Song Xiangyu sighed when he said this. They had thought that their opponents were difficult to deal with before, but after thinking about it, they only focused on those few people. They never thought that even King Zhuang was not the mastermind. Now that Su Yao came to remind him, he panicked even more. He couldn't let out a breath in his chest. He had to spit for a long time and said in an unbearable way: "Seeing this idiotic matter of recognizing ancestors, it has been discussed and argued over and over again, from the Mid-Autumn Festival to now, not only there is no rules, but it is even more distant!"
After saying that, he took a breath of cold air.
Yes, it was going very smoothly, but how come it was delayed until now without any notice
Moreover, it has been discussed throughout the court, but until now almost no one cares about it
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Yao in disbelief, only to see Su Yao holding the cup and smiling calmly.
"Sir, do you not believe that this incident has anything to do with the Xu family?" Su Yao exhaled, and calmly explained the facts to Song Xiangyu: "Facts speak louder than words. Zheng Siyu is a minister of a ministry. How could he fabricate things for no reason and frame Hu Jianbang? Besides, we all know that he has other intentions. Who is going to waste their efforts on Hu Jianbang? The only reason he is useful is because of the word Hu."
Yes, because of the word "Hu".
Song Xiangyu's initial shock gradually disappeared, and he gradually calmed down. After careful consideration, he had to admit that Su Yao's words made a lot of sense.
But even so, he still hesitated and thought for a long time before saying: "County Master, let me think about it again..."
Su Yao was not afraid that Song Xiangyu would think about it more. The purpose of her coming here was just to remind Song Xiangyu. When she heard Song Xiangyu say that, she naturally smiled and said, "Of course, such a big thing cannot be believed based on a few words from a little girl like me. It's good that the prince knows the situation."
Song Xiangyu's expression was a little complicated. It's not that he didn't believe it. In fact, Su Yao was not an ordinary girl. He just couldn't understand many things.
Especially when it was said that Hu Jianbang's matter was related to the Xu family, and that it was the Xu family who was behind the scenes preventing Xiao Heng from clearing his name, he found it difficult to understand.
Why did the Xu family get involved
"The county lady said it very clearly." After Su Yao left, he sat in the study for a long time and went to find Song Che. Seeing that Song Che seemed to be thinking about something, he whispered, "Dad, she came here specially to deliver a letter to us. But I don't understand. For so many years, we have investigated, but we always end up with nothing in the dark..."
Song Che sat in the yellow pear wood carved chair at the top with a cold expression. After Song Xiangyu finished speaking, he frowned and touched his beard: "Yes, who would have thought that there is such a big Buddha behind this. It can be said to be incredible, but it makes sense. If it is really the Xu family, then it makes sense."
It makes sense. For example, how could so many forces be mobilized and so many things be done? If the person behind the scenes was the Xu family, everything would be logical.
But the question is... "Why?" Song Xiangyu asked a question that had been lingering in his mind: "What grudge did the former crown prince have with the Xu family? Why did they need to take such a big risk to do such a treasonous thing?"
"These are not important." Song Che was much more experienced and decisive. He understood clearly and said, "The county lady and Ah Heng have a good personal relationship. She would not say these words without any purpose. It is not just a reminder as she said. How could she say something that she is not sure of?"
In other words, it is absolutely true that the Xu family is targeting Xiao Heng.
Song Xiangyu frowned and remained silent for a long time. After a long while, he said with a little annoyance: "What should we do? We are already in a very passive position now, and it is not easy for us to get involved in Ah Heng's affairs. If the Xu family is the mastermind behind this, they will definitely keep a close eye on us, and we will be even more unable to do anything, otherwise we will hand the handle to them."
Song Xiangyu shuddered at the thought that his every move over the years might have been watched by the Xu family.
"Why are you panicking?" Song Che glanced at him and said, "You are not as calm as a little girl like the county lady. Hasn't the county lady already pointed out a way for us? Xu Ci Fu is indeed a difficult person, but he is not so powerful that he can cover the sky with one hand."
Above the second assistant, there is the first assistant.
It’s not the Xu family’s one-man show.
Song Xiangyu thought his father was going to say something useful, but when he heard what his father said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What you said is complete nonsense..." He was hit on the head by his father mercilessly, and he covered his head and cried out: "Isn't it? Dad knows that our Prime Minister Yang can endure what others can't endure..."
Otherwise, any stronger Prime Minister would not allow the second in command to be so tyrannical.
This guy can almost be called a turtle among the smartest people. If you want to take action against him, you are probably dreaming.
"How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it?" Song Che suddenly laughed, threw the chess piece in his hand onto the table, stood up and said calmly: "The cabinet has been calm for so long, it's time to find something for them to do."
Seeing that his father seemed to have come up with an idea, Song Xiangyu quickly followed behind him: "Dad, what do you mean? What do you want to do?"
The two walked very quickly and went straight to the Beijing camp.
After only thirty miles out of the city, they arrived at the Jingying camp. Because the Tartars in the north invaded from time to time, the Jingying camp trained very hard and had extremely strict defenses. It took Song Che and Song Xiangyu half a day to get into the camp. When they got to the camp, he went straight to his office and summoned his trusted generals, the commander of the left army and the commander of the central army. Without waiting for them to salute, he asked directly, "How is the batch of weapons?"
Speaking of this, the commander of the left army, Wang Lijun, immediately became furious: "It's completely useless! In previous years, at least 50% to 60% of the things distributed were brand new and usable, and the remaining 20% to 30% were old and barely usable. Only 10% was completely unusable. This was also a routine, and there was nothing to say. But this year, what we were given was simply beggars! More than 3,000 sets of armor, all tattered, and there were only a few good ones. More than 3,000 muskets, many of which were rotten and could not be loaded with gunpowder. When I let my soldiers try it, it broke one of my soldier's fingers and almost killed him!"
Wang Lijun choked up as he spoke: "Marshal, look at these conscienceless bastards! We brothers are all disappointed!"
