My prime minister has the final say

When Xiao Yi left, all the civil and military officials in the court began to disperse, leaving only the six ministers and Qi Yang.

Gu Xiu sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes were full of endless panic, as if he had fully known what would happen next since that moment.

Slowly between his fingers, he propped himself up, stood up slowly, and looked at Qi Yang, "It turns out that the Prime Minister has already concluded this."

Qi Yang said in a cold voice, "Of course, do you think I will be a fool and be swayed by your tricks?"

"So, the fire in the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not..."

"Fire is real fire, and what is burned is also real. How could it be fake? It's just that what you most want to destroy is the red makeup specially made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Unfortunately, some people's little The mind has been exposed for a long time.”

Gu Xiu looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, "So those are all fabricated illusions?"

"Of course, if it wasn't an illusion, how could Xiao Xu's Flying Pigeon Passing Letter be sent to Xijing City!" Qi Yang's cold voice pierced into Gu Xiu's heart like ice, freezing all the blood in his body. of.

At this moment, Gu Xiu held his breath in his throat, and asked in a choked voice, "Then, those from the Ministry of Rites..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, "At that time, when the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came out, Xiao Xu must have felt that it was inevitable, so he asked the Ministry of Rites to intervene, so that nothing would go wrong. , you are a smart person, I thought you would work hard, but unfortunately, you didn't."

Gu Xiu wanted to quibble, but Qi Yang saw through it at a glance, "There is no need to explain it, everyone has his own choice, your choice has created your current situation, it is impossible to change, what do you say!"

"Then what about Xilong Kingdom?"

Qi Yang said with a smile: "Of course it's what he Xiao Xu thought, advocating a coup d'etat in Xilong, and letting those aristocratic families launch an offensive to persecute their young emperor."

"The Prime Minister's use of the House of Internal Affairs to the Ministry of Rites made Xu Wang think that you have shifted all your focus. Before that, the Prime Minister sent someone to Xijing City to reach an agreement with the Regent of Xilong. Let Xu Wang realize the danger, so that Xu Wang can't wait, and this kind of timing will make Xu Wang fall into the mud again?"

"This official made him fall into the mud?" Qi Yang scolded coldly, "It's just a joke, isn't this the result of your wishful thinking? It's in vain that you are still an old minister. When the late emperor was alive, the late emperor had other ideas about the people in the conference. , don’t you understand? You think you have the blessings of the Xilong family, you think Xiao Xu is a capable and shrewd person, and Honghu can bear fruit!”

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is far more shrewd than a lowly official. There is nothing to say about that."

"It's not that you lost at this level, but that you didn't straighten your mind, put thoughts that shouldn't be in those places that shouldn't be put, and gave birth to greedy desires, which is destined to be the result like this .”

Gu Xiu sneered, "That's right, the late emperor would not let a prince with blood from another country become the new emperor, naturally it is impossible for the prime minister."

"It's good to understand, tell the good news to the master you think!" Qi Yang sneered, "From now on, Gu Xiu will be dismissed from all positions in the Minister of Rites, and my official and the emperor will be married soon, so it is not appropriate to see blood, you can You have to make good use of these two rare days of freedom."

Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment. The Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Punishment, and the trusted minister of the Ministry of War stood beside him, looking completely unbelievable, but no one would say a word. After the Prime Minister left, they followed behind, ignored Gu Xiu, and left separately...

Gu Xiu, who was standing there, watched the figures go away. The huge Golden Palace was empty, except for the guards in front of the palace, he was completely reduced to an outcast.

Asahi Palace.

The reason why the capital city is a capital city is that it has a large population and is intricately complex. As long as any news is released, it will spread to all the streets and alleys within the effort of a cup of tea.

And when Xiao Xu heard the news, the cup of tea in his hand fell directly to the ground, and the sound of the teacup shattering to the ground broke the quiet atmosphere instantly.

Shen Si saw the uneasy look on Xu Wang's face, which was always calm, and said softly: "My lord, Mr. Gu has completely disappeared in the court today, I'm afraid he won't be able to come to see the lord either, so that's all." According to the message, the prime minister thinks that tomorrow will be a great day and blood should not be seen, so..."

Xiao Xu gritted his teeth, his usual calmness disappeared completely, "Qi Yang, he concealed this so well, deliberately lured me into the game, set up this trap, and forcefully let me fall in." .”

With Shen Si at the side, he said in a gentle voice, "My lord, this is all secondary. The most important thing is that the situation in Xijing City is already overwhelming, and the arrow is on the string. Even if you want to withdraw now, there is no other way!"

Xiao Xu fell down on the armchair, Shen Si saw this, stepped forward, "My lord, there is no room for maneuver in this matter, you say..."

"Not necessarily, did he, Qi Yang, consider the matter to be dead? Over there in Xijing City, Rong Ze and that little emperor can really turn things around, it's just a dream!"

