Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Huaiyi had the upper hand in this verbal battle.

Not only were the opponents of the bank run helpless, even some neutral parties were convinced by him and could not help but stand up and agree with him.

After all, the matter of the crown prince entering the court to observe government affairs was indeed not a big deal, but it was a big deal. To put it in a big way, it affected the interests of other princes and would cause their dissatisfaction. As for those who murmured that it would affect the court affairs and the country, they were completely worrying and exaggerated.

As Xu Huaiyi said, the key to observing politics is the word "observe". As long as the prince is not stupid, he will not make comments or excessively interfere in political affairs in front of the emperor and cabinet ministers. It is wise to observe more and talk less.

Therefore, there is really no need to go to great lengths to stop the Crown Prince from observing government affairs. Those who try to stop him are motivated by selfish motives and have nothing to do with state affairs.

As for putting it in a smaller context, it is just a matter of the emperor's word. As long as the emperor is willing, who would object?

It is natural for a father to teach his son and for an emperor to teach his prince.

The reason why there was such a heated argument just now was because Emperor Yongping's attitude was difficult to understand.

This is the reason for the fight.

How could Xu Huaiyi not know? He sneered in his heart, but his face showed no dissatisfaction with Emperor Yongping. His anger was directed at those opposition figures, and he bombarded them without mercy. When some people were still jumping and kneeling to ask the emperor to be cautious, he could not help but said speechlessly, "What's the big deal? Is it worth making such a big fuss?

Isn't it just to let him enter the court to observe government affairs, not to let the crown prince..."

He deliberately pretended to have said something wrong and then took it back in time. He paused, and when the court officials were terrified, he said without noticing, "It's not like we're asking the prince to do anything dangerous. What is there to be so cautious about?

I really don't understand. If my son Zhuangzhuang is willing to learn from me, wouldn't I welcome him with drums and gongs for his enterprising spirit?

We also have to thank the smoke coming out of our ancestors’ graves; there is hope for family inheritance!

Just because he is the prince, you over-interpret and exaggerate the significance of this matter!

Haha, what are your intentions? "

At the end, he shook his head in bewilderment and said, "I don't understand, I don't understand, but it's really scary when I think about it!"

After hearing what he said, the opposition parties were so angry that they almost vomited blood. Killing people and destroying their hearts was just like this.

Even other people couldn't help but complain in their hearts, you don't understand? No one understands better than you.

Listen to these words. Some of them are criticizing the opposition, but some of them are directed to the emperor. The emperor's attitude is really subtle.

And Xu Huaiyi was really too bold. If he didn't make a sound, he would have made a big splash.

Xu Huaiyi was not arrogant. After he had talked enough, he immediately knelt down and apologized, "Your Majesty, I am simple-minded and reckless. My words and actions were inappropriate. Please forgive me!"

The court officials: "..."

You were just killing everyone and making indirect accusations just now, but now you're giving in?

Marquis Jingning is really adaptable!

On the dragon throne, Emperor Yongping tightly grasped the armrests with his hands in his sleeves, but with a gentle smile on his face, he said in a warm voice, "Lord Xu is a true man, what crime have you committed? Please stand up quickly..."

Xu Huaiyi was not hypocritical. After thanking him, he stood up quickly and asked tentatively, "Is it possible for the prince to come to the court to observe government affairs?"

Emperor Yongping looked down at him and raised his thin lips, "Very good!"

Not only is it possible, it’s also great.

Xu Huaiyi didn't care how hypocritical or profound these words were, and hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Seeing this, others, either sincerely or just following the trend, also started shouting.

After the court was adjourned, the ministers walked out in groups of three or five, talking to each other in low voices, and from time to time they glanced at Xu Huaiyi covertly with meaningful eyes.

Xu Huaiyi pretended not to know.

After leaving the hall, Prime Minister Sun had someone call him and went to the cabinet's public housing.

In the public housing, an old man and a young man sat opposite each other, one with a serious expression, the other relaxed.

Xu Huaiyi personally served the hot tea, "Master, have a sip of tea and take a break first..."

Prime Minister Sun joked, "I didn't say much at the court this morning, but you were the one who argued with the scholars and won the hearts of all. You should drink a few more cups to moisten your throat."

Xu Huaiyi chuckled a few times, "I've made a fool of myself for my master."

“You…” Prime Minister Sun shook his head indulgently and sighed, “You were so impressive just now, but you didn’t know how many people you offended at once. Even the emperor would probably have some thoughts in his mind…

This is not your usual style. Didn't you keep your distance from the princes before? Why did you get involved today?

Could it be..."

Xu Huaiyi said frankly, "Grandmaster, what I did just now might be considered as taking sides, but I have a clear conscience. The prince is the heir to the throne, shouldn't I support and assist him?

Besides, it's not a big deal. Isn't it just observing government affairs? Is it necessary to make a big deal out of it?

You must know the selfish motives of those who oppose it. I really hate this kind of fight and I can't ignore it. If everyone keeps silent, this fight will become more and more intense until it is out of control, like the bloodbath five years ago...

Grandmaster, for both public and private reasons, we must not let this tragedy happen again.

