Chapter 160: To Stay or Not to Stay
Su Yuan exchanged opinions with Mo Di along the way, although he could also know the outside world remotely in the heavenly prison, but the information on the paper was limited, and he was afraid that he would not be able to say it clearly, so there was a lot less trouble in person.
"With all due respect, now the situation is developing in a favorable direction step by step, whether it is His Majesty's body or the power of several princes, it is also balanced, such a situation is really not easy. You have played this game of chess for so many years, it is still time for the situation to be clear, and now that the prince is in the eyes of His Majesty, it is time to make a big difference. The Guogong Mansion is about to arrive, I'll get off the bus first, you go all the way slowly! Murdy stepped out of the car.
Su Yuan naturally knew what Mo Di meant, Mo Di seemed to be acting uninhibitedly, but in fact, he paid the most attention to grasping the proportions, as if he was just ordering today's matter. Not only to take a stand, but not to take the lead.
As soon as Su Yuan's car arrived at the door, Su Cen was waiting in front of the door, about to salute. At this time, a carriage stopped behind Su Yuan, and Su Yuan stood at the door and wondered who the visitor was, but he didn't expect it to be Su Chi.
Su Cen's face was also three points surprised, Su Yuan looked at Su Chi and looked at Su Cen, or waited for Su Chi to walk to the door before patting Su Cen's shoulder: "Go, go in and say!" ”
As soon as they entered, the brother and sister solemnly performed the junior ceremony, and Su Yuan sat on the main seat and pointed at Su Chi: "Anyway, what's going on?" ”
"Originally, I heard that His Majesty had summoned you to the palace alone, so I discussed with my eldest brother to pick you up at the gate of the palace, but I didn't expect to wait for a long time. Later, you got into another carriage at the palace gate, and your daughter didn't understand what was going on, thinking that her carriage was not spacious and comfortable enough, so she asked them to dismantle it and rebuild it another day. Su Chi lowered his head and looked aggrieved.
Su Chi went to the palace gate to wait, in order not to attract attention, naturally there was no carriage with the Su family logo, so as soon as Su Yuan left the palace gate, he only saw the nearest Modi's car. Just now Mo Di got out of the car, Ah Chi must have seen it, she had the heart to mention what Mo Di hadn't seen before, Su Yuan knew that she minded, so she simply smiled and pulled her to sit down in front of her, and also told Su Cen to sit down: "You, you dare to be a father, it is really more and more out of rules!" ”
In fact, even if Su Yuan's mastermind has any plans not to meet Su Chi, it makes sense, after all, Su Chi is just a girl, but Su Yuan has always regarded her as a half of the young master of the Su family, so he even explained it to her in front of Su Cen.
"The situation was uncertain before, and Mo Di was too busy to deal with other things. The next time you go to him and ask him for his chess games, don't you always want to? ”
Su Chi naturally knew that Su Yuan was just prevaricating, but she didn't want to really say anything from her father's mouth, since Su Yuan said this, Su Chi only raised her eyebrows: "Then I will tell him directly, it is my father's order, and he is not allowed to shirk!" Su Chi Xiao thought that Mo Di's chess games had been for a long time, Mo Di had a set of chess games by himself, and even made up his own chess games to play, but he took his own things preciously, so he refused to borrow them.
Su Cen sat on the side and watched his father and sister exchange words, only quietly drinking tea and listening by the way, he was not good at words, and he didn't feel the need to deliberately greet at this time, he was always silent in front of his father.
Before Su Cen took a sip of tea, he heard Su Yuan ask: "A-Cen, I saw your excerpt at Your Majesty's place today, and it seems to be quite different from before!" ”
Su Yuan held the saucer in his right hand, gently lifted the tea lid with his left hand, and blew lightly, carelessly, without seeing any emotion.
Su Chi first stared at Su Yuan's expression and found that he couldn't see anything, so the brother and sister exchanged a look: to be honest, think about it.
Su Cen settled down, thinking that even if his father wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, he would admit it, anyway, it was to save his father from prison, and now that this wish has been fulfilled, he will take care of the rest. Although Jingyangbo's family was indeed investigated and dealt with in Jinzhou that day, he only followed his father's instructions and did not move Jingyangbo, but waited for their brothers to suspect each other. And then my father was imprisoned for no reason······"
"When I'm not here, you don't take my words to heart, do you? Do you still have my father in your eyes? ”
"Father!"
"Daddy!" The brother and sister shouted at the same time. Su Yuan's words were very serious, and he felt even more guilty for Su Cen, who was already blaming himself.
