Lie Shangshu sat in the reception room, patted his forehead, and muttered.
"Before, we had a lot of quarrel over the matter of King Jin and King Bai Qiguan. Today, the emperor suddenly changed the topic. What does this mean? Why didn't I understand anything today?"
His old friend, Lord Lubo Anlu, Minister of Labor, was sitting on the other side, playing with a delicate mechanism in his hand, without raising his head.
"It's right if you don't understand. Anyway, the emperor is talking in secret today, so it's good if you don't understand."
"The emperor's words are getting higher and higher. I can hear the clouds and mountains all day long. Oh, what do you mean by the emperor's admission of students? I feel a little itchy. I don't even care about accepting a successor. When it comes to students, I really want one. Especially the Ming Fei, who has a strong physique, I think it is a piece of material that can be built. Otherwise, I care about the emperor. come over?"
Lu Shangshu still didn't look up: "You'd better not get involved in this matter."
Lie Shangshu's bull's eyes slammed: "Ah? How are you going to snatch with me? Mingfei is stupid to look at people, and it's useless if you want to go."
"You don't get involved, and I don't get involved. Let a few other people participate in this matter." Lu Shangshu was not idle, and said indifferently: "The white king and the seven crowns have always been stuck in the emperor's throat. A piece of bone. Whether it is the main battle or the peace, the emperor does not want the White King Seven Crown to continue to be so presumptuous."
Lie Shangshu was confused by what he said. He was talking about accepting students just now, how could it be related to the White King Seven Crowns again.
Lu Shangshu said: "This is actually very obvious. The king of Sansi Yamen is the guardian of the emperor to protect the royal family. The unicorn protects the country and Anbang, and strikes against foreigners. But to deal with the seven crowns of the white king, the most suitable one is to replace the sky. The famous six doors of the road."
Halfway through, the conversation changed: "Lao Lie, how long do you need to prepare for the White King's Seven Crowns."
Lie Shangshu stroked his beard and said, "Ten months of preparation, fourteen months of military training, and one and a half years for my old lie. Even the white king and seven crowns will have to be planted."
"The White King and the Seven Crowns surround the capital. Let you prepare with such great fanfare for a year and a half, what kind of battle is there?"
Lu Shangshu just looked up at this time: "Only starting from the rivers and lakes and gradually collecting evidence against them can they gradually disintegrate their strength. This is why the emperor wants to focus on training and use the six doors."
"Then why don't we participate? I see that Mingfei and so on... "
"If we get involved, we really let them start from the rivers and lakes, and we have to wait until the year of the monkey and the horse month before we can declare war. The emperor is a long-term plan, and it won't take ten years to implement it. What good will it be for us to join in?"
Lu Shangshu said calmly: "It's okay to let the Prime Minister mix up today, let's find a time to take leave, it's best not to get involved."
Lie Shangshu nodded his head, but he didn't know how much he understood. Although these two are the main fighting faction in the DPRK, but Lie Shangshu is careless and careless, and his mind is far less refined than Lu Shangshu. Therefore, Lu Shangshu can be said to be the think tank of the main battle faction.
Having said that, there was also a summons from outside.
"The imperial decree has arrived! The Ministry of War is Lie Shangshu, and the Ministry of Industry Lu Shangshu accepts the decree!"
Old Prime Minister Li Si tasted a cup of Longjing tea lightly, holding a white clear seashell stone chess piece in his hand, after thinking for a long time, he just dropped a piece.
The old man was playing chess very comfortably, and beside him sat a beautiful woman in her forties, with picturesque features and a mature figure. Every move and every move has an intoxicating charm. But between the eyebrows, there is a sense of awe-inspiring righteousness, teaching people to look at such a beautiful face but not be able to despise it.
It was too late for the others to curry favor with the old prime minister, but she was the only one who didn't feel good about it.
"It's really annoying to ask you not to say anything. Tell me, what did the emperor ask you to do in the palace today?"
This beautiful woman is the wife of the Prime Minister's family. Not only does Mrs. Li look young, she is also thirty years younger than the old Prime Minister. The old prime minister's wife died young, and another twenty years ago was added.
But don't look at old husbands and young wives, but they are really loving.
Besides Mrs. Li, the old prime minister never married again, and the old prime minister was over fifty when he got married, but now his youngest son is only nine years old, which shows that the old man's mental state is still very good.
Mrs. Li pushed her husband's arm and said dissatisfiedly: "The emperor called you several ministers together at once, did something major happen? It doesn't affect you. Could it be that you play tricks on the emperor and punish you? Bar?"
