Chapter 858 Dividing the Fish
King Yu looked at Xu Jie sincerely and said, "Master Xu, you are a lonely teacher and a lonely student. This kind of relationship is unbreakable, lips and teeth are inseparable!"

The fish lips represent the interdependence of lips and teeth, so Xu Jie naturally knew it.But what King Yu said later made Xu Jie's heart tighten. It was because King Yu no longer trusted him, and he used fish lips to remind him that he and King Yu were closely related.If King Yu is not able to ascend the throne in the end, but King Jing ascends the throne, Xu Jie will not benefit.This is a veiled complaint that Xu Jie has not come forward to support him for a while.Bitterness arose in Xu Jie's heart. Before he understood Emperor Jiajing's thoughts, Gao Gong was aggressive again. How dare he stand out?

However, at this time, King Yu looked at him with piercing eyes, obviously wanting to get an accurate answer, so he had no choice but to say:

"I understand!"

A smile appeared on King Yu's face, and he pulled out the belly of the fish again, and held it to Gao Gong.Naturally, Gao Gong also understood that the meaning of the fish belly was that Yu Wang expressed that he and Gao Gong were heart-to-heart.He smiled and said:
"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Master Gao!" King Yu looked at Gao Gong and said cordially, "I hope that Master Gao can come here often so that we can communicate with each other from the bottom of our hearts."

Bitterness also appeared in Gao Gong's heart. His situation was the same as Xu Jie's, and he also knew that King Yu was using this to express his dissatisfaction, so he nodded and said:
"I understand!"

At this time, Zhang Juzheng, Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan were all nervous.The order of dividing the fish proves everyone's status in the court. Naturally, Xu Jie and Gao Gong should be divided first, and Xu Jie is the chief assistant of the cabinet. King Yu is the first to share the fish with Xu Jie. This is normal Order.

But for the remaining four people, everyone's status in the court is almost the same, and it's normal for whoever comes first.Then, whoever Yu Wang gave the fish to first, undoubtedly proved that person's status in Yu Wang's heart.

For a while, Gao Gong and Xu Jie seemed to have abandoned King Yu, and although Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin came to Prince Yu's mansion by chance, they never heard their voices in the court.

But during this period of time, Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan made frequent moves. They both believed that Yu Wang saw it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts.In this way, the next person to share the fish should be one of the two of them. As soon as they thought of sharing the fish with one of them, the two people immediately had a desire to win, and they looked at each other with eyes on each other. Collision in the air, where is there a trace of friends and comrades?

The two people stared at each other, then turned their heads, praying in their hearts:
"It's mine, it's mine!"

King Yu skillfully shaved off the whole fish bone, and the fish meat was not blocked.Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan's eyes lit up. The meaning of this fish bone even exceeds that of fish lips and fish belly.The lips of the fish represent the interdependence between lips and teeth, and the belly of the fish represents the heart-to-heart relationship.But this only expresses close relatives.

not to mention……

King Yu did not mean to give Xu Jie fish lips and Gao Gao fish belly, but to express a kind of dissatisfaction.Therefore, the weight of this fish bone is heavy.

Because this fish bone expresses the meaning of the mainstay.

This is to tell everyone that whoever King Yu gave the fishbone to, King Yu thinks whoever is the most capable and who holds the most weight in his heart.

In this way, not only Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan, but Zhang Juzheng also stared at the chopsticks in King Yu's hand, and Luo Xin's heart became tense.

The bitterness in Xu Jie and Gao Gong's hearts was finally revealed, and bitterness appeared on their faces.

It seems that King Yu is really disappointed with the two of them.

If the two of them don't show any performance in the future, even if King Yu ascends the throne, the two of them will stand aside.

"Hmph! I want to see, who will King Yu give this fishbone to?" Gao Gong and Xu Jie thought at the same time.

King Yu picked up the intact fishbone and put it in Luo Xin's bowl.

"Teng..."

The faces of Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan flushed red, and they looked at Luo Xin full of dissatisfaction and jealousy.Zhang Juzheng shook his head slightly, and thought that Luo Xin was better than him in ability, so he was not jealous, but envy is always inevitable.

Gao Gong and Xu Jie had a rare look at each other this time, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.

Unexpectedly, without knowing it, Luo Xin would occupy such an important position in King Yu's heart.King Yu actually thought that Luo Xin played the mainstay role in his great cause of seizing the throne.

Why is this happening?

Luo Xin has been the teacher of Yu Wang for a total of two months, he left the capital and went to the southeast, and he has not been back for two months, how could he have such a status in Yu Wang's heart?
What exactly did he do?
Xu Jie couldn't figure it out, Gao Gong couldn't figure it out, Zhang Juzheng couldn't figure it out, Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan couldn't figure it out even more.

but……

They have a common sense of crisis in their hearts.

If you don't do anything else, I'm afraid Luo Xin will be the number one teacher in front of King Yu in the future.Once King Yu ascends the throne, Luo Xin will enter the cabinet, and then become the chief assistant of the cabinet. They can only obey Luo Xin's orders.

How can you be willing?

Not to mention Xu Jie and Gao Gong, they still want to realize their ideals after King Yu ascends the throne.How could Luo Xin climb on top of them?
Even Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan would not do it!
However, at this time they could only watch Yu Wang put the fishbone in Luo Xin's bowl.Luo Xin immediately showed a flattered look on his face and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

King Yu said with a smile: "Master Luo, Gu has benefited a lot from you. With you, Gu feels much at ease."

Gao Gong and Xu Jie couldn't help being terrified. Yu Wang's evaluation was too high.This made the two bigwigs in the cabinet very uncomfortable.

Neither of our two cabinet bosses can make you feel at ease, but Luo Xin, a fourth-rank official who was abandoned in Zhan Shifu, can make you feel at ease?
Both Xu Jie and Gao Gong involuntarily closed their eyes and began to reflect on themselves.

In the battle between King Yu and King Jing these days, is he too low-key?

Is it wrong to do this?

Patronizing the feelings of Emperor Jiajing, but ignoring the feelings of King Yu.

However, don't forget that if you offend Emperor Jiajing, they will be kicked out of the cabinet by Emperor Jiajing at most, but they will come back after King Yu ascends the throne.But they offended King Yu, and after King Yu ascended the throne, they would never want to enter the cabinet again.

But...they did this in the first place to preserve their strength, and in the end to promote King Yu to ascend the throne. Why didn't King Yu understand this?

Both Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan were going crazy with jealousy.

They have done so much for King Yu, but they have not received such praise from King Yu. What is Luo Xin doing?
Why is it so praised by King Yu?
