Song Ming was stunned for a moment. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable hearing the three words "your brother" from Song Shiwen's mouth.
What? Isn't it time for you to ask Old Wu to whip you?
Isn't it time for you to abandon your child and sever ties with him?
How can people be so fickle?
Of course Song Ming secretly explained it, and he also asked Han Yuanzheng to find an opportunity to kill Song Chi, but this would have to wait, as he had caused so many things to make Song Chi famous.
Outsiders don't know the inside story. They only know that he was the first in the county case personally selected by the Prime Minister. If he died suddenly, they would naturally think that it was the Han family who was behind it.
The Han family did not dare to ruin their reputation because of this, so they could only wait for the storm to pass. However, it now seems that his father may have other instructions.
It's a bit tricky.
Song Ming discovered that his father began to value Song Chi and his attitude was completely different from before.
This guy was originally useless, so why did he suddenly become talented? Was he really hiding his incompetence before? And was he really going to sever ties with him, or was he just playing it safe? He was a little confused.
"I only have two sons like you. The last thing I want to see is you two brothers killing each other."
Song Shiwen's voice was calm, but it contained a warning. Song Ming quietly clenched his fists, appearing calm on the surface, but in fact he was already gritting his teeth in hatred. His father had never said such words to him before.
"I understand, father." Song Ming said with a smile, "I want my brother to go back too."
"Also... on this trip to Ning'an, you were supposed to show off your talents and become famous, but you ended up disgracing yourself completely."
Song Shiwen said in a low voice, "You are not as good as him in the art of war, nor in poetry and prose. This is unreasonable."
These three words deeply hurt Song Ming. He refused to accept the words and said, "Brother, it's obvious that Liang Qingwu is secretly helping him."
"Will Liang Qingwu compose a poem for herself?"
Song Ming was speechless for a moment. Yes, it was impossible for Liang Qingwu to dedicate a poem to herself, so the poem could only have been written by Song Chi at that time.
"And that article, was it also written by Liang Qingwu?" Song Shiwen asked repeatedly, leaving Song Ming speechless.
This is a complete knock.
"I originally wanted you to capture Liang Qingwu so that we could kill two birds with one stone, but you ended up making things worse." Song Shiwen's face was gloomy. Everything else was a small matter, but this matter alone made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Liang Qingwu has made remarkable contributions. His Majesty values her greatly and was so surprised that he wanted to confer the title of Duke upon her. I stopped him on the grounds that it was against etiquette to confer the title of Duke upon a woman. Now the Second Prince is also trying every possible means to win her over. If she is won over by the Second Prince, she will become a powerful aid in the fight for the throne. Do you know what the consequences will be?"
Song Ming remained silent.
He knew the situation in the court. Although the emperor had appointed the crown prince as the head of the Eastern Palace, the other princes were restless and were vying for the throne. The emperor seemed to be testing the crown prince and did not interfere with this. Instead, he encouraged it.
Therefore, the position of the crown prince is not stable, and it cannot be considered safe until one actually sits on that position.
There were two major forces in the court. One was the "Literary Party" headed by the prime minister Song Shiwen. They regarded themselves as literati and gentlemen and were also called the Prince's Party because Song Shiwen was the Prince's Grand Tutor.
Now he controls the government and no one can match him.
The second is the "Qingliu Party" headed by Lu Taiyuan, the second-in-command of the current dynasty. They claim to be the Qingliu Party and are dedicated to serving the people.
The "Qingliu Party" is naturally less powerful than the "Wen Party", and is even in a very difficult situation under suppression and exclusion. But now the "Qingliu Party" is beginning to get closer to the Second Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Qing.
Although they did not explicitly say that they would support the second prince in his bid for the throne, there were already signs of this.
The appointment of Feng Yuan of the "Qingliu Party" as the magistrate of Ji County was orchestrated by the second prince. Although Song Shiwen got the position of magistrate of Shanyuan Prefecture in return, he had essentially failed.
Ji County is Song Shiwen's hometown and his old nest, but now someone has taken advantage of it.
Putting aside the question of whether the problem can be found, this itself is a slap in the face of the Prime Minister.
Once the Second Prince really allies with the "Qingliu Party", it will be a great threat to the Crown Prince. However, after Liang Qingwu suddenly appeared, an existence appeared that affected the balance.
But Liang Qingwu happened to be closer to the Second Prince, and the Second Prince had even expressed his admiration for Liang Qingwu on different occasions. This was very scary. If Liang Qingwu really got close to the Second Prince, the Prince's forces would have no advantage, and this would be the most dangerous.
Therefore, Song Shiwen took the risk.
Such an important thing was not accomplished. The problem now is that Liang Qingwu has been completely offended after this. Originally, she and the second prince were just flirting with each other, but now she may have directly turned to him, and in a particularly decisive manner.
This is the biggest problem.
The original intention was to solve the problem, but before the problem was solved, even bigger trouble arose.
And this problem was caused by him. Song Ming was furious. He could have won the beauty and solved the matter perfectly, but now it was a mess. After returning to Beijing, he would definitely be held accountable by the prince.
Because of Song Chi's kick, all of these were kicked away. It is very likely that he will not be able to be humane in the future.
The pain was indescribable, but he couldn't say it.
It’s so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable!
"The failure of this matter has brought about great trouble." Song Shiwen's face was gloomy.
Song Ming was a little panicked and said hurriedly: "No one expected this to happen. Liang Qingwu was very sober at the time. She was a military commander. I had no way to stop her. She even kicked me and almost killed me."
He quickly threw the pot away, holding his chest while speaking.
After seeing this, Song Shiwen sighed deeply, "This matter was not considered carefully by your father. I felt that doing so was a bit risky at the time. It was the Crown Prince who was a little impatient. We didn't know Liang Qingwu well before. Even if you really succeeded in drugging her, Liang Qingwu would not obey you."
"right."
Song Ming subconsciously covered his chest, a look of fear flashed across his face. He was really frightened by Liang Qingwu that day, and it left a shadow on him. It would probably take a long time to digest it.
"Also... I originally thought that this would work out and Liang Qingwu would become my Song family's daughter-in-law, but now it has turned out like this. You are already of marriageable age, and it's time for you to find a woman to carry on the Song family's bloodline."
Hearing this, Song Ming was immediately overjoyed.
For a family, the most important thing is to pass on the family line. His father gave him this important task, which showed that his position was not shaken, but then he broke out in a cold sweat.
The biggest problem now is that he is no longer able to move, but it is not certain yet. Maybe he will be fine after a long time. We need to see a doctor to be sure.
Song Ming's mind became more active. There was a famous doctor in the capital, and he might be able to recover after treatment.
The situation may not be that bad.
But this was just what he hoped for. If there really was a problem, it would be exposed right after the wedding. No, he had to wait a little longer.
Thinking of this, Song Ming hurriedly said: "Father, I came to Ji County this time, and I know that I have many shortcomings. I should continue to cultivate myself and study hard. I don't want to get married for the time being..."
Song Shiwen said quietly, "You don't want to get married, so do you want me to bring your brother back home to get married?"
