Chapter 1210 Patriarch

Zhulan, "No, he likes to be lively. The twins like to hear about overseas events, and he is willing to talk about them."

Before the twins came, the older children in the family were in school, and the younger ones only knew how to play and didn't like to stay with the elderly. The twin grandchildren didn't like to study and liked the outside world, and my fourth uncle was willing to talk about it.

Yuyun has also been to some nearby countries overseas and has a wealth of knowledge. It would be good for the twins to listen to more.

Li listened to the children making a lot of noise in the yard and said, "It's been a long time since it's been so lively."

Zhao held her belly, listened to Yudie's command, and said helplessly: "Yudie is so happy that we have two more brothers these days."

The daughters of other families have already learned the rules or read, and are very well-behaved, but the daughter of my family likes to play crazy with her younger brothers, like a female general, and even persuaded her husband to get her a small sword.

Xuemei smiled and said, "Children are the future and prosperity."

Zhulan loves to hear this.

Su Xuan listened to her son's goose-like laughter and rubbed her forehead. "When they grow up and get married and have their own children, oh, just thinking about it gives me a headache."

Li shut up. She had the most sons. She stretched out her fat hands and calculated that if her sons gave birth to many grandchildren, she would swallow her saliva and think, "Oh, my family is not well-off. Mother, I can't learn from you."

If she really wanted her mother to treat her children equally and give each child a betrothal gift and dowry, she couldn't afford it.

Zhulan, "Hmm?"

Li retracted her fat hand and said, "My daughter-in-law is too poor."

Zhulan understood, and thinking of the three hundred thousand taels in her purse, she became more confident, "My eldest daughter-in-law should always know her own situation best."

For a moment, all the women in the room laughed.

Li, "......."

In the palace, the emperor was looking through the list. The corners of the list were worn out, showing that it was often flipped. "Has the Zhang family entered the capital?"

The prince said, "Yes, I entered the city in disguise. The guards at the city gates today are still bribed."

The emperor closed the increasingly thick list and said, "Oh, I have been rebelling for ten years, and they have been busy too."

Prince, "The gunpowder brought by Xuzhou was divided into two parts. One part was near the city gate, and the other was inside the city. The gunpowder of Xuzhou was used to create chaos and leave a way to escape."

The emperor asked, "What about the other place?"

Prince, "It has been distributed."

Your Majesty, "It was thanks to Yang that I met you last time."

The prince was also glad. He had carefully considered Zhou Shuren and his wife. It seemed that every time the Zhang family encountered the couple, they would fail.

Just as my father said, Zhou Shuren is indeed a lucky general.

In the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Zhang Yang stared at the old man in front of him. This man was Gu Ren's father, the current patriarch of the Zhang family.

Gu Wuxi, no, it should be Zhang Wuxi, looked at Zhang Yang lovingly, "When everything is over, you will be the emperor."

Zhang Yang sneered in his heart. The emperor was just a puppet. He had no offspring. The children in the palace were poisoned. Do you really think he didn't know? When he succeeds to the throne and his children die young, he will be completely useless as an emperor.

Talk to him nicely and coax him now, because he still has the status of the fifth legitimate prince. Even if he looks like waste now, his status is still there. As long as his father and several brothers are dead and their jealous mother is poisoned, it will be more natural for him to ascend the throne.

These people want to catch them all in one fell swoop, but he likes it!

Seeing Zhang Yang remained silent, Gu Ren looked unhappy and asked, "Did you really deceive King Liang?"

Zhang Yang sat very casually, "Haha, King Liang will be our vanguard."

Gu Ren thought about Gu Wu's words, and the smile on his face deepened, "Not bad."

Zhang Yang sneered in his heart, he also thought it was good, he couldn't wait any longer, the madness in his eyes could hardly be concealed, he quickly closed his eyes and hummed the new song he had heard.

Gu Ren stood up and helped his father out, "Dad, you shouldn't have come. Didn't we agree that you should stay on the island and wait for everything to be over?"

Zhang Wuxi, "Many people escaped that year, but I am the only one who is still alive. I must watch over it myself."

When the Rong family was exterminated, he had not yet married. Unexpectedly, the emperor pretended to be crazy and stupid, endured rebellion for many years, borrowed the knife of the previous dynasty, and exterminated the Zhang family. If they had not had a way out, their family would have been exterminated in the previous dynasty.

Gu Ren, "We have been planning for so many years and have also taken over the power of the Yao family. We will definitely not fail."

Zhang Wuxi's smile deepened, then turned cold again, "Zhang Jinghong can't stay either."

At the end of that year, many people escaped, but the rest were dead. The emperor of the previous dynasty issued an edict that Zhang Jinghong, a descendant of the previous dynasty, should repay his debt. There was a deep blood feud between them.

Gu Ren, "He is lucky. He is still able to live well despite his background."

Zhang Wuxi: "So we can't keep it."

Ministry of Revenue, Qiu Yan asked quietly, "You know the recent rumors, right?"

Zhou Shuren didn't even raise his head, "Yeah."

It would be a lie to say I don't know at this point.

Qiu Yan felt complicated. "If the rumors are true, then Lord Rong is really very brave. When you first banned the ointment, you told us a lot about the dangers."

Zhou Shuren, "Hasn't Lord Rong been convicted yet?"

Qiu Yan whispered, "This is a serious crime that warrants confiscation of property. You, no, your fourth uncle's surname is also Rong. If it's true."

Zhou Shuren understood what was not said, so he has verified people's minds in recent days, "Do you think I will be implicated?"

Qiu Yan shook his head, "I don't think you will be implicated. Your last name is Zhou."

After a pause, he continued, "Hey, there is another rumor that the emperor has fainted and has not woken up. Since Lord Rong was thrown into prison, he has not summoned any ministers."

Zhou Shuren curled his lips. These people really forgetful, "My fourth uncle entered the palace that day."

Qiu Yan asked, "Did you see the emperor?"

Zhou Shuren was silent. His fourth uncle meant that he did not meet the emperor.

Qiu Yan's eyes widened. He had never thought that he had asked the question casually and actually got to the root of the problem. He trembled and asked, "Didn't you see it?"

Qiu Yan's mind was still in a turmoil. It must be to stabilize the situation that Lord Zhou's fourth uncle was allowed to enter the palace. The more he thought about it, the more this possibility seemed. Lord Rong had been in jail for such a long time without any result. No one dared to do it for the emperor!

Zhou Shuren raised his head and saw Qiu Yan trembling, so he quickly lowered his head. Alas, he had unknowingly scared Qiu Yan again.

Well, the news will get out sooner or later.

At night, Zhou Shuren and his wife have been analyzing in their heads these days. The more guesses they make, the safer they will be.

Zhou Shuren whispered, "Someone will be unable to hold back any longer in the next day or two and will ask for permission to see the emperor."

Zhulan, "Also, the prince hasn't shown up for a long time."

Zhou Shuren, "I think we have bought everything we need these days."

"I bought everything two days ago. We have everything we need at home. I also sent someone to give a letter to Madam Wu Ming."

"Well, think carefully, is there anything you missed?"

Zhu Lan whispered, "It should be gone. I also had people set up a lot of traps near the courtyard wall."

Having had that experience once, she doesn't want to go through it again.
