Yang Zangyi was completely furious. He rushed into the palace to question Sun Shannu. Sun Shannu was evasive and it turned out that she knew about this.
Well...it's not that simple. Not only does Sun Shannu know about this, she is actually one of the masterminds behind it. …………
It's not that she planned the stealing of grain and grass, but she was also involved in it. A few years ago, when Jinling was still safe, someone came to her and presented her with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Even though she was born in the Sun family, she was shocked by the man's wealth. The man said eloquently that as long as she issued an imperial decree to open a convenient door for certain people, they would continue to present treasures to Sun Shannu.
Even though she didn't know what was going on at first, Sun Shannu gradually understood what these people were doing. She had been very quiet for a few days, not because Sun Renluan had put her in solitary confinement, but because the war was about to break out, and she was nervous and afraid. She was worried that Sun Renluan would be furious with her again. ... She was only worried that Sun Renluan would be angry with her after reselling food and grass. It can be seen that she had lived a very good life in this life. The status of the queen mother brought her a lot of convenience.
So, even if not for Tan'er, but for herself, she had to seize power while Sun Renluan was ill.
She has not been idle these days. She has asked people to find those noble families who had resold the grain and grass in the past. But once they have sold it, it is sold. Even if they have saved some of it, they will not use it to fill the hole. What's more, the Queen Mother is of the same ilk as them. She can threaten others but not them.
Sun Shannu: "..."
Now she also understood what Sun Renluan's usual mood was. The problem was that although Sun Renluan was angry, if he really spoke, the aristocratic families would still try to resolve the problem. But if Sun Shannu was angry, no one would be willing to listen.
Jinling was now in chaos. Sun Shannu led the Sun family, Yang Zangyi led some officials, the aristocratic families either banded together or pretended to be dead, and the army was also in turmoil because the army was the one who cared most about food and fodder.
He Fu was deep in the palace, he should have known nothing, but the palace maids and eunuchs around him got the news, and they all became very nervous. He was originally a puppet emperor, and now that Sun Renluan was in trouble, everyone felt like the sky had fallen and they no longer cared about his existence.
He eavesdropped on the palace maids' conversation and had already learned about the food. Many people in the army were dissatisfied with this information, which made He Fu panic. After all, he was just a child and he needed the protection of others to survive. If those who were supposed to protect him were gone, then he would have no way out.
He subconsciously wanted to go find Sun Shannu, but Sun Shannu no longer lived here. As an emperor, he wanted to step out of the courtyard, but was forced back by the guards at the door with spears. Sun Shannu said that he was locked up here to protect him, just like protecting his uncle who could not wake up. Although He Fu had some doubts, he still believed his mother's words.
However, at this moment, looking at the guards' eager eyes, he suddenly hoped that the person who was holding him captive was not his mother, but his uncle.
At least when his uncle was around, he wouldn't feel like a prisoner.
But his mother told him that his uncle was seriously ill and might never wake up again.
He Fu wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to cry in front of these guards, because he knew that if he shed a tear, the matter would be reported to the Queen Mother, and then the Queen Mother would come to him angrily and ask him to be more obedient and not cause trouble for her anymore. It was already very difficult for her to control the government and protect them mother and son. If He Fu was filial, he should not make her upset anymore.
Both Sun Shannu and Sun Renluan used He Fu. In fact, in terms of mentality, there was no difference between them. They both kept the little emperor imprisoned but did not treat him harshly materially. But Sun Shannu obviously ignored the superficial efforts because she was the little emperor's biological mother. She did not know that her son was actually very cunning. He did not trust anyone and always wanted to personally test whether others were sincere to him.
He couldn't get out, so he told the guards that he wanted to see the Queen Mother. He said it several times, but Sun Shannu never showed up and He Fu didn't make a fuss. He knew his mother's character and he had to ask her many times before he could get her to come.
Counting the times, he felt that it was about time and Sun Shannu should come over, but he immediately ran back to his bedroom and pretended to have gone to bed early.
Sun Shannu walked in with an impatient look on her face. When she learned that the little emperor had gone to bed, she wanted to get angry. Tan'er came with her. Seeing that it was still light outside, he was a little worried: "Is His Majesty sick?"
When Sun Shannu heard this, her expression changed a little. He Fu was her biggest support at the moment, and nothing could happen to him.
After years of pretending to sleep, He Fu could even fool Sun Renluan, let alone Sun Shannu. Sun Shannu touched his head, then frowned and said, "No fever."
Tan Er: "That's good. At this critical moment, your Majesty cannot be sick again."
Sun Shannu: "Yang Zangyi is being aggressive again today. If the emperor is ill, he will have even more reason to attack me!"
Tan Er: "The old man is best at taking advantage of the situation. In my opinion, you'd better be ruthless and directly announce the death of the Grand Marshal, so that he won't threaten you with the Grand Marshal again."
Sun Shannu was stunned for a moment, then hesitated.
