Yan Tingzhi, and the person recommended by Li Linfu was named Xiao Jiong.

One day, there was a happy event in the families of colleagues in the DPRK and China, and Yan Tingzhi and Xiao Jiong went to give gifts. Xiao Jiong mistakenly pronounced "Fu La" in "Book of Rites" as "ambush hunting", and was made fun of by Yan Tingzhi. Then Yan Tingzhi also informed Zhang Jiuling of the matter: "We already have a 'roe deer minister' in the court, do we need another 'ambush hunting squire'?" ”

Zhang Jiuling felt justified, so he demoted Xiao Jiong to the local assassin history. At the same time, there was an assassin surnamed Wang who was accused of corruption, and Yan Tingzhi actually ran for it non-stop, very dedicated, and let Li Linfu catch the handle.

The opportunity must not be missed, Li Linfu turned his head and told the matter to the sky, and after speaking, he looked at Xiao Jiangyuan with an innocent face - you see, this is fate, and I can't help it.

Seeing Li Linfu staring at Xiao Jiangyuan, Xiao Jiangyuan still looked helpless, Li Longji frowned slightly.

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while, and said strangely: "Yan Shilang and Wang Thorn Shi are not related, how can they ......?"

Li Linfu said with a smile: "General Xiao doesn't know that the wife of this Wang Tingshi is none other than Yan Shilang's ex-wife. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan: "......"

"I can't see it, Yan Shilang is quite affectionate, but it's a pity that he used it in the wrong place." Li Longji's gaze swirled back and forth between Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Linfu, and his tone was a little weird, "The general went out to see, why hasn't Zhang Xianggong come over yet." ”

"Didn't everyone just go to announce it?" Xiao Jiangyuan noticed that Li Longji was wrong, but he didn't understand why he was doing this.

"If you want to go, go as soon as you ......"

Xiao Jiangyuan had no choice but to get up and walk outside the hall. She noticed that something was wrong with Li Longji, but she couldn't figure it out, could it be that Yan Tingzhi's matter made him angry like that?

Li Linfu is also a man, and as a bystander, his capture of Li Longji's emotions is much more accurate than Xiao Jiangyuan's. He couldn't help but tremble - as early as when Princess Taiping was still there, he had heard about the ambiguous rumors about Li Longji and Xiao Jiangyuan, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, because he knew that those rumors were either released by Princess Taiping to slander Li Longji, or Li Longji was released to divert everyone's attention, and most of the content was false and could not be true. Later, he gradually entered the officialdom and gradually got to know Li Longji, and he didn't think that Li Longji would like men.

But looking at it today, Li Linfu is not sure. He just had a little eye contact with Xiao Jiangyuan, and Li Longji was a little unaccustomed to it, and deliberately supported Xiao Jiangyuan. He didn't believe that Li Longji was in a hurry to see Zhang Jiuling - Zhang Jiuling was already a prime minister who was about to stop for Li Longji, just to see when Zhang Jiuling stepped on Li Longji's bottom line - Li Longji did this to make him look at Xiao Jiangyuan less.

He has struggled for so many years before he finally gained Li Longji's respect and favor from the bottom of his heart, but he can't stumble for a Xiao Jiangyuan. When Xiao Jiangyuan led Zhang Jiuling into the hall, he lowered his head and simply didn't even look at Zhang Jiuling.

Hearing about Yan Ting, although Zhang Jiuling also frowned, he still said: "This matter is quite unbelievable. Since she is an ex-wife, it shows that Yan Shilang has no relationship with the Wang family lady for a long time, and he has no friendship with Wang Tingshi, how could Yan Shilang help Wang Tingshi exonerate himself for the sake of the Wang family's wife? ”

Li Longji glanced at Zhang Jiuling meaningfully: "Zhang Aiqing, I'll give you another chance, what do you think of Yan Shilang's favoritism?" ”

Zhang Jiuling took a deep breath and sighed: "If there was really a private relationship, I wouldn't have separated from each other at the beginning; If there is no personal affection, it cannot be said to be favoritism. ”

Li Longji's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "Although I am away...... It's selfishness. ”

Where is this talking about Yan Tingzhi and his ex-wife? is clearly accusing Zhang Jiuling and Yan Tingzhi of being selfish.

After this incident, an ordinary case of embezzlement not only became a case of favoritism by Yan Tingzhi, but was also extended by Li Longji to the case of Zhang Jiuling's party. On the second day, despite countless arguments in the court, Pei Yaoqing broke his mouth, but he still failed to shake Li Longji's determination. After all, he dismissed Zhang Jiuling from the post of prime minister, appointed him as Shangshu Zuocheng, and at the same time let Li Linfu take over the post of Zhongshuling.

Zhang Jiuling had just thanked him, and Li Longji reappointed Pei Yaoqing as the right secretary of the Shangshu, and promoted the ox cyclamen to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the three products of the Tongzhongshu Menxia, and ruled all the affairs of the province under the door.

The era of Zhang Pei and the others has become a thing of the past, and the era of Li Linfu has finally arrived.

In Xiao Jiangyuan's view, the two letters of worship were like two slaps in the face, slapped Zhang Jiuling in the face, but Zhang Jiuling was not sad or angry, and accepted it calmly and calmly. This suddenly reminded her of a word: spit on your face.

