In order to make these Zhao Song clan members even more crazy, Suning can be said to have made a lot of efforts. The biggest result was to secretly persuade and win over the top noble British Duke, and then the British Duke could accompany him obediently.
He played this big show for everyone, and the British Duke indeed mobilized the elite armed forces of the Ningyuan Army in Bianjing Mansion with the help of Suning. Soon, everyone from the imperial palace to the city patrol department was captured by King Yong and King Yan.
It is controlled by a lot of people, but Prince Ning's Mansion closes its doors every day and refuses all guests.
In the eyes of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Bianjing City, Prince Ning's Mansion is like a declining high-ranking nobleman. Many people have sensed the subtle atmosphere in Bianjing City recently and try to stay away from the once unattainable place.
Prince Ning's Mansion, so naturally, Prince Ning's Mansion suddenly became deserted.
"Master, Mr. Sheng from the Sheng family's main house is here." Su San, the housekeeper of Prince Ning's Mansion, walked directly in front of Suning and Princess Huirou and said.
"Oh? It's quite benevolent. He's much better than Sheng Hong, the second wife of the Sheng family. You take them to the backyard to get together with Mrs. Shu and the other daughters of the Sheng family, and give them some more gifts before leaving." At this time.
Suning and Princess Huirou couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, and then Suning made her own arrangements with a smile.
"Master, the eldest son of the Sheng family also brought his youngest daughter Sheng Pinlan, saying that she has reached the age of hairpin."
"Haha, interesting! It seems that this is a neglected character. You must know that many people want to stay away from our Prince Ning's Mansion." At this time, Princess Huirou also smiled in astonishment, realizing that there are still many people in the world.
Hidden smart people.
"Master, do you want to bring the master of the Sheng family here?" Su San then looked at Suning in front of him again and asked.
"That's fine! I really should come forward and meet this cheap father-in-law. In addition to the newly delivered Sheng Pinlan, they have just married two daughters into their Yuyang family."
Soon Su San brought Da Lang and Sheng Pinlan to the living room again. As soon as he saw Suning on the throne and Princess Huirou beside him, he quickly saluted, "Shengze, a commoner, has seen the prince! Met the princess!"
"Please get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Princess Royal."
"You don't need to be too polite! Strictly speaking, you are also my father-in-law, so wait and see." At this time, Suning looked at Shengze in front of him with a smile on his face, and there was no trace of the depressed mood that should have been expected of him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Father-in-law, is this the sister of the Sheng family, Pinlan?" At this time, Suning noticed the shy and tall girl beside him, then looked at Shengze with a smile and asked.
"Exactly! I thought Pinlan was already fifteen years old this year, so I shamelessly sent her to the palace."
"Father-in-law, life in Prince Ning's Mansion is not very easy at the moment. Many dignitaries in Bianjing hide whenever they can. Why do you do the opposite?" Then Suning said with a meaningful expression on his face.
He looked at Shengze in front of him and asked.
"Your Majesty, Xiaomin is just an ordinary merchant. He doesn't know much about the important affairs of the court, but he also knows that our Sheng family will always be loyal to you, Prince Ning."
"Well, father-in-law, it seems that you are really a smart man. From now on, the salt affairs in Yangzhou will be left to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will do my best to handle this matter." At this time, Shengze stood up in surprise and thanked him, feeling that his investment was really worthwhile.
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated! After all, it's our own business, Prince Ning's Mansion, and no one can say anything."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
Then Suning just looked at the slightly shy little girl, and then handed her over to Su San, the housekeeper of the palace. After the father and daughter of the Sheng family left, Princess Huirou looked at her with a smile.
Suning said, "My lord, it seems that the eldest son of the Sheng family is also a wonderful man, much better than the second-in-law Sheng Hong."
"Huirou, the main reason is that Sheng Hong is angry with me. I refuse to reuse him in the officialdom, and I am too harsh on him in personal matters. In addition, Wang Ruofu and Wang Ruoyu poisoned the old lady. He
But I think Minglan's handling method is too intense, and I also think Minglan has gained my favor." Suning understood Sheng Hong's complicated mentality very well, and analyzed it with a nonchalant smile.
"Huh! Pedantic! No bottom line! How can this kind of waste be reused?" What Princess Huirou despises the most is such a man who has no bottom line.
"That's right! There are too many such cautious and mediocre people in the official circles of the Song Dynasty. Naturally, we don't want him to get involved again."
"Your Majesty is wise."
