From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life
Chapter 158 Politicians
By taking down the General's Mansion, on the one hand, they could take control of the military power, and on the other hand, they could follow the clues to Madam Li's family.
At that time, he would kill two birds with one stone and gain both money and power, which would be a hundred benefits for the new emperor with no harm at all.
Tian Yu then asked: "What is your father's attitude?"
After all, he has the final say in the General's Mansion. If he wants to distance himself from it, it is not a bad idea for him to retreat while the tide is turning.
"Even if your father wants to distance himself from the matter now, it's probably too late." Mrs. Li sighed.
Tian Yu understood. General Chen must have been deeply involved in many cases over the years. If you pull out the radish, you will bring out the mud. It is certain that such a big general's mansion must be not clean.
"In the Yu Mansion, this is a big disaster." Tian Yu said, and turned two pages of the account book.
"But isn't it also beyond the emperor's control?" Tian Yu looked at Madam Li with sharp eyes.
"I wonder how the new emperor's condition is now?"
"It's hard to say. Your father is also anxious. Those in the court who know about this are looking for famous doctors." Madam Li was not going to hide it from Tian Yu.
Tian Yu suddenly sorted out some things.
"Father hasn't been seeing guests these days, but I received a note. Should I inform him about this?" Tian Yu didn't mention who sent the note, but he probably couldn't hide it from Mrs. Li.
"Your father should be back home early today. If you have nothing to do, go to his study and ask him about his homework." Madam Li is also an experienced person. She knows her daughter's thoughts very well.
"Yes." Tian Yu looked at the account book carefully. The more he looked, the more frightened he became about the financial situation of Madam Li, or the general's mansion.
Later, Mrs. Li seemed a little tired, so she asked Tian Yu to go to General Chen's study.
Tian Yu was about to step out of the door when she suddenly heard Madam Li calling her from behind.
"Jing'er, this family has a symbiotic relationship." She looked at Tian Yu with bright eyes.
"Your father is the bright one, so I have to be the dark one in this family. Do you understand?"
Tian Yu bowed and saluted: "My daughter understands."
Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction, and Tian Yu walked towards the general's study.
"Father." Tian Yu was always a little nervous in front of General Chen. This man was not a warrior. He had a murderous aura and shrewd calculations.
"Sit down." General Chen nodded.
"Are you satisfied with the coming-of-age gift your uncle gave you?" He spoke first, very directly.
"I am satisfied, but I still feel a little nervous when thinking about this favor." Tian Yu answered truthfully.
General Chen smiled when he heard this.
"Although you are a girl, in my father's eyes, all my sons and daughters are the same. I just teach them according to their abilities."
"Your eldest brother has been aggressive since he was young, but he only has the courage of a warrior. Although your second brother is good at scheming, he is a little weak."
General Chen's evaluation of his own daughter was extremely insightful.
"So, one of these two people needs to temper his temper, and the other needs to strengthen his body, but in the end, both are talented people for careers in government."
"You and your sister, you are as good as men in martial arts and literary talent. Although your sister is not as smart as you, her ambition is much clearer than yours. She has her own ideas about the world. Although I don't want my daughter to use her beauty to please others, she knows how to use her advantages very well."
"Of all these grown-up brothers and sisters, you are the only one who has always been confused."
These words made Tian Yu break out in a cold sweat.
General Chen knows his children too well. Their future and development depend on their own character. The scary thing about General Chen is that he completely indulges his children's ambitions.
He was the chief military commander, secretly wealthy, and devotedly educated his children. These actions were like those of a purely ambitious man.
"You have reached the age of 15, do you know what you want to do?" General Chen's gaze was too sharp, piercing straight into Tian Yu's heart, making it extremely difficult for her to continue acting.
"I didn't know it before, but I know it now." Tian Yu nodded.
"Then tell me about it." General Chen nodded.
"Jing'er has been protected by his family since he was a child. He has been well-dressed and well-fed. He is also a casual person. Naturally, he doesn't have any big ambitions."
"But it is precisely because of this that I don't want to lose everything after I sensed the storm. If there is anything I want to do, it is to protect the Chen family."
Tian Yu's purpose was indeed the same. What she wanted to do most was to complete her task, and what she said was true.
"Okay!" After hearing this, General Chen suddenly smiled.
"What did your mother teach you today?"
Tian Yu answered truthfully about his gains over the past few days.
"My daughter is smart. It will be easy for her to learn the accounts." General Chen praised.
Then he said, "Originally, I was going to hand these over to your second brother, but although he is very smart, he is not a tough guy."
"Your mother and I have been through thick and thin together for many years. Although she is a woman, her skills are beyond the reach of ordinary men. Father originally sighed that you have not inherited this character."
"Your dream is quite bold."
“Although there are rulers and subjects in this world, blind loyalty is the most unacceptable.”
General Chen's words were so bold that Tian Yu had a lot of associations.
"Since the princess has invited you, then you should go. It would be bad to offend her." He did not ask Tian Yu about this, but he could not escape it.
Only when he returned to his own yard did Tian Yu dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
She now knew very well why the Chen family perished.
General Chen appears to be loyal on the surface, but he is actually very calculating behind the scenes. He is a true politician.
In today's era, this is an absolute crime that could lead to the extermination of an entire family.
There is no sign of disloyalty among the Chen family. To put it bluntly, although this family has the etiquette of monarch and subject, based on their words and actions in recent days, they always put their own interests before the royal family.
The General's Mansion is a family of politicians with one mind and one purpose.
Judging from the meaning of the conversation between General Chen and Madam Li today, the person in the Chen family's secretive life might become a big deal in the blink of an eye.
It is true to say that the eldest brother has already entered the court as an official, the second brother is already taking the imperial examination and is not sinister enough. The younger sister is smart, but she wants to enter the palace. The only person of the right age is Yu Jing.
If Tian Yu wants to truly gain the right to speak in the General's Mansion and advance Task One, it all depends on how he performs when Feng Yu comes.
Princess, maybe this is an opportunity.
With the recent developments in the mansion, I'm afraid someone has already sensed the storm in the general's mansion. The teacher's illness and the mansion's closing of doors to visitors are a signal. The eldest princess dares to invite him at this time, and she must have other intentions.
"Chun Ling!" Tian Yu called out.
"Pick out the pair of jade pots that my uncle sent as a gift for my coming of age that day."
Tian Yu gave the order and decided that the flower viewing banquet in a few days should be her chance.
The previous failures of the General's Mansion could probably be called a failure at the critical juncture. In Qiu Niang's memory, in the eighth year of Shunhe, where was the figure of the eldest princess?
After intensive preparations, the day of the flower viewing banquet finally arrived.
Tian Yu and Chen Shengqing, who also received an invitation, got on the carriage together.
In Nanshan, a graceful and elegant woman was waiting here lazily.
