After the news about Lingnan reached the capital, the emperor was so angry that he overturned everything on the table in the imperial study room to the ground. The people in the imperial study room knelt on the ground.
"You bastard, you really are a bastard. I want to save his life, but he wants to rebel against me and collude with the Huns!" The emperor kicked the table hard in anger.
Fan was watching from the sidelines, but didn't know what to say, so he had to kneel there to accompany him.
"Go and call Su Xubai over to me!" the emperor said coldly.
Fan Zheng responded and hurried away.
It didn't take long for Su Xubai to arrive. Fan Zheng had been waiting at the palace gate early. As soon as he saw Su Xubai, he hurriedly said: "Master Su, you are here. Today, Lingnan sent a memorial.
Your Majesty lost his temper after seeing it, and it was difficult for anyone to speak! Your Majesty specially invited you to the palace, probably for this very reason!"
Su Xubai was stunned for a moment: "You mean Lingnan?"
Fan Zheng nodded: "Not bad!"
After Meng Duiwan left, Su Xubai was idle for a while, but later she figured it out. In fact, it was a good thing that Meng Duiwan left him. At least now she can live a better and more comfortable life than before. Her tone kept saying
It would be better to let her go if she was tied to him. Although he would be sad if he did, at least she would be at ease.
But today Fan Zheng suddenly mentioned Lingnan, and he became a little panicked: "Did something happen to Lingnan?"
"There have been bandits running around in the past few days. They have been for a while, but they were suppressed by General Meng. There have always been water thieves and mountain bandits in Lingnan. It is not a strange thing, so it can't be considered as something happened.
But these days, the comings and goings of bandits have become somewhat frequent, so General Meng went to the court to ask the court to pay more attention to it." Fan Zheng said softly, "Otherwise, there is nothing else going on!"
The Marquis of Yongchang and his son went to Mobei for a patrol. They have been gone for a while and have not come back yet. There has been no other news from Yongchang Marquis' residence recently. Su Xubai suddenly became worried: "Is it Meng Duiwan..."
Fan Zheng paused for a moment, then looked at Su Xubai: "Master Su, don't think too much. It's better to go see His Majesty first. After all, only in this way can we know what happened."
Su Xubai frowned slightly, and then followed Fan Zheng forward without saying a word.
When he walked to the imperial study room, Fan Zheng opened the door and saw the mess all over the floor. It was obvious that the emperor was angry again. Fan Zheng took a deep breath, and then walked in cautiously: "Your Majesty,
Master Su is here!"
"Well, you can go out!" The emperor sat on the dragon throne, lowered his head and said calmly.
Fan Zheng glanced at Su Xubai, said "yes", and quickly walked out with all the palace people.
Su Xubai knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty Qianqiu!"
"Get up!" The emperor sighed, then raised his head and threw the memorial in his hand to Su Xubai.
Su Xubai had quick eyes and quick hands and caught the memorial directly: "This is..."
"This is from Lingnan. If you open it and take a look, you will know what happened?" the emperor said and sighed again.
Su Xubai opened the memorial with some anxiety.
The calligraphy on the memorial was very bold, and one could tell at a glance that it was written by a person who had practiced martial arts all year round. However, Su Xubai's expression became worse the more he looked at it. After a while, he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty feels that General Meng pointed out that
The person behind it is the Seventh Prince!"
"Who else could do such a stupid thing except that evildoer?" The emperor was angry, "I wanted to spare his life, but he wanted to rebel. As long as he has any brains, he should know that I am saving his life.
He, well, he not only doesn’t know what’s going on, but he also wants to rebel against me!”
Su Xubai lowered his head and said nothing. All he could think about was how Meng Duiwan led his troops to win several battles, and even captured the opponent's leader Atuba alive. Apart from the slightest surprise, he was more amazed.
.
Seeing that Su Xubai didn't speak, the emperor couldn't help but frown: "Why don't you speak?"
"Back to Your Majesty, General Meng only said that the other party had premeditated collusion with the Xiongnu and disrupted the court. He never mentioned the Seventh Prince from the beginning to the end!" Su Xubai lowered his head and said softly, "Could your Majesty have gone astray?
"
The emperor glanced at Su Xubai, and then said coldly: "In Su Aiqing's eyes, do I look like a foolish emperor without any brains?"
Su Xubai quickly knelt down: "I don't dare!"
"I know, because I couldn't bear it for a moment, I let him go, which hurt the prince and you. I know it in my heart, but I always think about what he looked like when he was young. His mother was a heinous person. But in the final analysis, he
I don’t know what I did wrong. I just feel that I killed him like this. He is really innocent..." The emperor sighed, "It’s just that I never thought that he would dare to do such a rebellious thing. It’s quite shameful.
Those who support it, declare to the outside world that they are upholding the right path!"
"Your Majesty came to see you because of this matter. You must have something to arrange!" Su Xubai raised his head and looked at the emperor.
"I hope you will go to Lingnan." The emperor looked at Su Xubai and said lightly.
Su Xubai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Why did your Majesty choose a minor minister?"
"Not many people know about this matter, and I don't want the third person to know. Meng Shaoqing is still in Mobei with his father and has not been able to come back. The prince can't take the time now, and there is no one better than you for the time being.
There is a more suitable person!" The emperor looked at Su Xubai and said softly.
Su Xubai lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that Wei Chen will not be able to make this trip. General Meng is quite dissatisfied with Wei Chen..."
"I know, but the matter between you and Meng Duiwan is a private matter, while Lao Qi's rebellion is a state matter. You have to understand the principle of priorities!" The emperor looked at Su Xubai, "Just go with confidence and boldness. In this matter
When it comes to matters, no one dares to say a word no!”
Su Xubai's face was full of embarrassment: "Your Majesty..."
"Didn't you always want to resign and go to Lingnan?" The emperor put down the pen in his hand, "Why are you unwilling to go now that I am asked to do so? Is it possible that in such a short period of time, you already don't want to see me again?
Is it too late to arrive in Mengtui?"
When Meng Duiwan was mentioned, Su Xubai's face turned slightly pale. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to see her all the time, but after these days, I know very clearly that now he has
She feels better when she is by my side. I am afraid that after seeing her, I can't help but want to keep her by my side. She should belong to the battlefield, not to me."
