Zhumen Hangui

Ha ha!It seemed that not only did he want to recruit him, but he also had to sacrifice his life for him so early on.

Regardless of the fourth prince's mention, Su Yizhao could have guessed that this matter must be related to the mine.

"My Highness knows that you are eloquent and meticulous, so I would like to ask you for a favor."

"This? The students are afraid that they won't be able to do it. After all, they are just candidates." Su Yizhao said in a difficult way.

"Hey~ It's not too difficult for you."

The fourth prince waved his hand, and continued: "My Highness trusts you, so I won't hide it from you. This time I came to Beiyuan Mansion, I actually received a secret order from my father."

Su Yizhao was a little surprised, and then pretended to be all ears.

"You should have heard about the mines in Fuyan Mountain, right? Lao Wuxing's actions are so high-profile, I am afraid that everyone in the Fucheng family knows about it."

Su Yizhao nodded, "I heard about it before."

"Father ordered His Royal Highness to take full responsibility for this matter, including the mining of the mine and the subsequent smelting. It's a pity that my Highness came down a step late. Now that the situation has been set, it is too late for me to do anything."

"This? You were sent by the emperor, how dare they disobey your order?" Su Yizhao said in disbelief.

"Things in the court are more complicated. Everyone wants to get involved in this iron mine, and the orders of my highness are all obedient. Therefore, it is difficult to act!"

The fourth prince said with a heavy sigh, already a little anxious in his heart.There is not much time left, he has to seize the time to insert his power into it.

"Then what are you going to do?" Su Yizhao asked suspiciously.

The fourth prince actually didn't tell the truth to himself, and said that he had full authority to handle the matter, so where would he put Mr. Zheng?

"That's how it is. Originally, the imperial court sent Mr. Zheng Mingxin, the right servant of the household department, to assist His Highness, but Mr. Zheng relied on his foundation in the Beiyuan Mansion to treat His Highness positively and negatively. It is really difficult."

"I didn't expect Mr. Zheng to be so daring!" Su Yizhao nodded, with a look of indignation on his face, but he wanted to laugh in his heart.

"Well! Therefore, His Highness intends to give him some color. The You family in Fucheng is the in-laws of the offshoot of the Zheng family, and they have always relied on the power of the Zheng family to dominate. I also want to monopolize the mining rights.”

"You's family? No wonder I heard that You's family is very rampant recently. Every day there are guests gathering, and it seems that they all go to the mine." Su Yizhao suddenly realized.

"Hmm! The You family gained power because of Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zheng thought he could overshadow the sky in Beiyuan Mansion? My Highness has been emptied of power by him. How will I explain to my father when I go back? Therefore, my Highness wants you to persuade the Qu family."

"Ah? What does this matter have to do with the Qu family?" Su Yizhao was very puzzled.

"You don't know much about the ancestors of the Qu family. In fact, the ancestors of the Qu family also worked in the Ministry of Industry in the previous dynasty. Their family was good at smelting ore and making weapons. It's just that the Qu family offended the senior officials of the former dynasty and fell into despair. gone."

The fourth prince paid attention to Su Yizhao's expression while talking, and a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes.

"To this day, they have become merchants and even switched to jade trading. However, their family ancestors left a lot of inheritance in this regard. My Highness asked you to find the Qu family to make them work for the court."

Su Yizhao was silent for a long time after hearing this, and at the end he said with embarrassment: "Then why don't you talk to them in person? Doesn't it look more sincere? You also know that I am a child of the Su family, and people may not want to see me!"

"Ah! In fact, the Qu family has already been targeted by many forces. If His Highness finds the Qu family in person, other forces will also wait for the opportunity to mess up this matter. For the sake of the court and the country, the Qu family must attended."

"That's why I want to invite you to be a lobbyist. Don't refuse. If this matter is completed, His Highness will definitely speak a few words of kindness for you in front of the father. You will be an official after you leave the court next year. Here It is still beneficial to you to make meritorious service first."

The fourth prince continued to lobby, but he was actually afraid that if he went, the Qu family would not agree.

Furthermore, he has been targeted by other forces recently, and if he moves, other forces will follow suit.

"This?"

Seeing Su Yizhao's heartbeat, the fourth prince said again: "It's just a try, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work."

"But if we go to negotiate, what conditions will His Highness offer to attract the Qu family?" Su Yizhao was a little worried, but still asked.

"My Highness doesn't believe that the Qu family doesn't want to re-enter office, so how about this condition?" The fourth prince looked at Su Yizhao, his eyes full of confidence.

Su Yizhao was a little ashamed, she just used her mouth to fool Old Master Qu.

In fact, they are all empty talk, but the fourth prince is different.

He is the prince, and many officials in the court support him, so it is not difficult for the Qu family to become an official.

"This? It's not that the students don't want to do things for His Highness, but that if grandfather finds out about this matter, they will inevitably be punished severely, and may even be expelled from the clan." Su Yizhao still hesitated and said.

"As long as the Qu family doesn't tell, how would your grandfather know?"

The fourth prince was already a little impatient, he saw that this kid had courage before, why is he so timid now?

"The student will try his best, and if he fails, please don't blame him, Your Highness." Su Yizhao reluctantly agreed.

Only then did the fourth prince ease his expression, and promised Su Yizhao some benefits that he didn't know whether he could fulfill in the future, which was comparable to Su Yizhao's fooling the old Mrs. Qu just now.

"Then you find a chance to meet Mrs. Qu in the next two days, and let me know at the mansion if you have any news." The fourth prince ordered again.

"So urgent?" Su Yizhao asked in surprise.

"Lest you have long nights and dreams."

As he spoke, he tore off a jade pendant from his body and threw it to Su Yizhao.

"Hold this jade pendant, Mrs. Qu should recognize it."

After Su Yizhao's carriage left, a person came out from the bamboo room.

"Your Highness, do you think this son can be trusted? Will he go?" The man sat down opposite the fourth prince and asked.

If Su Yizhao saw this person here, he would definitely be shocked.

The Fourth Prince sneered, "Of course it's unbelievable, but even if he doesn't go, His Highness will have a way for him to meet Mrs. Qu."

"Then, why do you want him to go to the Qu family as a lobbyist?"

"Of course it's to attract the fifth child." The fourth prince laughed.

"Then the jade pendant you gave?"

"It's just a random piece of paper given to him, and there is no identity information."

As the fourth prince said, he shouted behind him, "Send someone to keep an eye on Su Yizhao for the past few days, if he goes to the Qu Mansion, then report immediately."

Picking up the tea bowl, the Fourth Prince took a sip and felt that it was delicious.

"The Qu family is just a stepping stone." The fourth prince murmured.

Su Yizhao sat in the carriage and recalled what the fourth prince said just now. She raised the jade pendant in her hand and observed it carefully.

The word "Yu" is engraved on it. The fourth prince's name is Qin Yue, and his character is Huai Yu.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yizhao sneered.

Throwing the jade pendant in her hand into the storage space, she closed her eyes and meditated.

Sighing, "It seems that the Qu family is keeping it private."
