Chapter 371: I was also born from an egg?
None of the officials who can enter the court are fools.
Who doesn’t know what the future will be like if we follow the current trend?
The only way to save themselves now is with Lord Qian and Fang Qing.
As the second-in-command of the court, it is definitely right to keep up with their pace!
Among the Nine Ministers, the officials affiliated with the Cabinet immediately chased after Mr. Qian.
Those under the Prime Minister's command gathered around Fang Qing, rubbing their hands and saying flatteringly, "Prime Minister Fang, Prime Minister Fang!"
"You see, we have worked hard for you before. Have we ever been negligent?"
When Fang Qing heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, but he finally shook his head slowly.
After all, he was parachuted into Liang State to serve as prime minister. According to common sense, if he wanted to gain a foothold in this position, he not only needed to have sufficient qualifications as support, but also had to withstand rigorous tests of his own abilities.
However, Fang Qing successfully secured the position of prime minister from Liu Yuntian simply by relying on his eloquent tongue.
How can people be convinced by such a situation?
When everyone heard the news that Prime Minister Liu had resigned and retired, all the nine ministers in the court stared eagerly at the coveted position.
Therefore, when Fang Qingchu ascended to a high position, almost no one was willing to obey his orders, let alone those small actions of pretending to obey and secretly tripping people up.
Fortunately, Fang Qing was no ordinary person. He first relied on his own scheming and strategy to cleverly resolve one problem after another;
Later, because he obtained a part of the command power of the imperial guards granted by Liu Yuntian, he gradually established his own prestige and finally convinced everyone.
At this moment, facing these people's pleading, Fang Qing really wished he could be like Liu Yuntian did back then, take out a small notebook and write down every bad thing each person had done, so that he could slowly settle the accounts with them.
However, considering that he still had to cooperate with Liu Gong to complete some important tasks, he could only sigh helplessly and reluctantly agreed.
Fang Qing pretended to be at a loss and asked in surprise, "Everyone, we have served in the court together for a long time, and we are old acquaintances. But... why can't I understand what you are saying?"
Seeing that Fang Qing was planning to play dumb, they immediately understood that he was planning to not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit!
Although they are afraid of being replaced, isn't Fang Qing afraid?
He is also a mortal, he must be afraid too!
But unfortunately, one-third of the real power in the court is in his hands. As the saying goes, he who knows the times is a hero!
It’s better to follow Fang Qing and drink soup than to be thrown out to feed the dogs!
One of them stepped forward with a sly smile and said, "Prime Minister Fang, today is my mother's eightieth birthday. I hope you will do me the honor of staying at my humble home."
After saying this, fearing that Fang Qing didn't understand what he meant, he pointed at the people around him and continued, "Everyone present will come by then, so I hope Prime Minister Fang won't refuse!"
"Eh? Didn't your mother die more than ten years ago?"
"..."
The originally lively scene suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere seemed to be frozen, making people feel extremely depressed and embarrassed.
However, Fang Qing, who was in the middle of it, was clear-headed.
He knew very well that although Liu Gong seemed to have divided power into three parts in a high-profile manner, in fact, it was still this group of core figures who truly controlled the situation and dominated the direction of power.
This seemingly divisive trend is nothing more than a means to deceive the public.
Ultimately, they still need to find ways to gather the scattered power in their hands together.
Looking at the officials at all levels surrounding them, they are undoubtedly the backbone of every class.
When it comes to such a group of key figures, we must be tough when it comes to teaching them a lesson, and we must be merciless when it comes to warning them.
It is obvious that this is the real intention of what Lord Qian said before he left!
At this moment, Fang Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then said slowly: "Haha, with such a warm invitation, how can I bear to refuse?"
Before he finished speaking, he nodded readily and agreed.
This sudden response instantly broke the silence on the scene, and everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with ecstatic expressions appearing on their faces.
After all, when it comes to forming a clique for personal gain, one has to act in the guise of forming a clique!
If we can't even get together to plan and discuss secretly, how can we form a party?
……
At this time, Liu Yuntian had already stepped into the gate of Liu Mansion.
He walked lightly through the path in the courtyard and finally arrived at the door of the study.
Following a slight "creaky" sound, Liu Yuntian slowly pushed open the slightly old wooden door.
After entering the study, the first thing that catches your eye is the figure of Liu Ziqing sitting upright at his desk.
I saw him holding a yellowed ancient book in his left hand, gently stroking the gray beard on his chin with his right hand, staring intently at the words on the pages, as if he was completely immersed in the world of the book.
However, when Liu Ziqing noticed his son walking into the room, he couldn't help but look up and his gaze shifted from the book to Liu Yuntian.
Then, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then the smile gradually spread and turned into an obvious sneer.
At the same time, he put down the book in his hand, reached out and picked up the exquisite tea bowl on the table, first sniffed the tea fragrance with his nose, and then took a small sip carefully.
After the tea went down his throat, he finally started to tease, "Are you frustrated?"
Faced with his father's words, Liu Yuntian acted as if he didn't care.
He didn't even glance at Liu Ziqing, but walked straight towards the two large cushions placed in the room.
On the soft cushion, there were two snake eggs of warm color and moderate size lying quietly.
I touched it for a while, feeling the powerful vitality inside, and suddenly thought of something.
I couldn't help but turn to look at my father suspiciously, "I came out of an egg too?"
When Liu Ziqing heard this, his mouth twitched and he accidentally pulled out a strand of his beard.
Dissatisfied, "Of course you are not!"
