My prime minister has the final say

After the matter was settled, and because Feng Qing always advocated frugality during his lifetime, the funeral ceremony after the matter was not extravagant. The coffin was sent to the imperial mausoleum. Although it was over at this time, the subjects of Xilong had a one-year mourning for it, while the royal family members had a three-year mourning...

After all these were determined, the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared the dragon robe of the new emperor, and Qin Tianjian chose the suitable day for enthronement. The enthronement ceremony was only in accordance with the etiquette, and there was no half-way overstepping .

Above the golden hall, Feng Yushu sat on the emperor's seat, looking at the civil and military officials above the golden hall.

All the ministers knelt down, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Everyone is in peace!" Although Feng Yushu was young, he knew all of these things, and there was no negligence.

In addition, Eunuch Sun was there to give pointers, and all the etiquette would not be wrong. As for matters above the government, Rong Ze was there to guide him.

At this time, Zhao Quan stepped forward, bowed to meet the ceremony, and then said: "My lord, the previous emperor passed away, and the new emperor succeeded. On the other side of Xuan Kingdom, our noble daughter from Xilong, and now Dongxuan's Concubine Shun, the biological mother of the eldest son of the Emperor of Dongxuan Kingdom, the two parties..."

Rong Ze didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "Since you have already married into Dongxuan Kingdom, if the leader of Dongxuan Kingdom expresses this in person, then it's okay, if it's just this person who has already married into Dongxuan Kingdom as a concubine If you put forward such thoughts rashly, you should avoid it! The diplomatic relations between the two countries need to be very cautious. If there is a slight deviation, I am afraid that the original establishment will fall short.”

Zhao Quan said in a condensed voice: "The regent's words are a bit biased. After all, these things are no problem for us. We just need to deal with them well, that's all. Is it also maintained because of this?"

Rong Ze said coldly, "Whether it is to maintain the diplomatic relations between the two countries or to maintain the relationship between the Xilong family and his Dongxuan royal family, the prime minister should understand very well!"

Zhao Quan was at a loss for words immediately, "You, the regent really did a great job, think about it, it's impossible for someone else to be like the regent, right? The emperor is sitting on top of this, shouldn't the regent let the emperor make decisions? Is there any connection between them?"

Feng Yushu said directly: "What the emperor said is very true. The diplomatic relationship between the two countries is stable. If they communicate rashly, it will only spoil things."

When Feng Yang saw this, he naturally agreed. Above the court, there was no way to maintain these for a while, and Zhao Quan could only swallow it.

All of a sudden, the court dispersed, and Zhao Quan saw that Feng Yang stayed, which showed that it was Rong Ze's intention, but he could only shake his sleeves and leave.

The people who followed Zhao Quan said in a concentrated voice: "My lord, the regent has only just taken this position. Everything is not stable. Besides, my lord, your foundation in Xilong, how could it be that he is a newcomer?" Humans can compare it!"

"Incomparable? He has become the regent now!" Zhao Quan frowned, "Who is he, don't you know? Also, that Feng Yang got a million military salary from somewhere, and now The soldiers in his hands don't really need the support of the Xilong family, if things go on like this, I'm afraid I will have no place to stand in this court."

Everyone didn't know what to say, as if the whole thing had quieted down here, and when these things were intertwined together, those things really seemed to be changing.

A person following Zhao Quan continued to say: "My lord, what is the origin of this Regent? How can he suddenly allow General Feng to get that one million military salary? What kind of power is behind him?"

"It's good now, all of you have come to ask me." Zhao Quan said coldly, "Didn't you underestimate this Rong Ze back then? You didn't think he could achieve anything, but it was just a bad guy brought back by the late emperor A humble person, but now, he is uniting with Feng Yang, secretly deploying party members, and stabilizing the power. In the current state, it is completely impossible to shake this foundation, and his position as the regent is firmly established. .”

"Then, my lord, what should we do now?" Everyone was anxious. After all, they were all following behind Zhao Quan. If the situation in Xilong really changed, it would be equivalent to killing them all. Kick out.

Zhao Quan frowned, "Do you think this official will really sit and wait? Since they explicitly forbid us from communicating with Dongxuan Kingdom, do you think that this official can't communicate secretly? Now he is the one who is strong, In the future, I still don't believe that there is no way to punish him, and his delusion to weaken the rights of this Xilong family is simply a dream."

Everyone echoed Zhao Quan's words, they represented the rights of the clan, if their rights were weakened, then what would they be worth in this Xilong country.

……

Inside the imperial study.

Feng Yang looked at Rong Ze and said directly: "The regent wants to gradually weaken the rights of the Xilong family, so as to suppress the situation on the side of the prime minister. I'm afraid it will be a bit embarrassing. If it can't be solved properly, I'm afraid it will still be a problem in the future." There will be a lot of trouble."

How could Rong Ze not know this, "These things are already going on now, so they can't be stopped. Xilong's rights have always been controlled by the aristocratic clan, and there are still many existences that cannot be controlled independently." Yes, sitting on the throne, the emperor wants absolute power, not being subject to courtiers, so the situation that Xilong has been dominated by the family for so many years needs to be changed."

