Su Cen did not follow Chongyao's advice and handed the fold directly from the court to the court, and he went to Chongxi Palace to visit the concubine after the early dynasty. He is the nephew of the concubine, although he is a foreign man, but he is also a relative, he usually doesn't go much, and he doesn't care about avoiding suspicion at the moment.

Hearing that Su Cen came to report, the Su family was a little surprised, Su Cen was away from home since he was a child, and he came to the Su family when he was nearly ten years old, and Su Jiang and him were not close. On weekdays, Suchi comes and goes, but he will send something to Suzen symbolically. Su Yuan rarely mentioned Su Cen in front of Su Jiang, and whenever he talked about it, he hated iron but not steel, so Su Yuan pressed Su Cen's position as the son of Su Jiang, and Su Jiang also had the right to be angry with him.

But these days, when I heard His Majesty praise Su Cen, Su Jiang was also a little curious. Isn't it for the sake of the eldest brother that Su Cen is here at this time? In the end, it was his own child, Su Jiang didn't change his clothes at all, and saw him directly in the garden.

Because he came down from the court, Su Cen was still wearing the court clothes of the prince, and when he saw Su Jiang, he greeted him respectfully and did not lose his proportion. But the topic did not start from Su Yuan, but turned to what he saw and heard in Jinzhou in two sentences. Su Jiang faintly felt that Su Cen seemed to have something to say, and sure enough, His Majesty's sedan chair arrived in less than half an hour.

Su Jiang looked at Su Cen's positive expression, and asked with a smile: "It turns out that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink!" Su Jiang changed his previous intimacy, this sentence seems to be playful, but it is actually sharp.

Su Cen got up and bowed again, "Su Cen has no calculation for her aunt, she is here for her father today!" "Your Majesty, if there is no urgent matter, he will usually come to the concubine by foot, and Su Cen has really been running for this recently. Even if there is a mistake in the concubine's case, it will not implicate the father in the prison. It's about his father, and Suzen is also cautious.

When Su Jiang heard this, he just lowered his eyes and instructed: "You are so self-conscious, don't be self-defeating!" ”

Su Cen followed Su Jiang to take over, and His Majesty was also very surprised to see Su Cen and asked. Su Cen did not squirm, His Majesty has always admired him for having the vitality of a teenager but not impetuous, and when Su Cen respectfully handed over the fold, Su Cen almost held his breath to observe His Majesty's color.

Su Cen's list of officials in Jinzhou had actually been handed over to His Majesty's study, but it was just a simple list and did not carry any meaning. Su Yuan was right, His Majesty wanted to hand over the list of substitutes that had been drawn up, so His Majesty put down Su Cen's list after only a glance. I thought about waiting for Su Yuan to come out and prepare the candidates, and then we would look at it together.

The twist and turn of this meeting is a separate statement about Jingyang Bofu, which has several contacts between Jingyang Bofu and Yuwangfu over the years, private gatherings, major treasure transactions, and exchange of horses. His Majesty's face was gloomy, and even Su Jiang was curious about what Su Cen handed over, and just as Su Jiang was about to divert the topic, he heard His Majesty ask, "When did you find out about this?" "Knowing but not reporting? Suzen had been back for a long time, but he didn't mention it.

"I had a preliminary list two months ago, but it wasn't until yesterday that I received a secret report from Jinzhou to verify all this. The minister didn't dare to delay, so he sent it over after a little tidying up. "The family has its own power, and the use of these private forces is a tacit secret for everyone to use this private power in official affairs, and Suzen has no intention of hiding it. Su Cen worked in Jinzhou, and later returned to Jinling in a hurry due to the New Year, so it is understandable that he left a lot of people in Jinzhou.

"Are you sure that the matter of Jingyang Bofu has been verified?" Over the years, there have been many attacks and judgments, but little evidence to support them, and His Majesty is very disgusted with groundless speculation.

"There is only a sequence of notes on this fold, and there is a confession statement from Jinzhou in the minister's house, and there is also an account record of Yangbo Mansion. Although the soldiers and horses under Yiyang Bofu belong to Jinzhou, eight or nine out of ten official positions above the captain level are from the Black Mountain Rider of Yuzhou, and these have resumes. His Royal Highness King Yu has not made relevant changes to their origins and resumes, which are ironclad evidence. ”

Yangzhou Mountain in Yuzhou is a magical training ground, when the King of Yu just arrived in Yuzhou, he took over the Yangzhou Mountain in Yuzhou, and later selected capable young adults from the surrounding military camps to form the Black Mountain Cavalry. Then this Black Mountain Cavalry followed King Yu to the battlefield as the personal guard of King Yu, which laid the foundation for King Yu's later great military exploits. Especially when he fought with the Yan people who were good at fighting in the north four years ago, this showed the elite courage of the Black Mountain Rider.

