The dark-bellied prime minister's cute wife

Chapter 374 The so-called art of checks and balances
Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Master, don't worry, this old slave has an idea in his heart."

At this moment, Tang Guogong has already been suffocated by his daughter's ignorance, how can he think of any way at this time?Hearing the words of the old housekeeper in front of him now, his eyes lit up and he asked, "What's your idea?"

The old housekeeper stroked his white beard and said: "Master! If you were assassinated by the emperor, who do you think the eldest lady will protect?"

Assassinated?

Hearing this, Tang Guogong was stunned, he didn't react for a while, looked at the person in front of him, and then asked, "What do you mean?" What does Yanran's decision to help have anything to do with her being assassinated by the emperor?
Seeing the person in front of him looking at him in confusion, the old housekeeper said: "Master, you are so smart that you have been confused for a while. Think about why the eldest lady was able to sit in the queen's position so easily? Isn't it because of the Tang family? Is it an unmatched position in the court? If something happens to you, master, and the prosperity of the Tang family cannot be preserved, can the eldest lady still sit firmly in that position?"

After saying this, he seemed to feel that the person in front of him was still hesitating, and the old butler continued: "My lord, you and I both know that since the child in Concubine Jiang's womb was killed by the eldest lady last time, the eldest lady has directly become out of favor. If it weren't for the sudden pregnancy at this time, the eldest lady would have been thrown into the cold palace by the emperor. At this moment, the eldest lady was dazzled by the emperor's favor and made a reconciliation Master, you are doing the right thing, but we can't just watch the young lady go on this road of no return, if we can let the young lady see the cruel side of the emperor in advance, wouldn't it be helping her?"

It was a good thing that the old butler in front of him misunderstood what was supposed to be a frame-up.

Before that, Tang Guogong didn't know the plan of the person in front of him. After being brainwashed like this, he suddenly understood that the old butler was using psychological tactics.

That child Yanran had a certain friendship with the emperor and she couldn't let her go. Although she felt uncomfortable being punished by the emperor before, she never thought of hurting the emperor. Now that she is favored by the emperor, she loves her deeply. That's the emperor, that's why he violated the agreement with himself.

If she can pretend to be assassinated and let her know that the emperor will never let the Tang family go, then she will definitely feel cold in her heart, and even feel that the emperor will never let her go, then she will be forced to die The chosen path can only be cooperated with oneself.

Thinking of this, Tang Guogong quickly laughed, and looked at the person in front of him: "It's really unexpected that you can come up with such a brilliant idea."

Hearing this, the old steward said: "This old servant is all for the good of the master and for the good of the Tang family. We will not be able to secure our position. If we keep procrastinating like this, we will wait until the emperor has enough power to oppose us." If so, then it will be time for our Tang family to be uprooted, so we must hurry before that time..." Speaking of which, the old butler directly wiped his neck.

"You, haha." Tang Guogong glanced at him before he laughed.After laughing for a while, he stopped laughing, looked at him seriously, and said, "It's not too late, if this is the case, let the assassin come tonight."

The old butler nodded and agreed.

In Shenshi, Su Yunbo quietly entered the palace under the emperor's secret order.

In the imperial study room, Long Scrophulariae sat on the chair and saw the man in front of him and quickly told him to get up.

After getting up, Su Yunbo stood back and stood aside, wondering what the emperor's plan was for suddenly calling him into the palace?I thought about the last time for a long time. I really believed the emperor's words at first, but after Yan Ke reminded me, I realized that the emperor was actually testing himself and Yan Ke, because the emperor had already become suspicious about Dong Zhou. , it was Yan Ke who helped him, so the reason why he asked himself to go back to the mansion last time to take a good rest was naturally to stabilize the courtiers, but the biggest reason was to let himself reflect behind closed doors.

It wasn't until a few days after returning to the mansion that I realized what he was thinking, so I lived a life isolated from the outside world for a period of time without leaving the gate of the mansion.

Long Xuanshen's deep eyes stared at the man in front of him for a long time, then suddenly said: "Su Aiqing's body must be much better already?"

Hearing such words, Su Yunbo was stunned. The emperor should have secretly edicted himself because he hoped that he would return to court. Why did he suddenly ask himself such words?I really didn't know what was going on in his heart, so he glanced at him and said: "The body has recovered, and I always think about returning to the court and continuing to serve the emperor."

