Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 63

The emperor talked to Wei Yizhi before, but he didn't get any definite answer, but he still wanted to break through everyone's random guesses, so he deliberately asked: "Is Mr. Xie still recovering from his illness?"

Eunuch Xiang naturally wanted to answer the words and play a show, but Lu Cheng suddenly saluted and interjected during the meeting: "Your Majesty should ask the King of Wuling who is, I heard that the prime minister is recuperating at his residence, I don't know what to do."

The rest of the ministers had dry coughs, and those who drank and drank, wishing they could be invisible.

There are already rumors outside that the King of Wuling is taking revenge on the prime minister. The poor and delicate prime minister doesn't know what he's been made into, so it's better to pretend he doesn't know.

Wei Yizhi could hear Lu Cheng's resentment.He must have seen that the matter of borrowing money was fooled, and now it is reasonable to provoke Xie Wei's relationship.

He took a sip of his wine, straightened the hem of his court clothes with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Master Lu has sharp eyes and ears, and Prime Minister Xie is indeed in the old house of Wei's family. She worked hard for the war before and got sick, and now she needs a place to rest. My lord It just so happens that there is such a place, so you can’t even give me this kind of favor?”

Lu Cheng stroked his gray beard, with a half-smile: "The Prime Minister hasn't shown up for a long time, and I don't know how this disease is cured. King Wuling won't have anything to hide from His Majesty, right?"

Xie Yun couldn't sit still anymore, but fortunately Xie Ziyuan stopped him in time.

Over there, Yang Qiao and the others also looked unhappy, thinking that when our county king was bullied by the prime minister, which one of you came out to speak for him?Now I know how to stand up for the prime minister, cut, who is afraid of whom!
If it wasn't because of their status, both sides would have quarreled with their sleeves, but they heard a loud roll call outside the hall: "The prime minister is here——"

Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look at the door.

It was still the same black court dress, the same white face and vermilion lips, the golden crown was high, the walking was leisurely, the corner of the lips was smiling, it hadn't changed for so many years.The only change is that she has become thinner and paler, and her eyes have become darker, making it difficult to figure out. When she glanced at it from a distance, Qi Qiran lowered her head, fearing that she would not be able to avoid it.

Xie Shu stopped in the middle of the hall, scanned left and right, raised his hand to his lips, and coughed lightly.

The ministers hurriedly stood up and saluted: "See the prime minister!"

"My lords, no courtesy." Xie Shu calmly saluted the emperor above.

The emperor was also a little surprised. He glanced at Wei Yizhi, raised his hand and said, "It's good that the prime minister is here, take your seat."

Xie Shu glanced at the seat, raised his chin slightly, and pursed his lips in silence.

Huan Peisheng is such a good person, he immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister has worked hard for the war so far, and it is the first contribution. Now he is present with ailments. I ask your majesty to give the prime minister the seat."

As soon as these words came out, many ministers immediately echoed, doing their best to flatter the horse.

The emperor's face was flushed, Xie Shu's seat was already second only to him, and if he wanted to take the seat, wouldn't he be sitting on the same level as him?
Xie Shu wasn't in a hurry. Judging by his expression, it would be more appropriate if he cooperated with folding his arms and tiptoing.

"Zunza..." The emperor was speechless and desolate.

Xie Shu lifted the hem of his clothes and climbed up the jade steps, Shi Shiran sat down, and then congratulated the prince, seeing Sima Ting's darkened face below, he just smiled lightly and completely ignored it.

Wei Yizhi was staring at her with a helpless expression on his face, Xie Shu winked at him quietly, beckoned to call a little maid, asked her to replace the wine in front of her with tea, and took a sip.

"Master Lu mentioned the truth when I came here just now." She looked at Lu Cheng with a smile on her face, "Master Lu seems to really hope that something will happen to the truth."

Lu Cheng has been vomiting since seeing her sitting upright, his face was livid, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "I dare not."

Xie Shu seemed to just say it casually, ignored him, and turned his head to talk to the emperor: "I'm not here for a few days. Your Majesty has worked so hard, but I don't know how the Jiangbei counties will be arranged after the war. I've been worrying about this for a few days."

The emperor was baffled by her jumping-off topic, but he still interjected: "I am planning to send someone to inspect the settlement. I don't know if Mr. Xie has any suggestions?"

"I heard that Master Lu's nephew, Lu Xining, is smart and capable, but he has never had the opportunity to display his talent. How about sending him there?"

