At the beginning, the empress will be the queen and eat soft rice to open the blind box

The eunuch who passed the edict outside the gate of the palace walked up to the golden palace with the five-flag messenger.

The courier, whose body was covered in dust and could no longer be seen, fell to his knees,
"Your Majesty, Jiang Long'an, General of Youzhou, was ordered by General Han Li to report back with a hundred thousand urgent military matters."

Xiao Yuyi's expression was very calm, "Submit it!"

She must be calm. If the ruler of an empire is in chaos first, then the subjects below will feel that they have no backbone and become extremely chaotic.

Jiang Long'an took out the seal-sealed memorial from his arms and handed it over.

Xie Tang came down, took the memorial, turned around and presented it to Xiao Yuyi.

Needle dropping could be heard on the golden palace, and the ministers even breathed softly, fearing to disturb the empress.

Xiao Jieyi read the memorial slowly, without missing a single word.

The expression on her face remained unchanged, "Let's retreat first, I have something to deal with."

She paused, "Old Marshal Han, Xiao Zuoxiang, and Mo Ge stayed behind."

Mo Yuan had already taken over the old position left by Xie An, but he is now a staunch supporter of the Empress.

The three of them trembled in their hearts, and they answered yes in unison.

The empress stood up, turned around and went to the royal study.

The three important ministers followed behind and entered the imperial study together.

They can probably guess that this is a major incident on the border of Xiliang.

Xiao Yuyi sat down and handed Han Li's urgent report to Han Renjie.
"Old Marshal, take a look first!"

Xiao Sanjue's heart sank. In the past, empresses would always pass the memorial to him first when they had any important events. Why do they show old man Han first this time?
He thought about it again, maybe because this is a military matter, he should first seek the opinion of the general!

Mo Yuan had the least qualifications, and he was the last one, so he didn't have the mood of worrying about gains and losses. He just waited aside. The other two had seen it, and they wanted to show it to themselves.

Han Renjie looked at the memorial, his face gradually became gloomy, "Your Majesty, this..."

Xiao Yuyi raised his hand to stop his following words,
"Old Marshal, please be safe and don't be impatient, wait until Prime Minister Zuo has finished reading."

An ominous premonition rose in Xiao Sanjue's heart. From Han Renjie's angry eyes, he analyzed that this memorial was related to himself or the Xiao family.

The old man took the memorial from Han Renjie and read it slowly.

His face became more and more ugly, and finally fell to his knees with a puff, and tremblingly took off the official hat on his head,

"Your Majesty, the old minister is terrified, the old minister is guilty..."

Mo Yuan was very curious about what was written in this memorial, which would make Han Renjie furious after reading it, and make the treacherous and cunning Xiao Sanjue kneel down to plead guilty.

He picked up the memorial that Xiao Sanjue put beside him, and slowly read it.

The new cabinet boss's eyes were so wide open that he couldn't even close his mouth in the end.

There are only two core contents of this memorial. First, the Xiao family, Xiao Jifeng, defected to the enemy and treasoned, leading an army of 10,000+ from Xiliang to invade Youzhou.

Second, Han Li, the guard of Youzhou, a master of Emperor Wu, was defeated by Xiao Jifeng with a single move and was seriously injured.

Han Li said in the memorial that thanks to the recent heavy snowfall in Youzhou, it was not lost.

Mo Yuan gasped, no wonder Xiao Sanjue knelt down and pleaded guilty, it seemed that his charge of lax discipline could not be cleared away.

The old marshal Han Renjie had a fiery temper when he was young, but in recent years he has grown older and restrained a little.

But this time, his most promising youngest son was almost beaten to death by Xiao Jifeng, and the old marshal was really angry.

Xiao Sanjue, if your son beats my son, then I will bully you.

Xiao Sanjue knelt on the ground, feeling cold in his heart.

The disaster caused by Xiao Jifeng this time was too great for the Xiao family to bear.

He raised his head and looked at his once favorite granddaughter with a begging look.

He only hoped that the Xiao family would not be involved in this matter. As for himself, it was already impossible for him to hold power in the court no matter what.

His son conspired to rebel and treason, how can Lao Tzu still sit in the position of one person under one man and above ten thousand people in the empire?
It's impossible to think about it!
The current Xiao Sanjue is only looking forward to this matter, not to bring disaster to the Xiao family.

At this moment, he hated Xiao Jifeng extremely.

All these years, I have only focused on fighting for power and profit, and have not educated my children and grandchildren well.

In the past, Xiao Shengyi plotted to assassinate Yue Zhi, but now Xiao Jifeng is even more ruthless, directly defecting to the enemy and leading an army to invade Dayue.

Xiao Sanjue shuddered a little, if this matter was not handled properly, the Xiao family would be a disaster for the whole family.

He only hoped that Xiao Yuyi would see a ray of incense, and spare the Xiao family this time.

Xiao Yuyi's mood is extremely complicated, one side is the empire, and the other side is the Xiao family that gave birth to him.

Although she hated him so much in the past and gave Yue Zhi's grandfather Xiao Sanjue as a gift, but since Yue Zhi became better, she no longer hates him.

There is even some thanks to grandpa.

But this time it involves treason, should I spare the Xiao family?

Looking at Xiao Sanjue who seemed to be decades older for a moment, Xiao Yuyi's heart softened.
"Forget it, since Prime Minister Xiao is unwell and is indeed no longer fit to take on important positions in the cabinet, I promise you that Xiao Sanjue will resign from office and return to his hometown immediately, so that he can take care of himself for the rest of his life!"

Xiao Sanjue was overjoyed, kowtowed tremblingly,

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity, old minister."

Han Renjie looked at him angrily, but did not speak.

The empress accepted Xiao Sanjue's resignation, which meant that the Xiao family would not be held accountable until this point.

The physical discomfort in her words also saved enough face for Xiao Sanjue, and she didn't mention the matter of treason.

Xiao Sanjue kowtowed again, stood up with great effort, put the official hat on the table respectfully, lowered his head and bowed back, and slowly exited the imperial study.

Several people in the room didn't speak, just looked at Xiao Sanjue's desolate figure with white hair all over his head.

Han Renjie suddenly stopped hating him. This old guy was indeed troubled by his son this time.

Seeing his lonely leaving figure, both Mo Yuan and Han Renjie felt sad.

The prime minister, Xiao Sanjue, who has been in the court of Dayue for decades and has been stirring up wind and rain for decades, has finally withdrawn from the stage of history.

When Yue Zhi returned to Qianqing Palace at night, Xiao Jieyi was still depressed.

After walking around the street with Xiao Moyi for a day, thinking that his wife was jealous, Yue Zhi accompanied him carefully, and tried hard to think of a few old-fashioned jokes, trying to make Bo Xiao Yuyi smile.

Xiao Yuyi was indeed amused by him in the end.

It's not because the jokes are funny, but because watching him tell old-fashioned jokes with trepidation and fear of offending himself made me laugh.

My husband has undergone earth-shaking changes since he suffered a serious illness last spring, and I am already very happy, so I shouldn't force anything!
"Honey, are you not angry?"

Seeing Yue Zhi's cautious look, Xiao Yuyi rolled his eyes,

"I'm worried about government affairs, it has nothing to do with you!"

Scared the baby to death, it's not because of me, you said it earlier, almost scared my diabetes!
