There were originally two prime ministers in the Zhengshitang, and several came and went. Pei Ji always stood firm, relying on the grace of the saint. Now that the saint is paralyzed and unable to govern, his backer has also fallen.
Needless to say, there are currently four prime ministers in the political affairs hall. Yang Gongren is a die-hard confidant of the King of Chu, Chen Shuda has a casual relationship with him, and Pei Ju has not been in contact with each other for a long time. In addition, there is a king of Chu who oversees the country. His own status as prime minister is equivalent to a puppet.
Looking at the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites support the King of Chu. The Ministry of Justice and Huangfu are not able to get on the stage and do not want to participate in the dispute. The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of War, although they are not the confidants of the King of Chu, they are all saints, and the saints have something to say about Chu.
Wang Jianguo, how could they go against the King of Chu?
As for the military, let alone talk about it, you can’t even look at it.
It can be said that Pei Ji felt that he had no place to exert his efforts. As for the Nine Temples, it had never been taken seriously. Although he had the responsibility to make suggestions in the government affairs, the weight of his opinions was far from enough.
The King of Chu had a righteous reputation and military power, and he even had the help of Guan Long...
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Pei Ji felt. When did the King of Chu become so powerful? He was almost as powerful as the King of Qin Li Shimin.
"Okay, stop talking." Pei Ji interrupted Liu Shilong.
"Prime Minister Pei, it's not that I talk too much, it's that the King of Chu doesn't give me a way to live." Liu Shilong complained: "I am a little Hongluqing, and I deserve to be investigated by the King of Chu every day from Dali Temple. Isn't he wronging an honest man?"
What?"
Hongluqing was in charge of guests, mainly receiving foreign envoys or local barbarian chieftains. It could be regarded as a dispensable and idle yamen with basically no real power. Liu Shilong didn't understand why he was targeted by the King of Chu. He had never done anything before.
I have offended the King of Chu.
Pei Ji said disdainfully: "Did you serve as an official for nothing? What is the situation in Chang'an now? Can't you see what the King of Chu is thinking? So what if I am wronged you, so what if I am not wronged. You are not the King of Chu's person, how can he
He doesn't think it's unfair to deal with you."
"Does the sage not care about the King of Chu?" Liu Shilong was stunned.
Hearing this, Pei Ji sighed: "How can a saint be in unwell condition and still be in charge of the King of Chu?"
Of course he wanted the saint to stand up and take charge of the government again, but the problem was that the saint's body was not strong enough to support him.
Liu Shilong's eyes flashed and he whispered: "Prime Minister Pei, do you think that if King Chu ascends the throne in the future, will he get rid of us?"
Pei Ji frowned and said nothing.
To be honest, he felt that the King of Chu would not do that. Although he and the King of Chu were not from the same place, they did not seem to be facing each other in life or death.
"What are you talking about?"
Liu Shilong said: "Prime Minister Pei, if we don't do something, sooner or later the King of Chu will drive us out of Chang'an, and our lives may even be at risk."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Prime Minister Pei, Li Xiaochang, the governor of Lizhou, sent someone to see me a few days ago..."
After a stick of incense.
Pei Ji was furious, "You are just going crazy. With the few soldiers and horses in Li Xiaochang's hands, do you think he can win? I tell you, if you don't want to die, cut off contact with Li Xiaochang as soon as possible, otherwise the family will be uneasy, don't blame me.
I didn’t remind you!”
Liu Shilong was stunned for a moment, then said immediately: "Prime Minister Pei, if this matter can be accomplished, Prime Minister Pei should be looked down upon both inside and outside the court!"
"Shut up and get out!" Pei Ji kicked the eucalyptus over and yelled at Liu Shilong angrily.
Seeing this, Liu Shilong could only say goodbye angrily.
After Liu Shilong left, Pei Ji seemed to be fished out of the water, sitting on the futon without saying a word for a long time.
In his opinion, Li Xiaochang was crazy, and so was Liu Shilong.
No, he had to do something. At the very least, he couldn't let himself be implicated.
