Chapter 36: Everyone is in danger
The middle of the moon, the full moon.
This was also the last night Xu Tian stayed in the Minister's Mansion.
If it is on Earth, today is Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xu Tian looked at the sky full of confusion. It was the long-lost starry sky on the severely polluted earth.
"I don't know how the family is..."
I miss my family more during the holidays.
Xu Tian is naturally no exception.
After leaving the native earth, I don’t know if there is any chance to go back in the future. When he thought that he might never meet his parents and friends again in his life, his heart was in a state of confusion.
There is a sense of suffocation called loneliness that surges in my heart.
Suddenly... I miss the mooncakes so much.
After loving homesickness, Xu Tian couldn't help but recite: "When will the bright moon come? I asked the blue sky with wine. I don't know what palace in the sky is, and what year is tonight..."
"Good poem!"
Suddenly, he heard a sigh of exclamation. Xu Tian didn't turn around and knew that it was Lin Miyue who came.
"Miss, I didn't break my promise."
Xu Tian raised his glass to the moon, but he spoke to the beauty.
"Yes, the little woman never expected that the adults would really defeat Gongsun evil thief in just one month."
Lin Miyue has changed back to her previous dress, covering her face with a red gauze. Others can no longer look at her bright eyes and white teeth like she did when she was dressed as a man.
Xu Tian smiled and said, "It's just that Gongsun Queen is quite cunning. She disappeared as soon as she was kicked out of the Shangshu Mansion. I sent people to inquire everywhere, but I couldn't find him."
Lin Miyue was very grateful for everything he did for herself, and her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, then Gongsun Queen is already in a desperate situation, and she has received the punishment she deserves. Do you have to die? To be honest, the little woman doesn't care so much..."
The topic changed and said, "What the little woman cares most now is the poem that the adults just read... is it the adults' work again?"
Xu Tian said without blushing, "Yes, it makes the girl laugh."
Lin Miyue said nothing when she heard this, just looked at Xu Tian's extremely handsome face.
From the beautiful eyes of those waves that were reflected in the bright moonlight, Xu Tian was vaguely seeing a bit of stupidity.
It turns out that goddesses also worship others...
Xu Tian couldn't help but smile: "Girl, you can't... fall in love with me, right?"
Lin Miyue still didn't speak, and she didn't show too much shyness like the ordinary girl in Huaichun. Instead, she smiled gently and turned around and left.
As soon as she walked out a few steps, she suddenly stopped and said without looking back:
"Sir, I have already composed the song "Quiet Night Thoughts" you gave me last time. It's a pity that my piano is still in the Shangshu Mansion. When you enter Shangshu Mansion, please give me some advice?"
Xu Tian drank the remaining wine in the cup and said, "I dare not give advice. I am lucky to be able to appreciate the piano skills of Qin Sheng."
"Are you lucky in three lives..." Lin Miyue smiled, "But the little girl still remembers that on the day she first met, the adults didn't seem to be interested in the little girl's Feng Laiqin at all..."
Xu Tian thought to himself that the girl was so impressed by the first meeting between them. She forgot the scene at that time. She immediately laughed and said, "Where is where, the girl is joking."
Lin Miyue smiled again and left alone.
The next day.
"Congratulations to Lord Shangshu!"
"Congratulations to Lord Shangshu!"
"Congratulations to Lord Shangshu for moving to his new home!"
...
Xu Tian was promoted to the Minister of War and moved from the Minister of the Secretariat to the more grand and luxurious Shangsariat's Mansion.
It is completely different from the scene when he was in the Shilang Mansion before.
The officials who had originally kept away from Xu Tian because of Gongsun Empress, all of them actively brought congratulations to visit.
In fact, these officials have not recovered.
Prince Yulan, who was only sixteen years old, was the Left Minister of War, and was suppressed by his superiors. He had a slim future, so everyone drew a clear line with him and did not dare to interact with him.
As a result, in just one month, he suddenly squeezed his boss away and replaced him.
From becoming an official to being promoted, he broke historical records.
These officials were immediately in danger.
After all, except for a few neutral factions who retract their heads into the shell of a turtle, most of the officials in Hangzhou belong to the Gongsun Hou family.
Now that Gongsun Hou falls, they will face a very realistic problem.
Can Xu Tian tolerate them?
So they were all anxious and couldn't wait to curry favor with the new leader, rushing to express their fence-bearing position.
Feng Shui takes turns, and it’s your turn to be strong today, so we’re here to cling to you.
Never mess with us.
Xu Tian ignored all these people and refused all their gifts, leaving no one behind, and only accepted the gift list.
He also said that he was tired and didn't want to meet guests, so he was all sent away.
The mentality of not being able to figure out the new leader made the group of officials who had left him outside the door feel very stressed.
The cautious neutral officials dare not speak too much.
Some officials also think that Xu Tian may really have two tricks.
"I never expected that Lord Gongsun said that he would be taken off after his black hat."
"Shh, be careful, you can't call Lord Gongsun anymore. He is no longer the Minister of War."
"Yes, yes, Lord Liu reminded me."
"Originally, the weather in Hangzhou was calm, and since the call of Prince Malan, the devil in the world, changed the sky in a blink of an eye."
"We really underestimated Prince Malan in the past..."
"A memorial made His Majesty demote Gongsun Empress, and he was promoted to another level. Is this method really something that only a sixteen-year-old boy can do?"
"You have to be careful to serve this new boss in the future..."
But most officials are still not optimistic about Xu Tian.
"Didn't he bet with His Majesty? If the epidemic is not cured within one month, he will kill the nine clans? Do you think he can do it?"
"He won't have the ability to do this, wait and see. I believe that he wants the head to fall."
"It's just a sensational look. In the end, he must rely on his father, King Magnolia, to ask His Majesty for his life."
"Your Majesty may not be willing to forgive me, after all, this is the crime of deceiving the monarch."
"This new Secretary of State's move is to rely on his father as the King of Magnolia to attract attention. It is probably a flash in the pan. Please wait for Lord Gongsun to resume his post."
"I'm afraid I don't know the consequences of deceiving the king. This will affect his entire Magnolia Mansion."
"He probably wanted to leave a good reputation among the people and exchange it for his life. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous."
"That's right, my life is gone, what's the use of having a good reputation?"
Most officials still don't think he can really cure the plague.
It can be said that they are all waiting to see Xu Tian beheaded.
However, on the surface, these people all gave gifts to the door to congratulate.
After all, no matter whether Xu Tian’s head falls into the ground a month later, it will not affect his position as the top leader of Hangchuan this month.
If you want to deal with them, you just need to move your fingers.
