Chapter 2168 1844. Refused to intercede
Chapter 2168 1844. Refusing to plead
Although the pace of attacking Yuan was temporarily stopped at this time, the border was still in a confrontation. It was a matter of time before the war between the two countries, but the emperor wanted to take Su Shuai back and give it to him, which shows how big the matter was. I don’t know how heinous sin Su Shuai committed. With the emperor’s kindness, trust and reliance on Su Shuai, and the merits of the entire Su family, the emperor actually made this decision.
Eunuch Liu always kept the rules in his heart and dared not say much. After several hesitations, Zhang Polu could not help but speak, "Emperor..."
There is still some connection between the Zhang family and the Su family. To be precise, there is some connection between the two family forces.
In the past, Zhang Xi was the Minister of War, and Su Liuyi was the deputy military commander. There were too many places to deal with.
There are so many such "original relationships" in the court. Zhao Dongting was clear about it and never felt that such a thing could be cut off.
And if such a thing can be cut off, the Emperor's art will not be called the "balance art".
"No need to say more."
After Zhang Polu said two words, Zhao Dongting raised his hand and said, "Print an order..."
But in the end I couldn't help it, and my tone was filled with a sigh.
He did not expect Su Quandang to do such a thing. Since the letter had been passed to Changsha, it was time for Su Quandang to take action.
It's almost the same unless Wen Tianxiang stopped Su Quandang.
But Zhao Dongting felt that this possibility was not great.
He knew Su Quandang's temperament, introverted and deep, and such people were often stubborn. Since he had sent a letter to Changsha, it means that he had made up his mind and he must have a detailed plan.
Zhang Polu did not dare to say much, and honestly polished the ink and drafted the order.
Zhao Dongting couldn't see the memorial in front of him, so he closed the memorial and gently tapped the desk with his right hand.
"If Su Quandang takes Kaifeng Mansion, the old eunuch is coming to Changsha City..."
Now the only one who made him afraid of the world was the overly powerful old eunuch. He became stronger and stronger, and he could not even consume his true energy. He was simply the ulcer who could not be beaten to death.
It also has great lethality.
Zhao Dongting had never thought about it before. There was a peerless strong man in this world who could compete with dozens of masters of Wuding Hall. And the old eunuch had the strength to kill them.
Even when he looks back now, he still feels scared. Just from an objective perspective, Zhao Dongting has to admit that even though Kong Qiangu is still alive, he is not as good as this old eunuch.
But how should we deal with this old eunuch?
The imperial study room was very quiet.
...
"Your Majesty, Lord Su is asking for a visit."
Not long after Zhang Polu passed the draft imperial edict to the military aircraft cabinet, such a voice sounded outside the door.
Zhao Dongting raised his head and said to Eunuch Liu: "Preach it!"
"yes."
Eunuch Liu agreed gently and walked towards the door. Then he led Su Liuyi in.
"The old minister Su Liuyi asked the emperor, long live the emperor..."
As soon as he arrived at the inner room, Su Liuyi suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Dongting. In fact, Zhao Dongting had long promised him not to pay homage.
If it were before, Zhao Dongting would have stopped him, but this time, he didn't, just said lightly: "Have you seen my imperial edict?"
"minister!"
Su Liuyi bowed heavily to the ground again with both hands, "Please beg the emperor to take back his life!"
"well……"
Zhao Dongting shook his head and then chuckled, "There are not many things that can make you lose your inch like this..."
Su Liuyi looked up and changed color slightly.
Zhao Dongting said again: "But all the Su family have long regarded Su Quandang as your successor, and I am too lazy to care about you."
He threw Su Quandang's letter to Su Liuyi and said, "You can take a look first, and then decide whether to ask for this love."
Su Liuyi opened the letter with trembling hands, and the more he looked, the paler his face became.
After watching it, I was crying, "Crime...Crime..."
He said these two words and said nothing else.
Zhao Dongting didn't persuade him, but just watched quietly. After being an emperor for a long time, he became more and more clear about some things, and his mentality gradually changed.
When Su Liuyi was almost crying, as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhao Dongting's indifferent eyes.
This made Su Liuyi lower his head quietly again.
Now the emperor is getting more and more angry. Even the cunning he has cultivated through decades of intrigue seems to have been seen clearly in front of the emperor.
Su Liuyi was no longer embarrassed to cry. He looked up again and could only look at Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting also looked at him and said, "Su Aiqing, please calm down..."
Su Liuyi stood up.
Zhao Dongting said again: "Does Su Aiqing still plan to plead for his nephew?"
Su Liuyi's eyes changed and he was silent for a long time. In the end, he still knelt down again but did not speak.
Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "Fate, I think of my past friendship and the fact that your Su family has worked hard and made great contributions, but I will not be able to become an official in the court in the future. Su Aiqing, you can take advantage of the fact that you can train a successor and try your best to train it. It is good to support the Su family. In short, being an official in the court depends on your ability to advance. If your Su family is lucky, you may be able to produce someone who is more suitable for an official in the court than him. Su Quan distorts his character... Forget it, you go down..."
"emperor……"
Su Liuyi listened to Zhao Dongting's words and bowed, "Su Quan committed this serious crime, and it was all because of the old minister's lack of guidance. The old minister was willing to resign and retire..."
"Aiqing Su!"
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Dongting suddenly stood up, "His sin is his sin, and it has nothing to do with you. Don't say anything like this. If you insist on me pursuing your teachings, I will allow you to resign, but I will never continue to leave him Su Quandang as a general in the army. This is a principle and also a bottom line. State affairs, family affairs, why not be light or heavy, Su Aiqing, you are an important official of the country. I hope you can set an example for all officials."
Su Liuyi's face turned pale again, shivering and choking, "Old minister... thank the emperor for his kindness."
He knew that if Zhao Dongting said such words with his temperament, it means that there is indeed no room for any turnaround.
Actually, if Su Quandang did such a thing, it would be good to be able to save his life. It would be impossible for him to continue to be a general in the army, or even hold his original position and make meritorious service under guilt.
If the emperor does this, he will lose his majesty. In the future, there will be many generals in the army who are proud of their contributions and do not take the emperor's life seriously.
By then, the entire Song Dynasty would be in chaos.
"Go down..."
Zhao Dongting waved his hand again.
Su Liuyi knocked his head a few times on the ground, slowly got up, and retreated outside.
He had no complaints in his heart. But his rage was still swinging towards Su Quan.
It seems that I have to choose an insightful junior to teach it well. But when the kid comes back, he will have to kill him.
The dignified marshal was not well-behaved, and he actually did such a bastard and even sent a message to the emperor to apologize. What is this?
