first minister
Chapter 456 The final suspense of Daxia Court
"Husband, isn't this a little too incredible?"
Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, "So I am just making a bold assumption and hope you will verify it carefully for me."
When Xia Jingyun said this, Yanzhi immediately felt excited about a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, "Don't worry, husband, Yanzhi will check carefully."
Xia Jingyun stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand to gently pull back a few strands of hair around her ears, and pinched her beautiful face, "Let me take care of myself in the hot weather these days, and I will make it up to you in a few days."
Her rouge face was slightly red, and she gave a low hum. Xia Jingyun reached down, patted her gently, and left with a smile as the plump part trembled.
After leaving Heibingtai, Xia Jingyun went to Qingbei Tower again, where he met the three heroes of Tushan whom he had not seen for a long time.
Thanks to their daily work and rest habits of half-farming and half-reading, the three of them maintained good physical fitness. Therefore, after receiving Xia Jingyun's symptomatic treatment, they quickly achieved immediate results.
Although he still shows the weakness of recovering from a serious illness, his body is no longer serious.
Moreover, Xia Jingyun's situation is not much different, and they seem to be a good match.
Four weak people sat opposite each other, and a weak disciple came to serve them tea.
Xun Feihong silently boiled a pot of water, boiled all the tea cups, and then changed the water to make tea again.
Looking at the busy disciples, Mr. Linxi smiled bitterly, "Nowadays, when serving tea to others, I have to hesitate again and again, for fear of something happening again."
Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "It is human nature to be afraid of well ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake, but now that Xuanhu and Laiyang Hou have been arrested, everything will be fine."
Mr. Wan Lin sighed, "We regret having caused His Majesty and the court to suffer. Fortunately, Marquis Jianning took action and prevented the situation from falling into an irreversible situation and affecting the current prosperous court situation and state affairs. Mr. Marquis' kindness , I can’t thank you enough!”
As the three of them were about to stand up and express their thanks, Xia Jingyun quickly climbed up and supported the three of them, "You three old gentlemen, please don't do this. This is not your fault in the first place. I came here today to pay a visit as entrusted by His Majesty. Taking care of the bodies of the three of you will also provide comfort to His Majesty. Your Majesty and the court know that you are also victims and have no intention of pursuing any further prosecution."
Mr. Linxi sighed, "Your Majesty is so kind to you. We are naturally grateful, but this incident happened in Qingbei Tower after all. And now that His Majesty has suffered a leg injury and has difficulty walking, it makes us feel even more guilty."
Mr. Kongbi's dark face remained the same, "Your Majesty worships us as his disciples. He only has the title of Imperial Master, but he has not made any contribution to your Majesty. Instead, he has brought trouble to your Majesty. I really feel guilty."
Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "In that case, I will make a request for Your Majesty. I hope the three old gentlemen can grant it."
Mr. Linxi said directly: "Master Marquis, please tell me, as long as we can do anything, there will be no reason to recommend."
Xia Jingyun picked up the tea cup and glanced at Xun Feihong. Mr. Linxi immediately understood and asked Xun Feihong to lead everyone in the building out first.
After everyone left, Xia Jingyun said slowly: "Your Majesty has experienced life and death and has grown a lot. He wants to go on a tour in all directions, not only to observe the people's sentiments and clean up local civil affairs, but also to relax and speed up his recovery. I discussed with the Queen Mother, I feel that there are many benefits to this matter, so I plan to agree.”
Mr. Wan Lin nodded and answered, "Your Majesty has lived in the palace since he was a child. If he cannot understand the people's sentiments and the actual situation of the world, he will not be able to govern personally in the future."
"Ahem!" Mr. Linxi suddenly interrupted Mr. Wan Lin, "But Lord Marquis, how can we protect His Majesty's safety? This is true only in the capital, but not even more so outside the capital."
Xia Jingyun pretended not to notice, and said: "This matter naturally needs to be considered in the long term and fully prepared. The initial plan is to go on patrol incognito, which will not disturb people's livelihood, but also allow us to see the true situation, and it will also be more conducive to protecting His Majesty's safety."
Mr. Kongbi said in a deep voice: "Whatever you need me to do, Marquis Jianning, please tell me directly."
