Looking at Lord Wang, Xiao Shunzi looked around again, and then said softly: "The emperor said that one day he would clean up those disobedient ministers, saying that the time is not ripe now, and the power is not concentrated in his hands, and when everything is in his hands, the new and old accounts will be counted together." ”

Hearing this, Lord Wang's face became serious, he also had a great influence in the imperial court, and when Nan Shanyuan came back before, for the sake of interests, although he did not have close contacts with Nan Shanyuan, he did not draw a clear line.

Because it was difficult to determine who would win or lose in the battle between Nan Jinyan and Nan Shanyuan, many people were waiting and watching. On the surface, it seems that no one can be offended, but in fact, Nan Jinyan holds a grudge.

Lord Wang looked at Xiao Shunzi and asked, "Who was next to the emperor when he said these words?" ”

"Only Grandpa Liu."

"What did Gonggong Liu say?"

"Gonggong Liu persuaded the emperor not to say more such things, so as not to be heard and cause panic, after all, it is not yet time to settle accounts after the autumn."

Lord Wang snorted coldly, "This eunuch is quite wise. You should do something that didn't happen, go back and serve the emperor well! Don't worry, these words will only be remembered by the official and will never be spoken. Of course, even if anyone asks about it, even if something does happen, no one will be involved in you. ”

"Slaves understand, slaves understand!" Xiao Shunzi was relieved to hear such words.

Lord Wang looked at Xiao Shunzi, and was also glad that he had such a chess piece, and he might give him a lot of help at a critical time.

He continued: "You serve the emperor well, don't make any mistakes, and don't come to the official without special things." You don't have to worry about things at home, the official will settle it for you. As long as the official is healthy, your family will be fine. ”

"Slave Xie for your care!"

"Go ahead! You and I are not outsiders, you are welcome, what to say and what to do, we know in our hearts. ”

After Xiao Shunzi left, Wang Da went back in a huff, and that night, he summoned a few henchmen to come to his house to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings.

As soon as Master Xu of the Ministry of Industry entered the door, he asked, "Lord Wang, what treasure did you get, hurry up and take it out for the lower officials to feast their eyes on." ”

Lord Wang's expression was serious, and he motioned for his subordinates to serve tea to Lord Xu.

"Lord Xu, don't be impatient, wait for a few other adults!"

"Oh, there are other adults!"

"Yes."

At this time, Liu Shangshu also came, and Lord Xu felt a little strange, "Liu Shangshu, when did you become interested in calligraphy and painting?" How could Xia Guan not know. ”

But just after saying it, he felt that his question was a little redundant, and another adult also came, and he was also not interested in calligraphy and painting, he was a military general.

When all five of them arrived, Lord Wang stood up, "Ladies and gentlemen, then I'll wait in the study!" ”

"Okay!"

"Okay."

At this time, Lord Xu will not ask questions like when he first came, and from the faces of each adult, he also understands that things are not as simple as appreciating calligraphy and painting. He was also a wise man, and he was able to understand some things.

After coming to the study, Lord Wang said to everyone: "Everyone, today the official got the news, saying that Long Yan was angry, and he was resentful of the ministers who were close to the prince before, or who made the emperor dissatisfied, and said that he would definitely find an opportunity to settle accounts after the autumn. ”

Everyone knows that Lord Wang will not summon them for no reason, and he still uses the excuse of appreciating calligraphy and painting, so such an operation must have something to discuss. But they didn't expect this to be the case.

Liu Shangshu was stunned for a moment, "The emperor actually said such a thing?" Could it be that Shousuke-sama meant? ”

Compared with Xiao Qian, the emperor is more afraid of Xiao Qian, and the little emperor still does not have such a great deterrent power for them. A teenager is nothing in front of these scheming ministers.

"No, it's not the dialogue between the emperor and Lord Shoufu, it's the emperor who said it in front of Gonggong Liu." Lord Wang hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Lord Xu disagreed and laughed, "It turned out that the emperor was complaining to Liu Quan, what's the big deal." Liu Quan would only wag his tail in front of the emperor and couldn't make big waves. In front of Liu Quan, the emperor said everything without concealment, which is also normal, as long as Xiao Qian does not go along with him, who can help you and me. ”

Lord Wang snorted coldly, "Lord Xu, you are too optimistic!" ”

Liu Shangshu also stroked his beard and said: "Yes, we can't take it lightly, since the emperor said such a thing, he must have a deep grudge in his heart and have a big opinion on us." ”

Lord Wang nodded, "When the second prince came back, we were already very careful, neither offended the second prince, nor did we fall into any position with the emperor." But some of our whereabouts must have been watched by the emperor. Just because he tore up with us because the situation was not good doesn't mean he doesn't have ideas. ”

"Yes, although the emperor is not very old, he is thoughtful, and he is not such a broad-minded person, which he saw when he was a child. He has opinions about us, and he doesn't say anything about it on the surface, but he always remembers it in his heart. But in the current situation, he shouldn't dare to do anything! ”

"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and you know that. The emperor didn't want to be restrained, so he didn't listen to the advice of Lord Shoufu in the construction of the palace this time. This is a manifestation of the oath of sovereignty, and Shousuke-sama's regression may have made him think that he was already powerful. ”

Lord Xu was also very angry, "The emperor also underestimates us too much!" Although he is the emperor, he can't kill all these ministers! ”

Lord Wang glared at her, "Lord Xu, you are too impatient!" Today, the official asked everyone to come over, not that the emperor was going to start, but now he didn't dare to give the emperor ten dares. Even if he wanted to do it, it was impossible for Liu Quan and Lord Shoufu to let him do anything. ”

"So what do you mean?"

"What this official means is that we must take precautions, and since the emperor has such a mind, then he will no longer trust us. The politeness is also a superficial phenomenon now, so it is better for everyone to be careful. ”

Liu Shangshu nodded, "Yes, we have to think about this issue, and we have to make some plans for our family." Either change the emperor's opinion, or find a new way out. ”

It's very simple, but it's easier said than done! Several people became serious, each of them was a high-ranking and powerful person, and their families were rich, if they really went against the emperor, their losses would be immeasurable.

People like them value their lives very seriously, and they can do whatever it takes for their own interests.
