"Master Yang, in just a few days, dozens of officials, large and small, in the imperial court have been imprisoned in the sky prison."
"Furthermore, His Majesty has also issued an order to allow officials from various provinces on the criminal list to come to Kyoto during the Moon Worship Festival."
"In this case, these officials will most likely be held accountable. They are all pawns you have trained for many years. Are you just going to watch and do nothing?"
In the past few days, Yang Wenyuan has been staying in the mansion behind closed doors. It was not until this evening that he summoned many close ministers.
As soon as he sat down, Li Shouting began to ask questions impatiently.
Yang Wenyuan's expression did not change at all, and he was still drinking tea leisurely. Everyone watching was filled with anxiety.
He didn't speak until the tea cup was put down.
"Do you think I don't want to save them? Nowadays, the emperor is determined to punish these people. Can't you see why?"
Several people glanced at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
"The emperor is using this matter to wake us up. You know, although we are not involved in this matter."
"However, the appointments and promotions of these officials are all recommended by us. We are lucky that we have not been charged with a single oversight or even more crimes. If we want to have a hand in it, do we have the brains to do it?" Is there water?"
Only then did a few people react and admire Yang Wenyuan's thoughtfulness.
"As for what other officials think, you don't need to worry."
"You can all blame the Duan family for this matter. It was the Duan family who brought this matter to the sky. We have done everything we should do."
"By the way, you can also bring the prince with you. If he hadn't added fuel to the flames, the emperor would not have made such a decision. In this case, other officials would put all their resentment on the Duan family and the prince."
Hearing this, Jia Siming was the first to hand over her hand.
"The Prime Minister is wise!"
Yang Wenyuan looked at him with half-closed eyes.
"Your son is out already, right?"
Speaking of this, Jia Siming's face suddenly showed shame.
"Just this morning, he came out. Moreover, the promise to the prince has been approved by the emperor."
Yang Wenyuan snorted coldly.
"You guys, please be careful in the future. Besides yourselves, take care of your family members. Don't let Liu Qi catch you again."
"Jia Siming, just take this as a lesson, so you can take care of yourself in the future."
Jasmine nodded her head one after another.
"Your Majesty will definitely pay attention."
His behavior in the court that day could be considered a kind of betrayal.
But not only did Yang Wenyuan not accuse him, he actually said he understood and asked him to just follow the agreement with the prince.
At this time, listening to Yang Wenyuan's accusations, no one dared to refute him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Wenyuan's eyes fell on Yang Zhu.
"I have already solved your matter."
"At the cusp of the storm, you actually did business with foreign tribes. You will use your brain to do things in the future. That is to say, Liu Qi is worried about not wanting to break up with us. If you really tell the matter that day, how do you think the emperor will deal with it?"
Although his tail had been cut off by Yang Wenyuan, Yang Zhu could not help but feel chills all over when he thought of the consequences of this incident.
"Prime Minister, I...I will pay attention to it in the future."
Yang Wenyuan snorted lightly and ignored him. Just as he was about to pick up the tea cup, Li Shouting spoke again.
"Sir, all the troubles are caused by the prince. Now he has more military power. If this continues, I'm afraid he will threaten us even more in the future!"
Yang Wenyuan held the tea cup and placed it on his lap.
"Don't be anxious. As the saying goes, when the moon is full and the water is full, it will overflow. Let him be arrogant for a while. When he goes out for the expedition, it will not be too late for us to take action."
"Pei Yan!"
Hearing Yang Wenyuan's call, an attendant with a sword came in from outside the hall.
"What has the prince done in recent days? Tell me all about it to the ministers."
"It is reported that in addition to the Duan family, they went to Nanying once and met with General Han Zhong and General Bai Qi. In addition, just today, they also went to Chen Mansion and went to Sanmen Bridge with Princess Jiaoyuan. Play nearby.”
Hearing this, Jasmine frowned slightly.
"Could it be that the prince wants to have a good relationship with Princess Qingyang?"
Several other adults nodded in agreement, having the same idea.
Li Shouting sneered.
"I don't think so. The prince is doing this just to confront the eldest prince. It does not pose any threat to us."
"Yes, Princess Qingyang has always been displeased with Liu Qi. She thought she was going to marry Chen Yuan to the eldest prince. She was afraid that there would be a chance that the eldest prince would ascend to power, so she was anxious, so she wanted to please Princess Qingyang."
Yang Wenyuan nodded.
"What the ministers said is right, I think so too."
But at this time, Jia Siming sighed softly.
"Oh, it's a pity that the eldest prince and I don't agree, otherwise he would be the best candidate for the prince."
Li Shouting immediately agreed.
"Yes, the fourth prince Liu Yin is the only one who still has some hope. However, this son's brain is not very good. Those remarks in the court are really shocking."
Yang Wenyuan suddenly laughed.
"Why, don't you still want a prince as smart as Liu Qi?"
"Jasmine."
"It's time to find a chance to walk around more with the Fourth Prince."
Jia Siming knew that this was Yang Wenyuan, giving him another chance to make up for his mistakes.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will certainly live up to my expectations."
"Also, because of the events of the past few days and the court meeting, the emperor is in a bad mood. You guys, please stop throwing these annoying memorials in front of His Majesty. Do you understand?"
Speaking of Emperor Qing, he was standing outside the door of Shengning Palace. After thinking for a while, he finally opened the door and walked in.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Su Ji was very happy to see Emperor Qing appear.
"I'm just going to change clothes."
Emperor Qing waved his hand.
"No need, I'm tired today and happened to pass by you, so I came over to see you."
With that said, he walked towards the bed curtains.
No matter how stupid Su Ji was, she understood what Emperor Qing wanted. She hurried over to serve him and took off Emperor Qing's shoes to the ground.
As soon as he stood up, Emperor Qing hugged him into his arms.
However, Emperor Qing was not in a hurry to do anything, but casually chatted with Su Ji.
As they talked, the topic turned to Liu Xuan.
"My beloved concubine."
"I am listening."
"I'm just saying what if, what if, I didn't abolish Xuan'er's crown prince position at that time, and let him continue to be the crown prince."
"One day, if Liu Xuan ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, and the other princes disagree with him, how will you, as the queen, deal with it?"
