Chapter 503

Although Empress Wei reminded Emperor Duanhua, she didn’t really expect Emperor Duanhua to come up with any good countermeasures, so she followed up with, “This is a big matter, it’s better to ask Minister Gu to discuss it!”

Although Emperor Duanhua was not as shrewd as her, at this moment he also heard her distrust of himself, and his heart was not happy however, he really could not come up with any subtle methods, so he only had to keep his face quiet and let Empress Wei order the palace to go and ask Gu Shao to go.

I don’t want Gu Shao to be invited, but there was another messenger who sped into the Imperial City and hurriedly reported, “There are clues to the assassin of King Xiang, and it is suspected that he has something to do with King Su!”

“What?!” The Emperor and Empress were both shocked at the words, but Empress Wei quickly snapped out of it, narrowed her eyes, and said, “Your Majesty, you can’t procrastinate on such a big event! We must hasten to convene a court meeting and discuss it with all the public officials!”

She knew Gu Shao wasn’t a light that could be saved!

If Gu Shao is not the mastermind of this matter, at least Gu Shao has persuaded the king to cooperate in a play!

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that only after receiving the report of King Xiang’s assassination, the spearhead was then aimed at King Su?

Obviously someone who was targeting King Su had calculated this!

After all, King Xiang’s domain was thousands of miles away in the southwest, and now that he had been assassinated and was pointing at King Su, what would the court do if they found out?

Of course, he summoned King Su to the imperial capital to question him!

Originally, King Su’s vassal land is also very far away from the imperial capital, even if he does not openly resist the decree, refused to return to the imperial capital, but to find all kinds of excuses, delaying the trip, the imperial court side unless he tore his face off, or else there is not much that can be done.

Now well, King Su was under suspicion of plotting against his bloodline brother and name cousin so any delay in his return to the imperial capital would be viewed as a thief’s heart!

If he comes back, it will be a tiger and a bull in a box;

If he simply raises his flag and rebels, then the court will be able to crusade against him in a dignified manner!

It can be said that right now King Suk has been caught in a difficult to nearunsolvable predicamentunless King Xiang suddenly turns his back on him and takes the initiative to explain that he was mistaken before and that the assassin wasn’t actually King Suk.

However, Empress Wei was certain that Gu Shao would not give King Xiang the chance to be a wallflower!

King Su is not only a great threat to Emperor Duanhua, but also a great danger to Empress Wei, so for the current situation, the Empress is happy to see, and after a change of mind, she busily said to the Emperor, “After all, King Xiang is also the blood of the former Emperor, even if he is succeeded by Uncle Xiangjing, he is still our brother! Even if he is succeeded by Uncle Xiang Jing, he is still our brother, how can we not do him justice?”

Gu Shao has set the stage, how can he not take advantage of the victory, and in the time when the Empress Dowager Su and the Su family have not yet reacted, knocked the King of Su’s crime of plotting against his brother to death?

In fact, it does not matter, anyway, finalized is to let Su Wang back to the imperial capital to take the blame, knocking is not right to Su Wang to the imperial capital of selfdefense Su Wang to come or not, or not, there is no good end.

The emperor suddenly convened a court meeting, and the principal officials of the three provinces and six ministries urgently entered the palace.

Yan Marquis Mansion, Song Yixiao is leaning on the couch, the edge of the needle and thread without a moment, while watching the three children lying on the wide table tracing red they are now not officially enrolled in school, the requirements are not too high, tracing the process of red, inevitably the four treasures of the literary house as a toy, cheeky and haphazard mess.

At this moment, Jian Qing Yue pretended that there was something he didn’t know how to do and leaned over to Song Xuan to ask him for advice.

Song Xuan do not doubt him, is lowered milky voice for her explanation, who knows Jane Qing Yue suddenly in a lightning fast momentum, wiped on his face, the end of the laugh she leaned over before secretly in the ink stone dyeing a handful of ink, this paste Song Xuan small half of the face, the boy’s white face a clear ink handprints, naturally! A clear ink handprint on the boy’s white and clean face, naturally very funny.

