When he saw the little official who reported the news lowered his hand, Old Master Yue's gaze naturally fell on Zhao Qingya, who was ashamed. He did not look at Pei Xu, who was full of gloomy face, but came to Zhao Qingya. He held the man's arm and did not say anything sad and perverted, but whispered: "How about going out and breathe?"

Zhao Qingya nodded stiffly, and when he staggered out of the political affairs hall and came to the empty place in front of him, two lines of tears rolled out from his eyes: "The others are at my age and their parents are gone, but although my mother is here, she never wants to come with me to Jinling, saying that she should control my brothers and nephews at home so that they will not cause trouble for me."

"She has really done it. In recent years, although there are no amazing figures in the Zhao family, there are no unworthy children who ruin their family traditions. This is the result of her nearly 90s trying her best to control her children and grandchildren. Everyone thinks that being rich and well-behaved, but I always feel that playing with grandchildren in my old age is not to worry about every day. That is the enjoyment. From this level, I am sorry for her..."

Old Master Yue knew that Zhao Qingya didn't want his own comfort, so he just played the most perfect and patient listener. It was not until a long time after Zhao Qingya's almost murmuring words that suddenly burst out of emotions finally finished, and he sighed deeply.

"No matter what, Lingtang is a rare longevity. Lingtang has been so dedicated to the children over the years. In the future, the Zhao family will be full of talents. When worshiping the ancestral temple, who would have forgotten the kindness of blessing her descendants? The most common thing in this world is that my son wants to raise him but his relatives are not waiting for him. I thought that before my marriage, my parents died, and then my father-in-law who was very kind to me passed away, and then Zhujing passed away before his son became adults. If my sons had not grown up well, my reputation for being close to him would have spread long ago."

After all, Zhao Qingya was an inevitable emotional fluctuation at first, but as he spoke, he was actually in a stable mood. He was just taking advantage of the conversation to observe whether his formerly shrewd and powerful colleague was insincere. However, seeing the face of Mr. Yue’s melancholy and as if he was recalling his deceased relatives, he gradually gave up his original idea.

Even if the old man really covets his position as prime minister, so what? How could he leave his mother's funeral and not go to the position of power? If he is really arbitrary in the Political Affairs Hall, he will be gone as soon as he leaves, which will lead to national affairs disorder, or a national crisis or military disaster, that would be fine. Now is definitely not the time to use regulations such as robbing love!

He calmed down and then spoke sincerely: "You and my colleagues have been together for many years. Now that I am going to take over as prime minister, the emperor will naturally feel at ease, but I am afraid that the scholars and families will all try their best to obstruct me. I will try my best to restrain my disciples and old friends, but when the tea is gone, I can't guarantee that many people will listen to me."

"I appreciate your feelings." Old Master Yue smiled slightly, and his wrinkled face showed strong confidence. "I have been sailing against the current, fighting against the sky, fighting against the earth, fighting against people all my life, and never fearing the enemy. Moreover, once a person has no enemies, he will lose his fighting spirit. If there are enemies, I think those who always fear me as the only ones can rest assured."

Zhao Qingya couldn't help but feel silent. After a while, he smiled and said, "I thought you would be humble. After all, seeing Pei Xu like this, he was afraid that he would go back and call his fellow disciples to fight you immediately."

"When have I been afraid of him?" Old Master Yue raised his chin contemptuously, and then said lightly, "If the third person in the Political Affairs Hall was not him, maybe I would still want to give in, but since it was him, hehe, the position of Prime Minister is in his hands, that would be awful! But if you, if you can, I would rather partner with you, you really don't want to take the love?"

"Loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. That is something that only war soldiers need to worry about. If civil officials like me don't even talk about filial piety, they are worse than pigs and dogs. If possible, I hope you will advise the emperor to advise him, and even this decree is not necessary. I have been in the Political Affairs Hall for so many years. Even if my descendants are restrained by my old mother, they must be arrogant and let them know that I have no intention of issuing love this time. The emperor has no intention of issuing an edict to seize love. It can also make these arrogant boys think that I have lost power and restrain themselves."

Old Master Yue didn't expect Zhao Qingya to think of this move. After being stunned, he couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he stroked his neatly combed beard and asked with his head tilted, "But have you ever thought about it? If you really wrote a letter to ask Ding You, if the emperor didn't even want to keep him, he would seem very affectionate?"

Seeing Zhao Qingya's face suddenly stagnated, Old Master Yue blinked and said, "In short, it is not your final say whether to take over love or not. If you want to control your children and grandchildren, you can use other methods, but you can't make the decision to attack the emperor."

