Prime Minister take care

Chapter 250 Half the River and Mountains
Xian City, Palace of the King of Shu.

Jian Changshi had a cold face, and after listening to his servant's report on Xia Gong Nie's daily life in recent days, his face was full of sadness.

"Are you saying that the king destroyed all the erotic pictures he stuffed under his pillow?"

The little waiter shook his head like a wave drum.He is Xia Gongnie's close servant, and also Jian Changshi's eyeliner.

Basically, Xia Gongnie's every move is public, and the people around her are basically either Yang Xian's people or Jian Changshi's people.There is a delicate balance of power between the Xia family and the Prime Minister's Palace, and the person who connects this point is Huang Hao, the deputy minister of the Central Committee.

Huang Hao is a regular attendant and Xia Gongnie's playmate since childhood. His identity determines that he will never betray Xia Gongnie.At the same time, because of Huang Hao's betrayal, Huang Feng died in the Shu palace, and the Huang family also declined.Although Huang Hao has gathered some concubine descendants of the Huang family, their current power is not huge.

Huang Hao has maintained a good balance between the Xia family and the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years.With such a person beside Xia Gongni, both Xia and Yang Xian can rest assured.

"Your Majesty did not destroy those erotic pictures, but took out all the gold threads from those golden picture books, and then gave the rest to us. Your Majesty also told us that the Prime Minister said that we were in dire straits of material resources and could not Easily damage items."

Jian Changshi's face was covered in black lines, and he couldn't help sighing.Did the stinginess and greed for money inherited from the ancestors of the Yuan Emperor of the Xia Clan finally be passed on to Xia Gongnie?
But where did this come from!Although this erotic picture is an obscene and private thing, it is carefully crafted by a master.After all, it is something for the royal family, and the value of the embroidered portraits is far more valuable than the materials themselves.

Xia Gongnie is simply trashing things!
Jian Changshi didn't feel bad about destroying some items.What really worries Jian Changshi is Xia Gongnier's current state.

Although it is normal for an ordinary ten-year-old girl to be carefree, Xia Gongni is a king.Yang Xian is in charge of the political affairs of the Shu Kingdom. In the eyes of princes from all over the country, Xia Gong Nie is just a puppet in Yang Xian's hands.

In fact, this is indeed the case.But this state cannot last forever.The reason why the Xia family can tolerate it is because Xia Gongnie has not grown up yet and needs Yang Xian's protection.

But Xia Gongnir will always grow up one day, and the battle between prime ministerial power and monarchy will become fierce sooner or later.In the eyes of the world, Yang Xian was a virtuous minister who protected his young master, and Xia Gongni was a king with a virtuous reputation.

Yang Xian did really well, he left everyone speechless, even now he is doing the same thing as Huan Wu, even worse.

But everyone in the world can be content with the current state, even Jian Chang can serve him, but Xia Gong Nie cannot.What she needs is to wake up, stay alert to Yang Xian, and start building a force loyal to herself.

For that moment that will come sooner or later in the future!
But the increasingly intimate state between Xia Gongnie and Yang Xian at this time is beyond words and cannot be described.

"Yang Zhong back then, Yang Xian today. Alas!"

In the end, Changshi Jian could only sigh, but he felt helpless.

Prime Minister's House.

Xia Gong Nie sat in Yang Xian's seat, and a pot of fragrant spring onion and pig's trotter soup was placed on the table.Xia Gong Nie was feasting, but Yang Xian was flipping through the books in his hand, sitting on the chair beside him, enjoying the afternoon leisurely.

"Prime Minister, Wu and Chu have agreed to send troops one after another. However, Cai Tong's appetite is too big. Is it too risky to hand Pingling into his hands?"

Yan Yi stood next to the Taishi's chair. He received a letter from his brother and learned the news from there.Although Yan Yi and Yan Le were brothers, one had a gray beard and the other had black hair. They did not look like they were from the same era.

Yan Yi betrayed the other three major families in Shuzhou, thus gaining the opportunity for family continuation and development.But this opportunity is very fragile. Once Liang Jun enters Shu, everything Yan Yi has now will cease to exist. "This old guy Cai Tong, if you don't give him a little sweetness, how can he work hard? What really surprised me was Wu Lord Hou Shen, his courage is really extraordinary!"

As the leader of a country, Hou Shen agreed to send troops to help just because of a marriage. Compared with Cai Tong's greed, his courage is really incomparable.

"Prime Minister, Cai Tong is greedy for real benefits. Although he has a big appetite, his fault lies in the open. Hou Shen is a bit unpredictable. He doesn't want wealth or the city, so I'm afraid his plans are not small."

Yan Yi had a vigilant look on his face. When he said this, he looked at Xia Gongni beside him.

Xia Gongnie bit the pig's trotters, noticed the incomprehensible gaze, and blinked.

"Prime Minister, all of Hou Shen's children are like dragons and phoenixes, especially the fourth son Hou Quan, who is young, intelligent and handsome. Isn't it too risky to recruit him as the king's husband?"

Yan Yi was very worried. With Xia Gongni's state, he might be deceived by Hou Quan.By then, the Shu Kingdom is really in danger of destruction.

Xia Gongnie's ears suddenly perked up. She heard that her first royal husband was amazingly beautiful, and her face flashed with excitement.

"Really? Then when will he come! My Ah Hua can't wait!"

"Ahua?"

Yan Yi was taken aback for a moment, a little confused about what exactly is the Ah Hua that Xia Gongnier was talking about?Yan Yi turned his gaze to Yang Xian, wanting to get an answer from him, but Yang Xian smiled.

"Hou Shen swallowed the old master's foundation to establish the state of Wu. He had been dormant in Wu for more than ten years, but could not make any further progress. Regardless of the objections of his ministers, he allied with Cai Tong. Since then, they have advanced and retreated together. Wu and Chu are like one body, but after all They are two families. There are not even [-] troops stationed on the border between the two sides. It seems that they are trustworthy, but it is actually because Wu and Chu are dead. Hou Shen is only in his forties this year. He is still in his prime, so how can he be willing to live in a corner."

"What the prime minister means is that Hou Shen intends to swallow Chu?"

There was not much surprise in Yan Yi's expression.In the past, within Yizhou, there were also voices saying that the river would come out of the east, Jingyang would be annexed, and the world would be divided into two parts.But in the end, because of Xia Yunhua's relationship, these plans came to nothing.Finally, seeing that the world returned to Liang, all the aristocratic families in Shu focused on becoming obedient ministers of the new dynasty.

"I'm afraid not only the Chu Kingdom, but also the Shu Kingdom are also in Hou Shen's plan. Otherwise, he would not agree to let the most outstanding fourth son, Hou Quan, marry him. Huan Wu was outmatched, so they put their minds here. The same is true for Cai Tong, but the pressure on the border is too great, and Jingzhou is located in the center of the Three Kingdoms. If Cai Tong exposes his ambitions, he will only fall into despair and be attacked from both sides."

"Then why did the Prime Minister recruit Marquis Quan to Shu?"

"Because what I want is the world, not half of the country."

Yang Xian smiled, which made Yan Yi get goosebumps.

"My father-in-law said it well." Xia Gongnie responded with half a pig's trotter, "If you want to eat, just eat one. What's so good about half a pig's trotter."

After saying that, Xia Gongnie caught the half pig's trotter and ate it with relish.
