Ye Qiu saw that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was smearing General Li all the time, and he kept his face calm and did not speak, Prime Minister Xiao thought that his words had played a role, and a ray of light flashed in his old eyes.

"Anything else?"

"Your Majesty?" Prime Minister Xiao couldn't believe it, after listening to his words, the emperor didn't reprimand Li Jiajun?

Since ancient times, Wenchen and military generals have not dealt with each other, and the Li family is the prince's foreign family, and the Xiao family, the foreign family of the three princes who have a bad idea of the prince's position, naturally looks at the Li family even more, and suppresses the Li family all the time.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng thought that his words were not expressed properly, and continued to slander: "Your Majesty, this Li family holds its own military power and fights privately, does he take you, the emperor, in his eyes!" Such a rebellious thief, the old minister implored His Majesty to punish him heavily. As he spoke, he fell to his knees again.

Ye Qiu saw his trembling body, smiled sarcastically, and didn't tell him to get up: "I see that there is no problem with this performance, the Huns have all been killed in front of the gate, how can you not fight back?" As for the battle that followed, it is only right to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, do you have to wait for me to issue an order? Thousands of miles away, what losses will be caused by the time is not worth the loss, the prime minister is also two generations of old ministers, why don't you understand this truth? ”

Ye Qiu's tone was unceremoniously, his appearance of not being angry and arrogant was heavier than when he was angry in the past, and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng knelt at the bottom, and there was a trace of panic in his heart.

Ye Qiu looked at his trembling appearance, and said softly: "Xiao Shunzi, help my grandfather to sit down, I forgot, my grandfather is old, and he is not as healthy as before." ”

"Wow!"

Hearing Ye Qiu call him grandfather, and ask his close chamberlain to help him, Prime Minister Xiao's face looked better, but he was still dissatisfied with the Li family's disposition, but now he didn't dare to refute his grandson.

"Your Majesty, now that the court's condemnation of the Li family is becoming more and more intense, what do you think should be done?" He can't say it, naturally someone will.

"You are the prime minister, how can they not understand the truth you all understand?" Ye Qiu looked at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng with a look of trust, "In the past, I was the most satisfied with my grandfather's affairs, you can reason with those ministers when you go back, I believe they will all listen to you." ”

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's body stiffened when he heard this, he didn't expect the emperor to use these words to prevaricate him, or did he say that the emperor was implying that his power was too heavy? The more he thought about it, the more Prime Minister Xiao Cheng felt that Ye Qiu had something to say.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng thought about this, and knelt down tremblingly: "The old minister is frightened, the courtiers have different thoughts, how can the old minister persuade them one by one?" ”

"Whoa! Here's what's going on. Ye Qiu looked at Father-in-law Shun, and Gonggong Shun helped Prime Minister Xiao Cheng to the seat again, and he continued: "Grandpa is humble, I believe in you the most, okay, it's not a big deal, if Grandpa still says that this thing can't be done, I really have to wonder if Grandpa is going to let Xian." ”

Ye Qiu said this with a smile, but Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was scared into a cold sweat, he quickly recalled the recent incident at the moment, could it really be that something happened that he didn't know?

However, at this time, he did not dare to refrain from Ye Qiu's request: "The old minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations, and tomorrow the old minister will explain it clearly to the courtiers who have jointly signed the fold." ”

Ye Qiu smiled heartily: "I know that my grandfather is the most popular." ”

Looking at the back of the prime minister's retirement, Ye Qiu sneered, he was really glad that it was time for him to come back, at this time he had just succeeded to the throne for a year, and the Xiao family was not as powerful as it would be in the future.

If Prime Minister Xiao Cheng knows the times, it's okay to tell the old, but if he doesn't know the times, even if the queen mother and the three princes are there, they can't be saved.

Out of the palace gate, Xiao Boran immediately sent someone to call his second son back to discuss important matters, Xiao Qi was dusty, and he didn't even change the official mansion.

"Father, what's the matter?"

"Send your daughter-in-law into the palace to greet the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine Niangniang, and ask what has happened in the harem recently?"

"Didn't my father go to see the Holy One today? But what happened? Xiao Qi looked nervous.

Xiao Boran squinted his sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "Today, I wanted to use the excuse of the Li family to fight the Li family privately, but I didn't expect the emperor to defend the Li family for the first time, and let me appease the other courtiers who were also on the fold, how can I not think about it?" Moreover, today, the emperor actually knelt down three times. ”

Xiao Qi was a little disapproving: "Father, are you thinking too much, the Huns are coming, it's not normal for the Li family to fight, as for letting you kneel, Your Majesty may be careless, Your Majesty has always treated our Xiao family preferentially, what are you worried about?" ”

Listening to his second son's words, Xiao Boran was a little angry, he was angry that his son didn't have a long brain, if his eldest son was by his side, where did he have to think so much? Thinking of his eldest son, Hubu Shangshu recently intends to return to his hometown, and it is time to transfer his eldest son back to the capital.

Xiao Boran turned his head, feeling that he had just had a brain pump, what was he crazy about calling his second son back to discuss these things?

"Okay, you go back to your own business, and let your daughter-in-law remember to enter the palace to say goodbye." Xiao Boran said impatiently, Xiao Qi looked inexplicable, turned around and went back to the Ministry of Rites.

On the second day, in the Great Dynasty, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng really did things neatly, and no one mentioned the matter of the Li family's war without a will, but it was the matter of folding the bones of the beggar on the head of the household that made Ye Qiu think a lot.

In his previous life, this incident also happened at this time, and the head of the household department returned to his hometown, he listened to the advice of the prime minister, transferred the released Xiao Fu back to the capital, and made up for the errand of the household department.

Hubu Shangshu is indeed old, and there are many times when he is not energetic, but Xiao Fu must not be able to take this position again.

"Lord Shangshu stays, and the emperor summons you to meet you in the imperial study." Father-in-law Shun stopped the footsteps of Hubu Shangshu out of the palace, Xiao Cheng saw it, and he didn't care, although the emperor just retired the fold of the beggar bones of Hubu Shangshu in the court, but this is a custom, and it is also a face to sell the old minister, and at this time he is summoned to see him, which is just to appease as usual.

He didn't know that what Ye Qiu was asking about at this time was the position of the head of the household department that he cared about the most at this time.

"Please ask Liu Shangshu to come over, and also ask Liu Shangshu who will be the candidate after returning to his hometown?"

Liu Shangshu thought that Ye Qiu had already made arrangements in his heart, but when Ye Qiu asked like this, he also answered according to his own wishes.

"As the saying goes, the virtuous do not avoid relatives, and the old minister does have a candidate in his heart, but he has a little relationship with the old minister."

"Oh? Who is it? Ye Qiu's tone didn't look angry, and Liu Shangshu said bluntly, "This person is Lao Chen's student, Zhang Zuo Shilang." ”
