Chapter 489: Chapter 490

When Gu Shao heard this, an aura flashed in his eyes and he coldly hummed, “That old piker Wei Xi! His Majesty was only forced to make concessions by the group of ministers in the court this morning, and he followed it up by coming to find meisn’t this a deliberate attempt to make His Majesty suspect me?!”

Brokenly whisking his sleeve, “Not to be seen! Tell someone to get rid of that man!”

The old servant complied and ordered someone to go and do it, and when he came back, he lamented a bit, “His Majesty is also too reckless! Such a big thing, did not discuss with you first, so he made his own decision! This is good, the whole court forced his majesty to make a concession, although you helped him to say that this is called readily accepting good advice, but how can all the ministers not feel that his majesty is getting more and more out of tune?”

“His Majesty is young, and it’s not uncommon for him to be indolent.” Gu Shao rubbed the corner of his forehead, his face unsightly, “But these people trying to find a way to fall on their sword isn’t a good thing either!”

He pondered for a while, said, “It is now October, and next month is the birthday of the Empress Dowager … Although the Empress Dowager replied that she should put things to rest, but the gap between the grandchildren and His Majesty in the end fell, so this is not good! Originally, this situation, the most suitable to intercede is the Grand Princess of Jin and Marquis Yan. However, the former is on her deathbed, so it’s not good for her to enter the palace; the latter was just reprimanded by His Majesty because of his wife, so she doesn’t dare to mention it. It would be better to have King Su and King Xiang return to the imperial capital to persuade them!”

“In the beginning, the late emperor specifically left his last orders to send these two kings to the feudal lands.” The old servant was surprised at his words, “The fear is that they stayed in the imperial capital to cause trouble, and now you are going to let them come back in case something goes wrong?”

Gu Shao shook his head and said: ”The reason why the late emperor wanted to send them far away in the first place was mainly because he was afraid that when the new emperor ascended to the throne, these two behindthescenes supporters would use their own force to disrupt the program! Furthermore, it was to make the new ruler’s heart feel better: the brothers who were once against the new ruler were not only passed on, but also couldn’t even stay in the imperial capital, and could only be sent far away to live in the middle of nowhere!”

“So that the new ruler, realizing that the late emperor had helped him to avenge his death, would be able to lighten up a bit in his desire to eradicate these two brothers!”

“But things are different now then, His Majesty has been going wrong one after another, and this part of the empire is in a bit of a mess.”

“How can we leave these two out there again, letting them slowly figure out how to fall on their asses while watching the fire from across the river?”

The old servant thought for a moment and said, ”But since the passing of the Dai Guo Grand Princess and her wife, King Xiang is no longer something to be feared! As for King Su, Empress Su, Su Shaoge, and Su Bofeng are all in the imperial capital, so King Su alone may not be able to make any waves! His Majesty is now in a difficult situation, if he sees that the two kings are still in the capital, he will probably do something unpopular! At that time, won’t it give Empress Su and her gang a chance?”

“If they want to have a chance, they have to have King Su alive!” Gu Shao laughed out coldly and said slowly, “Once King Su is dead, can the Su family still risk universal condemnation and openly rebel?!”

“The Su family has deep roots in the military, and in the northwest there are the Shen and Liu families hibernating, with unspecified minds.”

“Since He Wenqiong served as Secretary of the Ministry of War, although there are some achievements, this moment, in the end, it is impossible to erase all the influence of the Su family!”

“It’s a good thing that this man is very obedient to persuasion, and hasn’t cared about faraway places in the past two years, concentrating on enlisting the Imperial Forbidden Army to His Majesty’s side!”

“As long as the two kings of Su Xiang come to this imperial capital, if the Su family dares to make another move, we can’t help but disappoint the late emperor!”

Gu Shao exhaled and said in a chilling voice, “After all, when the late emperor first instructed me, he only said that he would do his best to preserve the royal brotherhood, but he didn’t say that he had to preserve the two kings of Su Xiang after all, the most important thing is still His Majesty!”

The old servant mused, “I’m only afraid that the Su family won’t agree.”

After a pause, “I’m afraid the Empress Dowager will not agree? The old slave these two days to listen to the people underneath say, said the palace passed the news out, these two days Su dowager queen excuse to ask for advice on the matter of selection, went to the Qingxi Palace two or three times, each time with the Dowager Empress Dowager alone a long talk. Master you know, the Dowager Empress Dowager is now on His Majesty ….”

“On the Empress Dowager’s side, I’ll go into the palace tomorrow and talk to her!” Gu Shao searched for a moment and sighed, “As for the Second King, this matter really can’t be delayed any longer! If it drags on, something big will have to happen!”

If Emperor Duanhua had been sitting firmly on the throne, keeping these two princes would have been just fine.

At best, the Emperor felt unhappy, and the general situation was still stable.

But now that Emperor Duanhua was tossing around so frequently, it was very much a sign that he was becoming more and more unpopular.

Then Gu Shao would have to put getting rid of these two kings on his agenda or else the throne would have to be replaced sooner or later!

Thinking of this, Gu Shao couldn’t help but frown, “Is this, in the end, intentional, or unintentional, Your Majesty?”

When Emperor Xianjia entrusted Gu Shao on the eve of his death, it was a private conversation between the emperor and the court alone, and even Emperor Duanhua was not allowed to serve at his side.

All because of the emperor in the consignment also mentioned su xiang two king, especially su king, “this I first son, yuan queen born, would like to treasure love for a lifetime, but the sky is not the year. Bias and its grudge with the crown prince, in the future, I hope that Gu Xiang more care, the future of wealth and nobility and regardless, can get a safe and sound end, do not let the Yuan after the white hair to send the black hair is good!”

