Su Yu expected quite well. Qin Xiao only waited for two days in Kyoto before the palace decree was issued.
The one who came to announce the decree was Eunuch Wei, a general secretary whom Qin Xiao knew.
When Qin Xiao was promoted from an official in the Ministry of War to a young minister in Dali Temple, it was because Eunuch Wei went to the Ministry of War to announce his decree.
"The edict says: The young ministers of Dali Temple competed in the ring. The victory was determined, but they had no moral character. Although they had no intention of killing, they were guilty of disrespect. He was dismissed from the post of young minister of Dali Temple and the food he was given was taken back.
I ordered you to think about your mistakes." Wei Gonggong's voice was calm and he declared to Qin Xiao: "However, his care for the country can be expressed as the sun and the moon, and he retains his title of viscount. I admire this!"
Several Kyoto officials present looked slightly surprised.
Qin Xiao didn't seem to care. After receiving the order to thank him, Eunuch Wei smiled and said: "Master Qin, the saint also said that before the Bohai Mission leaves Beijing, you should stay in the house and don't move around. The saint's will
It didn't say anything about taking back your mansion, so you can still live there for the time being."
"Thank you so much, father-in-law." Qin Xiao bowed his hands and said goodbye to Tongshi Sheren. Then he smiled at Tang Jing who had been by his side and said, "Master Tang, can I leave Kyoto Mansion now?"
"That's natural." Tang Jing nodded and said: "The saint's decree has come down and a decision has been made on this matter. Naturally, the Lord will go wherever he wants to go."
Qin Xiao laughed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for taking care of me these days."
"Sir, your heart is beyond comparison with that of ordinary people." Tang Jing sighed: "You have been dismissed from your official position, how can you still be so happy?"
"Master Tang should know that Xiling was occupied by the rebels. When I came to Beijing, I was alone and had nothing." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Although the saint dismissed me from my official position, he still retained the title of viscount. In addition, he also
Having a house to live in is much better than when I first came to Beijing."
Tang Jing couldn't help but admire him: "Sir, at such a young age, he can think so wildly about things. It really puts many people to shame."
"Otherwise, what can we do?" Qin Xiao sighed: "You can't just cry when you are dismissed from office, right?"
Tang Jing said softly: "Now that I think about it, it's a pity for the Lord. If this incident hadn't happened, with the contribution that the Lord had made in Jiangnan and the respect of the saint, he would have been able to achieve success and have a bright future. But now he has a bright future.
...!" Shaking his head, he was quite sad.
"Some things are destined." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Killing a Bohai prince and being able to save his life in the end is already Amitabha."
Tang Jing sighed softly: "Now that your lordship is gone, no one in Dali Temple can stand up to you...!" He shook his head, said nothing more, raised his hand and said: "I'm the official...
..Well, I’ll take Sir Alex out.”
"Master Tang, the saint has made a decision about me. I wonder how he will treat the Bohai Mission?" Qin Xiao asked: "Will he still grant me a marriage?"
"As far as I know, the saint has specially summoned the Bohai envoy." Tang Jing said softly: "Although there was no court meeting, all the ministries and departments were summoned to the palace, and Lord Fu Yin also entered the palace early in the morning.
"Since the saint's decree to the lord has been issued, he should also issue the decree to the Bohai delegation today." He frowned slightly and said: "But if we continue to grant marriages at this time, no matter who marries Bohai, over there,
Life is probably not going to be easy. Yuan Gaijian's son died in Datang. Even if the people of Bohai dare not act rashly against us, Datang, they will definitely have resentment in their hearts...!" I felt that I had said too much, so I stopped here.
Tang Jing sent Qin Xiao out of Kyoto Prefecture and asked someone to bring Qin Xiao's Black Overlord. In the past few days, Kyoto Prefecture has been serving the Black Overlord. Every day is the best material. The old man is still energetic.
Cheer up.
Qin Xiao did not go home directly, but went to Dali Temple. He happened to meet Su Yu coming back. The palace summoned the important ministers, so Su Yu naturally went there. When he returned to the Yamen, he met Qin Xiao. The two looked at each other. Qin Xiao bowed his hands and saluted.
