Thinking

Emperor Su looks easy to talk, but he is actually very powerful. If he wants to clean up the court, he will do what he says.

Emperor Su has always had a very complicated attitude towards Xiao Zhi. He has never recognized Xiao Zhi's character, and he has the generosity and regret for Xiao Zhi that the elders look at the younger.

If you talk about monarchs and ministers, once the Pei family fell, all the gods and shadow guards in the court would belong to Xiao Zhi's command.It is very taboo for a family to dominate, but Qi Si knew that Emperor Su had no doubts about employing people, and he could trust Xiao Zhi with such great power.

Maybe there have been some changes in Yan Kingdom's court recently, but the news from King Rong didn't mention the cause, only the current situation.

This purge involves a lot of things, Xiao Zhi was taken in in the first wave, it can be said that the means are thunderous and decisive, and the momentum is unstoppable.

It was very difficult for the Jin State to vindicate the old case of the Xiao family's former clan, and the Yan State locked up Xiao Zhi. Emperor Su's attack was sudden, and no one might have expected it in advance.

Did Emperor Su change his mind, fearing that Xiao Zhi would only be in charge of the power of the shadow guard?

Could it be that someone used deceptive tricks to provoke Emperor Su and Xiao Zhi?

Qi Si believed in Emperor Su, and also believed in Xiao Zhi and King Rong. Because of this, in such a situation, he was thousands of miles away and suddenly felt powerless.

"I... have to go to Changyu." Qi Si rubbed his forehead, then rested his head on Yuan Feng's chest, feeling very stuffy.

Yuan Feng understood Qisi no matter what, he didn't say anything else, he stroked Qisi's acupoints properly with his fingertips, and spoke softly: "Of course, the peace agreement has been finalized in the past few days, I will accompany you there."

Qi Si's identity is very sensitive, and he wants to go back to the Yan Kingdom, and he will meet the emperor again. This trip must first pass the test of Emperor Hongjia.

"Your Majesty, the old case of the Xiao family has been brought to light, and now the descendants of the Xiao family are imprisoned in the country of Yan for no reason. This matter is not good for our dynasty, and it also damages the friendship between Yan and Jin. I am thinking of going to the country of Yan to find out about it. "Qi Si brought it up respectfully and methodically, and when facing Emperor Hongjia alone, he called himself a minister.

Emperor Hongjia looked at him twice more, and every time Jisi asked for something, he seemed to be thinking about Emperor Hongjia and Sheji, so that he had no chance to refute, and his neither humble nor overbearing attitude could make any mistakes, but he always had some doubts in his heart , and couldn't figure out where this ungraspable weirdness came from, it could only be attributed to his own debt to Qisi and Rui Chuliang, so when facing this child, his mentality was inevitably different.

"Let's go, this matter is really difficult to handle, so we can only do it this way." Emperor Hongjia thought for a moment and finally agreed, Xiao Zhi's sudden imprisonment made him really suffocated and helpless.

Qi Si is the best candidate for the transition between Jin and Yan, and no one else can replace him. His experience determines this.

Yuan Feng handled the peace talks neatly, and he and Qi Si left quickly without a single servant. If manpower was needed along the way, Lieshan Beizong would be on standby at any time.

As soon as they arrived in the country of Yan, the people arranged by King Rong in advance welcomed them into the customs. They rushed along the way and arrived at Changyu.

Qi Sidun felt kind, Yan Guohuang didn't have a spying eye everywhere, and he didn't have intricate clan roots, he felt that the air here was much lighter.

Yuan Feng found that he had become much more comfortable, and couldn't help but feel distressed. In Jiangliang, it seemed that he was controlled by a net of heaven and earth every day, and no one could be free.

Before seeing King Rong and Jiang Xunyan, Emperor Su, who heard the news, brought Qi Si into the palace first, as if he was robbing someone, and Qi Sifu was taken away as soon as he entered the city, and walked in the palace. I haven't recalled the taste on the corridor of Zhongzhu Wall, so I can't help but laugh.

