Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 151 Cruel Su Guiyuan

When Su Xian was thinking about it, Su Guiyuan finally came back.

As soon as he entered the door, Su Xian noticed that Su Guiyuan's eyebrows were furrowed, and there seemed to be a lingering sadness between his eyebrows, and he would sigh from time to time.

Only when Su Xian and her mother Wu Xiu looked at her, they pretended to be fine and forced a smile.

Su Xian felt a little guilty just looking at it. Why didn't those people take action? Why don't you push it yourself and speed up the progress?

Watching my father go on like this every day, I am afraid that after a while, I will really feel sad. Think about it, when he wakes up every morning, he feels like there is a heavy burden on his head, but he cannot tell others about it.

At home and in Chaojingyuan, I lived a life of fear. I couldn't even sleep well at night. At least my mother mentioned it several times during meals. She woke up several times and looked at Su Guiyuan with his eyes open, which was scary. Wow, during these days I also went to many doctors to prescribe some sleeping aids.

Just when Su Xian was thinking about how to get Jiang Wei, who was secretly responsible for this matter, to urge him.

"Xian'er..."

Su Guiyuan looked haggard. He was fine when he was busy in the past few months, but now when he is free, he really feels that he is about to be in disaster.

"That's not the case." Su Guiyuan shook his head. He was obviously very cautious and thinking, "My father wants to invite some servants."

Su Xian nodded subconsciously.

"How many days will it take for him to come back?" Su Xian asked.

"Being a father always feels like it's not enough." Su Guiyuan shook his head and said: "It's a pity that we are not a wealthy family. It would be difficult for us not to ask them to die, but even to protect you in times of crisis. Those people who come for profit will also leave for profit. ”

"In addition, you have been preparing recently to see if you can leave the city..." At this point, Su Guiyuan sighed again, "But you already have a name on the head of the main hall, how can you run out? Alas..."

Su Xian glanced at Su Guiyuan in surprise, but he was quick.

But if he is allowed to return to Beijing, it will really be the end!
"No! We still have to adjust it!"

"I can't tell if this is because I'm being careless." Su Guiyuan shook his head, "But when he comes back this time, my father is hesitant. Should he be allowed to enter Beijing? Or should he be sent to Nanzhili before he enters the country?" Will he be transferred to Peiping and find another opportunity later..."

Su Xian knew this feeling, just like the robot's hook when playing games. If it doesn't come out, it will always be scary, but after it comes out, it can be acted upon.

"That's it!"

"The longer I don't come out, the more anxious I will be as a father."

People's joys and sorrows are inseparable from each other. Su Xian was still planning the future just now.

Su Xian turned around and was about to speak, but found Su Guiyuan letting out a long sigh.

Finally, Su Guiyuan made up his mind, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "Transferring to Peiping, there are frequent wars, it would be reasonable if..."

He seemed to be frightened by his idea, but looking at his son, he became more determined to make this decision against his will.

"Well, listen to me first." Su Guiyuan obviously thought about these things, not just once or twice, "Of course it's not a military household, but let them introduce some good people to our house as servants. They all know the basics, and I will teach you some The art of self-defense.”

Su Xian just wanted to refuse. After all, there were people like Jiang Yu around him. In other words, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty was safer than them.

"You still remember those veterans from before, right?"

If Jin Jinglun really comes back, he will definitely be taken in for questioning by someone who is interested. If he can find out something, he will be used as a witness!
But if there is no chance of death, it will inevitably make people more suspicious...

"Besides, with them here, what happened last time won't happen."

"I didn't react. I was afraid that other people would interfere with it. Huh, there is no airtight wall in this world. What's more, five months have passed since the new banknotes were issued in May. The Chaojingyuan still hasn't discovered those things during this period. Paper money.”

This is not a lie, but the current new house does have three housekeepers, five or six servants, an old man as the gatekeeper, and two maids.

"Although there are beautiful faces and golden houses in the book, strengthening one's body is not a disadvantage. As a father, I don't want my son to become a hero who only wants to be famous in the Donghua Gate. But in times of danger, he can decisively avoid or even eliminate the danger. The hero."

"Some time ago, they came to Chao Jingyuan to look for their father again..." Su Guiyuan frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.

Su Xian knew what his father was talking about, "But you have invited several people in the past few months."

"So, I discussed with those people to see if I could let them introduce me. Of course, I don't dare to have too many people, just two or three."

Su Xian turned around in surprise, "You want to invite a military household?"

"I want to exchange money with you again? This time I can't go directly to the bank..."

Only in front of Su Xian could he seem to be able to express the complicated emotions he had experienced during this period.

No wonder this new entry hasn't appeared yet. Could it be that its appearance mechanism is more about "feelings in the heart" than actually sitting still?

The father's idea was to transfer him away again. Speaking of which, Jin Jinglun was transferred to Shaanxi to look after the bank for no reason last time. Could it be that his father also took action?

Su Xian was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what his father was thinking.

Thinking of this, Su Xian started to look forward to it again.

