Forbidden City, Linyuan Palace.

In the imperial history, Zhang Nanrong suddenly closed the fold in his hand, and slapped it heavily on the case in front of him, and the movement was so great that it attracted a group of Zhuyi officials in the hall to look at him.

According to the official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the prime minister of the prime minister's government, the imperial historian in charge of the imperial history platform, and the Privy Council Lieutenant are called the "three dukes", and the power and honor are only below the Son of Heaven, even the princes cannot be compared.

In this dynasty, the Son of Heaven was arbitrary, and the positions of the three princes were all vacant, and in addition to military power, the government was planned by the joint counselors of the cabinet. Among them, the leading few are called "participating in political affairs", also known as "ruling power".

The power of the prime minister is shared by several cabinet ministers, and they check and balance each other, which is naturally far from the prime minister who has a monopoly on power, but after all, there is still a little bit of the prime minister, and although there is no prime minister, the government and the opposition still regard him as a "vice minister".

Ao Reckless, who is called the minister of power all over the world, is one of the rulers.

In the imperial history, Cheng was originally the second seat of the imperial history platform, ranking below the imperial historian, but since the absence of the imperial historian was a foregone conclusion, Zhang Nanrong, the actual helmsman of the imperial history platform, was naturally among the ruling people, and even because he entered the cabinet earlier, the seat was still ranked before Ao Mang.

Seeing the rare angry face of this lord in the imperial history, the officials on duty in the palace of various ministries and courts looked at each other and were a little surprised.

After all, the government and the opposition know that although Zhang Nanrong, who was born in Fanyang County, Jizhou, is a northerner, he has always been soft-tempered, humble and self-controlled, and his qi cultivation kung fu is particularly profound.

Today, for some reason, Zhang Nanrong was really angry.

I saw him turn his head, glance at the empty seat beside him, and asked, "What time is this, Ao Zheng hasn't come yet?"

Seeing that Yu Shi Zhongcheng suddenly opened his mouth to ask about the whereabouts of the other ruler, there was a faint anger in his words, and no one dared to answer for a while.

After a while, someone in the Linyuan Hall where the needle fell suddenly coughed lightly, and asked unhurriedly, "Lord Zhang, what happened to make you so angry?"

The person who spoke was the oldest one in the current cabinet - Yuan Shouyin, a co-organizer of the Linyuan Palace.

The scholar of the palace is a super honor, but he can wear purple clothes and be called a national scholar, even if the prime minister of the previous dynasty gets it, he will be overjoyed.

Yuan Shouyin's palace co-organizer scholar is only a first-class title and wears red clothes, and the difference between the two is unreasonable.

However, it is such a title, and it is precisely the Linyuan Hall where the cabinet is located, so that Yuan Shouyin is ranked before the other rulers, and he is only a nod from the so-called cabinet chief.

The courtiers were a little sorry when they discussed it in private, but poor Yuan Gong waited for decades, and never saw the Son of Heaven relent, but in the end he only waited for Ao Mang to enter the cabinet.

When Zhang Nanrong heard this, he hurriedly stood up, picked up the book that he had slapped on the case, walked quickly to Yuan Shouyin's table opposite, and respectfully handed it over with both hands: "Yuan Gong, please take a look." ”

Yuan Shouyin's beard was gray and old, leaning back in the circle chair, as if he was dozing off a moment ago.

He half-opened his somewhat cloudy eyes, and carefully looked at Zhang Nanrong's face, but he was not in a hurry to take the fold, but asked again: "Is it related to the characters in Ao Zhizhi's pocket?"

When Zhang Nanrong heard this, he knew that his demeanor was all seen by Yuan Shouyin.

His expression became a little strange: "This...... It's really hard to get it down. ”

"Oh?"

Yuan Shouyin completely woke up at this time, and said suspiciously: "You are the middle prince of the imperial history, you have the responsibility of supervision, and you know the hundreds of officials in the court and the central government well, but there are still people you can't be sure of?"

