Chapter 404: Doing it with your own body
Su Liuying took a lychee, dialed it and handed it to Su Wan, and said: "It's not stingy, it's boring to live separately, it's hard to see each other all day, and I and the other two sisters agree to live together." ”
Su Wan took the lychee and ate it, and said with a smile: "It tastes good, where did you get it from?" ”
"The fish bought it at the market." Su Liuying said with a wink.
Su Wan's face stiffened, and she changed the topic and said, "By the way, on the way here, I saw a palace next to it, where are the people coming and going?" ”
"You said Fengming Palace, that is where Sister Yu and Sister Qing handle government affairs."
"Didn't you say that they were removed from their official positions?" Su Wan frowned.
"Yes, but the prime minister allowed them to intervene in the affairs of the household department and the Privy Council, so he arranged a place for them to do things."
"Isn't that the same as not being dismissed?"
"You can say the same thing." Su Liuying tapped her chin with her index finger.
"You're so easy to say." Su Wan looked anxious, grabbed her wrist and said:
"Do you know that your current situation is a precursor to falling out of favor, if you don't do something, you will cry in the future!"
"Sister, you're here again, by the way, I heard that Jin Shang sent someone to find you again, what did he say?" Su Liuying quickly changed the subject.
Su Wan was stunned for a moment, and said, "You are quite well-informed, and I actually planned to talk to you about this when I came over." ”
"It was the Spiegel Temple that sent someone to tell me that there were a few sneaky Koreans who had come to Hangzhou."
"Spiegel?"
"It's the Qi Ng newspaper organization under Xiang Gong."
Su Wan nodded and said, "Jin Shang sent someone to negotiate with us, and he hopes that you can support him in restoring the country." ”
"Why does he want me to support him?" Su Liuying wondered.
"My stupid sister, your Xianggong is the lord of Wu State, and now that everyone knows about it all over the world, Jin Shang should have heard some rumors, so I hope your Xianggong can support him."
"I won't talk to Xianggong about this kind of thing." The Suliu warbler lowers its eyelids.
Su Wan smiled: "I knew that you were the reaction, so I have already rejected them." ”
Speaking of this, Su Wan became a little more serious and said, "Zhenxing, I heard that a while ago, the Goryeo people took advantage of the war between the Liao State and the Zhou State to sneak attack the Liao State, and they returned defeated, and now Wang Jian's prestige has plummeted. ”
"Are the Khitans really so powerful?" Su Liuying muttered, in her heart, the Goryeo people destroyed their own country, and they were very powerful, but she didn't expect that they still couldn't beat the Khitans.
"Of course, even the Zhou State in the Central Plains lost to them."
"What does that sister mean?"
"I don't mean anything, but maybe your father-in-law will ask about the situation of Goryeo in the future, and you can't say anything that you don't know."
"My sister is really thoughtful." Su Liuying smiled and peeled another lychee for her.
After that, the two sisters gossiped, and at noon, Su Wan had a meal in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and then said goodbye and left.
After leaving the palace, Su Wan ordered the coachman to go around the West Lake first, and she sat in the carriage and pondered silently.
This trip really made her realize that her sister's husband was a different king, and the other party did not talk about pomp and circumstance, let the three concubines live with her, and did not restrict their freedom.
And my sister is right, she is indeed not neglected or bullied, which can be seen from the attitude of those subordinates towards her.
She waited in the Houfu for a long time, and knew that the best place to judge a person's status was the attitude of those subordinates.
If any master is left out in the cold, then although the subordinates are respectful on the surface, inadvertently, they will always reveal flaws.
This made her completely relieved about her sister's life, and at the same time, the idea of recovering the country that had been buried in her heart grew quietly.
Back at Puning Fang, she returned to her restaurant, and as soon as she entered the door, Lai Qing hurriedly greeted her.
"How?"
"Look at your urgency." Su Wan smiled and said, "Go up and speak." ”
When he went up to the second floor, Lai Qing closed the door and asked the same question: "What's wrong?" What do you say over there? ”
Su Wan took off her cloak, sat down on the chair, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Zhenxing has already asked for you, and there should be a will to come over in a few days, and the official position is the deputy inspector of the Spiegel Academy." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness! Lai Qing was ecstatic.
