Chapter 796: I'm Back
Under the arrangement of the accompanying officials, along the way, Su Qi'an's journey was smooth, and it was basically arranged clearly.
Don't say anything about the ambush, I didn't even see the shadow of half of the bandits, and the accompanying officials were so eager, mainly to bear a good fruit.
This time Su Qi'an returned to Beijing, and the officials along the way all got the news, and they didn't need to deliberately inquire, they could probably guess that Su Qi'an's return to Beijing would definitely be promoted.
It is very likely that he will be promoted to the rank of the national prince, even if it is a second-grade national prince, at Su Qi'an's age, it is quite shocking.
The Guogong of about twenty-seven or eighteen, at least in peacetime, cannot be seen, but this Su Qi'an, under their gaze, has risen all the way in just four or five years.
But any normal person can see that Su Qi'an's future is immeasurable, and if he is offended at this time, it is his brain that is caught by the door.
Even if he takes a step back, he failed to be promoted to the prince of the country this time, and at Su Qi'an's age, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the prince of the country.
Under the tacit understanding of a group of officials, Su Qi'an's return to Beijing this time was quite smooth, and the original half a month's work was arranged in advance, and it only took seven or eight days to live.
The eagerness of the officials along the way, Su Qi'an didn't mean to explain, he never cared whether he could be promoted to the national prince, he just wanted to return to Beijing urgently.
Only by returning to Kyoto can we know the cause and effect of the incident, and as time passed, on the eighth day, Su Qi'an and his party finally returned to Kyoto City.
Su Qi'an rode his horse and stood about a mile or two away, looking at Kyoto City in front of him from a distance.
It has been about half a year since I left Beijing last time, and there has not been much change in half a year, but only after leaving, when I return to Beijing again, I have an inexplicable feeling in my heart.
You don't even need to step in, you can feel the hustle and bustle of Kyoto City from such a distance, and compared to the desolation of the two northwestern states, the two are immediately judged, and there is an indescribable feeling.
Su Qi'an didn't have time to sigh, the moment he appeared, in the distance, there was already a team of forbidden troops coming towards him, it seemed that they were specially escorting him into Beijing.
There is no need for Su Qi'an to speak, and the leader of the leader holds his fists.
"I've been waiting for the Hundred Chiefs for a long time, and I was ordered to come to greet them, and the Hundred Chiefs are here, please."
Su Qi'an nodded slightly, and then under the protection of a group of forbidden troops, he headed towards Kyoto City.
As the distance approached, the noise in the city was amplifying at several times the speed, even if there was a city wall separating it, the vibration brought by that kind of momentum made Su Qi feel shocked.
This kind of excitement really makes people feel that it is an exaggeration, and it does not seem to be an event specially for him at all.
As he entered the city, looking at the lively shops on both sides of the city, and the red banners pulled out from time to time, Su Qi'an's eyes swept away, and he knew the source of the excitement.
This kind of excitement is really not specifically to welcome Su Qi'an, but to prepare for Su Xuanyong's 60th birthday.
Looking at the city, full of lights and a festive look, Su Qi'an showed a clear look, calculating the time, it was really the day of Su Xuanyong's sixtieth birthday. Ь.
The 60th birthday of Emperor Daliang can be described as a celebration of the whole world, and it is natural to hold a special event, which is called rejoicing with the people.
But for this kind of celebration, Su Qi'an couldn't be happy in his heart, his mind has been on the war in the two northwestern states, don't look at it now that it's the end, the Rong *** team stationed in the country has no intention of withdrawing the army.
Forty or fifty thousand people, stubbornly defending the last military town, who can guarantee that Rongguo will not send a large army to support in the future.
The importance of Mengzhou to Rongguo is no less than that of Da Liang, and taking Mengzhou has been in Rongguo's mind for so many years.
Finally, when I encountered such an opportunity, even if there was only the last military town left, it was impossible for the Rong *** team to give up easily.
is like meat to the mouth, and it is not the character of the Rong *** team at all.
The war in the northwest has not completely ended, and the two sides are preparing for war to break out at any time.
But these words, he naturally can't be stupid enough to say them, just if this time called
Seeing that he returned to Beijing, just for this matter, Su Qi'an would definitely express his opinions in the court.
Just when Su Qi'an's eyes flashed and he was thinking about something in his heart, suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Hey, isn't this a hundred marquis? What a coincidence, I didn't expect us to meet here again, it's really strange."
Su Qi'an turned around, and behind him, a gorgeous carriage slowly stopped next to him.
On both sides of the carriage, a team of forbidden troops was also silently protected, and from a distance, it gave people an inexplicable aura of slaughter.
Under Su Qi'an's somewhat surprised gaze, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a familiar face appeared.
"The more... His Royal Highness the King of Yue? What a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here."
Su Qi'an came back to his senses in an instant and hugged his fists very politely.
I didn't expect to be able to meet Su Kang, the king of Yue, in this place, which is really surprising.
Su Qi'an's politeness, Su Kang waved his hand casually and said with a smile.
"Hey, the Baishou Hou doesn't have to be so polite, don't say anything else, the ninth sister will marry you, speaking of which, we are still relatives, if the Baishou Hou doesn't mind, how about taking it together?"
