After Xiao Fu returned home, he quietly cultivated for a few days, and then became active in the upper circle of Jingguan again, and everyone almost acquiesced that he was the next Hubu Shangshu, which was very face-saving.

Eight days later, it was a great dynasty again, and the atmosphere of the entire Xiao family was different, Xiao Boran and Xiao Fu were neatly dressed, and walked out of the door of the Xiao family with high spirits.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

"Ministers, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Zhong Aiqing has something important to do?"

"The minister has his own music." The military department Shangshu stood in the center of the Taihe Hall and handed over the fold, "Due to the prolongation of the war in the north, General Li Xiu asked for 10,000 sets of winter clothes, 10,000 weapons, and 500,000 catties of grain and grass, and the minister implored His Majesty for approval." ”

"The minister objected." Xiao Boran walked to the front and said with a heartbeat, "Three months ago, General Li went to Ludi and Shaanxi to transfer 300,000 catties of grain and grass, and now that the war has subsided, there is no need for supplies at all. ”

"Prime Minister, the Hun army is eyeing the border, how can General Li return to the court?" He had long guessed that today's performance would not be too easy, but he didn't expect that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng would openly slander General Li's loyalty in broad daylight, but it was not a day or two since His Majesty re-Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, and he really didn't know what kind of decision His Majesty would make.

"General Li has a lot of military resources, and the Hun army has not been destroyed for a long time, who knows what his intentions are?" Prime Minister Xiao Cheng said coldly, "Your Majesty, the minister suggested that Your Majesty immediately summon General Li back to Beijing." ”

"Your Majesty, by all means!" The military department Shangshu knelt down with a thud, anxious.

"Okay, this is the Taihe Palace, not a vegetable market." Ye Qiu saw that Xiao Boran still had something to say, and suddenly shouted, and the courtiers all knelt down and shouted in unison, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger." ”

The moment Xiao Boran knelt down, a smile of victory rose at the corner of his mouth, and the body of the military department shook, as if he had been hit.

"Quasi-Yan Shangshu."

Xiao Boran raised his head suddenly, he couldn't believe it! He said that, how could the emperor tolerate Li Xiu continuing to stay in Northern Xinjiang? Got his hands on it?

The secretary of the military department was delighted, and hurriedly said: "General Li on behalf of the minister, thank Your Majesty for your grace." ”

The other courtiers in the court are also looking at me and I look at you, and no one dares to speak out at this time.

"Who else is playing?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one made a sound, Ye Qiu said again: "Xiao Shunzi, proclaim the decree." ”

Everyone's expressions were solemn, knowing that today's highlight was coming, Xiao Boran's face at this time was not ugly, faintly with joy, Xiao Fu, who was standing a little later, nodded to his father secretly, his back straightened up, and no one noticed that Xiao Qi, who was about to stand outside the hall, flashed a trace of darkness in his eyes.

"Jiangxi Governor Xiao Fu received the order."

"The minister takes the order."

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, I only rule the world with literature, fight chaos with force, and since Xiao Fu was appointed governor of Jiangxi, he has been strict and customary, loyal to his thoughts, the pillar of the imperial court, and the dry city of the country.

As soon as the holy decree came out, the entire court was stunned, Xiao Boran and Xiao Fu didn't even come back to their senses, Shun's father-in-law's eyes drooped, and he continued to say loudly: "Lord Xiao, please accept the decree." ”

At this time, there was gradually a whisper, Xiao Fu's whole face was lost, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was rising and descending secretly, although the governor of Jiangxi was a deputy second grade, but he was the governor of a province, and he held real power, and although the cabinet scholar was a second grade, he was doing some things like repairing books and lecturing, although he had the opportunity to be promoted to prime minister, but this meant that his father had to step down, no matter how he said it, the Xiao family was not cost-effective.

What's more, the Xiao family was overjoyed when they saw everyone a few days ago, everyone knew that he was interested in the position of the head of the household, and today's dream has become a conjecture, how can it not be embarrassing? However, at this time, he could not show his dissatisfaction, and he had to kneel down and give thanks.

"Thank you, Lord Ron!"

After Xiao Fu retreated, Gonggong Shun took out another holy decree, and the courtiers were guessing who the saint gave the position of the head of the household book, and he actually surpassed the favor of the Xiao family.

"The head of the household department, Zhanghei, took the order."

Zhang Ping withstood the pressure of everyone, and knelt down with a calm face to accept the order: "The minister accepts the order." ”

"Carried by heaven, restricted by the emperor,...... Today, it is specially sealed as the book of the household department, and it is admirable. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long."

Xiao Boran's anger was almost irrepressible, he had never lost such face since he became prime minister, especially since the person who blocked his plan today was still a little squire he had never looked down on.

At the end of the early dynasty, some people were happy and some were worried, and the people who usually surrounded the Xiao family couldn't wait to stay away from their sight at this time, for fear that the anger would burn on themselves, and Xiao Qi was weirdly aroused a smile, heh, he has always been a smart big brother! Finally planted a heel, he was immersed in the joy of Xiao Fu's frustration at this time, and he didn't think of what Xiao Fu's frustration portended.

In the harem, Ye Qiu hadn't reached the Heart Cultivation Hall yet, but he was stopped by Concubine Xiao in the Imperial Garden.

"The concubines see the emperor." Xiao Rou was dressed in white, with only two pink palace flowers on her head, looking at Ye Qiu weakly, in fact, she was gorgeous, and she was not suitable for such a dress and expression at all, but she came to cry today, so she changed this weird outfit.

"The concubine is flat." Seeing her sad and anxious, Ye Qiu sneered in her heart, her face was calm, "Is there something wrong with Concubine Ai?" ”

"The concubine heard that the emperor made the concubine's father a scholar today......"

Ye Qiu saw that she was hesitant, and asked according to her meaning, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Rou is not a good-tempered person, she was spoiled by her parents when she was in the Xiao family, she entered the palace, and was spoiled by the queen mother and the emperor, she has long developed a rude and willful character, and today she received an order from her grandfather to let her blow the pillow wind, planned for a long time, and turned around in the imperial garden for a long time, she finally couldn't stand it.

"Cousin, I don't like that Zhang Ping, can you kill him and let your father be the head of the household?" Xiao Rou was arrogant, she really didn't understand why her grandfather asked her to be careful and tempted, her cousin spoiled her so much, she would definitely agree with what she said.

Ye Qiu didn't expect Xiao Rou to be so stupid, he frowned and said sharply, "Bold." ”

Xiao Rou still didn't understand, and asked in a daze, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Concubine Xiao Guifei interfered in court affairs, and from now on she will live in Ganquan Palace, and she will not be allowed to leave the palace for half a step without my order."

"Cousin? What are you talking about? You're going to imprison me? Don't expect me to forgive you! Xiao Rou said sharply.

Father-in-law Shun was speechless, could it be that at this moment, the concubine Niangniang hadn't figured out the situation? Yesterday, the Xiao family lost face in the court, and today the concubine was imprisoned, according to him, Xiao can be regarded as hanging in the future.
