"That's it, as long as Xiao Yubei doesn't go crazy and catches me and bites, this official can endure it. ”

Shangguan Xun sighed, only shook his head secretly, he saw that Xiao Yubei would not let himself go so easily, after all, looking at it, except for the crown prince, the entire imperial court is still young and the official position is extremely high.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and both of them want to be the one who ends up staying on the 'mountain'.

And Shangguan Xun's thoughts do coincide with Xiao Yubei, the so-called person who knows you best is your enemy, this sentence is really good.

Xiao Yubei really wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Shangguan Xun completely, although he was now much higher than Shangguan Xun, but things had to be prevented before they happened.

This Shangguan Xun was able to come out of nowhere and take away part of his credit, and maybe he can after that.

In addition, this person was ruthless and murdered his henchmen, causing him heavy losses... Although Xiao Yubei didn't fully believe in Nightmare's words, the target she guided was exactly the person she wanted to deal with, so Xiao Yubei also pushed the boat down the river and put everything on Shangguan Xun.

Next, Xiao Yubei dealt with Shangguan Xun without mercy, and suppressed this person almost everywhere.

He went all the way to Qingyun, and on the contrary, Shangguan Xun, as the main opponent, was extremely miserable, and was even framed by Xiao Yubei, and was demoted from a fourth-rank official to a sixth-grade official.

And then what made people even more embarrassed was that Xiao Wuhou Xiao, the head of the Xiao family, finally couldn't bear the injuries and died.

At first, everyone had the idea of watching the Xiao family's internal strife and battle for the title, but after the funeral of the head of the Xiao family, the Xiao family, which should have been turbulent, was peaceful.

This is strange, the Xiao family has two sons-in-law and three daughters-in-law, although Xiao Ruyun, the son of the Xiao family, has nothing to do, and the second son is wandering outside, but in the end, the person in charge of the Xiao family can't take the turn of the third son of the Xiao family.

He already has a position in the court, not to mention that the emperor gave him a special mansion a few days ago, Xiao Yubei can stand on his own, and it should be the eldest son in power.

Everyone watching the play was puzzled, but they didn't know that the Xiao family had surrendered to Xiao Yubei earlier, and when Xiao Wuhou stole the dragon and turned the phoenix from the previous dynasty that should have died, rescued Xiao Yubei, and asked him to change his name and surname to become Xiao Yubei, the entire Xiao family had already rebelled.

Now, no matter what the Xiao family thinks, they surrender to and can only surrender to Xiao Yubei.

Confessing to Xiao Yubei can't be regarded as making up for it, because their Xiao family has bullied the monarch and raised a prince of remnants!

Xiao Ruyu knows these truths, so he can only obey Xiao Yubei, if he can achieve great things, the Xiao family will naturally rise, but if it fails...... Looking at the elegant nine-turn roundabout bridge of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Ruyu was silent, not to mention whether the prosperous Hou Mansion could be saved, the lives of more than a hundred people in the entire Xiao family were uncertain.

And he wanted to withdraw from this dispute, but there was no way back, so he could only gamble with his life.

Thinking of the mysterious and unpredictable woman before, Xiao Ruyu's eyes trembled slightly, this person seems to know everything, so will she know Xiao Yubei's actions this time?

"My lord, the slave found this in your bedroom. The little maid presented the oiled paper bag in her hand with both hands.

Xiao Ruyu raised his eyebrows, took the oil paper bag that was in a ball and unfolded it, and then paused slightly, and glanced at the little maid casually: "You go down first, remove the charcoal fire in the house, outside... The sun is out. ”

"Wow. ”

The first rays of winter shine on the earth, condensing the ice on the pillars of the Nine Turns Corridor into frost, and the frozen small lotus pond seems to faintly hear the sound of the ice breaking.

Xiao Ruyu walked through the corridor and threw the paper in his hand into the melted river, and the river slowly swallowed up the handwriting on the paper, which read:

- Do you want to keep the Xiao family? Cooperate with Xiao Yubei to take power, and inform me of the movements.

......

In this way, under Xiao Ruyu's acquiescence, Xiao Yubei, the concubine, is in charge of the Xiao family, and even the emperor is already considering whether to let his son inherit his father's business and take the throne.

But the emperor did not immediately ask Xiao Yubei to get his wish and sit in the position of the Marquis of Zhongwu, after all, if he promoted this person too much, it would definitely displease other officials and ministers, and the emperor also needed to test Xiao Yubei's ability.

Xiao Yubei naturally sees everything clearly, now that spring is coming, the emperor is about to release the list and choose the champion, and there are many people secretly competing at this juncture.

There are also many officials who quietly curry favor with him, delusionally thinking that he will say a few good words for their children and grandchildren in front of the emperor, if he can attract the emperor's attention and make the list, it will be a beautiful thing.

Xiao Yubei thought about it for a while, and then directly ignored the things outside the window, and refused these gifts under various excuses, now that the emperor is the time to take the school exam, how could he expose such a flaw.

Of course, he also understands that in addition to showing honesty and integrity, he must make a career in the near future to let the emperor see his ability.

And the thing that can show his ability nearby, isn't it the assassination of the Prime Minister?

The prime minister of a dignified country was assassinated, and the murderer has not been found so far, and the previous matter between Lin Yunmeng and the head of the Xiao family was as fruitless, and the people of the governor's yamen were severely reprimanded by the emperor.

let Jin Yiwei take over the matter, and Xiao Yubei also happened to want to have a good relationship with Jin Yiwei.

Lin Yunmeng provided evidence in this matter, and the spearhead was directly pointed at the Yu family of the Zhongwen Marquis Mansion.

In the splendid and solemn Jinluan Palace, when the head of the Yu family heard Xiao Yubei mention the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was involved by the way, and immediately knelt on the ground in fright.

"Your Majesty has clearly investigated! How dare the old minister be so bold and murder the Prime Minister!"

The emperor on the throne raised his eyebrows slightly, and the falling pearls covered his face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Xiao Yubei glanced at this person, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, he deserved to be the Zhongwen Marquis of the officialdom for a long time, this scene was so realistic.

"Xiao Aiqing, since you said that, there must be some reason and what the basis is, right? Submit it, let me see what the truth of the matter is. The emperor's gaze swept over everyone present, like a gust of wind with a hint of sword and sword shadow, making everyone feel at risk.

Xiao Yubei lifted the hem of his clothes and saluted respectfully: "Back to the emperor, yesterday the subordinates around Zhongwenhou abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, regretted and changed, but they suffered from the emperor of Cambodia, you will be intercepted by Zhongwenhou, so he submitted a letter to the minister about his bribery of the prime minister's house!"

After that, the Praetorian Guards asked the emperor for his life, and the emperor nodded.

After a while, someone escorted a middle-aged man in, and as soon as he entered the hall, he knelt on the ground and crawled to Xiao Yubei's side, looking repentant.

"Qi, Qi, Emperor! The slave has evidence, this is the evidence!"
