"The imperial court order system?" King Qi retorted: "The Tuoba tribe bought the grain by themselves, and Qiu Yun only assisted them, strictly speaking, Qiu Yun played a side ball and did not violate the court order system. ”

Pei Shu didn't say anything when he heard this, and King Qi Chengxin defended Qiu Yun, isn't this side-rubbing ball a violation of the imperial court order? He turned to Prime Minister Gan Tang: "Lord Gan, what do you think?"

Gan Tang just finished replying to a recital, put down the pen, moved his wrist, and sighed: "It's still old, it's only a little longer, and my wrist will be sore and weak, alas." ”

"Lord Gan, don't go around, just point to it!" Pei Shu was a little dissatisfied in his heart, Gan Tang was already in his fifties, although he was the prime minister, he relied on his qualifications, but his prestige was a little lacking, and he couldn't catch up with King Qi or Qiuyun. Today's important ministers in the court are in the alternation of the old and the new, most of the famous ministers in Taiding Zhongxing have passed away, and there are still a few left, such as Qiuyun and King Qi, he Pei Shu can barely be counted as one, but Gan Tang is definitely not counted.

Gan Tang is a famous tumbler in the court, the best thing is not to express opinions, only the emperor made it clear, he followed a few words, and the government affairs also followed the rules, three years ago, the former prime minister Lu Xun died of illness, when choosing the new prime minister, there were several candidates, one of which was Pei Shu, but the emperor unexpectedly chose Gantang.

Pei Shu guessed that the emperor probably just fell in love with Gan Tang, the strength of the echo worm, otherwise he would not have been able to take his turn.

Pei Shu's words were a little unkind, but Gan Tang was not angry at all, he still smiled, stroked his gray beard and said: "The impeachment has been sent to Yawen Pavilion, and the emperor has no explanation, and this Qiu General is too, and he doesn't even have a distinction, I don't think we should worry, wait for the emperor's approval, and then talk about it, prince, did you say it?"

Obviously Pei Shu was asking, but this Gan Tang seemed to be answering King Qi, and everyone present understood that it was not that Gan Tang deliberately blocked Pei Shu, but that he was used to it, and King Qi was the highest status in the audience no matter what.

Although Pei Shu was disdainful of Gan Tang's behavior, his words were very reasonable, and several impeachment letters were sent to Yawen Pavilion, and the emperor had no news, and Qiu Yunna did not act. According to the usual practice, the impeached officials should immediately write a letter to defend themselves, and some officials who impulsively value their reputation will also immediately write a letter and automatically suspend themselves, so that the emperor must give a clear conclusion and punish the imperial history that slanders him.

But what about Qiuyun? Since Yawenge saw the car, he moved to the Qiu family's house outside the imperial capital, and for the first few days he still closed the door to greet guests, recuperating with peace of mind, and now he is cured, occasionally going out to visit the mountains and rivers, and most of the time he is still staying at home, which can be said to be a pity; I am afraid that the news of Yushi's impeachment of him has long been known, but he is as if he did not hear it, but the door of his house is closed more tightly.

In the eyes of everyone, Qiuyun is a celebrity who attaches great importance to fame, when he went out of Liangzhou, some people ridiculed him for his great achievements, what he did was just for fame, Qiuyun made a loud noise, announced that he would bring the whole family to Liangzhou, if Liangzhou was lost, he Qiuyun and his family went to the national disaster together, as soon as this remark came out, the Manchu Dynasty was silent in civil and military affairs, and there were those who went to the dangerous place by themselves, but they did not bring a family.

Qiuyun did what he said, took the whole family to Liangzhou, and stayed in the bitter cold land of Liangzhou for more than ten years, and all the people in the world admired and admired.

"Lord Wang, why don't you go and remind General Xia Qiu. Pei Shu proposed.

King Qi was also speechless, and he couldn't see Qiu Yun now. If you want to say that before the drive, due to the court system, Qiuyun did not see outsiders, but it can be explained, it can be seen that after driving, he still did not see outsiders, and the king of Qi sent people to invite him to the banquet twice, but was refused.

"I see, I'd better wait. Pan Lian finally stopped Xuan Xiu and said, among the four people present, the King of Qi has the highest status, but in fact, it is this Pan Chain, Taishi is the head of the three princes of the imperial court, and his status is respected, but among these four people, Pan Lian's status seems to be the lowest, the reason is that King Qi was born in the royal family, Pei Gan and the two are the upper class scholars, although the Pan family is a line of scholars, but it is only a small scholar family, and the family status is the lowest among the four, so although Pan Lian's official position is high, in fact, the right to speak is the lowest.

After Gan Tang finished saying what he had just said, he stopped talking, picked up another document and began to approve it, some of these documents were sparse, some were requests sent by the following states, and various reports.

Some of these reports had to be reported to the emperor, some of them were not, and the prime minister had the right to deal with them, so compared to the other three, his official duties were the busiest.

King Qi and Pei Shu were silent, they acquiesced to Pan Lian's proposal, and several people were in their respective seats to handle their respective official duties.

In the Yawen Pavilion, Emperor Taiding sat on the bed, and his complexion was much better than when he saw Qiuyun more than ten days ago, but this time he changed to a middle-aged eunuch to serve on the side, this middle-aged eunuch was slightly shorter than the one in front, and his face was more round.

"Your Majesty, these people outside are stupid and don't know what to do, the emperor is very clever in this game. The round-faced eunuch smiled and patted his ass.

