Your Highness, Jiangshan hires you

Chapter 061

Concubine Liu Gui listened to the Queen's words, she had her own calculations in her mind, as far as the Queen said, there is no deviation in these things, who is Ming Che, he can take Xiao Luo away, and then stay out of it at this time, no doubt It is that he has full confidence in the current Xiao Luo.

In the current situation, it seems that they have uncovered the affairs of the officials, and the connection between the prince and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has completely failed, causing the prince and the others to suffer heavy losses. However, the loss of the prince's side is not their benefit. , the ultimate beneficiary of this matter is Xiao Luo.

Empress Zhang stared at Concubine Liu Gui. Seeing her pondering and unsure, she said, "Such a matter must be carefully weighed. I suddenly brought it up. There must be a consideration. However, if we want to start as soon as possible, Then you have to dare to confirm it before Xiao Luo arrives in the imperial capital."

At this time, Concubine Liu Gui came back to her senses, looked at Empress Zhang, and responded: "What the empress said is true, this matter really needs to be considered, and a decision must be made as soon as possible, but the empress should also know, The harem is not allowed to engage in government affairs, the empress is just like the concubines, she is in the deep palace, although the position is very honorable, but outside affairs must be handled by outsiders, otherwise, accidents will happen."

"nature."

The moment the words came to a close, Concubine Liu Gui blessed the person in front of her, and said: "Empress Empress, that concubine will leave first."

Queen Zhang just nodded.

The personal maid standing beside the empress saw that Concubine Liu Gui had left the palace, and said softly, "Your Majesty, this concubine has not given you a definite reply, so what should we do with His Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister?" answer?"

"No need to answer, soon, there will be results."

"?" The maid was a little confused, "Your Majesty, what you mean is that the imperial concubine has actually agreed, and will tell His Highness the Second Prince all that you told me later, and they will meet outside. ?”

"Concubine Liu Gui is right. The harem is not allowed to be involved in politics. Even if I am the empress, she is the emperor's favorite concubine. She can understand these things and even pass on some news in private. Those who come up, be it my palace or her Concubine Liu Gui, can't interfere."

The maid nodded, and stood quietly by the side, and said no more.

……

The palace, the imperial study.

Eunuch Sun handed a copy of the latest news to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is a new message from the dark net, please have a look at it."

Xiao Mingyuan easily opened the secret letter and looked it up, "The crown prince and the second child want to join forces to deal with Xiao Luo temporarily, you say, how much Ming Che knows about this matter, and how sure is he? If he doesn't intervene, guarantee Is Xiao Luo safe and sound?"

When Eunuch Sun heard this, he was a little surprised, "His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Second Prince are at odds with each other in the court. They have been facing each other for the past few years. They suddenly join forces. The servant always feels that such a combination will be too unreliable. ?”

"Do you think it's because they don't have a good relationship, or do you think that even if they join forces, they won't be the current Xiao Luo's opponent."

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Sun was taken aback for a moment, and then explained: "The servant is just..."

"Okay, you don't need to explain, maybe, it's really as you think, Ming Che is definitely not someone who can be viewed with ordinary eyes, his approval of Xiao Luo is very certain, do you think the crown prince and the second child can Lianhe, such a situation, Ming Che would not have thought of it in advance."

Eunuch Sun was even more worried now, "Your Majesty, if this is really the case, wouldn't it be under the control of His Highness Ninth Prince that His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Prince will be completely disintegrated."

"Ming Che, he is really an incredible existence. His appearance at the beginning made my throne crumbling and unstable, and it was as stable as a mountain. Existence, but let the Liuyun Dynasty, the country be strong, he made another move and chose Xiao Luo, how could his vision be bad, it's just that we can only see the surface roughly, no one can see through the real situation."

"It's not because of the emperor, His Highness the Ninth Prince... With the existence of King Ding, it is very difficult for people in the world to find another person." Eunuch Sun said slowly.

"Let's see, these disputes will eventually come to an end." Xiao Mingyuan said in a concentrated voice: "Judging from the speed at which Xiao Luo and the others return to the imperial capital, they should arrive at the imperial capital tomorrow."

Eunuch Sun nodded, "Yes."

"When this matter is over, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs should also be replaced. Among the six departments, these two are very important. They used to be controlled by the prime minister's direct line. In the court, there are two major foreign relatives. Xiu, the second is Liu Shuo, at the beginning, the crown prince and the second child made a choice, no matter who it is in the end, the two forces will have to deal with it accordingly, but I never thought that things would go the other way."