"So, even the soldiers and horses of Jinzhou Yiyang Bo are now part of the Black Mountain Cavalry?" His Majesty brushed the fold with his fingers, and Su Jiang got up and stood behind her and rubbed his temples. His Majesty's heart warmed, and he was even more disappointed in King Yu.

"In terms of establishment, the two are independent and unrelated, but in fact, the influence of the Black Mountain Cavalry on the soldiers and horses of Yiyang should not be underestimated." For soldiers, the so-called talisman is not as deterrent as a convincing commander.

"Have you checked what King Yu himself has done in these things?" His Majesty looked at Su Cen, who was kneeling, and asked again coldly.

"Weichen doesn't dare, His Royal Highness King Yu is the respect of the prince, and it is not within the authority of Weichen." Su Cen made up his mind that if anything involving King Yu himself, he would never add drama to him, and he could even try to excuse him and leave enough room for His Majesty's imagination.

"You have checked the Jingyang Bo Mansion cleanly, and you still care about King Yu?" His Majesty did not believe Su Zen's answer, took Su Jiang's hand and pulled her to the chair opposite to sit.

"Jingyang Bofu is closely related to the situation in Jinzhou, and this is the task entrusted by His Majesty to Weichen, even if he has a heavy army, he has to investigate. Although His Royal Highness King Yu is suspected of not being strict, it has little to do with the affairs of Jinzhou, and the ministers never dare to overstep their authority without authority. ”

"It's a person who can do things, since the evidence is conclusive, why don't you say it in the court, but spare such a big circle?" His Majesty glanced at the concubine, who was quietly eating refreshments, and asked Su Cen.

"The minister has no official position, and he has no right to meet His Majesty privately, so he has to be accommodating from his aunt, please forgive Your Majesty!"

"Not only can I do things, but I will also borrow ingenuity, not bad! Since you have checked so many things, what do you think King Yu should do with receiving so many valuable artifacts? His Majesty was careless, but Su Jiang quietly glanced at Su Cen.

"Weichen was shocked when he first heard this, Yuzhou is a prosperous place of our dynasty, and His Majesty can see the grace of His Royal Highness King Yu. The prince of the dignified palace has a lot of shares of the court, and he has a fief rent, and His Royal Highness King Yu has a lot of rewards for his outstanding military achievements, how can he love money so much? Later, after inquiry, I learned that these utensils were sold for cash and spent on the Black Mountain Ride, and His Royal Highness cherished the soldiers and horses, and the best supplies should be provided, so the money of the imperial court was not enough, not greedy for money······" Su Cen defended King Yu one by one, bluntly saying that he was doing everything for the army and would never seek personal gain from it.

Su Jiang saw that His Majesty's face was getting worse and worse, but Su Cen seemed to be more and more unable to speak, so he simply interrupted: "If you want to talk about business, you go to the study, the noise makes my ears hurt." Your Majesty, why don't you eat first, Achen Shao is here with me, and he hasn't tasted my cook's craft yet. This is still a person sent by Ah Chi a year ago, and he is also very good at making vegetarian food. ”

His Majesty naturally knew what the concubine meant, so he suppressed his anger and held Su Jiang's hand: "The concubine has spoken, naturally eat first, you go and explain to them first!" ”

Su Jiang got up and gave Su Cen a warning look.

When Su Jiang left, His Majesty put down the fold, looked at him and said, "If I want you to check King Yu, will you check it or not?" ”

Su Cen raised his head slightly and seemed to be surprised, and after a little thought, his tone was firm: "Your Majesty has an order, and the minister will never live up to his trust." ”

The footsteps of the concubine were near, His Majesty looked at Su Cen, and motioned to the people around him to put away the fold in his hand, and told Su Cen to get up. "Have you been to the village lately?"

"Since that day there was an accident on the village, the mountain has been closed when the minister went up again, so he has never gone up." Although Su Cen quietly touched the mountain, the mountain was heavily guarded, and he really couldn't enter the place where the so-called Su family furniture practiced the part that caused criticism at the beginning. Su Zen's words are half-true, but there is no doubt about it.

"Can anyone stop you? Not the mountain you sealed? "Your Majesty is a little strange and doesn't quite understand what Suzen means.

Su Cen raised his head in shock, and Su Cen could only guess about the matter of Dao Ge Zhai so far: he only knew that his father was probably training a private army in Dao Ge Village under the order of His Majesty, but he was informed by the victorious King Yu and sent Shu Yao to explore the mountain under the pretext of suppressing bandits, thus ruining His Majesty's arrangement. Then, in order to conceal this small army, His Majesty sent his father to prison. In order not to repeatedly delay and expose His Majesty's arrangement, Su Cen and Chongyao teamed up to deal a blow to King Yu.

So Suzen doesn't understand, why did His Majesty ask this question? Could it be that Your Majesty doesn't believe Fang Cai's words?

