My prime minister has the final say

Anything, once announced from the court, it will sweep everything like a whirlwind...

After the emperor and the prime minister left, the courtiers had no intention of leaving.

Su Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said directly, "After the former Minister of War, Tao Zhou, was withdrawn, the new Minister of War, Zhao Han, is coming to take office today. We are both ministers of six departments, why don't we go together?"

Hubu Shangshu Yang Chen echoed beside him, "I can do it."

Liu Shuo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Luo Qing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, they looked at each other, as if after the incident between Xun Biao and King Ning Xiaoyue, Yang Chen and Su Yu could understand it even more, perhaps from the Lijiang incident at that time After the end, the attitudes of the two of them have changed a little, and now it seems that there is no slight deviation.

The two responded together, "Since that's the case, then of course we will go together, but what about Mr. Gu?"

Gu Xiu's face was as if he had been weighed heavily, and he said to them: "I don't have time now, do you think the matter between the emperor and the prime minister is easy in ten days? The etiquette must be thorough, and there must be no mistakes in every step. Now I have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to discuss with the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As for the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, I can only wait for this matter to pass. .”

Su Yu quickly said: "It's not in a hurry, Mr. Gu is for the emperor's business, not to mention that the six ministers will see you up and down in the future, there are plenty of opportunities."

Gu Xiu nodded, "So, then I'll go ahead."

……

Inside the imperial study.

Xiao Yi looked at Qi Yang, and said seriously, "It's settled now."

Qi Yang smiled joyfully, "Of course, everything has been finalized, and Gu Xiu should already be making preparations."

"Will this be very hasty?" Xiao Yi was a little worried. Even if the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were to take care of this wholeheartedly in ten days, it might not be comprehensive!

"No." Qi Yang said in a firm tone.

Xiao Yi was about to speak, when suddenly Xiao Xiazi's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Prince Rui and Prince Jin are begging to see you."

"Why are the second and third brothers here?" Xiao Yi thought about it, and said to Xiao Xiazi, "Please come in."

At this time, Xiao Rui and Xiao Ye walked into the imperial study.

Naturally, the proper manners are still not lacking at all.

Instead, Xiao Ye said calmly: "Congratulations to the emperor and the prime minister. This news sounds a bit shocking, but now it seems that it is indeed a very good thing. Just now we are in the mother's palace. When I heard the news, I was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it was all taken for granted."

Xiao Rui did not have Xiao Ye's calm heart, but instead said in a very teasing tone, "This is not very good, the emperor and the prime minister are the unique cooperation in heaven and earth, that is a perfect match."

Xiao Yi felt a little embarrassed when he was told, "Second brother, you are exaggerating too much!"

Xiao Rui continued, "It's not an exaggeration at all. As long as the emperor looks like this, it's not suitable to ration anyone. Only standing with the prime minister is perfect."

With Qi Yang at the side, he said leisurely, "When will Prince Rui have such a level?"

"It doesn't matter whether the prime minister is talking about the king's affairs or not. If the emperor feels that the minister lacks a suitable person to take care of him, why don't he give the minister the little Xia who is beside the emperor?" Xiao Rui Said in a playful tone.

When Xiao Yi heard this, he was a little surprised, "Xiao Xiazi? How could such a good thing get involved in Xiao Xiazi? Did the second brother take a fancy to Xiao Xiazi? When did it happen!"

Xiao Ye immediately said: "Your Majesty, it's nothing, the Emperor doesn't know about Second Brother's temperament, but he just made fun of it!"

Xiao Rui shook his head, "Forget it, it's boring."

Xiao Xiazi was standing by the side, he was involved in this in a daze, but on such an occasion, how could he dare to talk too much as a slave, he could only shut up silently by the side!

Xiao Yi looked at Qi Yang, not knowing what to say.

Immediately, Xiao Ye went on to say: "I don't know if the fifth brother will come to congratulate the emperor after such a thing spreads?"

Xiao Rui didn't wait, and said straight out, "I'm afraid I'm still in shock because of the fourth brother!"

Qi Yang was a little unexpected that Xiao Rui would say this so bluntly, but he didn't think too much about it, but just stayed calmly by the side.

After groping for a while, Xiao Ye always felt that the atmosphere was still a bit awkward, so he directly said to Xiao Rui: "Second brother, we still need to go out of the palace, so let's go first!"

Xiao Rui was not ambiguous, but followed, and went outside together.

After the two of them left, Xiao Yi was a little puzzled, and asked Qi Yang directly, "Do you know what the second brother said about the fifth brother just now? The figure of Fifth Brother, could it be..."

"Okay, don't worry about these things. Now we should be happy and wait for our wedding day."

