The most romantic little emperor

Although they were somewhat reluctant, Kong Boli was telling the truth and his suggestion was not unreasonable.

"Okay, then let's do as Boli says."

Su Zhengfang said in a deep voice: "Youwei, go to the other three grain stores tomorrow and find a chance to meet with their heads, test their opinions, and see what their attitudes are."

"As long as you do this well, the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will be reserved for you."

When Du Youwei heard Su Zhengfang's promise, he immediately expressed his willingness to do his best to make the matter a success.

"Wentai! You have followed me for so many years, I have not treated you unfairly!" Su Zhengfang said lightly.

The Minister of War Wen Tai felt a pang in his heart. Well, he had to clean up the mess again. Although he was reluctant, he had to agree.

Because if it weren't for the support of the Su family over the years, he would not have been so successful and would not have been able to reach the position of Minister of War.

Now the Su and Wen families have become a community of interests, and if something goes wrong, no one can escape.

So, he bowed and smiled, "Master Su, you are too polite. Please tell me what you want to do."

Su Zhengfang nodded. He was very satisfied with Wen Tai's attitude.

After all, this is the tacit understanding that the two have developed through their long-term cooperation over the years.

He took a long breath and sighed, "The matter of Sun Zhigang and Deng Huyong is now in your hands. If you can rescue them, then do so. If you can't, then you can only..."

"You understand what I mean!"

Wen Tai nodded and stopped talking.

Everyone remained silent, because this was a habit formed between them. Once Su Zhengfang said something like this, there was a high probability that the two of them would be abandoned.

But no one felt sorry for the two of them, and no one even came out to say a word for them.

Because interests are the driving force behind people's hearts, if anyone dares to infringe on everyone's interests, Su Zhengfang will send someone to send him to the guillotine, even if that person is his own son.

This is also the main reason why everyone is willing to follow the Su family despite the risk of being beheaded.

"Bo Li! You have performed well during this period. I have seen it."

Su Zhengfang said calmly: "I have already asked people to prepare food and wages, you can wait for your turn at the court tomorrow morning!"

Kong Boli was delighted when he heard this. He knelt on the ground and said excitedly, "Thank you very much for your cultivation, Lord Shangshu."

"Get up!" Su Zhengfang said with a smile.

To be honest, Su Zhengfang really likes the feeling of holding other people's fate in his own hands, which gives him a great sense of accomplishment.

"Congratulations in advance, Brother Boli."

"Master Kong, congratulations."

……

Everyone present congratulated Kong Boli, their faces filled with false and enthusiastic smiles, as if they were sincerely wishing Kong Boli a promotion.

I just don’t know how many of these blessings are fake and how many are real.

Kong Boli accepted their blessings humbly, but was secretly delighted in his heart.

He knew that he was the biggest winner tonight, and he didn't care about these false congratulations.

"Don't be jealous of Boli, you also have to fight for your dignity."

Su Zhengfang could hear some people were being sarcastic and rebuked them, "As long as you work hard for our Su family and protect everyone's interests, I will not treat anyone here unfairly."

Only then did everyone put away their disrespectful thoughts.

"There is an important matter to be done at the morning court tomorrow, so I'm here to say hello to you in advance."

Su Zhengfang said solemnly, "I have reached an agreement with Dong Sicheng. He will do his best to help Su Meng become the general of the Qinglong Guard. You should also actively contribute!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and they expressed their support and praised Su Zhengfang and Su Meng.

"Congratulations, Lord Su! The Su family is going to have another star general. This is really cause for celebration!"

"Congratulations, Second Young Master. If you become a general, your achievements will definitely not be inferior to anyone else."

"Lord Su is in charge of the overall planning. With the help of the Second Young Master, the Su family will be even more powerful. Wouldn't you be more comfortable in the court?"

……

Su Meng enjoyed the crowd's pursuit with great satisfaction, his face filled with pride and confidence.

He glanced at Su Yong in the corner, a mocking smile on his face.

He knew that Su Yong could no longer shake his position and that he would be the future master of the Su family.

Su Meng straightened his chest and looked around at everyone. He raised his hand and pressed it down gently, and everyone immediately quieted down.

He cleared his throat and said loudly: "My Lords, the prosperity of our Su family is all due to the joint efforts of all the Lords present. I, Su Meng, would like to thank you all here."

"And I, Su Meng, will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and strive for more benefits for everyone. I hope that you will support me in the future."

After saying this, he bowed to everyone.

Su Zhengfang looked at his second son's performance with satisfaction. To be honest, he was originally optimistic about his eldest son, but ever since Su Yong discovered his secret, he became increasingly dissatisfied with Su Yong.

Su Meng's return made him feel refreshed, especially Su Meng's performance today, he was very satisfied.

Therefore, he made up his mind that no matter what, he would push Su Meng to the position of the general of Qinglong Guard. Perhaps the future hope of the Su family would depend on him.

Su Yong sat in the corner, listening to everyone praising Su Meng, feeling neither happy nor sad. Before, this situation had happened to him.

However, everything changed since he discovered his father's secret. Now that his second brother has returned, his father looks at him even colder.

Su Yong clenched his hands, swore secretly in his heart, and became more determined to take everything of the Su family into his own hands.

Suddenly, the butler's voice came from outside the door: "Master, I have something to report."

Su Zhengfang knew that the butler was always very disciplined and would not interrupt such an important meeting without authorization unless there was something important.

At this moment, he frowned slightly. Although he was a little unhappy, he still motioned for the butler to come in.

The butler walked quickly into the hall, came to Su Zhengfang, and whispered in his ear, "Master, I just got the news that the prince was assassinated by a large number of unknown men in black tonight. The rest of the situation is unknown, and we are still making further inquiries."

Su Zhengfang's face changed and he was horrified. He was not sure whether he should tell everyone about this.

So he called Wentai to the next room and told him what happened.

After hearing this, Wen Tai was shocked for a moment and asked in a trembling voice: "Master Su, do you know who did this?"

Su Zhengfang shook his head and whispered, "I don't know."

"I am worried that if someone with ulterior motives puts the blame on us, it will be troublesome, so I came to discuss it with you."

Wen Tai tried to calm his uneasy emotions and said in a deep voice: "Master Su, it is really inappropriate for so many of us to gather here today."

"Even if the court finds out that it has nothing to do with us, they will still use this matter as an excuse. We should end the meeting quickly and pretend that we knew nothing about it."

Su Zhengfang nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

So, the two of them came out together, gave some instructions to everyone, and then signaled everyone to disperse.
