Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 23

"This..." Xie Shu laughed dryly: "Actually, it's no different, right? What Zhongqing said last night was very sudden, and I didn't take it to heart. It was just a joke. Don't mention it again."

Wei Yizhi smiled very gently: "How could it be a joke? Once I heard that you may have no descendants in this life, I couldn't bear to abandon you."

"..." Xie Shu closed his eyes in pain, and just as he was in the army, he was turned back by the general.

When he was confused, Mubai walked in, and when he saw King Wuling holding his young master's hand, his eyes immediately widened.

Xie Shu broke away from Wei Yizhi: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

"Young master, young master, Mr. Ran invites you to go back."

"Okay, let's go back now." Xie Shu stood up and sighed heavily: "Zhongqing think about it again, don't go the wrong way, I'll go back first."

Once she leaves, Wei Yizhi will naturally not stay long, he will leave after calling Fu Xuan.

After leaving the alley, Fu Xuan saw him smiling like a spring breeze, and said with a smile: "The king of the county is in a much better mood now."

Wei Yizhi's smile froze for a moment, and then he kept his face sullen all the way without speaking.

Fu Xuan had been guarding outside the door before, and he had heard a lot of what he said, thinking that he was worried that he would find out his feelings for the prime minister, so he quickly explained: "You don't have to worry about it, the king, I have seen Qin Emperor's harem man There are many pets, and I am used to it. What's more, the county king has a sincere affection for the prime minister, which is much better than the Qin emperor."

Wei Yizhi frowned. It is true that masculinity is prevalent in today's world, but he has the responsibility of being a commander. In order to be able to convince others, he has always been strict with himself.He admitted that he was moved by Xie Shu, but he kept suppressing it all the time. He never thought that he could achieve anything good with a man.Now it is not confirmed whether Xie Shu is a man or a woman, what he said and did was with a tentative heart, but what Fu Xuan said was right, just now he really felt relaxed and joyful after revealing his sincerity.

"Don't say such things in the future."

Fu Xuan looked at his expression and quickly said yes.

Xie Shu thought that Xie Ran asked her to go back because there was something urgent, but he didn't say anything when he entered the study, but just stared at him.Even Mubai followed him to stare, staring at her in a cold sweat.

"what happened?"

Xie Ran hesitated to speak several times, and it took a long time before he said: "I just got the news that the doctor captured by the King of Wuling rushed into the Xuzhou military camp to work as a military doctor. rest assured."

Xie Shu nodded with satisfaction: "He is much more reliable than that Qi Zheng. Huh? Is this what you want to talk about?"

"No," Xie Ran glanced at her, "He also attached a prescription in the letter. I thought the prime minister was ill, so I asked Mubai to make the prescription according to the prescription, but the doctor in the mansion said that the prescription was for... a man. Incapacitated."

"..." Xie Shu was speechless.

Although the doctor was from Xie's family, it was the first time for her to use it, so she didn't dare to believe it completely, so she told him that she was really inhumane, and asked him to pass the news to Wei Yizhi.Who would have thought that he would be so loyal, he would still think about her body after finishing the work, and he would even prepare a prescription for her.

Up to now, she can only say half of what she said: "Actually, it's not that serious, but the truth is that I hope that future generations will be healthy. Regardless of the size of the problem, we still need to take good care of our body."

Xie Ran was filled with emotion, this person was originally his opponent, who took away his opportunity, but became a big tree on which he depended for survival, but in the end he was no match for the tricks of good fortune.He was worried: "It's fine if it's not serious. The prime minister takes good care of his body. If the news leaks, let's not talk about marriage for now."

Xie Shu was waiting for his words, and nodded again and again: "Tuiji said exactly what he said."

After Xie Ran left, Mubai walked over with pursed mouth, encouraging her with tears shining: "My lord, don't give up, try harder!"

Xie Shu's eyes twitched: "Okay, I will work hard."

"Young Master, don't worry, no matter what you become, your subordinates will follow you around and serve you attentively!"

Xie Shu patted him on the shoulder: "I know you are the most loyal, so you were not outstanding in the thesis and martial arts, but my grandfather still chose you to be by my side."

Mubai burst into tears: "Is this subordinate so bad..."

The play is complete, and everyone believes that her femininity is the result of hunger in her early years, and it is also because she is unable to express sympathy humanely, and she can temporarily put aside the matter of marriage.

Everything is fine, but I have to drink medicine every day after that.

