"When the war is over and the border is stable, the minister wants the local market to resume as soon as possible, so that the border can prosper and the people's lives can be guaranteed."

"This should not be the duty of the minister, but the local people jointly requested, and the minister did not dare to refuse, so he did more."

It is precisely because he has done too much and made the people love him that he has aroused the suspicion of the emperor.

The officials below kept whispering, some said that he was overstepping his authority and was suspected of buying people's hearts, and some said that he wanted what the people thought and did the right thing, and that he was far away from the border, and it was understandable that he did not report to the court in time.

The emperor coughed, the officials stopped talking, and silence returned to the hall.

"If what you say is true, then there is also a suspicion of overstepping your authority and not reporting it, as for whether you have treason and collaboration with the enemy, I just want to ask you today."

The intimate chamberlain did not need his instructions, and had already brought the king's steward up.

The king's steward knelt in the hall, knowing that he could see the emperor on the dragon chair as soon as he looked up, so he buried his head deep in his chest, and his body trembled like chaff.

"Wang Quan, how did you appear above the main hall?"

It was really surprising that Wang Quan and a subordinate appeared in this hall, especially Su Sui, who immediately had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, I heard Wang Quan grab Su Sui and cry: "Master, master, the matter can't be hidden, it's a little incompetent, and I didn't keep the secret for you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Su Sui was shocked, and the officials also exchanged heads and talked about it.

Naturally, the emperor didn't need to speak to a subordinate, and the attendant beside him spoke: "Wang Quan, just tell me why you appeared in this hall." ”

Steward Wang kept kowtowing to the top, "The general's letters have to go through the small hand, the small one has long found that the general communicates with the Huns, this time the Huns invaded the border pass are all discussed by them, because there is the prince with the army, so the battle was very fierce at the beginning, after the prince left, the lord and the Huns secretly made peace, and now the border pass is almost occupied by the Huns." ”

After he finished speaking, the officials talked louder.

Su Sui looked at Wang Quan fiercely and scolded: "I have always been kind to you, why do you frame me like this, what about the evidence, you said that you saw my correspondence with the Huns, and found out the letter for everyone to see." ”

Wang Quan also let go at this time, although he was nervous and scared, his face was full of sweat, but he said loudly: "The evidence must have been destroyed before you left Beijing, I have seen those letters with my own eyes." ”

Su Sui said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister's loyalty and courage can be learned, if you can't show evidence, the minister will not admit it." ”

The officials looked at the situation in the palace at this time, and they had stopped discussing, everyone had their own thoughts, and most of them naturally had to look at the emperor's intentions, and the palace scholar just now stood up again and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be hasty, how can you explain it to the people of the world without evidence." ”

The old general also snorted coldly, "Is it a trivial matter to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, how can you be convicted without evidence based on the words of a subordinate." ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial."

"This matter has a stake in the emperor's reputation, and it cannot be taken lightly."

Several ministers advised the emperor to handle this matter carefully, which could be regarded as intercession for Su Sui, who was in crisis at this time.

The emperor's face turned black into the bottom of the pot, but five or six ministers came forward to remind and persuade him, and he couldn't insist on going his own way, so he had to say to Su Sui: "I also want someone to carefully investigate, from today onwards, you can go back to the house to cultivate with peace of mind, you don't have to participate in the affairs of the court and China, and wait for the matter to come to light." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Sui slowly walked out of the main hall, his steps were heavy, and his back looked very tired.

Before he walked out of the palace gate, the emperor's close attendant passed the emperor's dictation, asking him to hand over the military power, and he had to obey.

When he returned to the mansion in a cold manner, he was placed under house arrest, he could not interfere in military affairs, nor could he make friends with any officials, all normal social exchanges had stopped, and the door was deserted, only a few subordinates secretly sent gifts and letters of condolence.

If it weren't for this unwarranted treason, he would have returned triumphantly, and at this moment, it is estimated that those who want to join the enemy have kicked off the threshold.

At the family banquet, everyone did not have a trace of joy, Su Sui glanced at Su Wanyan and Su Yuxian, and found that there was no Su Heming, so he asked Su Wanyan: "What about your brother, don't you want to see my father?" ”

Su Wanyan hurriedly said: "Heming and Mr. went out on a trip because the news of my father's return ......"

She glanced at Huo Qingqing and told the truth, "The news of my father's return and my daughter only found out yesterday. ”

Su Heming went out with Xiao Shi a few days ago, and it was not possible to learn these things behind closed doors, so Xiao Shi often took him out.

And Su Sui just came back, and Su Wanyan hadn't had a chance to tell him that Su Heming had worshiped the master as a teacher.

Su Sui listened to what Su Wanyan said, slapped the table and stood up.

"What? I only found out yesterday, I have already repaired the letter and returned home, why did you only find out yesterday? ”

After speaking, he glanced at Huo Qingqing and asked loudly: "Did you deliberately conceal it?" Why do you want to do this? ”

Huo Qingqing turned her head and glared at Su Wanyan fiercely, grabbed Su Sui, who stood up, and said softly: "Master, it's because the concubine is not in good health, the concubine has a lot of things, and Wanyan often goes out of the house, and I want to tell her that she has never found a chance." You are angry, the concubine and the children have been looking forward to you for so long to bring you back, at least have a good meal. ”

Huo Qingqing was suing herself, and Su Wanyan said: "My daughter has opened another pharmacy, so sometimes she goes to take care of it, and she is not always at home." Father, stepmother is right, daughter and sister are looking forward to you coming home, don't say anything today, eat this meal happily first, it can be regarded as a breeze and dust for you. ”

In front of Su Sui, she still endured the disgust and called Huo Qingqing's stepmother and maintained basic etiquette.

