Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 2

In the 26th year of Jin Yuanhe, a vision descended from the sky.It was still spring, and the capital Jiankang was as hot as a furnace. There seemed to be eight suns in the sky, and the sunlight was so strong that it dazzled the eyes.

It is rumored that this is a warning from the heavens, because someone in the court deceived the emperor to monopolize power, and pointed the finger at the new prime minister Xie Shu.

And Xie Shu's response to this was just: "Hehe."

There are differences between scholars and concubines in the Great Jin Dynasty. Although concubines of poor families can enter the officialdom through inspections and other methods, their ranks have always been judged by their family background.

And Xie Shu is just an illegitimate son with half the blood of the common people, and he suddenly jumped to the position of prime minister. Not to mention that some people in the court are not used to it, and some people are also unbalanced.So it is not surprising that there will be such rumors.

Xie Shu himself didn't care about this, and the emperor continued to be angry with the people, and firmly followed the line of courtiers to move forward.

The sun was strong, and the number of people traveling dropped sharply. Che Yu from the Prime Minister's Mansion passed by in the street, which was particularly eye-catching.

The common people stood and watched in the shade by the roadside, talking and talking with a lot of disdain.

Che Yu's speed suddenly slowed down a lot, everyone was taken aback for a moment, thinking that what he said had been heard, everyone showed panic, but saw the curtain of the car was lifted by a folding fan, revealing a beautiful face.

There was a faint smile in those long bright eyes, like a spring breeze in February, instantly dyeing a city of crows and ink into crimson blue.

Da Jin loves beauty, and prefers femininity, even men put on whitewash.Although Xie Shu is in disguise, his figure is taller and taller than ordinary women. In addition to Xie Mingguang's deliberate training over the past eight years, after a little modification, the fake can be confused with the real one.She was also born with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and she wore a court gown with a wide robe and long sleeves with a romantic attitude, which was indescribably unparalleled.

The gossiping ones forgot the topic, and the girls were even more lost, throwing whatever they had in their hands into her car.

Xie Shu smiled slightly, and put down the car curtain, covering countless beautiful thoughts.

Back at Xie Mansion, Mubai, the attendant, made an inventory, and found that the handkerchiefs are enough to make a few bed sheets, and the melons and fruits are enough to last ten days and half a month.

Unexpectedly, the voice of opposition immediately halved after this, and Xie Shu even won the hearts of a large number of women in his boudoir.

The atmosphere of the Great Jin Dynasty was considered open, and not long after, a group of loyal girls led a group to give Xie Shuzhuang a reputation, claiming that whoever dares to say that their prime minister’s background is not good, they will definitely use some skills to make each other look good !
The weather was extremely hot, Mubai wrung a wet handkerchief to wipe Xie Shu's hands, and proudly said: "My lord has already gained a great reputation in the capital, as far as my subordinates are concerned, the only one who can compare with you now is the King of Wuling .”

Xie Shuben was quite enthusiastic, but when he heard the name, he softened.

The King of Wuling now holds nearly half of the military power in the world, so the emperor has no good intentions to bring him back now.

This matter is also her father's fault. He insisted on running her out of the capital at the time when she was about to start a family.

King Wuling was driven to the frontier, but his bride died of illness on the back.This is good, everyone said that it was Prime Minister Xie who separated people forever, it is no wonder that King Wuling hates Xie's family to death!
Xie Shu took a fan and fanned it fiercely, sweating all over, and said to Mubai, "I'll buy some gifts and send them to Da Sima's mansion later."

Mubai was single-handedly picked out by Xie Mingguang, he was loyal to the Xie family, and the Xie family was used to domineering, so when he heard this, he pouted: "Young master, what are you doing? Are you still afraid that he will fail?"

Xie Shu put away his fan and knocked him on the head: "Where is the barrel of a pen as horizontal as a real knife and gun, don't talk nonsense, go quickly!"

The news that King Wuling will return to Beijing has spread like wildfire, and now it is a hot topic of discussion among the people in the city. The hearts of those women in the capital who have not been seduced by Xie Shu are actually here, and they are all active at this time .

In a few days, the extremely fierce sun passed, and Jiankang City regained the comfort of the spring breeze, and King Wuling's team happened to arrive outside the city.

