The day of Gongbian was a good day that Su Yanzhao picked out according to the calendar.

It's a good time to travel and fight with soldiers, and more importantly, it's Su Yanlian's 21st birthday.

Dingguo Mansion held a large banquet to entertain the guests as usual.

After a year, the aftermath of the previous war has completely disappeared, and the entire Jinling has returned to the scene of the prosperous past.

As a rule, there is no bustling bustle of cars and horses coming and going, only at the ten or so tables closest to the main table, there is more tacit meaning in the interlacing of wine and chips.

Even though they were prepared to stay up all night, the banquet still ended earlier than before. After a short meeting in the main hall, everything was explained, and there was only a long wait left.

"Use this to make trouble, I've wronged you." Su Yanzhao took a sip of tea, and looked at Su Yanlian apologetically.

Whether it is the Duke's Mansion or the Prime Minister's Mansion, the location is extremely precious, and of course, it is also very conspicuous.

There are too many people involved in things like forcing the palace, and most of the people who need to be mobilized are military generals.

Su Yanzhao felt that it was unlucky to be stained with blood on such a good day as his birthday, so he naturally felt a little bit guilty.

Su Yanlian didn't really care. He was sitting in the chief seat today, but he was still down a few cups even if he pushed it. He was feeling a little fuzzy at the moment. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said with a smile; "There are birthday banquets every year. , nothing to be ashamed of."

"I'm afraid of my brother... It takes so much time and effort today, but in the future that person's wings will be hardened, and he will be a threat to the tiger."

In the silence of the room, a voice that was neither too loud nor too heavy could be heard clearly. Su Yanzhao lowered his eyelids and saw the reflection of his own eyes in the blue tea water. He was neither sad nor happy.

On that day, he had a showdown with Su Yanlian and said that he wanted to force the palace, but unexpectedly, he did not receive any objection.

The origin of Xie Xuan's throne is not correct, but he holds a high position and holds military power, and he does not belong to the line of Jiaozhou.No matter how you look at it, it should be the thorn in the flesh of the new emperor. Now that the Su family is afraid that they will not be eradicated, and after the enthronement, it will fade away, and sooner or later they will do it.

Su Yanlian didn't feel at all that there was something wrong with being preemptive, he only thought that Xie Qi, who was now one year older, was not as suitable as the ninth son of the emperor, Xie Yi.

Xie Yi is young and has always been close to the Su family, which is perfect for him.

With such thoughts in mind, Su Yanlian looked at his brother expectantly, hoping that the man in front of him would change his mind temporarily and change his candidate before the matter was resolved.

Su Yanzhao shook his head, his tone was gentle; "You have never been with that person before, and your conduct...is quite good."

Prosperity is bound to decline, not to mention that the Su family is so rich and honored like cooking oil.

In his life, he never thought of sitting on the aspect for too long. After Xie Qi became crowned, he would step down naturally, and then strictly control the words and deeds of the children in the family. It would not be difficult to maintain a long-term stability.

Su Yan moved her lips and was about to refute, but when she heard a knock on the door, Rong Yan entered the door obediently with lowered eyebrows, and said softly; "Prime Minister, Duke Ding, Mr. Xie Qi has arrived outside the residence .”

Hearing this, Su Yanzhao subconsciously looked at the sky, thanked Qi for his fast pace, and said helplessly, "Please hurry up."

Xie Qi went all the way from Shicheng Gate to Jinling and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although he took a soft sedan prepared by another courtyard, he was still keenly aware of the completely different atmosphere in the city from the past.

No matter how secret the army's mobilization is, it will always startle many people. Coupled with the extremely high political acumen of the people in Jinling, Chang'an Avenue has already shown a sense of deserted and bleak.

has already started.

Being greeted respectfully all the way into Ling Zeju, Xie Qi had a solemn expression until he saw Su Yanzhao.

Success or failure depends on one action, even if his personal strength is meager, he can't help but not be nervous.

However, when he entered Ling Zeju's main entrance and met the smiling eyes of that man, the anxiety in his heart disappeared without a trace as if it had never existed before.

"Your Majesty." Su Yanzhao saluted, and Su Yanlian also got up.

Xie Qi stretched out his hand to help each other, and exchanged a few casual greetings before sitting down.

