Chapter 215: The Seventh Prince's Overture
Su Zhiyuan's vacation ended successfully, and the family returned to Su Mansion in a grand manner.
Su Zhiyuan took a short rest, and then called Su Boxing to the study.
Inside the study.
Su Boxing saw his father's tired face and said.
"If the father feels tired, he will rest more often, and he will not be in a hurry to call his son over."
Su Zhiyuan frowned and said.
"Now that the situation in the court is complicated, I asked for leave to count Japan to avoid the turmoil, but I didn't expect that these turmoil is not as simple as you and I thought."
"Father means ......"
"Let me ask you, do you think Prince Su Ji will leave it alone, and our Su family does not plan to take over, who will Your Majesty order to take over?"
Hearing this, Su Boxing frowned slightly, but he just thought of something, Su Boxing said tentatively.
"Seven ......"
"Exactly."
Su Zhiyuan interrupted Su Boxing's words, there are some things that only need their tacit understanding, as for the side, it is not something they should consider.
"Father thinks that man has hope to compete with the prince?"
"Whether there is hope or not is not up to you and me, it all depends on your majesty's intentions.
If Your Majesty intends to reuse that person, that person will be favored, and if Your Majesty does not reuse that person, once the crown prince ascends the throne, that person will not have good fruit to eat. ”
"It's just that the court disputes can't be seen thoroughly, and Your Majesty is a person whose mind is difficult to guess easily."
"If Your Majesty's intentions can be guessed by you, you don't have to mingle in the court."
Su Zhiyuan's words were absolutely not alarmist, in this regard, Su Boxing looked solemn and said.
"Father, the son knows his mistakes, and the son should not speak falsely."
"Well, tomorrow morning, you and I will know what Your Majesty means."
The next morning, His Majesty announced that the Seven Princes would manage Su Ji, and this news caused a sensation in the government and the opposition.
You must know that in the past, His Majesty was very optimistic about the Seven Princes, but now that the Seven Princes have taken care of the royal ranch very properly, His Majesty naturally gave the Seven Princes this opportunity.
After the prince returned to the prince's mansion, he was furious, and Mr. Gongsun and the princess persuaded him several times without the slightest result.
I don't know who leaked the news of the prince's tantrum after returning home, and many people in the capital are waiting to see the prince's jokes.
The news reached the Su family ranch, and Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen had returned to the ranch at this time.
That night, after Shen Baiqing had dinner with Su Bowen, Shen Baiqing sighed when he mentioned this matter.
"Before, I thought that the Seventh Prince was a manufacturable material, but I didn't expect that the Seven Princes were really powerful enough, and it had only been a long time before His Majesty used him so much."
Hearing this, Su Bowen frowned slightly and said.
"I can't see anything in this matter, it's nothing more than His Majesty's intention to ask the Su family to support the Seventh Prince, maybe he wants to confront the prince's side.
If there is no force in the court that can compete with the power of the prince, I think His Majesty will worry about the ambition of the prince and the wolf.
After all, since ancient times, there have been many people who have killed kings and fathers, and Your Majesty is also taking precautions. ”
"Also, I just don't know what will become of the capital in the future, I hope the Su family can be safe."
"Rest assured, everything will be safe."
Early the next morning, after Shen Baiqing woke up, Qiulan brought a letterhead, saying that it was a letter sent by the Seven Princes' Mansion in the capital, and it was said that it was sent by the Seven Princes' henchmen in a few days.
Su Bowen came to Shen Baiqing's side, and after Shen Baiqing read the content of the letter, he handed the letterhead to Su Bowen.
While Su Bowen was reading the letter, Shen Baiqing said.
"I didn't expect the Seven Princes to be so polite, saying that Su Ji would take care of us for the time being, and when we returned to the capital, the Seven Princes would return Su Ji to us.
Husband, what do you think about this matter? ”
Seeing Shen Baiqing ask herself, the smile on Su Bowen's face deepened.
"The Seventh Prince just wants to take the initiative to show goodwill with us, after all, he is not a *** faction above the court and is loyal to His Majesty, and our Su family is in the front.
His Majesty has asked us to help the Seven Princes many times, and the Seven Princes are not stupid, so they naturally know the intentions. ”
"It seems that the Seventh Prince deliberately wants to be friendly with us?"
"Now there are only two ways in front of the Seventh Prince, either to compete with the crown prince, or to wait until the crown prince ascends the throne, he will not have a good life."
Su Bowen's words were very reasonable, and Shen Baiqing couldn't help but sigh, the royal people were really old foxes, treacherous and cunning.
In this way, Shen Baiqing said.
"Otherwise, I will write a letter to Su Ji's shopkeeper, so that the three Su Ji families will cooperate with the Seven Princes, at least Su Ji's business will not be lost."
"Well, this is fine, then it will be troublesome Madame."
"I still have to be so polite, I don't know, I still think that you have done something behind my back that displeased me."
Shen Baiqing said this was nothing more than teasing Su Bowen, and the smile on Su Bowen's face deepened.
After Shen Baiqing's letter reached the capital, Su Ji gradually got on the right track under the management of the Seven Princes, and the people were very satisfied with the Seven Princes, and the royal supply was also complete, and the supply of the Prince's Mansion was not bad at all.
It's just that now every time the prince sees Su Ji's tribute food, he is angry and orders people not to take Su Ji's food to the house, which makes everyone feel pity.
Such news spread in the capital, and after Shen Baiqing learned the gossip in the capital, he felt that the prince was very interesting.
On the side, He Lian saw Shen Baiqing with a bright smile and asked.
"Second Madam, why are you happy?"
"Now that my days on the ranch are getting more and more comfortable, I am naturally happy."
Before, Shen Baiqing was worried that once she and Su Bowen left the capital, something would happen in the capital that would be unfavorable to the Su family, but now it seems that she is too worried.
As long as His Majesty is here, the Su family will be fine, and in this way, things will not be so difficult.
Shen Baiqing took Qiulan and He Lian to the stable, and saw Zhao Yi checking the horse material very seriously, and Shen Baiqing said that it was satisfaction.
As soon as Zhao saw Shen Baiqing, he hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"Second lady."
"It seems that Steward Zhao is becoming more and more capable in the ranch now."
Shen Baiqing had already learned from Qiulan that Zhao Yi was very capable in the ranch, originally Shen Baiqing brought Zhao Yi to the ranch, and only arranged a helper for Qiulan, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yi could be in charge now, so Shen Baiqing could also rest assured.
"The second lady is really tormenting the small, and the small one is just doing her best."
"Work hard in the future, take care of the ranch with Qiulan, and you won't be able to find your benefits after all."
What Shen Baiqing said was the truth, the Su family's ranch originally gave the subordinates more silver taels than outside, and of course, the subordinates of the Su family's ranch also tried their best to do things.
If she encounters the treacherous and slippery, Qiulan can't leave anyone behind.
"Tomorrow I will pack up with my husband and go to the border city for a while, and you will continue to manage the ranch affairs, if there is anything that you can't decide, wait until we return."
"Yes."
