Su Ji has maintained a carefree attitude for so many years without being noticed by anyone. In addition to keeping a low profile, the help of Zhongzhou Mu must also be important.
No matter what the situation is, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, especially if they are members of the royal family. They have been able to live in harmony for many years without any conflicts. It can only be said that the two of them have reached an agreement in private.
Otherwise, as long as the other party betrays you and makes some small moves behind his back, it will be enough for the other party to feel better.
Su Ji saw Su Qi'an's thoughts, he didn't hide it and said with a smile.
"Haha, nephew, you are good at everything, but you are too smart. You have seen through the little secret I have, uncle."
"Your guess is correct, nephew. Uncle, I have been able to stand in Zhongzhou for many years without falling. Zhou Mu has put in a lot of effort."
"Actually, what Zhou Mu wants is nothing more than the rights of Zhongzhou. I don't like the real power of Zhongzhou at all. And what I want is nothing more than to travel around Zhongzhou without being interfered with by others."
"Zhou Mu and I pursue different things, so the two parties naturally reached an agreement smoothly. He has all the rights in Zhongzhou, while I can travel around Zhongzhou without any restrictions, and the two sides are on the same page."
"So over the years, no matter how many state pastors Zhongzhou has changed, as long as this principle is followed, both parties will be in peace. If they don't follow it, naturally..."
Speaking of this, Su Ji did not continue, but Su Qi'an also guessed that the state pastors who cooperated would have the right to govern Zhongzhou. Those who did not cooperate would not stay in Zhongzhou for long, and would be transferred out of Zhongzhou for various reasons.
This principle still gave Zhou Mu a great advantage. In all Zhongzhou, except for King Yu who did not supervise the royal clan, everywhere else, Zhou Mu had the final say.
No one in their right mind would be stupid enough to interfere with such a huge good thing.
After all, he is the cousin of His Majesty in terms of seniority, and his usual behavior is very carefree and will not interfere in anything in Zhongzhou.
This kind of complete delegation of power is what every state shepherd dreams of. No one would cherish the opportunity to live in harmony with King Yu.
But unfortunately, these idiots in Beishan camp not only have nothing to do but seek trouble, they even want to expose the hidden side of King Yu and use it as further political capital for themselves.
Since these idiots were looking for death, no wonder Su Ji teamed up with Zhongzhou Mu to capture them.
Both sides maintain a no-nonsense attitude, but they also have a common principle that prohibits anyone from undermining the stability and peace of Zhongzhou.
Once there is a troublemaker, neither party will be polite. This is the consensus reached by the two, and it is the bottom line.
The reason for such a bottom line stems from Zhongzhou’s geographical location.
The strategic position of Zhongzhou is self-evident to the entire Great Liang. In troubled times, it is a must-win place for the world and the Central Plains. In peacetime, it is the foundation for maintaining the internal stability of Great Liang.
As long as Zhongzhou is not in chaos, Great Liang will be able to stabilize the situation in various places. Once Zhongzhou is in chaos, Great Liang will definitely split up immediately.
Maintaining the stability of Zhongzhou is the consensus reached by the King of Yu and the past generations of Zhongzhou pastors.
Judging from the previous Zhongzhou pastors, we know that Su Xuanyong valued Zhongzhou. Without exception, these successive Zhongzhou pastors were all people whom Su Xuanyong trusted and relied on.
It is precisely because of the location of such a state pastor that Zhongzhou has maintained its stability for many years. Even if various forces want to get involved from time to time, or even coerce and induce, Zhongzhou pastor will remain unmoved.
They have confidence, and the source of their confidence is the current His Majesty Su Xuanyong.
As long as Su Xuanyong was in power, even the most powerful Su Zhe and Su Tai would not dare to take action against him. Zhongzhou Mu would only obey orders and be loyal to Su Xuanyong.
Zhongzhou Mu will not pay any attention to other people, even if they are the best contenders for the throne.
Such a secret thing was not something Su Qian could guess, but Su Ji told him.
On the other hand, there is still the shadow of Su Xuanyong behind the scenes in Zhongzhou, and he is influenced by him.
Due to this influence, those disharmonious voices that appeared in Zhongzhou did not need Su Ji to say much, the Zhongzhou Mu would take action to eradicate them.
After understanding this relationship, Su Qian said with a smile, "Uncle, during this trip to Zhongzhou, even without my intervention, the two commanders of Beishan Camp should have been captured."
"My appearance is just a bait. Am I right?"
Su Ji smiled and nodded, "You are right. Those two will be captured sooner or later. It just happened that you came to Zhongzhou to test your strength, so you can understand that this is a gift from the emperor's uncle." The trap you set."
"If I lose this round, I wonder if the emperor will come forward and help me settle the matter like he did just now?"
Su Ji didn't answer this time. He just looked at Su Qian with a smile. The smile on his face said everything.
If Su Qi'an was just using his power to bully others, as the rumors in Kyoto City say, and had no real talent or knowledge, Su Ji would never reveal his identity.
But he would not watch Su Qi'an die in Zhongzhou City. At most, he would let the men behind him who had been silently protecting him rescue Su Qi'an and then send him out of Zhongzhou.
