The former Su Qi'an had great talents and was good at fighting with soldiers, but he lacked a bit of edge.
Being low-key is indeed a good thing, but being too low-key can also lead to suspicion.
This kind of suspicion does not only come from the dignitaries of the court, but also from His Majesty.
He is only about 20 years old, has great talents, is good at leading troops, and his achievements can convince others.
At an age when he should be arrogant and sharp, he is so low-key and cautious, with a mature air.
It's hard not to be jealous of such an almost perfect temperament. The last time he left Beijing, Su Qi'an engaged Zheng Yuan's son Zheng Liang in military law in front of everyone.
He barely dispelled Su Xuanyong's suspicion, so he received His Majesty's seven-day protection and gave him the opportunity to leave the capital.
After making a comeback three years later, Wenxuan was still very worried about Su Qi'an at first, but after talking to him.
His hanging heart was finally relieved. The feeling Su Qi'an gave him now was the arrogance and sharpness of the young Marquis.
After feeling Su Qi'an's sharp edge, Wen Xuan nodded, and then whispered instructions.
"Qi'an, how good the others are in this court case depends on His Majesty's attitude. In the past three years, His Majesty's thoughts have become even more difficult to guess, so you have to be prepared."
Su Qi'an understood the instructions from the propaganda. From Su Xuanyong's reorganization of the cabinet and strengthening the supervision of the six ministries, it can be seen that Su Xuanyong is less decadent than three years ago.
With the restructuring of the government departments this time, it was Chu Xiong who initiated it, but if Su Xuanyong refused, it would be impossible for Chu Xiong to reorganize it, no matter how capable Chu Xiong was.
This approach of strengthening the imperial power revealed some news, and Su Xuanyong, who had been depressed for a long time, gradually came to his senses.
I don't know whether this kind of awakening is continuous or temporary. Even if it is temporary, it is enough to frighten the Duke of Zaifu, headed by Zheng Yuan, and prevent him from moving.
Looking at the more than 20 years since Su Xuanyong came to the throne, he was still very clear-minded in the first few years after he ascended the throne. He rectified officials internally, reduced taxes, and rectified the cluttered army externally. In several small-scale wars with Da Rong, Not a bad catch.
In those years, Su Xuanyong was a typical wise king, allowing people to see signs of resurgence.
Unfortunately, the unexpected death of his eldest son Suning, the former crown prince, directly affected Su Xuanyong's mind.
Gradually, he stayed away from the court and abandoned the government. Then, he used the position of prince as a temptation to let the second and fourth princes fight with each other, forming two factions in the court to check and balance the chaos in the court.
Although Su Xuanyong seems to have become a mediocre king who doesn't care about anything now, in fact, he has a clear view of the situation in the court, and he doesn't know how to die if he wants to play tricks with him.
Therefore, the most critical issue in this upcoming court discussion is Su Xuanyong.
Su Qian will not think about Su Xuanyong's attitude, and there is no need to think about it. All he can do is try his best. As for what Su Xuanyong thinks, only God knows.
Su Qi'an didn't stay in the Hanlin Academy for long, only half a day. After dark, the two of them returned by carriage.
Of course, all the two people's actions in Kyoto are monitored by the spies of major aristocratic families, and Su Qi'an knows this. .z.
From the moment he entered the city, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, and he was used to this.
This kind of surveillance has no impact on him. He can only watch from a distance and can't do anything else.
Along with the surveillance, there are also some rumors and rumors.
But half a day had passed, and the powerful people the family expected to have a grudge against Su Qi'an showed no intention of taking action.
In Su Qi'an's opinion, their discussion was similar to that of a clown.
Even the heads of major aristocratic families later realized that something was wrong, and a letter was brought along with the secret.
The head of the aristocratic family who wanted to take advantage of troubled waters suddenly stopped.
A message came from above, telling them to be quiet. If they continue to make trouble like this, it will be either them or Su Qi'an.
This news shocked the head of the family who wanted to cause trouble. He had never
I didn't expect this order to come from above.
There is only one possibility for the higher-ups to do this. This Dongshan Hou, who left Kyoto and disappeared for more than three years, has grown to the point where the higher-ups are afraid of him.
After thinking about this, the head of the aristocratic family broke out in cold sweat on his back. All kinds of unfavorable discussions about Su Qi'an that filled Kyoto completely disappeared before noon on the second day.
What disappeared together with him was the spy who had been silently monitoring him.
To the point where everyone above them is afraid, if they are targeted, they may die without knowing how.
All he can do is pretend that nothing happened, just like an ordinary spectator, silently waiting for the court proceedings to end and making plans.
The disappearance of rumors and informants had little impact on Su Qi'an. Su Qi'an and Xie Cang, as if they had not seen him, took a carriage and strolled around Kyoto during the few days they stayed in Kyoto.
Those who didn't know, thought that the two of them came to Kyoto just for fun. Everywhere they went in Kyoto, they didn't meet any of the dandy people they used to look down upon.
