The king behind the empress

Chapter 103
The length of time for cabinet deliberations is generally not fixed. If there are more major court affairs, the time for cabinet deliberations will be longer, and sometimes they may even work overtime overnight for deliberations.

And when there is nothing to do, like today, after Shi Yuhui was convicted of rebellion, the cabinet disbanded early.

After leaving the Hall of Yanying, Dong Zhongping, who was full of sorrow, began to sigh long and short. Obviously, Shi Yuhui was enough to die, but he said so much, and several families in Dingzhou had to die. This caused a lot of trouble.

Seeing Dong Zhongping like this, the others gloated in their hearts.

However, the old Chief Assistant Yang Weishang was a kind person after all, he patted Dong Zhongping's shoulder lightly, and comforted him, "It's okay, Zhongping, you have done your best."

"Thank you, Mr. Yang Ge."

Dong Zhongping forced an ugly grin, responding to Yang Weishang's comfort.

Cui Rushi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was also a kind person, but he was stupid, and after he patted Dong Zhongping on the shoulder like Yang Weishang, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Under Dong Zhongping's comment, he held back for a long time, his face turned red before he uttered two words,

"Condolences."

"?"

When Dong Zhongping looked at Cui Ru in a daze, what does mourning mean?I'm just a little worried, but what you mean is that you plan to send my whole family away?

Cui Rushi also knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly walked a few steps away from Dong Zhongping.

"Don't worry, Zhongping, Mr. Cui Ge is not very good at talking."

Wang Fucheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, also came up and patted Dong Zhongping on the shoulder, and said in a persuasive way: "What he means is, let you be more careful and don't take anything to heart."

"???"

Dong Zhongping was even more confused, why the more he said it, the more he resembled it, what if he really planned to send his whole family away here today?

Wang Fucheng also suddenly felt that he was getting darker and darker, so he quickened his pace and caught up with Cui Rushi's figure.

"No one!"

Dong Zhongping looked at Cui Rushi and Wang Fucheng with an unkind expression, if it wasn't for the fact that they were older than him in terms of seniority and official positions, he would have to slap them with a big mouth.

"Ahem, Zhongping."

As soon as Qian Min opened his mouth, Dong Zhongping stared at him vigilantly, "Old Qian Ge, what do you want to say?"

"What can I say." Qian Min said with a smile, "I just want to praise you, you are really 'wise' today."

After finishing speaking, Qian Min ignored Dong Zhongping's reaction and turned around to leave.

"Old man!"

Dong Zhongping gritted his teeth when he looked at Qian Min's back. If it was possible that Cui Rushi and Wang Fucheng made mistakes unintentionally, then the old man Qian Min definitely did it on purpose.

The Jiangnan family had always been at odds with his Gyeonggi family, and this time he was out of luck, so it's no wonder the old boy didn't come out and laugh at him.

Dong Zhongping looked at Qian Min and cursed viciously: "In the whole imperial court, your household butt is the dirtiest, just wait, Mo Zizai will come to you sooner or later, and copy all the money you have been greedy for these years! "

……

On the way back, Qian Min was in a more comfortable mood. Although these days were not very good, seeing his opponent in trouble, even adversity can improve his mood a little bit.

It's just that this good mood was broken by a piece of news told to him by his housekeeper as soon as he returned to the mansion.

"What? You said that Mo Zizai brought Zhou Qi to the house?"

"That's right, sir."

Seeing Qian Min's shocked appearance, the butler said, "I've been here for a while, I said you're going to court, sir, and he has to wait for you in the mansion."

"They have to wait, I don't dare to drive him away, I can only let them sit and drink tea in the guest room first."

"Nonsense, if you dare to drive him away, then you can wait to give my master a funeral."

Qian Min glared at the housekeeper angrily, and then comforted herself: "It's okay, just come, don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

"Yes, sir, we are not afraid of him."

The housekeeper nodded in agreement, "In order to make you look clean, master, I specially replaced the tea leaves with the kind of broken tea you used to pretend to be clean, so as to ensure that he can't find any problems with you, master."

"Crack~"

Hearing what the butler said, Qian Min slapped the butler with a big mouth, and roared loudly: "Are you stupid?"

"Who do you think he is, all the courts come to investigate corruption? Did he talk about evidence in his work?"

"My lord, I donated 1000 million taels of silver to him just now, and you pretend to be poor for me here, and you dare to make him drink high broken tea. Do you want him to kill me, you bastard?"

The butler was slapped with gold stars in his eyes, and he came back after a while, covered his face and said with grievance: "Master, I think you have donated 1000 million taels. Keep him out of trouble."

"Poor ass!"

Hearing what the housekeeper said, Qian Min's anger subsided a little, but he still said in a very bad tone: "He is in charge of Yuzhisi, master, he may know more about how much money my family has than I do."

"Still pretending to be poor, believe it or not, he instantly made my master and me really poor."

"This this……"

The butler covered his face in a daze, and stood there not knowing what to say.

"Fart, hurry up and get the tea, and bring the best Wuyi tea in the house."

Speaking of Wuyi tea, Qian Min felt a little distressed. The output of this kind of top-quality Wuyi tea is very small, and it belongs to the kind of thing that money can't buy. Even he doesn't have much, "Forget it, take out all those Wuyi teas .”

Qian Min sighed deeply, letting Mo Zizai wait for so long was fine, after all, there was a reason for it, but it was a bit unreasonable to let him drink Gao Sui for so long.

So if Mo Zizai gets into trouble later, he will use this top-quality Wuyi tea to gag his mouth. As for the gag, Qian Min sighed deeply, "Ah...let's talk about it."

After Qian Min sent the housekeeper to get tea, he quickened his pace and walked towards the guest room.

In the guest room, Mo Zizai was sitting on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand without drinking, just playing there, while Zhou Qi stood behind Mo Zizai, tall and straight like a spear.

Seeing that Qian Min finally came back, Mo Zizai raised his head to look at him, and said in a slightly hostile tone: "Yo, Mr. Qian Ge is finally back, you made me wait so long."

"I'm going to attend the early court, but I really don't know the prince is coming."

Qian Min quickly apologized, "I hope the prince will forgive me."

"Going to the morning court is a business matter, it's nothing, after all, whether the king has sent the greeting card in advance, it should wait for you for a while."

Mo Zizai was surprisingly easy to talk to, but when he changed the subject, he immediately questioned: "It's just that it's fine to wait for you, after all, it's the king who didn't notify you in advance."

"But this king is waiting for you in your mansion, so you just give this king this drink, isn't it unreasonable?"

"Gao Sui, that is, tea dregs, the price among the folks is about one tael of silver or several catties?"

"Why, is this king asking you for 1000 million taels of silver? Do you feel distressed? Or did you tell the 1000 million taels of silver that you will be out of money?"
