Dress up as cannon fodder, angrily marry the villain, and fight if you don't accept it!

Prince Yu's Mansion, reception hall.

Shen Yuze sat here in a python robe, holding a celadon teacup in his hand.

Compared with his previous image, it is hard to imagine that this is the unpromising Prince Yu.

"I, Zhao Bi, pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Yu."

Zhao Bi half-knelt on the ground, clasped his hands and clasped his fists.

According to the previous expectation, Shen Yuze would probably say "No need to be polite, stand up", but he did not say these four words.

Shen Yuze put down the teacup lightly.

"General Zhao, have you even forgotten the etiquette?"

"If you were wearing armor, I would not pick your etiquette."

"Wearing a fourth-grade scarlet tiger and leopard military officer robe, is this the etiquette?"

Zhao Bi was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, and immediately knelt on the ground with his other leg, bowing his head and saluting.

"I am a humble man, Zhao Bi. I hope Your Highness Prince Yu will forgive me!"

Shen Yuze waved his hand and said calmly: "No need to be polite, please stand up and take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yu!"

The servants in the mansion brought a chair, but Zhao Bi felt very uncomfortable.

Since leaving Prince Yu's mansion, the relationship between him and Shen Yuze was neither good nor bad, but they had not met for a long time and seemed very estranged.

However, today's Prince Yu had a sense of oppression from power.

Shen Yuze asked casually, "You should have seen the letter yesterday, right?"

"Since you are going to work as an aide to Prince Yu's mansion, cancel your engagement with the Xiao family as soon as possible."

"Don't wait until I start to fight, or your Zhao family will run to the Queen Mother and His Majesty and say that I am bullying you."

Zhao Bi hurriedly explained, "Please rest assured, Your Highness Prince Yu, I have asked my father to cancel this engagement today."

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yu, for your favor to my son."

"I kowtow again!"

Bang!

This time, Zhao Bi kowtowed very sincerely.

Shen Yuze showed a little smile on his face.

"You don't need to perform this ceremony now. To put it bluntly, I want you to do this just to bring down Xiao Yang."

"You saw it at the court meeting yesterday."

"So many censors and imperial censors attacked me, and they pushed Xiao Lan back to me, and joined forces with the Pacification Office to frame Su Jingxian."

"I came back and thought about it, and I can't just let this account go."

"The old man of your Zhao family still occupies a seat in the cabinet. Asking you to cancel the engagement is also a test of your Zhao family's attitude."

After these words, Zhao Bi became more nervous and tremblingly said, "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand Ah, this matter has nothing to do with our Zhao family. It was Xiao Yang who planned it behind the scenes. "

"I didn't tell my old father beforehand! My whole family didn't know he would do this!"

"After seeing the handwritten letter from Your Highness, my father and I asked me to cancel the engagement. After I leave, I will go to the Xiao Mansion to discuss the cancellation of the engagement!"

Shen Yuze narrowed his eyes and asked, "Just to discuss?"

"No... No, withdraw immediately!"

Zhao Bi realized that there was something wrong with the wording and immediately showed a firm attitude, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"Well, when you go back, please say hello to the old Zhao on my behalf."

"I will follow Your Highness's orders!"

Once the engagement is cancelled, it is equivalent to the Zhao family officials cutting ties with Xiao Yang, and this person's backing in the court will be gone.

Winning over the Zhao family will be done.

Zhao Bi, a fourth-rank general, has made real contributions. His father is also the second assistant of the cabinet, and his power is extraordinary.

But we have to think of one problem.

The second assistant Zhao is over seventy years old and has been suffering from illness in recent years. It is still a question whether he can live for two or three years.

If he dies, the Zhao family's path to promotion will be cut off.

Shen Yuze noticed this and was able to grasp their psychological state and throw out an olive branch in time, easily taking the Zhao family into his pocket.

If it were a few days ago, the Zhao family would definitely not give Shen Yuze face.

But at the court meeting yesterday, everyone saw his actions clearly, and it also proved to the ministers that there was at least some hope to get close to Prince Yu's Mansion.

The main reason is that the power of Prince Mu Shen Yuchen has basically taken shape.

Continuing to get close to him is like icing on the cake.

On the contrary, coming to Prince Yu Shen Yuze is like sending charcoal in the snow.

Anyone with a discerning eye in the court can see it.

The current emperor is very dissatisfied with the Mu Wang faction.

In this way, various environmental factors and Shen Yuze's actions not only make Xiao Yang isolated and helpless, but also have a greater gain.

Most of the noble families in Longxi Prefecture are headed by the Zhao family.

Many martial arts sects also have to look at the Zhao family's face to obtain more resources in the court.

The Zhao family can maintain this status because of Zhao Ci Fu.

If he dies, those disciples of the Zhao familyThey would lose the protection of power, and might even be liquidated by political enemies.

Shen Yuze's invitation also solved the dilemma for them.

In the future, Shen Yuze can fully control the Zhao family, which is equivalent to controlling Longxi Prefecture.

Overthrowing Xiao Yang is just a matter of convenience.

After achieving his goal, Shen Yuze personally sent Zhao Bi away from Prince Yu's Mansion.

Zhao Bi was flattered and sweating profusely.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, please stay. We will all rely on you in the future."

Shen Yuze patted his shoulder and smiled, "General Zhao, don't worry, you and Lord Zhao didn't bet on the wrong treasure."

If you say that Shen Yuze yesterday was like a reckless man.

Today, Shen Yuze has a bit of the momentum of ruling the world.

Zhao Bi will come back to his senses after completely leaving Shen Yuze's sight.

It was only a few minutes ago, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Zhao Bi calmed down and exhaled heavily.

"This Prince Yu has changed so quickly. Father is smart to choose him."

The ministers in the court are not monolithic, especially the cabinet.

One Prime Minister and five Deputy Prime Ministers.

Except for the Prime Minister who is loyal to the emperor, the Deputy Prime Ministers are all veterans of three or even four dynasties, so they are not convinced by Shen Yuqing's rule.

After all, they didn't become Prime Ministers, so they chose to bet on other princes and then wait for the right time to act!

Deputy Prime Minister Zhao is a special case.

As for the engagement and Prince Yu, the choice is simple.

Xiao Yang, a mere fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, how can he be compared with Shen Yuze.

Zhao Bi came straight to the Zhao Mansion with the letter of withdrawal of engagement.

Coincidentally, Xiao Yang was also there, and he quickly asked someone to serve tea.

"No need, Lord Xiao, I came here to tell you something."

"Your daughter is really beautiful, and my son Zhao Liang is not worthy of her. I am here to cancel the engagement on my father's orders."

"You don't have to return the engagement money you sent."

After saying that, Zhao Bi left the marriage certificate without saying a word and turned around to leave the Xiao Mansion.

Only Xiao Yang and his daughter were left in the yard in a mess.

Xiao Lan was stunned, and Xiao Yang was in doubt.

"What's going on..."

"Two days ago, Zhao Bi told me that he would hurry up to get you and Zhao Liang married!"

"Why did you suddenly cancel the engagement today!"
