My prime minister has the final say

Here, Xiao Xiazi followed the emperor's wishes and sent Xiao Rui and Xiao Ye away from the palace.

Xiao Ye couldn't help but still looked at the person in front of him, and asked softly: "Xiao Xiazi, I want to ask you something."

"Excuse me, King Jin, I will tell King Jin everything I know and can say, but if I can't say it, please forgive me..."

"No, it's just a trivial matter." Xiao Ye said as he walked, "Do you still remember the last time this king visited the emperor in the palace?"

Of course Xiao Xiazi remembered, after all, after the emperor ascended the throne, even Jin Wang could not maintain the close relationship with the emperor as before, so such a rare number of times, he was the emperor's personal eunuch, of course he knew it, so he nodded.

Xiao Ye continued, "Then, after that, is there any difference between the prime minister and the emperor?"

Hearing such words, Xiao Xiazi instantly understood what was going on. When he said those words in Yugan Palace just now, there seemed to be a trace of displeasure on the Prime Minister's face. It's just that he But little minion, how can you praise the head and talk the foot.

In the end, he replied slowly, "King Jin is overthinking. You are the emperor's elder brother, and the prime minister is the most trusted existence of the emperor. Everyone knows this. It is only natural for the king of Jin to come to see the emperor, and the prime minister will not Because these are in conflict with the emperor."

Xiao Rui jokingly said beside him: "To be honest, the relationship between Qi Yang and the emperor, even if the world collapses, it is impossible to change it!"

Hearing this suddenly, Xiao Xiazi couldn't help but feel that it was very reasonable, so he replied accordingly, "What Prince Rui said is very true."

Xiao Rui fixed his eyes on Xiao Xiazi, who was clean and tidy. When it comes to eunuchs, everyone looks at them strangely, but looking at this person at the moment, he is small and exquisite, and his face is... even more beautiful than that in Beijing. Boys are even better.

"It seems that there is a 'beauty' beside our emperor's younger brother. No wonder, serving the Holy Majesty, isn't it pleasing to the eye?"

Pleasant?Xiao Xiazi was a little surprised, did he mean him?

"Prince Rui's words are..."

Xiao Xiazi was about to say something but before he could say it, the person walking in front suddenly stopped and bent down. Because of the sudden stop, Xiao Xiazi almost bumped into the arms of the person in front of him. Fortunately, he stood still, but the shortened distance seemed to be stuck on the face of the person who was bent over to be at the same height as himself.

Xiao Rui's eyes met Xiao Xiazi's directly, they were really delicate.

Xiao Xiazi was stunned, looking at each other at such a close distance, especially when the eyes were full of provocation and cynicalism, which made him shudder, why could this person make such a feeling so casually?

Xiao Ye noticed his elder brother's behavior, so he knew that Xiao Rui was teasing the little eunuch on purpose, and said in a deep voice, "Second brother, you are enough, Xiao Xia is someone close to the emperor, how can you just tease him at will."

When Xiao Xiazi heard the voice in his ears, he quickly backed up a few steps, his eyes were full of panic, as if what he was falling into was an existence like an abyss.

Seeing his retreat, Xiao Rui stood up straight, "How could it be a tease, what this king said is the truth, very cute!"

Xiao Xiazi only felt that his face was a little hot, which seemed to be spreading, and the scorching heat reached the back of his ears.

Xiao Ye noticed Xiao Xiazi's reaction, and said to him directly: "Okay, you go back first, you don't need to send it here, we will go out of the palace on our own."

Xiao Xiazi hurriedly saluted, then quickly turned around and left.

Xiao Rui's thumb lightly brushed the corner of his lips, looking at the back of the person walking away, he didn't pay attention before, he didn't know that there was such a treasure beside the emperor!

Looking at Xiao Rui's reaction, Xiao Ye frowned three lines, "Second Brother, Xiao Xiazi is not someone you play around outside, put away your little thoughts."

Xiao Rui chuckled, "Why, at this moment, my good brother knows what I'm thinking again."

"Second brother, I'm just reminding you, don't provoke people around the emperor."

"Where did you provoke me? My good brother, you should relax a bit. You didn't see his reaction just now. Just a few light words can make his ears turn red. It's so cute."

"What are you talking about, second brother, you know it well. Now that fourth brother has returned to Beijing, we need to pay attention to many things." Xiao Ye glared at him, as if such a warning was completely useless. "Also, didn't you think eunuchs were weird before? Why now..."

"That's because I haven't encountered any delicious food!" Xiao Rui said very bluntly. "As for Xiao Yue, what does it have to do with me? I'll do mine, it has nothing to do with him!"

For such people, Xiao Ye could only choose to give up, simply ignore them, and head straight to the outside of the palace.

Xiao Rui could see Xiao Ye's dissatisfaction, and he just shook his head. He didn't find it strange that his younger brother had some stupid thoughts these years. Obviously, the two brothers didn't look like real brothers.

