Chapter 504: Changes in the Court
Su Qi'an's convoy followed the soldiers of the capital city to move forward slowly, and the lively market in front of them had already vacated a place in advance for them to pass.
The lively bazaar, as Su Qi'an walked through, gradually fell silent, everyone's eyes flashed, and they looked at the carriage that Su Qi'an was riding.
I want to see the face of this famous Dongshan Marquis, but unfortunately, there is the protection of the accompanying army.
The people in the bazaar could only watch from afar, and finally watched Su Qi'an leave with regret.
After Su Qi'an left, a bunch of discussions sounded one after another.
"In the carriage, are you sure it's Dongshan Hou? Why don't I feel like it? ”
"Hey, what do you know, don't talk nonsense if you don't know, he looks at who is walking with him? That's Lingdong Hou, you can let Lingdong Hou accompany you, and it must be Dongshan Hou in the car. ”
"That's right, Dongshan Hou and Lingdong Hou are close friends, this time, Dongshan Hou is 100% back, tsk, in this situation, Dongshan Hou can come back, Kyoto is afraid that it will not stop again."
"It's not, but these things have nothing to do with us, let's keep quiet, so as not to suffer, let's just see."
This sentence was supported by the people around him, and as Su Qi'an disappeared from sight, the discussion about him dissipated with him.
The quiet bazaar, after a while, will be lively again.
Leaving the bazaar, there is the Kyoto City Gate in front, Su Qi'an's entry into the city, led by the soldiers of the capital, did not hinder him, and he entered the city directly.
Even after entering the city, along the way, they would be whispered by passers-by, but no one dared to come forward and say anything.
They all retreated, for fear of being affected, Su Qi'an's convoy did not stop, and walked straight towards the capital, passing through the ten major streets on the periphery, and came to the central area where the powerful and powerful princes lived.
Entering this area, the noise outside the carriage is naturally much smaller, and some of them are the butlers, entourage, and guards in the mansions of the major powers.
These people, at the very least, have been specially trained and know that when they meet certain people, they still know some rules.
Even if they passed by Su Qi'an's convoy and knew that it was Su Qi'an sitting in the car, they didn't say much from beginning to end, they all lowered their heads and signaled to go first.
At most, it is to wait for the convoy to go away, look at the departing convoy, and there will be a little shock on his face, and finally quietly return home under the leadership of the leader.
Su Qi'an, who entered Kyoto City, according to the arrangement, will be in the middle area of Kyoto City, specially for the foreign Bohou to rest in the other garden.
The carriage stopped in front of a villa, and Su Qi'an said hello to Feng Zheng and turned to get out of the car.
Through the curtain of the car, Feng Zheng nodded at Su Qi'an, and said softly, "Master Hou, you just stay here for a few days, our family will go back to restore your life, and see you in the imperial city then, and our family will say goodbye." ”
"Farewell!" Su Qi'an nodded with his hand, and after seeing Feng Zheng leave, his eyes looked at the other garden in front of him.
This annex occupies a large area, just like a mansion, and according to the rules, Xie Cang should live in other annexes.
But Xie Cang didn't pick, rejected the kindness of the soldiers in the capital, and chose to live with Su Qi'an.
This villa is big enough, and everyone walks in, as far as the eye can see, it can accommodate hundreds of people, which is more than enough.
Su Qi'an and Xie Cang took their respective henchmen and entered the other garden, and the rest of the soldiers stayed outside and scattered to surround the other garden and be on guard.
Although the place where the powerful people live in Kyoto is not as noisy and lively as the ten outer streets, there are a lot of eyeliners.
Especially when I learned that Su Qi'an had returned to Beijing and had already entered Kyoto and stayed.
The eyeliner of the powerful people of the major families has been completely mobilized, and it can be said that they have never been so active now.
Outside the villa where Su Qi'an lived, countless pairs of eyes stared at each other, and it was no exaggeration to say that even a fly would not want to fly in under his nose.
Under their continuous surveillance, in less than half a day, there was really a big discovery.
Su Qi'an entered the other garden, only stayed for an hour or two, and then walked out of the other garden with Xie Cang, got into the prepared carriage and left.
There was no escort around this carriage, only a coachman, and their whereabouts were undisguised and open.
Under the watchful eye liner, the carriage carrying Su Qi'an and Xie Cang went directly into the Hanlin Courtyard in the capital.
This discovery was regarded as a great event by eyeliner.
Everyone knows the relationship between Su Qi'an and the Hanlin Academy, and the master of the Hanlin Academy even accepted Su Qi'an as his personal heir, and everyone in Kyoto City knows this.
This relationship, if it is placed in normal times, is definitely a talisman, but right now, what Su Qi'an has done outside has been spread in Kyoto.
In the court, there was even a great tendency to severely punish Su Qi'an.
At this time, when he returned to Beijing, he didn't want to keep a low profile and think about how to face the next round of impeachments against him.
Instead, he went to the Hanlin Academy, which was very suspicious of collusion.
