Su Hu's death, like a floating leaf, died in the song.

The minister of civil and military affairs in the song of the court, who has a good relationship, came to pay a few pieces of paper money, and the bad relationship is over. Only Ji Chang, who was locked up in the prison, said that after hearing the news that Su Hu had drowned, he ran out of water and rice, and cried for three days and three nights.

Of course, this is just a small episode and does not change anything.

Time slowly wore away everything, and a month later, no one cared about Su Hu's life or death. Because at this time, there were suddenly more than a dozen elderly ministers in the DPRK, and they chose to return to their hometowns at the same time.

"Your Majesty, the old minister Zhang Jin, the old minister Chen Yuan, the old minister Fang Rong, the old minister Chai Rong and I are already old and frail, and today I specially told His Highness to return to my hometown."

In the Jinluan Palace, more than a dozen old ministers returned to their hometowns together, which immediately caused an uproar.

Among them, Prime Minister Shang Rong, who is already seventy-six years old and is still exerting his residual heat, is even more reluctant to give up on many people.

"Master Chen, you are only sixty-eight this year, why are you going to return to your hometown?" Without waiting for the king to speak, Shang Rong walked out of the crowd, her eyes full of emotion.

You must know that most of the many old ministers who have returned to their hometowns are around seventy years old, and many of them are a few years younger than Shang Rong.

Shang Rong and these more than a dozen ministers have been officials in the same hall for decades. At this time, everyone said goodbye to the old man and returned to his hometown, which also made Shang Rong can't help but wonder if he should also go, after all, he is not young anymore.

"Prime Minister! Chen Yuan is seventy-two years old this year, and he doesn't have a few years to live. In the last two years, my legs and feet have always been inconvenient. I plan to take a walk outside while I still have a breath to see the beautiful mountains and rivers that we have guarded all our lives. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister. It's time for us old people to make room for young people! When I return home, I plan to raise flowers, plant trees, and enjoy the blessings of my children and grandchildren. ”

"Lord Shang Rong, now that Lord Bigan is supporting him, there will be no chaos in the future. I see that you have not been in good health recently, so it is better to go with us, place your affection in the mountains and rivers, and go outside. ”

More than a dozen old ministers talked nonsense, some said they were going to fish, some said they were going to raise flowers, and some said they were going to play chess on the street with a chessboard.

What's more, he even invited Shang Rong to resign together. Before the flame of life is extinguished, we should also go outside and see more.

Listening to everyone's gossip, Shang Rong was also envious.

Thinking that as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, he had dedicated half his life to the Great Shang, Shang Rong couldn't help but secretly think: "I'm not young anymore, shouldn't I also learn from these ministers, and go back to my hometown to have a look before I can still move?" ”

When Shang Rong thought of this, she looked at Bigan.

As a sub-prime minister, Bigan is the number two person in the civil service, and there is no problem in assisting the king. Not only will it not cause turmoil in the DPRK and China because of his departure, but he will be able to let go of his hands and feet even more.

"Ai Concubine, these dozen ministers, returning to their hometowns together, such a scene is not easy to see!" Sitting high, the king put his arms around Daji's small waist and whispered in his ear.

As soon as he heard the words of the king, Daji smiled and said softly: "Your lord, you have worked hard and worked hard for my great business all your life, and you should also enjoy the blessings. And have you noticed that the prime minister's health has not been very good recently, and his movements are not as sharp as before. ”

This time, more than a dozen people returned to their hometowns together, and it was Fei Zhong who launched the clarion call. Similarly, these old ministers are just an introduction, and the real target is still against Shang Rong.

Sure enough, when he heard Daji talk about Shang Rong, a sudden look flashed in the king's eyes.

Shang Rong, the elder of the Three Dynasties, watched King Xu, step by step from the crown prince to the throne, and slowly grew old from the throne.

At this time, the king looked at Shang Rong, and Shang Rong's originally straight spine had bent down at some point. The white hair on his head is full of wind and frost, and he is really no longer young.

