Xiao Tingyi and King Ming haven't seen each other for a long time, and when they start drinking, they naturally want to have fun.

So, the two of them drank until the middle of the night, and they were drunk one by one, and they were confused, and they muttered: "Happy!" ”

Ye Qingli was really angry and funny, while Xiao Jingxin sighed, Grandpa Nine was really powerful.

Because, she had never seen her grandfather drink so unscrupulously with others, as the head of Castle Peak Academy, he was a teacher and a model for students.

So he is usually very self-disciplined, and he is also very good at restraining himself, on weekdays, when to get up, when to rest, when to do something, every move has rules, and he never relaxes.

Even if it's a drink, it's just a simple drink.

It can be seen that King Ming was really happy to see Xiao Tingyi.

Knowing that King Ming had returned to the capital, the next day, Gao Ruzhen took the initiative to come to visit.

He is the face of a country, and he is also a person who sincerely worries about the country, so the matter of 'the country cannot be without a king for a day' is more important in his heart than eating and sleeping by himself.

The emperor is the most important spiritual symbol and leader of a country, and he has always been in a situation of no owner, which will cause panic in the hearts of the common people.

After all, a group of dragons without a leader can only be a swarm of headless flies.

The people's hearts do not fall to the ground, for fear that when something happens, they will endanger themselves, and this day will be boring.

"Why did the Prime Minister come here in person, and sent someone to pass it on, I just want to visit."

Although King Ming is also the prince of the Eight Classics, and he is also in charge of Qingshan Academy, in the face of Gao Ruzhen, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, King Ming is also very respectful and polite.

Whether it is age, qualifications, or contributions to the cadres, Gao Ruzhen can afford this respect.

"His Royal Highness King Ming is also serious."

Gao Ruzhen waved his hand and said, "The lower officials came here to ask about something. ”

His opening to the point made King Ming a little surprised.

However, when you think about it, you will understand.

After all, he is the prime minister, the primary assistant minister of the king of a country, and the things he has to work for the sake of the cadres and the people are far more complicated than the emperor, but now, there is no king in the country, and he is panicked.

Saying that, Gao Ruzhen stood up, straightened his collar, and then said solemnly, "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness King Ming, is you willing to ascend the throne and serve as the king of a country, shoulder heavy responsibilities for the great cadres and seek the well-being of the people?" ”

King Ming also shook his head briskly immediately, "I don't want to." ”

Gao Ruzhen: ......

Reluctant???

"Prime Minister, I am used to living a quiet and comfortable life, and it is already a blessing in life to be accompanied by hundreds of poems and books all day long."

King Ming said, and took out a somewhat old book from his sleeve, shook it, and said, "This is the only book for many years, I have always loved it, but if it looks like a twist, I may doze off." ”

After teaching at Qingshan Academy for many years, he has long since stopped seeing himself as a prince, so the self-proclaimed name of a prince has long since dissipated into poetry and books like a passing cloud.

Whoever he addressed him, he referred to himself as 'I'.

And Gao Ruzhen couldn't help but be helpless.

King Ming doesn't want to, but the country can't be without a king for a day!

And Xiao Tingyi drank tea leisurely and said, "Don't worry, Lord Prime Minister, the Seventh Emperor Brother is not happy, and there is the Great Emperor Brother." ”

"His Royal Highness?"

Gao Ruzhen sighed, and said with some worry, "The news has been sent, but the frontier is a little far away from the capital, and if His Royal Highness Dingwang arrives, it will take half a month." ”

He didn't know if anything would happen in this little half a month.

The kingdom cannot be without a king for a day!

Xiao Tingyi understood what he meant, so he said again, "Don't be impatient, Lord Prime Minister, this king knows that the country cannot be without a king for a day, but now, isn't there you, the elder of the three dynasties, don't be too nervous." ”

And Gao Ruzhen pursed his mouth and almost didn't shout.

How old am I!

How many days will I live, I don't know!

I don't know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident, but now that no one has ascended the throne, can I not be in a hurry!

Even if you're dead, you won't be blind!

And King Ming noticed Gao Ruzhen's abnormality, so he said, "Prime Minister, please rest assured, even if no one ascends the throne for the time being, none of us will stand idly by in state affairs, and I have already discussed with Xiaoyi to conduct an assessment in the court to make these officials suffer." ”

Gao Ruzhen's eyes suddenly lit up.

Appraisal of officials?

When Xiao Mingrui was in power, he liked to engage in face projects, and many officials were promoted because they could make sycophants and be ingratiating, but the real ability was not enough to match the official position of the party.

This has led to the exclusion of really good people, which has led to deformities in officialdom.

Many people are only willing to do their best to please people, but they are unwilling to make serious efforts, and if this goes on for a long time, it will not be a good thing for the future of Daqian.

For example, Zheng Enyi, he doesn't have many merits, but his bad heart is not less, and he even dares to fornicate with other countries, which is really hateful!

And the official assessment planned by King Ming is really timely.

Gao Ruzhen understands that although he is the prime minister, he is old after all, and he has the ability to succeed Zhen Dian, but his prestige in the court is not big enough.

