low-key is king

Chapter 131 Dear Guest!

"Who else? Think my Yan family is going to rebel?"

In the quiet Great Hall of Supreme Harmony, the voice of Da Sima Yan Rongdao resounded, pulling everyone's minds back instantly, but they dared not say a word, for fear that the Qinglong Yanyue Knife would fall towards their necks down.

"Extremely arrogant!"

This is what everyone really thinks, not all the direct descendants of the Yan family in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there are also many old ministers of the Lu family, but they really dare not speak out.

Even Prime Minister Zhao Qidong didn't say a word for a while.

He clearly knew that if he said some "inappropriate" words, he might end up in the same way as Xu Mingfeng.

The name of the prime minister is very bluffing, but now that the Yan family has no regard for anything, they dare to step on the horse and kill people, will they still care about a prime minister who has no cultivation base?

Zhao Qidong knew that he had no way to stop the ambitions of the Yan clan, he was a little disheartened, as the current prime minister, he could only watch Yan Rongdao commit murder, but he could do nothing.

"Xu Mingfeng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, speaks nonsense, causing trouble for the government, he should be punished!"

The queen Yan Chaolu who was at the head suddenly spoke, her eyes seemed to sweep over the Prime Minister Zhao Mingqi intentionally or unintentionally, and the words in her mouth made everyone feel emotional.

Obviously it was the great Sima Yan Rongdao who broke the rules first and killed the Minister of the Ministry of Officials with a single knife, but now he has become the leader of Xu Mingfeng's troubles and chaos.

"Be honest with me, if you dare to talk nonsense again, this old man Xu Mingfeng will be punished!"

Chief Sima Yan Rongdao's eyes also lingered on Zhao Mingqi's body for a moment, and after hearing his extremely arrogant words, he turned his horse's head and stepped out of the hall.

Yan Rongdao came and went in a hurry, but left a mess in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was separated from his body, but no one dared to collect the body.

The great deterrence can be seen.

"Okay, let's continue discussing the matter of Zhendong Prince's collusion with the Sea Clan?"

Empress Yan Chaolu on the dragon chair, as if nothing had happened, spoke softly again, and this time without Xu Mingfeng's "troubleshooting", the progress was naturally extremely smooth.

Originally, Yan Haosheng wanted to personally lead troops to Watanabe City to destroy the Zhendong Prince's Mansion, but Yan Chaolu didn't think it was necessary, so he finally ordered Hongshan City to appoint Yan Qingxi, the lord of Hongshan City, as General Zhengdong, in charge of this campaign.

After Xu Fengming's death, the court meeting had changed. It seemed that Prime Minister Zhao Mingqi had nothing to do with it. He didn't walk out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony until the court meeting was over.

The sun at noon outside was still bright, but in Zhao Qidong's eyes, it was full of haze, especially when he looked back and saw the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The queen did not speak, no one dared to collect Xu Mingfeng's corpse, and the detached body of the dignified official minister was just placed in the imperial hall, and it was unknown when it would be buried in the ground for safety.

As the prime minister, Zhao Qidong has nothing to do about it. Now he is just a prime minister in name, and has no real power at all.

Even Zhao Qidong knew clearly that if he made any changes, he might end up in the same fate as Xu Mingfeng. Can he go back to his prime minister's mansion today?

To Zhao Qidong's surprise, nothing strange happened on the road from the imperial palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion, allowing him to return to his Prime Minister's Mansion unimpeded all the way.

"Hehe, it might be the empress who thinks that I'm such a bad old man, so I don't have any threats anymore, right?"

Looking at the majestic "Prime Minister's Mansion" above the gate, Zhao Qidong laughed at himself, and suddenly he wanted to understand why the Yan family didn't do anything to him.

What kind of waves can a bad old man who is nearly seventy years old have to deal with? Maybe for that big Sima, or even General Huolin, he is an ant that can be killed with a single knife?

"Master Xiang, are you back?"

Inside the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a figure probed his head, and finally saw the Prime Minister standing at the door, and rushed out to greet him, but his face was rather worried.

It seems that what happened in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today has been intentionally exaggerated by the Yan clan and spread throughout the entire capital Tianyang City.

The prime minister's office was well informed, and the news came before Zhao Qidong came back.

"Master Xiang, there are distinguished guests visiting, and this old servant has arranged to wait in the guest room in the East Wing!"

The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion calmed down, remembering his purpose of coming to the door, and hearing what he said, Zhao Qidong couldn't help but raise his head, and the helpless wry smile on his face became more intense.

"It's such a time, can I still have distinguished guests in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

This is what Zhao Qidong couldn't understand. In Tianyang City, the capital of the country, there is no one who is going to curry favor with the Yan clan.

And although the word "Prime Minister's Mansion" is still extremely huge, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is just a show. They don't even know when the word "Prime Minister" will have to be taken down.

