Prime Minister take care

Chapter 9
After all, Xia Yunhua still didn't survive the winter of Yonghe for three years.It's the end of the year, a festive time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, but Xia Yunhua's passing has cast a layer of sadness over the land of Yizhou.

With the death of the old king, Xia Gongni entered the stage of Shu, officially appeared in front of the people of the world, and became the lord of Yizhou.

A Shu king who is under ten years old will not only become the target of enemy countries, but even the various forces in Yizhou have their own agendas.If you compare it carefully, Xia Yunhua's situation when he entered Shu was actually similar to that of Xia Gong Nirvana today. Both were surrounded by powerful enemies outside and powerful men were watching inside.

The only difference is that although Xia Yunhua was young back then, there were a large number of veterans who were loyal to the Xia family around him.It was precisely because of the existence of these people that Xia Yunhua was able to gain a firm foothold in Yizhou.

Just 30 years passed by, these veterans died one by one, and the legacy of the Xia family's century-old legacy also withered away.

Xia Gongnie's situation is much more dangerous than her mother's, but she herself doesn't feel anything.I should eat and drink, and I didn't fall behind at all.

"My lord, auspiciousness descended from heaven!"

At the court meeting, Yang Xian looked happy and almost yelled out the words, fearing that others wouldn't see that he was acting.

"What kind of auspiciousness does Xiangfu talk about?"

"The southwestern natives caught a pure golden carp in the glacier."

The carp leaps over the dragon gate, and the golden carp symbolizes the dragon in legend.

As Yang Xian finished speaking, the surrounding courtiers looked puzzled, especially Li Bi, who was in charge of governing the country, and his eyebrows were almost twisted.

What does this kid want to do?
At the court meeting, the heads of the aristocratic families who had been cheated by Yang Xian all had this question in their minds.

Historically, when a new king ascends the throne, there are always some auspicious reports from various places to show the new dynasty.Either asking for credit or asking for rewards, these auspicious signs are difficult to distinguish between true and false.The courtiers in the palace are all well-educated and sensible people. They have seen and heard much more widely than ordinary people. Naturally, they will not easily believe these stories about gods and ghosts.As long as the fraud is not too serious, people like them will just turn a blind eye and just take advantage of it.

But it was the prime minister of a country who reported the fortune, which was a bit of a fuss.

Unlike other kings who were fond of great achievements, Xia Gongni really had no interest in this aspect.She inherited the excellent genes of the Xia family's ancestors, and in her childhood, money and food had already occupied her vocabulary, and there was really no room for other things.

"Your Majesty! The auspiciousness is already on its way to the royal capital, and it will arrive at Xian City in the near future. I suggest that we should choose a place in Xian City and select generals and troops to worship the auspiciousness."

When Yang Xian said this, Li Bi's heart began to tighten.He finally understood why Yang Xian had said so much.
Division of troops!
There has been no war in Yizhou for a long time, the soldiers' discipline has been lax, and their troops have been scattered.In addition to county soldiers from various places, the main military forces in Yizhou are concentrated in Xiancheng.The imperial guards of the palace, the family soldiers in the hands of the famous families, and the rest are the Qingyu guards who maintain the security of Xian City.

The imperial guards in the palace have always been the confidants of the Xia family.This is the tacit understanding formed between Xia Yunhua and the aristocratic family.No noble family can interfere with matters in the palace.

And Yang Xian's goal is the three thousand Qingyu guards who are regarded as family soldiers by the Li family.The Li family has been in business for a long time, and Li Bi regards Qingyu Guard as a forbidden favorite and does not allow others to get involved.

Li Bi glanced at Yang Xian who was playing, and secretly thought that this kid is really cunning.Guarding Xiangrui is just a name, the real purpose is to get troops from him.

"According to Xiangfu's wishes!"

Xia Gongnie waved her little hand, and agreed without thinking.

There was silence for a moment above the court hall.All the courtiers were silent, especially the patriarchs of the four great families of Li, Zhang, Yan, and Huang, who looked angry.

The Yang family followed Xia Yunhua into Shu. In the eyes of Yizhou's aristocratic families, they were outsiders, and there was a natural barrier between them.In the past, although Xia Yunhua was dim, he had a good balance.

And now Xia Gong Nie basically gets everything he wants from Yang Xian.If things go on like this, how can they survive in Yang Xian's hands?
Although Xia Gongnie is only a young son, the patriarchs of these aristocratic families will not take him seriously.They could clearly see the general trend of the world and knew that under Liang Jun's offensive, the Shu Kingdom would fall sooner or later.

However, as long as Xia Gongni remains on the throne, or in other words, as long as the Empress of Zhou who sits in the capital of the gods does not abdicate her throne.His Xia family is the orthodoxy in the world, and they are all ministers.

As a minister and a king, they are absolutely beyond their control.At least, on the surface.

The principles of monarch and ministers are the foundation of the emperor's rule and the foundation of his ministers' conduct.The emperor can be the powerful person who sits at the center and controls the world, or he can be a sharp weapon in the hands of others.

The key is, who is the person in charge of the weapon?Huan Wu held the emperor hostage and ordered the princes. My son, Yang Xian, do you want to imitate the old tricks of Liang Hou today?
"Your Majesty, General Gu Zhonglang of Qingyu Guard has always been steady and can take on this important task."

Li Bi walked out of the courtroom, stood beside Yang Xian, took the lead and said.The timing of his pinch was precise, right at the peak of Xia Gongni's impatience.

Although Li Bi had many retainers, except for General Gu Zhonglang, there was no suitable candidate who could seize this position from Yang Xian.

"That's it! It's over! It's over! I'm going to my prime minister's house for dinner!"

"..."

The crowd on the long road from the main hall to the palace gate was sparse.Gu Zhonglang walked quickly behind Li Bi and greeted him softly.

"Master Li!"

"General Gu Zhonglang, you also saw it today. Yang Xian was aggressive. I finally begged the king to save the military power in your hands."

"I'd like to thank Master Li for my humble position!"

General Gu Zhonglang is Li Bi's confidant. Although he is a bit lustful, he still has some abilities.It was precisely for this reason that Li Bicai gave him this important position.

"Anyway, be careful. I'm worried that Yang Xian won't let it go."

"Humble job understands!"

sunset.

When everyone left the Shu Palace, the long road from the main hall to the palace gate was empty.

Jian Changshi stood under the eaves outside the side hall, watching the clouds in the sky, and suddenly a clear voice came into his ears.

No one in the Shu Palace dared to be so arrogant, except for the owner of the palace.

"Xiangfu, Xiangfu, what shall we eat tonight?"

"Let's have carp soup!"

“People don’t like to eat fish!”

"I love it or not!"

Xia Gongnie wanted to show off her temper, so she kicked her legs and was too lazy to leave.She was huffing and puffed, with words written on her face: I am very angry, come and comfort me.

But Yang Xian had no intention of looking back.Seeing Yang Xian walking further and further away, Xia Gongnie licked her smile again, ran over, pulled Yang Xian's sleeve, and acted coquettishly.

"Xiangfu, Xiangfu! After thinking about it, carp soup is actually not bad!"

On the long road, one big and one small, accompanied by one minister and one king.They are said to be monarchs and ministers, but in fact they are more like father and daughter.To be more precise, like an owner and his pet.

Jian Changshi frowned.Yang Xian was originally a sword, a sharp knife that suppressed the wealthy Yizhou families.

But now it seems that Yang Xian has exceeded their original expectations.
