Chapter 228: Secretly Crossing Chencang Secretly Crossing Chencang

When walking in the palace, Su Fengzhang was always tense, but he would relax a little once he walked out of the palace. This was not because he respected the feudal monarchy, but because he felt uncomfortable inside the palace walls.

Prince Cheng walked side by side with him, and the two figures caught the attention of many people.

Some people were happy about it, while others were dissatisfied, but they did not dare to say anything in front of Prince Cheng, or even in front of Su Fengzhang. Everyone knew that these two were not easy to mess with.

Someone nudged Meng Ting and whispered, "Master Meng, aren't you and Master Su close friends? Why don't you try to persuade them?"

Meng Ting became impatient when he heard his tone and said coldly, "If you want to go, go by yourself. Don't bother me."

The lord did not expect him to be so rude and immediately held his breath: "I am also doing this for the good of Lord Su."

When it comes to verbal attacks, Meng Ting admits he's only ever lost to Su Fengzhang. He turned around and gave the man a thorough once-over, sneering, "Come on, your own life is a mess, and you still have the time to bother with others? Lord Su is eating your rice and drinking your water, so why is there any need for you to whine here?"

"You, you don't know how to appreciate a good person." The official cursed.

Meng Ting scratched his ears and said nonchalantly, "Then you must be a good person, right? You don't even bother to check your conscience before you say that. Oh, I almost forgot, Master Zhang, you have no conscience at all."

Master Zhang was furious and cursed, "Meng Ting, don't think I won't do anything just because you're the Fourth Prince's man."

Meng Ting sneered and said, "Whatever you want, just come at me."

Zhang's finger was shaking as he pointed at him: "You're just relying on your good relationship with Su Fengzhang."

Meng Ting looked at him strangely: "Just now you said I was the Fourth Prince's man, and now you're talking about Su Fengzhang. From what you said, it seems like I have the best of both worlds. So don't offend me, or I'll have to deal with both sides."

After saying that, Meng Ting flicked his sleeves and walked away angrily, not caring at all about the guy behind him whose face was red with anger.

What Lord Zhang didn't know was that if Meng Ting had some concerns before, he had become even more unscrupulous since he decided to quit his job. If there hadn't been so many things going on in the court recently, Meng Ting would have submitted his resignation long ago.

Su Fengzhang didn't know what happened behind him, but Meng Ting had mentioned to him that he wanted to return home.

At this moment, he happened to mention this matter to Prince Cheng: "Brother Meng has made up his mind. I'm afraid he will submit his resignation this month."

Prince Cheng did not have a very deep impression of Meng Ting. He only remembered that he was a talented and romantic man with a great reputation among the people. He also particularly liked to drink with Su Fengzhang and would visit the Su family from time to time.

After hearing this, he asked, "Why? Is it because you feel that your talent is not appreciated?"

Su Fengzhang shook his head and said, "Not really, it's just that he has no interest in the court."

Su Fengzhang could actually understand Meng Ting's feelings. He wanted to take revenge, but he didn't have the ability to turn the tide. He was very disappointed with the current Zhou court, and placed all his emotions on the mountains and rivers.

After all, Meng Ting is actually the most idealistic person among them. He has never suffered any hardship since he was a child. His circumstances changed drastically after he came to Beijing. Although he did not fall into despair, his enthusiasm was shattered to pieces.

Prince Cheng raised an eyebrow and simply reminded him, "If that's the case, I can't say much. There must have been a lot of changes in the court in recent months."

If you are interested in the court, if you stay a little longer, you might be able to seize the opportunity.

Su Fengzhang also mentioned it casually, then asked, "Your Majesty, it seems that His Majesty and the Fourth Prince have had many disagreements."

Prince Cheng scoffed, "Of course. Back then, my father doted on the deposed crown prince so much. He was also his and Empress Yuan's eldest son. When the deposed crown prince was powerful, my father was ruthless in suppressing him. Now, it's natural that he's even more so."

Su Fengzhang understood immediately and asked, "I just didn't expect the Fourth Prince to be so anxious."

Prince Cheng smiled and said, "The Emperor intends to have Fang Zhiwen return to the capital to take over the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

Fang Zhiwen, the prefect Fang of Qingzhou, the uncle of the Jade Concubine in the palace, and the eldest brother of the Ninth Prince. If he came back and joined the Ministry of Personnel, the Fang family would never be the same again.

Su Fengzhang subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to promote the Fang family?"

Prince Cheng nodded and said, "Yu Fei's father and eldest brother died early, so the only one left for promotion is Fang Zhiwen. Moreover, Fang Zhiwen was my father's study companion. When the Fang family was overthrown, Fang Zhiwen was able to survive and serve as an official. This shows how much my father loves him."

When Prince Cheng said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his words. If things were really good, how could the emperor sit idly by and watch such a tragedy happen to the Fang family, leaving only a few people behind in the end.

Another name flashed through Su Fengzhang's mind, the Fang family member who had great ambitions as mentioned by Prince Rong, and the biological father of Concubine Yu.

"Are there any conflicts between the Fang family and the Xu family?" Su Fengzhang asked.

Prince Cheng glanced at him and said with a smile, "How could that be? Back then, the Xu family was not worthy of being an enemy of the Fang family."

"Then why?" Su Fengzhang asked, "Is the Fourth Prince simply afraid that the Ninth Prince will grow up?"