Su Cen knelt on his knees, and Su Chi heard the sound of his knees hitting the floor at that moment, and Su Cen knelt down and explained: "Anyway, it is an indisputable fact that the son disobeyed his father's will, and I ask my father to punish him!" ”
Su Cen did not mention the matter of joining forces with Qinghe Palace, and Su Chi was also faintly entangled in his heart, did his father know about this? It's best not to say a word, of course, but what if Daddy knows about it from other sources in the future, or if he already knows? Su Chi's palms were slightly sweaty, and he pursed his lips and looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan raised his hand and pulled Su Cen to get up, "It's not easy for you these days, and it's not that you are to blame for being a father, it's just that the matter of Jingyang Bo in Jinzhou affects the whole body." Do you think that you took the opportunity to attack King Yu like this, and he didn't know about it, if he retaliated against you in the future, what would you do? Or do you think that Your Majesty will beat King Yu to the point where there is no place to turn over? ”
Su Cen and Su Chi were both shocked, "But recruiting troops and secretly forming alliances is a taboo for the monarch, how could Your Majesty let him go?" ”
"Your Majesty has just lost a good heir and will not make the same mistake again. Although he was disappointed in King Yu, he would never knock him to the bottom, but would give him a better chance to train. And Su Cen offended a person of such an identity, and almost made a feud with the future prince.
Su Zen's face was also pale, "My son is reckless." "I really didn't have time to think about saving Su Yuan before, but I was really in a critical situation again, and Su Cen found that he had pushed the Su family into an embarrassing situation.
Su Chi didn't know what he was thinking, and heard Su Cen ask Su Yuan urgently: "Even if King Changxin's body is wasted, His Majesty is not only the son of His Royal Highness King Yu!" ”
"You mean Ning Qiongzhen, the king of Qinghe?"
Although Su Cen didn't nod, his expression was indeed what he meant, and Su Chi also looked at Su Yuan, waiting for an answer.
"You remember, Ning Qiongzhen, the king of Qinghe, will never become the prince, his maternal family, his background has long been destined, anyone can be, but he can't."
"Although there were conflicts between the two of us before, if we support it in the future······" Su Chi's three words "King of Qinghe" have not yet been spoken, and they have been rejected by Su Yuan's firm eyes.
"How can you support it? Do you marry him? Su Chi was stunned and speechless, Su Yuan sighed: "I'm tired of my father today, Ah Chi will go and prepare a meal, and wait for my father to have lunch together after bathing." After Su Yuan finished speaking categorically, Su Cen and Su Chi retreated together.
When the two of them exited the door, Su Cen still couldn't hold back: "Don't mention King Qinghe anymore, you should not have happened before, unless you really want to marry him." ”
Su Chi didn't speak, married, or not, she didn't know. In this era, women have no status, and men have three wives and four concubines, and get married? Soike is reluctant to face this problem.
Su Yuan was still bathing, His Majesty in the palace had woken up, and the matter had finally come to an end. His Majesty did not deliberately restore the title of Duke of Yasukuni again, but the practice of rewarding him is not the title of Duke of Yasukuni.
The king of Yu was expelled from the Jinling fief by His Majesty in the name of the loss of honor in the imperial front.
As for the Praetorian Guard, Shu Yao knew the law and broke the law, colluded with the ministers, privately transferred the Praetorian Guard to abuse his power for personal gain, fined him 3,000 li and exiled, and was not allowed to return to Beijing without a recall.
When Su Chi heard this, Bu Cai's hand slowed down, what kind of feelings did he have in Chongyao's heart for this Shu Yao, who was willing to give everything for his position? Will he allow him to be exiled for three thousand miles? Su Chi's heart was mixed, empty, and lost.
Su Chi remembered that when she was in Jinzhou, Shu Yao had a gourd on her waist and a gourd on Chongyao's waist that looked like a pair, and she felt sour in her heart at that time, but she deliberately pretended not to care.
And what about Chongyao? Will he care? What does he regard Shu Yao as, an ally, or a lover? Who gave that gourd to whom, Su Chi remembered that Chongyao had brought it very early, could it be that there was a story in it? Su Chi forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart and concentrated on the meal in front of him. Daddy's first meal after he was released from prison was a matter of some thought.
Different from the joy of the Yasukuni Mansion, the Yu Wangfu at this moment is solemn, and the Yu King returns to the palace, and then waits for His Majesty's derogatory will: Out of Jinling to become a domain, to become a domain, is this to classify me into the vassal kings? So who does the father want to pass on the throne to?
King Qinghe? No, no, otherwise his father would not have killed his mother's clan, and now he doesn't even have a supporter.
King Ke? It could be him, but how could he afford to be the prince with his debauched appearance?
But no matter how unwilling King Yu is in his heart, His Majesty's will has already been made, and he can't help but agree. After receiving the order, King Yu sat down under the corridor dejectedly, and Qu Zhixin stood not far away, waiting for him to ask.
For a long time, King Yu did not speak, he sat there alone and carefully polished his sword, as if he was treating a friend for many years, kind and patient. Qu Zhixin looked at it for a long time, and this steely and upright man would only show the only tenderness on his body when facing a close-fitting sword.
Qu Zhixin was thinking about it, and suddenly saw Su Yao Huanting walking here in the pavilion opposite, Qu Zhixin was about to salute but saw Su Yao put his index finger and middle finger straight to his mouth, signaling him not to make a sound.
