The Marquis of Dongshan, who was famous in Kyoto, had a quarrel with Su Xuanyong. He held a banquet in the imperial city, was arrogant and unruly, offended all the courtiers, and was out of the limelight. Many people hated him and hated him. His already dazzling eyes only made people even more jealous. Watch.
In this case, who would pay attention to other people? As long as Su Qi'an is not eliminated, the officials will only become more and more wary of him, and even the two princes will not be distracted from dealing with him.
As long as everyone's eyes are focused on him, the protection of the tenth prince will become safer.
During the banquet in the imperial city, Su Xuanyong was not confused at first, but he quickly realized and cooperated with Su Qi'an.
While beating Su Qian, he also beat the two powerful princes hard.
In the current imperial city, Su Xuanyong is still the absolute number one person, and his words and deeds are enough to shock the ministers and princes.
But this kind of shock must be continuous, if it is only intermittently, or even only a few times, over time, under the temptation of imperial power.
It was enough to make the minds of the two princes agitated again, causing the ministers to line up and become active.
After all, under him, Su Zhe and Su Tai were truly under one person. Whether it was power or the power within the palace, the control of the court had reached the point where Su Xuanyong could no longer control it.
In addition, Su Xuanyong is getting older, these two are still young and powerful, and have strong ambitions. It is no longer possible to weaken their power.
This is the result of Su Xuanyong's early years of adopting the technique of supporting and balancing the two sides.
This is also an important reason why Su Xuanyong has not dared to reestablish the crown prince so far.
No matter who is appointed, it will cause a bloody storm, and in Su Xuanyong's eyes, the two are not the most suitable candidates. Compared with the two, Su Xuanyong values the tenth prince Su Xian.
But no one except Su Qi'an knew about this. Therefore, in order to check the power of the two princes and give Su Xian time to develop.
We can only introduce a third person among the two to break the situation, and this third person is Su Qi'an.
Therefore, when Su Qi'an made a scene regardless of the consequences, Su Xuanyong understood what he meant and was only willing to cooperate with him and passively enter the situation.
In the end, this big drama ended with Su Qi'an openly causing hatred, but in fact, Su Xian was protected.
This kind of hatred is Su Qi'an's explanation for Su Xuanyong to break the situation. At the same time, Su Qi'an will also be under great pressure.
It is no exaggeration to say that now he is the public enemy of the entire Kyoto courtiers and even the princes. Whether it is to win over or to hate, Su Qi'an is developing quietly as before.
In order to give Su Xian enough time to grow up, this hatred must be sustained, and Su Qi'an must maintain this arrogant and arrogant attitude.
With an absolute attitude, he will face every enemy who attacks him at any time.
Of course, for now, Su Qi'an can still be safe in Kyoto where Su Xuanyong is in charge. But when the Fuso delegation's marriage proposal is over, Su Qi'an will also leave Kyoto.
Only then will he face all kinds of cold shots and secret attacks, just like when he left Kyoto three years ago, no one gave him support, and he could only rely on himself.
It's just different from the embarrassing departure from Beijing three years ago. If you want to kill him who will be full-fledged three years later, you can try it. Su Qi'an doesn't mind returning their blood.
This was also the reason why Su Qi'an dared to enter the situation personally and draw hatred from all the nobles in the capital city and even the prince.
And now that he has accepted the task of secretly protecting Su Xian, he must change his development strategy and continue to expand his strength.
Su Xuanyong turned a blind eye to this expansion. After all, three years ago, Su Xuanyong's help to him was limited to Kyoto City.
During his three years away from home, Su Qi'an's life and death experience depended only on the support of himself and the Ninth Princess.
Therefore, Su Qi'an was always very grateful to the Ninth Princess. Without Jiaozhou's help, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Jiaozhou.
The subsequent developments were all made step by step by Su Qi'an. Although this was a test for Su Xuanyong against Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an's hatred this time once again reduced a lot of pressure on him.
No matter which way you look at it, Su Xuanyong feels somewhat guilty, so he didn't complain at all when Su Qian set him up in this situation.
Only then would she be willing to let Su Qi'an meet the Ninth Princess. The scholar from Lingbei County who had only a little talent back then had finally grown to where he is today after several years of hardships.
Su Xuanyong was still very happy. At least his decision was right and he didn't misjudge the person.
Although there may be one more powerful marquis in Da Liang in the future, and there will be one more variable in Da Liang, it also has one more hope.
Looking at Su Qi'an with a sincere face, Su Xuanyong suppressed many thoughts in his mind and looked at Su Qi'an and said.
"Okay, this matter is almost over for today. I am a little tired from what you have done. Please step back. Someone will take you to see the Ninth Princess."
"It's just that after meeting, I still hope you can change your mind. Of course, the decision is still up to you, so go ahead."
After Su Xuanyong finished speaking, he didn't give Su Qi'an a chance to speak. He waved his hand and signaled to leave.
Seeing this, Su Qi'an cupped his hands and clasped his fists, then turned and left. He understood what Su Xuanyong meant.
