Chapter 472 Sweet-Scented Osmanthus Cake (1)

Prime Minister's Mansion

Prime Minister Xu is playing chess with someone.

The man sitting opposite Xu Cheng was about forty years old, with a thin face and a long beard, and his clear and melancholy demeanor was quite eye-catching.

"The teacher is a little restless today, is it because he was recruited into the palace this morning?"

Prime Minister Xu laughed loudly, and put down a chess piece on the chessboard.

"Your Majesty is sick, and the crown prince is fighting endlessly with King Jin, which is really not good for the country."

The man smiled and put down a chess piece on the chessboard, "This matter should not be our courtiers' worries. His Majesty is only seriously ill now. His Majesty is not here, and there is still the Crown Prince."

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as King Jin's side, and there will be some changes." Prime Minister Xu sighed suddenly: "That old guy Lin Jian has been smart all his life, but he was confused when he came to his head. His Majesty's sudden illness this time really made him return. It was unexpected to have the person behind him."

The man just smiled and dropped another child.

Some people can think about it, some people can't think about it. For example, his teacher is a person who can think about it, and he is a high-ranking and powerful person, so why bother to be greedy for the merits of being a dragon. But how can people be the same? There will always be people who can't think about it! The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. The ancients did not deceive him.

"Teacher, do you need to let King Jin leave the capital? Presumably His Royal Highness would like to see this scene."

Prime Minister Xu pondered for a moment, stroked his beard, "No, we'd better wait and see."

"Aren't you worried about the instability of the country and society?"

These words made Prime Minister Xu smile wryly, "Your Majesty himself doesn't think so, why should we bother!"

"I'm afraid it's going to be a mess."

"You, the censor of the right capital, have only been in office for a short time. It's more important to protect yourself. If they want to make trouble, they can make trouble."

"Some people will say that students eat vegetarian food."

"Haha, the situation is unstable now. Even the teacher doesn't want to meddle in other people's business. You, a student, don't play your role." Prime Minister Xu laughed a few words, and then said in a low voice: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is in a moment of chaos, Prince Absolutely will not let Jin Wang safely stay in the capital, you only have a few people in your hands, it is not easy to stand out at this time. Anyway, we are not greedy for the merits of the dragon, it is better to wait and see what happens."

"Students know."

In the study room, only the sound of chess pieces being placed on the board can be heard.

Prime Minister Xu glanced at the student on the opposite side, and suddenly sighed: "You seem to be calm and indifferent, but you are actually a hard worker who cares about the country and the people."

People in their forties were called boys by Prime Minister Xu, but they were indeed boys, because Prime Minister Xu was nearly seventy years old.

"Aren't you?"

Prime Minister Xu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly, "We are the same, it's a pity..."

Prime Minister Xu didn't finish what was said later, but Zhao Jingheng, who was born as his student, knew it well.

Empty has ambitions, but no place to use them. Although Emperor Xi was not a faint king, he was not a wise king either. He was headstrong, too conservative in his thinking, stuck to the rules and unwilling to innovate.

The Daxi dynasty seemed to be in a peaceful and prosperous age, but no one knew better than them what was going on in this peaceful and prosperous age.

The rich are too rich, and the poor people will always live in poverty. There are too many people who are corrupt and pervert the law, but they are protected by officials and get away with it. The wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road, that's all they say.

Sometimes it is not a good thing for people to be too ambitious. For example, his teacher, who has been in the officialdom for decades, has ups and downs, and finally puts away all his pride. The reason for being able to sit on the position of prime minister is nothing more than knowledge.

Know how to be a person, know how to do things, and never touch things that should not be contaminated.

Who would have thought that Prime Minister Xu, who has always given outsiders the impression of being upright, outspoken, and jealous of evil, is actually a mediocre person who is well versed in knowledge?

Being upright and daring to speak out is just allowing him to be like this, and he will be like this.
