Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Xie Shang went directly to the emperor's study. At that time, the emperor was summoning ministers to discuss state affairs. Jiang Jinyan was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so he was naturally there too.

Xie Shang strode over and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Father."

The emperor said to his ministers, "Everyone, please leave!"

The ministers bowed respectfully to the emperor and the prince, and said, "We will take our leave."

Just as Jiang Jinyan was about to leave, Xie Shang said directly, "Marquis Wu'an, please stay."

The Minister of Revenue Zhao Zhenyuan knew that Jiang Jinyan had always been the prince's right-hand man. Although he worked in the Ministry of Revenue, he was more popular than him, a second-rank minister, and even surpassed him.

However, Jiang Jinyan also has the identity of Marquis of Wu'an, so Minister Zhao has to bow whenever he sees him.

Minister Zhao must have been unhappy, but he did not dare to show it and left respectfully with several other officials.

There were only three people left in the imperial study, and the emperor said, "What happened? Why are you leaving so quickly?"

Jiang Jinyan thought it was some secret and said quickly, "I will leave first."

"No need." Xie Shang said directly.

The emperor also paused and said nothing.

Xie Shang said, "I just went to the cold palace and found out that the Imperial Concubine Su in the cold palace was a fake. The real Imperial Concubine Su is no longer in the palace."

After hearing this, the emperor frowned and his expression turned ugly. "Where else would she be if she is not in the palace?"

"I guess she has left Shengjing City and gone to the border. She must have taken her away when the old lady of the Su family left. We were completely kept in the dark. It seems that the old lady of the Su family doesn't take our Xie family seriously."

"What are guards for? They don't even know when people have been switched." The emperor said coldly.

"Father, it's no use to hold the guards accountable now." Xie Shang already had a plan in mind, so he kept Jiang Jinyan as well. There were some things he wanted Jiang Jinyan to hear.

He added, "You also know that the Su family has military power. It used to be in the hands of General Su and Madam Su. After General Su passed away, it was in the hands of Su Dehai, and now it is in the hands of Su Xuan. Now, Madam Su still has the final say behind the Su family.

Concubine Su was her most beloved daughter. Back then, her father summoned the daughter of the Su family into the palace and made her a concubine, which gave them the highest honor. At the same time, he also wanted to keep the daughter of the Su family in the palace. Her father did control the Su family for another ten years, but now that Old Madam Su rescued her daughter, this control was broken.

It is almost impossible to rely on Su Tingwan to contain the Su family now. The Su family has already given up on Su Tingwan. Even if Su Tingwan is kept as a treasure, Su Xuan will definitely not take Su Tingwan into consideration if he wants to rebel.

Fortunately, Su Dehai was detained in Kyoto for a year. I think that if we really let Su Dehai go back after a year, the Su family will definitely take action again. "

Jiang Jinyan had never thought that he would hear the Crown Prince and the Emperor discussing such an important matter. He just felt the tendons in his feet digging into the ground and was very nervous.

These words were not something that he, a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue or the Marquis of Wu'an, could listen to.

Ruan Ruan's original goal was to deal with the Su family. At that time, he didn't understand why he had to deal with them. The two families in Jiangsu had never had any intersection until she married Xie Shang, and Xie Shang married Su Tingwan as a concubine. He finally understood.

He felt that Ruan Ruan was simply daydreaming. How could a little girl like her shake the foundation of the Su family? She said that it was definitely impossible for a little girl like her to do so, but it would be a different story if she brought the royal family into the picture.

Ruan Ruan really did ask the prince to deal with the Su family.

However, the emperor did not express his opinion and did not want to touch the Su family at all.

The emperor's face was cold, and he suddenly stared at Jiang Jinyan. Jiang Jinyan quickly knelt down to express his sincerity, "What the Crown Prince said today, I will definitely keep to myself. I swear on my life, or on the Jiang family, that I will be loyal to your majesty and the Crown Prince until death."

Xie Shang's eyes were deep. "Of course I know Jin Yan's loyalty, but the Su family was granted power during the reign of my grandfather. Old General Su made great contributions to my grandfather's defense of the border. Now it's Su Xuan's generation. The Su family's contributions to the royal family are indelible. If the Su family wants to rebel, they will be supported not only by hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, but also by many more complicated relationships."

