son-in-law

Chapter 432
News came from the East Palace that the Ziyang Pavilion's sleeping room was on fire, and it was said that the prince had been burned to black charcoal.The eunuch serving the bed and the eunuch seriously neglected her duties, and was immediately executed by Hong Dun, the eunuch of the East Palace.Hong Dun himself also sent a letter of guilt, begging the queen to punish him.

Just before dawn, the queen took Jin Yiwei and a group of sword-wielding eunuchs to the court, and read the imperial edict in the hall.It is announced that the second prince, Zhao Ceshun, will succeed him as the crown prince, effective immediately.Since there is no Daqing ceremony during the national mourning period, all ceremonial sacrificial activities are exempted.Bury the dead prince's body directly next to the tomb of his mother Concubine Liang, so that their mother and son can be reunited.

Because the new prince is not yet full-term, the fetal gas has not retreated, and his muscles and bones are not strong, so he cannot go to the East Palace.The East Palace is temporarily vacant.Hong Dun seriously dereliction of duty, deprived him of all positions, and fined him to be responsible for the cleaning work in the East Palace alone.The rest of the people are not allowed to enter the East Palace again, including the prince and grand master Cao Sheng.

In the early court, the queen also mentioned that Zhao Ting, the king of Anxi County, was attacked by unknown people at the fourth division's residence last night.The culprit has been cracked by the car.

Last night, there were also thugs who broke into the Prince's Mansion of Anxi County, slaughtered and injected insects.They robbed a lot of gold and silver treasures, killed many beloved people and loyal servants, and committed heinous crimes. They are really rampant and hateful.The queen was furious and replayed the dragon case, demanding that the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, Jingzhao Mansion, and Wan'an County solve the case within one month, and use the head of the bandit to pay homage to the tragic death.He also threatened to find the best Gu doctor in the world to treat the family members of the king of Anxi County.During this period, Jin Wuwei is required to protect the family of the county prince's mansion at twelve hours, and there must be no mistakes.

The queen's words aroused some people's doubts, and the queen answered them one by one with a cold face.

Su Yu, as the commander of the fourth-rank Beijing Command, listened to His Royal Highness, and his heart skipped a beat for a while.The queen came as soon as she opened her mouth when she lied, and she answered fluently and thoughtfully.If Su Yu hadn't mastered a lot of inside information, she would have been deceived by her.

At this time, Su Yu already had the idea of ​​quitting the officialdom, and he didn't want to be at the forefront of the storm.Now that the queen is fully in power, when she is in full power, these heroes who helped her "fight the country" will not be so pleasing to her eyes.There are always a few people who hold power but don't know how to give in, which will make the queen feel uncomfortable.

Now that the East Palace is closed, even the princelings have begun to disperse their management, and as a "non-staff" person, I should know the truth of retreating bravely.

-

In the next court, Su Yu went home directly, not even going to the Beijing government office, showing a lazy official.

Su Yu was very busy a while ago, and often came home late at night, but today he suddenly came back early, and the princess was a little surprised.But when she heard that the husband was back, the new wife smiled unconsciously.It's just that the Princess has always been good at covering up her emotions, and that smile really disappeared like a superficial touch of water.He also hid most of the sewn fur under the case, not wanting to be seen by Su Yu.

When Su Yu sat at the table, the princess asked with airs as usual: "Why did you come back so early today?"

"I miss my wife."

"Oh! Stop talking nonsense!"

The county horse is being scolded in a leisurely way, and the maid in the house laughs.

Su Yu smiled: "Ling'er said a long time ago that I am only a temporary escrow in Jingtong. Now that the Queen's great career has been accomplished, I should quit. Although Jingtong still has a lot of things to do, I feel that the sheep Dashun and Du Xiangui can also handle it well. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."

The princess snorted and said, "Jingtong is extremely efficient and intimidating the eight gates. This is all due to you. It's like you gave the queen a sharp knife. Now the knife is in the queen's hands. You, the knife maker There's nothing left to do."

Su Yu nodded: "That's almost what it means."

The princess looked very happy, but she didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly her face became serious again.She was fiddling with something with her hands hidden under the table, hesitated for a moment, and put the thing down again.

At this time, news came from the door that Ouyang Jing was looking for him.

I haven't seen Ouyang Jing for a long time. The old boy has been suffocating in the East Palace recently. In his own words, he is almost growing hairy.

Ouyang Jing was still the same, waving his big sleeves like a big monkey jumping.He advanced to Xiaofeng Pavilion to meet the princess, and then Su Yu led him to Xiaoxilou.Tea and snacks, telling their own stories.Seeing Xiao Huan, Ouyang Jing grabbed the maid's hand, rubbed it, and smacked: "Little maid has done too much work, and her palms are rough."

"Hmph!" Xiao Huan was upset and pulled her hand back.

Ouyang Jing smiled playfully, took out two silver coins, stuffed them into the little maid's pocket, and hooked them on the maid's face.Xiao Huan ran away in anger.

Su Yu smiled wryly.

The most unscrupulous eunuch in the world is Ouyang Jing, but it's useless for him to toss around for a long time.

"The crown prince burned to death, so dead that he didn't even need to see a doctor." Ouyang Jing stretched out his hand and gestured, "It's like a burnt tree root."

Hearing this, Su Yu sat in the chair in a low mood and didn't say anything.

Ouyang Jing held Erlang's legs with both hands, frowned and said, "But why do I feel that something is wrong? Even if he was burned to death, can human bones still be shortened? I feel that the prince's legs seem to have become shorter. Although the prince has been Very thin, but he was originally a big bone stick, but why is the corpse a small bone stick? Hey, Jinfeng, do you think..."

