What is this? When Su Chengyi was in the Zhenguo Mansion, he had eaten goat milk soup and felt that this thing should be milk, but it didn't look like goat milk. It was still liquid.

Although it feels novel, this is not the time to discuss this.

When Su Chengyi thought of the battle of Yancheng, his heart felt heavy as if a huge stone was pressing on it.

"The Northern Frontier will naturally not be willing, but the two sides have temporarily ceased fighting and are waiting for further results. Right here, I received an imperial decree ordering my nephew from Zhenbei to return to the capital to get married."

Having said that, Su Chengyi showed a bitter smile on his face.

"At this critical moment, the Emperor urgently ordered Zhenbei to return to the capital as a military advisor. The Crown Prince was afraid that something might happen. But no one could disobey the Emperor's order. When Zhenbei returned to the capital, he discussed the next steps with Dad, Big Brother, and the Crown Prince."

"That was clearly a vicious plot by the old emperor and Gu Tai. The emperor is afraid of our Su family army and the prince."

Ye Ranqing is a straightforward person, and considering that the Su family has fallen into such a state, it is natural for him to complain.

"Qing'er, don't get excited."

Old Madam Su patted the back of her daughter-in-law's hand. If there was anyone to hate, she was the one who should be hated the most.

But,

It was also the deep-rooted idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor over the years that made her unable to listen to her descendants speaking disrespectfully to the emperor.

"Mother, the old emperor is cruel. He treats the lives of our Su family members as a joke. We are still loyal to him, but that is what makes the dead uneasy."

Ye Ranqing was unwilling to hide his hatred for the current emperor.

"Since ancient times, there has been no grace or loyalty in heaven, no father or son."

Su Chengyi sighed, "As my father said, the emperor is still in his prime. But the prince is at the peak of his career, which naturally makes the emperor uneasy. The battle of Yanjing was so glorious. When the prince leads 300,000 Donglin troops back to the capital, won't the people support him and the officials be loyal to him?"

When Old Madam Su heard her son say what her old Duke said, she felt sad.

"So, your father also saw it. The emperor would never let the prince return to the capital safely. That's why he transferred him from Zhenbei to the capital on the pretext of marriage. The prince lost his military advisor and had to stop fighting and wait."

Madam Su is also a female general who has been fighting beside her husband for many years.

How could the emperor not understand what he was thinking?

So,

If the Su family generals could see the problem, how could the prince, who had a think tank, not see it?

But even if he saw it, so what? It seemed that sending the crown prince to personally fight in the northern border was a trap.

The prince is very powerful, and if he is dealt with in the capital, it will inevitably shock the court.

That was why the emperor had come up with such a good plan. He transferred the prince, his 300,000 Donglin troops, and his 100,000 Dragon Guards away from the capital in the name of fighting in the northern border.

Old Madam Su suddenly thought of the case of embezzlement of disaster relief grain that was triggered by a memorial submitted by the Left Prime Minister in the court before the incident.

The case shocked the government and the public, and not only shocked the officials, but also the people. They cursed the officials for being unkind and treating the victims like grass. Such corrupt officials should be cut into pieces.

The left prime minister took the lead, and Gu Tai's Zhaowei personally tried the case.

This case involves a wide range of issues.

More than 30 officials were imprisoned, more than 20 were confiscated and exiled, and more than 300 officials and their families were beheaded in the streets.

Among them, Pei Wenzhong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was the first to bear the brunt of the crime. As the chief culprit, he and his eldest son and grandson were sentenced to death by thousands of cuts.

Madam Su turned pale.

It seems that the emperor has made a big move.

By taking advantage of the disaster relief grain embezzlement case, the prince's party's roots in the capital were completely eliminated.

Then he issued twelve imperial edicts in succession, urging the prince to return to the capital.

"When the prince left, he knew the road ahead would be difficult. He used the excuse that the imperial edict was urgent, and left behind 300,000 Donglin soldiers, and only took 3,000 dragon guards with him to travel day and night back to the capital."

Su Chengyi smiled bitterly, "At that time, Dad tried to persuade the prince. If the prince is unwilling to return to the capital, Dad is willing to lead the Su family army to follow the prince, guard the northern border from now on, and never return to the capital."

When Su Mibao heard this, her eyes widened. As a modern person, she really couldn't understand the thinking of ancient people.

The prince knew that his father wanted to kill him, but he still traveled day and night to the capital, just to die. I don't understand, I don't understand at all.

Madam Su: [My old man has followed the emperor all his life. He is also a sworn brother to the emperor. He knows that the emperor's actions are unfair to the prince. But the old man would rather accompany the prince to disobey the order and stay in the northern border than directly rebel against the emperor.]

Su Mibao's heart sank when he heard his grandmother's voice. [The loyalty of the ancients was too terrible. My silly grandfather. He didn't even think about it. If he and the prince really stayed in the northern border, the prince and the Su family army would be rebels who disobeyed the emperor's order.]

Traitor?

Suddenly I heard a soft and cute baby voice.

Only then did Su Chengyi believe what Su San and her mother had told him, that their whole family could indeed hear the voice of their little niece.

Listening to what my little niece said, it's definitely not something a six-month-old child would say.

No wonder everyone in my family says that my niece is a fairy. She really is a fairy.

"The prince rejected my father's proposal. He said that if he did not return to the capital, all the people in the prince's mansion and the people in the Zhenguogong Mansion would be executed by the emperor as traitors. He could not let the whole family of the loyal emperor be implicated for his own life. Nor could they abandon the princess and the prince for his own survival. In this way, even if he became the emperor one day, he would be a tyrant who was unjust to his subjects and ruthless to his wife and children. He did not want to be like the emperor."

[Wow, it turns out the prince is such a good person. ]

Su Mibao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

[No wonder my elder brother is so loyal to the prince, and no wonder an old fox as cunning as Wang Taifu also bets all his treasures on the prince. He is indeed the best choice for a wise ruler. It's a pity that good people don't live long, they are short-lived. ]

Tsk tsk,

Su Mibao sighed at the prince's character.

【However, such a person is not suitable to be an emperor. You know, even Tang Taizong, who was so enlightened, killed his brothers to ascend to the throne. Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has always been bloody. The character of the prince is indeed no match for the cunning second prince, nor the tyrannical third prince. After all, the second prince is weak and the third prince is not smart. It is precisely because of their shortcomings that the emperor feels that such a prince is the one he can control. And the prince is obviously far beyond his control. 】

Alas, Sumibao let out a long cry, and his face wrinkled like a bitter gourd.

[How can anyone sleep soundly beside the king's bed? To put it bluntly, two old donkeys can't be tied to a stone trough. I really don't understand why the prince, who has elder brother, Wang Taifu and a think tank around him, doesn't understand the truth that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Why not let the prince hide his shortcomings? ]

Old Madam Su and Su Chengyi looked at each other.

The words spoken in that soft and cute baby voice were so shocking.

In the court, the royal family's father and son, these complicated relationships, a little child could see them so clearly.

Su Chengyi: This is not a fairy, what is this? Old Madam Su: Master Guiyi is indeed a great supernatural being. Our baby Mi is indeed a little fairy child sent by heaven.
