"Prime Minister Xiao is at home, and I'm having a good time."

Before Xiao Daoling and Xiao Longbow had time to greet Xu Jing, Xu Jing had already entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, as if he had entered a no-man's land.

Standing in the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Jing sneered in his heart.

Most of the furnishings in this prime minister's mansion are better than those in the back garden of the palace.

Recently, the strange stones of Mount Tai, which are loved by high-ranking officials all over the world, have more than ten pieces placed around the garden.

You must know that a strange stone weighs hundreds of catties, and it takes no less than 10,000 taels to transport it from the top of Mount Tai to the capital thousands of miles away!

Not to mention, there are more than ten pieces in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is more than 100,000 taels of silver!

This amount of silver is enough to allow tens of thousands of displaced people to recuperate and restore their homes.

But when the money fell into the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was just to add some treasures.

"Chen Xiao Daoling, please see Your Majesty!"

Xiao Daoling walked out of the study quickly with a long bow and saluted Xu Jing.

"Prime Minister Xiao doesn't have to make this big gift."

Xu Jing waved his hand and replied with a light smile.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jing pointed to the largest Taishan strange stone and asked lightly: "This is the Taishan strange stone?" I heard that this material is extremely difficult to transport, and the process is extremely expensive. One of them is not very fatal. Unexpectedly, there are more than ten pieces in the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Xu Jing named and said the origin of this thing, even Xiao Daoling's eyes also showed a trace of gloom and uneasiness.

"How? That Mount Tai is more than 3,000 miles away from the capital, even if the minister has this heart, he does not have such wealth. ”

"It's just an ordinary stone looted from near Gyeonggi, and it's not worth a lot of money at all."

Xiao Daoling forcibly suppressed the killing intent towards Xu Jing in his heart, and replied with a smile.

"I see, it seems that I have misunderstood the prime minister, so I said, how can the prime minister be so generous with such an incorruptibility?"

Xu Jing also did not find out the truth of this, and accompanied Xiao Daoling to act together.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why you came here this time?"

Xiao Daoling greeted Xu Jing and walked into the front hall and asked.

"It's nothing, isn't this that the prime minister hasn't been involved in state affairs for a long time? I'm here to offer my condolences. ”

Xu Jing took a sip of tea, frowned, and said lightly.

"I see, since I promised His Majesty to hand over power, the minister has indeed not been in contact with government affairs for a long time. This is thanks to Your Majesty, if it weren't for Your Majesty, the minister would not have such leisure time. ”

Xiao Daoling laughed and thanked Xu Jing.

"The prime minister is old, so he naturally needs to rest more."

Xu Jing also laughed.

But between the two laughing, they looked at each other with murderous intent in their eyes.

Both sides are eager to get rid of the person in front of them as quickly as possible.

"By the way, I have come here to discuss with the Prime Minister. After all, this matter involves the prime minister's family affairs. ”

After laughing, Xu Jing gathered his thoughts, stared at Xiao Daoling with an expressionless face and said word by word.

"Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Xiao Daoling knew that what Xu Jing said next was the point.

"Last night, I found a concubine in the harem who intended to murder me. She is the daughter of the Prime Minister. ”

Xu Jing said lightly, but Xiao Daoling's heart suddenly rose: "Concubine Xiao intends to murder Your Majesty?" This is impossible! Concubine Xiao has never had an heir in the palace, and there is absolutely no conflict of interest with His Majesty, how could she suddenly kill you? ”

"I'm still investigating this matter. Of course, Concubine Xiao has already surrendered. As for the queen, her shield Concubine Xiao has placed her under house arrest in the harem. ”

Xu Jing said lightly.

The hatred in Xiao Daoling's heart was infinitely magnified, but he still had to pretend not to care in front of Xu Jing: "Since it involves Your Majesty, this matter will naturally be handled by Your Majesty." If my two unfilial daughters are related to this matter, Your Majesty categorically does not need to take care of the face of my Xiao Mansion. ”

In fact, Xiao Daoling's heart ached.

What hurt him was not the death of Concubine Xiao, nor the pain of the queen being placed under house arrest and being sent to the cold palace.

Instead, he was heartbroken that he had arranged for decades to send his two daughters into the palace to manipulate the harem and then control the previous dynasty.

As for Concubine Xiao and Xiao Hanshuang? It's just two daughters, and if they die, they will die, so there's no need to worry about it at all.

"I see, I thought the prime minister would not accept it. Now it seems that the prime minister understands the righteousness. ”

"In that case, I still have something I want the Prime Minister to help with."

Xu Jing chuckled, and then looked at Xiao Daoling.

"Your Majesty, but it doesn't matter, as long as the minister can help, he will definitely not refuse."

Xiao Daoling immediately knelt down and replied respectfully.

"It's very simple, Jinyiwei sent it, and the poison handed over to Concubine Xiao came from the Xiao Mansion, and I need the prime minister to hand over this person."

Xu Jing lowered his waist and stared at Xiao Daoling, who was kneeling on the ground, and said word by word.

"Your Majesty is not mistaken? Is there really such a rebellious existence in the Xiao Mansion? ”

The corners of Xiao Daoling's mouth pulled out an extremely reluctant smile, and he couldn't wait to cut Xu Jing with a thousand knives in his heart.

"Jin Yiwei does things, I can still trust it. If the prime minister doesn't know this person, he can leave it to Jinyiwei to do it, how about it? ”

Xu Jing said casually.

Xiao Daoling lowered his head and replied, "It's all up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

Xu Jing nodded with satisfaction, stood up and walked out: "Since there is a prime minister's words, I am very pleased. In that case, I won't bother the prime minister too much. ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Daoling got up and followed, watching Xu Jing get into the chariot and leave.

"Uncle, are we really just watching and letting it go?"

Xiao Longbow cautiously looked at Xiao Daoling in front of him and asked.

He could clearly feel that Xiao Daoling at this moment was a powder keg, and as long as there was a little spark, it would be completely ignited.

"Bastard, damn thing! How dare he! ”

It wasn't until Xu Jingyuan went away that Xiao Daoling's anger completely exploded.

This emperor stepped on his taboo in every word, and did not take him as a prime minister in his eyes at all.

Xiao Daoling shouted while smashing all the porcelain on one side to vent his anger.

The longbow that was watching from the side could only retreat again and again, not daring to speak at all, lest the porcelain would be smashed on him.

"Be fast, you can't give that guy a chance. If you don't have time to send them out of Beijing, kill them all. ”

After Xiao Daoling vented, his mood calmed down a little before he spoke again.

"Understood, I'll arrange it."

The longbow was ordered to leave the front hall without stopping.

"Wait. Go, call the officials above the second grade. ”

Xiao Daoling then added another order.

"Uncle, are you going to return to the court?"

Xiao Longbow was a little pleased, since Xiao Daoling handed over power, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to confront Xu Jing head-on.

Even the Xiao family has suffered a lot in the court.

Now, Xiao Daoling plans to take power again, and Xiao Longbow is naturally very happy.

"It's just a temptation, this trick is not so simple."

Xiao Daoling shook his head and gave an ambiguous answer.
