Chapter Twenty-Four: The Upward Game
"Regent?"
As soon as Su Jiao's words fell, Li Bing already had a plan in his heart, but he pretended to be puzzled and said:
"What do you mean by that?"
"Husband, please think about it, although our Protectorate Mansion has become the blessing of the former emperor to gain a foothold in the capital, but now that the new emperor is on the throne, the importance of the Protectorate Mansion has long been different from the past, and even the husband just made a small mistake, and was so heavily blamed by the current emperor that you lost face in the capital.
Su Jiao's words were not a whim, she also secretly overheard their conversation outside Su Jingqiang's study one day, only to know that the current emperor has been hollowed out for most of the time, and she dared to say such a thing to Li Bing when she saw that she was about to be useless.
"You said this lightly, but the regent is in power, why should he stand up for me, a down-and-out protector of the country?"
Li Bing obviously agreed with Su Jiao's statement in his heart, but he still said with a pretended entanglement on his face.
Also, if he didn't have some pretending kung fu, Su Qing in his previous life would not have been deceived so miserably by him.
"Husband, you can be relieved, since Jiao'er has married into the Protector Mansion, she naturally has to think about the Protectorate Mansion everywhere, I have already found out, we can ......"
Su Jiao crossed a trace of calculation, and whispered in Li Bing's ear for a long time, before the latter happily hugged Su Jiao's waist: "It's still Jiao'er who has won my heart." ”
What Su Qing didn't know was that with her rebirth, many things in this life had quietly changed, such as Lin Fengjiao's children and Su Jiao's plans.
It was precisely because all of this was going on without her knowledge that she couldn't stop Su Jiao's plan.
In Su Jiao's courtyard, Li Bing was in a happy mood today, and she had to toss her, but now she dragged her back to the courtyard, and she was really tired.
"Madame is really, the prince is obviously half-hearted, and he still has thoughts about Su Qing, why does Madame bother to help him? Worrying during pregnancy has always been the most hurtful thing. ”
The maid Cuizhu couldn't help muttering, she was Su Jiao's dowry maid, and she was trained by Lin Fengjiao, so naturally Su Jiao came first in everything.
"What do you know," Su Jiao frowned, signaling Cuizhu not to talk nonsense: "Now that Li Bing and I are already husband and wife, the Protector Mansion is naturally both prosperous and loss-in-law!" I don't want to hear that a second time. ”
"Yes, the slave knows that she is wrong."
It's just that what Su Jiao didn't say was that if she could help the Protector Mansion prosper again, the benefits at that time would not all be taken by the child in her womb, and at that time, if Li Bing had any more accidents, her Su Jiao's child would be the rightful Protector.
As for these secret thoughts, Su Jiao would not say to a maid: "How is the matter I told you to do?" ”
"Madame, rest assured, the slave maid has found a reliable person to spread the news, and within a few days, everyone will know that Su Qing is acting inappropriately and seducing her brother-in-law to raise a man on another village."
"Well, if you do these things properly, I will naturally be rewarded."
Su Jiao nodded with satisfaction, thinking of the scene where Su Qing's reputation was lost and she was abused by 10,000 people, she felt extremely comfortable, and the hard work during the day was nothing.
Three days later, the court was ......
"Your Majesty, now that there is a great drought in Suzhou, the people have no harvest, and batches of victims are rushing to Beijing, which is really worrying!"
Wen Yeyu only had one look, and an official stood up and said.
Murong An's eyes were a little complicated, but he pretended to be puzzled on his face: "Why didn't I know that there was such a thing?" ”
Wen Yeyu sneered in his heart, but he had to see the twists and turns that were sent to the imperial front in advance, and it was naturally a matter of effort to hide the news of the Suzhou disaster.
Seeing Murong An's ignorant appearance, the courtiers discussed it again, thinking that it was Murong An who lingered in the harem and had no intention of ruling the government, so he missed such a big news.
"The emperor is wise, those victims arrived in the capital two days ago, fortunately, there is a prince who protects the country and squanders money, and has taken the lead in setting up a grain stall outside the city to do good, so as to avoid a disaster in the capital, the minister thinks that the prince of the country is dedicated to the country, which is worthy of righteousness!"
The official at the bottom continued, not caring at all about Murong An's response: "The minister thinks that the Ming Dynasty has clear rewards and punishments, and after such a loyal minister, it is natural to appease and reward him." ”
"Really? What Aiqing said was very satisfying, in this way, Li Bing's grounding was lifted, and the shop was doubled to return him. ”
Murong An flicked his sleeves, and looked a little impatient: "Ding Guiren has been sick recently, I still went back to watch earlier, let's be here today!" ”
The courtiers were all stunned, and Murong An's hurried departure was still a little vain, and in the eyes of everyone, he was completely hollowed out by the wine, and he couldn't help but sigh again.
"Daming has such a monarch, I don't know where there is hope!"
Wen Yeyu walked on the road to the next court, and heard the old ministers around him constantly talking about it, these are the old ministers who followed the emperor to the south and the north, although they are not yet in his camp, but Murong An is the best help for him to continue to be deaf like this.
Murong An went straight to Ding Guiren, this is his recent beauty, although she is only a palace maid, she is very pleasing to him, and I don't know how many concubines he envies.
Ding Guiren is also a knowledgeable person, and coquettishly helped Murong An back to the dormitory, and seeing that there was no one around, he accepted Fang Cai's look:
"The emperor can rest assured, with your warrant in hand, my brother has successfully recovered the military order of the three border passes, and found a spy to continue to contact the person who is pretending to be Wen Yeyu, and no one will be suspicious."
"That's fine."
Murong An nodded, how could there be a mediocre look in the palace?
Speaking of which, this Ding nobleman's life experience is also pitiful, his father is also a famous general in the previous dynasty, but because he is not used to Wen Yeyu's style, he has been repeatedly targeted, and he was sent by his subordinates to destroy the door.
Murong An knew that it was a little late, so he could only use his strategy to protect the general's sons and daughters, and stay in the palace to do things in a different way, which is now Ding Guiren and his brother:
"In the end, I am not detailed enough to protect your father, if this success is achieved, I will restore your identity, become the name of the county lord, and also choose a wishful gentleman to get along with."
Ding Guiren didn't say anything, knelt down directly to receive the holy grace, and covered the bitterness in his eyes by the way-
If she had a choice, she would rather stay in the palace, and it would be good to stay by Murong An's side and serve like this, but she also knew that Murong An had no intention of her, let alone bothered to entangle.
