Shen Qingyun snorted: "You deliberately brought Prince Liang to meet with me. What was your plan?"
"What do you mean intentionally?" Su Chengwang shouted softly: "He just happened to come to me, happened to meet up with the Chinese New Year, happened to be thinking about your general, and just happened to be drunk and slept here. If there was no escort from His Highness, last night Jin Yiwei assassinates, maybe something will happen..."
"Haha..." Shen Qingyun said expressionlessly, "Isn't it just right to have so many?"
"It's not..."
The old man was somewhat unsure.
"Alas..." Shen Qingyun sighed: "You have always told me everything. It's already this time, why are you still hiding it? Ah, Mr. Su Xiangguo!"
Su Chengwang was stunned, "You know?"
Shen Qingyun glanced at Su Chengwang, "Am I really a fool in your eyes?"
Last time about Zhu Cong's incident, Shen Qingyun had already guessed Su Chengwang's identity.
He also asked Zhong Qi to check, and with Mr. Wangshan's signature, Shen Qingyun basically locked in Su Chengwang's identity.
Now that the fifth prince Xiang Ling appeared and called Su Chengwang his teacher with a respectful attitude, Shen Qingyun was completely sure.
Su Chengwang's name is quite important in Dachu, and it only takes a little exploration to find out.
When Xiang Qian, the current Emperor of Chu, was still the prince, Su Chengwang was an official in the East Palace. After Xiang Qian came to the throne, Su Chengwang became the first official in the East Palace. Before Xiang Qi took charge of the East Palace, several princes were taught by Su Chengwang.
In this three-acre area of Da Chu, Su Chengwang's reputation and status are truly extraordinary.
"I have never underestimated you." Su Chengwang shook his head.
"Then tell me, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
Su Chengwang looked solemn and said thoughtfully: "Your status is different now. When you arrive in the imperial capital, you will definitely become the target of various forces vying to win over you. Instead of letting you sway, I would like to choose a clear path for you first."
"You call this a bright road?" Shen Qingyun shouted: "Your Majesty has already appointed a prince, and now you ask me to get close to other princes. This is called a bright road? This is called a dead end, right?"
After saying that, Shen Qingyun looked at Su Chengwang suddenly and said hesitantly: "Why do you want to help the fifth prince fight for the heir apparent?"
"Be careful what you say!" Su Chengwang glared and said, "You dare to say such things, are you really not afraid of death?"
"Am I not afraid of death? It's you who wants me to die."
"Nonsense." Su Chengwang shook his head, "When did I want you to die? Will I kill you just after meeting the fifth prince?"
"Didn't you ask me to seek refuge with the Fifth Prince?" Shen Qingyun opened his mouth.
"Nonsense." Su Chengwang snorted: "Do you think I am an old fool?"
"Your Majesty has appointed a crown prince. The prince is the foundation of the country. As your Majesty's minister, I am loyal to Da Chu. How can I shake the foundation of the country?"
Shen Qingyun relaxed a little after hearing this, "If you had told me earlier, I thought you had some profound meaning in this move."
Su Chengwang smiled and said: "If you want to talk about the profound meaning, it does have some meaning."
"What is it?"
Su Chengwang said: "The fifth prince has always been peaceful, and he is very close to the prince. Although he has never revealed it, there is no guarantee that he will not have other thoughts. You are here, so I want to see his reaction."
Shen Qingyun frowned when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, "Are you using me as bait?"
"You can't say that, it's just a small temptation."
"What's the result?"
"It's not unexpected." Su Chengwang shook his head, "Don't worry, this is what His Majesty meant. Otherwise, I would have retired and returned to my hometown, and I wouldn't mind these nosy matters."
"Your Majesty?" Shen Qingyun was surprised.
Su Chengwang said: "The fifth prince came to Liangzhou to open up river channels under His Majesty's order to prevent the spring tide from flooding the people after the spring begins.
This matter is not a big deal. You can just send an official from the Ministry of Industry. You can even issue a decree and let the local officials supervise it. There is no need for a dignified prince to personally dispatch it. You should understand the profound meaning of His Majesty. ? "
Shen Qingyun snorted lightly, "What you said actually made you blame me."
Obviously Xiang Qian also made an impromptu decision and sent Xiang Ling over after knowing that Shen Qingyun was in Liangzhou.
Therefore, it was not that Su Chengwang wanted to test Xiang Ling, but that Xiang Qian wanted to see Xiang Ling's reaction.
His own son has such calculations, is he an emperor?
Shen Qingyun shook his head secretly.
"Why is this your fault?" Su Chengwang smiled, "It's just a coincidence. Speaking of which, you can be regarded as doing something for His Majesty."
"Haha..." Shen Qingyun twitched the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Su Chengwang shook his head and explained: "It is enough to have King Cheng competing with the prince. If there is another King Liang, it will be superfluous. I just do it casually and tell you that I am getting better. Don't spread it to others. Do you understand? ?”
"I know, I know, I haven't lived enough yet, why am I talking nonsense?"
