Chapter 269: Ill-intentioned
When Zhou Jin followed the eunuch to the Imperial Palace, Zhou Yu was already in the main hall, and Zhou Jin hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully greeted Zhou Yi.
"Erchen has seen his father."
Zhou Yi's expression was calm at this time, his tone was flat, and then he waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
"Thank you, Father." Then he turned to Zhou Yu and saluted, "I've seen the imperial brother." ”
Zhou Yu also replied: "I've seen the second brother." ”
Then both straightened up at the same time and stood aside.
"I don't know why my father summoned us?" Zhou Yu saw that his father had not spoken for a long time, and couldn't help but step forward and ask.
Zhou Yi said slowly: "In the past few days, there have been first-class rumors in the capital, have the two emperors heard of it?" ”
Zhou Yu replied: "Father refers to Su Shi's encounter with immortals, and the matter of being enlightened by immortals?" ”
"Yes, what does Yu'er think about this?"
Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "This matter must be false." ”
"Why is Yu'er so sure?"
"The First Emperor had searched for immortals all over the world without success, how could he meet immortals when he was Su? And if Su Shi obtains the immortal fate, he will naturally follow the immortal cultivation path, and how can he be nostalgic for the red dust. But now when he looks at the Soviet Union, he is just a layman, so this matter must be false. ”
At this time, Zhou Yu's expression became serious: "But now that rumors are spreading, the capital is shaking, and the people who spread this rumor must have ulterior motives." ”
"Who does Yu'er think will spread this rumor?"
"I don't know. However, when Erchen heard that Su Shi was faced with this rumor, he smiled and avoided answering, obviously intending to let this rumor spread. And he also relied on this rumor to gain momentum, and it is difficult to say that this rumor has nothing to do with him. ”
Zhou Yi nodded lightly, and asked Zhou Jin again: "What does Jin'er think about this?" ”
Zhou Jin took a step forward and said unhurriedly: "I also think this matter is false. Speaking of this, he couldn't help frowning: "But there is one thing that cannot be explained." ”
Zhou Yi asked slowly, "What is Jin'er referring to?" ”
Zhou Jin hurriedly replied: "Su Shi's temperament, ability, and style of acting have changed so dramatically before and after, it is really difficult to explain that they are like two people. So Erchen had a bold guess. ”
Zhou Yi's expression moved: "What speculation?" ”
Zhou Jin groaned: "Could this Su Shi be a talented person, but he has been hiding his clumsiness." ”
Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and he deliberately asked, "Why would a talented person want to hide his clumsiness?" ”
Zhou Jin said lightly: "This is to ask Su Shi himself, or someone is pointing behind his back." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yi's face sank, his eyes flashed with a chill, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Since Su Shi wants to hide, why do you want to show your edge now?" ”
Zhou Jin shook his head: "Erchen doesn't know. Erchen speculated that the reason why there were rumors of Su Shi's encounter with immortals now happened to give a reasonable reason for Su Shi's huge changes. After all, immortals are ethereal, and no mortal can see them, and naturally no one can confirm them. ”
Zhou Yi's face became heavier and heavier, and his eyes became sharper and sharper, and at this time, Zhou Yu said again: "Father, this Su Shi is only afraid that he has a bad heart. ”
"Ill-intentioned?" Zhou Yi said coldly: "Is there any evidence? ”
Zhou Yu said slowly: "The Qianqiu Warehouse has more than 100 million taels of silver, and the Qianqiu Firm has also controlled the rice industry in the capital, and Su Shi has controlled the wealthy families in the capital with glass products and wine. ”
Speaking of this, his voice suddenly became low: "Old General Su has a 100,000 elite army under the command of the border. ”
Zhou Yi shouted angrily: "Enough, General Su is dedicated to the country and loyal, and he can't be slandered behind his back." ”
Zhou Yu hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Erchen knows his mistake. But then he raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yi, with a worried look on his face, and said generously: "But even if my father blames his son, the son still has to say that Su Shi has to be guarded against." ”
Zhou Yi became silent for a while, and his expression gradually calmed down.
"According to the emperor's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but be happy when he saw that his father's heart was moved, but his expression remained unchanged, and he still maintained an impassioned look, and said: "What Su Shi relies on is only the Qianqiu firm, and according to Erchen's understanding, he has not contributed a penny of the principal of this Qianqiu firm, so the industry under his name actually has little to do with Su Shi." ”
"And as long as the Qianqiu business name is confiscated, Su Shi's mind can be broken, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will naturally not be suspicious of General Su."
Zhou Jin couldn't help but applaud on the side: "Brother Huang's strategy is very good, it can not only knock Su Shi quietly, but also save General Su's face." Erchen thinks this strategy is feasible. ”
Zhou Yi finally nodded slightly, as if agreeing with the words of the two, but then said: "It's getting late, the two emperors should go back and rest first." ”
Although the two were anxious to compete for the Qianqiu firm, they also knew that it was not appropriate to mention the matter at this time. Now that the father has moved, he has the idea of kicking Su Shi out of the game, and his goal has been achieved.
As for the Qianqiu Library, sooner or later it will be in their pocket, so why rush it for a while and leave a bad impression in the heart of the emperor.
Therefore, the two of them saluted at the same time: "The son of the minister is retired, and I also ask my father to take care of the dragon body and rest early." ”
Zhou Yi waved his hand lightly, and Zhou Yu and Zhou Jin slowly retreated.
After the two of them walked out of the Imperial Palace, Zhou Jin smiled at Zhou Yu: "Congratulations to the imperial brother, today it is effortless to make Su Shi never turn over, but it is ridiculous that Su Shi still wants to hit the stone with an egg, but it is just to add to the laughter." ”
Zhou Yu looked at him with an indifferent expression, and said lightly: "Could it be that the imperial brother is not interested in the Qianqiu business?" ”
"When the time comes, I still hope that the royal brother will give a piece of the pie to the imperial brother."
"The imperial brother laughed, how to deal with this Qianqiu business is naturally decided by the father, maybe the imperial brother will have to ask the imperial brother for a piece of the pie at that time."
"The imperial brother laughed, who doesn't know that the father loves the imperial brother the most, so he will naturally leave the best for the imperial brother." Speaking of this, he saluted and said: "It's really late, the royal brother should rest early, and the imperial brother will leave." ”
Zhou Yu replied: "The imperial brother also rested earlier, I wish the imperial brother a good dream today." ”
Zhou Jin smiled: "A good dream is the easiest to wake up, wake up and sigh, or no dream until dawn." ”
After finishing speaking, he went straight back to the palace.
Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Jin's back, couldn't help but snort coldly, and then walked towards his palace under the guidance of the eunuch.
After Zhou Yu and Zhou Jin left, Zhou Yi pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "Preserve righteousness, polish ink." ”
Hu Cunyi immediately walked to the bookcase, rolled up his sleeves and began to sharpen the ink.
Zhou Yi picked up the imperial pen, wrote down the holy decree, then rolled it up and handed it to Hu Cunyi, and said coldly: "I will go to the General's Mansion early tomorrow morning to announce the decree." ”
