Pampered and fierce wife: Reborn daughter-in-law has a strategy

And if he is killed, it will definitely happen.

……

Because she was too shocked, Li Xinran took a step back involuntarily.

Is Master Zhang's death inevitable?

In a daze, the warm and kind old man popped into Li Xinran's mind again.

Because of her father's official position, Li Xinran had met Mr. Zhang Yi since she was a child. At that time, his beard was not gray yet, and he had crow's feet at the corners of his eyes when he smiled. Every time he met her, he would touch her on the top of her head and say something with a smile. : "Xiao Xinran has grown taller again."

"Master Zhang..." Li Xinran couldn't accept it, "Did you die to build momentum for your grandson?"

"Xingran, Mr. Zhang died for disaster relief, and his prestige in the hearts of the people will rise to an unprecedented height. At this time, it was revealed in real time that Mr. Zhang was killed by the current emperor's conspiracy. He was going to promote the former prince. By the way, it was revealed that Mr. Zhang was the teacher of the former Crown Prince. Who do you think the public will turn to this time?"

The eyes of the eldest princess were compassionate and cold-blooded.

"What if... Master Zhang's death cannot create momentum for the emperor and grandson?" Li Xinran's mouth trembled and she asked with force.

After all, in the previous life, Mr. Zhang died. After his death, he was characterized by the emperor as a loyal old minister who loved the people as his son. This was indeed what the eldest princess thought, but what happened later was not what the eldest princess expected at all. I don’t know which one it was. There was a problem, but the result was that Mr. Zhang died in vain.

The eldest princess frowned, and then sighed: "Xinran, I know you are kind-hearted, but in the struggle for power, there will inevitably be sacrifices. Just because you are kind-hearted, it does not mean that the enemy will also be kind-hearted. There is no point in thinking. Goodness will only be a drag on great causes.”

What the eldest princess said later was a bit harsh.

Li Xinran's face turned red. She knew that the eldest princess was trying to hit her. If she hadn't known about the cause of her previous life, she would have felt that she was showing unnecessary kindness.

But since the eldest princess had already spoken, Li Xinran couldn't say anything more, so she could only bow, apologize and leave. ,

At this time, the eldest princess was not as affectionate as she was at first. She just nodded slightly and waved her hand.

On the way out of the door, Li Xinran's mind was spinning crazily. If Mr. Zhang died a worthy death, as a younger generation, she respected the elder's choice, but it was clear... Mr. Zhang would only die in vain, which made Li Xinran feel unhappy.

Mr. Zhang was kind and tolerant, and he was also willing to support the younger generations. Such a good person should not die hastily for a failed ending.

"Miss Li, stay." Xiao Yinchu chased after her.

Li Xinran turned around and Xiao Yinchu was already standing beside her.

"Commander Xiao." Li Xinran saluted.

Xiao Yinchu looked intently at Li Xinran's slightly wheat-colored skin, delicate eyebrows, and long, drooping eyelashes, and asked in a low voice: "Have you received any news?"

Li Xinran raised his eyes, a little confused: "What?"

"If Mr. Zhang dies, his sacrifice will be in vain. Did you get any news?" Xiao Yinchu stared at Li Xinran and asked, with the complicated look from before reappearing in his dark eyes.

Li Xinran suddenly felt something in his heart. He lowered his head and smiled, hiding his nervous look: "I just have this guess. After all, Mr. Zhang will have more energy when he is alive. If there is no complete plan, Mr. Zhang will die." Well, the arranged matter didn’t break out, so Mr. Zhang’s death was in vain.”

Li Xinran did not dare to look at Xiao Yinchu, and naturally did not see the deep investigation in Xiao Yinchu's eyes.

"Lord Xiao..."

"In that case..."

The two spoke at the same time. Li Xinran quickly glanced at Xiao Yinchu and said, "You speak first."

Xiao Yinchu breathed a sigh of relief: "I know what you are talking about, and I will discuss it with my grandmother. But..."

He looked at Li Xinran, the emotions in his eyes becoming more and more complicated: "I hope you can trust me more... Xinran..."

Li Xinran looked up in shock. As a foreigner, it was already rude for him to call him by his first name.

Xiao Yinchu just nodded slightly to her, then turned and left.

Li Xinran's heart was a little confused by Xiao Yinchu. Looking at his leaving figure, she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. It wasn't until Yingge called her softly that she came back to her senses.

The rain was as heavy as when it came. The raindrops hit the ground and a light mist rose. The scene was still the same, but the mood seemed to be slightly different.

This heavy rain lasted for half a month. News that the Yellow River was about to burst its embankments came from the downstream counties and counties. The imperial court urgently allocated money, food and grass to strengthen the embankments.

But under natural disasters, there must be disasters. Corrupt officials don't care whether the Yellow River is a dyke. In other words, they think that the rain for half a month will stop soon, and there is no need to reinforce it. Enriching their pockets is the right thing. thing.

What you get by luck must be an extremely unlucky end.

On the eighth day of September, the news of the Yellow River bursting its banks still reached Kyoto. The emperor and ministers were shocked. Emperor Hui of Chu was furious in the court. But this was not the time to find someone to take responsibility. Who should go to the disaster-stricken areas as the disaster relief minister to comfort them? , the various factions are at war with each other, you come and I go back and forth, and never give in.

But time waits for no one. The next day, Mr. Zhang, who is a first-class bachelor and has a good ear in recent years, handed over the certificate and requested to go to the disaster area in person. Faced with the obstruction of everyone, Mr. Zhang faced the various factions in the court. The officials cursed them loudly, scolding them for their own selfish desires while ignoring the people. They talked so eloquently that several ministers were so embarrassed that they wanted to hit the pillar on the spot.

"You don't care about serving the country and the people. You only care about your own reputation. If you are just trying to gain fame and reputation, I don't think you need this little shame!"

Mr. Zhang's scolding made it okay for those officials to hit him, and it didn't matter if he didn't hit him.

Emperor Hui of Chu had to personally get down from the dragon throne to appease Mr. Zhang.Before Emperor Chu Hui came closer, Mr. Zhang knelt down, made a big salute, looked at Emperor Chu Hui, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I have requested to go to the disaster area to appease the people. Since the beginning of the new year, there has been a locust plague. Floods are a great harm to people's livelihood. People's hearts are like water. Water can carry or overturn a boat. Now, as a veteran of two dynasties, the veteran has gone to the disaster area in person, which must have given the victims a reassurance. For our country's Rule brings all benefits and no harm!"

Emperor Hui of Chu burst into tears on the spot and went to court early in the morning. He helped Mr. Zhang up and shouted that he loves you and is a pillar.

With Mr. Zhang taking the lead, it will be much easier to arrange disaster relief personnel.

After all the imperial ministers for disaster relief were arranged, Li Xinran looked at the list and was shocked to realize that many of the imperial ministers who went to the disaster area were disciples and in-laws of Mr. Zhang. In other words, they were all the emperor's grandsons. people.

If this group of people can win over the hearts of the people in the disaster area, coupled with the force value of the Zhenguo general and others, it will be easy for the emperor and his grandson to rebel.

Putting down the list, Li Xinran fell into deep thought. If this was the case, why did it happen in the previous life that Mr. Zhang died in vain, the emperor and his party were dormant, and finally the whole family of the general Zhengguo was executed?
