After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

After a while.

Yi Xiang's carriage slowly stopped outside the north gate of Liaocheng.

Following behind were the two carriages of Prime Minister Meng and Minister Wei.

After that, it was the people from Anshanwei who escorted the two prime ministers.

Because all the officials in the court said on the surface that they wanted to stick to the principle of talking whenever possible, not many people came from Anshanwei openly.

I estimate there are about three to five hundred people.

The team was led by the commander of Anshanwei, Qiu Sheng.

He received news from his father-in-law, the Minister of War, Cheng Qi, and selected three to five hundred elites overnight, saying that they were here to protect the two prime ministers and a minister.

The rest.

He has asked his men to assemble the troops, and the main force will arrive at the outskirts of Liaocheng tonight and join forces with the private soldiers of Prince Qi's Mansion.

The people in Prince Qi's Palace have basically figured out the terrain of Liaocheng.

Regardless of whether the three adults can reach an agreement with Prince Kang’s Mansion, the Emperor must leave Liaocheng tonight.

No matter whether the person coming out is alive or dead.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer.

It is said that Prince Ning's troops have already been assembled.

If this drags on, the King of Qi will miss the opportunity.

.........

Naturally, the two prime ministers were unaware of the arrangements for tonight.

Only Minister Wei knew something about this matter.

The old ministers in the court are used to acting, so even though they knew there would be a life-and-death battle tonight, Minister Wei still got off the carriage with a calm face.

Then he walked slowly to Yi Xiang and said calmly: "Yi Xiang, everything depends on you."

Yi Xiang didn't say anything.

He stroked his beard, looked up at the tower, and muttered, "Is this tower newly built? Fortunately, it didn't look like this before."

After saying that, he turned and looked at Meng Xiang.

"Why are you looking at me? How would I know if Liaocheng has a new city wall?"

Meng Xiang and Yi Xiang had never gotten along well, and he had a lot on his mind at the moment, so he was even less in a good mood.

"Isn't Meng Xiang's nephew the prefect of Liaocheng now? Has he never mentioned this to you?" Yi Xiang asked expressionlessly.

"Shouldn't our top priority now be to talk to His Royal Highness Prince Kang?" Meng Xiang said unhappily, "Is this the time to worry about the city wall?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yi Xiang glanced at Meng Xiang, "I didn't say that your nephew might have known that King Kang wanted to... so he built a new city wall, and it was higher than the average city wall, and it seemed that it was extended quite a distance outside the city."

"........You didn't say it?! You said it now, didn't you?!" Meng Xiang jumped up and down, "Yi Zhaojie, stop slandering me at this time!"

".......Look, look, I didn't say anything, why are you so anxious, Minister Meng?" Yi Xiang said again in an ambiguous tone.

You old fool.

Are you playing this trick?

Meng Xiang suddenly smiled sinisterly, "It's not urgent, but since Yi Xiang mentioned it, I have something I want to ask you.

A few days ago, someone wrote to the Censorate, saying that your eldest son embezzled a lot of relief grain and relief funds from the Ministry of Revenue when he went out to provide disaster relief the year before last. I wonder if this is true?"

"......Nonsense!!!" Yi Xiang shook his wide sleeves, "Who wrote the letter? How dare you slander an official of the imperial court? You are so bold!"

"Don't be anxious, Yi Xiang. You have to explain this matter in a nice way if it makes sense." Meng Xiang put his hands into his sleeves and said lightly.

Yi Xiang was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wei Shangshu, "My two ministers, we didn't come here to quarrel!

You two should think of a way to get the people on the tower to open the door for us to come in and welcome the emperor back to the palace!"

"If you can do it, go ahead," Yi Xiang glanced at Minister Wei, "You are good at assigning tasks. Are you the Prime Minister or am I the Prime Minister?!"

".......No, Yixiang, it's meaningless if you say that......"

The three adults each have their own camp.

Everyone thought to themselves, the prince I’m counting on will not lose! !

If you lose, you'll just die.

So suddenly no one was convinced by anyone else.

The city gates weren't even opened yet, but three people started arguing outside.

Ji Chongning, who was standing on the tower, asked the Crown Prince of Kang, "What are they arguing about?"

"I can't hear clearly." Prince Kang shook his head.

"I have sent people to investigate," Song Ke said calmly, "the two prime ministers are arguing about their son and nephew.

What Minister Wei and Yi Xiang were arguing about was whether the Ministry of Personnel was the head of the Six Ministries.

Prime Minister Meng and Minister Wei...didn't quarrel."

"Are they sick?" Ji Chongning asked Song Ke with a frown.

Song Ke didn't answer, but just raised his eyebrows slightly and shrugged.

"How about we greet them first?" Prince Kang suggested, "Otherwise, we don't know how long these three sophistry masters will continue arguing."

"Okay," Ji Chongning nodded, "Prince, you go and call."

