Shen couldn't help but purse his lips when he remembered the news that the old man brought back, he always felt that those people should not have left the capital yet, and they might even be hiding in places they didn't know, they didn't find out why those people went to the horse farm, and they didn't know who let them go on the horse farm.

This kind of unpredictability, not knowing the details, not knowing the purpose, and even not knowing when it will appear again makes him feel full of crisis, and it is difficult to live in peace.

Zhao Xu looked at him more than him, and when he saw Shen Ke's worried look, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, no matter who those people are, they are not going for you after all, and then they will move towards you, I am afraid that after discovering Jing Anbo and them, the dog jumped over the wall and wanted to pull a cushion, you are purely unlucky." ”

"I know."

Shen sighed, he knew that those people were not going for him, or even for Xue Nuo, even that Bai Jinyuan might have suffered an unwarranted disaster, but because of this, he always had trouble in his heart.

If you know the purpose and you can prevent it from happening, you don't know anything before your heart hangs.

Zhao Xu fanned the cool breeze, thinking of the things in the past few days: "By the way, do you know what happened at the end of the Chengguo Mansion?" ”

Shen said disapprenosingly: "What's the matter." ”

"Just Zheng Hongan."

Zhao Xu said with interest, "He has been convicted of colluding with Meng Dehui, I heard that Feng Yuan took Jin Linwei's people to copy the Meng family's courtyard and dig up a pile of gold, and the eldest son of Chengguo took the initiative to enter the palace with most of the money of the Guogong Mansion on the back foot, and almost took out all the family funds to fill the treasury." ”

"I heard the news from the palace that Cheng Guogong had a high fever and was unconscious since he was carried back to the mansion this morning, and Zheng Hongyu knelt down in front of the saint with his family wealth, only saying that the Zheng family was ashamed to raise unfilial descendants in vain for the grace of the saint, and he was willing to give up his family wealth to make up for the disaster that Zheng Hongan broke into in a fool."

"In addition to these, the queen mother also knelt outside the imperial study and took off her hairpin to ask for her brother's guilt, saying that she had not restrained her family from getting involved in the corruption of the household department, and asked to abolish the rear position, and the battle alarmed the clan, and even my grandmother entered the palace."

Before Zhao Xu came to the Shen family, he heard his grandfather talking to his father about this, and he listened to it.

He always knew that the queen and the others were not on good terms with the crown prince, and he wanted to say it to surprise Shen Ke, but he didn't think that he was too calm.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but say as he spoke: "Why aren't you surprised at all?" ”

"What is there to be surprised about."

"After the queen asked for her abolition, she is the biggest reliance of the Chengguo Mansion and the three princes."

The reason why the third prince can be so arrogant and complacent, he has always felt that he can compete with the prince, and he is not satisfied that the position of the prince falls on the prince, because he is the successor, and he is the son of the middle palace like the prince.

Once the queen is deposed, how is he different from other princes?

Shen listened to Zhao Xu's words with an indifferent expression: "Then did Your Majesty abolish her?" ”

Zhao Xu was stunned.

Shen Ke mocked: "The queen is indeed the support of the Chengguo Mansion, but the Chengguo Mansion is not her dependence." ”

"Chengguo Gong has been in the dynasty for many years, and there are many dependents, as long as the Chengguo Mansion does not fall, and the power of the queen's family is not reduced, it is impossible for Your Majesty to abolish the queen rashly, they know this but they still make such a fuss, but they just want to hand a step to Your Majesty by retreating, so that he will no longer delve into Zheng Hongan's affairs."

This seems to be a big deal, but what can they actually lose?

The queen was ridiculed for two days at most, and then she was still the mother of a country.

Chengguo Mansion seems to have given up most of the money and hurt the bones, but as long as the three princes are still there and the queen is still there, they will still stand, who can be sure that the money that Chengguo Gong gave up today is not all the confidence they have accumulated over the years, or it is used to deal with the court perfunctory on the surface.

As long as Zheng Hongan's affairs can be passed over safely and calmly, the Chengguo Mansion will suffer a big loss on the surface, but when it is operated a little in the future, people will feel that the Chengguo Duke and the queen are generous, loyal and reasonable.

People will only regret that the Zheng family has an unfilial son, who is greedy and lustful and implicates them, but no one will use this matter to accuse Chengguo and the queen.

Once and for all, it can not only prevent future troubles, but also avoid hidden worries, and can also win the name of righteousness and annihilation.

The Chengguo Mansion and the Empress are simply calculating.

Although Zhao Xu is also a young talent, he doesn't have much insight into this kind of calculation after all.

Listening to Shen's somewhat mocking words, he suddenly remembered what his grandfather had said before, although His Majesty received the silver handed over by the Chengguo Mansion, he personally helped the queen to get up without mentioning the matter after the abolition, and later sent the imperial doctor to the Guogong Mansion to treat Chengguo Gong......

Shen sneered: "Look at it, if there is no follow-up to this matter, I'm afraid Zheng Hongan's matter will end here." ”

For others, the big crime of robbing the family and exterminating the clan, the Zheng family can be cleaned up by showing weakness and making a scene.

He stretched out his hand and twisted his knuckles, full of mockery: "Don't be too sincere about those farces in the palace in the future, some things are just a game between all parties under the weighing of the pros and cons of those in power, if Your Majesty really wants to do something, he will not wait for someone to come to him." ”

The punishment of the Zheng family is the same.

This is still the case after the abolition.

……

The old lady of the Shen family is doing a whole birthday this year, so it is very lively.

When the Shen family held a banquet, the invited guests also joined in and said some auspicious words, but there was no uninteresting candidate to touch the Shen family's bad luck today.

After Xiao Chi and Jiang Yuzhu met with Mrs. Shen to congratulate her on her birthday, Xiao Chi went to talk to Shen Zhongkang, but Jiang Yuzhu did not go to the front hall because of his poor health, but stayed behind to talk to Mrs. Shen and them.

Although Jiang Yuzhu is sick, he is handsome, and he has a gentle temperament, and he smiles when he speaks to people, and there are many people present in the open flower hall, so there is no need to avoid suspicion too much, so the ladies and ladies in the hall do not feel offended.

After talking to Mrs. Shen for a while, some people around praised him and looked very happy in the house today, listening to the old lady praising Mrs. Shen's ability of Zou Shi, Jiang Yuzhu saw that the second Mrs. Shen Wu came out of the hall with a calm face, and he suddenly covered his mouth and coughed low.

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at it, and Old Madam Shen also stopped talking and said with concern: "What's wrong with Jiang Shizi?" ”

Jiang Yuzhu said a little apologetically: "It may be that there are many people here, so it is a little uncomfortable, which disturbs the old lady's conversation." ”

He was emaciated, his face was pale, and he covered his mouth and coughed twice when he spoke.

"Old lady's birthday, don't call me this medicine jar affects the joy, I don't know if you can let me go outside to breathe, and wait until Jing Anbo and Shen Cifu finish talking before leaving together?"
