I just like the Prime Minister

Marquis Fengcheng and Elder Jiang Ge heard the words "Aiqing, you are forming a party for personal gain" from the emperor's words, and they almost knelt down from their chairs to the ground to show their innocence.

As an emperor, he hates the close personal relationships among his ministers, wishing that everyone under him would be choked to death, but still loyal to the emperor and patriotic is the best, especially for important ministers, he prefers to play high-end games and find a "balance" technique, just like The first emperor deliberately supported Fengcheng Hou and his relatives against the emperor's eldest son and mother's family.

But after all, once the emperor and the courtiers, it is up to the first emperor who he is willing to use, and who Li Chengzuo is willing to use, it all depends on whether he is full and happy.

The Marquis of Fengcheng understood the meaning of the first emperor very well, and lived up to the expectations of the emperor's eldest son and mother's family. He fought a life-and-death battle with the emperor's eldest son's family, and even managed to keep his back-hands - he put his nephew next to Li Chengzuo.

But Li Chengzuo's words forced him to feel that the imperial capital in this muddy water was about to change again.

Jiang Xizhu didn't keep up with his uncle's unrestrained imagination and uneasy worries about the future of the family. He worshiped the prime minister at a young age and had a stable position. He only heard about these messy party disputes. After all, he was not skilled. It was analyzed that Li Chengzuo didn't like their family, but Jiang Xizhu only briefly heard from his words that he was looking for trouble.

General Pei Min's second son, Pei Wenyuan, was the same age as Jiang Xizhu, and more coincidentally, they were born on the same day, the same month, and the two were born on the day they were born.

There are many aristocratic families in Beijing, and they often marry each other, and they are all relatives. From Jiang Xizhu's generation alone, because his second uncle's cousin married Pei Wenyuan's aunt's cousin, they are all relatives. He and Pei Wenyuan are the same age and have played together since childhood.

Later, Jiang Xizhu was ordered to go to the East Palace to accompany the prince to study, and Pei Wenyuan was obsessed with the art of war and martial arts and went to take the martial arts exam. Although the contact was rare, it was not alienated.

Later, when the first emperor passed away, Li Chengzuo ascended the throne in a logical manner, and Jiang Xizhu, who was well-known in his studies with the prince, entered the cabinet military plane as the emperor's cronies, and was very busy; Pei Wenyuan went to guard the border with his father, Marshal Pei. The official is a soldier, and each of them is loyal to the country across half of the land of Dayu. In fact, they don't see each other once throughout the year.

However, in private, the two of them admired each other, the prime minister with brilliant literary talent and amazing talent, and the general who was full of heroic spirit, only in terms of becoming famous at a young age and family background, Jiang Xizhu and Pei Wenyuan could be regarded as shining brightly for a while.

But Li Chengzuo always dislikes Pei Wenyuan, a person who protects his family and country, for no reason.

It stands to reason that Li Chengzuo, as the noble son of the first emperor, has been a prince and master since birth. Although it is indeed pity that his mother died early, the empress who took care of him later was his aunt. From a point of view, Li Chengzuo's life is already beyond the average level, there is really no room for envy, envy and hatred for anyone, and there is no stunned young man who is impatient to live to offend the future emperor who is the prince of the dynasty.

Pei Wenyuan is a martial artist, and his straightforward temperament is not comparable to that of a literati, but after all, he is a rich man who grew up in the rich and powerful nest of the capital. It is true, but he is not stupid, and he will definitely not take the initiative to provoke Li Chengzuo's taboo.

The reason why Li Chengzuo disliked Pei Wenyuan is still a mystery.

Mostly, if you don't like a person, you will feel that this person is worthless, and it is more convenient to frame him and put some unwarranted charges on him.

Li Chengzuo, the prodigal emperor, can't do anything else.

Li Chengzuo's convulsions and cheating are continuous for three days. If it was in private, Jiang Xizhu would have said "Farewell, minister" and walked away. He would definitely not be an eyesore in front of the emperor every three or five days, but now in front of him Elder, he has to pretend to be a "loyalty and filial piety" to whitewash the peace.

"I haven't seen General Pei Shao for several years." Jiang Xizhu said with a blank face, "The front line is urgent, and personal friendship can't change the situation of the battle and can't determine the outcome. I am more concerned about the people of Liaodong and the frontline soldiers."

The moody emperor didn't know which sentence in this passage made his heart go, his stern face calmed down slowly, and he squeezed out a slightly miserly smile, but the peach blossom eyes that were ready to find fault at any time were still there. He didn't retreat, but squinted his eyes, and said: "Aiqing has worked hard, the ancients said, 'Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep', if you have anything to say, it's not too late to say it after lunch."

Jiang Xizhu sat down with a dull expression, and never looked at him again. Prime Minister Jiang was born in a family, and he behaved like a gentleman. He definitely didn't have the bad habit of hiccupping and picking his teeth. He ate so elegantly and quietly. Eat without talking, sleep without talking" was carried out thoroughly, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was silent and awkward.

In this silence, Li Chengzuo finally realized belatedly that he seemed to have offended someone, touched his nose, and silently condescended to pick up a chopstick dish for Jiang Xizhu.

