Chapter 335 He is too courageous
Be prepared early. These four words are easier said than done.
It has been less than a year since Song Junyan started to think about it.
During this period of time, the emperor's mind was changeable and uncertain, so he had to be extremely cautious in his actions.
Not to mention that the officials in the court had not had time to make arrangements, even the support for the Zhang family that the empress promised during the New Year had not yet been discussed in detail.
Song Junyan hadn't even found a chance to sit down and talk to Zhang Yongping.
Thinking of the situation they were facing, Lu Xinlan was more optimistic than the other two.
"In fact, if you think about it from another perspective, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has not had time to get more help, and the other princes are in the same situation at this time."
Since we are all at the same starting line, we are not at a disadvantage.
Especially since they also have Lu Xinran's system, which is a miraculous artifact. If you calculate carefully, they are the most proactive party.
When she said this, Lu Xinran immediately agreed: "Sister is right, we know more than others now, and we do have more initiative."
As for how things will develop in the future, they just need to keep an eye on it and make more plans.
"In fact, the most important point now is that we still don't know the reason for Yunsong's actions today."
Yunsong was able to carry out this secret plot for so many years, so he must have acted extremely carefully and prudently.
No matter how confident he was, he must have considered the consequences if he failed before taking action.
"You say, since he dares to use his real identity to show up in public, does that mean he wants to close the net?"
Only if he is not afraid of exposing himself and his identity would he be so willful.
Lu Xinlan looked at Song Junyan, wanting to know if he was careful enough since he wanted the throne.
Song Junyan was still recalling what they had talked about Yunsong's methods over the years before entering the palace.
"I thought of another point." He ignored Lu Xinlan's slightly scrutinizing gaze and looked at his princess: "Do you still remember that what you complained about the most in the past was your father's private vault?"
"You mean?"
Lu Xinran's heart moved, and a thought flashed through his mind.
"Has the emperor's private treasury already become his?"
"Well, given the way my father behaves, no matter how much he likes gold, silver and luxurious things, he will not focus all his attention on his private vault.
"Just like you said, the whole world belongs to him. Everything under heaven belongs to the king. Whatever he wants will be given to him. He doesn't need to worry so much about his private vault.
"But in recent years, my father has set up private properties in various places in the capital, and has also hired people to manage his private vaults, which inevitably makes people suspicious."
Someone must have seduced the emperor and drawn his attention to gold and silver.
What could be faster and more reliable than letting the emperor make money for you?
You can also use the emperor's channels to achieve everything you want.
The more he analyzed, the more shocking it became. Lu Xinran couldn't wait to open Yunsong's booklet again.
This time she had a side focus, and within a quarter of an hour she discovered something strange.
"It is exactly as you said! Not only did he try every means to win over Eunuch Fu, he also arranged many of his people around the emperor. No wonder Yunsong took action immediately when Eunuch Fu told you that he wanted to join you."
Now that he had been exposed, he simply stopped hiding.
Moreover... the previous arrangements have also reached the harvest period.
"We can't guess what he's going to do next, so we can only stay alert and respond accordingly."
Lu Xinlan's words made the couple nod slightly in agreement, but Lu Xinran always had a feeling that she seemed to have overlooked something.
But when I thought about it carefully, I couldn't think of anything. I could only scratch the hair at the back of my head in annoyance.
"Your Highness, the Duke is at the back door. He said he wants to see you for something important."
The sound of a servant's message came from outside the house. Song Junyan asked him to take the person to the study in the front yard and immediately got up and went out.
Lu Xinran looked at his back as he walked away quickly, and was already guessing the purpose of Zhang Yongping's visit to the palace today.
"Sister, do you think the capital is going to be in chaos?"
The emperor is courting death, several princes have their own ideas, and there is one who is being used as a substitute and wants to get back everything that belongs to him.
Thinking about the future situation in Beijing, she couldn't help but have a headache.
Lu Xinlan had expected this, so his expression was very calm: "When the old is replaced by the new, there will always be chaos for a while. In fact, it is better to be like this now. If the emperor can really kill himself in the next one or two years, it will save the internal friction of the princes fighting each other, and it won't cause too much disturbance to the country."
"That's true!"
That makes sense!
Lu Xinran was instantly convinced by her words. He was not in a hurry to read Yunsong's confusing booklet, but pulled her aside and talked about Liu again.
"Sister, do you really want to divorce your brother-in-law? From what you said before, your brother-in-law is not a mama's boy. If he is willing to let you leave the capital, then..."
She wanted to say that this person also fit in.
But then he immediately raised his hand and slapped him on the mouth.
It's not like you can't live without a man. Life will only be more comfortable after the divorce. No matter how good a person Tang Chongli is, he deserves a low score and a bad review for having a mother like that!
Lu Xinlan smiled faintly, obviously unwilling to talk about this.
"We'll talk about this later."
It's not that she has no feelings for Tang Chongli, but compared with the comfortable and carefree days, his weight in her heart is far from enough.
In the study room in the front yard, Zhang Yongping looked at the tall Song Junyan with complicated eyes. Thinking of what his daughter said in the mansion today, he still found it hard to accept.
Could the emperor who confined the Zhang family in the capital, forcing them to be cautious at all times and not dare to act rashly, really be the Zhang family's child?
No, from the moment he was taken away by the late emperor, he had nothing to do with their Zhang family anymore.
"What did the Queen tell you?"
After a long time, he sighed quietly and asked very directly.
Song Junyan met his scrutinizing gaze and felt an inexplicable sense of amusement in his heart.
This was the second time in one day that he was scrutinized like this.
So, if you want to reach that position, the first hurdle you have to overcome is the scrutiny of your supporters?
Under Zhang Yongping's sharp gaze, he said calmly: "Duke Zhenguo, what you should ask is what we have said to our mother."
His words were somewhat provocative, but they made Zhang Yongping look somewhat satisfied.
It’s okay. My daughter has a good vision. She is not a timid person and she won’t be eager to get the support of the Zhang family just because of his arrival.
"Then tell me what you said to the Empress."
"We have already told Mother everything we can. I'm sure Mother has already told the Duke and the Old Lady today."
This is just a bunch of nonsense.
Zhang Yongping could no longer hold back and rolled his eyes: "Alright, time is limited, I don't want to waste any more time talking to you, just tell me what you are planning."
Song Junyan spread his arms, and the fact that he was single made Zhang Yongping want to hit someone.
“We haven’t decided yet.”
Everything has changed so quickly in recent days. Who could have thought that the emperor's health would soon fail?
