Chapter Twenty-Nine: Who Dominates the Country (3)

On the ninth day of the second lunar month, in the evening, Su Lan stood in the east corner of the palace wearing a plain heavy brocade cloak embroidered with moire, and Zheng Yu, who she saw for the first time in a few days, stood side by side with her. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"In this way, I'm afraid you already knew about Xuanxi's anti-water?" Zheng Yu's tone was a little annoyed, "I'm afraid he has been hiding this secret line for a long time." ”

"You'll probably know better than I do. Su Lan didn't look at him, only gathered the fox velvet on the neckline of his cloak, now that it is spring, Chu Jing, who is located in the Central Plains, is still in the cold spring, "It's not so much that he is anti-water, but that he is a fine worker." I only know that when he became a confidant of the abolished prince, he was loyal to the third master. ”

Zheng Yu's face was shocked, and said, "Seriously, I didn't expect him to be a fine work anyway!"

"It's you who think about Ye and Xuanxi very simply. Su Lan shook her head, "People like him, they look like those pedantic old stubborns, who talk about orthodoxy all day long? As for Xuan Ang, no matter how Xuan Xi flutters, have you ever seen that he supports the East Palace?"

"As for Zhang Peng, you probably know at this time that this is Xuanxi's substitute ghost. Su Lan looked at the group of forbidden soldiers in his sight more and more clearly, and the speed of his speech was much faster, "A position of the head of the Zhang family pulled him into the water." Xuanxi and I have a share in this. ”

"What about Jiang Yuan?" Zheng Yu flew a stroke, which was interrupted by Su Lan waving his hand.

"You see that the relatives of this East Palace have not been disposed of, where is the turn to get Jiang Yuan. But the original intention was to give poisoned wine, and I could only do my best to keep him in exile. Su Lan sighed and said, "To be honest, I can't bear him to die." ”

Several carriages stopped in front of Su Lan at this time, surrounded by the forbidden army. Shen Yi, who was dressed in a crimson robe, did not hide his handsomeness with a cold expression, and he didn't look at Zheng Yu, but only said to Su Lan: "The maid of the East Palace is here, and she has entrusted it to Yinzhi." ”

"Thank you. Su Lan smiled, took a step forward, and said, "I'm afraid that there will be a lot of stalls to comb the cage in the past few days, so I will enter the palace." ”

Shen Yi didn't greet her either, only nodded, and left with his subordinates. Zheng Yu kept frowning at his back, with a little disdain floating in his eyes, and said to Su Lan: "I just can't look down on the Shen family?

Su Lan glanced at him, and saw that there was no fierce emotion, so she ordered Song Fan to escort the maids of the East Palace directly into the inner palace, and handed them over to the new crown princess Wang of the third princess, and took care of them first.

The Zheng and Shen families have always been discordant for a long time. Although the Ninth Family is respected, there is order on the inside. It is recognized by the world that the head of the Su family surpasses the other eight families, and the Xuan family has also sat firmly in the second position of the family for a hundred years, and there has been a faint tendency to provoke the Su family in the past 20 years. These three or four positions swayed among Zheng Shen. The Zheng family is powerful and not prosperous, but the Shen family is full of talents but not as strong as the Zheng family, and the two families have been fighting each other for several generations, and in this generation, this is now much more relaxed.

"What is it?" Turning around from the inner palace, seeing that the relatives of the East Palace had been taken over by the queen, Su Lan and Zheng Yu walked side by side through the palace road, "There is a secret competition between the families all the time. If the Li family is like your family and has only one son, Li You doesn't have to be so painful and entangled at this moment. ”

"Isn't Zhang Ping also Zhang Huan's only son?"

"Where is your gold. Su Lan paused, turned to look at Zheng Yu, "In the family, if you don't have cousins, are you the only one?"

The Zheng family has been passed down for four generations so far, so Zheng Duo's father and son are extremely valuable in the Zheng clan. The men of the Zheng family are infatuated, but the luck of these generations is probably not good, they all became widowers early, and they did not accept concubines or continue the strings, so they guarded their sons wholeheartedly. Zheng Yu's mother, who went when he was seven years old, is the daughter of the Qiao family and the sister of the current head of the Qiao family, so Zheng Yu and Qiao Anting's brothers are middle cousins.

"Master Hou. The two of them were about to leave the palace, but they were caught up by Liu Yuan, the new head of the inner court who rushed over, "It just so happens that you two have not left the palace yet, Your Highness has an edict, you two hurry up and go to the Qian'an Palace." ”

"Gonggong Liu, how did you pass the Qian'an Palace, what happened?" This Qian'an Palace is the emperor's daily office, and now the emperor is "recuperating" in the Taiji Palace, the dormitory of the back court, and the Qian'an Palace is empty. In the three days since the palace change, there has been no court meeting, and the ministers are all in this hall.

"Master Li is here, taking Gongzi Li with him. Liu Yuan wiped his sweat, but in this early spring weather, there were beads of sweat on his forehead, "It's just that Li Gongzi is dead." ”

"Dead?" Zheng Yu's voice couldn't help but be a little higher, and when he looked at Su Lan, he was also surprised.

However, Su Lan didn't seem to be surprised at all, and only said to Liu Yuan: "This is not a trivial matter, my father-in-law has to go to another family to pass the decree, I won't delay you, I will send some forbidden troops with you to follow." ”

Liu Yuan also owed a debt, so he hurriedly led his subordinates to the outside of the palace.

"The night before yesterday, the old man of my family ordered His Majesty to lock up the ladies of the East Palace, and after asking the guilty comrades, he went to Li's house. Su Lan and Zheng Yu turned around and walked towards the inner palace again, but they couldn't help but sigh as they spoke, "I expected the result of this at that time, but it was still too miserable." ”

"It is said that there is no father and son in the heavenly family, but in fact, the same is true of Gaomen. Zheng Yu gathered the cloak on his body and seemed to shudder, "To put it bluntly, it's just that the latter is chosen between love and power, although it will be hesitant and painful when making this decision." ”

Su Lan's expression was serious but not sad, and said, "The Zhang family is the heir, the Li family is the heir." When there is a change of power, the family cannot be left alone, and it is even more created at this time. Time has changed, but I am afraid that the parents will rack their brains to stick to the house for these two surnames. ”

"When fighting for power and profit, I want to put each other to death, and now the victory and defeat have been divided, but I have to shake hands and make peace, and help the family that was destroyed by my own hands. Zheng Yu smiled bitterly, "If I have a brother, I will not be involved in court politics, this mess is really unappetizing." ”

"What are you afraid of, even if his uncle retreats, I will stand in the center, and I will protect you. Su Lan smiled, her expression calm, as if what she said was just an ordinary thing that had been realized now.

"Then even if I am for myself, I must give up this body, help you, and stand in the center. Zheng Yu also grinned.
