Cao family.

Cao Xiong sat in the study, and opposite him was the eldest prince Yuwensu.

Compared with the seemingly elegant second prince Yuwenyan, Yuwensu is older, and the whole person is more calm.

The two sat opposite each other, with a chessboard in the middle.

The black and white on it is glued, and it has obviously been down for a long time, but it still can't tell the winner.

Cao Xiong landed on the chessboard with a white piece in his hand and said, "Your Highness is too impulsive today. ”

Yuwensu held the sunspot in his hand and did not fall in a hurry, and showed a wry smile when he heard the words.

"Uncle, I know I'm too anxious, but you also know the situation of the second child."

"Over the years, he has been fighting with me inexorably, competing with me everywhere, and last year he also damaged the chess pieces that I had so hard to insert into the ministry, and he almost hurt me, and now he can finally step on him, how can I let go of such an opportunity?"

Cao Xiong looked at him slightly: "But what does this have to do with the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?" ”

Yuwensu said: "How can it be irrelevant? ”

"When there was a drought in Jingnan two years ago, Xie Yuan was ordered to go south to quell the rebellion, and he was the last person to contact Su Xuanmin, and he must have what I want in his hands."

"The father punished Yuwen Liangchen on the surface, but he was also suspicious of the second child, and he had secretly asked people to investigate the second child's affairs, if I could get that thing, I would be able to completely trample the second child to death, and the matter of the household department can be decided by us."

"Nan Yuanshan is in prison, if Fu Zhuo can take this opportunity to rise, it will be a great opportunity for us."

"I can't wait."

Cao Xiong listened to his words, his eyebrows furrowed: "I know what His Highness thinks in his heart, but it is still too risky to calculate the affairs of the Marquis of Xuanping......"

"Uncle is blaming me for using Cousin Yu?" Yuwen Su asked when he heard this.

Cao Xiong pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Yu Wensu said: "I know that this matter is a bit risky, but if you want to kill the young son of the Xie family, only Cousin Yu is the most suitable, the young son of the Xie family is a competitive person, and Cousin Yu once had some friendship with him. ”

"Although there was a problem on the Xie family's side last time, I have already asked people to dispose of those insiders, even if the Xie family investigates it afterwards, it will never find out to Cousin Yu."

"As for this time, I have already asked people to take care of it, as long as Cousin Yu wins Xie Qingyang, there will be no accidents this time."

"Even if you take 10,000 steps back, something is wrong with Cousin Yu's side, he is still young, but he is only a half-grown child, and his uncle can use the battle of will to completely eliminate this matter, the Xie family will not play for the sake of the two children, so they will use this to find trouble with their uncle, right?"

Cao Xiong listened to Yuwensu's words, holding the chess pieces in his hand and lowering his eyes slightly.

is obviously a close relative, but Yu Wensu took advantage of Cao Yu without the slightest guilt.

He said he had a thorough plan, but what if something happened?

The Xuanping Marquis Mansion has been able to gain a foothold in the court for many years, and Xie Yuan can be valued by the emperor, how can they be so easy to deceive?

If you win, you can use the son of the Xie family to take advantage of Xie Yuan and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, but if you lose.

After this matter was known to the Xie family, if they really used the two children's nonsense, they could fool those people in the Xie family?

Everyone is a fool.

Cao Xiong looked at Yu Wensu, who was full of spirit and determination, and there was a trace of disappointment in his heart.

But he knew that although he was Yuwensu's uncle, he was more of a courtier, and Yuwensu was not a person who could stand people's preaching.

Cao Xiong endured the words of questioning, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is very thoughtful, but in case, you shouldn't take such a risk." ”

"What's more, Your Highness, don't forget that there is still a prince in this court."

"The position of the prince has long been decided, and the emperor attaches great importance to the crown prince, and His Royal Highness wants to fight for that big position, so don't make the wrong effort and use your mind in the wrong place."

Yuwensu heard the word "prince", his face sank, and he was about to speak, when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Master, the little boy is back."

Cao Xiong hurriedly raised his head: "Let him in." ”

The door was pushed open, and Cao Yu walked in a moment later, and Yuwensu put down the chess piece when he saw him from a distance and said, "Cousin Yu is back?" You've worked hard for this trip, and things have been done ......."

He was about to ask him how things were going, when he saw the panic on Cao Yu's face.

Yuwen Su sighed in his heart, "Cousin Yu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cao Xiong also saw that his youngest son's expression was wrong.

He knows too well the temperament of his youngest son, and his temper is flamboyant, and he can't hide things in his heart.

If he had done it, he wouldn't have been like this when he came back, and it was like he had messed things up with such a flustered look.

Cao Xiong directly threw the chess pieces in his hand, frowned, and said, "The thing didn't work out?" ”

Cao Yu looked flustered and said in a low voice: "Don't blame me, everything went smoothly before this incident." ”

"I have already asked Xie Qingyang to the cockfighting platform, and I also provoked him to agree to the gambling contract, but I didn't expect that before we started the gambling fight, a brother suddenly appeared on his side."

"That person didn't know if he saw through what we wanted to do, not only stopped Xie Qingyang and forced me to change the gambling contract, but also ...... It was also found that we were playing cockfighting. ”

Yuwensu's face changed, and he got up suddenly:

"Brother? Which brother? ”

"I let people inquire clearly, Xie Qingheng has been in Guozijian for the past few days, Xie Chengan followed Xie Yuan to the Shuangjia Battalion, Xie Junzhuo made an appointment to have a small gathering outside Beijing, where did his brother come from to go to Juxuanlou?!"

"And didn't I tell you before, don't you alarm others and provoke Xie Qingyang to gamble with you alone? How could anyone else be with him?! ”

Yuwensu wanted to use Cao Yu to calculate Xie Qingyang, and then step on Xie Qingyang to take care of the Xie family, he would naturally inquire about the Xie family's affairs in advance.

Xie Qing's positive impulse can't withstand the excitement, but the other sons of the Xie family are very shrewd, for fear that they will suddenly have something bad for him, Yuwensu specially asked people to inquire that the three people were not in the mansion, which made Cao Yu set a date for gambling.

How could Xie Qingyang have a brother who would go to the cockfighting platform?

Cao Yu was a little frightened by Yuwensu's loud voice.

"I don't know, I haven't seen that person before, but when he said that he was Xie Qingyang's brother, Xie Qingyang didn't object."

"And that person also beat Xie Qingyang at that time, Xie Qingyang's nose and face were swollen, if that person was not the Xie family, how could he bear it with Xie Qingyang's temperament?"

Yuwensu's face suddenly darkened.

Cao Xiong interrupted the words of the two on the side: "Regardless of whether that person is the Xie family or not, or whether he is Xie Qingyang's brother, His Highness should not care about this at the moment, but about the things behind this gambling contract." ”
