Chapter 187 - Engaging In A War Of Words (1/2)

Yuyan did not seem to sense his malice and said, ”Elder Zheng, you should use your talents to bring out greater value. You don't have to worry about this small matter.”

Elder Zheng flung his sleeves and said coldly, ”Young people should still recognize their own identities.”

Yuyan smiled and nodded.

After a long court battle, Yuyan had already offended more than half of the courtiers.

When Elder Zheng returned home, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Then, he started to think about the Su family.

Wasn't Yuyan relying on the granary that Princess Consort Guang Pingwang had donated? He was going to remove the root of the problem.

Elder Zheng brought the ministers to the Su family.

Su Yan was a woman. What opinion could she have? It was better to look for the Su family directly.

Old Master Su received them with a smile. He clearly knew their purpose, but he just kept talking nonsense and did not mention the granary.

Elder Zheng didn't have the time to talk nonsense. He directly said, ”You saw it in the morning court today. Yuyan is simply fooling around. That granary is simply a waste in his hands.”

The ministers at the side also echoed, ”That's right, Lord Su. He's building a channel outside the capital. Isn't this just wasting time?”

Old Master Su stroked his beard and frowned. He didn't understand what the emperor and this imperial envoy were trying to do.

However, these few people had the nerve to criticize him. Old Master Su smiled and said, ”It's not good for the Su family to interfere in this matter. After all, we only donated one granary. It's far inferior to the ministers.”

These words made their expressions not look too good.

Elder Zheng's expression was embarrassed. The ministers who had spoken earlier tried to smooth things over and said, ”The Su family is really well-versed in righteousness.”

Elder Zheng's expression was even more unsightly. Weren't these words implying that he had no righteousness?

The ministers also realized that they had said the wrong thing, so they shut their mouths and no longer spoke.

Old Master Su glanced at them. Seeing that it was about time, he said, ”His Majesty must have a motive for doing this. We should just listen to his orders.”

”His Majesty is just a little kid. What ideas does he have?” Elder Zheng spoke without restraint for a moment.

”Elder Zheng, please be careful with your words.”
