The Queen Mother Wang sat with a smile on her face, and two maids beside her, one pinched her shoulders and the other beat her legs. On the table in front of him were miscellaneous preserved fruits and pastries, and the emperor's filial piety tea was soaked in the cup, and the faint aroma filled the air. Tian Wei pushed aside an orange and ate it with a mouthful of water, with a flattering and flattering smile on his ugly face.

The Queen Mother glanced at her: "Bring a piece of cloth to Wu Anhou, he is already the prime minister, and he is still like this, and he is not afraid of other people's jokes when he goes out?" ”

took Bupa and wiped the orange juice on his chest: "It's okay, today's deliberations are over, if you want to take a look, take a look, by the way, a few days ago, King Huainan gave his brother a few boxes of oranges, which are more delicious than yours here, and I will ask someone to send some to my sister when I go back." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "It's good to have this heart, I also have it here, as long as you are good, Sister, I will rest assured, no one has embarrassed you these days, right?" ”

Tian Wei smiled and shook his head: "No, everything is fine, it's just ......"

"Huh!" The queen mother knows the virtue of her younger brother, and she has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and today she wants to send something to herself, and she must have something to ask for: "You! Say, is there anything I need help with? ”

Tian Wei smiled, hurriedly put down the orange in his hand, moved forward, and looked around with the most eyes.

The Queen Mother shook her head and ordered: "Xiaoxing stays, everyone else goes out, I want to talk to Wu Anhou." ”

Xiaoxing is the Queen Mother's personal maidservant, and she can be regarded as a confidant, and many things need Xiaoxing to do, so the Queen Mother only left her. When everyone went out, Xiaoxing closed the door and stood at the door.

The Queen Mother said, "Can you say it now?" Who bullied you again? ”

Tian Wei said: "It's not bullying, my brother is now the prime minister, one person is above ten thousand people, who dares to bully me?" It's just that some people don't feel comfortable looking. ”

"Who? It can't be that Su Ren, right? The queen mother said: "If it is him, you can bear with it, as long as he does not embarrass you, I have no choice, I asked you to be the prime minister, I promised the emperor that he would not move Su Ren." ”

Tian Wei hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not him!" This Su Ren is not bad, does my sister remember that His Majesty decreed that I did not refuse politely? At that time, Zhuang Qingzhai's old guy pointed out in public that I was wrong, thanks to Su Ren covering it up in a few words, otherwise I really don't know how to end it, brother. ”

"Oh? It seems that you have a good impression of this Su Ren! But let me remind you, Su Ren is not simple, be careful! ”

Tian Wei nodded hurriedly: "Sister, don't worry, my brother understands." ”

"Who is it not Su Ren? No one in the entire court except him should dare to be your enemy! ”

Tian Wei had a bitter face: "Sister, my good sister, you have to be the master for your younger brother, I have only been in office for a few days, and there are already several impeachment chapters for the imperial historians, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that this prime minister will not be able to do it for long." ”

"Zhuang Qingzhai? How could it be him? Why does he have to get along with our brother and sister like this? ”

Tian Wei nodded: "He is the Imperial Doctor, without his permission, others would not have the courage!" This old thing relies on his three old ministers, and he can't get along with me all the time, it is said that he was instructed by someone, I thought about it for a long time and didn't understand why Zhuang Qingzhai did this, maybe he thought I robbed him of the position of prime minister? Speaking of which, Zhuang Qingzhai should indeed be the prime minister. ”

"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother said coldly: "Whoever is the prime minister has his own emperor's arrangement, how can he Zhuang Qingzhai do what he wants?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't? But Zhuang Qingzhai didn't think so, although he was friendly to his younger brother, he instructed his subordinates to provoke the assassination, if he fought with him, his younger brother was worried that someone would say that I would eradicate dissidents, and my sister still needed to think of a way to do so. ”

"Zhuang Qingzhai! Hum! The Queen Mother snorted: "He is seeing that you and my brother are uncomfortable, how can I spare him?" ”

Tian Wei is a shrewd person, and when he saw that he had already teased the queen mother's anger, he kept silent and lowered his head to eat oranges. The Queen Mother sulked alone for a while, thought for a while, and said, "If Zhuang Qingzhai is dismissed, who do you think can take over?" Although the Imperial Doctor is not an important position, he is also regarded as the third prince, and must not fall into the hands of others. ”

Tian Wei raised his ugly face and hurriedly said: "If you talk about the Imperial Doctor, there are really a few candidates here. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it? ”

"Jingzhao Yin Jiyin, Daxing Ling Wang Hui, and Taixue Doctor Dong Zhongshu are all good, although they are not our own people, at least they will not cause trouble."

The Queen Mother glanced at Tian Wei, and Tian Wei smiled and showed great sincerity. The Queen Mother smiled: "Ji Di is too upright, Wang Hui is still young, not to mention Dong Zhongshu, that is Confucianism, or Su Ren's father-in-law, you don't want to sell Guanzi, there is something to say." ”

Tian Wei laughed twice: "It's still my sister's smart, no wonder I can be the queen mother, we have my sister to have today, if my sister is a man, our family doesn't know how rich it is." ”

"Shoot less horses, say, who do you like?"

