After the prince enters the play

Chapter 489 Chapter 490: Disposing of Li Guifei
"It's not just because of this. We will have a battle with the Tatars sooner or later. The Zhu family who went out with the caravan also have a mission on their shoulders. He is our outpost, understand?" Su Xinyi said slowly.

During the national mourning period, the Tatars were ready to move at the border, and the Zhangping Mansion sent the zhezi to the capital in a hurry. Why did the caravan leave Beijing not long after returning to Beijing?
That's because if His Majesty wants to start a war with the Tatars, he must first seize the opportunity.

Therefore, at this time, adding the Zhu family with combat experience to the caravan is definitely the best choice, and at the same time can appease the Queen Mother, why not do it?
When Yan Junchu discussed this matter with her, Su Xinyi agreed.

Zhu Chanyi's heart skipped a beat. No matter how good her personal relationship with Xin Yi was, she never asked her to help or seek anything in court affairs. They were friends, and she didn't want this friendship to deteriorate.

But now that Xin Yi sent such a good opportunity to the Zhu family, with so many people staring at the caravan, who would have thought that such a big pie would be given to her?

"Xin Yi..." Zhu Chanyi stood up abruptly, "Don't worry, I will definitely ask my grandfather to select the best of the family to travel with the caravan."

"Of course I can trust you." Su Xinyi said with a smile, "Originally, when my two cousins ​​came back this time, they planned to keep one of them, but now there is an emergency, and they will continue to follow. They just happen to have rich experience , plus your family, this trip must be very rewarding."

Although Su Deng and Su Li also came from generals, but in order to avoid suspicion these years, they have not had the opportunity to go to the battlefield to hone their skills. The Zhu family is different. With Zheng Guogong around, whenever there is a war, the son of the Zhu family will have the opportunity to hone it.

So this time the two Su Deng brothers figured out the route outside the pass, coupled with the rich combat experience of the Zhu family's children, it might really surprise them.

Su Xinyi himself has repeatedly looked at the map that the caravan has revised several times, and Shang Junyan has discussed with her several times, but it is not advisable to talk about wars on paper, so this time the caravan set off again, with more tasks on its shoulders than ever before. Heavy.

Zhu Chanyi suppressed the excitement in his heart and left the palace, and returned to Prince Rong's mansion. Unexpectedly, he met Prince Rong who was coming back, so he hurriedly dragged Prince Rong into the study to talk.

King Rong was taken aback when he heard Zhu Chanyi's words, and then said, "This is a big deal. Su Xinyi is so generous this time, that he actually gave the opportunity to the Zhu family?"

Zhu Chanyi couldn't laugh or cry when she heard Wang Rong's words, "What do you mean being so generous? The empress is always very good."

King Rong curled his lips, obviously not agreeing, when their queen rolls up her sleeves and fights, she is quite fierce.

"This matter is very important. In this case, you go back to your mother's house first, and I will go there later."

"The prince is also going?"

"Naturally." Rong Wang nodded, "People from the Zhu family have never traveled with the caravan, and they don't know much about the inside. I just happened to talk to them carefully, so that I can cooperate with Su Deng and the others."

Zhu Chanyi understood, and looked at her husband with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Rong Wang was very proud of hearing what his wife said, look at how majestic his husband is, he is not like his elder brother, he is afraid!
The court was still arguing about the next spring's draft, so what a fart to choose, and he was not afraid that his own daughter would enter the palace and become a vegetable on Su Xinyi's target one by one.

"By the way, I'll call Mu Xing too." King Rong suddenly said again.

"Lord Mu? Isn't he working in the Three Thousand Battalion?" Zhu Chanyi naturally knew that Mu Xing was a well-known figure in the army. After all, he was once a famous killer in the Jianghu. Not to mention the meritorious service and successfully joining the army, they have now become hundreds of households.

"What's wrong with the errand? I'll just say hello to Qin Guansheng." Rong Wang didn't take it seriously, "Mu Xing is someone the queen trusts. This kid is tight-lipped and thoughtful. Let him go and talk to the Zhu family about the caravan. I know more about things than I do, but this kid has a weird temper, you can say hello to your family first, and just have some snacks."

Zhu Chanyi said: "Lord Mu is famous for his temperament. I heard that some people ridiculed him for being a killer. In the end, he drew a sword against someone, and he should have beaten him to the ground."

Speaking of this, King Rong is proud, "That's not it, those grandchildren don't even look at who Mu Xing brought out, but that tigress Su Xinyi can bring out a cat? Isn't this being chased by people?" Slap in the face, deserve it!"

