After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Wen Zhimiao felt that his face had never been so hot.

But when I thought about it, there was no one else here, and I felt a little relieved.

Shi Wanyue waited for the shy Crown Prince to calm down, and the two of them got up to have lunch. They rested for a while at noon, and went to pick some wild fruits in the afternoon before returning.

After returning, Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue went together to distribute some fruits to Duan Jiling. When they were sending Shi Wanyue back home, they happened to meet Jiang Yiyu.

Jiang Yiyun warmly invited Wen Zhimiao to have dinner together.

Faced with his grandmother's enthusiastic invitation, Wen Zhimiao had no choice but to stay for dinner before going back.

When Wen Zhimiao returned to the palace, it was already very late. She did not go to find Yun Zhou and Su Qingluo, but went straight back to her own palace.

When he went to take a shower, he took a look at the marks left by Shi Wanyue. The mirror was much clearer now than when Wen Zhimiao just came over, and Wen Zhimiao could also clearly see the marks on his collarbone.

The whole person was on fire again.

Although she came from the future, she has never been in a relationship!

Looking at the marks on his body, Wen Zhimiao couldn't help but think of all sorts of things.

The more I thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. In the end, I stayed in the water for a long time before I finally got rid of those thoughts.

I had a lot of messy dreams that night and didn’t sleep well.

When I wake up I still want to spit on myself.

But there is an early morning court session, so I can’t continue to sleep.

He was still in a trance during the morning court session. He looked silent and stern, but in fact he was just in a daze.

It was not until they heard the news that the Su family had requested to fight that people came to their senses.

A few days ago, he was still opposing the war in order to show his benevolence, but now he is asking for war to show his bravery and he doesn't want the credit to be taken by others.

Not many people knew about Su Qingluo cursing in Hande Hall yesterday. Only a few people knew about it. The Su family's request for battle really came at the right time.

Wen Zhimiao looked like he was enjoying the show, and just listened quietly without interrupting.

[It's over, Joker.]

[You want all the benefits, ugh.]

[Shame on you.]

[Not only do they want all the benefits, they also hope that the bloodline of the Su family will be passed down in your lineage, and all the benefits will be given to this lineage.]

The people in power in the Su family, whether in the court or in other areas, are all from the lineage of Su Xingwei and Su Jincheng, including those in the military camp.

They say they are a family, but in fact they don’t give many opportunities to other people, such as Su Yubing.

As far as Wen Zhimiao knew, the Su family was already trying to send some of Su Xingwei's peers to the military camp.

In addition, he is also striving for a position related to food and fodder.

Su Qingluo had never given any member of the Su family a very high position in order to prevent them from becoming too arrogant. Except for Su Xingwei's father, Su Zong, who was the fourth-rank official in the Imperial Clan Affairs Bureau, no one else had a higher position.

But a low position does not mean that one cannot make a profit. Some seemingly low-level official positions may actually make it easier to do things.

It is enough to have one in the higher position. Although Su Qingluo had no intention of replacing Su Zong after he was demoted, it did not prevent the Su family from having many children and disciples in the court.

If the Su family is really successful in their request for war this time, then the Su family will reach a higher level. Perhaps they will not be a threat to Su Qingluo now, but in the future, who knows, the person that the Su family really wants to send to the throne may actually have the ability to seize the throne, after all, he has the support of such a large family.

The plan was a good one, but unfortunately, they didn't expect that Su Qingluo had already started to deal with them.

After listening to this, Su Qingluo did not agree, but said that she still needed to consider it.

It was obvious that the Emperor did not look very happy, the Queen sat beside him and said nothing, and it was unclear whether the Crown Prince had heard anything or not. No one else dared to say anything.

The task of selecting generals was still left to the Privy Council.

After the morning court session, while having dinner, Wen Zhimiao couldn't help but complain that the people in the Su family had beautiful ideas.

But I only said a few words and didn't say much more. After all, discussing these things while eating would affect my appetite.

Only after they finished eating did Su Qingluo ask her to go to Hande Hall.

As soon as they entered, Su Qingluo asked Jiang Shuyu to pass the memorial to Wen Zhimiao. Wen Zhimiao took the memorial and glanced at it: "You embezzled military pay and yet you dare to ask for battle."

"You do have military merits, but they don't outweigh the crimes you committed, do they?"

In the early years, those members of the Su family who followed Su Qingluo's mother and father did have some military achievements. Later, when the current King of Beirong just came to power, he also had some military achievements.

But things changed later.

They colluded with the generals of the Northern Rong and induced each other to fight, making the imperial court feel uneasy on the border. The border still needed them very much. After all, if the situation was too peaceful, the military generals might be ignored.

Wen Zhimiao, who had experienced the Wen Dynasty, also understood the anxiety of these generals, but harming soldiers and civilians to increase their own merits and embezzling military pay were already serious crimes.

If the imperial court did nothing, it would be fine to use such means to maintain stability on the border and protect the interests of the soldiers.

But these people from the Su family only wanted to add to their own military merits. Moreover, the imperial court not only did not ignore the military generals, but instead attached great importance to them, with a considerable amount of funding allocated every year.

It is not okay to be greedy in such a situation.

"Mother, since the Su family is so incompetent, why did grandma and grandpa help them back then? Without the help of grandma and grandpa, the Su family would not have been able to get back on its feet, and they wouldn't have harmed you later." Wen Zhimiao still didn't understand.

"Because your grandfather was also ignorant about these things. Your grandmother tried to stop him, but your grandfather still felt that he couldn't survive long-term without the support of the family. He was taught since he was a child that he and the family are one." Su Qingluo said it bluntly.

Wen Zhimiao nodded in understanding: "Yes, this is also the case with many older families nowadays, so I can't blame my grandfather entirely."

"Generally speaking, the success of children from large families is inseparable from the support of their families. It's just that grandparents are a little different. After all, military commanders are more concerned with strength."

"That's right." Su Qingluo also nodded slightly.

"Not all the people in the Su family are like this. For example, Su Yunjie is an upright and capable person." Su Qingluo said softly.

"So mother just wants to wipe out the Su family and doesn't want the Su family to be completely defeated, right?" Wen Zhimiao asked.

"Miao Miao, your grandfather's idea is not entirely wrong. In this world, even if you are an emperor, you cannot completely rely on your relatives. Your future children may not have a blood relationship with the Su family, but the connection between clans is still very deep here, because this is not the future."

After Wen Zhimiao thought about it carefully, he felt that this was indeed the case. At the current stage, the family interests were indeed deeply connected.

"My son, I understand."

"But you can't let yourself be controlled by the family behind you. The Su family can only be your knife. It only has meaning when it can be used by you." Su Qingluo reminded her again.

"Then why did mother raise them before?" Wen Zhimiao still didn't understand.

Su Qingluo chuckled: "If you compare the Su family with the former royal family, they didn't make any big mistakes, did they? At most, those people on the border were a little immature, but what they did was not done after I ascended the throne. I did the same thing before I ascended the throne."

"understood."

Su Qingluo was going to punish the Su family because they were disobedient.
