King's Landing [Rebirth]

On the next day, Wang Shu went to the morning court to change his court clothes, and hurried to the shogunate in the northern suburbs outside the city without resting for a while.

Everyone came out to greet him one after another, and they couldn't help being surprised to see him walking in a hurry. Zhao Changshi cupped his hands and asked, "The Prime Minister is so anxious, what happened?"

Wang Shuzhi glanced lightly, and seeing Sima Rong standing among the crowd, with the same concern in his eyes, he couldn't help softening his expression, went in and sat down with his open shirt, and waited for Sima Rong to take a seat beside him, before speaking. : "Early this morning, the emperor has ordered Qi Sui to go to Yongkang County."

Just as Sima Rong picked up the pen, he paused when he heard the words, and looked sideways at him.

Everyone was a little surprised, Zhao Changshi frowned and asked, "Hasn't the prime minister already made arrangements? Why did Qi Sui take the lead?"

Wang Shuzhi smiled: "Qi Sui represents the emperor. It's not that he took the lead, but that the emperor has made up his mind this time, and he is very afraid of us. Mr. Shan is a close minister of the emperor, and he has nothing to do with us on the surface. He recommends Mr. Shan It is the most reasonable, but now the emperor is against us, no matter who is recommended, as long as it comes from our mouth, he will not agree."

Zhao Changshi had already had a wrinkled face, but when he heard him say this, his eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose were all brought together, and he said in doubt: "So many ministers in the court put pressure, but the emperor is still unwavering. Could it be that he What is there to rely on, enough confidence to openly underestimate the opinions of so many great families?"

"That's not necessarily the case. The emperor made a lot of money this time. He only said that his elder brother was ill and asked someone to see him. It's just a family matter and a private matter, so there's no need to discuss it with great fanfare. In this way, we really don't have much to say."

Hearing Wang Shuzhi's words, everyone was stunned and thought: It is impossible for the Prime Minister's House to be ignorant of whether the emperor is relying on him or not. Now it seems that there are only wise people whispering in his ears.The news spread to the palace overnight, and the emperor had a countermeasure in the early morning of the second day. So quickly, it can be seen that this person must be in the palace...could it be Empress Yu?

Wang Shuzhi seemed to have guessed what they were thinking, and curled the corners of his lips: "I'm afraid Empress Yu will lose her composure. General Yu is about to return to the imperial court. We must be careful. But Qi Sui will leave Beijing tomorrow, and the most important thing at this time What matters is how to stop him." Then he turned to Zhao Changshi, "We must come up with a countermeasure within half an hour."

Zhao Changshi hastily responded respectfully.

After Wang Shuzhi finished explaining, he turned his head to look at Sima Rong, with a warm smile in his eyes, got up and walked to the desk where he was dealing with official documents, flipped through them, frowned slightly, and then told him to go out with him. Watching him climb to the top of the mountain, he turned and looked at him: "Yan Qing, are you still used to it these days in the shogunate?"

Sima Rong's face was calm: "I'm used to it."

Wang Shuzhi held his hand and pulled him closer, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, and looked deeply at his drooping eyebrows: "With your ability, you will be able to handle everything with ease, but I hope that everything goes well for you. Whatever difficulty you have, don't hide it from me."

Sima Rong suddenly felt his forehead was hot, and he withdrew his hand indiscriminately, turned around and looked at the river stretching to the horizon, and replied uncomfortably: "Yes."

Wang Shuzhi paused for a moment, and didn't intend to get any closer. He just smiled and said, "Yan Qing, I like to watch you climb high and look far away. Do you know why?"

Sima Rong turned to look at him puzzled: "Why?"

Wang Shuzhi raised his hand, moved his thumb lightly on one side of his brow, and said with a smile, "You are different from usual at this time."

Sima Rong's eyes paused, and he looked at him silently, waiting for him to continue.

Wang Shuzhi groaned with a smile: "On weekdays, you have always restrained some of your nature. Only at this moment, facing the vast mountains and rivers, is the most real."

Sima Rong looked at him quietly for a moment, seeing that he looked confident, he felt inexplicably wanting to laugh, turned his eyes quickly, but the corners of his lips raised slightly involuntarily: "If the prime minister is free someday, he can go to Changganli to set up a stall." Looking at people's faces, you must have no worries about food and clothing."

"Oh?" Wang Shuzhi raised his eyebrows and leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice, "Then would you like to sit by and collect the money for me?"

Sima Rong looked a little embarrassed, suddenly he was at a loss for words, so he looked at the rolling river and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Wang Shuzhi smiled lightly, stood side by side with him, and wrapped his arms around his waist. Seeing that his ear tips were slightly red and he was pretending to be calm, but he didn't push himself away, his eyes burned.

Sima Rong made him see that half of his ears were burning, but he still turned around with a sullen face and said calmly, "It's time to go down the mountain."

"Wait!" Wang Shuzhi stretched out his hand to pull him back, gently squeezed his chin to force him to look up at himself, staring at him with deep eyes, and said in a low voice, "Yan Qing, one day you will be so angry What are your plans?"

