My prime minister has the final say

Sitting next to him, Xiao Yi was a little shocked when he heard such words, because he had no idea that in front of so many people, the queen mother would say such words. After all, before this, the relationship between the queen mother and Qi Yang But fire and water are incompatible.

On the other hand, Qi Yang didn't think too much about the remarks made by the Empress Dowager Xun, as if it was expected, and there was no need to feel any doubts. Thoughts, but at least for now, Empress Dowager Xun knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Yue said, "This Prime Minister is not comparable to others, so it is not surprising that he appeared at the family banquet."

Qi Yang listened, and then said, "The Imperial Tomb has done a good job in what King Ning is responsible for this time. It's no wonder that when the late emperor was alive, major matters such as the rectification of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials were entrusted to Ning. The king came to cook, and now Lord Yang and Lord Su still praise King Ning very much."

Xiao Yu sat at the side and responded: "Your Prime Minister is right. During the time that the fourth brother was in the imperial mausoleum, he took care of every matter big and small, and had almost no time to take care of himself. It was really frustrating. People admire it."

Qi Yang sneered in his heart, did he really have no time to take care of other things?Xiao Yu didn't speak at first, and he didn't worry about whether the information collected from the bottom would be biased. Now it seems that in this capital, he must pay more attention to Xiao Yu in the future.

No matter what kind of thoughts he has, Qi Yang must ensure that there will be absolutely no deviations. Such a thing is no different from sailing on the sea, and a little wind and waves will have a great impact.

Xiao Yi said slowly, "This is hard work, brother four, I would like to offer you a toast."

Xiao Yue immediately stood up, raised his wine glass, bowed to the person seated above, and then drank the wine. "These are all things that I should do well. If the emperor is like this, I will be terrified."

At this time, Xiao Rui said in a slightly drunken voice: "Who says it's not? The fourth brother is different from us, so the father entrusts the fourth brother with a heavy responsibility. For someone like me, besides drinking and having fun, It seems that there is no other director."

Concubine Yin coughed, "You bastard, you can talk nonsense after drinking."

Sitting beside Xiao Rui, Xiao Ye tugged at the skirt of his shirt, signaling him to restrain himself.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi smiled slowly: "If it is really possible to think about nothing and just be intoxicated in what you want to do, it might not be a kind of ability, but it is a pity that many times, it may not be possible to do so free."

Everyone dared not answer Xiao Yi's sudden emotion.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Xun hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "You are all the princes of the late emperor, but this is the difference between the nine sons of the Dragonborn. You have your own preferences, so as long as you don't deviate from your duty, it doesn't matter."

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "It's still the empress who understands the son's thoughts best, and we have nothing to deviate from. If we are always accompanied by fine wine and beauties..."

Xiao Ye said coldly, "Second brother, you are drunk."

Seeing this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but said: "We are all brothers, so what is there to deviate from? Second brother's true temperament is really interesting."

"Fourth brother was joking, and what he said was just drunken talk. What is true temperament? After all, true temperament is too floating, who knows if it's true or not." Xiao Rui smiled slightly, "Fourth brother has not If you are not in the capital, but you are back, you have to get to know it well, the new emperor ascends the throne, everything is a new look."

Xiao Yi followed Xiao Rui's words and said: "Second brother is joking, the so-called newness is only due to Qi Yang's help, and it will be better if we work hard in the future."

Xiao Yue went on to say, "I still vaguely remember how much I loved the emperor when my father was here, and I didn't let the emperor be affected by anything, and I specially let the prime minister guard by my side, even though I said nothing. I have never touched it, but now sitting on the emperor's seat, I really look like an emperor, it seems that the Prime Minister has contributed a lot!"

Qi Yang could understand Xiao Yue's words. There was something easily misinterpreted in it. It seemed, to put it nicely, that he, the assistant minister, had meritorious service. Control the government.

"King Ning is serious. Everything is what a subject should do. What's more, the late emperor entrusted the subject to do his best. It's just that the emperor and the new emperor are taking the throne. It is inevitable that there are many things that are not comprehensive, or there are some deficiencies. It will always lead to some strange treatment, and the purpose of being by the emperor's side is to clear the obstacles for the emperor. After all, the emperor is inexperienced, so it is inevitable that some people will rely on themselves and want to do something, and the role of the minister is to solve the obstacles."

At this family banquet, everyone had their own thoughts, trying to figure out each other.

After listening to Qi Yang's words, Xiao Yue will inevitably feel a little grudge, but now that he has returned to the capital, some things still need to be eliminated, and what Qi Yang said obviously has doubts about him, and even more so. What's more, Qi Yang was interested in Yang Chen and Su Yu, obviously targeting them.

He still didn't understand that when he left Beijing to go to the imperial mausoleum, he made some arrangements, and success or failure had an effect. Now it seems that the guidance he set up did not lead Qi Yang and the others to Xiao Xu's side, but instead He also left a hole for himself.

