The door was opened, and Xu Cheng felt a gust of cold wind blowing in his face, and he shivered all over.

Su Jingxian bypassed him and walked out of the house without saying a word.

She had no intention of staying!

Xu Cheng looked at his master again. His clothes were a little messy, which made people think about it!

"Master, you are too impatient. We haven't gotten married yet..." Xu Cheng said timidly.

Look at the frosty face of Miss Su. It must be that his master had just done something bad!

That's right.

After all, he is at the age of blood and vigor!

"Ahem!"

Shen Yuze walked out of the bedroom, coughed twice, and asked, "What's the matter with knocking on the door just now?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, there is a guest waiting outside the house." Xu Cheng said.

"Who?"

"Zhao Liang, the son of the fourth-rank general, said he wants your help with something."

As soon as he heard the name.

Shen Yuze was confused. He didn't have much contact with this person on weekdays, so why did he suddenly come to his house?

If he had to say that he had a relationship, it would have to involve Xiao Lan.

This guy is the one who Xiao Lan's marriage contract is about to start.

Seeing that Shen Yuze didn't answer for a long time, Xu Cheng asked tentatively: "Then Your Highness... do you want to meet him? If not, I will reply for you."

"No, just let him in." Shen Yuze said.

"Yes, sir."

Shen Yuze sat in the courtyard. In a short while, a man dressed very elegantly walked in. He was full of bookish air, a gentleman.

Indeed, he was such a person.

Judging from their appearance, they were of similar age.

Zhao Liang walked up to him and performed the ceremony respectfully.

"I am Zhao Liang, and I greet His Royal Highness Prince Yu."

Shen Yuze smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are a rare guest. Why did you suddenly come to my place today?"

"I have a favor to ask, and I hope His Royal Highness Prince Yu can fulfill it." Zhao Liang said.

"Just tell me."

Zhao Liang was tangled, and after gritting his teeth, he decided to tell the purpose of this trip.

"Your Highness, you should know that there is an engagement between me and Miss Xiao."

"My father forced me to fulfill the engagement after learning that you had abandoned him."

"I suddenly bothered you because I actually wanted to ask Your Highness to come forward and talk to my father about this matter. From now on, I am willing to serve you!"

Shen Yuze understood what he meant, and it turned out that he didn't want to be the scapegoat.

In the original book, after the original owner married Xiao Lan, the engagement was naturally invalidated.

Speaking of which, Zhao Liang is a very powerful person.

When the court was in turmoil, almost all the capable officials in the court were defeated, and he was in Haojing, where he was ordered to take charge of the situation and was in a dilemma.

It was in Longxi Prefecture next to Haojing that he blocked Shen Yuchen's army for four months!

He is indeed a rare talent.

Shen Yuze was curious and asked, "Mr. Zhao, why did you come to me for this matter?"

"It's because my father worked under you, and only you can have a say." Zhao Liang said bluntly.

If he hadn't said it, Shen Yuze would have almost forgotten about it.

When he was a teenager, his stepmother was worried about the safety of Prince Yu's Mansion, so she specially appointed Zhao Bi to lead the guards of the palace.

During that period, Zhao Bi was dedicated and did not dare to be careless.

He was also willing to teach the original owner all the martial arts he had learned throughout his life, but it was a pity that he didn't learn it.

Zhao Liang also knew that it was a bit presumptuous to say this, and hurriedly said with apology: "If His Royal Highness Prince Yu thinks it is not okay, you can pretend that I said nothing, and I will find another way to deal with this matter."

"It's okay, it's just a few words. I will tell General Zhao about it when I have the chance another day." Shen Yuze smiled.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness Prince Yu!"

"You don't have a position yet, right?"

Shen Yuze suddenly asked about this.

Zhao Liang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Well, from now on, you are the staff of Prince Yu's Mansion, and when there is a chance, I will directly recommend you to the court."

Hearing what Shen Yuze said, Zhao Liang couldn't help showing a little joy on his face.

I didn't enter the official career before, not because of others, but because my father Zhao Bi loved face.

It's just that he was afraid that his colleagues would gossip if his son entered the court.

Little did he know that his son was very capable.

The sooner such talents are in hand, the better!

Zhao Liang said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yu, for your favor. I will do my best!"

Shen Yuze waved his hand, indicating that he could go back.

After the others left, Xu Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, General Zhao and Minister Xiao have a special relationship. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for you to call his son as a staff member?""That's why I want to make good use of Zhao Liang as a chess piece." Shen Yuze said.

The reason is also very simple.

After the engagement with the Zhao family, Xiao Yang finally had an ally in the court.

Shen Yuze said lightly: "Xiao Yang's promotion speed is so fast, which is inseparable from Zhao Bi's influence in the court."

"I don't believe that the incident in the court this time has nothing to do with Xiao Yang."

"The censors shouted the most fiercely, and most of them were Xiao Yang's former officials. He dared to do this because he had the Zhao family as a backer behind him."

"I used Zhao Liang as a staff member, which is equivalent to winning over Zhao Bi."

"In this way, Xiao Yang will be isolated and helpless!"

In fact, when returning to Prince Yu's Mansion from the imperial city, Shen Yuze was guessing who was the real instigator.

The two thousand households of the Zhenfu Division who were killed by Su Jingxian were said to be patrolling around Luyuan Lane.

In fact, they were monitoring his every move.

Then think about it again, the censors were eager to break up his engagement with Su Jingxian, wasn't their purpose to continue to promote the marriage with Xiao Lan?

Who would be the biggest beneficiary?

Undoubtedly Xiao Yang!

Even if this marriage didn't happen, there was still the Zhao family to back him up.

It just so happened that Zhao Liang came to the door in person and expressed his intention, so why not go with the flow and let the old man surnamed Xiao get nothing!

Besides, as a legitimate prince, he can be said to have no power in the court.

Zhao Bi was originally a fourth-rank general, directly loyal to Shen Yuqing, and the chance of winning him over was very high.

At that time, he could directly reach out to Longxi Prefecture and strengthen his own power in the court.

Just relying on brandishing swords and guns in the Fengtian Palace, it might be okay once or twice.

If it's like this every time, it will only make people think that he is a madman who can only show his teeth and claws.

Shen Yuze then walked back to the study.

Xu Chengze was grinding ink beside him.

I saw that His Royal Highness Prince Yu picked up the wolf hair brush, wrote a lot, and then handed a letter to Xu Cheng.

"Go to the Zhao family and pass the letter to General Zhao."

"If he knows what's good for him, he will cancel the engagement."

"Lest I splash his blood when the Xiao family is destroyed!"

Xu Cheng understood what Shen Yuze meant.

"Your Highness, you are cutting off the fire from under the cauldron! What a good trick!"