Prince Cheng laughed and said, "This is just one of the reasons. I believe that the rift between my good fourth brother and the emperor is growing. He is just taking advantage of this incident to wrestle with each other and see who will win."

Su Fengzhang said: "No wonder His Majesty wants the prince to speak."

Prince Cheng laughed and said, "This matter has no benefit for me at all. Why should I offend the Fourth Master for nothing? Whether Fang Zhiwen returns or not is of no importance to me, the Empress, and the Yun Family."

"I'm afraid Concubine Yu won't think so." Su Fengzhang said.

Concubine Yu is the biological mother of the Ninth Prince. Even though she seems to be dependent on the Queen now, this woman who is willing to sacrifice herself to feed the tiger in order to avenge the Fang family is definitely not a weak woman like a dodder.

Prince Cheng simply said, "Concubine Yu is a smart woman. She knows that allowing Fang Zhiwen to come to the capital now will do her no good at all. Instead, it will easily put the Ninth Prince in danger."

Su Fengzhang pondered for a moment and then said, "If that's the case, the Fourth Prince will win. How can Your Majesty tolerate him if he wins?"

The emperor is the ruler of a country. Even if he is facing his own heir, even if the emperor has often been incompetent in the past, he will never like to see his son challenge his authority and win.

Su Fengzhang thought about this and couldn't help but frown and whispered, "By that time, His Majesty will definitely push the prince to come forward."

Prince Cheng laughed, "There's no point in pushing me out. Your Majesty knows about this, and so does my fourth brother."

Su Fengzhang frowned and suddenly looked at Prince Cheng: "Your Highness, please stop keeping me in suspense."

Prince Cheng laughed and said, "Hasn't Lord Su already guessed it?"

Su Fengzhang sighed and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this method a bit too dangerous?"

Prince Cheng patted his shoulder and said helplessly, "This is not my idea. Some people can't wait any longer. They don't want to accompany father and endure the days slowly."

These words were frightening, especially the implication behind them: "Your Majesty, who is the most anxious?"

Prince Cheng glanced at Su Fengzhang and asked, "Guess who it is?"

A name flashed through Su Fengzhang's mind. He didn't answer Prince Cheng's question and asked again, "If that's the case, I just hope that it won't affect the current layout and won't implicate innocent people."

Prince Cheng said, "So it's actually a good thing that Meng Ting resigned now."

After saying that, he patted Su Fengzhang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Su, if it weren't for you and Ah Jun's quick actions, they wouldn't dare to let go and do it. If this can be successful this time, you will be the great hero."

Su Fengzhang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that even if we eliminate our common enemy, our own people will become divided."

Prince Cheng said, "Don't worry, at least we will be united in the first few years. As for the future, it will depend on our ability."

Su Fengzhang asked, "How did Your Majesty know that we would still be working together in a few years?"

"Because we have the same goal, I will not change my original intention, and I believe Lord Su will not change either." Prince Cheng said with a smile.

After hearing this, Su Fengzhang couldn't help laughing.

When Su Fengzhang returned home, Su Zhaoshi, Su Huihui and Liu Neng were waiting for him to have dinner. As soon as Su Fengzhang came back, he said, "Why do you have to wait for me every day? There's no fixed time for me to come back every day."

Su Huihui smiled and said, "Second brother, if you didn't come back, you would definitely send someone back to tell us. We never waited in vain."

Liu Neng also shouted: "I just want to wait for Dad to have dinner together."

Su Fengzhang smiled and stroked his hair. Their family didn't have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, so they started chatting at the dinner table: "Calculating the time, shouldn't the results of the Lanzhang Mansion exam be delivered by now?"

Su Zhaoshi smiled and said, "He's probably on his way. With Lan Zhang's talent, he'll definitely pass the academy entrance exam."

Upon hearing this, Su Fengzhang smiled and said, "Mother does have confidence in him. When your son took the exam, you were extremely worried."

Su Zhaoshi laughed and said, "How can it be the same? Back then, I wasn't afraid that you would be upset if you didn't pass the exam. Who would have thought that my son would be so capable and come home with the top scorer in the exam?"

At this time, Liu Neng also shouted: "Dad, I want to pass the exam and become the top scorer by then."

Su Fengzhang smiled and said, "Then you must study hard. If you continue to get headaches whenever you read books and lose energy when you practice martial arts, then you will probably only be able to pass the martial arts exam."

Liu Neng said, "They are all the same as the top scorers."

Su Fengzhang had no obsession with his pursuit of either literature or martial arts, and even encouraged him, "Then I'll wait for Ah Neng to return home with the top prize."

After finishing the meal, Su Fengzhang accompanied Liu Neng to read for a while, and then Su Huihui came over to ask, "Second brother, has something happened in the court again?"

Su Fengzhang was impressed by his sister's sharpness and nodded, saying, "I'm afraid there will be more twists and turns in the crown prince's position."

Su Huihui also frowned, and finally said: "Second brother, you have to protect yourself."

Su Fengzhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Second Brother will protect himself. After all, if I can't even protect myself, how can I protect you?"

After a pause, Su Fengzhang continued, "A new batch of servants will arrive in the house in a few days. You will have to arrange for them then."

Su Huihui's expression froze, and she quickly said, "Second brother, I'll make the arrangements."
