Chapter 210: Gourd, Friend
At that time, when Su Qinglin proposed this condition, she agreed without hesitation. Because she knew very well that Emperor Yili's favor for Princess Jingxi would naturally not send her to kiss, and she would never let Ye Linchen become the object of marriage. As for why Su Qinglin did this, she thought that it was probably as Su Qinglin himself said, worried that Su Wan, who had lost the protection of the family, would be displaced, it was better to send her to be close to her, at least she could have no worries about food and clothing.
King Shou, who got Xie Yaoguang's letter, also had doubts. However, after thinking about it again, he still wrote a note, and the above table suggested that Emperor Li could send Su Wan and his relatives. Emperor Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw King Shou's recital, and King Shou's recital still solved his urgent need in the end.
Instead of letting his favorite daughter and capable son become the object of harmony, it is better to choose an orphan girl who has no power to be married, so that he can also show his benevolence. Emperor Li immediately decreed that Su Wan would be crowned the princess of Changping, and she would marry Beiyan and have cultivated the good of Qin and Jin.
Su Qinglin's verdict also came to an end three days later, because Su Wan was about to get married, and Emperor Li had done everything Su Qinglin had done for the calendar for so many years. The original sentence of beheading was also commuted to exile, and the exile to Lingnan set off five days later. And the people of his relatives were also stripped of their titles and demoted to commoners, and they were not allowed to enter the government for life. Since then, the Su family, who have been illustrious for several generations, have been drowned in the long river of time, and the merits and demerits of their lives can only be left for posterity to comment.
The imperial capital of Gusu was magnificent, and the forces of all parties were entrenched in each other. Su Qinglin, as one of the forces, was suddenly eliminated, which made the originally chaotic force even more complicated. As for the Nanya Forbidden Army, which originally belonged to Su Qinglin's jurisdiction, it also fell under the name of King Ding in this situation, and for a while, King Ye Linchen was in the limelight.
But for some reason, King Ding asked His Majesty to take back the forbidden army of Nanya. Of course, Emperor Li did not allow it, and still handed over the Nanya Forbidden Army to Ye Linchen for management. Perhaps because of this, Emperor Li inevitably looked at Ye Linchen differently.
Su Qinglin walked out of Sanshengdao five days before Su Wanyuan's marriage and was released from the prison of the Criminal Department. When he stepped across the path of the Three Lives, he couldn't help but stop at the gate of the hell and look at the hell hidden in the darkness with a sad expression, sighed and then raised his head and laughed three times. Finally, he turned his head and strode out, and the prisoners in the cells on both sides of Sansheng Road watched him walk out, with different expressions, including envy, disdain, and sympathy.
Looking back on this life, he was born in a prominent family, and now he looks back on the past but it seems like a big dream, the glory and wealth are scattered like smoke, and the past is just the mirror and the moon in the blink of an eye, and the dream is empty, perhaps because of the small yarn hat. Anyway, no matter what the reason, it will only be an empty room in the future, and there will be no more wat full bed, and the illustrious mansion will eventually be reduced to a place of withered grass and dead poplars, and no one will remember the grand scene in the meantime.
Su Qinglin was escorted by two rough servants, who set off for the place of exile in the early morning. The reason why it was chosen in the early hours of the morning was only because there were still few people at that time, and it was naturally much more comfortable for a person like Su Qinglin, who had always been proud, at least he didn't have to endure the comments and disdainful eyes of others.
I don't know if it's because the criminal department has shuffled the cards, or because someone has taken care of him, he hasn't been treated harshly in prison, everything is like an ordinary prisoner. Su Qinglin walked slowly across Suzaku Street under the escort of the officials, and when he walked to the gate of the Su Mansion, he stared at the mansion that had removed the plaque but hung a plain curtain, sighed, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.
Su Qinglin, the descendant of Xiao, has come to bid farewell to his ancestors and ancestors. Falling to this end is just because of me alone, so naturally I don't expect the ancestors to forgive.
When Su Qinglin and his party walked to Jiuhua Gate, it happened to meet Ye Linchen and others who came back from the barracks inspection. The soldiers guarding the city gate naturally dispersed the idle people for Ye Linchen first, and Su Qinglin and his party could only wait on the sidelines now. How can these soldiers have the opportunity to see these dignitaries on weekdays, because no one recognizes that this person standing next to him with his head hanging and his beard scattered and dressed in prison clothes will be Su Hou Ye-Su Qinglin, who was once famous in the court. They only thought that this man with heavy shackles was just a felon, where would they think so much.
Until Ye Linchen stood in front of Su Qinglin, his eyes staring at Su Qinglin. A cold murderous intent burst out of his eyes, forcing Su Qinglin's heart to shake.
"Master Su, don't come unharmed." Ye Linchen looked at the person in front of him, his expression was as usual, but his tone was very cold.
"His Royal Highness the King." Su Qinglin raised his head to meet Ye Linchen's gaze and sneered: "Your Highness, are you here to fall into the well?" In Su's impression, it seems that you have no grievances or hatreds with Your Royal Highness. ”
Ye Linchen's thin lips pursed slightly, as if he were cutting a knife, and stared at Su Qinglin in front of him for a long time without speaking.
Although Ye Linchen didn't speak, his previous words caused a lot of commotion among the soldiers guarding the city. They never thought that the Hou Ye, who was usually high on the top of the clouds, would be a rare nobleman standing at the gate of this city today, with his head bowed and his waist hooked, and even his waist was more bent than them.
This made some of them bold ignore the existence of King Ding and the servants to remove the beard that covered Su Qinglin's face.
"Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated, what does Your Highness mean by this now." Su Qinglin glanced at the soldiers guarding the city, took a step back and looked at Ye Linchen and scolded angrily.
Hearing this, Ye Linchen sank the curtain and let out a laugh from his throat, "Yes, you and I have no grievances... It turns out that Master Suhou has forgotten everything......"
Su Qinglin did not answer. He knew very well that His Royal Highness the King was still haunted by the old case back then. It's a pity that if he hadn't wanted to investigate the case in depth, he wouldn't have ended up being degraded to the border for many years by Emperor Li, who was furious. Even if he comes back now, how can a prince who has no connections in the court participate in the succession? In fact, if he hadn't studied the case in depth, maybe it would have been a different scene in the court now.
However, it is not impossible to let this king of Ding cause some trouble for King Shou. Su Qinglin couldn't help but come up with a bold idea while looking at Ye Linchen, this idea is not bad.
"Su is really sorry for Your Highness's cold reception for so many years, if Your Highness ......" Looking at Ye Linchen with regret, Su Qinglin sighed, "If Your Majesty was discovered earlier, it would not be like this." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ye Lin was not moved by Su Qinglin's words in the slightest, and he still looked at him coldly.
Now the commotion at the gates naturally attracted the attention of the leaders of the soldiers guarding the gates. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw that his soldiers actually wanted to see who the escorted prisoner was in front of His Royal Highness King Ding, and he was inevitably a little annoyed. These people were embarrassed and thrown into the eyes of outsiders, and they suppressed their anger and walked to King Ding and bowed.
