After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Shangguan Zhu didn't expect Zhao Ying to be here. He was stunned for a moment, then greeted Zhao Ying.

"Sister-in-law is here too..." Shangguan Zhu looked a little unnatural.

Zhou Changsheng glanced at Shangguan Shu inconspicuously. He was tall and slender, not wearing an official robe. His temperament was like green bamboo and green pine, neither humble nor arrogant.

He didn't look like he had just done something bad.

The atmosphere in the study became subtle due to the arrival of these two people.

Originally, Zhao Ying should have wisely left and let them talk about business, but after listening to Yue'er's voice, she decided not to leave.

Zhao Ying responded with a faint smile, "Second Uncle is here?"

Shangguan Zhu nodded and glanced at Zhou Changsheng, "I met Changsheng at the door. Changsheng was just about to come and pay his respects to brother, so I followed him."

Zhou Changsheng bowed and said, "That's right."

Shangguan Shu frowned. Since everyone was here, if he just chased them away, it would seem that he was guilty.

He only hoped that Shangguan Zhu could be more sensible and Yue'er could talk less.

Shangguan Shu exchanged a few pleasantries, then asked Yu Xi to serve tea and asked Shangguan Zhu and Zhou Changsheng to sit down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them sat down, what Shangguan Shu was worried about happened.

Shangguan Qingyue sat alone on a chair, his chin propped up by his small hand, his big eyes moving back and forth between the three men, [Let me think, is it the part where Daddy murdered the Crown Prince's uncle? I remember that this Zhou Changsheng was Daddy's spy...]

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Shu and Shangguan Zhu felt like their buttocks were stuck with nails, and they hunched over and couldn't sit down anymore.

Shangguan Shu and Shangguan Zhu couldn't help but glance at Zhao Ying.

His eyes were filled with vigilance and guilt.

Shangguan Shu is even worse!

It's over! It's over!

He had just seen the dawn of reconciliation, but he was about to be beaten back to his original state again.

He couldn't help but resent Shangguan Zhu in his heart. He always caused trouble for him. Why did he bother with him? He didn't have to comfort his wife and children every day. Did he know how long his brother had been without a wife and children?

Zhou Changsheng didn't know what was going on and was wondering what Shangguan Shu and the other two were doing. He stood up puzzled and looked at his chair... There was nothing on it, so why didn't he sit down?

Zhou Changsheng didn't dare to ask, but just guessed silently in his heart.

Could it be hemorrhoids?

What a coincidence, the two brothers had hemorrhoids at the same time...

Zhou Changsheng was a man who was used to taking advantage of every opportunity to flatter and curry favor with his superiors. When he saw that both of his superiors had hemorrhoids, he immediately made a secret note of it in his mind and planned to go back and find a good prescription to give to his two superiors.

Zhao Ying had a serious face but didn't say anything.

He just glanced indifferently at Shangguan Qingyue opposite him.

Shangguan Qingyue was indeed her sweetheart. She told him the whole story and even analyzed it. Shangguan Shu kept shaking his head with a blank face, and Shangguan Zhu was sweating so much that her shirt was soaked...

[Daddy deliberately gave Zhou Changsheng to Uncle Prince, so that he could strike Uncle Prince in return after gaining his trust!]

[If I remember correctly, the imperial examination leak case happened in the past few days. The prince's uncle was reprimanded by the emperor's grandfather for this matter. Most of his loyal staff died. The prince's uncle lost the hearts of the scholars in the world and almost lost his position as the prince. It was my grandfather who joined forces with the four great dukes to intercede for the prince's uncle and saved his position as the prince! ]

[Haha, the son set up the trap, but the dad messed it up! ]

Zhao Ying's eyes flickered slightly. She didn't expect that her father-in-law was so loyal to her Zhao family. It was really a case of good things turning into bad things. How come none of his three sons were good people!

[This Zhou Changsheng is really a shady old villain. He had nothing to do with the fact that he tricked his uncle, the Crown Prince, into leaking the exam questions. He instigated his uncle to get close to Prime Minister Liu. Prime Minister Liu's students and former officials are all over the country, and he is a role model for the poor scholars in the world. Prime Minister Liu is a loyal minister, and he made friends with him because he thought his father was loyal to the Great Chu.]

