"Yes, it's clear that Xiaoyaosu is the best candidate for the prince, but that faint monarch loves the prince very much, I really don't know what evil he has fallen into."

Yao Guogong clenched his hand into a fist and slammed the bed hard, "I knew that I would suffer such a wretched spirit when I was old, it was better to die on the battlefield at the beginning, but I was happy!" ”

"Yao Guogong, don't say such things, our group of people have come together through several generations of emperors, and now seeing you in such a situation, we are also suffering in our hearts."

"That's right, the emperor doesn't even pay attention to a founding minister like you, and we don't know what the bleak ending will be in the future.

"Everyone, the emperor is so unkind, why don't we join forces and fight against him together?!" Yao Guogong laid the groundwork for so long, and finally said what he wanted to say the most.

"Against the Emperor?" The courtiers looked at each other, "Yao Guogong, aren't you joking with us?" After all, a minister is a minister, how can he fight against the imperial power? ”

"Why not? The reason why the descendants of the royal family can sit firmly on the dragon chair is not because of our support? If he didn't have our group, what would he have? ”

Although Yao Guogong is old, he is a military general after all, and his tone is impassioned, and the blood of the other ministers boils when he hears it.

"Yao Guogong is right, even if we are old, the connections in our hands are still there, as long as we can join forces, it is not easy to subvert the imperial power?"

"But if the troublesome people don't make a living, won't they be stinking for 10,000 years in the future?"

"You can rest assured that I just wanted to mention the emperor, and I didn't really want to drag him off the throne." Yao Guogong opened his mouth in time.

The ministers have their own thoughts in their hearts, after all, at this age, there are too many things to scruple about, how dare they easily put all the descendants of the family into it.

"I won't force you to do this, but if you keep swallowing your anger, you won't end up much better than me. Don't forget, the crown prince is far more brutal than the current emperor. ”

This is simply said in the hearts of the courtiers, if the crown prince ascends the throne, can they still have a good life?

"Okay, we all listen to Yao Guogong's arrangement, and you can do what you say!"

"That's right, if it's a big deal, you can be regarded as worthy of the first emperor!"

Gossip echoed in the room, and the court was destined to have a bloody storm soon.

"Concubine Su, it's already night, are you going to talk to that woman in the next room?"

"Naturally, I'm going." Su Qingyan lifted a lantern and explained, "You help me watch outside, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

Xie Ying dutifully watched in the dark, Su Qingyan walked to the woman's room, raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.

The wooden door was opened, and the woman seemed to have guessed that she would come, and politely welcomed the person in.

"Madame want tea? No tea was found in the room, only clear water. ”

"I'm not thirsty, it's a waste of time, let's just get down to business."

"What do you want to tell me?"

Su Qingyan: "Qian Shan forcibly robbed the people's daughter, this is already a sure thing, I hope you can go to the yamen with me to expose his crimes." ”

"No, if I go out, I won't be able to see anyone, and even my young sister will be pointed at in the future."

"If you want to bring the wicked to justice, you have to face all this. If you don't want to testify, and the other women won't come forward, the number of innocent people who will be mutilated will only increase. ”

"But I was innocent, and who will save me? Madam, I even dreamed of skinning and cramping the mountain of money, but I can't gamble with my sister's reputation and future. ”

"As long as you promise to denounce Qianshan, I will send your family out of Kyoto and start over in a new place."

The woman smiled bitterly and shook her head, "The most terrible thing in this world is gossip, as long as I am still in the territory of Daliang, everything I have experienced in the past will be known sooner or later, and how to deal with myself at that time." ”

Su Qingyan sighed silently, "I understand your thoughts, but have you thought about it, when your sister grows up, maybe she will end up with the same ending as you." ”

"No way, he won't be so unconscionable!"

"What kind of conscience and morality do you talk about with such people? Is this the result that your sister is now in the tea garden, under his nose, and when she gets more and more delicate, she will fall into his clutches sooner or later? ”

"I don't want to!" The woman's emotions became very intense, "I will never allow my sister to be defiled and ruined!" ”

"If you really don't want to, you have to learn to fight, and I will ask the Yamen to hear the case behind closed doors and not let any news be revealed, so that you don't have to worry about the reputation of yourself and your sister being damaged."

The woman looked at her blankly, "Who are you?" Will the yamen really listen to you? ”

"You'll find out who I am sooner or later, but it's not convenient for me to reveal it until the dust settles."

"Can you really believe your words?"

"If there is a word of deception, it will make me thunder five thunders, and I will never be able to live beyond my life."

"Well, I believe you."

Falling into such a predicament, the woman had no choice but to bet all her chips on Su Qingyan.

"Someday, you will be glad for your choice, it's not too early, I'll go back and rest first, and I'll tell you tomorrow what needs to be done."

"Hmm."

After a good night's sleep, the next morning, Su Qingyan washed up with sleepy eyes, and Xie Ying sent a good news in time.

"Concubine Su, there is a message from the master's side, early this morning, Yao Guogong and many ministers rushed to the government affairs hall to ask for the deposition of the crown prince. The emperor was furious and ordered all the participants to be killed on the spot, but no one in the Manchu civil and military forces paid any attention, and even the guards guarding outside the palace ignored his orders. ”

"And then?"

The emperor understood that he had become a fat sheep to be slaughtered, and sat down on the dragon chair in despair, but refused to agree to the deposition of the prince. The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally had no choice but to settle down. ”

Su Qingyan sneered, "Our emperor really loves the crown prince to the core, and he has come to this point, and he has to protect him at all costs." ”

"Concubine Su, now that the situation has developed to this point, what should I do next?"

"At the beginning, I didn't think that I could really drag the crown prince down from the position of prince, but no matter what, the emperor will not dare to underestimate Daddy and those old ministers in the future."

In this way, Yao Guogong's position in the court has become more and more stable, and no one dares to bully and suppress him anymore.

Xie Ying nodded as if he didn't understand, "Yao Guogong must be able to understand Concubine Su's hard work." ”

"Daddy helped me in my most difficult time, and I deserve to do my best to repay me."

"That's what Concubine Su said."

While the two were talking, Su Qingyan had already changed his clothes, "Let's go, let's go to the yamen to do business next." ”

The officials in the Kyoto Yamen were very familiar with Su Qingyan, after all, as a businessman, many contracts needed to be notarized before they could be validated.

"Concubine Xiaoyao, why did you come here at this hour."

"Lord Liu, I have a tricky matter that I want you to help."

"Oh? Concubine Su said to listen to it. ”

Su Qingyan elaborated on what Qian Zhangshi did, "Do you think you can convict him on the charge of robbing people's girls?" ”