The dandies in Kyoto seemed to disappear overnight. No matter where Su Qi'an and Xie Cang went to lively places, they could not see these dandies.
This feeling is like avoiding the two of them, treating Su Qi'an as the god of plague, and hiding as far away as possible.
When Su Qian came to Beijing, everyone knew that there would be a lot of impeachment memorials waiting for him.
The current trip is just the last wild wasteland, just like the last seven days Su Qi'an left Kyoto three years ago.
He was lucky because he got away last time, but this time, he wasn't so lucky.
All the big and small aristocratic families in Kyoto were waiting for the news coming from the imperial city.
This kind of waiting did not last long. On the third day after Su Qi'an came to Beijing, news of Su Qi'an's entry into the imperial city finally came.
The order this time was an oral one given by Su Xuanyong himself, and it did not mean that it would be a few days later, but that he would immediately follow the father-in-law and the imperial army who gave the oral order to the imperial city.
It can be said that the oral instruction was still very sudden, but after thinking about it, it makes sense.
Su Qi'an has been in Kyoto for three days. These days, he is like a normal person, traveling to various places in Kyoto as he pleases, just for fun.
The attractive attention attracted most of the city of Kyoto, and even a few big shots above asked the family heads below to calm down.
But with Su Qian's frequent appearances, the limelight has become more and more intense.
It would be strange if there was no movement from the Imperial City.
This time, only Su Qi'an was invited to the imperial city. As for Xie Cang, he could not accompany him yet.
Everyone knows that once Su Qi'an's court case is resolved, all other summons and rewards will be trivial.
Su Qi'an straightened his collar, said a few words to Xie Cang, turned around and left with the imperial army and the father-in-law who was delivering the oral instructions.
The carriage was already waiting outside the door. By the time everyone looked at it, the carriage had already disappeared from sight.
Xie Cang's eyes flashed and he didn't say anything. He turned and left. Looking at the direction he was going, he saw the Hanlin Academy.
Nowadays, only the Hanlin Academy can know what is going on in the imperial city for the first time.
Although Xie Cang can't help Su Qi'an for the time being, he must know the outcome of the trial in court as soon as possible, which can at least give him some time to make preparations.
The carriage carrying Su Qi'an passed by, and it only took a quarter of an hour to enter the imperial city.
Just like in the Imperial City three years ago, according to the old rules, Su Qian had to get out of the car, and then led by another group of forbidden troops, walked towards the palace where the crime was being discussed.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or an accident, but the place I went to this time was the same palace as the one where Su Qi'an entered the Imperial City three years ago and attended the Imperial City Banquet for the first time.
But this time, the atmosphere was completely different from the last time we went to the banquet.
Last time, before Su Qi'an walked in, the lively atmosphere in the palace hit his face. After all, it was a banquet, so it was naturally much more relaxed.
But this time, it was still the magnificent palace, but as Su Qi'an approached, he could feel a cold and majestic aura blowing towards his face.
In addition, rows of black-armored imperial guards stood on both sides of the palace entrance. From a distance, this black palace looked like a crawling insect, exuding an aura that wanted to eat Su Qi'an.
Just when Su Qi'an was carefully observing the astonishing aura emanating from the black palace, the father-in-law leading the team stopped less than thirty feet away from the door.
"Master Marquis, we are here. Your Majesty and all the princes are waiting for you. Our mission is completed and we are leaving."
Hearing the father-in-law's words, Su Qian nodded and strode forward without hesitation.
If this scene had happened three years ago, Su Qi'an might have felt nervous, but after more than three years of training, he had experienced life and death.
Not to mention the seemingly majestic and cold palace in front of him, even with thousands of troops, Su Qi'an can still face danger without fear.
As the footsteps approached, Su Qian stepped into the hall after an announcement.
At this time, the main hall was brightly lit. Su Xuanyong was sitting at the top. On both sides of the bottom, Su Qi'an's old acquaintances, Zheng Yuan and Zhao Cheng, were all listed.
Looking around for a week, in the main hall, in addition to these acquaintances, there were also Wenxuan, the second prince, the fourth prince, a group of second-rank princes, and six other ministers.
The only thing missing was Su Fengling, but then I thought about it. Since ancient times, there have been rules in the harem not to interfere in politics.
Without Su Xuanyong's special approval, it would be unrealistic for Su Qi'an to see Su Fengling during the meeting like last time.
As Su Qi'an stepped into the palace, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Su Qi'an followed the rules and saluted Su Xuanyong. He gestured to his colleagues on both sides and was about to retreat to one side to find his place.
As expected, a deep voice sounded in the hall.
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial to impeach Marquis Dongshan and request that Marquis Dongshan be punished for his crime!"
"Your Majesty, the same is true for me, veteran minister. Please punish Marquis Dongshan for his crime!"
Someone took the lead, and soon after, at least a dozen voices sounded in the hall about impeaching Su Qi'an and demanding that Su Qi'an be severely punished.
