Qizhou

Taifu lost the Ministry of Rites in his hands, and there are others, but this is just the beginning.

Meng Yincheng watched the former prime minister fight with the grand master for so many years, watching them fight against each other in this wave of orange clouds and treacherous halls, it was like watching the flowers and plants competing for beauty in his own garden.If the plant is too strong, some branches will be subtracted, and if the branch is not strong enough, more fertilizer will be cultivated.But no matter what, the flowers and plants in this garden cannot be higher than the steps of the imperial palace.

Qin Ge put another chicken leg into the bowl before Ci Nian struck: "Qizhou...you mean, Mr. Xu...has joined Prime Minister Fang's..."

"I don't think...not." He Qizhou remained calm, picked up his chopsticks, and put the chicken leg back into the bowl of Ci Nian.Ci Nian's eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed the chicken leg and took a bite, fearing that Qin Ge would try to snatch it from him.The chicken legs in the bowl could fly, Qin Ge was at a loss for words, so he had to pick up some cold dishes to cover up his embarrassment: "...Why not?"

He Qizhou shook his head: "Isn't it easy for Prime Minister Fang to find someone who is obedient? There are always people who know the current affairs who are willing to be heroes. But Brother Xu... is not an obedient person. It should be said that he only obeys the laws of heaven. He only recognizes the monarch and ministers. How can such a person be persuaded to submit? He can help you once to repay his kindness, but he may not be willing to violate his own principles again and again. After all, he has such a heart. After this incident, I think he is transparent A lot, not as rigid as before."

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Ge felt that what he said was not unreasonable.Xu Wenzhi is not a flatterer.He has clear principles and is not smooth in dealing with things. It is probably impossible to make him surrender in such a short period of time.

He Qizhou said again: "It's not so much that Brother Xu is on Prime Minister Fang's side, it's better to say that Prime Minister Fang put himself on Brother Xu's side. He can set up this situation, and he can accurately grasp Jiang Huanyu's temperament, and figure out who he is. Every step you have to take. The Prime Minister, I am afraid that he has already seen the emperor's dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Rites and the Taifu, and he has already observed Brother Xu thoroughly. It is not Prime Minister Fang's choice to push Brother Xu up. The prime minister understood the emperor's intentions, followed suit, and made the choice according to the emperor's wishes."

The more Qin Ge listened, the more he felt his mind was muddled. He put down his chopsticks, and after a while, he said in a dull voice, "You mean...the position of Minister of Rites was originally given to Lord Xu by the emperor... "

He Qizhou said: "Yes."

Qin Ge said again: "Then Prime Minister Fang spared so much time, spent so much effort, counting this and that, in the end it's still..."

Having said that, he was stunned for a moment, the sip of cold tea just now entered his internal organs, and his knotted thoughts suddenly became clear.

The starting point is still that starting point, and the end point is still that end point, but everything in between has quietly changed.A mediocre person like Jiang Huanyu, if not for what happened today, he would be kicked out sooner or later.They all know this, so how can the Taifu not know?In order to keep the Ministry of Rites, the Grand Tutor will definitely continue to cultivate manpower outside of Jiang Huanyu. If Jiang Huanyu killed himself that day, he can immediately fill in the vacancy, and still hold the Ministry of Rites in his hands.

But now, Jiang Huanyu is gone, and the Ministry of Rites dared not speak out after being angered, and many of the Taifu who were implicated by Jiang Huanyu dared not act. The position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites was handed over to Xu Wenzhi by the emperor himself.He said that he would never treat a good minister harshly, but because he had already treated Jiang Huanyu badly when he weighed Fujiang Huanyu's superiority, Rong Jiang Huanyu's misbehavior, making the Ministry of Rites a mess, ignoring Xu Wenzhi's cries, was another bad treatment.

When the secret letter returns to Beijing and Jiang Huanyu falls from power, which good official will the position of Minister of Rites fall into?The answer is ready to come.

Seeing that his mind was much clearer, He Qizhou added: "Prime Minister Fang doesn't need to win over Brother Xu. After Brother Xu has gone through this ordeal, he knows very well who got this humiliation from. He knows better than anyone else that Jiang Huanyu dared to do this." The reason for presumptuousness. When Brother Xu became Minister of the Ministry of Rites and was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, he would not leave with the Taifu even if he could not support himself and hopped around on one leg."

As long as you don't follow Tai Tuo, it's right.Prime Minister Fang's goal has been achieved.

The two of them had the same thoughts and raised their heads at the same time, without speaking for a long time.This Lord Fang Pingru, who has served in the Imperial Academy for many years, is a more terrifying existence than the arrogant and domineering former prime minister.But no matter what, Xu Wenzhi, who has survived the risk, has finally secured the position of Minister he should have obtained long ago, which is a good thing after all.I hope that this prime minister is a kind person who can be a king and a country, and can be a great man.

When He Qizhou was chatting with Qin Ge, Ci Nian secretly watched him from the side. Not only did he just watch, but he also took advantage of Qin Ge's inattention to put all the delicious food into He Qizhou's bowl.After the two of them finished talking, when they lowered their heads, Qin Ge realized that the mountain in Mr. He's bowl had been piled higher than the hair crown.Qin Ge looked at his own bowl, then at the remaining dishes on the table, and said sadly, "Qizhou, I'm not going to treat this meal..."

When He Qizhou saw the mountain in his bowl, he was stunned for a moment, and laughed like a flower: "I invite me, hahahaha, see what you want to eat, let Xiao Er serve it for you again, you can't be hungry Be the pillar of your country!"

