Chapter 557 Why Everyone Wants to Rebelε=(′ο`*)))
At that time, the two people were completely unaware that there was a pair of eyes watching them in the dark, and they were still talking to themselves.
Su Qian asked slowly, "You have been on the run for many years because of escaping marriage, why are you thinking of returning to the capital today? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will find out and sentence you for deceiving the emperor?"
"My father sent me a message saying that the situation in Yanjing is unpredictable right now. Prince Yuan rebelled, and although he was suppressed by the emperor, there are still many people in the royal family who are dissatisfied with the emperor's tyranny. The emperor has only three sons, Prince Yuan has been deposed, and the other two are not of any significance."
The man slowly sat down in front of Su Qian, and continued in a low voice: "Brother An, look at the court. There are only a few people who can be used. The emperor is just holding on with a deadly weapon. I don't know whether I can be convicted of deceiving the emperor at that time!"
Su Qian lowered his eyes and did not speak. He just held the lid of the teacup and slowly rubbed it back and forth along the rim, as if he was lost in thought.
Seeing this, the man's eyes flashed with sarcasm. "I know that Andy has been patient for many years and lacks courage. So I don't force you to help me. I got a message this afternoon that the emperor is about to hold an imperial examination. I guess he wants to use this examination to pave the way for the future crown prince. If Andy is willing, I'd like to share a piece of the pie."
Su Qian'an tilted his eyes and stared at the man deeply, only to hear him say: "Talented people should be controlled in their own hands."
The man made a bold statement: "When our great cause is accomplished in the future, you and I will become princes, not just small marquises now, and we will be grateful to the tyrant for not killing us."
Then, he continued to persuade them, "Look, there are only a few dukes left in Yanjing City now. Even a noble family like the Gao family was demoted to commoners because of Princess Anping, and three generations were not allowed to enter the officialdom. It's a pity that Gao Jiuru, who was originally a prime minister, was extremely talented and well-educated, but was also made a eunuch by the tyrant's decree."
Su Qi'an's eyebrows moved slightly, and he sighed softly, "My father said that the emperor's temper is much better than in previous years. In a few years, after I inherit the family business of this marquisate, it won't be too late to build a career. When the emperor needs talents, I will naturally have a chance to come forward."
As soon as these words were spoken, the man burst into laughter, and a hint of irony filled the private room.
He leaned over to Su Qian'an's ear and said sarcastically, "Brother Andi, do you think I will believe this? You married the daughters of the Pu family and the Xie family, and you have both wealth and power. Even though the Pu family has declined and the Xie family is about to collapse, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Brother Andi, I'm afraid the emperor has already seen through your ambitions."
Su Qian'an's eyes flashed with anger, but he quickly suppressed it, still with a gentle smile on his face: "I will give you a satisfactory answer after I return home and discuss this matter with my father in detail."
Hearing this, the man smiled with satisfaction, picked up the teapot on the table, and filled himself a cup of fragrant tea. As the tea slowly poured into the cup, the clear and pleasant sound brought an end to this outrageous conversation.
Xiao Yining, who had heard the whole shocking story between the two of them, had her mouth wide open, unable to believe her incredible luck.
If you go out, you may encounter others planning a rebellion.
The little girl couldn't help but look up at her father, wanting to see his reaction.
It was a pity that Lin Yuzan’s expression remained the same. Noticing her daughter’s gaze, she smiled and said, “Qing Jie, what do you want to ask? There is a huge rat living in this cave. You must take a look.”
After saying that, he even touched his daughter's curious little head.
Xiao Yining: ....., are you trying to fool a three-year-old? You don't even have a plausible excuse for lying.
She pursed her lips unhappily, and put her little hand into her father's palm, saying, "Dad, Qingjie doesn't want to play anymore."
Let it be, this kind of thing is not something a little girl like her can worry about. She can only wait for a chance to remind her uncle and let him deal with it.
Xiao Yining had something important on his mind, and he was distracted during the following song and dance performance.
In addition, after she returned to her seat, her father suddenly showed his fatherly love and held her the whole time, preventing her from running around, which further ruined her mood. In the end, she could only wilt in his arms and gradually fell asleep, not even knowing when she returned home.
However, she was confident that after tonight, the entire Yanjing would know that she was brought to Huichun Tower by her parents to celebrate her title of princess.
It was quiet late at night. Lin Yuzan put the last stroke on the paper and then began to examine it carefully.
Wang Cheng came up to take a look, then frowned and said, "It seems like this person has never appeared in Yanjing before."
Lin Yuzan put the portrait aside to dry. "Since neither you nor I have seen him, let Pei Yi show it to the two Pei stewards tomorrow. This man must have escaped after being granted marriage. He is also the son of a marquis and rarely appears in public. The two eunuchs will definitely recognize him."
Wang Cheng nodded slightly, and then said with emotion: "Although we have done many things, it has only muddied the waters for Yanjing. We have not yet found out where the private soldiers of King Yu are, so we cannot let down our guard."
Lin Yuzan lowered his head and thought for a moment: "It should be soon. Yu Fugui has sent news that King Yu's assets in the south have grown several times in the past year, and a large amount of money has gone to unknown places, but if we can find out the general situation, it is possible. Then we will have another achievement."
Then, he changed the subject and said, "Although we have clipped some of this man's wings, we still cannot take him lightly. The situation in Yanjing is treacherous and changeable. The former crown prince, the royal family, and various forces may all become his helpers. The news of the grace test that man just obtained must have been revealed to him by Prince Yu."
Wang Cheng was silent for a moment, then he sighed tiredly, put all the items on the desk on the stool, and lay down on the desk steadily: "Let's talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow, Shunan, I have to prepare for the exam, I need to study hard day and night, and I have no time for other things. You too, stay in the study tonight, I have already told Wan Niang that she doesn't need to leave the door open for you. And don't go over and bother Qing Jie'er and Wan Niang."
After saying this, he placed his hands on his abdomen and closed his eyes peacefully.
Lin Yuzan: ...
"(Fuck you), Wang Shuzhi, you despicable villain, I will never coexist with you!"
