Although the war was won, it is clear that there is still much to be done.

The Nanyi rebellion became the last straw that overwhelmed the dispute between the government and the opposition in Dahong, and dealt a fatal blow to the imperial court at the height of the party dispute, and the imperial court almost overturned, and as a result, the party dispute also disappeared. The more sober ministers reined in the precipice, while some who still couldn't think of it were completely marginalized in the purges that followed.

He was subsequently deposed.

The regent seal was withdrawn, the prince was cut off, and he was not allowed to leave the palace. Now Li Zhang is just a prince with no title on his head.

Su Qiang was playing with a sword in the East Palace that day, and a palace attendant came to invite her over, saying that His Majesty wanted to call her over to sit.

His Majesty has been diligent in government recently, although most of the affairs are entrusted to the prince, but it is rare to go to the court. Su Qiang received the will and took the maidservant Xiaoqing to the Qingsu Palace. In addition to Emperor Xuancheng, there is also Concubine Lan in the palace. Seeing Su Qiang coming, Concubine Lan greeted her, shook her hand and said a few words warmly, and then made an excuse to retreat.

There are only Emperor Xuancheng and Su Qiang left in the palace.

Emperor Xuancheng smiled slightly at Su Qiang while drinking the teacup.

"I heard that you're also good at making spring tea?" His voice was gentle.

The one who is good at making spring tea may be the real Su Qiang, not her Cui Wange.

Su Qiang was afraid that saying too much would arouse Emperor Xuancheng's suspicions, so she just said modestly: "I just know a little bit about it, I can't talk about it, and I don't dare to be the word 'good at'." ”

"Oh." Emperor Xuancheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his lips were still gently blowing on the side of the teacup, but his mouth said: "This time to clear the rebellion, I heard that you have made a great contribution." Even the heavy weapons of the Auxiliary Mansion were given to you, didn't they? ”

Heavy weapon, he said that the first emperor gave the military talisman to the Fuguo Mansion, which is also a thorn in Emperor Xuancheng's heart all along. Because of this thorn, he has continuously weakened the Auxiliary Mansions for decades, and he has been looking for opportunities to get rid of the top-notch talents of the Mansions one after another, and cut off the wings of the Mansions.

Such a man, such an emperor, himself married his son.

Su Qiang looked up at him and did not shy away from his gaze: "Yes, the concubine has been handed over to the crown prince." ”

Emperor Xuancheng put the teacup on the table, and his voice contained some inquiry: "Cui Xu knows that if it weren't for ten percent of his trust, he wouldn't give that thing to others." Every time I think about it these days, I feel curious. Can you tell me what the reason is. ”

After walking through the ice and fire, can't you change your suspicion?

Su Qiang stood up and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "What does Your Majesty mean?" Does it mean that the concubines or the East Palace colluded with the Fuguo Mansion to take advantage of the crisis of the country to win people's hearts? ”

Emperor Xuancheng was startled and did not say anything.

Su Qiang said again: "Your Majesty was on the city wall that day, and the city was full of enemy troops, and Your Majesty said that he should issue an edict against himself, and it has only been a few days, has Your Majesty forgotten?" ”

No one ever refuted him like this, and Emperor Xuancheng was stunned.

"The reason why the Guogong Mansion gave me the talisman is naturally because I, like them, have a heart for Dahong and will not take the opportunity to plot a rebellion. And Your Majesty, you have been in charge of the country for decades, can't you see their sincerity? ”

Emperor Xuancheng stood up suddenly, but his lips moved, and he didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty," Su Qiang's voice slowed down and softened a lot: "Probably you don't know yet, because of your suspicions, the dignitaries in the Coalition Army killed Cui Xu's daughter. If you continue like this, the concubine doesn't know what kind of disaster Dahiro will have. ”

Emperor Xuancheng looked at his daughter-in-law who stood up and accused him, slowly sat back in his place, and said dejectedly: "You kid is really, I just said that, and you scolded me for a long time." It's up to you to do the imperial history. ”

Su Qiang's face softened at this time, she sat down, pouted, and said, "The imperial history is all to be scolded, I don't deserve it." ”

"Okay, okay," Emperor Xuancheng raised his hand and ordered someone to arrange the dim sum: "I have something to ask you, the rebel son Li Zhang and the island Zheng Shuwei, what do you think should be done properly?" ”