Zhang Nanrong smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but say that he folded the music into Yuan Shouyin's hand: "It's better for Yuan Gong to see it himself." ”

Yuan Shouyin knew that this matter was strange, if it really involved the so-called "Ao Party", most of his old man was pulled by Zhang Nanrong as a shield, but he was old and frail, and his reaction was half a beat slower after all, and he couldn't dodge, so he had to reluctantly take over the twist.

"Master Zhang, you ......"

Zhang Nanrong hurriedly bowed and saluted, smiled humbly, and complimented: "If you are someone else, you will not look at it even if you throw it away immediately, and only the iron-shouldered man has always been willing to take responsibility in front of major events, and he is well-known for being considerate of juniors......"

"The old man's temperament has been thoroughly explored by you!"

Yuan Shouyin shook his head helplessly: "It's no wonder, as long as I stay in this position for a day, there are still many people who want to ask me for an old man, and they want to rush to call me an iron-shouldered man." Why not do it without any expense?"

"Hey, the iron shoulder can take on big things, the old man has been boiling all the way from the hated iron shoulder order to the cute iron shoulder man, and has been pressed on the shoulder by these six words for decades, even if it is really iron, he is really tired and panicked. Wait for the day when the old man doesn't care about anything, don't ask for anything else, just don't scold me for being a corpse and a vegetarian meal. ”

He chattered, but he still opened the fold, and after reading a few lines, his eyes suddenly widened.

Yuan Shouyin paused, as if he didn't believe it, and raised the fold closer to his eyes, looking at it carefully word by word.

His lips squirmed, and his thick beard curled up as he was reciting word by word.

This behavior naturally fell in the eyes of everyone in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but be amazed.

Seeing this, Zhang Nanrong secretly said in his heart: "Yuan Gong's sea has been up and down for decades, and the city government is far superior to me, and I don't want to see this shocking twist and turn, so I can't help but lose my temper." ”

Before Yuan Shouyin finished reading the recital, he heard someone laughing loudly at the door of the hall: "Why is it so quiet today, the Privy Council is about to boil." Cao Hutou's Western Expedition to the Pingrong Shogunate had just opened, and people from all walks of life rushed to worship the door, and the self-proclaimed god general after Geshu Donghuang took up the new Pingrong Division, which was even more in the limelight. ”

Looking at today's court, there are more or less people who are qualified and brave enough to make such a noise in the Linyuan Palace, but they will really do this, except for Ao Mang, there is really no second one.

The voice was accompanied by the sound of footsteps, and a middle-aged official in Zhu Yi flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked in quickly.

Isn't it recklessness in power?

He walked into the hall and stood still, and saw Yuan and Zhang sitting and standing, looking at him with a little weirdness in their eyes, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Iron Shoulder Gong, Mr. Jingqi, are there something wrong with the two bosses?"

Yuan Shouyin and Zhang Nanrong glanced at each other and did not speak.

As if his heart had a soul, Lord Cheng looked up at the painted paintings on the top of the hall, and whispered in admiration while watching, as if he had seen it for the first time today.

Yuan Shouyin moved his gaze back to the fold in his hand, and he also read it with relish.

"Huh?"

Ao Mang raised his eyebrows, walked quickly to Yuan Shouyin's table, pulled the book into his hand, looked at the old man who was glaring at him, and said in a sincere tone: "I see that Iron Shoulder Gong has not been in good shape recently, don't bother too much, some chores, and be reckless and will take care of it properly." ”

After he said that, he lowered his head and read casually: ""The Son of ......Heaven's Military Affairs"?

Ao Mang retracted his voice abruptly, turned his face sideways, and closed his hand tightly.

He raised his head and sneered: "This is a strange thing, a small Chang'an Order, how dare to discuss the government and obstruct His Majesty's plan to go west?"

As he spoke, he threw the fold in his hand back to Yuan Shouyin's desk, not ready to take another look.

"Lord Zhang, look at it, the one in front of us is the smart person who won't look at it if he throws it away immediately. ”

Yuan Shouyin leaned behind him and said leisurely: "Ao is going to pick a son?"