After Xiao Mingyuan finished speaking, he put the secret letter in his hand directly on the candlelight and burned it.

……

In the imperial capital, under the darkness of night, in a hidden garden on the outskirts of the city.

"I thought the second brother wouldn't come."

Xiao Cheng walked into the room and saw the person sitting in front of him, "The prince doesn't want me to come."

Xiao Luan smiled clearly, "Of course I hope you come. If you want to come, since you have come here, everything here is already clear, so I don't need to say more."

"The matter is indeed clear, and it is true that there is no need to say too much, but, for the people sent by the prince to attack Xiao Luo, but Xiao Luo solved it with his own strength, we have some guesses, but we did not see it with our own eyes, so we still A little suspicious."

"This kind of thing, at this time, do you think it is necessary for me to lie with these?" Xiao Luan continued: "We might as well open the skylight and speak honestly. Before, everything was on you and me. The contest, no matter what, only falls on us, and Xiao Luo's appearance breaks this. However, I am the crown prince and the heir apparent, and my identity occupies an absolute advantage. No matter how many people come out to participate in this succession The disputes will only come to me after you have a good fight between you. If Xiao Luo is not unusual here, why do you think I need to discuss with you? The reason why you came is not because you know Xiao Luo can't handle it easily."

Xiao Cheng did not deny Xiao Luan's directness, and said with a smile: "What the prince said is true, the current Xiao Luo is indeed not the inconspicuous Xiao Luo back then, so, the prince found me, and wants to marry me Join forces to deal with it, why, the prince is thinking, before Xiao Luo enters the imperial city tonight, he is sending a wave of killers to deal with it?"

"This is definitely not possible. There have already been losses, and there is no absolute certainty that they can be killed with one blow. Such behavior is not advisable. The most important thing right now is in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households. Back then, the second brother dug out Those things were just to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with me, weaken the power in my hands, and then find an opportunity to install my own people to intervene in the power of the Six Departments. Unfortunately, this thing has helped others."

"You sent someone to target Qin Hong, my subordinate, because you wanted to intervene in the military power, but in the end, you didn't get any benefits. If you really want to talk about it, the person who fell into the situation set up by others first was You, prince."

"We don't need to have these unnecessary disputes anymore. What we need to do now is to determine the next ownership of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"The prince is planning to let the situation out, let me nominate someone to go up without arguing?"

"This matter requires us to join hands. If we blindly recommend our own people to go up, father will definitely not be happy. Why don't we take a step back and carefully select more suitable people."

"You don't want to recommend our own people, but choose people from people who don't belong to us. As long as the people succeed in the position, they can still be used by us."

Xiao Luan said with a smile: "Second brother can tell at one point. Talking to someone like the second brother saves effort. As long as Xiao Luo is not allowed to take advantage of the opportunity to control the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, I can take a step back, and the two of us will each have a share. one serving."

"The prince makes such a decision, will the prime minister agree?"

"What we have to do now is to make Xiao Luo have no place to stand in the court. The second younger brother won't really want him to stand up smoothly and compete with us as the Ninth Prince."

"Okay, I agree to this matter, and I will go to the screening as soon as possible."

"It's one thing, but there's another thing we have to deploy."

Xiao Cheng looked at Xiao Luan, "What?"

"You said, since father asked Xiao Luo to take care of the affairs of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, it is equivalent to announcing to everyone that Xiao Luo's qualifications, the palace will not intervene in the court situation, do you think Xiao Luo returned to the court?" In the imperial capital, should we continue to stay in Prince Ding's mansion and pretend to be Princess Ding, or should we move out and build another mansion and pretend to be the Ninth Prince?"

"The crown prince wants to take this opportunity to let Xiao Luo completely draw a line with Ding Wangfu." Xiao Cheng said in agreement: "You are right about this matter. Tomorrow, Xiao Luo will return to the imperial city. Everything has to be presented to the father. As long as the crown prince proposes to the father, then I will naturally support and cooperate in this matter. If you do this, then I won't come here to look for the prince tonight. We have been arguing for so many years, and we have spent countless efforts. How could it be possible to cheapen a son of a palace maid for nothing? It’s just a reversal of the humbleness of the past.”

"What you said is that if it wasn't for King Ding, Xiao Luo would have been forgotten in the back alleys of the palace. He is attached to King Ding, and now we have to let him cut off this layer of attachment. The agreement between Emperor Father and King Ding, We will not reject this proposal, when Xiao Luo is completely settled, we will each compete according to our own abilities, before that, how can we let a son of a maidservant step on our heads." Xiao Luan said firmly with.

"Exactly!"
