My prime minister has the final say

Here, after Xiao Xu and Xiao Jing came out of the imperial study, they walked straight outside the palace.

Xiao Xu looked at Xiao Jing, and said in a concentrated voice: "When I was in the imperial study just now, the sixth brother was really interesting!"

When Xiao Jing heard this, he didn't hesitate at all, and responded with a condensed voice: "Brother said this, when we were in the imperial study just now, we were just each other, not to mention the things here are so detailed. do what?"

"Really? It's just that the sixth brother should be more careful when doing things. Whether it is intentional or not, it depends on how the person concerned treats it." Xiao Xu said calmly.

"Participants?" Xiao Jing sneered and said, "Brother, do you want to talk about the emperor and the prime minister? The whole thing revolves around the marriage of the two of them, and everyone from the court to the common people approves of it. Why should I bother?" You are so cautious, but it’s the elder brother. Isn’t the relationship between you and the Minister of Rites, Mr. Gu? This matter must be carefully controlled, and there must be no deviation. If there is any deviation, it’s right To put it mildly, it was the Ministry of Rituals' mistake, and it has nothing to do with Big Brother, if someone intentionally uses this matter to cause trouble, then Big Brother, who do you think has the most problems?"

When Xiao Xu heard Xiao Jing's words, he frowned, but just smiled, "Master Gu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is naturally measured. He is an old minister who has been in the Ministry of Rites since his father, so he naturally has his own. What's more, this matter needs to be negotiated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, such an important matter, who would not be careful?"

Just when Xiao Jing was about to speak, a carriage came over there, and Shen Si, who was standing beside Xiao Xu, said, "My lord, the carriage is here, let's go back home first!"

Xiao Xu looked at Xiao Jing, "Isn't the sixth younger brother's carriage waiting here? Then the king will go first."

Xiao Jing stood at the same place, watching Xiao Xu get into the carriage and leave straight away, until the carriage of Prince Xu's Mansion disappeared into the distance, his carriage was slowly approaching, but he didn't take it seriously, but went straight into the carriage.

Xu Qing, who was at the side, said softly to Xiao Jing: "My lord, what did King Xu's words mean just now?"

"It's not interesting, don't think too much about it." Xiao Jing didn't pay attention to it at all. "Who should be careful? That's not necessarily the case. He thought he was powerful, and he thought that there was Concubine Shun, the royal family of the Xilong Kingdom, so he really felt that the Xilong Kingdom was complete. Can you be his backer?"

Xu Qing said softly: "My lord, this Concubine Shun belongs to the royal family of Xilong. In fact, when the first emperor was alive, she originally had the idea of ​​moving Xu Wang, but in the end she suppressed it. Isn't it because of this consideration?" layer?"

"So, no matter how capable he is Xiao Xu, even if he really has Xilong as his backer, if the emperor really deviates and needs someone to replace him, it will definitely not be him. First of all, those old officials will not Will you agree, do you think that there is a Minister of Rites as a reliance to support it? Don't forget, who is in charge of the current court situation!"

Xu Qing said slowly: "What the lord said is very true, it is indeed something that cannot be easily said, how could the prime minister tolerate this happening, not to mention that the queen mother in the harem would never allow it, right? Even though the Empress Dowager does not have the support of the Xun family, but the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager, she is the first emperor's wife."

There was a cold smile on the corner of Xiao Jing's mouth, and he didn't take it seriously, as if everyone around him became very surprised.

Instead, Xu Qing pondered, "My lord, what do you think will happen if the Ministry of Rites really gets a little tricky about the matter between the emperor and the prime minister?"

"Don't worry, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are only now in contact. This matter is ten days later. Although it is a bit hasty, as far as I know, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already made preparations. It is a process for the Ministry of Rites to get involved. , is inevitable, let's see what the Ministry of Rites has done."

Xu Qing nodded, "Yes, this subordinate understands, and will send someone to watch carefully in private."

……

At this moment, Prince Xu's Mansion.

In the carriage just now, Shen Si knew very well that the prince didn't say a word, so he must have something on his mind.

After entering the study, Shen Si slowly opened his mouth, "My lord, are you still thinking about what King Ying said? Could it be that the lord is worried that King Ying will attack the Ministry of Rites and cause some troubles?"

"Xiao Jing, that villain, is extremely gloomy and always likes to use tricks in secret. The Ministry of Rites must be focusing on these things now. If Xiao Jing wants to do something small behind the scenes, it must be easy to do. Now, if there is a problem with the Ministry of Rites and things here are ruined, who would you say is the first person to be suspected?" Xiao Xu frowned, and couldn't think of an appropriate solution to this for a while. .

When thinking of this, Shen Si's thoughts sank, and he said in a gentle voice: "Then the prince will confess to the prime minister?"