[Liu Xiang was completely disappointed with his uncle because he thought his uncle didn't like him, so he completely sided with his father, overthrew the crown prince, and supported the new emperor.]

Shangguan Zhu looked at Shangguan Shu and indicated with his eyes: ...what are you going to do next, big brother?

Shangguan Shu raised his eyelids and closed them: Well, that was originally the plan...

The two exchanged glances and then looked at Shangguan Qingyue.

With Zhao Ying here, they dared not interrupt Shangguan Qingyue even if their teeth were about to break.

Shangguan Qingyue became more and more excited as he thought about it, his face flushed. [In the end, it was found out that it was Zhou Changsheng who did it. Zhou Changsheng burst into tears in front of the palace and began to frame his uncle, saying that it was his uncle who ordered him to do it, and that his uncle deliberately messed up the imperial examination because he did not like the imperial examination system. He liked the recommendation system. He even made up a story, saying that his uncle the prince said, "If a beggar can become an official and govern a country by studying, and is above a nobleman, isn't that absurd?"]

[Because everyone knew that Zhou Changsheng was the confidant of the Crown Prince's uncle, his words did not arouse suspicion. Because of this sentence, the Crown Prince's uncle completely chilled the hearts of scholars all over the world! ]

[Although leaking the imperial examination questions is a serious crime, it does not lead to the dethronement of the crown prince. This is just a lead-in. The purpose of arguing with Liu Xiang is just to make the matter bigger. The ultimate goal is to draw out Zhou Changsheng's words.]

[The emperor's grandfather was also extremely disappointed with the prince's uncle. How could a prince who was not trusted by the world have a future? Regardless of whether this statement came from the prince's mouth or not, once it was spread, coupled with the fact that the prince's uncle did leak the question, the statement became more credible. Therefore, the emperor's grandfather thought about deposing the prince. ]

[Originally, Daddy killed two birds with one stone by using Zhou Changsheng to exchange for Prime Minister Liu's defection and the downfall of the Crown Prince... But he forgot about his own father.]

[Although the prince's uncle was not tolerated by scholars all over the world, he did please the royal family and the noble families, headed by the dukes. They all believed that if the prince ascended the throne, it would ensure that their noble families would be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of their lives, and their descendants would not be robbed of their official positions by those poor scholars.]

[I thought it was a power struggle, but it turned out to be a struggle between two classes. In the end, the aristocracy prevailed. ]

[After all, scholars from poor families have not yet entered the government, and the noble ministers are the ones who are in power and do things now. What if they are irritated and go on strike? ]

[For this reason, the emperor's grandfather killed all the staff who gave advice to the prince, and put all the blame on them. The prince is still the prince with a clean record, which is an explanation to the scholars of the world! ]

[Since then, the prince's uncle's temperament has changed drastically. He has become violent and suspicious, and has become a famous cruel prince and tyrant in the history of the Great Chu! ]

[In short, the prince uncle has turned evil...]

After Shangguan Qingyue finished speaking, Shangguan Zhu secretly swallowed his saliva. Although this game failed, the effect was very great. It was really wonderful.

His elder brother is really a natural born entrepreneur! !

Shangguan Zhu then felt regretful. Why did he come when his sister-in-law was around? He asked Yue'er to tell all their plans to him. Would it still work?

Not only is it no longer usable, but now I don’t know how to explain it to my sister-in-law!

Shangguan Zhu felt a headache just thinking about it.

Although they escaped danger last time, they also paid a heavy price.

Come again this time?

Shangguan Zhu looked at Shangguan Shu worriedly.

Shangguan Shu's face turned livid, and he glared at him angrily, then said in a deep voice: "I have something else to do, you guys go first!"

After saying that, before they could react, Shangguan Shu called Yu Xi and Yu Jie over, which was almost like kicking them out.

Shangguan Zhu was happy to leave, leaving the difficult problem completely to his elder brother.

Zhou Changsheng was still unaware of the situation and thought that Shangguan Shu's hemorrhoids were so severe that he couldn't even see guests.

Out of his desire to flatter Shangguan Shu, he was also anxious to go back and find a prescription for treatment, so he did not stay.

"Since the prince has something to do, I will come next time!"

Then he said to Zhao Ying, "I will take my leave."
