son-in-law

Chapter 667
King Xian and King Kang are both building "fortress" buildings and raising hundreds of iron armor.Although they made peace, in fact, the two have torn their skins apart and have not communicated since then.They stayed at home and didn't even go to court.If there is anything, the eunuchs are arranged to come out to do it.If you need to have a long talk, invite the person you are talking to into the house.

The second old king did not go to court, and Zhang Yunlong was stationed outside at this time. He also wrote a letter requesting to resign from the post of assistant minister, and Cao Yuzan happily approved it.But soon after, Cao Yuhan was unhappy again, because the regent changed from one to two.Kang Wang Zhao Di asked Cao Yuzan to make Zhao Zhun the regent.

Cao Yuzan gritted her teeth bitterly, but she had to listen to Zhao Di.

The little widow hasn't invited Su Yu to meet in the apse for a long time, but she hasn't been idle either.Because she threatened Princess Chang'an with a knife a few days ago, she wrote a letter to Tang Ling'er.Judging from the words and sentences in the letter, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is an apology letter.

I have to say that Cao Yuzan's letter was quite sincere, and Su Yu and Tang Ling'er could understand Cao Yuzan's situation at that time.For her, it was a moment of life and death.Although this method may not be effective, she must give it a try.

Su Yu asked Tang Linger, what nonsense did Cao Yuzan make up for you to tell?

Tang Linger said, Cao Yuzan asked me to say that the prince Yu was stabbed to death a long time ago, and you were selected by the Tang family from countless children because you resembled Emperor Wanlong.

Su Yu asked again: "Does she have evidence?"

Tang Ling'er said: "She said there was, and there was more than one. Princess Ximen of Prince Fu's family, and Imperial Concubine Ximen are sisters. Concubine Ximen has the habit of writing bamboo slips, and some of the secrets are hidden there. Concubine Ximen usually hides the bamboo slips , and no one knew where she was hiding. The imperial concubine Ximen died suddenly, so there was no time to deal with those bamboo slips. So Cao Yuzan demolished Qifeng Palace, and she really found it, and found a skeleton .But whose bones belonged, there is still no conclusion yet. But Wu Zuo said that it was the bones of a man. This is strange, how could there be adult men in the harem?"

Su Yu smiled bitterly: "Eunuch."

Tang Linger emphasized: "Wu Zuo said he is a man."

Su Yuhan asked with a smile: "How can you tell the difference just by looking at the bones?"

Seeing Su Yu smiling maliciously, Tang Ling'er stretched out her hand to pinch her: "Then go ask Wu Zuo!"

……

Cao Yuzan has been very busy recently, almost all night long, and she wants to take advantage of the chaos to add people to the army of King Kang and King Xian.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to liquidate the rebellion, she arrested a large number of officers from Prince Rui's faction, and also took the opportunity to release Feng Zhao for trial.Some of them were beheaded by her, and some of them were trained by her as dead soldiers and spies.Those people were originally military officers, so it can be said that nine out of ten are smart people.

Cao Yuzan can be said to have made a fortune in the sea.

However, it is not an easy task to scoop them up and avoid the eyes of others.Even with the help of Li Wantang and Cao Xiaobao, two right and left hands, Cao Yuzan decided to do it himself.It seems that the matter of Jingtong has stimulated her a lot.

At that time, Qiu Yao, Cao Renfeng, and Han Jian all said that they would be loyal to the Queen Mother, but when the situation changed, they ran away with Su Yu.Cao Yuzan's teeth itch with hatred.

What was even more exasperating was that Su Yu was still asking Cao Yuzan for the family members of Cao Renfeng and others in the court hall.Cao Yuzan would never play a rogue in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so he let go.

Cao Yuzan has now recruited a large number of people, and she has spent a lot of time trying to get them mixed into the army.Various methods were used to obtain fake household registrations for these people.When the armies recruited troops, they mixed in.These people are all managed by the special authority, and the leader of the special authority is Li Wantang.

But soon she discovered that Prince Rui's faction recruited only from afar, and only young people.At this moment, she understood that Su Yu must have seen through her trick.She sighed, wrote a secret letter to Su Yu, and Cao Xiaobao sent it to Su Yu.

Cao Yuzan said in the letter:
"...Sister Yu, don't think about being the emperor anymore. Even if the stupid prince Zhao Chun is to be the emperor, it's not your turn to be the emperor. Because the Meng family and the Ximen family will not agree. Think about the Tang empress, Meng Guifei, The tragedies of Prince Ying, Prince Yu, and Prince Mu, can't you see the situation clearly?"

"If you must be, you will be the next Prince Mu! Don't say they won't spare you, neither will I!"

"...My younger brother heard from your sister-in-law that your current situation is already the best result. You have the support of a virtuous king, and you have the backing of a powerful family, and you don't have to worry about being assassinated. Become the regent, turn yourself over from now on, and live in the palace If you are free and easy outside, what more can you ask for? If you really live in the palace, you may not be as happy as you are now..."

"My sister-in-law has a deep understanding of this. The deep palace is like a big prison, which makes people suffer..."

"...The era of Emperor Wanlong is gone forever, and no one can be an emperor to be as carefree as Emperor Wanlong. Unless he can take away the military power of King Xian and King Kang at the same time. But who can do it? Can you? ?”

"...The future is bleak, and there are thousands of difficulties and dangers. In this case, you might as well help me. I will listen to the government behind the curtain, and you will be in charge of the economy. Zhao Zhun will handle all the things that are worthless and effortless..."