"Isn't it just a deputy inspector? Look, you're pleased. ”
Lai Qing scratched the back of his neck and said with a smile: "What's the matter, it's also a six-rank official." ”
In the past, he worked hard for Cai Changchang with Lian Ze, and even Lian Ze didn't get mixed up with an official position, not to mention him, the deputy inspector was already a pretty good position for him.
"But I heard that the Mirror Academy is in charge of Qi NG's newspaper, isn't that similar to the Secret Guard? I remember you said that you don't want to live in the shadow of Y anymore, if you don't like it, you can tell me, and I'll talk to the real star again. Su Wan said seriously.
Lai Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, the Spiegel Courtyard and the Dark Guard can only be said to be a little similar, in fact, there is a big difference, the Secret Guard has no official position, and the Spiegel Courtyard is different, it should be more similar to the Imperial Court Division of the Tang Kingdom." ”
"As long as you're okay." Su Wan nodded and said, after a pause, she asked, "By the way, Goryeo's side, has the news come back?" ”
Lai Qing's expression became a little serious, and he nodded and said, "Just arrived, now the Goryeo Emperor Wang Jian is already working on your younger brother and the Later Baekje Prince Zhen Longjian. ”
Su Wan sighed: "He didn't take Jin Shang and them in his eyes before, but now he has begun to deal with them, which shows that his strength is indeed not as good as before, and even Jin Shang can pose a threat to him." ”
"You're right, the loss of this war may have had a great impact on Wang Jian." Lai Qing analyzed.
Su Wan poured two cups of tea slowly, and said, "Next, let's wait and see what conditions Jin Shangken prescribes." ”
Although she refused to Jin Shang's messenger, she did not say that she was dead, and she believed that Jin Shang could understand.
"You went to explore the tone of Princess Zhenxing today, how is Qi NG doing?" Lai Qing asked.
Su Wan pushed a cup of tea to Lai Qing's table, frowned and said, "It should be difficult for her to take the initiative to help me persuade that King Wu, and I am actually very hesitant, if she is asked to do this kind of thing, if she angers King Wu, won't it hurt her?" ”
Lai Qing bowed and said, "Then why don't you forget about it?" ”
Although he worked for Su Wan, as a Han Chinese, even if Su Wan's restoration was successful, he didn't really want to go to Silla to be an official, and he was about to be appointed as a deputy inspector, so he was not so eager for Su Wan's restoration.
"Nope." Su Wan said categorically: "Now only by relying on Jin Shang and Zhen Longjian can we disrupt the situation in Goryeo, and the opportunity I am waiting for can appear, even if I don't let Zhenxing say it, isn't there still you?" ”
"Me?" Lai Qing's eyes widened.
"Otherwise, why do you think I put so much effort into putting you in the position of deputy inspector?" Su Wan looked at him coldly.
"But even if I become a deputy inspector, I am not qualified to speak to King Wu!"
Su Wan smiled slightly, and said confidently: "You can first try to gain the trust of the highest official of the Spiegel Academy, and then let him help you speak." ”
"But the highest official of the Spiegel Academy is a woman!"
"Oh? How old is it? Have you started a family? ”
"What do you ask for?" Lai Qing had a frightened look on his face.
"Speak quickly!"
"I heard that she is a woman in her twenties, and she seems to be still single."
Su Wan rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "That's good, you should know what to do, right?" ”
Lai Qing took a step back, hugged his arms and said, "Your Highness, my subordinates have such a respectful face, I'm afraid that I can't do it!" ”
"Don't be verbose, you will go if you are told to go! This princess has served Cai Gao's old guy with her body, can't you make some sacrifices? Su Wan reprimanded.
Lai Qing kept retreating, and suddenly he remembered something and said loudly: "That's right! Your Highness, I recently heard a piece of news about Cai Gao! ”
"What do you do so loudly!" Su Wan stroked the long hair on her forehead and asked, "What's the news?" ”
"I heard that he and his younger brother had an infighting, and Cai Gao was defeated, and now his whereabouts are unknown."
Su Wan let out a long sigh and was silent.
"Your Highness, then I will retire." Lai Qing whispered, slowly retreating to the door.
"Wait!" Su Wan came back to her senses and said, "Go and get the thing you just said done as soon as possible, Jin Shang's side may send someone over soon." ”
"Subordinates receive orders." Lai Qing said with a bitter face.