"Why is Your Majesty here?" Su Yanlian glanced at the extraordinarily energetic black robe that Xie Qi was wearing today, feeling a little puzzled.

Su Yanzhao didn't agree with him about Xie Qi's insistence on coming over. First, he felt that some trivial matters were not worth mentioning, and second, he didn't bother to explain why he suddenly changed things that were not easy to change after he had decided.

Su Yanzhao lowered his eyes to avoid answering, but Xie Qi thought that he had changed his mind on the spot, and looked over eagerly.

"Prime Minister?" The tentative sentence was a little apprehensive.

Xie Qi himself couldn't figure out why he insisted on witnessing all this with his own eyes.

Obviously, as the biggest beneficiary, he can live in the Su family's other courtyard with peace of mind, waiting for the emperor's sedan chair to pick him up. From then on, he puts that unbearable life of confinement behind him, and returns to Yong'an Palace.

Even if he is defeated, the person in front of him has personally promised to protect him for the rest of his life, wealth and honor.

But he just wanted to come.

Imagine standing on the tower of Shichengmen on that day, no matter whether you win or lose, you will witness this life-and-death change with your own eyes.

I don't even want to... entrust everything to the person in front of me.

As if seeing that he was bound to win, Su Yanzhao sighed and said with a wry smile; "Swords have no eyes... But if your Majesty wants to go, I will go down to the viewing platform with your Majesty."

After saying that, he stood up again, pointed at Xie Qixu, and walked in front of them neatly, leaving behind Su Yanlian who was dumbfounded after seeing the two getting along for the first time.

Observation deck.

As the place where the emperors of the Daqi Dynasty received the worship of the people, the viewing platform is the tallest building in the entire palace.

Not only tall, but far away.

The viewing platform is only [-] steps away from the Xuanzheng Hall, but it is far away from the Yongan Palace where the center of the palace change is located. Even if you are on the high platform, you can only vaguely see scattered figures, but you can't distinguish the situation.

This is why Su Yanzhao proposed to watch the battle.

Blocking is worse than sparse, to satisfy Xie Qi's wish and let him take a look from a distance, if the situation changes, Xuanwei can be knocked out and sent out of the city, it's better than forcefully blocking him and letting him suffocate.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qi didn't care about this.

The viewing platform is high enough, and you can have a panoramic view of the Daqi Palace that you haven't seen for a long time.

Even if Su Yanzhao covered the sky with one hand, he still couldn't win over the entire palace, so from the gate of the palace all the way to the steps of Yong'an Palace, one could see the flames and swords fighting each other, the difference was only sporadic fighting and large-scale fighting.

From a distance, Xie Qi stared at the familiar palace.

To be precise, Yong'an Palace is a contiguous group of palaces, from the place where the emperor handles government affairs to the sleeping palace for entertainment. It is named only because the main hall is named Yong'an.

In the first memory of his life, he had only a few encounters with this palace.

As Ruizong's least favorite prince, every time he goes to the palace to see him, he is always in awe and fear, lest he will cause disaster if he is careless.

Later, Su Yanzhao welcomed him to the throne, and for the first time, he could look at this complex with curiosity, because he was about to become its owner.

Later, Xie Xuan took his place with a group of Jiaozhou soldiers, grandiosely taking his place, and imprisoned him in a small courtyard in the northwest corner of Jinling.

Now, he is going to become the owner of Yong'an Palace again.

A palace that has changed owners several times and has been stained with blood.

Still very happy... what's going on.

Very abruptly, he turned his head towards Su Yanzhao who was standing beside him, with a solemn expression; "Prime Minister."

"En?" Su Yanzhao withdrew his gaze from watching the battle in the distance, and answered in doubt.

"I guarantee that no matter what happens in the future, I will never suspect that the prime minister is of the same family as the Su family," Xie Qi paused, and his tone became more serious; "at any time."

The long night is long, and the palace walls are deep.

If he must sit on that chair in the Xuanzheng Hall until the day he dies with his eyes closed, shouldn't he... find someone to trust early on?

The author has something to say: Xie Qi; Su Yanlian, please tell me clearly, who is closer to the Su family, Xie Huan or me?

Xie Hu: Lying down with a gun jpg.

Officially entering the ambiguous period, emmm... What is the best way to pierce that layer of membrane?I started to get entangled with the distance [Hey]