Your Majesty today, what he hates the most is the collusion between ministers, even if Su Qi'an is a student of the master, but now he is a marquis.
With such an identity, it is impossible to clear the suspicion of collusion with friends, especially with Lingdong Hou, this is not a naked death.
Su Qi'an's move, the eyeliners couldn't understand, with their understanding of Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an would not do such a stupid thing at all.
But since he has done it, either he will break the jar or break it, or he will have to discuss something big with the master, otherwise, they really can't think of a third answer.
Either way, it's all eyeliner that should be considered, and the top priority is to send the news back.
About a quarter of an hour later, the patriarchs of the major families in Kyoto received the news of Su Qi'an's visit to the Hanlin Academy.
The patriarchs of the major families also flashed their eyes and were quite puzzled, but they didn't do anything, just watched quietly.
Between them and Su Qi'an, there is no talk of life and death enemies, only small grievances, and even those big people in Kyoto City have not made a move, so they will naturally not be in a hurry.
Some family patriarchs are still very calm, knowing how to brake quietly and wait silently, but some are obviously not so peaceful.
As soon as possible, through their respective channels, it is estimated that they will add fuel and vinegar to spread the news of Su Qi'an's visit to Hanlin Academy.
In order to make the noise bigger, the greater this kind of unfavorable momentum for Su Qi'an, the easier it is for Kyoto to fall into chaos, and they will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and make profits.
It's just that this expectation, over time, has disappointed them.
The rumors that Kyoto City was unfavorable to Su Qi'an, like the wind, intensified and swept through Kyoto.
But on the contrary, several big figures who wished that Su Qi'an would die were motionless and did not react at all, as if Su Qi'an had never appeared.
That kind of quiet, it's strange, it's confusing.
When the heads of the major families were puzzled, in the private room of a luxury restaurant in the capital, three old men looked relaxed, drinking tea while looking out the window.
Following their gaze, outside the window were the villas, and the villas where Su Qi'an lived were among them.
After a while, the three old men withdrew their gazes, and one of them spoke, "Old Zhaotou, let the group of families under your command stop a little, the old man knows what you mean, and wants to add fuel to the fire at this juncture, but anything is too much, if it is detected by His Majesty, it will cause unhappiness." ”
Zhao Guogong was stunned, and just as he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by another person beside him.
"Jung Jae-fu, is this matter that serious?"
Although the age of the person who spoke was not much different from them, as far as he asked, it could be seen that this person's officialdom experience was far less than Zheng Yuan's.
This person's name is Sima Yue, who was originally the second rank of the prince of the court, but with the arrival of Chu Xiong, the ascension of Zheng Yuan, and the fall of Chen Guogong, only Zheng Yuan and Zhao Cheng were left in the first rank of the country.
This situation is very unfavorable to the government, so after Chu Xiong became a prince, Su Xuanyong directly promoted one person from the second rank of the prince to the first rank of the prince.
And this lucky person is Sima Yue.
Sima Yue was promoted, and the happiest was the fourth prince Su Tai.
Without the invasion of foreign enemies, Su Qi'an fled Kyoto back then, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and in the past three years, the court has also undergone great changes.
It was completely divided into two factions, led by Zheng Yuan to support the second prince, and Sima Yue to support the fourth prince.
As for Zhao Cheng, who originally stood in line with the four princes and later rebelled against the second prince, he unknowingly became the balance of the game between the two sides.
Finding this, Zhao Cheng's standing in line is a little subtle, and now he is no longer a prince who was only loyal to a prince.
But in front of the two princes, repeatedly swaying, back and forth, if it was the era of the four princes, Zhao Cheng's swaying would definitely not be welcomed.
Even if it is not good, it will be eliminated by the two princes together, but after the fall of Chen Guogong, even if a Sima Yue is promoted in the court, there are only three Yipin Gongs left in the court.
In addition, Su Xuanyong is in power again, and it is quite difficult to find a reason to get rid of Zhao Cheng.
Since it can't be removed, then woo it, therefore, in the past three years, Zhao Cheng has made the greatest profit between the two princes.
never expressed his attitude, but he did not refuse what he asked to do, such a person is a proper panacea, as long as Su Xuanyong is in power for one day, with Zhao Cheng's qualifications, it is basically impossible to fall.
If it weren't for Su Qi'an's comeback, it would be quite difficult to get these three Yipin Gong together if such a big thing happened in Xizhou and Jiaozhou.
Su Qi'an disappeared for three years, and with his return, the experience in the past three years was also picked up by them.
For this comeback Dongshan Marquis, even if they have hatred in their hearts, they have to admit one thing.
Su Qi'an is no longer the little third waiting that he couldn't get into their eyes three years ago, and he could pinch to death at will.
If the three of them don't unite and continue to fight, most of the people who will be killed are them, this is not alarmism, but the judgment of the three of them after learning about almost everything that Su Qi'an has experienced in the past three years.
This Su Qi'an is already qualified to fight with them head-on, if he doesn't take this opportunity to bring him down, it will be difficult to suppress him later.