Xie Ran and Mubai, one for backing and one for loyalty, were extremely concerned about Xie Shu's body, sought medical advice everywhere, and even did it themselves to prevent the news from leaking, making her dumbfounded.

Xie Shu is a person who has lived a hard life, but the medicine he got in exchange for real money can only be poured out quietly, and his flesh hurts terribly.

She touched the orchid on the windowsill that was fed medicine every day: "Although you are very delicate, these medicines are more expensive, so you have to hold on."

A few days after arriving in Xiumu, Wei Yizhi suddenly came to visit her.

Mubai felt that he was too rude to his young master at the restaurant last time, and he was very disrespectful when he went to Tong Bing Xie Shu: "Sir, do you want your subordinates to send him away?"

Xie Shu laughed: "You can see who that is, how many people in the world dare to bombard him casually?"

Mubai became wilted, and left the door sullenly.

Wei Yizhi described today as very idle, with his hair tied in a bun with a bamboo hairpin, and wearing an azurite robe, like a leisurely hermit.He walked into Xie Shu's study, holding a lacquer box in his hand.

Xie Shu invited him to a seat, and ordered Mubai to serve tea, and said politely: "It's fine for Zhongqing to come, why bother to bring something."

Wei Yizhi smiled and said: "This thing is good for you." He opened the lacquer box, and there were two black pills inside.

"what is this?"

"Medicine, although Ruyi has a hidden disease, I feel that I can't give up on it. I still have to continue to treat it. Maybe it will get better?" Wei Yizhi took a teacup, put a pill in it, and poured hot water After a while, the pills melted, and a glass of clear white water was dyed black.

Xie Shu smelled the pungent bitterness and secretly thought something was wrong.

"Come on, drink it."

Xie Shu smiled dryly at his gentle smiling face: "I take medicine in the mansion every day, and the doctor warned me not to take other medicines, for fear that the medicines will interfere with each other."

"You worry too much, how can I hurt you?" Wei Yizhi put down his teacup, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, unfolded it and handed it to her: "This is a prescription, all of which are mild herbs. Take it to the doctor in Fuzhong for verification, if there is any problem, I will fully bear it."

you are vicious!
Xie Shu picked up the teacup and inhaled secretly. Drinking a cup of bitter medicine is better than bleeding from a severed head, it's nothing.

Wei Yizhi asked her: "Do you want to add some honey? It's very bitter."

Xie Shu shook his head bravely: "Although I am not as brave as Zhongqing, I am still a man. How can I be afraid of suffering?"

Unexpectedly, this medicine is not very bitter at all, it is so bitter that it kills me!And it is attached to the throat, and the bitterness lingers for a long time.

Xie Shu resisted the urge to burst into tears, and poured water calmly. In fact, he couldn't wait to rinse his mouth with water.

Wei Yizhi shook her hand to pour water, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Ruyi? Sure enough, it's still too bitter?"

Xie Shu looked up at him, gritted his teeth in his heart, and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Wei Yizhi saw that her bitter eyes were filled with tears, poured water for her and said, "How can it be okay, the doctor specifically told me that this medicine is extremely painful." He handed over the water and praised A sentence: "Ruyi is a real man."

Xie Shu has the urge to never get in touch with him.

Wei Yizhi got up and sat beside her, reaching out to wipe off the medicine stain on her lips.

Xie Shu hurriedly sat aside: "Zhongqing, you haven't figured it out yet, have you?"

Wei Yizhi sighed: "I have been a general for many years, and I will do what I say. What I say is what I say. Only you don't take those words seriously."

"Then are you going to force me to fail?"

"How come? I'm obsessed with it, just please don't dislike me."

Xie Shu turned his head, it became more and more difficult to deal with it.

It was noon when he left, Wei Yizhi still had a smile on his face when he walked out of Xie's house, and he restrained himself when he saw Fu Xuan.

Halfway through the carriage, we met Huan Ting. He didn't take the carriage, but rode his horse across the street, looking very anxious.

Wei Yizhi leaned out and called him, "Where is Enping going in such a hurry?"

Huan Ting hastily reined in his horse: "Go back to the mansion, my old man is not very well. Let's not talk about it now, let's talk about it later." After speaking, he patted his horse and left, disappearing in an instant.

Huan Ting and his grandfather Huan Huaiqing had a deep relationship, and they were called A Weng affectionately since they were young.Huan Huaiqing was the prince and grand tutor of the current dynasty, he was already old, and it seemed that his time was numbered.

