My prime minister has the final say

Chapter 29 - Straightforwardly strangled

Outside the palace, the General's Mansion.

Xun Huan had already left the palace and returned to the mansion early, but he didn't go in either. He stood waiting at the gate of the mansion. When he saw his father's carriage stopped at the gate, he immediately walked forward.

Xun Biao got out of the carriage, fixed his eyes on the person in front of him, "The queen mother asked you to go back to the barracks, why are you still here?"

"Father, did my sister come back with my father?" Xun Huan was concerned about this.

"You don't need to worry about your sister's affairs, you just take care of your own affairs, don't let the expectations of the queen mother and father..."

"Father, the child will definitely do his own thing well, but how can it be possible for the younger sister? The emperor doesn't have any feelings for the younger sister at all, and based on the rumors in Beijing, the emperor and the prime minister have an ambiguous relationship. Today Ningsheng Palace What you see is even more clear, if my younger sister marries the emperor, even if she is a queen, it will be painful."

Xun Biao frowned, and said angrily, "What do you know?"

"My son doesn't understand, but my son understands that love is a matter of mutual affection. My sister and the emperor have no feelings at all. My sister's wishful thinking will only make me fall into a worse situation in the end."

Xun Huan followed Xun Biao and walked into the mansion. Hearing these words, Xun Biao stopped in his tracks, "Since you all know that the emperor and Qi Yang have a very close relationship, it is even more natural for your sister to become a queen."

"It's just like this. It's not uncommon for men from Dongxuan Kingdom to be masculine."

"But he is the emperor, even if he has such an idea, it can only be for fun."

"Why?" Xun Huan was puzzled, "Father, did you do this for the emperor's consideration, or for the status of the Xun family, so you just pushed your sister out."

Seeing that the people in front of him did not speak, Xun Huan immediately said again: "So, in Ningsheng Palace today, what the Prime Minister said is true. My father actually wanted to stabilize the Xun family and the status of the Queen Mother, so..."

Before he could say this, a loud slap fell directly on Xun Huan's face, "Bastard, is this your attitude when talking to me? Go back to the barracks now, don't come out without my order, follow The Major General’s people are on the lookout for me, if there is a slight mistake, see if I don’t take your skin off.”

Xun Huan chuckled lightly, and didn't feel how painful the slap on his face was, "Father, you promised your mother when your mother gave birth to your younger sister, but now you have to do this. You are worthy of giving birth to my younger sister." Mother?"

"Get lost!" Xun Biao scolded coldly.

Xun Huan bowed to the person in front of him, then stepped back and left the General's Mansion.

The old housekeeper of the Xun Mansion standing beside Xun Biao said softly: "Master, please calm down. The young master is also thinking about his sister. The old slave looks at the young master now. He doesn't understand. When he gets older and has more experience, I also understand your pain."

Xun Biao sighed deeply, "I hope it's as you said!" He knew very well that now that the Queen Mother has signaled to the Ministry of Rites, it can be said that the pressure has been put down, and I am afraid that there will be reactions from the court tomorrow. He knew more clearly what Xin'er meant in Ningsheng Palace. The Empress Dowager wanted to turn this uncooked rice into mature rice.

Now the court situation seems to be clear and bright, but privately it is clear that the queen mother took pains to put the emperor on the throne, and she will never let this right slip away from her. The Xun family must be in the court situation. occupies an important position.

……

Asahi Palace.

"The lower official has seen the prince!"

Xiao Xu looked at the person standing in front of him, it was Gu Xiu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and then he smiled, and slowly put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table next to him, "Master Gu is here now, what's the matter? "

Gu Xiu stared at Xiao Xu, "Prince Xu really has a lot of leisure."

"Now that the throne has been determined, this king should naturally be a handsome prince. Otherwise, things like the assassination of the imperial garden will not all be blamed on this prince, who was once proposed by the former emperor." Xiao Xu There was a steady smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's just that Mr. Gu has a problem, and this king should help him. If Mr. Gu doesn't dislike it, you can try the rough tea from Prince Xu's Mansion!"

Immediately, Xiao Xu poured a cup of tea, pushed it to the opposite side of the small table, and signaled Gu Xiu to sit down.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu performed the salute, and slowly sat down cross-legged beside him, "The Empress Dowager ordered that the Ministry of Rites will be the head of the court tomorrow, and proposed that the emperor be the empress, but the empress dowager did not specify who the empress would be, but only asked the Ministry of Rites to be the queen. Let the emperor agree to this."

"Does Master Gu think that such a proposal can be successful?" Xiao Xu picked up the cup of tea, sniffed the fragrance of the tea lightly, and took a sip.

"This..." Gu Xiu was a little puzzled, "My lord, what should I do as a lower official tomorrow?"

Xiao Xu said calmly, "Why wait until tomorrow, maybe when Mr. Gu returns to the mansion, someone will already be waiting for Mr. Gu!"

Gu Xiu immediately agreed, "Your Highness, you mean the Prime Minister?"

Seeing his anxious look, Xiao Xu said slowly: "It seems that Qi Yang really makes you very afraid."

"I also ask the prince to give me some advice."

"The Empress Dowager wants you to propose it, so you propose it. The proposals of the six departments are always submitted to the Prime Minister first. What do you think, Master Gu?"

Gu Xiu understood in an instant that he followed the Queen Mother's order, but the proposal was handed over to the Prime Minister, and it was up to the Prime Minister to veto it. As for the follow-up, if the Queen Mother pursued it, it was not his problem. "Thank you, my lord, for your suggestion, I understand."

Xiao Xu smiled coldly, but continued to tease without looking at Gu Xiu, "Since you understand, then you should not go back to the house, but don't make the guests at the house wait for a long time."

Gu Xiu stood up straight away, bowed to the person in front of him, and then backed away.

Here, when Gu Xiu came out of Prince Xu's Mansion, he didn't stay for a moment, and returned directly to his own mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the servants in the mansion came back and forth, and he directly stopped him. At this moment, the matter had already happened, of course he knew it clearly. There is no doubt that once it is proposed, it must be nipped in the bud.

No one knew about the relationship between the emperor and the prime minister, but no one dared to tell the truth, because no one would be stupid enough to go directly against the Qi family, against Qi Yang.

As for the trade-off between the empress dowager and the prime minister, everyone has to weigh it, but when dealing with things, it is the best way to deal with things now.

There is a future response to the future, don't worry now, Gu Xiu is a person with some experience, how can he not know that the situation is changing rapidly, at any time, there will be surprising variables, so keep the same Fang is the best policy.

Thinking clearly, Gu Xiu went straight to the main hall...