"It's best not to come back!" Su Guiyuan's eyes were sharp, but he quickly softened, "Of course nothing can happen. My father always feels that since the news about him spread last time, some people are staring at my father, no matter where he is. All!”

But Su Guiyuan had already begun to feel that disaster was coming.

However, this kind of mysterious entry was precisely the reason why Su Xian was able to dominate the officialdom. Once upon a time, when he first wrote a memorial to the emperor, it was precisely because of his existence.

Su Xian wanted to persuade, but it could be seen that the other party was really anxious.

At that time, disaster will come to your own family.

But now Su Guiyuan is hesitant. If he is transferred to Peiping before he returns to Beijing, he may really be aroused.

But Su Guiyuan didn't know this, "That's it."

"Then Jin Jinglun from the Mint Department..." Although Su Xian has been paying attention to their game progress these days, he is not unfamiliar with this name. "Don't he know too much himself?"

Just as he said, Su Guiyuan stood up and walked decisively towards the door.

He is the envoy of Chaojing Academy, although he is of fifth rank.

However, due to the complete control over Chao Jingyuan, the six ministries of the country and even the prime minister of Zhongshu Province were unable to penetrate and interfere, and could only send some spies.

However, in two years, Su Guiyuan had begun to make some decisions of his own.

That decision may have appeared in his mind too many times. He tossed and turned countless times and stayed awake all night. It was more like a torture of his own heart!

Conscience and ruthlessness intertwined!
In the final analysis, Jin Jinglun was just an innocent person.

From Su Guiyuan's point of view, in order to eradicate the root cause, he had to do something against his will.

When I returned home today, I also looked at my mother and daughter, and my mentality became even more determined.

There was no time to think about it any more.

With this in mind, he left quickly...

Su Xian was stunned on the spot.

He has a complicated heart. Damn it, these people holding the printing plates are so patient. If this continues, his father will become a demon.

While thinking about it, he sighed, wrote a note, looked somewhere and blew a whistle.

After a while, outside the courtyard wall, the sound of someone selling candy could be heard.

After Su Xian threw it out, he immediately lay down on the recliner again.

Think of it as sharpening your state of mind.

……

Soon, Chao Jingyuan.

Su Guiyuan called for the promotion of the Mint Department. This was when he first joined the Banknote Promotion Department. Tian Xiu, the deputy envoy of the Banknote Bureau, once reminded him not to go against Cui Jin, the deputy promotion officer. .

After a series of events, he had already followed Su Guiyuan, and he was one of his own, both covertly and covertly.

"Is Jin Jinglun back?"

Su Guiyuan sat on a chair with serious eyes. After talking about the matter for a while, he turned to the Mint Department, and then turned the topic to Jin Jinglun.

It feels like a business-like, natural thing.

Of course Tian Xiu didn't react, and as for the previous rumors in April, he had long forgotten them. After all, in the past few months, Envoy Su had often gone back and then come back again.

"Envoy, the news just came three days ago. According to the arrangement, he probably just left not long ago, so it's still early."

"Hmm..." Su Guiyuan frowned and said, "But the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi is causing trouble. We have to have our insiders take a look at the bank. Now it's too late to send someone outside. He happens to be nearby, so let him go to Shanxi."

Tian Xiu had no doubt that he was there and nodded immediately.

Su Guiyuan originally wanted him to go to Peiping, but when he thought that Peiping was too far away, he came back from Shaanxi and then changed the map. It made sense to go to Shanxi.

His fingers caressed the brush unconsciously.

Su Guiyuan sighed helplessly. His handwriting was crisp and fast, penetrating through the back of the paper, and the four words had already appeared on the paper. "A last resort"

Then he leaned back on the chair and thought for a long time before finally thinking of something, "I have to ask them for some help."

……

Zhongshu Province.

Li You brought a lot of news, and Hu Weiyong read through them one by one. Until one of the messages, confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he thought of something, and his eyes immediately showed a bright light!

"Jin Jinglun?"

When he mentioned these three words, his face seemed to light up with joy.

"it is good!"

"Su Guiyuan asked him to go to Shanxi again?"

Last time he told Li You to take this matter seriously, but Jin Jinglun was quickly transferred away. Although he had doubts at that time, he didn't think he took anything to heart, but now...

"Prime Minister! There must be something going on here."

At this moment, Li You also looked happy.

If the Su family and his son were separated, it would really be nothing.

The prime minister has ten thousand ways to deal with them, but within the imperial city, Su Xian is related to the emperor and the emperor's eldest grandson, and Su Guiyuan is stirring up trouble outside the imperial city, which is troublesome.

The two academies in the capital are now the biggest new things in the capital, and there is a vague tendency to call themselves a faction!

No one can guarantee what it will be like in ten or twenty years.

In the capital, the prime minister can only use the rat weapon.

Tolerate Su Guiyuan's repeated sins.

Moreover, he seems to be really fair and honest, and no evil deeds have been found in him during this period. In addition, the Holy Emperor attaches great importance to Chao Jingyuan, and the Prime Minister cannot use some small tricks.

