Reincarnation of the powerful minister

After the alliance in Prince City, Daming and Beimo signed an agreement to stop troops and trade with each other, and the Hetao area would no longer be disturbed by the northern bandits. His reputation has thus reached its peak.

Elder Su Ge, who returned to the capital, slipped away in the middle of the court celebration banquet, and quietly came to Yang Shoufu's mansion in a carriage driven by Jing Hongchai.

Yang Ting asked for leave due to illness, so he was absent from the palace banquet tonight, but Su Yan heard from the Jinyiwei spies from Beizhen Fusi that he was not actually sick, but he had been depressed and sighed for a while.

"Your Excellency really wants to visit?" Jing Hong chased him and reminded him, "I think Yang Ting's attitude towards Your Excellency, I'm afraid he will even make an excuse not to see you, and when it is heard by the courtiers, will someone use it as a laughing stock? Taunting adults behind their backs?"

Su Yan said: "Of course I will. I'm not a big-named treasure, how can everyone like it. If I am rejected by Yang Shoufu tonight, it will be revealed in the hall tomorrow that I, Su, have a hot face and put others cold Ass jokes."

"Then why does your lord still want to see Yang Ting?" Jing Hongzhui wanted to turn around and leave with him.

"In order...to give him an explanation, let's also give myself an explanation." Su Yan said calmly, "I know, now that my reputation is in full swing, a few jokes are just dust on the hem of my clothes, and it will fall off if you dust it off. If you don't go, the gap between you and Yang Ting will be even more difficult to repair. A thorn stuck in your fingertips, no matter how small, will always make people feel uncomfortable. An ant nest on the embankment of a thousand miles."

Jing Hong recalled Su Yan's theory of "nipping bad things in the bud", and felt that the adults should take precautions, so she stopped persuading him.

"Of course, it's also because I think Yang Ting is a good person. In name, he is an uncle, but he is actually a friend. It's a pity to lose him because of this misunderstanding." Su Yan felt that the carriage stopped and lifted the curtain. At first glance, it was the main entrance of the Yang Mansion.

At this moment, there happened to be two Beijing officials standing outside the door, and their long followers were talking with the servants guarding the door. They seemed to want to visit the door, but they were finally rejected.The door of the mansion was closed again.

Su Yan thought for a while, then chased Jing Hong: "Ah Chai, let's go around to the side door. There is a bamboo garden in his house, it's a good place to relax in hot weather."

The carriage stopped outside the bamboo garden, the door was locked tightly, and no one answered the door after knocking several times.Su Yan muttered: "Do I have to climb over the wall?"

The fence was nothing in Jing Hong's eyes, and bringing people in was just a matter of lifting his legs, but Su Yan called out "wait", and immediately took off his outer shirt, wearing only a white mid-length singlet and soap-colored long sleeves. trousers, and chased Jing Hong: "Okay, send me in."

Jing Hong was stunned.

Su Yan hesitated and asked, "Do I have to take off another piece to show my sincerity?"

Jing Hongzhui immediately said: "No need! That's enough, enough! No matter what your status as an adult, you can't bear Jing's apology. Besides, it's not enough for such a small matter."

"I'm reading—I heard that this trick is very effective, especially when elder Ge uses it." Su Yan smiled with interest: "Let me try it."

At dusk, in the elegant house where the bamboo shadows danced, Yang Ting was reading a book by the lamp. He was dressed casually at home and did not wear a hat.

A servant came to report: "Master, Mr. Su Ge is visiting."

Yang Ting was taken aback: "Why did you let me in without asking?" Then he lowered his eyes and continued to read, "Just say that I'm unwell and can't see guests, so just send them away respectfully."

The boy looked embarrassed: "Mr. Su Ge came here in obscene clothes."

"Crack." The book in Yang Ting's hand fell on the table.He held his forehead and felt the pain for a moment, then sighed, "Forget it, you go and lure him in, and be quiet."

The servant responded and hurried away, and after a while, a young man wearing only a white singlet and black trousers came over, but it was the all-powerful Elder Su Yan and Su Ge.

Yang Ting waved the servant away, stood up to meet him, and asked with a stern face, "What's the meaning of Mr. Su Ge?"

Su Yan cupped his hands: "I heard that Master Uncle is not feeling well, so I came here to visit."

Yang Ting returned the courtesy: "It's okay to be a little ill, thank you Mr. Su Ge for your concern, and please dress yourself to avoid being misunderstood."

Su Yan asked back, "What's the misunderstanding?"

Even though Yang Ting was gentle by nature, he also showed displeasure at this moment, and his words became extremely sharp: "I misunderstood that I, Yang, was bullying others, and insisted on forcing you to such a point of disregard for decency. Misunderstood you Da Ming's number one official, would actually condescend to me, the nominal chief assistant, in order to gain his reputation for taking care of the overall situation!"

Su Yan said: "Uncle, do you have tea here?"

Yang Ting: "..."

Su Yan: "Water is fine too, I'm dying of thirst."

Yang Ting stared at him for a long time with the feeling of punching cotton, and finally turned around and went to the desk, and poured a cup of herbal tea into the cup.

He didn't hand over the tea, Su Yan went over to get it very consciously, gulped it down, and poured himself another cup.After drinking the herbal tea, he wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, sat cross-legged in front of the table, and said, "Master, you sit too, let's chat."

