Su Ren's guilt has not been settled, and the emperor's arrest order has not been revoked, so Su Ren is still not free. But how to arrange Su Ren is a very difficult problem. It stands to reason that before he is convicted, Su Ren is still a hussar general, but the emperor
It didn't say that Su Ren was innocent. Since he was guilty, he should be imprisoned, but because of his status as a general, he couldn't be treated the same as ordinary prisoners.
Tingwei's Mansion and Zhongjun Mansion are not qualified, let alone other yamen. Dou Ying thought about it for a long time: "Then let's lock him up in the Prime Minister's Mansion!" So Su Ren was arranged to a separate room in the west courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the room. This was originally a guest room, and it could be done with a little tidying up. If there were not the dense guards outside the door, others would think that Su Ren was the most distinguished guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I don’t know why Liu Gao was arranged by Dou Ying to take care of Su Ren. He was the big housekeeper of the Su family. For more than ten years, no one had regarded him as the person who took care of people. Now he is back to his old profession, but Liu Gao
He was very happy because he could stay with his master for a longer period of time so that he could make amends. Thinking of following Su Ren until now, Liu Gao felt that these were the happiest years. Even if he died with Su Ren, it would not matter.
.
"Sir, it's time to eat! The Prime Minister ordered it to be delivered from our house. It was made by the two mistresses. Especially the braised lion's head is the specialty of the two mistresses. Even Prefect Wen praised it.
He talks a lot." Liu Gao talks a lot, which was not the case when he was in the Su family.
Su Ren stretched out: "Okay, let's eat together. I can't finish this table. By the way, give these dishes to the prime minister. The two of us can't eat so much."
"How about adding me?" Su Ren was a little surprised that Guan Fu came at this time.
Liu Gao quickly gave up his seat and went to get the tableware for Guan Fu. Su Ren chuckled: "Oh! It's really surprising that Sir Wei Wei wants to see me, a sinner. Please take a seat quickly. Since Sir Wei Wei can
Come on, please tell me that things have changed for the better?"
Guan Fu glared at Su Ren, then turned to glance at Liu Gao, who had just returned. Su Ren said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, Lao Liu is my family, it doesn't matter, sit down, let's eat and talk."
Su Ren ate very deliciously. Liu Gao kept moving Su Ren's favorite dishes to Su Ren. Only Guan Fu was holding a bowl of rice and felt a bit unsatisfied. This was considered a prison cell, so naturally there was no alcohol. It was natural to concentrate on eating quickly.
He was full. Su Ren wiped his mouth and saw that Guan Fu still had more than half a bowl. He smiled and said, "I heard that Sir Wei Wei eats ten kilograms of meat per meal. What happened today? Is it not delicious?"
Guan Fu sighed and simply put the bowl down: "Hey! My brother is going to be killed by those unscrupulous people this time! I have been saying goodbye to my brother in recent days. The people from Heibingtai have gone to Yingchuan, and it is difficult to come back.
Damn it."
"So soon?" Su Ren also sighed: "Didn't I say a few days ago that we were dealing with the Linzi Marquis and the Xiangcheng Marquis? Why did it come to you so quickly? It is said that those two families have a fortune of tens of millions. This time it is true.
How much property does your Guan family have in Yingchuan?"
Guan Fu rolled his eyes and thought: "It will only be more than the Linzi Marquis, but not less than the Xiangcheng Marquis."
"Ah!" Su Ren was really shocked. He thought that his family had a lot of money, but after hearing about the property status of the Linzi Marquis and Xiangcheng Marquis' families, he felt that he was an out-and-out poor man. He didn't expect Guan
The husband's family has more money than the Linzi Hou family. Doesn't that mean they have piled up a mountain of gold at home? Su Ren stopped joking: "What did the Prime Minister say? Is there any way?"
Guan Fu shook his head: "I was the one who caused this matter. I don't want to implicate the Prime Minister. I just ask your Majesty to be merciful and leave a trace of the Guan family's blood. My grandson Guan Qiang lives in Louguan Academy, so I came here to ask for help."
Please look after the Buddha."
Su Ren nodded: "This is natural!"
Guan Fu immediately stood up and was about to give Su Ren a big gift. Su Ren and Liu Gao quickly offered words of comfort. Seeing Guan Fu's stooped back disappearing from the corner of the room, Su Ren didn't know what to say. Although Guan Fu was rude, he was
The most important thing is friendship. I have been friends with Dou Ying for so many years. To be able to openly contradict Tian Fu, who was still the younger brother of the Queen Mother, because of Tian Fu's insult to Dou Ying, is definitely a sweetheart. But it is also because of the importance of friendship that he hurt himself in the end.
Not long after Guan Fu left, there was the sound of fighting in the courtyard. Soon Liu Gao hurried in and said that Huo Qubing, Huo Jin and the others wanted to see Su Ren, but the guards refused to let them go, so a few boys forced their way in.
Several guards were injured and they were already outside the door, just waiting for Su Ren to speak. As long as Su Ren said something, even if there was a little hint, Huo Qubing and Huo Jin would lead people to get Su Ren out of here. As for the consequences, they
not give a damn about.
When Liu Gao came back, Huo Jin hurriedly asked: "How is it? What did the elder brother say?"
Liu Gao said with a serious look on his face: "Sir asked you to go back and said that Your Majesty has no intention of killing him. He asked you to go back and lead the troops properly. We don't want to send out troops again."
