"Gao Shangshu, Chen is not very confident about this person," Tongpao Chen pondered, and then said, "But we don't have many talents to recommend here, and it is difficult to compete with the Liu Party. Besides, there are people who have entered the Zhongshu Province
What are the benefits? As long as Liu Zhennian is actually in power, we will be controlled in every way; the so-called deliberation and decision-making are just submission. But once a big mistake is made, it will be the end of Yan Wen and Niu Yuan, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"
Out of his desire for fame and wealth, Gao Jizhi has always wanted to enter the capital province, especially when faced with this great opportunity, he couldn't help but be tempted. He planned to discuss it with Chen Tongpao, but just in case he got a glimpse of his thoughts,
He tried it out slightly, but he didn't expect him to think otherwise. He was secretly glad that he didn't tell his whole thoughts.
Although he felt a bit disappointed, his face remained as calm as ever, and he answered with a smile: "Master Chen and I have the same mind. Many people have also advised me to fight for this position before. How can I win?"
? Today I am the head of the six ministries. If I add another name to participate in politics, I will have the power to reach the sky. The Liu Party will not allow it. I know that there is no hope. "
"Master Gao sees it better than I do. I still need to learn a thing or two from a humble position."
Gao Jizhi stroked his palm and smiled and said, "There is no need to compliment me like this." After that, he picked up the porcelain bowl and took a sip of cold tea.
"Master Gao, I want to ask you one more question."
"Huh?" Gao Jizhi looked at him with a slightly embarrassed expression and felt strange, "Tell me."
"Your bowl of tea...is it still good to drink when it's cold? Do you need to ask someone to simmer a new pot for you?"
Gao Jizhi was shocked. He quickly looked at the tea in the bowl, and after recalling the taste, he realized that he had forgotten this because he was so nervous. When he thought that Chen Tongpao would deduce the source of this nervousness,
As he grasped his heart, he felt an inexplicable suffocating fear - something he had never felt before as a shrewd man.
Even so, Gao Jizhi still showed poise. He slowly covered the tea bowl with his previous smile unchanged: "I have something to do at home, so I'm just sitting here for a while. I'm too lazy to wait for the hot tea, so I'll drink it first."
Moisten your throat a little. Moreover, medical books say that 'gargling with cold tea can cleanse away the poison from a day's food and drink', so drinking these few mouthfuls can be used as a mouthwash."
Tongpao Chen stroked his beard and pretended to be awake: "Oh! That's it. I don't bother the officers because of my humble duty. I wonder if you have any other instructions?"
"Nothing happens, but you can help me sort out the files in the study while I'm away. In addition, you must keep an eye on Ye Yongjia's movements and wait for opportunities."
Chen Tongpao immediately agreed and walked out of the house.
Gao Jizhi didn't say a word or even glanced. He didn't dare to stand up until he heard Chen Tongpao walking past the window behind him. He tapped his forehead with two fingers and saw that only a few traces were left.
He was sweating heavily, so he sighed and poured the cold tea into the flower pot.
"Tongpao Chen... Tongpao Chen..." Gao Jizhi said the name repeatedly, trying to figure out this person's temperament through thinking, but after recalling it for a long time, he was still elusive. It can be said that he was cold-blooded and ruthless.
He didn't even want to show a different look; but he often adapted to circumstances and made various appearances to let others know what he was thinking. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand this subordinate, and even felt that he had been completely annihilated.
Be human.
'He seems to have no weaknesses,' Gao Jizhi continued to think, 'we officials still have to pursue fame and fortune, but he is able to remain calm when facing the position of Zhongshu Province... But how can he be selfless?
People? At first, they helped the Ministry of Household Affairs to suppress
When it came to the refugees, he came up with the most vicious ideas. Later, when he became a supervisor, he was able to stir up trouble in Shandong's New Deal, leading to the impeachment of Yan Wen. This man could always see further ahead than others, and he was almost obsessed with it.
Miaoqi, I really don’t know how to deal with it...'
After thinking so much, he still couldn't find a way to deal with Tongpao Chen, so he had to think about using up his talents first, and leave the rest to the future.
"Mr. Cai, are you afraid that the younger generation won't make up your mind? Why bother forcing me to do such a thankless thing!" Ye Yongjia followed Cai Xianqing all the way. He saw no one around before he dared to step forward.
Cai Xianqing clasped her hands behind her back, turned around and smiled softly: "No wonder Prime Minister Liu looks at you wrong. You are really cherishing your life now. You are not as good as before!"
"What Cai Lao taught me is that I did start to have doubts," Ye Yongjia raised his head and sighed, "After all, this kind of thankless thing, even if you try your best to do it, you can't recover the losses caused by accidentally attacking the warship.
Sometimes, there must be a lot of people scolding me."
"What did you tell me when we were in Dengzhou?" Cai Xianqing poked his shoulder blade and asked, "We can't steer the rudder. If this ship can be repaired, the world will be better off. But now you are getting impatient.
Everything must be done perfectly."
"These are all words used to comfort people," Ye Yongjia shook his head and said, "People are generally suffering... and at the same time, they are also generally dull."
"If you want to give up, I won't allow you to do so. From now on, I will force you to do everything unless you get rid of me!"
"Alas..." Ye Yongjia laughed helplessly, "Everything you say is right. After all, you saved my teacher's life and almost saved mine. I won't go against you."
"In this matter, you should take care of my kindness as well as Prime Minister Liu's. Even if it is to repay him..." When Cai Xianqing said this, he saw Ye Yongjia's face darken, and then he remembered some things.
Years past, I feel ashamed.
"I am not Liu Dang even now. Please don't call him Prime Minister." Ye Yongjia's face was as cold and hard as iron stone, and his eyes were burning like fire. "Liu Zhennian will always be Ye's enemy, unless he
Just disappear into ashes." After that, he walked straight onto the stone road and passed through the door opening.
When the two arrived at the Ministry of War, they found that Lian Chongwen had been waiting there for a long time. Ye Yongjia took off his hat and saw that his face was filled with anger, and he did not even look at them, let alone salute.
"What's going on?" Cai Xianqing called a scribe over and asked.
"Ambassador Lian came here from the Ministry of Rites. He didn't say anything the whole way. He just shouted that he wanted to see Mr. Ye, and he even named everyone by name."
While he was talking, Lian Chongwen suddenly stood up, pointed at Ye Yongjia and said: "Ye Bingbu, I know you are easy to talk to. Let me get straight to the point. In this incident, my country requires your country to compensate one hundred thousand taels of silver! This is the basic condition.
, If you don’t agree, there’s no need to discuss anything!”
