The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 957
When the Chen Kingdom was at war with the Yi Kingdom, the capital of the Lian Kingdom was not at peace.

In the prime minister's mansion, three adults were sitting in the hall, and the hot tea in hand had been changed from cup to cup.

"Has the prime minister not returned yet?"

"Yeah, an hour has passed..." Several adults are also prominent figures in the capital, how could they wait for such a long time.

The butler stood aside and smiled apologetically, "Your Excellency is out to deal with business and will be back soon."

Several adults peeked at each other, they had all returned without success in the past few times, how could it be such a coincidence, the prime minister was not in the mansion every time, as if he knew in advance that they would come to visit and deliberately avoided it.Some people already had the idea of ​​retreating, but among them, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials opened his mouth.

"It's almost noon, and it's rare for a few colleagues to gather together. Why don't you wait for the prime minister to come back in the prime minister's mansion, and then go to Tianfulou to have a good meal together!"

His meaning is very obvious, the prime minister can no longer escape today.

"Master Shangshu is right. Since my colleagues rarely come here, and the Prime Minister is busy with official business, it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer."

Then the adults settled down, put on a few more cups of hot tea, and began to wait more patiently.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound from outside, and they looked up and finally saw the young man stepping in with an apologetic smile.

"Oh, I don't know how many adults are coming today. I kept you waiting for a long time. I'm so rude!" Situ Zhen's face was full of apology, and the adults who had complained just now immediately laughed apologetically, "Where are you, Prime Minister?" Your Excellency has worked so hard, it is really a blessing for the common people to take care of everything every day!"

Situ Zhen smiled, and then told the housekeeper beside her, "Come here, prepare meals." If you let them wait any longer, I might have to face it today, so why not just listen to what they want to say.

"My lord, do you know about His Majesty's dismissal of Lord Zhang?" The Minister of the Ministry of Officials cut to the chase, directly revealing the purpose of their visit today.

A gleam flashed across Situ Zhen's eyes, did they want to find out her attitude?

"Well, Master Zhang's matter is just luck."

"That's not necessarily the case, Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Zhang has been with us for many years, and we all know what he is like! This time, His Majesty's excuse to enclose the land is simply a vain attempt to frame Mr. Zhang. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the court. !"

The young man drank his tea slowly, but did not reveal much information on his face. "However, if there is not enough evidence in His Majesty's hands, he will not issue this order."

"Evidence, that can be faked! Mr. Zhang is an upright official, and he has done so many things for the Lian Kingdom. His Majesty has been deceived by some traitor and deprived Mr. Zhang of his position. I am really terrified when I think carefully. .”

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials then said, "When Your Majesty made this decision, could it be that the Prime Minister did not know about it? We thought that based on the friendship between the Prime Minister and Mr. Zhang, we would definitely intercede for him! Presumably, His Majesty did not tell the truth. An order from the Prime Minister."

Situ Zhen smiled, then sighed helplessly. "Because Mr. Zhang has a little friendship with the lower officials, His Majesty will not discuss this matter with the lower officials."

It's friendship, but it's just that Mr. Zhang visited him several times in the mansion, implying that after he was rejected for certain things, there was no further communication.And listening to the words of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it is clear that he intends to provoke the relationship between him and Emperor Lian.

"Your Majesty's doing this is really chilling! Although the prime minister is young, his talent is unmatched in the lotus country, but the prime minister will assist your majesty in all the affairs of the court. Now that your majesty is good at making suggestions, I am afraid it is against the prime minister. A rift has arisen!"

"That's right. Your Majesty has been doing quite a lot these days. Your Majesty the Prime Minister should be careful. At this juncture, we should unite and not let His Majesty delay the future of the Lotus Kingdom."

Sure enough, as he expected, in recent days, they have been in an alliance with him.

Situ Zhen's heart was like a mirror, seeing that he was silent, the adults couldn't sit still. "How does the prime minister agree?"

"Well, not bad."

Everyone was overjoyed, if the prime minister was willing to stand by their side, then His Majesty would not be able to dismiss their people arbitrarily!

"Then, what good plan does the prime minister have?"

"Although His Majesty has ignored the affairs of the court for many years, he still knows the affairs of the court thoroughly. The most important thing right now is to do our duty well. If the word of mouth is established, even if His Majesty has such thoughts, he will think twice before acting."

What the prime minister said was like saying nothing.

Several adults were a little anxious, "Master Prime Minister, we have all become victims of the struggle between Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor. I have been an official for many years, and Your Majesty doesn't care about our sacrifices. !"

"Why don't we jointly sign a letter to intercede for Mr. Zhang, what do you think the prime minister would like?"

