Chapter 32 Ancient Gentlemen XIII
It's a pity that I'm still involved. Alas, I regret that I shouldn't have only listened to Nie's words and not my mother.
After Su Qingxuan arranged to send the two sons-in-law to Su Qingni's house, he slowly arranged to send a concubine away, and then waited at home, waiting for the officers and soldiers to come to the door and arrest him in the prison.
However, half a month has passed, a month has passed, two months have passed...... Many people from the Three Princes' faction were beheaded and exiled, and although the Three Princes themselves were released from the Zongren Mansion, they were imprisoned.
Su Qingxuan didn't have anything to do, and the officers and soldiers didn't come to the door at all. The emperor seems to have forgotten him as a person.
Although Su Qingxuan was puzzled, he gradually reassured. The matter of the third prince is settled, and he is safe.
Su Qingxuan, who gave a sigh of relief, went to Su Qingni's house to meet her mother and picked up the child by the way. He told Mrs. Hou about his luck, and Mrs. Hou sneered.
"What a fluke, you should thank your third brother. Mrs. Hou said, "Your third brother used the connections he has made over the years to secretly help you, and you can escape." ”
"Third brother, what connections does he have?" Su Qingxuan was surprised. It's not that he looks down on his third brother, his third brother eats, drinks and has fun all day long, and he doesn't do anything at all, what connections will he have?
Mrs. Hou snorted lightly: "Don't look down on your third brother, you can also make connections by eating, drinking and having fun." You must know that there are many people who come in and out of the amusement park every day. ”
"What?" Su Qingxuan was even more surprised. Eat, drink and be merry and make connections?
Indeed, there are quite a few people who eat, drink, and have fun, and they do have connections, but are those connections useful? The people who go to the entertainment park to eat, drink, and have fun are all unsuccessful children like their third brother, what is the use of them? Can they influence the court situation? Are you kidding?
Mrs. Hou said: "Don't believe it. The fact that you were able to avoid a catastrophe this time is the credit of your third brother. Otherwise, why don't you say you're caught?"
Su Qingxuan was right to think about it, and said, "Could it be that there are really adults in the court in this entertainment park to have fun?"
Mrs. Hou said: "I don't know about this. ”
Seeing that Su Qingxuan moved his mouth, Mrs. Hou warned him: "Don't go to see your third brother, leave him some secrets and means to keep himself." After all, his connections were not obtained through the Hou Mansion. ”
Su Qingxuan's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly promised: "My son will never covet his younger brother's connections. ”
"It's good not to covet it. You take Yuan'er and them back, they are also frightened these days, you go back and appease them. Although Mrs. Hou has improved her relationship with her eldest son, she is not close after all, and after talking for a while, she can't find a topic to talk about, so she drives people away.
Su Qingxuan also missed his son, and he didn't realize Mrs. Hou's dislike, so he happily took his son and daughter back to the Hou Mansion.
On this side, Su Qingni gave 50% of the shares of the entertainment park to the prince. She is optimistic about this prince, this prince is inevitable, and it seems that the days will not be far away.
When this one ascends to that position, instead of letting him plan the entertainment park, it is better to take the initiative to give away half of the shares of the entertainment park. Anyway, with his current net worth, there is no shortage of money, and he will not end up as poor as the original owner. Moreover, in cooperation with the emperor in business, who would not dare to fight the idea of an entertainment park?
The prince received the deed from his subordinates and said with a smile: "The world says that the third son of the Baoling Marquis Mansion is the most uncompetitive and unbeatable, but I don't know that this person is the smartest and most capable, and his vision is even stronger than his two elder brothers. ”
His subordinates slandered in their hearts: Is it because Su Qingyu is optimistic about you?
The prince asked his men, "Are you ready?"
All of his men should be.
The prince said: "Do according to the plan. ”
The crowd should be again.
The prince smiled: "Lone and everyone will drink that celebration wine in the Taiji Hall three days later." ”
Two days later, Su Qingxuan received a message from his mother-in-law, asking him to guard the door at night, take his family to stay at home, and don't care about anything that happens outside. Su Qingxuan's heart jumped, is there something big happening? Which prince has annoyed His Majesty the Emperor again?
No matter how Su Qingxuan thought about it, he never thought that it would be the crown prince Zao, who had always been looked down upon by the ministers, who rebelled, led troops into the palace and forced the emperor to write an edict of abdication.
"I underestimated you. "The Emperor has mixed feelings about this son, who has always been considered mediocre. He always looked down on this son, thinking that this son was a sheep that could not stand up, but he did not expect that it was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Unbeknownst to him, this son had already taken all the forces of the capital into his own hands. The emperor was well aware that military power was the foundation of all rights. The crown prince has military power in his hands, and he, the emperor, has no way to take the crown prince.
"You did the third thing?" the emperor asked. The prince has such scheming and ability, the third child thinks that he has fallen for his plan.
The prince nodded without denial: "He is too self-righteous and too proud." ”
The emperor snorted coldly: "It's okay if I want to pass on the throne to you, but you have to guarantee the lives of your younger brothers." ”
The prince said twice: "As long as they are honest, I will naturally not kill them." But if they're not honest, I don't mind killing my brother. ”
The emperor said, "Aren't you afraid that your reputation will be damaged?"
Prince: "Tang Taizong also killed his brother and killed his brother to take the throne, isn't he also a famous Ming monarch in history." ”
Emperor: "......"
The emperor let out a long sigh, and in an instant he became much older: "I will do my best to suppress them and prevent them from doing against you." ”
The crown prince replied lightly: "I believe in my father." ”
The emperor sighed again and instructed the eunuchs beside him: "Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”
The next day, the ministers were invited to the Taiji Hall by the soldiers with trepidation, and they were all shocked to see the prince wearing a five-clawed golden dragon court uniform. They thought that the one who led the troops into the palace would be the fourth prince who knew martial arts, the fifth prince who was a foreign prince, and even the third prince who had been imprisoned, but what they didn't expect was that he had been looked down upon by everyone and thought that he was a pretense set up by the emperor!
Some ministers belonging to other factions cried out unconvinced on the spot. The prince didn't bother to pay attention to them, and with a wave of his hand, a team of royal forest soldiers entered the main hall, took off the hats of those ministers, stripped off the official mansion, and dragged them out of the Taiji Palace.
The crown prince gave another order, and the subordinates and deputies of the officials who had been dragged away were promoted to take their place. Judging from the respect of these people for the crown prince, these people turned out to be the prince's people! Thinking of the prince's easy control of the Imperial Forest Army, all the ministers understood. It turns out that the prince has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!