Qu Zhixin hasn't seen King Yu for a long time, and as the mastermind of King Yu, King Yu's concubine can be said to be famous.
When Su Yao married King Yu in her early years, the two can be described as a perfect match, a match made in heaven for beautiful heroines. At that time, Su Yao was married as the daughter of the Su family, King Ke was hostage in Southern Qi, and King Yu was temporarily regarded as half the eldest son of the dynasty. That prosperous wedding until many years later still some people remember the grand scene at that time, and later, the world was like flowing water, the Su family had one daughter after another, and Su Yao's gold content as the daughter of the Su family was greatly reduced. Especially when Su Chi gradually grew up and gradually entered the eyes of the royal family, this daughter of Su Yuan's relatives and the niece favored by the concubine really replaced Su Yao as the next woman who was most likely to enter the Chongxi Palace.
Su Yao's steps were light, and there was no sorrow on her face because of her husband's debasement, Qu Zhixin looked at this dignified and stubborn and arrogant woman, and recalled Su Chi who was repeatedly tied by King Qinghe in his mind.
Su Yao's footsteps are light, but King Yu has been practicing martial arts all year round, so he can naturally hear her footsteps. Su Yao walked to his side lightly, didn't speak, just stood like this, and suddenly heard the voice of King Yu: "This king thought that he would never see you in this life." ”
Su Yao has often lived in Zhuangzi outside the city since King Yu remarried, and almost never returned to his home, if it weren't for Su Yao's prestige in the past, he didn't know how the rumors in Jinling flew all over the sky. Su Yao was not annoyed, "Your Highness sees the newcomer every day, and there is still time to think of the old concubine?" ”
King Yu finally turned his face to look at her, worried: "After recuperating from illness these days, why is your face getting worse and worse?" ”
Su Yao held his hand, there were a lot of calluses on his hand that held the sword all the year round, but it was inexplicably reassuring, "Fortunately, I won't be busy in the future, and I have time to recuperate." ”
"I'm afraid it won't work, we have to leave for Yuzhou immediately, Yuzhou is windy and sandy, no better than Jinling water and rice to raise people. I don't know if you can eat this body? ”
Su Yao looked at him with gentle words, but smiled slightly: "Then His Highness feels sorry for the concubine, His Highness will go first, and Concubine Rong will come later." ”
King Yu was taken aback and couldn't believe it: "You don't want to be with this king?" ”
"How? Married couples are naturally friends in Huangquan. It's just that His Majesty has a decree to want the daughters of the Yu Wangfu to stay in Jinling, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave for the time being. Su Yao shook her head and explained to him.
King Yu didn't expect His Majesty to guard against him to this point, just after reciting the holy decree, he listened to the front and was in a trance, where did he have the heart to listen to it again, at this time he heard that His Majesty actually wanted to leave the daughter of King Yu's mansion in Jinling, and was shocked that the emperor's order was so contrary to human feelings, "Then keep the Shen family, and you will return to Yuzhou with this king." ”
Su Yao suddenly pulled out the hands he was holding together, "Your Highness, don't you really want this great country?" ”
King Yu smiled bitterly: "Do you think my father will give it to me?" No, he'd rather give it to a villain like Big Brother than give it to me. He smiled a little hideously, "Because he is afraid, afraid of this king, afraid of Ning Lizhen, and afraid of King Qinghe, he is old, and he is beginning to be afraid of his son······ Hahaha······"
Su Yao looked at him worriedly, her thoughts were a little shaken, did she really rest assured that he would stay in Yuzhou alone? But then Su Yao became firm, he is such an ambitious man, how can he give up power to his brother like this? Or such an incompetent and heartless brother!
"If Your Majesty doesn't give it, Your Highness won't either? His Royal Highness wants the country, and what he left behind can only be concubines, not the Shen family. The Shen family's stay in Jinling will not have any effect, and the concubine staying in Jinling can be His Highness's eyes, can he watch His Highness's every move in the Jinling Imperial City for His Highness, and can help His Highness get what he wants. Su Yao's tone was gentle, but her faith was firm.
King Yu's hand was over her shoulder, and he looked at her face seriously, and after all these years, she could always give him advice and comfort when he needed it. Sometimes she is strong like a man, but she has all the beauty of a woman, how fortunate she is in this life! The beauty is on the side, and the country will eventually arrive!
"You are in Jinling, there are crises everywhere, take care!"
"Your Highness, take care! In case of cold and cold, remember to take medicine and follow the doctor's instructions, and do not go untreated for a long time. "King Yu has a lot of small injuries on his body, but he is confident that he is strong and does not like medicine, and Su Yao is also urging him every day by his side, so he is not at ease.
Su Yao gave another instruction, and then called King Yu's personal servant to explain for a while, and simply wrote six pages full of paper and asked him to do it.
Su Yao stood on the corridor and didn't know what she was thinking, and the grandmother beside her felt sorry for her: "Princess, don't you really tell Your Highness?" ”
"No, I must not be a burden to him."
