It's hard to be the emperor who crosses the eagle

The arrest warrant shook the government and the public.The emperor's most trusted right-hand man was wanted!Still wanted for no reason!So the censors, who were idle and painful, healed their scars and forgot the pain, and went to see them one after another. They said in the memorial that this kind of behavior was not good. Balabala said a lot, and finally lived up to expectations in exchange for a meal.As soon as the board was hit, it was immediately clean.So some people just deserve a beating.

Ten days passed by in a flash, and there was no sign of Zhang Ning at all.Su Ruochen seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and acquiesced in their withdrawal of the arrest warrant, and this vigorous arrest event would be over.

Since you don't want to come out to see me, I still cry and beg you to come out?You hide, it is best to hide for a lifetime, and never come to see Lao Tzu!Su Ruochen thought bitterly.He understood that if Zhang Ning didn't want to be found by him, it would be difficult for him to find him, and besides, he didn't have so much time to spend with Zhang Ning.Sitting in this seat, one has to shoulder corresponding responsibilities, and venting self-will for ten days is already the limit.From then on, Su Ruochen is just the emperor of Song Dynasty, Zhang Ning, it is best to be separated forever.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong visited a few days ago, and they really wanted to know what happened.Su Ruochen just showed a perfect smile and invited them to play in the imperial garden together, but the two of them could clearly feel how far the distance between themselves and that person was.In front of him, even Huang Rong, who used to be noisy and fearless, didn't dare to be presumptuous again, obediently obeying a series of rules.This is a real emperor...

Huang Rong felt constrained, so she said goodbye to Su Ruochen and continued to play with Guo Jing.

Su Ruochen's eyes turned cold, Genghis Khan, your army on the west road, be careful to wipe it out...

Zhao Yurui and his party who went to Jiangling to investigate the case finally came back, and the result was the same as what Zhang Ning told Su Ruochen privately.What Murong An did, even exposing himself, was just to see Zhang Ning and himself?Thinking of Zhang Ning, Su Ruochen snorted again.

Zhao Yurui didn't understand what he meant, seeing his elder brother's expression was unkind, he immediately asked concerned: "Brother, are you alright?" Could it be that Zhang Ning did something?Zhao Yurui thought of the turmoil of the "Most Wanted in Ten Days", and felt that his elder brother's appearance must have a lot to do with Zhang Ning.Immediately thinking of the existence of Hong Qigong and others, he couldn't help feeling a little angry: "If it's not convenient for the elder brother to deal with those Jianghu people who don't have a king and father, I am willing to relieve the worries of the emperor!"

Hearing the word "Zhang Ning" again, Su Ruochen was upset again, and then showed a perfect smile mixed with kindness, and said to Zhao Yurui: "Xiao Rui, brother is fine, just a little tired .”

As soon as Zhao Yurui heard it, she understood that it was because her elder brother didn't want him to ask further questions.Although he was unhappy in his heart, he still tactfully did not ask any further questions.

Su Ruochen sighed softly, and signaled Zhao Yurui to go back to rest first, and he would still need his cooperation tomorrow morning.Regarding the fact that Xie Daoqing visited the prison before Zhang Ning escaped from prison, Su Ruochen was also aware of it, but decided not to say anything, treating it as a secret that never happened.Some things, it is good to know in your heart, if you say it, I am afraid you have to do some things you don't want to do.

He could roughly guess Zhang Ning's whereabouts. Although he couldn't know the exact location, Su Ruochen could be sure that Zhang Ning was not far away from him, and he was still hiding in Lin'an City.

Zhang Ning, who was dressed in black, came out from behind the tree, leisurely like a stroll in the garden, and it was impossible to tell that this person was a jailbreaker whose arrest warrant had just been withdrawn.

Xie Daoqing was horrified in his heart, but angrily accused him of dishonesty: "Zhang Ning, since you promised me to leave the official house, why did you still appear in the palace?"