Although she is an elder of the three dynasties, can she still not know the temper of her husband? This old man likes to make fun of people, and from time to time he makes fun of the emperor. This made Mrs. Li quite worried about the old prime minister's career. Therefore, every time her husband returned to court, she had to ask him to explain clearly whether he did anything out of the ordinary today.
Lord Li Si smiled and played the chess notation for himself. After a while, he said: "Madam, don't worry, don't be afraid. You are the elder of the three dynasties, how to talk and do things in the court, and your heart is like a mirror. The emperor didn't say anything. The other thing is to let us do something that is not very reliable."
Mrs. Li hurriedly approached two points: "What's the matter? What's the matter? Can you make a contribution?"
"Madam, you are a layman now. What is meritorious service? Your husband has been an official for a lifetime. What merit did you rely on to get to this man today? The greater the merit, the greater the trouble, and the The more unreliable.”
"Master! You are so out of touch! Can meritorious deeds be a bad thing?"
"Bad things are bad things, of course they are bad things. If you make a merit, you can still have good things in your early career? It's so easy to do nothing." Press the back for my husband. In this winter, my back is always uncomfortable."
Mrs. Li responded and massaged the Prime Minister. While pressing, he said again: "The emperor's affairs, don't always take it to your heart. Although you are a very high-ranking official, I can see that Zhang Chunfeng of the Ministry of Personnel and Lu Boan of the Ministry of Engineering are not one that saves fuel. Deng, I want to replace you. If you don’t do anything all day, you know that you go to Baxianju for dinner and Dongpo Tower to drink, so it’s time to do something serious.”
The old prime minister smiled and said, "Madam's eyesight. You can see that too."
Mrs. Li's face showed a bit of pride, and the little hand that massaged also put a little more effort: "Hi! It's nothing. I've been following you in and out all day long, and my eyesight has improved."
The old prime minister laughed. With this lady to accompany him, he really does not feel lonely in old age.
After a while, the old prime minister got up and said.
"Madam, go out for a while for my husband. If anyone comes looking for him, tell him that the old man is not at home."
After speaking, the old prime minister put his hands behind his back, slung a small bag, and walked out of the house with a smile, but Mrs. Li jumped angrily behind her back.
"Hey! I just finished talking about you! Run away again, you old man!"
The eunuch in the palace came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the imperial edict, which happened to be half an hour later. At that time, the old prime minister was already in the Eight Immortals.
Chapter 8: Three Points and Six Fans
"Li... Mr. Li?"
When I saw a young man beside the prime minister with a cold look in his eyes, I managed to hold back the word prime minister.
When Prime Minister Li saw me, he was first surprised, then smiled. When I was in Tianxiangyuan, I once cooperated with the old prime minister, and I cheated on the big jar of gold. There is a friendship, so even though we are far from each other, the old prince seems to have a good impression on me.
Today, the old prime minister walked lightly, with only one entourage by his side. This entourage was about twenty-five or six years old. Although he was dressed as the servant of a boy in Tsing Yi, he had a fierce look on his face. Especially when he glared at me just now, showing his martial character. This person not only knows martial arts, but also quite good. The prime minister's subordinates really have a few capable people.
The old prime minister smiled and said, "It turned out to be younger brother Ming. It's better to meet by chance. How about coming to the old man to sit here?"
I blinked, laughed, pulled out the stool and sat down. Try to pretend that the person who scolded his old man just now is not me...
"It really is a place where we never meet in life. I used to think that the old man is the pillar of the country. It's been a blessing for three lives to meet him once. I didn't expect to see your old man here too."
Seemingly displeased by my rudeness, the Prime Minister's entourage glared at me.
"Yanbei, you don't have to. Brother Ming is my friend."
The old prime minister waved his hand and stroked his beard and said, "Hey, are you stealing your life for half a day? How many things do you do in life? You always have to rest before you have the strength."
"Extremely so."
I waved at the second junior brother behind me, motioning to go back in a while. He looked puzzled. He had also met Prime Minister Li, so he didn't understand why I was so close to the Prime Minister.
Using the sound transmission to enter the secret, he asked: "Big boss, do you want to single out this old man?" We Daluoshan have not yet come to rebel. If you want to beat this old man, tell me first, and I'll pack up. When I came to Nanjing this time, I bought a lot of local specialties, so I had to pack them!
I glanced back: shut up, this is about the righteous path of heaven and earth, what do you know!
The old prime minister didn't notice our eye contact, and just smiled: "When you sit down, you are a guest. This old man's treat, don't be restrained. You can call whatever you like."
"It's better to obey your life if such a villain is respectful."
