"My son is young and energetic. He likes to go to Goulan to listen to music. That's okay."
Yu Jing stood up to smooth things over and said to Gongsun Qing with a smile,
"Young Master, there is no need to be discouraged. Prince You is a grasshopper after the autumn, he will not be able to jump around for long."
"What does Changshi mean by this?"
Gongsun Qing said a little doubtfully.
"Prime Minister Guo has sent a messenger to Luodu overnight to visit Prime Minister Cao."
"What does this matter have to do with King You?"
Gongsun Qing's expression became more and more confused.
"Young master, you don't know. The reason why King You was deposed as the crown prince was ultimately related to Prime Minister Cao."
Yu Jing explained patiently.
"I seem to have heard someone mention that King You offended Prime Minister Cao."
Gongsun Qing frowned slightly.
"What is the inside story of that matter, outsiders have no way of knowing. But what is certain is that there must be a lot of grudges between Prime Minister Cao and King You."
"Otherwise, Prime Minister Cao would not have united with all the civil and military officials to ask Your Majesty to depose King You as the crown prince."
"In this case, if he knew that King You was concentrating on development and management here, how could he sit idly by and do nothing?"
Yu Jing said with a smile.
"I see!"
Gongsun Qing suddenly realized.
Prime Minister Cao wields power in both the government and the public, and responds to every call in the court.
Sometimes even today, I have to listen to his advice.
If he knew that Ji Lie was prospering in Youzhou, he would definitely take action to suppress Ji Lie!
No wonder Yu Jinghui said that Ji Lie is a grasshopper in autumn and can't jump around for long!
"In the next few days, we will just wait patiently for Prime Minister Cao's reply."
"Qing'er, don't go out and cause trouble again to give King You an excuse to take action."
Gongsunhe ordered in a deep voice.
"Children take orders!"
Gongsun Qing nodded, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared.
When Ji Lie is suppressed, the Gongsun family will have the final say in Youzhou!
…
The world respects the right.
The Imperial Palace of Daxia is located in the north of Luodu City, so the east of the city is equivalent to the right.
Most of the residences of civil and military officials and relatives of the emperor are located in the east of the city.
In the large, spectacular and magnificent Luodu City, the messenger sent by Gongsun He crossed the street and hurriedly came to a mansion and stopped.
I saw the door carved from sandalwood, spacious and heavy.
A huge red door plaque hangs above, with the words "Prime Minister's Mansion" written in three large Chinese characters.
On both sides stands a majestic stone lion with a majestic look.
Several other guards with halberds stood guard on both sides of the gate, watching the passers-by vigilantly.
When Gongsunhe's messenger stepped forward and stated his intention, he was called into the Prime Minister's Mansion not long after.
In the spacious and bright lobby, a middle-aged man was sitting.
He has a deep temperament, his temples are frosty white, and his eyes flash from time to time.
Although he was wearing a casual robe, he looked very dignified when he sat there.
He is Cao Da, the highly prestigious Prime Minister of Great Xia who controls the court.
Cao Da put down the letter in his hand and looked at Gongsunhe's messenger expressionlessly.
"Is what Gongsunhe said in the letter true?"
"Reporting to Prime Minister Cao, every word is true! Now King You is in Youdi and he is running rampant and tyrannical. If you don't stop it and it becomes a trend in the future, you will be in trouble."
The messenger looked like he was hesitating to speak.
"Then do you have any evidence?"
Cao Da asked coldly.
"This...not really."
The messenger said honestly.
Whether it was Moutai or recruiting troops, Ji Lie did everything very cleanly and did not let Gongsunhe get a handle on it at all.
"Okay, you go back and tell Gongsun He, just say that the Prime Minister knows about this."
Cao Da waved his hand.
After the messenger left, he touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Cao Da never expected that Ji Lie, the crazy and deposed prince, would become a new person after going to Youdi, and he would thrive.
Even Gongsun He, the Prime Minister of Youdi, couldn't do anything to him.
Could it be that this guy was pretending to be crazy before?
If this is true, this son's city is too deep!
Cao Da had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice,
"Come here, prepare the sedan!"
Not long after, Cao Da arrived in a sedan chair outside the Daxia Palace.
As the prime minister with overall power, he has the power to enter and exit the palace freely.
The guards guarding the palace just checked their identities and quickly let him go!
Weiyang Palace.
It was originally the main hall where the emperor received ministers and handled political affairs, but at this moment, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard.
An extremely noble man wearing a dragon robe was sitting in the hall.
His appearance was very similar to Ji Lie's, except that his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he looked like he was drunk too much.
This person is none other than Ji Lie's cheap father, Ji Hong, the current emperor of Daxia.
Ji Hong drank the wine in his glass while enjoying the dancing of the singers in front of him.
At this moment, a eunuch hurried in and whispered a few words in Ji Hong's ear.
Ji Hong frowned and said reluctantly,
"Everyone stop it!"
As soon as he ordered, the musicians and singers stopped playing.
Cao Da then walked straight in from outside the palace and bowed to Ji Hong.
"I have met your Majesty!"
"Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite!"
Ji Hong forced a smile on his face,
"The Prime Minister is busy with government affairs, how can he have time to come here today?"
Cao Da glanced at the musicians and singers, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, but on the surface he became more respectful.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I have received news in the past few days that Li Zhuo, a servant of Prince You's Mansion, died suddenly and suddenly."
"I thought it was something important?"
Ji Hong waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile,
"Let's discuss these small matters later at the court meeting."
But Cao Da had no intention of giving up. Instead, he said seriously,
"Your Majesty, you don't know. Now that Prince You's palace has lost its long history, Prince You has become tyrannical in Youzhou City by virtue of his status."
"Local officials and people are all complaining."
"I also hope that your Majesty will appoint someone from the royal palace to teach Prince You soon."
Seeing how unwilling he was, Ji Hong frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows.
"What the Prime Minister said is very reasonable. I wonder if the Prime Minister has any candidates?"
"Zhang Ding, a doctor from the Ministry of Finance, is honest and dedicated to the public affairs and has outstanding talents. He can be sent to Prince You's Mansion as a servant."
Zhang Ding is a close confidant of Cao Da. Cao Da recommended him as a layman because he wanted to completely suppress Ji Lie!
However, after listening to his words, Ji Hong smiled and waved his hand,
"Zhang Ding is also a talented person. Isn't it wronging him to let him go to Prince You's Mansion to be a small servant?"
"I do have a suitable candidate, the Prime Minister might as well listen to it."
Something strange flashed in Cao Da's eyes,
"I would like to hear the details."
"How about Yang Qing, the Censor of the Censor's Mansion?"
Hearing this name, Cao Da was slightly startled.