The people immediately praised him, as worthy of being the King of Wuling, the sky changed for the better after he came back!
Xie Shu's fan swayed even harder, it's really terrible, this Wuling king won't matter if he wins the hearts of the people, he will catch up with the time, and now she is more of a treacherous, unjust and helpless person.

On the day of entering the city, the roads in the city were swept clean, and the streets were crowded with crowds of onlookers.

First, a group of people entered the city, holding high the dragon flag and the big flag of Wei to clear the way, followed by a large and uniform army.The lead straddle the horse is dressed in a narrow-sleeved Hu suit, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, followed by a carriage pulled by four horses.

Everyone was discussing, the person on the horse should be King Wuling, and the one sitting in the carriage was his mother Mrs. Xiang.But why do you think it doesn't look like it?
Wei Yizhi, the king of Wuling, was as beautiful as a jewel since he was a child. Every time he passed by on the street, he attracted crowds of onlookers and praised him.And although the man on the horse in front of him is not bad, but Jiankang is the capital, there is no such thing as a handsome man, isn't he up to the grade in the rumors?

The people gathered in twos and threes to discuss——

"Could it be that King Wuling is already disabled?"

"How is it possible! In my opinion, King Wuling must have been frightened by that domineering Prime Minister Xie, and dare not come back."

"Who!" Immediately, a woman shouted angrily: "Who dares to speak ill of my Mr. Xie! Let's see if I don't kill him!"

The supporters of King Wuling immediately shouted: "You are talking about that prime minister with a bad reputation! What's the matter? How can he compare with our King Wuling? King Wuling is truly unparalleled!"

"Well, you are blind! Laifu, bite her!"

"Come on, I'm afraid of you!"

messed up.

There was chaos at one end, and some people at the other end were impatient. They wanted to get closer to the team to have a look, but they were accidentally pushed out by the people behind, and a forbidden soldier who was blocking the street was also taken down with a long gun in his hand. It fit right into the wheel.But the horse didn't stop, the carriage was suddenly pulled in the wrong direction, the gun body swept across the ground, and it was about to hurt people.

The man in the Hu suit hastily rode over to subdue the horses, but saw someone leaning out from the car, whipping out a whip with one hand and bringing out the long gun.

The crowd was dazzled by this scene, their eyes subconsciously followed the whip, and they didn't realize it until the spear was inserted into the ground. Then they looked at the carriage, and the man had already sat back, not showing a piece of his clothes.

The man in Hu suit got off his horse, pressed his sword with one hand, and strode forward.The imperial soldiers and civilians who fell down were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Forget it, Fu Xuan." A male voice came out from inside the car, it was long and deep, and it was indescribably moving.

The man who was called Fu Xuan had no choice but to retreat, get on his horse, and open the way again.

"Is that the King of Wuling?" The common people suddenly realized.

Xie Shu sat drinking tea in the study, heard the report brought back by Mubai, raised his eyebrows and said: "This Wuling King is quite mysterious."

Mubai insisted on his position and expressed his disdain: "It's just playing tricks!"

Xie Shu smacked his lips, and said: "It seems that he is really a handsome man."

"Tch, I can't even match the hair on your leg, my lord!"

Xie Shu glanced at him appreciatively: "You still have vision."

This time King Wuling felt that the emperor was happy, and it is said that he was summoned to the palace to have a long talk that day, and the talk lasted overnight.

They didn't sleep all night, and Xie Shu was not much better.The emperor regards her as a thorn in the flesh, and the King of Wuling has a grudge against the Xie family. If these two people get together, I'm afraid they have prepared dozens of ways for her to die, right?

Alas, sinners, how are you going to live this day.

The emperor was tired all night, so he stopped court the next morning.Xie Shu is very grateful to him now, at least he doesn't have to get up early in the morning to corset his chest.

As soon as he jumped out happily, Mubai Youyou came up to him and said, "My lord, the King of Wuling just sent someone to return the gift you gave me."

Mubai had long been brainwashed by the concept of "the Xie family is the first in the Jin Dynasty", and he didn't think that giving gifts to the King of Wuling was a flattery, it was definitely a charity, so now that the gift was withdrawn, he felt very unhappy, and almost It is suggested that Xie Shu go to fight against the King of Wuling.

Xie Shu thought that the King of Wuling was probably trying to draw a line with her, so he curled his lips and said, "Forget it, let him alone."

