Chapter 203: Think Three Times
The scene of the man in black and Du Yue together was seen by a dark shadow.
The shadow retreated into darkness.
Until the man in black left.
As he came out, someone patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey."
Eshi slapped the camera and said, "It suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. Even the timid ones would be scared to death."
"You're not a coward."
"Why did you sneak in here instead of serving your masters?" Eshi walked to the back.
Living alone does not matter:
"My Lord asked me to come in and take a look. He said that we should fan the flames and make that person go crazy first."
Eshi nodded.
"I see."
It would only work if the person sitting in that position was crazy.
Nowadays.
It is destined that many people in the capital will have sleepless nights.
Shen House.
The Shen Jie brothers and Shen Zhongshu were in the study.
Shen Jie and Su Zhixun are close friends.
He looked at Shen Zhongshu with great sorrow, "Dad, are you happy?"
Shen Zhongshu looked unhappy, and anger appeared on his gloomy face. "You can eat whatever you want, but don't say anything you want."
"Third brother. What is your attitude towards father?" Shen Yu pulled Shen Jie's sleeve to stop him from speaking.
Shen Jie pulled it apart.
"My father made us remember the essentials of being an official, the first of which is to 'think twice before doing anything'.
Knowing that you should avoid something that is bad for your family is called "thinking of danger". Hiding behind others and not saying anything, watching others come forward and thinking about how to make the next move is called "thinking of change".
When there is an opportunity, seize every possible opportunity to plan. Maximizing benefits is called "thinking". My father taught me the right thing, you see how much we brothers listen to you. "
"Third brother. You drank alcohol today and offended father. We won't hold it against you. Come and apologize to father tomorrow." Shen Yu said sternly.
Shen Zhongshu was still sitting in the chair.
He stroked his beard, looking confident.
It seemed that he couldn't understand what Shen Jieyin said.
Shen Jie stared at his brothers in disappointment. "Let me tell you, even if the Shen family is in a high position, it will never, ever be able to compare to the status of the Su family in the eyes of the common people."
He pointed overhead.
"In the hearts of the people, the Su family is this. What do you think Su Zhixun is doing? He has the people of Da Zhou in his heart. Why is Duke Su willing to step down? He has the people of Da Zhou and the people of Mobei in his heart."
"Father. Father."
"I admire you very much, but you really taught me a lesson. You said that you became an official for the people, to give them hope. No, you didn't give them hope. You did it for the wealth of the Shen family."
Shen Jie slapped himself hard, "I hate myself."
Shen Yu and his companions turned pale.
This kid is tired of living.
Shen Zhuo glanced at Shen Zhongshu nervously and immediately explained:
"Father. My third brother is drunk."
Shen Zhongshu slowly raised his head, "What are you making a fuss about? You are from my Shen family, not his Su family. You said I taught you to think twice? Aren't you also obsessed with wealth and glory?
The emperor wanted to strip Su Zhixun of his military power, why didn't you oppose it with your own death? You didn't dare to do it yourself, so you pushed the responsibility onto me. "
Shen Zhongshu sat on a chair and didn't need to make any big movements when speaking.
It always gives people an invisible sense of oppression.
His sons were all very afraid of him.
"To die on the battlefield is the general's end. Su Zhixun knew it on the first day he went to Mobei." Shen Zhongshu looked at Shen Jie with his head lowered dejectedly, revealing a hint of understanding.
Slow sound:
"get out."
All the brothers of the Shen family went out.
Out of the front yard.
Shen Jie looked at the moon in space. It was really cold today.
The cold wind was biting.
His throat was also cold. He and Su Zhixun had a really good relationship when they were young. When did they drift apart? He couldn't remember.
"Third brother. Our Shen family is a century-old family. You should be careful about what you do and say. Our emperor is becoming more and more erratic and unwilling to care about his reputation as an emperor. You have to try to figure out the emperor's mind, but there are always times when you make mistakes. Ask your children if they are willing to be implicated."
Shen Yu's words were like a slap in the face.
The Shen family flourished.
Shen Jie covered his face dejectedly, "I'm going back."
Shen Zhuo looked at his bent back as he walked forward in the deep winter night. "Brother, have you figured it out, Third Brother?"
"You have to figure it out even if you don't understand. The Shen family, with more than a thousand people, won't tolerate his temper. Su Zhixun's death is also an opportunity for my third brother to grow up. He resents his father now, but he is also the most like his father. He will definitely grow up to be like his father."
