Chapter 34
: Give a sweet date with a slap (3)
"We didn't lose money on the Seventh Princess, and we might even make some money."
Su Er walked in.
These words mean a lot.
Make a buck?
General Su suddenly calmed down and urged Su Er to speak quickly.
"How did you make money?"
Father Su and Uncle Su also looked at Su Er.
Second Uncle Su was also a little curious, "Xiao Er, how do you explain this?"
Su Er walked to the lower end, lifted his robe and sat down, then said: "Grandfather, uncle, second uncle, father, think about it, now that Concubine Shu is pregnant, who should be the most anxious? The Emperor is in the prime of his life, if Concubine Shu is pregnant
This fetus is a prince, who is the greatest threat?"
With just this short sentence, General Su and Father Su understood instantly.
Concubine Shu and Queen Yao, the one they should be worried about the most is naturally the Yao family, which has always been hostile to the Zhao family, and the threat is naturally to the prince.
It is impossible for Duke Zhao not to have thought of this. Under such a situation, he would still go against his Su family. That old fox, Duke Zhao...
"Xiao Er, what you are saying is that it was not Duke Zhao's idea to restore the Seventh Princess to the title of princess, but Concubine Shu who made the decision without authorization."
Uncle Su asked immediately.
Su Er nodded: "Yes, although the Zhao family and my Su family don't get along in court, there is no big conflict between our two families in private. Now that Concubine Shu is pregnant, the Yao family will definitely regard her as a thorn in their side. If
At this time, the Zhao family offended my Su family again...
Moreover, there is also the matter of the younger sister's marriage, and the fourth prince has already taken action. Although the prince and the others did not move because of the little sister's trouble, it cannot be said that the prince will not take action. Seeing that the fourth prince finally won the younger sister's heart,
This is not the prince's temperament.
But if the prince marries the younger sister in the end, then my Su family and Yao family will unite, which will be a fatal threat to the Zhao family. Grandpa, Duke Zhao is not so stupid, so he will not act at this juncture.
Something like that.”
"ha…"
Old General Su burst out laughing and stroked his beard.
"Understood."
Eyes full of red light.
"Concubine Shu has such a plan for my Su family. Zhao Wenjian will definitely come to visit within a few days. I have to save my anger for then. The Yao family is watching behind the Zhao family. Zhao Wenjian definitely doesn't want to have a grudge with my Su family at this time.
On the contrary, he has to please me.
Zhao Wenjian, that old fox, has always looked down on this reckless man like me, saying that his behavior is vulgar and vulgar, but this time I took the opportunity to be arrogant, hahaha, Zhao Wenjian, I am just sitting back and waiting to be arrogant, hahahahaha.
"
How happy General Su was, how gloomy Zhao Guogong was now.
In the study room.
The cup on the table fell angrily, with a crashing sound, and the tea splashed and stained the kneeling middle-aged man's court uniform. As soon as he came back, he had not even changed out of his court uniform when he was called to the study by his father.
A reprimand.
"Father, Luo Ling has been losing weight day by day in the past two months. My sister is even more worried about this and can't eat. It's been more than two months now. Luo Ling's punishment should be enough. Besides, the emperor is also determined to restore Princess Luo Ling. Son
I don’t think I have done anything wrong. Father, you are just too cautious. What’s more, my sister is pregnant with the emperor’s heir again..."
Seeing Zhao Guogong's eyes wide open with such anger, Zhao Shangshu really couldn't understand.
Even though the Su family is the general's palace, it holds Yunlang's military power, but Yunlang's surname is always Yun, not Su. What's more, the Zhao family is a relative of the emperor, and the daughter of the Zhao family is even more popular as Concubine Shu, who is favored by pilgrims.
She is pregnant and carrying the blood of the emperor.
Once my sister gives birth to a prince again, his Zhao family will definitely reach a higher level. The Su family is a noble family, comparable to Prince Yun's family, but his Zhao family is not bad at all, and they are the fourth generation noble family in Yunlang.
He really couldn't understand why his father was so afraid of the Su family.
"You bastard, you are ignorant."
Duke Zhao's eyes were filled with blazing anger. Looking at his son who still didn't know where he was wrong, he was so angry that he really wanted to kick this useless bastard to death.
He, Zhao Wenjian, was smart and steady throughout his life, so why did he give birth to two such ignorant children?
"Does the Su family have a daughter who is an imperial concubine? Does the Su family have a grandson who is an imperial grandson? Is there any conflict of interest with my Zhao family? If you offend the Su family and now have such grudges with the Su family, where do you want to push the Su family?
You bastard, if you can’t even figure this out, don’t say he is my son, Zhao Wenjian.”
