"Governor Xiao stays, the old man wants to invite the Governor to the mansion to taste tea, I don't know if I can appreciate my face?"

As soon as Xiao Chen stepped out of the main hall, Master Cen's figure suddenly flashed in front of him, almost scaring him to kick it.

What is this old man looking for himself? Still drinking tea?

Our relationship is not so good.

After thinking about it, he said with some suspicion: "Lord Cen, is there something wrong with you?" ”

Master Cen smiled and said: "Lord Xiao, I am responsible for the reception of the envoys of the Qi State, I didn't expect such a big incident, if it wasn't for Lord Xiao to relieve the siege, I am afraid that the old man and I will now be going to return to my hometown." ”

"I see."

Xiao Chen suddenly realized, no wonder he is so enthusiastic, this is to thank me.

There wasn't much to do in the afternoon, so he agreed to come down, sat in Master Cen's sedan chair, and walked towards the outside of the palace.

And this scene was also seen by many courtiers.

Zhou Tianfu and the ministers behind him are also among them!

"Zhou Xiang, this eunuch is so favored, and he has repeatedly ruined our good deeds, and now he is walking with the old puppet of Master Cen, I am afraid that it will become a big disaster in the future!"

At this time, a minister said in a low voice.

In this great Chu court, Zhou Tianfu can be said to be in power, once Zhou Tianfu does not agree to the policy, even if it is Chu Yanwu, it will be difficult to implement it!

And their biggest political enemy in the court is the self-proclaimed Master Cen.

In the past, Master Cen was soft-spoken and had no power, but few people took this old puppet in their eyes, but once he and Xiao Chen joined forces, everything would be different in an instant.

"He is now full of holy grace, it is difficult to start, Your Majesty's face, you should always take care of it."

Zhou Tianfu retracted his gaze, shook his head slowly, and said, "Lord Zhao, how is the disaster relief matter arranged?" ”

In the crowd, a man with a big belly and a very rich poop walked out, it was Zhao Qi, the head of the household department of Da Chu.

Hearing Zhou Tianfu's question, Zhao Qi's sesame-sized eyes rolled, "Zhou Xiang rest assured, everything is arranged, with that disaster relief strategy, we need less money and food, we can at least get ...... this time."

The words stopped abruptly, and I saw Zhao Qi shake the five fingers in his hand.

Zhou Tianfu nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, the division of each family is still the same as in previous years, remember, don't make any mistakes in things, otherwise I will ask you!" ”

Zhao Qi immediately nodded, "Go down to the official to do things, Zhou Xiang, you put your heart in your stomach, for so many years, how have you ever been out of the basket?" ”

"Okay, there are still the three cities of Qi Kingdom, we also have to prepare early, and it is best to get our hands on it......"

Zhou Tianfu commanded everyone, and soon walked out of the palace and returned to the mansion, but as soon as he entered the door, a figure hurriedly walked out.

"Daddy! Something happened! ”

Zhou Ji, who is nearly thirty years old, has an extremely solemn face.

Zhou Tianfu nodded, his expression still did not fluctuate, he called the maid unhurriedly, changed his clothes, and then said: "I have taught you since I was a child, don't panic in case of trouble, what does this look like?" ”

Zhou Ji lowered his head a little ashamedly, "Dad taught me a lesson." ”

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

"It's Dongchang!"

"East Factory?"

Hearing these two words, Zhou Tianfu was about to pick up the teacup for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, "Dongchang does have a new overseer, but with Sun Biao in charge over there, and those subordinates are basically our people, what can happen?" ”

"Even if Xiao Chen's methods are tough, it has only been a few days, and it is impossible to control the East Factory, not to mention that he was still composing poems in the court just now."

Hearing this, Zhou Ji's face also showed a look of helplessness, and when he first learned the news, he couldn't believe it, after all, who would have thought ......

With a long sigh, Zhou Ji smiled bitterly: "Dad, that Xiao Chen, he removed the entire Dongchang people from their posts. ”

"Poof!!"

Zhou Tianfu just drank a sip of hot tea, and all of a sudden it was squirted out, and he said in disbelief: "What did you say?" He removed them all? Didn't leave a single one? ”

Zhou Ji was sprayed with tea, but he didn't dare to be dissatisfied at all, so he could only nod and say, "Yes, I didn't leave any of them, I heard that they are recruiting people now...... and Sun Biao, who was also seriously injured by them, is in the backyard right now, you see......"

"Bang!"

Zhou Tianfu slapped on the coffee table, his expression was cold, "I lost Dongchang so easily, what do you keep for such useless things?" Drag it down and feed the dogs! ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Ji lowered his head and hurriedly responded.

Zhou Tianfu sat in his position, his face was cloudy, and his killing intent towards Xiao Chen was getting stronger and stronger, and other things were just fine, but taking away Dongchang was a sharp sword that took away the Zhou family!

This is something he, or the Zhou family, absolutely cannot tolerate!

"Ji'er, what do you think of this Xiao Chen?"

Zhou Tianfu narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Ji was silent for a long time, as if after repeated deliberation in his heart, he spoke: "He is very strange, according to the information investigated by his sister, he seems to have entered the palace very early, but he has always been mediocre and cowardly...... Until more than half a month ago, it suddenly seemed like a different person! ”

"My sister's plans for Concubine Jing and Zhao Jieyu were all sabotaged by him, and the child felt that if this kind of person could not be used for himself, it was best to get rid of it as soon as possible!"

The voice landed.

There was silence in the room.

After a long time, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Tianfu's eyes, and he made up his mind: "Write a letter to Rong'er and find a way to solve Xiao Chen, we will fully cooperate!" ”

Zhou Ji responded and exited the room.

Zhou Tianfu stood up, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of the palace, "Your Majesty, isn't the current situation bad?" Why do you have to force your courtiers? Alas......"

Meanwhile.

It is only a few roads away from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiao Chen was sitting in the pavilion with Master Cen, cooking tea around the stove, and the style was extremely elegant.

At this time, a passage broke the elegant atmosphere.

"Lord Xiao, haven't you thought about it yet? You and the Zhou family are already on the same page, once we cooperate, it will be enough to compete with the Zhou family! There is hope for the week, and the sky is clear! ”

Master Cen looked at Xiao Chen tightly with a serious expression.

However, Xiao Chen made himself a cup of tea, took a sip lightly, and said playfully: "Lord Cen, before outside the palace, you deliberately invited me in front of Zhou Tianfu and them." ”

"This ......"

Master Cen's expression changed.

And this scene was naturally taken into Xiao Chen's eyes, the corners of his mouth raised, put down the teacup in his hand, and walked directly outside, "Lord Cen, please forgive me for the matter of cooperation, Xiao will never treat the person who calculates me as an ally!" ”
