"Sir, wait!" The maid boldly ran forward and stopped Cui Shaogong. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, and conveyed Duan Qianjun's words to him: "The Prime Minister Zuo said that he knows you don't want to see him, but if you don't

Go, he will..."

"I'll go find you in person while you're bathing..."

The maid's face turned red and her voice became softer and quieter.

But Cui Shaogong has practiced martial arts all year round, and his five senses are already sharp, so how could he not hear it?

He immediately clenched his fists and held back his breath: "I know, you go down and do your work."

Duan Qianjun...

Didn't he go to Qianfo Mountain with the Queen Mother? Why is he in the imperial capital now?

That's all, let's see what he wants to do first.

Cui Shaogong obviously didn't want to waste his time on Duan Qianjun. He didn't even take off his hair crown and walked towards the study with a neat ponytail.

After the death of Old Taiwei Cui, he preferred silence, so there were not too many people in the study room. Perhaps Duan Qianjun was aware of this, so he changed his mind and did not bring any beauties with him.

He didn't even drink much wine.

Cui Shaogong opened the door and saw a half-asleep figure sitting on the bench behind his desk, very leisurely.

I really don’t regard myself as an outsider.

Noticing someone coming in, Duan Qianjun opened his drowsy eyes, sat up from the bench, and yawned lazily.

Then, he looked at Cui Shaogong, supported his head with his hands and said hello: "Little Lieutenant Cui, I have long admired you."

Cui Shaogong didn't even bother to look at him. He poured a glass of water, drank it down, and said coldly: "The left prime minister is a senior. I'm afraid I can't bear this. Senior, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly.

It’s too late, don’t delay others’ rest.”

Seeing the alienation written on Cui Shaogong's face, Duan Qianjun raised his eyebrows.

There are really people in this imperial capital who dare to ignore him.

It seems that the little girl Pei Qi is right. Cui Shaogong is a man of little taste, especially...

For people like him.

Seeing that Cui Shaogong didn't want to talk to him any more, Duan Qianjun lost interest for a moment and simply got straight to the point: "Since Cui Xiaotai is so cheerful, I won't talk about unnecessary nonsense. You must have heard about Jiang Fengchuan's ascension to the throne. I don't know Cui Xiaotai."

What are your plans, Lieutenant?"

When Cui Shaogong heard this, his hand holding the cup paused for a moment, and then he gently placed the cup on the table.

Jiang Fengchuan ascended the throne?

The prince's poisoning of the late emperor has not yet come to light, and Pei Qi's whereabouts are still unknown and he has not been arrested and brought to justice. How could he ascend the throne at this juncture?

However, matters within the DPRK have never been related to him.

Cui Shaogong took off his heavy robe and hung it on the hanger, and said in a neutral tone: "Senior, you know that I don't want to interfere with the affairs of the court, so why bother to come all the way to ask this junior what your plans are? The Cui family has always worked for the emperor, and the late emperor

Now that he has passed away, the next emperor will be the master of the younger generation."

"As for whether it's Jiang Fengchuan, the prince, or someone else, I never care."

He is a military general who obeys the emperor's wishes and fights on the frontier. He must not violate the emperor's orders. This is the ancestral motto.

Whose hands is this world in, and what does it have to do with him?

Anyway, they do the same thing.

Facing Cui Shaogong's indifference, Duan Qianjun couldn't help but raise his forehead.

He holds great power, and has the Queen Mother behind him. Everyone in the court nods and bows when they see him. How has it ever been like this before?

Unfortunately, he still couldn't use his usual tough tactics. With the man in front of him who would rather be broken than destroyed, threats were of course useless.

He can't really take action against Cui Shaogong. After all, Cui Shaogong has been fighting on the frontier for many years, but for someone who has been on the line of life and death, if he really takes action, he may not be able to defeat him.

What's more, now that we are in the Taiwei Mansion, even if the Qian Ling Guards are here, the whole army will be wiped out.

Duan Qianjun had no choice but to think of other ways to impress him: "I think you should also know that Jiang Fengchuan has a cruel heart. The loyal ministers of the Cui family have been willing to assist such a monarch to rise to power?"

After hearing Duan Qianjun's words, Cui Shaogong laughed out loud for no reason.