Zhu Chanyi: ...

Seeing that King Rong finally cheered up about complaining about the queen, unlike the shocking depression of the past few days, Zhu Chanyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Let's go now, hurry up sooner rather than later. "

King Rong said: "That's fine, you go back first, I'll go to the Three Thousand Battalion."

This is to take people there personally, Zhu Chanyi understood, and the two husband and wife acted separately.

At this time, Su Xinyi met two cousins, Su Deng and Su Li, in the palace. It is really not easy to meet each other now. Sora met them, and now he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he saw them.

Seeing a shallow scar on Su Deng's face, Su Xinyi was silent for a long time.

Su Deng looked at it and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't be sad, these are minor injuries, and the scars won't be visible in a year or two."

Su Xinyi felt even more sad. Others only looked at the caravan, but they didn't know the risks.

Thinking of what Yan Junchu had said to her again, Su Xinyi felt closer when she looked at the two cousins ​​again, but her mother hadn't mentioned it yet, and she didn't know if she would like it, so she had to put it aside for now.

Su Xinyi explained the trip in detail, "Your Majesty's intention is to plan the marching route. This time, the Zhu family will join the caravan. The Zhu family's children have been fighting with Zheng Guogong on the battlefield. Yes. These things are very experienced, and the two cousins ​​can communicate with him more at that time, and they will definitely benefit a lot."

"Duke Zheng's Mansion?" Su Li asked in surprise.

Su Xinyi nodded, "Yes, cousin Li, what do you think?"

Su Li shook his head, "That's not true. I've always heard that Zheng Guogong governs his family like he governs an army, and he has long admired his name. This time, I have the opportunity to learn from each other. I'm just very happy."

Su Xinyi could tell from Su Li's words that although he respected Zheng Guogong, he didn't feel that his family was weaker than the Zhu family. Su Xinyi liked such arrogance and arrogance, so his family naturally couldn't lose the prestige of his own family.

Su Deng looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Your Majesty, what you mean is that Your Majesty asked us to be the vanguard to fight the Tatars?"

"Of course we won't go to war right now, but this date won't be too far away. The Tatars have been provoking Southern Qi all the time. Now that the late emperor is on the way, when you come back from outside the pass, the day of sending troops will not be far away." Su Xinyi said solemnly.

Su Deng's expression became serious, this is a great opportunity for the Su family, he thought about it and said: "Madam, this time I see, I might as well ask Su Qi to follow along."

Now that the Su family has a queen and a prince, as a family, they cannot continue to hide their strengths and bide their time. They have to support the queen and the little prince. This time, the battle with the Tatars happened to be the time for the Su family to regain their prestige. great opportunity.

Su Xinyi didn't expect Su Deng to say this, and he understood what he meant in an instant. After thinking about it, he said, "I will report this matter to His Majesty, and we will talk about it at that time."

Su Deng nodded and didn't try to persuade her again. His cousin is a very thoughtful person, and he only needs to mention one sentence.

It was rare to see family members, Yan Junchu also came during lunch, had a family banquet, and the matter of leaving customs was inevitably mentioned again at the banquet.

Su Xinyi said to Yan Junchu: "I have already greeted the seventh brother and sister at the Zhu family, and they will choose someone in these two days."

Yan Junchu was really too busy, so I left these things to Xin Yi, and said with a smile: "It's the best, Zheng Guogong is a measured person, and he will definitely choose the right candidate." Su Li, "The Zhu family has a lot of experience in marching and deployment, and this trip is just a chance to learn from him."

Su Deng and Su Li naturally nodded in agreement, thinking about what His Majesty meant, after much deliberation, they still felt that the Zhu family could not dominate the court, and the Su family would stand up and fight against the Zhu family at this time. good result.

After Su Deng and Su Li left, Su Xinyi and Yan Junchu also went back to the dormitory to have a rest, Su Xinyi looked at him and said softly: "You revive the Su family so quickly, I'm afraid there will be dissatisfaction in the court."

Yan Junchu sneered, "A Yuan, you are my wife. It is only natural for me to support the Yue family. Besides, the Su family used to be a great hero in the Southern Qi Dynasty. Now they are fighting against the Zhu family in the court. It is also something that civil servants like to see. Zheng Guogong is an old man. Jing, you will understand what I mean."

Su Xinyi understood, this is to make the Su family and the Zhu family make a posture of not giving in to each other, so that the civil servants feel that there is a balance.

She was happy when she thought of this, "It seems to work."