What's more, the news about the Hall of Supreme Harmony has been widely circulated today. Since the housekeeper said that he is a distinguished guest, he is not an unknown person. How could he not have heard about it?
"Master Xiang, you are the steward Yu of the International Chamber of Commerce!"

The butler was leading Zhao Qidong towards the inside, and at the same time he was already speaking. Hearing the name in his mouth, the steps of the prime minister couldn't help but stagnate slightly.

As the prime minister of Xuanyang Kingdom, how could it be possible that Zhao Qidong didn't know who Guanshi Yu of the Wan Guo Business League was?

It's just that the former prime minister's mansion only had some business dealings with the branch of the International Business Alliance.

Although the capital of Xuanyang is controlled by the royal family, there are three forces outside of this control, one of which is the All Nations Business Alliance. It is said that the backer behind it is an extremely huge fairy gate on the mountain.

The branches of the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce are all over the Qingxuan Tianxia. Almost every dynasty, every small country, and every city has its branches. It is the number one chamber of commerce alliance under the mountain, and it is also the most profitable force.

Although the three major forces of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Business Alliance, Tingxinlou and Yinshahui are located in Xuanyang, they are not controlled by Xuanyang. In terms of background alone, they are much bigger than Xuanyang.

It's just that these three major forces generally don't care about the state affairs of Xuanyang Kingdom.

Except for the Hidden Assassination Society, which doesn't follow common sense, the Wan Guo Business Alliance and Ting Xin Lou almost never took the initiative to visit the officials of Xuanyang Kingdom.

In a sense, the management of the branch of the Ten Thousand Nations Business Alliance in Tianyang City is not much different from the status of the Xuanyang King, at least the Xuanyang Kingdom dare not provoke it easily.

Zhao Qidong did not expect that when the Prime Minister's Mansion was in such a state of decline, the manager of the branch of the Wan Guo Business League would come to the door in person.

What was the reason for this, he really couldn't figure it out.

No matter how much doubts he had in his heart, Zhao Qidong didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, and followed the housekeeper to the guest room in the East Wing. As soon as he entered, he saw two figures sitting inside.

One of them was not too unfamiliar to Zhao Qidong, and it was Yu Xiangjin, the manager of the branch of the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce in Tianyang City.

I don't know if this is a real name or a fake name, but there is a kind of nobility in the name.

The manager of the branch of the International Chamber of Commerce is a woman who looks to be only about 30 years old.

Although the name is a bit vulgar, but the appearance is extremely handsome, and there is a pair of water-shearing eyes.

And beside the steward of the Wan Guo Shang Meng Yu, sat a boy in black, who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and held a black cat in his arms. In Zhao Qidong's view, it was quite strange. strangeness.

"Yuguan is a big deal, why didn't he notify in advance, Zhao has lost his way, please forgive me!"

Zhao Qidong, who stepped into the room, turned his eyes on the two of them, tried to squeeze out a smile, and then said politely.

As a prime minister, he is still very skilled at this kind of face-saving work.

"Hehe, I have admired Mr. Zhao's demeanor for a long time. I am really ashamed that I didn't visit until today. Please don't mind Mr. Zhao!"

Yu Xiangjin was also full of smiles, the two sides were talking some meaningless polite words, which made the black-clothed boy with a black cat in his arms curl his lips, secretly thinking that there are indeed some similarities between the officialdom and the shopping mall. wonderful.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing that the two were still chatting endlessly, the boy in black finally couldn't help coughing lightly, which made Yu Xiangjin turn around and smile sweetly, and also made Zhao Qidong turn his gaze.

Zhao Qidong didn't regard the young man in black as Steward Yu's follower, otherwise he wouldn't have been sitting there loudly, and with a cough, Yu Xiangjin would have shut up.

"Master Xiang, let me introduce you. This is a distinguished guest of the International Business Alliance. I came here today to introduce the two of you. You can talk slowly, and I will leave first!"

However, the few words Yuxiangjin received made Zhao Mingqi stunned, and then he really saw Yuxiangjin stand up, as if he really just came to introduce the two of them.

"Master Yu, who is this distinguished guest?"

Zhao Qidong also stood up quickly. He looked away from the black-clothed boy, and asked directly, can the distinguished guest who can make this steward Yu be called a distinguished guest be an ordinary person?
If it was Zhao Qidong, the former Prime Minister of Xuanyang Kingdom, maybe he would not be so humble, even if the other party was the steward of the Ten Thousand Nations Business Alliance, he would not think that he would be inferior.

But now, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion is in turmoil, and maybe it will be swallowed up by the Yan family at any time. Zhao Qidong's many actions must be thought about for the big family of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"In short, he is an incomparably honorable guest, please don't neglect Mr. Zhao!"

Yuxiangjin did not directly reveal the identity of the other party, but the words in his mouth contained a lot of information, which made Zhao Qidong even more shocked, and kept sending Yuxiangjin to the side of the palace gate, Only then did I turn around.