A lot of first-hand information was brought back from the border by Jiang Jinyan and given to Xie Shang. As for how the prince and the emperor would deal with him, he had no idea. After all, the emperor's considerations were more thorough, and they were just small ministers who could only obey orders.

Finally, the emperor said, "It's still a one-year deadline. Prince, hurry up and do it!"

As for the Imperial Concubine Su in the cold palace, she is a fake, so just keep her for now. Now that this incident has happened, maybe Madam Su wants to ask the royal family for someone else.

After Xie Shang and Jiang Jinyan left, the Queen also went to the Emperor's palace and said that she wanted to take Ye Susu out of the cold palace for the sake of the royal heir.

It also said that the Crown Prince had agreed, but in the end he ordered the palace to be sealed. There must have been something that the Crown Princess said to the Crown Prince.

After hearing this, the emperor felt that she didn't understand her son at all, and said calmly, "Leave the affairs of the Eastern Palace to the Crown Princess. The Queen should cultivate herself in Kunning Palace and stop interfering too much."

The Queen said, "I am also thinking about Shang'er and the royal heir." The Emperor also loved Jiang Fenghua and really spoiled her like his own daughter.

"Is the Crown Princess planning to murder the Crown Prince?" The Emperor, as expected of an Emperor, asked a direct question.

Empress Cheng was at a loss for words. "There is no evidence that the Crown Princess wanted to harm the baby in Ye Susu's belly. I really feel sorry for the child. She was implicated by Su Tingwan and was banished to the cold palace. Didn't the Emperor praise her for being as brave as a man? It's rare for a woman to serve as a doctor to treat refugees."

The emperor said calmly, "But now she is not a doctor. Since she has chosen to enter the harem, she should know the rules of the harem. Neither I nor the queen can control the prince's harem." What's more, she is involved with the Su family. The queen never cares about the affairs of the previous dynasty, so it is useless to talk to her about these things.

"If Jiang Fenghua was locked up in the cold palace, would the emperor care?" the queen said bluntly.

The emperor's face turned cold. "Isn't she the daughter-in-law that the queen had begged for? Why is she dissatisfied now?"

The queen saw that the emperor was in a bad mood. Yes, the daughter-in-law she married for her son was very opinionated and didn't listen to her at all.

"The Queen feels that the Prince is out of your control and has forgotten his mother now that he has a wife!" The Emperor saw through her thoughts. "Back then, the Queen took the initiative to sever ties with the Cheng family. I think the Queen did the right thing. Now it seems that the Queen is still reluctant to let him go. If the Queen is reluctant, I should let you go with that man."

Queen Cheng was terrified and thought, "After all these years, you still remember me. You want to force me to death before you are satisfied, right? The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and he and Su Qingqing are in love with each other, so can't she have someone who truly loves her?"

Queen Cheng came out crying. He was the one who wanted to marry her into the palace to be his queen. He thought she wanted to be his queen. But the man who loved her the most was forced to death in the end.

Empress Cheng almost gnashed her teeth as she endured the emperor's scolding. She was the empress and she had to secure her position as empress. She had endured all these years, and Shang'er had become the crown prince. If she could endure a little longer, she would be able to succeed.

Queen Cheng lived her entire life without understanding why she was able to sit firmly on the throne of queen. Just now, she finally understood that the reason she was able to continue to be queen was not because the emperor liked her so much, but because the Cheng family voluntarily withdrew from the court and she cut off contact with the Cheng family.

She always thought that she was also the beloved daughter of Duke Cheng, and that the Cheng family's contribution to the Xie family was no less than that of the Su family. The Cheng family was defeated because she did something wrong. In fact, the emperor used this incident to force the Cheng family to withdraw from the court and kept the Su family to serve him. The Su family would naturally be loyal to the emperor as they had only one family.

If both the Cheng family and the Su family were kept, it would be difficult for the emperor to control them, and his kingdom would be threatened.

The Xie family's kingdom was as solid as a rock in the hands of the emperor. He made all the plans from the throne, and even the Su family, who had long revealed their ambitions, did not dare to make any moves in the hands of the emperor.
