Chapter 322: Find a way to deal with it
These ministers are basically ministers who have a good relationship with Tuoba Heng on weekdays, or are known for their quick brains or have a strong friendship with Tuoba Heng. Tuoba Heng was also very relieved of them, and felt that with these think tanks here this time, he would definitely be able to think of some better ways to overcome the prince's attack on him.
It's not that Tuoba Heng is afraid, it's just that the first few times, every time the prince seems to be staring at Tuoba Heng's sore feet, picking his weaknesses to attack, the emperor's ears are slightly soft and he listens to the words of His Royal Highness the prince, and now, he has to gather all the old ministers to think of an extremely good way to get out of him.
After Tuoba Heng finished speaking, everyone in the room began to look at each other, or occasionally a few people exchanged heads and ears with each other, Tuoba Heng saw that they seemed to have nothing to say yet, and he did not force them to make a quick decision in his heart, but told everyone that they could talk as much as they wanted tonight, as long as they could come up with a more perfect reason that would not hurt the interests of the Third Highness.
Everyone continued to talk to each other in groups of three or five, Su Cimo sat in the crowd and glanced at everyone, some of them were very old, and some of them were not much older than her.
However, what each of them said may be a little imaginative, and without knowing what to say, Su Cimo suddenly felt a little bored, and just listened to everyone's speculation and conversation in a daze, but stopped talking.
Tuoba Heng gave the order and left first, leaving the house to those Tuoba Heng's cronies and ministers.
"Minister Rong, why do you say these three princes are offending the crown prince at this time?! Isn't that embarrassing for us!? A minister who was a little older said to another minister who was also a little older on the side.
The minister immediately nodded yes, and then stroked his beard with a helpless look on his face, and shook his head incessantly.
"Now that the crown prince has just received the holy favor, if he says bad things about the third prince at this time, it is inevitable that the emperor will listen to his slander again, and the third prince may end up in the same fate as before." Another minister said at the fire.
Suddenly, everyone's faces turned to ashes, and they didn't know what to do.
"Ministers, Chen Feng knows that you are all the brains of the court, so this time, please make a modest effort to help my Royal Highness get rid of this difficulty! Chen Feng would like to thank all of you. Chen Feng knelt down and kowtowed to all the ministers and cronies in the room.
"Brother Chen Feng, we have understood the situation, please get up quickly, we will do our best to help His Highness avoid the danger this time, please don't worry so much." An old minister in a blue and blue satin shirt stood up and said to Chen Feng.
When the rest of the people heard this, they all replied, "Yes, yes." ”
Everyone's unanimous acceptance made Chen Feng feel a little relieved, so Chen Feng immediately stood up and thanked all his cronies and ministers.
The big guys dealt with Chen Feng and began to discuss with each other again, and suddenly the room fell into a noisy atmosphere.
Su Cimo sat quietly alone in the corner of the room in a daze, she didn't know if it was useful for Tuoba Heng to call these old ministers to overcome the prince's reproach for herself, but the few account books in her hand were true and effective evidence that could prove that the household department Shangshu and the prince had colluded privately to obtain the food and salary distributed by the imperial court to the soldiers in the barracks.
Su Cimo didn't believe that the account book would not be able to save Tuoba Heng's life when the time came, so she was not in a hurry now, since she didn't admit it just now, then let's see what methods these old ministers would give Tuoba Heng to avoid the prince's reproach to Tuoba Heng.
"Weichen thinks that if the three princes want to protect themselves this time, they must completely omit the disrespectful things about the Hubu Shangshu, so it is better to ask the three princes to go to the Hubu Shangshu's mansion tomorrow to show favor to him, and signal him not to help the prince make things difficult for His Royal Highness the Third Prince in the court." An old minister who was a little older looked at the person next to him with a serious look and said.
"I don't agree, although this allows the three princes to take the initiative to sue for peace, it is indeed able to quickly change the situation. But you have forgotten that if Lord Shangshu really did something unseemly and lost some account book, then he would definitely not form an alliance with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, nor would he accept his kindness, but would use His Highness's favor to make a worse quarrel in front of the emperor. Why, is it so good!? ”
Another strategist stood up, dressed in a gray robe and looked like an old rotten scholar, but the words that came out of his mouth were incisive, and he analyzed the loopholes of the old minister's method in front of him to clearly understand, and now everyone broke off in their hearts to let the third prince make peace with the head of the household.
