Chapter 499

The news of Prime Minister Su's illness spread, but what kind of illness he had, was said to be unanimous. Some people even speculated that he should be cleared of the administration of officials in an open manner, but in fact he was very dissatisfied with the current emperor's rapid rectification of administration, so he temporarily stayed away from the court after he was sick. When did the officials get sick and when did they recover?

The court officials who were ranked among the nine ministers and had the great chance to become the new prime minister, but they smelled different smells from it. But before they could make any moves, news came again that the emperor wanted to make his good brother, and the Wei Wei Cheng Mo was the prime minister.

The court was in an uproar. Since its founding, who has served as the prime minister's important position, has not been a great military meritorious person? Although Su Zhi had no military merits, he has experienced the officialdom and has experienced civil affairs. The most important point is, which one of the people who sit in the position of prime minister is not a long beard and older?

Cheng Mo is only twenty-two years old this year and is still a young boy. He ranks high as the prime minister, how can those court officials who have experienced the officialdom convince?

For a moment, cars were coming and going in front of the palaces of the court officials, and it was very lively, but the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion seemed a little deserted.

The weather was warm, and the flowers in the garden were blooming. The garden was full of colorful flowers and fragrant. After dinner, Cheng Mo and Huo Shuhan and the octagonal pavilion in the garden enjoyed the cool air. The maids served tea sets, fruits, and snacks, and waited in the distance.

"I went back to my parents' home in the afternoon." Huo Shuhan looked at Cheng Mo with a smile.

There was something in her words that wanted to arouse Cheng Mo's interest, but Cheng Mo only said "um" and lowered his head to add water to the white porcelain pot, but he didn't look at her at all.

Huo Shuhan picked up a bright red fruit, peeled the peel with his pointed fingers, revealing the snow-white flesh, and handed it to Cheng Mo's lips after adding water, and said, "It's not a solution for you to be angry with Your Majesty like this."

It has been half a month since he helped Su Zhi hand over the resignation memorial. After the king and his ministers disbanded, Cheng Mo handed over the defense in the palace to Zhu San Ge. He took sick leave on the grounds of being sick and closed the door to thank the guests.

Is this going to confront the emperor to the end? Huo Shuhan's advice was ineffective, so he had no choice but to go back to the general's mansion to ask his father for advice.

Cheng Mo was not angry with Liu Xun. He did this just to give Zhu San Ge a chance. Seeing that he might support Wei Yulin, if he could support him, he could feel at ease to hand over Yulinwei to him. As for the position of prime minister, he would not do it. He believed that he did not have the talent and knowledge of the general manager. People should know themselves. Without the talent and knowledge of a country, but with the ambition to take charge of a country, it would harm others.

He took Huo Shuhan's hand and ate the fruit, saying, "Don't get involved in the affairs of the court."

Huo Shuhan gave him a pretty look and said, "How could I get involved? Only Your Majesty is humble. If you dare to give up like this during the reign of Emperor Wu, can you have good results?"

Cheng Mo said: "Emperor Wu will not let me be the prime minister."

Rejecting such a great temptation can only be done by those with strong will. Rejecting is much more difficult than accepting. Is it easier for him?

Seeing that he didn't even want to hear his father's opinions, Huo Shuhan felt a little silenced for a while and said softly: "You are a family and family now. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your wife, children."

While speaking, a "dongdong" sounded, and a crisp childish voice called out: "Father." The little body rushed into Cheng Mo's arms, followed by Gu Pan'er, and repeatedly said: "Slow down."

Jia Jia looked pink and jade-like, with her pink and tender little face, and her big talking eyes flashed. She looked at her father and said, "Honey, hug."

A two-year-old child knows what he just sticks to his father's arms and acts coquettishly.

Cheng Mo hugged her and sat on her lap. Her small body was soft and glutinous, and her snow-white and crystal skin became cold. Holding such a cute daughter, Cheng Mo's heart couldn't help but become soft. He took a melon seed for her to play with, and looked at Gu Paner again.

After dinner tonight, Huo Shuhan first said he wanted to enjoy the flowers and invited Cheng Mo to the garden. He said he was a walk, but he arranged tables, chairs, fruits and snacks in the garden, and sent someone to ask Gu Paner to bring Jia Jia over.

Gu Pan'er glanced at Huo Shuhan, lowered her eyebrows and said with a pleasing look: "Jia Jia misses her father, and she is clamoring to see her, so I have to bring her over."

The child is the best excuse. Cheng Mo glanced at Huo Shuhan and talked to Gu Paner about Jia Jia: "I am already two years old, so it's time to read some words. I'll teach her to read when she's five years old, and then I'll ask her for a wise teacher."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Paner couldn't help but smile, covered his lips with his sleeves, and laughed silently. Huo Shuhan gave Cheng Mo a fierce look and said, "Jia Jia doesn't have to take the imperial examination, why do you do when you are two years old? Besides, you offended Your Majesty this time. Can we, the whole family, live a good life? Let's talk about what Jia Jia was when she was five years old?"

Huo Shuhan had a strong aura and was quite prestigious in the mansion. When she rolled her eyes, Cheng Mo was not doing well, Gu Paner was already stern, he curled his smile, lowered his sleeves, and sat upright, and he was simply staring at him.

Cheng Mo said: "Is the prime minister so easy to be a good person? You must know people and be good at responsibilities and deal with government affairs from all over the country. I have to worry about where the rain ends, and I have to worry about where the drought ends. Why bother?"

"Is it to make you the prime minister, not the emperor? What are you worried about?" Only the couple sits opposite each other, there are no outsiders, and the confidant maid is far away. Huo Shuhan does not avoid it and says to the point: "You only need to assist Your Majesty in handling government affairs and recommend talents to Your Majesty. There is Your Majesty in everything."

After all, he just wants to accept the emperor's appointment.

Because Cheng Mo did not agree, Liu Xun did not approve Su Zhi's resignation. Now the nominal prime minister is still Su Zhi. However, there are rumors outside that Su Zhi spent a lot of money to give up the position of prime minister to his son-in-law in order to make his daughter gain a foothold in his husband's family.

Cheng Mo closed the door and thanked the guests, but had not heard this. If he had heard it, he would be afraid that he would spit on the face of this man. Is the country's weapon so powerful that he would give up if he wanted to?

Cheng Mo just shook his head and saw that the water was boiling, so he carried a pot of tea. The fragrance of flowers mixed with the fragrance of tea, and the tea water was even sweeter and sweeter.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Huo Shuhan deliberately called Qingluo: "Go, please ask the second wife to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers."

Zhao Yufei had just finished her confinement period, but the wind was strong at night, so she didn't want to carry her daughter out for a breath, and she was reluctant to leave her daughter in the room for her mother to take care of her, so she did not respond to Huo Shuhan's request.

Qingluo agreed, just looking at Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo said: "Aren't you making things difficult for others?"

Even the child who was just over a month old was not spared and insisted on talking about the child. It was really unbearable.

Qingluo bowed and retreated, returned to the place where he was standing and waited.