"I would like Xun Feihong to accompany His Majesty on his tour."
"What does this mean? I have no objection to such trivial matters."
Mr. Wan Lin nodded immediately, but Mr. Linxi looked solemn and surprised, "Marquis Jianning, what are you doing?"
In surprise, he even changed his name.
When His Majesty goes on tour, those who can accompany him will naturally be extremely trusted and relied upon.
Your Majesty and Xun Feihong are brothers, so there is no problem in terms of closeness, but when these words came out of Marquis Jianning's mouth, there was a hint of recognition.
For Marquis Jianning, who is destined to dominate the government and the public for decades, the meaning is not obscure when he takes the initiative to propose this.
Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "I have this idea. He comes from a humble background and knows that people's livelihood is not easy. To be able to become a disciple of three people by his own efforts shows his talent. With the guidance of three people, it goes without saying that his character is talented; and with three people, it goes without saying In terms of position, after being under my disciple for nearly a year, he is still neither humble nor arrogant, and his character is adequate. What's more, he can also save His Majesty, so you can give it a try."
After listening to the end, Mr. Wan Lin and Mr. Kongbi realized Xia Jingyun's true intention, which was to train Xun Feihong as his future successor.
Xia Jingyun saw the serious expressions on the three people's faces and laughed, "It's just an idea. When he comes back, follow me for a while. Whether he can succeed in the end depends on his own destiny in the future. It's just a coincidence that I'm here now. In the future, he may be much slower. I will never be able to get over it so quickly."
Mr. Linxi breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, I would like to follow Marquis Jianning's instructions."
After expressing his visit and agreeing on matters, Xia Jingyun chatted for a few more words and then stood up to leave.
The three of them personally carried Xia Jingyun out of the gate. Xia Jingyun turned to look at Xun Feihong, who had gradually become more like an adult. He nodded with a smile and got into the carriage.
Sitting on the carriage, he looked at Chen Fugui and said, "Brother Chen, has that young man we met in Xichu County gone to Beijing?"
Chen Fugui thought for a while and said, "Well, he went to Beijing, and together with his younger brothers and sisters, he was arranged to be looked after by Lu Yi according to your instructions."
"Remind me tomorrow and I'll go see him."
"Okay. Master, shall we go back home now?"
Xia Jingyun hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Go back. If you don't, you'll really feel guilty."
Returning to the Hou Mansion, before Xia Jingyun saw the bloody storm in the back house, he saw a sneaky figure who was taking pleasure in others' misfortune.
Xia Jingyun made a silencing gesture toward Chen Fugui, slowly stepped forward, and slapped Chen Fugui on the shoulder.
"Bah!"
Bai Yunbian was so frightened that he almost flew up. He turned to look at Xia Jingyun, touched his chest with lingering fear, and said in revenge: "You're not dead?"
"You're not dead, why should I die?"
"If you had told me earlier, I would have wasted the time to prepare the table."
"You." What happened?"
The third level is not scary, but the people in the third level are a bit scary.
Thinking of Jiang Yuhu, Bai Yunbian shuddered, "You are so heartless. I came to see you with good intentions, but you repaid me with kindness like this!"
Xia Jingyun snorted, and before he could feel proud that he hit Bai Yunbian seven inches, Bai Yunbian asked with a gossipy face: "Is Yelu Caiqi gone?"
Xia Jingyun turned around sharply, "Good guy, are you here to see this?" Be a human being!
"Then you go and take a look?"
Bai Yunbian immediately agreed to come down and rush in, but Xia Jingyun quickly grabbed him with quick eyes and hands, almost staggering, "You are almost entering the fucking center, can you stay steady!"
"What's better than entering the center?" Bai Yunbian was stunned, "Enter the center?"
"Let's go and talk in the study."
Xia Jingyun took Bai Yunbian into the study, and asked Chen Fugui to guard the door and look at him, "Now that Wan Wenbi and Yan Songwen have fallen, what do you think?"
Bai Yunbian sighed, "I don't have to pretend, right?"
Xia Jingyun nodded, "Look, if you want to enter the center, just keep pretending. If you don't want to enter the center, then there's no need."
Bai Yunbian said immediately: "I am willing to be loyal to the country and contribute more strength to the country." Xia Jingyun looked at him speechlessly, "Why do I feel that you are scolding me just to make it easier?"
