"No need?" Chu Ling directly interrupted Qi Lin, "Why don't you need it? Don't worry? Don't worry if you're going to be forced to resign?!"

Although Chu Ling has always been more lively and straightforward in front of friends like Qi Lin and Liu Muzhi who have been friends for many years, he can say whatever he has, but he is still quite calm and stable in his bones.At this moment, Chu Ling's mood could be called irritable, her tone was a bit aggressive, and her complexion was very bad.

Chu Ling was really angry this time.

Qi Lin: "..."

Qi Lin's face was still gentle, she lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea, and asked calmly, "Did anyone say something in the court today?"

Regarding the question that Chu Ling mentioned, it is no longer a matter of a day or two.It can be said that after Qi Lin took office as prime minister five years ago, similar voices in the court have never stopped—too many people questioned Qi Lin's ability, and felt that Qi Lin was not worthy of being prime minister and should abdicate as soon as possible.

This kind of thing is clear to Qi Lin, who doesn't care much about the court's public opinion, let alone Chu Ling, who has eyes and ears and listens to all directions.A few years earlier, Chu Ling would still feel very uncomfortable with these doubts and belittlings against Qi Lin, but after seeing and hearing a lot, he gradually became too lazy to pay attention.Anyway, no matter what the outside world said, Qi Lin, the current prime minister, still sat securely.

Therefore, Chu Ling came to Qi Lin so excitedly and angrily because of this matter today, except for some major event in the court that would substantially affect Qi Lin's career, there could be no other reason.

As for what this major event that would substantially affect Qi Lin's career, Qi Lin almost had a guess in his mind.

Sure enough, Chu listened to Qi Lin's words and sneered, and then answered Qi Lin's question: "With your status and status, who else can say something openly except His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Bai Qingtong! Tell me what you think?!" Chu Ling felt angry when he saw Qi Lin's calm expression, and he slapped the table in front of him, making a loud noise. Muffled, "Yes, I know that when you first married Princess Xuanji, whether it was you, the female prime minister, or Princess Xuanji, the most favored daughter of the empress, the two of you were too popular. You Needless to say, the living Bodhisattva recognized by the people of the world, the number one female official in the world, has achieved great achievements and is widely loved. I don’t know how much she has become; Princess Xuanji has done a lot of good deeds for the country and the people, and Her Royal Highness has interfered many times before. The government has already been noticed by many princes. It is not a good thing for the two of you to be too popular, and you need to restrain your edge and retreat intentionally, I can understand all of this."

"So after you got married, once you changed the way you behaved before the official worship of the prime minister, you became blindly seeking stability and not making progress at all. The matter completely severed the relationship, and almost became a boudoir woman in the prime minister's mansion. I support these practices of your wife and wife, and I am very happy to see these practices bring you Protection, let the two of you have a safe and secure life."

"But Bai Qingtong! It's been five years, count it yourself, it's already been five years!" Chu Ling slapped the table again, making his palms turn red, but he himself didn't seem to feel the pain at all. Yes, I didn’t care about it at all, but continued to complain fiercely, “Five years is not enough for you to avoid the limelight?! You have changed from thrifty to extravagant, and from extravagant to frugal, you have become lazy and undisciplined. Don’t you want to contribute to the king and the country?! Look at what you look like now! In the court, you are like making up the numbers, no matter how big or small, you will never see a word from you! All kinds of government | affairs |To|Everything you do is perfunctory. Before, you could barely be considered safe and secure, but now there are all kinds of small loopholes! When it comes to court, you run faster than anyone else. When you are free, you will only play around with Princess Xuanji!"

"Bai Qingtong! Do you still remember that you are the prime minister of this dynasty?! Do you just muddle along like this and don't think about making progress?! You don't care about the king|lord|chao|tang, and you don't care about the life of the people?! Back then That living Bodhisattva who is determined to forge ahead with compassion and help the world, now there is nothing left but a puddle of mud, do you know that?!"

The more Chu Ling spoke, the more excited she became. At the end, her eyes were all red, and they were filled with bloodshot eyes that were somewhat shocking.

He stared at Qi Lin, staring at Qi Lin with almost fierce eyes, as if he wanted to pry Qi Lin's head open, and take a closer look at what was inside.

Both indignant and deplored.

Qi Lin: "..."

Chu Ling's anger this time was much worse than she had imagined.

That's right, no matter how much you can chat with her, Chu Ling is still a native of ancient times, and the thoughts of loyalty | monarch | love | country and mind the world are deeply rooted in his heart.These thoughts are enough to be called Chu Ling's ideals and beliefs, and Chu Ling has long regarded Qi Lin as one of his own people, as his like-minded friend and confidant, but now Qi Lin's actions are all against these ideals and beliefs. In Chu Ling's eyes, it can be said that it is no different from betrayal.

Chu Ling really couldn't accept that Qi Lin, who was clearly capable of becoming a famous official through the ages, could give up on himself to such an extent because of some irrelevant gossip and slander!

Qi Lin sighed for her negligence. She acted so relaxed in front of Chu Ling at the beginning, and she was even a little joking.

Qi Lin glanced at Chu Ling's palms that were completely red and swollen from being slapped on the table, suppressed the last trace of a smile on his face, turned his head and gave Jing Zhe a wink, telling her to hurry up and get some medicine.

Jing Zhe bowed her head and retreated, while Qi Lin's face changed into a rather serious expression, she raised her eyes to Chu Ling, her tone was solemn: "The reason why I became what I am today is not because of Chu Ling Brother said."

Chu Ling was stunned for a moment.

