‘This is not a grand ceremony for the imperial court.’ To put it bluntly, this is not something worth advocating...
Fu Bi looked at Han Qi in disbelief. Han Qi touched his nose and said with a smile: "Brother Yan Guo, don't take it seriously, I'm just joking. It is natural that the court will decide whether to seize love or not. It is not up to us to have the final say.
"
"Yes..." Fu Bi nodded with difficulty. He didn't hear a word of what Han Qi said later. The words "This is not a grand ceremony of the imperial court" lingered in his mind!
The rich prime minister thought that he had been honest and self-sufficient throughout his life, with a clear conscience, and would not leave any stain on the history of history. But Han Qi's words were like a thorn, piercing deeply into his heart. Thinking about it makes him feel sad -
-If he accepted the love, wouldn't he become a fan of officials? How could he become a teacher of hundreds of officials and go down in history?
Early the next morning, with such a heavy psychological burden, Mr. Fu returned to Luoyang Dingyou.
In Bianjing City, the deputy prime minister Han Qi was naturally in charge of government affairs. However, everyone from top to bottom believed that Fu Bi would come back and continue to be his prime minister after going back to grieve for a while, so Han Qi still served as the bachelor of Zhaoguan, and as for Jixian
The seat of Grand Master of the Guan Hall is temporarily vacant.
Although Han Qi was still on duty as before, the power of the Song Dynasty gradually tilted towards him.
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister, congratulations to the Prime Minister." Although Wu Kui is the deputy envoy to the Privy Council, he goes to the political hall all day long, really hoping to flatter Han Qi and be transferred from the West Mansion to the East Mansion. No, Han Qi's temporary signature
As soon as the decree came out, he ran over to congratulate: "Finally, I have the seal of the Song Dynasty!"
The reason why Prime Minister Jixian is the Prime Minister is because he has the "Book of Provincial Seal" in his hand, while Prime Minister Zhao has nothing, so he takes the second place.
Han Qi took a look at the sandalwood box on the table and thought of the seal that represented the administrative power of the Song Dynasty. He lay quietly in it and couldn't help but feel excited. But on his face he said calmly: "It's just a seal for a few days.
So happy..."
When Wu Kui saw that the flattery was slapped on his hooves, he still smiled and said without discouragement: "At least it will take two or three months. Such a long time is enough for my husband to do a lot of things."
"That's all you have to do?" Unexpectedly, after hearing this for two or three months, Han Qi immediately darkened his face and said, "Since this big seal is in my hands, there is no reason to hand it over!"
This was not the first time Wu Kui heard Han Qi say this, but he really couldn't figure out how to prevent Fu Bi from resurrecting. He couldn't help but wonder: "Does your husband have any clever tricks?"
"It won't work if you say it." How could Han Qi tell him that he was acting like a hooligan with the rich husband again? But a gentleman can deceive, and if he knows this, he won't cheat if he doesn't cheat.
"Then I'll wait for the good news." Wu Kui smiled knowingly and said: "By the way, Your Majesty asked me to congratulate the Prime Minister, and by the way, how is the progress of the case? Although Your Majesty has a clear conscience, he is always worried.
.”
"What progress can be made?" Han Qi said lightly: "It's just a word."
"Procrastination?" Wu Kui is also a veteran who has been involved in officialdom for many years. He naturally knows the secret of handling difficult affairs... It is the word "procrastination" that drags on the first day of the new year and drags on the fifteenth, dragging this year until next year. Such a big country.
, there will definitely be new incidents that will break out and divert people's attention. Once people turn their eyes away, and then deal with the matter in a low-key manner, the major issue will be reduced to a trivial matter, and the world will be fine.
"My husband has a brilliant move!" Wu Kui quickly flattered him.
"What a brilliant move," Han Qi spat, "Don't let me wipe your ass from now on!"
"Yes." Wu Kui, the Khan, pretended not to hear the last sentence and said: "Also, I heard that Zhao Zongji and Sun Miao have led their troops to leave Guangxi. The prince said that he does not want to see him in the capital."
"This is easy to handle." Han Qi didn't want Zhao Zongji to hang around in front of the officials, so he picked up an urgent report: "The report came from Jiangnan West Road that there was a Qianzhou salt thief Dai Xiaoba who killed Qianhua County Magistrate and rebelled...
"
"What do you mean, sir?" Wu Kui immediately understood: "Are you ordering them to suppress this rebellion when they pass through Jiangxi?"
"A few thieves are not worthy of the imperial court's big fight, so let's let His Highness the Fifth Prince take the trouble for a while." Han Qi said with a smile: "Anyway, I won't delay my return for the New Year."
"Yes, yes." Wu Kui agreed casually, while secretly shouting: 'Black, it's so dark! The heart is black and the hands are black!'
Although Wu Kui was able to sneak into the camp, he, as a deputy privy envoy, was not a jobber and knew quite a lot about the affairs of Qianzhou... First of all, Dai Xiaoba was a powerful and wealthy salt lord with great charisma and had already occupied the territory.
The two counties of Qianhua and Ruijin have tens of thousands of people under their command. Furthermore, Qianzhou is located in a mountainous area, with vast mountains and boundless mountains. As long as the people wearing Xiaoba hide in the mountains, the government will be unable to wipe them out. Thirdly, Qianzhou has long been
There are thieves causing trouble, including Liu Youfal, Shi Menluo and others. Once Dai Xiaoba joins forces with them, the momentum will be even greater.
