"Cousin?" Yao Junxian suddenly took a breath, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.
"Exactly, the purpose of His Highness's southern tour is to bring Shen Junfang into the palace." Ou Suiliang didn't seem to notice the wariness in Yao Junxian's eyes, and continued with a sigh, "I originally thought that Shen Junfang just wanted to use his status as a concubine to find a job.
He was only an official, but who would have known that he would start making trouble as soon as he entered the palace? To be honest, not only Master Yao was influenced by him, but even I could not escape the blame. That’s why Your Majesty has alienated me recently and is always on the same page with Mr. Shen.
Together."
Shen Junfang is fair and fair, thin and tall. Although he always looks sickly, he has a noble and heroic spirit in his bones. Yao Junxian is not so boring that he thinks Yi Huaiyu has the habit of Longyang, but Ou Suiliang explained Shen Junfang's identity.
Before, he really didn't expect that there was a relationship like Su Shiyun between the two.
Who is Su Shiyun? She was the woman Yi Huaiyu fell in love with at first sight. Even though she was unable to sit in the back position because of her humble background and lack of power, in Yi Huaiyu's heart, she alone was worth the beauty of the Sixth Palace, plus such a favored person.
The arrogant cousin, Yao Junxian, does not think that his life will be easy in the future.
Or maybe Yi Huaiyu deliberately asked Shen Junfang to deal with him?
A chill rose up from Yao Junxian's back, quickly spreading all over his body and turning into cold sweat on his forehead.
Sima Tulan's status today is largely due to the power of him and Sima Yuan. Now Yi Huaiyu has created a "cousin" out of thin air and given him power. It is obvious that he intends to support Shen Junfang to fight against their nephew. In this way, Yao
Won't the advantages of the Yao and Sima families be lost? At best, it balances the situation, but at worst, this is probably a precursor to Yi Huaiyu's plan to get rid of the Yao and Sima families.
"General I have followed the emperor for many years, and even if he has no credit, he has worked hard. Most of this country is the blood and sweat of General I. Now the Emperor favors a young boy and ignores General I. It is really unfair to General I!" Yao Junxian sighed with emotion,
Instead of expressing his worries, he kept complaining about how unfortunate Ou Suiliang was, which seemed to add fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, as Yao Junxian thought, the two chatted for half an hour, and Ou Suiliang's dissatisfaction became more and more obvious.
"The rabbit dies and the dog cooks, the country is ruined and the ministers perish. Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for good ministers to be trustworthy but doubtful, and loyal ministers to be slandered. It seems that the emperor is not exempt from the vulgarity." Having said what should be said, Yao Junxian narrowed his eyes slightly and pressed his words.
He tried to express his thoughts from the bottom of his heart, "If this continues, we will all become the dogs cooked to death and the ministers who were killed. We have been so unjustly accused. General, I have never thought about seeking justice for myself?"
"How to ask for it? Go and tell His Majesty Shen Junfang that he doesn't distinguish between loyalties and traitors and is misleading the public with his evil words? Your Majesty must believe it!"
"Everything in the world has its roots. Since the Emperor can't explain it, why not cut off the crisis from the root?" Yao Junxian deliberately said half and half, and seeing Ou Suiliang's confused look, he put aside his words and chuckled in a low voice, "Yes.
Then Mr. Shen has taken away General I's favor and put us in a disadvantageous situation. As long as he takes him... won't everything be fine?"
Seeing Yao Junxian making cutting motions towards his neck, Ou Suiliang pondered for a moment and revealed a look of realization: "Master Yao means... do it without stopping and avoid future troubles?"
Yao Junxian nodded heavily and sighed in his heart - Ou Suiliang understood what he meant. This kind of idea that can only be understood but not expressed in words is really a headache. Although it took a lot of effort for Ou Suiliang to understand the intention, but
Yao Junxian was still very satisfied. After all, Shen Junfang was a popular figure in front of the emperor. If he wanted to move him, it would be best to have someone with the same interests to help him.
