Chapter 16 The Night Owl Enters the House

"Auntie, please let me please that kid.*This..."

Dou Ying knelt beside Empress Dowager Dou, her expression on her face seemed to be as ugly as constipation.

"Hmph, the mouse is short-sighted. Are you blinded too? Or is it that the so-called face covers your eyes? This kid can now control the situation in Chang'an. If Weiyang Palace unites with him, 10,000 Yulin plus his two thousand iron cavalry will destroy the Dou family by plowing the temple and sweeping the caves.

At this time, you still care about flattering him. That boy is a slut, but he doesn't want you to give him any land. Her Majesty has even given Nangong a lot. Can't you bear a few acres of land?"

Dou Ying complained in his heart and said to himself: I would rather give up my daughter, and just send her away as long as he likes her. But he dared not say this clearly, so he could only whisper and keep silent.

"The Dou family is now in great power and has been suspicious of His Majesty. Lao Shi has no intention of learning from Empress Lu, nor has the energy. But Lao Shi is also a member of the Dou family, so he cannot watch the decline of the Dou family. None of you are successful, and have arranged so many official positions for you. But which of you has done something like a human being, and you will know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long.

If you are old, what will happen to the Dou family? Now you are not willing to cut off any land, so what else can you do?"

Dou Ying's attitude made Empress Dowager Dou quite sad. As the most outstanding talent of the Dou family's generation, Dou Ying could not see through the current situation. On the surface, it was like a calm lake. There was already an undercurrent undercurrent under the city of Chang'an. The emperor had already transferred Li Guangcheng back from time to time. If the Dou family had not controlled the imperial guards, they would have taken action now.

"Auntie calms down, Dou Ying will go to the Yun family to deliver the land deed. Dou Ying will not investigate the matter of entrusting Liu Ao to buy the land."

"It's good that you have this attitude. The first priority at the moment is to stabilize that kid. At least not let him become enemies with the Dou family. If the emperor dies and the crown prince succeeds to the throne, you will not be able to escape the title of prime minister."

The Yun family has been very lively recently. The big men in the court shuttled back and forth like a lantern. After seeing off Li Guang, who was eating in a barely manner, the next day Yun Xiao welcomed the new prime minister.

Wei Wan got off the carriage without the joy of being the prime minister and did not greet Yun Xiao and walked straight to Yun Xiao's study. The Yun family was used to walking, and he could even touch Yun Xiao's study with his eyes closed.

"It's too late to be happy to be the prime minister, why do you still have such a bitter face?"

After the maid served tea, Wei Wan drove them all out.

"It's fine if others say that, but why do you say that too. Now being the prime minister seems to be frying in a pan of oil. Today, His Majesty has an order. Tomorrow, there will be a sentence from Changle Palace. I am in a dilemma now and I am almost torn to pieces.

You should quickly think of a solution for me. If this continues, Your Majesty will not be satisfied with me. Changle Palace will definitely not be satisfied with me. It doesn’t matter whether the official is a magistrate or not. It is hard to say whether his life can be saved."

It seems that Wei Wan's plywood is not bad. This is also a matter of no choice. Many things are required to be presented to him. However, the meaning of the two palaces is often opposite. Liu Qi gave the imperial edict, Wei Wan, dare not object. If the empress dowager handed over, he would not dare to object. When he was on the throne of prime minister just now, Wei Wan had thought of this situation, but he never expected that it had developed to such a serious level now.

"Just for this... you are quite a bit too cowardly. You are so big that you think of as a magnificent official as the head of all officials. It's really rare in ancient and modern times."

Yun Xiao drank tea while talking.

"Don't stand and talk without complaining about back pain. It's not you who sits in this seat. Hurry up and help the old brother think of a solution. You will definitely have a solution if you have a bright mind."

Wei Wan's tone was almost begging, and Yun Xiao felt a little helpless when he looked at the old comrade-in-arms expression.

"Prime Minister, you are the leader of all officials. I have to teach you this matter. You are really getting back to the next level. You will give your majesty the will of your majesty to the yamen. The meaning of Changle Palace is that if you involve any yamen, you will ask that person to find the yamen. If the subordinates come to you, you will just do it according to the regulations of the court.

