How do treacherous courtiers with love brain save themselves

The emperor led the two prime ministers to drink and chat at a small table, and looked at the other table being up and down, and said with a smile: "I still remember when I first became the throne, how many old ministers told me that the six ministries must house the elderly, which is prudent and reliable." Take on important matters. But at that time, I was young and energetic, so I didn't listen, and arranged for him to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. You see, he did not disappoint me, and firmly supported the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Now let's look at Mr. Bai and Mr. Bai Lord Jin, the same youth, the same rising sun, after years of experience, why not be the second and third Minister of the Ministry of Justice?"

The two prime ministers echoed, "Your Majesty's eyes are discerning, and I admire you."

The emperor said humbly: "You two don't have to put a high hat on me. The Shengjin Kingdom has been stable for so many years. I know that you have contributed a lot. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you two. Today is the opportunity. Come, I Properly toast to both of you, for the sake of me and the world."

Who would dare not drink the emperor's toast?

Prime Minister You put down his glass, and deliberately told Prime Minister Zuo: "It's a great fortune to have someone like Lord Bai who is scheming, courageous and resourceful to follow, and a pawn like Lieutenant Li, who is outspoken and loyal, I really envy you." .”

"In front of the emperor, whether to follow or not, we are all the emperor's subjects and subordinates, brother Meng Ze, please be careful."

The emperor waved his hand, "It's okay, I know your loyalty. Today I want you to speak freely and resolve conflicts without too many scruples. Look at that table, the conversation is much more thorough than the two of you."

Not far away, Lieutenant Li rolled up his sleeves and stood up, pointing at the nose of the minister of the Ministry of Rites and said: "Last time, the emperor said that the six parts of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the south were made, and your servants in the Ministry of Rites are too crazy. What kind of pens did we send? What kind of paper? Not to mention top grade, even if I buy it casually on Chugong Street, it is better than those. What are you guys talking about? Our Ministry of Punishment is not a department for learning essays, so there is no need to worry about it I'm so petty, I'm so petty, you can go to the emperor and sue me now if you have the ability. We don't beat you, but the emperor. Ming dare not compete with us, it's shameful to use these things all the time People's petty tricks, I am really ashamed of your etiquette." Lieutenant Li complained happily, and the old book of the Ministry of Rites blushed when he heard it, and drank sullenly.

The person next to him snorted coldly: "Adjutant Li, you invited your colleagues to drink in your previous village, and the few people who drank it all vomited and diarrhea, so it's not considered a secret method?"

Lieutenant Li ignored it for a while, and his voice was a little lower: "Then why don't you say that the Minister of the Household Department you killed will not be an official in the court in this life? Such a good person, don't you feel chills on your back when you do something wrong?" ?”

Speaking of Chen Shangshu from the household department, Lieutenant Li's anger was rekindled, and he was about to stretch out his hand to pull him over and beat him up. Bai Yuhui held his wine glass and laughed softly: "The emperor asked us to ease the conflict, but if you don't ease it Just sit down and drink, don't hit the emperor's face, and walk around when you can't eat."

Jin Lingyue also came out at the right time to smooth things over: "I would like to make a small suggestion. Anyway, the night is long, and neither of us can leave unless the emperor tells us to leave. Let's play a game. One party calls names and the other party asks a question. We can only tell the truth. If it’s inconvenient to talk about, just drink instead, and the person who asks the question can’t go on asking. It can pass the time and fulfill the emperor’s expectations, how about it?”

This idea sounds quite interesting, especially when everyone sees the three people behind them staring at this side with different expressions. If they continue to confront each other like this, there will definitely be problems, so they all agreed.

Jin Lingyue nodded in satisfaction, and asked the first question.

"Master Bai, do you have anything to regret in this life?"

Bai Yuhui laughed softly: "Everyone has it, and I am no exception. Mr. Jin, are you still used to coming to court?"

Jin Lingyue: "Fortunately, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the ability to adapt is strong. Has Mr. Bai ever done something against his conscience?"

Everyone stared at Bai Yuhui for a while, and Jin Lingyue for a while, turning their heads around, as if they were watching some interesting debate match.

Bai Yuhui didn't answer, just picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Wow, the people who were watching the scene grinned tacitly and stood up.

How many people in the court can be worthy of their own conscience?

Except for heartless people like Lieutenant Li.

Lieutenant Li jumped out and laughed, "Ming Yun, what have you done? Why don't I know?"

Bai Yuhui asked the minister of the Ministry of Industry: "The river guard officer of the Sun Moon Embankment, sir, you really didn't know him before?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry hesitated for a moment, then adjusted his sitting posture, and said a little angrily, "What do you mean, Mr. Bai? Could it be that I dig a trap for myself? What are you trying to frame you? Take the ancestor's Sun Moon Embankment as the price? You think too highly of yourself."

Bai Yuhui rubbed the tip of his nose and smiled, "Master Shangshu, why bother to get angry? You said you can ask casually, answer if you want to answer, and drink if you don't want to answer. Why are you being so serious? I'm just curious."