Qin Ge spat: "Damn, you're just flattering me, so bring your little fox to harm me!"

As soon as he heard the news, he immediately flew up his chopsticks and put the last piece of chicken wing on the table into He Qizhou's bowl.Shot and chopsticks, as fast as the wind.Qin Ge was 1 dissatisfied, so he also grabbed the chopsticks and swept the rest of the table into his own bowl. The table was like swords and swords for a moment, and the two of them used chopsticks to kill each other.He Qizhou was beaten so hard that he walked aside dumbfounded, fearing that he would be affected by the flames of war.

As long as there is Ci Nian, there will be laughter and laughter.He doesn't care about the struggle of the times, nor the competition for fame and fortune.Whether in Sichuan or Chang'an, the sky is still the same, and the people are still the same.The world is in a hurry, and the world of mortals is full of thousands of miles. When he resigns, he only cares about the people he cares about.That's all very well.

After the meal was over, Qin Ge went back to patrol as usual. After Captain Bai was gone, the general hadn't cultivated the next capable subordinate who could take the lead for him. Before that, he could only do it honestly and by himself. up.When parting from the two, Qin Ge still had the grimace of fighting with Ci Nian for a long time, until he turned the corner of the street and could no longer see him, Ci Nian triumphantly raised his eyes at He Qizhou: "It's me Great!"

He Qizhou praised: "Yes, you are the best!"

The turmoil in the family subsided, but a new wave broke out in front of the Xu Mansion.There were too many people in the palace, and in the morning, many colleagues failed to meet Mr. Xu. After the affairs of the Ministry of Rites were handled properly, Mr. Xu left the palace early on the pretext of being unwell.

When work was over in the evening, the adults who had waited for a long time rushed to Xu's mansion one by one, just to be able to walk around more with the quasi-Emperor Minister of Rites and get close to each other.A group of colleagues scrambled to be the first to gather around the door, knocking and shouting. It took nearly a quarter of an hour before finally waiting for someone to open the door.

The door opened, and an old housekeeper popped out. He had trouble with his legs and feet and moved slowly.Several adults were impatient to wait, and when they saw the door was open, they hurriedly handed in greeting cards. The old man couldn't hold back their enthusiasm, so he hurriedly stepped back, waved his hands and said: "Not here, not here...My Master Xu is not at home, nor is he here. Tell me where he went, adults, please go back!"

"Not here?" Everyone was stunned, but although the old man had bad legs and feet, his hands were extremely fast. Taking advantage of the gap between the surprise of the adults, he quickly closed the door and slipped the lock neatly.

In Chang'an City at this moment, there is no one Xu Wenzhi wants to see at this moment.

The moonlight is dim, and the shadows of the trees are whirling.

Xu Wenzhi leaned on a green bamboo stick and pushed aside the knee-high weeds.The coachman brought the horse to the water, whistled, and picked up the brush to brush the hair of the old man while the horse was drinking.His brown hair shone slightly under the moonlight. Xu Wenzhi stepped on the melody of the coachman's mouth and turned into the silent mountain road.The lantern in his hand shimmered, Xu Wenzhi walked under the tree and sat on the flat rock.

It is deep in summer, and the magnolia is no longer blooming.But when he was sitting under the tree, he still seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance in the air.

Xu Wenzhi put down the lantern, and took out a kit from his bosom, which was very small but extraordinarily delicate.He held the brocade bag as if holding a treasure. The silk satin was white, and the lace tied at the mouth was also white. From a piece of clear white, he took out a flower that was still lustrous.There are words on the petals, which are beautiful and delicate. He held the flower in his hand and said nothing for a long time.

The moonlight shined through the shadow of the tree, and was cast on the stamen in his palm, Xu Wenzhi sighed softly, and said, "I know you are not an ordinary woman."

After a long time, he said again: "But... I don't care."

The wind moved.The sparse tree shadows swayed slightly, the wind was very light, only the corner of the petal in the scholar's hand was blown, the stamen curled slightly, and the words on the surface trembled together.Xu Wenzhi hurriedly held the flowers in his hands, and then said: "It is easy to add flowers to the icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. The flowers you gave me, every piece, every flower, I took it well. I couldn't see you when I was sick, I also understand how you dare not see me. But now I..."

"I'm now..." Xu Wenzhi chuckled, afraid that he couldn't hide the trembling in his words, "...I want to see you!"

"Fu Jin, I want to see you. When I get up from the mud, the first person I want to see is you." He repeated it again, with clearer words and a louder voice, like that idiot in the village. The boy, holding a small flower, expresses his thoughts to the girl he loves.His voice spread across the mountains and fields, and was carried back by the wind. He said loudly: "Fu Jin! I want to see you! I..."

The sound of the wind is stronger, and along with the sound of the wind, there is also the instant fragrance of flowers.Xu Wenzhi smelled the fragrance and got up quickly, but the flower in his hand was blown by the wind, like a dancing butterfly.The flower rose up in the wind and swirled in front of his eyes. He stretched out his hand to catch it, but he always missed it. Xu Wenzhi was in a hurry, lest the flower would be blown away by the wind, but the flower circled around his shoulder for a while. Finally, it floated up with the wind, passed the tip of his nose, and flashed his eyelashes. He hurriedly supported the tree, turned around, and raised his head.

In the hazy moonlight, the first person he wanted to see was sitting on a tall tree branch, his eyes were brightened by the moonlight.The dancing flower finally landed on her fingertips carefully after circling a few times.Fu Jin smiled with tears in her eyes, she gently stretched out her hand, and said, "My lord, don't come here without any problems."