Those who harbor dissenting ideas must be suppressed and contained as soon as possible to put an end to their thoughts. In this way, the court and the harem can be stable, and the people can live a good life. "

After listening to this, Prime Minister Sun was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you think highly of the prince?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "The prince is extremely intelligent, has good character, and has the potential to be a wise ruler.

Of course, the final result still needs to be reflected in government affairs, so I support the prince to come to the court to observe government affairs, the sooner the better."

The implication is that if the crown prince does not have the ability to govern the country, he can be replaced in time.

It's better than when Emperor Yongping ascended the throne and had no other choice, right?

In other words, Emperor Yongping was lucky. After he ascended the throne, the cabinet was powerful, Xu Huaiyi pacified the border, the royal family was in decline and no one caused trouble. In addition, the weather was good in recent years and nothing happened, so the government was easy to manage, and it showed a bit of prosperity.

But this prosperous era, just like the accession of Emperor Yongping to the throne, has a bit of a sense of picking up bargains. We can’t just attribute it to Emperor Yongping’s ability, right?

Furthermore, the cabinet knew best how capable Emperor Yongping was in handling state affairs.

Prime Minister Sun naturally knew that Emperor Yongping was becoming more and more cunning and resourceful, but his level of handling government affairs was just so-so. This was a drawback left over from Emperor Jianxing. In the beginning, Emperor Jianxing was wary of all his sons and refused to give up power. It was not until he had no other choice that he forced the Prince of Qi to teach him hand-in-hand, but it was too late.

Fortunately, Emperor Yongping listened to others' advice and had self-knowledge. He let the cabinet handle the government affairs he didn't understand, so there was no chaos.

But this situation will not always be the case.

There is no emperor who does not want to monopolize power and be "manipulated" by his subjects.

Prime Minister Sun was mentally prepared, but he did not expect that the first contest would be between Emperor Yongping and the Crown Prince.

This is truly a tradition passed down from generation to generation.

"Once the arrow is shot, it cannot be retrieved. What are you going to do next?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "I don't think too much about it. It's still the same as before."

Prime Minister Sun reminded, "You have taken this step today, and you will not be able to stop in the future. You can't be like before. There are more than one group of people who have ulterior motives. They may attack you..."

Xu Huaiyi said, "I will fight back if the enemy comes, and I am not a soft persimmon. If you want to take action, you have to consider your own weight."

"Are you not afraid at all?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I have a clear conscience. I have done nothing wrong in the past few years as a clerk. They must accuse me of something they don't even know about!

As for the dirty tricks, poisoning and assassination, haha, I have experience with them, so if you are not afraid of death, just come at me."

Prime Minister Sun was speechless for a moment.

If you think about it carefully, it is true. All the good things Xu Huaiyi has done over the years are beneficial to the country and the people and deserve praise. It is really not easy to find his faults and mistakes.

When other people become officials, they will more or less use their positions to gain some benefits. Who dares to say that his hands are clean and that he has not embezzled a single cent?

But Xu Huaiyi can do it!

Not only did he not take advantage of the court, he also made contributions again and again to benefit the people. He was a truly loyal minister and a capable general. Even if one wanted to accuse him of a false crime, one had to ask the people whether they agreed.

As for poisoning and assassination...

With the lessons learned from the past, who would dare?

Thinking about it this way, I realized that there was nothing I could do to Xu Huaiyi.

After a while, he reminded in a complicated tone, "Better safe than sorry, never be complacent..."

Xu Huaiyi agreed honestly.

His goal was achieved. Although he could not persuade Prime Minister Sun to clearly support the prince, at least he would not hinder him.

That attitude is enough.

After returning home, he couldn't help bragging to Gu Huanxi about how he had turned the tide in the palace with his own strength, leaving the court officials speechless and forcing Emperor Yongping to pinch his nose and agree to the prince's entry into the court to observe government affairs. "You didn't see how ugly those people's faces were at that time, hahahaha, they were just short of revealing their hearts to show their loyalty...

Bah, a bunch of old guys, you look at everyone and don’t know which prince’s lackeys are behind them, why are you pretending!

They are not as good as those fence-sitters. After all, they know how to judge the situation and know that the prince's visit to the court to observe government affairs is unstoppable, so they immediately agreed.

Tsk, the prince will have to accept this favor in the future, and even I have to give them a good face.

But Emperor Yongping must be really angry, smiling but hiding a knife...

Alas, I am not afraid of others tripping me up, but I am afraid that he will plot against Xiaoyu, and we are too far away to do anything about it."

Gu Huanxi said, "He wants to plot against you more, right? He might blame you for everything that happened today, and you are blatantly bullying him. He is not stupid, how can he not hear it?"

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "I want him to hear that I can't fight back even if he plots against me? Compared to him using Ah Li's marriage to annoy me, what's wrong with me stabbing him? He should be in the wrong, how dare he get angry?"

"Can the emperor reason with you?"

"Oh, he's unreasonable, so I won't be polite."

Gu Huanxi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "Don't mess around..."

Xu Huaiyi said, "Don't worry, I can still rebel. I won't kill the king..."

The premise is that Emperor Yongping does not commit suicide.