"Hmph, now that Lord Bai has finished asking, this old man will also ask. Lord Bai, how did you find out that Mr. Zhou is an illegitimate son? I heard that there are no people who knew about it now. Who Tell you such a secret?"

Bai Yuhui consciously poured himself another cup and prepared to drink it.

The adults on the opposite side all looked at Bai Yuhui and prepared another cup for themselves with expressions of "sure enough".

The two reached out to stop it together.

Lieutenant Li quickly snatched Bai Yuhui's wine glass, and said to everyone, "Brother Bai and I are like brothers, I'll drink his wine for him, do you have any objections? His injury has not recovered, and drinking too much will hurt him."

Jin Lingyue agreed with both hands, and the rest of the adults were just here to make up the number of people, so they didn't care too much about it.

Whoever drinks it is different, anyway, it is not drinking by yourself.

I don't know if everyone saw that Bai Yuhui was a good outlet and started asking him questions in turn.

"Master Bai, I don't know how did you get the evidence of embezzlement and bribery by the minister of the Ministry of War?"

"Master Bai, there are rumors outside that you have an extraordinary relationship with Prime Minister Zuo. Can you explain how unusual it is?"

"Master Bai, the princess admires you. Some people say that you have already made a private appointment for life. Is it true?"

Bai Yuhui pointed at the last person's question and said, "This can be answered, no, the princess is only curious about me for a while, not to the point of admiration. Don't spread rumors about a girl so brazenly and ruin my name." Festival is a trivial matter, the princess is pure and clean, and you must not make jokes. The rest, Lieutenant Li, I am sorry, two cups."

In other words, is the relationship between Bai Yuhui and Prime Minister Zuo really unusual?

The faction of Prime Minister You who got this answer became interested and wanted to continue digging deeper.

The network of relationships in the court is already intricate.

You think I am not pleasing to the eye today and want to step on me, but tomorrow you will know that I am not a kind person, not only can't step on but also flatter you.Because there is someone behind me, someone you have to look at the face of the Buddha.

Jin Lingyue saw that everyone seemed to have agreed to fire at Bai Yuhui, and cut it off intentionally: "Adjutant Li, may I ask why you put medicine in the wine at the banquet that day to make several colleagues suffer?"

Lieutenant Li drank a few glasses of wine, and said in a flustered voice: "The Chen Shangshu you killed couldn't enter the capital, and even ruined his knees, what's wrong with making you run to the toilet? Is it serious?"

Lieutenant Li speaks confidently when he is not drunk, but now that he is dizzy from drinking, he is even more confident.

Slowly, several people asked each other questions, and they all liked to step on other people's taboos, causing a table of people to quickly drink more than half of the six pots of wine.

The three people over there looked at the people drinking here and there, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Young man, impulsive, let's continue."

The emperor continued the topic just now: "I don't know if you two have any recommendations for sending the envoys of Qin Weiguo this time?"

Prime Minister You thought for a while, and spoke first: "The minister recommends Mr. Jin, young and energetic, clear-headed and sharp-tongued, he will definitely live up to expectations."

Prime Minister Zuo squinted his eyes and raised his eyebrows, waiting for Prime Minister Right's next words.

Would he be willing to let his most proud assistant go to another country?

Prime Minister Zuo was thinking about Prime Minister Right's conspiracy.

Sure enough, Prime Minister You pretended to be suspicious: "It is Mr. Jin's identity, but he is just a person in charge. I don't know if it is enough."

It turned out to be waiting here.

Prime Minister Zuo took the opportunity to answer: "Speaking of status, I feel that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is fine. He just needs to rest recently, and he will rest wherever he rests. Why not go to Qin Weiguo as an envoy. Lord Bai's words, there is nothing to say, believe it It must be able to complete the important task.”

The emperor quietly listened to the two people's suggestions, and glanced at Bai Yuhui and Jin Lingyue who were teasing each other in the distance.

Prime Minister Zuo was right, Bai Yuhui's words were good, and if he was sent, he would most likely be able to complete the task.

But Prime Minister You's proposal is also good, and the emperor always likes to level the bowls of the two prime ministers, so he can't make a decision casually.

Seeing the embarrassment of the emperor, Prime Minister You deliberately said: "Lord Bai has been busy checking the appointment of officials in recent years. It can be said that it is the most important thing and cannot be delayed. Our Lord Jin is not idle. He told me that day , wanting to re-examine the cold palace back then, I feel that it doesn't matter which of them goes, it's okay."

! ! ! ! !

"You mean, Mr. Jin wants to investigate the cold palace back then? Are you sure?" It was Prime Minister Zuo who asked this question, with an incredulous expression on his face.

Who gave Jin Lingyue the courage to want to check the taboos in the palace.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the two talking and laughing people, and slowly made a decision: "Since both are so good, let's go with both. What do you think?"

The left and right ministers looked at each other, respectfully said: "The emperor is wise."

The two people who didn't know that they were being watched in the distance were still playing games.

They didn't know that the three people behind had already woven a big web for the two of them. They were the spiders on the web, the hunter and the prey.
