Wei Lan felt warm in her heart when she heard his words. She is clear about the situation outside, and she even contributes to it inside. There is no one in the Ministry of Justice for the prince. The only person who can be considered a prince is Lin Xun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, but he is actually a neutral faction. Although Lin Che was the prince's companion, Lin Xun had always been a standard royalist and never participated in the prince's party disputes.
She had already expected that Su Cheng would take action to clear the prince's people, and secretly gave Xie Zichen a list. After Su Cheng cleared the crown prince's people, Xie Zichen worked and asked these people to fill the vacant seats. Suddenly, the relationship between the prince and Su Cheng In this struggle, the biggest winners are actually Xie Zichen and Wei Lan.
The two of them were together before, but they were actually very secretive. Including Xie Zichen's visit to Changxinhou's Mansion, they first went back to his own home and then climbed over the wall. The two of them just walked together, and let the dark guards always observe the surroundings. Yes, so the court only knew that the relationship between the two was good, but never knew how good it was.
Now that the two sides are fighting fiercely, Xie Zichen naturally doesn't go to Wei Lan's place frequently. When he came suddenly today, Wei Lan suddenly realized that she still misses this person very much these days.
Wei Lan took him back to the house, and said slowly: "Huan Heng has already sent me a reply, if something happens to Shengjing, he can stand by the crown prince, but he has a request, after the crown prince ascends the throne, in the future Hua Half of the state's tax revenue will be handed over to him."
"Does he know what he's talking about?" Xie Zichen frowned: "He is already a strong soldier, Huazhou is a rich land, and ordinary taxes are given to him. Does he want to establish himself as a king?"
"It doesn't matter what he thinks. The important thing is that you just think about whether Su Cheng is willing. If Su Cheng is willing, why is the prince not willing?"
Su Cheng doesn't care about the hidden dangers in the future, he only thinks about how to get rid of the crown prince first. Once there is a head-on conflict with the prince, the comparison between the two sides is who has the strongest military.
Speaking of this, Wei Lan suddenly thought of someone: "Wang Ning seems to be doing well in the southern border?"
"He is already a great general on the southern front." Xie Zichen helped her to sit on a chair. She was almost healed from her injuries, but her whole body was terribly weak and her hands and feet were cold. Xie Zichen saw that she was not in a good mood, so he helped her all the way Looking at her, Wei Lan didn't hold back. After Wei Hua left, she didn't know why, but she felt that what Lin Xia said probably made some sense. The world doesn't need her to be so strong. In a sense, her strength may still deprive men of this world of certain rights, so that if she lives unhappy, others will also be unhappy.
She is trying to accept the laws of this world little by little, and wants to find a set of laws that will allow her and everyone around her to live a better life.
After she knelt down, Xie Zichen also sat opposite him. Continuing on the topic just now: "Ah Ning is a talented general. There were no leaders at the southern border. After he went, he won many battles. I also helped him in the future. Now he is stable in the south. Although it is not as good as Huan Heng's 700,000 troops, but there are also 200,000 troops, and Ah Ning is different from Huan Heng, Huan Heng has not yet completely stabilized the north, but Ah Ning has already established a firm foothold in the south."
"If I hadn't written to Huan Heng, you would have made plans to ask Wang Ning to help, right?" Wei Lan understood what he meant and couldn't help laughing. Xie Zichen lifted the boiling water from the small stove, and said expressionlessly, "Alan, Huanheng is a thorn in my heart. I don't like any connection between you and him."
Wei Lan was slightly taken aback, unable to say anything for a while, and finally said after a long time: "But Zichen, the north is my foundation."
Xie Zichen has used it for so many years, Wang Ning has been deployed in the army, minions have been scattered in the court, and Huan Heng's relationship with Wei Lan has been her management for many years. If it wasn't for that sudden relationship, the North would have been Wei Lan's biggest hole card. Although Wei Lan has many arrangements in the court, but without military power, everything is empty talk. She has lived and died in the north for many years, and the north is her real foundation.
Xie Zichen understood what she meant. This kind of thing is not easy for anyone. Between her and Huan Heng, before he was fledgling, there was an unbroken connection forever. The only way to completely separate the two of them is for Wei Lan's biggest hole card to become him.
