first minister

Chapter 156 What is a big shot confrontation?

In the Mansion of the Minister of Rites, under the roar of the British Duke, there was silence.

Shi Dingzhong was stunned. He didn't believe that someone like Ying Yinggong would fail to understand his intentions.

I don't even believe that the other party will be easily fooled without understanding my intentions, and then come to me to ask for an explanation.

If the other party is like that, then they are not the top dignitaries who can sit firmly at the head of the nobles and have power all over the world.

He waved his hand and told all the servants and guards to go down, leaving only his son listening.

"My lord, what happened last night?"

British Duke Lu Rusong slapped the table, causing the dishes on the table to slam, "You know that my Lu family has a deep hatred with Concubine De, and deliberately provoked a fight between my son and Concubine De's stepbrother, if it's a normal fight, it's fine, do you know that!"

He leaned forward, and the warrior's majestic physique instantly brought a shocking pressure, "The old man was called into the palace by His Majesty last night!"

Shi Dingzhong's complexion changed, "This"

Lu Rusong said bitterly: "A central guard, a military servant, and a tiger general, this is the price I paid to resolve this difficulty."

Shi Dingzhong swallowed his saliva, "This British prince, why did this happen?"

Lu Rusong took a deep breath, "Why do you have to investigate and ask yourself, and the old man is still responsible for explaining to you? Master Shi, with the loss of the old man, it is not too much to smash your mansion today, right?"

Shi Dingzhong looked at the angry British Duke and suddenly smiled.

"Your Majesty, you might as well sit down and have some tea first, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Lu Rusong stared straight at him like a hawk, "Okay! But the old man has something to say first, if you don't satisfy the old man, the old man will go crazy!"

While making tea for Lu Rusong himself, Shi Dingzhong was thinking about what to do in his mind.

Lu Rusong's purpose was very simple, he came to make up for it.

It was as if the two had reached a deal, Shi Dingzhong paid the money, and Lu Rusong helped kill someone. Shi Dingzhong said he was a young man, so he gave ten taels of silver, and Lu Rusong would do as long as he listened.

But in the end, Lu Rusong didn't know until he went here. Damn, the opponent was a master of the four great masters. The killers he sent out were directly killed by the opponent.

The reason is very simple, but back to reality, it is not easy for Shi Dingzhong to meet Lu Rusong's request.

Because, he is only a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he does not have as many official positions as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, nor does he have as many money and food resources as the Minister of the Ministry of Households.
!!!

Shi Dingzhong was startled, and couldn't help but look at Lu Rusong suspiciously.

Is the other party's appetite really that big?

"Master Shi, have you thought about it? If you don't think about it, don't blame me for getting mad!"

Shi Dingzhong was still hesitating, but Lu Rusong was already urging him.

Shi Dingzhong cleared his throat, "Your Majesty, the official did not know about this matter beforehand. After all, it is impossible for the official to know His Majesty's will in advance."

"However." He looked at Lu Rusong, who was about to speak out, and said quickly, "Since this matter has something to do with the lower officials, the lower officials will naturally not sit idly by. The lower officials have heard that there are several talented people from your residence who will participate in the Jinke Chunyu. At that time, the lower officials will hire famous teachers and scholars on their behalf to explain the essence of the scriptures. I think they will be able to go to high school. I wonder what the British public will think?"

"Master Shi, I think you are not sincere. If so, the old man will send it!"

"British Duke!" Shi Dingzhong quickly stopped him, "The Ministry of Rites still lacks a servant. I don't know if the British Duke has a suitable candidate to recommend. Your majesty would like to speak before His Majesty."

"Servant? I don't have any servants from the Ministry of War! You tell me the servant here, I don't care if you are a wolf or a tiger! Do you know what the status of the Central Guard is?"

Shi Dingzhong suddenly sighed, "I need to think about it!"

Originally furious, Lu Rusong, who was on the verge of losing his temper, suddenly restrained his expression, narrowed his eyes slightly, "How long?"

Shi Dingzhong finally confirmed that the purpose of this old man's trip was really him.

He thought for a while, "One month."