Yuan Feng was also invited, and walked around the corner of the palace building side by side with Qi Si, half-jokingly said: "Your Majesty really misses you very much."

Emperor Su came out upon hearing the sound, stood at the gate of the hall and looked at Qi Si who was coming, with a smile on his face, joy that he had not seen for a long time: "It's hard to see this time, and finally came."

Qi Si quickened his pace, bowed to Yuan Feng, smiled and said: "It's my fault, I have to come back often in the future."

Emperor Su patted him on the shoulder, looked carefully, and his smile deepened: "This is very true, but you must do what you say, otherwise Gu will have to write a letter to Jiangliang."

As soon as the words fell, a distant voice with a smile said loudly: "Brother Huang came out halfway, and it was very easy to cut Hu Li."

It was King Rong and Jiang Xunyan who entered the palace after hearing the news, and they just rushed over.

Qi Si smiled and ran to meet the two of them, Jiang Xunyan remained gentle and elegant, and said with a smile: "Young people grow up fast, and they are different every time they meet."

Qi Si was happy in his heart, seeing these close people seemed to feel at ease, but he was also sad: "Sir, I have been on the battlefield, and..."

Jiang Xunyan nodded. The two of them kept everything in silence. Jiang Xunyan also knew about Rui Chu, and they felt the same.

King Rong put away the folding fan with a smile, looked Qi Si up and down, and said with emotion: "It doesn't hurt in vain, this child is becoming more and more likable." He didn't complain to Emperor Su: "It's too likable and tricky, and it's not easy to go all the way. Welcome back, there are so many people rushing to see you."

Emperor Su took it for granted: "Gu didn't let you come, didn't you see it too?"

King Rong was speechless, and dragged Qi Si into the hall, and Qi Si reflexively raised his hand and dragged Yuan Fu onto him, making Emperor Su laugh.

Everyone sat down, like a family, reunited after a long absence, warm and happy, thinking about how to ask Xiao Zhi about things for a while.

Fortunately, King Rong was warm-hearted and started the conversation: "Brother Huang, speaking of it, it's not easy for the child to come back. Anyone who wants to see has to meet, right?"

Emperor Su glanced at him, and asked back: "Oh? Anyone, come and see?"

King Rong spread out his fan with a "wow", slapped it twice, leaned over, and said, "Everything else is easy to talk about, but some people... it's hard to see now!" He raised his hand again. I don't know which direction the fan is pointing, "The cell is airtight, and even a bird cannot fly out. Through the thick wall, you can't see the outside from the inside, and you can't see the inside from the outside... Tsk tsk, how can this be seen?" Woolen cloth?"

Emperor Su lost his temper with this younger brother, and Qisi, Yuan Feng, and Jiang Xunyan were also amused. Emperor Su pointed to King Rong and said, "Don't be a prince with your mouth, you won't make less money if you go out to tell stories. .”

Looking at Qi Si again for a moment, he said: "Just kidding, I don't know what happened to your trip, because of Xiao Zhi's matter, right?"

Qi Si nodded frankly: "Your Majesty must have a plan, but I don't understand why Xiao Zhi was suddenly imprisoned. It is not a trivial matter to issue an imperial edict. Could it be that he made some mistakes?"

Emperor Su waved his hand: "He has always been reliable, otherwise Gu would not have always sent him to guard you before."

Qi Si was very confused, but for a while, he didn't know what to say, and only looked at Emperor Su suspiciously.

Emperor Su looked around at the few people in the room, and said: "Forget it, look at you. This time I want to clean up some people, but it's not him."

The few people in the room are not ordinary people, after Emperor Su said this, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood what was going on.

Qi Si blurted out: "The Sun family..."

This time, among the courtiers who were swept into the prison by Emperor Su, after careful screening, it was found that most of them were related to or close to the Sun family in Nanjun.

