Under such circumstances, continuing to stay would be asking for trouble. Moreover, because of the news about the negotiations, the people of Kyoto City were very excited and unconsciously felt a sense of pride.
The attitude towards the Fuso delegation has also changed. If it was said that they were more restrained before because they had to negotiate, but now that the negotiations have broken down, Da Liang is determined to send troops to eliminate maritime troubles, and the relationship with the Fuso delegation is not so valued.
In this case, gradually, the people of Kyoto City no longer need to be too polite to the Fuso delegation.
Even some practitioners have thought about whether to secretly kill the Fuso delegation.
But the thought dissipated the moment it arose, not because he was afraid of Fuso's anger if he did it.
But if they want to take action, they should do it quietly, which is simply impossible with their abilities.
Around Showa Incheon, there are top experts with considerable strength. It is difficult to solve the problem without leaving any trace, and it must be supported by the court.
Otherwise, if they really take action, not only will they fail, but they will probably be killed as a scapegoat in order to appease Fusang's anger.
A person with a little brain would not do such a thing that is not worth the gain, so whether it is in the long run or in terms of self-interest, this idea can only be hidden in the heart.
After the negotiation broke down, Showa Incheon had no intention of continuing to stay after learning about Daliang's persistence.
After only staying in Bieyuan District for two or three days, he led the delegation to return. Although the negotiations broke down and the relationship between the two countries deteriorated, the minimum etiquette was still required.
The Fuso delegation left the city, and the Governor of Kyoto, as the representative, went out to see them off. During the period, the two parties did not communicate. It was just like a daily reception, watching the Showa Incheon motorcade leave Kyoto City.
The governor of Kyoto came to see him off, and even his rank was lowered. Before, several princes greeted him, but now it was enough to see Su Xuanyong's attitude towards them.
Showa Incheon did not ask for trouble, and led the convoy to leave with an indifferent expression without saying a word.
Shortly after the Fuso delegation's motorcade left, cheers and celebrations erupted in Kyoto City.
Such a tough move by the imperial court made them feel proud. They had long been unhappy with the Fuso delegation.
If it weren't for the imperial decree, it would not have been easy for Showa Incheon to leave so smoothly this time.
The court's intervention this time was a relief for them. After seeing off the unlucky Fuso delegation, the cheers and celebrations in the city did not stop.
What they celebrated was that they were happy for Su Qi'an. Everyone was looking forward to when Su Qi'an would lead his troops to Dongzhou to quell the sea troubles.
Some people even went to the Dongshan Marquis Mansion and asked to be Su Qi'an's bodyguards, hoping to set out with Su Qi'an to fight against sea troubles.
Fortunately, the governor of Kyoto made timely arrangements and sent a large number of security troops to patrol and guard the outskirts of the Dongshan Marquis Mansion.
I was afraid that some fanatical people would appear and block the door of the Hou Mansion.
Now Su Qi'an's reputation in Kyoto City has reached its peak, and everyone knows it.
When many people mention him now, they show their thumbs up to express their admiration.
If you are lucky enough to follow such a military leader on an expedition, it will be a blessing for the people in the city.
Su Qi'an's reputation spread so loudly that he even reported back to the Imperial City again. Under this continuous and heated attention.
A message was sent out again in the imperial city. The second prince, the fourth prince, and many courtiers invited Su Qi'an to a banquet. This could also be regarded as Su Qi'an's farewell party.
The prince ordered that even Su Qi'an could not refuse. He did not bring many people with him this time, so he brought Xie Cang, promising the carriage prepared by the princes, and entered the imperial city again.
This time we entered the city, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than last time. It was just a simple banquet, and Su Qi'an could just go to the banquet.
The atmosphere at the banquet that night was very harmonious. As soon as they entered the palace, ministers came forward to propose a toast to Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an did not refuse, with a smile on his face and clinking glasses with the courtiers. The scene was quite incredible.
More than one courtier toasted Su Qi'an. Later, six ministers and ten
Several princes came forward one by one.
Even Zheng Yuan, Zhao Cheng, and Sima Yue, the three first-class men who had a very bad relationship with Su Qi'an, had smiles on their faces and exchanged cups with Su Qi'an.
There was no trace of any conflicts or grudges between the two parties. During this period, he asked Su Qi'an from time to time. If there were any difficulties or difficulties after the troops were sent out, he would do his best to help as long as he could.
Moreover, he explained to Su Qi'an that although there was enmity between the two sides, Su Qi'an sent troops this time to attack the Japanese pirates who were invading the sea and were foreigners.
When facing foreigners, the personal grievances between the two parties can be put aside, and the attitude can be said to be very sincere.
It seemed as if Zheng Yuan had really put aside his personal grudges and was willing to help Su Qi'an.
Tonight's banquet lasted for a long time, and it didn't end until late at night.
Everyone, even Su Zhe and Su Tai, changed their previous attitudes and praised Su Qi'an.
