Although standing up with the support of Prince An, Zang Tinghua didn't move, just stood there with his head bowed.

Looking at the nephew with a sad face, and the elder brother with a gloomy face, Prince An's slightly straight eyebrows gathered into a shallow Sichuan character.

His eyes slid across the faces of Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun like flowing water, paused for two seconds almost invisibly on Xiaoruo's face, and turned to Emperor Suwu sitting in the main seat as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Huang, is there something you need to do?"

Zang Lu propped his forehead with his right hand, and tapped the index finger of his left hand on the dark-patterned pineapple wood tabletop. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I asked you to investigate the matter of Qiao Shengyuan before. How did the investigation go?"

When it came to business, Prince An immediately bowed his hands and replied respectfully: "According to Feiyuwei's report, Qiao Shengyuan has indeed never had any contact with the enemy country, and he can be regarded as loyal to the emperor."

Zang Lu tapped his finger on the table for a moment, and Prince An immediately continued: "But he formed a faction in the court and placed his cronies in various states, such as Yan Shifu, the governor of Yongzhou, Xu Guangyou, the governor of Lianzhou, and Shi Zhou, the governor of Jinzhou. Yonghe was promoted by him."

The drooping eyelids covered the emotions in the pupils, and the rhythm of tapping on the table became slow. Zang Lu snorted without showing any obvious emotion on his face.

"Qiao Shengyuan, an old guy, really thinks that he is under one person and above ten thousand." Zang Lu looked up at his son who was still standing with his hands down, and said in a calm tone: "This octopus is not too big. The net can be collected."

He is well aware that these high-ranking veterans will always have some thoughts that they shouldn't have after staying in high places for a long time, so after ascending to the throne, he firmly grasped the most important thing of a country-military power in his own hands inside.

Everyone said that Emperor Suwu was fond of strange things, and liked to entrust generals.

As long as there are soldiers who have made meritorious deeds and can face the saints, they can get the title of a certain general.

Only he himself knows that the most core and elite troops - the Wu Family Army and the Benlang Camp are only in the palm of his hand, and the top intelligence system in the world is only entrusted to his most trusted brother.

The so-called prime minister is just the mynah who sings at the court meeting. He can advise and share worries, but he can't control him at all.

Mynah will have the appearance of mynah and become an octopus with many tentacles and long, and it is time to be cooked.

After decades of coexistence, Prince An knew what he should do without Zang Luming telling him.

"The younger brother takes the decree."

The rhythm of knocking on the table picked up a little bit, as if knocking on the hearts of everyone, Zang Lu said again: "You searched for Qiao Shengyuan, but you didn't find Uncle Guo? I heard that the two of them are famous friends who forget the year."

Unexpectedly, Zang Lu would suddenly mention Sui Yingtai. Prince An was obviously taken aback, and then immediately replied: "The Feiyuwei also checked on Artai. Although he and Qiao Shengyuan are old friends, they have nothing to do with him in the officialdom..."

After a pause, he immediately added: "He begged for a few errands for his retainers, and those retainers were all powerless literati, and the errands were all insignificant treasury officials and officials. eye..."

"When did the Flying Fish Guard become so useless!" Zang Lu raised his index finger, stopped tapping, and stared at Prince An with blazing eyes.

Like a cold knife out of its sheath, everyone in Zhaoren Hall immediately felt the pressure from the emperor.

Prince An immediately knelt down, his eyes panicked, "Mingxuan has neglected his duty, I hope Brother Huang will forgive me..."

Zang Yi, Prince An, was named Mingxuan, and this name was given by Empress Dowager Cihe, the birth mother of Suwu Emperor Zang Lu.

Hearing him claiming to be a representative, Zang Lu slightly suppressed the anger in his heart, frowned and said: "You should apologize, I have entrusted you with the best spy in the world who is good at detecting intelligence, but you have not even one person who is treasonous." Can't even notice it."

"Conspiracy?!" These two words were like a nine-day lightning strike, Prince An's eyes widened, and he repeated in disbelief.

"Conspiracy... Brother Huang, you mean that Artest conspired?!"

"Hmph!" Seeing that the face of his dearest younger brother was full of shock and did not seem to be pretending, Zang Lu was a little relieved, raised his finger and pointed to the Seventh Prince Zang Tinghua who was about to stand like a statue, and said, "Come on."

After receiving the order, Zang Tinghua recounted the scene he saw during the Lantern Festival banquet.

The more I listened, the more frightened I became. At the end, Prince An's handsome face was numb. He was too shocked and didn't know what expression to make.

Suddenly, he took a few steps on his knees and walked in front of Emperor Su Wu. He fell on the ground and wept half-weepingly: "Brother...Brother, please forgive me..."

The more he grieved, the more Zang Lu couldn't get angry with him.

After all, this younger brother is the only person he can trust besides his biological mother in the treacherous and ever-changing royal family. He still remembers that the young Zang Yi was like a milky meat dumpling, waving his little hands towards him when he couldn't walk steadily. He ran and shouted "Brother Lu".

Later, when the nine sons seized the throne, Zang Yi trained counselors for him, wooed officials from the court, and even personally killed the second emperor brother at the last moment.

If there is anyone else in the world who will always put him first besides his biological mother, this younger brother is the only one.

Sighing in his heart, Zang Lu stood up and supported Prince An who was weeping up and down with his own hands.

"Sui Yingtai has the heart of disobedience, you are at most negligent, and I don't blame you, you cried first."

Holding Zang Lu's arms tightly with trembling hands, Prince An's tears were like broken beads, and big ones hit the imperial kiln bricks of Zhaoren Hall, leaving a dark dark trace.

"No...no...the younger brother is guilty... guilty..." His voice trembled, "The Sui family was recommended by the younger brother to the emperor...it was the younger brother who didn't know people...the younger brother is guilty..."

At that time, it had been three years since the death of the first empress, the central palace was empty, and Emperor Suwu did not indulge in beauty, so the few concubines in the harem all tried their best to become a phoenix in one fell swoop.

In order to prevent the concubines from fighting each other, and also prevent the natal forces behind each concubine from competing with each other, Zang Lu simply planned to choose a new queen from the women outside the palace.

The emperor's heirs in the palace were weak, especially the princes, none of them were raised safely, and the only remaining seven princes who were only one seedling Miao Miao did not seem to be very strong.

Prince An, who always thinks about the emperor's brother, is also very troubled by this, worrying and sleepless.

It happened that Sui Yingtai, who was always looking for him, saw his sad face, so he asked him what he was worried about, why not tell him and see if he could help.

At that time, Sui Yingtai was just a handsome and handsome man from a rich family in the eyes of Prince An, who was well-informed and had a good affinity with him, so he poured out his troubles to him while drinking.

Unexpectedly, Sui Yingtai drank the fine wine in the glass in one gulp, smiled and said, "My sister is just in her prime! Isn't she the best candidate?"

I don't know if he said it sincerely or drunkenly, but Prince An began to think seriously.

The Sui family was one of the most well-known wealthy households in Yingzhou. There was only one uncle in the family who was a moderate fifth-rank civil servant in the court, so he could barely be regarded as an official family.

Moreover, the Sui family was famous for being fertile, and there were many children in the family, only Sui Yingtai had 22 in his generation.

Although Sui Yingtai has only one younger sister, she must have the good blood of the Sui family, who can spread the branches and leaves for the royal family.

The most important thing is that the Sui family has nothing to rely on, so it is best to control it.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Prince An immediately made a decision to recommend the Sui family woman to his imperial brother.
