200. Panic(2/2)
After all, Su Zhi is just the crown prince, not the emperor, and there is also Su Yi eyeing him.
No matter how you look at it, it is a stupid act now to spend energy to deal with Su Mo, because they can't afford to play and lose at all.
The same is true for Su Yi.
The most important thing for Su Zhi at the moment is to preserve the position of crown prince, eliminate Su Yi, and even obtain the throne as soon as possible.
The most important thing for Su Yi at the moment is to get the position of prince, get rid of Su Zhi, and even directly seize the throne.
Even their status in Nanzhao Kingdom was not stable, and they wanted to go far away to deal with Su Mo, the son-in-law of the Duke Rongguo Mansion of Dongming. That was ridiculous.
Only Su Zhen is the only one who has the energy to solve Su Mo. However, the time difference is no longer possible for him to control whether the sent people can succeed, and he can only wait for the result. The situation is completely reversed, he is passive, and he knows very well that he may suffer a great loss in the end without any gains.
When he received the news, Su Yan was on his way back to China.
Su Zhen was even more sure that everything was Su Mo's conspiracy. But he could not even instigate the relationship between Su Mo and Jun Zhaolin.
Because the status of the Duke Rong Guofu in Dongming was obtained by his strength, it was irreplaceable and extremely difficult to shake. It was Su Mo's backing and amulet in Dongming Kingdom. This time, the incident of letting Su Yan return to the country was obviously what Jun Zhaolin meant.
This means that there may be a shadow of Jun Zhaolin behind all Su Mo's actions.
If the Dongming royal family wanted to destroy the Nanzhao Kingdom, Su Mo was working with Jun Zhaolin... This idea made Su Zhen's spine even colder.
The Nanzhao Kingdom has a warm climate, fertile land, and abundant resources.
In recent years, the world has not been in a three-legged state, because the Nanzhao Kingdom is weak and is not qualified to compete with the Dongming and Xiliao. The comfort of the Nanzhao Kingdom was obtained in the cracks in the struggle between the two powerful countries, Dongming and Xiliao.
Su Zhen was not without a sense of crisis. After he took office, he had been working hard to make the Nanzhao Kingdom stronger.
Before forming an alliance with Dongming, Su Zhen believed that it was a stopgap solution and a good time for Nanzhao to accumulate energy.
A few months ago, Su Zhen decided to form an alliance with the Western Liao, with the intention of breaking the balance. At that time, he naively thought that the Nanzhao Kingdom had the qualification to be on par with the Eastern Ming and Western Liao, and thought he was self-righteous in declaring the rise of Nanzhao to the world, but he slapped Su Zhen in the face!
When Miao Qin concentrated the troops of Nanzhao, but even the Nanfeng City of Dongming could not be defeated, Su Zhen was furious and did not want to admit it, but had to face the reality that Nanzhao's army was really too weak.
Su Zhen could only issue an order to strengthen the army and let the training of troops every day be slackened. However, after carrying out the layers, he could not achieve the results he expected. In addition, he had no practical experience for many years, let alone soldiers, many generals were promoted just because they were familiar with military tactics or high martial arts skills. There were also mixed forces confrontations, which were simply useless.
The Eastern Ming Dynasty was a lion, and the Western Liao Dynasty was a wolve. The struggle between the two sides was constantly consumed, and at the same time, it was constantly improving and strengthening in the struggle.
The comfort Nanzhao obtained was a good time to keep a low profile, but it did not really achieve the goal Su Zhen imagined.
A sick cat is a sick cat. No matter how hard you try to show your power, you will not become a tiger, and it will only become a joke.
But the time is gone. Even if Su Zhen now realizes that he has not really made Nanzhao strong in the past years, many goals have not been implemented, and there will be no such good chance of breathing again.
The evil wolves in the Western Liao Dynasty have never been bad, and now, the Dongming lion has extended sharp claws to Nanzhao...
