Compared with Su Tai splashing dirty water on himself from time to time, Wenxuan is most worried about Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an returned to Beijing ahead of schedule and was cut off, arranged a pick-up to wash the dust, and took advantage of the situation to see the strength of the two princes in the court.

Su Qi'an and Wen Xuan looked at each other, and they didn't need to open their mouths to guess his thoughts, Su Qi'an said softly.

"When I returned to Beijing this time, I thought that the two princes would be targeted, but it was delicious and delicious, respectful, as the saying goes, there must be demons when it is abnormal, I think most of them will be at the celebration banquet, and they will set me up."

Wen Xuan nodded slightly, and said with a calm face, "You guessed right, it's just that this time it's not aimed at, it seems that I want you to be added to the rank and knighthood, and go further." ”

Hearing this, Su Qi'an showed a playful look on his face, but he was not too shocked, and he was prepared.

From the day's reception and dust, to the salute later, it can be seen that Su Zhe and Su Tai's attitude towards him is obviously different from last time.

But Su Qi'an didn't believe it at all, these two people would change their minds, be kind to him, respect, be able to be kings, and be dignified, what they are best at is to play with people's hearts and engage in power schemes, if they were really kind little white rabbits, they would have been eaten a long time ago and there were no bones left.

"Does the teacher know what they are doing here?" Su Qi'an asked.

Wen Xuan shook his head, and then said, "I only know that they want to push you to the position of the Duke of the Kingdom and make you a duke, as for why this is so, I'm afraid only a few of them know." ”

Su Qi'an raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Tut-tut, duke, if this is an ordinary person, most of them will not be able to control it, and they will be extremely excited." ”

"Being a feudal prince, regardless of status and power, is second only to the emperor and the second king in Daliang, which can be described as a real high power."

"Even if it is a second-rank prince, it is enough to be on an equal footing with the feudal officials such as the local state minister, it is really a very human minister, and the two princes really look up to me."

Su Qi'an shook his head with a smile, and then changed his words, "But if you are made a prince, you will enter the cabinet, and after entering the cabinet, many things will not be as convenient as the military marquis, to put it bluntly, you will be monitored by Zheng Yuan." ”

"In front of Zhishi, Chu Lao promoted the status of the second rank of the public, and originally wanted to check and balance the power of Zaifu, but now it seems that he can check and balance for a while, but he can't check and balance the prince who has greater power behind him."

"If I really enter the cabinet, I'm afraid that not only will everything have to be reported, but also be monitored at any time, especially if a war breaks out, I'm afraid that every strategy and tactic I do will have to be seen by the people above, which is not a good thing for students."

Wen Xuan nodded slightly, and also realized the seriousness of the matter, if he really wanted to become a second-rank prince as Su Qi'an said, and enter the cabinet, let alone lead troops to fight, he wanted to leave Kyoto, it was not so casual.

Wen Xuan's eyes flashed, he was silent for a while, and then looked at Su Qi'an and said, "I really want to avoid Feng Guogong, it's not that there is no way, it depends on whether you dare to be arrogant again." ”

Su Qi'an listened to Wen Xuan's sudden words, and laughed, "Haha, it's not that the teacher doesn't understand the students, isn't it just arrogant, as long as you can resolve this push, don't say arrogant, even if it is a big celebration banquet, it is a trivial matter." ”

Wen Xuan smiled and nodded, and then whispered, After about a moment, Su Qi'an leaned forward and sat up straight, and then said.

"Tut-tut, the student really underestimated the teacher, since this is the case, let's make a good fuss at the celebration banquet."

"By the way, teacher, the students have one more thing to ask for..."

Without waiting for Su Qi'an to finish speaking, Wen Xuan took over the words and said, "It's about Tangtang and a few of them." ”

Su Qi'an nodded.

"Don't worry, the three of you, the old man will take care of it for you, what do you want to do, just let it go, and take advantage of the wind and rain to come."

Su Qi'an smiled and looked at Wen Xuan and said, "Teacher, what's wrong with Your Majesty, how can there be such a big change in half a year, which makes students a little incomprehensible." ”

Wen Xuan's expression was calm, and he said, "Our Majesty, if you say a rebellious word, you are really not a master of great talent, I don't know what kind of cooperation or transaction there is between you and Your Majesty, but there is a sentence that the teacher wants to remind you, leave a way back for yourself in everything, especially in the face of Your Majesty, if nothing else, at least you must have the ability to protect yourself." ”

Wenxuan's words, so far, Su Qi'an naturally understands that several emperors of previous dynasties are real heroes!

It is great that a dynasty can produce one or two, in Su Xuanyong, Su Qi'an can't see the so-called eloquent strategy, that is, in the first few years of his accession to the throne, he was a little motivated.

But later, the crown prince Suning died of an unexpected illness, so he collapsed, even if he finally met Su Qi'an, he had an open and honest heart-to-heart relationship, and he barely regained a little ambition.

But with the war in the four directions, it gradually calmed down, and the internal began to stabilize, and the previous eagerness gradually calmed down, and some indulgence began.

