"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Gao Rou pondered for a moment and said, "Weichen thinks that if Lord Du's words are really executed, there is some suspicion of seeking profit and inviting merit, and he is old, isn't it..."

"Huh?"

Emperor Xia Jing was suspicious, Gao Rou only said that his words were wrong, and immediately bowed and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is angry, Weichen is just relieving your Majesty's worries, if there are inappropriate words, please atone for your Majesty!" ”

Looking at Gao Roucheng's frightened appearance, Emperor Xia Jing took a moment to calm down before he said: "Du Ruting is the minister of the first emperor, from the father of the emperor, and now he is serving in front of the ranks, there is nothing wrong with it, according to your words, I am afraid it will hurt the hearts of the ministers!" ”

"Your Majesty is right, it's Weichen who is abrupt!"

"But..."Emperor Xia Jing said: "This is about to come to the New Year's ceremony, I need a calm person to perform the duties of the commander, but today there were some accidents in the court, but I forgot about it!" ”

Hearing this, Gao Rou's brain thought quickly, and immediately understood Emperor Xia Jingdi's thoughts, and when Emperor Xia Jing pondered with his back hand, Gao Rou stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is not talented, and he is willing to perform the responsibility of the commander on duty!" ”

"Good!" Emperor Xia Jing immediately agreed.

Half a moment later, Gao Rou left the Qianqing Palace and returned to the mansion, Gao Rou had a gloomy face, looking at his uncle's unorthodox expression, and his nephew Gao Ji came to say, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Alas, another drudgery has fallen on my head!"

Gao Rou sighed and said in a deep voice: "Ten days later, it will be the Spring Festival, and I will be the commander of the New Year's ceremony!" ”

"What? The Commander of the New Year's Ceremony! Gao Ji was pleasantly surprised, and the whole person was almost happy: "Uncle, this is a good thing, now Your Majesty is in power all over the world, this first year's New Year's ceremony, if the uncle is good, it will definitely be a great achievement, at that time the uncle will enter the high hall, but it is a trivial matter!" ”

"You... In vain I have been teaching you for so many years! ”

Gao Rou was already displeased, and now Gao Ji is casually speaking, which really disappointed Gao Rou. A rebuke fell to his ears, and Gao Ji was stunned for a moment, I don't know why.

"Uncle, is it my nephew who is wrong?"

"Or you think it's a good job? Idiot! ”

Gao Rou got up and paced back and forth, thinking about how to deal with the next thing, it is said that the duty officer of this New Year's ceremony should have Du Ruting to bear, after all, that old guy has gone through three dynasties, and he is highly respected, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the head of the ministers at present, and he is the most suitable to be the duty officer, but at the moment, Du Ruting's invitation idea is not in harmony with Emperor Xia Jing, and Emperor Xia Jing does not want to punish this old minister, so that someone must comply with a certain party, and as a close minister of the East Palace of Emperor Xia Jing, when His Majesty is irritable, It should be thought of sharing his worries, otherwise Emperor Xia Jing would not have said anything to himself, now that he thinks about it, Gao Rou really regrets that he should inherit it, but think about it again, if not, even if there is nothing to do now, I am afraid that in the future, my position in front of Emperor Xia Jingdi will plummet.

Unable to do so, the responsibility of the commander on duty, according to Gao Rou's estimate, at most half a day, Du Ruting will get the news, and only God knows what the old guy will do.

This Gao Ji quietly withdrew in Gao Rou's irritability, but as soon as he turned around, he happened to meet someone to report.

"Tall and young, Lord Luo asks to see you!"

"Lord Luo? Which Lord Luo? ”

Gao Ji was unclear for a while, and said: "It's Lord Luo Jinci in the middle book!" ”

"What is he here for?"

This Luo Jinci is now facing Du Ruting, it is really a fire and water, and the officials next to him are afraid of getting into trouble, so they have avoided it, but now that this guy has come to Gaofu, the ghost knows what he is going to do.

Gao Ji thought for a moment, and rushed down: "Just say that the master is not at home, let him come back another day!"

"Tall and young, this is only over!" The subordinate looked helpless: "Then Lord Luo Jinci's car is following our master Gao one after another, how do you say this?" ”

"You shit!"

Gao Ji scolded, about to step forward, he knew that Uncle Gao Rou was in a bad mood now, so he stopped a lot of things for him, but Luo Jinci had already come in from outside, saw Gao Ji, and didn't wait for him to speak, Luo Jinci said bluntly: "This matter is related to the New Year's ceremony of Lord Gao, you have to think of good things and then say it to Lord Ben!" ”

"This..."

Luo Jinci pushed Gao Ji back with a word, and at the same time, Gao Rou came out of the study.

"Lord Luo, talk about it in the house, Gao Ji, go and serve two cups of fragrant tea!"

Luo Jinci came to the room and sat down, and said bluntly: "Lord Gao, half a moment ago, Zhongshu Pavilion issued an order, and you were the commander of the New Year's ceremony, and this news can surprise this official!" ”

"Ashamed, ashamed!"

Gao Rou arched her hand and said with a smile, without any previous dryness: "Your Majesty works hard every day, and we as courtiers have to share the heavy responsibilities for Your Majesty, and if we celebrate a little, we won't bother Your Majesty!" The subordinate officials are not talented, they have one or two abilities, and they can barely do it, so they ask Your Majesty for such an errand! ”

In the face of Gao Rou's words, Luo Jinci smiled lightly on his face, but shook his head and sighed in his heart, and in the midst of relaxation, Gao Ji came in with a teacup, and the two drank a cup of each, Luo Jinci left the teacup vacant and buckled, which made Gao Rou unclear.

"Master Gao, how much water this cup can hold is certain, if it exceeds or is upside down, the water will spill out, and there will be no drop left!"

"Lord Luo, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush like this!"

Gao Rou's pleasure made Luo Jinci smile secretly: "Actually, we all know that Du Ruting was originally the best candidate for the New Year's Ceremony, and His Majesty was also willing to let him be on duty, but Du Ruting had a deep heart to invite merit, and asked His Majesty to suppress the military line one after another, which is obviously not the best choice in the current situation of Great Xia, so His Majesty will not let Du Ruting take over as the duty officer of the New Year's Ceremony, so as to suppress Du Ruting's prestige, and this requires someone to block it, and now that Lord Gao has done this blocker, he will inevitably be hated by Lord Du!" ”

"It's not a matter of saying it! This official is for His Majesty, and he doesn't care about the people around him! ”

"Definitely!" Luo Jinci followed up one after another, making Gao Rou unavoidable: "I don't care about the people next to me, but whether the people next to you will care about you, this is the key, now that Lord Gao has been elected as the commander, Du Ruting's tone is quite ruthless, I think you are making a fuss, as an old minister of the East Palace, do you dare to resist and attack him?" ”

"This..."

Gao Rou hesitated, from the point of view of her heart, it was definitely not a wise move to be hostile to the old ministers of the Three Dynasties, but she could accept it, but she was afraid that Du Ruting would cook him quite comfortably, and His Majesty would turn a blind eye and expose the matter.

Thinking of this, Gao Rou held back the fire in her heart: "What does Lord Luo mean?" ”

"You and I join forces, both for the help of the political hall, you are in the name of the courtiers of the East Palace, and I am in the name of the courtiers, the two are one, and those courtiers who support Du Ruting will also weigh one or two, and secretly wonder if His Majesty has any decree and political system change, so that your pressure will be much less!"
