Chapter 114: Planning
Mingzhu and his father's second uncle went to the study, and the old lady raised his head and glanced at them, "Are you okay?" Are you hurt? There was some concern in his eyes.
"I'm fine, I'm not hurt. Master Sun is very powerful, thanks to him. Mingzhu sat next to the old lady with a smile.
"Well, he's a capable man, I'm relieved that you're not hurt. Let Sun Jin investigate this matter, and by the way, take a look at his ability, boss, you go to check Duanwang's Mansion, and you have to investigate quietly. Duanwangfu is no better than the Chen family, he has private soldiers in his hands, and it is a cancer that the emperor has been trying to eliminate for many years. The old lady spoke slowly.
"Yes."
"Grandfather, shall we forget it then? They have gone too far, and their hearts are so vicious, how can they just stop like this. The boss, Shangguan Yu, clenched his fists indignantly.
"Who said I was going to forget it, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, what's the hurry. There are many opportunities for revenge. The old lady smiled leisurely, and her eyes were dark.
"It's not easy to take back King Duan's military power." Shangguan Peng furrowed his brows and said.
The old lady turned around and asked, "What does Brother Yu think?" â
Shangguan Yu thought for a while before saying: "I think it will be better to break each one, the four princes have united together over the years, and it is quite difficult for Wang Ye Rong to deal with it alone, and it is also an important reason why the clan is like a mass of scattered sand and does not play its due role, as for the military power, Sun Tzu is not talented, and he thinks that it is fast to recover it in the next ten years, after all, good generals are hard to find, and the sea is unpredictable, no matter how hateful Duan Wang is, but he has some talent." â
The old lady showed a somewhat comfortable smile in her eyes, and lit a pearl with her hand, meaning to let her say.
Mingzhu thought for a while and said, "Ten years is too long, and the emperor can't wait that long." At most, the emperor will do it in five years. Big brother is right, if you can break their alliance then it will no longer be difficult to break them, I don't believe they are really so brotherly, but it's all for the sake of interests, if the interests are unbalanced, then what will be the result? Before you get your hands on the Northwest. Duanwang must have targeted countermeasures, otherwise it is likely to take care of one or the other. â
The old lady nodded appreciatively, this vision is really good, and she has already thought deeply.
"What do you think of Zhou Jin?" The old lady asked again. This time it's still about asking Mingzhu.
"It's good to get some experience over time, but it's just a good thing. Duanwang has experienced the cruel fight for the heir, and how can Zhou Jin, who has not yet retired, be compared. If today's matter is changed to Zhou Jin, I will directly dispatch the dead to strangle me and teach the Shangguan family a lesson. Giving the emperor a dismount means that even if King Duan is not in the capital, he still has the ability to protect his family. But he played a four-way game, he had the means but was too tender, and it didn't work well if he had too many scruples. The lesson of dying a concubine is enough to make the emperor and his family hurt for a while. Maybe my dad will be depressed too, and it will even affect it farther, so he can intervene in the northwest. â
Although she is only a daughter, once she dies, Shangguan Hao will definitely be sad and annoyed, and she may not be able to cheer up in a short time, and the blow of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person is still very big. Especially the grandparents may be sad and sick, and naturally there will be a mess, and the Shangguan family will have a chance to take advantage of the chaos.
Shangguan Hao looked at his daughter with some surprise, but he didn't expect this kid to be bold and ruthless!
The old lady smiled and nodded, "Yes, your method is indeed ruthless and effective, but being too radical may cause a counterattack, and it is not cost-effective to do things without too much interest." â
"Who said that there are not too many benefits, if it is me, I want the northwest trade route, this trade road is the emperor's acquiescence to reward our family. Isn't it worth fighting for the protection of military fortifications? What do they want? Money and power are indispensable. Mingzhu calmly spoke.
"Did the emperor say anything?" The old lady's eyes were full of smiles, and she was obviously satisfied.
"Not really. The emperor will not say anything valuable to me. But I don't think the emperor is angry with me, and I'm quite happy, and I don't know anything else. Sister Yarou's marriage is surprisingly smooth, okay, I'm surprised, I thought that the children of ordinary families or scholars would be good, but I didn't expect it to be a side branch of the Zhao family. I thought about inviting the Zhao family girl to my house in a few days. I will also hold a flower banquet and invite Sister Yarou to come, and the eldest brother and second brother will also call the son-in-law of the Zhao family, let's also give them the opportunity to create zĂ o, so that the elders can meet and get to know each other. She looked at the elders in a soliciting tone.
Shangguan Peng smiled and nodded, "I think it's good, if you want to do it, let's make it bigger, let my sister-in-law come forward to write an invitation and invite some familiar Qingliu family ladies to come over to enjoy the flowers, your girl's family is playing together, and our grandfather will go to the front yard to drink." â
"Well, it's okay, Brother Hao can do this."
"Yes, it's my mother's birthday in a few days, why don't you use this day? It just so happened that the house was also lively. Shangguan Hao thought for a while and said.
"Yes." The old lady smiled.
"The Queen Mother promised to wait for Sister Yarou to get married, and she would reward her with some things and make her sister's face." Mingzhu smiled and spoke, they are all surnamed with the same surname, and they will naturally spare no effort to carry them, and in return, the clansmen will also support the fathers and brothers at home with their hearts.
"Well, you have worked hard, I know that you have worked hard in front of the emperor. Brother Hao went to the treasury to get two three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng and rewarded Sun Jin and Mama Zhao, they blessed my granddaughter with merit, and my old man remembered their goodness. The old lady was generous and immediately rewarded the meritorious man.
"Yes, my son will do it in a while."
"The training talent you said last time, but there is a plan, tell me about it." The old lady looked at Mingzhu and asked.
"Yes, my granddaughter thinks it's a pity that Master Sun doesn't have all the skills, but it's too wasteful to protect me. It's better to find more children to make him a master, and there is no need for Master Sun to face human contacts. I see that Master Sun does not have great ambitions, and it is enough to enter a place like the Criminal Department to investigate cases in the future.
If you can select some talented children from your family, or buy some beggars and young children to teach, regardless of men and women, ten years is enough time to train a group of talented people. The princes are getting bigger, and our news channels are still not broad enough, I read that it was mentioned in the book that the Xiao Cavalry Battalion of the Tang Dynasty is very powerful, as well as the secret guards and dead soldiers. We don't need that much, but we still need people who can find out the news. Mingzhu thought about it and said it, in fact, what she wanted most was a secret guard, but this seemed to be a little inappropriate for Shangguan's family, and it was likely to cause trouble for the family. (To be continued.) )
