The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 414: Mutual Schemes

"If the young emperor still lends grain to the Liao delegation despite everyone's opposition, it would be tantamount to openly selling out the interests of the country."

"By then, we will hold high the banner of justice, occupy the moral high ground, and lay an indestructible foundation for overthrowing Qin Hao's tyranny in the future. This is the first step."

After he finished speaking, Su Zhengfang paused for a moment, as if to give everyone present enough time to appreciate the deeper meaning behind his words.

Su Meng stood up impatiently and said anxiously: "Father, we already know your initial plan, so what do you think next?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately attracted praise from the people around him. They nodded one after another, their eyes flashing with admiration and trust for Su Zhengfang, like stars surrounding the moon, guarding Su Zhengfang's side.

"The wisdom of a nine thousand year old man is truly unfathomable. We can only look up to him."

"Yes, every step you take is so exquisite that one cannot help but admire you."

Voices of praise came like a tide, but Su Zhengfang just smiled faintly, and that smile revealed calmness and confidence.

Su Zhengfang slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea. Then, he slowly said, "The first step is just to lay the foundation for our next action, and the real key lies in the next second step."

He paused for a moment, as if brewing his next words, and then continued: "I plan to set a trap when the Liao envoy leaves the capital to lure the little emperor out of the palace. Once he leaves, we will launch a carefully planned siege and kill him in one fell swoop."

"As long as the little emperor dies, all officials in the capital will be leaderless. At that time, we will quickly control the situation and support the Ninth Prince to ascend the throne. By then, the world will be at peace."

When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened and they couldn't help but gasp.

"Your Highness, what should we do if the little emperor does not leave the palace?" Du Youwei frowned and asked the question on everyone's mind.

Su Zhengfang smiled slightly and said confidently: "It is indeed difficult for us to get the little emperor to leave the palace, but what about Yelu Lingxiao? And what about Qin Feng and Qin Yun? We only need to use them a little, and there is no need to worry about the little emperor not being able to obey."

Afterwards, everyone sat together and began to discuss every detail of the plan in detail, until the plan was gradually perfected, and then everyone left.

The study room suddenly became quiet. Lin Guodong looked at Su Zhengfang and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you have anything else to say to us?"

Su Zhengfang fixed his eyes on Lin Guodong and Su Meng, nodded slightly and said: "Guodong, Meng'er, we are all family. If there is any benefit, we should take it first. However, things are unpredictable, so we must plan ahead and leave a way out for ourselves."

Su Meng and Lin Guodong looked at each other, nodded secretly, and a hint of tacit understanding flashed in their eyes.

Lin Guodong took a deep breath and said calmly: "Brother, without you, there would be no Lin Guodong today. I will naturally follow your words. If you say go east, I will not go west. I will follow your instructions in everything."

Su Zheng said solemnly: "The man in the palace has grown too fast. We cannot underestimate his wisdom. This operation is like walking on a tightrope. If we are not careful, we will be doomed."

"If this succeeds, we will naturally enjoy endless wealth and glory. However, if we fail, the consequence will be the destruction of our family and the tragedy of the whole family being executed."

“Therefore, we must not only fight for the future of our family, but also think carefully about our own survival.”

"Those people just now seemed to be obedient to us on the surface, and they all wanted to dig out their hearts and show them to me, but people's hearts are hard to predict. When the critical moment comes, they will definitely not work so hard."

"Moreover, after these people return, they will definitely be busy transferring wealth or hiding their family members in secret. In fact, they may have already made these arrangements in secret."

"So, I'm giving you two an important mission. You need to work together tacitly and secretly monitor the movements of these people to find out where their relatives are hiding and where their property is hidden."

"Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Once we start the rebellion, you must take the lead and firmly control their relatives in your hands, so that they will be afraid to betray us easily, paving the way for our final victory."

Su Meng's eyes flashed with a fiery light. He clenched his fists and patted his horse at the right time, "Father is wise!"

When Lin Guodong heard Su Zhengfang's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "Brother, if we can really stand out from this dispute and achieve the final victory."

"Then, we will cleverly pin the crime of besieging and killing the little emperor on those people to silence the civil and military officials and the people of the world. At the same time, their wealth will also become ours."

Su Meng nodded in agreement and added: "Father, my uncle's plan is very good. When the time comes, we will have great wealth in our hands, and we can buy people's hearts and appease those wavering officials, so that they can work for us."

"At the same time, we can also expand our armaments, recruit more soldiers, and have them serve us. This is really a two-pronged approach!"

Su Meng paused slightly, looked up at Su Zhengfang, and saw that there was no objection in his father's eyes as deep as the sea. His heart seemed to be filled with an irrepressible passion.

His emotions became more and more excited, and his voice became more and more high-pitched. He said excitedly: "Father, as long as we firmly control these civil and military officials and hold the military power tightly in our hands, then even if you want to take that position, no one will dare to say a word of criticism!"

After hearing what Su Meng said, Lin Guodong was slightly stunned, and then he came to his senses. He patted his chest and said firmly: "If you have this ambition, I will fully support you and go through fire and water without hesitation!"

The conversation between the two was full of vision and confidence for the future, as if victory was already within reach.

Their eyes were shining with ambition and desire, as if they had seen the dawn of victory and a glorious future beckoning to them.

Su Zhengfang finally spoke up at this moment, interrupting the delicate conversation between the two. He raised the corner of his mouth, with an elusive smile, and said in a deep voice: "Let's just leave it at that. Don't mention it again in the future, and don't tell anyone else. Right now, we should focus on the matter at hand."

"Guodong, when you return, quietly bring your wife and children to the army and protect them in secret, just in case."
