The eldest son is fierce

South Warehouse.

The ministers were speechless when they saw Emperor Yanwen and Tang Yi standing not far away, shoulder to shoulder, whispering like good brothers.

One second you were talking about killing and exile, and the next second you two, the king and his ministers, were chatting about it. Are you treating us like air?

And could you two please not chat in front of so many people? It makes us panic when you chat like this!

This time, the food shortage in Kyoto directly harmed nearly ten core members of the Prime Minister's party. How many people do you want to kill next time by plotting so blatantly?

"Hahaha...you little bastard, you have a pretty big heart."

"However, if I like it, I'll leave it to you. I'll go back to the palace and wait for news."

After chatting for a while, Emperor Yanwen's laughter spread throughout Nancang. All the ministers saw that Emperor Yanwen's face turned red with excitement, and he kept patting Tang Yi's shoulders to show encouragement. The ministers suddenly became even more panicked.

So, what did you talk about?

Although they didn't know what they were talking about specifically, they always had a bad feeling.

It feels like something big is going to happen!

The ministers looked at each other in confusion, wanting to go over and listen, but Emperor Yanwen and Tang Yi had already finished their conversation.

Emperor Yanwen looked at Qi Wendao deeply, then returned to the palace with his hands behind his back under the protection of the Imperial Guard.

Just this last look instantly made many ministers feel relieved.

Oh, it’s not directed against us, it’s a conspiracy against the Prime Minister’s party!

That's fine, we can just sit back and watch the fight.

"Lord Zhongyong, the Ministry of Personnel still has many matters to attend to. I will take my leave."

"Lord of Loyalty and Bravery, goodbye."

"..."

After the emperor left, a group of ministers bowed to Tang Yi and turned to leave.

"Okay, okay, thank you all for your hard work. Come and play often!"

Tang Yi was very enthusiastic and returned the greeting with a smile.

As soon as the ministers turned around, they couldn't help but stumble.

Come play often? I can't afford to play with you!

Those who played with you were either dead or exiled, and we don’t want to follow in their footsteps.

Only Qi Wendao was still kneeling on the ground. He stood up tremblingly after all the ministers had left.

Tang Yi looked at him, the smile on his face gradually fading. "Congratulations! This one plan of yours has directly killed nearly ten high-ranking officials of the Prime Minister's faction. But don't be too proud. You need to keep up the good work."

"Next time, cooperate with me to wipe out all the Zhao Party!"

Qi Wendao had just stood firm when he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

It was obvious that he had been fooled by Emperor Yanwen and this bastard, but now he was acting as if he and they had teamed up to betray the Prime Minister and his gang.

"The person who worked for me should have been arrested by you, right?"

"Why don't you let him come out and identify me? Or do you think you can control me by keeping this handle?"

Qi Wendao's face was gloomy and his voice was cold.

Tang Yi turned his head to look at him, his face full of shock: "Old man Qi, do you think too highly of yourself? Or do you think too highly of me? To control you, do I need any evidence against you?"

"You..." Qi Wendao was furious.

He is the Minister of Rites, in charge of the world's etiquette and laws, and has tremendous power, but now he is looked down upon by a young man.

"Okay, don't get so excited. It's not good for your health."

Tang Yi curled his lips and said, "Since you want to know why I didn't identify you, then I'll tell you."

"First, because you're easy to deal with. If I kill you, Fan Yong will give us a new opponent. A familiar opponent is always better than an unfamiliar enemy."

"Second, I'm using a strategy of sowing discord. In a few days, you'll hear some gossip that you and I have secretly colluded to kill the high-ranking officials of the Prime Minister's faction."

"By then, how many of the Prime Minister's party members will still believe you?"

Hearing this, Qi Wendao was stunned.

Just now he was feeling a little relieved that Tang Yi didn't accuse him in public, but Tang Yi's words now were like a bucket of cold water, chilling him to the core.

It turns out that Tang Yi didn't forget.

He is plotting a bigger conspiracy.

This bastard wants to ruin his reputation.

As long as Tang Yi's so-called gossip spreads, and combined with today's events, who in the Prime Minister's party would dare to believe him?

"You little thief, you, you...you are shameless!"

Qi Wendao pointed at Tang Yi and was so angry that he almost suffocated and died on the spot.

Tang Yi smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you for the compliment."

After he finished speaking, he pointed at the door and said, "Your role has been exhausted now, you can get out of here now. Damn you for causing trouble for me time and time again. If you were ten years younger, I would let you feel the strength of my fist!"

Qi Wendao was extremely angry, but he could only endure it and turned around and left Nancang.

As soon as Qi Wendao left, Zhou Fanghuai and Liu Gongqing, who had been waiting outside, immediately ran over in a servile manner.

"Sir, do you have any instructions? I will go through fire and water for you." Zhou Fanghuai stopped in front of Tang Yi and immediately said with a flattering face.

Tang Yi raised his hand and patted Zhou Fanghuai on the shoulder, saying, "Old Zhou, I have some bad news for you. You must hold on..."

"No, sir, I cannot bear it."

"How about you, sir, give me some time?"

Zhou Fanghuai was so frightened that his legs went weak. Didn’t he know the character of his master?

The things he encountered were all big things. If it happened to an ordinary person, he would have died eight hundred times.

Tang Yi slapped Zhou Fanghuai on the back of the head and said unhappily, "Be a little more promising, okay? I want to tell you, congratulations, you've been promoted."

"From now on, you are the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture."

Zhou Fanghuai suddenly raised his head and stared at Tang Yi with his small eyes, which were filled with shock and astonishment, as well as excitement that was difficult to conceal.

He spent more than ten years in Jingzhao Prefecture before he became a head of the Household Department.

As a result, after working with Tang Yi for less than a month, he was promoted to Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture!

Shao Yin! From the fourth rank.

It turns out that if you follow the right person, your hard work will be really useful!

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."

Zhou Fanghuai was so excited that his eyes turned red. Dad, my son has finally made it and become a fourth-rank official.

His knees softened, and he immediately knelt down in front of Tang Yi: "Sir, no words can express my gratitude, I'd better kowtow to you..."

But before he could kneel down, Tang Yi held him up and said, "Old Zhou, we are one family. You are looking down on me by doing this and not treating me as one of your own."

"Besides, what's the big deal about being a fourth-rank Jingzhao Yin? With me here, as long as you work hard, you can become a third-rank, second-rank official, or even a first-rank official in the future."

"Then think about it, how many times do you have to kneel down for me?"

When Zhou Fanghuai heard this, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost floated away.

Do I, Zhou Fanghuai, also have the potential to become a prime minister of a country?

The corners of Liu Gongqing's mouth were twitching violently. His little nephew was fooling people again.

After taking a look at Tang Jing, who was slumped on the ground with lifeless eyes, the disdain on Liu Gongqing's face suddenly became even stronger.

Oh, Tang Jing, you never imagined it! You'd end up like this!

The son you despise the most is from the Liu family, the emperor, and even the nobleman of the entire Dayan!

And you have been a joke from beginning to end!

"Okay, enough of the small talk."

Tang Yi patted Zhou Fanghuai on the shoulder and got back to the point, "Now you must immediately take some grain from the South Warehouse and sell it to the people of Kyoto at the market price."

"The wealthy families in Kyoto are buying back grain at high prices, hoarding it and hoping to make a fortune."

"Then I'll make them spit out all the food to me at a price below market price!"