Xie Zichen's eyes darkened, his expression remained calm, he poured boiling water into the tea, and said slowly: "I asked Xu Fu to stop the medicine for His Majesty, and His Majesty will be in poor health in a few days. I will use this as a reason to advise the Crown Prince. Let him force Su Cheng to show his cards as soon as possible."
"What do you think is Su Cheng's trump card?"
Wei Lan was a little curious. Since she knew that Xie Zichen had a previous life, she naturally knew that Xie Zichen knew everything about it.
Xie Zichen knocked on the table, and said slowly: "In the previous life, Wang Xi died early, and Lin Che surrendered to Su Cheng early. Su Cheng is good at placing hidden stakes. Most of the princes are surrounded by people from Su Cheng. It is only natural to frame the prince in the end. Now I almost pulled out everyone in Su Cheng, but Lin Che..."
Xie Zichen frowned, Wei Lan thought about it, and felt a little strange: "You said that since Lin Xun is an imperial party and has no involvement in party politics, why did he send his son to be the prince's companion?"
"In her previous life, Lin Che took refuge in Su Cheng because Lin Che's younger sister married Su Cheng, but in this life... this didn't happen."
The matter of Lin Che's sister marrying Su Cheng was planned by Xie Zichen back then. In order to give her sister happiness, Lin Che chose to betray the prince. Now that there is no such thing, with the relationship between Lin Che and them, it is impossible to do such a thing.
However, Xie Zichen was suspicious, so he said, "It's better to let people watch Lin Che more, so that no troubles can occur at critical moments."
Wei Lan nodded, and discussed with Xie Zichen again. Seeing that she was tired, Xie Zichen withdrew.
A few days later, seeing that the time was ripe, Wei Lan announced Wei Hua's death to the public. She had been spreading the news since the day Wei Hua left Changxinhou's Mansion, saying that Wei Hua was seriously ill. After being "sick" for so many days, it was time. When the news of his death was announced, no one paid attention. Coupled with the tense situation on all sides, the old friends couldn't even come.
Only Xie Zichen came to Changxinhou's mansion that day. He came quietly. Changxinhou's mansion was covered with white flowers. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the man standing in the courtyard in white clothes, with a white bouquet on his head. Belt tied, quietly watching the moon.
"Alan..." Xie Zichen hesitantly said, Wei Lan had already noticed him coming, heard his voice, and turned around.
"You're here." She smiled bitterly. Xie Zichen knew that she was someone who wanted to keep everything in his heart, so he walked up and took her into his arms without saying anything.
"I'm here." He seemed to be more sad than her, and said, "You...don't be sad."
"I'm not sad." Wei Lan said flatly, as if she really saw it very openly: "You said that in her previous life, she died at the age of seven, and her son died early, and the Changxinhou Mansion fell early. In this life, I am here , has changed their fate a lot.”
Xie Zichen didn't speak, he heard exhaustion from her words, hugged her and didn't speak. Wei Lan leaned against his chest, he was really tall, she was not short compared to other men, but her forehead could only just reach his chin in front of him.
He supported her, making her feel extremely reliable, she couldn't help but close her eyes, and said hoarsely: "You lean on me for a while, just for a while."
She is only weak for a quarter of an hour, and then she will stand up again, and she will be that all-powerful Wei Lan again.
She originally thought that Wei Hua just left. However, when she placed the altar and Lin Xia knelt in front of the mourning hall without saying a word, she understood.
Wei Hua is gone, and in this life, Wei Hua from Changxinhou's Mansion will not come back. When he comes back again, he will no longer be able to address her as Wei and call her a younger sister.
She selfishly ruined the glory and future that this man deserved. Even though he never blamed her, she couldn't help but blame herself.
Lin Xia was still kneeling in the mourning hall in front of him, showing it to those who came. Her face was expressionless, her eyes were red and swollen. Anyone who saw her would think that this young couple had a deep relationship.
But Wei Lan knew that Lin Xia's tears were for her to see. Lin Xia is not a person who likes to confront people head-on, she is using this method to seek some justice for the one she loves.
