Jinling City, Wei Mansion.

The Minister of Justice, Wei Cen, the head of state, Chen Jue, the deputy envoy to the Privy Council, Feng Yanlu, the Minister of Industry, You Jianyan, the Minister of Rites, and Wu Qian, the Supervisory Censor, gathered together to drink tea and talk about the current political situation.

Because Su Chen won the first prize in the imperial examination, Han Xizai's Sun Party has been on the rise. Now their Song Party has been squeezed out and suppressed, and is gradually marginalized.

Even Wei Cen had a daughter who was still a concubine in the palace. However, after Zhou Hou recovered, she was not so favored.

You Jianyan sighed: "Su Chen's favor is getting stronger now. He is Han Xizai's disciple. His talent is unmatched by anyone in Jiangzuo. We can't trouble him from the front, so we can only do it secretly."

Son."

Feng Yanlu hummed and said: "It is common for young people to receive favors based on their talents. We will wait for him to make mistakes and become arrogant because of his talents, so we can bite him and tear off a piece of his flesh."

Wu Qianying, the supervisory censor, said: "That's right, this young man has such a big reputation now that many people are watching him. He has recently taken the lead in the Ministry of Revenue to build the internal treasury, and he also needs to innovate wine shops, official kilns, etc. to cooperate with him.

The Ministry of Industry was establishing Tiangongyuan, etc., and they had just entered the official career, and they were so involved in the involution, which made other new scholars feel very embarrassed. It won't be long before Su Chen will become the one who has been forgotten by everyone!"

Wei Cen listened to several people's words, all of which were discussing Su Chen. There was a strong sour taste in their words, and the feeling of envy and jealousy was even stronger.

If Su Chen were on Party Song's side, they would naturally be happy and extremely excited.

In the final analysis, the Song Party was unlucky and failed to discover such great talents among the younger generation. As a result, it gradually lost power in the party struggle and the situation was unfavorable.

Wei Cen sneered and said: "Ignore him for now, let him jump around more, so that we can see clearly whether his ability can really be applied in practice and produce benefits that benefit the country and the people; or is it just a waste of money?"

It will be clear after a while if there are false appearances and arm's length talks on paper. If it is just empty talk and nonsense, you can also take a copy of it when the time comes. The higher you stand, the more painful the fall will be!"

"Mr. Wei, what if he really succeeds?" You Jianyan, the Minister of Rites, asked.

"Although we don't have the advantage for the time being, we still have the foundation. We also have people in the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers, and Mr. Feng is also the minister in the Ministry of Industry. When the time comes, we can send people to do some tricks secretly to make him fall short.

. Or, if he is not of use to us, we can also let him have some accidents. Even if he is resurrected as a Poet Immortal and possessed by a Poet Saint, and blocks our interests and ambitions, then he is a mortal enemy and we cannot be merciful and let him grow up."

"Yes, a genius who cannot grow up is just a pile of loess after all!" Chen Jue, as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, carries a murderous aura about him.

The others nodded silently and agreed with this statement. Those who share the same party and oppose those who are different can be ruthless. None of these old men in officialdom are soft-hearted.

All they have to do is use their words to destroy their political opponents and their families.

The injustices and falsehoods that occurred in the imperial temples were no less common than among the people, because the water here was deep enough and muddy enough.

Feng Yanlu suddenly said: "By the way, the news that the Song army is going to attack our country of Tang has spread. The officials have been anxious these past two days. They have summoned the ministers of Tongping Zhangshi, officials of Chengxintang, the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household.

Let’s discuss countermeasures. This battle

, it is inevitable that we should fight for part of the military power. After all, there will be wars in the middle, east and west. If the Sun Party and the New Party each take charge of a line to resist the Song Dynasty, then naturally we cannot fall behind others and have to fight for a front.

The military power comes."

"It makes sense. We can't let this go. Otherwise, if I wait here, I won't have military power."

"It's just that we don't have soldiers and horses in hand, and we're not tough enough to argue with them. We still have to support our generals to rise to power!"

Several leading figures in the Song Party were still discussing how to fight Su Chen and how to fight for power, sparing no effort.

………

Bai Susu temporarily stayed in the capital. In order to avoid suspicion, she did not live directly in the Su Mansion, but moved into the Bai family's mansion in Jinling City.

With the current financial resources of the Bai family, they have properties and shops in many prefectures and counties such as Runzhou, Jinling, and Hongzhou. They have a place to stay in any city they go to.

But during the day, in addition to inspecting the Bai family's shops and account books in Jinling City, Bai Susu spent most of her time in the Su Mansion with Peng Jingjing and the other girls, whether they were shopping, going to temple fairs, visiting the Qinhuai River, or outing to enjoy the scenery.

The peach blossoms and so on are all together, making the daughter group of Su Mansion particularly spectacular.

In addition to Xu Cainv and Liu Monong, they also came to Jinling City one after another. Together with Peng Jingjing, Yang Ling'er, and Zhou Jiamin, it was naturally very lively, and it took two cars to travel.

Once he took to the streets, he was so majestic and colorful that many officials, sons of wealthy families, and intellectuals in Jinling City turned around frequently, eager to come up and strike up a conversation.

"Whose little lady is this? There are so many beauties, all of them charming and beautiful?"

"Yes, there are so many new faces that I have never seen before!"

"You don't know, right? This is the girl's paper from the house of Su Chen, the number one scholar!"

Someone was shocked and questioned: "Su Zhuangyuan married so many beauties? I have never heard of it. Aren't they not married yet?"

"Our champion, Mr. Su, I heard that he already has two fiancées in Runzhou, namely Peng Jingjing, the daughter of Lord Fuyin, and Bai Susu, the eldest daughter of the Bai family. He married a concubine, Liu Menong, who was once a brothel.

There are a few oirans left, one of whom is Zhou Situfu

The second young lady on the throne, Ms. Zhou Jiamin, the sister of the current Queen Zhou, Yang Ling'er, the sister of Mr. Su, and Xu Qingwan, the most talented girl in Runzhou, well, they should be these people." A middle-aged man took the Su family girls as if they were treasures.

They've all been told, and they're well-informed.

"How do you know so much details?!" Young Master Qingshan asked doubtfully.

"I am the storyteller who came from Runzhou. I was lucky enough to see the appearance of these young ladies, and I have always remembered them." The storyteller stroked his beard and replied.

After Bai Susu and others finished shopping, they purchased some famous rouge and gouache in the capital and other accessories for their daughter's home. Then they returned to Su Mansion and gathered together to prepare dinner and wait for Su Chen to come back and cook the pot together.

Although the girls did not disclose their identities, they all knew in their hearts that because of Su Chen's relationship, the girls let go of their identities and status and lived in harmony here. Perhaps, they would become a real family in the future.

At night, Su Chen came back from the office and gathered around the table with the heroine, enjoying the fragrant hot pot.

Su Chen sighed softly, as his luck was about to come, the Song army also invaded the country with a large force and refused to give him the three-year agreement.

What will be the fate of the Southern Tang Dynasty? Can the Song army be defeated? He has no certainty of victory. Because of the butterfly effect of time travel, the historical trajectory has quietly changed. Next, Su Chen has to truly devote himself to this era and face the Northern Song Dynasty.

's attack.

How he should break the situation for Southern Tang still needs to be carefully planned.
