Vol 3 Chapter 15: Flattered (one more)


Su Qing didn't expect that the emperor would also recognize this string of Buddhist beads, wondering why Ye Chang asked him to bring this string of Buddhist beads back to Beijing for the emperor to see.
The emperor walked two steps back and forth in the study, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "The thing about the crossbow arrow that Patriarch Ye was intercepted on the way, the Northern Zhou army who invaded Yanbei saw the same crossbow arrow, and now you encounter the same clever crossbow arrow in Qiufeng Mountain. , And found out that he actually had a weapon storehouse hidden in the barren hills of the East, and now the Qiufeng Gang at the Slaughter Hejian Station found his belongings, and waited for him. Isn't he really intending to rebel?"
Su Qing said nothing, thinking about the person of Xiangjun Wang was really unexpected. For so many years, his reputation as a virtuous king of the East is actually a hidden evil.
The emperor walked back and forth in the study for a while, and after smashing something angrily, he barely suppressed his anger.
Su Qing secretly thought that the emperor was not easy for so many years. For many years, he was suppressed by the Queen Mother and the Xu Family. Now the Queen Mother and the Xu Family have regressed, and the affairs of the King of Xiang County have come out. It is nothing more than pure political party fighting. Now it is a real internal worry. foreign aggression.
The emperor looked at Su Qing, he was holding his chest, his face turned pale, and he looked very weak, thinking that if he hadn't been saved by Ye Chang, he would have suffered this time. He eased his breath and asked, "How is your injury?"
Su Qing hurriedly said, "It's okay to walk around. If you want to ride a horse and shoot an arrow, I'm afraid you will have to raise it for a few more days."
The emperor nodded and said, "The situation is dangerous, and the rivers and lakes are more dangerous. Fortunately, Ye Chang wants to go to Yanbei. I know that his temper is not strong enough to stop him. He happened to save you when he passed through Hejian County. It is also your luck. . But now that surviving a catastrophe is still a trial, it may not be a bad thing, and you must be more cautious when you deal with a case next time."
Su Qing nodded again and again, "This time I have underestimated the enemy, and I have not been safe and cautious. I have failed the emperor's important task."
The emperor shook his head, glanced at the string of Buddha beads placed on the royal case, and said with sorrow, "I am also to blame, for such a big case, there are not enough manpower assigned to you, no one to help you, leaving you alone in the danger, which made you almost lost. Fate. If this matter was done secretly by the King of Xiang County, you would not be able to beat him when you are a fledgling young man. I have misunderstood him for many years, thinking that he is a brother of the same clan, and he must be as loyal to the country as King Rong’an. I was wrong. How can he compare to King Rong An?"
Su Qing couldn't answer when he heard that, so he didn't say anything.
The emperor was furious for a while, and waved to Su Qing, "I know about this, Ye Chang's suggestion is right, this matter can only be temporarily suppressed, let him remember, it is not suitable for investigation at this time, you first go back to the house to recover. After getting hurt, come to me and walk in the imperial study for the time being."
Su Qing was startled. Didn't expect the emperor to arrange him to walk around in the royal study room? This is something that many children can't ask for. By staying with the emperor, you can get closer to the center of the court. At present, for the military commander's Su family non-civilian officials, it is an errand that can be said.
Although this errand was not so good, it was not as good as his grandfather and the prime minister wanted to recommend him to the imperial academy for training before being promoted. However, the emperor's hand-picking was obviously to put him in a heavy use in the future, which is also a good thing.
He hurriedly covered the wound and knelt to thank you.
The emperor stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief, "I heard that you were almost killed by poisoning. Madam Su was worried to death. If it weren't for the Wang University scholar to stop him, she might have ran to Hejian County. You go home soon. Well, she might be coming into the palace again later!"
Su Qing nodded, and thanked her again to stand up and exit the Imperial Study Room.
After he left the imperial study room, he originally planned to go out of the palace. The grandmaster Yan Gonggong next to the Queen Mother came to invite him and said that the Queen Mother would invite him there.
Su Qing was stunned for a while, looked at Father Yan, and asked wonderingly, "Father-in-law, are you sure you did not find the wrong person? Did the queen mother invite me to her old man's house?"
Grandpa Yan said with a smile, "Sir San, yes, yes, the old slave will not hire the wrong person. The queen mother heard that you have returned to Beijing to enter the palace and sent a slave to invite you over."
Since the Queen Mother had requested, Su Qing naturally couldn't refuse, nodded, and followed Father Yan to Ci'an Palace.
As he walked, he wondered what the Queen Mother was looking for, so he tentatively asked Father Yan, "Father, what do you want from the Queen Mother?"
Father Yan smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, the third son, it's not a bad thing. The queen mother just heard that you were injured. Please come and see you."
Su Qing was even more puzzled when she heard the words. Seeing that father-in-law Cong couldn't ask anything, she simply gave up.
When I came to Ci'an Palace, the queen happened to be there, and the queen mother was chatting with the queen.
After Yan Gong made a report, the Queen Mother invited Su Qing in.
