"By the master, they did come together." The old butler nodded with affirmation.

Shi Songzhi frowned!

"Why did you invite someone in directly? Why didn't you report it to me earlier?"

"Master, I came to report to the master after receiving the report, but those two came in by themselves. The servants in the mansion did not dare to stop them." The old butler was also a little helpless.

The servants of the Shi Mansion are probably better than ordinary minor officials. However, with the identities of Duke Shen, Zheng Qingzhi and Duke Lu, Qiao Xingjian, they are going to come in, so how dare those servants stop them from entering?

"It seems that these two old men are not good at coming." Shi Songzhi sneered.

"Master..." The old housekeeper was a little worried.

"It's okay, they were able to get together. It seems that they came for the left Prime Minister who has not yet been decided. Haha, I want to see who can let these two old men who are incompatible with each other. As long as I don't nod, I think the emperor will not respond to them. This is because they have something to ask me and there is nothing to worry about. Let's go over, so as not to be honest."

Shi Songzhi naturally knew what the old man in Shi's house was worried about and comforted him.

The old butler's face relaxed a little, and he didn't continue talking. He followed Shi Songzhi toward the Lobby of Shi Mansion. He naturally couldn't see Shi Songzhi who turned around. The expression on his face was no longer as relaxed as he had just spoken, but was extremely solemn.

Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian went from Duanping to Luoyang. Qiao Xingjian joined forces with the Neo-Confucianism faction to force Zheng Qingzhi to resign from the left prime minister. However, Qiao Xingjian took the position of the left prime minister. Although the two men did not break up and live to the death, they basically entered a state of never interacting with each other.

The scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty were still very limited and honest, but there were few ideas that in the political situation of the later dynasties, they would stab me and kill your whole family, or even kill them.

If Qiao Xingjian hadn't deliberately set up a trap and had Zheng Qing insulted, he probably might have been friends. This is a very strange phenomenon in the Song Dynasty, which had many redundant officials.

Because he was designed by Qiao Xingjian, Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian have basically cut off contact. It is a miracle to be able to walk together. But today, they have visited the Shi Mansion together for the first time, which shows that the two of them have visited this time.

Qiao Xingjian has always been thinking about overthrowing the Shi family, and has not been at the gate of the Shi Mansion for many years.

Now there are many major events in Lin'an City, and the first thing that comes to the forefront is of course the issue of the Mongolians' peacekeeping revoking the two capitals of Bianliang and Kaifeng and the candidates for the Left Prime Minister.

Originally, the wars in various places were the most important, but now they are no longer a problem. After all, Xiangyang Gu Wenbuhua has retreated. Although the Mongolian army in Sichuan and Huaidong has not yet retreated, it has also stopped its offensive and has been preparing to withdraw its troops.

Therefore, Shi Songzhi expected that the two of them would come together today, and it would be one of these two things that could even be said to be for these two things.

No matter which of these two things is, they are not so easy to solve. But now, Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian, the two people who should not join forces, have actually come together. There is only one possibility, that is, the two have reached a consensus on at least one of the things.

In Shi Songzhi's view, the most likely thing the two of them could reach an agreement was the position of Left Prime Minister who was vacant again because of Yu Tianxi's sudden death.

In the peace talks with the Mongolians, Zhao Yun was the one who made the final decision. What should we talk about and what can we talk about in peace talks, and we have already made it clear that the only thing the Song Dynasty needed to consider was what kind of chips to be paid to exchange for Bianliang and Kaifeng.

The Mongolians wanted a lot of bargaining chips, and now they are waiting for Zhao Yun to set a limit that the Song Dynasty can accept. As long as Zhao Yun settles, the rest is waiting for the specific time for the peace talks.

...

Lei Ranju, Shi Mansion Lobby. When Shi Songzhi hurried in, Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian were having fun drinking tea. When they saw two old people smiling outside the door, Shi Songzhi cursed in his heart, two old men.

"Haha, what's the trend today? It's rare for two dukes to come to visit, but today they come together. It really makes the Shifu shine brightly, and the shine brightly!"

The voice of Shi Song's man had not arrived yet. However, the sarcasm in this word was obvious.

However, Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian, either Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian, have gone through countless storms, how could it really change his face because of Shi Songzhi's small sarcasm? Not to mention, with Shi Songzhi's conceited nature, he can't wait to speak out before he meets him, which can only explain one problem, that is, the two of them come together in a rare manner, and Shi Songzhi has already felt the pressure.

This is a good thing! Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian come uninvited and enter without any invitation. Isn’t this the effect what you want?

Therefore, when he heard Shi Songzhi's words, Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian couldn't help but smile at each other, slowly put down the fragrant tea in their hands, and stood up at the same time.

"Haha, Ziyou's words are quite resentful." Zheng Qingzhi said first, "Didn't we two old guys think that the official business was too busy in the past and there was no chance to visit him? Now I and Shou Peng are both idle and stay at home, so I'm going to make an appointment to visit Ziyou together. I will definitely punish myself three times later. How about letting Ziyou relieve me?"

"Extremely wonderful!" Qiao Xingjian, who was standing beside Zheng Qingzhi, praised, "Brother Deyuan said that he was just like me. I can have a few drinks with Ziyou. I have been waiting for a long time!"

Shi Songzhi looked at the two people singing and talking, and his face couldn't help but twitch gently.

Two old men!

"Haha, okay, then today we must let Duke Deyuan and Duke Shou Peng return without getting drunk! Please!" Shi Song's expression replied naturally in an instant, and he smiled brightly.

"please!"

"please!"

The three of them walked into the lobby with their hands laughing.

Those who don’t know the inside story will definitely think that the three of them are either gay or close friends when they see them so intimate. However, the real situation can only be understood by the three of them.

The old butler looked at the three people walking into the lobby with their hands and laughed, but the worry in his heart was even more unreasonable.
