Chapter 866: Benefits, cleverness

Although the six ministers didn't have a clear alliance before, they tacitly teamed up to create a lot of trouble for Xiao Tianyao. Prime Minister You thought that it would take some time for Prince Xiao to fully take over the government affairs and control the six ministries, but he didn't expect that his plan for the Northern Country will break the fragile alliance of the six ministries.

He has to say that Prince Xiao's move was clever. Selling grain to the North openly not only can break tbreakntrol of the six ministries and the Empress, but can also make the North grateful to him and earn a lot of money from it.

Of course, these were not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Prince Xiao can place people in the court openly, to control the court.

If Prime Minister You knew about Bihai Pavilion and Tiancang Pavilion, he would be even more amazed.

The ministers have no objection to selling grains. They were only fighting for the right to manage it. Unfortunately, no matter how they fight, as long as Xiao Tianyao doesn’t open his mouth, they cannot touch it.

However, it was obvious that Xiao Tianyao doesn't want the six ministries to intervene in this matter at all. Because no matter what the six ministers said, he never let go.

The six ministers were not stupid. From Prince Xiao's att.i.tude, they can tell that he wanted to take the initiative into his own hands.

However, even if they can't have the right control, it was good if they can get a share of it. The six ministers stopped quarreling. The Minister of the Household Department proposed to ask Prince Xiao to set up a new department to deal with the sale of grain to the Northern Country.

This was Xiao Tianyao's plan, and the Minister of the Household Department brought it up with interest. Naturally, Prince Xiao would not say no, and immediately took over the initiative, saying: "Let this matter be handled by Prime Minister You. Benw.a.n.g gives you 3 days to discuss it with the North Envoy. Once an agreement is reached, set up an agricultural affairs department on the border within half a month, specifically responsible for selling grain to the north."

"This minister takes orders." Prime Minister You was smart. He knows very well that although Prince Xiao entrusted him with the responsibility, the people in the Department of Agricultural Affairs will be Prince Xiao's people.

Prime Minister You understood this matter, but the six ministers can't understand it. Seeing that Prince Xiao handed over the matter to Prime Minister You, each of them secretly pondered how to get close to him and send suitable children from their clan to the Agricultural Affairs Department.

Naturally, no one ask more questions, and almost none of the ministers had much objection to what Prince Xiao said next, including the transfer of Imperial Concubine Zhou's elder brother to the border of the Western Country. All the ministers simply said a few words in symbolic response, then stayed silent.

When the important matters have been dealt with, the six ministers have been successfully disarmed. Seeing this, Xiao Tianyao said: "It's getting late, all the ministers can leave."

"Yes, w.a.n.gye." Seeing Xiao Tianyao's handling of government affairs, the six ministers no longer dared to underestimate him, and they all responded respectfully.

As everyone knows, this was a person who can dispose of Imperial Concubine Zhou's lineage just by talking and laughing. Although they don't want to betray the emperor, they don't dare to confront this person.

Prime Minister You and the six ministers retreated one by one, only Prime Minister Lin was a step late and stood up after everyone else had left, then said: "w.a.n.gye, I heard that Chujiu has returned to the capital. I wonder how she is now?"

This was Prime Minister Lin. Even if everyone knows that he and Lin Chujiu were enemies, he can pretend that nothing happened and still act like they were father and daughter.

It was a pity that not everyone likes him. Xiao Tianyao looked up and snorted coldly: "You can call me the boudoir name of my wife?"

"Yes, yes, yes, this minister made a mistake." Prime Minister Lin didn't even think about it, so he bowed and apologized.

Bending and stretching, this was also Prime Minister Lin's talent.

Not to mention, the emperor was unconscious at the moment. When the emperor was defeated, Prime Minister Lin wanted to find a way out, and the way out was right in front of him, how could he let it go?

Ignoring Xiao Tianyao's dislike, Prime Minister Lin said cheekily: "I have been very worried when I learned about what happened to Xiao w.a.n.gfei in Xiao w.a.n.gfu. I don't know if this minister can go to the w.a.n.gfu to visit the princess?"

As long as he enters Prince Xiao's mansion, those villains will not dare to underestimate him. After all, he was Prince Xiao's father-in-law. As long as Prince Xiao still recognizes Lin Chujiu, he must recognize him as his father-in-law.

Didn't Prince Xiao "rescue" him as soon as he entered the capital?

"Prime Minister Lin is Xiao w.a.n.gfei's father, so of course." Xiao Tianyao looked at Prime Minister Lin inscrutably, with a flash of coldness in his eyes.

Prime Minister Lin was indeed a smart person, but he was just a little smart. He will let him understand what it means to shoot a stone in his foot.

Prime Minister Lin's eyes lit up, fearing that Prince Xiao would go back on his word, he hurriedly said: "When this minister gets back, I will have someone prepare it, and I will visit it some other time."

"Mmm." Xiao Tianyao responded lukewarmly, Prime Minister Lin knew that Prince Xiao was impatient, so he did not stay long after he had achieved his goal, and bowed to leave.

After handling the most urgent and difficult official duties, and successfully suppressing the six ministers, Xiao Tianyao no longer needed to deal with official duties day and night. As soon as the sun went down, he returned home in a sedan chair.

Same as yesterday, as soon as Xiao Tianyao left the palace, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, but he didn't seem to know it, and let the tails behind him follow. Those people on the left and right factions could only follow outside the palace. They could not sneak into the palace.

"w.a.n.gye is back!" Xiao Tianyao's carriage was still nearly a hundred meters away from Xiao w.a.n.g's mansion, but the guards and servants in the mansion went out to greet him, filling up the big street, and not giving anyone a chance to come forward.

The sedan chair went directly into the mansion, and the people who followed Prince Xiao could only watch helplessly as he entered the mansion, not daring to take half a step forward, lest they be discovered by the people of Xiao w.a.n.gfu.

They saw with their own eyes today that the guards of Xiao w.a.n.gfu arrested several groups of people who tried to enter.

When Xiao Tianyao got off the sedan chair, the a.s.sistant Housekeeper of the mansion stepped forward and said: "w.a.n.gye, the guards caught three groups of spies today, but they couldn't find out who they belonged to. They didn't have any marks on them. They were all locked in the dungeon. This subordinate ordered someone to keep interrogating them."

"In addition, w.a.n.gfei seems to have something to ask for you, so she sent someone to the front yard to ask about w.a.n.gye in the afternoon, but w.a.n.gfei didn't say anything, she just said that when you are back and someone must tell her."

Housekeeper Cao has been fined, so he was recuperating. The a.s.sistant Housekeeper will take care of all the affairs in the mansion temporarily.

"Go to the backyard. Benw.a.n.g will eat in the backyard. Take out the people in the prison and send them to the Ministry of Punishment tomorrow morning." It happened that the six ministers were very free, so he found something for them to do so that they would not be idle all day long.

"This servant understands." The a.s.sistant Housekeeper said respectfully and was planning to continue reporting on the affairs of the mansion, but he saw Prince Xiao striding towards the backyard. The a.s.sistant Housekeeper had no choice but to take back the words that came to his mouth silently.

Su Cha also said that the matter was not in a hurry, so he will provoke others when their prince was free. As everyone knew, Housekeeper Cao was punished because he angered their princess. He does not want to follow in the footsteps of Housekeeper Cao… …