Chu Palace.
Today is a day off, and Li Zhiyun takes a rare rest in his mansion.
"Guan Guan Jiujiu, in Hezhizhou, a graceful lady, a gentleman is very fond of... I sleep for a long time... I long for it... uh... uh..."
Xiao Chengjing stood up straight, looking at the floor intently, reciting one sentence after another, and stuttering more and more as he went back. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was very uneasy.
Li Zhiyun's eyes shifted from the book and fell on the eldest son. He did not speak, but looked at him calmly.
Li Chengjing, who is four years old, began to study classics under the supervision of his mother, Yin Shi. He is not a precocious child, and his IQ is very average. At the same time, he has the playful nature of a child, which makes him not seem to perform so well.
Ms. Yin looked at her son speechlessly. He was obviously very familiar with her words, so why was he stuttering like this now?
She wanted to remind her son, but was unable to do anything. She just encouraged her son silently with her eyes.
However, Li Chengjing lowered her head in fear and could not see at all.
Seeing that he was stuck, Li Zhiyun didn't scold him, he just said: "If you can't recite it, just take a rest."
Li Chengjing bit her lip and stood at a loss.
"What's wrong?" Li Zhiyun asked.
At this time, Li Chengjing burst into tears, "The child doesn't dare, the mother will scold the child, wuwuwu..."
Seeing this, Mrs. Yin shouted: "Don't cry!"
Li Chengjing shivered with fear, tears hung on her face, neither falling nor rising, and she was so embarrassed.
Li Zhiyun held Yin's hand and said, "He is still young, so there is no need to be so strict."
Mrs. Yin whispered: "Husband, Jing'er is not young anymore, he is already four years old."
"Only four years old." Li Zhiyun said calmly.
"But Baoniang can carry these things at the age of three." Mrs. Yin said a little unconvinced.
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun felt a little funny. He also had some knowledge and guesses about some of Yin's mentality, but he was too lazy to point it out.
Although Baoniang is naughty and mischievous, she is indeed very smart. This may be related to the princess's words and deeds. A few days ago, Li Zhiyun listened to his precious daughter recite the Book of Songs, which is quite long.
As for Chengjing, he is just an ordinary child. Coupled with Yin's strict teachings, he is as delicate as a girl.
"Okay, I will teach Chengjing myself when I have time in the future."
With a word of comfort, Li Zhiyun let Chengjing go down and rest by herself.
To be honest, his children are still young now, and his career is at a critical stage, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to them at all.
If you want education, you have to wait until he has time.
However, there are not so many prodigies in the world who are born with knowledge. Li Zhiyun did not want his sons to be too tired. When they were young, Li Zhiyun hoped that they could have a relaxed childhood life.
Mrs. Yin did not dare to disobey Li Zhiyun. After her son left, she looked drunk and whispered in her husband's ear: "Husband, I want to give you another son."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun hugged her and asked: "The imperial doctor said your body has recovered?"
"It's been better a long time ago. Jing'er is already four years old." She said resentfully.
Li Zhiyunbao loved several women very much. After each of them gave birth to a child, he would consciously use contraception during sex.
Although he is promiscuous, it does not mean that he is heartless.
Giving birth to children has certain risks for women in this era, so he will consciously use contraception to let them take good care of their bodies and regain their strength.
Yin gave birth to Chengjing earlier and was in better health. The three daughters, Princess Chu, Huaiyang, and Wei Gui, all gave birth to children in the past two years, especially Princess Chu, who had one child every two years.
This is also the main reason why women in the palace have not become pregnant recently.
However, the Yin family is not one of the women who can understand him. Whether they are Huaiyang or Wei Gui, they are naturally willing to give birth to Li Zhiyun's children, but after knowing Li Zhiyun's thoughts, they will certainly be moved and agree to Li Zhiyun.
.
Mrs. Yin will only say that her body is in good condition.
"Okay, I'll rest in your room tonight." Li Zhiyun smiled evilly, and then reminded her in a low voice, "Remember, put on those clothes and wait for me."
