"Spiritual cultivation." Prince Jin sat down, his smile disappeared, his eyes were cold and majestic, "You are the person next to the prince, but that doesn't mean you can be so presumptuous in front of me."
Ling Xiu's face was cold, his lips pursed and he said nothing.
King Jin was unhappy, but he thought that by recruiting him over, he would be able to kill two birds with one stone. He would know a lot of things Nangong Yitian was doing secretly, and he would also be disgusted by Nangong Yitian. He had no choice but to endure his impatience and said: "Spiritual practice, I, the king, two days ago I invite you to come over for a drink, and I have something to tell you. I believe the prince has told you about this, but the prince has not given me an answer, so I have to ask you what you mean."
A trace of doubt flashed in Lingxiu's eyes, but then he returned to normal, "His Highness has said many things, I don't know which one the prince is referring to."
Looking at his expression, King Jin knew that Nangong Yitian had not told him, and this was playing into his hands. Nangong Yitian didn't say anything, and he clearly didn't want to let go, but who doesn't want to be an official?
He smiled and said: "Of course I want you to take up the post of Minister of War. Has the prince asked you what you mean? What do you think? Are you interested?"
Lingxiu didn't move for a while, and his pupils trembled a few times, seemingly filled with ecstasy, but also slightly stunned.
Prince Jin kept staring at him. Seeing this, he was very sure that Nangong Yitian had not mentioned this matter when he went back. As expected, Nangong Yitian was unwilling to let go.
He was originally worried that Nangong Yitian would be happy to see Lingxiu enter the Ministry of War, but after thinking about it, after Lingxiu entered the Ministry of War, he was full of uncertainties, because this official position was given by him, not by Nangong Yitian. Lingxiu He will make his own choice as to who he should be loyal to.
And even if Ling Xiu is loyal to the prince, he can still make Ling Xiu compromise by controlling Ling Xiu's family.
Therefore, Nangong Yitian must have thought of this, so he didn't mention this matter to Lingxiu.
"Lingxiu, what do you think?" King Jin asked calmly.
Lingxiu's face has returned to calmness and indifference, but his tone is a little softer, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Lingxiu is already busy with errands and can no longer serve in the Ministry of War."
King Jin naturally guessed that he would say this. Nangong Yitian did not allow it or even mentioned it. Of course Lingxiu did not dare to make the decision without permission and go to the Ministry of War.
However, no one can refuse, even if spiritual cultivation is possible, this matter has become a rift between him and Nangong Yitian.
"You don't have to agree to this king so quickly. Go back and think about it for a few days." King Jin stood up and patted his shoulder. "Or, you can discuss it with the prince when you go back. You are a talented person and should serve the imperial court as a captain of the bodyguard. , I really wronged you."
The expression on Lingxiu's face was particularly complicated, and he remained silent for a long time.
"Go back and take your mother and sister back." King Jin felt particularly proud when he saw that his goal had been achieved, especially when he saw Leng Ao who had lost his spiritual cultivation.
Power is indeed the best thing.
In the embroidery room, Concubine Xiao was also talking to Mrs. Ling, "Our prince really appreciates Lingxiu. This time he promoted Lingxiu to the position of minister of the Ministry of War against all opinions. In the past few days, he has been trying to persuade those officials who opposed it. , I hope that Lingxiu can cherish the prince’s nurturing heart and make some achievements in office..."
She said and burst into laughter, "Look at my memory, I haven't even agreed to take up the post yet."
Mrs. Ling couldn't believe it. King Jin was willing to promote Ling Xiu to be the Minister of War, regardless of the past grievances?
That was the Vice-Chancellor, at least a fourth- or fifth-rank official. In the past, she had interacted with the wives of those officials, and the Vice-Chancellor's wife was extremely arrogant and majestic.
That was what she had dreamed of.
If Lingxiu becomes the Minister of War, she will be the Minister's mother.