Yang Ting choked hard at his brazen aura, frowned and shook his head: "Sweeping the floor in a gentle manner, sweeping the floor in a gentle manner..."

Su Yan said: "The floor is very clean. You can sit on it directly without calling for someone to sweep it. I just want to tell you a story about a man in between."

Yang Ting: "...the middle one?"

Su Yan nodded: "Yes, the one in the middle. His name is Shen Qi. This story starts with the arrest of a Jin Yiwei commander named Feng Qu'e..."

As Yang Ting listened, his expression gradually became serious, and from serious to sometimes tense and amazed, sometimes depressed and sentimental, he slowly knelt down on the futon in front of Su Yan, and he couldn't help sighing repeatedly when he heard the danger: "Only very It is only by character that one can achieve extraordinary feats. Shen Qilang is indeed an extraordinary person!" When he heard that Emperor Jing Long was still alive, his expression changed drastically, and he blurted out: "Is this true?!"

Su Yan nodded.

Yang Ting was so shocked that his mind went blank: "You... why did you tell me such a confidential matter..."

"Because you once carried the emperor's real 'legacy' in your arms for two full months. You dared to accuse her of being a false edict in front of the empress dowager, and you dared to take on the important task of acting as an agent of government when the emperor left Beijing. It is said that you are indecisive, but I know that this is just an appearance, you Yang Ting and Yang Zuohai can stand the test and keep secrets, no matter how hard it is, your spine is bent by internal and external pressure, and you have never broken it!"

Yang Ting was completely stunned.

After a while, he murmured: "I never thought that you looked at me like this, and I never thought that behind the King Ning case, there is such an intricate truth hidden, such a painstakingly planned layout... …

"The emperor is a chess player, Shen Qi is a robber, and you, you are the chess eye that connects all chess moves!

"In this game, the emperor can't miss a move, Shen Qi can't make a wrong move, and you, Su Qinghe, can't miss a single person..."

Su Yan said: "I know that if the emperor disappears and the throne hangs in vain, there will be black hands behind the scenes to reap the fruits of victory. But the first time I saw Ning Wang Zhu Tanluo in Fengtian Palace, I suspected that he was related to the chess player." , or is itself a player.

"I want to make him numb and feel that the emperor is indeed killed, that's why Su Twelve dared to be so arrogant and domineering; I also want him to despise me, so that he won't suspect that he is using the prince to collude with Bei Mo What variables will be produced by the layout.

"I also know that those who dare not speak out about my domineering, or even accept it readily, may not be able to become allies; while those who really care about me are more heartbroken and disappointed by this, for example——Master Uncle you.

"That's why I'm here today. I took off my official uniform to show you that I, Su Qinghe, never forgot my roots no matter how high I climbed. People who believe in me are disappointed!"

Yang Ting was deeply moved, and sighed: "In terms of knowing people, I am not as far away as the teacher! But Qinghe, my indifference during this period is not because I hate your disrespectful words that day, but because I am worried that you will not be young. He was intoxicated with power, and since then he has embarked on the wrong path that all those who exercise power must go through, and finally slipped into the abyss of ruin." There were tears in his red eyes, and he beat his chest with his fist, "I really feel heartbroken for this. !"

Su Yan also had tears in his eyes, leaned over and choked with sobs and said, "Uncle Master has worked hard, Qinghe has been taught!"

Yang Ting leaned forward and stretched out his hand to support him: "The teacher said, 'Qinghe is a thousand-mile horse of our family', but now you are no longer a horse, you can be a teacher! Don't be ashamed of your heart, don't lose the hearts of the people, from now on you The road to go is longer and farther..."

As dusk fell, the lights all over the city turned on one after another. Jing Hong chased after the carriage outside the bamboo garden and waited for her lord who had obviously cried a lot. She couldn't help frowning and asked angrily, "Did Yang Ting insult you?"

Su Yan waved his hands again and again, and entered the car: "I'm not afraid of being scolded, I've never lost a slap in the face. But I'm afraid of being cut open to show my sincerity... Well, once he cuts it, I have to cut it too, and everyone is crying in the end." Haw, why bother!"

Jing Hongzhui immediately put the coat on him, tied the belt, and said: "So, sir, have you repaired the old one with Yang Ting?"

Su Yan said: "It should be. In fact, I hope he doesn't keep putting on a face to me. You see, his face is already long, and he looks like a horse when he hangs it. It will affect the view and make him look old. How about Take it easy, smile and smile ten years ago."

After Su Yan left, Yang Ting fell into deep thought. After a long time, he suddenly said: "I am tired of being an official, and I often sigh that 'the field will not return'. Why have I hesitated for so long? Now that the court is stable and the dust has settled, If you don’t retreat now, when will you wait?!”

He immediately laid out the blank paper, took a pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote the glossary:

Minister Yang Ting said: I am born with a gentle personality, indecisive in situations, embarrassing and heavy responsibilities, and I am suffering from various diseases, and I am more and more powerless. Therefore, please resign from the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, and pray for your majesty's approval.The imperial court is full of talents, and the cabinet is a place where outstanding people gather. There are many people who are more suitable to be the chief assistant than ministers, such as...
