v2.Chapter 214 (1/2)
”Master, the young lady has brought the eldest princess. She wants to see you.”
The servant bowed back outside the door. In the small study, Yin Yan was writing something.
Hearing the message, he didn't lift his head. ”Please come in. It's all a family. Why so much courtesy?”
The servant said quickly: ”master, it's not the princess in our house, it's the princess of Zhenjiang. The eldest princess came with Marquis Gu today. She said that she had something to discuss with the eldest son. ”
Yan Yan raised his head to look at the servant and slowly put the pen on the shelf.
”Princess Zhenjiang wants to see me. What can I do for you? It's not necessary to pay an ordinary visit. She's a female guest. She's served by the young lady and Princess Danyang. She doesn't have to come to see me. ”
The servant thought, ”the young lady said that she has something to see the master. It's not like an ordinary visit. Does the master want to see you?”
Yan Yan picked up the things on the book case and said slowly, ”she's the eldest princess. I just have no job. How dare I refuse? Ask her to come in
He packed up his things and walked out. ”I'll meet you in the main hall of the upper room.”
”Yes, sir.”
Yin Jikua led Yu into the main hall, and saw an old man sitting on the top. He was so thin that he was only a bone. It was obvious that Gu huaijiang was a few years old, but he looked very old.
Seeing Yu Fu, he got up slowly with his crutch.
After all, people who have been prime ministers for decades are calm and calm, and have little respect for Yufu, the so-called long princess.
Yu Fu took advantage of the situation and said, ”don't be polite, old Prime Minister. You are an elder. Just sit and talk.”
Yan Yan didn't refuse, ”the princess, please sit down. The princess is a distinguished guest. Ji Yi, please cook tea for her.”
Tea cooking and other small things have always been done by the servants. The prime minister's contacts were not without valuable status. Yin Yan never asked the young lady Yin Jiyi to cook tea in person.
This is where respect Yu Fu's identity, clearly want to support themselves.
Yin Jiyi also hoped to help Yu Fu say a few words here, but naturally he would not leave easily, ”father, the eldest princess is easy-going and doesn't have to cook another tea -”
Yin Yan glanced at her sharply, ”don't you go soon?”
Yin Jichu looked at Yu Fu's face, and the latter nodded slightly to her, and she stepped back.
After holding back the crowd, Yan Yan's expression became more and more alienated, ”I don't know what happened when Princess Chang came to see me specially?”
He came straight to the point, and Yu Fu said, ”the old prime minister must have heard about what happened in the Palace last night. Your majesty is still young, and sometimes you have some ridiculous ideas that need to be admonished by the old minister. Do you know if the old prime minister has the intention to admonish you? ”
Yan Yan's face did not change, ”the princess joked. I had already lost my office. Now I'm just an ordinary old man. How can I persuade your majesty? I don't even know what happened in the Palace last night. ”
He pushed it clean, but Yin Jihe had already betrayed him.
Yu Fu laughed, ”why should the old prime minister be so wary of me? I know that it is impossible for the old Prime Minister not to know what happened in the Palace last night. Nowadays, the imperial capital has been spread all over the streets. What's more, the old prime minister is in the prime minister's office, the center of the imperial capital's power? ”
Yan Yan's eyes flashed and he didn't speak.
Yu Fu added: ”the old Prime Minister and the general have always been at odds. I am the adopted daughter of the general. It's right that the old Prime Minister refuses to tell the truth. Although the old Prime Minister does not believe in the general, the general has always respected you as a prime minister with talent and courage. Like the general, I believe that you are loyal to the king. You can't be indifferent to his Majesty's Hu Wei. ”
Yan Yan's face was slightly loose, ”is that how Marquis Gu evaluated me?”
Yu Fu replied, ”yes, the general has never been hostile to the old Prime Minister. On the contrary, he has always felt that when you were in office, you managed the court very well and could take on a great responsibility.”
