System, help me be an empress

Chapter 23: Dog Eats Dog
Ying Yi's broadsword was still on Zhou Yuxue's neck, and at the same time he kicked towards the gate of the palace's meeting hall. This movement caused all the officials to look at the gate in panic.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Seeing Zhou Huixue's embarrassed appearance, the already heavy atmosphere suddenly became more tense.

"Eunuch Zhou, it seems that all the officials in the court care about you?" Xu Youxi's voice had already entered the hall before he arrived.

"Old slave, this old slave brought Princess Tianyou to discuss matters. This matter is related to the new emperor, how can there be no master! If Princess Tianyou does not come to the council, the chief of ceremonies will be the first to refuse!" Zhou Yuxue knelt down beside him. On the ground, while speaking in a sharp voice, he tried hard to keep a safe distance between himself and the big knife.

"Eunuch Zhou is worthy of being a person valued by both the emperor and the emperor. He thinks about the royal family all the time." Xu Youxi seemed to be satisfied with Zhou Yuxue's answer, and looked boldly at the officials, "Why do you look at me like this? Do you all still think that I forced Eunuch Zhou to say this?"

Zhou Huixue has a strong desire to survive: "Every word of this old slave comes from the heart. Her Royal Highness is benevolent and kind. It is absolutely impossible to persecute this old slave!"

Minister of Civil and Military Affairs: If there is no knife on your neck, we really believe it.

Xu Youxi strode forward, and the two rows of officials automatically gave way, until they reached the upper position, Xu Youxi also sat down unceremoniously.

"Who is the chief minister of the cabinet, Bao Changnian? Stand up, and you can say the result of your discussion."

Bao Changnian was already at the top of the list. At this time, he bowed slightly and saluted, neither humble nor overbearing: "Princess, the officials are still discussing, but they all agree that no matter what the price is, the saint will be taken back to the palace first."

Xu Youxi was sitting on the high seat, and Ying Yi held Zhou Yuxue hostage and walked to Xu Youxi's side.Although the knife is now on Zhou Kuixue's neck, it is actually blatantly threatening all officials.

"My lord Shoufu said so, so I will feel at ease. But I still have a doubt, I hope Lord Shoufu can answer it?"

"The princess speaks seriously, but the minister will definitely know everything."

"Your Excellency, Chief Assistant, you know what 'disaster comes from your mouth'!" Xu Youxi slammed down the cup on the table, fragments of the porcelain cup fell everywhere, the tea leaves stuck to the ground, and the water in the cup flowed from top to bottom.

Bao has been able to hold the position of chief assistant for many years, so naturally he has experienced many storms. Although he respects the princess on the surface, he may still secretly despise her somewhere in his heart.

"Princess, Bao has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, I don't know what the princess means by this."

"I don't know what you mean? Then I will count your sins." Xu Youxi sneered, "Just now Bao Shoufu said bluntly that no matter what the price is, he will take the saint back to the palace. What Wala wants, you and I will not I know very well that Bao Shoufu's implication is that he intends to hand over the Dagan country to foreigners?"

"Bao Shoufu intends to betray the country, and everyone here has also seen it. I am also willing to believe that Bao Shoufu is a noble character, but after all, seeing is believing. I believe that Dali Temple will be able to find out the truth in the future."

To be honest, before Xu Youxi rushed in, these civil servants had only just started discussing, and they hadn't come up with any results at all.

It's just that the princess came rushing forward, and everyone subconsciously felt that she was afraid that the officials would not save the new emperor and chose to protect the country, so she came here to find fault.

What Bao Shoufu said just now was just perfunctory for her to leave quickly. The ministers could see that Bao Shoufu was perfunctory, so they were naturally willing to cooperate in acting. Why couldn't Xu Youxi see through?
Okay.

You have to be perfunctory!

Just roll to Dali Temple, eat prison food and slowly perfunctory!

Among the officials present at this time, Zhou Yuxue was probably the only one who felt better. Ever since Xu Youxi asked the shadow guard to put the knife on his neck, Zhou Yuxue realized almost instantly that this princess was not a kind person at all. stubble!
There is no one who is not afraid of death, with a knife on his neck, he has given up anyway.

