Liu Mingzhi stopped in the living room and sat quietly for a while. When he heard the servants serving tea to Wei Yong, he got up and walked towards the front of the hall laughing.
"I was just talking, why are the magpies standing on the branches outside the window and chirping non-stop early in the morning? It turns out that there are distinguished guests coming to the door.
The humble house is really full of splendor when Lord Wei, the Prime Minister of Wei, who is one of the prime ministers and assistants of the court, comes to visit. "
Wei Yong, who was about to drink tea, heard Young Master Liu's smiling voice. He gently put down his tea cup and stood up to bow to Young Master Liu.
"I have seen King Bingjian."
Young Master Liu cupped his fists and returned the salute, walked towards the main seat and sat down.
"Prime Minister Wei, please sit down and have a cup of coarse tea. I hope Prime Minister Wei won't dislike it."
"Thank you."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea that his servants had prepared for him, held the tea lid and gently played with the tea foam on the tea surface, and looked at Wei Yong with interest.
"Prime Minister Wei is here. Do you have any advice?"
With a faint smile on his lips, Wei Yong looked at Young Master Liu and took a sip of tea: "I don't want to take advice seriously. I came to visit my old colleagues and let you know that I have been reinstated. I came to the ground specially. Greetings, I plan to have a big banquet for guests and friends at my house in a few days, and I hope to sit down in a humble house with the king's honor and drink a few glasses of wine."
Liu Mingzhi looked astonished: "Really? That's really congratulations.
You are my senior. If I do something wrong in the future, I would like to ask Prime Minister Wei for advice. I will definitely be grateful.
As long as the king is still in the capital, the king of Japan will definitely come to congratulate him when Prime Minister Wei holds a banquet. "
Although Liu Mingzhi said the words of friendship, he kept muttering in his heart.
Guessing the real purpose of the old fox Wei Yong's visit, Liu Mingzhi knew since the last conversation that this old fox was definitely not an ordinary person.
My mind is deep and deep.
I thought that Li Ye's suggestion that he would be reinstated was just an idea, but he didn't expect that it would be implemented so quickly.
The old fox official has been reinstated. Has this old guy Lao Jiang been reinstated as well?
What about those officials who were implicated because of Ren Wenyue?
Wei Yong looked at Mr. Liu's swaying eyes and put the tea cup back with a smile.
"Your Majesty, are you humiliating me?"
"Don't you dare? Why did Prime Minister Wei say this? How dare I humiliate you, a high official designated by His Majesty to be the first-rank official in the dynasty? If this reaches the ears of Old Man Xia, I will be accused of defying the Holy Majesty.
By then, if I have some power, I'm afraid I won't be able to live without it, and Prime Minister Wei won't dare to talk nonsense. "
"Haha, the prince talks so interestingly, so tightly!"
"We are officials in the same dynasty, although we have the same rank, but looking at the world, who doesn't know that you, the one-word king of the current dynasty, are invisible and half superior to me and the childlike appearance.
Although I don’t know what to call the higher half, everyone in the world thinks so.
Why does the prince call himself despicable? "
"Excellence, Prime Minister Wei really praises me. This is just what some mediocre people think. In fact, I am not even a bit worse than Prime Minister Wei.
You, who have been in front of you for a long time, are the central ministers.
Who in the world doesn't know that those in the second rank are the truly powerful ministers of Dalong.
The king must also listen to the decrees you make and implement.
To put it mildly, I am the King of Side by Side, but to put it worse, isn’t it just a border guard general who was demoted to the border and stayed away from the court?
Compared with you, the important ministers of the Great Dragon Center, I am really ashamed of myself.
Alas, things in the world are changing and capricious. To put it bluntly, it is said that one emperor and one courtier are the same. This king, who wanted to get wind and rain in the capital, has finally fallen out of favor.
The bitter cold place that has guarded the border for generations has no chance to be with a prosperous place like the capital.
From now on, you seniors should keep your past feelings in mind and be merciful. "
Listening to Young Master Liu's meaningful words, Wei Yong raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and called a little fox in his belly.
"Your Majesty, your words are too strong."
"It's not serious. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If you borrow this sentence and put it in the court, it will have the same effect.