The Sun family has been rooted in Nanjun for a long time, and the military power in their hands has quietly expanded several times. This intricate network of relationships is a serious problem.

Sudi's seemingly invisible and sudden purge this time actually targeted the Sun family, and the others were either pulled to muddy the water, blur their vision, or be beaten casually.After Sun's house was cleaned up, the accompanying performers left safely.

That being the case, even if the other supporting actors don't know what they committed, Xiao Zhi should know that Emperor Su arranged it, but he is in the imperial prison, and if he wants to act like he has been "cleaned up", naturally he cannot tell others the truth at will.

Jiang Xunyan said indifferently: "Your Majesty has far-sighted plans."

Yuan Feng couldn't help looking at Emperor Su, he was sure of doing this, Emperor Su was really powerful, this plan was decisive and bold, and it was guaranteed to win in the end.

Qi Si was worried and suspicious all the way, and when he got this answer, he couldn't help being a little distracted, and he was confused when he was concerned. He had also guessed about this situation before, but he was somewhat uneasy, so he still had to come here.

Now he relaxes, thinks wildly, and wants to ask Emperor Su if everyone is treated the same when they go to prison, and whether it will be too hard.

King Rong didn't care about the unreasonable sesame millet in the court at all, he closed the fan, patted it on his hand, and said in surprise: "That's an imperial prison! Brother Huang, Xiao Zhi is in it, he won't really be punished Right? You don’t need to be so realistic, do you?”

Emperor Su sneered: "Don't worry, a bit of suffering is unavoidable, and the imperial prison is not my own, so let him really suffer the punishment but it won't happen."

Only then did King Rong and Qi Si heave a sigh of relief. You must know that if the imperial punishment was real, it would be more cruel and inhumane than the method used by the shadow guards. For this reason, there would always be ministers who would criticize the imperial punishment as a punishment, which is unreasonable. , Reverse the trend of torture.

The Imperial Prison has been rectified many times, but it is still very frightening when mentioned outside.

Jiang Xunyan said with a smile: "Your Majesty dragged Xiao Zhi in this time, not just to handle the affairs of the Sun family, but also to bring His Royal Highness back?"

Emperor Su was very generous: "That's natural, otherwise, for the sake of the Sun family, why would Xiao Zhi be imprisoned and tortured."

Qi Si suddenly understood, neither was she laughing, nor was she surprised.Sudi did this, and Qi Si had a legitimate reason to come back. Thinking about it this way, Qi Si couldn't help but feel a little sour and very warm.

Yuan Feng raised his hand and shook his hand, with a smile in his eyes: "I miss you very much."

Qi Si gently shook hands, looked at him and laughed, then looked at Emperor Su: "It's my fault, it's been so long since I left."

Emperor Su said softly: "Where is it, you can't get away. I just watched you get busy with the war. It's better to come to Changyu for a while. Jiangliang is probably more tiring than the battlefield."

These words almost went to the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't help laughing with some coquettish meaning: "That's not true, there are not many people I know in the city, and everyone I don't know is staring at me. I'm still used to it." here.

Emperor Su was very helpful: "Exactly, I will stay here for a while when I come back, and I will release Xiao Zhi as soon as possible, so don't worry about it every day."

Everyone is trustworthy to each other, and they are all the same people, they got along well, and they chatted with Emperor Su for a long time without knowing it. In the evening, they had dinner with Emperor Su.Qisi was naturally left in the palace by Emperor Su in the evening. Although King Rong and Jiang Xunyan were reluctant to give up, they could not rob the emperor. It’s better when we were young, but now that we grow up, why do we get further and further behind in the row?”

Qi Si was so teased that he couldn't help laughing, Emperor Su had no choice but to let both Jiang Xunyan and King Rong stay in the palace, so as to save whoever suffered, as if he had taken advantage of the emperor's prestige.