A sneer appeared on Emperor Taiding's withered face: "Xiao Chengzi, they are all old officials and ruffians, I'm afraid they are all guessing what I mean." ”

"That's for sure," Xiao Chengzi still smiled, and came over with a cup: "Your Majesty, drink this medicine first, and I'll tell you about it." ”

Emperor Taiding stared at the medicine, Xiao Chengzi sent the medicine to his mouth, Emperor Taiding frowned slightly, and Xiao Chengzi hurriedly coaxed: "Your Majesty, this is not so bitter, you have the spirit to listen to me after drinking it, isn't it." ”

This breath is like coaxing a child, but Emperor Taiding just ate this set, and drank the medicine with Xiao Chengzi's hand, Xiao Chengzi put the medicine bowl aside, and picked up the water cup on the side: "Come, rinse your mouth, this medicine tastes bitter." ”

Emperor Taiding took a saliva, rinsed it in his mouth and spit it into the cup, and complained dissatisfiedly: "You still let me drink it." ”

"We're not sick, the old saying doesn't mean that good medicine is bitter, most of the medicines prescribed by the imperial doctor this time are good medicines, otherwise they wouldn't be so bitter. Xiao Chengzi seemed to have honey on his mouth, and his hands didn't stop, and he quickly put things in order, called the little eunuch outside to come in, took out the things, and then returned to Emperor Taiding.

Seeing Emperor Taiding looking at him, Xiao Chengzi's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Ago, the governor of Lin'an Mansion said that the pear tree that has not bloomed in Lin'an Mansion for a hundred years has bloomed this year, and the petals are actually pink, I said how is it possible, aren't pear blossoms all white, how can they be pink, if this is pink, it won't be a peach blossom, Your Majesty, have you ever seen a pink pear blossom?"

Emperor Taiding's face was gloomy: "Xiao Chengzi, if you want to talk nonsense again, I will pull out your tongue." ”

Xiao Chengzi was not frightened, stuck out his tongue, made a cute gesture, and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, look at you, this is in a hurry, don't I take my time." ”

Emperor Taiding couldn't cry or laugh, fortunately, Xiao Chengzi didn't really want to lose his appetite, he just wanted to please him, seeing that he was really a little anxious, he immediately changed his words: "I heard that Lord Pei, the King of Qi, wanted Qiuyun to defend himself, but General Qiu refused to see them, first said that he was recuperating, but now he is good, he simply said that he has thought about it behind closed doors, Emperor, this General Qiu sent food, didn't you say that you did a good job, why do those guys still want to impeach him?"

Emperor Taiding snorted lightly, and scolded expressionlessly: "You, how many times have you told you, use your brain more, for decades, you just don't want to use your brain, if this is Xiao Yangzi, he will understand, I said, you were taught by the same master, why is the difference so big?"

Xiao Chengzi said with a smile: "Slaves don't like to use their brains, the master has scolded before, but there is no way, slaves are born like this, besides, in front of the emperor, can you use slaves to use their brains, I don't lack anything, I have everything, it's all good, why use that brain." ”

Emperor Taiding smiled, this smile was much gentler, half pity, half appreciation: "You, fools have foolish blessings, and you also have to meet me." ”

"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't agree with this, but I have to refute you. Xiao Chengzi is colorful.

"Oh, tell me about it. Emperor Taiding was not angry, and asked teasingly.

"Your Majesty, I am a eunuch, and what I do is the work of serving the nobles, and I can do the work that I can do. Governing the country and sharing worries for the emperor, we are definitely not as good as those ministers outside, they are all people who have read the books of sages and sages, and they are the emperor's right-hand men, even if the emperor lets the slaves do it, the slaves can't do it. ”

Emperor Taiding nodded: "Lotte knows his fate, good minion!

"But the minion doesn't understand it completely," Xiao Chengzi added: "After so many years by the emperor's side, the minion also understands something." ”

Xiao Chengzi said and looked at Emperor Taiding's face, and Emperor Taiding looked at him: "Oh, then tell me about it, what do you understand?"

"I don't know much else, but whoever is loyal to the emperor, the slave can still see one or two. ”

"Oh, can you endure it a lot, who is loyal and who is traitorous, I can't understand it, you can actually see one or two, then tell me, is this Qiuyun a loyal minister or a traitor?"

Xiao Chengzi smiled, and wanted to help Emperor Taiding fall asleep in the past, Emperor Taiding waved his hand, and Xiao Chengzi stopped and continued: "The emperor tested me, whether this Qiu general is loyal or traitorous, the emperor still doesn't know." Okay, if the emperor tests me, I'll talk about it.

When General Qiu went to Liangzhou, not only did he go, but also brought a family with him, for more than ten years, he has been staying in the bitter place of Liangzhou, first to fight the group of barbarians in Xianbei, and then to open up the wasteland and farm, appease the border people, recruit Qiang people, the emperor also said that Liangzhou can have today's stability, General Qiu's first contribution.

This time, the emperor summoned him back to the court, from Liangzhou to the imperial capital, thousands of miles, it didn't take two months to come back, although he got up late, but there was a reason for it, but once he got on the road, he galloped like lightning, the emperor, how does Xiao Chengzi think, General Qiu is not like a treacherous person. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Chengzi quietly glanced at Emperor Taiding, Emperor Taiding looked out the window, and he didn't know if he was listening or not, the sun was shining outside the window, the leaves were a little sparse and yellow, and the autumn was getting stronger.