"What do you mean I should shout? Isn't it you..." Prince Kang stopped talking halfway.

Because he suddenly remembered that if this thing succeeded, Ji Chongning would be that thing in the future.

Of course, if that doesn't work out, we can just form a group on the road to the underworld, which can actually be quite lively.

But it would be best if you don't die.

Thinking about it this way, Prince Kang felt that his desire for Ji Chongning to ascend the throne was still very strong.

So he changed the subject, clasped his fists towards Ji Chongning and said, "Okay, then I'll make the call!"

After saying this, he wanted to lift up his long gown and walk towards the front horse.

pity.

The prince forgot that he was wearing armor today.

He lifted her gown twice but failed to do so.

He looked down, then said "Oh~~" as if he suddenly realized something, and then took a step forward.

Song Ke sighed behind him.

"What are you sighing about?" Ji Chongning asked.

"Is your plan too hasty? If a war really breaks out now, there will be less than three people in the whole Liaocheng who can be used." Song Ke said.

"This is a complicated matter." Ji Chongning's expression suddenly darkened. "The original plan was not like this. If I say that I have no obsession with the throne, do you believe me?"

"I don't believe it." Song Ke answered simply.

"You are really annoying." Ji Chongning also said.

"Thank you, Master Wen..."

Before Song Ke could utter the word "compliment", he heard Prince Kang in front of him shouting, "Hey!!! Two Prime Ministers!!! And... forget it.

Let the two Prime Ministers come forward and speak first!"

"Forget it?!" Wei Shangshu pointed at his nose and asked Meng Xiang in disbelief, "I am the one who forgets it?!"

"Anyway, I'm not." Meng Xiang shrugged at Minister Wei, then took the first step and walked towards the city gate.

Yi Xiang glanced at Minister Wei and said, "Then you wait here for a while."

After saying this, he glanced up and down at Minister Wei twice, then quickly followed Prime Minister Meng and walked forward.

To overtake him, you must go past him, Yi Xiang is walking very fast.

Minister Wei stood there and thought for a while, no matter what, I might become the prime minister tomorrow.

What does it matter whether he is a prince or not? He might become a corpse at night!

Why are you afraid of him?!

The government is about to be turned upside down, and Minister Wei will be the right prime minister in the future!

After some self-encouragement, Minister Wei suddenly became full of confidence in his future.

So he didn't care whether Prince Kang called him or not. He took big steps and followed the footsteps of the two prime ministers.

Seeing the three people moving forward, Qiu Sheng, who was behind them, was about to catch up on horseback.

But after taking only two steps, an arrow flew and stuck three or four steps away from Qiu Sheng's horse.

Qiu Sheng instantly drew out the long sword from his waist.

Then the prince of Kang on the city wall shouted, "In order not to disturb the emperor, no one is allowed to enter the city without an imperial decree!!"

The three gentlemen walking in front were, no, ministers. Although they were officials appointed by the imperial court, none of them had ever been to the battlefield.

The sudden rain of arrows just now scared the three of them so much that their faces changed.

Even though they knew that Prince Kang was not targeting the three of them, swords have no eyes!

If any arrow missed the target, wouldn't they die here today?

The three of them turned around at the same time, and Meng Xiang angrily shouted at Qiu Sheng behind him:

"Did I tell you to follow me?! Huh?! Just stand there and wait!! Don't move without my order!!"

Qiu Sheng raised his knife and said gloomily, "My three lords, aren't you afraid that you will be left without protection and that Prince Kang will arrest you again?"

Ah, this......

A hint of doubt instantly appeared on Yi Xiang's face.

Looking at the crazy look on Prince Kang’s face, this matter... is really hard to say.

Minister Wei, who insisted on going with them, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He wondered if he would lose face if he went back now.

"Since you two are afraid, don't go! I, Meng, am willing to sacrifice my life to invite the emperor back to the court!!!"

After saying this, Meng Xiang lifted up his long gown and continued walking forward with big strides.

Looking at his back, if you didn't know him, you would really think he died heroically.

In fact...from the front, this person's smile is as beautiful as a flower.

It's so funny. They are all afraid of being detained, but Meng Yangzhou is not afraid.

Because he is in cahoots with the people in the city!

Seeing that Meng Xiang had walked forward, Yi Xiang, as the right prime minister, thought again and again and felt that no matter what he lost, he must not lose his momentum.

So he followed again.

What else can Wei Shangshu do when he is stuck in a difficult situation? !

He could only follow.

Isn't the purpose of living a life just to live on a skin? !

........It doesn’t seem so.

The purpose of living is to live.

What's the importance of skin?!

Minister Wei, who suddenly felt that his life was more important than his skin, stopped following and turned around to go back.

But Qiu Sheng was holding a knife behind him, looking at him with a dark face.

Then, without a word, he began to spatula.

Minister Wei immediately turned around and quickly chased after the two prime ministers.
