"Anyway, the veil is in my hand now, and when my father comes back, I can say whatever I want." Su Wanyan smiled very happily.

Huo Qingqing knelt down, "I beg you, don't talk nonsense to your father, I really didn't have an affair with anyone." ”

It's okay to say anything, but you can't say fornication, otherwise she's really finished.

At this time, Su Yuxian's voice came from the door, "Mother, someone from the palace has come, saying that my father has returned to Beijing and has been left in the palace by the emperor." ”

Su Wanyan was shocked, why did she stay in the palace?

Huo Qingqing immediately got up from the ground, glanced at Su Wanyan, and threatened with hatred: "You'd better keep your mouth shut." ”

When the news came, it could be said that it saved her, and she felt both happy and a little worried in her heart.

She wiped her face and immediately opened the door and walked out, asking Su Yuxian, "Did you say why you want to stay in the palace?" ”

Su Yuxian shook her head, "I didn't say it." ”

Huo Qingqing paced back and forth on the corridor, and Su Wanyan also came out of it and heard what Su Yuxian said, and she also became nervous.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? What do you walk around? ”

Su Yuxian thought that her father's triumphant return this time must have been praised by the emperor, and the emperor asked her father to accompany him to dinner, and then her father drank too much, and the emperor left him in the palace with compassion.

Huo Qingqing patiently explained to her: "If the emperor leaves your father to rest in the palace, this is a gratifying thing, and the palace people will definitely say it, but if you don't say it, it's another reason." ”

"What could be the reason for that?" Su Yuxian asked anxiously.

Huo Qingqing shook his head, "I hope it's a good thing." ”

At this time, Lingxiu suddenly walked into the courtyard and saluted Huo Qingqing and Su Yuxian, before saying to Su Wanyan: "Miss, the young master is back, looking for you everywhere." ”

Su Wanyan followed Lingxiu out of the courtyard, and Lingxiu said to her: "Miss, someone sent a letter with a hidden weapon and nailed it to the window. ”

The two walked back to the courtyard quickly, Luo Shinian took the letter and read it, only to know that it was sent by Duanmu Rui, saying that he was going to see her soon, and he hid in the courtyard if he had something important to tell her.

Su Wanyan knew that Duanmu Rui did this because she knew that she was not in the yard and was afraid that she would alarm the maid by appearing, so she asked the maid to call her back in this way.

She immediately dismissed the maids and told them to go back to the house, and then she called out into the courtyard, "Come out." ”

Duanmu Rui immediately flew down from the wisteria tree in the courtyard and landed in front of her.

"What are you looking for from me?" Su Wanyan wondered, they had only met more than an hour ago, why did they come to her again.

"I'm here to tell you that General Su has been falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the emperor will soon send someone to search the general's mansion." After Duanmu Rui finished speaking, he looked at Su Wanyan worriedly.

"Are you sure? It's not that the emperor should be very happy to have good news at the border gates, but now why has it suddenly become a collaborator and treason. Su Wanyan couldn't believe that this was the truth.

Duanmu Rui said heavily: "Yes, I was also at the border at that time, and I did win a lot of battles, but this time someone was probably jealous, so he was framed." ”

"The emperor also believes it?" Su Wanyan said hatefully, and immediately felt that the emperor was not a good thing.

"So I'm here to tell you one more thing, quickly search the house to see if there is anything that will make people suspicious, whatever it is, destroy it immediately, and maybe the person who framed it has already arranged evidence in the house, so destroy it before the searcher arrives."

Su Wanyan nodded, planning to go to Su Sui's study and residence immediately, Duanmu Rui also followed her, it was already dark at this time, and it should not be seen, and it happened that she also needed someone to make an idea, so she acquiesced to the two of them acting together.

When they arrived at Su Sui's study, Luo Shinian lit the candlestick with the fire fold prepared in the house, and the two searched quickly in the house.

I searched almost every book, and sure enough, I found letters suspected of communicating with the Huns, and I found some books that were also about the Huns.

As long as it was related to the Huns, including the decorations hanging on the wall, they were all collected together, taken to the garden and burned, and then buried in the earth pit.

After doing these Duanmu Rui left, Su Wanyan went to Huo Qingqing again, although she was extremely reluctant to see her now, but in order to prevent those who framed Su Sui from succeeding, she still went hard, and told her the news she got from Duanmu Rui, Huo Qingqing and Su Yuxian were half frightened to death, and hurriedly started looking in their own house, but they really found some jewelry, and at this time they were reluctant to take care of it, Huo Qingqing burned them all and buried them under the big tree in the yard.

As soon as they had done all this, they heard the steward come to report that someone had come to the palace.

"What's going on out there?" Huo Qingqing took Su Wanyan and Su Yuxian and asked the steward while walking out.

"The emperor's close attendant, Gonggong Chen, brought a team of people and horses, and it was at the door." The housekeeper was also very panicked, walking so fast that he almost tripped over a stone several times.

The three of them walked to the door together, only to see that the street at the door was lit up by torches, and a team of black-armored sergeants of about twenty or thirty people were neatly arranged with blades in their hands, forming a momentum that soared to the sky, and Gonggong Chen rode a high-headed horse without any expression on his face, which made people feel gloomy and terrible.

The three of them hurriedly knelt on the ground, pretending not to know anything, and asked Gonggong Chen what he was going to do with the people.

Gonggong Chen's shrill voice sounded from the horseback: "I was instructed by the emperor to come to your mansion to find something for General Su. ”

This is clearly an excuse, if you are looking for something for Su Sui, can you use so many soldiers, wouldn't it be faster to find it directly by the people in the mansion themselves.

