Su Qi'an left Kyoto for half a year, and he knew why Su Zhe and Su Tai dared to be so tough.

In just half a year, all the officials in the entire Kyoto have basically been encircled by the two kings, and they can be regarded as completely dividing the line.

Even some of the following families also took the initiative to cling to it, which was forced by the situation, and within half a year, those who wanted to remain neutral and wanted to wait and see were either suppressed inexplicably, or were confiscated and exiled because they were found guilty of corruption.

Now in Kyoto, in addition to the central imperial city, the rest of the officials and families of Kyoto have belonged to the heads of the two factions of Su Zhe and Su Tai.

Among these people, the most powerful ones belong to the three princes, Su Zhe's faction, headed by Zheng Yuan, and Su Tai's faction, which is supported by Zhao Cheng and Sima Yue, and the remaining ten or so second-grade princes, together with the six departments of the central government, are basically in half and stand in line respectively.

This kind of standing in line has not happened before, but it will definitely not be like now, openly dividing factions, which is tantamount to not taking Su Xuanyong in his eyes!

Su Xuanyong is still the Emperor of Da Liang, and he has not died yet, and his two princes and heirs have such serious infighting in Kyoto that they almost didn't tear their faces publicly.

The greater the power of the two kings, it is not good for Su Xuanyong, if he is allowed to develop, when he can't control it, he won't directly force the palace.

It is impossible for Su Xuanyong not to know this problem, but what he did did did have a feeling of turning a blind eye and letting go, and even had the mood to take people to the Xishan Palace to hunt and play, what happened in the past half a year?

Su Qi'an looked at the stacks of information on the table, all of which were collected by Sun Wen and Liu Meng, and sent to the Hou Mansion by Xu Tangtang in the name of delivering food.

This way of transmitting news began to be implemented when Su Qi'an had his own Hou Mansion, even if Su Qi'an left Kyoto for half a year, Xu Tangtang would regularly deliver food.

Over time, even if Kyoto Eyeliner wanted to detect anything, it couldn't find anything.

Hearing the news of Su Qi'an's return to Beijing, Sun Wen and Liu Meng were very happy, but because of their identities, they couldn't rashly come to the Hou Mansion to meet Su Qi'an.

can only let Xu Tangtang replace them and say hello to Su Qi'an, after Xu Tangtang handed over the collected information to Su Qi'an, he sat on a chair very interestingly and did not open his mouth to disturb Su Qi'an.

Most of these collected information are relatively superficial, as long as they make efforts to investigate, they can basically know, but if you want to go further and know the changes in the imperial city, you have to ask insiders, such as Master Wenxuan.

One of the two things that Su Qi'an did when he returned to the Hou Mansion was to send someone to invite Wen Xuan into the Hou Mansion to talk about it, which was public, and Su Qi'an was not worried about his actions, whether he would be monitored by Su Zhe and Su Tai.

From Su Tai's vague reminder to him, he knew that there was no need to hide the relationship with Wenxuan, and he didn't want to cause too much trouble at the beginning.

But now, he is the personal transmission of Wenxuan, and he is a waiter, coupled with the pacification of the war in Dongzhou, all kinds of merits and identities, it doesn't matter what trouble it will cause.

Even Su Zhe and Su Tai dared to openly win over the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, the family, he was a first-class marquis, what was he afraid of.

While waiting for the arrival of the announcement, Su Qi'an finally read the intelligence clues in his hand one by one, and he sighed a little that he could be in the urgent situation now.

Sun Wen and Liu Meng can also basically control the intelligence sites on the periphery of Kyoto, which is really endless, Su Qi'an knows that with the struggle between the two kings in Kyoto, it has gradually developed from a secret struggle to an open fight.

The top ten streets outside Kyoto are estimated to be gradually forced to stand in line by their subordinate families, as long as they survive in Kyoto, even if they are a small businessman, they don't want to remain neutral and watch the show.

Once the power is extended, the welcome building of the two will inevitably bear the brunt, in order to ensure the safety of the two, Su Qi'an has to think about their future.

Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, he was silent for a while, as if he had made up some kind of determination, and waved to Xu Tangtang, who looked at him silently without saying a word.

Xu Tangtang jumped over, and Su Qi'an said softly, "Tangtang, after you go back, you will say that it is my order, within a month, the Yingbin Building will be sold, the stations will be transferred from the ground to the underground, all the intelligence personnel will be reduced to zero, the intelligence network will be silent for the time being, and the intelligence personnel who can be active cannot exceed two percent, and every exchange of information must be one-line contact." ”

Although Xu Tangtang is still young, only about fourteen years old, he has been following Sun Wen and Liu Meng to pass on information for so long, not to say that he is top-notch, but at least he is a veteran, and he still has his judgment on the current situation in Kyoto.

Although she had already prepared for the worst in her heart, Su Qi'an's order this time still surprised her.

The two kings competed, they knew that it was powerful, but it would not affect the periphery of Kyoto for a while and a half, even if it did, she could understand if it was sold, but if all the intelligence sites were transferred underground, the personnel were scattered, and the one-line contact was made, would this be a little too cautious?

The battle between the two kings, even if it spreads to the periphery, it will not be used to attack them.