Sima Rong didn't expect him to ask such a sudden question, so he couldn't help but froze, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak, and just stared at him blankly.

Wang Shuzhi's eyes were filled with anticipation. Seeing him staring at him without avoiding, his heart throbbed. He leaned over and pecked his lips lightly, and then let go. Seeing some waves in his quiet eyes, he couldn't help pecking again. .

Sima Rong's breath was uneven, his mind was confused, and he wanted to take half a step back.

Wang Shuzhi's hand around his waist tightened, not letting him leave, staring at him quietly, but he still couldn't wait for his response, and finally pressed his forehead and smiled softly: "Go back."

When the two returned to the shogunate, the people inside cast their eyes over one after another, with unknown meanings.

Wang Shuzhi glanced at Sima Rong lightly, seeing that his expression was calm and at ease, he couldn't help but smiled inwardly.

He has never deliberately concealed his intentions, but anyone with a certain heart can see one or two of them. Yan Qing came to the shogunate at the beginning and has a close relationship with himself, so it is inevitable that people will not be misunderstood and despised, but Yan Qing doesn't care, and although he himself He was unhappy in his heart, but it was not good to be too protective. First, it hurt the harmony of the shogunate, and second, it also belittled Yan Qing's ability.

Just now, he just casually flipped through, and saw that there were a lot less documents, and those that were missing were more important. It must be that Master Ji was aggrieved and deliberately embarrassed.

As the chief bookkeeper, although he only needs to do some trivial matters such as handling documents, but because he is a close servant of the prime minister, not only his status is not low, but he is also highly respected.Now that the person in this position was replaced by Yan Qing who was inseparable from him all day, others naturally had many ideas.

Wang Shuzhi looked at everyone's expressions calmly, and then looked at Sima Rong's indifferent demeanor, he felt a little proud, and suddenly became curious about his origin.

Zhao Changshi stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, Qi Sui is having a banquet in the mansion tonight, and there is a cook in Qi's mansion who happened to be favored by Wei Zheng, so we might as well start from here." The previously discussed method was explained in detail.

Wang Shuzhi nodded: "Is the cook reliable?"

"Reliable."

"Okay, you can arrange it immediately."

"Yes."

After Wang Shuzhi finished explaining, he told Sima Rong to go back earlier, and sent him two more guards, and then he left with peace of mind.

Sima Rong turned around and returned to his desk, read the rest of the documents, finally put down his pen, walked up to Ji Li, and smiled slightly: "Master Ji."

Ji Li showed panic, and waved his hands again and again: "I am no longer a master bookkeeper, brother Yan Qing, please don't make fun of me."

"How dare you?" Sima Rong saw that other people glanced over, his expression did not change, he just said indifferently, "Brother Ji should still have some documents in his hand, judging from the importance of those documents, I should continue I'm calling you the master. It's just that the prime minister has an order to read all the documents. I don't know when Brother Ji will take out the rest? I can give the prime minister an explanation after reading it."

Ji Li looked surprised: "How could it be? I handed over all the documents to brother Yan Qing, brother Yan Qing didn't see it wrong, did he?"

"The document is intermittent, so how could I have read it wrong?" Sima Rong raised his hand to indicate to the desk, "If there is anything missing, brother Ji will know when he goes to see it."

Seeing that he was so serious, Ji Li had no choice but to look it up, and finally said with a puzzled face: "This is strange, but brother Yan Qing accidentally lost it?"

Seeing him like this, Sima Rong couldn't help but lower his eyebrows: "There are guards following me when I go in and out. If you lose something so easily, doesn't it mean that the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion are all incompetent?"

Ji Li's face was slightly stiff.

Ding Wenshi who was not far away said with a sarcasm: "Brother Yan Qing is so honorable, he is protected by the prime minister when he goes in and out. If he is so cautious, why bother to go to the shogunate every day? Just stay obediently in the prime minister's mansion and wait for the prime minister's favor." yes."

There was no embarrassment on Sima Rong's face, he just glanced at him lightly, the coldness in his eyes actually added some shocking power, thinking that Ding Wenshi was also yin and yang when he was discussing the northern Yanzhou Zhang Qin last time, so he couldn't help feeling a little bit Contemptuous, too lazy to pay attention to him, turned back to look at Ji Li: "Brother Ji, think about it again."

Ding Wenshi saw that he seemed to have never heard the sarcasm towards him, so he couldn't help feeling powerless as if he had punched the cotton with his fist. Seeing his disdain on his face, Ding Wenshi suddenly felt that he had lost face, so he sneered very unhappy.

"This..." Ji Li also shocked his momentum just now, thinking that he was just a servant, he immediately regained his confidence, patted his forehead and suddenly said, "Oh, I remembered! There are so many Haven't taken it out yet..."

Sima Rong looked at him quietly.

After Ji Li finished speaking, he chuckled at him: "But those documents involve the secrets of the shogunate, which is the most important thing, and you must not be careless. Brother Yan Qing used to serve people, so he must not be able to do these things, plus you I don't have a long time here, and I still can't handle the affairs of the shogunate, so I might as well learn more and wait until I get used to it."

