Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 255
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Gu Changyan later allowed Chu Xi to attack the Chu family, resulting in the Chu family's death, injury and misery.

Thinking about this, Chu Zhi asked without answering, "Father, what do you think of Han Zhan's dereliction of duty in the northwest?"

Chu Zhang stared at his daughter: "What are you trying to say!"

Chu Zhi sighed: "Someone told me today that Han Zhan's trip to the northwest was planned by someone. The purpose is to have the military power in the hands of the Zhongyonghou, and at the same time suppress the Chen family and play a deterrent role."

Chu Zhang's face changed slightly, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Chu Zhi said: "In less than two days, everyone said that His Majesty was clearing the way for His Highness the Crown Prince, but I think my father should be clearer than me about the facts. Today's His Majesty is more suspicious than anyone else. He is ruthless and ruthless, but he is stupid and inactive. He wants all living beings to submit to him and wants to control everyone. Therefore, what we need to guard against now is not whether the crown prince can keep his position as the heir apparent, or which prince can have the last laugh, but whether everyone can hold on. Until the day when the new emperor ascends the throne."

Even Zhongyonghou started to attack, which shows that His Majesty has deep thoughts.

Chu Zhi could foresee that after the Zhongyonghou Hou handed over the military power, all the ministers in the court would be silent like cicadas, walking on thin ice, fearful, not even having a good night's sleep, for fear that he would be next.

The more Chu Zhi said, the more condensed Chu Zhang's face became, and the look in his eyes became more and more bewildered.

Chu Zhi knew what his father was worried about, sighed, poured a cup for his father himself, and the tea cup fell on the table without the slightest sound, which shows that Chu Zhi's etiquette is excellent.

I just heard her say: "Father, my daughter knows your worries and worries, but it's impossible to protect yourself wisely in the current situation. The eldest sister married into the Yongxing Hou Mansion, which belongs to the prince's party, and the six My younger sister married the fourth prince as a side concubine, but my elder brother is very close to the sixth prince, and now I'm added...Father, not only His Majesty is watching you now, I'm afraid even the ministers of the court are paying attention to you all the time Let’s see who you will help! Less than a month will be New Year’s Eve. According to the usual practice, this matter will not be mentioned again before the year. For the time being, it can be comforted for a while. After the Lantern Festival is over, there will be another dispute in the court , At that time, even if you want to retreat, there is no way out.”

Chu Zhi made a thorough analysis, hit the nail on the head, and was well-organized. Chu Zhang unconsciously followed his daughter's train of thought, and said to the imperial city, "Although our Chu family is not a high-ranking official, we know how to be a loyal minister. I won't protect anyone." , only support His Majesty!"

"Father is loyal, daughter knows it naturally, but His Majesty doesn't know it."

Chu Zhang instinctively wanted to refute, but was suppressed by Chu Zhi's words: "Father wants to say that Your Majesty is loyal to you, but what about Zhongyong Hou? Do you dare to say that Your Majesty doesn't know that Zhongyong Hou is full of loyalty? Didn’t you do this for military power?”

The air fell into a brief silence, Chu Zhi sighed, no longer concealed, and said: "I will not hide it from my father, today Concubine Xiangui ordered her daughter to enter the palace, at first it was for her daughter's marriage, the daughter did not agree, but she has agreed that she will help the prince."

"Nonsense!" Chu Zhang stood up abruptly, his eyes were sharp, "What the hell are you doing at home like a girl? Although Your Majesty loves the Prince very much, he is the Son of Heaven after all. Besides, Your Majesty is in good health, so you are so anxious about the battle team. just in case……"

Chu Zhang was immediately hurt by the daughter's anger.

"Do you think that your brother is close to the sixth prince, and you really can't stand in the camp of the sixth prince? You really..." Chu Zhang was speechless, "some things are not as simple as you see on the surface, It's just nonsense!"

"Father, calm down. My daughter knows what I'm doing and why my brother is so close to the sixth prince. Every time something happens to the sixth prince, my brother is safe and sound." Chu Zhi raised his eyes and looked at Chu Zhang, "Because my brother is really loyal to you." People are not the sixth prince, but His Majesty."

How could such a cautious person as Chu Zhang give birth to such a simple-minded person as Chu Yan? What's more, Chu Zhang attached great importance to Chu Yan and placed high hopes on him. Naturally, he wanted to teach him personally, so Chu Yan was His Majesty's eyeliner beside the sixth prince.

The purpose is to stir up disputes between the sixth prince and the fourth prince, so as to clear the way for the prince.

"You—" Chu Zhang's eyes narrowed suddenly, with an unconcealable astonishment on his face.

He suddenly discovered that this daughter is terrifyingly thoughtful and meticulous. This kind of courage and perceptiveness is probably rare in men, not to mention that she is not ready yet.

At this time, Chu Zhi no longer cared about showing his hole cards in front of his father. Aunt Huang told her not to be too smart, otherwise it would arouse her father's speculation. In his eyes, it was a battle in the back house.

But it is different now, what Chu Zhi is talking about is the current situation in the court, which is related to the life and death of the Chu family and the future honor and disgrace.

Therefore, the bigger her cards are, the more her father will be of one mind with her.

His Majesty's action against Zhongyonghou's Mansion also reminded Chu Zhi that Chu's Mansion had to start planning, otherwise it would be like Zhongyonghou's Mansion, forced to a dead end and had to cut off its tail to escape.

It's a pity that geckos can live without their tails, but humans can't.

"Father, there is not much time left for us. It is a good thing to be loyal to His Majesty, but have there been fewer loyal ministers who have died since ancient times? The concubine Xiangui wanted her daughter to marry the prince, but she took a fancy to the branch behind her daughter and wanted to give the prince a new life." Help, but have you ever thought about it? Concubine Xian Gui has had this idea since the Mid-Autumn Festival. The day when the four princes who have been mentioned together are married to the side concubine has been fixed. Why has it been so long since I became the prince and side concubine? Even Meng Wan, the crown prince, has been delayed until now? Even though the Meng family does not want Meng Wan to marry the crown prince, and they have to deal with it, but if the sage really has this intention, who can stop him? In the end, he still does not want to. I think Lai Xian Guifei has seen His Majesty's intentions. If you are thinking about it, you will invite me to the palace again and again, and start from me."

"Therefore, no matter from what point of view, this marriage cannot be agreed. Since the purpose of the imperial concubine is to make me help the prince, it is better for me to agree directly. One more ally is better than one more marriage relationship. , but also reassuring.”

After Chu Zhang heard this, he was silent for a moment, and asked: "Have you thought about the future? Everyone can see that the prince is not suitable for that position, at least not right now. Besides, the prince himself has no intention of fighting for power. What if the crown prince really... how will you deal with yourself then?"

Chu Zhi understood what his father meant, he meant that the crown prince was born at an untimely time.

"But right now only the crown prince will not harm Zhongliang!"

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Chu Zhang was really shocked by his daughter's boldness, and he didn't know how many times he said this sentence, "If others hear this, you may die Not sure."
