Reincarnation of the powerful minister

In the wooden house, after Jing Hong followed up with Su Yan about the conversation between him and Zhu Helin, the feeling that something was wrong before became more and more clear.

"My lord..." He hesitated, but still said, "Do you feel that the little emperor purposely steered the conversation in the direction he wanted?"

Seeing that Su Yan didn't answer, Jing Hongzhui was afraid that the lord would misunderstand her instigating, and further explained: "The lord has not made a clear statement, so he took the initiative to 'go to find out the truth about the king of Yu, and check whether he has the heart of disobedience'." Throw it out, and then say 'absolutely not, absolutely agree', isn't this a radical method?"

Su Yan patted Jing Hongzhui's arm reassuringly, and smiled slightly: "I know, Ah Zhui, I'll know right away."

Jing Hong asked: "Since my lord knows, why do you want to fall into his trap?"

Su Yan stood up, walked to the window, looked at the deciduous mountain peach trees in the courtyard, and sighed softly: "I am responsible for the matter of King Yu."

"Responsibility? Whether King Yu is loyal or treacherous, and whether the little emperor is trustworthy or suspicious, it's all a matter between them, so what should you do with your lord?"

"You don't know, Ah Zhui, that night you and Qi...Shen Qi were waiting for me at the palace way, and I turned back and saw Zhu Helin."

In the study room of Duanben Palace, Zhu Helin turned around and handed Su Yan a note in his hand: "This is what I stuck in when I was flipping through the last policy statement my father gave me to correct."

Su Yan took the half-folded note, opened it, and by the candlelight, he saw clearly the handwriting of Emperor Jing Long on the page:

"The fate of King Yu is related to the stability of the country. We must know that it is easy to let go of a tiger, but it is difficult to capture a tiger. My son is sensitive, so you can weigh your own strength and decide how to deal with it."

Su Yan hesitated for a moment, and asked Zhu Helin: "The young master promised King Yu before that he would help you return to the court, and you let him leave the capital. What does the young master think now?"

Zhu Helin was conflicted in his heart: "Out of commitment and love, I am willing to let Uncle Four Wang leave the capital. But the emperor's consideration is also reasonable, 'It's easy to let a tiger go, but it's hard to capture a tiger'. Recruiting troops, or being supported by the army again, no one can guarantee whether he will have a different heart in the future... maybe even himself right now."

He looked at Su Yan hesitantly: "Qinghe, can you give me an idea?"

Su Yan said: "You are the heir emperor, so you have to make up your own mind. At most, I can only give you advice and make a reference."

"Then you can give me a reference?" Zhu Helin asked unwillingly.

Su Yan smiled slightly, put his hand on his shoulder, and pointed to him the words on the note: "The emperor's intention is here—"

"'Weigh yourself'?"

"Yes. The emperor wants to ask you, do you have confidence in your own ability? If you are worried that you will not be able to suppress King Yu in the future, you can continue to detain him. If you believe in your ability to govern the country, even if the situation changes in the future, you can still calm the world. ability, then let him go."

Zhu Helin thought about it seriously for a long time.

Finally he said to Su Yan: "If I don't even have the courage and confidence to let Uncle Four go, how can I face such a powerful opponent like Yi Zhe?

"Qinghe, I made a promise to you - in the future, I will become a prosperous and famous emperor. I believe in myself."

Su Yan smiled and nodded: "I believe you too."

In the wooden house, Su Yan murmured: "It was I who subjectively interpreted the meaning of the emperor's 'weighing my own strength' with the selfishness of showing mercy to King Yu, and guided He Lin to let him go..."

"No!" Jing Hongzhui said firmly, "This is the little emperor's own choice. He believes that he can restrain King Yu, or in other words, he desires this confidence to prove that he has the ability to rule the world."

Su Yan said: "In any case, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. I must go to the task of secretly investigating King Yu. If King Yu does not change his original intention, then it would be best. I will report to the court and strongly advocate Let him lead the army to fight Beimo; if he has a different heart, I will try my best to persuade him and guide him back to the right path."

"...What if he is stubborn and goes the other way in order to avenge the old emperor and his ambition to seize power?" Jing Hong asked.

Su Yan chased after Jing Hong with his back, showing a miserable smile that no one saw, and said in a low voice: "I will build a cage with my own hands, and then lock him in."

When he uttered the word "cage", it was as if the north wind had pierced his chest.

In this mighty new wind that swept across the world, King Yu sat on the top of the boundary monument of Gyeonggi and laughed loudly: "Okay! At least I am not the only one who is a different kind in the world."

Stretching out his hand to put his shoulders around his body, King Yu pointed the folded whip in his hand to the north: "The past is over, let's look forward. Ahead is the vast northern desert, fierce banners, and rustling horses. That's what I should do." Places to go!"

Let me take you to feel the wind of freedom outside the capital.

You, Conglong's great hero, really think about the new king, but tell him, don't worry!

I don't know where to stay tonight, Pingsha is absolutely inhabited...

Zhu Jincheng, can I believe what you said yourself?If it was possible then, what about now?

The place where it was hugged was burning hot, Su Yan stretched out his hand to cover his right shoulder, and let out a long breath.

After turning around, there was no hesitation on his face, and he said calmly, "Ah Zhui, bring us the map of Shanxi Division, and let's see the fastest route to Datong."

Jing Hong chased out the map, spread it out on the table, and moved her fingertips from Kelan County where they were located to the northeast, passing Ningwu Pass in Shanxi Town, crossing the Inner Great Wall and continuing northwards, which is Datong Mansion.

