When facing the God of War, I was already panicking before I even started beating him in the heart.
But no matter how panicked he was, he had to accept the emperor's orders, especially at a time like this, when he couldn't even find any excuse, otherwise he would accidentally identify the traitor's accomplices.
That's right, Cang Xiuxuan, who has lost his title, has been classified as a traitor.
And throughout Shangjing, everyone who was close to Cang Xiuxuan was searched one by one. Cang Xiuxuan may have known that such a day would come, and he rarely made friends with people when he went to Shangjing.
People who are really close to him have been brought to the new city by him a long time ago.
The emperor was so angry that he vomited blood almost every day in the past few days. Sleeping was even more of a problem. He couldn't sleep at all. Although he thought that someone as large as Cang Xiuxuan was not something to be afraid of, this matter seemed to be hanging in the air.
There was a knife on his head. He would not be able to rest at ease until this matter was resolved.
The court's turmoil in recent days has made all the officials under him feel in danger. He also knows that problems will arise if this continues, but now he just can't put this matter aside for the time being.
"Xiao Lizi, do you think I did something wrong?"
Late at night in the bedroom, the emperor kicked everyone out, leaving only Manager Li at his side.
Manager Li has been with the emperor for many years and has a deep love for him.
Hearing the emperor calling him, Manager Li quickly walked up to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, where do you start with these words? King Qi... I deserve to die, I deserve to die. It was the fourth prince who betrayed you first. How could you?"
It would be wrong.”
Manager Li accidentally forgot about Cang Xiuxuan's title being taken away, and called the Fourth Prince instead.
These words are also telling the emperor that no matter what, Cang Xiuxuan is the emperor's son. Since ancient times, no son can beat me.
This should be what the emperor likes to hear most now. As soon as Mr. Li finished speaking these words, the emperor sighed slightly. He is also a human being. They are all his sons, but he is not only a father, he is also a monarch.
, if even his own son does not surrender to him, what about other people?
There is nothing wrong with the emperor's thinking, but he seems to have forgotten that what he wants is not surrender at all, what he wants is to sit in this position forever!
He does not allow anyone to challenge his authority, even if he has done something wrong.
In order to maintain his power and status, he even kills his own son. How can such a person win the hearts of the people?
"If he turns back now, I can still forgive him, and at least I can ensure that he has enough food and clothing for the rest of his life."
Manager Li did not answer the call, and it was not something he could handle.
Manager Li knew Cang Xiuxuan better than the emperor. It was absolutely impossible for him to look back. No matter what happened to his mother and concubine back then or what happened to him later, it was impossible for him to forgive him.
When the emperor said this, he was also thinking about what kind of response Mr. Li would give him. He could only say these words to him. He had been by his side for so many years. When it came to loyalty, he was number one.
It turns out there was Prime Minister Su...
"Xiao Lizi, do you think the Su family has also gone to that scoundrel?"
This idea suddenly came to the emperor's mind. He has not stopped asking people to find news about them since the Su family's incident, but no letter has been sent back until now.
He didn't think so at first, but the events that happened one after another forced him to think more about it. The prime minister he trusted the most might have betrayed him a long time ago.
The emperor's words shocked Mr. Li, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you...why..."
The emperor sneered, "Do you have any other explanation besides this?"
Manager Li shook his head slightly, "I don't know about the rest of my servants. I only know that Prime Minister Su seemed to have never had contact with any princes when he went to the capital. Anyone who wanted to win over Prime Minister Su before was also blocked by Prime Minister Su."
These are no secrets in Shangjing, and the emperor knows them well.
But once this idea appeared, it could no longer be suppressed. That night the emperor sent a secret message to General Weiyuan, asking him to pay close attention to the Su family when he went to conquer.
When General Weiyuan saw the news, he felt even more miserable.
Going to Beijing will not affect Song Chen at all. Nanfeng Village has already begun to build a pharmaceutical workshop. With previous experience, this matter can be done quickly.
Song Chen didn't have to stare there every day.
But she is not idle either, there are too many things that need to be dealt with by her now.
Cang Xiuxuan has also received news in the past few days. In addition to deployment, he will continue to send people around to search for food, and once again start to stock up on food. It can be said that he must collect as much as he has.
He knows the people who went to Beijing very well, and is now preparing to send troops. The next step is to blockade them. He must ensure the livelihood of everyone in the city.
Of course, he had to hurry up to trick Su Ze into becoming the city lord.
