Mo Yu came in from outside the door and saw Mo Cong studying in the courtyard. They had been living in the house of Ruyin Marquis Xiahou Po since they entered the city, which was what Xiahou Po requested. The events in Shangzhou shocked Xiahou Po, and Su
Ren was ruthless and not afraid of anyone, which made Xiahou Po always feel that he was not safe. Since these two Mo family members could save his life, it was best to stay with him. In case Su Ren sought revenge, he would have a helper.
.
Mo Yu added some water for Mo Cong and stood behind Mo Cong without saying a word. After finishing the scroll, Mo Cong put down the bamboo slips and picked up the water bowl: "Have you ever succeeded?"
Mo Yu shook his head: "There were four people in total, and they shot five arrows. One arrow entered the car, and the other arrow was blocked by a guard who risked his life. I don't know if anyone in the car was injured. The guard was not injured."
Heavy."
Mo Cong smiled and shook his head: "You can do such a child's trick, you really think your life is too long!" Mo Yu didn't say anything, Mo Cong turned around and asked: "Can those people be caught?
"
"No, the disciple has taken care of it properly. Please rest assured, Master."
Mo Cong nodded: "By the way, does Su Ren know about this?"
"You probably don't know that Su Ren is still in the palace and has never come out."
"Hahaha! I wonder what Su Ren's reaction will be when he finds out about this? It's best to be furious. Only in this way will Chang'an be in chaos and we will have a chance."
The banquet in the palace was announced to be over as soon as it started because the emperor was out of mood. Everyone didn't know what happened, but they all stood up and left in unison. Su Ren also wanted to leave, but the emperor stayed behind. After everyone finished leaving, Su Ren looked at
The empty Wude Hall was confused.
The emperor waved his hand, and Liu Jiqing quickly bowed and saluted, winked at the chambermaids and maids next to him, and everyone respectfully left without making any noise. Ordinary people could not follow this rule. Liu Jiqing
Walking at the end, after all the other people had left the door, he closed the palace door and stood outside the door with his eyes closed.
Liu Che took a deep breath: "You must be mentally prepared and never act on impulse!"
Su Ren was even more confused: "Your Majesty, tell me frankly, what happened?"
"I just received news that some gangsters were committing murder at the Wuhua intersection. They shot a few arrows and ran away. None of these losers were caught!"
Su Ren frowned: "Who are you attacking?"
Liu Che raised his head and glanced at Su Ren, and after a long while he said: "It was my fault that I failed to fulfill my promise to you and your second wife was injured. But don't worry, I will investigate this matter strictly and will not imprison those people."
I will never give up until I find out! But I hope you can understand that Chang'an today is no longer the same as it was a year ago, and I am trying my best to maintain many things and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Su Ren said nothing.
Liu Che continued: "You should be able to guess who did it, but I hope you can bear with it for a while. When Chang'an settles down, you can do whatever you want with these people! What do you think?"
Su Ren suppressed the anger in his heart and said for a long time: "Your Majesty, I understand your Majesty's difficulties and have my own sense of proportion!"
Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great! My son Heng is no less important than Taizu having a ovary. Ziheng can rest assured that I am not Taizu. We can share hardships and wealth together!"
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."
The two talked for a long time in Wude Hall, and Liu Che talked about the current situation in Chang'an. Since the Empress Dowager Dou became seriously ill, there have been obvious movements in both the palace and the court. The palace, headed by the Empress Dowager,
Many people began to flock to Changxin Palace. Moreover, the Queen Mother had tested the Emperor several times, starting from arranging minor officials. Now many of the nine ministers are from the Queen Mother.
The court was headed by Tian Fu. Although Tian Fu was only a Taiwei, he was also the Empress Dowager's younger brother and the emperor's uncle. As long as the Queen Mother was in power, Tian Fu would replace Dou Ying sooner or later, so more and more people gathered around Tian Fu in the court.
Even the princes outside the Pass sent people to follow Tian Fu's route.
The most irritating thing is that Mrs. Dou also has a tendency to resurrect herself. By virtue of her daughter's status as empress, she interferes in the affairs of the court. Moreover, she has gained the trust of the empress dowager. The mother and daughter sometimes spend the whole day in the Changxin Palace.
When they openly mentioned that they were visiting the Queen Mother, everyone knew that they were trying to fill the Queen Mother's mind. Especially towards Mrs. Wei, not a single kind word came out of their mouths.
Su Ren also gave an analysis to Liu Che. According to Liu Che, Chang'an is now divided into four factions, one is the Queen Mother, the other is Tian Fu, the other is Taizu Dou, and the other is the emperor, and the first three factions are combined into two.
If these people really come together, the emperor's weak body cannot stop them. Mother, uncle, mother-in-law, all of them are close relatives. If they are slightly unsatisfactory and unfilial, they will be the emperor.
I can't afford it either.
Su Rendao: "If your Majesty wants to get out of trouble, you must divide these people. Only by defeating them individually can you be sure of victory. If they collude with each other, there will be nothing anyone can do."
Liu Che sighed: "I don't know, but it is not easy to separate. I have tried many methods, but they have not worked."
Su Rendao: "Among the three factions, Queen Mother Yi is the strongest, followed by Taiwei Tian Fu, and the weakest is Princess Dachang. Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to divide the factions, you should start with Princess Dachang and proceed step by step until only Queen Mother is left.