But Wei Lan can't give her this justice, she can't retreat now, and Wei Hua can't come back. Even if she dared to give Wei Hua the position of the eldest son of the Changxinhou Mansion, how could Wei Hua dare to take it
Wei Lan leaned on Xie Zichen and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, Ah Hua."
"You have done a good job," Xie Zichen comforted her: "Alan, you are a very good brother, and she left happily."
Wei Lan didn't speak, she couldn't tell him what was in her heart.
Xie Zichen slept with her at night, Wei Lan was very tired that day, so she went to bed early, but in the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door outside. Xie Zichen opened his eyes suddenly, Wei Lan opened them immediately, and said coldly, "Who?!"
"My lord, His Highness the Third Highness is visiting."
The sound of dyeing ink came from outside, Xie Zichen and Wei Lan looked at each other, Wei Lan made a gesture towards the cabinet, Xie Zichen immediately hid in the cabinet, Wei Lan said to the outside: "Your Highness, wait a moment. "
"Alan, don't be too polite." Su Cheng stood outside, seemingly hesitant.
In fact, he himself didn't know what kind of madness he was, he shouldn't have come, or he shouldn't have come at this time.
I have been so busy lately that I have tried my best to win Zhang Cheng. When he heard the news of Wei Hua's death during the day, he was discussing things with Zhang Sheng. never mind.
However, at night, after he had dealt with everything, this matter surfaced again. He couldn't help but think of her appearance, and the way she would put on a straight face when anyone mentioned her sister in the past. He couldn't help but think that she must care about her sister very much.
There is no one who cares so much, she must be... very sad.
Thinking of this, he suddenly lost the desire to sleep. He also hadn't been able to sleep well for several days, but he still couldn't bear his own thoughts, so he got up and came to Changxinhou Mansion.
He didn't want to disturb others, or wanted to talk to her in private, so he climbed over the wall and came in. Who would have thought that the people in Changxinhou's Mansion would be so vigilant, he was stopped when he just turned in, he could only show his identity, and Wei Lan's guards let him in.
He stood at the door and heard Wei Lan's voice. He felt that he was too impulsive. What should she think if he rushed to visit at this time
He was a little apprehensive like a young man, but Wei Lan only thought that Su Cheng must have something important to come. She put on a robe and got out of bed. After hastily opening the door, she immediately kowtowed and said: "His Royal Highness paid a sudden visit, and Wei Lan was disappointed to welcome him."
When Su Cheng supported her, he was a little flustered.
Originally, he just wanted to see her, and didn't have any other thoughts. Seeing how solemn she was, he hurriedly said, "Ah Lan, there is no need to be polite, this king just came to see you."
Wei Lan looked up strangely, his appearance and the moonlight reflected in her clear and beautiful eyes.
Su Cheng found that Wei Lan seemed to be a little more beautiful after not seeing her for a month. A serious illness made her even thinner. She didn't wear a jade crown at night, and her hair was scattered on both sides, making her look more feminine.
He had never seen her like this before, so he couldn't help staring at her for a moment. Wei Lan glanced sideways at the room, made a gesture of invitation and said, "The room is messy, why don't you discuss it in detail in the courtyard, Your Highness?"
"En." Su Cheng nodded. He just wanted to talk to her and see her condition, so he walked out with Wei Lan without thinking too much.
He was still holding her arm in his hand, Wei Lan pulled away and walked first, Su Cheng recalled the feeling of the slender bone falling in his hand, and his heart was a little turbulent for a moment. However, he immediately stopped himself, followed her, and slowly said: "I have heard about Lingmei, and I am busy with chores during the day, so I come to visit at night, I hope I didn't bother Ah Lan."
"How could it be?" Wei Lan smiled: "Your Highness can come, Wei Lan is very happy."
Hearing this, Su Cheng couldn't help but look back at her, trying to see from her eyes whether it was true or false.
The summer wind blows over, making Wei Lan's hair gently pat on his face, bringing the incense from her body. Wei Lan noticed it immediately, raised her hand and brushed her hair behind her ears, and said apologetically, "This wind came uninvited and disturbed His Highness."
"Su Cheng didn't speak. He turned his head and looked at Wei Lan's hands. Only then did he realize that Wei Lan was only wearing a thin coat. She had just recovered from a serious illness and looked extremely thin. Su Cheng untied herself. Before Wei Lan could react, she put the cloak on her body. Wei Lan was slightly taken aback, Su Cheng lowered his eyes, and carefully tied the cloak strap on her.
