Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 243 Clues

"What did Xu Ben talk to you about today?"

A copper pot was set up in the hall, tumbling with steaming bubbles, Shao Zhi picked up a piece of tender mutton and rinsed it, and asked Chen Yunfu who was sitting opposite.

The latter was busy picking up vegetables for Shao Ning, so he said without raising his head.

"It's nothing, Xu Ben asked me if I planned to be Duke Wei Yang."

Shao Zhi's hand paused, and continued to stir: "What do you say?"

"The fate of Wei Yanggong is not very good. I asked him if he can protect me in ten years." Chen Yunfu said lightly: "Ning'er, eat more meat, what's so delicious about the vegetarian dishes."

"If you don't eat, you're too oily. Can't you see that Miss Ben is gaining weight now?"

Seeing that Chen Yunfu was still in a leisurely mood, Shao Zhi frowned and said, "So, are you really planning to get serious this time?"

"Of course, you can't joke about the national policy of this country."

Chen Yunfu laughed, and raised his glass to greet Shao Zhi and his father: "Come and drink."

"Ha~"

Putting down his cup, Chen Yunfu said, "What about Xu Ben, what about the legacy of the Xunmeng Revolution? He was worried that if I did this, there would be a Xunmeng Revolution in the Ming Dynasty ten years later, and the two factions would fight each other." For hundreds of years, the country has been dragged down by bloodshed.

So Xu Ben felt that there was a high probability that I would become King Jinggong, not Wei Yanggong. Even if I did become Wei Yanggong, I would end up miserable. "

"It's really something to think about." Shao Zhi picked up the cooked meat, but put it into his mouth without any intention, he just kept frowning and said: "Anyway, you are also Ning'er's husband, It's Jinghe and Yaxi's father, ten years later you will only be in your 30s, you have to think about it."

At this time, Shao Ning put down her chopsticks, put her hand on Chen Yunfu's arm nervously, and looked at the latter worriedly.

"What is my father talking about, why does it sound so scary?"

"It's okay, let's eat your food." Chen Yunfu said with a relaxed face: "Don't listen to my father-in-law talking about it, what big things can happen."

Shao Ning pointed at Chen Yunfu: "Don't coax me."

"Don't worry, hurry up and pour wine for our father."

Chen Yunfu took Shao Ning's hand away and continued: "Yue Zhang, don't take this matter so seriously. Many things are like this. You find it difficult to do it when you stand outside and see it. In fact, you can actually do it yourself. It’s not difficult at all, but the difficulty lies in the lack of determination. Many of us are actually short of a little determination and courage, so we are envious of fish in the abyss.

Even if one day, there is really nothing to do, please rest assured that I am fully prepared, at most, just delay me a little more time. "

Shao Zhi chewed the meat in his mouth, a cluster of lights suddenly lit up in his eyes.

"You mean, stay in office after ten years?"

"No, no, no." Chen Yunfu waved his hands again and again: "I agreed to retire after ten years, and I must retire. Even if I don't want to retire, someone will definitely let me retire."

"Who?"

"Zed."

Hearing this name, Shao Zhi groaned in surprise, while Shao Ziheng who was sitting beside him hurriedly said: "Then Yunfu, since you know Qi De will be bad for you, why didn't you drive him away first. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Zhi knocked his hand with chopsticks, and Shao Ziheng let out an ouch in pain.

"Eat your meal, is there a place for you to interject here?"

Shao Zhi put on a straight face and scolded, Shao Ziheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.

The family banquet was back to the family banquet, but the identity of the speaker meant that it was not Shao Ziheng's turn to express his personal opinions here.

It was Chen Yunfu who doted on Shao Ning, but Shao Ning was not good at reprimanding her.

But after scolding Shao Ziheng, Shao Zhi also looked at Chen Yunfu, very puzzled.

"Zide will definitely drive me away in ten years. I'm afraid that he will drive me away in less than ten years. If that's the case, it will be a little more troublesome for me."

Seeing Chen Yunfu's still relaxed face, Shao Zhi was worried for him.