"Okay, since His Highness has invited him, there is naturally no reason to refuse."
Su Qi'an responded with a smile, then turned over and dismounted, and entered Su Kang's carriage unhurriedly.
The forbidden troops escorted by him, as if they had a tacit understanding, stood in line on both sides of the carriage, escorting them all the way.
The two people sitting in the car greeted each other like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Dongzhou farewell, I didn't expect to meet the hundred marquis on my father's birthday, it's really fate."
"Yes, if we don't have this opportunity, I don't know when we will meet next time." Su Qi'an responded.
Su Kang waved his hand and said softly, "Yes, but speaking of which, Baishouhou is also a busy man, how long after the war in Dongzhou ended, he was sent to the two northwestern states to calm the war, and along the way, Baishouhou worked hard."
"The war in the two northwestern states, this king has also heard about it, if it weren't for the distance, the request for help from the hundred princes, this king would have to support whatever he said, fortunately, my second brother is still sensible at the critical moment, and he didn't drop the chain, otherwise, he would have to complain to his father and emperor about anything."
Su Qi'an was beside him, nodded slightly, and did not answer, he knew that there were some things that he could not directly mix.
Su Qi'an's caution, Su Kang naturally noticed it, and quickly diverted the topic and said.
"This father's birthday, on the one hand, is to celebrate, and on the other hand, there is good news for the Hundred Princes." Ь.
"According to the reliable information that this king has received, this time I summoned the Baishou Marquis back to Beijing, in addition to reporting on your work, there is also the promotion of you to the second rank of the country, here, this king congratulates the Baishou Marquis in advance."
Compared with Su Kang's full smile, Su Qi'an was much calmer, and there was even a bit of solemnity between his eyebrows.
Seeing Su Qi'an look like this, Su Kang couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the Hundred Princes are not very satisfied with this arrangement?"
Su Qi'an shook his head and said, "Your Highness misunderstood, I am very grateful for my promotion to the second rank of the national prince, but the war in the northwest is not over yet, and I am afraid that the hearts of the border soldiers will be chilled at this time." Ь.
"Moreover, with such fanfare at this time, I always feel that it will have an adverse effect on the war in the northwest."
As soon as Su Qi'an's words fell, Su Kang stretched out his hand and hurriedly stopped him, then turned his head, scanned both sides of the car window with a solemn face, and only after making sure that no outsiders heard it, did he turn around and whisper.
"Baishou Hou, you can say this carefully, you can say it here, but when you get out of the carriage, it is better to keep it in your heart."
"This king will remind you that my father's displeasure is that on his birthday, if you say such bad things, if you are caught by someone with a heart, you will definitely say that you are deliberately causing trouble, deliberately exaggerating, if you provoke your father's displeasure, even if you are a celebrity next to your father, the end will be very miserable."
Su Kang's reminder, Su Qi'an naturally understood, the reason why he dared to speak like this in front of Su Kang was also a test for Su Kang.
self
Since knowing Su Kang's ambitions, Su Qi'an has never underestimated this Sixth Highness with leg disease, and this time he confided in his heart to see Su Kang's reaction.
Compared with Su Zhe and Su Tai, who have deep roots in Kyoto, Su Kang is like a duckweed in Kyoto.
If you want to gain a foothold in Kyoto, you can either win over the powerful ministers in Kyoto, or choose to surrender to Su Zhe and Su Tai, or take the third way and cooperate with people like Su Qi'an and others who have not stood in line.
And this temptation, at least one conclusion was drawn, with Su Kang's arrogance, it was naturally impossible to choose to bow his head, and there was only a third way to go.
Su Qi'an's temptation, Su Kang seemed to know, he did not get angry, but said unhurriedly.
"Baishou Hou is a smart person, there are some things that naturally don't need to be reminded by this king, and this king is also a smart person, no matter how ambitious he is in Yuezhou, but this is Kyoto, and any thoughts must be restrained."
"This king doesn't want to see a talent like you die, so during this time in Kyoto City, I hope that the Hundred Princes can be cautious, and this king will do his best to protect you, I think with my father's arrangement, this birthday banquet will not be too messy."
Su Qi'an nodded, the sound in the carriage gradually subsided, and with the escort of the forbidden army, the carriage slowly drove into the imperial city.
According to the rules, after entering the Imperial City, everyone had to get off the bus on foot, and under the arrangement of the commander, they had their own rooms in the Imperial City.
A horse master like Su Qi'an was naturally arranged to the bedroom of the royal family, that is, Su Fengling's bedroom.
After all, it has been half a year since they left Kyoto, and the two have not seen each other for a long time, so they are newly married.
Under the leadership of the attendants on both sides, Su Qi'an and Su Kang hugged their fists and said goodbye, and each headed towards their own bedrooms.
Walking through the long corridor, a dormitory appeared in front of him, the chamberlain stood at the door, and Su Qi'an stepped in.
What caught his eye was a long red phoenix robe, Su Qi'an stood in place, looked at the phoenix robe, and after a moment of silence, he said for a long time.
"Feng Ling, I'm back."
