As Su Xuanyong's voice sounded, this dispute was over, and the ministers in the palace got up one after another to retire and leave the hall.

The ministers left one after another, and soon disappeared from sight.

Leaving the Imperial City is the beginning of the ministers' deliberations, and in the Imperial City, they all have to follow a rule.

It is forbidden to talk to each other in the imperial city, which is a taboo for His Majesty.

Only when they go out of the city, the courtiers who know each other well will make an appointment with each other and communicate in a specific place.

And Su Xuanyong also knew this, but he didn't stop it, as long as it wasn't too much, he mostly turned a blind eye.

This seems to be a bit self-deceptive and contradictory, and this is precisely caused by Su Xuanyong's suspicious and tangled character.

As the Son of Heaven, it is absolutely impossible to trust and reuse his courtiers 100%, so he can only pull and fight.

Let these courtiers understand at any time that the imperial authority is strictly inviolable, and their hearts must be tense at any time.

Just like the scene just now when Zheng Yuan and the three of them crashed headlong into Panlongzhu, Su Xuanyong could of course see that the three of them were deliberately acting to show their loyalty.

But he couldn't pierce it, and he couldn't let the three of them really die on the main hall.

The balance of the political situation in the court cannot be broken, and for so many years, the balance of the court has always been Su Xuanyong's top priority.

At any time, you can't take sides of one side, everything is for the sake of the stability of the imperial power.

As for whether the three princes really have a connection with the local state pastor, it doesn't matter, just find an opportunity to knock it out in the future.

As for Su Qi'an, such a big incident in Xizhou City still made Su Xuanyong feel uncomfortable, and he had to find an opportunity to knock and knock.

After all, what Su Xuanyong wants is a child of the royal family who can control and devote himself to the royal family, not a marquis who is uncontrolled and reckless.

At this time, on a carriage leading to the Hanlin Academy, Chu Xiong and Wen Xuan sat opposite each other.

Chu Xiong is okay, Wen Xuan's face is a little ugly, although he had expected it, but he still didn't expect that His Majesty finally revealed Chu Xiong's almost definite guilt in a way that was in a muddy way.

Now he can somewhat understand why Su Qi'an was reluctant to stay in Kyoto.

Indeed, when you meet this majesty, even if it is a big thing, as long as it does not touch the imperial authority, anything can be turned into a big thing and a small thing.

What Wen Xuan was thinking, Chu Xiong knew it, and he was relieved, "Master Wen, I didn't think that this matter could bring down Zheng Guogong and them, even if there is ironclad evidence, our majesty will not do what we want."

"I want to open up, you have also been by His Majesty's side for many years, and you don't know His Majesty's temperament, as long as you can ensure the stability of Da Liang and the stability of the royal family, nothing big is a big deal."

"Although they didn't bring down Zheng Guogong and them, it was not without a little gain, at least it reminded them that some things should not be done too much, otherwise they will harm themselves sooner or later."

"And Your Majesty didn't make an order in person, it's also a victory for us, in Your Majesty's heart, Dongshan Hou is still valuable, and the weight is still very heavy, if you want to get rid of him easily, it's not so easy."

Listening to Chu Xiong's relief, Wen Xuan felt a little better in his heart, and he sighed, "Hey, my poor student, it's really a lot of disasters, but Sage Yun, if you want to achieve great things, you must temper your will, muscles, and understand the truth, but if it really happens, you will still be worried."

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't died early, I'm afraid that my heir wouldn't have been like this."

Chu Xiong nodded, glanced outside the car curtain, and said softly, "Master, it's better to say less about these words, you know better than me, don't worry, Dongshan Hou has also come out of the cold door step by step, the old man believes that he will definitely make a comeback, what we can do is to do our best in the court and clear some black hands for him."

Wen Xuan calmed down, nodded and suddenly smiled, "Chu Zaifu, during this time, you and I have been so close, so I am not afraid of Your Majesty's blame."

Chu Xiong didn't care and shook his head, looking free and easy. "Anyway, the old man is almost at the end of his career, and if he can keep a rare talent before he is a teacher, what is it if he loses something."

"And with Your Majesty's shrewdness, you can already guess how many courtiers in the court are not in touch? The old man's position, they have been staring at it."

"It's just right, before you retreat, give them a surprise and let them know that Zaisuke's position is not so easy to do."

Speaking of this, Chu Xiong's face showed a little cunning, Wen Xuanming said with a smile.

"It is worthy of being an old fox in officialdom, admire and admire."

Inside the carriage, bursts of laughter rang out.

At the same time, in the private room of a restaurant in Kyoto City, Zheng, Zhao, and Chen were all present.

This private room is heavily guarded, and there is a back door in the private room, so even if something happens to the outside world, you can leave as soon as possible, which is quite safe.

The three of them sat down, and Chen Guogong, who was the first to speak, praised Zheng Guogong's previous performance in the palace, and after some boasting, Zheng Guogong waved his hand and suddenly said.

"The three of us were able to unanimously show the outside world, all of which were due to the two highnesses, but the old man said first, to deal with Su Qi'an, our goal is the same, don't hide it, otherwise it will not be good for everyone."

Zheng Yuan's words were obviously in his words, and they were aimed at Chen Guogong.