She picked up the wine glass again and said to Su Sui: "The daughter respects her father, hopes that her father is in good health, and her wish will come true, and I also wish my father a great victory, a triumphant return, and protect the safety of the people." ”

Su Sui was full of emotion, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and took a sip, now that he was wronged, what he wanted to hear most was these sincere words.

Su Wanyan also took a sip, glanced at Huo Qingqing and Su Yuxian and said, "Daughter, stepmother and sister, those of us who are close to us all believe that our father has been wronged, we will only feel honored for you, and we also believe that the truth of my father's matter will definitely be revealed soon." ”

Huo Qingqing hurriedly said: "Yes, master, we all believe you, yesterday I heard that you were left in the palace by the emperor, we were all anxious, and told me politely, someone framed you, we didn't delay for a moment, and immediately destroyed all the things that might be used as evidence, so many people came and didn't find any evidence." ”

After she finished speaking, she dragged Su Yuxian again, and Su Yuxian also hurriedly raised her glass to salute Su Sui, "My daughter believes that her father Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be able to settle his grievances soon." ”

In fact, she and Huo Qingqing's hearts were about to drip blood at this time, and Su Sui spent so much effort to win the battle, but instead of being promoted to the rank and knighthood, she was placed under house arrest at home, and even the glory of the past was dimmed.

She almost saw that the position of the crown princess was getting farther and farther away from her, and it was not easy for her to remain calm at this time.

Su Sui listened to everyone's words, and finally didn't lose his temper anymore, and sat down to eat a meal amicably.

After the meal, it was already dark, so he asked Su Wanyan to go to his study.

Only then did Su Wanyan tell Su Sui about Su Heming's extraordinary talent in making hidden weapons and weapons during this time, and also said that when he apprenticed with Xiao, he learned Qimen Dunjia.

Su Sui was shocked at the same time, but he was overjoyed, and felt that this was all Su Wanyan's teaching, and he appreciated her even more in his heart.

Su Sui told her again that on the main hall today, Wang Quan pointed out that he collaborated with the enemy and committed treason.

"This incident is definitely deliberately framed by the emperor, but it is a pity that my father sacrificed his life to kill the enemy for the country, but in the end he was suspicious and framed." Su Wanyan hated it very much in her heart.

Su Sui was obviously disappointed in the emperor, his eyes were full of loneliness, and he couldn't stop sighing.

"I heard from your stepmother that you got the news that someone had framed you as a father, where did this news come from?"

Su Wanyan hesitated for a moment and told the truth, "It's Duanmu Rui, the daughter he came to tell." ”

Su Sui nodded heavily, and was thinking about it, when he heard a noise from the window, he glanced vigilantly and walked out, and saw a tall figure standing in the courtyard.

Only the outline of a person could be seen in the dark courtyard, and Su Sui asked, "May I ask who your Excellency is ......?"

The tall figure turned around, and Su Sui immediately recognized that it was Duanmu Rui that Su Wanyan had just mentioned, and hurriedly said, "It turned out to be the prince, please come in and talk." ”

Su Wanyan had already heard it at the door, and she was surprised that this Duan Mu Rui was a whistleblower and came late at night, and she didn't know what purpose she had, after all, he was a person who was closely watched by the emperor, and she had to think about it more.

Duanmu Rui came in, she immediately saluted, and Duanmu Rui actually made a big salute to Su Sui.

"If it weren't for the fact that the king had given the generals all his military exploits, it would not have made the emperor suspicious, and there would have been no follow-up." He said very apologetically.

Su Sui waved his hand again and again, "It is also the minister who should not answer the people, restore the market for them, and privately decide to teach the Huns to plant and build houses, and should ask to return to Beijing immediately after the war." ”

"What the general does is a good thing for the country and the people, but the emperor is too suspicious and suffers the general."

After listening to Duanmu Rui and Su Sui's words, Su Wanyan learned more about the inside story, and remembered that she still suspected that Duanmu Rui was a deserter at that time, and she felt a little guilty.

I only heard Duanmu Rui say again: "Now that the general has been seized of military power and is under house arrest in the mansion, I don't know what to do in the future?" ”

Su Sui sneered, "What else, when the emperor finally recognizes the facts, pardons the minister, or there is another war at the border, and when the minister is needed, the emperor will remember the benefits of the minister, restore the freedom of the minister, and send the minister to lead the army into battle." However, the minister naturally hoped that the border would remain peaceful. ”

This said that the emperor was very cold, and Duanmu Rui could best understand this helpless and injured feeling, so he smiled and didn't speak.

Su Sui also smiled, "This is also very good, self-cultivation at home, no entertainment but quiet." ”

"This king just feels that he has wronged the general and buried the general." Duanmu Rui glanced at Su Sui with a smile, "Speaking of which, this king and the general are suffering from the same disease, if the general doesn't think that this king has a lot of things, or if he doesn't think that this king is also deserted, you might as well walk around with each other, and you will also take care of each other in the future, general, what do you say?" ”

Su Wanyan understood what he meant, let alone Su Sui, he immediately understood that Duanmu Rui was trying to win him over.

Su Sui looked at Duanmu Rui and smiled, "The minister has just returned from the battlefield, and he has not recovered yet, he needs to recuperate, and the emperor ordered that the minister is not allowed to make friends with officials, and the minister must not make the emperor unhappy with the limelight." ”

His words obviously indicated that he refused to make friends with Duanmu Rui, but Duanmu Rui didn't care, but said: "It's because this king is in a hurry, so naturally he has to wait until the general is well cultivated, and in the long run, this king will wait for the general to come to the door." ”
