Out of the court, Situ Jin rode straight to the Ossini mansion in the carriage sent to him by Ferdinand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because Situ Jin had already sent people to the Orsini Mansion in advance, when he arrived in front of the Orsini Mansion, there were already people standing there waiting.

Situ Jin jumped out of the carriage and saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man coming up to him, with a just right smile on the man's face: "In Lower Rodrigo, meet the Grand Duke of Sakura!" I just learned the news that the Grand Duke of Sakura is coming, and my father immediately asked me to come out to greet him.

Although Situ Jin was only made a duke this morning, the officialdom was originally the place where the news spread the fastest, but any little wind and grass could not hide it from the eyes of people with a heart, not to mention such a major event as a hereditary duke in the empire? Therefore, Situ Jin was not surprised that Rodrigo called him the Grand Duke! If Ossini didn't even have this source, then he wouldn't be worthy of letting Situ Jin come to him in person!

Situ Jin raised his hand to help Rodrigo, who was about to salute him, and said in a modest tone: "Mr. Rodrigo, there is no need to be polite! Today I have been entrusted by His Majesty to visit your father, I wonder how the old gentleman is in good health now?"

After being supported by Situ Jin, Rodrigo stood up, and then said to Situ Jin: "Thanks to Your Majesty and the Grand Duke's Hongfu, my father is in good health now!"

After speaking, Rodrigo owed himself and said, "Grand Duke Situ, my father is already waiting for you in the mansion, please come with me!"

"Good!"

Situ Jin followed Rodrigo directly into the mansion behind him, and after passing through the front porch, he saw a gray-haired, tall old man sitting on a sandalwood rocking chair under the big tree in the courtyard.

After seeing Situ Jin, the old man's half-squinted eyes suddenly opened, and then he was about to get up from the rocking chair: "Duke Sakura is here! The old man's legs and feet are not very good, so he didn't go out of the house to greet him, I hope the Duke won't be surprised!"

As soon as he saw the white-haired old man, Situ Jin had already guessed that the other party was Osini, he walked quickly to Osini's rocking chair, pressed Ossini lightly on the rocking chair, and said: "The old gentleman is a third-generation old minister of the empire, how dare I let you go out of the mansion to greet me in person, this is really tormenting me!"

Ossini didn't insist on getting up from the chair, he raised his eyes to look at Situ Jin, and suddenly sighed with a smile: "Originally, I didn't accept old age, but today I saw Duke Sakura so young and talented, I believe that I am really old!"

"Where is the old gentleman?" Situ said carefully: "I'm just a junior, I can't compare with you!"

Ossini laughed, invited Situ Jin to sit on a chair that had been prepared beside him, and then said to his son Rodrigo: "Rodrigo, you go down first!"

Rodrigo, who had been standing aside, immediately bowed down, then turned around and walked into a side yard next to him.

As soon as Rodrigo left, Ossini looked at Situ Jin and said, "Grand Duke Sakura, you have just been awarded a knighthood and official position, and you should be busy celebrating in your own mansion, why do you still want to come to see me, an old fellow?"

Situ Jin smiled and said: "Old man, I have always disliked beating around the bush, since you have taken the initiative to ask, then I will tell you directly! I am here today to greet you on behalf of Your Majesty, and second, I hope you can go out of the mountain to govern!"

"En?" Onisi looked at Situ Jin: "Lordship, Grand Duke Sakura, as far as I know, you have now been appointed as the chief political officer of the empire, isn't it your job to be in charge?"

"Hey, old gentleman, let me tell you the truth!" Situ Jin said directly: "I know very well that although His Majesty appointed me as the chief political officer of the empire, this is just a temporary appointment in an extraordinary period! It is no problem for me to hang this official position, but I am really powerless to let me preside over the major policies of the entire empire, and I ask the old gentleman not to shirk and continue to be the chief political officer of the empire!"

As he spoke, Situ Jin stretched out his hand to hold Onisi's hand, and said in a sincere tone: "This is also what Your Majesty meant! Please rest assured, old sir, although we have the same official positions, I will try my best to cooperate with your work in government affairs in the future! And after this special period, I will return to my territory, and then the government affairs of the empire will depend on you, old man!"

After silently listening to Situ Jin's words, Ossini was silent for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Grand Duke Sakura, I'm old, and my legs and feet are not very good now, thank you and Your Majesty for this trust in me, but I'm really powerless now, just let me stay at home and enjoy my old age!?"

Situ Jin knew that Onisi's words just now were completely prevaricating himself, although Onisi was full of gray hair, but his mental state seemed to be quite good, what kind of sick old man with a weak heart?

After pondering for a while, Situ Jin suddenly said, "The old gentleman is unwilling to take power because he is not sure whether His Majesty wants to continue the war?"

Hearing Situ Jin's words, an imperceptible light flashed in Osini's eyes, and he glanced at Situ Jin deeply, but did not speak.

Situ Jin knew that he was talking about Ossini's heart, so he said: "If the old gentleman is worried about this, then please put your heart in your stomach! Although Your Majesty has not yet made a clear statement, I can assure you that if there is any other choice, Your Majesty will never choose to let the empire fall into the quagmire of war and cannot extricate itself!"

As Situ finished speaking, Osini's body that had been leaning back in the chair slowly sat up straight, his eyes narrowed, and he looked like he was deep in thought.

After a while, Ossini raised his head, looked at Situ Jin and asked, "Is this true?"

Situ nodded respectfully: "There is no lie!"

Ossini sat down in his chair again and pondered for a long time, and said, "Okay! As long as Your Majesty wants to fight the war even if he does not want to fight the country, I will breathe a sigh of relief!"

After listening to Ossini's words, Situ Jin's eyes lit up: "So, did the old gentleman agree to take the position of chief administrative officer?"

"Haha......" Ossini laughed loudly, and the whole person looked more energetic: "As long as Your Majesty doesn't dislike my old bones!"

Saying that, Ossini didn't care that Situ Jin was still there, and stood up directly from the chair, his legs and feet looked very good, it looked like he was not good?!

"Someone, change my clothes, I want to go into the palace to meet Your Majesty!" shouted Osini.