After saying this, Old Master Yue turned around and left with his hands in his arms. Zhao Qingya looked at his slow and cautious look. As soon as he left, this colleague who had gone from grassroots to now and was about to be promoted to prime minister would truly stand at the top of the civil and military affairs of the court. According to the other party's always-official character, he could clearly feel relieved, but why was he a little uneasy now?

No matter how strong or powerful the old man Yue is, he can't eradicate all the Shilin and the aristocratic family, right?

When Zhao Qingya staggered back to the Political Affairs Hall, he saw that it was empty, and Old Master Yue and Pei Xu had already left. Thinking that this might be his last day here, he couldn't help but look around and feel mixed feelings in his heart.

No matter what, he once stood at the highest point in this huge country, and once guided the country, and now he should be content. After three years of sorrow, he doesn't have to seek a comeback. It's enough to enjoy a peaceful life at home.

At this moment, Zhao Qingya saw a small official lying at the door, frowned and shouting: "What are you doing sneakily there? If you have something to come in and say!"

The little official was originally a person Zhao Qingya has cultivated over the years. When he heard this order, he quickly stepped in, bowed and whispered: "Prince, I just got the news. Today, Zhong Ling from Wenhua Pavilion took people to Wuying Pavilion for exchange, but it seemed that he lost a lot. Moreover, Zhong Ling's uncle, Zhong Liang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, also went..."

He briefly explained to Zhao Qingya what happened in Wuying Pavilion today. Seeing that the prime minister who was about to sue Ding You had a very strange expression, the little official asked carefully: "Prince Master, will Lord Zhong suddenly compete with Old Master Yue..."

"Needless to say, since everything happens to be together, they will do whatever they like. Anyway, I won't be able to control it in the future." Zhao Qingya stretched out his hand to signal the little official not to continue talking, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, if Zhong Liang knew that he was about to Ding You, how horrified would be on his face.

But no matter what, the imperial party would probably go through a reshuffle. How could Mr. Yue, who was never merciful, tolerate someone like Zhong Liang... Wait, didn't that shrewd old man know the news of his mother's death long ago? If he deliberately made the deception to make that impatient guy Zhong Liang jump out?

The news that Prime Minister Zhao Qingya was about to die his mother swept across the entire officialdom like a whirlwind. At the same time, the conflict between Yue Qianqiu and Zhong Liang was spread.

Anyone who hates Old Master Yue, when he thinks that he is about to become the prime minister, would naturally be in an uproar. After Pei Xu returned home early, he summoned his followers to discuss the matter. Zhong Liang also visited people everywhere without stopping. For a moment, the chaos in Jinling City was in chaos.

However, Old Master Yue still returned home on time as usual. After getting off the sedan chair, he found that the gatekeepers were all happy, but no one came up to shout congratulations or something, and he couldn't help but nod. But after walking a few steps into the door, he saw the second master and the third master come out together, and both of them were overjoyed, and he immediately stopped.

"Dad!" He shouted first. Master Yue San was about to say congratulations, but when he saw the old man's deep pupils, he couldn't help swallowing the two words he said, and even the smile on his face froze.

Master Yue Er was not much better either. He swallowed hard, and then he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I worked hard every day, and I didn't see you understand me every day."

Old Master Yue sarcastically said with a stern face. Seeing his two sons silent, he couldn't help but sigh that the two in the middle were really not well raised, but he still didn't say it out. He hooked his hand and instructed them to follow. When he entered the second door, he said lightly: "Remember, even if I really become the prime minister, it's not worth being happy."

The two brothers who followed the old father's footsteps looked at each other and were all stunned. They exchanged glances with each other, and Master Yue Er said first: "Don't worry, Dad, we understand, we will never cause trouble for you."

"This is not a question of whether to be foolish or not, but what is going to be tough and big battles to fight, and I don't have time to do this."

Old Master Yue stopped, turned his head, and swept his sharp eyes to his two sons' faces, then said word by word: "Your elder brother and fourth brother are all trying their best to do what they think they should do. You two are in a blessing and cannot do anything else, so don't cause trouble. Be honest these days and avoid going out."

The old father suddenly mentioned his fourth brother who had been away from home for more than ten years, and his words showed that he seemed to know the situation of a person. Thinking of the Nouo that Yue Qianqiu had picked up, Master Yue San suddenly felt a sudden jump. Although he wanted to ask clearly, he did not dare to take risks, so he could only find another way to start with Yue Qianqiu.

He barely smiled: "Dad said this to Qianqiu. If you want to cause trouble, no one in the family can be more powerful than him."
