It's a mess!

Cups and plates shattered, tea spilled, and the maids knelt on the ground to clean up the mess.

Zhong Shuyun looked at her eldest brother Zhong Shuhao, her face puzzled.

Zhong Shuhao shook his head at her slightly, signaling her not to speak, beware of attracting a scolding.

Zhong Shuyun nodded, sat down in silence, and then asked quietly, "What's wrong?" ”

"You don't know?" Zhong Shuhao was a little surprised.

Zhong Shuyun was even more confused, "Should I know?" ”

Zhong Shuhao laughed at himself, not knowing what to say.

Silent!

No one spoke.

The maids cleaned up the mess on the ground and quietly withdrew.

Zhong Shuyun was very uncomfortable and couldn't sit still.

Although she still didn't understand what was going on, the atmosphere in the hall made her depressed and uncomfortable.

She had a premonition that part of her mother's anger was coming at her.

She suddenly regretted that she shouldn't have come back today.

Why don't you get up and leave now?

It doesn't seem to be a good fit.

She could only continue to sit awkwardly.

Long......

Maybe Princess Chengyang was angry, or maybe she had a new idea, and the atmosphere in the flower hall also changed.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten her dry throat.

She looked at her daughter, "Shuyun, why did you suddenly come back today?" ”

Zhong Shuyun said cautiously: "My daughter misses her mother, so come back and take a look." ”

Princess Chengyang smiled, "I'm afraid it's not because I miss the palace, but because the third prince was made the prince, and you are happy, so you came back." ”

Zhong Shuyun smiled awkwardly, "I can't hide anything from my mother." Cousin, he lived up to his mother's expectations, and after years of planning, the dust finally settled. Mothers can rest assured. ”

Princess Chengyang sneered, "Do you think this palace should rest assured?" ”

Zhong Shuyun looked confused.

This tone is wrong, did she say the wrong thing?

"Why is Mother angry?" She asked boldly.

Princess Chengyang stared at her, "Are you really ignorant or false?" ”

"My daughter really doesn't know."

Princess Chengyang suddenly laughed angrily, and she didn't know whether to scold or blast out.

She was in a very depressed mood, "Xiao Chengyi was appointed as the prince, which is naturally a good thing, proving that the original vision of this palace was not wrong." But...... Do you know that in addition to establishing the prince, the emperor also issued another decree to adjust the officials of various departments of the imperial court. First and foremost is our Zhong family. Do you know what that means? ”

Zhong Shuyun said "ah", she remembered that there was indeed such a will. It's just that she was happy, and she didn't care about the specific content of this will.

It dawned on her now that something was wrong.

Bang!

Princess Chengyang slapped her face on the table, angry, "As soon as the prince was established, the emperor began to suppress the Zhong family, he was guarding against the palace!" Are you afraid that the palace will interfere in the government? It's so deceitful! Bengong is his own sister-in-law, he would rather believe in Queen Tao and reuse the Tao family, but he would not believe in Bengong. Is this palace so untrustworthy? ”

This is what makes Princess Chengyang very angry.

In the imperial brother's mind, she is not as good as Queen Tao?

The Zhong family is not as good as the Tao family?

I'm mad at her!

If it weren't for her own son stopping her, she would have entered the palace by now and asked for an explanation.

Don't take such a bully.

"Mother's anger!" Zhong Shuhao's tone was calm, "This result has long been expected. ”

"Expected fart! This palace is his own sister-in-law, the sister-in-law of a mother's compatriots, why is he guarding against me? Just because I'm worried about the palace interfering in the government? Empress Tao interfered in court politics, he was not guarded, he deliberately guarded me, what do you mean? This breath can't swallow anything. ”

The more Princess Chengyang spoke, the more angry she became, and her lungs were about to explode.

Zhong Shuhao is not impatient, "Over the years, the Zhong family has always been a relative and active in the court. Although it has never occupied a high position, it is a real shortage of important things, and our Zhong family is indispensable. In the past, His Majesty did not touch the Zhong family because the Zhong family was in power and would not threaten the imperial power.

But now it's different, His Royal Highness has been appointed as the prince, and His Majesty is not in good health, so he may ...... at any time Our Zhong family suddenly jumped from an ordinary relative to the most high-profile relative.

When the Third Highness claims that the emperor ascends the throne, the younger sister will be the queen without accident, and if the Zhong family still occupies a critical shortage at that time, its influence will be really terrible in the eyes of His Majesty. Your Majesty wants to clear the obstacles for His Royal Highness, first of all, there must be no relatives to hinder him, and our Zhong family will naturally bear the brunt.

As for the Tao family, the Tao family's vitality has been greatly injured and has not recovered all these years. Boss Tao said that he couldn't get sick, obviously giving up the authority of the court. The Tao family is no longer worried, and the Zhong family is the big problem. From His Majesty's standpoint, it is the duty of an emperor to suppress the Zhong family. ”

Princess Chengyang scolded angrily, "You fart! You know that if you speak from the emperor's standpoint, why don't you speak from the standpoint of your own family. ”

Zhong Shuhao said loudly: "Even if he speaks from the standpoint of his own family, his son thinks that at this time, the Zhong family should take a step back and not attract so much attention. The Tao family's experience is not far away. Don't make the wrong decision just because of the moment. ”

Princess Chengyang was annoyed, even though she knew that what her son said was very reasonable, but she was always uneasy.

