Chapter 175 Don’t worry, now you don’t have to tie your hands and feet
On the other side.
After the second prince left the harem, he walked directly in the direction of the Su family.
When he came to the front door of the Su family, he didn't even have to speak.
The servants of the Su family immediately came over to guide the way.
"I have met His Highness the Second Prince. Your Highness invites you to come here. The master of the house has been waiting for a long time."
Hearing that his uncle was already waiting for him, the Second Prince had a vague understanding.
I’m afraid my uncle is also waiting for such an opportunity, right?
The corners of his mouth turned up with a hint of pride.
When the eldest prince was still there, the second prince actually always had the support of the Su family behind him.
But unfortunately, the Su family's strength cannot compete with the Prime Minister's power.
So the second prince has always kept a low profile and minimized his presence as much as possible.
But at the same time, he did not forget to develop in secret.
Now that the eldest prince is dead, the prime minister's group has already joined forces with the Jun family, and the second prince has now received a verbal promise from the young master of the Jun family.
That doesn’t mean that both the Jun family and the Prime Minister’s power are his backstage?
When he thought of this, the second prince couldn't help but lighten his steps.
After being suppressed by the eldest prince for so many years, he has long been unconvinced, and now he has finally waited for such an opportunity.
He must vent his anger to prove his strength and obtain the position of crown prince at the same time.
"It seems that my uncle can't wait any longer..."
The second prince nodded secretly. Since the death of the eldest prince, the situation in the court has gradually become clearer.
Some hidden forces began to surface.
The Su family is the most obvious one. Now the Su family has completely put it on the bright side and has begun to pave the way for the second prince to seize the throne.
The second prince came to the door of the Su family's study, and then knocked gently.
“Come in!”
The angry voice of the head of the Su family came from the study.
The current head of the Su family, Su Yuanwu, is the eldest brother of Queen Zhou, and is also the official minister of the Zhou Dynasty.
The official appointment and removal assessment, promotion or demotion all had to go through the hands of Su Yuanwu.
His power is great!
Even though Su Yuanwu kept a low profile at first, there were not many officials in the court who disrespected him.
In other words, Su Yuanwu controls the black gauze hat on the heads of many people!
"Uncle!"
After entering the study, the second prince also bowed respectfully.
Although he is the second prince in terms of status, now he needs Su Yuanwu to give him guidance, and Su Yuanwu himself is his uncle.
So Su Mingyu naturally showed some filial piety.
Su Yuanwu nodded with a smile and said, "My nephew is here? Sit down."
Upon hearing this title, the second prince's face suddenly showed some joy.
Since he calls himself uncle and nephew, it means that he must have a heart-to-heart talk with him today!
The second prince sat respectfully opposite Su Yuanwu and poured two more cups of tea.
"Uncle, please have some tea."
Su Yuanwu looked at the second prince's actions with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
He took a sip of tea and tasted it slowly for a while.
Then he slowly said: "Your mother has sent someone to send the news to me. Since the Jun family is now your backstage, naturally our Su family will also fully support you." "Mingyu, do you have confidence?"
The second prince immediately raised his hand and said, "My nephew naturally has confidence. Now that the eldest prince is dead, how can other princes compete with me?"
“Having confidence is a good thing!”
Su Yuanwu said with a smile: "A country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a prince for a day!"
"Since the eldest princes are dead, Emperor Zhou must choose one from among the many princes as soon as possible. As the crown prince."
"So, from the moment the eldest prince died, I have been planning for you."
When he heard this, the eyes of the second prince suddenly changed. There was a burst of surprise.
It seems that my uncle really can’t wait for a moment.
He immediately asked: "What has my uncle done? How should my nephew cooperate?"
He can't wait for a moment now, he can't wait to become the prince and the heir apparent!
Su Yuanwu took out a list from under the desk and pushed it in front of the second prince.
"Look carefully, what are the characteristics of these people on the list?"
He was also testing how well the second prince knew these officials in the court.
The second prince glanced at it and immediately said: "These officials are all from poor families. They do not belong to any faction at present, and they do not have much say in the court."
He turned his questioning eyes towards Su Yuanwu threw himself over.
"What do you mean, uncle, let me win them over?"
"Not bad!"
Su Yuanwu nodded with satisfaction again, and continued: "From now on In the beginning, you need to vigorously cultivate the children from poor families. Once these people are used well, they can be a great help to you in the future.”
"Besides, since they don't belong to any faction, it becomes easier to win over them."
"Now I happen to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the promotion of officials is all in my hands. This way, I can just benefit from these Cultivate a group of forces that belong to us among the poor disciples.”
The second prince listened attentively, nodding from time to time to indicate that he understood.
Su Yuanwu was indeed very sincere today.
He did not want the Su family to continue to be stepped on by other families, especially the power of the Donghuang family and Prime Minister Luo Wenshan.
"After all, children from poor families are people with no foundation. What's more, these people can obtain official positions through the imperial examination, which proves that they have enough strength."
"In addition, they have never had a say in the court. , once people like this get the favor of you and our Su family, they will naturally become our confidants!"
"No one is willing to give up the opportunity to rise to the top, especially these officials who have always been at the bottom of the imperial court! That’s true.”
Su Yuanwu said this and took another sip of tea.
Now that the second prince’s biggest rival is dead, even the Jun family is willing to assist the second prince.
That’s what we call great potential!
If this matter goes smoothly, then wouldn’t it be possible for the Su family to become the next Jun family?
Why don’t the Eastern Royal family and the Luo family in the capital have to accept the Su family as the boss?
After all, no matter how powerful the Jun family is, they are still ministers!
But the Su family is the real trump card of Zhou Mingyu, the future emperor!
The second prince also quickly pointed to the list and asked: "Uncle, should I contact and win over these people immediately?"
Su Yuanwu stroked his beard, nodded and said: "That is natural, now It’s not too late, you’d better do it as soon as possible.”
“Don’t worry, you don’t have to tie your hands and feet now.”
“Even Emperor Zhou will definitely do it. I support you. If you want to win the position of crown prince, you princes must rely on your own abilities!”
