Lin Miaozhai

The young woman changed the tea and water again, and still sat down cross-legged, the white gauze skirt was wide, and the moment she sat down, the white calves were exposed, and the group of people in the room all looked at it involuntarily, and then they all withdrew their eyes, they seemed to be in awe of this young woman, but they didn't seem to be so sincere in awe.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

The young woman doesn't seem to care about the eyes of those people at all, they are not people who have never seen women, these people, what beauty in the world has not enjoyed, but in such a strange atmosphere, she is the only woman, so she will naturally be paid more attention.

"Things were actually done very safely back then, the problem was not on our side, but on Li Chengyuan and Li Chengtang."

The young woman was washing tea and talking, her movements were gentle and soothing, as if the spring breeze had blown the willow branches and shook the petals.

"Li Chengyuan found out what Queen Su did, so he was furious."

The young woman's voice is not very light, a little hoarse, but it makes people sound very comfortable, she speaks as if she is unfolding a picture scroll, telling the story, let people see not only the story but also the scenery.

Everyone looked at the old man who seemed to be asleep at the same time, it shouldn't seem that he was really asleep, no one woke him up, just looked at it, because the identity of the old man was indeed a little different.

His name is Su Zhongmao, the head of the Su family, and his old age gives him an experience that no one else in this house has...... Empress Su is his eldest daughter, he is a member of the Coexistence Society of that generation, a member of the Coexistence Society of the previous generation, or a member of the Coexistence Society of this generation, whether it is seniority or prestige, he is the strongest one here, and he knows far more secrets than others, that is, the most useful one.

I don't know if I happened to wake up or felt the gaze of those people, Su Zhongmao raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then smiled apologetically and said: "I'm old, I can't stay up, and I'll be sleepy if I sit for a long time, I'm really sorry, I don't even know that Cheng Gong is here." ”

"Su Lao doesn't have to be so polite."

The young woman said softly: "If Su Lao feels tired, you can go into the inner room and lie down for a while, and we will all wait for you." ”

"No need."

Su Zhongmao sat up straight, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I know you're all curious, your fathers were involved in that, but they won't tell you everything, and you've heard a little bit about it back then, but it's to protect you children by not letting you get involved...... But as elders, before I say this, I hope you can all understand one thing, what we are going to do now, what we have done in the past, is it right or wrong? ”

Everyone fell silent, as if it were not an easy question to answer.

"It's wrong."

Su Zhongmao slowly exhaled: "No matter what we say, how high-sounding reasons we give, how beautiful feelings we give, and how excellent our prospects are, but in fact, each of us knows in our hearts that what we do, whether it is before, now or in the future, as long as we are doing it, it is wrong...... But since everyone knows it's wrong, why keep doing it? ”

Su Zhongmao pointed out

pointed to his heart: "Because of greed, even if I rely on the old and sell the old, I beg you juniors, don't think about what you can do or I can do, and don't think about any reasons to hide from the world, let alone comfort yourself while doing things and say that this is for Daning, no, we are bad people, we are doing bad things, not to protect Daning, not to protect the royal family, just for our selfish interests." ”

In fact, everyone knows that this is the case, but who would say it so bluntly, so as soon as these words came out, everyone was a little confused and a little resistant, and some people's faces were slightly hot.

"It's all for profit, so why make yourself sound righteous?"

Su Zhongmao was indeed too old, and he tried to sit up straight to make himself look more solemn.

"That year, it was the old man of the Gao family who convened the meeting...... It's not that I suddenly want to get together to discuss something, it's just that for so many years, everyone has been afraid, the Li family, how ruthless is the Li family? Besides, people didn't do anything wrong, from the perspective of the royal family, what did people do wrong? ”

Su Zhongmao took a sip of water and continued: "It's our fathers and ancestors who are too greedy, more and more greedy, insatiable, take your Cheng family as an example, Chang'an City transformation, your Cheng family has hundreds of more ancestral properties, His Majesty didn't say anything at that time, but will he not be angry will have no opinion?" Speaking of myself, our Su family, when Chang'an City was renovated, we also occupied hundreds of rooms......"