Now Su Ze and the others have settled down. Although they had secretly moved some things before, most of the ornaments at home were not brought over. The whole house looked a little empty. When Cang Xiuxuan came, he stopped by
Brought some over.
Prime Minister Su Mi's eyes rolled with laughter when he saw these things.
"His Royal Highness King Qi, isn't this a little too polite?"
Cang Xiuxuan smiled lightly and said, "The one who went to Beijing has been cut off, and there is no longer a King of Qi."
Su Mi didn't feel embarrassed, "Isn't this called getting used to it? What should I call you now? Lord City Lord?"
Hearing this, Cang Xiuxuan smiled again, "No."
Seeing Cang Xiuxuan's smile, Su Mi had a bad feeling in her heart.
Cang Xiuxuan's next words also confirmed this point, "You are more suitable for the position of city lord than me, or Su Ze."
Su Mi:……
He knew that nothing good could happen if he smiled like this.
Looking at the things he sent me, I don’t seem to like them anymore.
After being the prime minister for so many years, he could finally relax a little bit. He was asked to be the city lord again, and he firmly disagreed.
"I am already so old. I should think about my happiness. I am not the city leader."
"I don't have to let you be the leader. Anyway, you and Su Ze will be the city lords. You and your son can just discuss it and it will be done."
Cang Xiuxuan had thought of such a result before he came, and now that he said it, he was not surprised at all.
And according to Su Mi's understanding of Cang Xiuxuan, the fact that he let her go so easily meant that he had already made plans, but just telling him this now...
So scheming!
It was completely a plot against him. If he didn't do it right, didn't he just want him to tell Su Ze about it?
As expected, he is neither poisonous nor a husband.
Su Mi: "You...why don't you just take these things back..."
He doesn't want the things anymore, and he won't take the job anymore.
Why would Cang Xiuxuan listen to him, "This city is our hard work after all, isn't it? The army that went to Beijing to crusade is about to come, and there will probably be no let-up in the next few years. I want Gu Junzhong to manage the city, but I am unable to do so.
Ah~"
This is true, but Cang Xiuxuan is indeed pretending to be pitiful when he says this. With his ability, none of this is a problem.
Su Mi naturally understood this, but what he said was not unreasonable.
This is a newly built city, and Cang Xiuxuan still needs to handle everything. It's really too much to worry about. If he can handle matters with Beijing with peace of mind, the people in the entire city will also feel at ease.
Although he is no longer an official, he still hopes that all people can live and work in peace and contentment, whether they are here or in Darong.
"Is there any way to solve this problem without war?"
"It's up to him." Cang Xiuxuan dropped the word lightly. He didn't like war, but if the Shangjing side insisted on forcing each other, he wouldn't mind letting them suffer some losses.
Although the soldiers sent to Beijing are all elite soldiers, there is still a long way to go compared to those under his command. They were all trained by him, and their families are living here peacefully, whether it is for him as the master.
Or for their own family, they must be very brave when fighting.
Su Mi understands.
But the one who went to Beijing, ha~
He always thinks only about himself.
"If you can like Su Ze, I will take over the city lord for him."
Su Mi hopes that Cang Xiuxuan can replace the one who went to Beijing as soon as possible.
Cang Xiuxuan clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much. These things are all selected from my private treasury. I hope you and your wife like them."
Returning to the more relaxed topic, Su Mi felt happier, "Of course your things are all one-of-a-kind, and it's getting late. If you don't mind, just have dinner here before leaving."
"I still have something to do, so I won't bother you."
After saying this, Cang Xiuxuan said goodbye and left.
Su Mi sent him out and when he saw Cang Xiuxuan get on his horse, it was clear that he was heading to the outskirts of the city.
If something happened, he obviously went to see Xiaochen!
He suddenly regretted agreeing to let Su Ze become the city lord. He clearly had plenty of time now.
But then I thought again... He is quite old now, and it's time to start a family.
But when they thought about starting a family, their daughter-in-law Su Ze didn't know where she was.
Hey~
Not only was he worried about this issue, but Mrs. Su was also very concerned about it now.
Fortunately, there are some families in this city that she thinks are good, and she has already begun to make friends with them. She hopes to choose a suitable one from these families to be Su Ze's wife.
She is a mother, so she naturally knows that Su Ze still has some thoughts about Xiaochen. Although she has really given up, feelings can't be broken off easily. She just hopes to find a good girl to let him
I completely stopped thinking about it.
She doesn't care about family background, as long as the girl has good character.
No, I brought a few people back today.
Their carriage was parked outside the door, and she waited for Cang Xiuxuan to leave before calling people down.
