Changning spring

Before the ice on the river outside the city has completely melted, a new round of wind and rain has ushered in the city.

The Imperial History Platform, which has been set up for more than ten years, has been reused by His Majesty.

There was no wind in advance, even Xue Ji was a little dazed by this blow.

"What does Your Majesty mean, slap me in the face, isn't this just slapping his own face?"

As soon as the words came out, Xue Ji already had the answer in his heart.

Is it true that kings are like this when they are old, so why do they have to be suspicious of their subordinates? It is true that he proposed to remove the Yushitai, but everyone in the world knows that this is the meaning of the saint himself. Now that he is proposing to reuse it in the court, why, the order is changed every day, just to deal with his own prime minister?

Xu Lang hated and said, "If you want to say that there is no Chen Shao here, I don't believe it."

Xue Ji frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Why haven't we heard any wind? What is Ji Baiqing doing in Zhongshu Province?"

The question was raised, and both of them fell into deep thought.

Someone who can hide it from even the prime minister...... Only Your Majesty.

After a long time, a sneer sounded in the silent room, which made people feel creepy.

"Well, I've got a taste of what it's like to be a very human minister."

Since the reuse of the Imperial Historical Observatory, almost all of the people who participated in the excerpts were the prime minister Xue Ji of the current dynasty, and even the old Imperial History Cheng who couldn't walk that way was shocked, and he talked endlessly in the court with a cane, and he had to cough twice every time he chattered a few words, so a toss, half a morning passed.

It's not a side matter, it's the 'old thing' a year ago, Jiang Luan, the son of the former prime minister Jiang Yan's family, somehow entered the criminal department, and within a year, he became a party governor.

As a result, these imperial histories made a big fuss in it, pointing directly at the current Prime Minister Xue Ji's corruption and bribery and blatant betrayal of officials.

When Cheng Bujing finally finished his tirade, Xue Jicai slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask what Lord Cheng said, what is the evidence? If there is no evidence, there is still no need for this Yushitai to exist."

Cheng Bu stroked his beard and said, "Lord Xue had a private meeting with Jiang Luan before the exam, but someone saw it with their own eyes."

Xue Ji was shocked in his heart, Jiang Luan came to find him, but he refused to see the guests because he took into account people's words, and specially asked Wang Qu to stare at it so that no one could see it, why did he let them move to the court?

As soon as he raised his head, he was met by Qin Xu's inquiring gaze.

"Prime Minister, what do you explain?"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that there would be another war of words and a good show to watch today.

Xue Ji said, "The minister doesn't know how to explain it."

Hearing this cold tone without a trace of emotion, the courtiers were stunned, and Qin Xu was also a little surprised.

"What does the prime minister mean, admit it?"?

"Nonsense." Xue Ji sneered: "The minister still doesn't know what Jiang Luan looks like, how many feet long is fat or thin, and the account books at home are clean and innocent, what do you recognize? Admit wrongs?"

Cheng Bu smiled and said, "Lord Xue, who can prove your innocence?"

Xue Ji retorted, "Then what can Lord Cheng do to prove the sin of your desire?"

The two fell into an impasse, and Cheng Bu was shocked and had the heart to argue with him for a few more nights, but when he was old, his body was not as good as before, and he was out of breath and couldn't even stand on his feet after a few words.

Xue Ji chuckled secretly in his heart, this old thing is also stubborn enough, after so many years, what are you still struggling with, is it not good to return to your hometown and return to the field.

After a "scattered" order, the ministers left one after another, Xue Ji dared to move a step, but found that the figure on the dragon chair did not move. Years of understanding of Qin Xu reminded him that there was still something to do.

So, Xue Ji paused and didn't leave in a hurry, until only the two of them were left in the Zichen Palace.

"You did it?"

Hearing this question, Xue Ji felt a chill in his heart. I thought it was just Chen Shao who hated him to the bone and pressed him step by step, but His Majesty's connivance with Chen Shao was just to contain the power. It was only now that he realized that the two of them were the same

There is no longer the word trust....

Xue Ji smiled self-deprecatingly, and asked rhetorically, "Your Majesty thinks that with the background of the minister's family, you need to rely on this kind of pickled thing to make money?"

Qin Xu frowned, and reminded in a deep voice, "Prime Minister, pay attention to your attitude."

