When Song Liang mentioned his series of plans, he couldn't help but smile.
So perfect, so wonderful!
It is simply perfect!
The only thing to blame is that Cheng Xun is a solitary person on weekdays and doesn't know how to play both sides. He has offended many people invisibly.
Apart from the emperor, it is unlikely that any courtier would like such a prime minister!
Seeing that Zhou Nan was still immersed in shock, Song Liang smiled and said, "Master Zhou doesn't have to worry about the rest."
"You just need to be prepared in advance. When the day of impeachment comes, it's enough to say a few words against Cheng Xun."
"My father seems to have a good impression of you. Your speech will not cause my father's resentment!"
"You just need to think carefully about how to be the last straw that brings down Cheng Xun."
Although Zhou Nan was shocked, he did not dare to show it too much in front of Song Liang.
"yes!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely think carefully about what to do when the time comes."
I never expected that the third prince would be planning such a big conspiracy behind his back...
Taking advantage of Prince Rong's business trip and seizing the opportunity to bring down the Prime Minister, this trick is really vicious!
I wonder if Prince Rong can withstand it after learning all this?
…
The sun sets in the west and twilight gathers.
There are bursts of smoke coming out of every house, echoing the faint setting sun, giving it a warm atmosphere.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
As soon as Song Huan got off the carriage, he saw Cheng Xun and his family waiting at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Weak minister Cheng Xun, pay your respects to Prince Rong!"
With that said, Cheng Xun made a gesture to kneel down.
Song Huan rushed forward and reached out to hold Cheng Xun's arms.
"Father-in-law, how many times have I told you this! We are all a family in private, why do we need to give such a big gift again!"
"I came to the house today just to have a quick meal before leaving."
"You don't need so many etiquette!"
Cheng Xun, however, said solemnly: "His Royal Highness is the Rong Prince of Daliang, while the ministers are just ministers of Daliang."
"With both emotion and reason, all ministers should salute you!"
Saying that, Cheng Xun still knelt down.
Song Huan lowered his face and looked displeased.
"If my father-in-law insists on doing this, I will never come again!"
Seeing that Song Huan was dissatisfied, Cheng Xun no longer persisted and had to give up.
Everyone came to the dining table and sat down together. After drinking for three rounds, Cheng Xun's chatterbox gradually opened up.
"Your Highness, it's a long and high road to Mount Anning, and the journey is full of possibilities for accidents!"
"Your Highness, you must be careful in everything!"
Cheng Tianlin, who was sitting on the side, was also worried and said: "Yes, brother!"
"I've heard it a long time ago that unruly people come out of poor mountains and poor waters."
"It is said that in the Anning area, all the local people are kings of the mountains and refuse to obey discipline!"
"As an imperial envoy, you don't know if you will be in danger after you go!"
"Why don't I go and ask His Majesty for orders tomorrow to escort you to An Ning, my eldest brother?"
Song Huan waved his hand and said with a smile: "How can it be so scary!"
"Everything in the world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are all the ministers of the king."
"No matter how powerful the local people are, can they still stand on their own?"
"Besides, I'm on this trip as an imperial envoy, not to suppress them with force!"
"Anning County is at the junction of Daliang and Xia Kingdom. If such news reaches Xia Kingdom, I don't know how they will laugh at us!"
When Cheng Xun heard this, he nodded in agreement.
"It is precisely because you cannot use force easily that your Highness must be extremely careful!"
Song Huan smiled and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, there are many people going on this trip, not just me."
"They say you should be polite before fighting. If negotiations don't work, it's not too late to send troops to suppress it!"
"My trip is easy, but I'm afraid someone will attack my father-in-law when I leave!"
Cheng Xun smiled lightly: "Wei Chen knows that he has never been good at playing both sides."
"Sometimes he is too upright, and invisibly, he makes many enemies in the court."
"But Cheng has never done anything untoward, he is upright and will not let anyone get the blame!"
"Even if you want to attack Wei Chen, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it!"
Song Huan sighed slightly.
"My father-in-law's character is of course impeccable. He just needs to be on guard against others. He needs to be careful about everything!"
"It all shows that guns are easy to hide, but hidden arrows are difficult to guard against."
"If someone is doing something unseen, wouldn't it be impossible for us to guard against it?"
Cheng Xun didn't say anything more when he heard this, but nodded solemnly.
"Your Highness's concerns have been kept in mind."
"This cup, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Highness."
"I wish your highness a safe journey and immediate success!"
Song Huan then raised his glass and said, "Then let me borrow my father-in-law's good words!"
…
After having enough wine and food, night falls.
Cheng Susu was ordered by Cheng Xun to send Song Huan out of the mansion, but neither of them hurriedly walked out of the mansion. Instead, they strolled to the pond in the back garden of the prime minister's mansion.
Cheng Susu kept her head lowered and said nothing, staring at the thin layer of ice on the pond in trance.
This girl is like a lark on weekdays. Every time we meet, there always seems to be endless new things to say.
If you don't say a word today, you must have something on your mind!
"Susu, you..."
"You'd better say something!"
"If you don't speak, I don't know what to do!"
Cheng Susu raised her beautiful eyes and glared at Song Huan with a hint of anger.
"If my father hadn't come home today and mentioned that you were going to An Ning as an imperial envoy, I would still have been kept in the dark!"
"Why are you in such a hurry and want to leave immediately?"
"Our wedding is coming soon, and if you leave, it will be delayed again..."
Saying that, Cheng Susu curled her lips a little aggrievedly.
Song Huan's eyes widened and he pretended to be innocent: "Sister-in-law, you have wronged me!"
"I have been staying in Yangxin Hall since the morning session today. When I return to the palace, I will be busy with Sun Shutong's affairs."
"I finally got some free time, so I immediately came to the Prime Minister's Mansion just to inform you of this matter in person."
"Otherwise, why do you think I would come here?"
Seeing Song Huan's serious look, Cheng Susu's tone finally softened.
"Although I have known for a long time that you are bound to get this tranquility, and it is impossible not to go."
"But I didn't expect that you would go so suddenly!"
"You'll be away for at least half a month, and it's more likely that you won't be able to come back until after the new year..."
When she thought about not being able to see Song Huan for such a long time, tears of grievance filled Cheng Susu's eyes.
At some point, this man who once disgusted her so much has been deeply rooted in her heart, making it impossible for her to forget him!
Even if they were only separated for ten days and a half, it made her feel very uncomfortable!
