Prosperous advisors

Chapter 867
"Mu Xiang is too modest, please." Ning didn't talk too much, and directly erased the half-played chess pieces on the table and put them into the chess box, signaling Mu Qingyi to invite first.Mu Qingyi didn't care too much, picked up the white stone, thought for a while, then reached out and dropped the stone.Ning Tan smiled lightly and followed suit.

Brother Shujun also had some experience in chess, so he sat and watched the two play chess.I saw that the two of them came and went without giving in. Ning Tan played chess very fast. The brother Shujun who played chess with him for the first time could not even keep up with his rhythm. Thinking about it for a long time, but the opponent's moves can be made immediately, which once put a lot of pressure on Brother Shujun.But Ge Shujun soon found out that Mu Qingyi didn't have such a trouble. She would rather talk fast than she would, and she would not be in a hurry to slow down if she talked slowly.With a calm expression and a leisurely demeanor, he seemed to be an outsider than Ge Shujun, a bystander.

A game of chess lasted for nearly half an hour, and finally ended with Mu Qingyi winning a piece.Ning Tan didn't think there was any embarrassment, raised his eyebrows and praised: "Mu Xiang is really too modest. I haven't played chess so readily in many years. If I have time, I must ask Mu Xiang for a few more games."

Ge Shujun smiled and said: "Mr. Ning, is it really not fun to play chess with me?"

Ning Tan raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word, obviously acquiescing to Ge Shujun's words.Ge Shujun is good at chess, but in a place like Beihan, there is no one to compete with, so he is only good, far from being a master.It's a pity that, except for Ge Shujun, who is not considered a master, Ning Tan can't even find anyone to play chess with him, so it is inevitable that he will make random calculations and let someone cover Ge Shujun's face. The blow was so severe that even the only chess friend was gone.

"Mr. Ning was originally... from Xiyue?" Mu Qingyi asked curiously.Ning Tan doesn't look like a Northern Han.The reason for guessing that they are from Xiyue is only because Huaguo people rarely come to the Northern Han Dynasty, even if they can't survive in Huaguo, most of them will choose to go to Xiyue.Because of the environment in the Northern Han Dynasty when they first arrived, ordinary Hua people would hardly be able to survive without the help of others.Just like Mu Qingyi, even though someone took good care of her, she still fell seriously ill.

Ning Tan shook his head, smiled lightly and said, "No, he's from Hua."

"Hua Guo? It's rare that people from Hua Guo come to Beihan. You haven't been back to Hua Guo for many years, sir?" It is definitely not mediocre to be treated so politely by brother Shujun, but Mu Qingyi never I have never heard of Ning Tan's reputation, and he must have never appeared in Huaguo.

Ning Tan smiled lightly, and nodded with some melancholy, "In the blink of an eye...it's been more than ten years."

Ten years?That is to say, Ning Tan had already arrived in the Northern Han Dynasty before Ge Shujun ascended the throne.If he and Ge Shujun knew each other at that time, then this person is indeed Ge Shujun's confidant.Ning Tan now looks like he is only in his early thirties, more than ten years ago... Maybe he has followed Brother Shujun before he reached the weak crown.

"Don't you plan to go back, sir?"

Ning Tan shook his head and smiled, "I'm alone, it's the same everywhere. Besides, I'm used to Beihan... I'm used to a place, so I don't bother to change it. Actually, Beihan is a good place. You will get used to Muxiang after you get used to it."

Mu Qingyi smiled and said nothing, and the brother Shu Jun next to him smiled and said: "Mu Xiang, are you planning to win over Mr. Ning? Mr. Ning is my important counselor, please be merciful to Mu Xiang." Mu Qingyi He smiled and said: "Your Majesty is serious, isn't Mr. Ning trying to persuade the truth?"

Ge Shujun sighed and said, "Well, if Prime Minister Mu is willing to stay in Beihan, I can also treat him as a great prime minister. Although I can't..., but my imperial brother is also a good man of Beihan who stands up to heaven and earth. , Could it be that Mu Quite is really contemptuous? Even Mr. Ning... can completely discuss it."

After hearing Ge Shujun's words, Mu Qingyi couldn't help the black lines on his face.Ge Shujun really did everything he could to win her over, or to put it another way, to beat Rong Jin.After all, no matter how narcissistic Mu Qingyi is, she would never think that she is really so important.

"Mr. Ning's talent is by no means inferior to Qingyi's. Isn't Your Majesty afraid of Mr. Ning's distress if you are so close and far away?" Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Ge Shujun said helplessly: "It is precisely because Mr. Ning is unwilling to become an official that I value Mu Xiang more. If Mu Xiang and Mr. Ning can be assisted together, and there are eleven younger brothers fighting in the battlefield, why not worry about the Northern Han Dynasty? The world?"

I have to say that Ge Shujun is actually a very good emperor if he doesn't count his position.At least for ministers, an emperor like Ge Shujun is actually much easier to serve than someone like Rong Jin.Moreover, although Ge Shujun holds grudges, he is very clear about the importance of the matter.If Rong Jin was in Ge Shujun's position, he would only think of killing her instead of trying to win her over, even though he knew the chances were slim.As an emperor, Ge Shujun is much more competent than Rong Jin.

"Mr. Ning, why..." Mu Qingyi was a little puzzled.Since Ning Tan has been able to serve as Ge Shujun's staff for ten years, why is he unwilling to enter the court as an official to assist Ge Shujun?Staff and courtiers are completely different. Although they are both used by the emperor, the treatment of courtiers is obviously much better than that of staff.

Ning Tan played with the chess pieces in his hands, and said with a faint smile, "I'm not very proficient in official affairs..."

In fact, Mu Qingyi may not be really proficient, but she has an emperor Rong Jin who is willing to overcome all obstacles for her.But Ge Shujun is obviously not this kind of person. Ge Shujun is a qualified emperor, so it is doomed that he will never completely trust a certain person, even if he really trusts completely, he will never be desperate for him.Sometimes, even if the suggestion is correct, he still has to weigh it, and even has to push people out as victims.Ning Tan is not from the Northern Han Dynasty, so the situation is even more serious.If Ning Tan did something that endangered the interests of the nobles of the Northern Han Dynasty, Ge Shujun might not protect him.

Ning Tan obviously saw these things very clearly, so clearly and scary!It is precisely because he knows these things that Ning Tan would rather be a staff member who hides behind the scenes, rather than a powerful minister in the court.Therefore, when you meet different people, your life may be completely different.If Mu Qingyi met Ge Shujun first, or if she followed Ge Shuhan back to Beihan, I am afraid that there would be no such person as Mu Xiang in this world today.When she talked with Ning, they were both clear and calm people.

The two looked at each other, and both smiled.They have just met, but they seem to know each other very well.This feeling is very strange, quite a bit of reunion.

Ge Shujun sat aside and looked at the two of them, and couldn't help frowning.He couldn't understand why the two of them laughed, but he was sure that he didn't like this feeling, "It seems that Mu Xiang and Mr. Ning really hit it off?"