Tian Wei said: "Dasi Nong Han Anguo! ”

"Han Anguo?" The Queen Mother thought about this person in her head, her eyes turned a few times, and she nodded slightly: "If you want to say that this Han Anguo is really suitable, when he was in Liang State, he helped King Liang block the Seven Nations Alliance, and then King Liang died, he came to Chang'an, and we also helped him become the Governor of Beidi, and last year he was promoted to Dasi Nong, if he is allowed to be the imperial doctor, at least we will have a lot less tongue." ”

Tian Wei nodded again and again: "Who said it wasn't?" Han Anguo is an old man who is serious and scheming, and with him assisting his younger brother, his sister can rest assured. ”

The Queen Mother also nodded: "This person is suitable, you can bring him into the palace and let me see him." ”

"No!" Tian Wei was overjoyed and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Watching Tian Wei happily go out, the Queen Mother sighed. He knows better than anyone what this younger brother is, but who made him his own brother? The Queen Mother came from a humble background, and there were not many relatives, let alone any finished children. Only this Tian Wei can be used, there is really no other candidate, if there is someone like Su Ren, he will worry a lot less.

Xiaoxing poured a glass of water for the Queen Mother and gently placed it on the table. The Queen Mother also looked at the door: "Xiaoxing, you sent someone to investigate, who gave the prime minister this idea?" Don't let anyone take advantage of it. ”

Xiaoxing hurriedly saluted: "No! Slave and maid, let's do it! ”

Zhuang Qingzhai came back from the court, his eyelids jumped violently, and he used various methods to still be the same. Shaking his eyelids, Zhuang Qingzhai sighed for a long time, he saw clearly in the court, he didn't know about the siege of Tian Wei by a few imperial historians, and these people were not his cronies, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't stand up for him, but things are strange here, when the emperor asked a few people why, those guys actually said in unison that it was for the sake of heaven and the people.

At that time, Zhuang Qingzhai was like going up to knock over a few people, what is the way of heaven? What are the people? They don't tell the truth, and everyone thinks about themselves. Today, this basin of can't be washed on the head.

Zhu Maichen asked in a low voice, "Is there something on the teacher's mind?" ”

Zhuang Qingzhai came back to his senses: "The three of you will leave tomorrow, the old man, the imperial doctor, may not be able to do it for long." ”

Bian Tong hurriedly said: "What makes the teacher like this?" Does Your Majesty want to remove the teacher from his official position? ”

"The dismissal of officials is light, and the old man is more worried."

"Ahh Wang Chao was surprised, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Zhu Maichen and Bian Tong, meaning what should we do.

Zhu Maichen said: "If there is anything, the teacher can tell the students a few people, and the students should also think about whether there is a remedy." ”

Zhuang Qingzhai sighed and told the story of the early dynasty. Bian Tong was furious: "These guys, isn't this a clear pit teacher?" Why didn't the teacher explain it to His Majesty? ”

Wang Dynasty also sighed: "The wood is already in the boat, the more the teacher explains His Majesty, the more he will not believe it, in my opinion, I am afraid that this is deliberately made by the prime minister, that is, to retaliate against the teacher in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day to obstruct him from receiving the order, Tian Wei is narrow-minded and the world knows it!" ”

Zhu Maichen frowned: "It's not strange that Wu'anhou has always been like this, but this move is too ruthless, I'm afraid there will be a follow-up move, and the teacher should not be guarded!" ”

Zhuang Qingzhai nodded: "Because of this, the old man is more worried, thinking that my Zhuang family has been loyal to the Han for a hundred years, but when I come to the old man, I will end up like this, how will the old man explain to the ancestors and ancestors after a hundred years?" ”

Several people all fell silent, and the sudden change caught Zhuang Qingzhai off guard. He was promoted by the Empress Dowager Dou, and Xuchang, who was ranked as the third duke with him, had gone home to retire, and only he was still standing in the court. Zhuang Qingzhai also knew that this was a concession made by the emperor in order not to make the empress dowager feel cold. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened, and he had a premonition of danger.

Zhu Maichen said: "Teacher, the student has a way to prevent His Majesty from being guilty!" ”

"Say, tell me!" Zhuang Qingzhai immediately asked.

"Now that the wood is already in the boat, why don't the teacher retreat bravely? In this way, for the sake of the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty will not be too embarrassed about the teacher, just wait for Tian Wei to lose power, and the teacher will make a comeback. ”

Wang Chao sneered: "Tian Wei is the younger brother of the Queen Mother, when will he lose power?" ”

Zhu Maichen said: "You don't understand this, don't you think that Dou Ying's strike has a smell this time?" In my opinion, the struggle between the emperor and the queen mother has begun, and the focus of their mother and son is on Tian Wei. ”

Wang Chao said: "What does Brother Zhu mean is that Dou Ying's dismissal of the prime minister was deliberately done by His Majesty?" ”

"It's not just Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is a shadow of Su Ren in this, maybe this idea was Su Ren's idea."

Bian Tongxiang's head hurts, Zhu Maichen's thinking is beating too fast, he can't keep up with it anymore, no matter how he thinks about it, he can't connect Zhuang Qingzhai's current crisis with Su Ren. Covering his forehead: "Don't go that far, if the teacher resigns, what should we do?" Is it difficult to take refuge in Tian Wei? ”

Zhu Maichen glanced at Zhuang Qingzhai, turned his face and glared at Bian Tong fiercely: "What nonsense? You and I are both students of the teacher, and if we should follow the teacher, how can we be justified in joining others? ”
