Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 268 What are you afraid of?
"So, it's the praying mantis catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind!"

Su Yizhao sneered as he spoke, "It's just that there are too many orioles, and I don't know how many people participated."

"Oh! Later, someone suggested that since the Su family was involved, it's better to discuss the countermeasures with the Su family. Anyway, it's a grasshopper, so don't think about being alone."

Xiangsi's stomach was a little full at the moment, so she lay down on Su Yizhao's big characters.

"It's a grasshopper on a rope and wants to be alone." Su Yizhao couldn't help correcting him.

"It's about the same. I didn't listen carefully. That's not the point." Xiangsi immediately retorted.

"That won't work! If you are not proficient in these words, you may miss important content when you retell in the future, and it is inevitable that the words will not convey the meaning."

After Su Yizhao chatted with Xiangsi for a few words, he asked again: "Did he say anything else? Did he say who he took refuge in?"

"Yes!" Xiangsi nodded, "It is said that I asked Ruan Zhonglian, who was in charge of politics, to send someone to deliver a letter, but I heard that I went to inspect the place in the afternoon, but did not return."

Ruan Zhonglian who participated in politics from the left?The adult who participated in the political affairs of the chief envoy, from the third-rank official.

However, this person could not be the real person behind Liao Haitu's backing. It seemed that this political lord already had a faction.

This person is not from a family, and Su Yizhao didn't know much about him before.

However, when he went to inspect the place in the afternoon, or was he a third-rank official going there in person?Definitely to get around this.

That's right, who is not afraid of being implicated in cheating in the imperial examination?It's no wonder that Liao Haitu was so eager that he got confused.

"Did you mention the prince?" Su Yizhao asked Xiang Xiangsi.

Xiangsi nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "This time the third prince will definitely not be able to calculate, and he will not be able to fight with the prince's faction."

These two can be ruled out, and a figure suddenly appeared in Su Yizhao's mind, the prince's father-in-law——Jiang Yunshou, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials.

Jiang Yunshou and Zhu Heqian have always been confrontational in court. Liao Haitu's original intention was to let these two people conflict with the faction behind them, so as to achieve the goal of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

"Only mention these two?" Su Yizhao counted, isn't there still three princes?
Xiangsi tilted his head and thought for a long time, "I also mentioned the second prince, saying that the second prince is very powerful now, and his faction is proud now. He also said that the master is on the decline. abandoned him."

"Falling?" Su Yizhao immediately connected the family backgrounds of the other princes in the court.

The mothers of the imperial princes in the imperial court were all from aristocratic families, and those whose natal families were not visible were concubines without children.

Such a scheming harem, if it weren't for the illustrious natal family, it would not be easy to keep the dragon son.

Apart from family background, it depends on how much the emperor loves the princes.

The most favored is the Fifth Prince, and Dad loves Yao'er, that's the reason.

The crown prince must have been the most relied upon before, but the emperor has become increasingly dissatisfied with the crown prince in recent years.

As Liao Haitu said, the most powerful person now belongs to the second prince.

If it is ruled out, there will be only the fourth prince.

After the analysis, Su Yizhao took away the Four Treasures of the Study and planned to sleep.

There is no need to rush this matter, anyway, the plan has to be implemented step by step, so it is useless for her to rush.

And the fact that Su Yizhao was valued by the Grand Tutor, and he personally wrote a letter to recommend him, has already spread in Fucheng.

After a day of fermentation, this matter became more and more outrageous.

Su Yizhao slept soundly and peacefully in this room, but Liao Haitu was sleepless, and was still talking with his staff at night by candlelight.

"My lord! Since there is a message to let us sit on the Diaoyutai, the villain feels that it is not appropriate to make any changes, otherwise it will ruin the plan over there and make things more complicated."

Staff member Zhang Yu looked at Liao Haitu walking back and forth in the study, and couldn't help persuading him.

Although the adults valued Tang Fugui before and ignored them, which made them feel dissatisfied, this matter is no small matter.

If the adults are dismissed from their official positions, and their lives are even in danger, then their good days will come to an end.

"But who is Su Wenqing, don't you know? What kind of tricks can he have? We don't know his plan. We are afraid that he will play wisely and put all the blame on us."

Liao Haitu was already furious at this moment, Su Wenqing, an idiot, didn't know what stupid things he would do.

"My lord! Even if there is a letter to prove it, but you are not the one who reads the papers, there is still room for change." Another aide, Shi Dongchen, said.

"You don't know anything about those people's means. As long as they want to prove your crime, it is easy for them."

As Liao Haitu spoke, he sighed repeatedly.

"My lord! Why don't we wait first, even if we have made a plan now, it's too late to implement it. Lord Ruan avoids it, and we don't have any good countermeasures at the moment, so why not stop it quietly? Maybe tomorrow morning, we will know Su Wenqing's calabash What kind of medicine is sold here." Zhang Yu still persuaded.

In fact, he felt that he should not panic too much, he had to calm down and take a look at the situation.

It's just that the adults are so anxious now that they can't calm down at all.

"Yes! The villain seconded the proposal, let's wait and see what happens! Tomorrow at the latest, if it doesn't work, let's think of another countermeasure."

The next few people persuaded them one after another, anyway, there is no good way at present.

Liao Haitu was at a loss, but several people persuaded him so much, so they had to be patient and wait until dawn to see the situation.

On the other side of the capital, the far water cannot save the near fire.On the Fucheng side, Ruan Zhonglian refused to see him, leaving him helpless.

But after a moment, his eyes turned cruel.

In fact, it's not that he has no choice, it's just that he doesn't want to take this step unless it is absolutely necessary.

But if those people are not kind, then don't blame him for being unrighteous.

Su Yizhao woke up feeling refreshed.

After eating, she planned to review her homework again to prepare for the next three repetitions.

Uncle Zhong, who got up early in the morning to manage the general affairs, was not so leisurely. He hurried into Su Wenqing's study with a look of panic.

"Master! It's not good. The woman in our house went shopping and heard some rumors that are not good for the seventh young master."

Seeing his master, Uncle Zhong didn't care about saluting, so he said directly.

"Why are you so flustered?" Su Wenqing was looking at the pot of orchids on the table, but she said casually when she heard the words.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Zhong stomped his feet anxiously.

"Ouch! It's been rumored outside that Taifu Zhu appreciates the seventh young master of our family and wants to accept him as a disciple. He even wrote a letter to the magistrate himself in this child's test, hoping that he would cheat on him."

In this cold weather, beads of sweat appeared on Uncle Zhong's forehead.

He didn't have time to wipe it, and continued: "When the villain found out, he sent people to investigate and found that some people spread more and more outrageous, and even said that the magistrate leaked the exam questions in advance to pave the way for the seventh young master."

Only then did Su Wenqing look away from the pot of orchids, "Everyone in the world follows what others say, and we who clean up clean up ourselves, what are we afraid of?"
