Different generation married man

Chapter 175 Mantis Catching Cicadas

"Eldest Prince, please drink tea." Waiting for the servant girl serving the tea, Chen Yue made a gesture and said, "I just found something, and I am going to report it to the Eldest Prince!"

"What did you find?" Chen Zhi wasn't in the mood to drink tea at this moment, he took a sip of tea in his mouth, and put it aside.

"In the past few days, the people I sent out found something."

"what's up?"

"I thought that there were people around Su Mo who would be difficult to attack, so I thought about starting from the sugar factory to see if I could get sugar-making technology. After all, such a large factory has dozens of people up and down. They are all of one mind with him.”

Chen Zhi hurriedly asked, "The result?"

Chen Yue shook his head, "I didn't get it, but I found out that the people in his factory are all retired soldiers, all of them." He looked at Chen Zhi, "You know that means what?"

Soldiers!Private soldiers!

In Daqi, soldier is a very sensitive word. After all, such a big event happened not long ago, and the instigator had many private soldiers in his hands.

Chen Zhi raised his eyes to look at him, "What do you want to say?"

"What does he, a commoner, gather so many soldiers for?" Chen Yue turned his head and looked at the weeping willow not far away, with a flash of coldness in his eyes.

Stopping just right, Chen Zhi looked at Chen Yue in horror, as if he had never known him before, but only saw the flash of cruelty in his eyes, which made him startled.

"You're thinking……"

The issue of military power was originally a sensitive topic for Yu Daqi, otherwise the first emperor would not have been so afraid of the Guan family, even the crown prince.

What's more, half a year ago, such a major event of treason occurred in the capital, resulting in the death of the two princes and the late emperor.

In such a sensitive period, with so many retired soldiers gathered around Su Mo, what is it if they don't want to rebel?

Even if it wasn't, they still have a way to settle the matter. In short, just put the blame on Su Mo.

In this way, not to mention Su Mo, I am afraid that the whole village will be implicated.

Chen Zhi suddenly smiled, and stared at Chen Yue closely, "That Mr. Zhuo is from the Zhuo family, aren't you afraid that he will also get involved?"

Chen Yue took one step on the half-played chessboard, and with just one step, he blocked more than half of the good situation on the other side.

He snapped his fingers, "Young Master, you are joking, I am from the Chen family, and of course everything is in the interest of the Chen family."

"Cousin is right!" Chen Zhi laughed, and took advantage of the movement of drinking tea, and took a deep look at Chen Yue. The two of them were tender and affectionate just now, and they can say such words without mercy in a blink of an eye. , this Chen Yue is more ruthless than he imagined.

Chen Zhiwei lowered his eyes, hiding the fear in his eyes.

What Chen Yue said earlier was mainly to please Chen Zhi, but he didn't know that it made Chen Zhi guard against him instead.

"Does the eldest son think this method is feasible?"

"It's feasible, it's feasible!" Pressing the various thoughts in his heart, Chen Zhi said matter-of-factly, "But the Yu family is not a vegetarian, it's one thing for us to take action against Su Mo, but it's another time to rush to the Yu family thing."

However, Chen Yue laughed, "So what about the Yu family? When it comes to treason, even the Yu family is the same. At that time, do you think the Yu family will stand up for him? Or abandon the army to protect the commander in chief?"

"But don't forget, there is also the person who killed the dead man last time. We haven't found out who it is yet."

Chen Yue said, "No matter who they are, even if they are relatives of the emperor, once it comes to treason, they will be wise to protect themselves, and they will rush to get involved in this troubled water?"

Chen Zhi pondered, "I'll tell my father about this. As for how to do it, it's not something we can care about."

"Young Master, what you said is true." Chen Yue also knew that if he really wanted to accuse Su Mo of treason, it would have to involve a game of various forces.

It is even related to the front court and the harem, things of this level are no longer something they can intervene in.

After Chen Jinpeng got the news from the eldest son, he immediately went to see the Queen Mother.

Chen Zhi and Chen Yue just thought of a way to deal with Su Mo through this matter, but Chen Jinpeng thought more and further.

The Yu family has always belonged to the emperor, generation after generation, and it is by no means an exaggeration to say that the monarch and his ministers get along well. The most important reason is that the Yu family has no involvement in government affairs or military affairs.

But if the Yu family secretly raises private soldiers by taking advantage of business, he doesn't believe that the emperor can still sit still, and will continue to trust the Yu family.

Now, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and has not yet established enough trust with the head of the Yu family.

If news that is unfavorable to the Yu family comes out at this time, no matter how the matter ends, a thorn will definitely be planted between the emperor and the Yu family.

Even if there is only a little bit, it will become a prairie fire one day, and that is enough.

As for the power to protect Su Mo, Chen Jinpeng had the same idea as Chen Yue. As long as he was not the emperor, no one would dare to touch him when encountering treason.

None of these people thought about Zhuo Yan. After all, half a year ago, Zhuo Yan was poisoned to save the emperor. There was no cure, and he was doomed to die.

Now half a year has passed, maybe the grass on the grave has grown a foot long.

That night, Chen Jinpeng's request to see the queen mother was put on the emperor's desk.

The emperor turned his head to the darkness and ordered, "Continue to stare at them, and pay more attention to the wind and grass outside the palace."

A voice came from the darkness, and it fell silent again.