Xiao Yue's mind ran through these things quickly, and in an instant, he said: "I heard something when I returned to Beijing, and I was really shocked. If the prime minister didn't mention it, I don't need to mention it anymore. , as long as the prime minister is by the emperor's side, he will definitely be able to clear the way for the emperor and protect the emperor Zhouquan."

Empress Dowager Xun looked at Xiao Yue, and immediately said: "You have also heard the news that the emperor was assassinated at that time?"

Qi Yang was really unambiguous about Queen Mother Xun's quick question, and he had a clear view of those thoughts.

After this incident came out, originally Qi Yang deliberately concealed it and investigated it privately, but Empress Dowager Xun knew about it. Since she couldn't cover it up, she followed suit. In the palace, the mouths of those palace people have no control, so it is naturally you Pass it on to me, I will pass it on to you, and, in the palace, who doesn't have an eyeliner?

If not, how would Xiao Xu know.

Concubine Chen Gui did not speak for a long time, and only at this moment did she utter a leisurely sentence, "Sister Queen Mother, I told him about this matter. Although that matter did not cause too much trouble at the time, the prime minister suppressed all of them with his own efforts. However, the situation at that time will inevitably be seen by others, although it has not been widely publicized, but not everyone who should know it knows."

Qi Yang then explained, "The emperor was fine at the time, so he didn't pursue the matter any further, and those assassins were dead men, so it's useless to keep such people, so I sent them all to die, it's not good to spread the word. The emperor has just ascended the throne, and needs stability, but an assassin appears in the palace, so what do the common people think, it is most appropriate to deal with it coldly."

At this time, Xiao Yu said slowly: "Sure enough, the prime minister cares about the emperor's affairs the most. This makes people think of when he was a child, the prime minister was just the young master of the Qi family, a young talent valued by his father. It’s really great, just like now, everything is unbiased and everything is considered.”

Qi Yang didn't pay attention to Xiao Yu's words, but redirected the question to Xiao Yue, "King Ning, what's in his mind when he heard such a thing?"

Xiao Yue replied solemnly, "This matter is abominable, but it's a pity that I didn't know the mastermind behind the scenes from those people."

"King Ning really thinks so?"

"The emperor's accession to the throne is the meaning of the father, not to mention that the emperor is the youngest of our brothers. We are all brothers. Is there any reason why we don't think such a thing is hateful?"

Xiao Xu said coldly, "What the fourth brother said is very true, such a person is really hateful."

Qi Yang was the first to hear the meaning of Xiao Xu's words, but the expression on Xiao Yue's face was really handled very delicately, without showing his ability, it's no wonder that the emperor would really think that Xiao Yue is a capable person People, it's just that once this person sits on the throne, in order to wipe out dissidents, for once and for all, it is absolutely commonplace to be ruthless.

Xiao Yiduan took the seat, "Okay, it's all in the past, so there's no need to bring it up again. I set up a family banquet today just to have fun with the whole family. Don't talk about those disappointing things." gone."

After these words came out, everyone stopped studying those things carefully, and put aside their temptations for the time being, and the rest was just chatting and laughing.

The time of having fun like this always passed quietly, and finally the family banquet ended.

Xiao Xu, Xiao Yue, Xiao Jing, and Xiao Li left the palace first.

Xiao Ye has always been close to Xiao Yi, so after such a banquet, he will naturally stay. Originally, Xiao Rui was going to leave the palace, but Dowager Yin ordered that with Xiao Ye, after the drinks at the banquet just now, he needed to be with her. The emperor explained clearly, don't leave a bad impression in front of the emperor, so he reluctantly followed along.

Xiao Yu also hadn't returned to the palace for a long time, he was raised under the Empress Dowager's lap since he was a child, although Xiao Yi mostly stayed with Qi Yang, but among the brothers, Xiao Yu also came along with him in terms of this level of relationship.

In Yugan Palace.

"If that's the case, let the three brothers have another cup of tea! Quan should be sober." Xiao Yi said in a low voice.

Sitting next to him, Xiao Yu said with a smile: "It's really interesting to think back to those when I was a child. I thought that the prime minister would always take extra care of the emperor because of his father. Now, when I look at the prime minister and the emperor It’s also so inseparable, it’s true.”

Xiao Rui sat on one side, sneered, "Could it be that fifth brother is jealous?"

Qi Yang's eyes fell on Xiao Rui, and they all said that he was good at wine and beautiful women, but in many things, maybe drunk people can see clearly than anyone else, what is Xiao Yu's mind, whether to see through it or not, maybe Only Xiao Yi, a little sheep, would feel that because of the relationship with Queen Mother Xun, Xiao Yu and him are quite close.

Xiao Yu's face was embarrassed for a moment, "How come, why does the second brother speak like this?"