Regarding Yao Junxian's proposal, Ou Suiliang did not immediately nod in agreement. He frowned and thought about it for as long as a cup of tea before he cautiously said: "I will try my best to arrange this matter. In addition, I hope Lord Yao can agree to something.
"
"General, please speak." Yao Junxian said hurriedly.
Taking a deep breath, Ou Suiliang lowered his voice: "No matter what we do, don't tell General Sima - Mr. Yao should be able to see that General Sima is content with the status quo and is not dissatisfied. General Mo is worried that General Sima will accidentally leak the news. Then you will
My head will not be protected."
"This... it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with Yuan'er anyway. It doesn't matter that he doesn't know." Yao Junxian thought for a while, and then agreed.
Since Sima Tulan became the queen and Sima Yuan became the uncle of the country, the relationship between the nephew and uncle is not as close as before. From the initial decision to join forces with Yi Huaiyu to now, Yao Junxian believes that
He put in the most effort, but what is the result? Sima Yuan, who only knows how to act recklessly, is flattered because of his status as the uncle of the state, but he, the hero who single-handedly promoted the selection of the queen, is ignored. Even the gifts given by civil and military officials during New Years and holidays are all from Sima.
Yuan was noble but he was frivolous, and there was Yi Huaiyu. No matter what good deed was done, Sima Yuan had to be given priority, so Yao Junxian was naturally unhappy.
In addition, Sima Yuan also showed a certain degree of alienation from his uncle. Yao Junxian didn't know why, but it was true. At least Sima Yuan would greet him in the past, but now, he hasn't been to his room for an unknown number of days.
Already.
If he had known this, he should not have brought this ungrateful white-eyed wolf with him in the first place - Yao Junxian is not new to this kind of anger. If he can win over Ou Suiliang as a new ally, then his stupid and ungrateful nephew can be abandoned.
Yao Junxian likes to see that he can monopolize power without sharing his royal status with anyone.
On the second day of the secret talk with Ou Suiliang, Yao Junxian quietly entered the palace to see Sima Duran, and startled the noble empress as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Tu'er, what do you think of Ou Suiliang? If you don't object, I plan to petition the emperor to make him Yu'er's adoptive father."
"What are you thinking, uncle? Yu'er is a prince, how can there be any reason to find a general to be his adoptive father?" Sima Tulan, who is determined to take care of everything in the harem, is already familiar with the etiquette and customs in the palace. Looking at Yao Junxian's determined expression, she feels at ease.
Confused and worried, "Isn't my uncle the most fond of following people's influence? Now that Ou Suiliang has been ignored by the emperor, according to my uncle's temperament, he should stay away from him. Why did he actively ask for a closer relationship? What is this secret conspiracy?"
Yao Junxian's face turned red and his teeth itched with anger. He glared at his outspoken niece and gritted his teeth as if he didn't hear her.
"It's precisely because he was neglected by the emperor that he wanted to win over him. Look at the current situation. Although Yuan'er is in charge of the Imperial Forbidden Army Camp and tens of thousands of elite soldiers outside the imperial capital, the group of troops originally led by the emperor are still under the command of Ou Suiliang. If he is determined
What should I do if I am dissatisfied with the cavalry and cause trouble? I am doing this for the good of you and the emperor, racking my brains and trying every possible means to appease Ou Suiliang, but you say that I am following the trend... I am really ignorant!"
Sima Tulan laughed dumbly.
Anyone in the world might be doing it for her and Yi Huaiyu, but Yao Junxian was the only one who couldn't, but he shouted the loudest. People's hearts were apart, and Sima Yuan had obeyed Yao Junxian's words for so many years, unlike her who was a little more wary.
, if Yao Junxian is determined to win over Ou Suiliang and isolate Yi Huaiyu this time, then she must do something.
