The businesswoman flirting with her husband: Prince Tsundere, don't get angry!

Chapter 73 Talk
Prime Minister Gong Yu hurriedly stepped into the palace, the emperor was waiting for him in the study accompanied by the empress.When the prime minister entered the study, Gong Lixi bowed to the prime minister obediently, the prime minister did not dare to neglect his daughter in front of the emperor, and hurriedly returned the courtesy respectfully, Gong Lixi withdrew.

Only Xiao Yichen and Prime Minister Gong Yu were left in the study.

Seeing Xiao Yichen's silence for a long time, Gong Yu asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know why you are in such a hurry to call my ministers here?"

Xiao Yichen asked: "Can't the Prime Minister guess what I mean?"

Gong Yu was startled, stunned, and then said slowly after a long while: "I know, but please order from the emperor, I will definitely do my best, and I will not hesitate to die."

Xiao Yichen stood up: "Prime Minister is serious, it may not be that far, but I appreciate the prime minister's kindness. The prime minister is the Queen's father, and can be regarded as my father-in-law. The most trusted person in the court is you. I will not let you act as an agent of the government, and the prime minister has not disappointed me."

Gong Yu bowed: "The duty of the minister lies."

Xiao Yichen sighed, with sadness and unwillingness in his eyes: "Prime Minister, I won't hide it from you, I'm afraid I don't have many days left."

Gong Yu was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Long live my emperor, God bless my emperor."

Xiao Yichen laughed softly, a little sarcasm: "Long live? Which emperor lived to live long in ancient times? Not to mention long live, no one lives to live to be a hundred years old. I have already seen it. It's just that I am really unwilling, and the world is still stable now. , It was supposed to be a time for me to show my ambitions, but I was tormented by illness in vain. I have more than enough energy but not enough energy. It is really sad."

"Your Majesty, is there really no other way?"

Xiao Yichen shook his head: "I am the emperor, I have tried everything, but all of them are powerless. The imperial doctor said that what is in my body is not a disease, but a poison. I was secretly framed when the queen mother was pregnant. Fortunately, I gave birth safely. I, but I was born weak, the toxin invaded the bone marrow day by day, and there is no cure for it."

"The murderer...?"

"Murderer? After so many years, even if the murderer is still alive, I don't have the strength to look for it. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it has something to do with the Donglin King Party."

Gong Yu could see that the emperor was talking to him, so he stopped talking about the scene and asked a key question: "So the crown prince will inherit the throne?"

Xiao Yichen didn't answer this seemingly simple question directly, but said: "Prime Minister, the prince is young and has a pure and kind heart. I hope he lives well."

Gong Yu savored the emperor's words in his heart, and asked, "How does the emperor plan to arrange it?"

Xiao Yichen said: "I have already ordered Tan Li in private. From now on, other than me, the Prime Minister can directly mobilize the Dragon Scale Spirit Imperial Army."

Gong Yu was shocked, is the emperor really explaining what happened after his death?The Longlin Lingyu Army is directly under the command of the emperor, and no one can directly command it. Even General Tan Litan, who has been in command of the Lingyu Army, cannot transfer personnel privately.

The Lingyu Army can be regarded as the emperor's personal guard, responsible for the safety of the entire palace.This army is different from the other two armies of Longlin. It has been established since Taizu established the Yueli Dynasty. It has always been directly dispatched by the emperor. It is equivalent to the emperor's eyeliner, thugs and guards, and has a high status.Even if the history of the command of the Dragon Scale Army is only a fifth-rank official rank, it is really not a high-ranking official in the capital, and no one has ever dared to provoke him.

Gong Yu's heart was beating very fast. Although he has been an official for more than twenty years, he has lived a smooth life. Even after experiencing the Donglin Rebellion, his status has not been affected. But the storm.

He asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you feel that King An and King Cheng are too close?"

A trace of coldness flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes: "My heir is only the crown prince, so I have always cared about the relationship between the brothers, but desire often blinds my eyes early, and sometimes even my heart. Can’t tell the good from the bad.”

Gong Yu guessed very closely, and said: "Since there is such a meaning, I am afraid that many people in the court have already been bribed by them."

"Hmph, it's inevitable." Xiao Yichen snorted coldly, "I haven't had the energy to investigate the affairs of the court. Others don't know about it, but Dali Temple Minister Lu Chang can't escape."

"Lu Chang?" Gong Yu asked: "I remember that Lord Lu was a low-key person in the court, and he seldom showed his head when things happened. He didn't hear of forming cliques, and he gave people the impression that he was honest and responsible."

Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice: "It's true to be low-key, everything is done in private."

"Then..." Gong Yu saw the emperor bleeding from his nose as soon as he spoke, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Your majesty!"

Xiao Yichen was very calm, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the blood, then walked to the back of the desk and took out a small bottle, as soon as the bottle cap was opened, Gong Yu smelled a bitter breath, and couldn't help frowning and asked: " This is?"

Xiao Yichen took out a dark red pill from the bottle, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it with his head up while holding the tea on the table. He stood still and closed his eyes for a few breaths before opening his eyes, with a trace of sadness in his eyes: "This Pills can keep me awake for a few days and allow me to do more things."

Gong Yu didn't understand what he said, and sighed with grief: "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Yichen looked at Gong Yu and said with a helpless smile: "Prime Minister, people are born, old, sick and die, no one can escape, but one step earlier is one step later, but I am one of those who are one step earlier, I am afraid that Yan Jun is bored, so tell me to go early Go down and chat with him."

Gong Yu just sighed and didn't say a word.

Xiao Yichen said: "I have already ordered the Ling Yujun to secretly investigate Lu Chang's crimes. This Dali Temple minister is really low-key. I have spent a lot of effort, but I have finally gained something. I will give you a decree. Announce Lu Chang's crimes and put him in custody. Then, let's see how many ministers in the court stand up to speak for him. Didn't you say that he doesn't form cliques? Then there must not be many people who speak for him? The prime minister wants Don't wait and see?"

Gong Yu was taken aback, and re-examined the young emperor in his heart. Although he was young, he acted decisively and savagely, which had to be admired.

He immediately said: "I know."

"In addition." Xiao Yichen paused before saying: "The Dragon Scale Guard Army and the Patrol Army, one maintains the order in the city, and the other protects the surrounding area. These two armies are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. I don't have the strength to test the attitude of the Ministry of War now. You should pay more attention in secret, if you find any abnormalities, you don't need to submit them to Dali Temple for review, and you will kill Ouyang Shu, Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Gong Yu was shocked, would she be killed immediately?
He hesitated and asked: "Ouyang Shu was appointed by the late emperor, will he..."

"Don't think about other things." Xiao Yichen's tone was firm: "If you disagree, kill immediately!"

Gong Yu bowed deeply, and said slowly: "Minister, obey the order!"
