Sheng Fu

Chapter 982 Ambition Ignited Unintentionally

Bazhou, inside the temporary prime minister's residence.

After the news from Xiongwu Prefecture was delivered to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bai Xiaowei was still leisurely drinking with Zong Liang.

Peanuts, beef, and a pot of plump lobster.

The room was steaming hot, and people's hearts could not help but feel a little hot as well.

"That's good now. Someone in Xiongwu Prefecture has taken the lead. Similar things will happen in other parts of the north. Chaos has already occurred." Zong Liang picked up the wine glass and said with a slightly complicated expression.

Bai Xiaowei did not expect that the county magistrate committed suicide.

What I didn't expect was that the county magistrate's attitude towards the new policy was so ambiguous.

Just like a shy woman, not explicitly refusing is equivalent to agreeing in disguise, but there are some words that cannot be said by the person involved.

Bai Xiaowei picked up a lobster from the steaming pot with his bare hands and began to peel the shell, as if it had nothing to do with him and he was not concerned.

"Do we need to express our attitude?" Zong Liang asked cautiously, looking at the Prime Minister's attitude.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaowei continued to busy himself with peeling lobsters. In fact, this kind of thing could be done by servants, but lobsters peeled by oneself would taste better.

"The North is not our territory, so what attitude do we need to express?" Bai Xiaowei asked back.

Zong Liang was confused for a moment and didn't know what was going on.

"Then let's continue eating and drinking?" Zong Liang responded with a little guilt.

Bai Xiaowei nodded. Before he knew it, the lobster was peeled. He ate it with gusto and commented, "This lobster tastes delicious. Perhaps it grew not far from Mingyue Mountain."

Zong Liang swallowed and wanted to continue speaking, but he really didn't know what to say.

However, Bai Xiaowei spoke first: "Are you anxious?"

"Are you worried about our unstable political performance? Or are you worried about your own job being in jeopardy?"

"Do you still think that this matter has something to do with us?"

Faced with the Prime Minister's questions, Zong Liang fell into a brief confusion.

Suddenly, Zong Liang suddenly realized, "So, this is the responsibility of His Royal Highness the Northern King, not yours. We are just here to provide work-for-relief and sort out the internal affairs in advance. Now, we are nearing the end, and these sudden events are not within our scope of responsibility."

Bai Xiaowei smiled implicitly and said, "Your brain finally brightened up for once."

There are many little tricks for passing the buck in official circles.

But the timing must be especially appropriate. As the new policy in the north becomes more and more intense, someone will always come to fill this hole, but that person is not Bai Xiaowei.

Bai Xiaowei has made remarkable political achievements in the north and has made great contributions.

And that Fu Cheng was His Royal Highness the King of the North, who was personally conferred by His Majesty.

Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of the North really has no concerns at all about the north where he is?

It is unavoidable that there are some things that deceive people in the officialdom. Bai Xiaowei can also deceive people and use others' strength to his advantage. However, Bai Xiaowei is low-key and he doesn't like to talk about these things.

Moreover, he also felt that Zong Liang's wisdom was still somewhat shallow.

If you want to promote Zong Liang in the future, it will probably be difficult to find a legitimate reason.

Perhaps this person can only be a role player who carries tables and benches, and is not suitable for performing on stage.

Besides, the new policy in the north has just begun. Compared with the turmoil in the south, it is really nothing.

Some things can be rushed, but there are some things that must not be rushed.

Whoever gets anxious will be blamed or suffer unexpected targeting and retaliation.

Regardless of whether the new policy can be successfully implemented in the future, Bai Xiaowei can only add fuel to the flames in secret and cannot shout about it openly. Inside the Northern Palace.

Fu Cheng had been drinking tea in the inner hall, accompanied by Helian Qingyi.

He was waiting, waiting for someone to be sent from the Prime Minister's Office, waiting for an imperial edict to arrive.

In Bazhou, many people have begun discussing the new policy.

It wouldn't matter if it was just a person who suffered a loss discussing the new policy, but most of the people discussing the new policy nowadays are rich people or low-level officials.

This is a bad sign, because such people may really do something unexpected.

The wait was long, and he knew that his title as King of the North was now in name only, but he had to go on.

Unfortunately, from noon till dark, no one came to knock on the door of the Northern Prince's Palace.

As the gentle night breeze blew into the inner hall, Fu Cheng raised his head and looked at the hazy night outside, and he finally laughed out loud.

"Forget it, we can't wait for anyone to come." Fu Cheng said.

Helian Qingyi asked in confusion: "Why? For such a big thing, someone has to express their opinion. Is the Prime Minister indifferent?"

After saying this, Helian Qingyi suddenly realized something.

Then, he sighed deeply and said, "So that's how it is. The Prime Minister wants to give up his post."

"You are the King of the North. In name, this is the government affairs that belongs exclusively to His Majesty the King of the North."

His wife's call of "Your Highness the King of the North" was a sigh from the bottom of her heart, but to Fu Cheng, it sounded more like a meaningful sarcasm.

The Southern King has real power, but the Northern King does not. This has become an open secret in the temple.

Many old officials in the officialdom were secretly mocking the seemingly glamorous Prince of the North.

The fire of the new policy finally burned Fucheng's trouser legs.

"Things are more complicated than we imagined." Fu Cheng said.

Helian Qingyi heard this and thought for a moment, "You're the one taking the blame?"

Fu Cheng nodded slightly, and Helian Qingyi's expression gradually became solemn.

"Don't worry, I will be safe." Fu Cheng said confidently and gently.

Hearing this, Helian Qingyi had no choice but to add more tea for her husband.

In fact, there were many more things that Fu Cheng couldn't say to his wife.

Fu Cheng has realized that the fact that the news about the new policy could spread so quickly was obviously intentional by some people. Yu Wenjun was the creator of the new policy and perhaps also the leader.

Both Bai Xiaowei and Xie Yiming had been to the battlefield of the Divine Realm to face life and death, and they both obviously knew about it. As for whether His Majesty knew about it, Fu Cheng couldn't say anything. But when he thought that Li Hongshan was in the Divine Realm, how could His Majesty not know about it?

A new policy is imperative.

Fu Cheng has never forgotten his poor background. Bai Xiaowei turned a blind eye to the affairs of Xiongwu Prefecture. This was not a hint to Fu Cheng, but a clear statement to Fu Cheng.

But is the current King of the North still the young man with the innocent heart he once was?
"This road is very difficult. After much thought, I can only help promote the new policy. Are you willing to accompany me on this difficult journey?" Fu Cheng looked at his wife with soft eyes and asked softly.

I thought my wife would be hesitant and hesitate, but her eyes lit up and she said, "Of course I am willing. I am your wife. Since we got married, we seem to have never had any outstanding achievements."

"I know even more clearly that I will be on the opposite side of the Han family and the Yang family in the future."

“We may even die.”

"But the road to the throne is never smooth."
