Song Xiangyu frowned in confusion when he heard this, and couldn't help but shout to his father in disapproval: "Don't talk about this now. It's not easy to find the Xu family now. Anyway, there will always be some quiet days for us, right?"
If we bring these up again now, there will be no end to it.
Song Xiangyu has always been an optimistic person. In his opinion, even if the sky falls, it can be used as a blanket. Xiao Heng has followed him for so many years, and he can't say how much he has learned from him, but he has the same optimistic attitude.
In Xiao Heng's opinion, no matter how big the problem is, it can be solved anyway.
Others felt tired, but he didn't feel that at all. Instead, he felt that it was a kind of endless fun to fight against the heavens and others, because this is what he had learned since elementary school.
Besides, he has been fighting in the military camp with Song Xiangyu since he was a child. He has killed enemies and defended city walls when he was young. He has regarded these as a normal thing.
Therefore, before Song Che could scold Song Xiangyu, he had already laughed: "I understand what my grandfather and father said, but what my father said was not wrong. Now is not the time for the Xu family to be rampant. Once Xu Shun falls, the people who depend on them will be too busy to take care of themselves. Even if we want to gather these forces, we have to spend a lot of mind and energy. This cannot be done in a short time. If the Fenyang Palace is really still involved, they will not do anything to attract the attention of me and the court now."
This period of time is actually the most relaxing time.
Of course, this only applies to the people on his side.
There was a dead atmosphere in the Fenyang Palace. Princess Fenyang was sitting at the table in the study. She felt a headache from the smoke from a pot of wintersweet beside her. She could not help but close the account book with a bang.
Mr. Cui was standing aside. When he heard the noise, he looked towards her and said softly, "Princess, if you are tired of reading, just take a break. You can't finish reading it in a short time, so it's okay."
Princess Fenyang was exhausted. She had a headache looking at these account books. When she heard what Mr. Cui said, she gritted her teeth and shook her head, "Why is it not a big deal? Xu Shun made a mistake, and now many people are suffering behind him? The southeast is very angry. If we don't sort out the account books quickly and then respond, we will kill those who should be killed and give money to those who should be bribed. We don't know what will happen in the future. The Xu family will die because of the two words "collaboration with the Japanese"!"
Speaking of this, Princess Fenyang was very annoyed: "Qi Yunxi, that good-looking but useless guy, is obsessed with getting on the wrong side of that evil star, and now it's backfiring on himself..."
If I hadn't kept competing with Su Yao, things might not have been so bad.
Mr. Cui also knew how much pressure Princess Fenyang had been under recently. He let her complain for a while, and when she calmed down a little, he took over the conversation and said, "Don't be too angry. Qi Yunxi is a petty person. She used to stand in the middle. Even when the prince was here, she controlled the passage between us and there. We couldn't contact them at all, let alone directly. But it's different now. Qi Yunxi, the middleman, is finished, and Xu Ci Fu, who can now support him, is also finished... Princess, to be honest, it's our turn now!"
Princess Fenyang was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly raised her head and looked at Mr. Cui. Seeing that Mr. Cui was smiling and looked calm, she quickly understood what Mr. Cui meant.
Yes, Qi Yunxi kept the news from that place secret in the past, and their Fenyang Palace just got a piece of the pie. As for more benefits, what are they talking about
But now it’s different. Qi Yunxi is finished, Xu Shun is finished too. Aren’t they the only ones the court can rely on now
She stroked the account book in her hand with a worried look on her face, and then she pursed her lips and sighed: "Although that's what she said, Xu Shun is the deputy assistant after all. If he was here, how much trouble could he have saved? Now that Yang Bo is in charge..."
"Who said that Yang Bo must be the first minister of the cabinet?" Mr. Cui stroked his beard and reminded her: "Princess, you forgot that Sun Yongning has also been squeezed out of the cabinet. The only ones left in the cabinet are Yang Bo and Gao Ping. But won't the cabinet be filled?"
Of course it needs to be supplemented, otherwise how can we get things done
Princess Fenyang's eyes lit up, and she understood what Mr. Cui meant. She immediately perked up and took a deep breath: "Fortunately, Mr. Cui is here, otherwise I would be blinded by one leaf. Mr. Cui is right. Now, although it is a challenge, it is also an opportunity. As long as we can seize the opportunity, we will replace Qi Yunxi in the future. No, not just Qi Yunxi!"
There is even Xu Shun.
Seeing that she finally reacted, Mr. Cui stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "It's good that the princess can understand. Now, it's time for us to take action. Now that Xu Shun is finished, the Xu Party in the court has lost its backbone. If someone can stand up and clean up the mess and suppress the Xu family's mess, then wouldn't it be the right time?"
"I will write a letter to my father immediately." Princess Fenyang reacted and made a quick decision. She added, "After so many years, it's time for my uncle to come out of retirement."
Princess Fenyang was born into a prominent family. Her grandfather was once the Prime Minister. His uncle, Cui Yuandao, was a great scholar who was granted official positions by the imperial court several times.
It's just that Cui Yuandao has always kept a low profile, and because the late emperor respected him so much in the past, he refused to come out of seclusion.
But now is the time.
Princess Fenyang suppressed her excitement and quickly finished the letter. She read it carefully several times before handing it to Mr. Cui. "This is a matter of great importance. I don't trust anyone else. I would like to trouble you to make this trip for me. Please tell my father and uncle in detail what happened in the capital. I will be waiting in the capital to celebrate your success."
Mr. Cui stood up with a smile. Just as he took the letter, the door slammed open and Princess Chun'an rushed in rashly.
Princess Fenyang immediately frowned and shouted in displeasure: "Why are you so flustered? What's the matter that made you barge in without even waiting for your permission?"
Princess Fenyang was now speaking more harshly to her daughter. Princess Chun'an pursed her lips with a face full of grievance. She endured it again and again, and then asked Princess Fenyang with a sullen face: "When will you let me go out?"
The mother and daughter were clearly trying to show off. Mr. Cui coughed and, not wanting to stay any longer and attract the cold shoulder, he hurriedly bowed to Princess Fenyang and said goodbye.
Princess Fenyang softened her expression and said a few words of encouragement to Mr. Cui. After Mr. Cui left, she looked at Princess Chun'an with all her patience: "What are you going to do when you go out? I told you to stay at home, but why do you always want to go out?" (To be continued)
