I just like the Prime Minister

Heroes don’t suffer from immediate disadvantages, but Taoist Zixu is deceived and deceived in the arena... Oh no, he has been in power for so many years, so he naturally knows that if he fails to act this time under the eyes of everyone, he, the sage of Jinkou Yuyan, will also be marked as a "sacred stick" Charlatan"—although in a sense, there's nothing wrong with that.

It's just that in this way, he is unlucky, and Li Chengzuo, a little bastard, can't get any good.

Daoist Zixu has a broad mind that can be bent and stretched, and he doesn't care at all for the mighty and unyielding integrity of loyal ministers and righteous men. He came out to salute with a smile, covered the top of his head with his hands in a bow, and decisively went to the newly promoted "backer" - Prime Minister Jiang , made a series of coquettish winks, and almost turned around and bowed to him.

Jiang Xizhu was left speechless by the national teacher who said "everyone like him must have his teacher". He raised his head slightly and looked at the emperor who was sitting on the throne and was so unreasonable. He couldn't laugh or cry. Old enough to go down the mouse hole.

The master and apprentice confronted each other, Li Chengzuo was about to watch the excitement, and Taoist Zixu was desperately passing on the lingering glances. The others didn't know what was going on, and they just stretched their necks and stood their ears waiting for the master's opinion.

If no one came to smooth things over at this time, the situation would probably become a stalemate.

Jiang Xizhu hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't get over his original intention of not wanting anyone to embarrass him. He took half a step politely and took over the silent situation.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Xizhu said, "Just now, the national teacher was discussing the method of subduing this beast with the minister, and he was talking about some key points. It's just that the minister is ignorant of martial arts and can't understand the techniques."

Li Chengzuo smiled with a vicious look of "the king's heart is very happy", looking from Jiang Xizhu to Zixu: "Okay, I knew that the national teacher has real knowledge, why did the national teacher keep silent in front of my face?"

Without saying a word, Zixu turned his head to Jiang Xizhu, showing a cheeky expression of "you are a good person and will do it to the end".

"..." Jiang Xizhu maintained his usual demeanor with some difficulty, and said politely, "It's not that the national teacher is silent, you can't subdue this beast with bare hands, I'm afraid you have to ask the emperor for something to do it... just now the national teacher... …Well, I’m too embarrassed to speak.”

Taoist Zixu was as good as he was, and immediately nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and then showed a shy expression of "exactly so".

Li Chengzuo's eyes were scorched by the thick-skinned old man's smile, as if he had a toothache, he didn't bother to look at him, and pretended to be excited to lie with the prime minister: "Oh? What is the magic weapon? This matter is related to the country. , I am rich in the world, no matter what kind of treasure, I will devote all the power of the whole country to find it for you."

Jiang Xizhu didn't say anything, his face was as calm as water, as if he was caught in the weighing of pros and cons.

He was originally born with a gentlemanly demeanor with clear eyebrows and light eyes, but when he calmed down now, his whole person took on a calm and thoughtful air of a sage, as if he had put the world's worries, pros and cons into his young and beautiful face. Qingjun's eyebrows added a bit of solemnity to the atmosphere at this time.

He pondered for a while, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, bowed slowly, walked from the side of the imperial steps to Li Chengzuo's side, leaned over and said a few words beside Li Chengzuo.

The officials did not dare to look directly at Tianyan, and peeked with unsteady gazes. Seeing that the emperor and the prime minister showed a calm and concerned look, they did not dare to look any more, and looked away in a muffled voice.

Most people think that the emperor and the prime minister are worried about the "magic weapon" that will be used to subdue the Phoenix. Maybe this thing is not easy to find; maybe even if there is such a thing, the certainty of subduing the Phoenix is ​​still open to question; An errand that can be solved with one sentence - because everyone has this thought, naturally no one thought that what Jiang Xizhu leaned over and said in Li Chengzuo's ear had nothing to do with the farce caused by the current Khitan people.

Jiang Xizhu said: "Your Majesty, enough is enough."

There are multiple meanings derived from this sentence. It can be understood as "don't hold on to the Taoist priest Zixu anymore", it can also be understood as "don't play with civil and military officials", and it can even be understood as "the excitement is almost the same now." Let's think about things right now"...

All in all, Jiang Xizhu asked Li Chengzuo to cut through the mess quickly and muddle through this deadlocked banquet.

Li Chengzuo accepted it as soon as he saw it - he knew that the discussion would lead to no results, and he was just making use of it.

Baiguan saw Li Chengzuo frowned slightly, showing a short "sudden realization", and then fell into deeper consideration.

The prime minister beside him had straightened up, bowed his head slightly in front of His Majesty the Emperor, his body was thin but tall, and his expression was calm, as if he was waiting for the Emperor's final decision.