This commotion has indeed given Daliang Fang some upper hand and will cause some trouble for the Fuso delegation.
But that is just a trouble. With the wisdom of Showa Incheon, we want to solve it, but it is a matter of time. This cannot be used to threaten to cancel the marriage.
In the end, we still have to watch the competition in the ring behind, and Su Qian understands this.
But even so, he still wanted to see the Ninth Princess. He wanted to know what the Ninth Princess was really thinking.
Not long after Su Qi'an left the main hall, a group of chamberlains came out of the darkness on the side. The leader of the chamberlains said respectfully, "Master Marquis, please come this way."
Su Qi'an nodded and left the main hall under the leadership of the chamberlain. The direction they went to was either deep in the imperial city or where the royal children lived.
A place like this is a truly forbidden area. Even if Su Qi'an is a member of the royal family, it is impossible to enter and exit at will. As he leaves the main hall, he is faced with a high and long palace wall.
Everyone just walked in silence, without saying a word, only the sound of trivial footsteps.
Walking through the palace walls, Su Qi'an felt peaceful inside. At first, he would be tense for a moment.
It was very dark ahead, and even though I was carrying a lantern, I still couldn't see the distance. The palace walls on both sides were high and thick, which could be said to be an excellent place for an ambush.
If he sent someone to ambush him, he would have at least an 80% chance of winning, not to mention 100%. However, this thought only existed in Su Qi'an's mind for a while and then dissipated.
This is the Imperial City after all, the real core area of Great Liang. If someone attempts an assassination here, that would be too bold and would also be seeking death.
An assassination in a majestic royal place, even if it was a small chamberlain, was enough to make Su Xuanyong furious, and he would definitely send out a large number of forbidden troops to search.
No matter who is behind the scenes, they will be severely punished. An assassination in the imperial city is equivalent to holding a knife, slapping Su Xuanyong hard twice with the back of the knife, and stepping on the ground.
No one with brains would do such a stupid thing. If nothing else, someone as powerful as Su Tai was just an excuse to take Su Qi'an to the outskirts of the city and do it secretly.
As for whether Su Xuanyong had the intention to take advantage of the situation, it was even more impossible. Not to mention the relationship between the two of them, even if Su Xuanyong really wanted to kill Su Qi'an, he would not be able to do such a despicable thing as assassination.
He is the Emperor of Great Liang. As long as he is willing, he can take down Su Qi'an with just a few words, and then hand it over to the ministers, who will charge him with unwarranted charges and kill him after the fall. This is what the emperor should do.
Su Qi'an's idea was basically right. They encountered nothing along the way and the surroundings were very quiet. They passed through the palace wall, entered a palace gate, and passed several corridors and gardens.
After walking for a moment or two, the chamberlain leading the team stopped. In front of them was a garden.
The garden is so large that it cannot be seen at a glance. Various flowers grow on both sides of the path, with a small gravel path in the middle.
The head chamberlain said, "Master Marquis, Your Highness the Princess is waiting for you in front. I will take my leave."
Immediately, the chamberlains turned and left. Su Qi'an stood there for a while, and then walked through the flowers.
This gravel road is not long, about thirty or forty feet long. At the end of the road is a relatively large pavilion.
In the middle of the pavilion, a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar figure turned his back to him.
He knew that it was the Ninth Princess. At this time, the Ninth Princess was wearing a white dress. Her long hair was not tied up, but fell naturally, giving people a very simple feeling.
But under the moonlight, it looked very cold. This coldness made Su Qi'an feel a little strange.
This was the first time Su Qi'an had seen this kind of Ninth Princess. In his impression, the Ninth Princess was either playful or slightly majestic.
Such a sentimental look made Su Qian feel a little dazed for a moment.
In this trance, a cold voice sounded, "Since Marquis Dongshan is here, why don't you dare to come and see him."
After hearing this, Su Qian came back to his senses, clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Su pays homage to the Ninth Princess."
Then she stepped forward slowly. At this time, Su Fengling turned around, revealing that familiar and beautiful face.
Although there is a smile on his face, he gives people the feeling that strangers should not approach him.
"Haha, Marquis Dongshan is indeed the most talented man in Great Liang. Less than a year after I left Jiaozhou, Marquis Dongshan has gained a reputation in Kyoto. Even I, who live deep in the harem, have heard about it. Marquis Dongshan is certainly extraordinary. "
Su Fengling's compliment made Su Qian feel a little uncomfortable. They didn't get along like this before. Not to say they were very harmonious, but they could still be considered friends.
But now, it gives people a completely unfamiliar feeling, it is just a normal conversation between a simple military lord of Daliang and a royal princess.
Su Qian nodded without answering, looking around as if looking for something, Su Fengling said directly.
"Don't be nervous, Marquis Dongshan. There are no eavesdroppers here. There are only you and me in this garden. Although my father is cautious, there will be no hidden conspiracy when he agrees. You can say whatever you want, I Listen, after all, I admire you very much."
