While Su Xuanyong was hesitating, Zheng Yuan, who was sitting below as a spectator, spoke first.
His words shocked people. Who would have thought that he, who had always been at odds with Su Qi'an, would support Su Qi'an so much at this time, and he would still be so supportive.
Not only him, but also Zhao Cheng, Sima Yue and other princes who died shortly after Zheng Yuan's words expressed their supportive opinions.
This move stunned all the six ministers. Before entering the palace, was this not what everyone discussed before?
They had a feeling that they had been betrayed again.
Above, Su Zhe and Su Tai also looked surprised, but after their eyes inadvertently met Zheng Yuan's below, they instantly seemed to understand something.
After many of the princes spoke behind him, he said to the side, "Father, I think that although the words of Marquis Dongshan are a bit arrogant, they are not unfeasible."
"Marquis Dongshan is a military marquis with great achievements in Daliang. We all appreciate his commanding ability. Moreover, Marquis Dongshan is right in what he said. Fusang's ambition is clearly revealed in this negotiation."
"After the literary fight, you still dare to threaten me and others. You really don't take Da Liang seriously. If we give in this time, I'm afraid it will encourage Fusang to despise Da Liang."
"Originally, the negotiations between our two parties broke down and reached a deadlock. If we continue to talk, there will be nothing to talk about. Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative. If Dongshanhou can quell the banditry on the southeast coast this time, it will give Fusang a shock and let them Look, I, Daliang, can never be bullied."
"Father, what my second brother said, and my son agrees with, if you continue to be soft on this matter, not only will Fusang gain more and more, but Dongshan Hou has finally managed to gather the prestige of the people of Kyoto, and I am afraid it will be destroyed in one day. If he loses the support of the people, , it will be difficult to save it.”
"I promise that if Marquis Dongshan is in need, I am willing to cooperate fully and will definitely help Marquis Dongshan quell the banditry on the southeast coast in one fell swoop."
What Su Zhe and Su Tai said was sincere. Looking at the six ministerial books criticizing Su Qi'an below, everyone broke out in cold sweat.
The two princes spoke like this, and they were sure that they had become completely wronged.
Moreover, this kind of injustice is still the kind of injustice that you can't refute even though you know you are being used as a chess piece, you can only break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach. Who let the two high-ranking princes blame them.
The speeches of the two princes played a big role in making Su Xuanyong, who was a little undecided, narrow his eyes and look at Su Qi'an below seriously.
"Dongshan Hou, since you are so determined, it is not easy for me to stop you. What I can give you is to mobilize all the tokens in Dongzhou. When you see my tokens, if I come in person, if anyone does not obey, you can kill them first and then report them." s right."
Su Xuanyong's promise was more affordable than other false promises. This was what Su Qi'an wanted.
Of course, he knew that this token, which gave the power of life and death, was not easy to get, and there was a price to pay behind it.
After a while, Su Xuanyong changed the topic and said, "I give you this military card, so I can rest assured. However, if the banditry along the southeast coast cannot be eradicated within half a year, you know the consequences. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
Su Xuanyong's words were not a joke, but rather cruel.
As the Emperor of Daliang, the first person in power in Daliang, no one needs to explain how much he values power.
Being able to give Su Qi'an the military card to mobilize everyone in Dongzhou at this time, and even the power of life and death, this kind of power is very terrifying.
Dongzhou is far away from Kyoto City, and this time Su Qi'an was sent to Dongzhou without any so-called supervisory troops, which is enough to show Su Xuanyong's trust in Su Qi'an.
If the banditry on the southeast coast can be completely suppressed, it will be an absolute great achievement for Great Liang.
But at the same time, this token that gives Su Qi'an the power of life and death in Dongzhou is a double-edged sword. If it cannot be pacified, Su Qi'an will be destined to become a scapegoat no matter how he explains it.
Even if Su Xuanyong trusts and values him, he will be blamed when the time comes. This is the cruelty of the emperor, the feeling of being trusted but not trusted by the emperor.
It's not that Su Xuanyong didn't give Su Qi'an a choice, but he insisted on
Therefore, Su Xuanyong will not force it.
If they can be pacified, everyone will be happy. If they lose, it goes without saying that Su Xuanyong will take Su Qi'an's sacrificial flag without ceremony.
Su Qi'an had no intention of retreating. He cupped his fists and said to Su Xuanyong, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. We will do our best to quell the banditry along the southeast coast and restore stability to the southeast of Great Liang."
"Well, you are worthy of being the Marquis of Daliang. I like the arrogance of Marquis Dongshan. I look forward to the good news of Marquis Dongshan's victory."
"By the way, gentlemen, do you have any objections to my handling of this situation? If so, feel free to bring it up. It's hard to get this opportunity. Say what you have to say. If you don't say it this time, you won't have the chance to say it again. oh."
Su Xuanyong seemed to be asking, but in fact it put a lot of pressure on the six ministers, who hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed.
"His Majesty's handling was fair. Weichen has absolutely no objection. Weichen supports His Majesty's decision."
"That's right, since Dongshan Hou is interested, what are you talking about? Isn't it because you have too much foreign ambition and destroy your own prestige? Here, Wei Chen is also looking forward to Dongshan Hou's victorious return."