On the periphery, there are businessmen as big as the Yingbin Building, not only one of them, they can count it on both hands, even if they are targeted, they can also take advantage of the situation to surrender, no matter which side they submit, it is not more helpful for them to collect all kinds of intelligence.

The most important thing is that from the establishment of the intelligence site to the operation for so long, there has been no connection between them and Su Qi'an at all, if it was really discovered, with the character of the two kings, they would have been taken down a long time ago, how could it be possible to tolerate and acquiesce to their continued survival.

Obviously, it was opened well, but Su Qi'an directly asked for it to be shut down, and he also moved underground, and all the personnel were scattered, which can indeed ensure that the intelligence network is not destroyed, but the efficiency of intelligence collection is definitely greatly reduced.

When Su Qi'an returned to Beijing this time, they were still thinking about whether they were going to do a lot of work and collect more useful information for him.

can be shut down directly, Xu Tangtang is a little incomprehensible.

Looking at Xu Tangtang's puzzled expression, Su Qi'an said seriously, "Tangtang, I know you don't understand, and you will think that I am too cautious, but you underestimate the infighting between the two kings, since you dare to make it public, you are ready to tear your face one day." ”

"What His Majesty thinks today, even I don't know, I always feel that this is not as simple as imagined, the succession of successive generations involves imperial power, the scope of influence is huge, and the whole Kyoto will definitely be chaotic."

"Therefore, in order not to destroy the intelligence network, and also to ensure your safety, this time, we will back down first, temporarily show weakness, and when everything passes, there will always be a time to start again, so, even if you don't understand, I hope you can implement it."

Seeing Su Qi'an's serious face, Xu Tangtang also knew the seriousness of the matter, she didn't say anything more, nodded heavily, and said softly.

"Sir, I know, I will convey your order, and I will not disappoint you."

"Go, go, remember that after the personnel are transferred, I will say hello to the master, and the three of you will stay in the Hanlin Academy, if you have any contact, just inform the master."

Xu Tangtang nodded heavily, and then walked out of the side door of the Hou Mansion with the direct team members who made up and delivered the food.

Su Qi'an stood up, walked out of the room, and stood on a stone platform, in front of him was a pond, and the fish in the pond swam happily, but Su Qi'an's face was a little dignified.

He looked back at the front and muttered, "I hope my prediction is that I am overly worried, and I hope that Kyoto will be as stable as it is now." ”

As soon as Xu Tangtang walked on the front foot, there was a notice of the arrival of Wenxuan on the back foot.

Su Qi'an nodded, and then strode around the pond and came to a pavilion, where Wen Xuan was standing at this time.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Wen Xuan turned around, looked at the familiar figure, with a smile on his face, and hurried to greet him.

"Tut-tut, Qi An, I didn't expect you to really come back, and really pacified the war in Dongzhou, it's really amazing, I didn't disappoint the old man."

"The teacher laughed, it can be so smoothly pacified, it can be regarded as the right time and place, and the students just follow the trend."

After a brief conversation between the two, they sat down in the pavilion, Wen Xuan looked at Su Qi'an, he knew that to solve the mess in Dongzhou, Su Qi'an must have put a lot of thought into it in the past six months, and it was definitely not as easy as the outside world said.

The news of Su Qi'an's early return to Beijing was basically impossible to hide, and he did not deliberately conceal it, even the people in the city spread the news one after another.

can let the people in the city know that most of them are behind the two princes.

When the two met, there was not much gossip, so Su Qi'an went straight to the point, asking about the changes in the imperial city in half a year, and what Su Tai had done to the Hanlin Academy.

Wen Xuan had expected these for a long time, and then told them one by one, and after Wen Xuan's narration, Su Qi'an understood why the two kings dared to fight openly in Kyoto, everything was Su Xuanyong's connivance.

Less than a month after Su Qi'an left Kyoto and set off for Dongzhou, Su Xuanyong somehow changed the checks and balances on the two kings in the past, and instead handed over some things, the two kings below, to the two kings to deal with.

Nominally, he is sharing worries for Su Xuanyong, but in fact, he has some decentralization, and some major military affairs that have been delegated, the two kings have done quite well, and there are not many insiders.

Even if it is found that he is implicated, he is ruthless with an iron face, he should be dealt with, and he should be punished, it is the iron-faced ruthlessness of the two kings that has won Su Xuanyong's favor.

Therefore, in the back, he began to slowly transfer some military affairs one after another, and Su Xuanyong was behind the scenes, only responsible for reviewing what the two of them did, and with some free time, he began to play and relax.

As for Su Tai's embarrassment of the Hanlin Academy, in fact, it is not a big deal, but he wants to get the support of Wenxuan.

Although the Hanlin Academy does not have great power, it has a very high prestige, and it is a holy place in the hearts of the whole world, and if it is supported by the Hanlin Academy, it is tantamount to greatly increasing its prestige.

This advantage is of great help to seize the throne, but Wenxuan has always remained neutral and has not taken sides, which makes Su Tai a little resentful.

But because of the status of the Hanlin Academy, even Su Tai is not easy to tear his face, so he can only pour dirty water on the Hanlin Academy from time to time in the court to discuss politics, these documents and propaganda are used to it, as long as Su Xuanyong reigns for a day, these are not a big deal.