When Wei Yi heard it, he knew that she was here to punish Lu Cheng today.Lu Xining is Lu Cheng's nephew, but she said that he has no chance to display his talents. Doesn't this mean that Lu Cheng is suppressing his nephew to prevent him from getting ahead?

Now that she's here, Lu Cheng may think that his nephew has some kind of friendship with her in private, and Lu Xining must be grateful for her kindness and complain about Lu Cheng.

He turned to look at Lu Cheng, and sure enough, his face had changed with anger.

Xie Shu didn't seem to notice it, and went to drink with others with a teacup. She drank hot tea and others poured wine, so she didn't dare to complain, and she had to toast herself.

Huan Ting was thinking about his cousin, so he got up and had a drink with her, and said a few words.It was nothing at all, but Xie Shu suddenly called him to come forward, the two of them talked intimately for a long time before ending, and then she suddenly found a fat job for Huan Ting.

Doctor Guanglu's eyes turned red, and he kept poking at Wang Jingzhi beside him: "Look, the prime minister is too obvious, he has the same attitude towards Lu Cheng, and the same attitude towards Huan Ting... This is simply a matter of course." Those who oppose me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish!"

Wang Jingzhi glanced upwards: "Your Majesty didn't even say anything, so what can we say? The battle with Qin was led by the Prime Minister behind the scenes, and King Wuling fought hard to win it. Your Majesty knows better than anyone else. Who dares to fight now?" Offend these two?"

Before leaving the banquet, Wang Luoxiu hugged the child and showed her face, then suddenly walked up to Xie Shu and asked her to give her a name.

Xie Shu hastily declined: "Your Majesty and the crown prince are here, so how can you dare to pass the truth on your behalf?"

The emperor smirked: "You don't need to be modest to thank you, this child is destined to be with you, and he didn't cry in front of your eyes."

Wang Jingzhi glanced at Wang Mu: Am I right?

Wang Mu wished he could beat his chest and stamp his feet.

After walking out of the palace, Xie Shu was already tired and walked slowly all the way.Even though there was no one around, Wei Yizhi still deliberately followed behind, but didn't step forward to help her.

Xie Shu had no choice but to stop and wait for him, but he passed her and walked straight ahead without squinting.She deliberately covered her chest and snorted, then bent down.

Wei Yizhi finally turned back with a cold face, and supported her arm with one hand: "Now I know it's uncomfortable? Didn't I tell you to rest?"

Xie Shu took the opportunity to grab his arm: "The rumors are outrageous, I have to show my face. Okay, I'll go back and continue to rest, okay?"

Wei Yizhi sighed, took her into his arms and walked towards Che Yu, not forgetting to ask her if she had taken any medicine.

"Eat, don't worry."

Mubai came to greet him with a light from the side of the car, a fast horse galloped behind him, and only when he got to the front did he realize that it was Fu Xuan.

"The king of the county, the prime minister, the spies just sent an urgent report."

Xie Shu immediately stretched out his hand to pick it up, seeing Wei Yizhi's cold eyes beside him, he withdrew his hand helplessly.

Wei Yizhi took it over and unfolded it, looked at it with the light on, eyes full of astonishment, and handed over the letter on his own initiative: "Come and see."

Xie Shu came over and quickly browsed through it, and was also surprised.

In the summer of the 30th year of Jin Yuanhe, there was great chaos in the north.Emperor Qin was wounded on the battlefield and was killed by his generals on his way home.Prime Minister An Heng disappeared, and rebellions broke out in Qin State.

After Xie Shu got up the next day, he was still a little dazed, wondering if he had read the letter wrong last night. After finding out the letter and reading it again, he was sure it was true.

During breakfast, Fu Xuan came over with some documents, saying that Wei Yizhi asked her to use her seal.

Xie Shu took a copy and looked at it. It turned out that Lu Zijue, Zhang Zhao and others who were guarding the frontier proposed to take the opportunity to invade Qin and recover the country. Wei Yizhi agreed and made arrangements.

This is indeed a good time, she didn't hesitate, and ordered Mubai to get Xiang Yin.

Fu Xuan's expression was a little complicated, she could only pretend that she didn't see it, after all Qin was his homeland.

After finishing this matter, Mubai resolutely refused to let her touch political affairs again, and justly said that Dr. Zhong ordered to take rest, even if she was idle in a daze, she couldn't work hard anymore.

Xie Shu really couldn't resist his rambunctious posture, so he obediently sat by the window and pretended to be a bonsai.