Shen Qingyun waved his hand, "Okay, I understand what you mean. Since it is His Majesty's wish, I will naturally cooperate. If the fifth prince obviously wants to win over me, I will report it to the head office immediately, right?" "
"That would be best."
"So, the clear path you mentioned is actually for me to join the prince, right?"
Su Chengwang nodded and said solemnly: "The prince is the prince, and allegiance to him means allegiance to the future emperor. As a prince of the British government, how you serve your majesty today will be how you serve the new king in the future. In addition to the prince, if you If you dare to get close to others, Your Majesty will not tolerate you."
"Ha..." Shen Qingyun curled his lips, "I'm timid, please don't scare me. If it's really so serious, then it's not your turn to remind me. The princess and the British prince are not fools. If it makes sense, If it’s that simple, then what else do you need me to do?”
Su Chengwang fell silent upon hearing this.
Shen Qingyun was originally Yue Lianshuang's shield, and he married into the family to ensure that Yue Lianshuang could continue to be in charge of the Yue family.
If it was as simple as Su Chengwang said, as long as he favored the prince, then Yue Lianshuang would have done it long ago.
If not, it means there are other problems.
There are other reasons why the British government cannot stand in line. Perhaps the Chu Emperor does not allow it, or the prince himself is not happy, or Yue Cheng is unwilling. In short, it takes time to explore the reasons.
"You boy, you are so hard to fool."
Shen Qingyun grinned, "Don't try to trick me."
Su Chengwang shook his head, "You are a decisive person, so I won't say more. I'm telling you now, but I'm afraid it may not be clear. You will know when you get to the imperial capital. It depends on how you choose then. You’re on your own.”
"I am a daughter-in-law, do you understand that when I get married, I will be a wife?" Shen Qingyun laughed and said, "The princess is the head of the family, and I listen to her."
Su Chengwang was stunned when he heard this and laughed dumbly.
On the other side, Xiang Ling and Feng Lin were waiting for the doctor Si Niang invited. After diagnosing and treating Feng Lin and prescribing medicine, they returned to the room.
"Your Highness seems to have something on his mind?"
Seeing that Xiang Ling was a little distracted, Feng Lin asked.
Xiang Ling smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine. How is your injury?"
Feng Lin nodded and responded: "The internal force is backlashing, and it will be fine after a few days of conditioning."
"To be able to escape from your hands, this Jin Yiwei is indeed quite capable."
Feng Lin said: "Qibu news, this person is none other than Sheng Lingyun, the son of Sheng Yuanbai, the governor of Suzhou in the Yan State. He is the flag envoy of the Jinyi Guards. Sheng Yuanbai is the head of Xiaojianlin and a member of the Yan State. Among the countless masters, Sheng Lingyun has obtained his true inheritance, which should not be underestimated."
Xiang Ling smiled and said, "You have always thought highly of yourself, but I didn't expect you to think so highly of Sheng Lingyun."
Feng Lin shook his head, "This man has deep inner strength. Even if I use the Jade Realm Divine Art, I can't completely remove his inner strength. If he doesn't run out of arrows, I have no confidence in defeating him."
Xiang Ling frowned when he heard this, "I can't interfere too much in the affairs of the Seventh Division, but to have such an important identity as Sheng Lingyun to pursue him like this, Zhuge Yan's identity is probably unusual."
Feng Lin didn't say anything when he heard this. Since it was related to Qibu, it was best to stay away from him to avoid trouble.
Xiang Ling just had some doubts in his heart. As for what the situation was, he didn't want to explore it.
"Lao Xiangguo just came to see His Highness. What's the matter?"
Xiang Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I have never understood why my father sent me to do something just to expand the river. In the past years, there were similar situations, and I was never asked to do it. Today I saw Shen Qingyun, I want to understand one or two reasons."
Feng Lin was puzzled, "Your Highness means that Your Majesty wants His Highness to come and meet with Shen Qingyun?"
"You could say that."
Xiang Ling nodded, "Shen Qingyun will soon be a prince of the British government. He is the target that everyone wants to win over, especially...Brother Prince Cheng and Brother Cheng, and I..."
Xiang Ling smiled bitterly, "I already have an uncle who is the Marquis of Huaiyang. If I take Shen Qingyun under my command again, even if I don't have any influence in the court, I will definitely be a thorn in the flesh of the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng. Father may be doing this just to see my reaction, but as long as I perform well, I am afraid that I, the Liang King, will live up to my name."
King Liang lives up to his name, that is, Liang Liang.
"So that's it." Feng Lin expressed some shock.
Xiang Ling shook his head and said: "I wonder how the old prime minister could be so enthusiastic about me. He must have understood my father's intentions, so he deliberately asked me to meet Shen Qingyun. General Lijiu is just a pretext."
"Then your highness, you..."
Seeing Feng Lin's worried look, Xiang Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, my father has his considerations, and I naturally have my own concerns.
This trip is based on the imperial decree. Whatever the imperial decree is, I will do it. I won’t care about other things. "
As for Shen Qingyun, the British government's breakthrough point...
Xiang Ling secretly thought that it was a pity that even if this piece of meat was delivered to him first, he would never be the first to take the chopsticks.