Now, no one is willing to ascend the throne, and the people in the DPRK and China have begun to have their own thoughts, and they are all watching with their eyes, and once the news of the enthronement comes out, they will immediately visit Bajie.

In the long run, if the atmosphere is not right, the country will not be a country.

After thinking of this, he couldn't help but open his eyes again and looked at Xiao Tingyi.

Could it be that His Royal Highness King Xian deliberately did not ascend the throne, just to wait for those pests of the court to wait, show the fox tail, and then punish it conveniently?

His Royal Highness the Idle King is really thoughtful!

So, he nodded, came back from his contemplation, and said solemnly, "Lord Wang, this official assessment is really a good way!" ”

"This king thinks so too."

Xiao Tingyi drank tea and said, "The Seventh Emperor Brother has accumulated a lot of experience in governing Qingshan Academy for so many years, if Zhen Chengzhu is free, he can come and sit down, and then return what he talked to to the prime minister, the prime minister himself is old, and the weather is so hot, he should still focus on recuperation." ”

"What the prince said makes sense."

Gao Ruzhen was slightly surprised, and then, he smiled happily.

Xiao Tingyi's words are equivalent to telling him that if Zhen Dian takes over the post of prime minister in the future, he will support it, so if there is anything, it is okay to let Zhen Dian come over and talk on his behalf.

Anyway, he will always be the prime minister in the future, and it is time for him to come forward to experience it alone.

Moreover, he also asked Zhen Dian to come over and communicate with King Ming!

As for what report, it is all face-saving words, no matter what Zhen Dian hears King Ming, it is equivalent to a student listening to a class, and how much he can comprehend is his own knowledge!

One more teacher to teach, and he is also the person in charge of Castle Peak Academy, this is a godsend!

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite."

King Ming remembered something again, and said, "I'm here, just bring back a few books, it is the only book of a famous minister's handwriting hundreds of years ago, if Zhen Chengzhu comes, just prepare a thin gift." ”

Gao Ruzhen was happy again.

After all, can the book in King Ming's hand be bad?

As soon as you shoot casually, it's the only one with years!

If Zhen Dian can communicate more with King Ming, he will definitely be able to gain a lot!

So, Gao Ruzhen nodded again and smiled even more happily, "His Royal Highness King Ming is really polite, Xia Guan first thanked His Royal Highness King Ming for Zhen Dian in advance." ”

King Ming waved his hand, "Although good books are precious, but to play a role in the books of capable people, that is the best use of preciousness, if you only put it, it will be no different from a pile of waste paper." ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

Gao Ruzhen now feels that the image of King Ming is really tall, and he can afford the title of 'Ming'!

Sensible! Understand people! Transparent and open-minded!

"Then in that case, let's wait for the eldest brother to come back, and then discuss."

Xiao Tingyi didn't seem surprised by the scene in front of him, and even had some expected feelings, Gao Ruzhen couldn't help but smile helplessly, and said, "Okay, I can only wait for His Royal Highness King Ding to come back and discuss it again." ”

But this time, Gao Ruzhen was not in a hurry at all.

Because, after hearing about the proposal for the official assessment, he was more enthusiastic about this 'big project'.

After waiting to get rid of these moths, it is also a very attentive gift to give Xinjun a clean, neat and orderly court.

He is also so old that he earns an extra day of life.

Before returning to the West, it will be in vain to engage in such a big project and add such a stroke to his career as prime minister!

Do!

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Idle King has been dragging it out like this, maybe there is something to do!

Blue is better than blue, and his old bones are already old after all, and he can only sigh with joy!

His Royal Highness the Idle King, it's not easy!

While thinking so, Gao Ruzhen got up with the support of the attendants, and said seriously, "In this case, the lower officials will leave first, and let Zhen Dian come over to listen to the teachings of the two princes later, and the follow-up matters of the official assessment, although the prince can order him, for the sake of the Kunlang court, we should fully cooperate!" ”

Engage in a big project, and,Also, train the next generation of prime ministers.。

He is as tall as he is, and he will not lose anything in this life!

"Okay, thank you, Prime Minister."

King Ming smiled and nodded, and together with Xiao Tingyi, got up to see him off.

And it wasn't until he watched Gao Ruzhen's sedan chair go away that King Ming sighed, "Old Prime Minister Gao has done his best for the great cadre all his life, and such a good minister is really my great luck." ”

"Zhen Dian is also good."

Xiao Tingyi hooked his lips slightly, "Prime Minister Gao Cheng's vision of people is very accurate, Zhen Dian is another Prime Minister Gao, upright, and selfless, but he is still young, after years of polishing, maybe he can surpass Prime Minister Gao." ”

"Yes."

King Ming nodded, although he hadn't seen Zhen Dian yet, but it was rare to hear Xiao Tingyi praise an irrelevant person like this, and he knew that this Zhen Dian was really good.

So, my heart was relieved.

At that time, after the purge of officials, even if he is not in the capital in the future, accompanied by a group of good talents, Xiaoyi will definitely be able to govern the cadres in an orderly manner and embark on a more prosperous road to a strong country.