Sitting opposite Xie Daoqing, Zhang Ning said with a light smile, "Zhang Ning just agreed to the Empress's departure from the Heaven Prison, but did not say anything about leaving Her Majesty."

Xie Daoqing was angry in his heart, and snorted: "Zhang Ning! You are too presumptuous! Believe it or not, I will punish you for a crime of treason!"

Zhang Ning raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth became more and more curved: "Empress, please do whatever you want, Zhang Ning can't ask for it."

Xie Daoqing paused, gritted his silver teeth, and forcibly endured it.I can't let my husband see Zhang Ning, otherwise... my husband really can't let go.

Seeing that Xie Daoqing was silent, Zhang Ning rarely changed the subject kindly and said: "If I don't stay here, how can Your Majesty feel at ease?"

Xie Daoqing was taken aback.

Zhang Ning continued: "Your Majesty really doesn't know where I am? Your Majesty is not interfering in the Jianghu affairs. You must have guessed that I am still staying in Lin'an and can restrain the people in the Jianghu." Speaking of this, Zhang Ning said With a low smile, he said to himself: "Your Majesty is His Majesty after all, did you expect Zhang Ning to help you wholeheartedly?"

Xie Daoqing was startled, and what he was thinking was, did the husband know that he had gone to Zhang Ning?As soon as his thoughts changed, his red lips parted slightly, and he wanted to say something, but his mouth was sealed by Zhang Ning's words: "Empress Empress, you are too careless, Princess An was here just now."

"You knew it a long time ago? Why didn't you remind me earlier? You still have to tell me so much!"

Zhang Ning smiled, with a little anger: "I... did it on purpose."

Xie Daoqing was so angry that he really wanted to slap Zhang Ning in the face.

"Empress, don't deceive yourself. With your intelligence, you naturally understand that His Majesty has long known about your coming to the prison to find Zhang Ning. Since he chose to turn a blind eye, I will give him another look." Pour some oil to make the fire burn more vigorously, so as not to have time to cross the river and tear down the bridge, don't say that Zhang Ning is unlucky, it won't be fun if I get tired." Standing up with a smile, Zhang Ning waved his hand and said: "The empress is hospitable, Zhang Ning is in his heart I understand. It’s just that you don’t want to send it off, you should think about how to explain it to your husband, I know the roads in the palace very well, so I won’t bother the empress to see you off in person!”

Coming out of the palace and just returning to the other courtyard, "Zhang Ning" sighed to the man in white who was sitting in the other courtyard: "She is really a little girl! Xiao Ning, maybe tomorrow, your Majesty's precious daughter will say There will be rumors that the queen is having an affair with you..."

The man in white shattered his teacup and snorted coldly, "Murong An, you made a foul."

Murong An laughed and said, "Everyone. Xiao Ning, Emperor Song has bound you for too long. Do you still remember how to fly?"

But Princess An saw her mother sitting alone with her father's guards, saying something she couldn't understand at all, just when she was about to step forward to ask clearly, the man in black gave her a half-smile, which made her Feeling chills in his heart, he turned and ran instinctively, wanting to run to daddy's side as soon as possible to be at ease.

Su Ruochen was dealing with political affairs in the imperial study room at this time, and Princess An was hesitating outside the imperial study room. Fang Ai felt that the princess seemed to have something to say, and was hesitant to consider whether she should enter the palace. It happened that Yue Shan left from inside. When he came out, his eyes lit up, he leaned over and greeted Yue Shan: "My lord, Jin An. I wonder if the official family is free?"

Yue Shan said: "Eunuch Fang has something important to report to His Majesty?"

Fang Ai said: "Princess E, the princess is walking back and forth over there, I don't know if there is anything important."

Yue Shan said with a smile: "Your Majesty's love for Princess An is well known in the world. The princess is always sensible, so this visit should not be an idle matter. Eunuch Fang might as well go in and report."

