Chapter 205: Entrusted with a Heavy Task
After the Seventh Prince left, Su Zhiyuan and Su Boxing were speechless, and in the end, Su Boxing thought about it and took the initiative to ask.
"Father, the ...... of the Seven Princes"
"The Seven Princes are just here to test our intentions."
"The father said this, but the son didn't understand."
Su Boxing had to admire his father's consideration of most things much more than himself, and Su Zhiyuan analyzed this.
"The Seventh Prince is a man who has no quarrel with the world, he just wants to know that I took the initiative to stand on his side today, is it our Su family who deliberately wants to slap him, or is this what Your Majesty meant."
"Father thinks that the Seventh Prince doesn't have that mind?"
"As a prince, if you don't think so much, no one will believe it, it's just a matter of whose mind is important.
The Seven Princes have always had no quarrel with the world, in the past, the five princes and His Royal Highness were constantly in dispute, and he kept his head in obscurity, and now there is no prince in this royal family who can compete with the prince.
It's just that Your Majesty's move today makes me unable to see what Your Majesty wants. Perhaps only when the battle for imperial power in the court is right, can we know which is the most suitable prince.
In short, our Su family still has to be neutral, no matter which side of the force, we don't care.
Of course, His Majesty intends to ask our Su family to help the Seventh Prince, so we can help a little. ”
Hearing this, Su Boxing fell into deep thought, he thought that he already had a way in the officialdom, but today after hearing his father say such a thing, Su Boxing realized that he had not fully figured out the things in the court, and it seemed that his father was more powerful.
Su Bowen's leg disease is still not good, but now Su Bowen has not continued to lock himself in the room.
Shen Baiqing was sick before, and after Su Bowen's incident, he didn't have any extra thoughts to manage the royal ranch, and His Majesty was not a person who didn't pay attention to his feelings, so he personally issued an edict, asking Shen Baiqing to accompany Su Bowen in the mansion with peace of mind, so that Su Bowen could recover as soon as possible.
When such an edict came out, everyone in the capital began to think about who would be arranged to manage the ranch after the Su family did not manage the royal family's ranch.
What everyone didn't expect was that His Majesty actually ordered the Seven Princes to manage the royal ranch, and it is obvious that now His Majesty has begun to value the Seven Princes.
When the news reached Su Mansion, Shen Baiqing was playing chess with Su Bowen, and after learning the news, both of them fell silent, and after a long time, Shen Baiqing said.
"It seems that Your Majesty is planning to cultivate the Seven Princes well."
"We can't guess Your Majesty's thoughts, but Your Majesty once told my father that he wanted our Su family to help the Seventh Prince as much as possible, and if he wanted to come to the Seventh Prince to take over the royal ranch, there must be many things that he didn't know how to do."
"Don't worry, husband, I will write a letter and send it to inform the Seventh Prince of some things about the Royal Ranch, which can be regarded as helping the Seventh Prince."
"That's very good."
Shen Baiqing's side had just sent the letter over on the front foot, and the East Palace side immediately learned the news.
In the study, the prince's face was extremely ugly, and Mr. Gongsun was silent on the side, but he heard the prince speak angrily.
"I thought the Su family was a person who knew the times! Now it seems that the Su family really doesn't take this prince to heart!
That Shen Baiqing actually wrote a letter to the seventh brother, could it be that their Su family really thought that my position as the crown prince would not be kept! ”
"Your Highness, don't be so angry, thinking that the second young lady of the Su family is just selling a favor to the seventh prince, and the Su family no longer has the glory of the past, and we want to get rid of the Su family It's not a matter of being able to catch it."
Mr. Gongsun's words seemed to give the prince a good idea, and the prince's eyes lit up, and his smile became more and more secretive.
"Since the Su family plans to stand on the side of the seventh brother, then they don't blame Prince Ben for making a move!"
"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as it is someone who blocks His Highness's accession to the throne, it will all be eliminated as soon as possible."
"Good!"
The crown prince is still trying to find a way to deal with the Seven Princes, but the Seven Princes are focused on the affairs of the ranch.
A few days later, news came from the royal ranch that the horses had had an accident and that most of them had died, which angered His Majesty, and His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
When the news reached the Su family, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen were called to the study by Su Zhiyuan, seeing that Su Bowen's complexion was much better, thinking that everything about Su Bowen was just pretending, Su Zhiyuan didn't worry too much.
"You all know about the Royal Ranch."
"Yes."
Shen Baiqing was the first to speak, Su Zhiyuan frowned, and Su Bowen on the side asked.
"What is Father worried about?"
Shen Baiqing didn't know Su Zhiyuan, but Su Bowen could see that Su Zhiyuan was probably worried about this matter.
Seeing his son asking about this, Su Zhiyuan said.
"Now that there is an accident in the royal ranch, this seems to be the fault of the Seven Princes, but let's not forget, before His Majesty promoted the Seven Princes from the prince of the county to the prince, I think His Majesty is planning to find a prince to compete with the prince, and His Majesty is also worried that the prince will kill his father and kill the king."
Hearing this, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen looked solemn, and Shen Baiqing said.
"Father, the daughter-in-law thinks that the accident with the horses in the ranch seems to be inseparable from the prince, but now the daughter-in-law is not good to participate in it, but the daughter-in-law can give the prescription to the seventh prince, thinking that the horses should have eaten poisonous forage."
Shen Baiqing said, Su Bowen also thought of something like that in the ranch before, the prince was present at that time, and Shen Baiqing also arranged Zhao Yi by his side.
So, Su Zhiyuan sighed.
"That's all there is to it, you two must be careful when you act."
"Yes."
Coming out of Su Zhiyuan's study, Shen Baiqing personally pushed the wheelchair, and the two were silent all the way, until they returned to the backyard inner room, and there was no one else, Su Bowen said.
"Madam, for my husband, I'm afraid that the sky in the capital is about to change."
"Husband, are you worried?"
"Now I can't become a climate in the eyes of the world, so I can keep the Su family, as for the side, I can only take one step and watch one."
"I think it's good to be so obscure."
The two glanced at each other and knew each other.
The next day, Shen Baiqing ordered Comfort to quietly hand over the prescription to the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince received the prescription sent by Shen Baiqing, so he secretly ordered someone to use the prescription for those horses.
Just when the crown prince was about to impeach the seventh prince in front of His Majesty, news came from the ranch that it was no longer in trouble.
In this way, the prince was beating upside down, and the prince was reprimanded by His Majesty and thought about it behind closed doors for three days, so many courtiers in the court realized that His Majesty was becoming more and more disappointed in the prince, but began to use the Seventh Prince very much.
The crown prince was very angry when he returned to the prince's mansion, but His Majesty's will to be grounded was not to be violated, so he could only stay in the mansion.
At the same time, gradually some courtiers began to take refuge in the Seven Princes, and no one may be too obvious on weekdays, but once the prince's faction took the initiative to get along with the Seven Princes, there would always be courtiers who came forward to speak for the Seven Princes.
The situation above the court is becoming more and more turbulent, and the courtiers all know that it will be either the crown prince or the seventh prince who will sit in His Majesty's position in the future.