"From Shangguan Road in Ningwu, you can reach Datong within three days by riding a fast horse, and about four or five days by horse-drawn carriage."

"Can it be faster?" Su Yan asked.

Datong, Huairen County.

Daiwangfu is located in the southwest of the city. After the first emperor ascended the throne, it was renamed Yuwangfu, but the local soldiers and civilians all call it "General's Mansion".

It has been more than half a year since he left the capital and returned to the fief. King Yu saw that Tian'er was not in the mansion, so he either went to the camp to train his five hundred soldiers, or led a team to inspect the border forts and passes.

In the evening of that day, the sky was filled with burning clouds, reflecting the vast plains into a golden red, and the black galloping galloping from outside the city gate, as well as the general in black clothes on horseback, were also coated with a layer of gold.

Hei Qi deftly crossed the streets and alleys, and stopped in front of the gate of the palace. King Yu got off his horse, threw his bow and quiver at the soldiers guarding the gate, and strode inside.

"My lord is back!"

Hearing the servant's cry, Zuo Chang Shi Cui Di hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. The fragrant soup and meals are ready. Do you want to take a bath first, or have a meal first?"

"Bathe first." King Yu said, and asked casually, "Is there anything going on in the mansion these days?"

"It's safe and sound, my lord, don't worry."

"Where are the visitors?"

"There are a lot of people every day. Some people want to make friends with gifts, and some are mysterious and refuse to explain their intentions. The officials said that the prince is not here, and they all declined. By the way, there is another letter, which is locked in the prince's study according to the old rules. in the drawer."

King Yu nodded slightly, took off his cloak and threw it into the hands of the soldiers beside him.

The mansion soldier smiled and added a few more words: "Master Chang Shi missed one thing, and there is also a weird beggar. He insisted on seeing the steward of the palace, saying that he wanted to ask for the three or five silver coins that the prince owed him. Chang Shi The adults looked at him pitifully, and kindly gave him a piece of ten taels of silver, but he didn't appreciate it, so he borrowed a pair of scissors from the opposite shop, twisted off two-thirds and returned them to Lord Changshi. There are still people in this world who think silver is hot. He is either a lunatic or a fool."

Cui Tidao: "It's a bit weird, but it looks like a bit of a mess. Although it's unkempt, it doesn't look like an ordinary beggar."

The king of Yu asked, "Three taels of silver? What does this king owe him?"

The Fubing nodded: "Yes, that's right."

King Yu thought for a moment, shook his head, and walked to the bathroom on the west side of the main house.

The hot water in the bath was steaming white, King Yu didn't need a maid to serve him, so he took off his belt with his own hands, and went to pick off his hair crown.

The golden hair crown was held between his fingers, he suddenly froze, and subconsciously weighed the weight of the hair crown...

"Come here!" King Yu walked out of the door and shouted loudly, "Come here, bring a steelyard!"

He quickly entered the bedroom, took out the brocade box from the drawer of the wardrobe and opened it, unwrapped the silk cloth, revealing a sterling silver Taoist crown in the shape of a lotus flower.The maid hurriedly fetched a steelyard, wondering what the lord is going to do?

King Yu put the silver crown on the weighing pan: "How much is it?"

"...Three taels, uh, three taels and five dollars." The maid looked carefully at the crosshairs on the scale beam.

King Yu rushed out of the house like a gust of wind, looked left and right in the court, and picked out the fussy soldier just now: "Quickly tell me, what does the person who came to beg for money look like? When did this happen? Where did you go?"

The soldiers of the government were startled, and stammered: "A dirty young man, I can't see what he looks like... As for what happened at noon today, he... seems to be walking towards the end of the street, and he doesn't know where he is going..."

King Yu pushed him away, and while running to the gate of the palace, he whistled with his fingers.The Hei Qi in the stable hissed and rushed over, shaking his head and tail.King Yu jumped directly onto the horse's back from the steps, shook the reins and said, "Drive!"

Cui Changshi and a group of palace guards shouted behind him: "My lord! The belt is not tied yet! There is still a hair crown!"

"Quick, catch up! What happened to make the prince so anxious."

Under Cui Changshi's urging, the guards got on their horses one after another and galloped away after King Yu.

The king of Yu rode his horse to the market at the end of the street, slowed down his horse speed, and scanned the pedestrians, shopkeepers, beggars, jugglers, and homeless people one by one with his eagle eyes...

After searching for two whole streets, he was full of disappointment, looking back at the streets and alleys where the twilight fell, thinking that maybe the man was in a dimly lit place, maybe it was just a coincidence, and he was born with a demon due to his obsession... ...In a moment of dejection, his eyes fell on the food stall on the side of the road, and he saw a familiar figure from behind.

The young man wrapped his hair in a bun with a green cloth turban, and his clothes were tattered, so dirty that he couldn't see the original color clearly. He buried himself in eating a bowl of braised mutton noodles.

The man's face is not visible from this angle.But there is no need to look at the face, King Yu is very sure - it is him!

Driving the horse forward a few steps, King Yu bent down and stretched out his arms, grabbed the man's waist and abdomen, and got on the horse's back.The other party seemed to be taken aback, and subconsciously struggled to hit him with his elbow, but he easily held it down.

King Yu lowered his head to look at the stinky and dirty Su Yan in his arms. Thinking of the unparalleled demeanor of the old man, his heart ached and tears almost fell down: "My darling, why did you make yourself look like this?"
