Apart from taking a look at her after he left the house, Tang Sanfeng carefully observed his father but could not see any changes in him.
Come to think of it, simplified Chinese characters were like incomplete characters to the ancients, and it was hard to understand them even if you couldn’t read them at first.
Tang Sanfeng put the matter aside for the time being and reconsidered their future development.
She has already finished reading the novel, and Tang Sanfeng thinks that they might be able to refer to the contents of the novel.
The matter of the real and fake King of Huai'an and the confusion of bloodline could be as serious as demoting the person to a commoner or even exterminating the entire clan, or it could be as light as covering it up.
Ultimately it all depends on what the emperor thinks.
After all, the fake one has now retreated to the second line and become the old King of Huai'an, and the current King of Huai'an is the prime minister's son-in-law.
This is a very complicated matter. It cannot be resolved with just one sentence.
"I think we can follow the development route in the novel." Tang Sanfeng looked at them, "Big Brother and Second Brother, what do you think?"
"I don't think it's feasible," Tang Erhai shook his head, "Tang Sanfeng in the novel had everything going smoothly, but we now have a reborn girl who knows exactly what the future holds..."
That means that no matter what they do, it will be nipped in the bud by the Reborn Girl.
"Unless someone can hold them back, so that the people in the Huai'an Palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion have no time to pay attention to us."
"There is indeed such a person in the book, but not everyone can see the Sixth Prince." Tang Sanfeng sighed.
The discussion was interrupted again and they had to put the matter aside for the time being.
A few days later, Tang Sanfeng suddenly realized that his father seemed to be very busy during this period.
Although he came back for lunch every day and returned before dinner, he was always exhausted and left in a hurry.
Tang Sanfeng couldn't resist his curiosity and ran to ask his father secretly.
Mainly, she was concerned about whether her father had read the book and understood it.
"Mom, what has father been busy with these days?" Tang Sanfeng sat aside and asked with pretended curiosity.
"My father is not very clear about this either. It should be something in the barracks."
"Is that so..." Tang Sanfeng nodded absentmindedly.
"What's wrong? Why are you asking this?" Ye Qingyu glanced at her.
"It's nothing, I just feel that Dad seems a little busy recently." Tang Sanfeng smiled embarrassedly.
Hearing that her daughter was concerned, Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Indeed, Silong often complains to me that his father is never at home... It will be fine in a few days, and then I will let him take you to the county town to play."
Her father-in-law said that it would be fine in a few days, and indeed on the third day after she had talked with her father-in-law, her father no longer left early and came back late.
However, Tang Sanfeng was actually quite curious about what his father had been busy with before.
On this day, my father went out again after lunch.
My father-in-law suddenly wanted to go back to his mother's house to visit. Today happened to be the day when my uncle came back from the academy, so Tang Yihai accompanied my father-in-law.
Tang Erhai's wood carving shop grew bigger and bigger, so the three siblings discussed and decided to expand it. They bought a building and renamed it Jin Xi Pavilion, and specialized in wood carving-related business in the future.
Today is the opening day of Jin Xi Pavilion, so he is not at home either.
It was time for Tang Sanfeng's Gourmet Restaurant to open several branches, so she worked overtime for several nights and finally finished the plan. She decided to take a break today and go back to her room to take a nap after everyone at home went out.
Tang Sanfeng was awakened by the heat.
Although it was already autumn, it was still a little hot. Tang Sanfeng was woken up by the heat and his head was covered in sweat, and his back was also wet and sticky.
Planning to take a cool shower, Tang Sanfeng took a set of clothes and went out of the house.
It was probably around three or four in the afternoon, and I felt hot soon after going out in the sun.
It was quiet all around, it seemed they hadn't returned yet.
Nanny Fang was also missing; she must have gone to chat with Granny Yang, or to tend to the vegetable garden.
Because he was going to take a shower, Tang Sanfeng wore a pair of straw slippers.
She didn't like the clattering sound of her footsteps, so when she passed by her father and mother's study, she heard the sound coming from inside.
Tang Sanfeng was startled when he suddenly heard his father's voice, and then began to get nervous.
Besides my father's voice, there seemed to be another man's voice in the study.
In the study, Tang Mingan quickly glanced at the letter in his hand, then looked at Ying Liu who was standing in front of him.
"We have found the physical evidence from that year, but where are the witnesses?"
"It's a long time from now, and it will take time." Ying Liu replied.
"Hmm..." Tang Ming'an responded and thought for a moment, "There's no rush. Please tell the Sixth Prince to wait another three years."
After hearing Tang Mingan's words, Ying Liu suddenly raised his head and looked at him, "General Tang, what are you talking about...?!"
"In my opinion, the Sixth Prince is very suitable for that position." Tang Ming'an twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a polite smile.
"Besides, it's just a mutual benefit."
Tang Ming'an helped the Sixth Prince get that position, and the Sixth Prince helped him get rid of the Prime Minister and Prince Huai'an. This is very fair.
"Yes, I will convey General Tang's intention to my master." Ying Liu was just shocked for a moment, but recovered quickly.
Outside the study, Tang Sanfeng was pressed against the wall next to the window, not daring to breathe, his eyes wide open.
What did she hear?!
Her father actually knew the Sixth Prince! Moreover, her father was planning to help the Sixth Prince seize the throne!
This is really...really exciting!
Realizing that their conversation was almost over, Tang Sanfeng carefully took off his straw slippers.
Holding her shoes in one hand and her clothes in the other, she tiptoed back in small steps.
As for taking a shower, what's the point? The most important thing now is not to let her father and the other person know that she was eavesdropping outside.
Wait for Tang Sanfeng to return to the door of her room, open it carefully, go in, and then close the door carefully.
