The emperor was obviously seriously ill, and all civil and military officials knew it well. Although he didn't say anything, his face was full of worry, but secretly, he inevitably had some other thoughts.

Guangluxun Shu Qingsi, in the uncle's house.

The uncle's mansion is located in the south of Qicheng. It was the mansion given to him by the first emperor. It used to be the mansion of a prime minister. Later, he committed a crime and was confiscated by the government because it was very grand.

But although the house is magnificent, the entire government office of the uncle's mansion is very low-key, quiet and peaceful, even when entering and leaving, it is silent.

At this time, a guest was ushered in by the side door, and this guest entered the mansion in a small sedan chair.

Shu Qingsi, who was playing chess with his son, heard the servant's report, "Master, Mr. Zhong is here."

"Huh?" Shu Qingsi put down the white pieces in his hand, and said to his son: "Keep the chessboard, wait for me to come back and go on."

The son agreed, and then Shu Qingsi got up and went out, but when he walked out of the hall door, he saw Prime Minister Si Zhi Zhong Zidao coming over, and said, "Brother Qingsi."

The two of them didn't talk much on weekdays, but they never thought that Zhong Dao and him would have such a close relationship in private, calling them brothers.

"Zidao, why are you here?" Shu Qingsi enthusiastically took his arm, "It just so happens that I'm about to have dinner, so have a drink with me tonight."

"You still have the mood to drink!" Zhong Zidao's tone was full of anxiety, "Don't you know what happened today!"

"What's the matter?" Knowing that he was going to talk about the court affairs, Shu Qingsi led him to the study.

As soon as the door of the study was closed, Zhong Zidao hurriedly said: "Today's court meeting, His Majesty fainted, Brother Qingsi, aren't you also in court?"

Shu Qingsi stroked his mustache, "Well, I was there when I was in Liuli Palace. But what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty fainted for two days. Even I knew about it in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is conceivable that His Majesty's body may be weak." Zhong Zidao lowered his voice, "If Your Majesty is true..."

"Zidao be careful with your words." Shu Qingsi interrupted Zhong Zidao, "Your Majesty is as blessed as heaven, and nothing will happen."

Zhong Zidao's expression was full of disbelief, but he didn't point it out again, he just said: "The empress dowager is still young, Prime Minister Liang adheres to the doctrine of the mean, the state has internal troubles and external troubles, brother Qingsi, don't you plan to do it for yourself? Think about it?"

Shu Qingsi said: "Think for yourself? Shouldn't it be for the country? It is precisely because the empress dowager is young that she should try her best to assist the government."

Zhong Zidao nodded, "That's right, it is true that we must contribute to the court, but only with a higher position can we better contribute to the court and the people."

"Every official is indispensable to perform his duties in his position, just like Zidao, you are the same."

"How much ability can do as many things, but if the ability does not match the official position, the stronger ability is to bury talents, and the weaker ability is not worthy of virtue. I know how much weight I have, but I am brother Qingsi. Feel worthless."

Shu Qingsi was about to speak, but Zhong Zidao stopped him, "To tell the truth, Liang Zhonghuan has been an official for many years, but he stood in the right position a few times, and he has made it to today, becoming the head of all officials. But he didn't What kind of political achievement is nothing more than eating and drinking soup with Prime Minister Qin a few times during his lifetime. He is only old enough to be awarded the post of prime minister."

Hearing these disrespectful words, Shu Qingsi felt a little anxious on his face. He tried to interrupt the other party several times, but failed to stop him. Finally, he sighed anxiously, "Oh! What are you talking about?!"

"Brother Qingsi, these words have been buried in my heart for a long time, and I have to say them." Zhong Zidao looked excited, "In the future, His Highness will be succeeded by the young emperor. Feiran, but Liu Feiran is less than 20 years old, even if Liang Zhonghuan takes office, he will only be in his [-]s and less than [-], Brother Qing Si, are you willing? Are you willing to have such a young woman riding on your head?!"

"I don't care, but Brother Qingsi, if your grand plans and ambitions are buried because of this, isn't that a good thing for the country and the people? It used to be that the Taiwei was in power, and Prime Minister Qin was in charge of the overall situation. We There is no opportunity to stand out, and now such a good opportunity is in front of you, brother Qingsi, it is really a rare opportunity."

Shu Qingsi waved his hands again and again, "Zidao can't say that. Although Master Liu is young, he is also a generation of talents. He is favored by His Majesty. I am ashamed."

"Then Liu Feiran is nothing compared to Brother Qingsi? Whether she really got the appreciation based on her own ability, or there is something in the dark, no one can say." Zhong Zidao lowered his voice, "And she I also stayed in the palace many times, who knows if I slept in the East Palace or somewhere else?"

"Zidao be careful!" Shu Qingsi covered Zhong Zidao's mouth in shock, "The more you talk, the more outrageous it is!"

Zhong Zidao also knew that he had said it, so he took Shu Qingsi's hand and sighed, "Brother Qing Si, you should really think about yourself, as in the previous situation, no matter how ambitious you are in your heart, you can't show it. .”

Zhong Zidao actually thought about it correctly, once Chu Wenhao fell, Chu Yuchen would succeed.At her age, she is bound to be unable to manage the court, so the final decision will only be made by the ministers.

