The arrival of Liu Changfeng and a thousand soldiers in the palace made Su Cheng and Shen Youwei busy.
Of course, Chen Youwei is busy with training. After all, it will be the imperial examination in five days. These soldiers in the palace have to go to the on-site guards and have to improve the combat effectiveness of these people first.
Su Chengdi was even busier. He had to go to the examination room to investigate first and respond to visits from some aristocratic families from time to time.
As the imperial examination began approaching, these aristocratic families became increasingly anxious, worried that they would not keep their word, so they continued to visit a few days before the imperial examination began.
For a time, the entire Wu'an Hou Mansion was crowded with people coming to visit.
Not only are people from the aristocratic families coming, but many students from other places coming, some giving gifts, some wanting to get to know each other, and even more over-the-top a student named Chen came to get a relationship with Su Cheng, saying that he was a branch of the Shen family. According to seniority, I have to call my brother-in-law Su Cheng.
In short, during this period, there are all kinds of weird people. Those who want to give gifts even put their ideas on the two maids, Chunhua Qiuyue, who want the two women to bring the gift to Su Cheng.
Why look for these two people?
It wasn't because they were beaten out when they went to find Chen Youwei. In desperation, they could only find these two people who didn't seem very fierce. It might be very effective to find them.
Unfortunately, no matter how these people gave gifts, Su Cheng refused to let go, and even said that the imperial examination will be handled according to law and there will be no such thing as favoritism and fraud.
When these words were released, more than half of the people who came to give gifts were reduced, and at the same time, many truly talented people breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there is no favoritism and fraud, they can get into the exam with their own abilities!
But the day before the exam was approaching, many people gathered in Shangguan’s mansion. Shangguan Hao, who had not appeared for a long time, finally appeared in front of everyone today.
On the main seat, Shangguan Hao was wearing a black robe. Although he was white-haired and white, his sharp eyes were chilling, and no one dared to look at him.
On the left is a middle-aged man in brocade clothes. His appearance is somewhat similar to Shangguan Hao, and he is Shangguan Song, the son of Shangguan Hao!
Standing on the right side of Shangguan Hao was Shangguan Yunge in a purple long skirt. She put away her former smile and showed a rare solemn look on her face.
The King of Qin and King Yan sat on the left and right positions respectively. Further down were King of Wu and some other officials. At this moment, all the forces of Shangguan Hao were concentrated here.
Their purpose of coming here is very simple, which is to discuss the imperial examination.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit solemn. After everyone gathered, they didn't speak for a long time. No one dared to stand up and speak first, and no one had any opinions on what happened next.
At this moment, Shangguan Hao glanced at everyone and asked slowly: "Have everyone arrived?"
Shangguan Song nodded on the side: "My father, everyone is here."
Shangguan Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone: "Everyone, tomorrow will be the imperial examination. What do you think about this?"
The King of Qin looked calm: "Are you helpless when things have come to this point? And your Majesty has been doing so frequently recently, and even the imperial guards have begun to rectify them. All of us in the palace have been cleared out."
King Yan also looked unwilling: "This matter is not good news for us, and the imperial examination is about to begin again. If we do not recruit more officials, the situation will be even more unfavorable to us next year."
The King of Wu also spoke at this moment: "Yes, we didn't expect that a mere Marquis of Wu'an could bring the situation to this point. If I had known this, I would not have given him a chance to develop. Now I want to deal with him.
ah!"
Everyone knows that the emperor is behind Su Cheng. If they want to deal with Su Cheng, they must go against the emperor, which is something they don’t want to see.
Although the emperor now looks kind to everyone, once he really wants to take action, who can guarantee that he will definitely pull the emperor off?
Especially now, the emperor took advantage of this palace murder and directly replaced many imperial guards, completely controlling the control of the palace. Even the deputy commander of the imperial guards was replaced by Su Cheng's people.
If you still attack the emperor in this situation, it is no different from seeking death!
The words of the three princes changed the faces of the officials at the scene. They all realized that Su Cheng was difficult to deal with, and the palace was still firmly controlled by the emperor. It would be impossible to deal with the emperor and Su Cheng with a tough method.
At this moment, they were helpless!
For a moment, solemn emotions permeated everyone's hearts, and the atmosphere at the scene was a bit bad.
But at this time, Shangguan Hao chuckled: "You don't have to do this. It's actually very easy to deal with Su Cheng. Just cut off this person's source of money."
Turning his head to look at Shangguan Yunge, he smiled and said, "Yunge, please tell you about the next thing."
Shangguan Yunge nodded, and she stepped forward and said slowly: "Your princes, sir, I believe you also understand that as the chief examiner, Wu'an Hou will be in the examination room for the next nine days. According to the news I received, his wife Shen Youwei is also
I will take the soldiers to the examination room tomorrow to escort the guards."
"As soon as these two people left, it was the best time for us to deal with the Shen family cloth shop. Without Su Cheng and Shen Youwei, we will do whatever we want. The remaining Shen family can't stop us at all.
.”
As soon as this plan came out, everyone's eyes lit up.
Yes, this is a good opportunity. Su Cheng and Shen Youwei are not in the Shen family, so the opportunity is rare.
Usually, these two people are here, no matter what their solutions are available, Su Chengdu can resolve them, and Shen Youwei has excellent martial arts skills and will solve them with brute force if there is any problem.
Now that both of them are not here, the remaining Shen family will not be their opponent.
But when the King of Wu heard this, he was a little confused: "Ms. Shangguan, even if these two people are not here, how should we deal with the Shen family cloth shop? There is another shop that has been found out, and those masks were also made by them!"
"Whether it is the stockings of the Shen Family Clothing Village, underwear or the mask of another shop, King Zhao is involved. If we take action and King Zhao intervenes, things will be even more troublesome!"
Yes, King Zhao also participated in Su Cheng's voice. If he dealt with the Shen family's cloth shop, he would inevitably have conflicts with King Zhao.
You should know that King Zhao is the sect of the Zongren Mansion, representing the central forces in the Zongren Mansion. Once King Zhao is offended and King Zhao is completely pushed to Su Cheng's side, their opponent will be one more.
Shangguan Yunge sneered when he heard this: "Do you think King Zhao will be our friend now? He and Su Cheng have long been our enemy in business!"
"Since I'm going to do something this time, I've just taken it all in one fell swoop. As long as Su Cheng's source of income is cut off, he will be unable to move forward in Kyoto in the future!"
This sentence awakened everyone. Could it be that if they didn’t provoke King Zhao, wouldn’t King Zhao turn to Su Cheng?
In fact, the fact that King Zhao and Su Cheng are doing business is now turning to Su Cheng!
King Qin and King Yan looked at each other after hearing this, and then said in unison: "Since that's the case, then let's do it!"