Guangxiu flicked her sleeves, slammed the door and left. After walking out of the study, she said to the housekeeper, "Go and tell the noble concubine to send her good daughter to the palace for her father-in-law. She is not allowed to come back before the New Year."
"No, sir, I'll go right away."
The housekeeper responded quickly and left in a hurry.
After walking far away, he sighed. He could figure out something, but why couldn't the master figure it out? This matter was really done...
Offending the Su family at this juncture is not about pushing the Su family towards the prince and the Yao family. If General Su directly marries his granddaughter to the prince in a rage, even if the imperial concubine gives birth to a prince...
well!
As happy as General Su, there was another family, the Yao family.
Prime Minister Yao.
In the same study room, there is the same father and son, but they are in harmony.
Prime Minister Yao Fuyue and his son.
The father and son each held a cup in their hands, with smiles on their faces.
All bring out fine lines at the corners of the eyes.
"Father, the Zhao family has really dug its own grave this time. Duke Zhao was shrewd and cautious in everything he did, but the two children he gave birth to were so ignorant that he offended the Su family at this juncture."
"If Concubine Shu was smart, she would not have sent her own son to Da Qin as a hostage. In the royal family, the mother has always been valued based on her son. Now that she is pregnant again, whether she will survive or not is another question..."
Prime Minister Yao was stroking his beard and stroking his gray hair from the temples, knowing his destiny. Judging from the wisdom and clarity in his blue eyes, he was also a man with a deep mind.
"The Zhao family has now offended the Su family again. With Su Hong's old man's bad temper, the fourth prince can no longer hope for Su Rao's heart. This may be the emperor's warning to the fourth prince. The fourth prince's cleverness has already angered the emperor.
Prince, who doesn’t want to climb the dragon chair, but the fourth prince is too impatient after all. Now it is in our favor, and it’s time for the prince to take action..."
Inside the Shaoxing Palace.
Mo Ying also talked to Prince Yi about the restoration of the status of the seventh princess today. They were more concerned about Emperor Yu's purpose of doing this.
"Your Majesty, what do you think Yunlang, the Yu Emperor, wants to do when he resumes his position as the Seventh Princess?"
"The Su family and the Zhao family, the civil servants and the generals, restrain each other within the court, but they are all the way of the emperor and the strategy of checks and balances."
Prince Yi holds the cup in his hand, his auspicious phoenix eyes are cold and thoughtful.
Light flows inside, but it flows without moving.
It seems that Yun Lang is not as calm as he appears on the surface, and the new Yu Emperor does not trust the Su family as much as the outside world reports.
The fact that the Su family held Yunlang's military power was too eye-catching. No matter how much Emperor Yu trusted the Su family, he would still be wary of it.
The seventh princess of Yunlang was demoted as county head. It seemed that Emperor Yu valued the Su family, but in fact it was Emperor Yu's trick to create conflict between the Zhao and Su families.
Now that Concubine Shu is pregnant and the Seventh Princess is restored to her status as princess, this conflict will be intensified. The Su family is now aggrieved and will blame most of their anger on the Zhao family.
Mo Ying nodded, but still didn't quite understand. "The Yunlang Zhao family and the Su family have always been at odds with each other. According to what the prince said, Emperor Yu's actions only deepened the conflict between the Su and Zhao families, and nothing else.
The benefits, and the fact that Emperor Yunlangyu can easily resume her status as the seventh princess will chill the Su family."
Prince Yi can't figure this out at the moment, and is thinking about it again in his cold eyes.
"Furthermore, Your Majesty, the Yunlang Zhao family has a pampered Concubine Shu, who raises a fourth prince, while the Yunlang Yao family has a Queen Yao who lives in the middle palace, and her son is the crown prince of the Yunlang Kingdom.
Logically speaking, the Zhao and Yao families are bound to be incompatible with each other, so Emperor Yu should intensify the conflict between the Zhao and Yao families. Why should the contest between the crown prince and the fourth prince be between the Zhao and Su families?"
"The new Emperor Yunlang is good at understanding the art of the emperor. Everything he does must have a special reason, but I haven't thought of it yet."
Prince Yi shook his head.
I don't know.
"You should investigate this matter secretly."
Mo Ying nodded in agreement, and just as he was about to leave, Prince Yi suddenly said:
"Can Mr. Xiao be found?"
This time, there was a dark and strange feeling in Prince Yi's voice.
The breath suddenly felt heavy.
Mo Ying paused, his face suddenly turned ugly.
"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent and there is no trace of them yet."
Inside the hall, there was silence.
"Has Master Huishan arrived at Yunlang?"
I never blamed Mo Ying for his incompetence in doing things.
Mo Ying replied again:
"Your Majesty, Master Huishan has returned."
