Chapter 76 Father Shen's Choice
Father Shen nodded and sighed: "I made up my mind back then to let them fight, and I will only be my pure minister. Our Shen family will not take sides in this battle to seize the rightful son. In the future, if the good king cannot succeed, let the prince After successfully ascending the throne, our Shen family will be able to maintain wealth and peace by handing over military power. And if a wise king achieves great things, our Shen family will still have the same result. Unfortunately, it seems that the prince can no longer tolerate my Shen family, and it is like that again He is so stupid that if he becomes emperor in the future, it will really not be a good thing for the Shen family."
"So my father is going to support the wise king? Because if the prince ascends the throne and we don't hand over the military power, we will be in trouble. If we hand over the military power and become a toothless tiger, the prince will be narrow-minded. If the general account is calculated, the Shen family will not be able to A good death? And if the wise king ascends the throne, but the Shen family is not greedy for power, the wise king will treat the Shen family well for the sake of his own reputation!"
Seeing his father nod, Shen Qiujun said slowly: "Originally, my father planned to be neutral, but now because of the affairs of the Jin family, my father has become wary of the prince, and his heart has turned towards the wise king. As for the prince, not only all the ministers in the court If you are disappointed with him, the emperor will definitely be disappointed with the prince. The Jin family is a villain and will be punished in the future. Duan Qingzheng only has a pedantic reputation. My reputation has been ruined, and the Shen family cannot hold its head high. You can be regarded as a victim of the contest between the prince and the wise king, and after all calculations, it is the wise king who benefits the most!"
When Father Shen heard this, his eyes turned sharp and his expression became serious.
Shen Qiujun added: "If it is just because Duan Qingzheng is close to the prince, it is not an exaggeration to regard those words as an order from the prince. But after all, it cannot be concluded that it must be the prince's instigation. I think my father will not do this. That’s why I’m so afraid of the prince.”
"You guessed it right. If that's the case, my father will naturally make further observations." After saying this, Father Shen told his daughter in detail what Dong Gong said through other people's mouths.
Shen Qiujun nodded and chuckled: "It seems that it was done by someone with good intentions!"
Father Shen said: "Although the wise king's calculations are involved, it is true that the prince has a deep prejudice against me. The only solution now is to choose the lesser of two evils."
Shen Qiujun felt sad, the prince was indeed unbearable, and the person who would sit on the throne in the future would be a wise king. It was reasonable that his father would help the wise king in the end, but when he thought about his plans for himself in the past and present life, he always felt I feel unwilling to do so, but the Shen family is a big family, so how can I just let my temper go and ignore it?
Shen Qiujun leaned forward and said, "My daughter is going back first." After saying that, he walked slowly to the door. Then he turned around and asked, "Is the position of the emperor really destined by God and irrevocable? Is it true that the general, the prime minister, and the prince Hou Ning have the guts to do so?" what for?"
Father Shen smiled bitterly: "If we go back ten years, our Shen family may still have a chance, but now we can only be a loyal minister."
Shen Qiujun knew that his father would be wrong, so he couldn't help lowering his eyes and said with a faint smile: "My Shen family is naturally a loyal minister. My daughter just wants to say that Duan Qing is a member of the wise king!"
Father Shen was shocked. He hurriedly walked to his daughter and asked, "How did you know that this was true? There is no reason for the wise king to do this! Even if he may have contributed to it in the early stage, it has already reached the level of suppression. Why does he need to bother with the purpose of the prince? Forcing you to marry a scoundrel will only harm your life and discredit himself to the Shen family. What's the use? With your appearance and family background, you can naturally marry into a noble family. Yes. Wouldn’t it be more advantageous for him?”
Shen Qiujun sneered and said: "This is true. Why would my daughter talk nonsense in such an important place? Father, just believe me! Father thinks that after what happened that year, his daughter can really marry into a rich family? The wise king knows that his daughter After all, he may think that his daughter is a useless chess piece. Besides, who would have thought that designing his daughter would be related to him, so they naturally guessed that it was the prince."
Seeing that his daughter was so angry, Father Shen put aside the matter of the wise king for the time being. He patted his daughter's shoulder lovingly and advised: "Don't pay too much attention to what happened back then. There were many young girls who were separated from their families that year." , you were still a child back then, so don’t take it to heart! If a man only focuses on these trivial matters, he is not a real man, so don’t forget about it. And this time, the Jin family’s incident, at this time, the aristocratic family also If you know the truth, you don’t have to worry anymore.”
Shen Qiujun said helplessly: "My daughter understands!" After saying that, she bowed again and left the study. As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, she heard a "hula" in the study, and there seemed to be the sound of tables and chairs breaking, and there were boys. Walking into the study, Shen Qiujun thought for a while, sighed softly, and went to the backyard.
In the study, the boys were cleaning up the broken desk, while Father Shen stood with his hands on his hands, standing outside the window, watching his daughter walk away, but the anger in his heart still could not be calmed down.
