My prime minister has the final say

Prince Ying's Mansion.

Xu Qing hurried in and told Xiao Jing all the latest news.

Hearing this, Xiao Jing frowned, and sighed deeply, "At first, I thought that this play of big brother would have some influence, but now it seems that it has become like this, like a breeze blowing , not even a ripple."

Xu Qing said softly: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is still turmoil in Luocheng, but no one thought that the Prime Minister would send Xun Huan to the west, and then lead the soldiers and horses stationed in the west of the Dongxuan Kingdom directly to In Xijing City, the Prince Regent of Xilong came to cooperate with each other, and the Prince Regent took advantage of the situation to completely change the situation in Xilong, and the court was turned upside down."

"Those storms tossed the whole of Xilong, but what I want to see is that the elder brother can toss something. I really didn't expect it. Who would have expected it? If there is a big fire, all things will be delayed, and his energy will be diverted accordingly, and now it seems that there is no such thing at all, and instead he will continue to plan."

Xu Qing nodded, "What the lord said is true, it is true, the prime minister's ability to plan things, the overall control seems to be in his hands, and it is impossible for anyone to turn the page."

"Listen, Xilong is going to send envoys to Luocheng?" Xiao Jing asked casually.

"Yes, once the envoys from Xilong come to the capital, then on the other side of Xilong, those who colluded with King Xu and the Xilong family will be completely lost. Then this is tantamount to handing over a sharp blade to the prime minister. My lord, and King Xu's side is going to be completely cut off."

Xiao Jing sighed one after another, but he didn't know what state to use to deal with the entanglements.

Seeing the silent person in front of him, Xu Qing said tactfully, "My lord, it is obviously not good for us that things have turned into such a situation now, and what the lord did at that time, my subordinates are a little worried about you, lord." .”

Xiao Jing shook his head, "It's useless to worry now, all we have to wait is to see what will happen to the Xilong envoy after he arrives in the capital, even if Qi Yang wants to make a move, he will start with the elder brother first, if If you can't go any further, this king will naturally choose to take a step back, instead of leaning forward when Qi Yang is showing his sharpness, and being hurt by this sharpness."

Xu Qing approved of the answer given by his lord, and in the end he didn't say much, but just echoed from the side.

……

Prince Yufu.

Ling Bai said to his lord, who hadn't been out of the house for a long time to meddle in other affairs, "you made that choice back then, and now it's very correct, you won't go to confront the emperor and the prime minister anymore, Simply withdraw, and now be an idle prince, so you can live at ease."

When Xiao Yu heard this, he looked at him, "Based on what you're saying now, it seems that something extraordinary happened again!"

"My lord should know some time ago about Prince Rui's trip to the Xijing city in Xilong. Now the court of Xilong has been completely turned upside down. They are all under the control of their regent Prince Rongze, and , this time, Xilong has sent envoys to Beijing."

"So, what do you mean by these words you are going to say now?" Xiao Yu asked directly.

Ling Bai said seriously: "Has the lord forgotten what King Xu is relying on behind him, that is the aristocratic family in Xilong, I am afraid that this time there is such a big situation in Xilong, it is also inseparable from King Xu, but who? It can be imagined that our prime minister has already joined forces with the regent of Xilong, and we are waiting for those people to make a fuss, and then come out and cooperate with each other, and the power of the family in Xilong will be completely sidelined."

When Xiao Yu explained this explanation, his mind was very clear. This was equivalent to completely eradicating his elder brother's backing. "Will Xilong want an envoy to come to Beijing?"

"Yes." Ling Bai replied: "My lord, think about it, will this envoy from Xilong come to Luo City and bring some very exciting things to the court of our Dongxuan Kingdom! "

"Wonderful things?" Xiao Yu smiled at the person in front of him, "What you said is really ironic. Presumably, for these things, my elder brother has planned for an unknown amount of time and calculated an unknown number of things. I don't know how many, but at the most critical moment, something like this happened."

"My lord, you can't say that. For Xu Wang, it is important. It was planned long ago. Even from the House of Internal Affairs in this palace to the Ministry of Rites, it is not considered good. Unfortunately, this Your Excellency the Prime Minister is always one step ahead, trampling to death those paths that King Xu had already walked."

"You think this is interesting? Makes you happy?" Xiao Yu couldn't help asking Ling Bai.

"No, my subordinates just feel that no matter what kind of embarrassing situation the prince was in at that time, after King Ning and General Xun went to the army at that time, he completely separated the relationship and withdrew from which situation. Very wise and correct decision."

Xiao Yu did not deny this, and just laughed it off after all. Then, he picked up the cup of tea on the table in front of him and sipped it carefully. The envoy from Xilong came to Luocheng, It seems that what should be settled is to be thorough.

……

Gu Mansion.

Jiang Yi looked at the people in front of him, and asked puzzledly: "My lord, didn't you dismiss the Minister of Rites at that time? Tomorrow, the envoy from Xilong is going to Beijing. Why do you still want to come now?" Here?"