Finally helpless, he can only follow up.

……

Here, Xiao Xu, who left the palace first, has returned to Prince Xu's Mansion.

Just as Xiao Xu got off the carriage, his personal attendant Shen Si reminded him: "My lord, King Ning's carriage followed us all the way. Although Prince Ning's mansion is also on the way, isn't it too strange?"

"What's so strange about it, a strong competitor, what else do you think he has in mind?"

Shen Si couldn't understand Xiao Xu's Shen Ran's words.

Suddenly, Xiao Xu walked over directly, looked at the carriage of Prince Ning's mansion, and called out: "Fourth brother seems to be very leisurely, he has already passed by the mansion of this eldest brother, the king, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?" ?”

Xiao Yue's carriage stopped immediately, and he lifted the curtain from the carriage to look at the people standing beside him, and smiled lightly, "It's better to avoid it, although the elder brother's tea is good, but I'm afraid that the two people who drink tea can't talk to each other. If it is appropriate, it will delay each other's mood and spoil the taste of tea."

Xiao Xu stared at the people sitting in the carriage, and didn't take it seriously. He watched the carriage pass by with a wicked smile on his lips.

Shen Si didn't understand what his lord meant, and asked: "My lord, my subordinates don't understand, why are you going..."

"Insult yourself?"

"This subordinate doesn't mean that." Shen Si was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Xu snorted coldly, "Even if this king is the eldest son of the late emperor, and was even considered by the late emperor, so what? In the end, the father passed the throne to his son. To be honest, this king even He is the eldest son, but this king's mother and concubine are only a concubine in the imperial father's harem..."

"My lord, you have done a good job."

"Already? It's not enough now." Xiao Xu said coldly, "His Xiao Yue's mother concubine is the late emperor's concubine, and even an existence that can rival the mother's empress. Xiao Yue's return to Beijing is so high-profile, everyone feels that What kind of plan, I know it well, not to mention whether it can be done or not, it all depends on its own ability, but this early bird often has his head cut off. When he left Beijing, he put the king together, could it be Can't this king give him a copy back?"

Confused by Shen Si, Xiao Xu took advantage of the situation and said, "Doesn't he like to be high-profile? Then let's make it more turbulent, won't it?"

"My lord is saying that just now, the news that King Ning directly disregarded his invitation will spread?"

"Since he thinks he's superior to others, it's not unusual for him to say something disrespectful and ignoring his elder brother!"

"But, my lord, is it really useful?"

"Whether it is useful or not will make people jealous."

Shen Si seemed to have thought of it, "Your Highness, you mean the Prime Minister?"

"Okay, let's go home!"

After finishing speaking, he went straight back to the palace.

……

Here, Xiao Yue's carriage also stopped at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion.

Yan Jue, Xiao Yue's personal attendant, asked softly: "My lord just invited Xu Wang, why did you refuse? In fact, we can try it out?"

"Testing?" Xiao Yue sneered, "Yan Jue, you have been with me for so long, don't you still have this little knowledge? At the beginning, the father had the idea of ​​discussing the prince with him, and among the many brothers, he was the only one. He was singled out by his father to talk about it, but in the end the throne did not fall into his hands, now that you see him quiet and quiet, do you think he has no ambitions? It’s all just each other, why bother to test it.”

Yan Jue felt a little ashamed, "It's because of my subordinate's negligence."

"At today's banquet, Xiao Xu made it clear that he wanted to target this king. The move we left at that time didn't work. Fortunately, it didn't cause too much trouble. It's just that Xiao Xu's cunning fox , he won't give up easily."

"What the prince said is true. After that incident came out, our people also watched in private. King Xu went to meet the emperor and the prime minister. I think he should have expressed his position."

Xiao Yue put on a cold face, "He expresses his position, but do you think Qi Yang will believe it? Maybe Xiao Xu has no problem with that matter, but Qi Yang will never It's easy to trust anyone."

After that, Xiao Yue walked into the mansion, looked at Yan Jue, continued with a light smile, "Xiao Xu is pretending to be indifferent now, isn't he just choosing to retreat. Everyone has their own skills in these things, and who will succeed in one fell swoop?" , who owns this world.”

"However, my lord, now that the emperor has the prime minister by his side, plus the Xun family, it is hard to move after all, and the recent actions of the prime minister have the meaning of doing something to Liubu. One Qi family and one Xun family, in fact ..."

"There's nothing to say. The Xun family controls military power, but there is a very subtle distinction between governing and military power. It only takes one opportunity, and many things will change drastically." Xiao Yue said in a condensed voice.

What's more, he is very clear that because of certain things, the relationship between Qi Yang and Xun Biao is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface. The relationship between the Xun family is completely dependent on the queen mother. If there is consensus at the same level, the direction of the wind will shift at any time.