Chen Guogong's face changed slightly, but he was also ranked as a first-class Guogong, and in terms of level, he was the same as Zheng Yuan, but he was in charge of some court affairs, which was just worse.

But it was definitely not Zheng Yuan's subordinate, he said directly, "Zheng Guogong, what do you mean? Something to say."

Zheng Yuan said with a smile, "Hey, the old man doesn't mean anything else, he just wants to remind Chen Guogong, I heard that Chen Dao in your family has received some of Su Qi'an's kindness, Chen Guogong still has to be disciplined, if something goes wrong in the end, it has nothing to do with us."

Chen Guogong's eyes flashed, he underestimated Zheng Yuan a little, Chen Zhi was in the northern battlefield, the defense of Kyoto, and he was indeed taken care of by Su Qi'an.

But it was just a normal personnel transfer, which was not a big deal, but it could still reach Zheng Yuan's ears, which was enough to see that Zheng Yuan's intelligence work in Kyoto should not be underestimated.

Chen Guogong was not false at all, and said directly, "My son's affairs, the old man has his own arrangements, so there is no need for Zheng Guogong to worry about it."

"Yes, that's the old man's worries, after all, think about it, there are so many powerful marquis, only Chen Zhi can survive, Chen Guogong still has to take care of it, don't let something happen at that time, like us, there is only regret."

Zheng Yuan's words directly made Chen Guogong's face change, and the wine glass in his hand was smashed by him, and he got up suddenly.

looked at Zheng Yuan viciously, his mouth trembled, but he didn't say anything irrational, he was silent for a while, and directly dropped the word goodbye, and turned to leave.

Zhao Guogong next to him wanted to pull it, but he couldn't pull it.

Turning around, Zhao Guogong looked at Zheng Yuan, and said with a puzzled face, "Lao Zheng, are you crazy, Chen Guogong has no grievances with you, you curse like this, didn't you push him away, if he stands on Wen Xuan and Chu Xiong's side, I see if you are crying or laughing."

Zhao Guogong had anger on his face, although Chen Guogong could not be compared with Zheng Yuan, Chu Xiong, and him in court politics, but he was one of the four first-class princes.

The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and he is still a member of the Four Princes, if he turns back, it will definitely be a huge blow to them.

He didn't understand very much, Zheng Yuan, who had always been mind-blowing, what happened today, what kind of crazy he was.

Zheng Yuan's face was calm, he looked at Zhao Guogong, waited until he finished his temper, and said.

"Do you think this is the old man's madness? The old man doesn't know the weight of Chen Guogong?"

"And what are you?"

"This is a decision between the second prince and the fourth prince."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Guogong's face changed greatly, and he couldn't believe it.

In the imperial court, Yipingong's status is the most noble, but there are only four people.

The four of them are naturally the objects of strong co-optation by several princes, and after so many years.

Except for Chuxiong, Zheng Yuan is the person of the second prince, and Chen Guogong is the person of the fourth prince.

And he was also four at first

The prince's people, but with Zhao Ang's death, he made a deal with Zheng Yuan.

As long as Su Qi'an is dead, he will definitely do his best to help the second prince, and now he is a double agent, but for now, he still favors the fourth prince more.

Originally, the two princes were like fire and water, with the help of the three of them, the two sides did not completely suppress each other, from this point of view, you can know how much weight a first-class prince has.

And now, because of the appearance of Su Qi'an, the two princes temporarily reconciled and began to cooperate.

But at this juncture, Zheng Yuan directly turned his face to Chen Guogong, saying that he had received orders from the two princes.

It is enough to make the two princes abandon Chen Guogong without hesitation, which is enough to illustrate one point.

Zhao Guogong quickly thought of something, and he said in a tone of disbelief.

"Could it be that the two princes suspect that Chen Guogong and Su Qi'an have a deal?"

Zheng Yuan nodded, and said in a cold voice, "If there is no deal, why did more than ten powerful marquis go to it, only Chen Zhi came back, and during the defense of Kyoto, our Chen Guogong did not contribute the slightest force, isn't it strange?"

"Therefore, in line with the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than letting go of one, Chen Guogong has no value and must be abandoned."

Although he can understand it, Zhao Guogong said, "Then it must be so stiff, there are many ways to get rid of him."

Zheng Yuan sneered, "Hmph, Lao Zhao, do you really think that Chen Guogong still has a time to fight back? Hehe, don't forget, after the Battle of Kyoto, I also need an explanation to the people of Kyoto."

"This matter has been decided by the two Highnesses, so let's wait and see."

Zhao Guogong instantly understood, and nodded again and again, "High, really high!"

Zheng Yuan and Zhao Guogong discussed in the private room, and after about an hour, they also came to a conclusion on how to deal with the matter of Xizhou Mu.

agreed to Xizhou Mu's request for reinforcements, but only 10,000 Xizhou soldiers were dispatched, and they were led by Liu Xin, the deputy commander of the forbidden army.

After arriving at Xishu Castle, meet with the Higashiyama Marquis as soon as possible, and bring the Higashiyama Marquis back to Kyoto as quickly as possible.

It was this decree that made both sides feel intriguing and needed to be thought about carefully.
