Chapter 369 (1/2)
Cui Xuhong thought that it was Lord Ju who married early summer, so he was talking about early summer. He was a relative of the emperor, so he had to forgive people.
At the beginning of summer, he tilted his head, blinked his smart eyes, supported his right elbow with his left hand, gently rubbed his chin with his right hand, and smiled meaningfully: ”not soon...”
Cui Xuhong's face was startled and his heart trembled. Lord Ju has always been clean. Is it difficult for him to talk about it? He was held in his hand in early summer?
In addition, he couldn't think of any other reason why Lord Ju was soon not the Minister of rites. As soon as he read this, he was even more frightened: ”what does the little Marquis mean when he said the post of minister of rites?”
At the beginning of summer, he didn't look at him, drooping his eyelids and dragging the tail: ”what do I mean...”
Cui Xuhong felt more and more uneasy in his heart. Seeing the smile on his face, he was hairy in his bones. Now he realized that the little Marquis smiled more and more brightly, and his stomach was more and more bad. He couldn't guess about it, so he had to ask for instructions: ”I hope the little Marquis can speak frankly. If the old minister has spare power, he will help me.”
At the beginning of summer, with his hands behind his back, he strolled in front of Cui Xuhong. Obviously, he was shorter than him, but it seemed that Cui Xuhong bowed slightly, but his back was straight at the beginning of summer. On the contrary, Cui Xuhong was oppressed by the momentum of bullying at the beginning of summer, and said to him, ”I really need the help of Lord Cui. I recommend Lord Xie as the Minister of rites.”
Cui Xuhong's face coagulated. Isn't that equal to hitting him in the face?
No one in the work department hates Xie Jiming. Since the last morning, Cui Xuhong has not deliberately made trouble for Xie Jiming, but he is also very courteous and alienated.
The discerning people in the court knew that they were at odds, but they didn't know why Cui Xuhong didn't dare to be angry or speak.
He had to swallow his anger and let Xie Jiming dictate in his work department. Now he has to recommend Xie Jiming to the Minister of rites in person. Where does his old face go?
”Lord Cui looks very embarrassed...” at the beginning of summer, he came up to him and looked up at his face. A layer of cold light spread from the bottom of his eyes and looked at Cui Xuhong.
Cui Xuhong is really unwilling to let Xie Jiming be on an equal footing with him from now on. How can he swallow this tone.
At the beginning of summer, seeing him silent, he stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, turned his head to his shoulder and whispered to his ear, ”you don't want Lord Xie to stay in the work department, why not? If Lord Xie knows what I know, I'm afraid it's Lord Cui who can't stay in the work department in the future.”
Cui Xuhong's body stiffened when he heard the speech, and his words at the beginning of summer hit his weakness.
Although he was afraid of early summer, he knew that early summer had requirements, and they still had room for negotiation and bargaining.
But if someone who understands Ji Ming's pedantry, I'm afraid it's a gut straight to the end. Regardless, he has to stop until he dies.
Therefore, after weighing the two sides, he felt that losing some face was better than leaving a snake in the work department to guard against being bitten by him all day.
”What the little Marquis said is, but at present, Lord Ju still holds the post of minister of rites.” Cui Xuhong wanted to understand, but he was not hypocritical. He replied to the beginning of summer.
”It doesn't matter. When he leaves office, you can recommend him at the right time.” At the beginning of summer, I didn't think so and said it with great certainty.
”What if Mr. Ju is re elected?” Cui Xuhong doesn't know where the confidence comes from in early summer. It's not so easy to bring down such a hard Ju backstage.
