My prime minister has the final say

In the imperial study room, after Xiao Rui and Xiao Ye left, everything was just as usual, nothing else.

But after the silence, Xiao Xiazi came in from outside and said: "Your Majesty, King Xu and King Ying are asking to see you!"

Qi Yang who was standing beside said coldly, "That's interesting, the two of them came here together."

Xiao Yi didn't understand what Qi Yang meant, but he asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with Big Brother and Sixth Brother coming here at this time?"

"What could be wrong, Zuo is just those things, don't worry about it." Qi Yang glanced at Xiao Xiazi.

Afterwards, Xiao Xiazi went out, and Xiao Xu and Xiao Jing came in to meet them.

When the two of them walked in, they naturally saluted Xiao Yi first.

Qi Yang stood beside him, nodding to the two of them.

After all this, Xiao Xu first opened his mouth and said: "It turns out that the prime minister is still in the imperial study. It just so happens that the matter between the emperor and the prime minister has already spread. It just so happens that I will enter the palace today to pay my respects to my concubine. At this moment Come here and express your congratulations."

Xiao Jing responded, "Exactly, since I was a child, I knew that the emperor and the prime minister had a close relationship. After growing up, the emperor has always been clinging to the prime minister. Later, when he became emperor, the prime minister, as the auxiliary minister, also accompanied him. Now It is not expected that this matter will be announced and announced to the world.”

Xiao Yi didn't think much about it, and didn't know how to respond to them, but in the end he just cast his eyes on Qi Yang.

Qi Yang stood beside him, smiled slightly, and said seriously, "King Xu and King Ying have a heart, and this kind of thing is as expected, as King Ying said, so there is no need to explain anything."

Xiao Jing smiled, "That's not the case. The king heard in private that the people are very appreciative of this matter, but think about it, if the emperor is not with the prime minister, who should he be with? "

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly dropped, and it was a little dull.

Xiao Xu said immediately, "I know this kind of thing well, so why bother to speak out? Didn't the sixth brother hear it? It's already a bit biased to speak out about something that has already been established?"

Xiao Jing had to justify himself, and immediately added, "Although this is the case, if it is sincere, why would you mind it? Only people with ulterior motives would care about so much. After all, my elder brother has a good relationship with Mr. Gu, Minister of Rites. The matter must be handed over to the Ministry of Rites, if you have time, brother, why not go to the Ministry of Rites to see more?"

Sitting in front of the dragon case, Xiao Yi just listened to what they had to say to each other, and they kept talking. Originally, they thought that the two of them came together. Not necessarily.

Xiao Xu took advantage of the situation and said, "Your Prime Minister is the head of the six departments, and the matter of the Ministry of Rites is naturally out of my turn, not to mention being friendly with Mr. Gu is just a matter of similar hobbies, just as the sixth brother said. , this person, sincerity is the most important thing, don't have too many ulterior motives."

Qi Yang looked at them coldly, the sincerity of one or two is just a cover, they are all people with ulterior motives.

He looked at the people in front of him coldly, and said with a smile: "King Xu and King Ying are concerned about this matter, so don't worry too much about other things. After all, everything that should be determined has already been controlled, so there is no need to bother so much." gone."

Finally, after these words were settled, Xiao Xu and Xiao Jing did not stay any longer, and after repeatedly expressing their intentions, they withdrew from the Imperial Study Room.

When they left, Xiao Yi looked at Qi Yang and shook his head, "They are really interesting and well behaved. It's really meaningless to argue about these things."

"They just have their own ghosts, don't take it seriously." Qi Yang said softly.

While pondering, Xiao Yi asked Qi Yang: "Speaking of which, I also don't understand something about the sixth brother. I always think he is a poor person. Why is he so obsessed with it? And his thoughts are gloomy. , always trying to target something."

Qi Yang looked at Xiao Yi's innocent appearance, and smiled, "For a person like him, when his mother and concubine died, there will be two kinds of consequences. First, he will sink into a mediocre person because of this, but Obviously, as far as King Ying has shown, he is a person with deep thoughts and plans, so this one is impossible, and then the second possibility is created, and he starts to deal with it step by step, carefully. Forget it, then he will plan it himself."

Xiao Yi heard this, "It's all because of..."

Qi Yang shook his head, "Don't think about it too much, how could King Ying not know, not to mention that his mother and concubine are the late emperor's virtuous concubine, she is a noble existence, if the virtuous concubine is still there, he will receive even more attention." If you pay attention to it, it will naturally not need to exist in such a dark way like it is now."

Xiao Yi heard it in his ears, but he still hesitated a bit, and sighed slowly, "Could it be that he also has the intention of treason? Even so, it is impossible for him to cause any disturbances." , if..."

