Chapter 2259 The Su Family is the One Who Caused All This
However, they had been fighting for several months, and apart from the shocking losses, what did they get back for the emperor?
They couldn’t even take down the city of Jinhua!
For a time, the fire of impeachment against the Su family burned more and more fiercely.
Countless ministers petitioned the emperor to recall Su Huai as soon as possible so that he could rest and recuperate, and that the war could not be fought any longer.
The Third Prince himself was actually quite dissatisfied with the Su Family, but the Su Family had conquered a lot of territories for him before, and the most capable people under his command were from the Su Family, so he had to rely on them, so he was naturally biased towards them.
Now, listening to these overwhelming accusations, my heart can't help but waver.
The Third Prince was very dissatisfied with the fact that Su Huai and his men had fought for several months but had not been able to capture an inch of land. At the same time, he was extremely regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have taken a tough attitude to stop this matter from the beginning, so as not to be in such a difficult situation as it is now.
Moreover, this would be tantamount to breaking off relations with Shao Yunduan, and the hope of winning him over would become even slimmer.
It is the worst situation that we can neither win them over nor destroy them!
The one who caused all this was the Su family.
The Third Prince suddenly began to doubt what Concubine Su Lifei said, so he summoned Concubine Fu Shufei and asked her in detail about what happened between her and Concubine Su Lifei in Huaixi.
Concubine Fu Shu was hoping that Concubine Su Lifei would suffer misfortune, so when the Third Prince asked her, she told him everything.
The more words the Third Prince heard, the darker his face became.
Su Shi, this bastard, he told her to win people's hearts and minds over, not to bully others! But she did it with all her might and ended up making things so bad!
Bandits are bandits, they have no brains! They can do things that don't require brains, but when it comes to using brains, they have no brains to use!
But Concubine Su Life found out that countless court officials had impeached and spoken ill of her, and she was so angry that she ran to the Third Prince, crying and begging him to make the decision.
"My father and his uncles are loyal to the emperor and work for him wholeheartedly. What right do those guys who only know how to eat and do nothing have to slander my father and his uncles? I think they are just jealous and are talking without any concern! If they have the ability, why don't they try to conquer a piece of land for the emperor? I'm afraid they can't even pull a bow or climb a horse!"
"Your Majesty, these people are so vicious, you can't let them off easily! Dismiss them all and drive them out of the court, and see if they dare to talk nonsense again..."
In the past, when the Third Prince heard Concubine Su Lifei always say things like "dismiss from office!", "drive them out!", "lock them up!", "beat them with dozens of boards!" or even "chop off their heads!", he thought that she was ignorant and naive, didn't understand anything, and said whatever she thought according to her true nature. Although she was a little fierce, she was indeed cute.
But when I heard it today, I felt that these words were extremely vicious and harsh.
In addition, she kept talking about how much territory her father and others had conquered for him, which seemed more like she was showing off to him and reminding him not to forget her father and others' contributions. The third prince felt even more disgusted.
He was annoyed by what he heard, and before Concubine Su Li could finish her vicious accusation, he interrupted her with a sullen face: "Shut up! This is an important matter in the court. If you don't understand, Concubine Li, don't speak nonsense. I will deal with it impartially. Leave!"
Even though Su Huai made no progress in attacking Huaixi, he was still his right-hand man, and he had been very patient and polite to Concubine Su Lifei.