There was no sound during the entire process, and Tang Sanfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the study
Ying Liu looked at General Tang with some confusion in his eyes, "General Tang's daughter is only nine years old, why should she hear it?"
"You will know in the future." Tang Ming'an did not say it clearly.
The sun soon set and the family members returned home one after another.
Hearing the sounds of his younger brother and grandfather coming back from outside the house, Tang Sanfeng stayed in the house for a while before going out.
Tonight's dinner is still made by Nanny Fang.
During dinner, as their attention was drawn to what his younger brother was saying, Tang Sanfeng carefully looked at his father while eating.
At this moment, although the father had no expression on his face as usual, his eyes were gentle when he looked at his father and his four siblings.
Sometimes he would curl up his lips and smile. Tang Sanfeng had seen his father smile like this several times.
Looking at his father, Tang Sanfeng was thinking back to what he had heard this afternoon.
I was lost in thought as I thought about it, until -
"Three Phoenixes? Three Phoenixes?" Ye Qingyu called out.
Tang Sanfeng came back to her senses after being pushed by her second brother who was sitting next to her. Then she saw that everyone was looking at her, including her father.
"What...what happened?" Tang Sanfeng asked nervously.
"Why didn't you eat just now and just stared at your father in a daze?" There was some worry in Ye Qingyu's eyes.
"No... I just thought of something and was distracted for a moment." Tang Sanfeng smiled unnaturally, "Let's eat now, you guys eat too."
Tang Sanfeng said as he lowered his head to eat his meal.
well.
You must not be so dazed and absent-minded in the future, otherwise your father will find out something is wrong sooner or later.
The next morning, watching her father leave after breakfast, Tang Sanfeng took her elder and second brothers into the small study and told them what she had heard yesterday.
After he finished speaking, seeing that his elder and second brothers were deep in thought with serious expressions, Tang Sanfeng did not disturb them from thinking.
It took a while for the two brothers to digest the information Tang Sanfeng gave them.
"What do the eyewitness and physical evidence that my father told another man mean?" Tang Yihai raised a key question.
"I don't know," Tang Sanfeng shook his head, "This was the first sentence I heard when I passed by."
Obviously, she missed the previous content.
However, it was good to be able to eavesdrop on this information.
"Let's put this aside for now," Tang Erhai said, "The important thing is that Dad wants to support the Sixth Prince to take that position. Obviously, this is beneficial to us."
"Yes," Tang Yihai nodded in agreement, "Among the princes in the novel, only the Sixth Prince and the Third Prince are equally powerful.
The biological mother of the Third Prince is the legitimate daughter of the current old Prince Huaian. In this way, when the Sixth Prince takes that position, we will find a way to expose the matter of the ‘real and fake Prince Huaian’…”
After listening to his elder brother's analysis, Tang Sanfeng frowned.
Seeing this, Tang Erhai thought she had a different opinion. "Sanfeng, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"No, big brother's plan is indeed good." Tang Sanfeng shook his head and said, but the worry on his face did not disappear. "Since ancient times, emperors have always been sensitive and suspicious. Father helped the Sixth Prince to seize the throne, and then what? Have you thought about it?"
"Don't forget, if my grandfather's background is revealed, then my father is the son-in-law of the old King Huai'an..."
My father wants to support the Sixth Prince in seizing the throne, so he must find a way to get the military token of Longrui Kingdom in the next three years.
What about three years later?
With the military command in hand and the real power in the hands of the general, his father-in-law is the old King of Huai'an and his elder brother is the King of Huai'an. It is difficult not to make the emperor jealous.
Although they didn't know why their father helped the Sixth Prince to take that position, if the three siblings were determined to bring down the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Huai'an Prince's Mansion, the Sixth Prince was the best choice.
"After all, we still don't have enough chips." Tang Yihai frowned after hearing his third sister's analysis.
"Actually, this is not unsolvable." Tang Erhai suddenly said, "Do you remember the ending of the book 'The Beautiful Life of a Farm Girl'?"
After he mentioned this, Tang Yihai and Tang Sanfeng thought about it for a long time, and suddenly they realized it.
"So, we have to seize the time in these three years."
At the end of the novel, Tang Sanfeng's Gourmet Restaurant eventually became the best restaurant in the world, with branches in several countries.
Tang Erhai's Jinxi Pavilion also opened branches in various places. After Tang Yihai passed the imperial examination, he also won the top spot the following year. Finally, with the help of Tang Sanfeng and his various advanced strategies, his official career was promoted all the way.
And Tang Silong, under the secret operation of Tang Sanfeng, became a large landlord who "discovered crops with long storage capacity and high yield many times".
The world's richest businessman, a resourceful and popular official, and a large landowner who discovered new crops and brought good news to the people are all in the Tang family.
No matter if the emperor wanted to take action, he would have to consider whether it was appropriate.
“However, wouldn’t this make the emperor even more jealous of our Tang family?” Tang Yihai felt something was wrong and spoke up quickly.
"That seems to be the case."
"Being a little stronger is different from completely crushing someone," said Tang Erhai.
"In fact, to be honest, the economic lifeline of Longrui Kingdom will be in our hands by then..." And with their father as their backer, they can neither move nor kill him.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's take it one step at a time. Let's resolve the current crisis of the Tang and Ye families first."
The life-threatening issues haven't been resolved yet, yet we're considering this for so long.
"Okay, that's all we have to do." Tang Yihai smiled awkwardly.
They are indeed thinking too far ahead, and the current problems have not been solved yet.
Outside the small study, Tang Mingan, who had returned early, heard their discussion and looked somewhat helpless.
The problems they are considering do exist, but they will not happen to them.
If he can support a person to sit in that position, he can naturally also pull that person down from that position.
