Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 236: Crazy acting skills
A girl wearing a veil quietly came to the outside of the prince's residence.

He looked around vigilantly and made sure there was no one around before he walked over.

"This girl..."

"The princess?"

"Shh, I ran out secretly, is Master Su here?"

"exist."

Lu Fei nodded and immediately brought Li Xueyan to Su Chen.

Su Chen looked suspiciously at Li Xueyan, who was dressed in an exotic style, "Why is the princess dressed like this?"

"I came to see you."

Li Xueyan took off her veil and whispered, "I just heard from my father that the noble families in Qinghe, Fanyang and other places have secretly joined forces. They have also quietly contacted the Kong family in Henan and want to get rid of you. You are in danger now!"

Qinghe Cui family, Fanyang Lu family?
Su Chen smiled and said, "How do you know?"

Li Xueyan: "I saw them visiting my father, so I hid aside and eavesdropped on them."

Su Chen nodded in understanding.

I'm afraid it's not just a visit, but a test.

After all, there were rumors outside that he and Li Xueyan had an ambiguous and unclear relationship.

In addition, Li Daozon is a prince of the Li family. Whether in terms of bloodline or status in the court, he is worthy of their attention.

It was understandable that they wanted to test Li Daozon's attitude.

"How about we just forget about the Enlightenment Program?"

"No."

Su Chen shook his head.

Now the first phase of the Enlightenment Plan is about to succeed. If all our efforts are wasted at this moment, it will not be easy to seize power from these people in the future.

"why?"

Li Xueyan was puzzled, "Why do you continue if you know they will deal with you because of this?"

Su Chen smiled. This matter had already begun. Even if he wanted to stop, Li Shimin might not be willing to stop.

This is a rare opportunity to weaken the power of these wealthy families, how could he let it go easily?

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Su Chen smiled and comforted him, "Go back early. If your father knew that you came here to tip me off, it would be difficult for him to do his job."

Li Xueyan hesitated: "Really can't stop?"

Su Chen shook his head.

Seeing this, Li Xueyan understood, said something to Su Chen, and left.

Su Chen tapped his folding fan and said, "Lu Fei, go and help me with something."

"Please give me your instructions, Master."

……

"I wonder if Master Kong is at your house today. I hope you won't make another wasted trip."

“It shouldn’t be.”

Kong Shaoxin smiled, looked towards the tall gate, and said, "If my uncle knew that Brother Meng Chang was here, he would be very happy."

Lu Chengsi smiled and nodded, "I hope so."

Kong Shaoxin went forward and greeted the doorman, "I'm Kong Shaoxin, please let them know that someone is coming home."

Upon hearing Kong Shaoxin's words, the doorman did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly invited the two of them into the mansion and went in to report.

"Kong Shaoxin?"

Kong Yingda smiled, stroked his beard and said, "It seems that Baosheng Hou can't sit still anymore, so he sent your uncle here."

Kong Zhixuan frowned and said, "Do we really want to compete with the Li family on this matter?"

Kong Yingda sighed, "Even if he could bear it, they couldn't."

"Shi Xiu surrendered. Even after several months, this kind of infamy is still hard to forget."

"Go and welcome them into the mansion on my behalf, and we'll act accordingly."

"Yes."

Kong Zhixuan nodded, stood up and walked out to greet him.

"My nephew Zhixuan greets my two uncles."

"Ji Xuan."

Kong Shaoxin smiled, looked at Lu Chengsi beside him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that he still remembers what you look like."

Lu Chengsi: "Yes, it's been many years since we last met. Why don't you see Huiyuan when there are three officials in the same family?"

"My son is currently on duty at the Imperial College and is unable to attend to you."

Kong Zhixuan explained, "My two uncles, my father is already waiting in the main hall, please follow me."

Kong Shaoxin and the other followed Kong Zhixuan and walked into the main hall.

"I've met my brother."

Kong Shaoxin and the other two bowed in greeting.

Although Lu Chengsi is not a member of the Kong family, in terms of seniority, they are of the same generation as Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda smiled and nodded, pointing to a chair nearby and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, brother."

Kong Shaoxin and the other man thanked them and took their seats.

Kong Zhixuan ordered someone to serve tea and then stood aside.

Kong Shaoxin smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve, "Brother, before I left, the clan leader told me to deliver this letter to you."

Kong Yingda smiled and nodded, took the letter, and raised his hand to signal: "Please have some tea."

Kong Shaoxin picked up the teacup with a smile, and Kong Yingda immediately opened the letter.

The content of the letter made Kong Yingda raise his eyebrows. He did not expect that Baosheng Hou would make such an arrangement on this matter.

This is already a collaboration with various companies to jointly deal with the Enlightenment Project.

When Kong Yingda put down the letter in his hand, Kong Shaoxin and the other put down their teacups at the same time.

Lu Chengsi was the first to speak: "Brother, the Li family is very aggressive. First, a young boy cursed the Kong family for their surrender, and then proposed an enlightenment plan to dig up the foundation of our family. It seems that they want to force us to death."

"Right now, Cui Junsu and his partner from Boling are on their way to Chang'an City with 500 students. If we don't make preparations, once the enlightenment plan begins, our situation will be worrying."

Kong Yingda sighed, "They are just five hundred little kids. Why should we be afraid of them?"

Kong Shaoxin shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother, although the enlightenment plan is only a part of what they proposed, it allows children of school age to read and learn to read."

"But who knows what their next plan will be?"

"Ever since the Li family took over the world, they have been suppressing us again and again. The last time the Cui family was the best proof!"

"Now, if we allow them to complete the enlightenment program, how can children from noble families like us stand out and become officials in the court?"

