... After Wei Changying listened to Shen Die's explanation, and then explained Shen Zangfeng's request in detail, he nodded solemnly and said: "I understand what your husband means. Now we need to make a quick decision, and we must let Third Uncle My cousin Tongwu made up his mind early, right?"
Shen Die said: "Madam is absolutely right. Madam is in another courtyard now and is usually busy with housework. I don't think she knows that in the past few days, the number of conflicts between the Qingzhou Army and our Xiliang Army has increased several times. Master It was too late to deal with it, and most of these conflicts were instigated by the Qingzhou Army. They kept saying that our Shen family intended to intervene in the Su family's feud and murdered the Fourth Young Master Su... If this goes on, things will easily get into trouble. It’s out of control. It won’t do anyone any good at that point.”
"Go back and tell your husband that I will go to the Song family's annex to find Cousin Song." Su Xiuwei and his son are now living in the camp because there is no suitable house in the imperial capital and they want to compete with Su Xiu Ming for power. It was inconvenient for Song Zaishui to enter the military camp, so he simply put his thoughts on his parents' family, but now he lives in the Song family's villa. Wei Changying knew the seriousness of the matter and did not elaborate. He nodded and let Shen Die go down.
After he left, the guard chief Ying straightened his clothes - he had nothing to change because he was in mourning - ordered a few maids and servants, ordered a soft sedan and went out.
There was a certain distance between the Shen family's villa and the Song family's villa, which allowed her to sort out what she was going to say after seeing Song Zaishui in the sedan chair... In fact, there was nothing to reason about, because the Shen family and the Su family were fighting for Su Yu. If the war started because Liang might have been murdered by the Shen family, it would almost be said to be detrimental to everyone in the family.
Even Su Xiu Ming.
A dead person cannot be resurrected. Even if he killed the Xiliang army to pieces and Su Yuliang was already dead, he would have damaged the Qingzhou army and caused damage to the Su family. Wouldn't it be up to him to bear this responsibility then? Wouldn’t the entire Su family bear the consequences of the damage to the Su family’s power
The relationship between Song Zaishui and Su Xiu Ming came only through her husband Su Yuwu. She is also a knowledgeable and intelligent person.
Wei Changying felt that he could explain it clearly to her in just a few words.
Sure enough, after arriving at the Song family's courtyard, Song Zaishui welcomed her into the hall. After the two of them dismissed the servants, Song Zaishui said first, "Is it to persuade my father-in-law and Yu Wu to cut it off and not to delay the Su family's future? "
"My cousin is really smart." Wei Changying came out in a hurry. He didn't bring any tea on the sedan chair. He was a little thirsty. He picked up the tea, blew it on, took a sip, and said, "How come my cousin has already told my third uncle and my fifth cousin like this?" Have you given any advice?"
Song Zaishui sighed and said: "Of course I said it a long time ago - because the eldest brother had already promised in front of his grandfather that he would not fight for the position of the lord of the clan again, and was also willing to assist our third room, but my grandfather's body was still cold. They just broke their promise! I can't trust them! Who knows if they won't be relieved after they have secured their position as the leader, and they will just have to die to feel at ease. I don't want to risk my life on others? Merciful courage!"
Wei Changying was not in the game, and Song Zaishui was worried about this level of worry that she had not considered before. Hearing this was surprising at this moment, he was startled for a moment and then asked: "Then from my cousin's tone, it seems that things are not going well? Could it be that the third uncle and the fifth cousin are not willing?"
"Of course not." Song Zaishui said worriedly, "My father-in-law and Yu Wu are both sensible people, so why can't they see that Dafang is untrustworthy? The problem is that Dafang is now as guarded as an iron bucket. Originally, my father-in-law and the others were powerful in the army. It's not as good as Dafang... Even if he wants to take action, he can't do it! But he accidentally gave Dafang a reason! "
Wei Changying frowned for a moment and said, "Is there really nothing you can do?"
Although Shen Zangfeng has made it clear that he supports Su Xiuwei to replace Su Xiu Ming, this does not mean that he will directly send an army to help Su Xiuwei force her way to power - then why support Su Xiuwei? Anyway, we started fighting directly!
To prevent Shen and Su from starting a war, Su Xiu Ming must step down, but the only one who can let Su Xiu Ming step down is the Su family. It must not be the Shen family! Shen Zangfeng could take action in private, but he was determined not to let any clues slip.
In this case, Shen Zangfeng's help to Su Xiuwei's house is also very limited.
Now Su Xiuwei and his son have no way to deal with Su Xiu Ming, and Shen Zangfeng is also helpless.
Wei Changying couldn't help but feel troubled.
Song Zaishui smiled bitterly and patted the back of her hand, and said: "If there is a way, I will go to the imperial capital to cry in fear, don't you think?" She also wished that Su Xiu Ming died early. Who would be happy with a bright future? Is it possible that the elders in power have secretly plotted against him
The two cousins looked at each other for a while, sighing.
After a while, Wei Changying muttered: "Xin Miao has a pair of bracelets there..."
"You said before that a fine jade bracelet is a good thing. Nowadays, whoever is not wearing a mourning belt dares to bring this thing out, don't you think about it?" Song Zaishui shook his head.
"I know, but maybe she has something else? It's been so many years."
Song Zaishui sighed: "No matter how colorless, odorless and traceless the medicine is, what's the use if it can't be used on people? Let me tell you, since the last time he met Yao Ye, he used the excuse of the pain of losing his son to not see the guests. He locked himself up in the camp and never showed up. Even the official document was reviewed by his deputy. He only spoke orally and spoke from a distance... It's useless even if you tamper with the official document!"
