Get out of the way, the prime minister is mine!

Regarding Chu Wenhao's current physical condition, Liu Feiran is very worried.Now that the imperial court is unstable, once the news of the emperor's health is reported, it may cause turmoil. However, the emperor's illness cannot be ignored forever. Thinking of his previous speculation, after Liu Feiran left the palace, he could not help but go to the prime minister's residence. direction.

What Prime Minister Qin said today was to invite Liu Feiran to visit, so Liu Feiran stepped into the Prime Minister's residence without hindrance.The butler brought her to the door of the study, knocked on the door and said, "Old Minister, Master Liu has arrived."

"Please come in." Prime Minister Qin's voice came from inside.

"I have seen Prime Minister Qin." Lord Liu saluted respectfully.

"Lord Liu, you are welcome." Prime Minister Qin was writing, so he called her up and said, "I heard that Master Liu's calligraphy is not simple, so please appreciate Master Liu. How is the old man's handwriting?"

"Prime Minister is over-reputed, I am ashamed to be an official." Liu Feiran said modestly, she walked to the side of Prime Minister Qin, and saw that Prime Minister Qin wrote the word "servant" on the paper.

The writing is vigorous and powerful, and every stroke shows the essence of the writer who has been obsessed with this way for many years.It's just that Liu Feiran didn't want to understand why it was a word of servant, she didn't believe that Prime Minister Qin really let herself read the characters.

"Prime Minister Qin's calligraphy has always been hard to find in the imperial city. It is really an honor for me to be able to see the calligraphy today." Liu Feiran was thinking about the meaning of this word in his mind, and he did not forget the meaning of praise in his mouth.

"It's just everyone's flattery to this old man." Prime Minister Qin put down his pen, put his thin and wrinkled fingers on the side of the herringbone in the word "Servant", he slowly traced it with his fingers, and said: "I entered the court on 25th. He was 51 years old when he became a prime minister, and he has been a prime minister for more than ten years, and has gone through four dynasties of emperors."

Of course, Liu Feiran is clear about this, Prime Minister Qin is the only veteran who has experienced four emperors.He stands like a big tree in the court hall, no matter how the throne changes, it will not shake his position.

"Being a courtier is nothing more than serving the emperor and this country. I have been obsessed with this way for decades, and I am almost unable to move." Prime Minister Qin traced the word "人" in the word "Servant", "I can't do it if I don't obey the old man." .”

"Prime Minister Qin's treasured sword is not old yet, and the common people cannot do without Prime Minister Qin, so why should he say that he is old?" Only then did he learn from the emperor that the emperor's health is worrying, but when he turned around here, he found that Prime Minister Qin had a strong heart to retire , Liu Feiran felt uneasy.

"It's time to abdicate, otherwise, it's time to stand in the way of others." Prime Minister Qin smiled lightly, "If the old man doesn't retreat, how can others advance? You...how can you go up again?"

Liu Feiran was stunned, and quickly denied, "I have never thought about the position of Prime Minister, let alone want to replace Prime Minister Qin, I am too young to bear the heavy responsibility, and please Prime Minister Qin not to misunderstand."

"There will always be such a day." When Prime Minister Qin said this, he had no intention of hiding it at all.His cloudy eyes seemed to be on the verge of death at this moment, "The old man will abdicate sooner this year, and later next year. At that time, Mr. Liang will take over the old man's position."

"However, Mr. Liang, this person, the old man said frankly, is mediocre, and there is nothing to worry about in a prosperous age, but in this troubled time, it is difficult for him to take on a big responsibility. The old man has never retired, because he has never seen anyone who can be the prime minister again. .”

"Now that this matter has been brought up again, Mr. Liu should know the reason." Prime Minister Qin said slowly, and just as Liu Feiran was about to speak, Prime Minister Qin waved his hand to stop him, "The old man is old, but the empress dowager is still young In the future, the imperial court will still depend on you young people."

"emperor……"

"The emperor summoned you today, is there a hint?" Prime Minister Qin seemed to know what the emperor had said to her, so he directly interrupted what Liu Feiran was about to say, "As you guessed, time is running out."

Liu Feiran frowned, "Why?"

"Great wisdom, three benefits, four idiots and five diseases." Prime Minister Qin said the comments of several princes that had been circulated in the imperial city before, and Liu Feiran felt sad, and it turned out to be as he had guessed. "It wasn't supposed to be so urgent, but some time ago, Prince Jing's mansion was bloodbathed and he was injured again. Coupled with the bumpy road, the root cause of the original illness broke out."

When Prime Minister Qin mentioned this matter, he was also full of worries, "Whether it is an imperial doctor or a well-known doctor in the world, there is no solution."

"This..." Liu Feiran asked with a heavy heart, "Time is running out, why is it so pressing?"

"The shortest is two years, and the longest is three years."

Liu Feiran's body trembled, if three years later, Chu Yuchen would only be ten years old, this is...Young Emperor.

"Of course, I have dedicated myself to death, but I am too old to do what I want. I wanted to let my son enter the imperial court, but my son is not an official." Prime Minister Qin sighed, "I will still look for a lot. Good doctor, but dare not have much hope."

"Who else knows about this?"

"No one else knows except you." Prime Minister Qin tapped his fingers on the table and made a dull voice, "Master Liu, when you were not an official, the old man has already noticed you. All these years, the old man has also watched You have come to today step by step, for you, the old man, you are at ease now. I hope you can remember the following words. "

Liu Feiran heard the sternness in Prime Minister Qin's words, and quickly said in a respectful voice: "I will definitely remember this in my heart, and ask Prime Minister Qin to teach me."