…
In Bianjing, Sheng's family, and Lin Zongshuang's small courtyard, Sheng Molan hurriedly found Lin Zongshuang, then looked at Lin Zongshuang eagerly and asked, "Miss, I heard that someone is coming to Youyang's hometown?"
"Yes! It's your uncle who's here, and your uncle also brought that Sheng Pinlan."
"Ah? Sheng Pinlan really entered Prince Ning's Mansion?" Hearing that Sheng Pinlan successfully entered the Prince's Mansion, Sheng Molan couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Yes! I just feel that the Sheng family's behavior is too irrational. The whole world knows that Prince Ning has lost power now, so it would be too stupid to send his daughter away at this time." Seeing Sheng Molan's jealousy and impatience, Lin Yu
Shuang shook her head disapprovingly.
"My dear, I also want to go to Prince Ning's Mansion. Can you think of a way for me? As long as Prince Ning has seen the Demon Dance that I have practiced hard over the past few years, he will definitely fall in love with me." In order to successfully enter, Sheng Molan
Prince Ning's Mansion has been working hard in recent years, begging Lin Jiaoshuang to teach them the ancestral Heavenly Demon Dance.
"Mo'er, are you stupid? Prince Ning has lost his military power, and even Princess Huirou, the crown prince, has been kicked out of the palace. Prince Ning's palace is in a precarious situation!" Lin Zhishuang was very confused and could not understand herself.
My daughter is extreme. She believes that to be a good person, you must learn to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
"My dear, this is my only chance! I have been practicing Tianmo Dance for so long just to please Prince Ning. Besides, the ups and downs in the officialdom are not normal." At this moment, Sheng Molan was still very nervous.
Sticking to her own point of view, she also disagreed with Lin Zongshuang's worries and fears, because she believed that a skinny camel was bigger than a horse.
"Stop talking! Your father has decided to arrange a marriage for you with Liang Liulang of Earl of Yongchang's Palace, so don't think about entering Prince Ning's Palace anymore." Although her daughter was very insistent, Lin Zhishuang still made the final decision.
They refused, and also revealed their arrangements for Sheng Molan's marriage.
"Ah? I don't want it! I don't like that Liang Liulang."
"That's enough! What's wrong with the Liang family's status as Earl of the Liang family because of their parents' orders to find a matchmaker?"
"Humph! If you want to marry me, you can marry yourself. Anyway, if you kill me, I won't go to the Liang family."
"Mo'er, how can you be so unreasonable? I have tried my best to plan for you. It seems that I am usually too pampered towards you and have not learned the wisdom from your little mother."
"snort!"
Recently, the Sheng family in Bianjing has been a little anxious and angry. The current situation is really too delicate. In fact, Sheng Hong's original intention was to get rid of Suning's shackles far away. Unfortunately, now he can only follow the path of Prince Ning's Mansion.
It was dark, so Sheng Hong, who had ulterior motives, wanted to stop his losses in time. Coupled with Lin Zongshuang's pillow wind blowing in his ears, Yongchang Earl's Mansion, which the Sheng family had previously looked down on, became a good match.
At first, the Yongchang Earl's Mansion was quite surprised by the Sheng family's change of heart. Later, they realized that this was because the Ning Prince's Mansion was in a state of decline. The Yongchang Earl's Mansion was actually a little jealous. It was not that they were not keen on forming a relationship with the Sheng family.
In this marriage, they are planning to ask for a large dowry from the Sheng family. After all, their Yongchang Earl's Mansion is in a situation where their wealth is in ruins, and they urgently need a large amount of wealth to maintain their family's luxurious life.
"Mother, my son has decided to let Mo Lan and Liang Liulang of Earl's Palace of Yongchang discuss marriage." Sheng Hong came to Shou'an Hall and found Mrs. Sheng, and then reported his thoughts to the old lady.
"Well, the Liang family is also considered a noble Earl's house, and this marriage is not bad." At this time, Mrs. Sheng was also quite satisfied with the identity of the Earl of the Liang family. After all, Sheng Molan was just a daughter of a concubine, and she could marry into Yongchang.
The Earl's Mansion is also because of the relationship with Prince Ning's Mansion.
"It's just...it's just that the Earl of Yongchang suddenly asked for a large dowry, and it's not enough even if Miss Lin and I spend our savings." Then Sheng Hong explained hesitantly. It felt like the Liang family had taken this bite.
Too cruel.
"What? The prince has given our family a lot of wealth in the past few years. How could it not be enough for Mo'er's child's dowry? How much did the Liang family ask for this time?" At this time, Mrs. Sheng couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.
