The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1854 Quandang Comes Back
Along the way, the two of them were not in the mood to observe the scenery along the way, except for hurrying.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the Su Quandang Jiankang Military Region fought fiercely against Kaifeng Mansion, and then the soldiers of the Xianglong Military Region, Feilong, and Feitian took Kaifeng, and rumors were already raging.

Even Changsha folks are talking about this matter, and even taking the Su family has become a hot topic.

The same is true for Zhao Dongting Xuansu Quan's return to the imperial city.

In fact, the vast majority of people did not know Zhao Dongting's intention to suspend troops on the front line, and the strange thing was that not many people complained about Su Quandang's injustice.

It's just that many people said that although Su Shuai had meritorious service in breaking the Kaifeng mansion, but the emperor declared him to return to Beijing for punishment, so there must be a reason for him to be punished.The emperor can't be wrong.

The officials of the imperial court knew the inside story, so they would not have any doubts about Zhao Dongting's will.

Another few days.

night.

There is rain and there is wind.

The lanterns hanging on the promenade in the palace swayed endlessly with the wind.

There are guards patrolling everywhere.

The entire imperial city was always airtight.

This is still only a clear whistle, if you count the hidden whistle, then you don't know how many people there are.

As time got closer and closer to Su Quan's return to Changsha, the guards in the palace became more and more strict.This is naturally to guard against Kong Yuanzhou.

Zhao Dongting had a deep fear of Kong Yuanzhou.

He even set up a "temporary anti-assassination team" for Wu Dingtang, the Imperial Forest Army responsible for the security of the palace, and the Imperial City Guards guarding Changsha to target Kong Yuanzhou.

There are as many as dozens of generals who have made plans and analyzed how to arrange bright and dark sentries in response to Kong Yuanzhou's assassination.

"emperor."

Eunuch Liu had just left the imperial study, but now he came in again and said to Zhao Dongting, "Su Shuai... Su Quandang is back. See you outside the palace."

"came back……"

Zhao Dongting raised his head and said, "Then let him come to see me!"

"Yes."

Eunuch Liu agreed, and walked outside again.

About two quarters of an hour later, Su Quandang appeared outside the imperial study.

The eunuch outside the door said: "Your Majesty, Su Quandang asks to see you."

Eunuch Liu appeared at the door again, looked at Su Quandang, who was still drenched in dust, and sighed: "Shuai Su, the emperor let you in."

Su Quandang laughed when he heard the words: "Su is no longer a marshal, but my father-in-law just calls me by my name."

As he spoke, he strode into the imperial study room.

Entering the back room, knelt down on the ground, "The sinful minister Su Quandang kowtowed to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhao Dongting didn't look at him, just waved his hands: "Everyone else go out..."

Eunuch Liu and Zhang Polu hurriedly agreed, walked out of the imperial study and closed the door behind them.

"Get up!"

Only then did Zhao Dongting turn to Su Quan and said, "You're so drenched, why don't you go back to the house to rest first, it won't be too late to see me tomorrow..."

Su Quandang pressed his forehead to the ground, and said: "It's not too late for the guilty minister to return to the mansion later."

"Ah!"

Zhao Dongting sneered, "You disrespected the order on the front line, such a serious crime, how do you know that I will give you a chance to go back?"

Su Quandang raised his head and said: "Even if the emperor wants to kill the guilty minister, he will first let the Department of Justice of the Ministry of Military Affairs convict the guilty minister, won't he?"

"Others, perhaps."

Zhao Dongting said slowly, "But you followed me from Naozhou Island, and Yue Peng is the right-hand man in our army. I really don't want you to go to the Law Department."

Su Quandang lowered his head again, "The guilty minister has the high expectations of the emperor."

Zhao Dongting tapped his finger on the table and changed the subject, "About the disobedience and attack on Kaifeng Mansion, what else do you have to explain?"

Su Quandang said: "The guilty minister did not explain."

"Aren't you afraid that Kong Yuanzhou will come to kill me?" Zhao Dongting said with a slight frown.

Su Quandang replied decisively: "The guilty minister expects that Kong Yuanzhou has no such determination."

"So you wrote a letter to me, and then attacked Kaifeng Mansion on your own initiative!"

Zhao Dongting stood up and raised his voice sharply, "You are right, Kong Yuanzhou should not have the guts to kill me, but have you ever thought that he has the guts to kill my queen, my concubine, my My prince and princess, he has the guts to kill any royal relatives, important ministers of the country, and generals in the army. You have given me time to prepare, but how do you want me to prepare? Do you want to hide all the ministers? No?"

"You said... If someone dies because of you, and you want me, how should I deal with you?"

Su Quandang raised his head slowly, and said: "The criminal begs the emperor to deal with the criminal according to the law of the country, but please let the emperor spare the criminal's life."

"Why?"

Zhao Dongting frowned.

Su Quandang said: "Because the life of the guilty minister is still useful, if Kong Yuanzhou wants to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, the life of the guilty minister should be his best choice. The Kaifeng mansion was captured by the order of the guilty minister. He killed the guilty minister. It can vent anger, and it can also warn the Holy Majesty and the generals in the army not to cross the thunder pool easily. Killing criminal officials is more effective than killing anyone else."

Zhao Dongting's eyes showed a little surprise when he heard the words, he looked deeply at Su Quandang and said, "You have already thought about these things?"

He was surprised by Su Quandang's foresight.

If Su Quandang has already thought about this point, then he is really innocent.

After learning about Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Dongting actually thought about it too.If Kong Yuanzhou really wanted to take revenge, the most likely way would be to kill Su Quandang.

To put it bluntly, this is a game between the two sides.In chess, it is impossible to check at the beginning, but you may eat my rook, and I may eat your cannon.

Su Quandang didn't speak.

Zhao Dongting said again: "So, do you think it's worth it?"

Su Quandang said: "The guilty minister thinks it's worth it."

During those days in Songcheng, he was really about to be driven crazy by the deep sense of guilt in his heart.Even if it is death, it is a relief for him to be able to go down and accompany those brothers who died in battle.

Everyone will probably have such a time in their life when they know they can't do it.

Zhao Dongting sighed softly, and said: "But now it seems that Kong Yuanzhou may not necessarily want to kill you. If he wants to kill you, it will be very difficult for you to kneel here again."

Su Quandang's face changed slightly when he heard the words, "The emperor means..."

Zhao Dongting said: "I called you back to the imperial city in a hurry after I knew about the Kaifeng Mansion. One of the reasons is that I was worried that Kong Yuanzhou would target you. If he wanted to kill you, even if you were in the Kaifeng Mansion, you might not be spared." Difficult. Second, you have prepared for the worst. Even if you die outside, it is better than dying in Kaifeng Mansion. At least you can suppress the news so as not to cause great turmoil in the army. Before the decisive battle, we will I don’t want any turmoil in the frontline army.”

Su Quandang was moved again, "Your Majesty, are you planning to launch a decisive battle?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "With Kong Yuanzhou here, the decisive battle is now in the hands of Yuan Chao."

As he spoke, his brows became tighter and tighter.
