The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 20: The Sly and Cunning Minister Su

Soon they came to the study room, and Su Zhengfang told Su Yong about the prince's inspection of the left camp, and said in a deep voice, "Yong'er, what do you think about this?"

Su Yong frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Father, I guess the prince is sending us a signal that he wants to use the Wang family. Originally, my Su family and the Dong family were the only two families in the court. Now the prince wants to find a new opponent for us to form a three-way confrontation. If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be extremely disadvantageous to my Su family."

Su Zhengfang nodded and smiled, "Your analysis is correct. The prince wants to reuse the Wang family, so we must strangle the Wang family in the cradle. The core of the Wang family is the Crown Princess Wang Yourong. As long as we bring the Crown Princess down, the Wang family will not be a concern."

"Now that we have learned the news, I guess that old fox Dong Sicheng has also known about it."

"Father, do you want us to join forces with the Dong family to bring down the Wang family?"

"Yong'er, if we join hands with the Dong family, it's like trying to get the skin of a tiger. Doesn't Dong Sicheng's daughter want to be the Crown Princess? We should support Dong Mei'er to be the Crown Princess, and then let them fight it out. We will sit back and watch the fight and reap the benefits."

Su Yong hurriedly asked, "Father, if we support Dong Meier to become the Crown Princess, once the Emperor dies and the Crown Prince ascends the throne, then Dong Meier will be the Queen. Wouldn't we be shooting ourselves in the foot?"

Su Zhengfang was dissatisfied and snorted, "The position of Crown Princess is not something the Dong family can get just because they want it. Don't forget, the emperor is not dead yet. It was the emperor who advocated making Wang Yourong the Crown Princess. How can it be so easy to depose the Crown Princess?"

"Even if the emperor dies now, it's still uncertain whether the prince can take that position."

"Tomorrow you will go to court and cooperate with Master Dong. When the Dong family and the Wang family fight, you will add fuel to the fire. Got it?"

Su Yong raised his head and said unconvincedly: "The child knows."

Su Zhengfang sensed that his son was very unconvinced, and said earnestly, "Yong'er, you have to know that I have high hopes for you. When you see a question in the future, you should think carefully before answering it. If you do this, can I rest assured that I will hand over the power of the Su family to you?"

After saying that, he let Su Yong leave. Seeing Su Yong's leaving back, he felt very lost.

Similarly, Su Yong walked out of the study with the same lost look on his face, and became even more dissatisfied with his father.

After a while, Su Zhengfang opened the mechanism behind the study wall and saw a hole in the floor. There were steps under the hole and inside was a dark room filled with boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

Su Zhengfang walked in and closed the mechanism, but he didn't even look at the box full of gold, silver and jewelry. He turned around and opened another mechanism, and saw a secret passage as tall as a person appeared in front of him.

It was unknown how long he walked before Su Zhengfang came out of the secret passage and came to a courtyard, then turned around and went to the next courtyard.

He knocked on the door three times lightly, and a man in black came out and welcomed him in.

After entering the room, the man in black knelt down to Su Fangzheng. Su Zhengfang turned his back to the man in black and said, "How is the health of the man in the palace now?"

The man in black bowed and said, "Your Excellency, the Emperor is now terminally ill and will not survive more than half a month."

Su Fangzheng said coldly: "It's taking too long. If you delay, something might happen. I'll give you seven days at most."

The man in black bowed and accepted the order.
