Chapter 386: Prime Minister's Mansion
The father and son each had their own ulterior motives, but they both looked peaceful.
Xia Yining's side was going very smoothly. After each city was breached, the people stood in line on both sides to welcome him eagerly.
Many people have relatives in Tiansheng City, and they have heard that Princess Nanxu is very kind and never beats or scolds the people.
When soldiers entered the city, they would not rob or kill women, and they would not even enter the homes of ordinary people.
At first, the people in the other three cities didn't believe it. They knew very well what kind of people the Dongli soldiers were like over the years.
It was not until the second city was captured and the people heard it again that they really knew that Nan Xu was so good!!!
At this time, Xia Yining entered the last city very smoothly and looked at the people speechlessly.
The eager look in his eyes is like a hungry child.
!!!
I couldn't help but twitch my lips a few times, so I repeated what I said before. Every time I said it, they nodded.
People: Okay, okay, we’ll listen to you.
After hearing what she said, his gaze turned to the seven Dharma protectors, and he looked as if he wanted to eat them alive.
He said happily in his heart: "You will be our protector in the future, hehehe..."
Come to my house for dinner later. What does the Divine Tiger Guardian like to eat? Meat?"
Three Tigers: ·······
Hey, hey, hey, you are the defeated party, please behave yourself.
Seeing that they accepted it well, Xia Yining and others walked around the city and found that everywhere was in ruins and it would take a lot of work to rebuild it.
Then he wrote another letter and sent it back.
At this time, she didn't know that the whole city of Beijing had gone crazy because of the letter she sent back.
The new emperor even promoted He Xinglang from the initial position of county magistrate to the current position of frontier governor.
During the morning court session, the new emperor read over and over again the letters from the God of War sent from the border.
The smile was very obscene and busy, no, very proud.
Xia Zuoxiang also looked proud, thinking that his sister was the most powerful person in the world, but he was more worried in his heart.
Thinking of his third brother's words, he stepped forward and said, "I have something to report. The border is in need of people right now.
The elders in the family were also worried that Ning'er and Xinglang would have no one to take care of them, so they wanted the third brother and his family to take their children to the border.
I wonder if there is a new emperor..."
Hearing this, the person on the dragon throne laughed loudly: "I thought the people in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion had really changed. It turns out they were waiting for this moment.
If you didn't ask me today, I would have thought it was abnormal.
In that case, let your third brother be a county magistrate. It will be easier for him if he helps He Xinglang.
This way I can work well and still have time to take care of my younger brothers and sisters, is that okay?"
You look so proud of yourself. I am so thoughtful and you are indeed a good emperor.
He was very happy. He was just considering the candidate for the county magistrate, but he didn't expect that the left prime minister had the same idea as him and sent someone over the next second.
Eh~~~ You are indeed the emperor-protecting faction my father mentioned. You are really useful.
Seeing Xia Zuoxiang's doting look, he couldn't help but tremble, feeling disgusted.
All the court officials said: New emperor, could you please stop looking so biased? It makes people jealous.
The Right Prime Minister had not spoken for a long time. He was old now. When Xia Yunle resigned, he was happy for a long time and felt that he could be the only one in power in the court.
He didn't even think about it, how could the emperor allow it?
Not long after, the eldest master of the Xia family caught the eye of the new emperor and took over his father's position, which was a rapid rise to fame.
When the imperial edict came down, many people were stunned, thinking that the position of Left Prime Minister could be hereditary.
This is the first time since the founding of the country that a son has succeeded his father.
It also dealt a heavy blow to the Right Prime Minister. Because of the incident of Xia Yining being lost, Xia Yunle was also angry with the Right Prime Minister and directly broke off all contact with him.
Considering that the emperor still needs him, he will be spared for the time being.
At this time, the Right Prime Minister stood up and said: "I am old and can no longer serve as the Right Prime Minister. Please allow me to serve as a county magistrate at the border.
I am willing to use my last moments to do more for Nanxu."
He had a reason for doing this. The right prime minister felt that the new emperor's attitude towards him was becoming increasingly cold, and he was doing less and less things in the capital.
Thinking about what happened in the past, he wanted to go to the eldest princess to atone his sins.
In this way, even after he left, the people in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion would not make things too difficult for the people in the mansion.
Upon hearing this, Xia Zuo Xiang frowned slightly and glanced at the gray-haired You Xiang standing aside.
He sighed silently.
I remember that he was about the same age as my father, but now he looks like a man in his sixties or seventies.
He was reluctant to let the right prime minister go, but emperors all learned the art of balance, and what the new emperor decided was not something that a single minister like him could influence.
"I see. Right Prime Minister has worked diligently in the court. Now it is time for him to take a break. Why not stay in the capital to recuperate?"
The new emperor naturally knew about the conflicts between the left and right governments, which was why he went to cause trouble for the eldest princess.
Not to mention that he is one of our own people, just based on the fact that he has won the battle at the front, is he a fool to let the right prime minister go there now?
Upon hearing this, the Right Prime Minister gave a bitter smile, knelt on the ground and said, "I am old, please allow me to return to my hometown to retire."
Everyone:! ! !
No one expected him to do this. The position of Right Prime Minister is one level lower than Left Prime Minister. Who wouldn't want to do it?
They were also very excited and secretly looked at the new emperor's face.
"In that case, I approve it." The new emperor also had this idea after careful consideration. Now there was no need for two ministers to coexist in the court to maintain a balance.
My father once said that if the Left Prime Minister had any rebellious intentions, he should stop struggling and just give the throne to the eldest princess.
By then, he will be a leisurely prince in his family, enjoying life at home, and he won't have to get up so early.
No one knew that the new emperor was so happy to hear these words that he wished the eldest princess would rebel right away.
What a pity...
He tried to test Xia Zuo Xiang for a long time, but he just looked at me as if I were a fool.
Civil and Military Officials: !!!
Excited hearts, trembling hands, they all think they have a chance, right?
Upon hearing this, the Right Prime Minister felt relieved and was so moved that he burst into tears. He felt that the new emperor still loved him.
He kowtowed heavily, then bent his body and stepped back.
At this point, a generation of right prime minister disappeared in the long river of history.
The new emperor announced that from now on, Nanxu would only have one prime minister, with no distinction between left and right, and hoped that the people would know this.
After the morning court session that day, all the officials congratulated Prime Minister Xia, feeling jealous.
Who is as lucky as the Xia family? They have a good father and a good sister.
Soon, someone from the palace came carrying a door plaque and directly replaced the three words "Zuo Xiangfu" on the door.
It was replaced by the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Soon, the sound of firecrackers was heard in front of the mansion gate, and servants and maids scattered wedding candies and money, creating a joyous atmosphere.