After sitting till dawn, Su Zhen became more and more awake. He decided not to care about Su Mo for the first time, and the first step was to stabilize the Nanzhao royal family and never create civil strife again, as this would only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.
Once Su Zhen appointed Su Zhi as the crown prince, but did not stop Su Yi from growing up. He believed that he gave his sons a sense of competition and better trained them.
But now, the Nanzhao Kingdom cannot withstand any storm, and the conflict between Su Zhi and Su Yi can no longer intensify. Su Zhen must select one heir from it, and then depose the other one.
Su Zhen hesitated about this.
Although Su Zhi is the crown prince, he is impulsive and irritable, and his mind and strategy are not as good as Su Yi. However, if Su Zhi is abolished, the queen and the Miao clan will definitely not accept his fate.
It was dawn, and Su Zhen changed his dragon robe to go to court. He looked at the minister below and was distracted several times.
After the court was over, Su Yi, who got married yesterday, took Sun Roujia to the palace to pay tribute to the tea.
It went very smoothly because everyone had something to worry about and had no intention of trying anything to do with these little things.
Then, Su Zhen went to the imperial study room and summoned several confidant ministers to discuss matters.
Empress Miao hurriedly left the palace and went to the prince's mansion to visit Su Zhi, who was in a coma after vomiting blood last night.
Su Yi took his newlywed wife Sun Roujia to Mei Suxin's Hanxiang Palace.
The ninth princess Su Yi didn't know what was going on, but she was still naive. She deliberately held Su Yi's arm intimately in front of her new sister-in-law, chattered, and left Sun Roujia aside.
The exquisite makeup could not cover Mei Suxin's tired expression. She felt noisy when she heard Su Yi's words, so she asked Su Yi to take Sun Roujia to the Imperial Garden for a walk.
"Mother, I don't want to go to the Imperial Garden, it's meaningless." Su Yi refused to go.
Mei Suxin's face darkened, "No rules!"
Su Yi rarely saw her always gentle mother get angry. She was shocked and didn't dare to contradict her, so she had to take Sun Roujia out.
Sun Roujia had a bad face and just forced a smile. She knew that there had been a lot of troublesome things that made Su Yi feel in the past two days, and even the completion of the task was done sloppy last night, which made her feel aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Su Yi didn't care about Sun Roujia's mood at all. When they went out, his expression suddenly sank, "Mom, my father, is it Su Mo who is doing it?"
Mei Suxin nodded with a cold face, "I believe it. If I hadn't guessed the truth at that time and told it immediately, I would have been sent to the cold palace last night!"
The more I think about it, the more I hate it, and the more I hate it when I say it.
"Su, Mo!" Su Yi's eyes were cold, "Didn't you say that he will live in a few years?"
"Don't you understand that Xie Jingci and him are mixed up with him? He must have had secret contact with the Xie family. If Xie Yin had treated and detoxified him before his death, he would not have died!" Mei Suxin said coldly.
Su Yi's face was deep, "It seems that Su Mo has been dormant over the years and has hidden too deeply. Dongming Lord Zhaolin gave him a marriage and chose Rong Lan's daughter, which gave him a great opportunity to turn things around! Rong Yuanqiu was the biggest variable! I thought it was just a vulgar village girl flying to the branch. When I got the news, everyone here was mocking Su Mo for marrying such a woman. Who would have expected that she was an amazing miracle doctor! Rong Lan deposed Mu Zhenxuan and took office, her daughter married the princess, and her son married the princess, all of which became Su Mo's backing!"
I used to think that everything was under control, but now when I look back, I realize that Su Mo has already lost control, but they realize it later. By the time they realize it, it will be too late.
"He is far away in Dongming. If he wants to provoke civil strife in the Nanzhao royal family, he will ignore him for the time being." Mei Suxin frowned.
Su Yi nodded, "Since the matter is clear now, in order to prevent civil strife in Nanzhao, the father will either be Su Zhi or me, and he will soon decide the heir. If the father chose not me, I will have no way to die!"
