Chapter 556: Everyone Wants to Save Themselves
Cai Guan gently put the pen and paper in front of his father-in-law: "Write a letter of resignation!" β
"I did it, I'm going to ask the emperor for guilt!" Elder Liu stood up.
"It's too late!" Cai Guan smiled bitterly, although he couldn't guess what Guo Peng would do, but Xin Kun's methods, he knew very well, but how he was going to tell them that the first two gentle treatments must have been Guo Peng's idea, Xin Kun didn't know. However, you must know that in order to avenge the revenge of Xin Yao's parents, Xin Kun made a fake sword, which brought countless deaths and injuries. Xin Kun is much more ruthless than Guo Peng.
Xiao Liuge quickly wrote a letter of resignation and put it in the hands of his old wife, and looked at her fixedly, "You still have to raise your grandson, you can't die with me." β
Mrs. Liu understood, got up and bowed deeply to her husband, pulled her daughter-in-law, who was still crying, and asked someone to clean up her things. She and Mei Niang both have dowries, and she can also take Lord Liu's private property away, and now Cai Guan can only rescue them. Mrs. Liu didn't salute her in-laws, and now, what she hates the most is these two people, and she just went out with her head held high.
In the old lady's study, there was silence again. Shuyuan also went out, and now there is only the old lady in the study. Cai Guan's relationship with the old lady is not even average. He knew that the old lady had strongly advocated for Shuyuan to marry Guo Peng, and An's was not kind, but she was just helping Concubine Gao have a child.
Waiting for their child to be born, and the child was taken away by the noble concubine, can Shuyuan still live? None of the people sitting here are stupid, and it is precisely knowing this that Xiao Liu Ge Lao and Liu Hanlin will think that Xin Kun's plan is better and let Shuyuan marry him.
So this old lady's brain is the same as the old lady, full of calculations, the old lady didn't listen to the old lady at the beginning, because he can calculate that Shuyuan marrying into the Cai family is much more cost-effective than just helping the noble concubine give birth to a child. Therefore, he really didn't even have an extra look at the old lady.
"What will the emperor do?" Xiao Liu Ge didn't want to blame anyone anymore, now he was thinking that his son was too wronged.
"I'll think of protecting my uncle." Cai Guan hesitated for a moment, but still said softly.
"Thank you!" Elder Xiaoliuge breathed a long sigh of relief, and immediately looked at his son, "If you have the opportunity, you must live, you have to take care of your mother, wife and children." You have to live! β
"Father!" Liu Hanlin knelt in front of his father, why did Cai Guan want to repeat the matter just now, he was telling everyone that the first two times were enough for the Liu family to punish the three clans, but the emperor let them go. It won't even hurt the noble concubine in the palace, if the grandfather left honestly, none of this would have happened. The century-old foundation of the Liu family was destroyed in one fell swoop.
Xiao Liuge didn't cry, he was actually introspecting himself, why was he persuaded by his father so easily? Because of desire, because he also wants to get back into the game. And this morning, he has heard about the affairs of the court, the emperor does not care about these useless things at all, and the focus of his attention is on the problems that may be caused by the interruption of the yellow stream in the coming year. He put forward a three-step proposal, so that all the ministries would be happy and surrender, as long as the people in the court and the central government did not attack each other, who would have time to fight every day.
He wrote down the emperor's 'three steps' in the study, and pondered it carefully, he has been an assistant to the government for more than a year, and these three points include all the problems that may occur, the south-to-north grain transfer, and the big ship of the sailors, will not cause panic among the people, and the grain can arrive safely;
Summoning the people to open the river, it seems that it is to prepare for the beginning of spring, but in fact, why not use these grains to give the people, so that after the beginning of spring, they will not worry too much about the drought, and now they will start to collect potatoes, raise sprouts, and go back to help the people plant on the arid land. All this can effectively comfort the poor, and can also ensure that they will not be affected by the famine to the greatest extent;
The third is immigration, which cannot but be said to be very bold. However, the land annexation in the Guannai has been very serious, and countless displaced people on both sides of the Yellow River are actually hidden dangers, telling them that now there is a piece of fertile land for them, and what is opened up is their own, and then when the land is cleared, the court will also pay living expenses, but I am afraid that the people of the world will know about it, and they will forget what it means to be difficult to leave their homeland.
So, he and his father discussed impeachment again yesterday, so that the emperor could explain the theory of the demon star, you know, the emperor did not issue an order for the old lady to guard the mausoleum, but just "suggested" that he come back and make it clear to the old man. And the father and brother-in-law's letter to the emperor has not yet been approved, all this can be reversed.
So they also borrowed a counterattack from those who followed the Liu family and the Gao family. As long as Qin Tianjian bit to death and said that there is a demon star around the emperor, so the Yellow River is cut off and the old minister retreats is all done by the demon star. Then, they can force the emperor not to allow their father and brother-in-law to guard the mausoleum, the title of the Liu family is still there, and they still have a chance to start over.
Now look at it, it turns out that the stupidest person is himself.
"There is also a noble concubine, the concubine is the widow of the former emperor, the emperor will always give her a chance!" The old lady finally spoke.
Cai Guan wanted to laugh, the old lady was so naΓ―ve!
"The emperor doesn't allow anyone to talk about the concubine, otherwise, the son will not go to work and return home." Elder Xiaoliuge is still respectful to his mother.
"The son-in-law thinks that what you did is not wrong, it's just that the emperor doesn't like to get involved with women in everything! He felt after ||The palace maid is already pitiful enough, if she is still used by her family, and finally pushed out by her family, this is something he can't tolerate. Cai Guan smiled at his father-in-law, "However, the noble concubine is not clean, and it is a hundred when she dies!" β
Cai Guan's words are very interesting, he made it very clear, the emperor did not kill, because he felt that the noble concubine was pitiful. But what if someone told him that the noble concubine had never been a white lotus? What if she wants to escape from the cage and use her family to help her ascend to the position of queen mother? They are in a circle, although he is not very familiar with that concubine, but he should know a lot.
"You!" The old lady was angry, just now Cai Guan was going to take someone away, but she didn't include herself, she also wanted to save herself.
"You can send a message to Mrs. Gao, poison the noble concubine with the line in the palace, and then tell the courtiers that it was persecuted by the emperor, and see if the Liu family and the Gao family can escape." Cai Guan smirked, and suggested very 'pertinently', for him, this is killing two birds with one stone, anyway, the Gaoliu family is out of play, it is better to help Guo Peng understand the noble concubine, which is good for everyone.
"Sister-in-law......" Liu Hanlin frowned, he really didn't like to hear this. He and Xiao Liuge didn't have much experience in fighting, and the experience of the past few days was already a lifetime for him.
But before he finished speaking, he heard a bell ring outside, and everyone's faces changed, and they counted the bells together.
