Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

The kitten he picked up seemed not afraid of life at all, especially to Lu Ci who saved his life, he was very clingy.

The servant wanted to carry it to the small nest that he had piled up with small steps, but it fiercely slapped it away with its soft paw pads. With his tail cocked, he followed behind the master's house and entered the bedroom together.

When Lu Ci was changing clothes, it jumped onto the shelf and looked at it seriously; when Lu Ci was drinking tea, it jumped down and turned around on the table; when Lu Ci turned off the lights, it came together curiously. In the past, I sniffed at the lamp oil that suddenly lost its light.

Lu Ci didn't pay much attention to it. After making sure that all the important items were put in the drawer, he pulled the quilt casually, covered himself, and fell asleep after a while.

The little milk cat excitedly touches the objects in the room carefully one by one, studying for a while, the only thing he dare not do is to go to bed.

At most, when I couldn't help it, I would paw at the side of the bed with my two paws, stare at the sleeping master for a while, then make a soft 'mi', and continue to play with other small objects.

Because of the delay in the political affairs hall, Lu Ci had to get up before he slept for a long time.

When he just woke up, his mind was still unclear, and he sat up in a daze. When he was about to put on his shoes, he almost stepped on the little milk cat that was sleeping soundly in the shoes.

"...this little thing."

Lu Ci shook his head dumbfounded.

He hesitated for a moment between waking it up and regaining the sovereignty over the shoes, or letting it go, but finally, seeing the cleverness of the room that had not been demolished, he generously gave it the rather thick new shoe.

After Lu Ci finished cleaning up and went out with a radiant face, he saw Yan Shu riding on the horse, waiting for him with a smile.

Seeing that he finally appeared, Yan Shu smiled and urged the horse to approach, and asked, "Why are you so late today?"

Lu Ci confessed frankly: "Kou Lianlian summoned him at night, and he picked up a little raccoon slave on the street, so it was a delay... What are you?"

Yan Shu had no energy left to answer Lu Ci's question, and even he didn't know why he kept approaching the glutton as usual, and his nose felt an uncontrollable itching.

He had to turn his head hastily, and even sneezed fiercely several times, even tears were stimulated to roll down a few drops.

Lu Ci blinked unexpectedly.

Yan Shu is still allergic to cats?

Even though he only went out after changing and washing, after spending most of the night in the same room with the little raccoon slave, there was unavoidably some milk cat smell left on him, which was what Yan Shu, who was allergic, fell for.

When Yan Shu finally calmed down, he couldn't help looking at Lu Ci in surprise, "What's hiding on your body?"

Lu Ci was [-]% sure, so he explained it to him, and finally said: "You should stay away from me for a while."

No matter how reluctant Yan Shu was, he could only keep a long distance from Lu Ci, so as not to cause the violent reaction just now to happen again.

It was also inevitable that he was full of complaints about the culprit, and repeatedly asked Lu Ci to send him away as soon as possible.

Under the influence of a small episode, Yan Shu unconsciously completely forgot about the matter of "Kou Xiangxiang" that he was most concerned about and was about to ask about.

The official family has been absent from court for more than ten days due to illness, and their health has improved slightly. When they finally resumed the court meeting, they naturally accumulated countless memorials to be listened to.

However, because they were considerate of the fact that the officials were still weak, the officials were unprecedentedly calm and only talked about unimportant topics.

Only Ding Wei and Cao Lili, who had other thoughts, were absent-minded all the time, casting their eyes on the calm Kou Zhun from time to time.

More than half an hour has passed, Yang Yi and others were summoned overnight, and Kou Zhun, who rushed to work and issued the imperial edict of the crown prince, has not moved yet?

Ding Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.

As soon as he got the news from Liu E, he immediately took the woman's car and went to the houses of Cao Lili, Qian Weiyan and others to discuss how to use this matter to cause trouble, so he was naturally the most anxious one. .

In particular, he can vaguely feel that when the situation is not going as expected, he will cast puzzled and even questioning eyes on his Cao Li and others.

Kou Laoxi has a violent temper, which can be said to be well known throughout the court.

How could he be so calm and keep pressing the button when he thought he had the chance to win and was about to catch all the officials by surprise?

Ding said he couldn't understand it.

He wanted to observe Kou Laoxi's expression carefully, but because the wings of his hat were too long, any tilt of his head would affect the other officials standing beside him, and it would even attract the attention of the people behind him, so it was not easy to sideways Turn your head to look carefully at the other party who is still a few steps away from him.

Since he couldn't see Kou Zhun clearly, Ding Wei had no choice but to continue to ponder on his own.

And waiting for the praying mantis to catch the cicada, the anti-Kou Yidang full of anticipation, waited until the end of the morning court, and did not wait for Kou Zhun's triumphant attack.

Which part is the problem?

Ding Wei's face was gloomy, and Cao Lili and the others looked even more ugly one by one.

Kou Zhun didn't mention the matter of the crown prince supervising the country at all!

If it wasn't for nothing, the counterattack they negotiated leaked the secret, and Kou Zhun took countermeasures.

They looked at each other meaningfully as they exited the palace, seeing similar hidden suspicions in each other's eyes.

Because this alliance is only based on the intention of defeating the bandits, the mutual trust is as fragile as Lu Ci expected.