Since she mentioned tampering with official documents, it can be seen that both she and the entire third house have worked hard to think about this matter before. However, Su Xiu Ming took extremely strict precautions and was able to find no chance at all.
"That's not necessarily true, is it?" Wei Changying said suspiciously, "Even if you don't see anyone other than the personal guards in the camp every day, you think, food must be sent in. There are also a lot of chronic poisons in Xinmiao's place. … And Divine Doctor Ji is here now, so how can we be completely helpless?”
Song Zaishui narrowed his eyes and said: "Shenji Ji... let's just pay it off. But where is Miss Duanmuba? It's not that I doubt her, but such a big thing is different from the little abacus in the backyard. Especially now that Jinxiu Hall is in decline. Very, can she help the family? I don’t want to deal with a serious problem and then fall into someone else’s hands!”
Although he felt that Duanmu Xinmiao was not such a person, since Song Zaishui expressed his distrust of her, Wei Changying no longer argued - in the final analysis, it was Song Zaishui who hired people, not himself. Of course, Song Zaishui's opinion must prevail.
"Then I'll go back and ask Divine Doctor Ji?"
"Don't ask first, because it's hard to do anything about eating. The people in the big room are very tight now. Not even a fly is allowed to come near!" Song Zaishui still shook his head and sighed, "You come here today, there is something. I just want to ask you about it, Wei Xinyong... is there any news about your sixth uncle now? "
Wei Changying frowned and said, "If he has any news, I will tell my cousin first as soon as I get here!"
There was clear disappointment in Song Zaishui's eyes, and he said: "Is there no news? But I hope he has good luck and good luck, and nothing will happen to him."
"I also hope that Uncle Six will do well..." Wei Changying said with a wry smile, "Speaking of it, Uncle Six of mine has a really hard life. Why can't I live a stable life?"
"If he is gone, there will be no chance to know the reason why my father and eldest brother die in silence." Song said with a trace of resentment on the water, "For this reason, I also hope that the one in the eldest room will come soon." Don’t worry if you die!”
Wei Changying sighed: "If there is any news, I will definitely tell you first... You should also take it easy and don't get too angry. It's not good for your health. Now that the Song family and the Su family are pointing at you, you really need to take care of yourself." Body."
"I know." Song Zaishui calmed his breathing and said, "That's what I said..."
Now that we get down to business, there’s nothing more to talk about, because either that’s all we know, or we don’t have any good ideas. The two sisters talked about common things again, and asked each other for some tips on housekeeping and management. Now they both bear the responsibility of presiding over the overall situation, and their free time is limited. Seeing that the time is about the same, Wei Changying takes his leave.
Returning to the Shen family's annex, Guard Chief Ying found a trustworthy guard and told Shen Zangfeng the difficulties he had discussed with Song Zaishui regarding the Shen family's decision to support Su Xiuwei.
Imperial capital.
After receiving the message from his wife, Shen Zangfeng dispatched the messenger and asked Shen Die to invite Shangguan Shiyi and his brother-in-law Wei Changfeng, who was temporarily living in the city, over for discussion.
After learning that Su Xiuwei and his son had already taken action, but could not find an opportunity, Shangguan Shiyi frowned and said, "Is this why Duke Kang was on guard? But they were also a little more reckless, and they were not fully prepared. Take action when you're sure. This kind of thing is all about hitting the target, so how can you act hastily?"
"Kang Guo Gong is not an idle person." Shen Zangfeng explained on behalf of his third uncle. "In terms of talent, Kang Guo Gong is definitely not weaker than third uncle, especially now that most of the military power is in his hands. Third uncle and fifth cousin are at a disadvantage. , I’m actually not surprised. I just didn’t expect such a thing to happen to my fourth cousin.”
Shen Zangfeng felt a little sad when he said these words. He was very far-sighted. In the early years, when both the government and the public were still in a state of intoxication, they anticipated that they would encounter troubled times, and they were prepared to make great achievements in this troubled times.
After pacifying Qiudi, he thought that the biggest obstacle to taking control of the Central Plains had been resolved.
With the strength of the Xiliang army, even if he cannot monopolize the world, he should be able to tear the earth apart and become king.
But who would have thought that when the Wei Dynasty was about to decline, and before he had exhausted his last bit of power, he would first suffer the pain of the death of his parents. Not only did his uncle and eldest brother who supported him wholeheartedly also suffered misfortune, but his younger brothers and brothers also suffered misfortune. Not many nephews survived.
There was even a time when he thought his wife and second son were...
Carrying such heart-wrenching grief, Shen Zangfeng struggled to survive until today. Before he could fully decide on the next step, the Su Yuliang incident happened again.
He has always been calm and composed, and he was not confused at this moment, but a thought suddenly emerged in his heart: "Is it possible that this great cause in the world has such a small relationship with me, that every critical moment, accidents always come to intrude, preventing me from succeeding?"
With a secret sigh, Shen Zangfeng put down the ambition he had been brewing for the time being - no matter whether he competes in the Central Plains in the future, in short, the Xiliang Army and the Qingzhou Army will not fight if they can. The most important thing right now is this one, bar none.
"It's because Duke Kang holds the power of the Qingzhou Army, and now he suspects us of harming the Fourth Young Master Su, so we can't do anything that might leave us with evidence." Shangguan Shiyi shook his head and said, "It must be the mastermind of the fight within the Su family. Only if Duke Kang is forced to step down!"
Shen Zangfeng pondered: "What can we do?"
Shangguan Shiyi glanced at Wei Changfeng and said lightly: "Now Duke Kang is on tight guard... but is the family of Su Ruoqian, the only remaining eldest son of Duke Kang, also so tight?" (To be continued)