Yan Yan looked at Yu Fu seriously. On the first day of the new year, she wore a long plain white skirt and a black cape, elegant and pure.
In other people's eyes, such a dress is taboo, but in Yan Yan's eyes, she is very comfortable, knowing that she is filial to the emperor.
A princess who is not the blood of the former Emperor, she can still restrain the woman's natural love for beauty and serve the former Emperor as a vegetarian. Ning Chengzhi, however, indulges in banquets in the palace.
He spoke slowly, and his voice softened a little. ”I heard that last night the eldest princess advised her majesty to have a moderate banquet to show respect for the former Emperor, and politely refused her Majesty's will. I want to tell you the truth today, but it's not for the sake of looking after the Marquis, but for the sake of her filial piety to the emperor and her integrity of not being greedy for glory. ”
Yan Yan was finally relieved, and Yu Fu was also relieved.
She said: ”in that case, I will tell the truth to the old Prime Minister. I am the one who was given marriage by the former Emperor to the son of marquis Gu. The son's disobedience to his father's will is disrespectful. Your Majesty's action is really disrespectful to the former Emperor. If the old prime minister thinks so, can he write to his majesty and advise him to change his mind? ”
When Yin Yan heard this, he was sure that Yufu had come to ask him to dissuade his majesty from setting up his post.
Whenever she had a little bit of lust for the power and glory of the queen, she would not ask for her counterpart in guhou mansion. Yin Yan felt that she had misjudged her too much in the past.In his eyes, the woman with unknown origin and hidden conspiracy has such a spirit of despising power and position!
Yin Yan asked himself that he was more than 50 years old, but he could not compare with Yufu who had not yet reached the hairpin. It was really embarrassing.
He thought for a moment, ”he who is a minister should admonish his majesty. But did Princess Chang find the wrong person? I have no right now. Even if I write to you, can you listen to me? Marquis Gu has a wide range of friends in the court, such as Mr. Ji and cabinet ministers. The princess should ask them to advise his majesty. ”
Yu Fu said: ”the old prime minister is among them. You should know who is the most trusted Minister of your majesty. The cabinet was established during the reign of the former Emperor, and now it has no power. Elder Ji is old, and the general has gone to the palace to admonish his majesty. If the old prime minister can persuade the Yin prime minister to remonstrate with his majesty, there will be Zhongzheng's old ministers in the court, and this matter will be very promising! ”
Yan Yan's heart moved and fell into deep thinking.
……
Gu Shubai and Yin Shuo were drinking tea in the outer study.
The first time he came to the prime minister's residence, he looked around, and his mouth turned slightly up. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Yan Shuo seemed to know what he thought, ”is the son of heaven thinking, how can I invite you to come to such an important place as the outer study?”
On the one hand, he pushed the cooked tea to Gu Shubai.
Gu Shubai said with a smile, ”can't other courtiers come to the prime minister's office to enter the outer study? For example, the Minister of the Ministry of officials, Lord Liu Zhenliu
Yan Shuo took a deep look at him and didn't want him to explore the prime minister in front of him.
Gu Shubai said: ”why did Prime Minister Yin look at me like this? In terms of the familiarity with each other's mansion, Prime Minister Yin is better
Yan Shuo also laughed, ”yes, thanks to the generosity of marquis Gu. In the past, the generals were at odds with each other. My father didn't even bother to do superficial Kung Fu. He never invited people from guhou mansion to come in. Marquis Gu is different. Every time you invite a courtier to a banquet, you will get an invitation from the prime minister's office. Thank you for your invitation, so that I can get familiar with the situation of Hou's residence. ”
”You know in your heart whether my father does superficial Kung Fu or sincerely hopes to govern Dongling peacefully. He allowed a man who designed to kill me to come to the front of the house and plead guilty, hoping that you could take the place of the old prime minister to govern Dongling well. ”
Gu Shubai secretly warned him that they had long known that Yin Shuo was responsible for the poisoning and ambush in Changzhou government, but they let Yin Yan resign.