After retiring from the dynasty, she personally sent Zhang Jiuling outside the palace, and listened to Zhang Jiuling: "I'm really ashamed, Zhang was originally extremely opposed to eunuchs interfering in politics, but if it was General Xiao, Zhang would be more relieved." ”

"Zhang Zuocheng has won the award." Xiao Jiangyuan said goodbye, "Xiao can only be sent here." ”

"General Xiao, please stay." Zhang Jiuling solemnly arched his hand towards Xiao Jiangyuan, and said in a low voice, "Although Zhang is no longer the prime minister, there is one thing that I still want to entrust to General Xiao - to keep the crown prince." ”

"Why did Zhang Zuocheng say this?"

"If Zhang is not in the phase, the prince is in danger, is the reason not clear to General Xiao? This matter is not easy to do, if General Xiao agrees, Zhang will be grateful in this life, if he doesn't agree......" Zhang Jiuling paused a little blankly, and suddenly shook his head and smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, maybe this is fate." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Xiao can only say that under the premise that the prince is not wrong, Xiao can intercede for him, and Xiao cannot guarantee the success or not, but if it is ......"

"But if the prince is really rebellious, he will ask General Xiao to personally arrest and take care of him, and ask the saint to deal with it according to law, not to lynch him, and before he is convicted...... Don't let people hurt the prince's life. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan returned to Li Longji's side in awe, and as soon as he stood still, he realized that Li Longji was wrong.

Since yesterday, he has been so awkward. At first, she thought that this was because although the dismissal of Zhang Jiuling was his decision, it did not prevent him from feeling sorry for Zhang Jiuling, but now that the overall situation has been decided, why does he still look like he ignores her?

Think about it carefully, his appearance only started after Li Linfu's meeting yesterday, could it be that this matter is related to Li Linfu?

After Li Longji took a nap, Xiao Jiangyuan went to the door of Zhongshu and stopped Li Linfu, who was about to go home after the office, but saw that Li Linfu dodged and dodged himself, and refused to even look directly.

“…… What the hell is going on with you, making an appointment in advance? Is there something on my face that is disgusting? Xiao Jiangyuan seems to have a good temper, but he is not without a temper. In front of Li Linfu, who was already acquainted, she didn't bother to pretend anymore, so she directly stretched out her arms and stopped in front of Li Linfu.

On the first day of his tenure, the new official bumped into such a plague god, and Li Linfu also had a headache. Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's tough attitude, like a Xingshi asking for guilt, Li Linfu sighed: "General Xiao won't think that this matter is the fault of the brother slave, right?" ”

Li Linfu really didn't want to have anything to do with such a secret matter of the Son of Heaven, but if he didn't make it clear, presumably Xiao Jiangyuan would not let him go, so he had no choice but to whisper to Xiao Jiangyuan, and then said: "Brother Nu said all this, and he forgot it after he finished speaking." ”

By the time Xiao Jiangyuan returned to Li Longji's dormitory, Li Longji had already woken up. He was sitting on the edge of the couch, raising his hand and rubbing his forehead, but when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan coming back, he moved stiffly, allowing himself to face in another direction.

Xiao Jiangyuan asked everyone else to step back and sit on the side facing Li Longji: "Why? ”

"What, why?" This was a subconscious response, Li Long basically didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Jiangyuan, but his body reacted too quickly, he hurriedly turned around and turned his back to Xiao Jiangyuan.

Xiao Jiangyuan stared at Li Longji's side face: "Why do everyone sit in the six palaces, hug each other left and right, and never allow concubines to be jealous and make trouble, while the ministers just communicate with the courtiers on official affairs, but they have to bear everyone's dissatisfaction?" ”

"When did I hug left and right?" Li Longji immediately retorted, thinking about it and feeling that something was not right, "When did I not find only one when I was lucky?" Bah, that's not right, Li Longji gritted his teeth and said, "Where am I dissatisfied with you?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan tilted his head suspiciously, listening to Li Longji's voice turn from strong to weak:

"I clearly ...... Resentment with the men who are looking at you. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan blinked slowly: "...... I see. ”

It turned out that Li Linfu was not right, her Ah Lang was not jealous at all, and it was not that she didn't like her having too much contact with other men, her Ah Lang was obviously angry with Li Linfu and others, and he was not angry with her at all.

“…… Do you see me being close to other women and not feel uncomfortable? Li Longji asked.

"It seems to have been."

Li Longji turned around: "Then do you feel annoyed when you see those women?" ”

"They have no enmity or grudge against the minister, why do the ministers bother them?" Xiao Jiangyuan shook his head, "The minister is just everyone's courtier, and the concubine is everyone's family, and the minister has no power and no position to be upset and hateful." ”

"It's not easy to want power and position, haven't you already compared yourself to a concubine?"

Xiao Jiangyuan wanted to deny it, but blurted out: "Don't you like concubines and jealousy?" ”

Li Longji suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "So what do you mean...... If you become a concubine, you will be jealous of me? ”

What surprised Li Longji the most was that although the results were all rejections, this was the first time, Xiao Jiangyuan did not rush to deny it at the first time, does this mean that she is no longer so repulsive?

Xiao Jiangyuan, who has always been clear-headed and articulate, is getting more and more confused at the moment. How can they ...... Speaking of which? She had no choice but to say, "The minister didn't say that." ”

"Just because you didn't say that doesn't mean it doesn't mean it." Li Longji gradually approached Xiao Jiangyuan, and when he saw her move, he was about to stand up, so he hurriedly reached out and pulled her back, then grabbed her shoulders, turned around, and pressed her to his couch.