After returning to Beijing, these Su Qi'an talked with Su Zhe, Su Tai, Wenxuan and other high-level officials, and basically had a general understanding after looking at the information collected in their hands.

Su Xuanyong is changing now, Su Qi'an doesn't plan to advise, he is not a loyal minister, as long as Su Xuanyong can maintain trust in him and continue to support the Ten Princes as his own responsibility, other things are easy to say.

Once Su Xuanyong changed his mind and there were other changes, Su Qi'an would definitely find a way out for himself, and let Sun Wen, Liu Meng, and Xu Tangtang shut down the huge intelligence network established on the periphery of Kyoto, which was the first step for him to start retreating and escape from the whirlpool of Kyoto.

As for how to look at it later, it depends on how the next celebration banquet goes.

Wen Xuan stayed in Su Qi'an's Hou Mansion for half an hour, then left the Hou Mansion, left through the gate, got into the carriage, and returned all the way back to the Hanlin Courtyard.

I don't worry about the two kings' eyeliner that exists in the outside world, some things can't be hidden, since this is the case, there is no need to hide it, just show it generously.

Since the two kings of the court and China are inextricably linked, Su Qi'an, as one of the most important military princes of Daliang, still intends to maintain his neutral position.

I just want to see what I want to do to him in front of His Majesty and officials in Kyoto.

The news of Su Qi'an's return to Beijing soon spread throughout Kyoto, which naturally caused many people to rush to the Hou Mansion one after another, wanting to see the true face.

It's just that this time, to disappoint many people, Su Qi'an returned to the Hou Mansion, and around the mansion, he made sufficient preparations, and ordinary people couldn't see Su Qi'an at all.

The external reason is very sufficient, the journey is tiring, and you need to have a good rest, this kind of rhetoric, the people who heard it, are a little helpless, but they can only scatter away.

Compared with not seeing Su Qi'an's true face, they are more interested in Su Qi'an's governance in Dongzhou for half a year, although there is no first-hand news, but some hearsay is coming one after another.

All kinds of news are flying all over Kyoto, and the discussion of the people, strange things, Kyoto officials, big and small, have not stopped it, but have a feeling of adding fuel to the fire, and in the end, they all attributed the credit for pacifying Dongzhou to Su Qi'an alone.

At this time, Su Qi'an's fame and prestige have reached a new level, and Su Qi'an, who stayed in the Hou Mansion, did not express any opinion from beginning to end, just watched silently.

With the passage of time, six or seven days passed, and the army led by Xie Cang, who had returned from Lulu, finally arrived in Kyoto.

According to the old rules, the troops returning to Beijing were all stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and Xie Cang led more than 100 personal guards to quickly enter Beijing.

There was no stop along the way, and he went straight to the Hou Mansion of Dongshan, under the gaze of many eyes, Xie Cang entered the Hou Mansion, not only that, but until the evening, Xie Cang did not come out of the Hou Mansion.

Previously, some rumors about Su Qi'an not returning to Beijing were self-defeating at this moment.

With Xie Cang's return to Beijing, in the imperial city, news came that night that a celebration banquet was going to be held for the two marquis.

Two days before Xie Cang returned to Beijing, Su Xuanyong, who was hunting and playing in Xishan Palace, also returned to the imperial city.

During this period, Su Qi'an was not summoned, but a holy decree was issued, "In view of the tiring journey of Dongshan Hou and the rest of his life, the imperial city will be exempted from asking for peace in the past few days." ”

Now it seems that the promulgation of this holy decree is mostly to wait for the return of the army led by the Marquis of Lingdong, so as to celebrate the achievements of the two military marquis.

When night fell, about an hour or so later, the closed gate of the Dongshan Hou Mansion opened, and Su Qi'an and Xie Cang appeared, dressed in white, looking like a noble son, heroic, the two did not stop, and got into the carriage directly.

The carriage galloped and headed straight for the Imperial City.

At this time, the imperial city is brightly lit, even outside the city, you can feel the lively atmosphere in the imperial city, and that feeling can only be compared on the day of the New Year.

It can be seen that this celebration banquet was done with thought, and the galloping carriage galloped on the official road, all the way unimpeded, and soon arrived at the imperial city.

Under the escort of the forbidden army, the carriage stopped for a moment and continued to move forward, which was already a great honor to be able to drive in the imperial city.

Moreover, the forbidden army escorted this time was led by no one else, it was Han Qing, the commander of the forbidden army.

Although there were some conflicts between the two before, this time Han Qing greeted each other with a smile all the way, without the slightest arrogance before, as if the unhappiness of the day did not exist at all.

That's no different from groveling, I know that he is the commander of the forbidden army, I don't know, I think it's some kind of slave.

Han Qing's groveling, Su Qi's indifferent face, didn't say a word to him, and under his escort, he came to the square in front of the main hall.

Then he got out of the car, didn't even look at Han Qing behind him, and walked side by side with Xie Cang towards the front and the colorful hall.

The more Han Qing grovels like this, the more he can only say one thing, this celebration banquet is estimated to hold Su Qi'an high.

How high it is now, how miserable it will be to fall down in the back, and after preparing for so long, it depends on who can get their wish.
