Chapter 299: Hidden Trouble
This person was Tutuo Timur, a high-ranking official in the dynasty and the grand master of the dynasty.
The prime minister assists the emperor in managing all military and state affairs, which is called "the emperor in charge of the prime minister, and his assistant is Wanji." There are two officials with long histories, who are the assistants of the prime minister. There are also young historians, expeditions, etc. There are also Xicao, Dongcao,
They are responsible for the removal of officials, the affairs of the county and state, the memorial to the emperor, the collection of rented grain, etc. However, over the years,
The etiquette system of the imperial court is chaotic. These so-called fifth- and sixth-grade petty officials are mostly fictitious. On weekdays, they are mostly held by some of the officials' children. Therefore, at this time, they do not go to the Prime Minister's Palace to work at all and are really in charge of the world.
The only people left were Tuotuo and Ruzhongbai. Therefore, Tuotuo was left alone in the huge Prime Minister's Mansion.
Tuotuo glanced at Xiao Yun while holding the scissors and said, "Master Xiao doesn't have to be formal with these red tapes?"
"Thank you, sir?" Xiao Yun felt his legs were numb when he knelt down. Just now, he was secretly cursing the bastard official who invented the ritual of kneeling and worshiping. After hearing what Bald Hair said, he was still polite and stood up straight.
Only then did Tuotuo realize that Xiao Yun was broad-shouldered and thin-waisted, and that he was extraordinary in martial arts. His eyes lit up and he secretly praised, "I didn't expect that there are such people among the southerners!" But his eyes returned to coldness for a moment, and he stared at Xiao Yunduo.
: "Master Xiao's martial arts and literary talents are unparalleled in the world. Now that he has won the beauty with his sword, he can be said to be proud of the spring breeze, right?"
Xiao Yun was not sure what the purpose of Tuotuo's summoning him was for a moment. Hearing what he said, he could only say cautiously: "My lord, it's serious. Resigning to an official position is just a temporary luck. It doesn't count."
Tuotuo nodded: "He takes credit but is not arrogant. He is indeed a character." Feeling good about him, his tone softened a lot and he said slowly: "Master Xiao, don't you feel that things are going too smoothly in front of you?"
Xiao Yun was startled and said secretly: "What do you mean, sir?"
Tuotuo secretly said: "You are indeed a smart person?" He nodded and said: "Yes, from my point of view, Mr. Xiao seems to be in trouble?"
Xiao Yun has been worried about Tuotuo's discovery of the military training ground since he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. Seeing that he kept silent about the matter, he felt relieved. However, listening to the tone of Tuotuo's words, it seemed that someone was against him, but
Who would be harmful to him? Apart from the Seventh Prince, Xiao Yun really couldn't think of anyone else. After thinking about it, he said, "Sir, could it be that someone is harmful to me?"
Tuotuo said: "Master Xiao is indeed a smart person, and talking to a smart person is really effortless?"
Xiao Yun said: "This is natural. As the saying goes, you are not afraid of enemies who are like gods, but you are afraid of teammates who are like pigs. Although the official is not extremely smart, he will never be stupid, right?"
"Aren't you afraid of enemies who are like gods, but are you afraid of teammates who are like pigs?" Tuotuo muttered this sentence for a few words, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Master Xiao is really funny in his words. No wonder Ru Zhongbai is right to
You were full of praise, and it turned out to be the case when we saw him today! Let’s go and talk in the back hall. “Tuotuo patted his shoulder affectionately, waved his sleeves slightly, and went ahead, acting vigorously and resolutely, which is quite the demeanor of everyone.
Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "Damn it, is it possible that this sentence has not been published at this time?" But seeing that Tuotuo had a good impression of him, he was also very satisfied and followed Tuotuo to the back hall.
The back hall is not accessible, but the layout is extremely simple and clean. There are piles of various documents and documents to be done on the desk. There is only a picture scroll six feet wide and two and a half feet high hanging on the wall.
It is the most famous "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" painting of the Shu Han Dynasty. It is brightly colored and the image of Liu, Guan, and Zhang visiting the thatched cottage three times in the snow is so lifelike that people can't help but take a second look.
Taking off his sleeves and waving them, he raised his head and entered the back hall. He gently put the big scissors in his hand on the big wooden table under the case, then sat down on the Taishi chair next to the wooden table. Xiao Yun now
Only then did I see that tea was still boiling in the teapot on the wooden table under the calligraphy and painting, and the sound of gurgling was intermittent, which sounded very pleasant to the ears.
"Master Xiao, please sit down?"
Xiao Yun cupped his fists and thanked him, and sat down on a wooden chair opposite Tuotuo. Tuotuo took the teapot and poured tea into the teacup. After a steaming mist of tea passed, a burst of fragrance began to fill Xiao Yun's nose.
He sniffed his nose gently, but he didn't want to push the teacup towards him and said, "Master Xiao, does he know where the trouble at hand comes from?"
Xiao Yun knew it well and said with cupped fists: "I am a stupid official. I hope you can give me some advice?"
Tuotuo laughed, glanced at Xiao Yun's face intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "The Seventh Prince is very ambitious. He has wanted to get involved in the army for many years, but has been rejected many times by the truth. Therefore, even though the Seventh Prince has been powerful over the years,
But there was no achievement. This time the imperial court sent troops to attack Zhang Shicheng. Looking at the truth, the reason why the Seventh Prince tried his best to condone the emperor's creation of the position of Han Pioneer Officer was for the obvious purpose? "
Xiao Yun listened silently and did not answer.
Tuotuo glanced at him appreciatively and continued: "The Seventh Prince wants to take this opportunity to insert his confidants into the army to expand his political power. In this sword showdown before the emperor, I believe Mr. Xiao also saw a hint of the spear.
?”
Xiao Yun secretly screamed loudly: "Indeed, this time the emperor is better than me. From the seventh prince instigating Zhao Huan and trying to win over Lu Jiabao at all costs, it is enough to prove that the seventh prince really wants to start military affairs? It's just that Xiao Yun hasn't understood it yet.
What is the secret of this? Especially the trouble of Tuotuo theory? "
After thinking for a while, he said: "What the Prime Minister said is not unreasonable, but I just don't understand that the Seventh Prince is involved in the army. At best, he has a conflict with you. I am just a petty official, and it is not enough to pose a threat to the Seventh Prince."
What kind of threat?"
These two sentences were extremely rude, but the Seventh Prince was worthy of being a prime minister who could hold a boat. He didn't show any anger at all. He smiled and said: "Master Xiao, what are the chances of the Prime Minister sending troops to annihilate the Han traitor Zhang Shicheng this time?"
?"
