Someone always wants me to be a courtier [Rebirth]

After the words fell, the two people in the study looked at each other and frowned. The huge room was instantly filled with an inexplicable atmosphere.

The little boy waited for a while outside the door with lowered eyebrows, only to hear a short "biography", hurriedly responded, and walked out quickly to lead someone in.

The sound of knuckles knocking on the wooden door sounded three more times, Su Yanzhao raised his head, just in time to see a plump man in a red official uniform coming in, he lowered his head in keeping with etiquette, but he couldn't see his face clearly.

The man lowered his head and held something in the form of a letter in both hands, which looked like a document of a king.

The study room is confidential, there is no servant boy, Su Yanlian sneered, got up to pick it up, and transferred it to Su Yanzhao's desk.

Su Yanzhao lowered his eyes and saw a brown letter sealed with wax varnish, with four characters written by Xie Xuan on the conspicuous place, which was completely different from the one sent to Jinling several months ago. Consistent.

And another...

The style of memorials commonly used in the Lizheng Hall looks like it was drafted by the Ministry of Rites in color, but the handwriting on the cover is not at all familiar.

"Tao Yi from Jiaozhou met Prime Minister Su."

Before he could think about it, a moderate greeting came to his ears, and the word "Tao Yi" alone made Su Yanzhao look away and look at the person who came by in surprise.

He is not tall and has a round body, but his facial features are considered kind, exactly as he remembers.

He didn't know many people under Xie Xuan's subordinates, apart from Shen Ju, Tao Yi was the only one who left a deep impression on him.

Unlike Shen Ju, whom he met when he was young, Tao Yi became acquainted with him when he eradicated Cheng Wang's old tribe in his last life.

At that time, the big tree was going to put everyone in danger, and everyone in Jiaozhou wanted to protect themselves, but this one rushed to find the prime minister's mansion with the list of King Cheng's old ministries, and confessed everything in detail.

Afterwards, ten of King Cheng's former ministries were liquidated, and the rest of them had their futures ruined. Only this one, relying on betraying his old friend, prospered in his official career.

In his impression, when Xie Qi was assassinated in the previous life, Tao Yi had already reached the second rank of official rank, and could be regarded as a high official in Beijing.

This is a villain, the one who is bold, careful and unscrupulous.

Still very capable.

Thoughts turned in his mind thousands of times, but he just nodded slightly on his face, and said, "Master Tao has had a hard time on the road, please take your seat."

Tao Yi sat down as he said, but barely touched the chair with half of his buttocks. He looked around unobtrusively, occasionally glanced at the two people beside him or on the main seat in the room, and then looked away for a moment.

The rank of officials under the prince is not high, and the most powerful Changshi around Xie Xuan is only five rank, and he is even worse. In the past, he didn't even have the chance to see Su Yanlian alone, so he had to see these two together.

Now that I really met someone face to face, Tao Yi swallowed unconsciously when he remembered Xie Xuan's instructions, sweat broke out on his forehead.

Su Yanzhao has good patience, but Su Yanlian doesn't have this kind of patience. He smiled without sincerity and said, "Master Tao came all the way from Jinling, just to be silent with my brothers?"

Tao Yi had heard about Duke Ding of the Dynasty's impatient and annoying temper, and today he has seen it for real. He sat up straight and returned solemnly; "The next official is here to present the memorial and Prime Minister Su, you can return to Beijing after Prime Minister Su's approval."

review?

In the past, Xie Qi hadn't been in power yet, so it was natural for him to go through every detail of the court memorial.

Now that Jinling has changed owners, it is self-evident who the owner of this memorial is.

What does it mean to show him?

Demonstration, declaration of war or notification?

Su Yanzhao's gaze fell on the thin letter on the table again, and after a while, he stretched out his hand to take it into his palm.

No one spoke, and the already somewhat empty study suddenly fell silent, only the slight sound of papers being flipped.

It seemed like it had been a long time, and it seemed that it was only a moment. Su Yanzhao put down the memorial, curled the corners of his lips coldly, and asked, "This is... the memorial presented by the Ministry of Rites to His Highness King Cheng to inform the process of the enthronement ceremony?"

The content of the memorial is complicated, but he is extremely familiar with it.He had only seen this set of things half a year ago when Xie Qi ascended the throne.