Xue Ji was silent, and it took a long time to come to his senses, bent his knees and bowed his head, and respected: "Long live Your Majesty, long live."

For some reason, the more he was like this, the more Qin Xu felt embarrassed.

"Qingzhi, in my impression, you weren't like this when the first emperor was there."

Xue Ji was bitter in his heart, at first he also envied the good stories of the monarchs and ministers in the mouths of the deceased, and he also became the good stories of the kings and ministers in the mouths of the deceased, but how could there be so many good stories that could start and end well.

"When the first emperor was here, you were the prince. Now, you're a long live lord."

People outside always yearn for *** Houlu and bright lights, but people in the bureau may not. Day after day, year after year, life is in suspicion and vigilance, and one day you will get tired of it, and there will always be some original intentions that will gradually be forgotten.

Xue Ji gradually began to go to all kinds of wine bureaus, pushing glasses and changing glasses with unknown officials he knew, not for fame and fortune, but in the boring days, there was nothing else to do except the wine bureau to entertain, listening to the officials below boast a few words, it was really useful.

In the autumn of the sixteenth year of Changning

The Xue family had another happy event, and Xue Ji's youngest daughter was now just past the cardamom years, and she was married.

It is said to be a happy event, but it is also sad.

I don't know when Xue Yi met Xu Gu, the son of the Xu family, the two secretly ran out of the house and met by the stream outside the city to watch the sunset. If Wang Qu hadn't gone out of the city to run errands, I don't know how long the two children would have been hidden.

Fortunately, Wang Qu found out early and let others see it, and the reputation of the two in this life is over.

In the early years, this matter was not difficult to do, but in recent years, Xue Ji and Xu Que have gradually become estranged, Xu Que has even said that they are okay, and let him marry with a shy face, he can't do it.

Moreover, His Majesty's suspicion of him is deep enough, at this time, he can't wait to marry his daughter to an ordinary family, or send him back to Jiangling to marry a businessman, how dare he marry an official? What's more, this official is not a bystander, but a relative of the emperor and a Chinese secretary.

On the same day, Xue Ji asked Xu Gu to send him back to the house, everything that should be said was said, and he didn't ask a word that shouldn't be asked, it was all up to Xu Qian's decision.

I thought it was a big deal to press on both ends, and each of them found a good family for their children, and waited for a few months to pass. Who knew that early the next morning, Xu Yan came to the door with his wife.

If nothing else, it is for the proposition.

Mrs. Xu was greeted by Shen Yurong, and as soon as the two entered the mansion, they went to the backyard. Xue Ji welcomed Xu Yan to the front hall, let people put good wine, and then sat opposite each other, not knowing what to think for a while.

"Lord Xu, why bother."

Xu Yan looked at him and said with a wry smile, "I'm saving you."

Save me? It's almost the same as harming me.

Xu Yan's words, Xue Jizi didn't care. The prime minister's daughter married the son of his uncle, and the news of this would only make the suspicion on the top of his head a little more aggravated, and the knife on the side of his neck was a little closer, and there was nothing other than that.

The wine soaked through his throat and flowed into his abdomen, Xue Ji relieved this fierce energy and asked what was in his heart. "Brother Ruqing, you are going to be a family, can you teach me and guide me, what should I do?"

After so many years, he became more and more confused about what kind of prime minister and what kind of minister Qin Xu wanted.

Xu Yan knew what he was asking, but he couldn't bear to tell him...... Going out and going into the phase is a dead end with no return.

Unless, he's willing to take matters into his own pocket.

Xu Yan opened his mouth to soothe, "Relax, if you keep to yourself, who can do anything?"

The two looked at each other, were speechless for a while, picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly, and each looked up and drank it all.

The marriage is handled by two wives, so naturally there is no need for the gentlemen to bother, the two have been drinking in the main hall for a long time, and the topic has not left the government.

In the evening, the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark. There's nothing left to discuss about the engagement, Xu

Madame went out of the house and waited in the carriage, and sent someone in to urge her several times.

Xu Yan got up slowly, brushed his sleeves and dusted the folds on the hem of his clothes, glanced at Xue Ji meaningfully, and reminded: "The beginning of spring next year is another big exam, you know what situation you are in now, after so many years of friendship, I can only give you one sentence...... Take care."