"You don't have to thank me." He said slowly, "If you are sick, no one will do anything for me in the future."
Hearing this, Wei Lan couldn't help laughing, looking at the awkward person in front of her.
Over the years, Su Cheng has also grown a lot. The prince who was vicious and flamboyant back then has also learned to hide himself now. He spoke to her much softer, but his awkward temper never changed. For a moment, Wei Lan recalled when she was still in the school, and couldn't help saying: "Your Highness's appearance reminds me of how awkward your Highness was back then."
When mentioning that year, Su Cheng couldn't help but froze. Seeing Wei Lan's open and frank look, Su Cheng understood that what Wei Lan said back then must not be mixed with some strange emotions like him. However, every time he thinks back to those years, he always looks like Wei Lan.
"Alan," he knew that she didn't have such thoughts for him, he raised his hand, stroked her soft hair, and finally said what he had endured for a long time: "Don't be sad."
Wei Lan was a little surprised, she never thought that Su Cheng's late-night visit was just to say such a word to her.
Seeing her surprised look, Su Cheng felt a little embarrassed, he shook his fan and said, "It's okay to see you, so I'm leaving. Eat more food, and you won't be able to meet people if you're so thin."
"Yes." Wei Lan suppressed a smile and sent Su Cheng out the door. When Su Cheng got into the carriage, Wang Guoliang, the great eunuch who served him, followed up, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, what do you really think about this Wei Shizi?"
If he likes it, how can his Su Cheng's temperament endure for so long without showing any trace
If he didn't like it, why would he come running over in the middle of the night with Su Cheng's temperament
Wang Guoliang is good at observing words and expressions. He knew that Su Cheng had a lot to say at this moment, so he opened his mouth to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng closed his eyes, tapped his palms with a fan, and said slowly: "She doesn't like this king, but this king likes her, isn't it just asking for trouble?"
"This king thought he could dislike her."
He sighed, and suddenly felt that this person was a little helpless.
I thought I could not like it.
But I never thought that if I met such a good person, I would meet anyone in the future, it would be just a foil and a contrast. No matter how many concubines and concubines, it's just a comparison to show how irreplaceable that person is.
The carriage rolled over the moonlight and went away, Wei Lan sent Su Cheng away, and returned to the house, Xie Zichen was cautious and hadn't come out of the cabinet yet. Wei Lan glanced at it, smiled and went up to open the cabinet. Xie Zichen squatted in the closet alone, holding himself silently, and glanced coldly at Wei Lan's cloak, his eyes became even more dissatisfied.
"Come out." Wei Lan stepped aside.
Xie Zichen jumped out of the cabinet, immediately untied the cloak she was wearing, and threw it outside.
Wei Lan couldn't help feeling a little funny: "What kind of anger are you doing?"
"I feel like an adulterer." Xie Zichen reached out to take off her clothes, Wei Lan smiled and pressed his hand, Xie Zichen explained: "It smells like him, change it quickly."
"Okay, okay, I'll change." Wei Lan brushed his hand away, took the pajamas from the cabinet, and went behind the screen to change. Xie Zichen sat on the bed, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable.
He said in a muffled voice through the screen: "What is he doing here? The emperor died in the middle of the night?"
"He came to see me when he heard the news of Ah Hua's death." Wei Lan came out after changing clothes, Xie Zichen sneered: "Weasel pays New Year greetings to chickens."
"I know he has bad intentions, so I will be careful." Wei Lan pulled him to sleep, held his hand and said, "You have to go to court tomorrow, so hurry up and sleep a little longer."
Xie Zichen didn't speak, Wei Lan held his hand and closed her eyes. Xie Zichen tossed and turned, and after a while, he woke up Wei Lan, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Tell me the truth, how many times have you kissed him?"
Wei Lan just fell asleep, was shaken awake again, said hazily: "It's been so long, why did you suddenly bring it up..."
"How many times?" Xie Zichen was very persistent.
Wei Lan thought for a while, then hesitated, "Twice?"