It is a noisy day in Jiankang City, even if you sit here, you can still hear the voices of people on the street in the distance, as if you can see the young man in fresh clothes passing by the angry horse, the free and easy and lovely woman who covers her lips and smiles, wanton Merry wild uninhibited individual traveler...

Nothing has changed, but Xie Shu feels that everything has changed.

Wei Yizhi was busy with military affairs, so he didn't show up for several days.However, the situation in the north was changing rapidly. I heard that An Heng was captured and beheaded, and that the one who was captured was not An Heng, but a substitute.

Soon after, Kuaima sent the latest news that Qin was destroyed.

The Jin army went all the way to the north, captured several counties, and greatly advanced the national border, but in the end they couldn't continue—the small countries that had been annexed by the Qin State on the land of the Northern Kingdom sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and quickly recovered, and the countries stood side by side. Now it's a standoff.

Wei Yizhi returned to the old house, and when Xie Shu went to see him, he had not retreated from his court clothes, and sat behind the desk wiping his spear, surprisingly quiet.

Xie Shu knew that Wei Shizhi was good at wielding a gun, so he walked over and asked in a low voice, "Did you miss your elder brother?"

Wei Yizhi gave a soft "hmm".

If Wei Shizhi saw the current situation, he didn't know what he would think.The current situation in the world is unpredictable, and it turns out that it does not change because of a little manpower.They are just sporadic ignitions in the furnace of the world. Even if they are dazzling, they are only for a moment, and they will eventually die out.

With such a sudden change in the situation in the north, the emperor was worried and happy for a while, and he couldn't afford to get sick.

Now the government is completely controlled by Xie Shu, and the military is controlled by Wei Yizhi, so that Jin only knows these two people, and almost forgets the so-called royal family.

Under the power, there must be vassals, Xie Wei's power has begun to rise like never before, especially the Xie family, the backbone is all capable characters, working extraordinarily hard at the bottom, naturally the results are extraordinary.

Xie Shu was sitting in the gazebo by the pool admiring the lotus, listening to Mubai registering the names of those family members who came to join him on his own initiative, his mood did not fluctuate unexpectedly.

She once swore in the ancestral hall that everyone would forget the Xie family with only Xie Mingguang.Today's Xie family is more powerful than before, no one remembers that she is Xie Mingguang's grandson, and no one dares to call her a traitor to her face.

She is the powerful prime minister and the hero who saved the country from danger.

Although Xie's family is very popular, Mubai still restrained his excitement, and stopped mentioning any political affairs after talking about it, and sat beside Xie Shu to peel pomegranates for her, and by the way, talked about the situation in the prime minister's mansion .

"Mr. Ran has been staying behind closed doors since the son left. The affairs of the family are handled in an orderly manner. His subordinates have seen it. It is nothing serious, so he will not report it one by one. He also asked about the son's recent situation, but the King of Wuling ordered But don't disclose any information about the young master to him, and the subordinates didn't say much."

"Yeah." Xie Shu took the pulp and put it in his mouth: "Scrutinize him closely, don't give him any freedom."

"Yes. By the way, Chu Lian also proposed to come to see you. Does the young master want him to come?"

Xie Shu shook his head: "Forget it, this is not Xie's place, how can it be so casual, let whoever comes."

Mubai was secretly happy, and he was also not happy about Chu Lian coming, that kid is so sticky, he probably wants to steal his job again.

After eating the third pomegranate, a maid walked into the pavilion and saluted Xie Shu to report that Mrs. Xiang had come.

Xie Shu immediately sat up straight, and Mrs. Xiang had already walked in. It was a hot summer day, and she was wearing a plain shirt, looking fresh and neat.

"I have seen the Prime Minister."

"Ma'am, you don't need to be too polite." I don't know if it's superfluous, but Xie Shu felt that her attitude was a bit ambiguous today, and when she saluted, she even glanced at her subtly several times.

After getting up, Mrs. Xiang took the decoction in the hands of the maid behind her, walked a few steps closer and said, "This is the body-replenishing soup I prepared for the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister should drink it while it's hot."

Mubai had already had a psychological shadow on the decoction, and before Xie Shu could speak, he took the medicine bowl and put it on the table, walked out of the pavilion with a cold face, and ordered to find Dr. Zhong.

Mrs. Xiang heard Wei Yizhi say that Xie Shu was poisoned, and said quickly: "I have good intentions, this medicine is absolutely non-toxic, Prime Minister can rest assured."