"But, my lord, there is one more thing!" Shen Si also only received the news today. He did not expect that the person had already left the capital. The person originally thought that he had become a completely abandoned person and would no longer be of value. The prime minister said that it was just a superficial effort, who would have thought that such a step would come out!

"what's up?"

"Today we received information that in the western border of Dongxuan Kingdom, the soldiers and horses stationed there have been completely taken over by Xun Huan."

Xiao Xu was like a thunderbolt in the blue sky, "This... using troops? Could it be that what Xiao Rui got back from Rong Ze when he went to Xijing City was a deployment plan!"

At this moment, Shen Si saw the look of complete despair from his prince.

This matter, up to this point, can only depend on the development of Xilong. It all depends on God's will and can only be resigned to fate.

……

Prince Ying's Mansion.

When Xiao Jing heard the news from Xu Qing, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Qi Yang to be able to do this. He originally thought that the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs involved the Ministry of Rites, but Who would have thought that these were already in Qi Yang's plan.

This is a huge trap, waiting for the prey to fall into it.

Xu Qing said softly, "Your Majesty, in this round, I originally thought that I could rely on the strength of Xilong Kingdom, but there will be some disturbances anyway. Who would have thought that it would come to such a point?"

"Now the situation in the Xilong Kingdom must be turbulent. It depends on how powerful the Xilong clans are. If not, the prince should also make other preparations."

"Prepare? What does the king need to prepare?"

"Since the prime minister can see through all of these, then the prince's methods of fueling the flames from time to time must be seen through. At least, the prince should clean himself up on the surface, which is the best policy."

Xiao Jing also had no choice but to nod in response.

Xu Qing knew that for his lord, this matter was a breakthrough. If there was no follow-up, it would be empty talk, but now that the situation has become like this, it has basically reached the point of empty talk.

……

The Imperial Palace, Ningsheng Palace.

Nanny Zhou stated these things one by one in the Queen Mother's ear, and after she settled down, she said with a smile: "Queen Mother, you said this is ridiculous."

"For the sake of rights, there is naturally nothing to avoid what you want to do. This is the fact, and there is nothing ridiculous."

"However, the Prime Minister is really powerful. If the Prime Minister hadn't thought about everything first, I'm afraid it would be difficult to manage."

Empress Dowager Xun sighed deeply, "So, this is why the Ai family chose to avoid those completely. Now that the choice has been made, there is no need to continue to put your mind on it. Just understand and understand. As for Besides, you don't need to go deeper, and you don't need to continue to inquire about this matter."

"Yes, servant girl understands." Nanny Zhou just has a level of understanding of the trivial matters above the court in the palace. As for the others, of course she will not stretch out her hand without knowing the rules.

Instead, Mother Zhou went on to say: "Queen Mother, tomorrow will be a good day for the emperor and the prime minister. Originally, after those incidents happened in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, I felt that this matter would be delayed, but I never thought about it. It's all right, the servants came in from the outside just now, those people have already started to arrange everything, the whole palace is so festive, the red gauze is everywhere, really..."

"Ten miles of red makeup can't be as good as here!" Empress Dowager Xun took Zhou Nanny's words, "Qi Yang has heart, especially for the emperor. Do you think he won't care about this matter?"

"What the queen mother said is true, it should be true, ten miles of red makeup is nothing." Nanny Zhou responded.

……

Royal study.

Just then, when he came back from the court all the way, Xiao Yi was attracted by those who had started to deploy in the palace. The scarlet color used for the big wedding almost covered the entire palace.

Xiao Xiazi saw the man sitting in front of the dragon case in a daze. He had been serving the emperor since he was a child, and of course he knew why the emperor was in a daze. He was beside him and said softly: "Your majesty, the prime minister really has a heart. It will be a day that the emperor will never forget."

Xiao Yi heard the voice coming from his ears, his deep thoughts were gradually pulled back, and he looked at the person in front of him, "Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Presumably the prime minister is still dealing with those matters. Don't worry, the emperor. The prime minister always puts the emperor in the first place. At any time, as long as the matter is finished, he will come to the emperor first." Xiao Xiazi With a look of knowing everything, he said to the person in front of him.

Just when the voice fell, a figure walked in from outside, and when Xiao Xiazi saw him, he retreated consciously.

Xiao Yi looked at Qi Yang, met Qi Yang's gaze, and said seriously: "I saw it just now, although it hasn't been fully deployed, it's enough to see it!"

"The one for you must be the best in the world. In my opinion, the wedding in a prosperous age belongs only to you and me." Qi Yang said in a concentrated voice.

Xiao Yi was stared at by Qi Yang's scorching eyes, and his cheeks flushed red as the words passed through his ears.

Those layers of lingering, no matter how they are lingering.
