The country is not as pretty as the beauty

In the second year of Yonghui, Su Dao, the champion of Xinke, married Princess Xincheng.

When the imperial edict was issued, the people of Dasu did not exclaim much, which is obviously something that has been seen through.

But Zhengzhou didn't make arrangements, and didn't even let Su Dao enter the court.

Di Huaiying was arranged by him to go to Bingzhou, as for Su Dao.

Before becoming a son-in-law, the emperor's edict poured cold water on Su Dao.

He had already compromised, and agreed to marry the princess, but Zhengzhou threw her to Xianyang, the old capital of Chang'an.

A place far away from the Eastern Capital.

The news reached Tian Wuhen's ears, so he was not surprised.

Isn't this the style of Zhengzhou, who thinks he is smart.

The employer was very suspicious, as if he was testing Su Dao's abilities, after all, Su Dao was very young, and Chang'an must be in chaos now.

Li Qiao stayed in Chang'an for half a year. At that time, Chang'an was relatively good. Now that the Li family's royal family has declined, those merchants took the opportunity to dominate the market. Today's Chang'an is already poorer and richer.

Chang'an is the old capital city, and there are many Guanlong nobles and clans. Although Tian Wuhen was in power, he was relaxed, but he was also suppressed. Now that the emperor is down, Zhengzhou has no time to manage Guanzhong, and those clans took the opportunity to rise up.

Chang'an is a tricky place.

Some of the once extinct Turks fled to the west, but now that Tian Wuhen has fallen, they want to come back.

The spies brought back news to Tian Wuhen.

"confirmed?"

"This subordinate has searched all of the Di family and is willing to guarantee it with his life."

Tian Wuhen waved his hand, and the man disappeared.

"Who are you looking for?"

"No. [-] this year!" Tian Wuhen paused, "After all, Zhengzhou's roots are deep, and now he wants to cultivate his confidants, so I have to start early."

"What happened to that man?"

"The Taiyuan Di family is a small clan and has nothing to do with the Zheng family, but I don't know what this person is like!"

"Didn't Zhengzhou throw those champions Tanhua out?"

Tian Wuhen nodded, "Half of the important positions in the court were given to his clan members of the Zheng family."

Su Dao had to wait until he married the princess to go to Chang'an, and the chaos in Chang'an could no longer be suppressed.

The people who couldn't survive in the city were in trouble, and theft and robbery happened everywhere, and all the complaints were filed in Dongdu.

So Zhengzhou asked Shangguanyi to draw up the decree, which was set on the second day of next month.

That is ten days later.

Su Dao is not allowed to enter the court without being appointed as a court official. These days have the false name of a number one scholar.

Li Qiao was busy dealing with the affairs after the imperial examination in the imperial court, and found an opportunity to go to Su's mansion after he recovered.

Li Qiaozhi was also Dasu's pampered son when he was selected for the first exam. The emperor had let him come to Li Yu's mansion.

It was just to warn him.

What a talented person, what a glorious person, has now become an allusion that the kings warned their courtiers.

This place is regarded as unknown by the ministers. After all, Li Yu was executed when he was in his twenties. No matter what, the scholars are willing.

When Li Qiao entered here again, it became the house of a close friend. There are two kinds of people who can live here, the ones the emperor wants to use may be the ones the emperor wants to deal with.

Obviously, Su Dao is the one who will be used. Li Qiao felt bitter for a while, he and the Su family were also considered old friends, the Su family was gone, and Su Yuxin was left, he thought, can't she live a good life.

To come to this muddy water, besides, Su Yunxin is a daughter's family. The former emperor was the king of a country. Because of his daughter's body, he was reviled by all the people in the world and betrayed by his officials.

Therefore, Li Qiao knew that the emperor would not stop here, and he had the means to make a comeback, but the two were completely different.

Li Qiao is very clear about Su Yunxin's temperament. He has been an emperor for more than 20 years and weighed the world for more than [-] years. The world in China has become a prosperous world in just twenty years.

Such a person, how can Su Yunxin compare with her, in Li Qiao's eyes, she is just a stubborn little girl.

At the court meeting that day, Li Qiao didn't make a statement because Zhengzhou was there.

The refurbished Su Mansion is not much more spectacular, it is still very ordinary, as soon as I entered it, I saw dead branches and fallen leaves.

It's the prime of spring now, but the Su Mansion is not alive, Li Qiao looks a little sad.

In the examination room that day, and not long ago in the Taiyuan Hall, he saw Su Yunxin's white hair.

"Master Li?" The housekeeper's surname is Zhang, he is an old man in Luoyang City, and all the ministers in the court know him.

"I'm here to find Su Dao."

"You take your seat first, the master is in the backyard."

Li Qiao gave up, "I'll go find him."

The butler led Li Qiao to the backyard.

The backyard was also barren, but the dead branches and fallen leaves were almost cleaned up, and the smell of soil soon filled the whole yard.

"Is the backyard being renovated?"

The butler shook his head, "The master said that the backyard was wasted in a hurry, and he didn't like the flowers and plants, so he sent someone to move a batch of saplings from Jiangnan."

The soil in the pond has been turned over, it should be some flower seeds.

Li Qiao is really angry, what time is it now, Su Dao's situation and status now, she still has the mind to plant flowers and grass here.

