The emperor's entrustment of Chu Qing with important tasks was soon known to the family, which was undoubtedly a blow to them. Moreover, Chu Qing also had an unusual relationship with the Gong family, which was extremely dangerous to them. of.
That night after learning that the emperor had entrusted Chu Qing with important tasks, people from the aristocratic family gathered together for a family meeting.
"Why did the emperor suddenly entrust Chu Qing with such a heavy responsibility?"
"have no idea."
"And I heard that Chu Qing has a close relationship with the Gong family. If this happens, our situation will be dangerous."
An old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties stroked his beard and said calmly: "Not only that, the emperor clearly knew about Chu Qing's relationship with the Gong family and entrusted him with important tasks. This makes me have to suspect that the emperor wanted to Get rid of us."
"Get rid of us?"
The people in the room were chattering and discussing. When they heard that the emperor was going to get rid of them, their faces were not only surprised but also horrified.
"Yes." The old man picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then continued: "You think about it, for how many years, our family has been on an equal footing with the Gong family, and the two families have countless grievances. The emperor knows these things in his heart. Yes, but although she knew it, she never interfered. Why? "
"Why?"
The old man smiled and said, "It's because she needs our two families to check and balance each other. Without one family, the other family will become a big problem in her heart."
"Then why does the emperor want to get rid of us now?"
"Of course it's because she thought of a better way." The middle-aged man sitting next to him said suddenly. He looked at the people in the room and said, "Chu Qing has a wise mind and his strength should not be underestimated. In addition, he We have a close relationship with the Gong family. As long as the emperor controls Chu Qing, he will naturally control the Gong family. In this way, our family will no longer be needed."
The middle-aged man's words made others suddenly realize, and they all felt that what he said was reasonable, but they ignored one thing, that is, Chu Qing would not be easily controlled by the emperor.
"If that's the case, what should we do?"
"Of course we can't sit still and wait for death." The middle-aged man said with firm eyes, "We must find a way to destroy the relationship between them."
"How to do it?"
The middle-aged man looked at the young man sitting next to him. The young man nodded with a smile, and then said to the people in the room: "I heard that although Chu Qing has a close relationship with the Gong family, many people in the Gong family do not trust him. Chu Qing, we can start from here."
"You mean... to drive a wedge between them?" someone next to him asked uncertainly.
The young man nodded and said: "Yes, as long as the relationship between Chu Qing and the Gong family breaks down, the emperor will have to reconsider, and the Gong family and Chu Qing will become enemies. This is a huge gain for us. A bad thing."
"Yes, if Chu Qing and the Gong family become enemies, then we can recruit Chu Qing. After all, he is a rare talent."
"Well, and even if he doesn't side with us, then the Gong family will improve his talent, which is a good thing for us." The old man nodded.
"Okay, now that you've decided, let's implement the plan as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares."
"yes."
The old man stroked his beard and suddenly said: "Don't leak this plan to anyone, and don't let Wushuang know. Wushuang is willful and unsafe in doing things. In case she leaks it to Chu Qing, Chu Qing is a smart person." Man, if that happens, the family will be in trouble."
The family meeting of the aristocratic family has ended, and a sinister plot is underway, but Chu Qing and the Gong family are still unaware of the plan.