She is the emperor's own sister, the sister of a mother's compatriots.

There is no one in the world who is closer to the emperor than her.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the person who first stood up to suppress her turned out to be the emperor's own brother.

How does this make her accept.

"Xiao Chengyi has not yet claimed the title of emperor to ascend the throne, and the emperor can't wait to suppress the Zhong family and the palace. At the end of the day, he just doesn't trust Hongu. ”

"It's not that it's distrustful, it's that it has to be done."

Zhong Shuhao is quite calm, not impatient or impatient.

It seems that he has been trained, and he is no longer the young man he used to be.

"Don't go against Hongu again."

Princess Chengyang was angry.

Don't you know what your son says according to her?

Zhong Shuhao was serious, "Mother, you have to accept this result." Because, when the Third Highness ascends the throne, maybe the life of our Zhong family will be even more difficult. ”

"How is that possible?" Zhong Shuyun was the first to stand up against it, "My cousin is not that kind of person. ”

Zhong Shuhao made a straight face, "Sister, he is only a prince now, so you naturally feel that he is close." But when he becomes the emperor, people will change. You'd better be mentally prepared in advance and don't expect too much. ”

Zhong Shuyun shook his head again and again, a little panicked, a little afraid, and a little unwilling.

She was born in a wealthy family and is a relative, so she naturally understands how much power can change a person.

also understands the power of imperial power, which can turn a person into a ghost and a loner......

It's just that deep down in her heart, she still holds a glimmer of hope.

What's more, her joy lasted less than a day, and her brother hit her with words and told her to prepare early, which of course she couldn't accept.

It's good to make her happy and happy, don't pull her back from joy to reality so quickly.

Zhong Shuhao ignored her emotions and continued: "It can be seen from Your Majesty's wills that Your Majesty and Empress Tao should have truly reconciled, not the hypocrisy we thought. It also means that when His Royal Highness ascends the throne, Queen Tao will regain power. Even if His Royal Highness would not intentionally suppress the Zhong family, Empress Tao would not let the Zhong family go. ”

"She dares!" Princess Chengyang was furious.

Zhong Shuhao said calmly: "Of course she dares!" She is the queen mother, and the Northern Army will also be on her side. Since His Majesty gave us the middle family steps, Mother might as well go down the steps. The Zhong family is rich and prosperous, and there is no need to deal with His Majesty. ”

Princess Chengyang held the armrest of the chair tightly, and she was really unwilling in her heart.

She stared at her son, "Don't you want to get ahead, don't you want to make achievements in the court?" You have been literary and martial arts since elementary school, and your learning is not half a point weaker than anyone else, so you don't want to be famous in the world? ”

Zhong Shuhao smiled, "My son doesn't have that much ambition. ”

"You've disappointed Hongu too much. A good man has ambitions in all directions, how can you, as the son of this palace, be so decadent and unmotivated. ”

Zhong Shuhao lowered his head and smiled, "What is self-motivation? Is being a big official considered motivated, or is becoming a powerful minister considered motivated? If the son can protect the huge family business of the Zhong family and prevent the Zhong family from falling in the hands of his son, he will be worthy of the ancestors of the Zhong family. ”

"You fart! If you want the Zhong family's family business to not fall, you have to be an official, a big official. is just a relative, sooner or later, like the Tao family, everyone will slaughter. ”

"Mother, don't forget, when Old Man Tao was the first and third duke, no one had a higher official position than him, what was the result, and he ended up in a different place."

"That's different. Xiao Chengyi has more conscience than His Majesty......"

"Hey......"

Zhong Shuhao sighed, "If my mother pins her hopes on whether someone has a conscience, the Zhong family is in danger!" ”

Princess Chengyang was so blocked that she couldn't speak.

Zhong Shuyun said weakly: "Cousin, no matter what, he shouldn't do anything to the Zhong family. ”

"No, it doesn't mean you don't do it. Sometimes the situation is stronger than people, forcing people to make cruel decisions. ”

Zhong Shuyun's eyes turned red, "Why does my brother always like to say some frustrating things, can't he think about the good?" ”

Zhong Shuhao laughed at himself, "I also want to think about the good, but the current situation makes people have to plan for the worst." His Majesty is seriously ill and his days are numbered. The thieves are getting more and more troublesome, and the alien races frequently invade the south.

Internal and external troubles, no matter who the person sitting in that position in the palace is, when necessary, he can be ruthless. At that time, the crowd will be rolling, who can guarantee that the Zhong family will be able to stand alone? Even if it is her mother, the dignified princess of Wei, she can't say that the Zhong family is 100% rich. ”

Zhong Shuyun lowered his eyes, his eyes were moist, and his heart was uncomfortable.

Zhong Shuhao patted him on the shoulder, "Ten years ago, or even five years ago, I wouldn't have said anything like that. Now, however, the situation is so bad that we have to prepare for the worst. ”

Princess Chengyang, "Shuhao, listen to what you mean, do you have no hope for the Northern Army to fight against the Wuheng Royal Court?" ”

"Wait for the results! What I say now doesn't count! ”