With so many pairs of eyes staring at him, Situ Zhen slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and suddenly coughed violently, "Ahem...cough cough...yeah, ok, ok."

"My lord, what's wrong with you?!"

"Hey...the weather has been changing recently, and I have suffered from insomnia again, so...so I caught the wind and cold."

What?But it was fine just now...

"My lord, let the doctor take a look?"

Situ Zhen waved her hand, "I made you laugh, cough...cough... hey, housekeeper, take a few adults to dinner, sir, I'm going back to take some medicine, cough...cough... ..."

After finishing speaking, he let the maid beside him slowly walk into the inner hall.

"This... the Prime Minister, do you want to write a joint letter with us tomorrow?"

In the room in the inner courtyard, the old lady was lying on the couch, looking weak and pale.

The door opened slowly with a creak, and the man who was still coughing just now returned to his original state.He closed the door, eyes clear.

"Zhen'er, I heard that several adults came to visit again today."

The old lady's heart is like a mirror, so she naturally knows that the court of the Lian Kingdom is not peaceful.

"It's already been sent away, mother doesn't have to worry."

He went to the side, fetched a basin of hot water, twisted a towel, and came to the couch to gently wipe the back of his mother's hands.

"Master Zhang is in prison? But he came to ask you to intercede for him?"

Situ Zhen smiled, "How can His Majesty's decisions be easily changed. Although the child is young, she is not so innocent. Be a young bird."

The old lady on the couch was a little worried, "Nowadays the court is full of turmoil, I'm afraid you can't stay out of it. Besides, that Mr. Zhang seems to be someone who has been trained by the Supreme Emperor for many years, I'm afraid he won't give in so easily."

"My son understands."

"Mother knows that you already have some ideas. Now that His Majesty is full of wings, you can think clearly, which team do you want to stand on?"

Situ Zhen, as the youngest prime minister in the history of Lian Kingdom, besides his highly anticipated talent, also has some secret forces.Although she didn't make it so clear at the beginning, Situ Zhen vaguely understood that if she could sit in this position now, she was afraid that in the future, there would be unfinished love and unfinished business. , has faintly revealed information.

"Although Your Majesty has given me important responsibilities over the years, as the adults said, the dismissal of Lord Zhang has not been mentioned to Haier this time. I am afraid that he has always doubted Haier in his heart."

"So, you plan to support the Supreme Emperor?"

Situ Zhen wrapped the quilt up for the old lady, "It seems that His Majesty is not strong enough to compete with the Supreme Emperor, but I think that the current Lian Kingdom should change its blood."

It's true that the Lotus Kingdom has always been very powerful, but over the years, Situ Zhen discovered that the strength of the Lotus Kingdom had stopped here, and he could not see a more magnificent future.It is not a good thing to stand still and be complacent, and one day it will be surpassed by other countries, although he may not be able to see that day in his lifetime.

However, Situ Zhen's ability to secure the position of prime minister was also related to his style of work.He does not like pedantic things, like adventure and challenge.

"Zhen'er, are you still thinking about that girl?"

Situ Zhen's eyes flashed, and then she smiled, "Mother, Zhen'er doesn't want to get married yet."

"Then, Taifu's granddaughter, why don't you go and have a look?"

Situ Zhen is her old son, and she has obviously reached the age of starting a family, but she just doesn't care about any women.Only that time in the temple, when she met the woman who saved her, she felt a different breath from her son.

"Now that the court is in turmoil, my boy naturally doesn't have that kind of thought. Besides...that woman is not someone my boy can imagine."

Due to health reasons, the old lady did not have the opportunity to participate in the grand banquet in the palace, so she did not know that Yun Shu had become the Great Concubine, but she just disappeared.

Situ Zhen met Yun Shu a few times later, but he already understood that the woman was standing very far away from him. There were not many people in the Lotus Kingdom that made him afraid, but the eldest prince was one of them.And that woman is the eldest prince's favorite person.

Although he was entangled in affairs, he would occasionally think of that beautiful face, but now it was a different feeling.

Maybe it's emotion, maybe it's curiosity and inquiry.

Where is she now?But avoiding the limelight with the First Prince?Indeed, now that she has become the target of the Supreme Emperor, it is the wisest choice to find a place where there is no one to hide.If His Majesty wins this battle, then in the future, the person who ascends to the throne is very likely to be the First Prince, and she will become the Queen of the Lotus Kingdom.

For some reason, Situ Zhen felt that this was the best choice for Lian Guo.That wise woman came to be the queen of the lotus country, it must not be what it is today.He even looked forward to what changes would happen when the eldest prince ascended the throne as emperor and ruled the Lotus Kingdom together with Miss Gongsun.Perhaps because of this idea, the road in Situ Zhen's heart has gradually become clear.
