"Retreat!" Following the young emperor's command, the figure wearing a yellow dragon robe on the dragon throne jumped up first and jumped towards the back hall impatiently. A group of ministers with various identities hurriedly
He hurriedly chased after them, and soon the group of figures disappeared behind the main hall.
They were still in a hurry, and today's morning meeting was still so casual. Many of the trembling ministers at the bottom of the Golden Palace were looking at each other in pairs, and one could see complex expressions in their eyes.
The young emperor did not like to preside over state affairs. He was always absent-minded during morning meetings, and everyone gradually noticed it. Even so, no one dared to say a word. It was enough to understand that people knew it well.
Some words are fine in your heart no matter what, but once you say them out, they will make you lose your head.
What's more, the young emperor does not ignore the government affairs, he will still listen to what should be listened to, and will still issue political decrees that should be implemented. As long as they do not embarrass these ministers at work, in fact, on the other hand, the work will become easier.
A little more direct.
Thinking of this, many people quietly looked at the figure at the front of the team. He was tall and tall in white clothes. He was closing his eyes. The modest gentleman mentioned in the book seemed particularly suitable for Bai Chi at this moment. The man in white did not
He gave people strong pressure, but on the contrary, he seemed particularly calm among the crowd. At today's court meeting, the head of the Bai family at the foot of the mountain rarely spoke. Most of the time, he listened patiently.
If they hadn't known that the real person behind the young emperor was this man, many people would have been deceived by Bai Chi's appearance and mistakenly thought that he was a conscientious and considerate scholar. Thinking of this, many people secretly gritted their teeth.
The idea that the prime minister has exclusive power was not popular for a while. Some of them naturally knew why Bai Chi behaved in such a way that it had nothing to do with him at the court meeting.
It’s not that the man in white is too lazy to take care of it, but it’s that the matters at the court are not important to him at all. As long as he wants, he can instruct the young emperor to issue his own orders at any time. Bai Chi is like a ray of light covering the sky above the Golden Palace.
The shadow was deeply pressing in the hearts of every courtier in the palace. They looked at each other with red faces, but they didn't realize that everything was a child's play in vain. The key was whether he thought about it or not.
There were many people from the Bai Party in the crowd, and they were all waiting for their real leader to stand up first. Bai Chi suddenly straightened up, frightening the ill-intentioned eyes behind him and immediately disappeared. The man with long gray hair tilted his head.
He tilted his head, but he did not turn around to look for the unkind eyes behind him. Instead, he turned his head and looked past the old people in the same row to look at Yu Shuheng, who was standing on the far right.
"General Jade, I heard that small items have been broken at home recently? Are they precious?" the man said with ill intentions.
General Yu who was about to leave stopped, turned around with a smile and looked at the smiling face of the elegant man, and said haha: "It's not right, Prime Minister, why bother, but I heard that the poultry raised by the Prime Minister flew away."
Some, if you need my help to catch them, the Prime Minister can speak at any time."
Bai Chi suppressed his smile, but still said in a condescending manner: "Thank you so much, General. I'm looking forward to the general's bird-catching techniques."
"Uh huh huh!" A thick and hoarse throat clearing sounded between the two of them, and then they both lowered their heads to look at the short old man. The thin figure wearing a first-class official residence had a slightly hunched back, and the visible age on his face showed him
Much older than the two upstarts from Baidi City next to him.
The forces in the Golden Palace of Baidi City are now roughly divided into three groups, the newly rising Jade Party, the most powerful Bai Party, and finally the old party with the longest standing. It can compete with Bai Chi and Yu Shuheng.
The person who is ranked at the front of the crowd can imagine how high his status is.
Cao Huaiyi, as the chief priest of the Baidi City Academy, had actually been cared about by the young emperor for his old age, so he was pardoned and did not have to attend the morning court every time. Although there was Bai Chi instigating behind the scenes, he intended to keep the old imperial master away from the government, but
After Cao Huaiyi thanked the Lord for his kindness, he rarely participated in court meetings. Some people may think that the old man is afraid of the Bai family's sharpness, while others think that the old man really wants to retreat in order to advance. But it is irrefutable that with the launch of the Golden Palace by Mr. Cao,
At the beginning of the stage, the power of the old party was indeed defeated. Now it has declined to the point where even the rookies of the Yu Party can talk about it. It is not without frustration.
Cao Huaiyi also didn't expect that these two upstarts would now be so quarrelsome that they couldn't help but quarrel with each other in the Golden Palace. In addition, the Wenxing Lane massacre that caused a lot of noise in the city a few days ago. I heard that several Jianghu people died at the scene.
Experts. Even the old man in the back mountain academy in the northeast corner has learned about this major case in the city.
Others may have different opinions for a while, but Cao Huaiyi still has a clue about the masterminds behind the two parties. Looking at today's tense atmosphere, the old man could no longer sit still and stood up and said: "If you are really kind, you can still
I hope it would be troublesome to sort out the security in the city. The capital of the country has not been very stable recently. I heard that there are many thieves causing trouble and trying to harm the literati of our court."