Coupled with the fact that several people are in high positions, they are more or less a little stubborn, so no one thinks that the wrong link fell on themselves, but suspects it to others without hesitation.

Ding said that his forehead was dripping with sweat, and he carefully screened the events of last night in his mind, but he still couldn't figure out where the problem was.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, thunder roared, and heavy rain suddenly fell.

The officials of the San Dynasty secretly thought that they were unlucky and had to speed up their pace to avoid the sudden rainstorm.

In this bitterly cold weather, being drenched all over, and under the embarrassment of finding a replacement official uniform, it is easy to get sick.

Only Ding Wei was drenched to the skin. At the same time, a thought that he had never had before flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

After all, it was just that Liu E misunderstood the meaning at the beginning and delivered the wrong message in a hurry?

Or...

In fact, she had already colluded with Kou Zhun, and deliberately spread false news in order to frame them!

Kou Zhun, however, had already walked quickly to the corridor not far away, while slowly shaking off the water droplets on his body, while looking at Ding Wei who was standing dumbfounded in the rain, Kou Zhun let out a light snort for a long while.

It was finally his turn to Ding Wei, who had been watching his and Wang Qinruo's conflicts openly and secretly, and had been calmly watching from the sidelines, throwing stones at him from time to time, felt so frustrated.

At this moment, Ding Wei suddenly felt something, raised his eyes suddenly, and met Kou Zhun's.

Looking at those eyes that could not be concealed, Kou Zhun curled the corners of his lips lazily, and gave him a very provocative smile frankly and generously.

In the situation where both parties have something to vent, although he can't stop Ding Wei from doing what he wants to do, he can make the other party have no loopholes to take advantage of, and spend time with him in vain.

With an unlucky guy who didn't realize that he was being calculated until now, and an opponent who turned against each other, Kou Zhun was completely relieved, and the heartache of giving up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity also eased a lot.

The only thing that made him feel unhappy was——

I owe a favor to that very vicious Mizhou Lang again.

Liu E didn't know that the alliance she managed to get online was facing disintegration, and she was anxiously waiting in the palace, waiting for the return of the officials.

According to the original plan, when Kou Zhun took out the edict in the early court, he would be fiercely criticized and obstructed by Ding Wei and others who had prepared in advance.

And just when the official family was vacillating, she added another fire to the side, so as to push Kou Zhun to the point of no return.

Zhao Heng has been in power for nearly 50 years, and has survived the most difficult Chanyuan alliance. Now that the world is peaceful, and it is time to enjoy the blessings, how can he be willing to hand over the authority he has long been accustomed to to a naive child who is not yet in charge? hand to go?

Even if Zhao Zhen is the only surviving heir of Zhao Heng, there is absolutely no reason to give up power willingly.

However, when she saw that the returning official was in a good mood instead of the one she had imagined, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

What happened in the DPRK?

Liu E couldn't help but hate that she had limited power and couldn't put her eyes and ears in the court, so she quickly calmed down and greeted her with a smile.

Seeing his wife who has been with him for many years, Zhao Heng couldn't help but also smiled, but this good mood quickly turned into suspicion after he noticed her side tapping.

He stared at Liu E, who couldn't hide his eagerness, and he didn't want to believe it in his heart, so he said slowly: "Just now in the meeting, Prime Minister Kou never spoke."

Liu E blurted out: "This is impossible!"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Zhao Heng's heart.

Didn't Kou Zhun tell her about whether he said it or not?

Moreover, Liu E's reaction really couldn't allow him not to think too much.

Zhao Heng frowned, and asked politely: "Who did you hear the news from? Don't believe it."

Liu E forced a smile and said, "I never—"

Hearing that she still had to use lies to argue, Zhao Heng couldn't help being disappointed, and interrupted her in a dispirited way: "I still have political affairs to take care of, my lady can go shopping in the garden first."

Seeing Liu E's reaction, he couldn't help wondering whether it was really inappropriate for him to indulge his practice of reviewing memorials a few days ago.

Just like what Kou Zhun said, is it a sign of repeating Li Zhi's old mistakes?

Liu E couldn't hear the alienated and indifferent order to expel the guest, and her face turned pale immediately, but she didn't dare to add fuel to the fire, so she could only retreat aggrieved.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Heng couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted.

YouQi recalled that during the days when he was ill, she served her in undressed clothes, he couldn't help sighing, "I'll go find you when I'm done."

Liu E stroked her slightly settled chest, and left slowly.

After returning to her palace, she let out a heavy breath, and said with a sullen expression on her face, "Send someone to Mr. Ding to ask what's going on."

As soon as the person was sent out, she thought about it, and then quickly changed her words: "Forget it, let the person come back first. Let's talk about it in a few days."

Although the officials still have affection for her, they were still suspicious.

She didn't dare to run into trouble at this time, it's better to be quiet.

As a person in the know, Lu Ci can naturally see that despite the calmness of the early court, there has actually been a fierce confrontation.

Seeing that Kou Zhun could cope with it easily, he felt relieved.

But when it was time to go to Zishantang to give lectures, he couldn't help being a little surprised that he didn't see the little prince who came to pick him up in the name of a walk.

After he was in the Zishan Hall, he learned that the crown prince would be late for a while because he was summoned by the officials to speak.

Why is that?

Lu Ci calmly picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.
