Maybe it was because Lin Mo was not good at words, or maybe there were some things he couldn't say clearly, so his words were vague, but Su Shi still understood what he meant.
At the same time, I also figured out the reason why no matter how bad things I did in the capital, I could still be happy and carefree.
His father was a general who guarded the border, and the defenders were brave and skilled barbarians. The eldest brother Su Zhou is also a general who can act alone, not to mention that they have 100,000 elite troops under their command.
To put it harshly, he was the hostage of the Su family in the capital, and he was also a bargaining chip in His Majesty's hands. But on the other hand, he is also proof of the Su family's loyalty to the court.
This is also the reason why His Majesty does not let him leave the capital. How can he lose the bargaining chip in his hand.
Su Shi's original plan to submit a letter to His Majesty was for His Majesty to reprimand him and then kick him out of the capital. The reason why Su Shi did this was that he wanted to get out of the center of the whirlpool in the capital city. Watching with a cold eye might help him see the chess game more clearly.
Secondly, if Pei Xuan's people want to contact him, they won't attract others' attention. But when he thought about this, Su Shi felt that his head was as big as a bucket. It was obvious that the matter of Yang Wenshu taking him to see the deacon yesterday might have fallen into the eyes of someone who was interested. How should he explain it?
Of course, the most important reason was that Su Shi also wanted to know whether Pei Xuan's final plan had any basis, which could not be seen in the capital.
After thinking about it, Su Shi felt tired. He stretched and was about to go back to his room to catch up on his sleep. At this time, he saw Liu Xiao running over, with a look of confusion and fear on his face.
Su Shi couldn't help but laugh and said, "You know you are in a hurry, but don't worry yet. Why is it so urgent?"
Liu Xiao ran up to Su Shi, and before he could take a breath, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Sir, go to the main hall quickly, Your Majesty has sent Eunuch Hu to announce the decree."
Su Shi was stunned when he heard this: "Another decree?"
Zhou Jin had just finished washing up. She was sitting in front of the mirror, looking at the beautiful face and moon in the mirror. She suddenly remembered her dream last night and her face suddenly turned red, as if she had applied a thick layer of rouge.
She couldn't help but cover her cheeks. Although she was extremely shy, there was a hint of sweetness in her heart.
Just here, Xiaolan ran in in a hurry.
Zhou Jin quickly calmed down, but the affection could not fade away easily, so she had to feign anger to cover up her embarrassment.
"What makes you so anxious?"
In desperation, Zhou Jin's tone was a little harsh. Xiaolan heard that the princess's tone was not kind. Although she didn't know what happened, she had never heard Her Royal Highness speak in such a strong tone. She felt frightened and immediately knelt down. Fall to the ground.
"Princess, calm down."
Seeing Xiaolan's panicked look, Zhou Jin felt guilty and her tone softened a lot.
"I'm not blaming you, it's just that you are getting older now and need to be more cautious in your actions."
Xiaolan felt a little more at ease and hurriedly replied: "I will obey the princess's teachings."
Zhou Jin had calmed down at this time, and then asked: "What happened?"
"I just learned that your Majesty sent Eunuch Hu to the General's Mansion to announce the decree."
"Declared a decree?" Zhou Jin was shocked and stood up suddenly: "Why did my father declare a decree again? What is the decree?"
Xiaolan said softly: "I have inquired, and the imperial edict basically said that Mr. Su received the teachings of Confucius Jijiu at the General's Mansion, understood the principles of sages, and sincerely thought about his mistakes. I am very relieved, so I lifted Mr. Su's house arrest."
After hearing this, Zhou Jin didn't show any joy on his face, but looked extremely confused, because although Su Shi was nominally under house arrest at this time, his movements were not restricted. Why did his father do this?
Su Shi stared blankly at the imperial edict in front of him. He didn't know the purpose of His Majesty's imperial edict for a while. He had tested Eunuch Hu, but Eunuch Hu just raised his fly whisk, raised his orchid finger, and said in a high-pitched voice: " Your Majesty has good intentions for Young Master Su, and I hope that Young Master Su will live up to his sacred heart."
As for His Majesty's good intentions and what he should do to live up to his Sacred Heart, Eunuch Hu kept his mouth tightly shut and did not reveal a single word. He only said that he would rush back to the palace to answer the decree.
But when Su Shi saw him quietly putting the stack of banknotes into his sleeve, he felt relieved a little.
When Eunuch Hu returned to the palace, he also took away the imperial guards who were guarding the general's palace. The people in the palace looked at each other, even in disbelief.
Because the lifting of the ban came too suddenly, just as suddenly as the General's Mansion was banned.
It wasn't until Liu Xiao cautiously went out and saw that nothing happened that the people in the general's mansion cheered.
Su Shi returned to his dormitory at this time, and then fell asleep.
When he woke up again, it was already too late.
It was an extremely comfortable sleep. After Su Shi got up, he felt 100 times more energetic, but his stomach was rumbling.
He was about to call someone when Lin Mo's voice sounded outside the house: "Is the young master awake?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "I'm awake now. Come in."
Lin Mo pushed the door open with his feet, because he was holding steaming food and even a bottle of wine in his hands.
Su Shi couldn't help but look at him strangely, and couldn't help but smile: "When did you become so attentive? I'm not used to it anymore."
Lin Mo smiled broadly and said, "Miss Qin knew you hadn't had lunch yet and asked us to prepare it."
"Miss Qin is in the mansion?"
"We came just after noon. But when we heard that the young master was resting, we ordered us not to disturb him."
Su Shi was not surprised when he heard that Qin Nan was in the house. He smiled again and said, "Can't you be more careful and insist on being reminded?"
Lin Mo just smiled, put the food on the table, and continued: "Princess Pingle and Miss Xiaolan are also here. They are in the study with Miss Qin."
Su Shi stretched and said, "It seems that this imperial edict has been spread throughout the capital."
"That's true." Lin Mo said again: "Kong Wenshun, Master Kong and Qin Zhidao, Master Qin will also come after they go to court."
Su Shi nodded: "Then tell the kitchen to prepare some good dishes for the distinguished guests today."
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Butler Wu gave the order a long time ago."
Su Shi also felt hungry at this time, so he sat down, looked at the pot of wine, and said, "Since we are entertaining guests in the evening, we won't drink at noon. Master Kong and Uncle Qin are both good drinkers. Tonight He will probably try his best to get me drunk."
Lin Mo saw that Su Shi was in a daze for a while after finishing his meal. He was not in a hurry to see the princess and the others, so he could only remind him in a low voice: "The princess, Miss Qin and Miss Xiaolan are still waiting for the young master in the study."
Only then did Su Shi come back to his senses and murmured: "The war is coming, and it's time to sort out everything."