Shen Ting withdrew his gaze with a complicated expression.
Too cruel.
In the middle of the night, Su Rutang opened his eyes.
She wants to go to Mobei.
"Shang Yan. I'm going to take Yuxuan to Mobei." Su Rutang nestled in Shang Yan's arms. "I'm taking Yuxuan to handle the funeral of my uncle and aunt."
"Okay. You... insist on having them buried in Mobei. There's nothing worth lingering in this damn place called the capital."
Su Rutang moved his body.
He pressed his entire back against Shang Yan's chest. "The future is unpredictable. Sooner or later, there will be a big war. The Su family and I will plan revenge for you and help you do what you want."
"My heart is very small and can't hold all the people in the world. I just want you, the child, the Su family, and the people I care about to be safe."
Su Rutang took Shang Yan's hand and placed it on his face.
"So Changyou..."
The sound was very soft, so soft that Shang Yan almost thought he had heard it wrong.
"You must succeed. Otherwise, my Su clan will be branded as rebels and die under the emperor's sword."
Su Rutang knew that the emperor had always wanted to destroy the Su family from the beginning until now.
The Su family's continued survival made the emperor uneasy.
Shang Yan's hand gently stroked Su Rutang's face.
Hold her tight.
The two of them were entangled in one body, and his legs were rubbing against Su Rutang's feet.
He originally didn't want to drag Su Rutang into this.
He even felt a little resentful that she had harmed the children, but what happened afterwards made him fall into it again, and he let Su Rutang accompany him on the road of overcoming difficulties.
"I will succeed. Rutang, you gave me confidence."
"The Su family is not your responsibility, it's my responsibility." If her father hadn't been plotted against, how could Su Rutang have married for the third time? How could the Su family be suspected?
General Su must be guarding the northern desert like a huge rock.
The two opened their hearts.
Hug each other tenderly for a while.
Shang Yan wanted to keep an eye on the capital. Du Yue and the people behind him were playing chess, but they didn't know that Shang Yan had already spotted them. He wanted them to be the players in this game, and everything was under his control.
"I can't go with you to Mobei. I will ask you to take a team with you, and the abbot will also go with you."
Su Rutang: “…”
"The abbot is a monk."
"Well. So what if he's a monk? He's very capable. Otherwise, Master Liangran will find someone for you. Yaoyao and Shangqi will also go to Mobei with Yuxuan. They should go." Shangqi hugged Su Rutang and said softly:
"Grandfather will definitely come to the capital. I will tell him my identity and I'll bet on whether Grandfather is willing to help us."
If only before...
Shang Yan didn't dare to gamble.
But... the emperor could disregard the well-being of the people just to take away the power of the generals. Such an emperor was contrary to the ideas of Minister Su. The Su family had sworn to be loyal to the emperor for generations.
"I'm not sure what my grandfather thinks." Su Rutang hesitated.
"This is my business. Just go to Mobei with peace of mind." At this point, Shang Yan said again: "Su Rumei must have received the news, maybe she will come back to the capital."
"Tell her we're going to Mobei and tell her not to come back."
"You write letters."
"it is good."
Shang Yan stroked Su Rutang's soft hair and said, "Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Su Rutang closed his eyes.
Close your eyes.
All that came into view was the scene of Mobei. In the heavy snow and wind, Su Zhixun was sitting on the snow holding Lan Xuanji, like a sculpture of ice and snow.
Her heart really hurts.
Su Rutang found himself feeling sad, but he couldn't shed tears.
Early the next morning.
Tangyuan became busy.
Shang Yan knew that Su Rutang was afraid of the cold, so he brought enough stuff to fill two carriages. "Huo Mi, you lead the team to Mobei. Remember to change horses along the way."
He knew that Su Rutang wanted to reach Mobei as soon as possible.
"My subordinates know."
After Su Rutang got up, he put on clothes that were convenient for moving in. Looking at the three carriages leaving, he couldn't help but twitching his lips.
“I’m not going there for fun.”
"There will inevitably be a dispute over uncle's affairs, so you might as well bring more things with you." Shang Yan lowered his voice, "We have to let the emperor see that we are not so sincere to the Su family."
Su Rutang nodded.
"Tell Song Huaiyan to send cotton clothes, quilts and food to Mobei." Shang Yan knew about the business between Su Rutang and Song Huaiyan.
"Ah."
It is difficult to predict what will happen to Mobei in the future, and Su Rutang wants to provide Mobei with sufficient granaries.
