The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

After telling Captain Zhu about the northern barbarians' attack, Su Fengyi asked Wutong to escort Captain Zhu out of the mansion.

The reason why Su Fengyi wanted to tell Captain Zhu about this news was that the sooner the court knew about it, the sooner they could prepare and reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties.

Even if the current general of Xuanfu is a useless man who cannot fight, as long as the walls outside the city are fortified and the fields are cleared, enough food is stored inside the city, and the people are moved into the city early, the walls of Xuanfu are thick and the little prince of the Northern Tartars will not be able to attack it, which is enough to delay him for a while.

As long as they could delay for a while, until Shen He got deep enough into the heart of Northern Tartar, and Shen Quan recovered from his injuries and was able to lead the troops, they could arrange for General Shen to "die of illness" and give the little prince of Northern Tartar a big surprise.

However, the news of the Northern Barbarians' attack could not be spread from the Princess's Mansion, nor could Su Fengyi tell the Emperor.

First, it does not fit in with the character Su Fengyi created in front of the emperor, and second, even if Su Fengyi said it, the emperor might not believe it.

Captain Zhu took the opportunity of investigating Liu An to tell Qiao Gui, who then told the emperor that this was the most appropriate way to both get rid of Liu An and give early warning of the invasion by the northern barbarians.

After Wutong was ordered to escort Captain Zhu out of the mansion, he came back to report to Su Fengyi. After thinking for a while, he still said:

"I noticed Captain Zhu seemed to be crying."

It was not surprising for Captain Zhu to cry. He made a living in the East Factory, and crying to show his loyalty was his way of making a living.

The factory manager loved to see people kneeling and crying, so Captain Zhu cried eight or ten times a day, and it was not excessive for him to cry in a hundred or eighty different ways.

But what is strange is that Wutong actually mentioned it specifically.

Su Fengyi then asked Wutong:

"Why do you think he was crying?"

Wutong specifically mentioned this because he wanted to remind the princess:

"I think he has bad intentions. He cried for me on purpose so that I can tell Your Highness when I get back, so as to show his gratitude and loyalty to Your Highness."

Wutong spoke seriously, but Su Fengyi just laughed:

"It turns out that you have learned some skills from Xie Xuan. You are different now. In the past, I would not have cared about so many twists and turns.

Then Captain Zhu's tears today were in vain."

Wutong was a little anxious when she saw that the princess didn't take Captain Zhu's scheme seriously at all:

"Your Highness believed him, but I feel that he is not sincere and cannot be trusted for playing these tricks."

Su Fengyi really didn't take Captain Zhu's schemes to heart. As for the plastic cooperative relationship between her and him, who was more sincere than the other?

There is nothing much to say about this, but since Wutong asked specifically and was genuinely worried that she would be deceived, Su Fengyi was willing to teach her carefully for Wutong's sincerity.

Su Fengyi smiled and said:

"Whether Captain Zhu is sincere or not is not important. What is important is that he is willing to spend time showing his loyalty, which means he wants to be my friend, not my enemy.

When people get along with each other, some rely on affection, while others rely on profit. When you meet someone who is affectionate and righteous, you exchange your sincerity for sincerity; when you meet someone who pursues fame and profit, you exchange profit for profit.

If we help each other, we will naturally have many friends and few enemies, and that will be enough.

What's more, compared to sincerity, I think interests are more reliable. People's hearts are changeable, but interests are eternal."

Wutong felt that His Highness was being too absolute and could not help but defend himself:

"That's not entirely true. My loyalty to Your Highness will never change."

Subordinates show loyalty, so the boss should take it seriously. Su Fengyi said with a smile:

“Okay, okay, okay, I naturally know that our Wutong is the most loyal.

Xie Xuan is not here, so go and do a confidential matter for me. Tomorrow, I want the entire capital, from high-ranking officials to peddlers, to know that the northern barbarians are attacking.

Do it secretly, and you might be able to do it?"

In the past, such matters were handled by Captain Xie. This was the first serious task assigned to him by the princess after Captain Xie left.

How could Wutong refuse? He agreed immediately and took his leave to do it. But when he opened the door, he saw General Shen standing outside with his hands on the wheelchair, as if he was considering whether to leave.

Suddenly Wutong came out. Shen Quanruo's leaving seemed deliberate, so he decided not to leave and asked for a meeting:

"Is your highness here?"

Su Fengyi heard Shen Quan's voice. He was so close, if he happened to be outside the door, then her conversation with Wutong would have been heard by him.

I heard it, is there anything wrong?

Su Fengyi thought about it and felt that she had not said anything shameful, so there was nothing wrong with it, so she called Shen Quan into the study.

She did not mention whether he had listened to what she had said before. She opened the gift list on the table and said to Shen Quan:

"It will be Qiao Gui's birthday in a few days. I asked Dangui to prepare a gift. Please take a look and see if it is appropriate."

Struggle is not a dinner party, but it can be packaged as a dinner party. Su Fengyi prepared to package it. She first built up the reputation and affection between the Shen family and Qiao Gui's family, and tricked Qiao Gui into writing the imperial edict to the Shen family army.

"Your Highness will decide on this matter."

Shen Quan pushed his wheelchair into the study room and said frankly:

"There is something I want to ask for your forgiveness, Your Highness. I came at an inopportune time, and I did not intend to eavesdrop, but after hearing your heartfelt words just now, I also have something to say, and I would like to discuss it with Your Highness. Your Highness, please listen."

Su Fengyi wondered if her words, which only talked about interests and not feelings, were too damaging to General Shen's worldview. However, since it was difficult for him to say what he wanted to say, she asked sincerely:

"Appreciate further details."

Shen Quan said in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, as the old saying goes, if you make friends based on benefits, they will disperse when the benefits are gone, and if you make friends based on power, they will fall apart when the power is gone. What does that mean?"

Su Fengyi understood what Shen Quan meant, but she thought there was nothing wrong with it, so she said:

"It's just a one-time deal. Now that it's done, let's just go our separate ways. It's fine if we can all go back to our own homes and forget about each other. Why keep us here?"

Shen Quan looked at the eldest princess's expression and couldn't tell for a moment whether she really thought so or was just holding back because they were not close friends and were not very talkative.

I am not His Highness's confidant, so it is normal for His Highness to have some reservations about this matter.

But now that things have come to this, someone has to break the window paper.

Shen Quan thought, his life was given to him by His Highness, so naturally he should be the one who gives without reservation, or to put it bluntly.

Then Shen Quan said:

"If they all disperse, Your Highness will be left alone. How can you achieve your great wish?"

Su Fengyi finally understood what Shen Quan meant by this. She felt so amazed and asked him with a smile:

"What great wish? Shen Hongxian, what are you thinking about? He is my brother, what do you think I want to do?"

"Your Highness really has no such intention?"

"That's not the case. Why do you think so?"

When Shen Quan heard the princess say this, he understood that the princess really had no intention and he was indeed overthinking it.

Shen Quan laughed loudly and said:

"Hahahaha, it's Shen who is possessed by evil spirits. It's Shen's fault. Your Highness, please forgive me."

As for why he thought so, Shen Quan looked at the prince's bright face and thought that it was probably because of the prince's way of doing things and his decisiveness in killing in the past few days that reminded him of Taizu.

The eldest princess and Taizu were so similar in character that he couldn't help but have absurd thoughts when he looked at Her Highness's face which was exactly the same as the Emperor's.

That is, it would be great if the emperor could be like the eldest princess.
