Chapter 290: It's hard to move an inch

Xiao Jianyuan's expression was serious, and he didn't answer Xiao Xirou's words for the first time, after all, if he relented now, this trouble would definitely fall on his head, and even if he wanted to clean it up, there would be no way, so the best way to respond now was to be silent.

But seeing that he lowered his eyes and pondered and did not answer his words, Xiao Xirou, who was bent on using the crown princess to support Ji Qirui, became anxious, and asked urgently, "Father, this matter is easy, right?" After all, according to Xiao Jianyuan's connections over the years, he doesn't even know big families, and it is not easy to find a suitable princess for Ji Qirui.

Finding that he was already cornered, Xiao Jianyuan had no choice but to sigh lightly and replied, "I will pay attention to this matter, but I am not sure that this matter will definitely be handled, if there is no improvement at that time, I hope the queen will not blame."

Of course, he can match Ji Qirui, but whether he can find a suitable one, and what the other party promised is none of his business, who let all the dark waves on the court surging recently, Ji Qirui is already on the cusp, and now many people are afraid to avoid it, how can he still risk his own risk and have something to do with Ji Qirui, isn't it that he jumped into the fire pit and took the initiative to beg to be involved? Look at the book

However, Xiao Xirou didn't hear what Xiao Jianyuan meant, and felt that if this matter was handed over to him, it would definitely be able to be handled, so she said with confidence: "Since this is the case, it will trouble my father. Haven't asked yet, what happened to those ministers? But are they all reliable people? Could someone be doing something in secret, or saying something in front of His Majesty?" If this matter is exposed, then she and Ji Qirui will have no chance to turn over at all, and maybe the position of the queen and the crown prince will not be guaranteed.

Xiao Jianyuan comforted this and said: "Don't worry, the queen mother, this matter will not go wrong, those people are all neutral people in the court who have long intended to join the queen mother and the crown prince, now as long as we give them a little benefit, they will follow them with all their hearts."

Who made Ji Qirui's current position as the crown prince precarious, but he was still retained by the emperor, maybe he could completely turn over. When the time comes, they will reap the benefits from it, won't the fishermen benefit?

So this is a big gamble, although everyone who comes to the party has their own ghosts and is not so loyal to Ji Qirui, they can also gamble for their own future and interests.

At this time, Xiao Xirou was relieved, thinking that she had left the palace for a long time, and if she didn't go back, she would probably be discovered, so she said goodbye to Xiao Jianyuan: "Since these things have been settled, then the palace will go back first, and the palace will wait for the good news from my father, and I hope that my father can pay more attention." I hope my father will take care of everything, and this palace will go back first."

Xiao Jianyuan, who heard that she was finally leaving, finally felt a lot more relaxed, and sighed helplessly after seeing her leave, because he didn't know what to do next, and he didn't know whether he should help Xiao Xirou or not.

Just when he was in a dilemma, the second aunt who had recovered from the fright just now suddenly came, and Xiao Jianyuan was not vigilant when she found out that it was her, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Maybe she was overly frightened because she overheard the sudden encounter with Xiao Xirou, so when she saw Xiao Jianyuan, the second aunt felt aggrieved, but she couldn't say it, who let her eavesdrop on it first.

Finding that the second aunt's expression was wrong, the alert Xiao Jianyuan immediately sensed that the second aunt was hiding something, so he asked, "What is the matter? Even if you say it, it's just that it's hidden like this, and it makes people anxious." In fact, he had already guessed whether it was because of what happened to him at the banquet in the backyard, but he didn't say it, after all, he wanted to hear the second aunt explain it herself.

Although the second aunt was afraid, she was still sober and measured, knowing that if she really said what she did, it would definitely make Xiao Jianyuan doubt and worry about herself, so in the end, she didn't choose to tell the truth of the matter, but just shook her head and replied, "Back to me, there is nothing to do in person, but it is because I didn't rest well today that I will become what I am now."

Since the second aunt didn't want to say it, Xiao Jianyuan couldn't continue to ask, but changed the topic and said, "Recently, I have listened to the teaching in the backyard

Mr. Shu said that Rong'er didn't know what was wrong recently, and suddenly she was absent-minded and had no interest in everything, was she unwell? Or is something wrong? If that's the case, then he won't be able to come to the front yard to study."

Hearing these words, the second aunt immediately came back to her senses, and eagerly waved her hand to deny: "No, no, don't misunderstand. Rong'er is just a little tired recently, and she has nothing else to do, so she can still go to the front yard to study, and she won't delay this matter." She and Xiao Junrong didn't know how long they had worked hard before they could be agreed to come to the front hall to study and get ahead, even if she was the only one who was doing her best, but she still couldn't bear to let this matter fall short, and everything went back to before.