"Prime Minister, how is your health lately?" Sighing at the glorious years of the king, a rare sage, he asked Shang Rong with concern.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is fine. It's just that people are old, and their bodies and bones are a little disobedient. ”

Shang Rong heard the concern of the king of Xu, and there was a little smile on his face, and then he looked at the many old ministers who were returning to his hometown, and also said: "Your Majesty, Shang Rong is also old, and all the ministers today are all saying goodbye to the old and returning to their hometown, which also makes me very trance for a while." If I remember correctly, Shang Rong has been an official in the court for fifty years, and it is almost time for him to retreat bravely. ”

"Life is in a hurry, and there is no day off"

Listening to Shang Rong's resignation, King Su nodded silently and said, "Prime Minister, you have worked hard for my dynasty all your life. So the lonely king is finally asking you, after you leave, which minister in the court can sit in the position of the prime minister? ”

The position of prime minister is the head of the officials, and it has always been appointed by the emperor himself.

This time, the king opened his mouth to ask Shang Rong, and the meaning of grace was not disguised, which made the old ministers laugh.

"The king, the position of prime minister, Abi can sit." Shang Rong fell to the ground, directly named Bigan, and took over his position by Bigan.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, when they heard that Bigan would replace the prime minister, they all nodded with a smile.

Among them, even Fei Zhong and You Hun echoed in unison, which surprised Shang Rong's heart.

"This Fei Zhong was treacherous in the past, but he didn't expect that in the face of this major right and wrong, he would have such a position! It seems that I also underestimate this person, this is also a material that can be made! ”

Shang Rong secretly gave Fei Zhong a thumbs up, not knowing at all that in this plan, Fei Zhong's purpose was not the prime minister at all, but the position of the sub-prime minister.

Prime Minister, Asian Minister.

The first among the civil officials, and the second in command.

Although Fei Zhong was greedy in his heart, he didn't think that he could compete with each other, so he didn't mind selling his favor at all.

"It's good."

The king looked around, and was very satisfied with this proposal, and said: "The position of prime minister will be taken over by Bigan, and the position of the prime minister will be the prime minister!" ”

"King, we will wait for the Baoju Doctor Fei Zhong to take over the position of Yaxiang."

Seeing that the king hesitated in the position of Yaxiang, many ministers in the court suddenly echoed and promoted Fei Zhong to take over the position of Yaxiang.

Fei Zhong in the crowd looked at his nose and nose and mouth, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

King Xu's eyes swept over Fei Zhong, and when he saw that Fei Zhong could be so honorable and disgraced, he couldn't help laughing: "Fei Aiqing is also a hard worker, and Fei Zhong will take over the position of the second minister." ”

"Minister Fei Zhong, Xie Wang Longen!" Fei Zhong took two steps forward and fell to the ground, his eyes flashing with three points of joy.

Shang Rong on the side, when she saw that Yaxiang was taken over by Fei Zhong, she subconsciously wanted to speak out against it.

But when he turned his head and thought that Bigan took over as prime minister, Fei Zhong also raised his hands in favor, and he was very decisive in terms of right and wrong, and he couldn't help but hesitate at the moment.

The king's eyes were scanning the reactions of the ministers, and when he saw Shang Rong hesitating, he smiled and said, "Old Prime Minister, the widow sees that your complexion has changed. Don't you think that Fei Zhong's talent is enough to take over Yaxiang's position? ”

"This"

Shang Rong was speechless for a while, if this is greedy for money and power, Fei Zhong is of course the best candidate.

But in this sub-prime position, Shang Rong really didn't think that Fei Zhong could do a good job. However, now that the ministers have responded, Shang Rong thought that she was about to leave, and it was not easy to oppose it directly.

"The king is wise, Fei Zhong took over from Yaxiang, and the old minister has no complaints." Shang Rong bowed down to reply, and while the king laughed loudly, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Fei Zhong, as the favorite of the King of Xu, is no less popular than Shang Rong in terms of popularity.

At this moment, when he heard Shang Rong say that Fei Zhong was good, King Xuan suddenly felt that he knew people skillfully, and where did he pay attention to the hesitation in Shang Rong's eyes.

"It's so decided, Cheng is better than dry, and Yaxiang Fei Zhong. Today, we will not get drunk and go home, and see off the old prime minister and the ministers. ”

The king ordered people to play songs and dances, and put on a banquet of wine and meat to reward the ministers.

After three rounds of drinking, Fei Zhong's eyes showed a cold look, and he secretly thought: "Old thing, it almost ruined me!" Hehe, wait, the prime minister's position will be mine soon."