"Frankly? Do you think it's possible? The Ministry of Rites has something to do with this king. If you say this frankly, you will undoubtedly expose all the relationships you want to the sun. How do you think this king should explain it? The timing is not good now. It is still on the cusp of the storm, it is impossible for this king to act rashly, not to mention the fact that the emperor and the prime minister are getting married, who will rush out and do something that should not be done?"

Listening to the whole story, Shen Si couldn't help but feel a little guilty, "It's because the subordinates didn't think carefully."

"If he, Xiao Jing, really wants to play this game, then I will play with him. He wants to take the opportunity to provoke right and wrong. Well, I will use the trick of mantis catching cicada and oriole behind, and tell Gu Xiu to let him take the opportunity. Everyone in the Ministry of Rituals should be vigilant, and those eyes we hide in the dark should be kept sharp, and absolutely nothing can happen."

Hearing such an arrangement, Shen Si didn't know, and responded accordingly: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will take care of all these, and I will never let anything affect my lord."

Xiao Xu sneered, "If Xiao Jing really does something, it's just right to use Qi Yang's hand to completely cut off Xiao Jing's line."

"Is the lord worried about King Ying? Could it be that the lord's strength is not enough..."

"You're wrong. If a gloomy villain like Xiao Jing confronts him head-on, he doesn't need to worry about it. But behind the scenes, he doesn't know what method he can use. All these years, when his father was still alive, what was he like? Preserving yourself is unknown, such a gloomy existence is like a nail stuck on a wooden stake, you seem to be not very good, but in fact, he will infiltrate a little bit..."

Shen Si nodded, "Yes, this subordinate understands!"

Ever since the incident with Xun Biao, Xiao Xu has had a little more speculation in his heart. The power in Qi Yang's hands must not be underestimated, and even the removal of Xiao Yue over Xun Biao's incident is too fast to hide his ears. The speed is extraordinary.

What's more, he recently received news that the situation in Xilong Kingdom is not very good. If it cannot be completely stabilized, it will be very unfavorable to him and his mother, so at this time he can't act rashly, just Can use strength to fight strength.

It would be effective to take advantage of this to solve Xiao Jing. Of course, if not, then everything will be fine, and we will worry about it later. Now he has sent people to Xilong to investigate those things. Make sure everything is safe. Xilong is his last resort. Rely on, there are still many things to take care of in the follow-up, if this layer is missing, it will undoubtedly lose an arm.

He absolutely does not allow such a thing to happen.

……

Prince Yufu.

Ling Bai knew that since the incident with King Ning, his lord has been bored in the palace, doing nothing and ignoring it. Now that such a big thing has happened, there is no one expression, so he can't help but still can't see it. down.

"My lord, do you intend to continue like this forever? That incident has already passed, and the emperor has not expressed anything. It can be seen that it has no influence on you, even if it has a slight influence. As long as the lord expresses something, it will be It can be skipped, now is an excellent opportunity, why is the prince still blindly staying in the mansion?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at the people beside him, "Qi Yang is such a shrewd person, those things between Xun Biao and the fourth brother were all subdued before the incident happened, and even though this king didn't show any signs when he came back from the imperial mausoleum, There was a close relationship with the fourth brother, but according to Qi Yang's ability, he must have known it for a long time, if this king gets close to him now, it will be tantamount to asking for trouble."

"If the prince doesn't go, he is really asking for trouble. Isn't that the same as acquiescence?" Ling Bai said quietly: "Now they are all imprisoned in the sky prison, but the prince is still free, but the prince has been avoiding this. This will only make people more suspicious, is the prince afraid, or is there a ghost in his heart?"

Xiao Yu originally wanted to use Xiao Yue to climb another level, thinking that Xiao Yue's strength is not weak, and he will be blessed by General Xun in the future, but now it seems that the real winner is always on the level of the prime minister .

Ling Bai said slowly: "My lord, now, the news that the emperor and the prime minister are about to get married has been announced to the world, and the lord and the emperor are raised by the queen mother. Wouldn't it be very appropriate for the lord to express his thoughts at this time? It just happens to be able to use this matter to completely clear up the previous ones, isn't it?"

When Xiao Yu heard this, he couldn't believe it, but now it seems that he has been a little dazed for a while, "You are right, the more it is like this, the more suspicious it will be. , this king should make some kind of gesture."

However, he now sees it more clearly. Some things are just delusions, and it is impossible to become a reality. What is possible is to stick to the original layer.

Don't covet those wishful thinking things, otherwise you won't know how to die. After all, like Xiao Yue, isn't the result clearly in front of you?

Seeing that his lord finally expressed something, Ling Bai slowed down a little. If this continues, the entire Prince Yu's Palace will soon be completely silent because of this silence!

He has followed Yu Wang since he was a child, such a thing is not what he wants to see...