Until the banquet was over, they held the drunken Su Qi'an's hand and put him on the carriage, watching him leave the imperial city.
The carriage galloped quickly from the imperial city, sending Su Qi'an back to the Dongshan Marquis Mansion.
With a smile on her face, Su Qian was drunk and helped into the mansion by Xie Cang and the guards in the mansion.
Seeing Su Qi'an enter the house, the driver controlled the reins and left quickly.
At this time, Su Qi'an entered the house, still looking drunk, talking to Xie Cang while walking.
"Thank you, brother, come on, come on, let's not get drunk tonight and we'll drink a hundred cups."
Listening to Su Qi'an talking about these drinks, Xie Cang comforted her while sending Su Qi'an to his room.
Before entering the room, the attendants who were supporting him stopped. According to the rules, they were servants, and they were not allowed to enter Su Qian's room.
The only one who could go in was Xie Cang, who was close to Su Qi'an. Xie Cang slowly sent Su Qi'an, who was dangling a bit, into the room.
The servant outside the door lowered his head, then turned and left. As he was leaving, he could still hear some of Su Qi'an's drunken words.
In the room, just as Su Qian was being supported and lying on the bed, her slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
He said softly, "Thank you, brother, for troubling you this time. You have been acting with me for so long."
Su Qian was lying on the bed. Although her face still looked drunk, her expression returned to normal.
Xie Cang sat opposite Su Qi'an, nodded and said, "Hey, this is nothing. Brother Su is too polite. If they knew that Brother Su was pretending to be drunk on purpose, I don't know what their expressions would be."
Xie Cang chuckled, his voice was very low, and the room was not lit from beginning to end, so the communication between the two parties was in the dark.
"I don't know what the expression is, but what I know is that these guys will probably attack me soon. This banquet may seem harmonious, but in fact it is full of murderous intent."
Xie Cang agreed with Su Qi'an's words. At this banquet, both parties seemed to be in harmony, and even expressed concern for Su Qi'an, but this concern was only superficial.
In fact, they wanted to use this banquet to find out the time of Su Qi'an's expedition, that is, the specific time to leave Kyoto and go to Dongzhou.
Originally, according to the plan, Su Qi'an's dispatch of troops was to be seen off with great fanfare by a group of courtiers at the city gate. It was best to hold a farewell banquet before leaving.
But this plan was rejected by Su Qi'an. He had a private conversation with Su Xuanyong. In order to calm down the Dongzhou sea disaster more confidently, Su Qi'an did not plan to make a big splash and inform state officials along the way, but secretly entered Dongzhou secretly.
The benefits of this are obvious. Without greeting in advance, Dongzhou cannot prepare in advance. What Su Qian wants to see is not sufficient superficial work, but the specific situation inside Dongzhou.
The problem of maritime disasters along the southeast coast has not been solved for more than ten years. In addition to the strong strength of the maritime disasters themselves, what is more important is the complicated local relations within Dongzhou.
There are not only local officials here, but also local dignitaries and wealthy gentry families. The water inside is very deep. Su Xuanyong told him this.
Su Qian's Darkness
Su Xuanyong agreed to proceed in secret, but this agreement also meant that Su Qi'an had to bear some dangers that would be brought about by proceeding in secret.
For example, it is possible to be attacked on the road or even murdered.
Because it was done secretly and not publicly, Su Xuanyong couldn't protect him even if he wanted to. Therefore, only Su Qi'an was responsible for the threat hidden behind it.
Su Qi'an's life was safe as he set off with great fanfare, but after entering Dongzhou, he would see absolutely nothing.
But sneaking in secretly means a threat. This is a dilemma. Su Qian finally chooses the latter. He knows that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cub.
As long as we can find out the black hands hiding in Dongzhou who are working with Haibian to help others, it is worth taking some risks.
And over the past few years, Su Qi'an has taken a lot of risks. Isn't this how he got through?
Ever since they learned about Su Qi'an's secret plan, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee tried their best to find out the specific whereabouts, and that's why tonight's banquet was held.
At tonight's banquet, Su Qi'an was questioned at least twenty or thirty times, whether openly or circumstantially.
But who is Su Qian'an? They were fooled by him directly. Since asking directly was not possible, he was soft-spoken and kept pouring wine into Su Qi'an.
I wanted to see if I could get some information out of Su Qian's drunken state.
But the courtiers forgot one thing. They were facing Su Qi'an, who was as smart as a demon.
Under constant drinking, Su Qi'an turned into a trick and turned himself into an alcoholic. He drank so much that he became unconscious. Later, even if he wanted to ask, Su Qi'an could not even speak clearly. No matter how many questions he asked, he would not be sober. It's impossible to answer.
In this case, I simply sent him back.
But what they don't know is that Su Qian is not only top-notch in acting, but also top-notch in drinking capacity.
Not to mention that he is unrivaled in drinking, if there was a ranking list of drinkers, Su Qi'an would be at least in the top three, and no one except the two pillowcases and Xie Cang knew this secret.