He opened his eyes and realized that the Liang family must have opened their mouth to the lion of the Sheng family.
"Shili Hongzhuang."
"What? Thanks to the fact that the Liang family can open their mouths, do they really think that our Sheng family is being taken advantage of?" Old Mrs. Sheng slammed the table angrily, feeling that the appetite of the Liang family was too much.
"Mother, it's not that the recent trend in Bianjing is too subtle. Many people have seen the loss of power of Prince Ning and Princess Huirou."
"Hmph! Hong'er, do you think so too?" Mrs. Sheng first snorted disapprovingly, then looked meaningfully at her son in front of her and asked.
"Eh? Mother, Prince Ning has been impeached by the courtiers and lost his military power. Even Princess Huirou, the crown prince, has been driven back to Prince Ning's Mansion to stay behind closed doors. Isn't this an obvious loss of power?" Sheng Hong explained there as a matter of course.
said.
"Idiot! Who else in the world can mobilize Prince Ning's Ningyuan Army? Maybe even the officials can't do it in person. Haven't you seen the situation here?" Looking at this stupid son with limited talent in front of him, he said
At that time, Mrs. Sheng looked very depressed.
"Ah? The British Lord is our top nobleman in the Song Dynasty. There must be no problem in mobilizing the Ning Yuan Army who also belongs to the Song Army, right?" The stupid Sheng Hong immediately retorted disapprovingly. He always felt that the old lady valued Suning and Ning Yuan Army too much.
"Hong'er, you really disappoint me. King Ning and Ning Yuan's army started out as rebels. In recent years, King Ning has integrated all the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, and only used the method of transfer.
The ethnic groups migrated to the southwest and northeast in this way, and their control over the world far exceeds that of previous dynasties. How can others be allowed to arbitrarily encroach on the military power in their hands."
"Then...didn't the British transfer all the elite Ningyuan troops from Bianjing City?"
"Hmph! Then there is only one possibility. The British Duke is also a member of Prince Ning, or he is a member of Princess Huirou."
"Ah? Mother, you mean..." At this moment, Sheng Hong's eyes widened in horror, realizing that Suning was deliberately playing a big game.
"That's right! This Prince Ning of our family is just fishing. If he wants Princess Huirou and Prince Ning's son Zhao Ren to secure the throne, these Zhao family clan members must be completely eliminated, and indeed there is no such thing as them.
It’s even more perfect if you jump out on your own initiative.”
"Mom, what about the marriage between Mo'er and the Earl of Yongchang?" Sheng Hong swallowed hard, and then looked at the old lady with both eyes again.
"Hmph! Tomorrow Prince Ning's Mansion will hold a family banquet for Shulan and Pinlan, and we, the female members of the Sheng family, are also invited to attend. I just happened to take Mo Lan with me to the Prince's Mansion. I think Prince Ning should give me this old woman.
A face."
"Mother, you are tired."
"Hong'er, now our Sheng family and Prince Ning's mansion are both prosperous and disadvantaged. This is something that the Sheng family has long seen, so no matter where Prince Ning and Princess Huirou go, our Sheng family can no longer
The first rat has two ends."
"Yes! Mother, my son understands."
…
The reason why Suning asked Princess Huirou to hold a family banquet for Sheng Shulan and Sheng Pinlan was mainly to allow them to reunite with their families. After all, Sheng Shulan and Sheng Pinlan were not suitable to leave Prince Ning's palace and return to their natal family to visit relatives. Therefore, in this delicate situation, this family
The banquet seemed so precious, so the main room and the second room of the Sheng family were very happy and happy.
"Pinlan, are you still used to living in Prince Ning's Mansion these days?" Suning looked at the beautiful little girl in front of him with a smile, feeling as if he was in the season of love again.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! Everything is fine with Pinlan." At this time, Sheng Pinlan replied a little shyly, not daring to raise her head to look at the man in front of her.
"Haha, Pinlan, I heard that you were just a skinny monkey in your hometown in Yuyang. Why are you so restrained when you come to Prince Ning's Mansion?"
"Ah? Prince, you...you know me?"
"Of course!" Suning directly pulled the surprised and surprised little girl in front of him into his arms, then looked at Sheng Pinlan with a face full of pain and said with a smile, "I know a lot about you, and you can still be free in Prince Ning's Mansion from now on.
No rules or regulations will be placed on you."
"Thank you, Pinlan, for your care, Your Majesty."
"Silly girl, if you want to thank me, you can't just say it with your mouth!"
