It has been a tradition since the founding of the Yan Kingdom, and every time a new monarch ascends the throne, a group of capable ministers will be selected from the meritorious heirs to assist the new emperor, strengthening the relationship between the royal family and the princes of all parties.

The news was conveyed to the states, as if in the faint tide of the beginning, directly smashing a stone and setting off a circle of water.

Ding'an County, Rongzhou.

When Su Congfang received the edict, he hadn't slept well for two days, and compared to other marquis who didn't know, he knew that the person behind the assassination of the Su family was the crown prince, the new emperor.

The king of this dynasty also participated when he was the prince, and now it is Su Yong's turn, this time, the old man is worried after all, if he doesn't go, it is the crime of bullying the king, saying that you don't respect the king's name, it is all light, if someone slanders and puts on a hat with ill intentions and plotting rebellion, Su Congfang can't wear it.

On the third day, the old man could no longer hold back the news, and at breakfast today he told everyone in the family about the edict.

The calm atmosphere was suddenly broken, Su Chen frowned, he had discussed with Cao Cao a few times before, what was the emperor's next move, but he didn't expect it to be this trick.

Sure enough, as Cao Cao, the king of Wei, said, a naked conspiracy.

He looked at the eldest brother who was also frowning, and the second brother who had a hard time eating together, he squeezed his chopsticks tightly, and his cheeks bulged tightly.

"Can't go." The second brother said in a low voice.

Yin Suhuan knew some of the things inside, and held her husband's hand with some concern, Su Yong patted the back of her hand, smiled at his wife, and said: "Everyone goes, but my family doesn't go, which will inevitably dislike the emperor." ”

"He didn't like it in the first place!" Su Chen threw the chopsticks on the table, "This time, there will be more than one luck." ”

"That won't necessarily be my turn." Su Yong knew what this younger brother wanted to say, "But if you don't go, you'll really get into trouble." ”

No matter what happens in the future, it is certain that the feudal domain will be cut, but if you don't go, you will have a reason to be manipulated by the emperor.

Su Chen set his eyes on his father Su Congfang, if he was ruthless, then the family would simply raise the flag and rebel, if the pros and cons were weighed, then the eldest brother could only go to Yanjing to participate in the royal meeting.

The old man didn't speak, he ate silently, and didn't look at the three Su Chen brothers, after a while, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and called Su Yong to go to the study with him, Su Chen and the second brother Su Lie sat outside the study and waited, and after half an hour, the eldest brother came out of the house, with a smile on his face, patted the two brothers on the shoulder, and called Su Chen and the two to leave here together.

On the way, Su Yong said with a smile.

"It's not okay not to go this time, let's lower our posture a little bit, and it should be fine. Your Majesty's enthronement will not stare at us for an acre and a third of land. ”

The dynasty will be scheduled at the end of December, when the weather is at its coldest.

On the fourth day of arrival, there were scattered snowflakes, and the preparations for traveling to Yanjing were ready, and the gifts of the new emperor were presented, and two carts were pulled, and Su Congfang dialed two hundred armor soldiers in the palace to escort him.

Outside Ding'an City, the family's relatives, large and small, as well as Xiao Wu, who didn't know what was going on, also came to see off the eldest son, huddled together and gossiping.

"The king of the dynasty will meet, then His Majesty chooses talents."

"The son of the world is so talented and mild-tempered, maybe he can really be looked down upon."

"Tsk, in the future, it will be the Hou Ye and the court member, and our Su family will be prosperous again."

The old woman standing in front looked at her eldest son who was about to go away, and she was reluctant to give up.

The child travels thousands of miles, and the mother is worried.

She took out a purse from her arms and put it in Su Yong's hand: "This is what my mother has been wearing on her body, you put it on your body, you can keep you back safely." ”

"Madam, the child is going to the capital, don't be sad, come back soon, what are you doing crying."

Su Congfang held his wife's hand, he didn't dare to tell his wife about the things inside, so as to save her worry, but just saying that, his eyes were also a little red.

The rustling branches and leaves of the old trees on the side of the road, the snowflakes mixed with the white beard swayed slightly in the wind, and he turned his face away a little, not wanting others to see the dignified marquis like this.

"Let's go, it's not early, I can't say that it will snow heavily at night, and then the road will be blocked, delaying the time to enter Beijing."

"Father and mother, take care, the child is gone." Su Yong held up his wide sleeves and bowed to the two old men, Shi Quan bowed, and after getting up, he looked at his thin mother and squeezed out a little smile: "Mother, the child is not around, you let Su Huan accompany you more." ”

The old woman wiped her tears and nodded.

Su Yong turned around at this time, walked to the carriage, looked at the two brothers, he hugged Su Lie, walked up to Su Chen again, and held Su Chen's arm, "Brother left for a while, the family will rely on you, father's side will help more when he is free, and then the eldest brother will bring you gifts from the capital." ”

"Big brother, take care all the way, I'll wait for you at home." Su Chen came over at the age of seven, and was taken care of by this brother who was five years older than him since he was a child, and he was also uncomfortable when he parted at this time, but unfortunately he was not strong enough to fight with a dynasty at all.

Su Yong smiled, got into the carriage, and the sound of the wheels turning, slowly drove forward along the official road, and two hundred armor soldiers accompanied the escort on foot.

Perhaps a little sad, Su Yong got out of the car again, stood on the chariot, and waved goodbye to everyone.

It wasn't until the far-away convoy disappeared at the end of the official road that Su Congfang asked everyone to go back to the city, and Yin Suhuan looked at it for a while before getting into the carriage under the persuasion of Hua Hongzhen.

"Second brother, you go back first, I'll ride around on horseback." Su Chen looked at the end of the official road and said softly.

"Then you go home early."

It could be seen that the third brother was in a bad mood, Su Lie did not continue to persuade him, turned around and got into the carriage, and rode in the same car with his wife, and soon the convoy of the Hou Mansion returned to the city.

"Good luck."

The wind and snow drifted past his gaze, Su Chen retracted his gaze, and summoned the silent green forest knight with a gun, "You follow, if there is an accident, try to protect my brother thoroughly." ”

The chivalrous man on the side said silently, "Yes", and then picked up the gun and got on the horse, just about to urge the horse to leave, suddenly Su Chen stopped him, wished justice and turned back: "What else does the little marquis command?" ”

Su Chen walked to the horse and looked at him, and slowly arched his hand: "You also take care." ”

Zhu Gongdao was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face, and arched his gun.

"Little Marquis take care!"

He turned back to the sloppy-looking guard not far away and shouted at the sword-wielding guard, "Thirteen! The safety of the little marquis is entrusted to you! After speaking, he shouted softly: "Drive!" With a clamp on the horse's belly, the horse galloped wildly, chasing after the convoy that had gone away, and gradually drifted away in the eyes of Su Chen and Thirteen.

"Let's go, let's go back too."

Su Chen turned over his horse, turned his horse's head, and ran to the city gate with thirteen.