With displeasure on his face, Li Chengzuo raised his eyes and scanned all the people in Ziguang Pavilion. His eyes carried the silent coercion of the emperor, and calmed down the guessing eyes of the crowd into "peaceful and peaceful", After a while, Li Chengzuo slapped the armrest of the throne heavily, stood up, and said in a low voice, not very interested: "This matter is of great importance, and this matter needs to be discussed again. I am tired, let's stop here today! Lao Qi, Jiang Aiqing, Guo Master, before going to court tomorrow morning, go to the imperial study and wait for my order."

He didn't stop, and left the stage without hesitation amidst the shouts of long live that all the ministers looked at each other but had to continue.

Dayu, from the emperor down to the officials, was still immersed in the aftermath of troubles, and in the shadow of the farce, a man quietly left the stage with a gesture of pulling two to five to eighty thousand people. In the post house, he waited until the person who escorted him walked away silently in the night, and then he put his upturned nostrils at the same level as the ground, and his arrogant arrogance turned into a shadow full of calculations in the dark night.

He peeled off the complicated decorations for the banquet, like an onion peeling off the outer skin of his hot eyes and revealing the hotter eyes inside, making sure that there are no one else in the streets before and after nightfall, he jumped up, from the red hanging The post house of the lamp came out over the wall, turned over familiarly along the criss-crossing night alleys of the capital, and came to the door of an inconspicuous courtyard, knocked on the door long and short, and there were already people waiting there.

There were two people in the room, one sitting and the other standing, when they heard the sound of someone entering the door, the one who was sitting remained motionless, and the one who was standing looked back.

This person has a foreign appearance that is obviously not from the Central Plains. He is tall and his face is cold and hard. He is clearly a Khitan.He didn't see any extravagant clothes around him, he was dressed in a heroic style, he was obviously not a nobleman, when he turned his head and saw the Khitan envoy coming in, he just nodded indifferently as a greeting.

In front of Li Chengzuo, the inexplicably confident Khitan envoy who held "I am not my emperor, I will not kneel" showed a respectful expression when he saw this Khitan warrior. : "Mr. Xiao, it's an honor to meet you here."

Mr. Xiao nodded, and signaled the messenger with a cold expression to omit these unnecessary courtesies.

"Both the strange beast and the old Taoist priest have been handed over to the Emperor Dayu." The Khitan envoy recalled and hesitated. , I didn’t expect him to be very alert. If it wasn’t for some troubles in the middle, he would almost be confused by him—Mr. Not just martial arts."

Mr. Xiao's face remained calm, and he asked for a while, "Have they found a way to subdue the beast?"

"Not yet." The Khitan envoy thought for a while, "When I left, they were trying various methods in a hurry, but nothing worked. You know, we lost countless warriors when we captured this strange beast. With someone's advice and some coincidental luck, it is impossible for us to put this strange beast in a cage. What's more, these losses are only enough for us to catch it, but we have no way to deal with it. "

Mr. Xiao sneered when he heard this.

This emissary's bluffing ability is enough, but in other respects, after all, it is still a little bit worse, but he didn't show this intention, but turned his eyes coldly, looking at the one who didn't look at him from the beginning, but smiled faintly. People sitting inside.

As if sensing Mr. Xiao's gaze, the man raised his head slightly, his face reflected the shadows of different shades of candlelight under the light of the flickering candle.

Only now did the Khitan envoy see clearly that this man had black hair and black pupils. He was 30 years old and possessed the elegance unique to people from the Central Plains. There is no way, it’s just that you are not the one who can handle it—this beast only recognizes one owner in its life, but unfortunately, this person is already dead, even if Li Chengzuo is unfathomable, he can’t find a dead person .”

This man is a refined and handsome person, and he has a strange coquettish smile. The Khitan envoy can't pick out the slightest fault on his surface, but there is always a voice in his heart telling the Khitan envoy repeatedly that this is a dangerous person and should not be blindly followed. Gullible, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Are you really sure that Li Chengzuo has nothing to do with this thing?"

The man looked up at him, as if he had sensed all the small thoughts in the messenger's heart, and showed a strange smile. This smile made the Khitan messenger feel as if he was suddenly strangled by the throat.

But this smile is only for a moment.

In the next moment, his smile and even all his expressions disappeared into the air along with a faint black smoke from the candlelight.

"What the envoy said is not unreasonable." He said, randomly curling his lips into a smile without a smile, "We people in the Central Plains say that it is a good habit to plan ahead, even if Li Chengzuo is really capable. When a person rises from the grave to the world, we should also have other preparations so that he will never be caught off guard."

"Mr. Xiao." He turned his face halfway, "I have already arranged another ally for us, even if he is not reliable enough, it is still possible for a while--I am inconvenient to walk in the rivers and lakes, please trouble your people, walk a little I’m going to Yecheng. Please tell your people that time is not with me, time is not for me, once the opportunity is missed, there may not be a next time.”

The author has something to say: I’m back, and the update will be resumed. It depends on whether it’s 3000 or 6000 per day. Let me sort out my thoughts.

It would be better to die than to pass the exam, please bless me, I just hope to pass it! ! !