However, at this moment, it seemed as if a voice was telling them that the opportunity had come!
"Prime Minister, I will ask someone to secretly send this person back to Beijing."

"Be sure to be faster!"

Hu Weiyong had been in the officialdom for many years, rising from a small person to the prime minister today. His keen sense of smell made him feel like he had found the biggest secret that destroyed the Su family and his son.

"Su Xian, this son, has been playing games with the emperor's eldest grandson and many other distinguished heirs in the past few months. But it seems like a game, but if you think about it carefully, the core is related to state affairs!"

"The truth is that I learned from other channels that the Holy Emperor also attaches great importance to this matter. If he is allowed to continue, all the nobles of the court will have to accept his favor. In another five or ten years, there is no guarantee that the government will not continue to change. , one Yanyin is enough to make the truth stop looking down on them."

"Chao Jingyuan has the same idea. The transaction with the Fan people was extremely smooth. Let those tribes be divided into five for comparison and assessment! They are more powerful than our Ming Dynasty itself!"

"Hmph, what kind of comparative assessment is it? Isn't it the same as this salt merchant's comparison?"

When Hu Weiyong said this, he felt a headache. He finally discovered it.

The two have different approaches but the same purpose.

"Yes!"

Li You said and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute..." Hu Weiyong thought of something again and continued: "In the past, the true identity was eliminated and others were protected. Now it's the other way around. Bring more people. After bringing them back, we can meet the true identity secretly."

"Yes!"

Li You quickly retreated, and Hu Weiyong sat down, "I want to see what you are hiding?"

……

The wait was not long.

On the fifth day after Su Guiyuan and Su Xian discussed those matters, Su Xian met the three people brought by his father.

The one standing in the middle was a dark-skinned young man who looked dull and honest, while on both sides were two teenagers, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Hello, Ambassador! Uncle Liu asked us to come. Just call me Liu Da and the two of them Liu Er and Liu San."

Su Guiyuan looked puzzled. He asked for someone with good skills, not some young boy.

Seemingly aware of what he was thinking, Liu Da hurriedly said: "Don't worry, our envoy, we are not military households, we are all clean-blooded. We have been learning skills from Uncle Liu and the others in Zhuangzi since we were young..."

"Isn't this your real name?" Su Xian suddenly said.

The honest young man rubbed his head and said, "Our names are also chosen casually. They are all names like tiger, son, dog, egg, etc. Uncle Liu said the names are weird, so just call them casually. Names are just names anyway."

As they spoke, they seemed to be afraid that Su Guiyuan would look down on them, so they quickly clenched their fists and smashed them against the tree trunk nearby.

Su Xian was stunned.

The tree trunk shook, and fist marks visible to the naked eye appeared where it was hit.

"Don't worry, Commander, our skills are the best in Zhuangzi."

Su Guiyuan nodded, "Okay, then you can stay at home and follow me. If you follow me, if you need anything for martial arts training, just ask. I can even give you a horse!"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were overjoyed.

"Hello, Master!"

The three of them quickly greeted each other.

"Hello." Su Xian also nodded politely.

Liu Da immediately scratched his head and thought to himself that this young master was very polite.

After things at home were settled, Su Guiyuan seemed to be relieved, his sleep slowly returned to normal, and he stopped sighing.

Su Xian even felt that his father's mood had changed a little, and his whole person seemed to be changing in some directions.

More than ten days later, it was already November, and the weather was severely cold.

There has been snow and wind.

This night.

When Su Guiyuan returned home, he staggered and drank a lot of wine.

He even sang loudly and recited the poems he had read, sentence after sentence, as if he was confronting his inner self.

Finally, I read it out loud...

"If you want to establish yourself, you can establish others; if you want to achieve something, you can achieve others!"

"The supreme leader has established virtues, followed by meritorious service, and the third has established words. Even if it lasts for a long time, this is immortal!"

"However, the behavior of heaven is always there. It will not exist for Yao, nor will it perish for Jie..."

"Great ambitions and great wishes mean nothing, Yao and Shun have gone!"

Su Guiyuan looked at Su Xian drunkenly and said with a smile: "Xian'er, my father has learned a truth. Although the learning of saints is teaching, it is also domestication!"

"What you do is the road!"

“Use it if it’s useful, discard it if it’s not!”

Wu Xiu hurried over. It was obvious that this was the first time he saw Su Guiyuan like this. He was anxious and asked Liu Da and the others to help Su Guiyuan to rest as soon as possible.

However, the latter still pulled Su Xian and suddenly laughed and said:

"Xian'er, you're fine!"

Su Xian was shocked. When his father said this, it was obvious that his inner struggle during this period had completely changed.

And the reason why he said this was that Su Xian also realized something.

……

at the same time.

Li You hurried to Hu Xiang's residence. He didn't care about the wind and snow beating on his body. He just hurried to Hu Weiyong's study with an anxious tone...

He told a piece of news that shocked even Hu Weiyong.

"Prime Minister Hu, Jin Jinglun, are dead!"
