The prime minister was humble on his face, and bowed to Qiao Nian, "Welcome the general back to Beijing." ”

Qiao Nian took a step ahead, strode over, and forcefully caught the hand of the prime minister before he had time to bow, and smiled inexplicably, "Why does the prime minister bother to do this set of false courtesy, it seems that the younger generation is not the same." ”

More than a dozen people next to him suddenly said, yes, dignified prime minister, if you salute a junior, even if that person is a general now, he can't afford it, if he goes down to let people know, it seems that the general is wrong.

Alas, the prime minister is still too vain.

The prime minister's smile was maintained very well, and he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, "It is a great joy for the general to return to Beijing, I have a high heart in my heart, and I have ordered someone to be ready, and the general must go back in style." ”

After speaking, the prime minister quickly raised his hand, as if he was afraid that someone would stop him, and shouted directly: "Play music!" ”

Qiao Nian's gaze was meaningless, his hands were leisurely hugging his chest and there was no movement, this time, the prime minister's heart was bumpy.

But it was too late.

Suddenly, the brass drums around the city gate were noisy, the sound of trumpets pierced the night, and the drummers were full of energy, and the drums seemed to bounce on the door of people's heads.

One after another, some people complained about lighting the lights and opening the windows, and looked out angrily.

The prime minister was originally waiting for this moment, and someone opened the window to recognize this general who did not obey the emperor's orders and returned to Beijing late at night without fanfare, and let people participate in him tomorrow, which not only ruined his image in front of the emperor, but also made the people complain about him.

However, Qiao Nian's face was not panicked, and he was leisurely, "Prime Minister, I came back early on the emperor's private word, and late at night it was also to avoid attracting attention, so the prime minister should not ruin the emperor's plan." ”

"General Qiao was really ordered to return to Beijing? Why don't you stop the old man? There were already house lights on, and the prime minister stared at him with old eyes.

Qiao Nian lowered his face, "I can still deceive the prime minister, the emperor is afraid that he has been waiting for me for a long time, but he let the prime minister see me first, and the prime minister is majestic." ”

Some people have already opened the windows and cursed, and some people are angrily asking what they are doing, and they want to report to the imperial history.

The lights shone in a trance, but the prime minister couldn't say the original words, suppressed the anger in his heart, and had to admit that now Qiao Nian already has the ability to play against him.

The prime minister stopped the music and wanted to raise his voice to speak, but was blocked by Qiao Nian's words.

"It's best for the prime minister not to use the excuse of rehearsing for the sergeant to return to the court, this matter is not the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites." Qiao Nian's face was cold, and he reminded the prime minister word by word that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who stood on his side not long ago was dismissed by the emperor.

And the matter of the ritual music of the soldiers at the triumph has nothing to do with him, he cares, if it disturbs the people, it is not his.

Qiao Nian turned indifferently to his corner and continued to squat, completely unnoticed.

The prime minister gritted his teeth, "I'm sorry everyone, this is the prime minister's mansion prepared by itself to add color to the sergeants who will return to the court tomorrow, the housekeeper in the mansion is dizzy and said the wrong time, and the old man came quickly and still couldn't stop it, and it disturbed you at night." ”

The old prime minister coughed a few times, his tired color was revealed, and the noise gradually became smaller, after all, the prime minister came to apologize in person at such a large age, besides, this is the housekeeper's fault, what does it have to do with the prime minister.

There are also people muttering that it is really fake to say that the time is so late.

No one answered this question, and no one dared to ask it, so the voice became quieter.

The surroundings were quiet, and the people who slept in a daze were the first to close the windows, and some people set an example, and others also closed the windows.

After the sound of broken quilts rubbing against clothes, there was silence again in front of the city gates.

The prime minister didn't smile and didn't look at Qiao Nian, "It just so happens that I have something to report to the emperor, so it's better to be with General Qiao." ”

The general pouted, if the emperor was not prepared when he went, he would report that he had falsely passed on the holy decree and plotted against him.

Qiao Nian got into the carriage and entered the palace all the way unimpeded, and the prime minister's face became more and more gloomy.

The young man spent his time admiring the crampedness and anxiety of others, and was curious, the prime minister was indeed strange, obviously desperately controlling the government and doing things that did not return power to the master, but he desperately wanted to be approved by the emperor.

In the army, people like the prime minister are the kind of people that Qiao Nian hates the most.

greedy for military merits, good face but no ability, do not teach the skills of the people below, for fear that others will take away his glory, and the final outcome is often to cause the entire army to bury his greed.

The two of them walked to the emperor's sleeping palace under the leadership of the palace people, where the lights were bright, and the shadows of the two people were faintly seen.

The two were called in.

When you enter the door, there is a soft lying room, on which there is a low table, and a man in a white robe plays a game of chess.

As soon as the man raised his eyes, the golden dragon on his clothes seemed to come to life, roaring with his teeth and claws, and the huge sense of oppression made people breathe.

"Prime Minister," the man said in a light tone, "bring your people back." ”

The prime minister looked nervously and found the Ministry of Rites that had been neglected.

His people? How could it be his people? The entire court is the emperor, but it is just that he agrees with him, and the emperor has already doubted his intentions.

The prime minister was obscure in his heart and wanted to open his mouth to defend himself.

"Prime Minister, I don't want to hear it." The man dropped his pawn and stared at him, "Take him out." ”