Not only Jian Qing Yue, the several small maids serving beside her could not help but quietly turn their backs and shrug their shoulders.

“Chao Ping!” Seeing this, Song Yixiao naturally had to intervene, busy ordering someone to fetch water to wash her righteous son’s face, and scolding her daughter, “I told you to trace red, what are you doing? Look at what you’ve done, what you’ve done to your brother’s facewhy don’t you quickly apologize to your brother!”

Jian Qingyue spat out her tongue and smiled as she blessed Song Xuan, “Brother Song, I’m sorry, I’ve turned you into a little flower cat!”

When she said that, she was facing Song Xuan and couldn’t help but laugh playfully again at the ink marks on his face and the uncertainty.

Although Song Xuan could not see the situation on his face himself, he could guess from the reactions of the people around him, he was not ashamed to be the child specially picked out from Song Luoshi’s side, and did not get angry or aggravated, but instead smiled, “It’s fine, just wash it off.”

“Chao Ping, come here!” Song Yixiao saw this, but sank her face, putting the needle and thread in her hand aside, and after calling her daughter to her heels, she said to Suzaku, “Go get the ruler!”

Bell was stunned, and Jian Qingyue also heard that something was wrong, and hastily restrained her playfulness, saying, “Mother, I was joking with brother! I didn’t mean to humiliate brother!”

“Is that how jokes are made?” Song Yixiao chilled her face, casting a sidelong glance at Jingdang, who was still standing still, “Are you alone and can’t hold the ruler, or didn’t you hear it?”

“The slave girl will go!” Originally bell because Song Yi smile now on Jane Qing Yue a child, usually is also a thousand favor, when the heart like, and Song Xuan in the end is only recognized as a righteous son, but is a child playful, Song Xuan did not cry, do the appearance is almost, is not even intended to go to fetch the ruler, at this moment to see that Song Yi smile really want to teach his daughter, only to hasten to Fu Fu to implement.

A few moments later she took the ruler back from next door, the little maid also played a good water, Song Yi smile pursed lips, hand twisted a handkerchief, for Song Xuan wiped his face, and gave his daughter washed her hands, ordering people to put the water basin with the handkerchiefs out of the side of his daughter said, “Stretch out your hand!”

“Mother, I know I’m wrong!” Jian Qing Yue was already in tears and begged, “Don’t hit me, okay? I won’t tease my brother next time!”

Song Xuan also helped her plead, “Mother, my sister was just joking, don’t blame her. I play with my sister like this sometimes too.”

Song Yixiao did not care, holding Jane Qing Yue’s small hand, slightly tightened the force, hard to hit the palm of the hand ten times before stopping although she controlled the force, but this age of small children tender hands, in the end, the palm of the palm red, pain Jane Qing Yue tears, beeping full of aggrieved look at his mother.

“Know you’re wrong?” Song Yixiao held back her heartache, handed the ruler to Bell, and asked with a sullen face.

“… Got it.” Jian Qing Yue clearly thought that he shouldn’t have been chastised so harshly, and although he admitted his fault under his mother’s compulsion, defiance was written all over his little face.

Song Yi smile looked out, was about to continue to teach her a few sentences, do not want to outside a maid hurriedly entered, reported, “Grandma, Fuyang Marquis side sent people, said Fuyang Marquis wife’s pregnancy seems to be some … want to ask you to go over to take a look at the lady!”

Ji Zifu had just had a falling out with both the Qingjiang County Princess and the Shouchunbo couple not long ago for seeking help from the Grand Princess of Jin, so naturally he didn’t have the face to go out and ask for help at the moment his cousin’s sisterinlaw, Wei Yinlian, who had nothing to show for it so far, was also inexperienced in this sort of thing.

Now that Su Shao Ling’s pregnancy is different, she can really only look for the Marquis Yan.

