After entering the wrong bridal chamber, I went to farm with the powerful minister

Chapter 1163 Finale (11)

In fact, he had long known that his legitimate daughter-in-law was excellent.

He just didn't expect that the child could be so good. It was beyond his imagination.

The Minister of Revenue said: "Princess Rui cares about the soldiers and the country. We admire her."

Everyone nodded.

At this time, the old prime minister spoke again: "I have always had a doubt here. For some reason, the Seventh Prince has been trapped in his own mansion. Now that we need generals, I think if the Seventh Prince is guilty, let him atone for his sins and lead the troops to fight."

The ministers who had just spoken for the Ling family quickly agreed.

Some even said: "The Seventh Prince has been wronged. He has been imprisoned for more than a month without even hearing any trumped-up charges."

Long Yi said in a deep voice: "Wen Yu, you speak."

"Have you forgotten that my seventh brother married a girl from Northern Qi?"

As soon as Fu Ciyi asked this question, the ministers immediately fell silent.

The old prime minister still said: "It is right for His Majesty the Seventh Prince to marry Princess Beiqi. If His Majesty the Seventh Prince can go to the battlefield and bring Princess Beiqi to negotiate peace, wouldn't that be perfect?"

Fu Ciyi smiled: "Da Jing is the ruler of the world. When did he need to take the initiative to negotiate peace with others?"

"But the current situation does not allow us to waste any more time." The old prime minister said anxiously.

Yan Cheng said, "The old prime minister is old and has a pedantic way of looking at things."

The old prime minister thought he was deaf, but seeing the expressions of the people around him, he knew he had heard correctly and shouted, "Duke, you!"

"What about me?" Yan Cheng's face darkened. "What if the Seventh Prince takes the Princess of Beiqi back to Beiqi and turns against us? What do you think, old Prime Minister?"

"Nonsense." The old prime minister was so angry that his beard was shaking. "I knew it was His Royal Highness Prince Rui who put His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince under house arrest. You are the father-in-law of His Royal Highness Prince Rui, so you naturally help your son-in-law. Besides, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is the Prince of Dajing, so how could he turn against him?"

Yan Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The old prime minister thought he was right, so he turned to look at Fu Ciyi and said, "Your Highness Prince Rui is the legitimate prince, so he should set an example for other princes, and be friendly and respectful to his brothers. With such a good reputation, we old ministers should support your highness."

What he said made it clear that if he wanted to be the crown prince and get the support of the old ministers headed by him, he had to be magnanimous.

Fu Ciyi raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "This time Gongsun Sheng attacked Dajing because he said that Dajing violated the double marriage agreement and let the prince of Dajing marry the legitimate princess of Beiqi, but refused to marry the legitimate princess of Dajing to Beiqi."

"As for how my seventh brother married Gongsun Man, at the farewell banquet that day, the Gongsun brothers and sisters used the dirty trick of aphrodisiac incense..."

He briefly recounted what happened that day.

"Seventh brother was originally promiscuous, and with the help of the aphrodisiac incense, he and Gongsun Man became husband and wife."

"I would like to ask, what is Gongsun Man's purpose in becoming the daughter-in-law of the Dajing royal family by such means? Can the licentious Long Lihui be qualified to be a general and go to the border?"

The old prime minister was speechless after being confronted for a long while before he said, "Your Highness Prince Rui is so capable, why not find more soldiers to solve Dajing's current urgent needs."

"Even if the old prime minister didn't say it, I would have done it." Fu Ciyi said calmly.

Long Yi said in a low and deep voice: "Long Lihui should be shut up. I know that the old prime minister had a lot of dealings with the deposed queen mother in the past. If you want to say something, don't do it too much."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the important officials in the room looked at the old prime minister.

The old prime minister's face suddenly turned red.

The emperor has said so much, in front of so many important ministers, which is no different from slapping him in the face.

I felt very uneasy sitting in my seat.

King Cheng laughed and said, "Well, he should be locked up!"

As he said this, he glanced at the old prime minister.

Long Yi waved his hand and said, "It's getting late. I won't keep you for lunch. Go back and think about recommending soldiers. The Ministry of War should focus on this matter and put the conscription on the agenda."

Everyone said yes.

Just as the ministers were leaving, Long Yi stopped Yan Cheng and King Cheng.

"You two stay and drink with me." His gaze shifted to Fu Ciyi, "Go and ask your mother to come over. Oh, and bring Fu Ning along."

Fu Ciyi said he was leaving.

Long Yi stepped down from the dragon chair and raised his hand. Yan Cheng and King Cheng walked on his left and right. Looking at the figure of the old prime minister walking faster than the middle-aged ministers, King Cheng sneered: "This old man is usually so righteous, but I didn't expect him to be such a wretch."

He really didn't expect that the old prime minister had an affair with the deposed empress dowager. Since the deposed empress dowager's character was exposed, the old prime minister hid it really well.

It's really disgusting.

Yan Cheng snorted lightly: "I don't think it's because of anything. It's fine if it's someone who is on good terms with the Ling family, but it has to be the 'highly respected' old prime minister."

The words "highly respected" were emphasized.

Long Yi said: "Now that the general is officially deployed, the Ling family naturally hopes to take this opportunity to turn things around."

But because of this, the possibility of the Ling family's rebellion is greater.

He would never employ any soldier from the Ling family again.

"In this case, Your Majesty might as well choose a new prime minister," suggested King Cheng.

"I do have a few candidates in mind." After a slight pause, Long Yi continued, "But the situation is turbulent now, and reappointing the prime minister also carries risks."

"I was given a mission in a time of crisis." Cheng Wang said.

Long Yi then turned his gaze towards Yan Cheng.

Yan Cheng paused: "What does the emperor mean?"

Long Yi said: "We are relatives, Fu Ning is very sensible, of course Wen Yu is also sensible..."

Now they are relatives?

Yan Cheng sneered in his heart and interrupted him: "I have been an idle official for a long time..."

Long Yi also interrupted Yan Cheng: "Now that the country is in crisis, and the position of Prime Minister has long been vacant, shouldn't the Duke serve the country?"

Yan Cheng: “…”

King Cheng laughed on the side.

Long Yi turned to look at him and said, "Your eldest son is a royal consort in Nanchu, so don't create any trouble in Nanchu."

King Cheng quickly stopped smiling and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Long Yi felt that the burden on his shoulders was lightened, and his steps became lighter.

The two people following behind looked at each other.

A leisurely duke, a leisurely prince, but now the task has been slammed down on their shoulders.

It was quite pleasant not to talk about state affairs during lunch.

Wait until you leave the palace.

Yan Cheng and King Cheng patted Fu Ciyi's shoulders from the left and right, leaving him stunned.

"Father-in-law, Uncle Cheng, do you two have anything to say?"

The two middle-aged men stopped one after another.

Yan Cheng spoke first: "What exactly is your father up to? He wants me to be the prime minister."

Fu Ciyi was stunned when he heard this.

King Cheng also spoke up: "Your father asked me to take care of the southern border. My big bastard hasn't been home for so long, how can I take care of it?"

Fu Ciyi suddenly felt a headache: "What do you two mean by telling me?"

Yan Cheng: "I am your father-in-law."

King Cheng: "I am your uncle."

They both said in unison: "The peace of the world is in your hands!"

After that, the two patted his shoulders again.

"Even if you two don't say anything, I will naturally try my best in the current situation." Fu Ciyi stated.

The issue of generals and military forces is what needs to be resolved urgently.