Kong Yingda looked at him silently and said slowly, "What is Qinghe's attitude?" Lu Chengsi smiled and said, "Brother Shi, don't worry. Qinghe has already discussed it with us. No matter what happens, they will advance and retreat together with us."

Kong Yingda shook his head and laughed: "Together we advance and retreat?"

"Those 500 students were personally selected by His Majesty to be taught by Cui Junsu and his team. How could an accident happen?"

"Unless Cui Junsu and the others have already prepared themselves for beheading."

Lu Chengsi said calmly: "They dare not!"

"Brother Shi, no matter what the teaching situation is like in Boling, His Majesty would not dare to cause turmoil in the Tang Dynasty at this time."

"At least, before we deal with the Tibetan army in Songzhou, the internal situation of the Tang Dynasty must be stable."

Kong Yingda raised his eyebrows, leaned forward and asked, "Have you contacted Tubo?"

"We just want peace in the world."

Lu Chengsi said so.

However, Kong Yingda understood that the peace in the world that Lu Chengsi talked about was the peace they felt, not the prosperous and peaceful world recognized by other people.

"This matter may have some impact on the Crown Prince, but as long as we are willing to support the Crown Prince, only Su Chen will die in the end!"

Lu Chengsi said with a smile: "A scumbag who relied on the power of the crown prince to stir up trouble in Chang'an City should pay the price for his actions."

Kong Yingda didn't think so: "Don't you know that the prince had quarreled with His Majesty in person because of Su Chen?"

Kong Shaoxin: "Brother, which one do you think is more important, Su Chen or the emperor's throne?"

Lu Chengsi smiled and said, "Yes, I don't think that the prince will fight against us for Su Chen alone and then lose the throne!"

Kong Yingda rubbed his head and felt that this matter was no longer something he could stop.

Since the beginning of the Enlightenment Program, several companies may have quietly joined forces, but they just didn't know it.

Kong Yingda sighed, "If that's the case, why did you come looking for me?"

Kong Shaoxin: "My brother is the Right Prince of the Eastern Palace."

Contact the prince through me?

You are planning to put pressure on the prince through me!
Kong Yingda saw through their thoughts at a glance. If he stepped forward and made this happen, then no matter what the final result was, he would be targeted by the prince.

"what……"

Kong Yingda was yawning, as if he had fallen asleep.

This scene made Kong Shaoxin and the other man look confused. After looking at each other, Kong Shaoxin asked, "Brother?"

Kong Yingda suddenly shuddered and looked at the two of them blankly, "What's wrong?"

"Brother fell asleep just now?"

"No, no, where were we talking about?"

"..."

Kong Shaoxin and the other man looked at each other.

Kong Zhixuan said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, uncles. My father is old and easily dozed off. He always falls asleep inadvertently when chatting with others and forgets what we discussed."

As he spoke, Kong Zhixuan reminded him in a low voice: "Father, my brother just said that you are the right son of the East Palace."

"Yes, I am."

Kong Yingda nodded and said as a matter of course: "Do I need to be reminded of this?"

Kong Zhixuan patted his head, and Kong Shaoxin and the others were stunned.

Forgot everything in the blink of an eye?
Could it be that he is pretending?
at this time.

A servant came in with medicine soup, "Master, it's time to take the medicine."

Kong Zhixuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and waved to the servant, "Give it to me."

"Brother, what is this?"

"Because my father is old, he often forgets things and is sleepy, so I asked someone to prescribe some medicine for him to wake him up. But my father doesn't like to tell others that he is sick."

"That's it."

Kong Shaoxin and the other man looked at each other and it seemed that the illness was not fake.

"No, I'm not sick."

Kong Yingda frowned and pushed away the medicine that Kong Zhixuan handed over, and said in a deep voice: "Who said that I am sick? Take this medicine away quickly!"

"Father, good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease."

"Take it, take it!"

"Father……"

Bang!
The medicine was spilled, and Kong Yingda was furious: "Rebellious son, don't you listen to what I say?"

Kong Zhixuan held the soup spoon helplessly and looked at the soup all over the floor: "Father, why are you doing this?"

Ah this...

Kong Shaoxin and the other two were stunned.

How did it turn out like this?

"Kong Shaoxin, Lu Chengsi, you saw this, this rebellious son actually wants me to take medicine!"

Kong Yingda was furious, pointing at Kong Shaoxin and the other man and said, "Do you still recognize me as your brother? Why don't you stop him?"

Kong Shaoxin and the other man looked at each other and said, "Brother, if you are sick, you should take medicine..."

"roll roll roll!"

"From today on, I no longer have you two younger brothers!"

"Father……"

Seeing this, Kong Zhixuan hurriedly pulled Kong Shaoxin and the other two away, while constantly apologizing to them.

Kong Shaoxin sighed, "Brother is old but still refuses to admit his age, we can understand that."

Lu Chengsi nodded. He was one of the eighteen great scholars and the chief priest of the Imperial Academy...

It suddenly became like this. If it were them, they would find it hard to accept.

"Thank you for your understanding, uncles."

Kong Zhixuan bowed deeply and said, "Please don't tell anyone about what happened today, please don't tell anyone else!"

"understand!"

After seeing off Lu Chengsi and the other two, Kong Zhixuan turned around and came to Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda drank his tea calmly, "Did they send him away?"

"Already sent away."

"If anyone outside asks me about my affairs, you can say that I am sick and have been talking nonsense because I haven't taken medicine."

"Father doesn't want to get involved in this matter?"

"That's right, you should pay attention to Huiyuan and don't let him get involved!"

"My child obeys!"