With the current situation, Liang Zhonghuan is known as a good old man who has no ideas, so everyone can influence the decision-making.The rights that have been dispersed are definitely a good opportunity for those who want to show their ambitions.

Shu Qingsi said: "Don't worry, Zidao, Master Liu is not a person who can't tolerate others. Even if we are under her command, we will have a day to show our talents. Don't worry."

Zhong Zidao became impatient, "Are you really willing to be stood on top of us by that girl? Her current promotion speed is unprecedented. How many people can hold their hearts at such a speed? If she stands on top of her If we take the highest position, and His Highness obeys her, then we will really be choked, and we really can't help ourselves!"

Shu Qingsi looked indifferently, "No, don't worry, Zidao, there must be a reason for Master Liu to be so valued by Prime Minister Qin and His Majesty. What's more"

The voice behind Shu Qingsi was a bit low, and Zhong Zidao had to listen carefully to hear it clearly, so he heard Shu Qingsi say in a low voice: "This is all chosen by Your Majesty."

Zhong Zidao was overjoyed when he heard this sentence. Shu Qingsi, who he was most afraid of, really didn't have any ideas. As long as he had a little idea, a little bit of dissatisfaction and complaints, it was something he could act on.

"Brother Qingsi, don't worry, leave these matters to me." Zhong Zidao quickly dropped these words, and then left.

Shu Qingsi looked blank at first, and then hurried to hold him back, but it was too late, he could only shout from behind: "Zidao, Zidao, wait! What are you talking about? Don't be foolish!"

However, Zhong Zidao laughed and waved away.

Shu Qingsi stood in the study, the anxious look on his face gradually disappeared, he quietly looked at the direction Zhong Zidao was leaving, and slowly revealed a faint smile.

Liu Feiran didn't know about these things, she was still concerned with court affairs.Jiang Ziliu's letter came back from Fengzhou, he brought it back to Chu Yuchen, after Chu Yuchen got the letter, he called Liu Feiran into the palace.

It was the moment when Qin Xuanke was teaching Chu Yuchen the piano skills, and the beautiful sound of the piano was spreading in the East Palace. At first, it was just a piece of music floating, and then a new piano was added to form a duet.The sound of the piano is winding and winding, sometimes melodious and free, sometimes hard to hide sadness, very moving.

Listening to the sound of the piano, Liu Feiran's tense mood slowly became relaxed.She couldn't help slowing down, with a smile on her face, enjoying the rare tranquility.

"Ow"

The fox's low cry came, and Alai ran out from somewhere in the East Palace.It has grown into a majestic big fox, and the fox's eyes are full of cunning.It has always been close to Liu Feiran, and at this moment it threw itself into Liu Feiran's arms.

It's also fortunate that Liu Feiran is not an ordinary woman, otherwise she might not be able to withstand such a pounce.Liu Feiran smiled and hugged it and stroked its hair, then walked towards the East Palace.

At this time, the song has finished playing, and Liu Feiran happened to come in.Seeing his sister, Chu Yuchen walked over happily, "Sister, you are here."

"I've seen His Highness, and when I came in, I heard His Highness and Xuan Ke's ensemble sound. Your Highness has made great progress, and the ensemble with Xuan Ke has not fallen behind. It's really gratifying."

Qin Xuanke also smiled and said: "My servant has nothing to teach His Highness, and what I'm teaching now is just some experience, so that His Highness can refer to it."

"Students don't learn enough to master one or two tenths of the master, and the master is too modest."

The three chatted and laughed, Qin Xuanke resigned, and Liu Feiran asked, "Your Highness, did Jiang Ziliu's letter come back?"

Hearing Jiang Ziliu's name, Qin Xuanke couldn't help but pause slightly, and didn't continue to walk out.

Chu Yuchen actually saw Qin Xuanke's pause, but didn't wait for her to leave first, but deliberately continued, "Well, it's a letter, sister, Jiang Ziliu is injured."

Qin Xuanke was startled and couldn't help but turn around.

Chu Yuchen saw it, smiled secretly in his heart, and said solemnly: "But it's not serious, there is no missing arm or broken leg, and it will recover soon."

Liu Feiran didn't know what was going on behind her, but she still asked with concern: "How did you get hurt after all?"

"This Chen'er doesn't know." Chu Yuchen shook his head, then pretended to be surprised and asked: "Sir, aren't you going out of the palace?"

Qin Xuanke came back to her senses, feeling as if she had been caught eavesdropping, so she blushed slightly and quit.

Chu Yuchen watched Qin Xuanke go out, Liu Feiran also came to his senses, shook his head amusedly, and rubbed her hair, "You, why are you playing tricks on Xuanke?"

"Chen'er didn't play tricks on her. It's obviously the husband who wants to know about Jiang Ziliu's situation. I'm doing this to satisfy her."

Liu Feiran asked: "So Jiang Ziliu was injured?"

"No."

Liu Feiran was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed heartily. She put down the fox, and then hugged the little man, "You really are a big kid, and you said you didn't mean to tease people!"

Chu Yuchen sniffed the scent on Liu Feiran's body, and narrowed his eyes comfortably.She is not teasing people, she is creating opportunities for them!Trying to get Jiang Ziliu to marry his husband back home as soon as possible, naturally no one will compete with him for his sister.
