Xie Jiming looked at the four of them as if they knew it, but he just wanted to express his gratitude. Before the meal was finished, he had been classified as a member of Xiao Zimu's party.
Xie Jiming frowned. The sentence asked by the emperor in the early Dynasty meant that he could only be a lonely minister in the future. He was afraid he didn't want to see him too close to the princes. Besides, there were Marquis and old general Zhao coming. He had just taken office and had not handed over. Xie Jiming didn't want to bury a thorn in the emperor's heart, He couldn't help opening his mouth: "since Lord Hou and old general Zhao are coming, I'll leave first."
Ju Cheng hurriedly stopped a column: "Lord Xie, we haven't handed over yet. Why are we leaving now."
Xie Jiming bowed a salute: "the lower officer goes to the work department to hand over first. When Lord Ju finishes eating, he is sending someone to call the lower officer. Let's hand over at the ceremony department."
Wu Taifu was extremely satisfied with his attitude of not flattering or humbling. If Xiao mubai had spoken for him in the court before, this scene really made Wu Taifu see his pride and appreciate his character.
Prime Minister Ju could not pick out the reason for Xie Jiming's words and continued to stop him. He muttered at the corners of his mouth for a long time and looked at Xiao Zimu. Xiao Zimu knew Xie Jiming's temperament. If Xie Jiming sold his face, he would not say goodbye at the moment.
Xiao Zimu looked at Xiao mubai. He didn't have to leave Xie Jiming, but since Xiao mubai left him, he didn't know whether he meant anything else.
Therefore, Xiao Zimu's eyes asked.
Xiao mubai put down the tea lamp in his hand and ignored Xie Jiming. Instead, he looked at Xiao Zimu and began to gossip: "ah Chu and I just discussed what a lonely minister is last night."
Xiao Zimu saw that Xie Jiming's body was stiff and his steps stopped. He bent a smile at the corners of his mouth and asked Xiao mubai, "what is it?"
"A minister who is truly capable and courageous, who dares to take responsibility and do things." When Xiao mubai said this, he hissed: "it's simple to listen to, but it's difficult to do. Now there are more or less many parties in the court. Even those who don't form a party will eventually form their own party. Isn't it absurd?"
Xiao mubai turned his head and looked at Xie Jiming, who was standing there: "Take the appointment of Lord Xie as the Minister of justice this morning. Even if the emperor has the intention, sometimes he can't give up because of the relationship between all parties. The emperor needs someone who is capable, has no party influence, but dares to do things to stand up for him and overcome the public opinion. That's why this minister will stand on the opposite side of all officials, go farther and farther, and be isolated. Lord Xie What do you think? "
Xie Jiming turned around and frowned tightly. He looked at Xiao mubai and said, "what your Highness the king of ink said is very true, and the lower officer deeply thought so."
Xiao mubai shook his head: "but you only know one, you don't know the other."
Xie Jiming involuntarily took two steps back: "but for the second."
Xiao mubai's eyes motioned him to sit down, but Xie Jiming stood in place with his neck tied.
Xiao Mu sneered at the white lips: "Since you have the heart to be an isolated minister, you should not only sympathize with the holy will, but also know the thoughts of all officials. If you can't even understand their thoughts, can you only be an official with a cavity of blood? Just like at the moment, you don't know the king's mind, but you just stubbornly keep yourself clean. If you and I disagree in the court tomorrow, how can you hold down the king?"
Jieji Mingsu's waveless complexion cracked a crack and questioned his self-discipline, which he was always proud of, for the first time in his life.
Xiao mubai saw that his face was loose, and then said, "Lord Xie should know your position. In the future, you are the one who will fight for the emperor, not the one who will let the emperor decide for you with a clear conscience."
Xiao Zimu saw Prime Minister Ju and Wu Taifu on the table, their faces changed slightly, and couldn't help but whisper: "second brother..."
Xiao Mu curled up a cold arc at the corner of his white lips, took up the tea lamp and raised it to Prime Minister Ju and Tai Fu Wu: "eating your salary and bearing your worries, what do you think?"
Wu Taifu's moustache trembled angrily. Good guy, he directly scolded the three humeral ministers. It was Xie Jiming on the surface, but it was directed at him secretly. He usually boasted of being clean and loving feathers.
As for Mr. Ju's face, it's more ugly. In recent years, for fear of others saying that his relatives are hegemonic and do things extremely well, Wu Taifu will stand up and say a few words from time to time, and he is more likely to pretend to be stupid. Xiao mubai's words really make people ashamed.
Wu Taifu and Ju had their own ideas in their hearts, but they still held the tea lamp at the same time and said, "Your Highness the king of ink said yes."
When the scene was once embarrassing, Xin Ya reported that Hou ye and old general Zhao had come.
Xiao mubai said to Xie Jiming, who was about to leave, "since Lord Xie has to go to the work department to hand over, let's leave first."
Xie Jiming was still in a thousand turns in his heart. Suddenly he heard Xiao mubai ask him to step down and talk so much together. Isn't it to let himself stay?
His complexion was complicated, he bowed to the people, turned and stepped back.
Xiao mubai looked at his back and thought deeply. Last night, he told him at the beginning of summer that Xie Jiming was indeed a rare good official, but he was too stubborn and arrogant. Although it was his advantage, it was also his disadvantage.
Officials, they can cover when they don't do much.
Once he is promoted to the position of Shangshu, this advantage will also become his disadvantage. We should mention it as soon as possible.
The reason why he asked Xie Jiming to have dinner with him today is that he guessed the meaning of mentioning. It depends on his own understanding whether he can understand him or not
"Your atmosphere is really strange. Prime Minister Ju Gaosheng doesn't look very happy. What's the matter?" The Marquis and General Zhao stepped in. The Marquis looked at the embarrassed Wu Taifu and Prime Minister Ju. Xiao mubai, who was deep in thought, and Xiao Zimu, who was holding his forehead, asked aloud.
Hearing the speech, the four stood up one after another. After seeing each other, Xiao Zimu greeted them and led them into the seat.
Prime Minister Ju expressed his gratitude to the Marquis Qing: "the old minister must live up to the recommendation of the marquis."
"You deserve it." The Marquis nodded to Prime Minister Ju, nodded, and then turned to Wu Taifu: "I was surprised that Wu Taifu could recommend Xie Jiming in the morning Dynasty today."
Wu Taifu stroked his beard with a proud look: "he deserves it."
Lord Hou pointed to Wu Taifu. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
The old general Zhao beside the Marquis was actually pulled over by the marquis.
In the end, if the Marquis hadn't moved out of Xiao mubai, he said that he strongly invited old general Zhao to Yongning hall for a chat. I'm afraid old general Zhao has gone out of the palace and returned to his house.