Su Yu knocked on the table: "You have seen too many things."

Ouyang Jing said with a cold face: "I can't do it if I don't look at it. Last night I was almost killed by Hong Dun. He said that the fire in the small bedroom was my responsibility and he wanted to punish me. His grandma, this old black thief really wants to Put me to death. If Master Cao hadn't supported me, you wouldn't have seen me today!"

"Did Cao Sheng speak for you?"

"As soon as I heard that fat thief's tongue was wrong, I ran away. As soon as Mr. Cao came back with his troops, I knelt in front of Mr. Cao with snot and tears. I found that Mr. Cao treated me well, and Mr. Cao was still very kind." Talk about human kindness. But this is also the result of my management. During his house arrest, I saw him the most times, and I gave him a lot of gifts. During that time, I didn’t even see Hong Dun. It seems that Mr. Cao You are a caring person, Master Cao can see my loyalty."

This kid has no loyalty at all, he is just using "loyalty" to win the relationship.It is estimated that his "Master Cao" can also see clearly, but Cao Sheng believes that such a "loyal" person must of course be protected, otherwise it will easily chill the hearts of other followers.After all, there are still many people who can't see through Ouyang Jing's operation.I just thought he was really loyal.

For example, the two fierce generals beside Cao Sheng, "Little Evil Lai" Liao Kui and "Silly Big Bug" Wei Kui, they think Ouyang Jing is very good, and they are Master Cao's confidantes just like them.They are their own people, they are good buddies, they call each other brothers, and they talk about everything.

Now that Master Cao is backing him, Hong Dun dare not touch Ouyang Jing.In Ouyang Jing's words, Master Cao's thigh is considered to be firmly held by me.The Queen's full power is just around the corner, but who is Master Cao?

That is the uncle of the queen regent, one of the five great generals of Xuanjia, the general of the second division Zhonglang, the first rank of the crown prince and grand master, and the pillar of the foreign relatives.With a little effort on this thigh, I, Ouyang Jing, can fly into the sky!
This Ouyang Jing always seems to be able to forget the danger and only think about the good things. In the past, when he often seduced women from good families, he actually had this mentality.From the beginning to the end, in fact, he has not changed.Only the form has changed.He used to specialize in women, but now that he lacks parts, he starts to specialize in officialdom.

But he seemed to have forgotten why he lacked parts, and he didn't learn the lesson.

This time he was almost strangled to death by Hong Dun, but he soon stopped mentioning that matter and began to study how to enter the palace.He said he wanted to be with the Queen.In addition, the medicine he got from the Gu Master can finally be used.He knew that the medicine would shorten his life, but he still planned to give it a try.

"Ouyang Jing, are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy!"

Su Yu knocked on the table: "Don't mess around anymore, okay? Now, although you are not in charge of the wind and rain in Luoyang City, no one dares to offend you. You still have [-] million yuan with me, relying on your ingenuity , and with your current network of connections, within three years you will be able to return to the financial resources you had before the party struggle. In other words, it only took you three years to change to your current position. You can be satisfied."

"Satisfied?" Ouyang Jing waved his sleeves: "How can I be satisfied? You were right just now. I can't call the wind and rain now, and what I want is to call the wind and the rain."

"I see you are courting death!"

"So what if you're looking for death? That's how people should be when they're alive. When a man does big things, he has to do the biggest things in the world, and sleep with the most arrogant woman in the world!"

Some people are born crazy, they have become crazy beyond comprehension.It's like those people who are worth more than [-] million but risk their lives to climb Mount Everest, and there are really rich people who died halfway up the mountain.They may seek excitement just like Kong Xiang's tomb robbery.Or maybe like Ouyang Jing, seeking to conquer.

Su Yu really wanted to throw Ouyang Jing out and tell him, don't come to my house in the future, lest you commit crimes and trouble me.But after thinking about it, I felt that it was not necessary.Even if he committed suicide, he was going to sleep with the queen. What does it have to do with me, Su?Not even collaboration.

However, Su Yu has already decided that he will no longer help Ouyang Jing find his way in the future.At this time, Ouyang Jing basically didn't need Su Yu's help, he already had his own network of contacts in the eunuch circle.Today Ouyang Jing came to see Su Yu mainly to talk about his secret assets.Some of the cash was being withheld by the princess, and some of the real estate was recorded in Kong Ting's name.

Ouyang Jing took out the ledger that only recorded the outgoings and did the math.It is said that the amount Su Yu said just now is wrong, the princess has 3000 million cash in hand, and the old house behind Li's warehouse and the two stores together have more than [-] million.

Su Yu didn't repay his debts either, and dealt with him one by one.

"Jinfeng, do you still owe me 2000 million? At the beginning you said you would pour rice."

"Your memory is quite good." Su Yu took out his pocket and said, "There is not enough money, but don't worry, I have rice in the warehouse. Now that the price of rice is soaring, I am planning to sell it. I will pay back the money when it is sold out."

"Hey." Ouyang Jing smiled: "Then don't give me the money, give it to Xiao Qiao as a dowry."

"Have you found your in-law's family? Whose family?"

"Master Tang Zhen."

"Really let Xiao Qiao become a concubine?"

"How do you say this? Is the concubine of the Duke of the country an ordinary concubine? That's called the concubine side!" Ouyang Jing sighed: "The 2000 million yuan is not for the daughter, but to honor Mrs. Fan. But as long as the girl enters After entering the Duke’s Mansion, hehe, master, my waist will become even harder.”