To sum up... Han Qi clearly dug a big hole, and Zhao Zongji had to jump into it. His prospects in Qianzhou are really hard to be optimistic about.
Only then did Wu Kui realize that without the pressure of Mr. Fu, Mr. Han was so tyrannical. In front of him, no enemy would have any chance of winning!
After being stunned for a long time, Wu Kui really couldn't think of any other words of praise, so he had to continue: "The prince also said that if possible, Chen Ke should also be driven out of the capital..."
"No." Han Qi refused without thinking: "Both Zhao Zongji and Chen Ke have left the capital, and the official family will not be able to sleep well. The prince can only choose one."
"Then...it's Zhao Zongji." Wu Kui said helplessly: "A bird cannot fly without a head. No matter how good Chen Ke is, he can't be the leader."
"Finally, I have to say something humane." Han Qi gave him a look.
Wu Kui is so depressed. I keep talking nonsense about my relationship?
"If you have nothing else to do, let's go." Han Qi chased away the guests and said, "Also, don't come here all the time if you have nothing to do. People who don't know may think that I, the minister of the East Palace, have reached out to the West Palace.
"
"Then my husband can transfer me to Dongfu." Wu Kui said very well, "so that I can serve my husband in the future."
"Hmm..." Han Qi thought about it. Now there are two political advisors in Dongfu. Wang Gui is mute, so don't worry about him. But Ouyang Xiu... this former friend of the same age, his popularity and reputation are not inferior to his own, and he is also a mute.
In recent years, political views have become increasingly conflicting, and keeping him on the books is undoubtedly a constraint.
If Ouyang Xiu can be replaced by Wu Kui, and one of the two deputies is mute and the other is smooth, Shu Province will be ruled by Han.
However, after all, they had been in love for many years, and Han Qi did not want to attack Ouyang Xiu unless it was absolutely necessary. Besides, if he offended the leader of the altar, he would be scolded as a pig.
"If you have the ability, squeeze out a political candidate." Looking at Wu Kui's eager eyes, Han Qi said like a joke: "I won't help you."
How could Wu Kui not hear what Han Xianggong meant? He was overjoyed and said: "I understand!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Ke Mansion.
"Alas, could it be that Zhao Zongshi is really his destiny?" Even the proudest Wang Yu said in frustration: "I was about to pull him down, but I let him avoid it. From now on, our lives will be like this.
It’s a hard time…”
"Don't be impatient..." Chen Ke also kept smiling bitterly in his heart: 'God, I don't want to be so playful!'
In fact, he had already learned from Luoyang that Fu Bi's mother was seriously ill and was on her deathbed. Chen Ke had been waiting for the old lady to pass away all summer. Who knew that after waiting and waiting, Ergu first arrived?
The river burst its embankment, and it seemed that it was finally possible to extricate myself, hoping to turn things around in one fell swoop. But the damn old lady died at this juncture.
Now that Fu Bi is gone and Han Qi has taken over all the power, he will definitely turn his hand into clouds and rain, turning things upside down...
Not to mention Wang Yu, even Chen Ke was secretly frightened. Could it be that Zhao Zongshi was really the master of destiny, so he was protected by ghosts and gods everywhere?
However, he did not believe in this evil, so he quickly calmed down and comforted Wang Yu: "A blessing in disguise is not a blessing; a blessing in disguise is a blessing, how can you know that it is not a disaster?"
"What do you mean?" Wang Yu's eyes lit up, but he couldn't grasp the point, so he had to ask.
"It's just to see who can have the last laugh!" Chen Ke said in a serious tone.
"I hope Mr. Fu will come back as soon as possible." Wang Yu also knew that no matter how good Chen Ke was, he was beyond his control. If he said too much, it would be difficult for others. He sighed and said: "I hope this period of time will not be too difficult."
As a result, things backfired. These days of bleak autumn wind were really unbearable...
First, Yushi Cheng Tangjie requested a speedy settlement of the Erguhe case, but Han Qi said that the matter was handled by the Prime Minister and should be put on hold until the Prime Minister returns to Beijing.
In the eyes of the government and the public at that time, Mr. Fu would be back in more than a month at most, so no one thought there was anything wrong with this handling. Even Tang Jie accepted it. The most annoyed person about this was Chen Ke, because the original case
It has nothing to do with him anymore, but now I don't know how long it will take to get relief.
But what was even more annoying was yet to come. A few days later, the imperial court received a report that Jiangxi salt bandits had killed officials and rebelled, and captured the county. Under the advice of Deputy Privy Councilor Wu Kui, Zhao Zongji and Sun Mioshundao were ordered to exterminate these "groups of bandits"...
What makes me proud is that the officials prepared to give Zhao Zongji the title of county prince that was awarded to him after he returned to Beijing in advance. Zhao Zongji was named the prince of Dongping County, but it was similar to how Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Conggu made kings.
Weird... Sure enough, there are people in the court who like to be officials, and it turns out that the prince is no exception.
Only now can I see the good thing about Mr. Fu. With this kind and honest old man here, how can we allow Han Qi to be tyrannical?
But Chen Ke couldn't care less. According to the intelligence from Sihai Trading Company, the situation in Jiangxi was ten times more complicated than what Wu Kui described! Obviously, this was a big hole dug for Zhao Zongji!
Just when Chen Ke was struggling with his expedition to Jiangxi for Prince Dongping, a piece of news from the border caused a sensation in Bianjing City.