Song Yixiao received this news dare not be slow, do not care to give his daughter a lecture, explain the bells look after the children, he was busy into the inner room hurriedly changed clothes and skirts, and invited Yun aunt a boarding car however, rushed to the Fuyang Marquis House, was guarded at the door of the subordinates turned around to lead to the place, the curtains of the inner room, but did not see Su ShaoLing! Instead, Ji Zifu and Su Shaoge were sitting with their arms folded, and when they saw her come in, they simultaneously rose to greet her!

“What does Cousin Ji mean by this?” Seeing this, how could Song Yixiao not realize that she had been tricked?

She could not help but stop her feet at the door, no longer walking towards the inside, and questioned in a deep voice, “I believed the people you sent to the Yan Marquis House, and thought that cousin sister in law had something bad, so even her own child did not care about it, and hurriedly led the people to rush, but you prepared this battle … what does it mean?”

While questioning, Song Yixiao pondered, “This situation is really strange! Why is Cousin Ji with Eldest Prince Su? Didn’t these two support King Xiang and King Su respectively? Could it be that King Xiang and King Su are working together again? But the news from the gate just now clearly said that King Xiang’s assassination was the work of King Su, so it’s obvious that King Xiang has most likely defected to His Majesty, and he’s going to help His Majesty deal with King Su in exchange for his own life!”

Southwest today came two urgent reports, does not belong to the category of confidentiality, so the report of the people from the imperial city, almost all the way to Xuanming Palace yell, so naturally in a very short period of time to the outside of the palace.

Now, although we can not say that even the people in the city know, but the big families have almost all known about this Song Yixiao just watched the children do needlework, but also thought of the Su family now do not know how to cope with it?

This would make his heart sink, ”Could it be that the Su family is also planning to abandon King Su? However, this seems unlikely, because although King Su’s own qualifications are good, they are not enough to threaten His Majesty. The real threat is actually the Su family, so if it is possible for King Su to abandon the Su family, it is impossible for the Su family to abandon King Su. After all, unless King Su ascends to the throne, they will have a chance of survival, otherwise whoever is the emperor will not be able to feel comfortable keeping them!”

Even if King Su ascends to the throne, the Su family may not be safe.

After all, there were quite a few emperors who had taken out their own foreign families throughout the ages the current Emperor Duanhua was an example of this, and the Cui family didn’t even threaten this emperor at all.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and it has been so since.

“Sister is also pregnant, please sit down and talk!” Ji Zifu’s voice interrupted her thoughts, Song YiXiao raised her eyes and looked over, but she saw that he had a complicated look on his face and was making a “please” gesture to himself.

Song Yixiao only thought that he was worried about the situation at hand, and didn’t think much of it, and after a little thought, he sat down on the guest seat as he was told, and nodded to Su Shaoge before saying, “I’ve already sat down, shouldn’t cousin also tell me the reason for doing so?”

“It’s better for me to say it!” Ji Zifu pondered, but Su Shaoge suddenly opened his mouth and said in a gentle manner, “In fact, the matter is very simple, His Majesty’s qualifications are mediocre, and since he ascended to the throne, he has made no achievements, if it were not for the old ministers such as Gu Xiang who supported the court, I am afraid that the world would have long been in chaos! Originally, we can still hope that, after His Majesty grows older, he can become old and prudent, as the trust of the gods of earth and grain. Who knows that his majesty is more and more temperamental these two years ….”

This kind of course was a platitude, because it was clear in the hearts of those present that they did not want Emperor Duanhua to continue to be the emperor, and it actually did not have much to do with the fact that Emperor Duanhua was not a bright ruler, the most crucial thing was that the reign of Emperor Duanhua was not in line with their interests as well as their safety.

But the three were not yet familiar enough to discuss rebellion directly, and this kind of condescending introductory remarks were still necessary.

Song Yi smile so patiently. After listening to Su Shaoge’s long speech and then he finally got to the point, “This is a big matter, and the court in the public many do not understand, or difficult to make a decision, for the Jiangshan Jinji, I think, we should discuss, the next situation, you and I where to go from here! “