"The day of the big wedding", when thinking of this, the joy in Xiao Yi's heart surged up, but it was still accompanied by a bit of shyness.

Qi Yang raised his hand, but lightly stroked Xiao Yi's forehead, and as he stroked his cheek, the temperature left behind was like a trace left behind, and the feeling was clear.

……

In the palace of Concubine Shun.

Xiao Xu looked at the person in front of him, and said softly, "Concubine Mother, it seems that I should also find a chance to congratulate the emperor and the prime minister."

When Concubine Shun heard this, she sighed depressedly, "If you go, I'm afraid Qi Yang may not accept it, but I really can't figure it out, how could the Queen Mother think that she would approve such a thing, There is no voice of refutation at all in the church, and what is even more ridiculous is that the common people do not deny this at all, it is simply unimaginable."

Xiao Xu didn't care about this at all, and said directly: "Mother Concubine, the Queen Mother no longer has the support of the Xun family, so the one she relies on is the emperor, and the emperor sits firmly on the throne, and that is the Qi family she relies on. Didn’t they just come out? As for the courtiers, it’s not all caused by following the wind, those people are the best at adapting to the wind, and they don’t fall in whichever direction the wind blows?”

"Isn't the emperor afraid of cutting off children and grandchildren?" Concubine Shun said coldly, not caring at all, "Yes, it's not surprising that emperors in the past had male favorites, but the emperor married his courtiers and even performed a big wedding ceremony. This is not a joke. ?"

"Mother Concubine, let's talk about these things, and it's not good to spread them." Xiao Xu said in a condensed voice, "Actually, Mother Concubine also knows that this is not a strange thing in Dongxuan Kingdom, perhaps because the emperor's identity is a little sensitive, But because of this combination, it will make the follow-up more difficult."

Concubine Shun thought about it, and thought about it, "You mean, after the emperor and the prime minister got married, the Qi family stood behind the emperor without reservation. With the strength of the Qi family, it is not easy to shake Now, and after Qi Yang put Xun Biao in order, the strength of the top ten generals is now basically equal to the entire Dongxuan Kingdom in Qi Yang's hands, right?"

Xiao Xu nodded, "What the concubine mother said is true!"

"The Ministry of Rites has already agreed to this matter? Didn't you say anything?"

"Mother and concubine, even the common people approve of this marriage now, let alone a Ministry of Rites. Moreover, as far as I know, Qi Yang has already been preparing for this matter. I am afraid that the House of Internal Affairs has already prepared for it a long time ago." The matter of Xun Biao, who bought the things they used for their big wedding, just gave an opportunity."

Concubine Shun felt a little depressed, "Is there nothing you can do? You are worse than Xiao Yi in any way. Obviously, the first emperor had already discussed the reserve with you, but why did you change your mind later?"

Xiao Xu said slowly: "Now this matter can only be done slowly, and you can't be too aggressive. Mother and concubine, I believe that I will definitely not let go of what belongs to me."

Concubine Shun nodded with satisfaction, "Gu Xiu, the Ministry of Rites, you should go and see more, if this matter can take this opportunity to add a little bit of something, it's not a big deal, since everything in the future will be more complicated. If you are in trouble, let's see if we can find a flaw in this matter!"

"My son understands that mother and concubine should also be careful in the palace."

After speaking, Xiao Xu didn't stay here any longer, and left here straight away.

But when passing through the imperial garden, it was a coincidence.

"Big Brother, what a coincidence, is Big Brother leaving the palace now, or going to the Imperial Study to congratulate the Emperor?"

Xiao Xu looked at the person in front of him, "Sixth brother, it is indeed a coincidence that this king just came out of the mother's concubine's palace, seeing the sixth brother like this, it is..."

Xiao Jing replied, "I'm just going to pay my respects to my mother. I just came out. Is it because the elder brother hasn't heard the news yet, or is he not planning to go?"

"How could it be, let alone such important news, who would not have heard it." Xiao Xu said in a condensed voice, "Just in time, it would be a bit embarrassing to think of going to the imperial study alone. With the sixth younger brother accompanying me, I still feel that Less weird."

"Strange?" Xiao Jing smiled, "So Big Brother doesn't like such things!"

Xiao Xu explained leisurely, "Why don't you like it? It's just going to the imperial study alone. It's hard to avoid being embarrassed when you think of us as you and me. , it will be a matter of time.”

"So that's what elder brother thinks, but I misunderstood what elder brother was thinking." Xiao Jing responded to Xiao Xu's words with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although Xiao Xu didn't have a deep understanding of Xiao Jing's thoughts, he didn't need to think too much about it, so he said directly: "Then let's go, after going there, you can still get out of the palace." !"

Xiao Jing agreed, and the two of them just went straight to the direction of the imperial study...