"Of course there is something to do with Gu Xiu." Qi Yang said in a condensed sentence.

Jiang Yi still didn't quite understand this, "My lord, hasn't this Gu Xiu already become a useless person? Why is it that my subordinates are looking at him now, and my lord seems to think that he still has a great role to play?"

"Why? Don't you think so?" Qi Yang asked this sentence.

Jiang Yi shook his head, "My lord didn't restrict Gu Xiu's actions at that time, but he just imposed restrictions on the surroundings of Gu's mansion, making it an extra hurdle for them to enter and exit, but he didn't really make a decision on how to deal with it, like As if to keep them."

"I still understand, so ah, isn't this here now?"

"Your Excellency chose the eve of the Xilong envoy's visit to Beijing. Could it be that Your Excellency wants Gu Xiu to lie on the court hall with the ones sent by Xilong in front of all the civil and military officials..."

"Since it is clear, let's lead the way!" Qi Yang glanced at Jiang Yi.

So far, Jiang Yi hastily led the way forward, without saying anything, but everyone in the Gu Mansion, when they saw the person coming, suddenly froze, and dared not say anything, I can only wait there.

At this moment, above the main hall.

Everyone in the Gu family, including Gu Xiu himself, was already waiting here. He was originally a respectable veteran, but he made such a fuss, not to hurt his wife, children, and family.

Qi Yangduan sat on the upright seat, looked at Gu Xiu who was kneeling down, "I think I'm here at this time, what do you think?"

Gu Xiu is not a stupid person, although he is trapped in the mansion, there is always a wall of ventilation under the sky, "I heard that the Xilong envoy is coming to Beijing, and it will be tomorrow, it seems that the prime minister has already made plans gone."

"Of course, this should be planned, and it should be handled properly. You say, if I don't take care of all these things, won't I be the one who is counted by you? Is it such a stupid existence?"

"The prime minister has a clever plan, everything is one step ahead of others, and if it is handled properly, it is our miscalculation." Gu Xiu turned and said, "The prime minister is here, and he must let me cooperate with Naxi in the court tomorrow. The information submitted by the envoy Long, let's be a witness!"

"It seems that I didn't become stupid under such strong pressure because of the incident, not bad!" Qi Yang smiled, "The envoy from Xilong this time is their regent, this Dong Xuan The country and the Xilong country both value this very much. They take this opportunity to cultivate the good relations between the two countries. After doing so much, of course, I cannot let Xiao Xu go. The country also hopes to see a result."

"if……"

Qi Yang didn't let Gu Xiu say this at all, and said in a cold voice, "If I hear you say a lie in the court tomorrow, then your wife, children and family members will die. , but there are only a few dozen people, and they can be killed with just a few words, it's very simple!"

Gu Xiu was taken aback, "Could it be that the Prime Minister will let us go if I tell the truth?"

"You, definitely not, but your family, I will naturally consider keeping them alive, but this is up to you to decide. You are a smart person, but it's a pity. Sometimes, you are too calculating. Many, as a result, at the critical moment, it is difficult to get away, don't you envy Yang Chen and Su Yu for doing that, but you can't!" Qi Yang said sarcastically.

Hearing these words, Gu Xiu felt a lot of contemplation in his heart, and in the end he could only keep silent, swallowed those abrupt words, and then responded: "Okay, tomorrow at the court, what the Prime Minister said I will tell you what I want, and I will tell you everything that was presented by Xilong Kingdom, and everything I know, in front of all civil and military officials."

When Qi Yang heard this, he immediately got up and went outside. Gu Xiu knelt on the ground, turned around, looked at the person at the door, and called out, "Master Prime Minister, this matter is over, please let me go this……"

But Qi Yang didn't pay attention, but left directly.

Gu Xiu felt that indifference, and when he turned his head, he looked at the entire Gu family with infinite sadness in his heart, but even if Qi Yang didn't give him an answer, all he could do was to deal with it along the way. up.

In a blink of an eye, on the second day, the Jinluan Hall, above the court hall.

Before the early court, Qi Yang had already ordered people to go to the Xu Palace to invite Xiao Xu to the court. All the court officials were a little puzzled, but when they saw Gu Xiu standing there, many things were self-evident. .

What's even more coincidental is that the envoy from Xilong came to Beijing today, and the court officials were going to meet the saint.

When these three parties gathered in the court hall, everyone could see clearly, and everyone knew what the prime minister was doing.

After all, since the news that Xilong's envoys were coming to Luocheng came in, the Xilong family was completely suppressed in the coup d'état that took place in Xijing City. All the relationships in it are clear and obvious, who doesn't know it!

From the time the person sent him to the palace to go to court, Xiao Xu was standing here, seeing Gu Xiu, and seeing the Xilong envoy who had already entered the court hall, he knew that this matter had come to an end. It's time to end.
