Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 31

The car passed Suzaku Hang, and suddenly stopped.Mubai opened the curtain and told Xie Shu that King Wuling was coming, probably because of the delivery of medicine, his tone was finally a little polite.

Before dawn, Wei Yizhi ordered people to turn off the lights, boarded Xie Shu's car, and said as soon as he sat down, "Let's go."

Xie Shu laughed: "Are you going to protect me personally?"

Wei Yizhi caressed the hem of the court clothes: "Anyway, it's on the way, so it doesn't matter if we walk together for a while." He looked closer at her face: "Is the injury better?"

"It's okay, it's just a little pain, and I can't move my arm."

"Why does it still hurt after taking painkillers?"

Xie Shu moved his arm and took a breath: "It just hurts."

Wei Yizhi leaned over, touched her wound lightly, and said angrily: "Who bandaged it, the knot is tied like this, and it keeps pressing on the wound, of course it will hurt."

"Huh? Mubai wrapped it."

Wei Yi was stunned: "What? You asked Mubai to bandage you?"

Xie Shu glanced at him: "Is there any problem?"

"Can't you find a maid?"

"I'm not worried about the maid, but Mubai is the most reliable."

Wei Yizhi was silent for a moment, and pulled her to lie on his lap.

"what are you doing?"

"Re-bandage you."

Xie Shu had experienced his craftsmanship before, and the bag was indeed very good, so he let him play with it with peace of mind.

With his shirt off, Xie Shu, in order to divert the embarrassment, asked, "I heard from Fu Xuan that you didn't sleep well last night?"

"Hmph, yes, I've been thinking about how to get revenge, how can I sleep well?"

"You have enemies?"

"That's right, I hate it."

"What happened to him?"

"she……"

Xie Shu was listening intently, when Wei Yizhi suddenly tightened his grip on the wound, causing her to let out a soft cry.

"The bandage was too loose, and the medicine didn't even apply. You are really afraid of pain, and it still hurts like this when you divert your attention."

Xie Shu sat up with a dark face and straightened his clothes: "Thanks."

Fu Xuan, who was riding on a horse outside the car, approached Che Yu and said, "Your Majesty, you've arrived at the Royal Road."

"Yeah." Wei Yizhi said to Xie Shu: "Yang Qiao's men have been guarding this place since then, so I went back to my carriage to deceive others. Pay more attention to the wound."

Xie Shu nodded, watched him get out of the car, and saw Mubai's melancholy face outside the car in a blink of an eye.

"Uh... Mubai, actually I think your bandages are pretty good."

Mubai bit her lip and turned her head away.

Wei Yizhi deliberately stopped the carriage and waited for Xie Shu to leave first.He called Fu Xuan and ordered: "Send someone to monitor the movements of the major families. Since Prime Minister Xie was dismissed from the record book affairs, many people will definitely be jealous."

"The king of the county secretly helps the prime minister, what if he finds out?"

"Then you tell her that I think her being prime minister is good for everyone."

Fu Xuan frowned: "Using this reason, when will the king of the county let Prime Minister Xie understand your affection?"

Wei Yizhi laughed: "Don't worry, she believes in this reason the most. I have been a general for a long time, and I thought it would be good to speak out, but I didn't expect her to be cautious, but it backfired. In short, you just do what I say. gone."

Fu Xuan was not worth it for him. After all, the prime minister is a man, and no woman is considerate.

Today's court is very angry and strange, and it has been dragged on for a long time even though there is no major matter.

Everyone was secretly observing Xie Shu's reaction, but she looked as usual except that she stopped talking casually.

Xie Minghe and Xie Mingzhang and the other old people were also quietly observing her. They were surprised to see that she didn't look injured at all. Looking at the row of generals behind Wei Yizhi, they couldn't help feeling apprehensive.

Xie Shu, this brat, when did he collude with his enemy!

Qi Zheng's work was very reliable this time, when Ye Zi, all the people on the list were invited to the prime minister's mansion by him.

The study room was not big enough, Xie Shu received everyone in the hall, there were dozens of people, almost all of them were distant relatives of Xie's family.Xie Shu asked Qi Zheng to take the prime minister's staff to avoid him first, and said with a smile, "Today I want to talk to my relatives about everyday things."

Everyone knelt down suddenly.

Xie Shu got up and said, "Everyone please get up quickly. The truth has been removed from the position of Minister of Records. Only you in Xie's family knelt down and begged for mercy. Keep the truth in mind, and I am very grateful."

Xie Ziyuan said: "The prime minister is serious. Since ancient times, the internal struggles in the family have always harmed oneself and benefited others. It is a pity that we are so soft-spoken that we cannot help the prime minister."

