When Sun Shaozong heard about this case, his first reaction was that someone was behind the scenes. Not only did he design the Wei family and Niu family, he even wanted to take the opportunity to provoke a conflict between King Beijing and Niu family – because from the analysis of various leaked details, this was really not like an ordinary accident.
However, after learning about the chips that Princess Beijing took out, Sun Shaozong came up with new ideas.
Maybe…
The eldest son of the Niu family was really killed by Wei Ruolan!
The purpose is still to provoke a conflict between the two families in order to completely draw a clear line with the Niu family.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that because the “Longgen Case” that took a risk failed to make the imperial throne fall, the Niu family, the biggest stakeholder, may not be able to escape the fate of settlement in the autumn.
Now that the empress dowager is holding it on top, everything seems calm – but who knows how many days can the old lady in her seventies or eighties last?
After Empress Dowager Niu passed away, a great purge against the Niu family and its followers was inevitable!
Therefore, it is not uncommon for King Beijing and Wei families to break up with the Niu family and move closer to Emperor Guangde.
After all, to be honest, the blood relationship between Shui Rong and Emperor Guangde is far above the relationship with the Niu family – plus the title of the head of the nobles, it is also a good help to Emperor Guangde and the prince.
Sun Shaozong could not think of this before, because the Wei family and King Beijing were too reluctant to set up the book. In order to completely cut off the Niu family, he actually brought Wei Ruolan in!
But thinking about it is true, if the Wei brothers had not ended in person, how could they win the trust? How can King Beijing and the Niu family completely turn against each other?
“Sun Aiqing?”
Seeing that Sun Shaozong had been pondering for a long time, the prince couldn’t help but said nervously: “Do you think there is something wrong with this matter?”
“It’s not inappropriate.”
Sun Shaozong shook his head: “It’s just that I’m a little suspicious. The death of the eldest son of the Niu family may really be done by the Wei brothers on purpose.”
“What?!”
“This…”
The prince was shocked, and the princess covered her mouth in surprise. Then she felt something was wrong, so she hurriedly stood up with her arms down.
The prince was surprised and said, “What do you mean is that Wei Ruolan deliberately shot the eldest son of the Niu family to death? This… Then why did he do this? Is he impatient to live?!”
“Of course, it is to preserve his family!”
Sun Shaozong explained the two of his thoughts just now, and finally said, “The reason why I think so is because the first of the conditions offered by Princess Beijing is to first make a statement and break with the Niu family completely!”
“You must know what Wei Ruolan will be in the future. Your Highness, your attitude is of course important, but the attitude of the Niu family is a very important part. Will it become more and more angered by the Niu family? “
“If you really think about Wei Ruolan, you should first take out some secret bargaining chips, even if it is not too late to express your position after Wei Ruolan escapes. “
“But they did it! “
“Either they were stunned or…”
Sun Shaozong paused slightly when he said this. He wanted the prince to follow the trend and follow the conversation. At least he seemed not so stupid, so as not to be too popular.
Unexpectedly, the prince widened his eyes on the bed, but he was waiting for the following words, and had no intention of taking the case.
This big head, why didn’t he have a brain?
Sun Shaozong was helpless and was about to continue talking, but he heard the princess blurting out: “Or that’s right, they had already made up their minds to break up with the Niu family! In contrast, what happened to Wei Ruolan is a secondary thing! “
It turns out that it’s a pity!
Sun Shaozong couldn’t help but complain about the crown princess again, and nodded at the same time: “This is exactly what the minister speculated. ”
“Hmph! “
As soon as he finished speaking, the prince snorted coldly and said angrily: “Shui Rong was so scheming that Gu thought he had no choice but to surrender to Gu! If I had known this, I would not have agreed to the shrewd woman just now. How could I continue to act like this? “
In fact, Princess Beijing may not be acting. After all, she is Wei Ruolan’s elder sister, so she naturally hopes to rescue Wei Ruolan from the cage – but no matter how tough she is, she is just a deep girl after all, and she is afraid she will not be able to pay attention to the twists and turns.
Maybe she was fooled by her brother and husband, and then she came forward to run. Shui Rong is still in a three-month confinement, so she can only come forward.
However, there is no need to explain these words to the prince.
Sun Shaozong bowed his fists and said, “For the humble ministers, this drama must continue – no matter what, King Beijing is indeed the best candidate to break the suspicion of the Niu family, not to mention that as the nobility leader, if he really can follow His Highness, it will definitely be helpful to His Highness to establish prestige. “
The Crown Princess was right and hurriedly persuaded her.
However, the Crown Prince was quite disgusted with her participation in political affairs. After listening to a few words, she scolded impatiently: “Okay, okay, if Sun Aiqing reminds her, it will be done, but you interfere? “
As he said that, he said to Sun Shaozong with a kind look: “Sun Aiqing, since you also think you should respond to this matter first, then the Wei family’s case is probably…”
“Your Highness.”
Sun Shaozong hurriedly intercepted his words: “If the Wei family expected it was not the truth, but your attitude. Therefore, it is not harmful to investigate the case. Since Wei Ruolan’s boss, it is really not suitable to participate in this case.”
As he said, he smiled bitterly: “Besides, without Zhizhong and Xingming Tongzong, various cases in Shuntian Mansion have accumulated like mountains. Jia Fucheng is still thinking about recalling Weichen and dealing with it as soon as possible.”
The prince was a little disappointed when he heard this, but through these days, he had long regarded Sun Shaozong as the most important arm support, and he would not turn against him because of this.
I just said regretfully, “Since that’s the case, I will choose another talent.”
As he said that, he smacked his lips and suddenly thought, “It’s better to recommend you to be the young minister of the Zhan Shi Mansion? In this way, you don’t have to be distracted by the trivial matters of Shuntian Mansion, and you can concentrate on sharing your worries.”
Damn~
This is really something you are afraid of!
But Shao Zhan is a fourth-rank official and a first-class official position in Qing Dynasty. Logically, Sun Shaozong should thank the prince for his respect. If he refuses this kind of praise without mercy, he might anger the prince.
Although Sun Shaozong tried his best to avoid being too close to the prince, he became enemies with the prince, but he was even more unwilling to face the situation.
So for a moment, he became a little in a dilemma.
Fortunately, in addition to the prince in this room, there is also an understanding princess.
Seeing that Sun Shaozong was silent and did not thank him in time, she knew something was wrong in her heart, so she hurriedly said, “Your Highness, Lord Sun has just been promoted to the fourth rank. You are afraid that it is unreasonable for your recommendation at this time, so it is better to postpone it for a while…”
“Long-hearted!”
The prince interrupted her words bluntly and said unhappy: “I plan to find a suitable opportunity in the future and transfer Sun Aiqing over, but I didn’t say I’ll recommend him now?”
“I really feel ashamed of your kindness.”