Huo Qubing hit the wall with a heavy palm. The thick brick wall shook and almost fell down. Shi Bao sighed: "Sir, he has already thought of going into seclusion and does not want to go to the battlefield again. It is useless for us to say anything. As long as we
We have continued to gain military exploits. Your Majesty, considering our hard work, will not embarrass you too much, sir."
Zhao Ponu was a horse thief. Although he has been in the army for so many years, his habits have not changed much: "It is too dangerous for the general to stay here. We cannot listen to the general this time. Even if we go to fight horse thieves again, we cannot leave you.
"
Xie Zichang grabbed Zhao Polu who was about to rush out and shook his head repeatedly: "It's useless. No one can change what the general has already felt. The general is a loyal minister and a wise minister. Your Majesty can see this clearly. Since the general has already
Having said that His Majesty has no intention of killing anyone, we must not cause trouble. If we really offend His Majesty, it will be very detrimental to the general."
"So what?" Zhao Polu still insisted on his opinion: "The general has made great contributions to the court, but your majesty will punish him just because of a few shit-mouthed guys. This is too hurtful. I will fight outside.
But every time there is a slanderous word in the court, even if you die, you will not rest in peace, which makes people feel cold."
Huo Qubing was breathing heavily and was extremely angry. He said to Liu Gao, "Go tell Mr. I want to see him soon."
Liu Gao shook his head: "Sir, I gave my instructions, but I'm gone!"
When the soldiers from the Zhongjun Mansion arrived, Huo Qubing, Huo Jin and others had just come out of Su Ren's place. They glared at Li Gan who was leading the troops. Li Gan quickly lowered his head. Huo Jin grabbed Huo Qubing and gave him a slight smile.
He shook his head. Li Gan was acting under orders and had nothing to do with his personality. Everyone knew this. In full view of everyone, Huo Qubing and others walked past the soldiers with dark faces and walked away.
Li Gan yelled: "What are you doing in the cold? Seal the courtyard and kill anyone who comes in and out without mercy!"
Facts have proved that Li Gan's words were too loud, or maybe Li Gan's boss' words were too loud. When a large group of people came, even Li Gan hid far away, let alone his soldiers. Han
Anguo and Zhuang Qingzhai were both gentlemen from Louguan Academy, especially Han Anguo, who was a representative of the military strategist and had a very high prestige among the grassroots officers of the Han Dynasty. It could be said that nine out of ten of them were his disciples.
The Zhongjun Mansion is the place where troops and horses from all over the world are deployed, and it is also the place where Louguan Academy sends the most students. Starting from Li Gan, most of the soldiers led this time came from Louguan Academy. Therefore, when Han Anguo appeared
, no one dared to raise their head, allowing these idle people to walk into Su Ren's yard.
"Captain, this..."
Li Gan wiped his sweat and waved his hand: "Forget it, that's sir, you really stopped me! Do you believe that sir will slap you?"
The soldier nodded repeatedly, expressing his belief, which showed that it was not a strange thing for him to be beaten by his master when he was in Louguan Academy.
Su Ren had to meet these people and waited at the entrance of the hospital early. Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang were not suitable to come, so the people who came this time were headed by Han Anguo, Zhuang Qingzhai, and a dozen old gentlemen with white hair.
The emperor also showed his utmost respect, and the stewards and servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion were even more trembling, fearing that they were not taking good care of him.
"Okay, you all can go down! We have something to say with Ziheng, so we don't need to wait here." Zhuang Qingzhai was also a former prime minister, and he spoke with dignity.
Su Ren personally held the cup and poured tea for each old gentleman. In front of these people, he was always a junior, regardless of official position or title, because these people have now been classified as saints. Even if Su Ren appears more humble, he will still be considered a junior.
No one would say that Su Ren was a flatterer. He returned to his seat and poured himself a glass: "I'm so rude, I didn't go to visit these gentlemen, but I asked you to come instead. I really shouldn't have."
Zhuang Qingzhai waved his hand: "Needless to say the reason, the few of us are here today just to chat. I haven't seen you for several years. I heard that you came back to Chang'an to have a look. Instead of talking about government affairs, how about just discussing poetry?"
"Okay!" Han Anguo laughed: "Zi Heng always has excellent poems. Although they are not gorgeous and can only be regarded as short songs, their artistic conception is far-reaching and their thoughts are extremely magical. Unfortunately, I am a martial artist and don't understand it very well. You guys
I know all of them, but I wonder if Zi Heng has any new works?"
The public transport railman waved his hand: "Don't count me out. I'm a carpenter and don't understand poetry."
"There's also me!" Chunyu Yi's face was rosy, and it was absolutely impossible to tell that he was the oldest among these people: "I just want to talk about medicine with Zi Heng, and I don't care much about poetry."
"Hahaha..." Hearty laughter kept coming from the yard, and Li Gan, who was standing outside, let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, fortunately, you will stay here when the gentlemen come out later. I don't dare to let you go."
They see that it is not a good thing to be remembered by a few gentlemen here."
The soldier guarding the gate looked unhappy and looked at Li Gan with resentment: "Captain, I also came from Louguan Academy!"
Su Ren was arrested and imprisoned, but he seemed to be busier than before. Ever since he was imprisoned in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the number of people coming and going every day has never stopped, and they are all untouchable by the Zhongjun Mansion.
Li Gan, a small captain, could not be stopped by anyone. Even if the Zhongjunfu Cheng came, the situation would probably be worse. But what made everyone feel more relieved was that, except for Huo Qubing and a few stupid young men,
Most of the others are old guys with high moral standards, and none of them have any real power in the court. (To be continued)