Su Cen clasped his head in a kneeling position, "Weichen doesn't dare to bully the king, and he has indeed never gone up." ”

His Majesty was also stunned when he heard this, "That's it, that's it, get up!" I have already signaled to your father to hand over the affairs of Daoge Village to you when you come back from Jinzhou, presumably because he knows that you have not finished handling the matter at hand, so he delayed. ”

Su Cen got up when he heard this, and he was still chewing on His Majesty's words, that is to say, it was not His Majesty's order to close the mountain in Daoge Village, and the person in charge of Daoge Village was his father before, so his father could arrange the affairs of Daoge Village in the prison, why didn't he give himself a peace?

Suzen thought a lot for a moment, why? Why? One by one, it seems that they have fallen into another mystery. Not only himself, but also Ah Chi has no news, and even Aunt Yu doesn't know, why?

Su Cen regretted a little that he handed over the information of Jingyang Bofu so early, since his father's situation in the prison was not as critical as imagined, did it mean that it was a very unwise move to rashly offend King Yu this time?

Could King Qinghe already know about this in advance? That's why I always urge, for fear that the night will be long and the dream will be too much, and the delay will change. Is he being taken advantage of? Even if Su Cen had 10,000 questions in his heart, he could only thank him and eat quietly.

In addition to being in front of Su Chi, the concubine has always believed in the habit of eating without saying a word, so Su Cen ate this meal with a lot of thoughts.

After eating, seeing that His Majesty was still there, Suzen retired with interest.

However, Su Cen naturally didn't care what His Majesty thought, although he was quite calm, but his heart was already full of anger. By the time he returned to the Antai Temple, his anger was out of control, and he gave orders to the empty room.

"The matter of Yiyang Bofu, follow these clues, check one by one, and it is especially important for King Yu to understand clearly. If anyone makes it up, find out what it is. There is no mistake to hide it, everything as soon as possible! "Su Yuan has been locked up for half a month, and it can't be explained if it drags on any longer.

After saying that, he threw the fold out, and was caught by a gust of wind sweeping through the air. His Majesty ignored it, and only listened to a majestic voice in the air that replied "yes", which should be the voice of a grown man.

In the Qinghe Palace, Chongyao sat in the study in court clothes and listened to Tianying's report, "You mean Su Cen had a very bad face when he came out of the palace gate?" When did he come out? ”

Chongyao didn't know why Su Cen didn't directly impeach King Yu in the court, but went to Chongxi Hall after the court, presumably because he was afraid of offending King Yu, but he did everything, and he would be offended no matter what.

"Yes, my face is very bad, about three quarters later."

Three quarters? In other words, there should be at least more than an hour to meet with his father, so he should have already spoken, so why didn't his father call King Yu to confront him in court? Or does it mean that even if the father is suspicious of King Yu, he can't bear to expose him so much? Or did my father not believe it at all? It's impossible, and if you don't believe it, Suzen won't come out intact. It is impossible for the father to tolerate such a thing as recruiting troops and horses with money. Such speculation was too weak, so he ordered: "Tianying, you go to Su's house in person, and ask the county lord Taoqiu Opera Club to see you, the time is set by her, as soon as possible!" ”

"Your Highness, isn't it like Mr. Yiya told the county lord as before?"

"No, it's too late." Chongyao waved his hand, this would have to know the content of Su Zen's conversation with his father as soon as possible, otherwise all preparations would be useless.

During the time that King Qinghe was thinking hard, Su Cen was playing his horse without interest, and although he sorted things out over and over again along the way, he still felt that there were many loopholes in it that could not be explained. Coincidentally, as soon as Su Cen returned to the house, he planned to discuss today's matter with Ah Chi, but he happened to bump into the trotting porter at once, and Su Cen was not happy: "What to do, panic!" ”

The little guy's face was pale, Su Cen became suspicious, thinking that it was some kind of stealing javascript: thief, and looked at the face again, "It's better to explain it clearly, otherwise you will be taken to the official, and if you don't recruit, maybe you will be done here." With the power of the Su family, it is not impossible to do it, this little guy was so frightened that his legs trembled when he heard it, and he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The prince spares his life, someone outside asked me to send this post to the county lord." ”

Su Cen squinted, picked up the invitation and read it, and suddenly felt a fire in his heart: "What about the person who sent the invitation?" Chongyao actually gave Ah Chi a post like this, Ah Chi's identity is eye-catching enough. Chongyao used to be half a rich idler, but after this incident, I'm afraid it won't, once he gets the heir's seat again, Ah Chi will be infinitely amplified by someone who has a heart as long as he has the slightest relationship with him. It took a lot of hard work to escape from Ning Lizhen's shadow, what if this fell into the marriage of King Qinghe again?

"That man, that man is still waiting outside to reply!"

"Tell him that the county lord will not go to the appointment. It's over, we won't see each other today, and we won't see each other again! ”

The little guy was stunned for a while, and Su Cen kicked it: "It's the county lord who said it, do you understand?" ”