"Do you like him?" Xie Zichen's face darkened, and Wei Lan immediately regained her spirits, knowing that this matter would be endless if she couldn't explain clearly, so she hurriedly said, "Zichen, don't misunderstand me, I was so careless at that time , do you know what you like or not?"
"You don't like him, why did you kiss him twice?"
Hearing this question, Wei Lan really regretted it to the extreme. The good thing is to say something twice, Xie Zichen saw it a few times, so why is she talking too much
But after she had said all that, she could only hold on and say: "I was really ignorant at that time, seeing how good-looking he is..."
"Then I don't look good?"
"So I kissed you so many times."
"You kiss when you see a good-looking one?"
"It's not..." Wei Lan struggled: "I also have principles, either I plan to marry him, or he doesn't need me to be responsible. Look at you and Su Cheng..."
"How dare you say that?!" Xie Zichen raised his voice. Wei Lan knew that this matter would not end tonight, so she could only use her nirvana, so she rushed over and bit Xie Zichen's lips.
Xie Zichen struggled a bit at first, but after a quarter of an hour, he stopped talking.
Wei Lan tried her best to comfort him, and said while moving: "Zichen, don't think about it all the time, I really only like you. I have slept with you too, don't be suspicious all the time, huh?"
Xie Zichen panted lowly, unable to think about anything.
He rationally told himself that this is not good, very bad. Wei Lan always gets away with it like this, this is not good.
But the reality was telling him that he couldn't think of anything, he gritted his teeth and didn't scream, it was the last dignity.
After finishing, Xie Zichen didn't think about anything. Wei Lan looked at the person in front of him who was too tired to fall asleep, breathed a sigh of relief, and fell beside Xie Zichen.
Xie Zichen was good at this, the idea came suddenly and went away quickly.
As long as you behave well, everything is easy to talk about.
The next day Xie Zichen went to the court, and the evidence for the Yongchanghou case was almost ready. Zhang Cheng and Chen Hesheng were convicted in court and were ready to be executed in the autumn. This case has been arguing for a month, and finally came to an end, the court hall was silent.
After going down to court, Su Cheng took the initiative to meet Xie Zichen and walked up, and said with a smile, "Thank you Yushi."
Xie Zichen saluted towards Su Cheng: "Third Highness."
"Xie Yushi is going back to the residence?" Su Cheng smiled and said, Xie Zichen looked at Su Cheng, felt that it was particularly unpleasant, nodded, and said: "Let's go to Xiaguan."
He didn't even want to say polite words.
When he turned to leave, the familiar scent on his body made Su Cheng frowned, and after a while, he couldn't help sneering: "The smell on Xie Yushi reminds Su Cheng of an old friend."
Xie Zichen stopped and turned to look at Su Cheng.
"This king remembers that when Xie Yushi was in the palace, he and Wei Shizi shared the same bed for a year."
"Your Highness pays a lot of attention to Wei Shizi," Xie Zichen said calmly, "You can even smell Wei Shizi's fragrance, so I don't know what His Highness thinks about Wei Shizi?"
"I should be the one asking you this." Seeing Xie Zichen admitting so frankly, Su Cheng lowered his face: "Where does this smell come from on your body?"
"Why does Your Highness ask this question? Where does the smell come from, and what does it have to do with Your Highness?"
Xie Zichen answered frankly, Su Cheng couldn't help but tighten his fan, and then saw Xie Zichen lift a sachet from his waist, and said calmly: "But Your Highness wants to know, so the next official told His Highness that this incense came from this sachet Here, the smell of this sachet was requested by someone from Wei Shizi back then, is Your Highness satisfied?"
Hearing this, Su Cheng couldn't help being stunned. A man went to ask another person for the prescription in the sachet. Why
Seeing Su Cheng's expression, Xie Zichen put down the sachet, held the wat board in his hand, and said directly, "So, your Highness must understand what I think, so please don't worry too much about Wei Shizi, even her body. The taste is so clear."
Hearing these words, Su Cheng's face changed several times. Seeing Xie Zichen turned around to leave, Su Cheng stopped him: "Xie Zichen, what do you mean, please tell me clearly!"
"I still don't understand clearly?" Xie Zichen turned his head patiently, with a cold look on his face: "I adore Wei Shizi, if your Highness thinks about Wei Shizi, please stay away from him!"
