The imperial court sent 7,000 soldiers to fight against the rebels in Huainan, but now there is no trace of them, let alone disappearing together with the rebels. At a time, thousands of speculations lingered in everyone's mind, only one kind of speculation flashed repeatedly in the hazy blank that couldn't touch the bottom, gradually became clear, and was about to come out.
"Luoxin Mutiny!"
With a certain word in the hall, Yue Yuxuan stepped out and continued: "Your Majesty, this is all too obvious. My Daxia army is well-trained and has always acted under the tiger talisman. If it wasn't for the order of the person holding the tiger talisman, how could the whole army appear. Are they all missing?"
Most of the officials nodded in agreement. Lu Shi also agreed: "Indeed, even if it was raided at night, some of the 7,000 people should have survived. Not to mention the traitor, who disappeared is really confusing."
"If it was Luo Xin's betrayal, then there is nothing to be confused about." Yue Yuxuan said, "He worked hard to disguise these days in Chang'an, maybe it was to gain trust, so that he could steal secrets and troops from the imperial court to Huainan rebels. "
Several courtiers couldn't help but said, "It has long been said that he is the remnant of the King of Huainan, and bringing him back for appointment is to lead the wolf into the room!"
"Exactly. Besides, our Ministry of War is full of military secrets, and I don't know how much he knows about it. Once it is grasped by the rebel party, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Why do they all think that Luo Xin rebelled," Xu Yin, the minister of military affairs, suddenly said, "No matter what, Luo Xin was brought back from Huainan by Master Su personally." His tone was neither yin nor yang. kind of hint.
Su Shiyu's expression was indifferent, he glanced at it without any disturbance, and did not speak.
Several Soviet Party officials hurriedly defended him, "Your Majesty, Ming Jian, Luo Xin's appearance is really deceiving, and Master Su was just innocently deceived!"
A Chu Party official sneered, "Will someone like Master Su be as easily mistaken as we are?"
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Shi was greatly dissatisfied, and said, "Do you want to say that Lord Su deliberately let Luo Xin enter the court? Do you want to say that Lord Su is also responsible for Luo Xin's affairs?"
"Master Lu, don't be impatient." Xu Yin said, he looked at Chu Mingyun, "No one in the court knows as much about military affairs as Master Chu, how does Master Chu think about it?"
His words were very clever. Although the two sides were tit-for-tat at the moment, the Su Party was at a disadvantage after all, and Su Shiyu was silent again. At this time, only one sentence from Chu Mingyun was needed to suppress it, and the Su Party would definitely be powerless to resist.
But Chu Mingyun frowned when he heard the words, and glanced impatiently, "I chose the person who went on the expedition, what do you think I can think?"
Xu Yin's expression suddenly changed, he opened his mouth and couldn't answer, so he had to retreat to his seat.
Unable to grasp the attitude of the two parties, no one among the officials dared to speak without authorization. The hall, which had been arguing fiercely just now, was quiet in a blink of an eye, and the incense mist of the royal stove lingered silently.
Li Yanzhen sat in the upper seat and glanced down with a headache. After a long while, she finally broke the deadlock, "What Xu Aiqing said also makes sense, Chu Aiqing might as well talk about it."
"My minister has no opinion." Chu Mingyun said simply, seeing everyone looking at each other in dismay, and then said again, "No one knows what the situation in Huainan is.
When his words fell, Su Shiyu sighed lightly, walked to the hall and knelt down, "Since Luo Xin was recommended by the minister, and this happened, the minister will naturally be to blame. The minister would like to go to Huainan in person to find out the reason and hope Your Majesty's permission."
Chu Mingyun turned to look at him, his eyes fluctuating.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yanzhen had no choice but to nod, "Okay, I will feel at ease in this way, I just have to work hard for Su Aiqing to work again and again."
"The duty of the minister." Su Shiyu said flatly.
Chu Mingyun suddenly came out of the queue, knelt down next to Su Shiyu with his robe up, and said, "Since the situation in Huainan is turbulent and unstable, and the whereabouts of the rebels are unknown, I hope Your Majesty will allow the minister to go with Lord Su to rectify the military affairs in the southern border."
Su Shiyu tilted his head to look at him in surprise, Chu Mingyun was still looking at the superior, his expression was at ease, but the corners of his lips twitched slightly after receiving the answer.
After the meeting dispersed, they walked out of the golden hall, and Su Shiyu asked, "Master Chu has so many good generals, why do you suddenly want to go to Huainan to assemble troops?"
"Don't you want to go there in person?" Chu Mingyun smiled. He glanced at the person beside him, and suddenly seemed to sigh, "I just didn't expect that Master Su really didn't mean to defend Luo Xin at all."
Su Shiyu smiled lightly, "What Lord Yue said is the most likely situation, why should I defend him?"
"Oh—?" Chu Mingyun laughed incredulously, "I have long been a person who has to be hands-on with everything, and it's hard to trust anyone, but I didn't expect Master Su to even trust the person he chose to appoint."
The mist outside the hall is beginning to disperse, and the royal willows are misty. Su Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "Frankly speaking, my vision of knowing people is not very good." He paused and changed the subject lightly, "But there are some good things about Huainan after all. The rebels remained hidden and the fighting was suspended, King Xiling was able to breathe and stabilize, and the situation stabilized, and I hope there will be no more turmoil until we reach Huainan."