"You feel wrong." Bai Yunbian looked upright.
Xia Jingyun didn't bother to argue with this guy. He said directly: "After this, I want to be the prime minister, but there will definitely be people who are unwilling and will oppose it covertly or openly. If you want to enter the center, seize this opportunity to quarrel with me." , they will naturally carry you in and carry the flag for them. This is very different from what we said before. Although these people can't make any waves, it is better to give them a channel to vent than to secretly connect with each other on your own. Let’s think about what’s going on and what’s going on before there’s another big mess like the past two days.”
"You want to be the prime minister? Is the palace opened by your family?" Looking at Xia Jingyun's naturally calm and calm expression, Bai Yunbian was shocked and subconsciously retorted. He immediately realized what he was saying and choked up speechlessly, "Damn, the palace is still open. It’s really your family’s business.”
"Okay, just say these things in front of me. Don't blame me if something happens when you mess around in front of others."
Xia Jingyun glared at him, "The higher we go now, the more people are staring at us."
Bai Yunbian also slowly put away his teasing at this moment, sat on the chair and looked at Xia Jingyun, "Have you really decided?"
Xia Jingyun nodded, "There's no need to waste it. If you waste it for one more day, the people of Li will suffer for one more day. Let them live a good life as soon as possible. Help a bunch of people and I will take the blame."
Bai Yunbian sighed, "How can you bear the burden alone? I will accompany you! Who makes you my younger brother!"
Seeing Bai Yunbian's serious but dishonest look, Xia Jingyun also rolled his eyes a little jumpily, "Let's have some shame! Why didn't you say that Jiang Yuhu is your little brother?"
"Then just wait, I'll tell you later!"
Xia Jingyun was too lazy to answer him, "But anyway, after cleaning up the court, we have to do a good job. You have to take good care of the censor's desk and select more good censors. Those whose corpses are sitting on a plain diet should be dealt with as they should." Dispose of it. Discuss it with Mr. Wei and make sure there are no problems with the procedure."
Bai Yunbian nodded, "Don't worry, I have already scouted out a lot of people. As you know, Uncle Li Duan and Xu Boyi, these people are all good prospects in Yushitai. They are just waiting for your words!" "
Xia Jingyun hummed, "You are thoughtful."
"Hey!" After a moment of silence, Bai Yunbian suddenly looked at Xia Jingyun, "Are you even the slightest bit touched?"
Xia Jingyun looked at this comrade who had been fighting side by side with him since he left Sishui Prefecture. He was even willing to sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation. Well, it was not a sacrifice, just to scold his comrades. He smiled slightly and said, "So, do you want to What do you want in return? Next time Jiang Yuhu beats you, I will wipe your blood?"
"No, just let me go and see the tragic scene in your back house. I won't be able to see it any later."
"roll!"
Xia Jingyun cursed and pushed Bai Yunbian out, then looked in the direction of the backyard, sighed, and walked in bravely.
But what surprised him was that before he even got there, he heard bursts of laughter coming from the waterside pavilion by the lake;
The bamboo curtains and curtains are full of shadows, revealing a few beautiful figures leaning forward and back, and a happy scene.
???
When Xia Jingyun's figure appeared, everyone who was smiling at Yan Yan stood up. Su Yanyan smiled and said: "Husband, are you back?"
Xia Jingyun looked at Su Yanyan, then at Qin Li, then moved his eyes to Yelu Caiqi, and finally looked at Feng Xiuyun and Xia Ningzhen inquiringly.
Seeing his nervous and confused look, Qin Li couldn't help but smile and said: "Husband, let me introduce to you, this is our newly recognized adopted sister, Princess Anle of Daliang, the pearl of the prairie, Miss Yelu."
Step sister?
Xia Jingyun suddenly understood and looked at Su Yanyan and Qin Li with a hint of admiration and gratitude.
With this move, they directly found a new way to establish a good relationship with Yelu Caiqi without causing a more complicated situation. By the way, they could also dispel some of Xia Jingyun's possible thoughts.
Tsk tsk, a noble girl is different.
Seeing Xia Jingyun's gaze, the two women showed an expression of "Are we such stupid women?" and raised their chins proudly.