He was a little regretful: "Our ancestors, we have done too much, I don't know what the scale is, if they knew, the Li family would not have done it, and they have indeed always remembered the legacy of Emperor Taizu, the Li family must not be ungrateful, the Li family has not forgotten, but we ourselves take these things too seriously, and feel that it doesn't matter how presumptuous we are, and even unscrupulous, so it is common sense that the rights are gradually emptied." ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "But the hearts of the people are unwilling, unwilling to be taken away from their things, so the old lady of the Gao family gathered everyone together, the south and the north, just to get people together It took more than a year, people arrived in Chang'an, in this Lin Miaozhai, the old lady of the Gao family was respected by us as the proprietor of the coexistence association, everyone swore that they would work with one heart and one mind, the premise is that we cannot rebel, we cannot overthrow the Li family, the Li family is not ungrateful, we cannot forget, we can not destroy Daning, We may make Daning hurt for a while, but we will try to heal the wound and then make Daning stronger, which is the premise. ”

"With this premise, we began to discuss what to do, and at that time, I got into the horns, and I couldn't actually do anything under this premise, and then I had a child...... It was brought by the old man of the Gao family, and his disciple, named Mu Zhaotong, said that he was a child, and he was not young at that time, but he was young, because the old lady of the Gao family really liked him, so he told him such an important matter, hoping that he could help come up with ideas. ”

"Mu Zhaotong said, if you don't oppose the Li family, you don't oppose Daning, you don't oppose the country, then the only thing you can do is to change people within the Li family, so there is a later twenty-year plan, and this plan is called the Twenty-Year Plan."

Su Zhongmao talked too much and became wheezing, the young woman immediately got up, walked behind him gently, and pinched Su Zhongmao's shoulders with both hands very gently, Su Zhongmao glanced at her gratefully, and then continued: "Mu Zhaotong said, in fact, it is not difficult to break this situation at all, let's let Jiangshan or the Li family be finished?" ”

He glanced at everyone, and everyone was there

looked at him attentively, they knew more or less about these things, but they didn't know everything, and the one who was still alive knew everything was Su Zhongmao.

Han Zhaozhi speculated that there was no one who was still alive in the world, because he was misled, the people of the Su family were not in Chang'an, many people were not in Chang'an, and there was no evidence that Su Zhongmao came to Chang'an, so until now, the target of Han Zhaozhi's investigation is still in the families of the ministers in Chang'an, and the Su family left the capital to return to Huai'an's hometown before that meeting, and the reason why he arranged for Da Qingyi to go to Huai'an to investigate was a natural sensitivity and pursuit of details.

Su Zhongmao continued: "Mu Zhaotong said that a relatively long plan can be made, which will take almost 20 years to complete, and the first step of this plan is to win the trust of Li Chengyuan, and do his best to support Li Chengyuan and squeeze out Li Chengtang...... The higher his position in the cabinet and the greater the power he controls, the easier it will be to carry out this plan. ”

"The third step is to find a way to make Lee Seungwon's queen come from our family, anyone can do it, and finally it fell into our family, and my eldest daughter was elected as the queen......"

Su Zhongmao let out a long breath: "I also bitter her, embarrassed her...... She is the key to the implementation of the fourth-step plan, she tried her best to make Li Chengyuan have no queen, not only secretly medicated the nobles in the palace, but also gave Li Chengyuan medicine, and in the end, it was done, Li Chengyuan never had any descendants, and then it was time for the fifth-step plan to be implemented. ”

"This needs to wait for a while, to wait for Mu Zhaotong's power to be heavy enough, this process has taken ten years, and in the past ten years, while holding up Mu Zhaotong, he has continued to do whatever it takes...... Yes, he continued to give medicine to the nobles and Li Chengyuan in the palace by unscrupulous means, and in the past ten years, other plans are still being made, that is, to ensure that the children in the princes' families are not big, what about the big ones? Find a way to get rid of ...... Whichever family is more obedient will choose whichever family, now you probably have also thought of it, it is not unreasonable to choose Li Xiaoran, the son of King Lu, and it is not a random choice. ”

"After this ten-year period passed, Li Xiaoran was already a teenager and easy to control, so the fifth step plan came, my daughter poisoned Li Chengyuan, and then discussed with Mu Zhaotong to choose the prince of Lu Wang to go to Beijing, everything was planned...... We only need to control one generation of emperors, in fact, we don't need one generation, it is enough to control ten years, even if we control Li Xiaoran for ten years, the people of the major families will return to the court, all the powers are in the hands of our families, it only takes ten years, ten years is not long, but it is ...... counted."

Su Zhongmao let out a long breath, that was a grievance that had been accumulated for thirty years, how could it be spit out.

"After all the calculations, we didn't calculate that Li Chengtang, who had been suppressed to the point of having no power at all, would actually snatch away what we had worked so hard to calculate."

This sentence was very long, so after he finished speaking, he coughed violently, coughing like an old shrimp, lying on his back, as if he could die at any time.

"Damn Pei Tingshan!"

Su Zhongmao scolded, his eyes were still unwilling.
