The current state capital is basically filled with the people of the King of Yue. After nearly two months of waiting, the King of Yue only occupied the state capital. As for the government affairs in the city, he never interfered and left them to local officials. This also made the local officials breathe a sigh of relief. .
Upon learning of Su Qi'an's arrival, the officials in the city greeted him non-stop and sent Su Qi'an to the state capital without any nonsense.
They knew exactly who the King of Yue was waiting for after staying in Dongzhou for so long. The arrival of Su Qi'an was also what they were thinking about. If the matter between these two big shots was resolved as soon as possible, they would be able to feel completely at ease in Haizhou City.
Su Qi'an left the "An" team in the mansion and walked to the central hall of the state mansion alone.
At this time, there was no guard in the middle hall. Su Kang was sitting on the upper seat. Behind him, Zhou Tai and Liu Chuang stood silently.
Su Qi'an stepped into the central hall and came to Su Kang. He cupped his fists and saluted. Before he could speak, Su Kang's voice sounded.
"Haha, the inspector is really a busy man. You have kept me waiting for so long. If you don't come again, I'm afraid I will come to see you personally."
When Su Kang made a joke, Su Qi'an clasped his fists to explain. Su Kang waved his hand indifferently and didn't care at all.
Then he said, "Haha, the war in Dongzhou has just calmed down, and the supervisors really need to work harder. It doesn't hurt."
"By the way, I must have met Yamashita Isamu before coming here. You should know some things. I am very curious about your thoughts."
Su Kang had a smile on his face, but his words were very straightforward. He directly pointed out Su Qi'an's meeting with Yamashita Yong. His expression was very calm, and it felt like it was a very loose and ordinary thing.
It was not surprising that Su Kang knew about Su Qi'an's meeting with Yamashita Yong. With his strength, he could still know such a trivial matter, and Su Qi'an did not deliberately hide it.
In this summons, Su Qi'an was prepared for the matter to be brought up. Su Kang took the initiative to bring it up, so Su Qi'an would not hide it.
He looked calm, nodded slightly, and then said, "I wonder what the King of Yue wants to know about me?"
"Of course it's about me being the mastermind behind the East and Vietnam states. I want to know the supervisor's opinion on this matter. Will he be resentful at being used as some kind of chess piece?"
Su Kang was very straightforward. As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup in his hand with a very calm expression.
Su Kang provoked the matter, and Su Qi'an stared at Su Kang with an indifferent expression, without saying a word. He stood there for a while, and then slowly walked towards Su Kang.
His palms were clenched tightly, and as the distance got closer and closer, no one knew what Su Qian was thinking or what he planned to do next.
Su Kang's behavior was fine for Su Qi'an. Even if he was two feet in front of him, he was smiling. But behind him, Liu Chuang and Zhou Tai were tensed, ready to deal with unexpected measures at any time.
Seeing Su Qi'an getting closer and closer, her clenched fists seemed to be stretched out. The next moment, Su Qi'an spun her steps, turned her body, and sat down next to Su Kang.
Looking at this scene, Zhou Tai and Liu Chuang, who were standing behind them, relaxed slightly. At this moment, Su Qian's voice sounded slowly.
"I have no idea about this matter. Isamu Yamashita is always a pirate. How much of what a person like him says is true, and how much of it is false!"
"Even if it is true, it doesn't matter to me. These are not important to me."
Su Qian's tone was easy-going. At the same time, he stretched out his palm, picked up the tea next to him, and drank it in one gulp.
He responded to Su Kang's questions with a calm expression.
Su Kang turned his head and looked at Su Qi'an, his smiling face was startled, and then he burst into laughter.
Su Qi'an's words revealed his attitude. In addition to Gu Jing Wubo's calmness, he also had an attitude of not being afraid of anything, even a bit strong.
Otherwise, he would not call himself the envoy. Even when facing him, the King of Yue, who was gradually showing his strength, Su Qian's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, without any fear.
How can I not let him appreciate such a person?
After laughing, Su Kang said, "Haha, you are worthy of being the supervisor appointed by your father. Even I like this attitude. To be honest, I am a few years older than you, so I will call you Qi An." how?"
Su Qi'an didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescence, and Su Kang continued.
"Brother Qi'an, you should be clear about the purpose of this king summoning you. To tell the truth, Yamashita Yong is right. The mastermind behind the two states of East and Yue is none other than this king."
"And I did reach an invasion agreement with Showa Incheon of the Fuso royal family many years ago. He sent people to invade the two coastal states and stir up trouble, while I sat in Yuezhou and resisted silently."
"You met Yamashita Isamu. I think he told you very clearly about some things. I won't repeat the rest."
"Why?" Su Qian's face was calm. He didn't have any emotional fluctuations in what Su Kang said. He simply said three words.
"It's very simple. Everything is for the imperial power. Brother Qi'an, you are deeply trusted by my father. You should know that in the court, my two brothers are fighting for the throne."
