My prime minister has the final say

Sure enough, Yang Chen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood up directly, "Show the Emperor, the governor of Xunjiang Bai Li submitted a proposal about Xunjiang, the Ministry of Household Affairs is not sure, today's court discussion, I'm here..."

Xiao Yi was sitting upright, although he was sitting on the emperor's throne at a young age, he was the son of the late emperor after all, and he had the majesty and majesty of the late emperor.

"What Yang Aiqing said was about Nanyang Country's new proposal for the control of Xunjiang?" Xiao Yi asked in a cold voice.

When Yang Chen heard this sentence, he was stunned for a moment, and then continued to answer: "What the emperor said is true, it is indeed this matter, and the scope of such matters is linked to the Ministry of Households, but such After all, important matters involve two countries, and I dare not make decisions on my own."

When Yang Chen finished speaking, Qi Yang said in a cold voice: "Don't dare to make decisions without authorization? I don't know if Mr. Yang's meaning is already acquiescing to the proposal of Nanyang Country? It seems that Mr. Yang, the household department Shang Shu seems to have lost a piece of control over major events!"

Xun Biao took advantage of the situation and said: "My lord, what Master Yang said is understandable. Only the emperor can make the decision. If he makes a decision, he is not suspected of overstepping his authority. What's more, since two countries are involved, if he is a little careless, he will The Prime Minister thinks this is an appropriate way to meet each other in battle?"

Qi Yang had his own way to respond to Xun Biao's words, and just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yi said in a colder voice: "The general said that he felt that the agreement reached with the Nanyang Kingdom in the hands of the late emperor is now going to be invalidated? It doesn't matter even if Nanyang country wantonly destroys the original covenant?"

After all, Xun Biao couldn't show it too much, he could only back away, "The emperor's words are serious, and the minister didn't mean that!"

The courtiers all knew that this Xun Biao was the Emperor's uncle. Although it was said that Xun Biao was clearly inclined to favor Yang Chen just now, and this Yang Chen has always been closely related to King Ning. The entanglements here are becoming more and more complicated. up.

Xiao Yi looked at Yang Chen, "So the Ministry of Household Affairs has made a preliminary draft plan now?"

Yang Chen replied, "Your Majesty, the Nanyang Country did not approve of the agreement made by the former emperor at that time. Although the mastership of Xunjiang has not been clearly proposed in the past dynasties, there is still some haggling overtly and secretly. If If we want to solve it completely, the emperor has to follow the example of the previous emperor and visit Xunjiang in person."

Xiao Yi looked at Yang Chen, "Okay, you send a letter to tell Bai Li that I will go to Xunjiang some day, and let him know the prince of Nanyang Country, if he can't decide what happened to Xunjiang, let him He should go back early."

Yang Chen didn't expect the emperor to say such words suddenly, he was really shocked, but he didn't dare to say more, he just responded, "Yes, I understand!"

Qi Yang fixed his eyes on the person sitting on the dragon chair, and felt relieved in his heart. Xiao Yi did well what he should do in the position of emperor. As for the dark side behind him, he would help Xiao Yi settle it.

Xun Biao was a little surprised by Xiao Yi's reaction, but after seeing Qi Yang's attitude of not taking it seriously, it seems that Qi Yang has not been working hard on Xiao Yi recently.

The court was suddenly quiet, Xiao Yi didn't stop there, seeing that Yang Chen was about to retreat, he immediately said again: "Yang Aiqing just said that this matter belongs to the scope of the Ministry of Household Affairs, since that's the case, then this trip to Xunjiang Yang Aiqing will go with me!"

"Ah—" Yang Chen was a little caught off guard?

Xiao Yi chuckled lightly, "What? I don't think it's right? I just think that Yang Aiqing is more uncle and nephew in the matter of the household department, or Yang Aiqing didn't imagine that the division of the household department involved..."

Yang Chen responded immediately: "I am following the emperor's orders."

"That's great!" Xiao Yi turned to look at Xun Biao, "Since the Nanyang country started this matter first, it must be that Xunjiang has their own power, but I know very well that we also have deployments in Xunjiang, the general , Is what I said wrong?"

Xun Biao couldn't figure it out at all, but he could only respond, "Is that what it means, the emperor wants his ministers to go with him?"

"Why, I remember that the general is very optimistic about Xun Huan. As a young general, it should be more than enough to deploy and deploy the forces arranged in the Xunjiang area!"

"The emperor wants Xun Huan to accompany you?"

"No?" Xiao Yi still just asked back.

After all, Xun Biao didn't dare to refute, so he could only nod his head in response, "Xun Huan is also a subject of the emperor, if the emperor has orders, he will naturally be there whenever he is called!"

"I thought the general would be worried!"

"How could it be, the emperor's words are serious!"

The courtiers in the court were a little astonished at such a dialogue, and they couldn't tell what was involved and what kind of situation it was.

Xiao Yi finally said with certainty, "That's it, this matter is finalized, and the follow-up arrangements will be left to the prime minister to make the final decision!"

