“Get out! Get out! Get out of here! Leave me alone!” Mu Nanzhi cried.
“Okay, I will go now.” Jixiang withdrew, worried.
It was the nineteenth year of Jiasheng and an event took place on the eight day of the second lunar month of that year.
Emperor made an order, in which Zhao Jingthing was improved to Kulun General and would take charge of all businesses in Kulun. It seemed that he was improved to a higher rank. But Kulun was severely cold all year round and sparsely-populated. And it was a famous barren land of Dali. Besides, it was far from the capital city. And as the order had been issued, Zhao Jingting could actually be regarded as being banished to the northeast border. It would be hard for him to go back to the capital city again.
After the imperial court, Prime Minister Duan Zeng and Prime Minister Wei Junchen walked out of the palace together, which was really hard to see.
Wei Junchen smiled, shining with happiness. “I heard that Marquess Ning went to meet General Zhao in secret several days ago. At first, I thought that Marquess would make some great achievements after keeping silent for such a long time. To my surprise, General Zhao will be sent to northwest. It’s really a great pity. I’m afraid that Marquess Ning would be crying at home now.
Duan Zeng just smiled, replying, “You know clearly that Marquess Ning failed early. But the fourth prince is pretty favoured by emperor now. I heard that empress is considering about finding another girl to be the fourth prince’s wife. Who can be so lucky to get the chance?””
Wei Junchen got stiff as he heard the words. But he burst into laughter soon, saying, “It’s really a good chance for a girl to marry into the royal family. But she would be more lucky if she could live longer. Do you think so, Prime Minister Duan?”
Wei Junchen got no response but fists from Duan Zeng. Prime Minister Wei was fat and heavy. He directly fell down on the ground when he was hit by Duan Zeng for three times. He had never been so disgraceful before. He soon rolled and hit Duan Zeng back. All officers who just got out of the hall was stunned when they saw what was happening. Both of the prime ministers were more than sixty years old and they were fighting with each other destructively on the ground. As they realized the fact, they quickly went to take them apart.
It was impossible to hide the news that the two prime ministers fought with each other in public and then even did that before Taihe Palace. Emperor got to know the news soon. Presently both Wei Junchen and Duan Zeng was called to meet emperor in his study, though they were still too embarrassed at that time.
Emperor scolded at them for a short while and then told several servants to send them back. Afterwards, he told someone to present some tonics to them. Duan Zeng and Wei Junchen didn’t get along well with each other long before and they often fiercely fought with each other in court. Actually, emperor was happy to see it and even supported it secretly. No emperor was truly willing to see his people get along well with each other, not to mention the prime ministers.
Few years ago, emperor made an order to marry the eldest granddaughter of Duan Zeng to Lu Zhishan, who was supposed to be the crown prince, which made Prime Minister Duan feel pleased. To everyone’s surprise, Lu Zhishan lost the war and his leg was injured too. So it was impossible for him to be crown prince later. In addition, Princess Duan passed away at a young age and that chocked Prime Minister Duan a lot. At the same time, Prime Minister Wei Junchen was sent to make an agreement with Tubo and Siam. Emperor trusted him so much and made him take charge of many important things. Wei Junchen soon became on a roll because of that. If his eldest daughter grasped the chance to become the fourth prince’s wife instead of concubine, he would be much more pleased and powerful.
Marquess Ning’s Mansion.
Song Fu had already realized that his master seemed to be unhappy these days. Though he still buried himself in reading and practicing calligraphy in study, he turned to be more quiet. And Song Fu knew that he must be upset.