He thought that the wise king might just stand by and watch in order to force him to make a choice, but if what his daughter said was true, things would not be that simple.
If the virtuous king really planned to frame his daughter, how could he be willing to be swayed by the virtuous king again?
That's all, let them fight. The prince is not a wise king, and the wise king is also a villain. The other princes may not benefit from it. Just for the reputation of the queen's mother's family, there is really no need for him to accompany the Shen family. Why don't we just stay on the sidelines and watch the show without helping anyone?
No matter which prince ascends to the throne in the future, the Shen family will have no merit or fault, but their wealth and life will be worry-free!
Father Shen made some calculations in his mind, and wondered whether Li'er knew the truth in this matter, and what tricks did she use in it?
People from the Shen family are naturally good. Father Shen shook his head repeatedly: Li'er must not have known that the wise king was plotting against Qiu'er, otherwise with the way she loves her sister, she would not let it go!
When Father Shen was reassuring himself that his children valued affection, Shen Zhaoning came to see his father.
Seeing that the study was in a mess, Shen Zhaoning had a good guess, so he stepped forward and said carefully: "I met Mr. Jin outside the East Palace today!"
When Father Shen heard this, he looked at his son and said yes. Shen Zhaoning then said: "I gave him a good beating! Because he was on duty, he was fined half a year's salary and spent a month at home in front of the wall. "
Father Shen asked: "When you beat someone, didn't anyone in the East Palace stand up for you?"
Shen Zhaoning snorted: "The prince is the most unreliable. He is a useless old dog. How can you care about him anymore! When he went to see the prince today, he was kicked out. He is also very stupid. The prince is at this time of year. How can I meet him?"
When Father Shen saw his son talking like an old dog and an idiot, he felt a terrible pain in his heart.
Either the Shen family has been manipulated by the wise king, and it is still useful now, but he can't keep his daughter. When he succeeds in his great cause, the Shen family will still have to be manipulated by him, or it is because of the queen's mother's family getting some glory. So what, by then I might be just a useless old dog in his eyes.
Not to mention how he looked in the eyes of the wise king, how could he, who was the overlord of one side, endure such a tone?
The game between men is not a matter of life and death, but it is a matter of plotting against an innocent and kind-hearted girl in the back house. The character of the virtuous king and the prince are indistinguishable from each other.
Father Shen sighed deeply. He shouldn't have married his daughter into the royal family back then. It was all because the queen's destiny was imprinted on the old lady's heart. She just agreed to it. Otherwise, she would be like the Duke of Dingguo, staying out of the matter. Carefree and comfortable, people without long-term worries must have immediate worries.
When Shen Zhaoning saw that his father was only thinking about him, and expected that his father was not in the mood to lecture him, he quietly left the room.
Shen Zhaoning went into the inner house to see his mother again, and saw his sister sitting there. Mother and son were comforting each other.
After saying hello, he winked at Shen Qiujun.
Shen Qiujun left in a hurry and left his mother's yard with his brother.
Shen Zhaoning whispered to his sister: "I gave that old dog Jin a good beating today, and I breathed a little sigh of relief. When the Sixth Prince comes back and solves this case, Jin Er will also have to deal with it! This I haven't been able to find an opportunity in a few days to teach that dog a lesson. I have nothing to do now. If the worst happens, I will block the door of his house. I will definitely give him an unforgettable lesson. I will vent my anger on my sister. Don't think that our Hou Mansion has nothing to do. People, let others bully you."
Shen Qiujun held the whip in his hand, with a cold light in his eyes, and sneered: "You can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife, and teach Duan Qingzheng a lesson. If I don't bother my brother, I have to teach him personally to relieve the hatred in my heart! I want to Let him understand that if a daughter of my Shen family wants to hit someone, it cannot be stopped by just a few servants!"
Shen Zhaoning said hurriedly: "Sister, what you said is obvious. You are bullied. As a brother, I will give him a good beating, not only to vent my anger for you, but also to vent my anger. At the worst, you and I will each give him a good beating. ”
"In this way, his old life will be left in the hands of you and my brother and sister!" Shen Qiujun smiled and said seriously: "I still want to keep his old life for other purposes. Brother, don't touch it yet. he!"
Shen Zhaoning said in confusion: "How can you use that old dog? He is loyal to the prince and only wants to fight against the wise king. Now he has reached out to our Shen family. How can we let him escape unscathed? How can we fight him?" Just break one of his legs!"
Shen Qiujun's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "It is precisely because he is always against the wise king that we want to keep his life and let the wise king take care of it. Why should we dirty our hands for such a dirty thing! "
Shen Zhaoning couldn't help but squinted his eyes, looked at his sister and asked, "What do you mean by making things under the influence?"
"Who does brother think it could be?" Shen Qiujun said with a mischievous smile: "It's just that his innocence is really hateful. I can't swallow this breath, so I asked brother to help me to let out this bad breath."
Shen Zhaoning was puzzled and said with a smile: "How can I help you? I said I would help you fight a dog. If you don't agree, why don't you set fire to his house?"