Yu, however, looked a little solemn and asked Qin Xiao to follow him into the Yamen.
All the officials in Dali Temple did not know that Qin Xiao had been dismissed from office. They were all happy to see Qin Xiao come back safe and sound and congratulated them one after another. However, Su Yu asked everyone to leave with a cold face and led Qin Xiao to his room.
Xiaodao didn't show up. He poured a glass of water for himself first, and then made a cup of tea for Su Yu.
"The saint has chosen a female official with outstanding talent and beauty in the palace, conferred the title of Princess Yonghe, and has issued an edict to marry King Yongzang of Bohai as his queen." Su Yu sighed: "The Ministry of Rites has already started to organize this matter, and the Bohai Mission
I don’t want to stay in the capital any longer and have decided to return home in five days, and Princess Yonghe will also go with her.”
Qin Xiao's heart trembled: "Female officer? Who is it?"
"I haven't figured out who it is." Su Yu said: "She's just an ordinary female official. This time the Bohai people came to Beijing with arrogance and no longer being as cautious as before. The saint should also be annoyed by this, if not
In order to take the overall situation into consideration, the Bohai people may not be able to take away the Princess of Tang Dynasty."
Qin Xiao was a little generous, knowing that the female official who was given the title of Princess Yonghe would not be Changsun Meier. After all, Changsun Meier was a personal official and had a very high status among the female officials in the palace. If it was really Changsun Meier who was named Princess
Princess Yonghe, Su Yu should be able to know.
"Only marrying a princess?" Qin Xiao asked doubtfully: "Didn't the Bohai people still ask for Yuan Gaijian's hand in marriage during the last court meeting?"
Su Yu smiled calmly and said: "The saint is wise and wise, and he handled this matter very skillfully. But today, in front of the ministers in the court and the Bohai envoy, the saint rejected Yuan Gaijian's marriage proposal and bluntly said that the Tang Dynasty
The marriage between the princess and the King of Bohai has made the friendship between the two countries unbreakable. If the Bohai people want to get married, they can send a princess to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will also betroth the Princess Bohai to relatives of the emperor. The country listens to each other.
According to the words of the sage, he proposed to the people of Bohai on the spot that his second son, Marquis Huaiyang, had not yet been married, and was willing to marry the Princess of Bohai and marry her."
"Marquis of Huaiyang?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but smile.
At the beginning, Huaiyang Hou used Qingyi Tower to kidnap Qiuniang, so not only did Qingyi Tower disappear, but Huaiyang Hou was also directly thrown into the hands of Taishi Cunxu by the saint for training. Now he is singing in the north about the vast sky and vast wilderness.
The saint had only two princesses and no princes, so it would not be an insult to the people of Bohai if the son of the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty married the Princess of Bohai.
"The Bohai people naturally reported it to King Yongzang after returning home, and they just wanted them to send the princess over. Naturally, it was a wishful thinking." Su Yu said: "But in this way, it also blocked the Bohai people from continuing to build Yuan Gai.
Mouth for marriage."
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Yuan Gaijian's son died in the Tang Dynasty, and now he is refused by the saint to marry the princess. I'm afraid he will be very angry when he finds out."
"This is the brilliance of the saint." Su Yu smiled lightly: "The saint married the princess to King Yongzang, but refused Yuan Gaijian's marriage proposal. When Yuan Gaijian knew it at first, he must have been very angry, but he quickly
Then you will direct your anger towards another person.”
"King Yongzang?" Qin Xiao understood immediately.
Su Yu nodded and said: "King Yongzang is just a puppet in the hands of Yuan Gaijian, but the Tang Dynasty only married the princess to King Bohai. This shows that in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, King Yongzang is the lord of Bohai, and Yuan Gaijian
Although Jian held a high and powerful position, he was only a minister of Bohai after all, and his status was far from being comparable to that of the King of Bohai. This marriage will soon spread to the surrounding countries, and everyone will understand that in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of Bohai
There is a difference after all. Yuan Gaijian watched
The princess of the Tang Dynasty married the King of Bohai. Although he was extremely powerful, he could not get the marriage from the Tang Dynasty. As a result, although he hated the Tang Dynasty in his heart, he also had a greater fear of King Yongzang.
heart of."