Bao Changnian didn't expect Xu Youxi to say that, and immediately pointed the finger at him, but he has always done things smoothly, even just now he left a way out for himself: "Princess misunderstood, the saint I mentioned is naturally far away in the south of the Yangtze River. The Supreme Emperor who treats illnesses. As long as the Supreme Emperor returns to Beijing, someone will naturally take charge of the overall situation. The new emperor has caused serious troubles, so how can I dare to speak rashly."

Xu Youxi despises people who think they are smart enough to fool others at will.

Okay, you're smart, but she wants to see if smart people will bite dogs.

Xu Youxi then showed a gentle smile: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. I naturally trust Bao Shoufu's character. It's all because I am young and always listen to slander. By the way, Eunuch Zhou, you just told me that I won't believe the evidence about Bao Shoufu. If you lied to me, then we can settle the matter."

"..."

God, what evidence.

What story is this ancestor making up again!
Zhou Huixue suddenly felt dizzy, why did he take the initiative to provoke this princess, the highness in front of him is forcing him to have a relationship with Bao Shoufu today, and one of them must die!

Zhou Yuxue gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. If the chief minister of the cabinet was offended, he would be offended. At this moment, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to save his life, there seemed to be only one way left, which was to surrender to Xu Youxi.

"Reporting to the princess, Bao Shoufu and..."

Before Zhou Huixue could say anything, Bao Changnian suddenly knelt down: "Princess, this year in the year of Jingcha, I will reveal all my sins to the saint one by one. Your Highness boasted a lot, and I know that I am guilty, but I hope your Highness will solve it first." Now that I am in a hurry, I will do more research, I am grateful, and I am sure that I will die forever."

It's no wonder that someone who can be the chief assistant of the cabinet can bend and stretch.

Xu Youxi looked at Bao Changniangao a few times at this moment, but her goal of 'strengthening power' had already been achieved.She knew in her heart that even if she really wanted to touch Bao Changnian, now was definitely not the best time.

"It's just a few jokes, Master Bao, why do you take it seriously? Please hurry up, Mr. Zhou, you said you are too serious." Xu Youxi reached out and pressed Ying a knife in front of Zhou Yuxue's neck, "Can everyone Minister, where did the discussion just go? Please continue, whoever has a good opinion on how to deal with Wala can put it forward. Although the father and mother have gone to the south of the Yangtze River, but the affairs of the palace, the palace can still take some decisions. "

Don't look at Xu Youxi as if he didn't do anything, just in a few words, she almost provoked a big battle between the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies; I thought this matter would be difficult to end, but in the end, she made another light joke Overwhelmed, at least the balance on the surface is stabilized.

This battle, Xu Youxi undoubtedly did a good job.

It not only made Zhou Hui learn to surrender, but also made the chief minister of the cabinet no longer dare to be perfunctory.

"Princess, Meng Zhiqian, Minister of the Minister's Ministry of War, has a little opinion." A tall middle-aged man stood up. Meng Zhiqian had regular features, bright eyes, restrained demeanor, and calm speech.

"I've heard about your name for a long time." Xu Youxi got up and bowed slightly, "Master Meng was the governor of Shanxi and Henan in his early years, and all the local people praised you for your integrity."

"Princess is overrated." Meng Zhiqian said calmly, "I feel that although the most urgent task at this time is to save the Holy Majesty from the Oirats, if the Oirats have evil intentions, we must not give in on the issue of our family and country."

"Princess, Qin Jian, the left servant of the Ministry of Ministers and Officials." The officials behind all followed Meng Zhiqian's name first, "Perhaps the princess doesn't know something. Your Majesty took away all the troops that could be mobilized in the capital and its surrounding areas this time. The frontier fortress was defeated and the entire army of 40 was wiped out, which shows how powerful Oala is. If they take advantage of the victory and pursue them and go directly north, according to my humble opinion, going to Beijing is in danger."