"You..." Su Cheng was stunned by Xie Zichen's straightforwardness. He never thought that Xie Zichen had such a domineering temper. He seemed to have been prepared to come and talk to him a long time ago, so he didn't leave in a hurry after speaking, just waiting for Su Cheng to reply.
After a long time, Su Cheng finally reacted. Xie Zichen said for a long time that it was all his unrequited love, and Wei Lan didn't seem to respond. If Xie Zichen started thinking about Wei Lan when he was in school, if Wei Lan really liked him, why would he follow Huan Heng to the north and have such an argument with that Tang Mo
After figuring it out, Su Cheng couldn't help but sneered: "It's just unrequited love. If Wei Shizi had half of his friendship with Mr. Xie, he wouldn't have kidnapped Mr. Xie for Huanheng. Mr. Xie loves Mr. Wei, afraid It's just the bright moon shining on the ditch."
"So what?" Xie Zichen said lightly, "I'm happy."
Su Cheng: "..."
Suddenly I didn't know how to continue the conversation.
After successfully seeing that Su Cheng was choked, Xie Zichen achieved his goal, and cupped his hands and said, "Zichen resigns."
Then he turned and left. Su Cheng looked at Xie Zichen's back for a long time, and finally said: "This king finally understands his intention to buy the house opposite Changxinhou's mansion..."
This incident made the counselors in Sioux City worry for a long time, but today Sioux City fully understands it. Wang Guoliang was a little worried: "Could this be Xie Yushi's blindfold..."
"No." Su Cheng shook his head.
You can't hide the way you like someone's eyes.
The way Xie Zichen said these words to him, he obviously liked it very much. I like that anyone who has the intention of getting involved will draw his sword.
no matter who.
Xie Zichen went back and reported the progress of the matter to Wei Lan, skipping the dispute with Su Cheng. Wei Lan listened quietly, knocking on the table, this matter went so smoothly, it made Wei Lan a little uneasy.
As a result, she didn't sleep well for several nights. Seeing that her vacation was coming to an end and she was about to return to court, this sense of uneasiness grew stronger.
Ran Mo comforted her, because midsummer is here, and the weather is hot, which inevitably affects sleep. Wei Lan also wanted to accept this reason. In order to sleep better, she drove people out at night. Except for a few cronies, no one was allowed to get close to her. Then she untied her belt to cool herself off. Some.
It was the same in Su Cheng that night. In the middle of the night, Ran Mo suddenly woke her up, and said anxiously: "My lord, the Third Highness is here."
Wei Lan opened her eyes suddenly, and heard Su Cheng's voice from outside the door: "Ah Lan fell asleep?"
"Your Highness, wait a moment."
Wei Lan got up immediately, rushed into the screen and quickly put on her clothes, then opened the door and respectfully welcomed Su Cheng in.
Su Cheng seems to have fallen in love with the feeling of coming to her in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Xie Zichen went to the Prince's Mansion today, and there was no one in the room. Wei Lan lit a candle, welcomed Su Cheng to the table and sat down, and then let people serve Tea and refreshments were served.
Su Cheng supported his chin and watched Wei Lan busy. He felt that it felt good, especially when he looked at Wei Lan occasionally lowering his eyes, as if he was his princess. This feeling was really good.
He couldn't help smiling, and when Wei Lan was kneeling in front of him, he didn't stop smiling, Wei Lan couldn't help but said: "Why is Your Highness so happy?"
"Oh," Su Cheng recovered his senses, and said with a smile, "I just thought of something."
"Your Highness is visiting late at night, is there something important?"
Wei Lan poured tea for Su Cheng, and Su Cheng tapped the palm of his hand with a small fan. Naturally, he had something important to do when he came. It's just that he had already discussed and arranged this matter with Zhang Sheng, Sun Ming and others, and now he came to Wei Lan, he just wanted to confirm one thing.
Where is her Wei Lan's heart
If her heart is with him, he will protect her for the rest of her life and promise her prosperity.
If her heart is on Xie Zichen...
A coldness flashed across Su Cheng's eyes, but he still had a peach-like smile on his face.
"I'm here today mainly because I have a problem that I want Ah Lan to solve."