Seeing that the person on the other end had a good understanding of each other and was in love with his concubine, Yelu Caiqi felt that he seemed a bit redundant and stood up, "Sisters, I appreciate your hospitality. I will take my leave first."
After Su Yanyan and others achieved their goal, they naturally no longer had the desire to retain Yelu Caiqi. What's more, the completely different wild and energetic beauty of the other party also put a lot of pressure on them.
After the girls exchanged polite greetings, Xia Jingyun personally sent the other party out.
Walking to the door of the mansion, Yelu Caiqi chuckled and said, "Marquis Jianning, when will you take me to the palace and to the bamboo forest?"
Xia Jingyun said: "You have to wait for me to make some arrangements, and then I'll be fine."
"Hey." Yelu Caiqi suddenly sighed softly and said plaintively, "I knew you were just talking nonsense to make me happy."
"tomorrow!"
Xia Jingyun immediately stretched out his hand to interrupt the spell.
"Then it's settled!"
Yelu Caiqi immediately returned to normal, smiled proudly, and jumped away with the maid and guards, heading towards Honglu Temple.
Looking at her back, Xia Jingyun smiled helplessly.
Immediately, his smile slowly faded. Three days after returning to Beijing, these trivial matters were gradually settled, and it was time to start getting busy with business.
He looked towards the southeast corner of the palace, smiled softly, turned around and walked into the mansion.
In the direction of his gaze, in the central courtyard, Wei Yuanzhi and Li Tianfeng were walking slowly among the flowers.
"Now that the center is missing two people, who does Mr. Wei think the Queen Mother will choose to replace him?"
"I don't care who will replace him now, but I am thinking about who should be the prime minister?"
Li Tianfeng smiled and said: "Who else could it be? Gao Yang has already shown his attitude. Is it possible that someone else can compete with him?"
Wei Yuanzhi shook his head, "In the officialdom, there are still rules to follow after all. After all, Gao Yang is too young. He entered the center with his irrefutable Dragon Supporting Skill, which is already a bit reluctant. If he were to sit on that person directly, The position of Prime Minister, who is above ten thousand people, may be criticized by the public, but it is not beautiful!"
Li Tianfeng frowned slightly when he heard this, "He has already blatantly thrown Wan Wenbi and Yan Songwen into the Black Ice Platform, why are they hiding them? If anyone objects, just clean them up."
Wei Yuanzhi walked slowly, "That's what I said, but can I do this? His Majesty has the power of life and death over his ministers, but do you see any of his Majesty killing his ministers at will? The ancestors established the law, the officialdom rules, the world's discussion, According to historical records, these are all troubles. Now it seems that the better way is for him to be the deputy prime minister, monopolize the power, push Prime Minister Yang to the position of prime minister, and serve as a nominal shield."
Li Tianfeng immediately shook his head when he heard this, "The lessons learned from Wan Wenbi's mistakes are still there, and when Yang Weiguang acts like Wan Wenbi, will it happen again?"
Wei Yuanzhi sighed, "So this is the problem!"
Li Tianfeng looked at Wei Yuanzhi, "Mr. Wei, you are also senior, why not?"
Wei Yuanzhi waved his hand, "I am self-aware. If I can't succeed, I have been outside for many years and my achievements are not obvious. To be able to enter the central government, take charge of the staff and become a heavenly official is already a queen's love and reluctance. To be the prime minister is too much. ."
Li Tianfeng also sighed, "Hey, youth is his advantage, but now it has become his constraint!"
In the small central courtyard not far from them, Deputy Prime Minister Yang Weiguang slowly put down the pen in his hand. The subordinate officials on the side quickly brought a cup of warm ginseng tea at the right time, and then said with a smile: "I would like to congratulate your husband first." , summit phase.”
Yang Weiguang glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about! Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will decide this matter. It's your turn to talk nonsense here!"
Although the tone was serious, the subordinate officer who had been following Yang Weiguang for a long time could see his true attitude from his subtle expressions and reactions. He immediately bowed and Weiwei stepped back.
Yang Weiguang picked up the tea cup, picked up the lid and gently scratched it, Prime Minister, hehe.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he took a sip. It tasted good! (End of chapter)
