Xu Changqing is not a rookie who just entered the officialdom, nor is he an idiot who can't understand the body and the heart of heaven.
He knew very well that there must be something going on when the Crown Princess summoned him at this juncture.
And there is a high probability that it is something that you are dissatisfied with yourself.
If there are important issues to discuss, then there is no reason for Zhou Ping'an and others to be absent, and there is no reason to call him alone. Xu Changqing is not arrogant enough to think that he is the number one adviser in the East Palace, not even the second or third.
On top of that, his only advantage is that he followed the prince early enough and is loyal enough to the prince. Although his ability to do things is excellent, at least he has not hindered the East Palace, that's all.
Combined with the court meeting that just happened today, Xu Changqing already had some guesses in his mind.
Su Jinpa raised his eyes to look at Xu Changqing and said calmly: "Master Xu, the prince has worked hard to gather such a group of people. Master Xu has followed the prince all the way through the whole process. The hardships involved cannot be explained to outsiders. Everyone in the world can't explain it."
You may not understand, but Mr. Xu should know how difficult it is for the East Palace to be what it is today."
Xu Changqing's face became tight.
The higher the tone of Su Jinpa's tune, the more serious the matter was. He lowered his head and said, "What the Crown Princess said is that it is indeed not easy for the East Palace to go all the way."
"Master Xu really knows the truth, so some of the more simple truths should be understood more clearly. Now that the prince is away, what the East Palace needs is unity, not only the people inside the East Palace, but also the people outside the East Palace. Unity
Only those who can unite will be strong enough and do things more conveniently. Especially at critical moments, allies must not be abandoned. Some positions that should be stated must be clearly stated."
Xu Changqing immediately stood up, knelt in front of Su Jinpa, and said with sincerity and fear: "I am guilty of this, please forgive me, Princess."
"It's not a crime."
Su Jinpa shook his head and said: "Speaking of which, you have been with the prince longer than me. You should know the prince's character. If he were here today, you might not be able to eat well. Sometimes being too smart is not a good thing.
, don’t make wild guesses, let alone make choices based on assumptions. Dong Palace and the Queen are allies, at least for now. Before this relationship ends or changes, all you need to do is to support her with all your strength. Above the court, you
The attitude of the Queen will be interpreted as the attitude of the East Palace to a large extent, so on some matters, how you speak and express your stance is related to the relationship between the East Palace and the Queen."
"Giving you the responsibility of this representative is a sign of trust in you. Don't betray this trust."
Xu Changqing couldn't kneel down and kowtowed: "I know, I know. Thank you, Crown Princess, for your advice."
Su Jinpa said calmly: "Before, the Empress sent someone to forward a memorial and asked me to make a decision. Take a look at it yourself."
While talking, Su Jinpa ordered someone to fetch a memorial and handed it to Xu Changqing.
I don't know whether he forgot or deliberately, but Su Jinpa didn't let Xu Changqing stand up, so Xu Changqing knelt on the ground and took the memorial.
When he opened it and looked at the familiar handwriting, Xu Changqing immediately understood that this memorial was written by his nephew Xu Junlou, whom he regarded as his own son.
