It was dark early in winter. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Xin Xiran walked out of the mountain and called Fumimi, who was standing by the pavilion. When he came, he did not let Fumimi enter the pavilion, but waited outside the pavilion.

Fushimi lowered slightly, and she felt a little disappointed in her eyes. He was the young master's personal servant. It was logical that the young master had nothing to hide from him, but this time he arranged himself outside the pavilion, which obviously wanted to alienate him.

As Xin Xiran walked, she suddenly said, "When you go back, the old man asks you what you want, you will answer truthfully."

Fushimi was stunned, "Young Master-----"

"I know, the old man has found you back and must have said some harsh words to you. You have served me since childhood, and I don't want to make things difficult for you. If you have any problems from now on, just tell the old man that I will not bring you by my side on important occasions."

Fushimi hangs slightly, and her eyes can't help but flush. When he comes back this time, he is indeed taught and threatened by the master. Because with the lessons of the past, the master told him that everything, as long as the master participates, must be reported truthfully.

While he was in a dilemma, he did not dare to resist the master's words anymore, and he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

But it turned out that the young master had guessed it, no wonder he didn't let him enter the pavilion just now, so he just reported it truthfully, but the young master might be allowed to enter the pavilion, and he really didn't hear anything, only knowing that Mr. Qiu had asked the young master to drink in the middle of the mountain.

Seeing that Xin Xiran had disappeared, Wei Zha stepped forward and put down the wine pot and said, "Young Master, do you really think that the young master of the Xin family is usable? No matter how young he looks, he doesn't look like a person who does big things."

Qiu Ji slowly drank the wine in the glass and tasted the mellowness of the wine. Although he almost drank a pot of wine, he could not see any flushing on his face, and the clarity in his eyes was even more obvious.

"Don't underestimate him, he is a smart man."

Wei Zha then felt a little relieved and smiled, "I can feel relieved if I am so young, it's not in vain for that half a month."

"Let's go." Qiu Ji drank the last little wine, put down his glass and stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

When Qiu Ji returned to Qiu's mansion, he saw Liu Gan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, walking out. Both of them saw each other. Qiu Ji bowed slightly, and Liu Gan also stood up. He greeted him politely for a few words before hurried out again.

These days, Liu Gan often came to the mansion to see Qiu Wanao, just saying that it was the matter in the court. At this time, Qiu Wanao was still "bed in bed". Although the emperor sent a hospital envoy to see him personally, he even looked at the ministers who were "bed in bed" one by one. However, this still failed to make Qiu Wanao "well".

The emperor only withdrew the soldiers stationed outside the mansion a few days ago. Qiu Ji naturally knew the reason very well.

He walked into the east wing in the courtyard and entered his house, completely ignoring the situation of another main house.

At this time, the main house was burning with charcoal fire, the room was warm and the food was fragrant. Qiu Wanao sat on the bed, and the maid was waiting for him to eat.

The servant Qiu Luhou was on the other side, and when Qiu Wanao finished gnawing the chicken legs in his hand, he stepped forward and said, "Master, although King Huaixiang has summoned this banquet at Huiyang, the result is a bit unexpected. I am worried that the one who will not send someone here. Should I go to the censor to go there?"

Although the emperor withdrew the soldiers from the Ministry of Justice, Qiu Wanao still claimed that he was ill and refused to attend court.

As for other ministers, when they were seen by the Imperial Hospital, their illness gradually got better. In a few days, the ministers and workers who went to court were almost all.

But no matter how complete it is, without auxiliary affairs, even though the Hanlin Academy did not go on strike, Zhuang Yan even asked the auxiliary assistant Li Xiangda to temporarily handle the matters of the cabinet, but there were still many mistakes in the matters of the cabinet.

It should be noted that the memorials Zhuang Yan read on weekdays were all the cabinet assistant Qiu Wanao who passed by first, and the cabinet ministers discussed the bill before submitting them to Zhuang Yan for the final decision.

The cabinets all use Qiu Wanao as their subordinates. Although Li Xiangda is the secondary assistant, he has been suppressed by Qiu Wanao for more than ten years.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Since there is a support, the existence of the support is not that important. Especially for the past ten years, Qiu Wanao has controlled the government affairs, and the cabinet has already followed him. It is naturally even more difficult for Li Xiangda to show his strength.

Everyone knows what Qiu Wanao is sick this time. Everyone is a discerning person. Qiu Wanao clearly shows that he will not give face to the little emperor.

He knew that he would not be able to move forward in the court for a day. Even with Li Xiangda there, he knew that those cabinet ministers would not take Li Xiangda seriously.

And what he thought was indeed the case. Li Xiangda was secretly happy that his debut day was about to come. Unexpectedly, even if Qiu Wanao was not in the cabinet, these ministers would not give him any face when he looked at Qiu Wanao's face.

Any opinions raised would be opposed, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and the ministers praised it. Although Li Xiangda was angry, he was helpless.

Whether his status is noble or not is given by the emperor, but now the emperor is obviously suppressed by Qiu Wanao. Even if he is the secondary assistant, he has no say.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Qiu Wanao was so unscrupulous. He took the hot towel handed over by the maid, wiped his hand and threw it into the tray, and sneered: "The little emperor thought he had grown up and had a bright future, so he could face me. However, he didn't know that without me in this court, he would not be able to walk a step.

Although the incident of the vassal king's rebellion was beyond my expectations, it was not without benefits for me. Haha------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although Qiu Lu knew his master's temper, he was still shocked when he heard this. He asked the emperor to carry a sedan chair to court in eight. There has been no such precedent in ancient times.

He said secretly that only his master has this temper, but he smiled and slapped himself: "The little one is too worried, the master is far-sighted, everything is under control, the little one is too talkative."

At that time, in the palace, Zhuang Yan looked at several irrelevant notes in front of him, and knew that the old people in the cabinet were detaining important matters, but there was no way. The cabinet was full of Qiu Wanao's people, and Li Xiang was alone and it was difficult to keep going inside.

Not long ago, he learned about the marching of five vassal kings including Guangping. In the past few days, the ministers in the court must have learned about this.

Since ancient times, rebellion by vassal kings has not been rare, especially now that rebels are everywhere, this incident is even less surprising.

However, the vassal kings are all local monarchs, with power, power, soldiers and wealth. Everyone should not be underestimated. Moreover, there are five people in Guangping this time. Regardless of whether the news is true or not, he must make a response to this.

But Qiu Wanao stopped the court, and no one of the ministers in the court mentioned this matter in the past few days. Zhuang Yan knew what they meant. Qiu Wanao's influence in the court was even greater than that of him.