That’ll be easy!”
"Yeah!" Liu Che nodded: "What can you do?"
"Not at the moment. I will think about it when I get back. I will tell His Majesty in a few days."
"That's fine, something big happened just now. Everyone in the family is waiting for you, so I won't leave you alone. Go back quickly. Remember my words, never act out of loyalty!"
Su Ren suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, is this how you look at me? I was indeed a little angry just now. It will be much better now!"
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."
After leaving the palace, Huang Shisan, Man Niu, Li Danghu, Wei Qing, Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao who stayed in Chang'an were all waiting for him. They came out early and heard about what happened. See Su Ren
When they came out, Li Danghu, Wei Qing, Gongsun He, and Gongsun Ao immediately surrounded him. With Li Danghu as the leader, they tried to persuade Su Ren not to cause trouble as soon as he returned to Chang'an, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
At first, Su Ren said a few words to entertain people, but after talking too much, Su Ren became annoyed and waved his hand: "Stop! Do you think I love causing trouble so much? Don't worry, I won't cause trouble this time."
Li Danghu nodded: "That's good. It seems that His Majesty has told you."
Gongsun He said with a smile: "What did I just say? We, Su Zhonglang, have our own arrangements. It's not interesting to only deal with those few thieves. If you want to deal with them, you'll have to deal with the people behind the scenes! Don't worry, I support you!"
"Spiritually, right?" Gongsun Ao glanced at Gongsun He.
“It’s also morally supportive!”
Su Ren saluted everyone: "Everyone, we are all brothers. Your Majesty has already discussed this matter. Su Ren naturally understands your good intentions. Please rest assured that I will never cause trouble, but this revenge will always be avenged. When the time comes,
I hope you will lend a helping hand!"
"What are you talking about? Looking down on us?" Gongsun Ao said immediately: "I didn't catch up when I went to Kuaiji. This time I have to take action no matter what. You can't all be Taizhong doctors. I'm just a doctor. Standing here
I feel like I’m half a head shorter!”
Wei Qing said: "This is not about promotion, it is about offending people!"
"What's the difference? It's not good for Brother Su, that is, it's for Your Majesty. It not only helps Brother Su to maintain brotherhood, but also protects Your Majesty's loyalty to the emperor. How can we not kill two birds with one stone? Don't worry, Brother Su, when the time comes
I, Gongsun Ao, will take the lead!"
"You are the thief!" Gongsun He said with a bitter smile: "I'm afraid Su Zhonglang has no use for a rough guy like you!"
He told some jokes to make Su Ren feel at ease. After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting dark, Li Danghu quickly stopped everyone from letting Su Ren go home. It would be false to say that Su Ren was not anxious, but the emperor and this
The guys all had good intentions, and I felt bad for leaving them behind. After talking for a while, I got on my horse and went straight home.
Liu Gao stood at the door, waiting anxiously. The accident happened while he was escorting several ladies back. He was the most responsible. Fortunately, it was not serious, so he could still stand at the door and wait for Su Ren. If there was something wrong,
, I don’t know how many times he died a long time ago. When he came back in the afternoon, Liu Gao settled down with several female relatives and stood at the door. The sooner he admitted his mistake, the better.
A white horse appeared at the end of the street, and Liu Gao's eyes turned red. When Su Ren approached, Liu Gao knelt down and said: "Sir, this villain is incompetent and failed to protect the two ladies. I will be punished as such."
Apologize to death!"
"Okay, get up quickly, I know what's going on!" Su Ren reached out and pulled Liu Gao up: "How are you, sister?"
Liu Gao wiped away his tears: "Mr. Chunyu, who came back with you, has seen it. The skin injury is not serious, but he can't move his arm for half a month!"
Su Ren finally heard the result from his own people, and he finally let go of his worries, and walked quickly into the yard. The whole Su family was brightly lit, and on the one hand, something happened to them today, and on the other hand, Su Ren had not come back yet.
Hearing the movement in the courtyard, people in the lobby immediately poured out. As soon as Leng Yue saw Su Ren, tears flowed down unconsciously.
Huo Jin and Shi Bao were fully armed and carrying weapons: "Brother, I will gather the troops right away. If you dare to touch your elder sister, I will kill them all to avenge your elder sister!"
He glared at Hawking coldly: "Nonsense, go back!"
Huo Jin did not move and looked at Su Ren angrily. Su Ren comforted Dong Qian for a while and said to everyone: "This revenge must be avenged, but not today. How to avenge it? Naturally, one blow will hit it, so that it will never be punished.
Turn around, since they have lost their bottom line, we will use the most powerful tricks, wait a few days, and deal with the matters at hand, making their lives worse than death!"
The people in the courtyard who followed Su Ren from Shu County all had red eyes. They could rebel as long as Su Ren gave the order.
Dong Zhongshu stood on the steps and coughed: "Just come back and go see Leng Yue! The others have dispersed. Let's talk about anything tomorrow!"
Su Ren stepped forward to salute Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang. Dong Zhongshu was okay, Wen Dang's eyes were wet, and he helped Su Ren up: "I feel better and more energetic. The biggest gain in my life is having Zi Heng as my disciple!"