But when did this ancestor serve others?He held the chopsticks firmly, but the timing was not good. Before he reached the boundary, he touched Jiang Xizhu's hand that had just been raised. Jiang Xizhu didn't realize that Li Chengzuo's hand was turning towards his bowl. His hand didn't intend to take it away at all, so he hit it right, and the whole chopstick dish fell to the table with a "slap", and the juice splashed all over the place, and it probably couldn't be buckled.

Well, it's even more embarrassing now.

Jiang Xizhu looked at the leftovers on the table in astonishment, and then at Li Chengzuo, who looked like a wolf with a big tail, and felt that this meal was really uneatable.

Jiang Xizhu took a deep breath and stood up: "Dining at the same table with the emperor is a gift, but it's a disappointment for the minister to be unwell, so it's better for the minister to step down."

Li Chengzuo looked at him with peach blossom eyes, neither saying yes nor no, he lost his temper with a sense of grievance, the light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say whether it was to persuade him to stay or to go .

Jiang Xizhu lowered his head, became ruthless, bowed politely, turned and left.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a "snap" behind me, as if someone had thrown the chopsticks.

—————————————————————

One sentence caused such an unhappy breakup, and the first thing Jiang Xizhu did after returning to his room was to throw away the candied haws that had turned into sugar water.

Jiang Xizhu opened the window, and the smell that had lingered for a long time finally dissipated in the cold spring.

Not wanting to go out to face that bastard and make things difficult for him, Jiang Xizhu was going to stay in the study. Anyway, the mansion will send the saint back to the palace with great care, and he will send it off when the time comes.

Prime Minister Jiang’s study room is full of sage’s words, each of which is about the way of a gentleman. Jiang Xizhu grew up listening to these shocking arguments, but it’s actually a bit annoying—it’s true, ordinary people’s sons are in their twenties At a young age, there is more than enough calmness, and there is too much relaxation.It's just that Jiang Xizhu is an official worshiping the prime minister, and his position is high and powerful, so he must not be regarded as an ordinary youth. Moreover, he has always been strict with himself, so he read a lot of books in order to seek the right way in the world, but he is a young man who still has a rebellious heart in his heart. People, after hearing too many great principles, always feel empty.

Jiang Xizhu walked through the row of bookshelves, and took out an obviously updated thread-bound book at the very end, flipped through two pages, and read it interestingly.

The name of this book is "Phoenix Tower". It is not like the current popular sour book that writes about gifted scholars and beautiful women who do not follow the rules. It is mean but vivid, and now in the capital, everyone from the dignitaries down to the common people admires this book, calling it "the most amazing book in ancient and modern times".This kind of masterpiece that appeals to both refined and popular tastes is generally banned by the government soon after being circulated. What's more, this book's words are sharp, and it may be a matter of time before it is banned.

The author of "Phoenix Tower" calls himself "Sanbian Layman". It is said that he is a down-and-out scholar who has tried repeatedly, but no one has ever seen this person's true face, but Jiang Xizhu feels that this person is indeed talented, even if he cannot be a scholar. A man of extraordinary intellect, he has never judged a hero by success or failure.

Speaking of which, Jiang Xizhu didn't buy this book - Prime Minister Jiang is very busy every day, thanks to the emperor's mischief to get this moment of leisure, he naturally has no time to observe the market.

This book was left behind by Miss Song Yingluo, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Fengcheng, when she came to the Xiangfu to play.

It stands to reason that the daughter of Lord Hou's family, a lady of a generation, is absolutely not allowed to see these "absurd rumors" outside, but Ms. Song is not an ordinary lady, and her hot temper has completely inherited from the Hou family. The trace of blood of the general, and Lu Zhishen's bright and melancholy hang in his whole body, not to mention that she is just watching a market gossip, even if she wants to see a live erotic palace, she can carry a big sword and force people to perform it live.

The wonderful book that can make Ms. Song come to visit the Prime Minister's mansion and still miss it, it is a swan song when it comes to thinking about it, and it must be scratching my head when it falls, but it is too troublesome to exchange a book, Ms. Song is very generous, so she sent her maid to buy another one. This book, this book fell into Jiang Xizhu's hands.

When Li Chengzuo secretly touched the outside of Jiang Xizhu's study, what he saw was the gentlemanly prime minister reading a book with lowered eyebrows in the study.

The scroll is as passionate as an old friend, but it is easy to get rid of it.

Outside Jiang Chengxiang's window is the spring shade courtyard with faint pear blossoms, the willow catkins wind blows gently and shakes the shadow of the gauze curtain, the piano is not touched, the chess is not closed, the spring is cold and deserted in the shadow of Bixi.

Jiang Xizhu frowned slightly, reading the book without paying attention to Zhou Ran, he was thin, with gentle brows and eyes, sitting upright in this quiet and picturesque back mansion, showing a desolate and unrestrained body.

Li Chengzuo smiled slightly outside the window, his peach blossom eyes curved like a crescent moon, just leaned over, but saw the provocative name mentioned on the cover page of the book, which was "Phoenix Tower", and he was stunned for a while with a poor expression, Suddenly laughed again.