Wei Yizhi instructed Fu Xuan: "Go and watch outside Huan's house, if anyone wants to go to Xie's house or the direction of the palace, stop him, but don't reveal your identity."

Fu Xuan was surprised: "Is the county king going to hide this matter from the prime minister?"

"Huan Xie has an in-law relationship, so he is naturally close. At present, the Huan family has no one available. If Huan Huaiqing's time is running out, he will definitely hand over the position of Taifu to the Xie family. He is a veteran who was valued by the late emperor. His Majesty recommends candidates, and they will surely succeed."

Fu Xuan understood and hurried to do it.

Wei Yizhi sat in the car for a long time before telling the driver to continue.

After all, he and Xie Shu have always been political enemies.

Sure enough, Huan Huaiqing sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but when it was dark, no one from the Xie family came, so he hurriedly called his grandson to him and asked him to go to the Xie family in person.

Huan Ting wiped away his tears and rode out of the mansion.

Naturally Fu Xuan couldn't stop Huan Ting, Xie Shu soon received the news and rushed to see Huan Huaiqing.

"Is there anyone in the Xie family who can use it?" Huan Huaiqing lay on the bed, angry like a silk: "I have already written the memorial, I just need to fill in the name, as long as the prime minister says I choose someone."

Xie Shu frowned and paced in front of his eyes.

The prince Taifu is one of the Eight Dukes, with a high position and weight, and the most important thing is that he can play a role at the critical moment when the prince is abolished.The emperor never gave up on the matter of abolishing the prince. Once he got this seat, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort in the future.

But she racked her brains and couldn't think of anyone who could be used.

Huan Huaiqing saw the clue and sighed: "I have tried my best, no matter whether this matter can be accomplished or not, I hope the prime minister will take care of the Huan family in the future."

Xie Shu nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Taifu, keep the truth in mind."

Back at Xie's house, Xie Shu didn't sleep well all night.

I thought that Huan Huaiqing could delay for another two days, but I didn't know that if he said nothing, he would be gone. Xie Shu was preparing to go to court early, and he became more anxious after hearing the news.

In the early court, the emperor was also in a heavy heart because of this, and thinking about the empress dowager who walked around before the gate of hell, he felt that life was impermanent.

After sighing, it's time to talk about the business, and a minister timely proposed the re-election of the Taifu.

Almost everyone turned their attention to Xie Shu, thinking that she would propose a candidate, but the first one to come out was Da Sima.

"I have a good candidate. The hermit Xun Pi is my father's teacher, with outstanding literary talent and character. Your Majesty might as well call him into the palace."

The emperor frowned and said, "He is a hermit, how did he get summoned?"

Wei Yizhi said: "Weichen has invited him personally, and he has agreed."

Xie Shu immediately swept over, gritted his teeth secretly, and came out with a final heartbreak, "I don't think Xun Pi is suitable, but Wang Jingzhi, the governor of Kuaiji, is worthy of the important task."

Xun Pi's virtue is highly respected, and Wang Jingzhi's wealth is prominent, so they are both good candidates.

The emperor held his forehead and hesitated. Most of the people on Da Sima's side who had already knelt on the ground were generals, so he had to pay attention.But Xie Shu's side was not to be outdone, and more people knelt down, because Doctor Guanglu Wang Mu led the forces of the Wang family to participate.

The emperor understood that Wei Yizhi wanted to control the post of Taifu in order to achieve the goal of abolishing the prince, and he was also happy to see it succeed.However, Wang Jingzhi has become a grand tutor, and the contribution of assisting the future monarch will revive the royal family, and the family will become more balanced.

Xie Shu could tell from his expression that he was in a dilemma, so he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty might as well ask the prince what he thinks."

The emperor glanced at her: "Alright."

Xie Ran coaxed the prince very well, asking him what he meant was like giving Wang Jingzhi another support.Wei Yizhi knew that he had lost without waiting for the prince to come out to express his intentions, and this time the emperor acquiesced.

Sure enough, the person the prince ordered was indeed Wang Jingzhi.

Yuan Lin, the supervisor of Zhongshu, led the decree to issue an edict, and Mr. Xiang sang to withdraw from the court.Xie Shu, who stood at the head of the civil servants, glanced at Wei Yizhi, the head of the military officials, and walked away.

Seeing this scene, Hussar General Yang Qiao walked up to Wei Yizhi and said, "Prime Minister, is this a fool? Why did he give up a good opportunity to the Wang family? Did he forget that Wang Jingzhi is on good terms with you?"