At the same time, Zhuo Yan also received the news.

During this period of time, Xiao Liu has been investigating the cause of Mei's death, but because too much time has passed, those people who died back then are almost dead, and it is not easy to find out.

Although there was no clue about Mei's death, he intercepted the letter from the Chen family, copied the letter, and put it back as it was.

He sent this news to Zhuo Yan overnight.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Su Mo asked, "What happened?"

"The Chen family passed the news to the capital. They found out about the recruitment of retired soldiers by the sugar factory, and they wanted to make a fuss about it." Zhuo Yan handed the letter to Su Mo, and Su Mo read it from beginning to end. He frowned, "Despicable and shameless."

Su Mo is not an idiot who doesn't know anything. If they make it happen, not only him, but everyone in Shanghegou will suffer.

Originally, he and the Chen family belonged to business competition and personal grievances. Whoever wins and loses depends on their own abilities, but this person did not hesitate to drag everyone into the water in order to screw him up.

What is not shameless?

Zhuo Yan stretched out his hand to smooth his frown, "Don't worry."

"I know, it's just that I feel uncomfortable!" Su Mo was depressed, and after a while, he pulled himself together again, "How should we deal with this matter?"

Raising private soldiers is not a small matter, it has risen to a state issue.

"Leave this to me." Zhuo Yan grabbed Su Mo's shoulders and hugged him in his arms, his black eyes flashed coldly.

Su Mo just wanted to say something, but turned his eyes and leaned his head on Zhuo Yan's shoulder again. This kind of thing is not his strong point, let Zhuo Yan worry about it!

Although the Chen family is just a businessman, the Chen family knows how to make money. After so many decades, it is not an exaggeration to say that the property under their name is incomparably rich.

Moreover, the Chen family had two generations of favorite concubines. Chen Jinpeng's eldest sister, Chen Guifei, was the only one who was favored by the late emperor.

The son Liang Wang who was born is even more valued by the emperor. Although he is a concubine, how can he use it like a legitimate son?

He was short of putting on the apricot-yellow prince's court uniform and a letter of call.

But all the civil and military officials in the court knew in their hearts that compared to the prince who lived like a cabbage in the field, this was the real prince secretly.

During that time, the Chen family was unique, and even Chen Jinpeng was called Uncle Guo behind his back.It was Chen Jinpeng who reacted and suppressed these voices.

On the surface, he has no desires or desires, only concentrates on doing business, and never stretches his claws on the court. This is also the reason why the first emperor was satisfied with the Chen family.

But in private, there is no shortage of gang formation, especially when there is such a popular candidate to inherit the throne, King Liang, standing behind the Chen family.

With such a person around, even if the Chen family didn't take the initiative to collude with the courtiers, those individual elites would take the initiative to sneak into the Chen family's camp one by one, thinking of taking advantage of the dragon's merit.

At that time, the life of the crown prince was really difficult. Almost everyone believed that it would be a matter of time before the crown prince was abolished. Now that the emperor has not issued a clear call, it is just because the border is blocked and the Guan family needs to guard it.

But the emperor has been supporting other people in recent years, just hoping to replace the Guan family one day. As long as the Guan family is gone, the prince will at least be unable to escape the fate of being confined.

However, no one expected that under such favorable circumstances, because the two princes saw that the throne was hopeless, they jumped over the wall and did stupid things, and the late emperor was also in a fit of anger. Prince.

The lineage of Liang Wang, in the end, the bamboo basket fetching water was all in vain, and in order to protect themselves, they even took the initiative to ask to guard the imperial tomb for the first emperor.

The Chen family was able to develop to its current scale, thanks to the contribution of the two generations of concubines, but the Chen family was not reconciled, especially when they saw that King Liang was only one step away from that position but fell short, this kind of reluctance would be dismissed. Unlimited magnification.

I always think that I can still be in Bo Yibo.

What's more, although the crown prince has ascended the throne and became the emperor, he has not had anyone available among the officials, except for the Guan family. It can be said that he has no foundation.

Now, while cleaning up the late emperor's power, he also has to clean up the nails planted by the princes, and find ways to gather power. The position under his butt is not secure.

This is the opportunity for King Liang, and also for the Chen family.

The Chen family wanted to use this incident to drive a wedge between the emperor and the Yu family, and wanted the emperor to cut off his own arm.

The same Zhuo Yan was also plotting against the Chen family.

Over the years, the Chen family has stretched its claws too far. Whether it is in the shopping mall or in the court, its power has long been formed. This is only on the surface, but the dark power is hidden very deep. After all, King Liang The business that has been done for so many years is not in vain.

Over the past ten years, a large net has been woven, which is easily indestructible.

But the Chen family's move this time will definitely involve people in the court, and they will pull out carrots and bring out the sand, which can just take the opportunity to deal with some people.

There is no way to make a hole in the net of the Chen family, as long as there is a hole, it will only get bigger and bigger in the future.

This time, the Chen family was also bluffed by Su Mo's menacing approach. As soon as they got the handle, they wanted to kill them, but they didn't think deeply.

But yes, the sugar industry is the foundation of the Chen family. If the foundation is gone, the Chen family can be said to be destroyed in half. In addition, Su Mo is a descendant of the Mei family on the surface, and the two families have old relationships. Resentment, can the Chen family not be in a hurry?

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