Su Yu burned the letter, and said to Cao Xiaobao in a calm tone: "Go back and tell her to concentrate on infiltrating King Kang's army, and I won't interfere. Don't even think about it on King Xian's side, I can't eat inside and outside. Tell her again, I am really not interested in the throne of the Liang Dynasty. Before the fight, it was not me who was fighting, but An Guogong and Xian Wang. Now they both let go, I don’t think I have the strength to fight Based on this, I would be very happy to be the regent and support my nephew Zhao Ce together with her."

……

The reconstruction of the imperial city involved a lot of civil engineering. According to Cao Yuzan's request, a Yuhuang Tower was to be built with a height of 99 floors.The little widow was about to die again, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry and a large group of people wrote a letter, asking the queen mother to take back her order.Later, it was changed to nineteen floors, but the Ministry of Industry still found it very difficult to do so. Later, when it was changed to nine floors, the Ministry of Industry dared not say that it could not be done anymore, so it decided to cover it.

For the Ministry of Industry, it is not difficult to build a nine-story building.Wanhua Building has nine floors.The key is that Cao Yuhan gave too little money.In the words of the Minister of Industry, the money is not enough to buy materials.But the Queen Mother asked him to build it, and if he couldn't build it, he would be dismissed.

Master Shangshu complained, but there was nothing to do, so he ran to collect donations.Shang Shu still has a lot of face, and the Ministry of Industry has also raised a large number of people colluding with officials and businessmen for so many years. Now it is not too difficult to squeeze out some money to repair the house for the Queen Mother.

The harem at this time is a large construction site.

In fact, Cao Yuzan wanted to rebuild the palace a long time ago, but was managed by the three old kings.Taking Fengshui as an issue at every turn, Cao Yuhan failed to realize her dream.This time, being smashed to pieces by Zhao Ting, Cao Yuhan can finally realize her dream.

Cao Xiaobao passed through the dilapidated gate of the imperial city, stepped over the collapsed gate of the inner palace, and returned to the half-remained Changqiu Palace, and conveyed Su Yu's words to Cao Yuzan.

Although the building was dilapidated, Cao Yuzan seemed to be in a very good mood at this time, lying on the couch, leaning on his head with one hand, happily eating raisins.

Emperor Daxing slept in the cradle, and the little black cat lay in front of the queen mother.That jet-black mass was hidden in the Queen Mother's black robe.If it does not open its eyes, it will not be able to see it in a trance.

After Cao Xiaobao finished speaking, Cao Yuzan snorted coldly: "Monkey thief, I knew he would say that. He is not too confused, he knows what is his and what is not."

Cao Xiaobao smiled and said: "The good old bastard will not live long, once he dies, only Zhang Yunlong will be left to deal with. The reason why Zhang Yunlong didn't come to court, it seems that he has thought about it."

Regarding Cao Xiaobao's words, Cao Yuhan didn't take it to heart, and looked lazily at the roof leaked by the huge rock: "I guess this monkey thief is also playing tricks, he won't let me infiltrate the army of the virtuous king, but he himself may doing this."

Thinking of something, Cao Yuzan frowned: "Will he send someone to infiltrate King Kang's army? If so, how should I prevent..."

……

Recently, Cao Yuzan's actions have continued one after another, and her four major generals have doubled, and now they can be said to be eight major generals.Talk in secret in the apse every day.And these eight people are all scheming people.

It may not be appropriate to describe Feng Zhao as sophisticated and calculating, but one thing is certain: it is more difficult to be a master of Qingtian than to be a corrupt official.

But he did it, which shows his wisdom.

Tang Zhen wanted to fight, and Cao Yuzan said he had no money, but this didn't mean that Cao Yuzan really didn't want to open up the Hexi Corridor.She never gave up the idea of ​​fighting for military power.Even now Kang Wang fully supports Emperor Daxing.But in Cao Yuzan's view, the most reassuring thing is that the military power is still in his own hands.

After all, Kang Wang supported his grandson, not his daughter-in-law.The grandson couldn't move, but the daughter-in-law said it would be wiped out.Therefore, Cao Yuzan did not dare to act rashly, and on the surface he wanted to fight against Tang Zhen.

It is also because of this that Cao Yuzan is very filial to King Kang, but not very friendly to other people.

Cao Yuzan only gave 50 million yuan to King Xian to rebuild Guanhai Building, but Cao Yuzan gave [-] billion to King Kang to build Guantian Tower.Her reason is that the foundations on King Xian's side are good, but King Kang's side has to be built from scratch.In addition, Cao Yuzan also gave Prince Rui's mansion that had been burned into ruins to King Xian, saying that it would be worth three billion yuan.

Cao Yuzan's blatant partiality really annoyed King Xian and sent eunuchs to scold her.She was not polite, and when the eunuch scolded her, she slapped the eunuch on the mouth.King Xian became furious, and sent a group of martial eunuchs to scold her, but she endured it.

All of this was played out for Kang Wang.

Of course, these are trivial matters and will not be upgraded. They are all under Cao Yuhan's control.What Cao Yuhan cares more about is the construction of his own team.Those who are related to Su Yu will be eliminated, including Ji Lingyun, Hua Tingfeng, Mei Hongshan, Zhang Mi, Wen Ren, Zhang Xiaodao and so on.

But Cao Yuzan rolled her eyes and calmed down the group of people again.