Fang Ai got the order, as if he had taken a reassurance, he strode in without stopping at all.Seeing Su Ruochen looking at her, Fang Ai's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said: "Officials, Your Highness the Princess is wandering outside the palace, I don't know if there is anything to report."

When Su Ruochen heard it, her guess was uncertain, her face remained unchanged and she said, "Bring the princess in."

Fang Ai saw that Su Ruochen's expression remained unmoved, and felt apprehensive, and immediately said: "Yes." Then he quickly backed out.

After a while, Fang Ai walked in with Princess An.With a gentle smile on her face, Su Ruochen gently picked up Princess An and signaled Fang Ai to go down by herself.

After Fang Ai left, Su Ruo said softly, "Why did the baby come to Daddy? Do you miss Daddy?"

Princess An's mouth pursed, and she buried her small face in Su Ruochen's arms, her two little hands tightly grasped her father's clothes, as if only in this way could she feel at ease.

Su Ruo lowered her heart and asked, "What happened to the baby? Why don't you tell Daddy?"

Princess An's voice came out from Su Ruochen's arms in a muffled voice, "Daddy, I saw my mother and Uncle Zhang together... Uncle Zhang is suddenly so scary..."

Uncle Zhang?Su Ruochen raised her eyebrows, how could her daughter call Zhang Ning like that?Has there been any close contact between the two of them?Zhang Ning has been by his side all the time, even if he is out of his line of sight, he has gone out of the palace gate, and the baby has never been out of the palace except for the time he took her out with Xie Daoqing... Could it be, back then When Zhang Ning protected the baby from the palace...

After calming down, Su Ruochen asked again: "What's wrong with Uncle Zhang?"

Princess An said intermittently: "He has become so scary...he doesn't know the baby anymore..."

Su Ruo's eyes narrowed slightly, she comforted her daughter a few words, then sat down as usual, and didn't mention it anymore, as if she didn't know it at all.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yurui first reported the results of the trip to Jiangling, went through the official route, and then was praised by Su Ruochen, and returned to the list after the reward.

After discussing some trivial matters, Su Ruochen glanced at Yue Shan and signaled that it was time for him to appear.

Yue Shan understood, and came out and said: "The Kingdom of Jin sent envoys to ask our Great Song Dynasty to restore the annual tribute, and let your majesty submit a form to honor him as a minister."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall.Since the fifth year of Su Ruochen's accession to the throne, Great Song has canceled the yearly tribute to the Kingdom of Jin. For this reason, the border between the two countries has been tense for a while, and only on the premise of several victories of Great Song, combined with the six princes of the Kingdom of Jin Wanyan Honglie's dealings made Jin Zhangzong Wanyanjing decree to form a brotherly state with Song Dynasty, to communicate with each other, and no one mentioned the matter of annual tribute.

After a long time, he raised his eyebrows and elated. Now that Jin Guo wants to bring up the old story again, how can it not make people angry?So before Su Ruochen could speak, there was a voice of condemnation from below.Su Ruo watched with cold eyes the officials at the ranks who were either shocked, angry, or vacillating, without revealing anything on their faces.

After the quarrel was over, after scanning around, Su Ruochen nodded lightly to Zhao Yurui, and the latter immediately understood, and came out and said, "Your Majesty, my younger brother thinks that Jin Guo didn't honor the agreement and made such a move." Despicable things, if my Song Dynasty just tolerates it, people will think that I am a bully! Why don't we send troops to the Kingdom of Jin to show our country's prestige?"

Yue Shan and others also echoed: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

The corner of Su Ruochen's mouth raised a gratified smile, but only he could understand how sincere this smile was, or how many strange thoughts were hidden in it.

"I am very pleased that all my lovers have such intentions. Since there is no objection, Yue Shan, go and take down the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, and sacrifice the flag tomorrow!" Su Ruo coldly glanced at some civil servants who hesitated to speak. With one glance, he swallowed the words that were on the lips of the latter again, and then said again: "It's just, who should be the candidate for the expedition?"
