The saint was silent, and sat upright looking at him, his eyes inquiring.

Su Zhan stood down with a calm face and respectfully, as if he was simply coming to meet the monarch as a loyal minister.

After a while, the saint said: "Aiqing came this time, I'm afraid it's not just about the military situation, right?" ”

The person who can ascend the throne in the turbulent dark tide at the beginning must not be ordinary. Now that the Holy One has seen through it, he no longer needs to pretend to be confused.

Su Zhan raised his head and said bluntly: "The last general recommended himself before, and the minister implored the Holy Lord to allow the ministers to send troops to the battle." ”

"Aiqing, isn't it good to live for a long time? Su Zhen can already take charge on her own, and your long-lost daughter has been found, why does Aiqing have to go on the expedition? ”

The saint was a little puzzled, thinking that the recent series of impeachment proceedings were all about slandering the Su family. He understood that some people felt that the Su family's momentum was too strong and deliberately suppressed it.

No matter how many people said it, he never wavered, because he understood very well that the Su family was loyal and disdainful of doing such a rebellious thing.

But the three of them became tigers, and he couldn't watch the Su family being branded as disloyal and unjust. I wanted to find a way to take back the military power, suppress the momentum, and cover for them.

I never thought that at this stall, he received a secret performance, Su Zhen was involved in the old case, and the Pingjiang City defense map was also stolen, although there is no evidence, but once the seed of doubt is planted, it can always shake the hearts of those who are not down-to-earth.

Seeing that the father and son were dragged into the water together, he, the Ninety-Five, was powerless. Fortunately, Su Zhan was able to carry it clearly, not only did he not cover up the facts, but he played the loud horn in the court, which gave him an excuse to be light.

He transferred the military power to his nephew as a temporary manager, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this saint's heart is fundamentally biased, and this military power seems to have been transferred to Tang Mingqi, but who doesn't know, what is the relationship between this Tang Mingqi and the daughter of the Su family? !

Now that such a drama has been staged, why should this General Su ask for trouble!

Su Zhan didn't expect that the saint's heart would turn so many times, and he analyzed with him seriously: "Nanyue has recently gained a fierce general, who is good at riding and shooting, and the minister fought with him twice, but he only won narrowly. If this match, the general with the troops does not understand his tricks, he is likely to suffer. At present, the internal worries have troubled the saint for a long time, and this external trouble will be blocked by the ministers for you! ”

Xu was a little moved by his words, and the saint's face softened, but he still did not respond to his request, but he also relieved and said: "Aiqing retreat first, let me think about this matter." ”

Su Zhan knew that this matter was in a hurry, and now that the pros and cons had spread out in front of the saint, he thought that he should not refuse, so he bowed and retreated.

Although the military situation on the border is urgent, due to Su Zhan's deployment, it can still be delayed for a while. At the moment, the most urgent is the king of Huainan.

The army of the king of Huainan was stationed in the Shili Pavilion outside the city of Pingjiang, because the city of Pingjiang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one is facing the water, the only way to enter the city is a narrow mountain stream that can only pass through two people side by side, he is afraid that there are ambushes in the city, so he simply repairs in situ, and sends people to enter Beijing overnight to ask for the will to enter the city.

After all, it was a funeral, and of course the Holy Lord would not stop him outside the city. With a wave of the royal pen, he directly ordered Ling Shaotang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Su Zhan, the general of Xuanwu, to jointly escort the coffin of the concubine to Pingjiang City.

In fact, this errand originally had nothing to do with Su Zhen, after all, it was just a coffin, and it was from Kyoto to Pingjiang City, all the way was very open, and there was not even a bandit, where was the need for this Xuanwu general to escort.

But this Su Zhen entered the palace three times, just to go with Ling Shaotang. The saint was puzzled, and asked repeatedly, this Su Zhen was dressed in righteous words, what did he say about the concubine coffin, and he was the biological mother of the king of Huainan, and was only escorted by a third-grade minister, which would inevitably damage the face of the king of Huainan, and in order to show that the saint attached great importance to him, he should be escorted together.

Although these words are reasonable, but the saint is not stupid, how can he be perfunctory by his few words, seeing that he really does not leak his words, he is too lazy to deal with him, so he simply responded to him, and only told Ling Shaotang to pay more attention to him.

So, on August 24, Ling Shaotang and Su Zhen took a team of people and horses, pulling the concubine's coffin, out of the West City Gate.

And that afternoon, a shabby carriage entered Kyoto.

The man driving the carriage was dressed in coarse cloth, with triangular eyes, thin sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and white filial piety cloth wrapped around his arms.

Inside the carriage, there was a faint whining sound, with a slight cry.

Then I heard a scolding sound inside: "What to toss!" You lost money! Stay honest with me! ”

If Su Luan heard this scolding, she would be able to identify it, after all, she had listened to this set of scolding for more than ten years.

That's right, it was Lin Qingtian who drove the car, and in the carriage were Mrs. Lin, Xiao Li and Lin Yanyan.

Why don't you see Old Man Lin and Lin Xingwen?

That's a long story, this Lin Xingwen was taken out of the cell by Tang Erye, and he fell seriously ill. However, this disease is not an injury that has been beaten out, but the flower willow disease.

Before in Huachuan Town, Su Luan saw him go in and out of the flower building with the town's gentlemen, and at that time, he contracted this dirty disease.

But this flower willow disease has an incubation period, at the beginning of the first year, it was just itchy and feverish, a few days of good, a few days of bad, this Lin Xingwen didn't take this seriously at all.

However, I don't know if the dampness in the prison was too heavy, or if he was injured by the punishment, and after he got out of the prison, the disease was out of control. First he had a fever, then his whole body ulcerated, and finally he couldn't even eat, and he was sick and died.

As soon as Lin Xingwen died, Lin Qingtian collapsed, and he was mixed in the gambling house every day, and the livelihood of the whole family depended on the few coins that Xiao Li's pulp and laundry clothes exchanged.

Until a few days ago, a nobleman who came to Kyoto entered the dilapidated courtyard of his house. The man first inquired about Su Luan's life experience, explained his intention to him, and finally gave him twenty taels of silver as a fixed money, which made him feel very moved.

That night, Lin Qingtian took the Lajia family with him, packed up all his belongings and put them in the carriage. At the beginning, Mr. Lin only thought that someone wanted them to go to Kyoto, and halfway through, they overheard the conversation between Lin Qingtian and Mrs. Lin.

Without Old Man Lin, Lin Qingtian became more and more unscrupulous, traveling day and night all the way, and shortened the ten-day journey to six days.

Now that he has entered Kyoto, he drove straight to the Ruyi Workshop. parked the carriage at the door, lifted the curtain, and drank inside: "Stop Lao Tzu, otherwise you two will look good!" ”