"Nowadays, the ministers of the court are forced to take sides regardless of their willingness or unwillingness. Now everyone only sees the second brother and the fourth brother, but forgets that the one who has a disabled leg and lives in a remote state is unknown. Second-class county king."
"Brother Qi'an, to be honest, I didn't covet the imperial power at all in the beginning, but it's a pity that my eldest brother is gone. The next successor to the Great Liang royal family can only be selected from the sons of my father."
"But why do I only see second brother and fourth brother? Just because I have a leg problem, I am not worthy? Is it destined to be forgotten? Suppressed and turned into cannon fodder?"
Su Kang's voice was very soft, but Su Qian could hear the strong unwillingness and anger in his words.
Su Qi'an had no intention of stopping him and listened silently as Su Kang continued.
Su Kang took a deep breath, the excitement of his words slowly subsided, and then said with a bit of self-deprecation.
"Brother Qi'an, I suffer from a leg disease and was placed as the king of Yue. I don't really care about these things. I am the king of the county and guard my own one-third of an acre. This may be the end of my life."
"However, my two good brothers are very suspicious of my surveillance. Even if I have no ability to threaten them, in the face of the temptation of imperial power, I would rather believe what I have than what I don't have. Surveillance and suppression are commonplace. If I hadn’t been keeping a low profile and forbearing for many years, I wouldn’t be so lucky to survive until now.”
"This is also the reason why I negotiated with Showa Incheon and reached an agreement. Without his men's years of intrusion, I would not have the chance to leave Yuezhou, and have always shown weakness and allowed their henchmen to occupy Yuezhou."
"On the other hand, with the help of the power of these pirates, I can temporarily achieve a balance with the confidants of my two brothers."
"Brother Qi'an, my life has been very difficult these years. I also want to live a peaceful life for a few days, but there is no way. The situation is forced. If you want to save your life, you can only go up and get involved in the imperial power. The fight is also a helpless move.”
"I have only one request for summoning you this time. I hope that the supervisor can see that I, the king, have been with you in the same boat, fighting against pirates and Japanese pirates, and can help me to win the throne."
"As long as you can agree, I will definitely make you the king on the day when I ascend the throne. I will definitely agree to all the conditions you put forward as long as I can fulfill them."
"I believe you have also seen that my ability is no worse than Su Zhe and Su Tai. I also believe that with your help, with our joint efforts, we will be able to revive Great Liang!"
"Yes, Inspector, we need you, and Great Liang needs you too. Join us and help His Highness the King of Yue. Please."
Behind them, Zhou Tai and Liu Chuang, who were silent, both clasped their fists and spoke with sincere voices and sincere attitudes.
That kind of feeling, if Su Qi'an had never seen a little bit of the world, he would have been infected a long time ago.
If what the King of Yue said in this paragraph is really all the truth and there is no concealment, maybe Su Qi'an will really relent and agree. It's a pity that Su Kang, who can hide himself so deeply, is not as kind as he appears. .
Su Qian put down the teacup in her hand, her ears filled with the sincerity of several people. She was silent for a while, and then said softly.
"What His Royal Highness the King of Yue said may not be entirely true."
Su Kang was startled, his eyes flashing, and then Su Qi'an's voice sounded again.
"The suppression of you by the two princes of the imperial court is indeed pitiful, and your resistance is also reasonable, but I think this kind of suppression is what His Highness wants to see more."
"This kind of suppression makes His Highness unable to hold his head up. Even the captain of a state was able to bully you. If it weren't for the consideration of being His Majesty's heir, Your Highness would probably be even worse."
"Even if you have doubts like this, over time, you will gradually lose your worries. In addition, you have leg problems and difficulty in moving. Many things do not go so smoothly. Not long after the war in Yuezhou was settled, the imperial court sent out an investigation team. It can be said that One wave comes after another.”
"Although His Highness was innocent in the end, if word spreads, it will give people the feeling that anyone can step on you, and the wariness of you will only become less and less."
"But I think if you didn't come to Yuezhou and take a real trip, you would never have imagined that all of this is just a trick of His Highness. The current Yuezhou, it is no exaggeration to say, is probably under your control. "
"As for the suppression by the confidant officials sent by the two princes, even without my arrival, those people would be as easy as squeezing an ant to death for Your Highness. It just depends on when Your Highness will take action."
"Everyone thinks that Your Majesty, the useless Sixth Prince, is the least threatening and the least to care about, but in fact, Your Highness is the one who truly hides himself. Even compared to the two princes in the court, you are not trying to do much. Jean, I wonder if what I said is right?"
Su Qi'an was unhurried and Su Kang didn't react much, with a somewhat inexplicable smile on his face. On the contrary, the bodies of Liu Chuang and Zhou Tai behind him tightened again unconsciously, and their eyes glanced casually. With a somewhat cold look.