This is true. Scholars raised this matter at the recent morning meeting. Many of them were witnesses at the scene in Wenxing Lane. They all begged the Holy One to send more patrol troops in the city. Many of them were concerned about people's livelihood.
, in fact, I am afraid that I will be the next to die.
Cao Huaiyi's old but still clear eyes looked at Bai Chi on the side, and said slowly: "Prime Minister Bai, you are the mainstay of our dynasty. Many civil servants respect Prime Minister Bai as their leader. Do you want to
Set an example."
Bai Chi saluted respectfully and said with a humble look: "Of course it is. What Cao Jijiu said is absolutely true."
On the other side, Cao Huaiyi just turned around and saw Yu Shuheng striding towards the outside of the palace. Seeing General Yu leave, many people in the team of officials behind him began to disperse one after another, in order to catch up.
In the morning, many people got up before dawn to prepare for mountain climbing. After the morning meeting, they were already exhausted and wished to leave early.
Cao Huaiyi looked at the disappearing figure of the tall general and just smiled. After saying hello to Bai Chi behind him, he turned and walked towards the outside of the palace. The mountain city was high and the mountain road was steep, especially for an old man like him.
in this way.
On the way down the mountain, there are people walking shoulder to shoulder on the narrow hiking trail. The scene of going down the mountain after the daily meeting can be regarded as a famous scene in Baidi City. Hundreds of officials in different shapes and costumes are like a stream pouring down.
The waterfall, along the straight white marble hiking trail, went straight down to the foot of the mountain. Soon the team dispersed and began to disperse towards the mountainside and foot. It was so lively.
Someone in the crowd behind him greeted from a distance: "General Yu, General Yu! Yu Shuheng!"
Yu Shuheng, whose tall figure stood out among the crowd, had already heard it with his ears, but he kept walking and even walked faster towards the foot of the mountain.
Soon the man behind him squeezed through the crowd and chased after him. The middle-aged man had a plain appearance and was a scholar who was not conspicuous in the crowd. But at this time, he dared to slap Yu Shuheng hard.
On the back of General Zhenguo, this bold move shocked the people around him, and they all stepped back in unison. The mountain road was blocked for a while, and many people almost lost their feet, and curses were spread everywhere.
"Ah! Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Mr. Wen!" Yu Shuheng pretended to be surprised, but kept walking as if he was in a hurry to rush down the mountain.
Wen Jiu couldn't help but roll his eyes. Before the Minister of Rites could speak angrily, Yu Shuheng took the lead and said, "What's going on, Mr. Wen? Such a rush is not like Mr. Wen's usual style."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he choked in his chest. It took him a long time to recover. Suddenly he hesitated and didn't know how to speak.
Seeing this strange behavior of the middle-aged man, Yu Shuheng couldn't help but said with fear on his face: "Master Wen, please don't act like this. It doesn't matter that I already have a family. If Master Wen spreads any strange news, it will be terrible.
It will have a bad influence on Mr. Wen who has not yet started a family and started a career!"
Wen Jiu felt a mouthful of old blood pooling in her heart, and glared at the tall General Yu. However, she soon regained her composure, regained her calm demeanor, and said in a serious voice: "Thank you for the other day.
General, no matter what, the little girl saved Mr. Wen's life. Regardless of whether the general had ulterior motives or not, I will never forget this kindness. But after that day, the little girl
She has disappeared, and even if I want to repay my kindness, there is nothing I can do. I think she is a person under your command, General, so it would be easier to find her and ask for your help."
It turned out to be a repayment of kindness, and Yu Shuheng knew it. Of course, Wen Jiu could not see that girl Guan Shanyue. The assassination of Wen Jiu was originally a spy set up by Bai Chi, with the purpose of bringing the fight between the two to the forefront. Yu Shuheng
Heng didn't know whether the damage to the Xuezuo Camp that day had hurt his bones, but he really had a toothache and couldn't sleep for several nights. So when Wen Jiu was no longer a threat, he immediately withdrew Guan Shanyue.
If the Yuchai leader, who is now the mainstay, were to fall down, Yuchai's influence on Baidi City would be severely damaged, and the impact on the overall situation would be delayed.
Yu Shuheng's face became even weirder, and even the tall figure took a step away, deliberately keeping a distance from the middle-aged man, and said in a strange tone: "Master Wen, I have to remind you that although you haven't married yet, Xiao Yue'er is.
I can be your daughter, but your taste...is insulting to the style of writing."
"Yu Shuheng!" Wen Jiu no longer cared about face, and was just about to scold this man who was talking nonsense even if he cursed regardless of his image, when Yu Shuheng grabbed him by the shoulder, already taller than him.
With General Yu's arms around her, Wen Jiu looked even more frail and petite.
"Okay, I just happen to be going to the foot of the mountain to meet Xiao Yue'er. Since you have met your sweetheart, I don't want to fight with you, so I just want to meet you once we meet!"
"Yu Shuheng!" A hysterical shout sounded from halfway up the mountain.
