Chapter 168: Rumors are disturbing
"Your Excellency...... Master Li, maybe it's because of something, so I'm a little late......"
The housekeeper's legs trembled more and more, and Zhang Zhenglu's eyes became more and more dissatisfied when he looked at the other party.
It's been so many years since I entered the house, and I'm still doing so badly in this little thing.
It's just that Li Ning came to discuss with him about the affairs of the court, but no one came.
I don't know if it's because the housekeepers didn't do it well, so Zhang Zhenglu faced the housekeeper's expression, and he became more and more gloomy.
"Are you sure you went and informed Lord Li, did Master Li say that he would come tonight?"
"How dare a slave deceive an adult? I really asked for it, and the adults said they would come tonight......"
The housekeeper's legs trembled like sifting chaff, and Zhang Zhenglu lost his patience.
"Take the housekeeper down, and when he has his leg raised, let him take care of the housekeeper's affairs."
Zhang Zhenglu gave the order, and at this time, Li Ning's voice sounded at the door.
I saw Li Ning stumbling in, and knelt directly in front of Zhang Zhenglu to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
"Master Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm really late for something, and I didn't mean to be late."
Li Ning lifted his robe and sat back quietly, widening the distance between him and the other party.
"Presumably, Lord Li must have been around recently, and many people want to make friends with Lord Li, so Master Li has no time to go to the cheap land."
Li Ning didn't plan to get up, but explained very patiently.
"My lord, there have been more and more voices talking to you in the court recently, but until now, the little emperor has not paid attention to it, I have indeed been a little busy during this time, but it is all just to find out the news, I have absolutely no second heart for you."
Seeing that the other party was kneeling where he had poured the hot tea just now, Zhang Zhenglu was finally willing to let Li Ning get up.
"Let's get up first! During this time, there were some rumors about me in the court, and I had heard of them, but I didn't expect that those uninformed Shengdou people on the street would dare to be so disrespectful to me. ”
"Yes yes ......"
Li Ning lowered his head while wiping the sweat on his head.
"I told you to get up and say, and you are still kneeling on the ground, as if I have treated you very kindly."
After being reminded by the other party one after another, Li Ning stood up tremblingly.
"In fact, the rumors during this period of time are nothing more than because Liu Jun recommended a few people to the little emperor, but those people were sent by you to other irrelevant places, so there are some ordinary people who can't understand the overall situation...... Said something that didn't sound good. ”
This matter was indeed done by himself, and Zhang Zhenglu had nothing to deny, so he snorted softly.
"Those people don't deserve to be in that kind of position, Liu Jun actually exalted them so much, and gave them high-ranking officials one by one! I was able to get to this position today, all by myself, Liu Jun just relied on a few words, I thought that someone could take away my rights, how could I make Liu Jun satisfied? ”
Li Ning understands very well in his heart.
"Yes, yes, you're right...... It's just that I understand your thoughts, but those people outside don't understand, and they speak very ugly, all kinds of things. ”
"These gossips never stopped, when did I get scared of them?"
Zhang Zhenglu hasn't taken these things to heart yet, and Li Ning can understand the blandness in his words.
After all, he has been in that position for so many years, although there are still a lot of rumors, but neither the little emperor nor the first emperor has any way to deal with him, not to mention that he is still backed by the big tree of the empress dowager.
Even if he really wants to move, Zhang Zhenglu has to weigh whether he can afford the consequences of Zhang Zhenglu.
Zhang Zhenglu and the imperial court have not torn their faces now, and they still maintain a certain balance, once they tear their faces......
I can't even think about it.
At that time, he must have followed Zhang Zhenglu to stand on the opposite side of the imperial court.
Li Ning lowered his head, thinking in his heart that he had to plan for himself.
"Your Excellency is telling the truth, but those ordinary people don't understand it at all, and they don't understand the decisions you made for the sake of the great Qian."
"Don't pay attention to all the crazy talk, you will visit every house after the morning morning tomorrow, and if every family has an opinion about me, you can come back and tell me, and I will see what they are dissatisfied with me."
"Yes......"
The next day, Li Ning had just gotten off the morning court, and he planned to go to the house of Lord Hubu to chat with the other party first.
But as if they hadn't seen Li Ning, the adults in the household department went around directly and walked to Gu Qingshan's side.
"Master Gu, according to your instructions, I have already sent a reply to the Liao Kingdom."
Gu Qingshan nodded after hearing this.
"This is not according to my orders, this is the emperor's intention, our emperor is wise and wise, these things are all decisions made by him under his consideration, and I am just obeying the will of heaven."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The people next to him also nodded again and again, and they didn't have any intention to refute what Gu Qingshan said.
Li Ning walked over to see the other party's appearance, put his hands behind his back, and said loudly.
"Master Sun has become a busy person these days, busy coming and going, I want to say a few words to you, can't you even speak?"
The adult of the household department was slightly embarrassed, glanced at Gu Qingshan's expression, and stood aside for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Li Daren, I really didn't see you just now, I've been a little busy with official business recently, but I don't dare not care, Lord Li, if Lord Li doesn't have anything else, then I'll finish it first, Lord Gu gave me instructions, and the next official said goodbye."
Sun Liping, who said this, left immediately, Li Ning watched the other party walk away, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and Gu Qingshan next to him circled around Li Ning.
"Lord Li, don't be too angry, since the news of King Wu's death came, the entire court has been very busy, naturally there are some people who don't have time to care about those false courtesies, don't take it to heart."
"If the caregiver says so, is it okay for anyone to ignore the rules of etiquette under the pretext of being busy? I don't know if Lord Gu will use the reason of being busy to be rude in front of the emperor? ”
knew that Li Ning would definitely fight with him, but Gu Qingshan has always loved to read when he was fine, how could Li Ning, a reckless man, get benefits under his mouth?