"Then you don't want to think of a way? Yes, my father knows that Na Qide was left by the Supreme Emperor to target you, and he is now His Royal Highness' Donggong teacher. He will definitely occupy a high position in the future, and even succeed you as the chief assistant of the cabinet, but now after all It's your country, so you can't indulge him all the time.

In addition, you said just now that it would waste your time, and you said that Qi De would definitely let you quit the cabinet in ten years, and you have all retired from the cabinet. How can you start talking about the time delay. "

"Those who have become officials can still return to office, but if they retire from the cabinet, they can no longer join the cabinet?"

Chen Yunfu laughed, raised his glass and said, "Yue Zhang, there are some things that cannot be rushed, you have to be patient, just like the hot pot we eat now, you have to boil the pot first to cook the meat, don't rush."

Picking up the cup, Shao Zhi thoughtfully touched it with Chen Yunfu, leaned his neck back and drank it with a sigh of relief.

"Since you have already made up your mind, the old man didn't ask any more questions, but the old man was worried about you. After all, the tea is cold, and after you are no longer in this position, many people will change.

Then again, after ten years, the old man will probably retire, and there will still be a few of his own people in the court, so once Qi De has the power in his hands, I'm afraid there will be a big change.

In addition, Huang Ting, Tian Shigong and others are people who follow others, if you leave, they will join Qi De's family. "

"That's right." Chen Yunfu nodded frequently: "People like them will not only fall over like weeds on the wall, but I guess they will also throw stones at me.

There is something to say.

If one day I was pushed down by the crowd, they would definitely remember to push me too, otherwise, they would be scolded by the crowd. "

Chen Yunfu picked up the cup and gestured to Shao Ziheng: "Brother Ziheng, when that day comes, you have to remember to give it a push, otherwise, your official career will not last long, haha."

The latter faltered nervously: "Yunfu, don't worry, I will never be that kind of person."

"Uh, hahahaha."

Chen Yunfu was startled for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, then thank you brother Ziheng, come and drink."

"The old man has admired you for so many years. It seems that you are naturally prophetic about everything in the world. It's no wonder that even the Supreme Emperor can't do anything about you."

Chen Yunfu, who was drinking, had no time to speak, but waved his hands repeatedly.

He waited until he drank the wine and then said: "Yue Zhang is really flattering and killing me. The Supreme Emperor is not helpless with me, but he has nothing to do with His Majesty today. I'm giving it to you.

Back then, if I hadn't known that the Supreme Emperor valued His Majesty so much, I wouldn't have become an official, let alone met Ning'er and you today. "

"Join an official."

Shao Zhi's thoughts were pulled back to ten years ago.

"In other words, you have thought about everything since ten years ago."

"Not to mention, I really didn't think so far back then, I can only say that I am stupid and bold." Chen Yunfu grinned: "Not to mention that in ten years, I can really make a cabinet, the first cabinet chief of the Ming Dynasty Fu, tsk tsk, it's like his mother is dreaming."

"What dirty words are you talking about?"

"What's wrong with the old men saying a few dirty words?" Chen Yunfu winked at Shao Ning: "It's not the first time I said it."

"Hey, it hurts."

Shao Zhi hurriedly clenched his fist and coughed a few times, and then restrained Shao Ning, who got up.

"Father, my daughter is full, let's chat."

While turning his head and walking away, he did not forget to give Chen Yunfu a hard look.

"Then are you ready now?"

When Shao Ning's back disappeared, Shao Zhi opened his mouth with a slightly dignified tone.

Chen Yunfu nodded after pondering for a while: "If there are no accidents, it's almost done."

"How sure are you?"

"It's hard to say."

Chen Yunfu shook his head and smiled: "Marquis Zhuge Wu would never have dreamed that he would die before he was born. Most of the time, it's really up to people to make things happen. Let's finish the next few years. I'll take a closer look at that time." Where there are omissions, if everything is in order, then there is no need to worry.”

"Then, do you think it's worth it?"

"Father, I have been the chief minister of the cabinet since I was in my 20s. In the next few decades, I must add some color to my life."

Chen Yunfu picked up the cup and drank it down, laughing loudly.

"Unfortunately, the Supreme Emperor's Zen throne has been given to His Majesty. Playing a game alone is much more boring."

Shao Zhi's pupils tightened.
