The visitor was still a little happy: "As far as I can tell Third Master, Prince Zhao is still alive, not dead."
"really?"
"Seriously, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes. The Prince Zhao is alive!"
Su Xun was happy and curious at the same time: "What on earth is going on?"
"It's a long story. When Prince Zhao was assassinated earlier, he realized that the person who assassinated him was someone from the Western Wei Dynasty. He felt that something was a little strange, so he investigated all the way and found that the matter was actually a conspiracy between King Sui and the Sixth Prince of the Western Wei Dynasty. , want his life.”
Eastern Zhao and Western Wei had been on good terms for many years, and wars rarely broke out. It was indeed very wrong for people from the Western Wei Dynasty to assassinate Zhao Mingzhan.
"For this reason, King Sui also promised the Sixth Prince of the Western Wei Dynasty, and promised him a city when the matter is completed."
"When Prince Zhao came back, he also got the letters between King Sui and the Sixth Prince of the Western Wei Dynasty, which were stamped with the seals of these two people."
"The Crown Prince Zhao learned that King Sui was planning to rebel, so he hurried back from the Western Wei Dynasty. He first joined forces with Pingyuan Marquis to subdue Concubine Zhao and others in the Imperial City, and then led his troops to Fengtai Mountain to escort him and arrest the rebel... ..”
Su Xun was stunned for a while as he listened. He was relieved to learn that the emperor was fine, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt a little strange: "Then why did King Sui assassinate Prince Zhao?"
This is too strange. No matter what Zhao Mingzhan said, he couldn't stop him, right? Even if he couldn't side with him in the battle for the inheritance, he didn't side with anyone else, right? Moreover, he dared to kill Zhao Mingzhan. King Zhao learned that that wasn't the case. Want him dead.
King Zhao, if you don't offend him, is still very reasonable and easy to talk to, but if you dare to kill his son, even if you go crazy, you may have to pay for it with the whole family.
The person who came to report this question was also confused: "My subordinates don't know about this."
Su Xun was thinking about this matter, and the more he thought about it, the more curious he became, so he asked the guards to go down to rest and went to the front yard to ask Li Lin.
He walked back and forth in the room twice: "Why do you think this is happening? Could it be that King Sui had a problem in his head, and that's why he thought of assassinating Zhao Mingzhan."
Li Lin put down his pen and explained calmly: "In the past, Emperor Dong intended to make Zhao Mingzhan the crown prince. Concubine Zhao and King Sui knew about it. Concubine Zhao and King Sui just wanted his life."
"What? The Crown Prince?" Su Xun was frightened again, "Zhao Mingzhan is the Crown Prince? Your Majesty is not..."
He wanted to say that Your Majesty, he didn't have a son of his own, so he couldn't have a nephew, right? But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that none of the emperor's sons could succeed.
King An was a loser, King Sui was petty and ungrateful. He often did things like eradicating dissidents, and his methods were ruthless and ruthless. He had no benevolence or the broad-mindedness of an emperor. There was also an imperial city named Zhao. ’s maternal ancestor.
Prince Ming is usually a bit crazy, does things erratically, and likes to have fun. If he sits in that position, he may be a foolish king.
In such a comparison, Zhao Mingzhan, the nephew, is really too good. If he becomes the crown prince and ascends the throne in the future, Dong Zhao will also be stable. Although the emperor loves his parents and children more, in this case, for the sake of the country of Dong Zhao, It is also very possible to establish Zhao Mingzhan as the crown prince.
Su Xun also felt that Zhao Mingzhan's appointment was a great thing and praised: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and he is indeed an excellent candidate!"
Li Lin packed up the books, walked over and sat down on the Arhat chair beside him, poured out two cups of tea, looked at Su Xun's happy expression, and then said: "Father-in-law, please don't be happy, Zhao Mingzhan has already rejected this matter. .”
"Rejected? Why?" Su Xun was stunned and couldn't understand. Is there anyone who doesn't want to be the emperor?
Li Lindao: "I don't know the specific reason, but after my father-in-law returned, he just pretended that he didn't know, just like in the past, and just did whatever he had to do."
Li Lin didn't want to tell Su Xun about Zhao Mingjing, but he was afraid that he would be embarrassed if he tried to persuade Zhao Mingzhan for the so-called future of his family and country.
"I still understand this truth." Su Xun is not stupid enough to ask people why they don't want to be emperor. He has no control over who becomes emperor in the future, so he can just run his errands well.
He took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Since something like this happened, I should go back. My father sent someone to send me a message, saying that I don't have to go back to Fengtai Mountain. His Majesty's chariot has set off today." Go back to the Imperial City, let me go directly back to the Imperial City."
In such a situation, Su Xun couldn't stay any longer. He hurriedly went back to accuse him of being a man with his tail between his legs. If he didn't go back after learning the news, then he would have left enough for others to impeach. Losing his official position would be a trivial matter. If you are not good, you will be punished.
Li Lin nodded: "When does father-in-law plan to set off?"
Su Xun thought for a while and then said: "I'll go back first. I'll ride back to the Imperial City early tomorrow morning. It's okay for your mother-in-law and A'luo to stay for a few more days. If they don't want to stay, you can arrange for two people to escort them back in a carriage tomorrow. .”
"That's fine, let's see what they think. My mother-in-law and A-Luo live here, and A-Wan and I are naturally very happy."
"I'll ask their opinions when they come back." Su Xun thought about it and felt it was inappropriate, "It's better to let them stay for a while, and then go back when Ah Jian's child is one month old."
"If you think about it carefully, it's only been half a month. I don't know what I'm going to do when I go back. They are also worried if I go back. It's better to stay."
"Isn't your uncle's family planning to marry a daughter? I told them that I had to go to Fengtai Mountain for urgent business and asked them to stay for the wedding banquet and not to tell them anything else."
"also may."
The two discussed for a while, and in the evening, Su Xun told Li and Su Luo that he was going back to Fengtai Mountain, and asked them to stay for a wedding banquet, and then follow Li Lin and Su Wan when Su Zhi was one month old. go back.
It had been half a month, and Ms. Li agreed without much thought. Recently, she and Mr. Zhou had become close, and they had developed some friendship. She was also willing to stay and have a glass of wedding wine.
As for Su Luo, she really wished she could stay a little longer so she could play with Zhang Fuer and the girls in the village. She didn't have to act like a noble girl in the village. She was completely free and happy. .
In the evening, Li Lin called Mr. Yan and Mr. Yu to come over for dinner so that he could bid farewell to Su Xun. Su Xun was thinking about how to go back and accuse him and how to protect himself from the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was also a little absent-minded. When it's almost done, it's gone.
In the early morning of the next day, Su Xun and his men hurriedly rode back to the imperial city. Su Wan and Li Lin took him to the entrance of the village and saw him disappear.
Su Wan stood there for a long time, feeling very reluctant to give up.
"It's cool in the morning, let's go back."
