Chapter 6
"Grandpa, you are not young anymore, so why worry about the country's affairs! Since the emperor has regarded you as a stare, he must get rid of our family. No matter what you do, it is useless. It is better to wait for death in vain. By handing over the military power to the emperor, on the one hand, you can dispel his alienation from you, and on the other hand, you can temporarily preserve the lives of our whole family." Situ Zhaoxue's analysis of every sentence made sense, making Situ Wenbo and Situ Xuan both eyes one light.

"Continue talking..." Situ Wenbo urged.

"Furthermore, Grandpa, you can ask the emperor to resign, saying that you are old and weak, and you want the enemy to resign and enjoy life in seclusion. In this way, the emperor will disappear most of his dissatisfaction with us. After we leave, although we will still send people to spy on us We, but it’s better than turning our whole family around. Anyway, we just need to ignore him. When the time passes, we’ll be safe! Besides, grandpa, you don’t like being an official, do you? Resign and retire Afterwards, Grandpa will be free to do whatever he wants..." Situ Zhaoxue continued to analyze.

"Well! Well! Good! Little baby Zhaoxue said everything makes sense! Little good way, good way! I don't want to be such a dog P prime minister for a long time. I guard against this and that all day long, which made my gray hair increase. Already!" Situ Wenbo nodded heavily in agreement.Situ Zhaoxue looked at Situ Wenbo's head full of white hair. Does this mean that white hair has increased?This should be called white hair!

"Well, what Baby Zhaoxue said is right. This is indeed a solution that has the best of both worlds. But is it so easy for the emperor to believe it?" Situ Xuan asked the most important question.

"No problem! Come... let's do this... this...then!" Two big heads and one small head gathered together and chattered.Gongsun Yun, who had been standing by the side, couldn't stop laughing secretly. My baby Zhaoxue really surprised me a lot!

The next day, rumors spread throughout the city that the Prime Minister of the Left, Situ Wenbo, suddenly fell ill last night and fell to the ground, leaving Situ's mansion in chaos.

There were even rumors that Situ Wenbo had contracted a serious illness and passed away last night.Everyone was disturbed.

In the early morning, Si Tuxuan even resigned from office on behalf of his father to the emperor, saying that his husband suddenly fell ill and could no longer assist the emperor. He ordered the ministers to return the military power to the emperor, and hoped that the emperor would forgive his father for not being able to serve the emperor anymore.

Of course, the emperor first pretended to stay, and then sighed with pain on his face. Finally, he approved Situ Wenbo to resign and return to his hometown to recuperate. Xuan thanked the emperor sadly, got up and left.The emperor left behind to look at Situ Xuan's leaving back with a thoughtful expression, "It seems that the rumors are true, Situ Wenbo is indeed suffering from a serious illness, otherwise he would not have ordered Situ Xuan to return the soldier amulet, look at his anxious expression on returning home It doesn't look like a fake, now that you have the military power, let them go!" The emperor laughed happily with the military talisman in his hand...

According to the eunuchs in the palace, the emperor is very happy today, and rewards everyone he meets, and the happy smile has never disappeared on his face...

After Situ Xuan returned to Situ Mansion, his mournful face immediately changed into a smile, and rushed into Situ Wenbo's room. Situ Wenbo was lying on the bed pretending to be sick. Situ Xuan announced the good news to Situ Wenbo and told him the hundred acres of fertile land bestowed by the emperor. , a house and gold ten thousand taels.Situ Wenbo was so happy that he wanted to laugh, but Situ Xuan covered his mouth forcefully.In normal times, Situ Xuan wouldn't have dared to give him ten guts. Now is an extraordinary period, and one must be careful in everything. Xiao Zhaoxue said that one step can't be wrong, and she must act according to Xiao Zhaoxue's words.

Just like that... the news that Situ's family resigned and left Beijing spread throughout the capital.Everyone knew that Prime Minister Zuo had resigned and said he was going back to his hometown to recuperate.The plan was performed smoothly according to Situ Zhaoxue's script.

But the people in the Situ family didn't know about it. Situ Xuan led people to prepare everything in secret. Except for Situ Wenbo, Situ Xuan, Gongsun Yun and Situ Zhaoxue, no one in the Situ family knew about it, not even the old lady. .

Everyone is still living their normal days, it is always quiet before the storm...

Some day in October.

In the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a small delicate person was lazily lying on a deck chair covered with blankets, his eyes were blank, and he was yawning boredly.Standing next to them were two maidservants with delicate faces, who were extremely bored playing with their long soft hair, and sighed slightly.

This delicate person is the very boring Situ Zhaoxue, "Ah... so boring! Xiaomei, Xiaolan, is there no place to play in the mansion?"

Xiaomei and Xiaolan pondered for a while when they saw the sudden question of the little princess who had been wandering too far all day today and had no energy. "Master Xiaoqun, haven't we been to all the interesting places in the mansion? You went to the orchard the day before yesterday and said you wanted to catch birds, but you attracted a lot of bees. Fortunately, the young master arrived in time, otherwise the little princess would be killed. You are so full of bites. Yesterday you said that you would come to the lake to feed the fish, but all the Jin Li in the lake died because they were too full. The master didn’t lose his temper with you, but the young master was miserable. The master scolded me so much that I couldn't lift my head!" Xiaolan counted Situ Zhaoxue's "glorious" achievements in the past two days.It made Situ Zhaoxue purse her small mouth with displeasure on her face.

"Miss, can you play with the young masters and the others?" Seeing Situ Zhaoxue's pitiful expression, Xiaomei at the side instantly felt a little worried, so she came up with an idea to let Situ Zhaoxue play in the yard where the young masters lived.

"Oh? We haven't been to my brothers' yard yet! My brothers don't come to play with me, don't you hate Zhaoxue?" Situ Zhaoxue, who had heard that she was going to play with her brothers, was about to leave happily, but suddenly thought of six A brother never came to play with him.He couldn't help pulling down his lovely face with a sad expression on his face.

"Hehe...Young princess, you are wrong! The young masters have come here countless times!" Xiao Lan told Situ Zhaoxue the secret she accidentally discovered with a charming smile.

"Huh? But I've never seen them before? Why didn't they come in and look for Zhaoxue?" Situ Zhaoxue stared at her big eyes and asked in puzzlement.

"Because I can't get in! That day, my little princess, you went to deliver fruit to the eldest grandma. When passing by the small courtyard, I heard the eldest master say to Brother Wang who is guarding the gate: If the young masters want to go in to play with the little princess, don't let them go." Let them in, do you understand? If they refuse to obey, just say this is my order. Then the young master muttered, let the little bastards go in to play, what if my baby Zhaoxue is taken away! Absolutely No way! Huh!" Xiaolan solved the secret of why none of the young masters came into Situ Zhaoxue's courtyard.

"So that's how it is! My dear father won't allow my brothers to come into my yard, so I can go to their yard! Hmph... Bad father, I will report him to my mother tomorrow!" Situ Zhaoxue said. He had an expression of venting his anger for his brothers, but his small eyes were full of sly smiles.