"Okay!" Lu Rusong suddenly smiled, "I knew that Brother Shi had a bright future among the dragons and phoenixes, and he must make the right decision."

He lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "The old man has long been unhappy with that surnamed Qin, and strives for Brother Shi to replace him one day!"

Shi Dingzhong sighed again, "Prince Yingying, wait for me to think about it."

Seeing this, Lu Rusong didn't push him hard, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "I'll wait for you! No need to give it away!"

After finishing speaking, he swayed the sleeves of his toga and walked out contentedly with steps that his relatives did not recognize.

Shi Zijun was stunned as he watched from the sidelines, didn't it mean that big shots always have the kind of calm and hidden murderous intentions, and they are tit for tat against the wind and rain?
Why does this feel like a child scolding the street?

And in the end, what my father said still needs to be considered, what is it to consider?

Why did the British Duke, who was about to lose his temper, suddenly leave again?
He was confused and asked curiously, "Father, what's going on?"

Shi Dingzhong sat on the chair and looked at his son steadily.

I have both sides, struggle to move, and have always insisted on neutrality for so many years. I just don't want to take risks in the game. I didn't expect to get myself into it just because I helped this rebellious son to vent my anger!
He didn't even think about not making a choice. Once the one-month period came, he would have to enter the game no matter what.

Unless he finds a better big tree that can protect him from the Lu family's revenge, he can only stay honestly under the Lu family's tree.

As for the so-called replacement of Prime Minister Qin, at his age, he can no longer digest such a big cake.

Rebel!
Seeing his father's sad face, Shi Zijun panicked, and said cautiously: "Father, could it be that you have caused trouble because of the child?"

Shi Dingzhong squeezed out a smile, "It's nothing, it's a small problem, as a father, I can still blame you for it. Come on, sit down and eat."

Shi Zijun sat down dubiously, picked up the bowl and took a sip of the porridge when his father roared in his ears.

"Didn't my father teach you? Shi Wusheng! You make such a big noise, who will listen to it! If you tell it, people will laugh at my Shi family for not having a tutor? For my father's teaching, have you heard the dog's belly? Get out of here and kneel in the ancestral hall for one, two or three hours!"

Shi Zijun:
Co-author or because of me?

Why don't you scold me directly?As for such a big circle?

When Shi Zijun knelt silently in the ancestral hall at home, his waist was sore and his legs ached, and he was complaining endlessly, Xia Jingyun, who had been washed thoroughly last night, changed into clean clothes today, and stood in front of Jiang Anhou's mansion in a refreshed and graceful manner.

Su Yuanshang came over silently and handed a note to him.

Xia Jingyun glanced at the name, and put the note into his arms.

In the distance of his eyes, Jin Zhong had already come riding a horse.

"Oh, my servant was so blinded last night that I didn't realize that Mr. Xia is so handsome, he really deserves to be the concubine's brother-in-law!"

Jin Zhong praised exaggeratedly, Xia Jingyun smiled politely.

It's not discrimination, he also knows that most of these eunuchs are hard-working people, but this kind of thing, being praised by men for being handsome is pride, being praised by women for being handsome is happiness, and being praised by them always feels a bit wrong.

But this was just a small episode, Xia Jingyun didn't care too much, and took out a small purse with a smile and put it in Jin Zhong's hands, "Thank you, father-in-law."

"Oh, you can't do it, you can't do it."

"Elder-in-law, you're welcome. Since last night, I've caused you to run three times, so I want to express my gratitude. Let's go now?"

Jin Zhong was no longer polite, and accepted the money bag, "Okay, okay!"

"Eunuch, get in the car, let's go together."

"Don't dare! I wait for slaves to have their own rules, and we must not violate them. Please do it yourself, Young Master Xia."

"Then I will be rude."

"You're welcome."

Xia Jingyun boarded the carriage, Jin Zhong led the way, and walked slowly towards Miyagi.

Gongsun Jing worried at the side: "Will the son's trip have a good result?"

Su Yuanshang smiled, "When has he ever disappointed you?"

　The plot of entering the palace got stuck again, and I edited and edited it several times. I couldn't hold back my satisfaction until after three o'clock in the morning last night.Wait for me to think about it and send it later.