His originally indifferent gaze turned into a rare trace of ridicule after Duan Qianjun finished speaking, and even the titles of senior and junior were omitted: "Duan Qianjun, people like you have never cared about those in high positions.

Is human nature cruel?”

"If the person who succeeds today is not Jiang Fengchuan, but someone affiliated with you, Duan Qianjun, his temperament, character, background, and family background, I'm afraid they won't be within the scope of your consideration.

"

"And you will not appear in my Taiwei's mansion like you did today."

Duan Qianjun wanted to prevent Jiang Fengchuan from succeeding to the throne simply because Jiang Fengchuan was not on his side.

Therefore, Duan Qianjun does not need to pretend to be an innocent and loyal minister.

"Senior, if nothing happens, please come back."

Cui Shaogong didn't want to continue chatting with him and directly issued an order to expel him.

Duan Qianjun was silent, his face a little ugly, as if he didn't expect that a young boy in his twenties would not give him any face.

But if you think about it carefully, Pei Qi is almost the same age as him, so he can already have a smooth life in the court.

But what surprised him even more was that Cui Shaogong's reaction was completely guessed by Pei Qi.

Recalling what Pei Qi said that day in the attic, Duan Qianjun took out a green thumb ring from his pocket, held it in the palm of his hand and played with it.

"I have met Cui Shaogong twice. He hates people who wield power in the government the most. He doesn't want to get involved and is afraid to avoid them. With you alone, even if you talk nonsense, it will be of no use."

When Pei Qi said this, he gave him this ring. I heard that it was a gift given to him when he chatted with Old Taiwei Cui.

If you show Cui Shaogong this, you might have some hope.

Thinking of this, Duan Qianjun stood up slowly, walked to Cui Shaogong, and put the ring into his hand: "Someone asked me to give this to you. I heard that your father usually wears it."

Cui Shaogong took the ring, and when he saw it, he felt dazed for a moment.

He was very familiar with his father's stuff, but what exactly did Duan Qianjun want to express?

His father doesn't want the Cui family to get involved in court disputes just like him, or even more than he does, and now he wants to impress him with just a finger?

What Duan Qianjun thought was too good, right?

What's more, it's still unclear where this ring came from. He wouldn't believe that his father would have an affair with someone like Duan Qianjun and even give him something personal.

"To be honest, it was not my intention to come to Taiwei's Mansion today, but someone told me that you, Cui Shaogong, are a loyal and righteous son, full of passion. Although you have been taught by your father, you must protect the Cui family from being involved in the bloody chaos in the court.

But from the bottom of my heart, I also hope that the country of Dasheng will be peaceful and peaceful."

"Since you don't welcome me, I won't stay any longer, so I'll leave now."

After saying this, Duan Qianjun felt bored and laughed at Pei Qi in his heart. Before he told him that he wanted to try his luck with Cui Shaogong, now it seems that this trip was really in vain.

The next second, Duan Qianjun suddenly thought of something. He turned back and looked at Cui Shaogong, who was holding a wrench in his hand, and said slowly: "By the way, she asked me to tell you something, and the original words were like this..."

"Whether Jiang Fengchuan is a qualified monarch or not, not only you and me, but even the entire court officials weigh in their minds, but some of them are afraid of power but seek to protect themselves; some are colluding with others to seek high positions; and some have nothing to do with it.

I have treated him with indifference. I have seen the Cui family giving porridge to the refugees in various cities, and I have also seen the Cui family's son-in-law holding a spear in his hand and refusing to give in at the border. Therefore, I believe that Cui Xiaotaiwei has never belonged to these three categories.

Any kind of person."

"Although the Cui family has never been involved in court disputes and only worked for the king, if the world is really handed over to Jiang Fengchuan, the Dasheng Kingdom, which is full of withered bones, will definitely not be what you want. Cui Xiao Taiwei is full of enthusiasm.

Dasheng is devastated in just a moment of your thought, and a peaceful and prosperous era is also in a moment of your thought. Do you... really want to watch it with your eyes open?"

Cui Shaogong was stunned in place for a long time. When he came back to his senses, Duan Qianjun had already left for a long time.

But his words still lingered in Cui Shaogong's mind.

For a long time, he held the green ring finger tightly in his hand, looked towards the direction Duan Qianjun left, and smiled desolately.