Chu Mingyun said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Even if there was no turmoil before, we should have it when we arrive in Huainan."
Su Shiyu looked at him, "What did Master Chu mean?"
"Master Su still planning to go with the convoy?"
Su Shiyu asked inexplicably, "How about otherwise?"
"When the convoy arrived, soldiers opened the way, and the government greeted you. What you can see is just an appearance that others want you to see." Chu Mingyun said slowly.
"Then what are your plans, Master Chu?"
"You promise me first?" Chu Mingyun said with a smile.
"You talk about it first." Su Shiyu said.
Chu Mingyun stopped and turned to face Su Shiyu, "Let the convoy go on the road as usual, and we will set off first with our hidden identities." He leaned closer, raised his hand to put on Su Shiyu's shoulder, and Su Shiyu's fingertips circled around his shoulder with a strand of ink on his shoulder. , hooked his lips and whispered, "It's just you and me, how about it?"
With a strong smile, the ending is ambiguous and long.
Su Shiyu raised his eyes, and his eyes were gleaming.
Under the palace corridor, Gong E cautiously called 'empress' a few times, and Jiang Yuan slowly took her eyes away from the pair of figures in the distance. After a moment of gloomy expression, she smiled silently and continued to walk towards Xuanshi Hall.
The veil in the hall was covered again, and it was silent. Li Yanzhen relaxed and leaned back on the chair, looking tired. When she saw her coming, she only waved and didn't speak. Jiang Yuan walked around behind him knowingly, and gently pinched his shoulders for him, also frowning tightly, not saying a word.
Li Yanzhen looked back at her in confusion, and smiled: "I'm worried that Huainan can't be peaceful, but you look like you have something more troublesome than me?"
Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook her head.
"What happened?" Li Yanzhen asked.
Jiang Yuan looked at him, and lowered her eyes again, "My concubine is only a woman's opinion, I don't know if I should say it or not..."
Li Yanzhen was completely intrigued, and said gently, "But it doesn't matter."
After pondering for a while, she said cautiously: "... Your Majesty, do you think that Master Su and Master Chu are getting too close?"
Involuntarily remembering the picture of the two kneeling side by side in the golden hall, Li Yanzhen frowned and did not answer. Jiang Yuan glanced at him, and then slowly continued: "When the concubine came just now, I inadvertently saw what Master Su and Master Chu were talking about. The two of them were very close, and the concubine couldn't tell who Master Chu was. It's not that I really hug Master Su by the neck, and I don't dare to look at it. Just now, I suddenly remembered the rumor in Beijing that Master Chu broke his sleeve in Su..."
"I understand what you mean." Li Yanzhen interrupted her, her tone was still gentle and gentle, and Jiang Yuan hurriedly kept silent.
After a moment of silence, he sighed lightly, "The Su family has supported me for many years, and Su Aiqing is even more like my elder brother. I am afraid no one can match his loyalty. Besides, the Su Party has been for me for many years to check and balance the government and the opposition, and it is private to him with the Chu Party. In terms of betrayal, he will never do so.”
"But..." Jiang Yuan was about to say something else, when Li Yanzhen suddenly reached out and covered hers, and asked, "Do you remember the theft of the keys to the Tianlu Pavilion during the Winter Solstice Ceremony?"
Her heart skipped a beat, and Jiang Yuan lowered her eyes to hide the panic, "...The concubine naturally remembers it."
"At that time, all the Aiqings were suspicious of you. I said that I believed in you, and I would never pursue it again." Li Yanzhen shook her hand, "Therefore, since I said that I believed Su Aiqing would not be suspected of betraying the monarch, go to Don't bring it up again after that."
Jiang Yuan replied in a low voice, "...Yes."
"Why did the young master agree to him?" Butler Su Yi stared at Su Shiyu who was packing the books and couldn't accept it. "Then the Captain Chu is acting in a strange and unpredictable way. He wants to go to Huainan with you alone. There is no guarantee that there will be a conspiracy!"
Su Shiyu put the Yingrun chess pieces back into the box one by one, and smiled lightly, "I have my own measure. There is Su Bai on the side of the convoy, you don't need to worry about it, just contact the DPRK and China as usual."
This meaning cannot be changed, and Su Yi can't say it anymore, so he has no choice but to respond.
The faint noise of human voices passed through the window. Su Shiyu looked sideways. There was a clear water in the pond not far away, and several people were busy, "What are you doing over there?"
Su Yi took a look and replied, "Young master also knows that the rare flowers and plants that were planted in the past were taken care of by the madam. After the madam passed away, the people did not know the tricks and could not maintain the dexterous appearance before. By this year , I really can't survive, and my subordinates will be sent to clean up."
Su Shiyu nodded, stared at the rippling green waves, and suddenly said: "After the dry pond is cleaned up, you don't have to bother to find the previous one, it's better to plant something else."
"What does the son want to change?" Su Yi asked.
"... Lotus." Su Shiyu suddenly remembered a little sandalwood, and smiled, "Red Lotus."
