In front of you, it is Qingyun Avenue!

Zhou Youyi got off the sedan chair, carefully sorted out the official clothes on his body, and after making sure that there was no loss of etiquette, he walked towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhao Jia's Xiangfu is already a big mansion in Yongle Fang, but it is far from being as huge as the Jing'an Hou Mansion, so he only walked a few hundred steps to the door of the Xiangfu's study, and the person who led the way stopped at the door, bowed slightly to Zhou Youyi and said: "Zhou Yushi, my master is waiting for you in the study, you can go in." ”

The so-called prime minister's concierge seven-grade official, Zhao Jia is now a big man in the sky, and the vision of these subordinates in his family will naturally follow, and there are a lot of second-grade and third-grade bigwigs on weekdays.

Zhou Youyi naturally understood this truth, not only was he not angry, but nodded and smiled at this subordinate: "Thank you little brother for leading the way." ”

After saying this, he looked up at the study in front of him, and after taking a deep breath, he stepped forward and knocked on the door of the study gently.

"Xiangye, the lower official Zhou Youyi......"

Soon, a mellow voice came from the study: "Zhou Yushi come in." ”

Zhou Youyi took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in, and then knelt in the study with a thud.

"Xia Guan Zhou Youyi, I have seen Xiangye."

In the study, Zhao Jia, who was still dressed in white, was holding an ancient book in his hand, and when he saw Zhou Youyi kneeling directly on the ground, he frowned, then put down the scroll in his hand, pointed to the chair in front of him, and frowned: "Zhou Yushi, you and I are colleagues who are officials in the same dynasty, I can't afford to be such a heavy courtesy from you, get up quickly." ”

In this era, men have five kneels, that is, the prince of heaven and earth, and it is reasonable to kneel these five, but Shangguan is not among these five, that is to say, even if it is a petty official of the ninth grade. As long as you have an official body, you can not kneel when you meet a first-class official.

After all, theoretically speaking, everyone is a colleague, but the division of functions is different, and they are equal in personality.

However, some sycophants bowed and saluted when they saw the officials, and gradually formed a crooked atmosphere in the government and the opposition, and many people knelt down when they saw the officials, and knelt down when they saw their superiors.

People like Zhou Youyi are typical sycophants.

After Zhou Youyi heard Zhao Jia's words, he got up from the ground, still not daring to stand upright, but bowed in front of Zhao Jia, and his demeanor was extremely humble.

"Xiangye started at the end of Qingping, and now stands at the top of Qingyun, and is the most respected person in the life of Xiaguan."

"Xiangye is a model for my generation of scholars."

Although Zhao Jia has been the prime minister for more than a year, he has to deal with officials of all sizes on weekdays, but most of the officials he usually contacts are people with some status, even if they are sloppy, they will not be too explicit, but this Zhou Youyi has made Zhao Jia feel uncomfortable.

He frowned, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said, "Zhou Yushi, I called you here today because I have something serious to tell you, so sit down." ”

Zhou Youyi nodded hurriedly: "The lower official obeys the order." ”

He sat down in front of Zhao Jia tremblingly, only half of his buttocks sitting, just like a courtier's face saint.

After sitting down, he looked up at Zhao Jia, and a smile appeared on his face: "I don't know what the Prime Minister summoned the officials to do?" ”

"There's something I want to talk to you about."

Zhao Jia looked at this palace servant who only had seven grades, but stirred up the situation in the capital, and said slowly: "Zhou Yushi has done a lot of things recently, shaking the government and the opposition, and even the metropolitan governor has mentioned you to me many times, which is really amazing." ”

Zhou Youyi was overjoyed in his heart, and then immediately restrained himself, forcibly held back the smile on his face, bowed his head to Zhao Jia and said, "Xiangye has won the award, and the lower official just did some ...... It's just something to do. ”

"Does Zhou Yushi really think that what he is doing is what he should do?"

Zhao Jia's face was expressionless.

"How do you know that you didn't make the wrong bet or make the wrong move?"

Zhou Youyi was stunned.

After a long time, he looked up at Zhao Jia in amazement, and said stumblingly: "Xiangye, if there is a change of dynasty today, everyone in the capital can see it, since the general trend has been achieved, the next official ...... There shouldn't be anything wrong with being a person......"

"You also said that everyone in the capital can see that they want to change the dynasty, but why is it only you, Zhou Yushi, who stands up to be this person? There are so many dignitaries in Yongle Fang, and their vision is not as good as your Zhou Yushi? ”

"If it's a bet that must be won, how can these people let you, a person with no background, sell this?"

Zhao Jia's face was calm, and he continued: "In addition to these dignitaries in the capital, there are also many people from the southwest in the court now, and they have been officials in the capital for more than a year. ”

"So far, there is a southwestern person who has jumped out and echoed Zhou Yushi's half sentence?"

Zhou Youyi was directly stunned by Zhao Jia's words.

He was stunned for a long time before he finally looked up at Zhao Jia and stuttered.

"That'...... What do you mean..."

Zhao Jia lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Although you are very bold, you are not too stupid, you have not mistaken the situation, now what you are doing is not wrong, but the timing is not right, most of the governors are hindered by their identity, and it is inconvenient to say something to you, but this appearance can tell you clearly, if you continue to do such nonsense, you will definitely die!" ”

"Now there are tens of thousands of people surnamed Ji in the capital and I don't know how many relatives of the Ji family, Zhou Yushi might as well think about it, how many of these people want you to die."

"The Metropolitan Governor didn't nod for a day, the Great Jin is still the Great Jin, these people are still relatives of the emperor, they can't help the Grand Governor, but it can't be easier to kill you to vent your anger."

Zhou Youyi's face turned pale in an instant, he raised his head to look at Zhao Jia, and then knelt on the ground with a plop, his voice trembling: "...... Xiang Ye, help! ”

"I will naturally save you, otherwise I wouldn't have called you to my house today."

Zhao Jia was a little short-sighted because he had read too many books, and at this time he squinted his eyes and said softly: "Those of us who came out of the southwest also want the Metropolitan Governor to ascend the throne as soon as possible, which coincides with Zhou Yushi, so I called Zhou Yushi to the mansion, the purpose is to rescue Zhou Yushi." ”

Zhou Youyi kowtowed: "Thank you for saving your life!" ”

"Get up and speak."

Zhao Jia smiled: "As long as you listen to my orders, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, your family's net worth and life will definitely be saved." ”

"In the future, the governor of the capital will be righteous, and there will definitely be a place for Zhou Yushi above the court."

Zhou Youyi got up from the ground again, his tone trembling.

"Please ask the prime minister to ......"

……

The two of them talked in the study for almost half an hour, and Zhou Youyi wiped his sweat and walked out of Zhao Jia's study, and before leaving, he thanked Zhao Jia for his kindness.

"Someone."

After Zhou Youyi walked away, Zhao Jia's calm voice came from the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Throw this chair out and burn it as firewood."

"Rub the ground with water, too."