"Yes, it has to be Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty comes forward, nothing can be solved. I think we did something wrong in this matter. I would like to express my apology to Marquis Dongshan here. Of course, as long as Marquis Dongshan needs it, we will also give our full support. "
"Looking forward to the victorious return of Marquis Dongshan."
The six ministers had a quick change of mind. Not only did they take the initiative to admit their mistakes, they also praised Su Xuanyong with a rainbow fart.
His attitude towards Su Qi'an was a 180-degree change, and his attitude changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
Su Qi'an was used to it. After being in the court for many years, he was always the master of changing the situation. If he persisted, it was not impossible.
It's just that these old-fashioned people who don't know how to adapt have been suppressed in court meetings one after another.
They know that in the court, there are two bottom lines that must not be touched. One is not to offend King Jin or King Zhao, and the other is not to disobey His Majesty.
As long as you grasp these two bottom lines, there will basically be no problem in the court.
Su Xuanyong's voice suddenly made the atmosphere in the palace of impeachment and verbal quarrels with courtiers disappear instantly, and was replaced by a sense of harmony.
That kind of harmony seems to give people a rather unreal feeling.
Su Qi'an looked around with a smile on his face, and then said to Su Xuanyong above him amid the congratulations.
"Your Majesty, I have an unkind request. Please accept it."
Su Xuanyong raised his eyebrows and said softly, with a bit of curiosity, "Oh, let's talk about it."
Su Qi'an nodded without hesitation and said, "Weichen wants to use this military exploit to pacify the southeastern coast in exchange for Your Majesty allowing the Ninth Princess to marry Weichen."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, except Su Xuanyong, looked surprised.
Su Qi'an's words were indeed bold, not ordinary. The banditry on the southeast coast had not yet begun, and he was thinking about rewards for his military exploits after it was quelled.
Should this be said that Su Qian's self-confidence is inflated, or that he is too arrogant?
If the reward proposed was something else, perhaps he wouldn't be so surprised, but he actually mentioned the Ninth Princess again.
This time he was even bolder and directly asked His Majesty to marry the Ninth Princess to him. There was no reasonable explanation for the entanglement between him and the Ninth Princess before, but now it happened again.
This was because he didn't think he died quickly enough, so he was jumping back and forth on the edge of Su Xuanyong's red line.
Compared to everyone's shock, Su Xuanyong was stunned for a moment, and then with a playful smile on his face, he said softly.
"Haha, it turns out that Dongshan Hou is waiting for me here. Dongshan Hou is really good at planning."
"Aren't the Marquises of Dongshan afraid that I will capture you now and then execute you?"
Su Xuanyong's half-smiling expression made the atmosphere in the hall drop a lot, and no one could notice what Su Xuanyong was thinking in his heart.
Facing Su Xuanyong's threat, Su Qian nodded and said calmly, "Wei Chen knows how to say this."
In the end, His Majesty will definitely be unhappy or even angry, but Wei Chen wants to say something. "
"Before Wei Chen met the Ninth Princess, he was always cautious and cautious. But after meeting the Ninth Princess, Wei Chen knew how much the Ninth Princess took care of and helped Wei Chen."
"Weichen has always avoided his feelings for the Ninth Princess, but after entering Kyoto, he met the Fuso delegation and after doing some things, Weichen understood a truth." Kanshu La
"Even foreign princes dare to express their love for the Ninth Princess. If Weichen blindly escapes, can he still be considered a man? This time, Weichen wants to face his heart, does not want to escape, and wants to marry the Ninth Princess."
"If we can quell the banditry on the southeastern coast this time, it will be a gift from the minister to the Ninth Princess."
"Weichen knows how complicated the banditry on the southeastern coast is, and there is a high chance of failure, but Weichen is still willing to go, because he wants the people in the world to see that the person married by the ninth princess of the royal family is by no means weak. Incompetent people."
"Of course, if Wei Chen is defeated, without Your Majesty taking action, Wei Chen will definitely stay in Dongzhou, and Dongzhou is where Wei Chen is buried."
"Now that I have figured it out, there is no need for Wei Chen to hide his thoughts. Of course, if His Majesty wants to blame, Wei Chen is willing to suffer the same."
"But your Majesty, please don't involve Wei Chen's family. They are innocent. Without them, Wei Chen would never be where he is today. It is Wei Chen's wish to marry the Ninth Princess. Wei Chen also loves the two good wives in the family. This Love does not distinguish between each other, and I hope your majesty will fulfill it."
Su Qi'an's almost sincere speech seemed to be understood by everyone.
They felt the love for the Ninth Princess. Likewise, the meaning of his words was very clear. It was impossible to divorce his wife.
According to his intention, he should marry the Ninth Princess. There are three wives in the family, and all three have the same status. They are equal wives, regardless of size, and there is no distinction between concubines.
This kind of speech must be said to be very bold and a bit unconventional. Moreover, he expressed his true feelings in front of His Majesty. Judging from his expression, he was very determined and it would be difficult to change.
After so many years in Great Liang, I have never heard of many ordinary wives without concubines, and among these wives there are no different sizes, including royal princesses.
If you dare to say this, you will risk your life. If nothing else, Su Qian's ability to say this in front of His Majesty is unprecedented in the history of Great Liang. Next, it depends on how His Majesty will deal with it.
