Xiao Yuanzheng rolled his eyes. He was not good at quarreling, but Zhou Man was.
He coughed lightly, touched his beard and thought about it carefully, and immediately named the three people, "That's what they said."
Man Bao glared, "There is a Ministry of Personnel, a Ministry of Husbandry, and a Ministry of Rites. I haven't offended them."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "You have offended many people, and you are an official in the officialdom. Who knows what wrong words will offend people, or what things will come out to block someone's way? So there is no need to think about who you have offended.
.”
Man Bao thought seriously, "No, the news came from Zhao Guogong's mansion, I am Chi Yu!"
It took Xiao Yuan a while to understand what she meant. Doctor Lu frowned and said, "Mr. Zhao Guogong is a good man, who is going to target him? Your Majesty and Zhao Guogong have always been close friends."
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded repeatedly.
The empress is virtuous and has always restrained the Zhao family, while the Zhao family's brother is just an ordinary dandy in the capital. He likes to spend money at most, likes to play polo, and behaves domineeringly and romantically, but he never breaks the law.
So the courtiers are very satisfied with this generation of relatives, and Zhao Guogong is not just a relative, he also follows the emperor through life and death, okay?
In the past, emperors would call everyone eldest brother.
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Who has nothing to do to tease Zhao Guogong? I think it's still your problem. Did you choke too many people at the court meeting in the past two years?"
"Impossible," Man Bao refused to take the blame, "How many times have I opened my mouth at the court meeting? My father doesn't hold a grudge that much."
"But Duke Zhao is very popular in the court, and I heard that he will be the Minister of War in the near future."
Man Bao blinked, "Isn't Li Shangshu the Minister of War? Isn't he the right one?"
"Li Shangshu is not in good health," Xiao Yuanzheng sighed, "I only went to see him last month, and it only lasted for half a year."
When Man Bao heard this, he immediately fell silent to show his sadness. I heard that Li Shangshu was very powerful and could be called the God of War in the Jin Dynasty. He was also ordered to write a military book. I heard that he is now kept in the palace, except for some meritorious generals.
, most people can’t see it.
After a moment of silence, Man Bao confirmed that this was a matter of the Zhao family, and the blame was just thrown on her. Huh, someone must have also taken a fancy to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.
There are three provinces and six departments. Not to mention the three provinces, it is the position of the prime minister. Zhongshu and Menxia are very important, but the six ministers under the minister are equally important.
There is a hole for each radish. Before the radish is pulled out, other radishes cannot squeeze in. Finally, a radish comes out. Those who are interested naturally squeeze in with force, and at the same time kick away other radishes that are interested in planting.
.
Man Bao went to write a letter to Bai Shan and asked him to find Zhao Liulang. She took the blame and was scolded for nothing at the court meeting. This matter cannot be brushed aside lightly, otherwise not everyone will be able to do it in the future.
Can you cover the pot for her?
Bai Shan received Zhou Man's letter, thought about it briefly and put it in the drawer. He took out the paper and wrote a line in reply to her, "Calm down, don't be impatient, and do your experiment with peace of mind."
Bai Shan folded the paper and put it in his purse, planning to ask Brother Wu to deliver it tomorrow.
Bai Erlang wandered over and said to him, "Feng Zongping said that we have already reserved a place in Zhuangyuan Building. We can just bring our mouth and stomach with us tomorrow."
Seeing Bai Shan writing a letter, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Shan wrote the letter and handed it to Daji, saying: "Send it to Zhao Liulang and tell him that we will treat him to a drink at home."
Then he said to Bai Erlang: "Invite Zhao Liulang to have a meal. You met Princess Mingda in the palace today. Did Princess Changyu really say that Manbao is going to be knighted?"
Because they will take the civil service exam next month, and although they have not passed the exam yet, the court stipulates that they must leave Chongwen Hall.
This is also a measure to prevent the prince from forming a party and cultivating power in the court, so those who have passed the Jinshi and Mingjing examinations must leave the Chongwen Hall before taking the official official selection examination.
Bai Erlang also applied for graduation today, but the Chongwen Hall did not agree, so he went to squat in the martial arts field with Yin or in a depressed mood. As a result, he met Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu who came to him quietly.
Princess Mingda had not seen them for a long time, so she wanted to come and see them, while Princess Changyu came here to join in the fun because she was bored.
Then Princess Changyu told Bai Erlang, "My father said that Zhou Man has made great contributions to the development of the vaccine, and he wants to make her the head of the village."
As for why the emperor told the two princesses, of course it was because he had a big mouth.
After getting up from a nap, he happened to meet two girls coming to pay their respects to the Queen. When the father and daughter were having afternoon tea, he couldn't help but talk loudly.
However, Princess Changyu also said, "I will tell you quietly before the official decree on this matter is issued, but you must not tell others."
Seeing Yin He on the side, Princess Changyu added at the end of her words, "And you, please don't tell others."
Princess Mingda: "...my father also told you this when he said this."
Sure enough, Bai Erlang couldn't hold back. As soon as he found Bai Shan, he told him quietly. Not only did he tell him to meet Mr. Zhuang before leaving the palace, he also told Mr. Zhuang.
So Liu Huan also knew...
If Bai Shan hadn't strictly asked them not to pass it on to the next person, not even to the grandparents, I'm afraid more and more people would know about it.
Bai Shandao: "Man Bao has already lost his title once, and he can't lose it again this time, so you should be careful about misfortune coming from your mouth in the past two days."
Bai Erlang said: "Don't worry, I will never tell you about Man Bao being sealed again."
Bai Shan: "It's not just this. If you hear something bad about her outside, don't say anything. Just pretend you don't know about it. Your Majesty and the ministers in the court will make their own decisions."
Bai Erlang was puzzled, "What bad things are going to be said about her outside? Isn't she a little miracle doctor? She has always been an image of treating illnesses and saving lives. Who would say bad things about her?"
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said: "She is not money, so how can she be loved by everyone? And even if it is money, there are always people who treat her like dirt."
Bai Shan took out Man Bao's letter and showed it to him.
When Bai Erlang saw it, he couldn't help but slap the table, "Okay, it's in vain that we were so nice to Zhao Liu, but his family bullied Man Bao!"
Bai Shan also nodded, but still said: "The Zhao family is the Zhao family, and Zhao Liu is Zhao Liu. He can't be the head of the Zhao family. Look at Mrs. Zhao Guogong, she is the one who makes the decision. So this is very strange.
Not as good as Zhao Liulang, but we have not suffered this grievance in vain, and we have not shouldered the blame in vain."
It's better to be still than to move at this time. He should get the title quietly first, so Manbao has to be more obedient at this time.
What if they get into a tit-for-tat quarrel with those in the court, and a minor incident becomes a big deal, and Manbao loses his title again?
Bai Shan always had a strange feeling. He felt that if they really quarreled, Manbao's title might really be gone. Not only was it gone, it would be even more difficult to get it again in the future, no matter how great her achievements were.
, the palace will no longer grant rewards easily.
Bai Shan knocked on the table, lowered his eyes, and thought to himself: So instead of arguing back, it's better to get something affordable.