Sima Rong laughed back angrily: "Brother Ji looks down on me, that's all. Don't you think the prime minister is a fool? The prime minister has read those documents just now, and he knows exactly what you have done. It should be the prime minister who promoted you. I value you, if you make a move on this matter, I'm afraid it will ruin your own future, so think twice."

Ji Li beat around the bush, but Sima Rong went straight. This made him unable to resist, and he couldn't help being stunned, deeply feeling that he had underestimated the person in front of him.

Everyone looked at Sima Rong again. They saw that he was neither humble nor overbearing before, only because he had the prime minister by his side, but today he is here alone, facing Master Ji's intentional embarrassment, but he is still indifferent, very calm, I am afraid it is a thought deep.

While everyone was thinking to themselves, Ding Wenshi got up and walked over, sneered again: "Brother Yan Qing really knows how to use chicken feathers as arrows, if the prime minister thinks that Master Ji did something wrong, he just brought it up, but you go to the top of the mountain with me Didn't the Prime Minister blame Master Ji for the wind blowing in his ears for so long? It's just a matter of sex, do you really think you are capable?"

All the people present were indifferent, Master Ji was even more surprised, he was just planning to make a small move, but if Ding Wenshi's provocation angered people, if things got bigger, he might not end well here.

Sima Rong squinted at him, smiled coldly, still ignored him, turned around and went back to sit down in front of his desk, dipped his pen in the ink, without lifting his head, and said: "Brother Ji is so cautious, it is really a blessing to the shogunate. , I'll learn first. It's just that so many documents are divided between you and me, it's like having two master bookkeepers, and the responsibilities need to be separated, don't you think?"

Ji Li thought to himself: "What do you mean by brother Yan Qing's words?"

Sima Rong smiled, and said as he wrote: "I will record how much I have and how much I lack, and hand it over to the Prime Minister at that time. I think Brother Ji will have no objection. But here are some irrelevant things, see After a long time, I only sorted out some superficial facts, and if I make any mistakes in the future, it depends on whether it is my own fault or the fault of incomplete documents."

Ji Li suddenly looked ugly.

Ding Wenshi said contemptuously: "It's a good plan to get rid of the guilt before starting to work for the shogunate."

Sima Rong still ignored it, put down his pen, got up and handed the thin booklet with clear entries to Ji Li, and said with a smile: "Brother Ji is so considerate of me, I am very grateful. This booklet has been written. Be clear, Brother Ji, please have a look. If you think it is appropriate, you can give it to the Prime Minister to seal. If Brother Ji thinks that I can handle the affairs of the shogunate, you can also destroy this booklet and give the rest of the documents to me. .”

Ji Li subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, and suddenly felt a chill down his back, and wanted to say something more, but found himself speechless.

"Brother Ji is very considerate, so such a small matter will not take too long, so I will wait for Brother Ji's reply tomorrow." After speaking, Sima Rong walked towards the door, passed by Ding Wenshi, and caught a glimpse of his contemptuous expression from the corner of his eye. He looked like a girl, without pausing in his steps, and stepped out of the threshold with a light push-up shirt.

Ding Wenshi was ignored by him many times, he felt that he was underestimated, and he was already resentful, seeing that he was about to leave now, he couldn't help but raised his voice and said: "Brother Yan Qing didn't refute what I said just now, it seems that he acquiesced. "

Sima Rong sighed helplessly, and turned to look at him: "Ding Zong repeatedly interrupted my conversation with Brother Ji, and his words were too harsh, so ignorant of etiquette, where is he more honorable than the Israelites?"

"You——!" Ding Wenshi gritted his teeth with an ugly expression, flicked his sleeves at the end, and snorted coldly, "Are you admitting it? If that's the case, you'd better stay by the prime minister's side. As a male favorite, he should be the master of the high-rise Fu Fanbo Huanxin, coming to the shogunate to point fingers will only increase the number of jokes."

Sima Rong laughed back angrily, raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Ding Zheng is so hot-eyed? Why don't you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly, take off your clothes, wash them, lie down on the couch and wait?"

Ding Wenshi's face turned dark immediately, he was anxious and angry: "Who's hot-eyed, you're now a male favourite!"

"Then why are you envious of me?"

"..." Ding Wenshi didn't expect to fall into his trap with a few words, his complexion changed drastically, he paused, and then suppressed his anger and snorted, "I'm just thinking about the sake of the shogunate, I just hope you know your duty clearly. "

"What Ding Zong said is very true. The prime minister knows people and makes good use of them. He must think that I can do my best for the shogunate, so I don't care about my background." Sima Rong smiled, "It's like Ding Zong, the prime minister must also think that Ding is superior in his career, so he doesn't care about your character."

Ding Wenshi was stunned for a moment, and the anger that had been suppressed with difficulty rose again.

Sima Rong ignored him, turned around and walked away, his figure was as tall as a pine, obviously he was not affected by this incident.

The guards who came out from the corners on both sides heard the quarrel just now, laughed "Pu Pu", and quickly followed Sima Rong out of the shogunate.
