Chapter 314 A good show designed
So I quickly accepted the fact that I had a new brother.
"Then congratulations, father, for having another son."
But there's no need to ask her to come out just for this matter, right?
Why would it be like this just to pass on a message?
"Ah Zheng has not been by my side for these years. I feel that I owe him something. Now... I just want to make it up to him as much as possible. I hope to train him to become a talent and start a family."
"It's natural."
Su Rong responded indifferently that it was none of her business.
"So do you have a suitable candidate? Ah Zheng is not young anymore, he should get married as soon as possible."
Does it seem like she wants to find a brother's wife?
If you ask her, Su Rong naturally thinks that it would be better if the person who marries Su Zheng is her confidant, so that she can control this illegitimate child in the future.
"Father, I don't want to get married yet. A man should build his career first and then consider marriage. Otherwise, even if he gets married, it would be irresponsible to his future wife."
Unexpectedly, Su Zheng spoke righteously.
"Nonsense, first get married and then start a career, it has always been like this since ancient times."
Su Yan disagreed.
"So how do you want to achieve success?"
His words made Su Rong look at him with a new respect.
The ancients were able to have such awareness, it seems that the Yue family really taught him very well.
"The imperial examination has passed this year. I'm afraid I won't have that chance again. I'll wait until next year..."
"No."
Su Yan objected coldly.
"Are you going to take part in the civil or military examination?"
The Su family is made up of military men, and no literati have ever entered the officialdom. The Yue family is also made up of military generals. The tall and majestic man in front of him doesn't look like a literati at all.
"Of course it's the military exam. I've always hoped that one day I could lead troops to fight the enemy."
"Now the world is peaceful and there is no war in Yan Dynasty. How about you... But right now, there is really an opportunity to go to war."
Su Yan didn't care.
But halfway through his words, he seemed to remember something.
Then the father and son looked at Su Rong at the same time.
But who is she? How could she be fooled so easily?
"So, father came to me for this matter?"
She sneered disdainfully.
An expression that showed that he had seen through their clumsy plan but didn't want to expose it.
Su Yan was slightly embarrassed.
"Don't blame father, it's me..."
"Alright, the candidates for this expedition have not been decided yet, but there is still a chance. I will go back and think of a solution."
Now that she understood, why should she continue watching them act?
"It would be best if the marshal could be a member of our Su family."
The emperor hasn't chosen anyone yet, but she has heard that all the generals will submit their requests and rush to attack the frontier.
"If it's Ah Zheng, he will become famous in Kyoto after this battle."
She originally thought that Su Yan went to such great lengths just to ask for a spot for Su Zheng to go on the expedition beyond the Great Wall.
But it seems that she is too naive.
If it was just one spot, it would be easy given the Su family's background.
But what he wants is the position of Grand Marshal?
"impossible."
He has no fame and no official position in the court. Why?
Even if she wanted to recommend him, she didn't even have the chance.
"That's why I asked you to discuss countermeasures. Whether your brother can become your right-hand man in the future depends on this time. You should also know that such an opportunity is rare."
Su Yan said seriously.
Did the father mean that he would help him in the future?
Now that she is the queen, although her mother's family is powerful, her father is old after all. In the future... she will definitely need a younger and stronger person to assist her.
This Su Zheng has a good outlook on life, which is to her liking.
"I'll think of a way."
Theoretically there is no chance, absolutely impossible.
But if she takes action, that may not be the case.
"Sister, I will always remember your kindness."
Su Zheng's eyes were shining, and he looked bright and sunny, without any ulterior motives.
Su Rong was even happier.
When she left, she promised that since they were blood-thicker-than-water siblings, she would do her best to help.
The father and son sent the man away.
The faint smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and even the brightness in her eyes was hidden by the haze.
"The queen seems easy to talk to, and she's your biological daughter. Why would you go to such lengths to meet her? You even need to rehearse what you're going to say in advance."
Su Zheng was a little confused.
In his eyes, the queen didn't seem very smart.
"You don't understand her. She's smart and conceited. You have to flatter her before she will be willing to do things for you with all her strength."
Su Yan smiled faintly.
He knew his daughter's temperament best.
The purpose was to make her think that Su Zheng and I were in agreement and that he actually wanted her help, and then she would see through his plan. This way, she would feel that she was very smart and that everything was under her control.
Then she will feel that there is nothing she can't do.
"But I still think it's too difficult. Even if I'm not the head coach, as long as I can go out and fight, I'll have a chance."
Su Zheng said this very seriously.
"Since you are a descendant of the Su family, you should get the best. If you had known it a few years earlier, why would you have worried about not having a good future?"
But Su Yan disagreed.
If you go into battle as just a random soldier, no one will remember you even if you win the battle in the future. What’s the point?
"I heard that... Qingwan was not selected and became her younger sister's personal maid."
When he talked about the future, he thought of his beloved, and sadness appeared on his face.
"What do you want to say?"
Su Yan looked a little cold and seemed unhappy.
So Su Zheng hesitated for a long time before he mustered up the courage to speak again.
"She failed in the selection. Rather than wasting her life as a maid in the palace, it would be better..."
"If the emperor appoints you as the commander-in-chief this time, you won't know when you'll return. Are you sure you can help her leave the palace now? When you return, she'll still be waiting for you?"
Su Zheng still couldn't let her go.
But after hearing what his father said, he gave up the idea and fell silent.
"When you return triumphantly, if she is still in this situation, please think of a way for your father."
His silence was the answer.
The next day.
Su Rong appeared in the Shangshu Hall for the first time.
But as soon as I entered the room, I saw three tables in the hall, with pens, ink, calligraphy and paintings, and three concubines were painting seriously.
Yan Chu sat on the dragon chair and reviewed memorials.
Su Rong frowned when she saw this.
What kind of bad taste is this?
Teachers and students?
Why does Yan Chu like this kind of trick in his heart?
It seems that I still don't know him well enough.
When Yan Chu looked up, he saw her eyes full of teasing.
"What's wrong with the Queen?"
Perhaps it was the scene before her that offended her eyes.
The queen once said that she did not approve of a man having three wives and four concubines, and what she wanted was for him to be faithful to one man.
Naturally, I look down on the current situation.
Although he tried his best to maintain the peace, he knew that in the eyes of the Queen, he was nothing.
All the looks in her eyes burned him inexplicably.
"Yes, I wonder if the emperor has decided on the candidates for the expedition beyond the Great Wall?"
She came here for serious business, not for love.
"Well, I already have a candidate."
Yan Chu nodded.