Save his life in Zhongzhou. As for what he will encounter when he leaves Zhongzhou and goes to Dongzhou, it has nothing to do with him.
But Su Qi'an's performance was enough for Su Ji to reveal his identity and stand up for him.
Whether you take action or not, the premise is that you have to be worthy of taking action. This sounds somewhat cruel and ruthless, but this is the fact.
Su Qi'an was not surprised or dissatisfied with this. This was the reality in Great Liang, and this was the concept among many people at the bottom, not to mention that Su Qi'an still held the identity of a royal family member.
The relationship between members of the royal family is based on absolute benefits. Not to mention Su Ji, even Su Qi'an has the same idea.
When entering Zhongzhou this time, if the Xiaoyao Prince Yu, Prince Yu, is not to Su Qi'an's liking, Su Qi'an will definitely choose to leave without looking back.
But now, through this period of contact and communication, Su Qi'an can feel the honesty of his imperial uncle.
Although this kind of frankness makes people feel a little uncomfortable, it is much better than Su Zhe or Su Tai, who smile in front of their faces and stab them in the back.
Seeing Su Qi'an's eyes flashing, Su Ji smiled and continued, "I think this situation set up by the emperor's uncle, even if I didn't take action in the end, I can definitely solve it easily with the emperor's nephew's methods."
"The emperor's nephew has an army of 20,000 capable of conquering and fighting. Even though the Beishan Battalion is powerful, in the eyes of the emperor's nephew, it is probably just a matter of control.".Ь.
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary." Su Qian waved his hand.
But this time, Su Ji said seriously, "There is no need for the emperor's nephew to be humble. Even though I don't know the emperor's strength very well, I can see through it. With this team under your command, I can see the strength of the Dongshan Army." strength."
"I don't think you need to say much about the situation that the emperor has laid for you. I think you can guess it."
Su Qian didn't speak and nodded slightly.
For so many years, Su Ji had lived a carefree and carefree attitude without caring about worldly affairs, and with the protection of Zhongzhou Mu, the entire Great Liang had paid little attention to him, and their impression of him had always been that of a carefree and happy prince.
But unfortunately, as Su Qi'an entered Zhongzhou, Su Ji could continue to disguise and hide his identity, but in the end he revealed another side of himself in front of Su Qi'an.
This behavior was still very dangerous. If Su Qi'an had the intention, he could use it as a lever to threaten Su Ji, but Su Qi'an did not do so, except that Su Ji had a certain amount of trust in Su Qi'an.琇书蛧
His purpose for doing this is probably similar to that of Nanzhou Mu Guhua, and he must be seeking something.
After all, Su Qian is a person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. Whether it is work or other cooperation, the other party will show his hidden side. This is the prerequisite for the two parties to cooperate.
Seeing Su Qi'an nodding, Su Ji did not hesitate and said softly, "I won't hide anything from you. I want a promise from you."
"When you quell the rebellion in Dongzhou, and your identity power takes a further step forward, and you can truly be on an equal footing with Su Zhe and Su Tai, you must ensure the stability of Zhongzhou."
Su Ji'an was not surprised by what Su Ji said. It was almost the same as what Nanzhou Mu Guhua said. The general meaning was
They are all waiting for Su Qi'an to have greater capabilities and stronger power in the future to protect the stability and security of the local area.
Su Qi'an could still agree to Gu Hua's request, but Su Qi'an was somewhat hesitant to Su Ji's request.
It’s not that he feels he can’t afford it, but that even the royal family, such an old prince, feels uneasy about the future of Zhongzhou. So in the future, wouldn’t the Great Liang really have a building that is about to collapse?
Su Ji'an could understand Su Qi'an's hesitation, and said, "Emperor's nephew, don't worry. The emperor's uncle does this not because he feels uneasy about the future of Great Liang, but because he has more trust, so that Great Liang can be saved in the future."
"Although there are some differences in philosophy between the emperor's uncle and your majesty, I am a member of the Su Liang royal family after all. Needless to say, the emperor's nephew knows better than me what the current situation in the court is."
"Among the many members of the royal family, you are the only one who matches my ideal choice. Even His Majesty has confidence in you, and the Emperor's uncle has the same confidence in you."
Hearing this, Su Qian's eyes flashed, as if he had thought something clearly. He looked at Su Ji and nodded solemnly, saying, "Uncle, I understand what you mean. In this case, I will accept this promise."
"I can't guarantee what will happen in the future. The counterinsurgency in Dongzhou is a big problem right now. The only thing the emperor's nephew can guarantee is that as long as I am in Great Liang, I will do my best to ensure the internal stability of Great Liang."
How great the ability is, how great the responsibility is. As Su Qi'an's status becomes higher and higher, and his strength becomes stronger, he gradually understands a lot.
Su Qi'an can't guarantee the future. All he can do is try his best and have a clear conscience.
Su Qi'an's promise made Su Ji feel relieved. He set up such a trap and even disclosed his identity for Su Qi'an's promise.
Fortunately, the emperor's nephew was just as he thought. At least he was a person who valued friendship and loyalty. This alone was far superior to many other members of the royal family.
