Kong Changhui had been waiting to come forward to congratulate him for a long time, so he stayed in the palace and never left. At this moment, he saw Cui Xuhong leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then he stepped forward to congratulate Xie Jiming: "In the future, I will ask Shangshu Jie to support me more." ”
Xie Jiming frowned and looked solemn: "We belong to different departments, how can we support you? Could it be that you want to come to the Ministry of Etiquette and be a minister?"
Kong Changhui was startled when he heard this, and suddenly recalled the words Xia Chu left yesterday when he left, saying that he would no longer be in the Ministry of Justice soon.
Could it be...
Xia Chutui understood that Ji Ming had taken the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Is it true that as Xie Jiming said, he was going to transfer himself to the Ministry of Rites as a minister
When Kong Changhui thought of this, he was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly. He admired Xie Ji Ming very much, but if he were to serve as an errand under Xie Ji Ming, his scalp would go numb just thinking about it: "This official is just a joke. Mr. Jie, don't take it seriously. Don't take it seriously. "
"Don't take it seriously?" Xiao Zimu and Xiao Mubai also walked up together, and Taifu Wu also came this way.
Xie Ji Ming thanked Wu Taifu one by one and spoke words of gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
When Kong Changhui saw Xiao Mubai, he thought that since His Highness Prince Mo had such a good relationship with the young master, it would be better to cheat with him first.
Kong Changhui tugged on Xiao Mubai's sleeve. Xiao Mubai glanced at him and turned his head slightly when he saw a mysterious look on his face.
Kong Changhui whispered in his ear: "Your Highness King Mo, I don't want to be transferred to the Ministry of Rites as a minister..."
Xiao Mubai frowned and turned away, then laughed: "Did Mr. Jie tell you?"
Kong Changhui glanced at Xie Ji Ming, grinned awkwardly, rubbed his hands and coughed lightly: "The official guessed it."
Xiao Mubai was amused by his awkward behavior, and he frowned and joked at him: "Don't think about those messy things, put your heart back in your stomach, and just do your own errands."
Kong Changhui breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly in response.
When Xiao Zimu saw that Taifu Wu and Xie Ji Ming had finished speaking, he congratulated Xie Jiming.
After listening to Xiao Zimu's congratulations, Xiao Mubai said seriously to Xie Jiming: "If I hadn't held His Majesty the Seventh Highness down, he would have rushed out for you many times today."
Xie Jiming's face showed emotion when he heard this, and he bowed respectfully: "How dare you let His Highness the Seventh Lord offend the public for the sake of a minor minister."
Xiao Zimu quickly stretched out his hand to help him, with a complicated look on his face: "I don't have the position to speak today. It's thanks to my second brother that he stopped me, otherwise it might have been a waste of help."
Xiao Zimu looked at Xiao Mubai and gave him a knowing look, knowing in his heart that he specifically mentioned this matter to keep Xie Jiming in mind.
After Xiao Zimu experienced today's morning court, he only knew that they talked about the political situation of the imperial court that night by the moat embankment, although they talked passionately.
But when it is implemented seriously, one has to carefully plan the layout, and not even a step is missed.
If it hadn't been for Xiao Mubai's last words just now, perhaps the post of Minister of Rites would have been put on hold and left to the ministers for discussion. The final candidate might not be Jie Jiming anymore.
And once Xie Jiming misses this position, the subsequent layout will also be disrupted. It can be said that the whole game will be lost with one careless move.
Xiao Zimu sighed in his heart, Xiao Mubai was only three years older than him, he also grew up in a deep palace, and he was also a prince. What had he experienced in Yucheng over the years, and why could he become so thoughtful
Xiao Zimu naturally didn't know what Xiao Mubai went through in Yucheng. He didn't even know what Xiao Mubai went through in the palace.
His childhood was much happier than Xiao Mubai's. Before entering the Imperial Academy, he was often taken by Lord Ju to play in Ju's mansion. After entering the Imperial Academy, because the emperor was focused on teaching Xiao Mubai, he didn't pay much attention to the other princes.
Xiao Zimu entered the Imperial Academy together with other princes. He has been friendly to others since he was a child, has a gentle smile, and is very popular. In addition to the prince, he is also liked by all the teachers and students who are accompanying him, including the son of a minister.
He had never enjoyed Xiao Mubai's unique favor from the emperor, so he had never experienced the feeling of being grouped together and isolated.
When Xiao Zimu was young, he was actually afraid of Taifu Wu for a long time. As the emperor's imperial master, Taifu Wu naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of teaching these princes.
He had been fond of painting since he was a child, but Taifu Wu valued literature and often criticized him for being greedy for painting, not memorizing history, and lacking in literary talent.
On the contrary, he had a strong preference for Xiao Yanjun, who had been outstanding in literary talent since childhood. He even praised him in public once, saying that His Highness the Fourth Prince would probably become the person with the best literary talent in the Xiao Kingdom.
Therefore, it really surprised Xiao Zimu that Wu Taifu could speak in public and confront Xiao Yanjun in the morning court today.
It was really inconvenient to have so many people at the moment. He was waiting for an opportunity to ask Xiao Mubai in private.
Xiao Mubai was given a grateful look by Xiao Zimu, and he nodded slightly to indicate that he didn't have to take it to heart. He turned to Taifu Wu and Xie Ji Ming and said, "Two adults, let's go out first. We've been here for so long this morning. You two not hungry?"
Xie Jiming and Wu Taifu looked at each other, not saying anything but not feeling it. They suddenly felt hungry in their stomachs.
"We should be the host to express our gratitude for today." Xie Jiming invited the three of them.
"It's really troublesome to go to the palace committee. Taifu Wu may have to go to the Imperial Palace to inspect later. How about we go to my palace and have some food together?" Xiao Zimu suggested. They are all in the palace now. Xiao Mubai came out at the age of thirteen. Now that the palace has been established, it is most appropriate for him to speak.
"That's fine, then I'll bother my seventh brother." Xiao Mubai responded directly without any greetings.
Taifu Wu thought for a while and then said to Xie Jiming: "Then let's go to His Majesty the Seventh Prince."
Xie Jiming seemed a little hesitant. After all, he had just been appointed as the Minister of Rites, and he was going to have a meal in the prince's palace. Would it be true
Xiao Zimu had an insight into his thoughts: "No need to worry, Mr. Jie, Prime Minister Ju has already gone to Yaohua Palace before me, and will go to Yongning Palace later. You two can also have a meal while handing over, father. I’ll think too much about it.”
Seeing that he had already talked about this, Xie Jiming had no choice but to bow and bow again: "I am disrespectful, but I will definitely treat you to this meal in the future."
The three of them smiled and agreed. Kong Changhui stepped forward at the right time and glanced at Xiao Zimu with a shy expression: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Highness, I am also hungry now."
Xiao Zimu joked at him: "If Mr. Jie doesn't go to the Ministry of Works, he will be promoted to a higher position. Today, he will be handed over. You don't have to go to the Ministry of Punishment to be on duty?"
Kong Changhui laughed awkwardly: "Here, there is peace in the capital. The Ministry of Punishment has nothing to do recently, so there is no shortage of time for this meal."
Xiao Zimu smiled and raised his eyebrows: "You are very oily now..."