"Madam is speaking too seriously, it's just that Mubai was too nervous." Xie Shu laughed while thinking about the reason for her change of attitude, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he had to find some other topics to chat with her.

Mrs. Xiang couldn't let it go, she always glanced at her quietly when she was talking, as if she suddenly didn't know her, but it made Xie Shu's heart flutter.

Dr. Zhong walked quickly into the pavilion, saluted hastily, and in order to show Madam Xiang's face, he very modestly took the medicine bowl to the side for inspection, and when he came back, he said to her: "This prescription is extremely precious, Madam, you have bothered me, but it's just a matter of time." Young Master's most urgent task right now is to take good care of the foundation, and it is not suitable to take this medicine for the time being."

Madam Xiang's face suddenly revealed a look of disappointment, she glanced at Xie Shu, saluted and left.

Xie Shu first ordered Mubai to go back to the prime minister's mansion to fetch the few jade pieces bestowed by the emperor to thank Mrs. Xie Xiang, and then asked Dr. Zhong: "What's going on? Is there something wrong with the medicine?"

"That's not true, it's just..." Dr. Zhong looked outside the door, walked up to her and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Xiang must already know the secret of Young Master, Young Master, you should pay more attention."

"Oh? How do you know?"

"Because that medicine is tonic... tonic..."

"What to make up for?"

Doctor Zhong had no choice but to tell the truth in her ear.

Wei Yizhi came back in the middle of the night that day, and came to see Xie Shu before changing clothes.She rested her forehead in one hand and sat in the room looking at something.

He thought she was secretly busy with state affairs again, and planned to say a few words to her, but when he walked over, he saw a thick stack of pictures of beauties, and said amusedly, "What are you doing? Are you going to marry a wife behind my back?"

Xie Shu pulled him to sit down: "This is the album for the palace draft. I'll pick it out for you first. I'll choose someone with good wealth and appearance, um...you have to be well-behaved."

Wei Yizhi raised his hand to press the album, and frowned slightly: "What did you say? Choose for me?"

Xie Shu turned his head and smiled, and said casually: "I already know about my body."

"..." Wei Yizhi was speechless for a while.

"I have been with you for selfish reasons. I am really reluctant to hand you over to others, but at most I can only be by your side. You need an heir. You should marry a wife and a concubine. I will never Will mind."

"But I care about it." Wei Yi's face was displeased: "I poured down your bowl of medicine. Even if you can't have children, it's my fault. You are magnanimous, and you are kind enough to choose a wife and concubine for me!"

Xie Shu was a little helpless: "Zhongqing, that's not what you told Mrs. Xiang, did you? No wonder her attitude towards me changed so quickly."

"This is the truth."

Wei Yizhi rolled up the album and was about to throw it out of the window when he got up. Xie Shu hurriedly grabbed his sleeve to snatch it, but he hugged him backhanded.

"It seems that you are very energetic." He picked her up by the waist, walked around the screen and walked to the bed.

"Hey, you..." The following words stopped abruptly, and Wei Yizhi blocked her lips.

The clothes on Xie Shu's body were stripped off, and he said in a deep voice, "I just indulged you too much!" He held her waist and leaned towards him, "Do you really think I have no demands on you? Actually I just want you to put on women's clothes now, and just stay by my side all day long! No offspring is nothing, you will be with me whether you live or die!"

Xie Shu hugged his back and couldn't speak, even his heart was ups and downs, ups and downs.

Wei Yizhi's anger receded quietly again, and his hand caressed gently, as gentle as drizzle.But being too gentle is also a kind of torture, Xie Shu's voice was like sobbing, and it turned into spring water in his arms.

But he seemed to do it on purpose, his hands were hot, and he kneaded her into various shapes.The more Xie Shu endured, the more he wanted to provoke him, bullying him, attacking the city and plundering the land, but he was not in a hurry, clasped her hands, and was extremely patient...

In the middle of the night, Xie Shu, who had been sleeping deeply, was awakened by the sound of thunder outside.She put on her clothes and got out of bed, lit the candle, and picked up the album on the floor.

Pushing open the window, it was already raining outside, she leaned against the window and threw the album out by herself.

Wei Yizhi also woke up, with his cloak loose, walked over and hugged her from behind: "It was I who said things seriously earlier, don't worry about it. You have suffered all these years to achieve your current status and achievements, but I want If you give up, you have become a superficial person like those who look down on women outside, in fact, I just hope that you can take care of your body with peace of mind."
