After Su's carriage entered the capital, Mrs. Su didn't even enter the gate of the residence, and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage directly to the palace.
The carriage came to the gate of the palace, Mrs. Su was waiting at the gate of the palace, and Su Qing entered the palace alone.
When Su Qing came to the imperial study, Koizumi informed the inside, and the emperor heard that he had returned so soon, and announced him to enter the imperial study.
Su Qing knelt down to pay respects, the emperor saw that he looked good, waved his hand to him, motioned him to excuse him, and asked, "How is the injury? Is there any serious problem?"
Su Qing shook her head, "Going back to the emperor, the injury is almost recovered, and there is no serious problem."
The emperor looked at him and said, "I urgently order you to return to Beijing. I have an important matter that I want to entrust you to do. You may travel a long way? Are you injured and not afraid of running around?"
Su Qing was prepared in her heart, and immediately said, "Don't worry, your majesty, my injury is not serious, and the wound has already healed. In a few days, riding and archery will not be a problem. Traveling is a trivial matter, and it can be done."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, that's you."
Su Qing said, "The emperor just orders."
The emperor said to him, "Before the Northern Zhou Dynasty invaded Yanbei, the King of Xiangjun went to Yanbei, and later, before the war in Yanbei, he detoured to the west and went to Jiangnan. Now Jiangnan is in chaos. I went back to the Eastern Realm and pretended to be sick, saying that I was in poor health. After discussing with Prime Minister Sun and University Scholars Wang, I sent an imperial envoy to bring an imperial doctor to the Eastern Realm to visit him. People choose to come and go, and you are the only one who is suitable."
Su Qing lowered her head when she heard the words, "I can leave immediately."
The emperor waved his hand, "No hurry, I have something to explain to you."
Knowing that the emperor sent imperial envoys to the east, Su Qing naturally did more than just visit the king of Xiangjun, so he nodded and said, "I will listen to the emperor's instructions."
The emperor said, "When you arrive in the east, you don't have to do anything. When you see the queen of Xiangjun, you will accompany the king of Xiangjun to recuperate. When will the king of Xiangjun recover from his illness? Do you understand what I mean?"
Su Qing pondered for a while, then said, "The emperor means to let the minister go to the east to see the King of Xiangjun?"
The emperor nodded with a smile, "That's right, Yanbei is waiting to be restored, the western region is raising troops, and the south of the Yangtze River is in great chaos. At present, only the eastern region is stable, and there will be no more accidents in the eastern region. What I mean is that since the king of Xiangjun claims to be sick, then, After you go to the Eastern Region, please take good care of him on behalf of me, don't let him take the opportunity to make any more plans, stabilize him first, there are many things in the government and the opposition, after these things are dealt with, I will take care of him."
Su Qing nodded, "Don't worry, your majesty, this time I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."
The emperor patted Su Qing on the shoulder and said, "The eastern border is dangerous. Since the king of Xiangjun dared to build weapons in secret, he has the ambition of a wolf. The plan is big. I will send an imperial forest army to accompany you, and secretly send light military guards to protect you. You can also choose some of the guards of the Su Mansion to bring along, and besides, I will send someone to inform Fengyang that he is secretly investigating the affairs of the King of Xiangjun in the eastern border, and I will send someone to send a message, and you will take care of each other."
Su Qing should be.
After the emperor finished his explanation, he ordered someone to make a draft, appointed him as an imperial envoy, took two imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital, and set off for the Eastern Territory early tomorrow morning. He dispatched five hundred people from the Imperial Forest Army to accompany him, and ordered the imperial pharmacy Prepare a batch of high-quality medicine, and go to the east with him.
Su Qing took the emperor's imperial decree and left the imperial study room, but still met Eunuch Yan who was waiting in front of the queen mother.
When Eunuch Yan saw Su Qing, he quickly greeted him, and said cheerfully, "Mr. Su's injury is healed? The Queen Mother knows that you have returned to Beijing. Please go to Ci'an Palace for a seat."
Su Qing thought in his heart that the queen mother was really thinking about Princess Shuya's recruitment of a son-in-law, and she didn't miss any gaps. She even blocked him at the door of the imperial study. He secretly sweated, but he didn't show it on his face. He bowed his hands to Eunuch Yan, and said apologetically, "The emperor urgently ordered me to return to Beijing. I have something important to do. I have just received the emperor's imperial decree and I want to leave Beijing immediately. I am afraid I will delay the emperor's errand. If there is nothing wrong with the queen mother, So I asked my father-in-law to help me accuse the Queen Mother, and I will go to Ci'an Palace to pay a visit to the Queen Mother after I return to Beijing."
Eunuch Yan was taken aback. Ever since the head of the state retired, the uncle Xiaoguo entered the court, and the queen mother and empress sealed the palace once through Ye Chang's investigation, the news of Ci'an Palace is not as good as before. Naturally, he didn't know that the emperor urgently ordered Su Qing returned to Beijing to send him out of Beijing, he asked tentatively in a low voice, "The emperor urgently ordered the third son to return to Beijing, where does he want to send the third son?"
Su Qing didn't hide anything, and said, "As an imperial envoy, I will go to the east to visit the King of Xiangjun."
Eunuch Yan immediately asked, "In such a hurry?"
Su Qing said, "Because my injury is not yet fully healed, I was afraid of delaying the journey along the way, so I left earlier so that the King of Xiangjun could benefit from the emperor's grace early."