It’s not a problem, and it doesn’t matter. This is your attitude towards being the prime minister. If you do this, you can survive this period without any danger. As for the future, you, the prime minister, don’t seem to be long. Let the future people worry about the future.”

Yun Xiao took a sip of tea, and this is the philosophy of the officialdom of the Celestial Dynasty. For this reason, he invented a special term called Tai Chi Push Hand, also known as the Ball. It is the supreme skill of mingling in the officialdom. Those who have achieved success in cultivation are official words and clichés. Open your mouth and say rules, and shut up and say instructions. Anyway, if you make a mistake, you don’t say a word, and don’t express any mistakes.

Seeing that the old man who had been in the officialdom for decades had not yet reached the entry level, Yun Xiao felt regretful for the lack of official culture in the Han Dynasty.

Wei Wan's eyes lit up, yes. There are still such yamen under the Prime Minister, why do you have to take things by yourself? I can't make you live a hard life. This old guy naturally has the courage to take the blame together. In order to reduce his burden, the Prime Minister decided to pull more people into the water.

After Yun Xiao's guidance, the Prime Minister almost realized the supreme skills of wandering in the officialdom every day. All the sorrows and mists when he came disappeared, and his face was so happy that he could not see his teeth.

“High, high, really high.”

The Prime Minister gave Yun Xiao a six-character proverb, which sounded familiar to him.

After eating and drinking at the Yun family, the Prime Minister left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he packed a large box of Yun family grapes, saying that he would go home to respect his mother. Respecting his mother requires support, but Yun Xiao still asked in confusion: "Ling Gaotang passed away ten years ago, why..."

"A loving mother will always live in her true heart."

Oh, so shameless really made Yun Xiao feel like he was rising up to the mountains immediately.

Wei Wan left and Dou Ying came. Compared with the regular guest Wei Wan, Dou Ying was a rare guest. This rare guest usually comes to the house with a night owl.

"Marquis Lintong, I just said it when I fell in love with my husband's land. Why do you want to trouble Lord Zong Zhengqing? I will bring the land deed today. Today we will officially deliver it. Where is Nangong? I don't know if my cousin comes to greet me. This girl is getting less and less polite. Marquis Yun, you must discipline me well."

Dou Ying brought out an elder style, which made Yun Xiao confused. He didn't know what the night owl was trying to do. However, it didn't look like he was asking for advice, because there were several servants behind him and he didn't even wear weapons.

"Uh... Wei Qihou asked Yun Xiao to prepare some water and wine in it, and asked Wei Qihou to appreciate his face."

Yun Xiao helplessly led Dou Ying into it, not taking Dou Ying's words. Because he had not yet thought about how to deal with the situation in front of him, he also ordered Huan Niang to call Nangong. After all, Dou Ying picked up the niece's tribute as soon as he entered the door. As a niece's cousin, he was indeed a bit rude.

"I have heard that Lintong is rich, but today I see it, it is indeed worthy of its reputation. Compared with my Nanshan Mountain, I really have to study hard with Lintong Hou in this economic path. Hahaha."

In the gorgeous restaurant, Dou Ying tapped the glass curiously and gently. Looking at Lintong outside the window, she couldn't help but say with emotion.

"Just just a small path, Wei Qihou has a vast travel. All the mountains and five mountains have friends. This is what Yun Xiao should learn."

I praise each other for this set of Yun Xiao, who is already very skillful in playing with it. I will give you a face. I will give you a piece of meat if I blow it.

"I also want to thank Hou Yun for giving the business of soy sauce and yellow mayonnaise to our Dou family. How can I be so embarrassed about such a heavy gift? This is the land deed of 100 acres of fertile land in Nanshan. Please ask Hou Lintong to collect it, Hou Yun can send someone to deliver it at any time."

Dou Ying said as he took out a roll of bamboo slips from the lacquerware box held by the servant. He handed it to Yun Xiao very solemnly, making Yun Xiao a little at a loss, wondering whether to answer or not.