"Exactly." Tao Yi nodded while avoiding Su Yanlian's astonished gaze.

As if afraid of being kicked out by the owner of the place, he added after a pause; "Prime Minister Su is the head of all officials, so it is up to you to decide such important matters before they can be formally implemented."

After a moment of silence, Su Yanlian turned her head and looked straight at Tao Yi.

"What does His Highness King Cheng mean by this? My elder brother is currently in Jiaozhou, and he is beyond the reach of Jinling. The enthronement ceremony is complicated and trivial, so it's better to make up your own mind."

Xie Xuan brought this memorial at this time, the meaning is self-evident.

As long as his elder brother casually said which part of the last memorial needed to be revised, even if Xie Xuan's ascension to the throne was admitted, a big battle would be eliminated, and most of the country that had not yet been fully controlled would soon settle down.

Are you dreaming?

As if he knew what Su Yanlian was thinking, Tao Yi hurriedly said: "Your Highness said that most of the soldiers and horses in the court are the old troops of the old Ding Guogong. The father died and the son succeeded. It is useless to put the soldier amulet in the hands of Prime Minister Su." Big problem. Su Xiangruo is not at ease, now there is a vacancy for a privy envoy in the court, and it can be parallel with the post of prime minister."

Although the words were directed in the direction of Su Yanlian, his eyes were burning on the person in the main seat, full of eagerness.

According to the rules of the Qi Dynasty, the privy envoys are in charge of important military affairs and can mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the country. In terms of rank, they are only below the prime minister, and they are not easily awarded to others.

In the more than two hundred years since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, no one person has ever held two positions.

Because generally speaking, no emperor would be so stupid as to entrust the power of the whole country to one person, and no powerful minister could seize power to such a frenzied point.

This is the greatest sincerity Xie Xuan can show.

Facing Tao Yi's scorching gaze, Su Yanzhao just nodded reassuringly, and said to see off the guests; "It's getting late today, Mr. Tao, let's go to rest first, and I will send someone to inform Mr. Tao when there is a result in the future. .”

If he didn't expressly refuse, it meant he was thinking about it. Tao Yi said goodbye quickly and went straight out.

"Brother." Seeing that the man couldn't even see his back, Su Yanlian called softly, and Tao Yi's words just now lingered in his ears, and it was a lie to say that he didn't want to move.

Left and right belong to the Xie family, as long as the status and power are still there, and life is safe, what does it matter to him who sits on the chair in the Xuanzheng Hall?

"You go out first, let me think about it." Su Yanzhao knew what he was thinking, but couldn't give an answer for a while, so he picked up the letter on the table that had been ignored before, with deep eyes.

The carved wooden door opened and closed for the fourth time, and finally there was only one person left in the room.

Su Yanzhao saw something else through the letter.

The Jinling secret report delivered by Xuanwei a few days ago was also on such letterhead, with a navy blue cover and sealed with wax lacquer.

The secret report said that after King Cheng Xie Xuan entered Jinling, he treated the clan with great courtesy, and did not kill the new emperor Xie Qi, but put him under house arrest in a small courtyard in the northwest corner of Jinling.

The appearance of Xie Qi wishing him a triumphant return flashed unexpectedly in his mind. The little prince who was not loved by his parents since he was a child came out of Huai'en Temple for less than a year, and was sent to such a place for his half-brother .

Somewhere in the chest, there was a sudden throbbing pain.

It's all his fault.

Originally thought that with Xie Xuan's ability, even if he raised an army, he would not be able to cause any disturbances, but he didn't expect that the opponent's soldiers took a dangerous detour to Jinling.

It's fine if Jinling falls, and it's not a dead end if most of the country is still in his hands, but the little emperor is still unwilling to withdraw first with Xuanwei.

Yesterday Su Yanlian complained about Xie Qi, he just smoothed it out when he didn't like it, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.

As long as there is any step that deviates slightly, it will never fall into today's situation.

It was also because he was too eager for success after starting over again. He wanted to protect that rare innocence and let the little emperor grow up quickly. It would be best if he could decide the world's affairs in an instant and take over the burden on his shoulders.

It was he who forgot that the 17-year-old Xie Qi had never endured humiliation and endured hardships, and was not the king who surrendered his country and smiled.

Such a mistake must never happen again.

The author has something to say: "On the experience of being a winner in life and taking a detour after being reborn"
