Chapter 440: One's own people use it to feel comfortable
In the cold night, a cool breeze blew across the back of Qiu Guogong's neck.
The old minister felt secretly in his heart, but on his face he could only be happy with the emperor.
Xia Houjie's mood improved. Halfway through the game of chess, he raised his head and looked around, and said as if unintentionally: "Qiu is not in the house?"
The old man coaxed the emperor to pull the ball. He chatted for a long time, just worried that the emperor would be interested in his son before he returned to the palace. This was good, the emperor asked, and he had to go back.
"Returning to the Emperor, Quanzi has been busy with official duties recently and often comes back late. He is wandering around somewhere today. If the Emperor has something to send him to, I will immediately send someone to find him."
Beyond what he said, Duke Qiu didn't know whether the servants in the mansion had found his son Qiu Suan.
Really!
The more you are afraid of something, the more you become afraid of it.
On weekdays, when I light lamps and boil oil at home and go to work, I am too late to welcome the Holy Spirit.
Today I went out to meet those colleagues who were flirting with each other, but I bumped into each other.
The old Duke was anxious for his son, and secretly looked at the expression of Wan Sui today. Xiahou Jie's expression was already different from when he first entered the mansion.
But Qiu Guogong still did not dare to be presumptuous and dealt with it cautiously.
The current restoration of the Qiu family was rewarded by the current Emperor Longqing. Huang En is so powerful, how could the Qiu family not deal with it carelessly.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look outside.
This damn son, why haven’t I seen his ghost yet?
Xiahou Jie casually changed his posture. Although he asked Qiu Suan more, he had no intention of continuing to delve deeper. This made Qiu Guogong feel more nervous.
I don’t know how many times I secretly scolded my son.
Emperor Long Qing raised his eyes and glanced at him, picked up a chess piece with his fingertips and dropped it on the chessboard, "Don't worry, old master, Qiu Shilang is probably in Rouwen Township at the moment and has not yet returned to his soul. ”
Scared!
Duke Qiu secretly took a deep breath!
To be able to blurt out these words from Emperor Longqing's mouth, I am afraid that the emperor knew it well before he came to Qiu Mansion.
Now, this matter in Beijing really cannot escape the eyes of this emperor.
Qiu Guo Gong stood up and prostrated to the ground, with his forehead on the back of his folded hands, "I am ashamed of myself, I have failed to teach my son well, please punish me!"
"Old Duke, please rise up, this matter It's just a trivial matter, why should I worry about it?"
Xiahou Jie raised his hand to support him gently, and Duke Qiu accepted it. He thanked the saint again, and then stood up and sat down again.
The atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers suddenly became a little quiet and strange.
Xiahou Jie didn't say much, looking like he was concentrating on playing chess.
On the opposite side, Qiu Guogong observed for a while and roughly figured out that the words that Emperor Longqing just "clicked" were not specifically to find Qiu Suan's fault, but just insinuated " Reminder".
As long as he, the emperor, wants to know something, he will definitely know it.
The capital is not big, but the world is not small.
This invisible and faint shock made Qiu Guogong nervous for a moment, and he did not dare to have any objections.
Xia Houjie's eyes swept lightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the light in his eyes seemed very satisfied.
Sure enough, when I can't sleep at night, it's a bit interesting to come out and see the ministers' appearances.
"Play chess, play chess." Xiahou Jie said with a faint smile.
It seemed as if he didn't realize how much psychological pressure he had put on the old minister just now.
In the warm chess room, Qiu Guogong was so sleepy that he was scared away by Emperor Longqing!
The wind was blowing on the treetops, and Wei Xi, the general manager who was guarding the porch outside the door, looked intently at the sky above Qiu Mansion for a while.
Behind me was the conversation between the monarch and his ministers that could only be heard but not heard. "The old Duke has experience in dealing with things and has the ability to know people. I wonder who is suitable for Qin Tianjian's work and can fall into the eyes of the old Duke?"
What Emperor Long Qing said was really too polite.
The Duke of Qiu was so frightened that he dared to overstep his authority and help the emperor get involved in such a big thing.
"Your Majesty, the post of Qin Tian Supervisor is no small matter. Wang Yu is not good at doing things, but he is very talented. Your Majesty suddenly asked the minister. The minister could not find out how many people in the court could be found. "It's not easy to be worthy of this important position."
Emperor Long Qing said lightly.
Qiu Guogong said sincerely that the position used to be like a fat and salty job, but now it is not the same in the court. Even the former eunuch Wang Yu was killed because of his carelessness and angered Long Yan. Almost lost his life.
If the old wise king hadn’t come forward to save a life, I don’t know how serious the consequences would have been.
Others may not have as much face as Wang Yu, and they can invite noble people to come out.
Ever since the legendary Xie family gods "appeared" over the ancestral hall on the day when the Protector's house was confiscated, the current emperor's temperament has become uncertain.
The emperor's thoughts, which were already unclear, became even more difficult to figure out and became even more bizarre.
Duke Qiu remembered the rumors mentioned by his son after he returned home yesterday.
After the New Year, the emperor in the palace may have the idea of drafting.
After listening to what his son said, Qiu Guogong didn’t think there was anything wrong with the emperor’s talent show. As a ninety-five-year-old man, he was just selecting a few more beauties to fill his harem for eye candy, and they were not worthy of public attention. The courtiers were talking a lot.
However, the son's expression when he mentioned this was quite strange.
This made the old Duke secretly remember it in his heart.
Now, the emperor mentioned to him the matter of selecting the head of the Qin Tian Supervisor. The Qiu family has received divine grace and should help the emperor to solve his problems.
But Duke Qiu knew very well that with the Qiu family's current favor, he could only bow down and act like a pony in front of the emperor, and he must not get carried away and be self-righteous.
He guessed that Emperor Longqing was just "talking casually" in front of him tonight and was not asking for his opinion.
"Is there anyone you like, Your Majesty?"
Xia Houjie shook his head, "I haven't decided yet."
Qiu Guogong thought, so suspenseful!
It is right not to express an opinion. The emperor said "I haven't thought about it yet", not "I haven't thought about it yet."
In other words, the emperor already has a suitable candidate in mind. .
Qiu Guogong accompanied him and said with a smile: "The emperor is wise and wise, and there will definitely be capable ministers in the world to help him!"
Xiahou Jie raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Guogong steadily for a long time.
Seeing the latter made her heart pound.
"Your Majesty, what did Wei Chen say wrong?"
Hearing this, Xiahou Jie suddenly laughed, lowered his head, his voice was low and mixed with a hint of joy.
"You are worthy of being my Duke An of Daliang. My love for you and your words from the bottom of my heart are very much in my heart."
Xiahou Jie was coaxed into a happy mood by Qiu Guogong's words.
He must be a minister that he needs to use, so that he can feel comfortable and every word he says is pleasant to his ears!
Unlike the stubborn old man in the Protector's Palace, every day he opened his eyes and only stared at his faults as an emperor. I really don't know if this world still belongs to their Xiahou family!
Xia Houjie was laughing heartily in the greenhouse.
Outside, the chamberlain Wei Xitong reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Qiu, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, is outside asking for an audience!"
"Let him come in."
