At the tender age of eight, he was hastily dragged out and made emperor!

"Have the people from the Imperial Household Department still not gone to Princess Wu'an's residence?"

Duke Rong's Mansion.

study.

Sun He looked surprised at the middle-aged man in front of him. This result was clearly beyond Sun He's expectations. This shouldn't be happening. This is impossible!

"My lord, no one is going."

The middle-aged man, knowing why Sun He was acting this way, respectfully raised his hand and bowed.

"Ha~"

Sun He smiled, and his eyes changed.

Such a big thing happened, and the two traitors, Xiong and Feng, who were imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court, committed suicide. Sun He refused to believe it even if he were beaten to death. How could he not know the temperament of his two cousins?

If I really wanted to die, I would have died long ago.

Why wait until now?

Sun He was absolutely certain of one thing: her two cousins ​​harbored resentment and wanted to see one of them to question her about why she hadn't chosen them in the first place.

But it all ended before it even happened.

“Back then, I only misspoke by saying one sentence, and because of that one sentence, the Empress Dowager has distanced herself from me and no longer trusts me,” Sun He said, extending his hand to the middle-aged man.

"Fine! It is indeed my fault. I was wrong to only think about the stability of the country and ignore the feelings of the Empress Dowager and my own status. But what right does Liu Chen have?!"

"The Empress Dowager's own son, who was ordered to be tried in the case of the rebellious prince, committed suicide in the Court of Imperial Clan Affairs under such circumstances and political climate. Who would really believe this if it got out?!"

The middle-aged man sighed inwardly, knowing better than anyone why his master was acting this way.

Despite his position as Grand Marshal and General, still holding significant power and influence in the central government, even Xu Chu dared not easily antagonize him.

But some things can't be viewed so simply.

The Sun family is not as good as before.

It all started with Sun Bin dividing the family property. In the past, Sun He and his brothers did not divide their own houses after they got married; they continued their father's property. This was not Sun He's idea, but rather his father's instruction before his death.

There are many rules in large clans, especially when it comes to interests, which are clearly defined. However, in many situations, personal interests must be sacrificed in order to protect the core interests of the clan. This can lead to many problems, but once the clan head gives an order, no one's complaints or grievances will matter.

Sun Bin's decision to split up the family business illustrates this point.

In the future, if he feels that something is wrong or unacceptable, he will not blindly obey Sun He's words as he did in the past. He will still be a member of the Sun family, but he will establish his own separate household.

Because of Sun He's disturbance, Marquis Jingyang Sun Miao and Marquis Zhengyang Sun Ji also divided their property. This disturbance among the main branches of the family had a great impact on the other branches of the Sun family.

Nobody knows why this happened.

But Sun He, as the person involved, knew everything perfectly well.

This was all punishment imposed on him by his aunt for the wrongdoings he had done in the past. Sun He even understood that his aunt was making some preparations.

What to prepare?

Isn't this all paving the way for her own grandson?!

"Why is this happening?!"

Sun He slammed his fist on the table in anger. He couldn't understand it. "A prince consort who is about to marry a princess has done something so outrageous! People from the Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Six Doors have all gone to the Court of Imperial Clan Affairs, but he, the Grand Minister of the Court of Imperial Clan Affairs, has run back without a care in the world! Aunt, what are you thinking?!"

"My lord, please watch your words!!"

The middle-aged man was shocked upon hearing this and hurriedly advised, "There are too many suspicious points in this matter. You can't do this, what if..."

"Do you think I can't see it?"

Sun He sneered and stared at the middle-aged man, saying, "If those two are alive, Xu Chu will definitely not let this go. Doesn't this guild know what kind of person that old thief is?"

"If my guess is correct, this matter is inextricably linked to the Yu Palace!"

The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically.

When he learned of this, he had some suspicions, but he was not sure. After all, this was a big deal, and without direct evidence, he dared not make any conclusions.

"If the people from the Imperial Household Department don't go, the truth will never be found out."

Sun He continued, "Even a powerful institution like the Secretariat cannot send anyone. If that old scoundrel Xu Chu were to actually do something so stupid, then I would be blind."

Sun He was annoyed because he had guessed some things, but he didn't intend to spread them. However, he wanted to see what his aunt would do.

Despite the turmoil of the past three years, the core interests of the Sun family have not been damaged, but they have not been increased either. If everyone around him is the same, Sun He might not think much about anything else.

But that's not the case.

In particular, the change of the four Grand Generals made Sun He realize that while his aunt might still have feelings for the Sun family, they no longer cared for him.

This was unacceptable to Sun He, who was proud of his character.

He is the true head of the Sun family in this era.

"My lord, in any case, my intention is to wait and see how things unfold." Despite Sun He's anger, the middle-aged man, though shocked, still tried to persuade him.

"Given the current situation, the more we do, the more mistakes we make. Besides, with such a big incident, Xu Chu has yet to make a move, and everyone in the court is just watching and waiting."

"I'm not that stupid."

Sun He snorted coldly and looked at the middle-aged man, saying, "Go to the Grand Commander's Mansion and tell him that I am ill and need to recuperate here. I want to see what else might happen in the central government."

"Yes."

The middle-aged man immediately bowed and said...

Sun He felt aggrieved by the Empress Dowager's estrangement. He never thought of betraying his aunt, nor did he think of anything else.

But being in this complex central hub, many things cannot be done the way you want them to be.

Sun He longed to fight on the battlefield, but his status and position meant that he didn't need to be involved in ordinary battles.

In the past, whether it was the invasion of the northern barbarians or the invasion of the Nanzhao Kingdom, there had been more than one crisis. Although he had volunteered to fight several times, Sun Li chose to ignore it.

“Aunt, just because of one mistake, are you so heartless as to want to trap your nephew?” In the study, Sun He clenched his fists, his face showing resentment.

"What exactly do you want your nephew to do to forgive me? None of the things I did in the past harmed the Great Yu state, but they all benefited the Sun family. Did I really do something wrong?"

Having spent a long time in the central government, Sun He understood better than anyone else that while the central government was solid, power was fluid. If you didn't fight for it, you would inevitably be trampled on. Even if you had a title, what good was it if you didn't have power? It was just an empty title. Forget about several generations; even if you had one or two generations, you would be left behind by others.

But now, some things have changed.

As soon as Sun He thought about this, he knew he couldn't make a mistake. If he did, his son would not be able to carry on the family line, and the clan honor he had always pursued would be at risk of being lost. If that were the case, then everything he had done and insisted on in the past would become the biggest joke.

He's a father too, and he doesn't want his child to be looked down upon in the future!