"So this is the reason for his gloomy mind. Since his own conditions are not enough, he will use other people's conditions to drive up the situation and watch the two sides fight, and he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. Perhaps, in Xun Biao's case Behind him, he also has such thoughts, but unfortunately, I will never give him this opportunity."

"Then where is the eldest brother?" Xiao Yi also knew in his heart that when the fourth brother was powerful, the eldest brother was also standing in the middle, but the matter of the fourth brother involved Xun Biao. Once Xun Biao collapsed, then that The side is also followed by a piece of defeated army.

Qi Yang saw Xiao Yi pointing this point to this point, "It seems that the emperor has some ideas about the things here, and he knows what should be seen more clearly?"

"Well, you still need to understand these, I'm not stupid."

"Yes, my emperor is very smart." Qi Yang said calmly.

Xiao Yi was a little embarrassed by his praise, but instead, Qi Yang continued to say: "For Xiao Xu's level, you don't need to care too much. At the beginning, Xiao Yue relied on the court, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials will Is he standing firmly on his side? There are also the Xun family who joined later, but each of these chess pieces is not an existence on his chessboard in the end. It is really sad to think about it. As for Xiao Xu, the one he relies on It's just the glory brought by his mother and concubine."

"Concubine Shun?"

Qi Yang nodded, "Does the Emperor know what Concubine Shun's surname is?"

Xiao Yi was really puzzled by this and just shook his head.

"Feng!" Qi Yang explained, "That is the royal family of Xilong!"

When Xiao Yi heard it, he immediately thought of something, "Oh... I know, I heard from you at the time that when the father was discussing the crown prince, he had great expectations for the elder brother, but it didn't work out in the end, did he? Is it because of this?"

Seeing that Xiao Yi seemed to understand this point, Qi Yang was really interesting, nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, the first emperor originally had such considerations, but thinking that Concubine Shun is so powerful, and behind it is the Xilong royal family, If King Xu ascends the throne, there will be too many constraints in the future."

"However, big brother and the others will definitely not stop there. They already had such a plan when fourth brother was about to make a move, didn't they?" Xiao Yi asked along the way.

Qi Yang didn't deny it, and said firmly: "But don't worry about it, it's nothing serious, just do what you want, even if he can really use the Xilong royal family to stir up some waves, it won't turn the world around, What's more, as far as I know, the Xilong royal family may not be stable now, and may not have the time to take care of their affairs."

Xiao Yi was surprised, "What do you mean?"

In fact, because Concubine Shun is from the royal family of Xilong, when she came to Dongxuan Kingdom, she was accompanied by spies from Dongxuan Kingdom who entered Xilong. If there was any contact, it would have been under control.

"Our eyeliner and intelligence exchanges, now that Emperor Xilong and the young emperor are enthroned, and the regent is in charge. Although many aristocratic families in Xiling are still tied together, but the regent advocates a new policy, there must be a strong conflict. In this part of our palace Concubine Wei Shun represents the powerful Xilong family, and she will inevitably run counter to their regent. The power of the noble family is indeed powerful and terrifying, but as long as their regent succeeds and assists the young emperor to rule successfully, then there will be no chance. What happened to those aristocratic families, naturally there is nothing to do with Concubine Shun."

"It means that it is equivalent to self-defeating. Without the power to rely on, the backrest that was originally thought to be strong will collapse in an instant, right?" Xiao Yi asked after thinking about Qi Yang's words.

Qi Yang nodded, "You're really smart!"

Xiao Yi thought for a while, but still said, "But if they fail to govern and those aristocratic families are not shaken, will it become a trouble for us?"

Qi Yang did not deny Xiao Yi's thoughts, originally he didn't want him to think so much, but since he opened his mouth, it has nothing to do with him, "No problem, even if these things are really like this So what can we do, when the time comes, we will implicate all these things, since they want to carry out the New Deal, then we will give them a hand, and we will reach a cooperation with this Xilong from now on."

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, it is a more in-depth cooperation. In the past, the relationship between the two countries was a marriage, just like Concubine Shun married into the royal family of Dongxuan Kingdom from Xilong Kingdom. What we want is to deepen the cooperation, not just rely on it. This weak in-law relationship." Qi Yang said calmly.

Xiao Yi looked at Qi Yang, and asked softly: "So, are you taking advantage of this now, and going to the next step?"

"Yes." Qi Yang did not hide anything, and said directly: "But there is no rush now, what we need to care about now is our wedding, which involves political affairs of the court, and now Xiao Xu is also waiting for the opportunity, He's not going to act on the cusp of something like this, so there's no rush."

"However, after the turmoil has passed, if they want to make a move, they will be completely under our control, right?" Xiao Yi asked rhetorically.

Qi Yang raised his hand and gently scratched the bridge of Xiao Yi's nose, and replied pamperingly, "Yes!"