"What the regent said is true. It's just that the power of this family is too great. If you want to solve it thoroughly, you should make sure of these. Judging by Zhao Quan's words, it should be that he wants to unite with Dongxuan Kingdom..."

Rong Ze smiled softly, "If Zhao Quan really wants to do this, it may not be a way. If he communicates secretly, then this king will also communicate secretly."

Feng Yang couldn't believe it, "Does the Regent know someone in Dongxuan Kingdom?"

"It doesn't matter whether you recognize it or not. What's important is that some things will always be pushed forward by following the trend. It's just that it's not the time yet, but it's enough to catch this line. It won't take two or three years. , that’s about the same.”

"Two or three years?"

"Two or three years, does the general think it's a long time?"

"No, how could it be so long? At that time, the emperor was only ten years old!" Feng Yang looked at the person reviewing the memorial and said with a smile.

At this time, Feng Yushu paused the movements of his hands, and then said: "Uncle Huang, who is Uncle Huang going to associate with in Dongxuan Kingdom?"

"I'm not sure yet, but as far as I know, the current Emperor Dongxuan is old and has reached his twilight years, and the Qi family in Dongxuan Kingdom has a big family and a great career, and they are the prime ministers of the current dynasty." There are no two candidates, especially the new head of their Qi family, Qi Yang, who is a leader of all kinds. This old emperor loves his son in his later years, the youngest son, and the son of the empress of Dongxuan Kingdom. Qi Yang has a very close relationship with him, presumably after this, when the son succeeds to the throne, it is natural that this Qi Yang will assist the new emperor as an assistant minister."

Feng Yang couldn't believe it, it was obvious that Rong Ze stayed in Xijing City like him, why did he know so many things, not to the extent that ordinary people can know?

Feng Yushu was also a little surprised by this, as if everything in it was under the control of the emperor's uncle, without the slightest deviation.

Rong Ze went on to say: "And in this matter, there are many things that cannot be controlled at will. The situation in Dongxuan Kingdom is different from ours. Their emperor has more than one son, and more than one son. The mothers and concubines of these sons are all powerful families. Even if they obey the concubines and allow the queen's son to succeed, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble later. Of course, the queen's mother's family is their Dongxuan. The younger sister of the great general of the country, this level of power, if it is supported by the Qi family, it will naturally be no problem, but after ascending the throne, it is inevitable that there will still be troubles. Of course, there is no doubt that those are all It came from their prince."

Feng Yang seemed to hear something, "The matter Zhao Quan said in the court today, in terms of the current situation in Dongxuan Kingdom, the son of Concubine Shun is the eldest son. In other words, it is the most favorable competitor, the reason why the prime minister wants to involve Concubine Shun with the Xilong family is because he has reservations about this aspect?"

"Zhao Quan's thinking is simplicity. The more this is the case, the more the old emperor will exclude the eldest son of the emperor."

Feng Yushu was surprised, "Why did the emperor say that? Didn't it mean that if the power behind it is strong, then the position will be stronger?"

"Of course, but those forces are within the scope of their trustworthiness. The stronger they are, the stronger they are. But they are not, because this involves diplomatic relations with another country, and this matter is not Easy."

Feng Yang instantly understood, "What the Regent means is that the old emperor of Dongxuan Kingdom originally thought that this was not a serious problem, but when someone from Xilong Kingdom intervenes, he will become jealous instead. At that time, even if we don't go there much Who cares, can you make these go in another direction? The regent is really thoughtful, I'm afraid Zhao Quan just doesn't think so much now, what he wants is nothing more than how to make his power more stable !"

Rong Ze took advantage of the situation and reasoned down, "This is just one layer. Although there are already twists and turns in the succession of the Dongxuan Kingdom's throne in the future, it is still impossible for this twists and turns to create anything, because the new emperor ascends the throne. , can completely be deposed and re-established, isn't it?"

"So when the time comes, the eldest son of the emperor will take the initiative to communicate with Zhao Quan, hoping to use the power of Xilong's family to support his actions in Dongxuan Kingdom? Then..."

"The emperor wants to say that the person named Qi Yang will definitely keep a hand. I am afraid that when the emperor understands the situation of Dongxuan Kingdom, according to the plan of such a smart person, he will definitely consider the situation in Xilong. When the time is right, when the time is right, we will naturally reach an agreement as the emperor wishes, and then the two sides will work together to solve the problem."

"Exactly!" Rong Ze looked at Feng Yu's book, showing a faint smile.

Feng Yushu stared at the person in front of him, as if it was rare to see the emperor's uncle smiling, even if he did, it was not enough to smile lightly like this once in a while.

Feng Yang was slightly worried, "Is this really feasible? Although the Xilong family will be suppressed, if there is a mistake, it may cause a different situation. If this happens, Dongxuan Kingdom... "

"Don't worry, everything is still undecided. These are just my king's reasoning. This is all a process calculated according to the current situation. Of course, there may be deviations, but according to these practices of Zhao Quan, and As far as Dongxuan Kingdom's handling is concerned, logically speaking, the calculation will not go wrong." Rong Ze said in a concentrated voice.

At this moment, in the imperial study room, the moment the words came to an end, it fell into silence.

As if, all the voices have been completely determined because of this.