There was a silence in the room, and then everyone discussed for a while, the room was chattering, a little noisy, Su Cimo was a little bored when he heard it, and he didn't realize that he lay on the table in the corner and began to think about the problem alone.
After about half of the incense, I saw that the sky outside was gradually darkening.
Tuoba Heng walked in from outside the house at this time, and then asked these old ministers.
"Ministers, I wonder if you have discussed a better way to help me cope with the catastrophe!?" Tuoba Heng's face was as usual, looking gentle and smooth, and there was nothing uncomfortable.
Suddenly, as soon as he said this, what he received was silence all over the room, and everyone did not discuss a unified method that could help Tuoba Heng deal with the difficulties in the past, it can be said that Tuoba Heng has been in Shangshu Mansion for too long, even ordinary old ministers will speculate about his actions, let alone the emperor.
The emperor couldn't listen to the gossip of other strategists in his ear, even if there was nothing to do, he would be added to the snake to say something, not to mention, these three princes also left such a bad influence on Lord Hubu Shangshu.
Tuoba Heng saw that all the strategists and ministers had nothing to say, and immediately nodded kindly, he also knew in his heart that there was indeed no good way to overcome some things.
Tuoba Heng looked at everyone, and everyone's faces looked hesitant and not very good. Only Su Cimo was the only one, he was sitting alone in the corner, but there was a look of indifference on his face about everything that happened here.
Tuoba Heng didn't know why, seeing him like this, he felt a little more relaxed in his heart.
"It seems that all the ministers are not as good as Master Su, and now their faces are still light-hearted. I don't know if Master Su, do you have any better ideas!? Tuoba Heng said with a half-joking meaning, and suddenly everyone looked back at Su Cimo and didn't say anything more.
As soon as Su Cimo heard the question, she immediately stood up, and her thin shoulders showed that her figure was not as majestic as a man.
"Your Highness, you have no other way than to wait for the opportunity to act. I believe that all the advisors and ministers are of the same mind as I am. Su Cimo glanced at everyone after speaking.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd applauded Su Cimo and said that what he said was extremely true.
Tuoba Heng saw that the ministers didn't talk much, and knew that there was no good way to deal with the prince's whim in their hearts now
"Okay, today is Tuoba Heng who troubled the ministers and strategists, if you want to stay for dinner, Tuoba Heng has already prepared the meal in the front hall, just waiting for the ministers to come and enjoy, if you don't want to stay for dinner, you can go back now, I will send a carriage to send you to the door of the house one by one." Tuoba Heng's face was kind, and he couldn't see any displeasure.
The strategists and ministers got up and headed out of the house, where it was just getting dark and everything was still visible.
Most of the ministers left, Tuoba Heng watched them leave, but when he saw Su Cimo, Tuoba Heng came over and pulled his arm with ulterior motives, and said carefully in his ear: "You stay first, I still have something to ask you." ”
Su Cimo glanced at Tuoba Heng's dark starry eyes, and saw the restlessness in his eyes, Su Cimo knew that he was also dealing with His Royal Highness the Prince, so Su Cimo immediately nodded and agreed.
Su Cimo had dinner with several courtiers in the front hall, and then after those people left, Su Cimo went to Tuoba Heng to look for him in the study in the mansion.
Tuoba Heng saw that it was Su Cimo, and suddenly his face leaked with joy.
"I see that your face is very calm in that group of ministers today. I wonder if you've found a solution in your heart!? Tuoba Heng sat behind the desk, his long cheeks showing a hint of emaciation, and it seemed that he was indeed thinking about this matter.
Su Cimo immediately stepped forward very unceremoniously and sat down in the chair beside Tuoba Heng, and then she said to Tuoba Heng: "Your Highness, it is too easy for you to overcome the difficulties of the crown prince. You just have to say that you don't know about it. ”
"However, what you said will only increase my father's suspicion of me. There are many important ministers hidden behind the crown prince, all of whom are the emperor's henchmen. When they speak alone, they can withstand the power of a few ministers on my side, how can I not care about this matter, even if it is a little suspicious, it is estimated that my father will not tolerate and ignore it. ”
Tuoba Heng's face showed anxiety, and he frowned slightly and said hesitantly.
Su Cimo was helpless, if the emperor was suspicious, it was estimated that there was only something he could suspect, and there was nothing that others could not think of.
Su Cimo didn't think this method was useful, so he sat in the chair and unconsciously lifted Erlang's legs, and then thought about how to deal with it in his mind for a while in order to overcome the prince's artillery attack.
