Song Ming was startled by the roar and stepped back subconsciously, with shock in his eyes that was hard to conceal.
This was the first time his father yelled at him like this.
"Offending Liang Qingwu has already caused a great deal of trouble. She has already submitted a memorial to the court explicitly opposing the Crown Prince's appointment as the Youzhou Relief Envoy. However, His Majesty still favors the Crown Prince. The announcement should be made at court tomorrow. We cannot allow any further incidents to occur at this time."
Song Shiwen said angrily, "But now, the originally neutral Duke Anguo will definitely oppose it, and there will even be greater trouble. This is all caused by your incompetence."
"What does it have to do with me?"
Song Ming's face flushed red. "It was Song Chi who caused the trouble, how come it's my fault?"
He was shaking with anger. He couldn't accept his father's double standards.
"If it weren't for your incompetence in not capturing Liang Qingwu, which backfired, she wouldn't have leaned towards the Second Prince, and we wouldn't be so passive. Even though Old Wu was killed, we can't say anything."
"If you hadn't been incompetent and failed to capture Luo Yurou, you wouldn't have offended Luo Chuannan now. Seizing the throne is already difficult, and the consequences of taking a wrong step are disastrous. How many mistakes have you made now?"
"I......"
Song Ming wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Song Shiwen. "Shut up! Do you dare to talk back? Go back to your room and reflect on yourself."
Song Ming, who had never been scolded like this since he was a child, was stunned and left the study like a walking corpse.
He felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
Is my father going to abandon me?
Looking at Song Ming's departing back, Song Shiwen narrowed his eyes slightly. If the person who entered Liang Qingwu's room that day was really Song Chi, it would actually be what he wished for.
He did everything that Song Ming failed to do.
They are all his sons anyway, so there is no difference.
It’s just that this unfilial son is too rebellious.
Song Shiwen sat down at the desk again and read the letters that had been sent to him from Ji County again.
He found that the two words "Song Chi" were mentioned most frequently in every letter.
Han Yu is the head of the Han family in Ji County, and Zhou Zhengan is the prefect of Ning'an Prefecture. Logically speaking, with their status, they don't need to care about Song Chi at all, but now he has become their biggest enemy.
To Song Shiwen, all these showed one thing, that is, Song Chi's talent.
He found that he had underestimated his son.
Maybe it will be a big surprise for him.
He was extremely intelligent and strategic, and it only took him a few months to find out what he had done in Ji County. As long as he could send the evidence to the capital, he would succeed.
Didn't he expect that he would be intercepted?
Song Shiwen was thinking, his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly thought that Zhou Zhengan intercepted the evidence sent by Feng Yuan, and it was very likely that he had deliberately let them discover it, with the intention of letting them relax their vigilance.
The real evidence of the crime may have been sent to the capital and is in Lu Taiyuan's hands!
"Oh no, something big is going to happen!"
Song Shiwen stood up directly.
"Old Wu, prepare the car immediately." He shouted, but there was silence outside the door. Song Shiwen was stunned. Only then did he remember that Old Wu was dead and his body was thrown into the wild.
Han Yu also said that due to the warmer weather, embalming was impossible and the bodies could not be transported back.
Old Wu went to Ji County secretly and did something shameful, so his death was in vain.
The most loyal servant died.
Song Shiwen clenched his fists and pushed the door open. He wanted to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
For him and Lu Taiyuan, this night was destined to be a sleepless night.
But there will always be daybreak.
After the third drumbeat of the bells and drums set up at the Meridian Gate sounded, all the officials who had lined up in order entered the palace one after another through the Side Gate.
Civil officials entered through the Zuoye Gate, and military officials entered through the Youye Gate.
Song Shiwen was the prime minister of the dynasty. As the head of the civil officials, he was in poor spirits and even looked a little listless.
Not sleeping all night was secondary. The main thing was that he was worried that something big might happen, and he had to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in advance.
The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne and lives in the East Palace. If you want to see the Crown Prince, you need to go to the palace late at night.
Even if he was the Prince's Guardian, he couldn't be too blatant. As the Prime Minister of the dynasty, how could he go to the palace to see the Prince late at night without paying his respects to the Emperor?
In other words, Song Shiwen was taking a huge risk.
But this was the only way as the situation was urgent. However, he waited in front of the palace gate for a long time but did not see the prince.
He dared to enter the palace late at night, but the prince did not dare to see him late at night.
The emperor was suspicious by nature and easily got into trouble.
Song Shiwen knew the prince's intention and immediately went to Han's mansion.
This Han Mansion is the real Han family, where the main family resides. The head of the main family, Han Qingshan, is the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Song Shiwen discussed with him and was prepared for the worst. If the situation really got out of control, he would have no choice but to abandon Ji County and split up.
Han Qingshan was naturally unwilling, but after Song Shiwen's persuasion, Han Qingshan reluctantly agreed.
This was a last resort. It took courage to cut off one's own arm, but Song Shiwen thought it wouldn't come to that. What could be found out in such a short time?
Even the items Zhou Zhengan and his men intercepted couldn't do anything to him.
Song Shiwen was thinking about taking a nap.
The court meeting is not held every day, usually once every five days. Today happens to be the day of the court meeting. Today, the candidate for the Youzhou Relief and Appeasement Envoy will be announced. The relief can also be for the town.
"Zhenyi" means relief and "zhen" means restraint.
After the disaster in Youzhou, the emperor wanted to provide relief to Youzhou and rebuild the border defense. The Zhenfu Division held great power. For the prince, it would allow him to legitimately take charge of the military power and gain fame.
The candidate will be chosen by the Crown Prince and Prince Qing. At present, it seems that unless there are any accidents, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the final candidate.
