Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 1045
Prime Minister Xiao was scheming and cautious, and he never got involved in those corrupt and law-breaking things. Even if the ministers bit them out, there was no evidence, and the Xiao family could not be punished.

From the very beginning, the Xiao family had thought of a way out and left themselves clean, but those ministers had difficulty getting out, and Prime Minister Xiao stood by and watched.

Seeing that Shen Cheng's investigation became more and more stringent, some ministers couldn't sit still, so they went to find Ruan Jing, Ruan Jing had no choice but to go to Xiao's house secretly.

In the middle of the night, there was a heavy snowfall, Ruan Jing was full of worries, as if the heavy snow had weighed on his heart.

"Half of the Xiao family's power was destroyed by Shen Cheng. These people were either dismissed from their posts and investigated, or ransacked their homes and beheaded. His Majesty has no intention of letting go. If this continues, the Xiao family's power will be wiped out. Exhausted, my lord, the court is about to change, do you really want to do nothing?"

Prime Minister Xiao suddenly glanced at him, full of sarcasm: "The imperial court has changed a long time ago. Most of the imperial court today are His Majesty's confidantes, but so what? You are also the minister of Taichang Temple, why are you so short-sighted?"

Old Ruan Jing blushed, froze for a few breaths, and then said: "My lord wants to get rid of the cancer, but the situation is getting worse and worse. We have to keep our own talents. We have worked hard to manage the situation before, and if it is all in the hands of Shen Cheng , isn’t it a failure?”

"Those who achieve great things need to know the trade-offs. Do you think that you can achieve great things by keeping those forces? Do you think that the Xiao family is still in control of the government? Today, Your Majesty is acting vigorously and resolutely. It is no longer weak and incompetent before. It will be a matter of time before the Xiao family is eradicated." , nothing to worry about, the Xiao family can only let mermaids."

If the Xiao family wants to achieve hegemony, they have to raise troops to rebel. If His Majesty eradicates the power of the Xiao family, he will relax his vigilance against the Xiao family, and the Xiao family can secretly prepare for rebellion.

Everyone thought that Prime Minister Xiao was under house arrest in the mansion as an idler, but he was the one playing chess.

Ruan Jing was secretly startled, suppressed the waves in his eyes, and then slowly said: "What your lord said is true, the only way is to raise troops to seek trouble, the king of Chu is dead, and many princes are hard to become a great weapon, but Yan Wang's mansion Your Majesty Li's eldest son can take on great responsibilities. If His Majesty can personally designate the Ninth Princess as the Zhen Guo Princess, she will definitely let her be the regent in the future to assist the new emperor. The Ninth Princess will not die, and the matter of raising troops is also full of dangers. Before, we confronted her head-on, Not only did she not gain any benefits, but she lost her troops, my lord, we need to find a way to drive a wedge between her and His Majesty."

When Prime Minister Xiao heard the words, he was speechless for a long time.

Ruan Jing saw that he was silent, and continued: "People's hearts are separated from each other, and they can't withstand provocations. Your Majesty needs her to favor her everywhere. But if the two of us are doing our own things, without His Majesty's protection, we It is not difficult to deal with the nine princesses."

Prime Minister Xiao's eyes were deep, and he held back his deep light, and suddenly smiled and said: "If you can provoke, how can the Xiao family retreat steadily? However, you reminded the truth that there must be a reason why Ben favors her so much. You can start from here."

"Your Majesty favors the Ninth Princess because he wants to use her to deal with us. Is there another reason?"

Prime Minister Xiao looked at him in a daze, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Don't you think, between her brows and eyes, she looks quite similar to Concubine Degui?"

Ruan Jing's complexion changed drastically, and he said in shock: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he treats the Ninth Princess."

Ruan Jing was quite shocked, and when he calmed down, he said: "Princess Ninth has long been married as a woman, and His Majesty has already announced to the world that she is recognized as a righteous daughter. If there is really something wrong between the two, isn't it incest?"