"Being a subject is nothing more than serving the monarch. A servant is a person first. The reason why a person is a person is because he can think and understand good and evil." After Qin Prime Minister finished speaking, his finger moved to the earth character in the word Servant.

"Soil, generosity and loyalty, is the foundation of our foothold. If we leave the land we are stepping on, we will achieve nothing. The most taboo thing for young people is to aim high and have no eyes. I hope you can keep your feet on the ground and don't get carried away."

"Cun, there is no black and white in officialdom. There are no purely good officials and bad officials. Corrupt officials are not bad officials. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. The old man hopes that you will be measured when you do things. Mr. Liu is young but holds a high position. , but it’s also a heavy burden.”

After Prime Minister Qin finished speaking, he suddenly pressed his finger on the paper, and then wiped it, leaving a black mark on the paper, "Lord Liu, there are many things that not everyone will agree with, but using some thunderous means will inevitably Causes resistance. Blackness is inevitable, but it’s just the heart, and I hope to keep it.”

Prime Minister Qin raised his hand, the ink on the fingertips had been wiped off, and a smear of white on the fingertips was extraordinarily obvious in the surrounding black ink.

Liu Feiran looked at Prime Minister Qin's fingertips with slight shock, let out a breath, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I would like to follow Prime Minister Qin's instructions."

"Now there are three things that cannot be delayed. The first one is to teach the empress dowager to become a talent, but it is also urgent. The second is that the Taiwei has ulterior motives. Although he can't be moved now, if he is delayed until the empress dowager succeeds , I am afraid that no one in the court will be able to move. The third thing is the matter of the vassal king."

"The feudal king?" Liu Feiran obviously did not expect to mention the feudal king.

"Yes, the vassal king." Prime Minister Qin nodded, "In two months, it will be the day when the vassal king enters the palace to pay homage. The matter of the previous emperor was too sudden, and the vassal king has not yet reacted. Now that the new emperor is enthroned, what I am afraid of is They're up to no good."

"Furthermore, the vassal kings guarded the frontier in these years, and there were constant wars. On the contrary, because of the successive years of wars, the soldiers were strong and strong, and because the imperial court relied on the military strength of the vassal kings, they were confident, and they often asked the court for military expenses. How much of it was used for fighting is unknown. Got it. If they really harbor evil intentions, Qi Cheng will be in a dire situation."

Liu Feiran's mood became heavier the more he listened, Prime Minister Qin continued: "Your Majesty can't sleep at night because of this matter, and the only thing we can do now is to send the sons of the vassal princes to Qicheng, hoping that they will be able to fight against the rat."

Liu Feiran's lips parted slightly, and he spit out two words, "Proton."

The two chatted in the study for a long time, until the end of the moon, the old and the young came out of the study.The prime minister's mansion had already been lit with lanterns, and the bright lanterns illuminated the eaves. On a windless night, the remaining snow on the ground brought a feeling of coldness.

Qin Xuanke was holding the stove in his hand, and was wearing a cloak, leading the girl towards Prime Minister Qin's study.After passing through a porch, there is the courtyard of the study.Qin Xuanke was very familiar with this road, so she didn't pay attention, but when she turned around, she felt a figure approaching.

Qin Xuanke was taken aback, thinking that he was about to run into each other, but found that the other party had stopped in his tracks.

"Ke'er, why are you here?" Prime Minister Qin asked with some doubts.Qin Xuanke raised her head when she heard the voice, and saw her grandfather looking at her kindly, and standing beside her was a white man, about half a head taller than herself, with a thin body.

Qin Xuanke took a closer look, but saw that this person had an incomparably handsome face. Standing there, he seemed as tall and straight as a bamboo, yet as elegant and calm as a plum blossom.

"I've met Miss Qin." Liu Feiran heard Prime Minister Qin's address, and knew that this person was Prime Minister Qin's granddaughter, so he saluted.

The corners of Liu Feiran's lips were smiling, and the soft brows added to the gentleness of a woman. She was originally beautiful, but she also had a heroic spirit that other women did not have, and her personality was calm and elegant, which made her unique charm.

Qin Xuanke was fascinated for a moment, and then heard her voice as warm and comfortable as running water. She quietly returned to her senses, and smiled back, "I think this is the famous Master Liu, right? My little girl is so polite."

"Don't dare to do it." Liu Feiran said politely, and said to Prime Minister Qin: "Listening to the prime minister's words today is better than reading ten years of books. This matter must be remembered by the lower officials. It is late at night, and the lower officials are inconvenient to disturb, so I will leave first. gone."

"That's very good, come and send Master Liu off." Prime Minister Qin said, stroking his beard.Liu Feiran saluted again, and then went out with the housekeeper.

Qin Xuanke stared at the man's calm back and was speechless.

Prime Minister Qin teased, "Ke'er, everyone is gone, so don't look any further."

Qin Xuanke regained consciousness, showing a little shyness on his face, and said emotionally: "I understand why so many young ladies gathered around to watch Master Liu when he returned to the city."

Prime Minister Qin said with a chuckle: "Fortunately, Mrs. Liu is not a man, otherwise, the little ladies in Qicheng would not need to marry. However, it is a pity that she is not a man, otherwise she would be a perfect match for our Ke'er."

Qin Xuanke's mind was shaken by these words, and she couldn't help but look in the direction of the person's departure again, but there was no one there.
