Dong Chengqi understood what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and said, "You also know Shen Chen's ability. What others can't find out, he and Lin Sanshao may be able to find out. Therefore, the most urgent thing now is that you have to clean up your own ass first. Think about whether there are any hidden dangers before, and whether Lu Yuanrong has anything that is not under your control. Let's finish these things first."
Jiang Songwen did not hesitate. He thought for a moment and then hummed. Then he asked, "What then? As you said, Shen Chen will not let me go. Even if I kill Shen Chen, I still have the Linjiang Palace. According to what you said, I thought about it. Even if Wei An died, there is still the Third Young Master Lin. What you mean is that I have offended the two people I cannot offend at once? Not to mention the Third Young Master Lin, he may be the future uncle of the emperor..."
He frowned when he said this.
Dong Chengqi knew that he had come to his senses. Seeing that the temperature of the ginseng tea was almost cold, he picked it up and drank it all, saying softly, "You are right. Whether it is the King of Linjiang who finally ascends the throne, or our Sixth Prince who succeeds the throne, it will not be good for our family, for the old man, or for you."
Jiang Songwen's eyes widened.
Previously, Emperor Longqing intended to support the Sixth Prince, and then let Jiang Zining, Young Master Lin and others assist him.
No matter what, Jiang Zining can be regarded as the future imperial tutor. The Sixth Prince is still young and will have to rely on him, so the power of the Jiang family will not be affected.
But considering the current situation, this may not be the case.
He wanted to take action against Wei An, and was discovered by Third Master Lin. Third Master Lin was a natural ally of the Wei family and was deeply in love with Wei An.
If this is the case, then the future uncle of the king is already standing on the opposite side of them.
Then what good can the Jiang family ask for
He was startled, stood up and walked around the room anxiously: "If that's the case, then the Jiang family is desperate, right?"
"Not necessarily." Dong Chengqi smiled leisurely: "If this road is blocked, then let's take another road."
"What other options are there?!" Jiang Songwen immediately retorted: "Whether it's Prince Linjiang or the Sixth Prince who ascends the throne, if that's the case, we have no way to survive. If we had known this, why would we have spent so much effort to deal with Shen Chen? Wouldn't it be better to just wait for death?"
Dong Chengqi shook his head and said, "I told you you're stupid and you're still gasping for breath. You can't do anything, I can't do anything, can it be that the old man can't do anything either? The old man is old and shrewd. If he hadn't seen this, would he have pointed out something to you this time? No matter what, it's always right to ask the old man."
Jiang Songwen inexplicably thought of Chen Qinglai from the previous dynasty, who had also been the prime minister for twenty-three years. However, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was kicked out. In the end, there was no money for his burial after his death. He was hastily wrapped in a mat and thrown somewhere.
Their Jiang family is not as good as Chen Qing now. At least Chen Qing had never offended the new emperor back then. It was just because his power was too great that he got in the way of the new emperor.
Now he has really offended Lin San and Shen Chen.
When he returned to the old house in the evening and the old man finally saw him, he couldn't help but tell the old man about this matter. At the end, looking at Jiang Zining's face, he hesitated and was a little embarrassed: "Old man, please tell me something, I am very uneasy now. I know that Shen Chen should not be offended, but I shouldn't offend him now, but I have offended him anyway..."
Jiang Zining was already very old, but even so, his eyes were rarely cloudy and were still very clear. He glanced at his son and slowly put down the water: "Did Chengqi give you some advice? How could you have thought so far ahead? Only that kid, who can think eight steps ahead before taking one step, can be so cunning."
Jiang Songwen helped him get off the ground, and helped him sit on the couch next to him, then he sat on the footstool and hummed: "I know that I have been too ruthless in these years. I have considered stopping these years, but Shen Chen and the others did not leave me any room..."
Jiang Zining laughed: "Why would they leave you any room? They don't know that it's you who's behind this."
Jiang Songwen was speechless for a while, and he stammered after a while: "Anyway, the feud has already been made. My son has thought about it. Shen Chen and Third Young Master Lin are both bad people. I'm afraid that they will have a hard time in the future and will drag you down."
Jiang Zining chuckled and poked him on the forehead with his hand: "Come on, you only think of your father at this time! You are not thinking about your father's bad luck, you are thinking that if your father is finished, you will be finished too. Don't I know you?"
After he finished speaking, seeing Jiang Songwen was stunned, he sighed and said, "That kid Chengqi is right. Now the hatred has been formed, it is not easy to resolve. If it really doesn't work, then it will be a life-and-death struggle."
Jiang Songwen lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling a little worried: "But the emperor now values Prince Linjiang..."
At worst, there is still the Sixth Prince. Even if the Sixth Prince ascends the throne, the Wei family will still be very popular.
Jiang Zining hummed, and naturally stretched out his feet to let his son take off his shoes, and then said: "Yes, the emperor values Prince Linjiang and summoned Prince Linjiang to the capital. It is very likely that he intends to imitate Renzong and Xiaozong. Even if it fails in the end, the Sixth Prince ascends the throne, and Third Young Master Lin will not let us grow up. No matter how you look at it, it is not good for us."
Jiang Songwen was a little anxious: "What should we do? Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?!"
It’s not that I don’t want to retreat, but once I retreat, it may be like falling into an abyss and I can never get up again.
Jiang Zining stared at his son for a moment, then reached out and patted his face: "Since Prince Linjiang can't go up, and the Sixth Prince is not suitable either, then of course..."
He narrowed his eyes, and his expression became dim and unclear, and even his voice seemed a little unclear.
But Jiang Songwen still heard every word clearly. He clearly heard Jiang Zining say, "If it really doesn't work, then let them all fail."
Jiang Songwen shuddered. It would be fine to prevent Prince Linjiang from ascending to that throne, and just stir up trouble. But to prevent the Sixth Prince from doing that too, what did that mean
He couldn't help but be terrified. He looked at his father and even stuttered: "Dad, you... you don't want to..."
Jiang Zining smiled and patted him on the head: "What are you thinking about?! I mean, besides the King of Linjiang, aren't there other royal family members?! He may not be the only one who can take this position! There are many people who want to take that position." (To be continued)