Huo Qingqing naturally heard it, and took the opportunity to ask, "General, how is he now?" ”

Gonggong Chen squinted coldly and glanced at Huo Qingqing, and responded: "General Su has already rested in the palace, so I won't bother you." ”

It's so late, and I've been marching for many days, and I'm tired, so long as I have a shelter from the wind and rain, I guess I can sleep.

After asking one more question, it was already a grace, and after Su Wanyan and the three of them got up, Gonggong Chen broke in with someone.

The three of them all walked into the courtyard and stood, and all the subordinates also gathered in the courtyard, guarded by soldiers, Huo Qingqing asked the steward to move tables and chairs to the courtyard, and served tea and served Gonggong Chen.

Although they searched it in advance, they were still apprehensive, who knows if there was anything missing.

However, after standing for half an hour, they didn't hear the news of finding something from inside, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Soldiers kept coming to report that they hadn't found what General Su wanted, and Gonggong Chen couldn't sit still, got up from the Taishi's chair, walked to the place where Su Sui lived, and ordered to search again, and he personally checked it.

After another half an hour, the courtyard was brightly lit, everyone was quiet, feeling the seriousness of the matter, everyone was nervous and trembling, holding their breath, as if there was a ghost head knife on their heads.

Gonggong Chen finally returned to the courtyard again, scanned everyone with murderous intent, and then asked Huo Qingqing: "Who is the hand to deliver General Su's letters on weekdays?" ”

Huo Qingqing lowered his head and said, "As long as the general is in the mansion, many personal matters are handled by the Wang Steward who has followed him for many years. ”

The steward of the king bent out of the queue and knelt on the ground, as if he was too frightened, and after kneeling down, he kept kowtowing, and shouted: "The little one should die, the little one should die." ”

"How the hell are you?" Gonggong Chen walked in front of him, and the black official boots were in front of his forehead, bringing invisible pressure to Steward Wang.

Steward Wang stopped kowtowing, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"The general's correspondence is all handled by you, but now the important letter that the general is looking for is missing, and this is all your fault."

Gonggong Chen's thin and cold voice was like a steel knife.

Steward Wang hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, and Gonggong Chen gave an order, "Take him away for me." ”

The two black armor soldiers came over and dragged up the king's steward, and walked out with Gonggong Chen.

On the morning of the second day, the emperor opened his mouth and said: "I have recently received a secret report that Su Sui collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, and the defeat of the Huns so smoothly is evidence, and the border city has frequent Huns in and out, as if there is no control in the slightest." ”

Some ministers were ventilated by the emperor in advance, and some people stood up and said that the Huns were fierce, and they had never heard of good news in less than half a year, and the war behind them was also smooth, and I heard that the Huns were driven to a place hundreds of miles away from the border.

"Although General Su's ability is obvious to all, and he has fought with the Huns before, he has never been as smooth as this time, which is indeed doubtful."

"Just after the battle, before the people got a respite, there were Huns entering and leaving the border city at will, which is really unheard of, if it is not for foreign countries, this will not make sense at all."

"Although Su Sui is a general with great military achievements, he can't cover up his treasonous crimes, how can our dynasty tolerate and tolerate such people, forget Your Majesty's knowledge."

In this way, Su Sui's military exploits became unwarranted evidence of his treason for collaborating with the enemy and treason under the intentional framing.

However, there are still people in the court who do not believe that Su Sui will commit treason, especially some upright old ministers, some civil servants represented by the scholars of the palace, and veterans who have been friends with Su Sui's father, and even those who have been trained and promoted by him feel that this matter is not very credible.

The scholars of the palace came out to advise the emperor, "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, Su Sui won the battle all the way, and the people all praised him, if he hastily gave him a conclusion of collaborating with the enemy, it would definitely cause the people to be angry." Now that he has returned to the court, it is better to ask him to come out for questioning, if he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, His Majesty can also tell the world and give the people an explanation, the people hate the thief who betrays the country and seeks glory the most, and it will definitely make him discredited when the time comes. ”

Another veteran came out to lose his temper, "Emperor, based on a secret report, without verification, he concluded that Su Sui collaborated with the enemy, and he would not believe or accept it, even my old man would not accept it, who in the world would believe it." ”

The palace scholar has a saying to the point, Su Sui won the battle, the people supported and praised him, and Su Sui came back this time to have the military power of 100,000 troops, the emperor has long begun to suspect him, afraid that he is unwilling to hand over the military power, he can't tolerate anyone who may threaten him, and this hand is to get rid of Su Sui, and make his reputation stinky, let the people spit on him, and then take back the military power as a matter of course.

However, he had long expected that someone would speak for Su Sui, and in order to convince everyone, he asked Su Sui to be brought to the main hall.

Su Sui was still wearing a military uniform, but he only took off his helmet, and he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of resisting, and knelt respectfully in the hall.

The emperor opened his mouth to inquire, and told him what he had just said about the secret report that he had collaborated with the enemy and treason, and asked him if he had anything to explain.

Although Su Sui was respectful, how could he admit it.

"The ministers are loyal and courageous, and they only think about protecting the stability of the border, freeing the people from the suffering of war, and making the court stable. As for what the Huns said about the entry and exit of the border cities, it was that the minister promised the Huns and taught them the skills of planting and building houses, they have been harassing the border for many years, as long as there is a bad year, they will be more wanton, the only reason is that they do not have a stable life, can not ensure food and clothing, so they burn, kill and loot. ”