"My lord..." Mubai was extremely sad, you should be more motivated!
After that, King Wuling kept a low profile and did not go to court early for several days on the pretext of taking a rest.Originally, Xie Shu thought that he would not be able to see him for the time being, but His Majesty the Emperor was really a flirt, and soon he couldn't help showing that he had a helper, and ordered a banquet in the palace to welcome King Wuling, all officials must attend.

Xie Shu was preparing in the room, originally thinking about going to court clothes, but then he thought, the King of Wuling has already drawn a clear line with himself, so why give him face?When it was time to make a show, he did it, so he asked Mubai to fetch casual clothes for himself.

Mubai's spirit was lifted, and he expressed his support for her high-spirited fighting power.

The banquet was set at Youshi, Xie Shu deliberately pinched it, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, all the officials were already lined up and saluted her neatly.

The prime minister has a special license to drive into the first gate of the palace.Xie Shu passed by in his car without even showing his face.The capital given by the old man is not in vain. Of course, at this time, we must seize the opportunity to pretend to be powerful.

At the second palace gate, Xie Shu got out of the car, and there were already palace people coming to welcome him, so Mu Bai retreated.

She was just about to leave when a car drove slowly from the direction of the inner palace, it must be some prince.Not long after, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy got out of the car, who was the ninth son of the current Holy Majesty.

Xie Shu adjusted his clothes: "See..."

"Bah!" The Ninth Prince spat hard and interrupted her worship: "It's just an illegitimate child, and you are worthy of going in and out of the court pretending to be?"

Surprised left and right, Xie Shu himself was also a little surprised.The Ninth Prince is the most favored by the emperor, and he is always proud of being favored, but it is really surprising that he dares to ridicule her in public.

She thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that the emperor proposed to abolish the crown prince and replace it with the ninth prince, but was blocked by Xie Mingguang.

No wonder, this is another enemy.

The Ninth Prince was still puzzled, and bumped into her hard as he passed by her.Xie Shu was caught off guard and fell down, his clothes just hanging on the wheel.

The palace man next to him was so frightened that he hurriedly came to help him, but suddenly backed away.

Xie Shu was surprised, and supported her with one hand to stand up, but the corner of her clothes was tripped by the nails on the wheel, and when she got up, she cracked with a "hiss".

"..." She really didn't know what to say, she turned her head to look at the man, but saw a flash of sword light in front of her, and she shrank her neck in fright.

Then, the corner of her clothes, which was wrapped around the wheel, was cut open.

"See King Wuling." The left and right palace people knelt on the ground.

Well, Xie Shu twitched the corner of his mouth, cutting off his robe as soon as he came up, it's really great!

The King of Wuling didn't even wear court clothes, he was dressed in a frosty white robe trimmed with yarrow embroidery, with a golden crown and hair, and a long body.But in such a leisurely and self-satisfied state, there is still a long sword on his waist.

The emperor was so eccentric that he was allowed to walk in the palace with a sword.Just as Xie Shu finished slandering, the King of Wuling had already put away his sword, turned his head and looked over, she was slightly taken aback.

The humane Wuling King Wei Yizhi has been called a Jade Man since he was a child, and it was just a way of saying it to her, but now he really feels this way when he sees a real person.

Eyes like lacquer and eyebrows like distant black are not enough to describe, just standing like this, he has the ability to make people unable to take their eyes off.The belt is in the wind, and the wide sleeves are inspiring. It has a romantic charm, and just a look in the eyes can make people have many reveries from the bottom of their hearts.

It is said that someone in Jiankang once praised it for "the appearance of the distant mountains and the appearance of the clouds", which is really worthy of it.

"Thank you and be polite." Wei Yizhi raised his hand in salute, with a dignified manner.

Xie Shu glanced at his face, reluctantly overturned Mubai's evaluation of him, and replied with a half-courte: "The King of Wuling is polite."

The Ninth Prince on the side was very upset, and rushed over to pull Wei Yizhi: "Brother Zhongqing, what are you doing to help him? Such treacherous ministers..."

"Your Highness, let's go see His Majesty quickly." Wei Yizhi winked at the palace people around him, and the Ninth Prince was coaxed away immediately.

He turned his head and took a look at Xie Shu's clothes, and said with a pleasant expression, "This king also acted helplessly just now, thank you, no wonder. I didn't know that Xie Shu had prepared clothes, but my king had a set in his car, but I was afraid that Xie Shu would dislike him. "

"How could it be?" Xie Shu smiled, "As long as the King of Wuling doesn't dislike the truth."