"I don't blame you, it's the elders who are very powerful, and the other clansmen must have been forced to do so. After all, Da Jin values ​​filial piety, and disobedience to the elders is not a good reputation. Most people still need to rely on the recommendation of the elders to become officials."

Seeing her tolerance, Xie Yun, who was kneeling in the corner, nodded his head and said: "Prime Minister Xie Yunmeng reminded me that today I am today, but I am really ashamed to avenge my kindness."

Xie Shu helped him up: "If you are willing to come to see me today, it will not be regarded as revenge. It is rare for the Xie family to have a military officer, and I hope you can distinguish right from wrong. If you make contributions in the future, it will be regarded as a reward for me."

Xie Yun became more ashamed and even claimed it was.

After Xie Shu came back to the case, he said, "Although I am the prime minister, I care about my status seriously. I am no different from everyone here, and even worse than you. Now that the close relatives of the Xie family have fewer talents, the distant relatives are full of talents. It is those who control the lifeblood of the family. A close relative with no talent and no morals. Today I just ask one question, everyone here is willing to work with me, Xie Shu, to revive the Xie family."

Everyone was astonished. She meant to rely on distant relatives like them to rebuild the power center of the Xie family?

This has never happened among aristocratic families who value blood ties.

Xie Shu asked again: "Would you like it?"

Xie Ziyuan was the first to make up his mind: "I swear to follow the prime minister to the death."

Xie Yun also said: "Swear to follow the prime minister to the death."

Everyone shouted: "Swear to follow the prime minister."

After the distant relatives left, Xie Shu went to the ancestral hall.

The lights were dim, and Xie Mingguang's tablet was as cold and majestic as he was in his lifetime.

She poured the wine and placed it in front of the memorial tablet, but she didn't kneel or worship, she just watched coldly.

"Eight years of teaching, two years of being prime minister. You told me to seek stability and peace, and to preserve the entire Xie family, and now, this is how the Xie family treats me. If you are still alive, what would you say? It is because of the collapse of a thousand miles In the ant nest, kill these black sheep? Or let them perish by lawlessness? What you want is the long-term prosperity of the family, but they only want immediate benefits. Why do you impose the fate of these people on me alone? But fortunately, this arrow pierced through the little nurturing grace I cared about."

She took a step closer and said with a sneer: "Before today, I was the prime minister for survival, but now I have changed my mind. What you gave me has been lost by your people, and I will get it back by myself. One day, I want this Xie family, which only remembers you, Xie Mingguang, to crawl under the feet of my illegitimate son."

She raised her neck and drank the sacrificial wine, turned around and left the ancestral hall.

Jiankang in winter is gloomy and gloomy all day long, and snow will probably fall in the next few days, and the air is always filled with moisture, making people shiver with cold.

Wang Jingzhi ordered people to light a charcoal fire in the study, and leaned on the couch with the scroll in his hand to read it leisurely. Just as he was at Xingtou, a servant came in with a letter in his hand and said, "Master, the Prime Minister has sent a letter."

"Oh?" He sat up, took it, read it carefully, and sighed: "The prime minister is here to collect debts."

After speaking, he seemed to find it interesting, so he couldn't help laughing twice, and then threw the letter into the charcoal fire and burned it.

Early the next morning, when I opened the door, I saw that the courtyard was covered with snow, and it was snowing.

Mubai tied the cloak on Xie Shu and said sadly: "I put all the medicine in the car, anyway the King of Wuling dislikes me for not dressing well."

Xie Shu comforted him: "Don't say that, he also hopes that my injury will heal soon."

Mubai heard that she meant to defend King Wuling in her tone, so he went out with his lips pouted.

On the morning road, Wei Yizhi caught him on the road together, and it was still the medicine he helped to change.

But two days later, Xie Shu's face was already invulnerable, he lay leisurely on his lap and said: "The majestic King Wuling serves me, a prime minister who has lost power, tsk tsk, if you say it, the whole world will be stunned, right? "

Wei Yizhi covered her skirt for her, with a smile on his face like a spring breeze: "You get better sooner, it's the ability to stun those who are against you."

Xie Shu gave him a white look, sat upright and asked him: "You once said that the Wang family's calligraphy was taught by your Wei family, so can you imitate Wang Jingzhi's calligraphy?"

Wiping his hands with a handkerchief, Wei Yizhi said, "Wang Jingzhi's characters are characterized by the concise and powerful lifting of the hook and the chicness of the lowering and dragging. I have studied this before, and I can imitate it, but I don't know what you want me to write."
