Song Chi transmigrated, becoming the son of the reigning Chief Grand Secretary. He aspired to a life of beautiful wives and concubines, an idle playboy who muddled through life, but instead became ...
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Song Chi asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate against you if I become a high-ranking official?"
Song Shiwen was stunned for a long time before he smiled and said, "You are still very young. It will take a long time for you to reach a high position. Besides, can you be higher than my father, the Prime Minister?"
"There is no bond in this world closer than blood. There are some gaps between you and me, but that's nothing. No matter what, it doesn't change the fact that you are my son, Song Shiwen."
"I, your father, will help you ascend to a high position. My Song family business is waiting for you to inherit."
Song Shiwen walked up to Song Chi and patted his shoulder.
Song Chi suppressed his inner disgust and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Song Shiwen sat down again, rubbing his hands and said, "Father wants to ask you something. You must tell me the truth. Did you have sex with Liang Qingwu on the night of the Jixian female commander's homecoming banquet?"
"No."
Song Chi shook his head directly.
What happened between him and Liang Qingwu could not be spread, not for his own sake, but for Liang Qingwu's reputation.
She is the female commander of the Great Zhou Dynasty and is a household name.
How could her reputation be damaged?
Song Chi can only say it when he reaches a high position, not now.
Song Shiwen frowned. He was trying to see whether Song Chi was telling the truth or a lie, but he couldn't tell.
His face was so calm, without any emotion.
He was only sixteen years old, but he had a kind of maturity that was totally inconsistent with his age. Song Shiwen could hardly see through his son.
"But Liang Qingwu threatened my father in front of the entire court in order to protect you. Why?"
"Because at the female coach's homecoming banquet, everyone was targeting her, and I helped her."
Song Chi gave a suitable reason, and it was also very reasonable.
"You helped her? What did you help her with?" Song Shiwen continued to ask.
"I defeated Song Ming, which meant I helped her."
Song Shiwen didn't say anything.
Just because of Song Chi's performance at the homecoming banquet, Liang Qingwu would never treat him like this.
Something must have happened.
Could it be that Song Chi helped Liang Qingwu to remove the aphrodisiac, but used another method, and the two did not actually have sex.
No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Liang Qingwu values Song Chi very much.
Song Shiwen asked again, "You must be aware that Prince Xiang is the brother of Prince Qing and follows Prince Qing's orders. He commands a powerful 50,000-man Eastern Guard Army, also known as the Xiang Family Army. Liang Qingwu is the female commander of the Great Zhou. If she were to get close to Prince Qing, it would be extremely detrimental to the Crown Prince's bid for the throne!"
"Prince Xiang will return to the capital at the end of the year and has vowed to do his utmost to support His Royal Highness Prince Qing in his bid for the throne. I know you are close to Liang Qingwu. If you can get Liang Qingwu to join the Crown Prince, you will have accomplished a great feat. At the very least, you must not allow her to get close to Prince Qing."
"I can't let Liang Qingwu get close to the Crown Prince, but I can keep Liang Qingwu away from His Royal Highness Prince Qing."
Song Chi's words surprised Song Shiwen.
He asked, "What can you do?"
"I can get Liang Qingwu to withdraw from this war."
Song Chi said, "Your Majesty wants to fight this war. His Royal Highness Prince Qing also wants to fight. Prince Xiang is his brother, and the female commander is close to him. If he wins, his reputation will surpass that of the Crown Prince."
"If Liang Qingwu insists on withdrawing, His Royal Highness Prince Qing will be dissatisfied, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to arrange for his people to take over."
"Liang Qingwu leads the Northern Army, the main force in this war, and she has been stationed at the border for a long time. How could His Majesty let her withdraw?"
Song Chi said directly: "I have my own way."
"good!"
Song Shiwen said in a deep voice: "If Liang Qingwu can really be persuaded to withdraw, it will also be beneficial to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Song Chi sneered inwardly.
Both groups were thinking about fighting for the throne, but never thought about winning or losing the war.
How can this battle be won?
Given Liang Qingwu's personality, she would definitely strongly advise against fighting this war.
But Emperor Yuan Jing, who was conceited and fond of ostentation, had to be beaten.
Liang Qingwu will be abandoned.
This is also Song Chi's purpose. He will not sit idly by and watch his wife fall into danger, nor will he let her fight a war that she can never win.
"And the Jiangzhou Gu family..."
As soon as Song Shiwen opened his mouth, Song Chi said directly: "I have asked the Gu family to obey Xuzhou Mu's arrangements and help the prince, but there is a prerequisite."
"What?"
"Don't let Song Ming harass Gu Rongshan anymore."
"Ha ha."
Song Shiwen laughed, "Isn't this simple? Song Ming has been imprisoned in the mansion by me. He has no chance of getting out again."
Although he is only sixteen years old, he is calm and experienced.
Song Shiwen seemed to see his own shadow in him. This is my son, Song Shiwen. In comparison, what is Song Ming, who is just a little clever?
A man should have children to leave behind.
The Song family has always been small.
When he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, in order to stay in the capital and for a smooth career, he abandoned his wife and children and married Miss Zhou, which was actually the same as marrying into the wife's family.
Soon Song Ming was born, but they never had any more children after that. Later he found out that the Zhou family put medicine in Song Shiwen's daily meals in order to help him become rich in the future and find another woman to have children.
This drug is a chronic poison that gradually makes him lose his fertility.
In this way, Song Ming can only be the only son of the Song family, and in the future Song Ming will definitely side with the Zhou family.
Song Shiwen only found out about this by chance, and he never pointed it out.
It turned out that he only regarded Song Chi as a stain on his life, and because Song Chi grew up in the countryside and was a useless person, he didn't care whether he lived or died.
But now he discovered that this abandoned son was actually a talented person.
The Song family also had the best heir, so he simply abandoned Song Ming.
Thinking of this, Song Shiwen asked: "You helped my father, so what do you want me to do?"