Qi Lin's tone returned to his usual calm and peaceful tone: "Brother Chu, you should also know that the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle is for profit. And this world is not endless, and the benefits of this world are also There is always a definite number." Qi Lin slowly stroked the teacup with his hand, "Since this is the case, if one person gets more benefits, others will naturally get less benefits. If they are arranged as tall as buildings and towers, then the lower the people at the lower level, the narrower the range of benefits they can get, and the higher the level, the wider the range of benefits they can get.”

"Naturally, everything in the world will always change, and the people on each floor of this building and tower will also change and flow. Those on the lower floors can climb up to the upper floors, and those on the upper floors can also fall to the lower floors. And when a person on the lower floor wants to If you want to climb to the top, it will inevitably lead to the rejection of those who were originally at the top. After all, the newcomers want to compete with them for benefits, but the benefits are not endless, but have a fixed number. It can be said that people who were originally at the bottom often The higher the number of floors climbed, the more serious the fear, exclusion, and even frame-up from the people who were originally at the top will be. Especially the person who originally lived at the bottom not only climbed more floors, but also the people who climbed up The speed is still very fast, and in the end, even if it is the person at the top, there is not much distance left."

"Then, Brother Chu, tell me, "At this time, how will the person at the top treat the person who originally lived at the bottom, and how will he treat the person who originally lived at the bottom?" "

Chu Ling's pupils shrank suddenly.

What does Bai Qingtong mean by saying this...? !

Chu Ling is definitely a smart person, and Qi Lin has already hinted at this, so he won't fail to understand.

It's just that he didn't want to understand for a while.

Qi Lin smiled: "That's right, this person who originally lived at the bottom has already made the person at the top extremely dissatisfied, not to mention the person who originally lived at the bottom climbed up a little bit. Even the people who lived at the bottom maintained her current position, making the people at the top want to get rid of her soon."

"Therefore, instead of waiting until the person at the top loses the last bit of patience and really starts to use thunderous methods against her, this person who was originally at the bottom might as well go down on his own initiative, so that he can get it and his life will be safe."

Chu Ling was shocked by the last four words Qi Lin said slowly, "Life is worry-free".

"Bai, Bai Qingtong..." Chu Ling stared at Qi Lin with disbelief and astonishment in his eyes, "You mean...you..."

At this time, Jing Zhe, who went to get the medicine just now, also came back, and she respectfully put these external medicines on the table between Qi Lin and Chu Ling.

Qi Lin pointed at the medicine and was about to ask Chu Ling to treat the wound on his hand first, but before he could say anything, he received a report from a servant who rushed over: "Master! Your Highness the Princess is back!"

Qi Lin and Chu were stunned for a moment after listening. Qi Lin immediately turned his head and asked Jing Zhe to confirm with his eyes. Your Highness is back on time!"

Qi Lin: "..."

Well, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and an hour or two was gone in a blink of an eye.

"Jing Zhe, let the kitchen move." Qi Lin gave Jing Zhe an order.

Before Qi Lin asked the kitchen to prepare Princess Xuanji's favorite dishes, now that Princess Xuanji has gone home, she can serve them on the table, so as not to make Her Royal Highness hungry.

Jing Zhe has already detected that Princess Xuanji is walking towards the flower hall at a fast pace. Looking at the frequency of Her Highness's steps, she knows that Her Highness must have a lot of emotions at the moment. Survival experience told her that in short, she should evacuate first!

Otherwise, when the princess comes down later, I'm afraid she will find fault with her again QAQ!

So Jing Zhe immediately took the order to retreat, and just as Qi Lin turned his head to talk to Chu Ling, a flash of bright red suddenly appeared in his vision.

This red Qi Lin is really very familiar, she looked over with some surprise, in the vast snow outside the flower hall, Princess Xuanji's red dress and red coat are as bright as her facial features, unparalleled in the world.

But on this bright and unparalleled face, what Qi Lin saw was full of grievances, anger, and pain.

Qi Lin: "..."

Without even thinking about it, Qi Lin rushed out of the flower hall, and hugged her Highness the Princess tightly in the courtyard where the snow was still falling.

Chu Ling: "..."

The amount of information in Qi Lin's words just now was too huge, which made Chu Ling unable to think normally for a while, and could only subconsciously follow Qi Lin.So when Qi Lin looked at Princess Xuanji and then ran over to hug her, Chu Ling followed Qi Lin with a dazed gaze.

Then, just so suddenly, he was fed a big mouthful of dog food.

Chu Ling silently turned her head back with a face that couldn't bear to look directly.

Although he has eaten a lot of dog food distributed between Qi Lin and Princess Xuanji over the years, he is very familiar with the taste, but this does not prevent him from not liking the taste!

In the snow, Qi Lin hugged Princess Xuanji, felt her trembling uncontrollably, and rolled her eyes where no one was looking.

Your Majesty, you took advantage of me to take a bath in the court today, what did you say or do?How did it happen that first Lao Chu ran over and was filled with righteous indignation, and then my daughter-in-law came back and felt wronged and uncomfortable? !

Well, that's right, His Majesty must have caused this matter, Qi Lin is very sure.

Qi Lin patted his daughter-in-law's back and the back of the head with his hands tenderly, lowered his head slightly and rubbed against his daughter-in-law's cheeks and neck: "Your Highness, it's fine, it's fine."

In Qi Lin's warm and familiar embrace, listening to Qi Lin's soft words of comfort, Princess Xuanji finally couldn't bear it any longer. She hugged Qi Lin tightly with her trembling hands, and cried out in tears. Come out: "Qingtong——"

His voice was very low and hoarse, as if he was suppressing too much emotion, and he didn't even know how to vent it.

Princess Xuanji really didn't understand why her most beloved father insisted on attacking her favorite wife? !