As if what he was waiting for was his words, Long Scrophulariaceae suddenly laughed and said: "Okay! Su Aiqing is really patriotic. In this case, I am not the kind of unreasonable person. Now that Su Aiqing has recovered from her injuries, Then come to court tomorrow."

"Yes!" Hearing such words, Su Yunbo's face remained calm, but he was a little puzzled in his heart. What does the emperor mean today?If it is really that simple, if you are going to let yourself go to court tomorrow, you can just find a little eunuch to talk about it, why would you let yourself sneak into the palace?What exactly is going on?

Just as she was wondering, she saw the dragon Scrophulariaceae suddenly said: "Su Aiqing must have known something about the empress and Tang Guogong after entering the palace."

It turned out that it was because of this incident... Finally, he got to the point, and looked at him with a humble look: "Go back to the emperor! The minister knows."

Seeing him like this, Long Scrophulariaceae stood up from the chair, came to him and said, "Su Aiqing, there is no outsider here at the moment, and I will not hide it from you anymore. I can often let you check and balance that Tang Guogong." .”

Speaking of which, Long Xuanshen took a few steps forward, sighed, and then continued: "Before, I sentenced Tang Guogong to confinement for one month because of the crime. Although it is not a big punishment, it is still a punishment for him. A lesson, but seeing that the one-month confinement time is coming soon, Tang Guogong will return to the court again. I, I don’t want him to continue to appear arrogantly and domineeringly like that before, so I hope you can go to the court Kill his vigor!"

What Long Scrophulariae said was very domineering, as if he was not discussing with the person in front of him, but directly giving an order.Su Yunbo had to accept it.

"Yes!" Su Yunbo nodded quickly, but didn't ask much.

But I was a little puzzled in my heart. After all, it was not a day or two for the Tang family to be domineering in the court hall. Why didn't the emperor say it before, but now he was preparing to attack the Tang family?What was it that made him decide to do this?

Seeing his appearance, Long Xuan didn't ask any more questions and felt a little strange, so he smiled and asked: "Why? Why don't you ask me why I want to attack the Tang family?
Su Yunbo glanced at him, and then said: "The emperor naturally has his own reasons for doing things. As a subject, as long as he can help the emperor to share your worries, it is enough. Why do you need to ask more questions?"

Seeing his sudden speech, that Dragon Scrophulariace suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha."

After laughing for a while, he stared at him for a long time: "Why do you talk like this in just over a month? It makes me feel a bit unlike you."

Hearing what he said, Su Yunbo lowered his head even more. In fact, he also heard what Yan Ke said before. Although this Dragon Scrophulariaceae is very young and speaks with a gentle appearance, in fact, his scheming is the most serious Yes, otherwise, he would not have taken the heads of many officials without knowing it.

I didn't know it before, but after what happened with Mr. Zhou, I knew it. In fact, the young emperor didn't say anything, but he seemed like a bright mirror in his heart.

Looking at his vigilant look, Long Xuan mistakenly thought that he was afraid that he would attack him one day. It would be bad for such a person to think that he is a tyrant with a changeable personality.

So he raised his eyebrows and said: "The Tang family has always been arrogant and domineering in the court, even bringing Tang Yanran in the harem has insulted Concubine Jiang a lot. Now they don't take me seriously. Now Tang Yan Ran is already pregnant, if the baby is really a dragon son, what do you think they will do according to the Tang family's ambitions?"

Su Yunbo was taken aback when he heard such words, no wonder the emperor was ready to take action against the Tang family. If the child was really born, the Tang family would really want to be the emperor themselves.After all, their ambition has never been as simple as just being a courtier,

Glancing at Long Xuanshen, Su Yunbo's eyes were full of vigilance: "I know, the Tang family must not continue to be so arrogant! Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Long Xuanshen nodded when he heard such words, walked over and patted him on the shoulder before saying: "I said this to you, but I just don't want you to be a tyrant who doesn't know right from wrong. After all Convincing talents with virtue can govern the world, but if they allow themselves to be bullied too much, the emperor will become a disaster for the people." If you really keep giving in like this and don't make a move, then wait until the Tang family makes a move Isn't it just that the world is in chaos, and isn't it a disaster for the people at that time?
Su Yunbo glanced at the hand on his shoulder, without saying a word, he only said in his heart: This young emperor is also a talent, and it is fortunate that he did not do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise, the end of the Tang family will be different. Be your own future ending.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Long Xuanshen waved his hand to let him go down.

After Su Yunbo withdrew, he left the palace and got off the carriage but walked towards the market.