When Su Qing saw the queen mother and the queen, she rallied, and just about to ask for peace, the queen mother waved her hand with a smile, "I heard that you are hurt, so you don't need to salute." After the words fell, he kindly ordered, "Come here. , Hurry up and show the third son Su a seat."
Su Qing was a little flattered, and he beat the drums in his heart. He knew that the Queen Mother was not kind to everyone. He had always carried the honor and air of the Queen Mother. Now he is kind to him like an elder, and he felt that he was not looking at him for a while. The injury is so simple.
Someone brought in the seat and helped Su Qing to sit down.
After Su Qing sat down, she was quite uncomfortable for a while, pouring tea and pouring water to the maid waiting for melons and fruits. In the past, when the Su family was in the countryside, there were not a few servants in the mansion. The work of serving tea and pouring water was all done by themselves. Back in Beijing, although the Su Mansion was crowded by many people in the palace and the mansion, they took care of themselves. I'm used to it. I don't like being surrounded by people, so I naturally sent it to the outer courtyard. There is only a small servant by his side. Su Fengnuan is even more unused. Only Mrs. Su is next to a few hand-in-laws, compared with other Jingzhong For the ladies of the various residences, there are far fewer people around Madame Su.
Although he felt uncomfortable all over, he learned that Su Fengnuan did not show it, waiting for the queen mother to question him.
The queen mother first asked about his injury, Su Qing answered one by one, it was about the injury, and Ye Chang could not help mentioning it.
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "The Ai's family also heard that Ye Shizi was going to Yanbei when he was out of Beijing. Originally, the Ai's family thought that he was already ill and his injuries were still unhealed. The Yanbei Road is far away and the mountains and rivers are far away. It's still a good thing to think that it happened to be rescued by your poisoning and injury."
Su Qing was ashamed and authentic, "The first time he handled a case, he was entrusted by the emperor, and he needed Ye Shizi's rescue. I am really ashamed."
The Queen Mother laughed, "The Aijia knew that Ye Shizi went to Yanbei for your sister. If the prince hadn't had an accident on the day of the Baihua Banquet, he and your sister might have been married by the imperial decree. He should also save you."
Su Qing didn't know what to say for a while. He always felt that his sister was protecting Ye Chang and that kid really made him feel uncomfortable. He wanted to embarrass Ye Chang everywhere, but her mother and sister were protecting him. If it weren't for him, he would have been They all went to the King Yan to report, and this time I inherited his favor, and I won't even mention embarrassing him in the future.
He thought to himself that Ye Chang concealed it strictly. It seems that the queen mother still doesn't know that Ye Chang has obtained the marriage decree. To be precise, he is already his prospective brother-in-law.
The queen spoke at this moment and said with a smile, "Although it is a coincidence that Ye Shizi is a coincidence, but it is also said that the third son of Su had a great luck and great luck, so that he could avoid a disaster."
The queen mother nodded, "That's right."
Su Qing listened to both of you and me, and there were words to praise him in and out, and he was even more puzzled.
After the queen mother asked about his injury, after saying a few words about Ye Chang, he praised him a few more words, and then asked him about the case of the Hejian Station, which is related to the king of Xiangjun. Don’t say it, Su Qing said conservatively. The Qiufeng gang was bloodbathed because of his serious injury and a major case. It could not be found out for a while, and it has been reported to the emperor, asking the emperor to decide.
The queen mother nodded after listening, saying only that the gangs on the rivers and lakes are all rash generations, and most of them are doing evil. It is time to punish them properly, otherwise these people will become more and more brazen and do not know the king's law.
The queen also went along, saying that the arena is sinister.
Su Qing could only nod his head, thinking that it would be better to investigate if only the Jianghu gang was involved, but the Xiangjun King, the King of the East, was involved.
The empress dowager’s mind was obviously not on the case. After only asking questions, she told him to get up and let him heal his injuries carefully. Don’t be careless. There are good medicines in the palace. She will send Father Yan to Su Mansion later. Young, although the first time the case is not very smooth, but it is also a training. Don't be discouraged. People who have just entered the court will have to experience some stumbling and stumbling.
The queen mother is like a loving elder, Su Qing thought, if his father had not separated from the Yanbei Su family, his grandmother should be like this...
He sounded very ashamed, but he could only nod repeatedly.
After the Queen Mother gave the order, the Queen gave him another order. After he sat in Ci'an Palace for more than half an hour, the Queen Mother stopped talking. She mentioned that Mrs. Su must be waiting at home in a hurry, and then smiled and waved her hand and ordered Grandpa Yan to send him off. Out of the palace.
Su Qing came out of the Ci'an Palace, and felt that one foot was deep and the other was shallow, in the cloud and mist. She didn't understand what the Queen Mother meant when he called him over today. Could it be that the Su family was so honored that she made the Queen Mother care about it?
If so, it's not a good thing...
Obviously, the Queen Mother had ordered Grandpa Yan to prepare medicinal materials and filled a car full. Grandpa Yan drove the car personally and sent Su Qing out of the palace.
Su Qing felt deeply along the way that it seemed that not only the court and the arena were sinister, but the harem was also sinister.
