Chapter 584: The Bottom Line
Mo Yu came in from outside the door and saw Mo Cong studying in the courtyard. After they entered the city, they had been living in the mansion of Xiahou Po, Marquis of Ruyin, which was also requested by Xiahou Po. The matter in Shangzhou was quite a shock to Xiahou, Su Ren was ruthless and not afraid of anyone, which made Xiahou Po always feel unsafe. Since these two people from the Mo family can save their lives, it is best to stay by their side, in case Su Ren seeks revenge, it is good to have a helper.
Mo Yu added some water for Mo Cong and stood behind Mo Cong without saying a word. After reading the volume, Mo Cong put down the bamboo slip and picked up the water bowl: "Have you ever succeeded?" ”
Mo Yu shook his head: "There were four people in total, and they shot five arrows, one arrow went into the car, and the other arrow was blocked by a guard who sacrificed his life, I don't know if anyone was injured in the car, but the guard was not seriously injured." ”
Mo Cong smiled and shook his head: "I actually do such pediatric tricks, I really think my life is too long!" Mo Yu didn't speak, Mo Cong turned around and asked, "Those people can be caught?" “
"No, the disciple has already dealt with it properly, please rest assured."
Mo Cong nodded: "By the way, does Su Ren know about this?" ”
"I shouldn't know yet, Su Ren is still in the palace and has never come out."
"Hehehe! I don't know how Su Ren would react if he knew about this? It's better to be angry, only then will Chang'an be chaotic, and we will have a chance. ”
The banquet in the palace was announced to be over as soon as it began, because the emperor was in no mood. Everyone didn't know what was happening, but they all got up and took their leave. Su Ren also wanted to leave, but was left behind by the emperor. After everyone left, Su Ren looked at the empty Wude Hall and was confused.
As soon as the emperor waved his hand, Liu Jiqing hurriedly bowed and saluted, gave the chamberlain and palace maid next to him a look, and everyone retreated respectfully. Without making a single noise, ordinary people can't do such rules. Liu Jiqing walked last, waited for all the idle people to go out, closed the door of the hall, and stood outside the door with his eyes closed.
Liu Che took a deep breath: "You have to be mentally prepared, don't be rash!" ”
Su Ren was even more confused: "Your Majesty said bluntly, what happened?" ”
"I just received the news that there were a few gangsters at the intersection of Wuhua Road, and they ran away after shooting a few arrows, and none of these rice buckets were caught!"
Su Ren frowned: "Who did you do murder against?" ”
Liu Che glanced up at Su Ren, and said for a long time: "It's my fault that I failed to fulfill my promise to you and injured your second lady, but don't worry, I will investigate this matter strictly, and I will never give up until I find those people out!" But I hope you can understand that Chang'an is not a year ago, and I am trying my best to maintain many things, and nothing can go wrong. ”
Su Ren didn't speak.
Liu Che continued: "You should be able to guess who did it, but I hope you can endure it for a while, and when Chang'an settles down, these people will be dealt with by you!" How is it? ”
Su Ren suppressed the anger in his heart, and said for a long time: "Your Majesty, the minister understands His Majesty's hardships, and he has his own measure!" ”
Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief: "So good!" I have Ziheng is no less than Taizu has the ovary, Ziheng can rest assured, I am not Taizu, and I can share hardships and prosperity! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
The two talked for a long time in the Wude Palace, and Liu Che talked about the current situation in Chang'an. Since the Empress Dowager Dou became seriously ill, there have been obvious movements in both the palace and the court. The palace was headed by the Queen Mother, and many people began to flock to Changxin Palace. And the Queen Mother has tried the emperor several times, starting from arranging minor officials, and now many of the Jiuqing are the Queen Mother's people.
The court is headed by Tian Wei, although Tian Wei is only a captain, but he is also the uncle of the emperor, the younger brother of the Queen Mother, as long as the Queen Mother is in power, Tian Wei will replace Dou Ying sooner or later, so more and more people in the court gathered around Tian Wei, and even the princes outside the gate have sent people to take Tian Wei's way.
The most infuriating thing is that Mrs. Dou also has a tendency to resurrect, relying on the identity of her daughter as the queen to meddle in the affairs of the court. And they have the trust of the Queen Mother, the mother and daughter sometimes spend all day in the Changxin Palace, and when they say that they are visiting the Queen Mother, everyone knows that they are pouring ecstasy soup into the Queen Mother. Especially for Mrs. Wei, there has never been a good word from their mouths.
Su Ren also made an analysis for Liu Che. According to Liu Che's words, today's Chang'an is divided into four factions, one is the queen mother, one is Tian Wei, one is the queen lady, one is the emperor, and the first three factions have a tendency to merge into one. If these people were really together, the emperor's weak body alone would not be able to stop them. Mother, uncle, mother-in-law, all of them are close relatives, and even the emperor can't afford to be a little unfilial if he is a little unfilial.
Su Ren said: "If Your Majesty wants to get out of trouble, you must divide these people, only by breaking each one can you win the battle, if they collude with each other, no one can do anything." ”
Liu Che sighed: "I don't know, but it's easier said than done to divide it, I have tried many methods, but none of them worked." ”
Su Ren said: "Among the three factions, the Queen Mother is the strongest, followed by the Taiwei Tian Wei, and the weakest is the eldest princess, so if Your Majesty wants to divide, start with the eldest princess, step by step, only the Queen Mother is left, it will be easy to do!" ”
"Hmm!" Liu Che nodded: "What can you do?" ”
"Not for the time being, wait for the minister to go back and think about it, and I'll tell Your Majesty in a few days."