Mei Suxin's expression was even more ugly. Su Zhi was at least justified, and it was too difficult for Su Yi to take office.
But now, if the result is not what they want, there will be no chance to fight for.
"Yi'er, what do you think you should do?" Mei Suxin's eyes narrowed.
Su Yi was silent, with a dark light raging in his eyes. He spoke after a long time, and his voice was low, "It's best to force Su Zhi to rebel first. In this way, we wait for the right time to take action, calm the civil strife, and naturally get that position."
Mei Suxin's pupils shrank, "Then your father..."
"The father will be killed by the rebellious Su Zhi. If I kill Su Zhi again, what do you think?" A ruthless look flashed in Su Yi's eyes.
Mei Suxin's face turned pale and she didn't say anything, but nodded.
"Then we need to plan a good idea and set up a plan." Su Yi whispered.
On the other hand, after Su Zhi woke up, his mental state was still very poor, and a slight noise could scare him.
Miao's eyes were red and she kept cursing Su Mo, hating her to death.
Miao Qin was worried about what happened next. It seemed that the alliance between Dongming and Nanzhao was gone. If Dongming took action against Nanzhao, Nanzhao would be in danger!
After thinking about it, Miao Qin realized that only by quickly strangling the signs of civil strife to death in Nanzhao, he could continue to find a way to survive in the cracks between the Eastern Ming and Western Liao.
Miao Qin couldn't help thinking that Su Zhen has always pampered Mei Suxin and valued Su Yi over the years. He has said more than once that Su Yi is the smartest among all his sons.
At this moment, Su Yi had dispelled Su Zhen's suspicion of his collusion with Su Mo. If Su Zhen deposed Su Zhi and changed Su Yi to the crown prince in order to completely settle the Nanzhao royal family...
The more Miao Qin thought about it, the more he felt that it was not impossible.
Although Su Zhi is justified, Su Zhen’s imperial edict can make him lose everything.
It’s better to take advantage of the legitimate reason and get that position as soon as possible to save you from having too many dreams. If you wait any longer, the result may not be what they want!
Miao Qin told his sister Empress Miao about her concerns. Miao looked shocked, but she quickly understood Miao Qin's meaning.
So, here also began to secretly plan for the next thing.
Su Mo did not show up from beginning to end, but the panic caused by his Nanzhao royal family did not allow those people to unite and work together to deal with him. Instead, he completely tightened the string that had been pulled between Su Zhen, Su Zhi and Su Yi and his son for many years to the point where they might break at any time.
Before dawn, Yuan Qiu was woken up by Su Mo. She put on her clothes in a daze, let Su Mo cover her eyes and carry her on her back and exit the door.
On the way, Yuan Qiu slept for a little more time. When he woke up again, he was already on Jingshan in Mingyue City.
The breeze was slightly cool, the blindfolded ribbon was taken off, and the vision was vast. Yuanqiu saw a red sun gushing out from the east, reflecting half of the sky red. The spectacular and magnificent scene made her sigh, "It's so beautiful!"
Su Mo sat next to Yuan Qiu, holding her hand and pressing it on her face. With a chuckle, the beautiful immortal fell into the mortal world. "I used to sit here countless times, but for the first time today, I felt that the sun in Mingyue City was also warm."
When the two were about to go down the mountain, Yuan Qiu discovered the other side of the mountain, and the convenience was Nanzhao Palace.
"Su Momo, how do you think those people slept last night?" Yuan Qiu's lips curled slightly.
"Xiao Qiuer, I slept well last night and dreamed of you." Su Mo hugged Yuan Qiu and leaned against him, smiling faintly.
It seems that answering the question is not the question, but Su Mo is actually saying that those people have no effect on him. What he is happy about is not the people who die in pain, but Yuan Qiu's intention to avenge him.
"What did you dream about me?" Yuan Qiu was curious.
Su Mo sighed slightly, "In my dream, you want to eat me."
Yuan Qiu coughed lightly, "Su Momo, dreams are the opposite of reality."