"That's natural, at least within five years." Yan Junchu also laughed.

Su Xinyi sighed, "Yes, it's fine for a short period of time, but for a long time, it depends on each person's choice."

The higher the power, the easier it is for people to lose their minds. It really remains to be seen how long it will last.

Su Xinyi naturally hopes that the Su family and the Zhu family will be well, but as a queen, she will definitely not be able to grow out of the palace in the future, so she dare not say what will happen to the two families now.

The two lay down side by side, and Yan Junchu took Xin Yi into his arms, "Go to sleep for a while."

Su Xinyi nodded slightly, "Okay."

As soon as the words fell, I heard Yan Junchu's long and gentle breathing, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye. Su Xinyi knew that he had been very hard these days, so he also closed his eyes.

The fact that the caravan left Beijing did not alarm anyone, but there were many eyeliners in the capital, and the news that the Zhu family had joined the caravan spread like wildfire.

Zheng Guogong's mansion is still the same, even if someone came to inquire about the news, the Zhu family's mouth is very strict, they only say that they are following orders, and they don't say anything else, and no one else can do anything about it.

After the caravan left the capital, only the Zhu family took a bite of this big piece of meat, but thinking about the Queen Mother and King Rong in the palace, it seems to make sense, so we can only wait for the next opportunity.

The matter of the caravan failed to intervene, so everyone became more active about the matter of the spring draft. Seeing that winter has not yet entered, here began to mention the matter of the draft.

Su Xinyi just sneered when she got the news in the palace, she knew that Yan Junchu had his own opinion.

Sure enough, when the courtier brought up the matter of the draft, Yan Junchu not only refused to answer the question, but instead revealed the matter of Li Guifei's murder of the prince who had been suppressed.

This matter was shelved because of the late Emperor's great conduct, and now His Majesty is finally going to deal with it, and the court is full of blood and blood, and the courtiers related to the Li family can't help panicking for a while.

The former Concubine Li Gui has now been demoted to a talented person, living in a cramped palace, and all the people serving her have been replaced, and she is not very respectful to her.

Li Cairen heard the footsteps, raised his head, and saw the Queen Mother walking in slowly, she didn't move, she was still sitting there.

The queen mother didn't mean to blame, she looked down at Li Shi who was in plain clothes, and then said slowly: "Li Cairen, your Majesty is going to reiterate the case of smallpox today, do you know?"

Li's whole body froze, but she had been fighting with the Queen Mother for many years, and she refused to bow her head at this time, so she kept her mouth shut.

The queen mother laughed lightly, "You have fought against the Ai family all your life, and the end you have now is something you never expected, right?"

Mrs. Li sneered, "The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking, the queen mother really thinks that the queen will be filial to you?"

"You don't need to sow discord, what's going on between the Ai family and the empress, that's something you can no longer interfere with." The queen mother was not fooled, and looked down at Li Shi, "How do you think your majesty will deal with the Li family and King Xiang? "

Li's heart tightened, she didn't want to make the queen mother proud, so she insisted on keeping silent.

The Empress Dowager didn't seem to care whether she said anything or not, and said to herself, "Master Li, the elder of the three dynasties, it's a pity that the Li family was wiped out at the end of the festival. He even thought of using smallpox to murder the crown prince. Your Majesty only has such a son. Do you think he can spare the Li family lightly? If the first emperor was here, he might have had three points of face, but now that the new emperor is on the throne, the last bit of decency of the Li family will be gone."

"What are you going to say?" Li Shi had a bad feeling.

The Queen Mother laughed loudly, "Oh, by the way, you are trapped in this small palace now, how can you know the news from outside, Ai Jia will kindly tell you that today Li Taishi is seriously ill and comatose, and the imperial doctor has not yet arrived. People are gone."

Li Shi was startled for a moment, then her face turned pale, "Impossible, impossible, you must have lied to me!"

"How could Aijia lie to you about this kind of thing? It can't be true anymore. Li Cairen, Li Taishi is gone, and your biggest backer has fallen. How do you think His Majesty will deal with you and King Xiang?"

"King Xiang is the late emperor's son, His Majesty cannot deal with him!"

"The prince is guilty of breaking the law and the people are the same."

"King Xiang and Ben didn't know about this matter, he is innocent!"

"With a biological mother like you, so what if she is innocent? There are no eggs in the nest."

"You can't do that!"

"The Ai family is going to do this. Do you think that I will leave King Xiang as a disaster? Mrs. Li, after so many years, it is finally decided between you and me."