Qi Yang bowed in response.

At this time, Xiao Xiazi stood beside him and shouted: "There is a book to play, and I will leave the court without incident!"

Everyone saluted, and after Xiao Yi left, they dispersed separately.

Qi Yang looked at Xun Biao, "How does the general think the emperor's response to this matter? The general is not worried that Xun Huan will go with him, right? I also know that the general has high hopes for Xun Huan, but there are many Everything needs to be practiced, and the emperor is giving Xun Huan a chance."

"you……"

Qi Yang ignored Xun Biao at all, and just looked at Yang Chen, "Master Yang, go back and prepare well, and go to the Ministry of Households to sort out all the files of Xunjiang, including everything that the late emperor was alive, so don't go to When you are not ready, don't let the emperor question your ability as the Minister of the Household Department, you think I don't have the authority to intervene directly, if you let the emperor down, do you think the emperor has the right?"

Yang Chen didn't dare to say anything, just kept nodding in response.

A group of people walked out of the Golden Luan Hall together. The moment they stepped out of the hall, Qi Yang still looked back at Xun Biao, and said with a smile: "The general wants to make a new choice. It is good to have the opportunity to choose, so don't waste it." If you choose a wrong path, it will be bad!"

After all, he didn't listen to what Xun Biao had to say, but left without taking it seriously.

Here, Qi Yang turned and only went in the direction of the imperial study.

However, when he came over, he saw Xiao Yi standing outside the imperial study, and then looked at the people standing beside him, so he already knew what was going on.

When Xiao Yi saw Qi Yang, he immediately called him.

Qi Yang said softly, "Perhaps the empress dowager wants to find ministers more, the emperor still has government affairs to deal with, why don't you have a good talk with the empress dowager?"

Empress Dowager Xun didn't speak, what Xiao Yi disliked the most was facing him and not dealing with it later, Qi Yang was like his savior, and immediately slipped into the imperial study.

Qi Yang led Empress Dowager Xun to the side hall of the Imperial Study Room. As soon as she walked in, Empress Dowager Xun asked: "Qi Yang, you would allow the emperor to agree to go to Xunjiang so readily? Have you ever thought about the consequences of this matter? What? If the new emperor has just ascended the throne and is no longer in the capital, what will happen later?"

"Really?" Qi Yang asked back, "When the empress dowager was thinking about this matter, did she know that the empress dowager paid attention to your brother's movements? If the empress dowager made such a vow at the beginning, she might be severely slapped in the face now. And it's growing so fast!"

Empress Dowager Xun was dull and at a loss for words.

Qi Yang went on smoothly, "This time the Xunjiang ministers will go with me, including Xun Huan!"

"What do you mean?"

"The queen mother is so smart, how could she not know."

"Then about the possible solutions to Nanyang Country's relationship with Xunjiang?"

"Since the emperor is going there in person, is there anything that can't be resolved? He has to agree to Nanyang Kingdom's promise, and he has to agree to it if he doesn't agree. They have no choice." Qi Yang said coldly, "The Queen Mother should be very clear. The collusion is not enough to meet the aspirations of the people. What the emperor wants now is the prestige among the people. What if the new emperor is in power and not in the capital? It was a waste of time, and I just took advantage of this incident, starting with the people of Xunjiang, to build up the emperor's prestige in the hearts of the people."

Empress Dowager Xun was depressed, and her eyes had already told about Xun Biao, but so what, "About Brother Ai, Your Excellency..."

"Isn't the Empress Dowager absolutely in control of this?" Qi Yang interrupted directly, "What? The Empress Dowager feels that she has more energy than she wants?"

"Does it have to be like this between you and Aijia? Don't forget that Aijia is the emperor's biological mother."

"What do you think, Queen Mother, if you are not at this level, what qualifications do you think you have to stand here and speak?" Qi Yang was very indifferent, and didn't pay much attention to the woman in front of him, "If the Queen Mother can't control it, don't interfere , The minister said that it is the best choice for the empress dowager to take care of her life."

"you……"

"What I said is the truth. There is nothing wrong with the empress dowager being the mother of the emperor, but what the empress dowager does is nothing more than power. As for your elder brother, because the power may be disintegrated, the first thing that has been weakened by the emperors of all dynasties is Military power, it's just that the emperor hasn't taken action yet, before these things start, your brother's performance is already clear at a glance."

Empress Dowager Xun could only bear Qi Yang's words, but the reality was such irony that it was impossible to refute it.

"You are so relieved about this Xunjiang trip, maybe they have already planned it!"

"Then come anyway. After what the emperor has endured, after the final completion, the people will feel more in their hearts the efforts made by the emperor for this. This will be more worthy of the people's respect, and let the people know that although the emperor is young, But the emperor has always attached great importance to the affairs of the common people."

"I hope everything will be as the Prime Minister wishes!"

"Naturally, I won't bother the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager still has this leisurely mind, she might as well put her mind on Xun Biao and persuade him not to go astray."
