Recently, Shangguan Changzhi has been in a very good mood. During this time, his performance during the disaster relief period won the favor of many officials and people, and his tenure in Honglu Temple became more and more like a fish in water. He is developing his own power and exerting his influence in Honglu Temple. The process is slow, subtle, but exciting, and he is not in a hurry, like a hunter who patiently waits for the beast to be caught.

"Does that woman have any more words?" Shangguan Changzhi asked Xu Sansi. Things in the Chen Mansion are going as planned, and now, it's almost time to wrap up. He was a little anxious, but he was more cautious, afraid that he would make a mistake at the end of the end like the Jing Zhaoyin incident again.

"It's coming, it's been a few days. The Chen family privately found a doctor, and it seems that they plan to hide this matter. Xu Sansi replied that he expected that Old Taijun Chen was seriously ill, although he did not know the specific matters of the Chen Mansion, he could speculate on the development of the matter.

"I'm afraid they didn't hide it, and it's better to keep it a secret after they die." Shangguan Changzhi had a relaxed smile on his face, and he was also in control of the prediction of things. No matter how this matter develops, the loss of the second child can't be avoided, he just waits to watch the show! The best result is that the Chen family continues to hide it, and when the time comes, he will join the Chen family to conceal the news of his death, which is for the crime of disloyalty and unfilial piety, so that the Chen family will die! The worst result is also the worry of the Chen family, so the power of the military department will not be held by the second child alone. Without the military department, the second child would be equivalent to a broken arm, thinking of this, the smile on his face deepened.

"Let's keep that red sleeve for the time being, and wait until the matter of the Chen Mansion is over." Shangguan said to Xu Sansi like this, changing his original attention to extinguishing the red sleeves. Originally, in order to prevent the recurrence of Jing Zhaoyin's matter, the red sleeves must not be left behind, but thinking of her hatred for the Chen family and her scheming skills, he hesitated a little.

The reason why Chen Lao Taijun was seriously ill and dying was a plan by Shangguan Changzhi and the staff of the five princes. Speaking of which, this matter is also related to Shen Ning. Last year's Flower Dynasty Festival, Shen Ning gave Chen Wanrou an early warning, which caused the Red Sleeves incident to occur, and the Chen family sold Chen Wanrou's personal maid Red Sleeves to Northern Xinjiang along with Lao Tzu's brother and sister-in-law's family to serve hard labor. From the time the Red Sleeves family set off from Jingzhao, the Five Princes' Mansion sent people to follow them. Unexpectedly, the red-sleeved family had not yet arrived in northern Xinjiang, and Lao Tzu Niang and his brother and sister-in-law couldn't stand it and died, and the red-sleeved family was also raped by the escorted officers and soldiers, and life was worse than death. It was only at this time that the staff of the Five Princes' Mansion, who had been watching coldly, rescued Red Sleeves, in order to use Red Sleeves to hate the Chen family and Chen Wanrou like a flash flood.

The people of the Fifth Prince's Mansion told Red Sleeves that they could avenge her, but the Chen family had the support of the Second Prince's Mansion, and it was not a matter of a day or two to bring her down, so let her wait patiently. First of all, it is necessary to cut down the power of the Chen family first. Compared with the people of the Chen family, the one that Red Sleeves hated the most was the second princess Chen Wanrou, she hated her for not saving her, and she wanted to expel her to Northern Xinjiang! Obviously, Chen Wanrou is safe and sound, why don't you care about the relationship between the two of them - but she doesn't know that Chen Wanrou is thinking about the relationship between the master and servant, otherwise she would have died a long time ago.

The red sleeves did not disappoint the five princes, she knew a lot about the things around the masters of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and the design to make Chen Taijun seriously ill was exactly the plan she came up with. I have to say that hatred and determination for revenge will maximize a person's intelligence, and a little maid with red sleeves can come up with such a serial scheme, and the results are remarkable, even Shangguan Changzhi has to admire, and at the same time has lingering palpitations for her viciousness.

When Red Sleeves was in the Chen Mansion, he had an extremely good sister named Green Guard. Green was originally a personal maid who served Chen Wanrou, and when Red Sleeves was still a little maid, Green Guard took great care of her. Lu Wei was an orphan, and was later released by Chen Wanrou to marry a small businessman, and gave birth to a son, and his life was very beautiful.

Red Sleeves' revenge didn't have anything to do with Green Wing, but Red Sleeves knew Green Sleeve's biggest secret. The mother-in-law who serves the decoction by Mrs. Chen's side is the biological mother of the red sleeves, and the green lady is her illegitimate daughter! The mother-in-law has always regretted her early abandonment of the green man, and always thinks about making up for the green man, which is also very good for the green man, and the plan that the red sleeves think of starts here. She had the people of the Five Princes' Mansion tie up Lu Ji and her son, so as to threaten the mother-in-law to manipulate Chen Taijun's decoction, or else give her the bodies of her daughter Lu Ji and her grandson.

The mother-in-law had no choice but to do as she was told, so after the autumn, Mrs. Chen's body was not as good as day by day, and now the medicine stone is ineffective. If the Chen family conceals the fact that Chen Lao Taijun is dead, then the people of the Five Princes' Mansion will naturally tell Emperor Changtai about this, this crime of bullying the monarch and unfilial piety can uproot the Chen family, and the people of the Five Princes' Mansion promised the red sleeves, and finally Chen Wanrou's head will be sent to her.

This is the reason why Mrs. Chen Laojun is seriously ill, the Chen family is facing Ding worry, and the second prince is facing a loss of power. The people of the Five Princes' Mansion were naturally satisfied with the development of this situation.

Within a few days, before the Second Prince's Mansion could consider a suitable replacement candidate for the military department, Chen Lao Taijun died of illness. The Chen family released the news, on the one hand, they sent people to each family to report the funeral, on the other hand, Chen Zhihao, Chen Shuzhou and others went to Emperor Changtai to ask for Ding Wei, and recommended a candidate to take over as the secretary of the military department, so they concentrated on preparing for the funeral of Mrs. Chen Laojun in the mansion.

In this matter, the Chen family did not be confused to the end, and did not hide the news of the old lady's death as Shangguan Changzhi expected. Chen Zhihao knew that his mother's death could not be hidden, the Chen family had a great business, although Mrs. Chen lived in a simple house, there were some occasions that he had to attend, such as entering the palace to see him, how could this be hidden? The lesser of two evils, the Chen family quickly made a decision, even if Ding Wei was at home, there was no way, in the name of unfilial piety, the Chen family must not bear it!

The news of the death of the old lady of the Chen family came out. Because Mrs. Chen is a three-grade order, ** also gave a lot of condolences and gifts, and the second princess also went back to Chen's mansion to cry, but she couldn't mourn. According to the etiquette system, the princess and concubine cannot serve the mourning of their mother's family, and they can only serve the mourning if there is a royal mourning. Naturally, the wives of Jingzhao officials came to the door to offer condolences, and Shen Yu's family naturally also went, carrying a handkerchief stained with minced onions, crying so much that his eyes were swollen.

Not long after, Emperor Changtai approved Chen Zhihao's request for Ding Wei's excerpt, but did not let the candidate recommended by Chen Zhihao take over the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, but transferred Bian Zhihe, the assassin of Guizhou, to the post of secretary of the Ministry of War.

This will made Shangguan Chengyou and Shangguan Changzhi change color. Bian Zhihe is the elder brother of Concubine Mu of Chaotun Palace, that is, the uncle of Shangguan Qide, the tenth prince!