"Where is it, Prime Minister Xie is too polite." Wei Yizhi kept smiling, and immediately ordered the palace servants to ask Xie Shu to go to his carriage to change clothes.

Xie Shu thanked him and left, accepting it calmly.

Her own car is luxurious and luxurious, but Wei Yizhi is now the king of Wuling and the chief Sima, but the car is only of the grade of a fifth-rank official.

Tsk, if it's not really a noble character, it's deliberately compared with her, a virtuous king and a sycophant.

Cunning!
Xie Shu ordered the palace guards to stand guard outside the car, and boarded the car to change clothes.Sure enough, there are clothes in the car, which are brand new, but the material is really ordinary.But even so, it was much better than what she was wearing before entering Xie's house.

She smiled and put on without hesitation.

When they arrived at the Tongguang Hall where the banquet was held, the little eunuch who called the roll almost didn't recognize Xie Shu.

Wei Yizhi was half a head taller than her, and his shoulders were wider than hers. The looser the dress was on her, the more coquettish it was.But the material and workmanship are obviously the clothes of the common people, right?
Xie Shu ignored it and walked into the hall.

After this delay, the officials who had fallen behind her had already entered the hall through another door and took their seats one after another.Seeing her come in at this moment, everyone opened their mouths wide in shock and confusion.

Xie Shu took his time, lifted his right hand lightly, and coughed lightly with his red lips together. The left and right woke up immediately, and everyone stood up and saluted her.

The emperor sat on top, saw her attire, frowned and said, "Master Xie, it's fine for you to be late, why are you dressed so undignified? King Wuling has just returned to the capital, and you are the head of all officials. This is how to treat guests." way?"

Xie Shu naturally understood that he was provoking, so he smiled, his eyes were bright, and he glanced at Wei Yizhi.He also raised his eyes to look at her after the crime, with a smile on his face, showing no hostility at all.The Ninth Prince sitting next to him couldn't help smiling no matter what, and almost laughed out loud.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I encountered some incidents on the way to enter the palace, and I accidentally scratched my clothes, so I was delayed. This clothes was a gift from the King of Wuling. How moved I am..." Xie Shu shook his head, "Wuling Now that the king is the Grand Sima, with a high position and authority, he lives such a simple life. Not only are the carriages made of ordinary clothes, but even his clothes are no different from those of ordinary people. Its golden thousand taels as a token of appreciation."

The emperor was baffled, she was obviously admired, why did he ask him to pay?

"There is no need for a thousand taels of gold. Your Majesty's love has long been engraved in my heart." Wei Yizhi took the words and immediately eased the emperor's heart.He looked Xie Shu up and down, and the smile deepened between his brows and eyes: "The clothes are suitable for Mr. Xie, especially for Mr. Xie's temperament."

There was silence all around, but the Ninth Prince couldn't hold back his laughter at last.Some of the officials couldn't help laughing at this smile, but they quickly suppressed it.

Xie Shu had known for a long time that his appointment as prime minister had not only dissatisfied the emperor and several big families, but even Xie Mingguang's confidantes were also dissatisfied, so when Wei Yizhi came back, some people immediately began to waver and wait and see.

Identity is indeed a problem, but she dares to disguise herself as a man, so the question of blood is a piece of cake.

"Is this true?" Not only was she not angry, but she was very excited, "No one knows that I am a famous scholar in the Jin Dynasty, except for Langya King Jingzhi, who is your Wuling King. Now I am wearing your clothes and you are praised Ruosi , I'm really flattered. I don't want my real appearance to be so vulgar, but I can still get into your eyes, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

It's not easy for people to make fun of it.

After Xie Shu finished speaking, she walked towards the first position on the left. She walked slowly, not as if she was in a temple, but as if she was walking in a ten-zhang bamboo forest.

Wei Yizhi was very famous young, with eyes as high as the sky, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times at this time.When she stopped in front of her seat, she suddenly looked sideways, and lightly spread the folding fan in her hand, covering the corners of her slightly curved lips, revealing only a pair of sparkling eyes, which made him slightly absent-minded.

As expected of Chen Liuxie.He narrowed his eyes and looked into the wine cup, with a smile on his lips.

After drinking for three rounds, the emperor still remembered that Xie Shu wanted to set him up for gold, so he proposed to have some fun, and the prime minister would take the lead in this matter.
