Chapter 11 Let's Wait and See
"Yes, I will keep an eye on him. I have inquired about it, and there is nothing special about this Su Nancheng on the way to Beiyi. However, Fei Jiu treats him very unusually, but I don't know why. He just said that he is like Fei Jiu. Old man. These words..." Mr. Ma shook his head.

"Fei Jiu?" The prince was very interested: "That being said, Gu wants to see who this Seventh Young Master Su is. Fei Jiu, that fox, never does useless things."

"Yes." Lord Ma replied.

Su Nancheng's work is nothing but sorting out some unimportant documents for the prince.

It is impossible for him to come into contact with something that is truly secret.

At noon, I had a meal with other officials in the East Palace. I have to say that the food in the East Palace is not as good as Zhan Shifu.

"His Majesty's birthday is coming. I heard that it will be a big event this year."

"But this year, His Majesty is not going to live a whole life."

"I don't know. Anyway, it's going to be a big deal. Your Highness has been busy for a few days."

When Su Nancheng came out of the house, he met two eunuchs talking.

The two hurriedly greeted him when they saw him: "Master Su."

"Well, it's you two, I don't intend to listen, His Majesty is going to celebrate his birthday?" Su Nancheng asked.

"Yes, I heard the news from the Central Palace that His Majesty is going to celebrate his birthday." One of the eunuchs said with a smile, and the two left.

Su Nancheng raised his eyebrows, this emperor is really interesting.

The emperor is 53 this year, so it doesn't count if he says he is strong this year.But if you want to say how old you really are, you are probably in the stage of not accepting old age.

The prince objected to the fact that the emperor wanted to hold a big birthday.

His reason is that the national treasury is now empty, and the nine princesses are newly mourned.Not suitable.

Yes, the final characterization of the nine princesses is that she died of illness.The matter of being robbed was covered up like this.

He just said that, and there are countless rebuttals, how can I keep a filial piety for my daughter but her birthday?

As a result, the prince was once again scolded by Emperor Long.Close your doors and think about the past.

Emperor Long's birthday, it should be celebrated or celebrated.

There are many courtiers in the court who are against the prince, but there are also many courtiers who will not support the prince.

When the dynasty has reached this point, there will be more and more flatterers.

If you step on the prince, you can change yourself to rise to the top, and some people are willing.

The dynasty has decayed so far, and the prince bought people's hearts by fighting against the emperor. I really don't know whether it is right or wrong.

But after entering the East Palace, Su Nancheng could see that the prince's status was not so precarious.If the third prince wanted to replace him, he might have a long way to go.

Su Nancheng was quite surprised when he received General Fei's letter.

In the letter, General Fei briefly talked about the situation of suppressing bandits.

I didn't say too detailed, just a general idea.

No details about the other party's personal affairs were disclosed, which involved leaking secrets.

He also didn't say how he is now as an official. It stands to reason that General Fei, who is far away in Luyang, shouldn't know.

But if he didn't know, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to write a letter.

Su Nancheng wrote the reply only after returning home.

He hesitated for a long time before picking up the pen before dropping the first word.

He also simply talked about his current official position and made a few gossips.

At the end, I asked when General Fei and General Zhu and General Hu will be able to return to Beijing?His Majesty's birthday is approaching, and there must be a big deal. Wouldn't it be a pity if we couldn't congratulate His Majesty on his birthday?
After receiving the reply, General Fei handed the letter to General Zhou: "Look, this kid is really smart."

General Zhou frowned after reading it: "Your Majesty is going to do something big this year?"

"Hehe." Fei Jiu sneered, "It's useless for you to tell me, what does the emperor think so much about?"

General Zhu took a deep breath: "Tell me the truth, why do you value that child?"

"At the beginning, I really thought he looked like my fellow countryman. Later, he was in a bad situation, and it was not easy to think about going to Beiyi this time. He has deep thoughts, and he is not a person who has lived under others for a long time. If I really want to use him , That’s his origin. The Su family in Chengkanghou’s Mansion. All of us have blood and deep feuds. Now we are being suppressed by those dogs in the court. Are you in a hurry? If you can’t stand up again, you will be old.”

"Rely on a child to turn over?" General Zhu was puzzled.

"No, of course not relying on him. It's just someone who is available, why not? Don't worry, you don't have to feel guilty. I used him, but look at this letter, is he using me? He easily told you this news , may not have other intentions."

General Zhu sighed: "Forget it, I have never been as smart as you. If you think about it, the child was born in the Gongqinghou's mansion, and he is not innocent."

"It's becoming more and more unsophisticated now. I didn't expect this kid to sneak into the presence of the prince. Now I have to look more, if it can be used, I will use it anyway." Fei Jiu said.

General Zhu smiled, shook his head and went about his own business.

As for the letter, of course it was burned after reading it.

Because the prince was grounded, the atmosphere in the East Palace was of course not very good.

But the prince didn't really make a mistake, no matter how stupid the emperor was, he couldn't keep him grounded for too long.It was untied in five days.

The confrontation has also been fought, and the prince will not say anything against it now.

However, the matter of arranging His Majesty's birthday fell into the hands of the third prince.

It seems like a good job at first glance, but once you take it, you know it's a hot potato.

Since it is going to be big, it will cost money.

Today the world is not peaceful, and taxes are much heavier than 20 years ago.

The empty treasury is not a word, it is a real hole.

He had no money in the first place, so he gave Princess Rong An a lot of gold as a dowry, just to keep the Beiyi people from being angry.

The third prince really has to deal with breaking his teeth.

He doesn't pay, he can only squeeze others.

At this time, the third prince thought bitterly, could it be that the prince did this on purpose?After a few words of confrontation with the father, the mess was thrown out.

Su Nancheng looked at it with emotion, sure enough, the prince may be weak, but he is by no means incompetent.

This person, what he hears is always false, and he has to see it with his own eyes to know what he is like.

After entering the Eastern Palace for a month, he finally had the opportunity to do something.

The crown prince arranged a group of people to go south secretly, all they wanted was to check Xianzhou's taxes last year.

In this team, there is Su Nancheng.

He is just a follower.

It's just that this walk takes as little as two months and as much as half a year.How could the Su family not know?

This Xianzhou prefect is the third prince, Yue Zhang.

By now, Su Nancheng completely understood.Today is the real purpose of his being transferred by the prince.

Sending him to investigate the third prince's father-in-law, this is really a difference between right and left.

If he supports the third prince, he will inform him.

If you don't support it... then it's a good thing to cause trouble for the third prince, isn't it?
It is also a good thing for the prince if there are internal problems in the Su family.

Su Nancheng suddenly felt that he was still very useful.

After making a big circle, his pawn became more important.

Because it was going south secretly, Su Nancheng only said that he didn't know where he was going after returning home.

He went out with Liansheng.

This trip is also dangerous, but there are also opportunities.We'll see.