There were some cleaning servants in the courtyard, but Li Qiao quickly found Su Dao among the crowd.

Tsing Yi wooden hairpin, sleeves rolled up.

"Master, Li Yushi is here."

Su Dao clapped his hands, "Li Yushi?"

He moved his gaze away and saw Li Qiao standing in the distance. Su Dao did not catch any accidents, and it was inevitable that Li Qiao would come to him.

Su Dao sighed, gave the hoe to the servant beside him, and brushed the dust off his body.

"He came to scold me~"

The butler didn't know why.

"Brother Jushan!" Su Dao walked over and said with a smile, "Why did Lord Yushi come here when you have time?"

"You still have the face to say, come with me!"

As soon as he walked in, Li Qiao didn't give Su Dao a good look, and angrily pulled her away.

This is in Su Dao's mansion, or Su Dao knew best, she took Li Qiao into the study, and ordered someone to make tea.

After everyone left, Li Qiao became angry, "Why can't you think about it?"

"Entering the court as a woman, are you crazy?"

"There is no one in the Su family, can't you be more stable?"

"You have also seen this court, you are like this now, the position of consort has been decided, who can save you!"

Su Dao felt displeased at being scolded so much by him at once. Although Li Qiao has the talent for governing the country, he is also an elm-headed one.

Under such circumstances, he even said a few words that could kill Su Dao.

Fortunately, Su Dao still has Burial Red by his side.

"I don't need anyone to save me, and I'll be fine. As for why I came, that's my business. Brother Jushan just do his own thing well."

"If you still call me brother, I will be worthy of your brother. You are the only one left in the Su family!" Li Qiao's tone gradually sank, as if begging.

Su Dao could see the anxiety in Li Qiao's eyes. For a long time, he hadn't been looked at by such caring eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. It's not the first day that Brother Jushan knows me, so he should know."

Li Qiao is very clear about the talent of Su Yun's heart, even in this court, there is no one who can compare with her, but this is the court of Zhengzhou, he does not need talented people.

"But this court, you shouldn't come."

"It's because I shouldn't come that I have to come."

"why?"

Su Dao didn't answer Li Qiao's why.

"Is there any connection between you and the king?"

In Li Qiao's eyes, Tian Wuhen is someone he can follow loyally. The emperor is related to the country, and how can it be determined by men and women.

Li Qiao felt that the king and Su Yuxin were somewhat related.

The royal family has nothing to do with the Su family, and Li Qiao also knows that now that he is protecting himself in the court, the king cut off contact to protect him, and he only does what he is supposed to do.

Su Yun paused in his heart, and looked at Li Qiao.

"It turns out that the surname is still Li in this world!" Su Dao couldn't help but smile, but the smile only existed for a short while.

Li Qiao sighed, looking at the white hair on Su Dao's head, "Why do you have white hair..."

Soon Li Qiao stopped talking, and suddenly realized something.

A person who experienced the death of his family overnight, and all his relatives died overnight, at that time, Su Yun's heart might be more uncomfortable than going to death, he can imagine the heartbroken look.

Li Qiao's self-assessment made Su Dao know what he was thinking.

"It's not because of the death of the Su family that my hair became gray. Indeed, I wanted to die at that time, but I didn't!"

Su Dao's words made Li Qiao suddenly confused, "Why is that?"

"I'm on good terms with the princess and you know it!"

It was only then that Li Qiao realized that he knew Su Yun's heart, and he was also an old acquaintance with the Su family. He also knew about the marriage contract between the Su family and Princess Jinyang.

During that year in Chang'an, Li Qiao had a close relationship with Su Dao, and he also helped her a lot in private, knowing more about her.

When he was in Chang'an, Mr. Su would always bring his distant relatives and girls with him, and Li Qiao knew that it was Princess Jinyang.

The relationship between her and Princess Jinyang is extraordinary.

It's a pity that An Guohou's mansion wants to put the Su family to death. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that An Guohou just took a fancy to the Su family's wealth, and he rebelled because he got the Su family's mountain of gold.

In the end, it still failed, and Princess Jinyang died at that time.

But Li Qiao didn't understand. It stands to reason that Princess Jinyang was an accomplice, Su Yunxin's father-killing enemy.

"Until she died, she never wanted to harm me. It is because of her that I can stand here safely and tell you!"

Li Qiao frowned even more tightly.

"Back then, I misunderstood her like everyone else, but now, I always have to do something for her."

"She is no longer here. If she really has the heart, I hope you will be well too."

"I don't want to, when she wakes up, she will see a broken mountain and river, and an incompetent me!"

"What's the meaning!"

Su Dao shook his head, this is a secret, she only keeps it in her heart.

A few years ago, the self was spoiled and arrogant, and the price of growing up was the loss of his true love. Su Dao never forgot Mu Lingrou's words.

In the bamboo forest in the south of Jiangnan City, a woman holds a piano and asks her what she wants.

"What are you going to use to marry me!"

But now, if she wakes up, she will no longer be Princess Jinyang, then Su Dao can truly tell her that he is willing to do anything for her.

Even climbing to places you don't want to.

In the end, she returns to hermitage, and if she can watch the play in Princess Gaoyang's mansion again, she will have no regrets in this life.

The author has something to say: Therefore, the ultimate goal of the second woman entering the court is nothing more than a promise. (There is a trace of the princess not dying in my heart!)