"It's okay, there was such a big thing just now, everyone in the family is waiting for you, I won't keep you, go back quickly, remember my words, don't do righteous deeds!"
Su Ren suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty just looks at me like this?" I did get a little angry just now, and this will be much better! ”
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."
Out of the palace, Huang Shisan, Manniu, Li Danghu, Wei Qing, Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao, who stayed in Chang'an, were all waiting for him. A few people came out early, and they heard about what happened. Seeing Su Ren come out, Li Danghu, Wei Qing, Gongsun He, and Gongsun Ao immediately surrounded him, led by Li Danghu, and persuaded one after another, hoping that Su Ren would not cause trouble as soon as he returned to Chang'an, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
At the beginning, Su Ren also said a few words for entertainment, and Su Ren became annoyed when he talked too much, and waved his hand: "Stop!" Am I so troublesome in the hearts of several of you? Don't worry, I'm not going to cause trouble this time. ”
Li Danghu nodded: "That's good, it seems that Your Majesty told you." ”
Gongsun He said with a smile: "What did I say just now, we Su Zhonglang have our own arrangements, it's not interesting to only get those few thieves, if you want to get them, you can get the people behind the scenes!" Rest assured, I've got your back! ”
"Mentally, right?" Gongsun Ao glanced at Gongsun He.
"Mentally supportive, too!"
Su Ren saluted everyone: "Everyone, we are all brothers, Your Majesty has already said this matter, your kindness Su Ren naturally understands, please rest assured, I will never cause trouble, but this revenge will always be avenged, and I hope you will help when the time comes!" ”
"What are these words? Look down on us? Gongsun Ao immediately said: "I didn't catch up with the meeting, this time I have to say anything, I can't all of you are Taizhong doctors, I'm just a doctor, standing together and feeling half a head shorter!" ”
Wei Qing said: "This matter is not a promotion, it is to offend people!" ”
"What's the difference, it's not good for Brother Su, that is, it's for Your Majesty, it not only helps Brother Su to complete the brotherhood, but also protects Your Majesty's loyalty to the king, how can you not do it with one stone, Brother Su rest assured, when the time comes, my Gongsun Ao will take the lead!"
"You're a thief!" Gongsun He smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that Su Zhonglang won't need you as a rough man!" ”
Telling some jokes was still to make Su Ren feel relieved, and after chatting for a while, seeing that it was almost dark, Li Danghu hurriedly stopped everyone from letting Su Ren go home. It would be false to say that Su Ren was not in a hurry, but the emperor and this group of guys were well-intentioned, and they were left behind. After talking for a while, he turned over and went straight home.
Liu Gao stood at the door, waiting anxiously. It was an accident on the way back that he escorted several ladies back, and he was the most responsible, but fortunately, there was no big problem, so he could still stand at the door and wait for Su Ren. If there were really three long and two short, he would have died a long time ago and I don't know how many times. After returning from the afternoon, Liu Gao settled a few female dependents and stood at the door all the time, admitting his mistake as soon as possible.
A white horse appeared at the end of the street, and Liu Gao's eyes were red. When Su Ren approached, Liu Gao knelt down with a puff: "Sir, the villain is incompetent and failed to protect the two ladies, so the villain will apologize with death!" ”
"Alright, hurry up, I know what's going on!" Su Ren stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Gao up: "Is the eldest sister okay?" ”
Liu Gao wiped a handful of tears: "The Mr. Chunyu who came back with you has seen it, the skin is traumatized, and there is no major problem, but he can't move his arm for half a month!" ”
Su Ren finally heard his own people say the result, and the heart that had been hanging was completely let go, and he walked into the courtyard quickly. The entire Su family is brightly lit, one is that something happened to them today, and the other is that Su Ren has not come back yet. Hearing the movement in the courtyard, the people in the lobby immediately poured out. As soon as Leng Yue saw Su Ren, tears flowed down unconsciously.
Hawking and Shi Bao were fully armed and carrying weapons: "Big brother, I'm going to gather people and horses, dare to move the eldest sister, I want to kill them all to avenge the eldest sister!" ”
Glaring at Hawking coldly: "Nonsense, go back!" ”
Hawking didn't move, and looked at Su Ren angrily. Su Ren comforted Dong Qian for a while, and said to everyone: "This revenge must be avenged, but not today, how to take revenge?" Naturally, it is a blow that must be hit, so that they will never turn over, since they have no bottom line, let's use the most powerful tricks, and wait a few days, deal with the matter at hand, so that their life is better than death! ”
The people in the courtyard who followed Su Ren from Shu County had red eyes one by one, as long as Su Ren gave an order, they could rebel.
Dong Zhongshu stood on the steps and coughed: "It's good to come back, let's go see Leng Yue!" The others are gone, and we'll talk about it tomorrow! ”
Su Ren stepped forward to salute Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang, Dong Zhongshu was fine, Wen Dang's eyes were moist, and Su Ren was helped up: "It's dark, and it's also spiritual, the biggest gain of the old man in this life is to have Ziheng, a disciple!" ”
