The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 481 Failure
Zhao Defang's refusal to be the prime minister is actually very easy to understand.

As we all know, Zhao Guangyi has always been afraid of the late emperor's son. Although there is a reason for suddenly promoting Zhao Defang, who can be sure if this is Zhao Guangyi's conspiracy?

I want to promote Zhao Defang first, and then find an opportunity to get rid of him.

Zhao Defang has no intention of fighting for the throne at this time, but he doesn't want to die yet, he wants to live well.

Seeing that Zhao Defang refused to accept the position of prime minister, Zhao Guangyi was a little surprised, but soon understood Zhao Defang's intentions, so he smiled and said: "Defang, you are a capable person, I trust you very much, I think you can help me Govern the Great Song Dynasty well, and don't refuse the post of Prime Minister."

Zhao Defang said hastily: "My Majesty's kindness, but I really don't have enough ability, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on this important task..."

One of the two insisted on taking the position, but the other kept refusing. A funny scene appeared in the hall, and the officials stood in the hall, not knowing what to do for a while.

At this time, Zhao Guangyi also felt helpless. If there was no Liu Wei to help Xia He, he felt that Liu Wei was the most suitable. He said that he didn't have to think about his age. Some questioned and were a little angry.

It was his order to whip Xia He's corpse, and it was also his order to throw the corpse to Luanfenggang to feed the wild dogs, but Liu Wei dared not obey it, and even sent someone to bury the corpse, which made him feel that Liu Wei had never given up He, the emperor, took it to heart.

Because of doubts and anger, he thought about asking Zhao Defang to be the prime minister.

Speaking of which, Zhao Guangyi didn't completely trust Zhao Defang, but the reason why the palace was not breached this time played a big role in turning the situation around. He should reward Zhao Defang for both public and private matters.

It's just that now Zhao Defang refuses to accept the position of prime minister, which baffles Zhao Guangyi. Could it be that the position of prime minister is really Liu Wei?
Thinking of this, he decided to test Liu Wei.

"Liu Aiqing, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

For a long time, Liu Wei behaved indifferently in the hall, as if he didn't care about the position of prime minister at all. Now that he heard Zhao Guangyi's words, Liu Wei stood up and said: "Hui Sheng said, Zhao Defang does have The prime minister's talent, I think it's not as good as this, Zhao Defang will hold the post of prime minister for the time being, if Zhao Defang is confirmed to have this ability, he can continue to be re-elected, if something happens during the period, it's not too late to change."

Seeing that Liu Wei did not fight for his own interests, Zhao Guangyi felt relieved, and then said to Zhao Defang: "Just do what Liu Wei said, and you should sit in the position of prime minister first."

Zhao Defang saw that Zhao Guangyi was determined to become the prime minister herself, although she was surprised, it was very difficult to change now, so she had no choice but to accept the order.

After discussing this matter in this way, everyone discussed some other matters, and finally retreated towards noon.

After leaving the palace, Liu Wei went directly to the academy.

When I saw Qiushuang, Qiushuang was sitting quietly by the pool in unlined clothes, the willow silk was fluttering in the wind, but her hair was not as beautiful as her. The sitting Qiushuang gave people an indescribable charm.

Qiushuang turned her head when she heard the footsteps, and when she saw Liu Wei, a joyful expression appeared on her face: "Just went to court?"

Liu Wei nodded, and sat down beside Qiu Shuang, and just as he sat down, Qiu Shuang leaned her head on his shoulder.

"What's the matter this morning?"

"Yes, the emperor wants to choose a prime minister."

Qiu Shuang showed a slight smile, and said: "Now in the entire court, who is more capable than you, and who is more successful than you, except for those generals who destroy the country, I think you must be the prime minister."

Liu Wei reached out and stroked Qiushuang's beautiful hair, then shook her head: "No, Zhao Defang became the prime minister."

Hearing this news, Qiushuang's expression darkened immediately. Although Liu Wei's status is already very high, there is no end to power. Who doesn't want their man to stand at the top?

"Is... is it because you went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to speak for Xia He?" Qiu Shuang is not stupid, so she naturally understands that Zhao Guangyi cannot be fooled by many things, but thinking about it is not a big deal, even if Zhao Guangyi knows What about Liu Wei, I never thought that because of this, Liu Wei would lose his position as prime minister.

Liu Wei saw that Qiushuang was blaming herself, so she couldn't help but put her in her arms, and said, "Of course it's not because of this, because of the great achievements, Zhao Guangyi will naturally be afraid of me. The more he will not let me hold a high position, it has nothing to do with speaking for Xia He."

Qiu Shuang nestled in Liu Wei's arms. She was a smart woman, so she naturally understood that what Liu Wei said was just to comfort her.

The wind blew a little bit of coolness, and the lotus flowers in the pond had already shown their heads. The two of them cuddled together like this for an unknown amount of time, and Liu Wei suddenly said that he was hungry.

Qiu Shuang sat up from Liu Wei's arms: "I'm going to cook for you right now."

"No, let the servants do it, I have something to tell you."

Qiu Shuang nodded meekly, and followed Liu Wei to her bedroom.

A few bamboos were planted in front of the bedroom door, making the room quite shady and cool. After the two entered the bedroom, Qiushuang's posture became charming, which made Liu Wei look hot all over, but he was not in a hurry to ask for Qiushuang. Just asked: "Has the investigation of the massacre in Huayang Village been clear?"

Qiu Shuang shook her head: "Not yet, we found a survivor from Huayang Village, he was only six or seven years old, but he saw everything in his eyes that night, now his mood is not very stable, ask He refuses to say anything, so we can't ask any clues from him for the time being, but I think after a while, after his mood stabilizes, we can ask some clues from him."

Hearing that there was still a survivor in Huayang Village, Liu Wei was overjoyed, and said, "That's right, from this kid's mouth, we might be able to know the truth about the massacre of Huayang Village, but if you can find him, the murderer and the court will surely know too." He exists, so we must do everything we can to protect him, and get what we want to know from him as soon as possible, otherwise the murderer will hide deeply after a long time."

Qiu Shuang nodded: "Don't worry, I have arranged everything. When there is news, I will notify you immediately."

As she said that, Qiushuang had already taken off her shirt. In the scorching summer, there were still a few drops of sweat on her snow-white skin, and the willow smell that was within reach could not help but pounce on it.

"You are really attractive, but today I want to play something different."

"It's all up to you..." Qiushuang couldn't help moaning as she said.

"Okay, little beauty, turn around, today I'm going in from the back..."

In the hot summer, the ancient tune is quiet, which is a good time for romance. Even the cicadas outside the window have an inspiring effect.
