If there was only Marquis Jingwu, Su Hong could reason with him confidently, uprightly and honorably!
He reads books from sages and will never flinch from discussing principles with them.
But the arrival of the old lady broke his original plan.
He carries the jade pendant given to him by the old lady. This is a matter of 'property' and 'righteousness'. If he continues to quarrel with others at this time and is unreasonable, he will only embarrass the old lady and end up in a bad situation.
The point of being unkind and unjust.
His reputation will be completely ruined.
He never understood the old lady's thoughts, but she was definitely not simple. In terms of resourcefulness, he was afraid that the old lady was even better.
Marquis Jingwu was silent for a while, just standing quietly.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Su Hong broke the silence. Marquis Jingwu glanced at Su Hong, and the old lady said softly.
"But it doesn't matter." Emperor Shang said.
"Although Tang Xin's crime is unpardonable, he understands etiquette, justice, and integrity. His merits and demerits are balanced. He should be buried well."
As soon as Su Hong's words came out, everyone was immediately stunned. They had no idea what he was thinking. However, the corners of Marquis Jingwu's mouth slightly raised and a sneer appeared on his face.
"Good means."
"Marquis Jingwu, what do you mean?" Emperor Shang turned his attention to Marquis Jingwu.
"A rich burial." Marquis Jingwu only said two words.
A smile appeared on Su Hong's face. Looking at Marquis Jingwu, the smile in his heart became even brighter.
Before coming to the palace, he had long expected that Marquis Jingwu would come out to stop him. If he didn't come, he would not be Marquis Jingwu.
Naturally, the old lady came, which was beyond his expectation.
But despite this, it still can't change the purpose of his coming here in the first place.
With lightning speed, he confuses the public and makes everyone think that he is going to convict Tang Xin, and finally he is justified.
However, for Su Hong, it is of no use to make Tang Xin's crime known to the world. He made a big fuss in the Jinluan Palace today.
The reason is just to separate from the Marquis Jingwu Mansion and make achievements alone.
This Marquis Jingwu stopped him once, and then stopped him a second time, which seemed a bit too arrogant and domineering, not taking Emperor Shang seriously, and monopolizing the world.
He bets!
Marquis Wu Jing would not suppress him a second time.
He spoke.
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Emperor Shang also narrowed his eyes.
"Since ancient times, those who have made outstanding contributions have been rewarded with land, but now..."
Before Su Hong finished speaking, the Shang Emperor laughed, waved his hands and said, "What do I mean? The place where I want to enfeoff the city is, Grand Tutor, help me check, there are other places on the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty.
What vacant land.”
Sure enough, Su Hong on the side had been paying attention to Marquis Jingwu's reaction. Seeing that there was no strange look on his face and no intention to stop him, he knew that he had made the right bet.
When the Taifu heard this, he picked up the book in his hand, kept turning the pages, and finally said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are only three vacant lands now."
"Which three places?"
"The first place is the land of Xiliang. It is close to the Northern Wilderness Kingdom and the Wind God Kingdom. It is the junction of the Three Kingdoms. Although the land is our country's land, no one has been stationed there over the years because it is too messy and difficult to use.
Management, over time, is forgotten.”
"The second place is the pre-Qin city. It was once garrisoned by the Qin State. Later the Qin State was destroyed by us, but the remnants of the Qin State are moving around everywhere, and it is also very far away from my dynasty."
"The third place is closer to us, but the level of danger is no less than the previous two places. It is a reef island. Although there are many people there and they surrender to our dynasty, there are many supernatural things and they often happen.
The village name disappeared."
"Wei Chen..." After hearing about the three places, Su Hong thought for a moment and decided to choose the second place, because although it was far away, it was extremely beneficial to him...
But before he finished speaking, Marquis Jingwu continued, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Reef Island is the most suitable for dogs. However, he has read the books of sages and is not afraid of ghosts and gods. So he went to Reef Island.
On the one hand, I have my own land, and on the other hand, I can investigate what happened on the reef island."
"Yes, that's reasonable." Emperor Shang nodded, and then said, "Su Hong listens to the order."
"Wei Chen is here."
"I have rewarded you with the reef island. I hope you will take good care of it and don't let me down."
Su Hong's heart was filled with rage. On the surface, Marquis Jingwu was thinking about him, but in fact, he chose the nearest place. It was convenient, but he wanted to keep a close eye on himself. Marquis Jingwu had a good plan!
Even though the anger in his heart was about to erupt like a volcano, Su Hong still restrained himself. Now, it was not the time for a falling out. Although the rocky island was close, he was finally away from the Hou Mansion.
Thinking like this, his mood gradually improved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Hong cupped his hands to thank him.
What happened after that was that the civil and military officials described the situation in various places, natural and man-made disasters, or plagues. At about noon, Emperor Shang stood up and shouted, "Retreat from the court."
As soon as he retired from the court, Su Hong returned to the Marquis Mansion like a raging fire, packed his things, and prepared to leave.
After packing up his things, Su Hong headed to Er Niang's residence.
Unlike what I met the first time I went there, the second lady was not practicing martial arts, but was just trimming her clothes.
Su Hong also understood that the Hou Mansion had many eyes and ears. If you practiced martial arts during the day, you could easily be caught. Only practicing at night was the best way.
And the second lady is not as submissive and cautious as she appears. From the fact that the person who was monitoring her was directly killed by her, she knows that this second lady is also a master who eats people without spitting out their bones.
It's just that these are not important to Su Hong. It is enough for the second lady to care about, care for and protect him.
When the second lady saw Su Hong coming, a smile suddenly broke out on her face. With this smile, all the flowers lost their color. Her face was in her thirties and she walked gracefully.
"Hong'er, are you okay?" The second lady reached out and touched Su Hong. She felt relieved when she saw that he had become much stronger and had no hidden injuries on his body.
Su Hong smiled slightly. Seeing the second lady's reaction, he knew who had delivered the information from the old lady.
The old lady didn't know anything about the world. If there was no communication, how could she rush to Jinluan Palace? She couldn't help but feel a little moved, but she said, "Er Niang, I'm fine."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." The second lady was also happy.
Thinking of the purpose of his coming, Su Hong stopped being sensational and said continuously, "Er Niang, it is not safe for you to practice martial arts and stay in the Marquis Mansion. If you are discovered, there are many dangers. I will go to court this morning. The Holy Spirit will give me
If Er Niang doesn't dislike the land of the fief, she can follow Hong'er and leave together, and she will no longer have to be bound by the Marquis Mansion."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Er Niang was startled, her expression changed, but it was not happiness, but a deep worry.
