"Of course I know I can't hide it from Your Majesty." Zong Mao filled his empty cup, and the clear bamboo leaves green were like a pool of spring rivers in the green cup, "But..., isn't your Majesty asking me to be the prime minister for this?"

Ji Hong was stunned. It turned out that Zong Mao understood everything.

Zong Mao stretched out his fingers, rolled up his sleeves to look at it, wiped away the wine from the corner of his mouth. Although he became the prime minister, he was as vulgar as the village head in front of someone he knew. But in front of strangers, it was completely different. He would be like the scorching sun, and the mighty others dare not look up at him.

"You all have a biased opinion. I am the prime minister of the Great Zhou. If I am like Ma Shiying and I am with civil servants and scholars, and like Liu Suifeng, I try to use countless tough spider silks to stabilize my power, how can I become this prime minister?"

His chest became hot. Ji Hong was a "red horse" who was ridiculed by everyone in the grassland. Although he blushed when drinking, he could not get drunk for a thousand cups. But his alcohol content was very normal. After drinking a few cups of bamboo leaf green, his body spreads heat from the inside to the outside.

"Do you know everything?" Ji Hong found himself a little like a fool.

"Come on," Zong Mao brought the wine bottle, "Just because you come to me and talk about this, we will be brothers in our lives."

Ji Hong drank it all in one drink.

Zong Mao was just like when he was a teenager, he could show off his skills in Beijing City. He could not bear the sand in his eyes and boldly exposed Geng Guang's greed for money. No matter where he went, he was the most dazzling star.

Some abilities are born, and Ji Hong only shines once in his life. He advised weakly: "Your Majesty is generous, but the prime minister must stop at the right time. A war is a weapon, let alone a Han Chinese." The voice he spoke sounded a little lacking in confidence.

"You don't understand this," Zong Mao picked up the wine pot and stretched his arm, crossed the entire table and filled Ji Hong with wine. "The country has no faith, and compared with Xinyi, let alone killing hundreds of people, even if thousands of people are blocked in front of me, they will be killed."

"The imperial court auctioned mines, and the people who paid for the money could not mine. How many people watched it? If the Taiping Prefecture matter was not solved, the mines in other places in the Great Zhou Dynasty could no longer be sold. It was nothing more than the local gentry who wanted to get benefits from it. You think the honest people had the courage to be honest. Some people wanted to get a hand in everything, and built a thatched cottage on the edge of the mountain and thought that the mountain belonged to them."

"Commercial tax is a law and discipline of the court. Today, Suzhou will resist taxes and tomorrow, Huzhou will resist taxes. If one place is tolerated, the Ministry of Revenue will have money to reorganize the army of the Privy Council."

"The vulgar people only know how to retreat and do not want to offend the people of the Scholars," Zong Mao slapped the table and shouted: "How could the swallows and birds know the ambitions of the Eagles?"

Ji Hong's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and half a cup of bamboo leaf green sprinkled on the table. Seeing that Zong Mao was not paying attention, he quietly placed the wine glass on his lips and drank the remaining wine, covering it up.

In recent years, he has read many books under the supervision of his wife. If he remembers correctly, this sentence comes from "Records of the Grand Historian. Biography of Chen She". Chen She made a rebellion of the Qin Empire shortly after Chen She said this sentence. How could Zong Mao say such a thing?

He chuckled and concealed his anxiety and said, "Prime Minister, I'm just worried."

Zong Mao laughed and said, "Just smile more. Don't be stern all day long. You often come to my mansion for a walk. No matter how busy I am, I can find time to have a few drinks with you."

He turned his head and asked, "Do you live a difficult life? The commander of the Jinyiwei is also a third-rank military position, so why do you often wear common clothes?"

Ji Hongdao: "I am a common man. If His Majesty had not rescued me, I would have been just a savage on the grassland, and I would not even be a common man."

"You..." Zong Mao was speechless, "Now we have followed His Majesty to conquer a large territory. There are more powerful dynasties in the future, and we always think about what we did in the hard days of the past."

Zong Mao's expression and behavior made Ji Hong recover the worries that he had only come to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He had the same idea as Liu Suifeng. No matter how generous your Majesty is, Zong Mao, who is in power, is running towards the abyss unstoppable. There is only one person who can stop him, but Your Majesty is clearing the obstacles to his future.

"You say that people are strange, and the one you can't see through the most is yourself." Ji Hong said something without any end, picked up the wine pot with his left hand, "Come on, I'll have a few drinks with the Prime Minister today."

Today passed, until ten years later, he never came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to drink with Zong Mao. He was the emperor's loyal dog, and interacting with foreign ministers was a taboo. Moreover, he had become accustomed to living in a quiet environment and had to listen to the emperor's orders. He and Zong Mao were brothers, but he was even a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After drinking for a long time, Ji Hong's face looked like pig's liver, and Zong Mao stood up and his body was already shaking.

When the lights were in hand, Ji Hong and Yongying said goodbye and left.

Luying was reluctant to leave and grabbed her sister's hand and said, "Sister hasn't come to see me for a long time. I have only been to my mansion for half a year after entering Beijing. Is it so difficult to find the Prime Minister's Mansion?

"Where," Yongying's warm palm covered the back of her sister's hand, "I will come often in the future."

The guards were waiting at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a carriage, and Zong Mao was extremely rare to see him off to the gate.

The snow on the street was cleaned up, and the carriages were specially used to walk on the quiet street, and the sound of hooves sounded "double". Inside the car, Yongying snuggled in Ji Hong's only arm and said, "Master, I think my sister has changed."

"Has it changed?" Ji Hong laughed in the dark, "Where has she changed? She has always been like that."

"I gave me jewelry today, but I didn't collect it. She was very unhappy. I've never seen such a big bead, as big as an egg, and shining in the light," Yongying deliberately exclaimed. She hugged Ji Hong's strong waist tightly and said with a angrily voice: "You have never bought me such a precious thing."

Ji Hong smiled and said, "She is the wife of the prime minister, you are just the wife of the commander of the third-rank Jinyiwei."

"So what," Yongying pressed Ji Hong's waist tighter, "What's the use of having such a big bead? It's not just put in a box and hidden in a secret room.

She suddenly raised her head, looked at Ji Hong's face that was close and blurry, and said, "Hey, do you know? Zong Xiangguo took two more concubines in Beijing." She turned her fingers and calculated, "Then he already has five concubines now, but those people didn't dare to raise their heads when they spoke in front of my sister."

Ji Hong smiled and said, "I'll tell me, how did she change?"

Yongying was surprised: "Did she be such a person before?"

"Isn't it?" Ji Hong remembered that he was a broken-armed boy back then. Lu Ying was like an old hen to protect her sister and tried every means to stop her from marrying him, a disabled person. He could no longer control himself, and his stomach twitched and laughed.

"Hahaha……"

"why are you laughing?"

The two of them had been chatting for a long time, but the carriage stopped and the voice of the guards came from outside: "Sir, we're home."
