He bit the last two words very hard, obviously with the intention of gnashing his teeth.

Cheng Shuiyao couldn't hear the dissatisfaction in his tone, but he didn't take his dissatisfaction to heart at all, took a sip of tea, and looked at the prime minister again, "There is Prime Minister Lao." ”

"Lord Xiao has been injured so seriously, why haven't you seen Mrs. Xiao take care of one or two?"

Cheng Shuiyao, who was called back, looked Cheng Shuiyao up and down, and then asked with a smile.

She is not a fool, she can naturally see that the two people on the other side are playing with their minds, so she found a tricky loophole.

Cheng Shuiyao's fingers holding the cup shrank slightly, and she reacted to this matter instantly.

It stands to reason that she will definitely be very concerned about Xiao Ji's injury, but she didn't remember this matter at all before, and she has done something lacking in this regard.

"My wife is weak, I can't take care of her, so where is her turn to take care of me?" Mo Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Cheng Shuiyao, and then looked thoughtfully at the prime minister's wife, "Could it be that the prime minister goes back after working outside every day, and you take care of him?" ”

These words carried a lot of weight, and the Prime Minister's wife's face turned green in an instant, and she looked away angrily.

Cheng Shuiyao felt relieved when she heard this, and there was a little more praise in her eyes when she looked at Mo Qi.

This was a good answer, not only blocking the question of the prime minister's wife, but also sarcastically saying that she was not favored by the prime minister.

When these words fell, all the ladies present were a little envious, and they all glanced at their faces dissatisfied.

The ministers who were stared at inexplicably were quite helpless, and they really didn't know what to say.

They all have a few concubines more or less, and naturally they don't care so much about the housewife, and they are just some superficial scenes of respect for each other on weekdays, and they can't be so careful as Xiao Ji at all.

Cheng Shuiyao's matter has developed to this situation, and she hurriedly spoke, "The Xiao family has always had a tradition, and my husband should spoil me a little, which makes everyone laugh." ”

Saying this, Cheng Shuiyao reached out and tugged at Mo Qi's sleeve, motioning for him to respond.

If this kind of thing continues, it will pull hatred, and she doesn't want to be targeted by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

Mo Qi raised his eyebrows helplessly, and then nodded and admitted the matter.

"Okay, these things are almost here, let's get back to the topic," the emperor saw that the topic was getting farther and farther, and hurriedly spoke, "You haven't said what you think of this year's palace banquet?" ”

"I think the harvest has not been good recently, and we should reduce extravagance and waste and save food." The official secretary hurriedly spoke, and his words were full of earnestness.

There have been many disasters this year, and the grain in the state treasury is less than 30 percent of that of previous years.

"No!" Hubu Shangshu suddenly jumped out, "The Spring Festival is a major event, not too simple, not to mention that the day when foreign countries visit our dynasty this year is around the Spring Festival, if we don't prepare in advance, we may let the foreign countries despise it." ”

This makes no sense.

Cheng Shuiyao looked at the cheap father in his name and snorted coldly in his heart.

Cheng Yutang is an out-and-out hypocrite, who poisoned her biological mother in order to cling to the powerful, and now he is brazenly disregarding the safety of the people in the world here in order to support the scene.

"The head of the household is wrong, if it is simply to show the strength of our country, it is not necessary to use this method, it is not advisable to work hard and hurt the people!" The official department is still arguing, and it seems that he will not give up a cent.

"The minister thinks that it is better to do it luxuriously," the Ministry of Rites suddenly stood up and said solemnly, "If we show a little fatigue, it is very likely that the foreign nations will not submit to us, and then the border will be disturbed, and we will be in even worse trouble." ”

It's interesting to get to this point.

Cheng Shuiyao narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the ministers arguing quietly.

If nothing else, Cheng Yutang should have defected to the prime minister, and he was in a hurry to curry favor here.

The treasury has reduced its grain stock, and once a war breaks out, the emperor's soldiers and horses will be easily taken down by the other side.

The prime minister really made a good calculation, and he started to arrange it so early.

The three ministers over there became more and more noisy, and there was a faint sense of wanting to do something.

Isn't this level of quarrel really acting?

Cheng Shuiyao gradually came back to her senses, with a little smile in her eyes.

Singing white face and red face on the other, the more fierce the quarrel between the two sides, the more they can reflect their loyalty, and they can also put the emperor in a dilemma.

"Don't make any noise!" The emperor was so troubled by their quarrel that he hurriedly scolded him.

These people are all lip service, and if they talk about hard work, no one can do it.

"Your Majesty, what the three ministers said makes sense, why don't we compromise and take into account their suggestions at the same time?" The prime minister waited until this time to speak unhurriedly, and there was no panic in his tone, and he sounded very calm.

Saying such things at this time is clearly a struggle for power.

Cheng Shuiyao swallowed the coldness in her eyes, tilted her head to look at the ink chess, and wrote a word on the table with water.

What to grab? Of course, it's a power grab!

Mo Qi was surprised, and then raised his head to look at the emperor, "What the prime minister said is not unreasonable, but how to weigh the relationship between the two, you still need to think about it, the minister thinks that the minister can do this." ”

What!

The eyes of the others instantly turned to Mo Qi, as if they didn't expect him to make such a blatant request for power.

"Since Xiao Aiqing is so confident, then this matter will be handed over to you, and you must give me a happy result," the emperor was also a little shocked, but in addition to being shocked, his heart relaxed a little.

He was still worried about whether handing over this right to the prime minister would have an impact on the follow-up matters, but now that Xiao Ji's words came out, the matter was resolved.

"The minister must live up to his mission," Mo Qi gave up his hand, calmly receiving the order, without taking into account the fact that the prime minister wanted to tear his eyes.

This matter was solved, and there was no need to delay the palace banquet any longer, and everyone hurriedly ended all the processes and left here.

"General Xiao is really a good means to open his eyes," the prime minister came over, and he didn't want to act, so he opened his mouth with a smile.

"Serial schemes, double reed plays, the prime minister is not far behind!" Cheng Shuiyao had no scruples at all, and went back sarcastically.

The prime minister's hand was the first to move, why didn't she fight back.

"Master Cheng really raised a good girl!" The prime minister glanced at Cheng Shuiyao, and then raised a smile, "I want to see how long you can be hard-mouthed." ”

"Then let's wait and see," Cheng Shuiyao looked at the prime minister without fear, with a provocative smile on his face.
