The most romantic little emperor
Chapter 125: Nothing is impossible if we join forces
Today is a good day for the Su family because his second son Su Meng has returned from the border.
When all the civil and military officials in the court heard the news that the Second Master Su had returned, many of them came to congratulate him with gifts.
At night, the Su Mansion was decorated with lights and was brightly lit. Amid the hustle and bustle of the city, guests came in an endless stream to welcome Su Meng.
At this time, Su Meng was wearing a maroon silk brocade robe, like a groom getting ready to get married. He stood at the door of the mansion with a smile on his face, welcoming the guests.
His eyes kept wandering over the guests coming and going, with a kind and gentle smile on his face.
"Master Kong, I miss you so much after not seeing you for so long! My father wants you to go to the study to discuss something important."
"Hey, Minister Wen, I greet you. How are you? Please come in."
"Master Du, why didn't you bring your precious daughter to play with us tonight? Your nephew misses Xiaomei so much!"
……
Just when most people had arrived, an uninvited guest arrived.
The person who came was the current Grand Tutor Dong Sicheng. The moment he stepped into the gate of the Su Mansion, the whole mansion seemed to become brighter.
With a faint smile on his face and holding a beautiful gift box in his hand, he walked up to Su Meng and said with a bow, "Second Master Su is back. Congratulations."
Su Meng looked at Dong Sicheng, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He didn't expect that Dong Sicheng, who had always been at odds with the Su family, would come to congratulate him in person.
"It is a great honor for our Su family that Master Dong can come here!"
He hurried over and pretended to be surprised and said, "Master Dong, please come in. My father would be very happy to see you here."
Dong Sicheng smiled slightly, nodded, and followed Su Meng into the Su Mansion.
The two of them chatted as they walked, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Dong Sicheng was chatting and laughing, and his words revealed his praise for Su Meng, while Su Meng had a grateful look on his face and made jokes from time to time, making Dong Sicheng laugh.
At this time, the hall had already been decorated, with red candles shining brightly and lights on.
Su Meng asked Dong Sicheng to sit down, and the servant immediately brought him some fragrant tea.
Then he asked the servant to quickly call his father over.
At this time, Su Zhengfang was discussing with Su Gan, Kong Boli and other cronies in his study about Su Meng taking over the position of Qinglong Guard.
When he received the news of Dong Sicheng's arrival, he was both surprised and confused, and he didn't know what his move meant.
So he hurriedly took everyone and rushed to the hall to welcome them.
The moment they walked into the hall, the whole atmosphere seemed to be lifted.
Dong Sicheng sat in the main seat with a smile on his face, while Su Meng was beside him, greeting everyone warmly.
Su Zhengfang walked up to Dong Sicheng and bowed, "It is an honor for our Su family that Master Dong is here."
Dong Sicheng returned the greeting with a bow, "Minister Su, congratulations, Su Meng is back, your Su family has reached a new level, the position of the general of the Azure Dragon Guard must belong to Su Meng, haha!"
"No, no, my son still has a lot to learn. Whether he can serve as the general of Qinglong Guard this time depends on your support!" Su Zhengfang said politely.
Dong Sicheng laughed and said, "Haha! Old Su! Let's find a quiet place and have a chat!"
"Let's go to my study. I just happen to have something to exchange ideas with you." Su Zhengfang made a gesture of invitation.
The two of them came to the study, and Dong Sicheng got straight to the point: "Old Su, what do you think the prince meant today? To ask Xie An and the three of us to jointly recommend officials to work in your Ministry of Revenue?"
"I've been thinking about it for a whole day but I can't come up with any idea, so I'm taking this opportunity to ask for your opinion."
"Humph, what's the point? Isn't it just to stir up trouble between our two families?"
Su Zhengfang said angrily, "Old Dong, I'm telling you! Don't fall into his trap."
"Old Su, the Ministry of Revenue is run by your Su family. I will not put my hand in your pot to take food."
Dong Sicheng pretended to be innocent and said sincerely: "But if I reject the prince's kindness, my daughter will suffer."
Su Zhengfang cursed in his heart, "What an old fox!" He was trying to negotiate terms with him!
If I don't agree to him, he won't give in, and might even do something bad in secret. He really has a good plan!
Dong Sicheng's words made Su Zhengfang fall into deep thought. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Old Dong, I understand your concerns, but if the prince really intends to sow discord between our two families, then we should keep a clear head and not let him succeed."
After hearing this, Dong Sicheng nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He knew in his heart that although Su Zhengfang had some grudges against him, their positions on this matter were surprisingly consistent.
The two smiled at each other, and had already made up their minds.
Dong Sicheng smiled and said, "I wonder what your plan is? Let's discuss it."
"I heard that the Crown Princess has been very favored during this period. Is this true?" Su Zhengfang asked back.
It would have been better if Su Zhengfang didn't mention this matter. If he mentioned it now, wouldn't it be slandering his Su family for not being able to defeat the Wang brothers and sisters?
Instantly, Dong Sicheng's face changed from gloomy to bright. He snorted coldly and pretended to be angry and said, "Old Su, what do you mean by this? Do you want to see my father and I make a fool of ourselves?"
"If you mention this again, I'm leaving."
After saying that, he stood up and pretended to leave.
Su Zhengfang watched his performance, neither angry nor trying to dissuade him. He snorted in his heart, "Go on, keep acting, and see how long you can last."
When Dong Sicheng walked to the door, he didn't see Su Zhengfang stop him, and he was very angry.
So, he turned around and said coldly: "Does your second son Su Meng still want to be a general?"
"Oh! Old Dong, why are you leaving just like that?"
Su Zhengfang quickly stood up, pulled him back, and said apologetically: "Boss, don't be angry! Why don't we talk it out?"
Dong Sicheng snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction, and then sat down again.
"Boss, let's stop hiding things and just speak frankly!"
Su Zhengfang said calmly: "My son wants to be a general, and your daughter wants to be a crown princess, right or not?"
Dong Sicheng nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with him.
"So, our two companies have a basis for cooperation."
Su Zhengfang continued, "How about this! My Su family will help your daughter win the position of Crown Princess, and your Dong family will help my son win the position of General."
"how do you feel?"
"That's a great idea! As long as our two families unite, there's nothing we can't do."
Dong Sicheng nodded and asked, "I just don't know how your Su family can help my daughter win the position of Crown Princess?"
Su Zhengfang knew that Dong Sicheng would not easily believe his words. He was an old fox who would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. He was very experienced!
He smiled sinisterly and said, "Tell me, if the one from the Wang family dies, can your daughter take the position of Crown Princess?"
