Cheng Wenxi only stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while before leaving, and in the middle, he and Cheng Yiwan didn't say a word alone.

When he finally left, it was Cui Guo who sent him, and when he saw Cui Guo about to turn around, he hurriedly grabbed Cui Guo and asked, "...... she is late?"

"Mrs. knocked her head a few days ago, so she lost her memory and couldn't remember many things, and the adults said that if Cheng Gong has nothing to do in the future, he won't come to Mrs. again."

Cui Guo relayed Pei Shangyu's words to him and turned to leave, naturally not hearing the second half of Cheng Wenxi's worried words: "But Ah Wan hurt his brain once when he was a child. ”

His words eventually faded with the closed door.

Cheng Wenxi is seconded to be promoted this time, if he does well in the ministry, then he can stay in the capital for a long time, and if he doesn't do well, he will naturally return to his hometown.

He was worried about the people at home, but he was afraid that what happened last time would happen again, so he had no intention of staying in the capital.

I just want this time to be in order, not to be reactive, but to be without fault.

On the way back from the Ministry of Officials that day, Cheng Wenxi was stopped by Xu Liuchuan in the middle of the road, and the young man smiled at him: "Uncle Cheng." ”

The relationship between the Cheng family and the Xu family was good before the Xu family moved to Guanzhou, Xu Liuchuan called him uncle since he was a child, and Cheng Wenxi gestured to him: "It's Liuchuan." ”

At the beginning, his preferred son-in-law was Xu Liuchuan, but he said that he couldn't start a family before he started a business, and he wanted to give Ah Wan a good life, so he promised to return to his hometown to marry her after he reached high school.

It's a pity that providence makes people, the world is unpredictable, and before he could go to Beijing to catch the exam, he met Pei Shangyu first.

"Uncle Cheng, it's rare for you to enter Beijing, why don't you go to Shiwei Zhai today."

After Xu Liuchuan finished speaking, he silently said Cheng Yiwan's name, Cheng Wenxi understood, he nodded and smiled: "It made you break the bank." ”

"What's the matter, you are an elder, I am a junior, and besides, our two families are friendly, this is what I should do."

After telling Cheng Wenxi the location of the restaurant, Xu Liuchuan left here, he knew that he had Pei Shangyu's people watching him all the time, so he would never expose anything.

As for inviting Cheng Wenxi to dinner, the Cheng family and the Xu family are indeed very good, and when the elders come to their place, please have a meal, it's not too much.

At this time, in the ideological and political hall of the palace, Pei Shangyu looked at Xiao Heting's review, he had grown a lot compared to the previous few months, but it was far from enough to want to be pro-government.

Xiao Heting held the Zhu pen in his hand and looked at it seriously, Cui Guo walked in and leaned over and said something in Pei Shangyu's ear, only to see Pei Shangyu raise his hand and ask him to step back.

"What's going on in my husband's house?"

After all, in the past, he had never seen Cui enter the palace in such a hurry.

"It's okay, Your Majesty can carefully review your recitals."

Pei Shangyu didn't care, he knew Xu Liuchuan's thoughts better than anyone else, but he was good at hiding and was also cautious in his position, so for the time being, he didn't want to move his thoughts.

But one day with him Pei Shangyu, he could only work in that position until death, and never wanted to come into contact with the core secrets of the Southern Dynasty.

Xiao Heting nodded: "Sometimes I am a little curious, Mr. is so talented, how can he be just a clerk when my father is alive?" ”

He seemed to be chatting casually, but with a little temptation, he raised his eyes and looked at Pei Shangyu.

The man in front of him had a stunning appearance, leaning on top of the table, and hearing Xiao Heting's question, Pei Shangyu raised his head and said slowly: "Your Majesty really wants to know?" ”

A slight smile appeared on the face that was so beautiful that it was indistinguishable between male and female, and there was a bit of warning in the dark gaze.

Xiao Heting coughed lightly: "If Mr. doesn't want to say, I don't ask." ”

"Because the first emperor said that the true appearance, the wolf's ambition, his heart can be punished, and when he is alive for a day, the true appearance can only be a dog kneeling in front of him."

Pei Shangyu opened his lips and said this sentence word by word, looking at his gaze with a little shock, these words, if they were put on those scholars, I was afraid that they would have hit the pillar and die Mingzhi.

However, there was a light cloud on his face, Xiao Heting didn't dare to ask, if he really had wolf ambitions, he was afraid that the Southern Dynasty at this time was already surnamed Pei instead of Xiao.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the prime minister is your husband, how can he overthrow your country?"

Pei Shangyu hooked his lips and smiled lightly, which made Xiao Heting can't help but think of the year he first ascended the throne.

...

When he ascended the throne, he was still young, and his temperament was even more timid and fearful, and the prime minister at that time was not Pei Shangyu, but another old minister.

After Pei Shangyu and the queen mother reached a deal, the first time he came to the early dynasty, the old prime minister ridiculed him, "Confusing people with sex and having no real talent." ’

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard the words of the old prime minister, and Xiao Heting at that time was simply afraid of death, for fear that the two of them would be able to fight above the court, but he didn't expect Pei Shangyu to chuckle back to him: "Thank you for the old prime minister's praise." ”

In the face of other people's humiliation, he seems to not mind at all, how strong his tolerance must be to endure it.

Later, Pei Shangyu stood firm in the court, relying on his own talents, climbing up step by step, and it didn't take long to squeeze the old prime minister down.

The angry old minister knocked down his official hat in public, pointed at his nose and scolded: "Pei Shangyu, you wolf ambition!" With you in the Southern Dynasty, how can I go to see the first emperor with peace of mind! Your Majesty! If you want him to be the prime minister. ”

"Then, that Weichen will die headlong in this Taihe Palace!"

He forced Xiao Heting, who was on the seat, knowing that the emperor was young and it was best to threaten, but he saw Pei Shangyu raise his hand to straighten his hat, raised his hand and said: "Since the old prime minister said so, then I naturally want to fulfill you." ”

"Come on, send the old man to collide with Zhu Mingxin, just in this Taihe Palace."

The guards outside the hall broke in, and without saying anything, they lifted the old prime minister and slammed it towards the pillar, and the man took out a clean handkerchief to cover his lips and said: "I'm a person who is naturally rebellious, and I hate being threatened the most. ”

The blood stains that spilled out stayed on that pillar for a long time, just to warn the courtiers, whoever dares to go against Pei Shangyu, then try whether his head is hard or not.

Since then, he has risen step by step above the court, and no one can stop him.

Everyone in the world says that Pei Xiang is a traitor and a person who wants to destroy the Southern Dynasty, but he has assisted Xiao Heting for so many years, if he really has this thought, he can't sit here at this time.

Xiao Heting really can't understand, what Pei Shangyu wants, is it the Southern Dynasty, or something else?

"The gentleman laughed."

He smiled, and removed the topic from the past, he wanted to grow as soon as possible, so that he could have the capital to resist Pei Shangyu.

Power is strongest only when it is in one's own hands.
