There are piles of gifts, envy of the world, and one of the things that idle people like to do is to crowd in front of the Anle County Lord's Mansion to watch the excitement, and see which nobles have given gifts to the Anle County Lord.

As expected, the ladies of the harem gave Mu Wu heavy gifts, and even the queen mother rewarded a lot of good things, and asked the attendants who came to send things to pass the word, and when the county lord's health improved, she often entered the palace to visit her old man.

The crown prince, the king of Qi, and the king of Zhao were not left behind.

Seeing the eyes of the people of the capital, they all said that they had never seen a girl who could be loved and valued by so many nobles, and the once glorious county lord of Jiamin, now the crown princess and the county lord of Anle can't be compared at all.

The more things at the birthday banquet went through the evil, as the Duchess of Mu Guo was confined in the mansion, Mu Shizi was recuperating, and all kinds of rumors about the twins were noisy in the world, some people believed what the Duchess of Mu Guo said, and some people felt that Mu Shizi was taking the lead in military merit, at this time there was a news that sounded extremely absurd, the real young general was a heroine dressed as a man.

No one will believe this rumor, after all, it is a young general known as the God of Killing, who has killed countless people and has been on the border for many years, how can a girl do it?

Even the most famous county lord of Anle is afraid that he can't do it.

Most people took the news as a joke, and most laughed at those who believed it.

However, no matter how many people questioned it, this absurd rumor was the most widely spread.

******

"The Third Son."

"Shousuke-sama."

Liu Saburo was elegant and dignified, and bowed to the old man in civilian clothes, "I don't know if you let the younger generation come, what do you command?" ”

"Don't dare to be the first assistant, the old man is now unofficial and light, and he will leave for his hometown early tomorrow morning." The old man sitting behind the bookcase took off his purple official robe and wore a light robe, showing a bit of the affinity of the old man next door, "After not being the first assistant, the old man not only felt relaxed, but also saw things that he hadn't seen before. ”

His words obviously didn't have any effect on the teenager in front of him.

The young man was straight, gentle, and listened carefully, as if he had listened to his words, but in fact, how many words could really enter his heart?

The former Shoufu shook his head silently, "In the end, it is a high-level disciple taught by the emperor, and the blue is better than the blue." ”

Without expecting Liu Saburo to speak, the old man curled his beard and asked, "I've been pondering, if I refuse to give up the position of the first assistant, what should the third son do?" ”

"You are a smart man, the emperor always says that only you understand the holy will of the whole court, how can you disappoint the emperor?" Liu Saburo smiled gently.

The old man smiled self-deprecatingly, "If the old man was smart, he wouldn't have received a gift from the third prince before entering the palace, the old man just didn't understand, why did the third son mention the old man?" If the old man doesn't leave, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the third son? It is enough to help the third prince shelter from the wind and rain for a while, so as not to expose the third prince to the court too early. ”

"If the old man perceives the holy will, he should stand up for two years until he ......"

The old man's clear and deep eyes are slightly condensed, and he has been the first assistant for many years, even though he is old and has little energy, his political sense of smell is still keen, "Until the old man is dealt with by the emperor, he is better to dismiss the official and return to his hometown, and he is almost afraid that he will be beheaded all over the house, and his descendants will be exiled, and he will never return to Beijing, and the emperor will ...... It's not that the emperor is ruthless and unjust, but that every emperor will not let it go...... Let go of the person who wrote the posthumous photo for the first emperor. ”

The study room where the books were packed and packed suddenly fell silent, the empty bookshelves were even more desolate, and the wind blowing through the window lattices brought a bit of sadness.

Liu Saburo raised his eyes, the old man sat on the chair, his eyes were dark and bright, and he still had the spirit of the first assistant who had dominated the empire for many years, "Uncle is different from the emperors of the past, whether you resign or not, your uncle will not ignore your contribution to the empire and the court over the years because of a posthumous photo, the first sentence that my uncle taught me is to look at people comprehensively, black is not necessarily black, white is not necessarily white." ”

Although the first assistant formed a gang, catered to the queen mother, and did some things that the emperor was not very satisfied with, when the queen mother was auxiliary to the government, the first assistant coerced the emperor several times openly and secretly, but the emperor never thought of beheading the first assistant!

"Uncle's evaluation of you is five points of merit, three points of fault, and two points of greed."

The old man, who was still calm, suddenly had tears in his eyes, and choked up: "Your Majesty, ......"

He forgot the reason why Liu Saburo came, and sighed inexplicably for the emperor's evaluation, Liu Saburo waited patiently until the old man wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a pity that the old man is old after all, otherwise the old man is willing to do his best for the emperor again!" ”

Liu Saburo pulled the corners of his mouth, and then stayed in the first auxiliary position? I'm afraid that the emperor may really attack him, after all, the emperor doesn't want anyone to stop him from implementing the new policy.

"Anyway, the old man wants to thank the third son." He took out a wooden box from his sleeve, rubbed it for a long time, and finally sighed: "I have heard the master say that the country is always young, and you are the future of the empire. ”

"Help our emperor lay the foundation for the prosperity of the empire for a hundred years, in fact, the old man does not understand, but he can't help himself, a hundred years of rules, a thousand years of tradition, the old man does not have the courage and strength to destroy."

Liu Saburo looked at the wooden box in a daze.

"Take it, take it." The old man was still satisfied with Liu Saburo's hesitation, whether he was acting or not, after all, he was not eager to take advantage of it, his appearance was not ugly, he was still calm and practiced, and he was not as impulsive and ecstatic as a young man.

If this thing was placed in front of the prince, he believed that they would break their heads for this thing.

Or the emperor will train people.

If the three princes have always been raised by the emperor...... The old man secretly said that it was a pity, no matter how well the princes did at this time, I am afraid that it would be difficult to really please the emperor.

The emperor is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, he is a very assertive person, the more gentle he is, the more ruthless he is!

Suddenly, his heart moved, he looked at Liu Saburo and was distracted, and after a long time, he muttered, "Won't it?" How is this possible? ”

Liu Saburo took the wooden box, which was the ultimate purpose of his visit to Shousuke, and looked up suspiciously and asked, "What do you think of?" ”

The old man shook his head again and again, he didn't want to die, and he didn't want his family to be beheaded by the emperor, he thought that he would offend the current emperor even more than writing an edict to the first emperor to abolish the emperor's will, once any news leaked out, not to mention that he had five points of credit to the empire, that is, a lot of credit, and the emperor would not allow him to live.

"The third prince has a great future in the future, ten years later will be the leader of the power of the government and the opposition, today the third prince can come to visit the old man, the old man should advise the third prince before parting, it is a parting gift to the third son, do not learn from the previous dynasty...... The public is in seeking the country, and the clumsy is in seeking a living. ”
