Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

Soon after, someone in the court actually got a copy of the fifth prince's book, accusing him of forming a clique for personal gain and wooing courtiers.

That person was from the second prince's camp. The two princes fought openly and secretly, and were both punished by the emperor in the end.

For the emperor, the most despised thing was the struggle for power between the princes, even if they were his two most beloved sons.

After Shen Luochen went to court, he brought the news to Su Liu.

"Great, our previous actions were not in vain!" Su Liu showed joy on his face and clapped his hands excitedly.

"Although these two people have been suppressed, their camp has not collapsed. We still need to continue to be careful." Shen Luochen reminded, and then changed the topic, "There is news from your father and he will visit in the afternoon. "

"Father is coming?" Su Liu was a little surprised. She had not seen General Wen since the last reception banquet.

Shen Luochen lowered his head and pondered, his expression a little solemn:

"Maybe... the time is coming soon."

In the afternoon, General Wen arrived as expected. Since it was his family meeting, he was not so formal. Su Liu cooked a table of food and wine in his kitchen, and the three of them chatted while eating.

"I have assembled all the troops of the Wen family. Now we just have to wait for the time to come. We can take action at any time."

General Wen's expression was unprecedentedly serious, and he got to the point when he opened his mouth.

This sentence was like a depth charge, causing waves in the hearts of the two of them.

Shen Luochen became a little excited and nodded, saying:

"I have raised some private soldiers over the years, which can be combined with the Wen family's army. I let them all be at the disposal of the general."

Although he himself has a high level of force and has been training troops for many years, General Wen is more experienced than him in deploying troops and generals.

General Wen nodded, somewhat indignantly.

"My Wen family actually followed such a mediocre master, causing my son to die tragically. Not long ago, he almost killed my daughter. It's time to avenge this!"

He had completely given up on the emperor now, and what was left was only burning hatred.

"Yes, it's time for my family to rest in peace." Shen Luochen agreed in a low voice, his eyes dark.

He has a deeper understanding of hatred. He has stayed anonymous for so many years just for this day.

"I can't help you much, so I'll give you a toast. I hope we can succeed in one fell swoop!"

Su Liu raised his wine glass and spoke to the two of them solemnly.

Shen Luochen and General Wen were both stunned, and then raised their glasses in cooperation.

"Who said my daughter can't help?" General Wen showed a rare loving smile, "Didn't the soft hedgehog armor from before directly help us turn defeat into victory?"

Su Liu scratched the back of his head sheepishly, feeling a little guilty.

After all, she bought the soft hedgehog armor in the military market, not invented it.

However, these words gave her some inspiration. She suddenly thought that she could exchange for some modern arms. When the day came for the army to start, it would definitely come in handy.

As the three of them chatted, they came to the next key issue.

"If this comes to pass, who does the general think should be recommended to succeed him?" Shen Luochen asked.

Hearing this, General Wen was slightly startled.

"You don't want to..."

He only said half of what he said, but Shen Luochen understood what he meant, chuckled lightly, and shook his head.

"The general misunderstood, I am not interested in that position." It turns out that for so long, General Wen felt that he was going to rebel and wanted to replace him.

Unexpectedly, Shen Luochen just wanted revenge and was not actually interested in imperial power, wealth or anything like that.

General Wen frowned in thought and whispered:

"Of the princes in the court... there is probably only one available."

"Seventh prince?" Su Liu and Shen Luochen said these three words almost in unison.

General Wen was stunned for a moment, a flash of surprise flashed across his face, then nodded and explained:

"Among the current princes, the seventh prince is the smartest. Unfortunately, his mother and concubine have a low status, so they have never been reused. As for the others... they are all cynical."

Hearing General Wen's comments, Su Liu and Shen Luochen looked at each other and nodded.

It seems that their feelings were not wrong.

The last time they met by chance in the palace, they felt that this person could become a great person in the future.

"In this case, we should find a way to meet the seventh prince again." Su Liu said after thinking.

"It's not difficult to meet the Seventh Prince." General Wen said in a deep voice, "He has almost no confidants around him. He only has one eunuch following him. As long as he can bribe that eunuch, he can be brought out of the palace to meet him."

Su Liu and Shen Luochen both had surprise on their faces, and they made a quick decision:

"Then just do as your father says!"

After the three people discussed it, they decided to invite the Seventh Prince out and meet in the largest restaurant in the capital. There was a mix of people there, so it was most convenient to hide from others.

General Wen ordered his men to handle the matter, and good news came within a few days. The Seventh Prince agreed to meet.

When they entered the restaurant, the shopkeeper greeted them warmly, obviously recognizing General Wen's identity.

General Wen directly opened a private room and asked the shopkeeper to call for the best wine and dishes in the restaurant.

Not long after, the seventh prince came over with the eunuch.

The seventh prince was dressed in plain clothes and dressed very low-key. If it weren't for his outstanding temperament, no one would have guessed his identity.

When he saw General Wen, he just gave a slight salute and was not overly warm.

Then, he saw Shen Luochen and Su Liu again, and he obviously recognized them, with a flash of surprise on his face.

"Your Highness Seventh, we meet again." Shen Luochen smiled slightly and nodded to him.

The Seventh Prince was only surprised for a moment, then regained his composure and walked to sit across from the others.

"Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, I insist on asking you to come out of the palace to meet me this time because there is something I want to discuss." General Wen said straight to the point.

The Seventh Prince seemed to have anticipated General Wen's purpose. He just smiled slightly and was not surprised.

"General Wen has any orders, but it doesn't matter."

"Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, I have heard that you are very concerned about state affairs. Do you have any good strategies to help your Majesty govern Dayong?" General Wen asked with a smile.

Although the seventh prince is only seventeen years old, he already acts very cautiously and steadily.

"How dare you discuss the affairs of the imperial court at will?"

"It doesn't matter. We are all here today. Your Majesty the Seventh Prince might as well talk." General Wen stroked his beard and smiled very kindly.

The seventh prince paused and then said:

"I don't have many ideas at the moment, but in my opinion, the biggest problem for the imperial court now is internal and external troubles. There are intruders from the northwest and corrupt officials are rampant inside. I'm afraid this situation will not last long. "