Eunuch Yan nodded when he heard the words. The queen mother has spent her entire life in the palace. Although she is a woman in the harem, she used to interfere a lot with government affairs in private. Now that the husband is getting old, she no longer interferes in private. It was a court affair, but the king of Xiangjun did not come to Beijing for her birthday banquet due to illness, the queen mother still felt that something was wrong. As a close friend of the queen mother, Eunuch Yan knew something sensitively. So, he hurriedly said, "Since this is the case, the court affairs are the most important thing, and the Zajia will go back and report to the Queen Mother, Luyao in the east, the third son must be careful all the way."
Su Qing cupped her hands, "Thank you, Eunuch!"
Eunuch Yan left and returned to Ci'an Palace, Su Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried out of the palace.
Outside the palace, Mrs. Su was waiting for him in the carriage. After Su Qing got into the carriage, she immediately questioned him. After Su Qing told the truth about seeing the emperor, she mentioned that the Queen Mother sent Eunuch Yan to call him to Ci'an Palace , was shirked by him on the grounds of leaving immediately, it seems that he really wants to leave immediately.
Mrs. Su didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be so impatient when she took a fancy to Su Qing, and said to Su Qing worriedly, "You are leaving immediately, your physical injury is not healed, and you have to travel long distances, can you bear it?"
Su Qing stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, "I can bear it, your son is very strong, like a cow, and the journey of a thousand miles is not a problem. You can rest assured."
Mrs. Su laughed, but she still said worriedly, "The king of Xiangjun is cunning, you have to be careful when you go to the east, now Nuan'er and Xiaoshang are in Yanbei, if something happens to you, they can't save you."
Su Qing nodded solemnly, "Mother, don't worry, you will learn a lot of wisdom. I was too careless about the Hejian County matter. Xiangjun Wang is an old fox. I will play him to death in the east."
Mrs. Su laughed angrily, "Since Xiangjun Wang is an old fox, he has done so many things behind his back for so many years, and he was only discovered now. It can be seen that he has deep thoughts. Mother only hopes that you will be safe and sound, and nothing will happen to you. As for playing with him , you can't mess around."
Su Qing rubbed the palms of her hands, "For so many years, I have always been fooled and coaxed by the little girl. If I say that I am not good at other things, but the ability to coax people can be regarded as good. Mother, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion of."
Mrs. Su nodded upon hearing this.
The mother and son did not go back to the Su Mansion immediately, but went to the Wang University Scholars Mansion first.
Seeing that Su Qing's injury was getting better sooner than he expected, Wang Lu nodded repeatedly and said to him, "The prime minister recommended Sun Zeyu. After all, Mr. Sun is not good at martial arts. If he is sent to the western region, he may suffer a disadvantage. After thinking about it, I still think it's appropriate for you to go, don't you just want to hide from the Empress Dowager and the Queen's choice of son-in-law? This trip to the Eastern Region will take at least a month, and at most a few months, just take advantage of this time, think of a way, and hide. "
Su Qing nodded again and again, "Grandpa, you are very wise to recommend me."
Wang Lu told him again, "Although the eastern border is peaceful now, the king of Xiangjun pretends to be sick. As an imperial envoy sent by the emperor, when you arrive in the eastern border, as long as the king of Xiangjun doesn't turn against the emperor for a day, you will die in a day." Your honored guest, but there is no guarantee that the eastern border will suddenly change, and the King of Xiangjun will hold you hostage to seek turmoil, so you must protect yourself, and you must not have such dangerous things as the Qiufeng Mountain in Hejian County happen again."
Su Qing nodded, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I must be extremely careful."
Seeing that he had gone through the bloodbath at Qiufeng Mountain in Hejian County, Wang Lu had gone through the gate of hell and grown up a lot, so he stopped talking and let him out of Wang Dashi's mansion and back to Su's mansion.
On the same day, Su Qing packed up, took the precious medicinal materials given by the emperor to the King of Xiang County, five hundred Yulin soldiers and one hundred guards from the Su Mansion, left the capital, and set off for the Eastern Territory.
Sending imperial envoys from the central government to the eastern border to offer condolences was not a small matter, but it was much smaller than Xu Yunchu's preparation of food, grass, and military pay. All eyes were focused on Xiao Guojiu and the western border's grain, grass, and military pay.
Su Qing, the imperial envoy, did not make much noise when he left the capital. Many people who knew the news but didn't know why felt that the emperor loved the King of Xiang County too much. Now that the government and the public are busy, the emperor still has a mind to send someone to go. Visit the King of Xiangjun.
But think about the war in the north, and the war in the west. It is said that the south of the Yangtze River is not peaceful. The Ye family is in chaos, but the land in the east is peaceful. Knowing that he is sick, it is also appropriate to send imperial envoys and imperial physicians to the east to visit.
After all, the emperor has been thinking about brotherhood all these years, and he has always thought about the king of Xiangjun.
On the second day after Su Qing left Beijing, Su Fengnuan's letter was sent to Lingyun Temple quickly, and when he learned that Su Qing was going to the east, he quickly followed the route along the way.
Two days later, they caught up with Su Qing's team.
Su Qing received Su Fengnuan's letter, and immediately opened it. After reading it, she took a breath, thinking that thanks to Ye Chang's thorough thinking, otherwise her father would have made outstanding achievements, the emperor would have no rewards, no official titles ? How can I get rid of the marriage again
After carefully reading Su Fengnuan's letter twice in a cold sweat, he was sure that he read it correctly. Sun Qingxue was mentioned in her letter. Find out the pen and ink, pick up the pen and write back to Su Fengnuan.