Wei Lan's mind turned quickly, the problem that troubled Su Cheng now was nothing more than the need for someone to step up after Zhang Cheng and Chen He's voices went down. She quickly had a candidate in her mind, waiting for Su Cheng to speak. Su Cheng also guessed Wei Lan's thoughts, so he tentatively said: "Ah Lan thinks, who is more suitable for the positions of Minister of War and General Zhonglang?"
"Why didn't Your Highness ask others first?" Wei Lan opened her mouth cautiously, and Su Cheng sighed: "I have asked, but none of them are suitable. Zhang Cheng is one of us, and now that something happened, Father knows clearly Yes, if we propose our own people again, the emperor will not like it. But we can't just watch the Minister of the Ministry of War fall into the hands of the prince, right?"
"Actually, I have a proposal for the position of Minister of War."
"oh?"
"Military Minister Zhao Xin."
"Xin Zhao?" This was beyond Su Cheng's expectation. Xin Zhao does not belong to the princelings, nor does he belong to him. He is a completely neutral person. He was originally from a poor family, but he was recommended by the local government. By chance, he worshiped Kongshan Layman as his teacher. When his disciples entered the court, they entered the military department as soon as they started. And he himself is indeed talented, and he has been promoted all the way by his own ability, never forming cliques, forming cliques for personal gain, and he is a person without any taint.
But why did Wei Lan think of this person
"He came from Zhang Cheng's family, but he did this. Your Majesty must hate the family to the extreme. This Zhao Xin came from a poor family, which makes His Majesty feel at ease. We can first mention that Zhang Shengzi will inherit his father's business. At this time, His Majesty will definitely not let go. Prince We will also recommend others, so we will argue with the prince based on reason, stir up the muddy waters and count all the people in the Ministry of War, and when there is only Xin Zhao available, His Majesty will take the initiative to promote Xin Zhao."
"What if Your Majesty can't remember Xin Zhao?" Su Cheng smiled, and Wei Lan already had a plan: "Now the year-end assessment is coming soon, and Xin Zhao has been the number one in the Ministry of Military Assessment over the years. I would like to remind you to choose someone from the assessment. But this must be mentioned when His Highness and the Crown Prince are arguing."
Su Cheng nodded when he heard the words, but asked: "Xin Zhao is not one of us, why do we use Xin Zhao?"
"Xin Zhao is not one of us, but he can be one of us." Wei Lan smiled: "I know something about him."
"Oh?" Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, his color was unparalleled. Wei Lan hurriedly looked away, and said calmly: "At this moment, the minister is working on it. In short, Xin Zhao must be ours. If he is not ours, he is not the prince's, and we have nothing to lose. In the field, as long as we don't let the prince's people play, we will win."
"I lost a minister of the Ministry of punishment and a general of Zhonglang, so this counts as a win?" Su Cheng sneered at this, and Wei Lan comforted him: "But your highness also lost eleven fourth-rank ministers from the crown prince, isn't it? ?"
Su Cheng snorted coldly, as an admission. After thinking about it, he said: "Forget it, these things are in the past, and I didn't come here for these old things."
Upon hearing this, Wei Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that it was not good. Su Cheng just now was all about probing, let her hand over the cards!
She didn't move, her heart was already vigilant, Su Cheng knocked on the table with her fan, and said slowly: "I came here to ask Ah Lan, I want to move Xie Zichen, can Ah Lan do anything?"
Hearing this, Wei Lan suddenly raised her head and looked at the smiling man opposite.
There was coldness in the other party's eyes, but there was no smile on his lips.
"Why, the prince is distressed?"
With that said, Su Cheng raised his upper body and approached Wei Lan.
His breath was entangled with her, and his eyes were entangled with her like a poisonous snake, with naked jealousy and resentment in his eyes.
"I want Xie Zichen's life, the prince must have a way, right?"
The author has something to say:
[small theater]
Wei Lan: "Zichen, can I have a discussion with you, can I stop going to bed when I get jealous?"
Xie Zichen: "No, no, I don't want it!"
Wei Lan: "Then I'm going to scale up my moves."
Xie Zichen (blushing): "Well... don't... don't..."
Wei Lan: "..."
(Why do you think he did it on purpose?)