"In this case, you will tell Rong'er when you go back, let him study with peace of mind, and he will be able to do something in the future, which can be regarded as not embarrassing our Xiao family." Because Xiao Xirou has begun to gradually get out of her control, and there is no way to control her for her own use, Xiao Jianyuan felt that it was time to give up on her, so he turned his hope to Xiao Junrong, who was still young, thinking that if Xiao Junrong could get ahead in the future, then the entire Xiao family would be able to follow the glory of the ancestors.

The second aunt didn't expect Xiao Jianyuan to believe in Xiao Junrong so much, so she smiled, forgot about the things just now, and said for Xiao Junrong: "Don't worry, master, Rong'er will definitely live up to the master's hopes, and she will definitely be able to get ahead when the time comes."

"Now that this thing has come to fruition, and there is nothing else to do, I have to do some things, you see." As she spoke, the second aunt got up and saluted respectfully, and turned to leave.

After the second aunt left, Xiao Jianyuan sighed heavily.

Sure enough, under the pull of his banquet, many ministers have begun to put down their powers and do nothing, and want to put pressure on the court, if it is just one person or two people doing this, it is nothing, but nearly half of the people in the court are doing nothing, wanting to use this to put pressure on the emperor and the court, so as to logically achieve the purpose of their consultation.

Above the early dynasty.

The emperor threw a thick pile of folds to the ground, because it was written on it without exception that the matter of the crown prince should be thoroughly investigated, and basically they were all uniting to impeach the emperor This is not right, it is disrespectful to their ministers, so he wants to ask for an explanation from the emperor.

And looking at this clear rhetoric, the emperor immediately guessed that someone was doing something behind his back, otherwise he would not have let so many ministers do this, so he pointed to everyone's nose and asked, "There are so many of you who want to unite to stop me, but do you know what the truth of the matter is? Since I don't know about this, why do I go to great lengths to go to the court to accuse me!"

This also had to make everyone below shudder, knowing that it was their affairs that were exposed, so in order to prevent this matter from being completely related to themselves, some of them walked out of the well and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has another purpose, so we must prepare everything to deal with in advance, so as not to have no way to deal with them when the time comes."

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Ji Qirui, who looked independent in the distance, as if he meant something.

At this time, Ji Changye suddenly came out and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is still far from understanding what is going on, so this matter cannot be resolved, and it needs to be investigated more carefully."

Everyone was shocked to be able to see Ji Changye in the court, even the emperor didn't expect it, after all, he had been angry with these protesting ministers since the last dynasty just now, and he hadn't noticed that Ji Changye had actually come to the early dynasty, which meant that he was ready to return to the court. In this way, when the time comes, the good days of those who show off their might in the court and don't know how to converge will come to an end.

Listening to the discussions around him, Ji Changye didn't care, but dissuaded the emperor again: "Your Majesty, these excerpts are all anonymously reported, even if you want to investigate, you don't have the ability, so the person behind this matter is to make trouble and want to cover up something, otherwise this kind of thing would not have happened suddenly."

Even if there is no evidence to prove who will do this, it is not possible to expose their plans now, so that they can deal with it when the time comes, so that they can make an example of the monkey

What he did was wasted.

The emperor finally calmed down a lot after listening to Ji Changye's words, looked at the folds scattered on the ground, and said to these ministers in the court who were familiar and unfamiliar to him: "What the regent said is very reasonable, I will investigate this matter carefully by the three of us, and when the time comes, no one who is involved in this matter will be able to escape."

As soon as these words came out, it made those who were secretly *** faintly afraid, after all, Xiao Jianyuan said it well, there will be no accidents in this business, but now it has provoked a thorough investigation by His Majesty, can it still make people believe that nothing will happen.

At this time, Xiao Jianyuan, who had been silent all along, raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on Ji Changye who was not far away, flashing a little jealousy and displeasure, because he didn't think that Ji Changye would come out to intervene in this matter. Otherwise, his plan would have been a success.

After retiring from the early dynasty, the emperor let Ji Changye come to the study.

"I really didn't expect that they are now more and more bold to do such an impulsive thing, so I guessed that someone must be behind the scenes, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a fuss with confidence." The Emperor sighed heavily at the mention of this, because it was he and the entire court that suffered in the end of their intrigues.

Listening to the emperor's words, Ji Changye comforted and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there will definitely be a good way to deal with this matter. You still don't want to be hurt by such a small thing, what should you do if you hurt your body?" Now he suddenly guessed that the mastermind behind all this might be Ji Qirui, otherwise why only the princelings had no movement in this farce, which was really surprising, and he felt that this matter was not simple.

Listening to Ji Changye's words, the emperor nodded: "I'm so irritable, you don't know how difficult my days are."