A distant king is not as good as a close minister.
If you hold grudges and say something slanderous about me, you can only listen to me despite the high mountains and long roads.
Therefore, Sir Wei Xiang, please be merciful and leave some way for me to survive. "
"Haha... Your Majesty, please forgive me for not agreeing. I am in my position and pursuing my own affairs. Now that I have been restored to my original position, I will naturally do what I should do."
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Yong calmly: "I am confused and cannot understand the meaning of what Prime Minister Wei said."
"Whether the prince really doesn't understand, or whether he pretends to be confused because he understands, I have already told the truth. As for how the prince understands it, that is his business."
Liu Mingzhi smiled bitterly and nodded: "Xiang Wei is a real villain!"
"That's ridiculous!"
"I wonder what Prime Minister Wei plans to do after he returns to court?"
"Of course it's the same as always, killing loyal people, making cronies, and eliminating dissidents."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Wei Yong's candid expression and nodded with a strange expression: "Xiang Wei's words are indeed sincere, but they are inevitably a bit harsh."
"I can't help it. What kind of people are needed above, I will naturally do what I want. Otherwise, I won't be reinstated, right? What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Wei Yong, who had a slightly thoughtful expression, nodded with a complex expression, stood up and walked out of the hall, stopped and looked at the scenery in the courtyard: "What kind of people are needed above, just be that kind of person. Thorough, really thorough.
It is no accident that the Prime Minister of Wei was able to dominate the government and the public, and that he was a highly respected minister. "
Wei Yong stood up and followed Young Master Liu to a stop: "Isn't it true that the prince is like this!"
"Besides hosting a banquet, Prime Minister Wei must have other things to do when he comes here."
"Your Majesty is indeed very quick-thinking. I am here to see my future opponents."
Liu Mingzhi's eyes narrowed and he looked at Wei Yong in surprise: "Mr. Wei, must he be wrong? Your future opponent should be the first Tong Mansion on Zhuque Street. Did you find the wrong person when you came to this king's house?" place.
I don’t think that a vassal king like me will become the opponent of Prime Minister Wei.
Your opponent is above the court. "
"Haha... The prince should know very well who my opponent is. Does the prince think that given the current situation in the court, Tong Xiang is still qualified to be my opponent?
The opponent of the most treacherous minister who is in power in the government should be the most loyal minister who is high in power in the government. Although Tong Xiang is good, he is no longer suitable for the current situation, and naturally cannot be a qualified opponent. "
"The most loyal minister in the current dynasty, Prime Minister Wei, he praises me too highly.
This king is truly unworthy of the title of the most loyal minister in his dynasty. "
"Whether the prince is the most loyal minister in the dynasty is not a matter of what the prince thinks, but how others view the prince.
As for whether the prince is the most loyal, does it matter? "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Wei Yong sadly: "The important thing is that the number one traitor needs an opponent, right?"
"Your Majesty is a great talent, but what your Majesty said is wrong. It's not that I, the most treacherous official in the dynasty, needs an opponent. It's that the powerful Prince needs an opponent.
It can be said that if I am reinstated to my post as an official, I will still be honored by you, the prince. "
"Haha... He is in a high position and has great authority.
Alas, does Mr. Wei think that this king is a powerful person? "
"More than that. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are so powerful that you, who stand side by side, are on the shoulders of the late emperor.
Otherwise, there would be no title of Second Emperor. "
Liu Mingzhi's face changed with shock, and he looked at Wei Yong with a sinister look.
"Second emperor? What second emperor?"
Wei Yong looked at Young Master Liu's suddenly murderous eyes, without any sign of panic.
With a faint smile, he took out a letter from his arms and stuffed it into Young Master Liu's hand.
"It seems that my trip is worthwhile, and the prince is indeed a qualified opponent.
Farewell! "
Liu Mingzhi stared at Wei Yongwen's back, glanced around, and walked toward the back of the hall with the letter in hand.
Opening the letter, Liu Mingzhi looked at the contents on the paper, his face gradually darkening.
After a long time, Liu Mingzhi lit the rice paper with a fire folding stick and threw it into the brazier.
He rushed towards the study with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Second Emperor!
No wonder it's like this, everything is clear. "
