Chapter 184 Win People's Hearts
"Steward He, we are all members of the Eighth Master's Sect, and such a big thing happened, so let's meet the Eighth Master, and we can rest assured."
In the face of the housekeeper's repeated explanations, everyone was still worried.
The old man appeared in front of the cold-faced king to complain, and everyone was stunned.
It also made everyone worried, for fear that things would get bigger, and the black gauze hat on the top of their heads would not be guaranteed.
The housekeeper was embarrassed at first sight, "Didn't you hear what I just said?" ”
"The top priority, is the position of the crown prince, is your business important, or is this matter important?"
"If you want me to say, you are wasting time here, you might as well do your own thing, and don't make trouble for the eighth master at this juncture!"
At that moment, the housekeeper ruthlessly ordered everyone to evict customers.
Invite them out of the palace.
Meanwhile.
The eighth master sat on a chair, holding a brush in his hand, staring at the half-painted landscape painting on the table, and fell into deep thought.
"Starling, you're so lively."
"What, you really don't want to care about these things? The fourth old boy is a restless master, once he pokes the matter to Huang Ama, and adds oil and vinegar, Tianyuan Mansion will not be able to keep it! ”
The ninth and tenth masters arrived.
As soon as he entered the door, he sneered, thinking that the eighth master was afraid of the fourth master, and he didn't dare to fight the fourth master.
Suddenly.
The eighth master got up suddenly and walked outside.
Seeing this, the two hurriedly chased them out.
"Starling, what are you doing, the gods are chattering."
"Is Tong Zhongtang here?"
The eighth master ignored him directly, and asked the housekeeper who rushed back with a cold face.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded, "If you go back to your master, Tong Zhongtang didn't come, they are all some ministers of the six departments, and now the servants have invited them back, so as not to disturb the master." ”
"What's the matter, starling, Tong Guowei hasn't played yet?"
"It's been so long, he hasn't played yet, what are you waiting for, does he want to recommend the fourth child?"
"That's not accurate, Tong Guowei is scheming, he has been in the study all these years, he is in charge of the overall situation, and there are many of his protégés in the court, he doesn't speak, and his protégés must be waiting."
The two of you say a word, as if they are singing a double reed.
The eighth master sat on the stone bench in the courtyard dullly, with a lot of worries.
For the sake of the crown prince, he was so anxious for the past two days that he did not hesitate to go to Bai Luomei's place and find a way to persuade Bai Luomei to persuade the fourth master to give up the competition.
But now, he still feels that it is not enough.
He needs more support to keep him on his feet in the court.
Suddenly.
The next person will report it.
Tong Guowei entered the house through the back door.
The eighth master did not think twice, and immediately ordered someone to invite Tong Guowei to the study.
"You two take shelter for now."
The eighth master straightened his clothes, his tone became cold, his breath was calm, and he looked like he was facing a great enemy.
Hearing this, the ninth and tenth masters didn't say a word, and immediately retreated to the side room.
After a while, Tong Guowei entered in a blue robe and horse coat, and when he saw the eighth master, he smiled and bowed his hands.
"Tong Zhongtang doesn't need to be polite, there is no need to be restrained in my house, besides, you are an elder, I am a junior, how can I accept your courtesy."
The eighth master gave up his seat and was polite to him.
Seeing this, Tong Guowei smiled happily and praised the eighth master, and then got to the point.
"What does the eighth master think of the emperor's order for hundreds of civil and military officials to promote the crown prince?" Tong Guowei smiled, took a sip of tea, rolled up his horseshoe sleeves, and looked at him with a light in his eyes.
The eighth master sighed for a long time, and shook his head helplessly, "There are many princes of Huang Amma, and none of my brothers are worry-free, and they all want to be emperors." ”
"The eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, as well as the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers, they all have the opportunity to inherit the unification, but I, although the emperor Ama has given me a lot of errands over the years, I also follow the will of the emperor Ama to do things properly, but the emperor Ama is lukewarm to me."
"I am the most unlikely to inherit the unification, and I have no say in this matter, so it is better to let it be, and everything is up to Huang Ama alone."
said something, but it made Tong Guowei smile.
The meaningful laughter made the eighth master rekindle his hope and think a little in his heart.
Tong Guowei said with a smile, "The eighth master thinks too much, if you don't become the prince, who can take on this heavy responsibility?" ”
"Where do you start?"
The eighth master's heart was full of joy, his heart trembled for a while, and he tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, but he was still happy.
Tong Guowei glanced at the housekeeper outside the door.
After noticing that his eyes were wrong, the eighth master immediately ordered his subordinates to retreat.
In the study, only the two of them remained.
Tong Guowei smiled, "Today, the emperor talked to the slaves, and said that the abolished prince Yinren is ruthless and unrighteous, lawless, and unforgiving, although all the princes are good, but the emperor wants to be a subject of the world, and he originally thought that the prince who has both virtue and virtue will inherit the unification in the future." ”
"Among all the princes, you are the only one who can be called both virtuous and virtuous! This is also recognized by the subjects of the world! ”
As soon as he heard this, the eighth master was secretly happy in his heart.
This is an affirmation from the Consul General of the Upper Study!
And he waited for Tong Guowei for two whole days, and now he can be regarded as waiting for him.
It's just that what the eighth master didn't expect was that Tong Guowei affirmed him so much.
The eighth master waved his hand and said modestly, "Don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, I'm not perfect, and I still need more advice from Tong Zhongtang in the future." ”
"The eighth master is modest, who doesn't know that the eighth master is a virtuous king, and who doesn't want the eighth master to be able to become a great treasure?" Tong Guowei smiled and complimented, took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to him.
"Eighth master, this is a recital prepared by the minions, recommending you as the crown prince, and the minions are ready to let Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu and other ministers in the study jointly play."
As soon as the words fell, the eighth master subconsciously pushed the song back.
"Huang Ama has a will, the prince is not allowed to communicate with the minister in private, Tong Zhongtang wants to invite all the ministers to play together, this is Tong Zhongtang's business, I dare not ask, let alone watch the performance privately."
His modesty was once again highly praised by Tong Guowei.
In front of people, the eighth master always maintains the appearance of a virtuous king.
Every word and deed, every move, is in line with etiquette.
Tong Guowei smiled and put the fold back in his sleeve, "Don't worry, this time it's stable." ”
With his words, the big stone hanging on the eighth master's heart finally fell to the ground, and the sadness on his face disappeared at once.
"Thank you Tong Zhongtang for your success!"
The eighth master got up and solemnly saluted him.
Tong Guowei returned the salute with a smile, "The eighth master will become a great treasure in the future, but don't forget that I am waiting for the ministers of the dragon." ”
"Tong Zhongtang rest assured, this king will never forget!"
"If this king sits in the country, Tong Zhongtang will be the prime minister for a hundred years, this will be unswerving, and the sun and the moon can be learned!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, reaching a consensus.
After sending Tong Guowei away, the eighth master breathed a sigh of relief.
The ninth and tenth masters walked out of the side room, and when they saw him with a spring breeze on their faces, they couldn't help but congratulate him.
The eighth master smiled, "If it can be done this time, the two younger brothers will be the king of iron hats!" ”