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "In this way, the rift between the monarchs and ministers of Bohai will be even greater, which will naturally be of great benefit to us, the Tang Dynasty."
"The saint's handling of the Bohai Mission is considered wise." Su Yu sighed: "But on your side, the saint can only deal with it this way. The saint issued a decree in front of the Bohai Mission to let Bohai
After the envoy returned home, he told King Bohai and Yuan Gaijian that although you had no intention of killing anyone, you had hurt the harmony between the two countries and dismissed you from office, which would be an explanation to the people of Bohai."
"I came here to say goodbye to the old man." Qin Xiao stood up, raised his hands and said respectfully: "This junior has not stayed in Dali Temple for a long time, but I am grateful for the care of the old man. Your kindness will be forever
Don’t dare to forget.”
Su Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Now that you are leaving, I am the one who feels most uncomfortable. I won't hide it from you. Over the years, Dali Temple has become increasingly weak and has become useless. Many people are insulting me behind my back, saying that I am an incompetent and ignorant person.
I don’t really care about this. The people in the Ministry of Punishment are ruthless, and the people in Dali Temple, including me, are really no match for them. If we really wanted to confront them tit for tat, I’m afraid half of them would have died in Lu Junzhong’s hands.
.Since you can't fight them forcefully, then just be a coward. After all, you are still raising a family, so you can save your life and receive your salary every month to support your family."
"How can others understand how hard the boss has worked so hard?" Qin Xiao said with emotion.
"What I want to do is to protect these people and let them live peacefully." Su Yu sighed softly: "Others say that the corpses in Dali Temple are just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags. It's nothing. Wine bags and rice bags are just wine bags and rice bags. It's better than just one.
Who died at the hands of the Ministry of Punishment? How many people did Lu Junzhong torture to death in those years? In recent years, he has become more restrained, and many people have forgotten how ruthless he was in the past. He wanted to seize power from Dali Temple, but if it was given to him, he would have no power.
, so they won't be hated by others." He stared at Qin Xiao and said: "If you hadn't come to Dali Temple, I would have protected them as before for a few more years, and it was almost time to retire and return to my hometown to live in retirement.
"
Qin Xiao's expression became solemn and said: "When I leave, Lu Junzhong is afraid that he will cause trouble to Dali Temple again. I left a mess for Dali Temple."
"You don't have to blame yourself." Su Yu shook his head and said: "When I was in charge of Dali Temple, I also hoped to be able to distinguish right from wrong and eliminate evil and promote good, so that the innocent would not be wronged and the guilty would not go unpunished. But later I realized that a person really wants to
Doing something practical is much harder than you think. I know very well how many injustices have been caused by the Ministry of Punishment’s monopoly over the years. I am actually very happy when you come to Dali Temple. I even feel that my wish that I could not realize back then is still unfulfilled.
It can be realized by you. Although you are young, you are heroic and brave, and hate evil as much as hatred. With you here, it will not be easy for the Ministry of Punishment to continue to cover up the sky and confuse right and wrong. This is why I am willing to support you behind the scenes."
Qin Xiao nodded, Su Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But now that things have come to an end, I don't want to say anything more. The saint has deposed you, but you still have a long way to go. No matter when and where you are, never forget your original intention and punish others."
You can promote good out of evil, and with your talents and character, you can always achieve something great." After a pause, he said with a smile: "If you have free time one day, go to Xiangyang, Jingzhou and see me."
Qin Xiao was shocked and lost his voice: "Sir, you...?"
"I have already asked the saint to resign. I am old and want to resign and return to my hometown." Su Yu said calmly: "Although the saint has not directly agreed, I have no intention of continuing to be an official. Today you come to say goodbye to me.
, I actually want to say goodbye to you. If you and I work together, we can actually escape unscathed, which is not a bad thing."