Wei Yizhi sneered: "Wang Jingzhi didn't make friends with me, but just wanted to join forces with me. Now that he has a chance to revive the Wang family, he doesn't need to join forces with me anymore."

Yang Qiao frowned: "Did the prime minister do it on purpose?"

Wei Yizhi pursed his lips, but did not answer.

Xie Shu's transfer of Wang Jingzhi back to the capital was definitely not a temporary idea, it must have been planned long ago, but it just happened to be this opportunity.During this period of time, he has been taking the opportunity to spy on her, I am afraid that she has already intended to use the Wang family to guard against him.

Xie Shu went to Huan's family to mourn Huan Huaiqing first.

Huan Ting was extremely sad, Mr. Pian Pian cried until his eyes were red and swollen, and he gasped.She stepped forward to comfort her and said: "Cousin is sad and obedient, the Taifu's spirit in heaven also doesn't want to see you like this, you should cheer up as soon as possible and make the Huanmen great."

Taiwei Huan Peisheng was emotional when he heard the words, and immediately bowed to her: "The Huan family swears to follow the prime minister to the death."

Huan Ting was not in the mood to care about this, and grabbed Xie Shu's sleeve, crying until half of him leaned on her arm.

Xie Shu patted him on the back to comfort him, and the servants there led King Wuling to express his condolences.

Wei Yi stepped forward to support Huan Ting, separated him from Xie Shu, and comforted him with kind words.

Huan Ting didn't know anything about today's court affairs, held his hand with one hand, and grabbed Xie Shu's sleeve with the other, and cried for a long time before he stopped, and was helped down to rest by his servants.

Xie Shu didn't talk to Wei Yizhi, so he left immediately.

She felt that this disagreement was a good opportunity to distance herself from him, so that he would have no chance to test herself again.

Wei Yizhi looked at her receding back, and already felt her deliberate alienation.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Shangsi Festival. Because of Lu Xihuan's incident, Xie Shu didn't call the aristocratic family to the gathering in Kuaiji this year, so the children of the aristocratic family had to find fun by themselves.

Xie Shu received many invitations, but she didn't go because she knew Wei Yizhi would definitely be there.

After the Shangsi Festival, it's spring hunting time.

The arty state of Jin has always valued culture over military, so there are very few outstanding generals, and military prodigies like Wei Yizhi are rare.In the past few years, the emperor intends to change the status quo, and has always encouraged everyone to practice martial arts. Every spring and autumn hunt, he ordered all the children of the family who have reached the age of fourteen to participate, and all civil and military officials must not be absent.

Xie Shufang had no choice but to cheer up and participate. In fact, she was not interested in hunting at all, but she was a little interested in roasting prey.

In Leyou Garden, all the nobles of the royal family straddled their horses, and the emperor himself was no exception.After he shot the first prey as the opening, the crowd immediately scattered happily to find the target.

Xie Shu was wearing a narrow-sleeved Hu suit, riding a horse to watch, and soon he was bored and wanted to go back early.At this time, the Ninth Prince Sima Ting came from afar and galloped all the way to her side.

"The prime minister is the head of all officials, so he should set an example, and he should participate in the hunt today."

Xie Shu cupped his hands: "Your Highness Ninth Prince should stop making fun of the truth, the truth is a civil servant, not martial arts."

Sima Ting sneered: "Which of the family's children has never learned riding and archery, didn't the Prime Minister receive a good education after returning to Xie's house?"

Today, the Xie family also has young children participating, but after all, there are few young people in the family. Most of them are either old or powerless civil servants, and they just gather around to watch the fun. I can't hold back my face.

Xie Shu smiled: "What His Royal Highness said is that since I was nearly assassinated in Stone City last time, I think it's time to practice riding and shooting."

Sima Ting snorted, the last time he was framed for doing it, he still remembered, even more so when he was taught a lesson by the emperor, Xie Shu was reminding himself not to offend him?What a common man who doesn't know etiquette!
"Since the prime minister also thinks that he should practice hard, let's do it today." He turned his head and ordered: "Prepare ten feathered arrows for the prime minister. The prime minister is just practicing. Ten are more than enough, and there is no need for more."

The eunuch had to order to fetch the arrow, and write the name and taboo of the prime minister on the handle with cinnabar.This is the rule. When counting the prey at the end, the high and low can be distinguished by the number of feather arrows.

Xie Shu saw that he was so persistent, so he could only bite the bullet. In short, this kid would not be reconciled if he didn't see himself humiliated.