Such words are of course not good for Emperor Duanhua to hear, after all, Emperor Xianjia said so, clearly not assured of Emperor Duanhua’s commitment to himself, so he also had to Gu Shao here to add a guarantee to King Su.

But Gu Shao’s performance in the past two years, the Duanhua Emperor should also vaguely guessed some of the even if the emperor himself can not guess, there are always people willing to remind the emperor, or through all kinds of “unintentional”, so that the emperor woke up on their own.

“The two kings of Su Xiang really can’t stay!” After realizing this, Gu Shao’s expression was completely cold, if Emperor Duanhua didn’t even trust himself as an auxiliary minister, with the emperor’s own talent, how could he sit on the throne for a long time?

However, Gu Shao wasn’t just suspicious of the two kings of Su Xiang, after all, the King of Liang also had a motive to pit Emperor Duanhua against him, as well as the Wei family that old man Wei Xi had just sent someone to try and increase Emperor Duanhua’s suspicion of him.

This feeling of being the enemy of the world, even Gu Shao felt pressurized and couldn’t help but concentrate on his thoughts.

At about the same time, Jihou House Jiguo Gong Su Nianyi “died of illness”, his eldest son Su Shaoxin inherited the title of Jihou, originally Su Shaoxin was to come to the imperial capital to mourn, incidentally to the Ministry of Rites to the inheritance of the title of the formalities to do away with, if he really came, there is no way to but to Into the palace to give Duanhua emperor to invite a peace to thank a grace or something.

But the Su family is worried by the Duanhua emperor a pot, so Jiguo Gong only died, that Su Shaoxin heard the news, then grief to the public fainted, and after that has been sick to death, to the present are legendary can not get up.

Although the death of his own father is a major event, being a son, or the firstborn son of Chengjue, how should not even attend the funeral ceremony.

However, there is a saying that the law is not outside the human feelings, Su Shaoxin looks like “today on the road, tomorrow will go down to the Yellow Springs”, the court is not good to be mean to urge him to have to God’s capital must not in the end, Jiguo Gong is not no descendants to preside over the funeral ceremony, his first second son and first eldest grandson are in the The Imperial Capital!

Because Su Shaoxin inherited the title, Jigongfu minus the overstepping system, still belongs to Su family.

At this moment in the backyard, Su Shaoge personally made tea, and nephew Su Bofeng talking, “Aunt today specially went to the dowager empress to try down the results are good, the dowager empress is indeed because of these two things, his majesty stored annoyed, although there is no clear hint, but has revealed the intention to be happy to see it come to fruition!”

“It seems Marquis Yan’s position in the Dowager Empress’ mind is not low!” Su Bofeng sipped his tea and mused, “Should we give it a push, so that the Dowager Empress will simply come over to our side?”

Su Shaoge shook his head and said: ”The Empress Dowager has experienced the palace palace disputes during His Majesty Emperor Huizong’s time, and is not someone that His Majesty can be fooled so easily! If you are too eager, you may end up making a mistake. Moreover, although the Empress Dowager has not indicated that she will help us, as long as she does not help His Majesty, it will be a good thing for us!”

“To start with Marquis Yan, why do we need to do anything directly?” Su Bo Feng puts down his tea bowl and explains, “Second uncle forgot about Mrs. Yan, oh, should we say Jane Song now? Although Jane Song’s life has been spared for various reasons, she has even had her title cut off, even if she doesn’t dare to resent His Majesty, is she not afraid that His Majesty will continue to settle old scores in the future? She has always been favored by Marquis Yan, if she can get his help ….”

“That’s why I said we don’t need to do anything more.” Su Shaoge guffawed, “Yokohama already has someone to help persuade Marquis Yan, so why do we need to do anything more?”

Su Bofeng said indistinctly, “Now His Majesty will have fun!”

“But it can’t be taken lightly yet!” Su Shaoge reminded, “In the end, he is the former emperor’s crown prince, the former emperor was wise for a lifetime, before he died, how could he not arrange a few more cards for him? Good thing that his younger brother is also a restless, and by Gu Shao revealed let’s let the Duke of Liang in the front of the road, just sit back and enjoy the good!”

Su Bofeng worried, “I’m afraid that Mr. Liang may not be willing to do so, right? He did not reveal his ambition before, naturally anxious to count on His Majesty’s father and son, so as to usurp the throne; but now he has been in the Imperial Prison, if it is not His Majesty’s intention to be lenient, this time at least will be a waste of the common people imprisoned for life, how would he dare to act rashly?”

Liang Guo Gong is not a fool, his true colors have not been revealed before, once the Duanhua Emperor and the Prince are tragic, he can Duanhua Emperor’s brother’s identity to assume the position, perhaps then also just to Duanhua Emperor’s father and son of the death of the Su Xiang two kings head, to kill the two brothers, stable throne!

But now we all know that he has not done little action since Emperor Duanhua came to power, busy busy busy usurping the throne once Emperor Duanhua’s father and son have another long and short, no matter whether it is not his doing, he will be good if he is not dragged down!

How can you hope to succeed the throne?

Even if we take a step back and say that he barely succeeded to the throne, the two kings of Su Xiang also happened to use the banner of avenging the Duan Hua Emperor’s father and son to rise up to support justice!

So whether or not this Duke of Liang has dispelled the idea of usurping the throne from now on, he will definitely hibernate for some time next.

The Su family wants him to trip … in front of him How easy is it?

However, Su Shaoge just laughed at his nephew’s worries, “Some things are done and can not be turned back, Liang Guo Gong wants to be good … asked the Empress Mother did not?”

He said slowly, “The Empress has fallen into such a situation today, Duke Liang, but the credit goes to him! Do you think that the Empress is now ‘recuperating’ in the Weiyang Palace, and the Wei family is also acting peacefully, so you have really forgotten about this grudge?”
