Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 408: Isn’t it okay if I promise not to cry?
Xu Xiaode and others looked at Sun Qiang and others in astonishment.

One Lieutenant Zhiguo was surprising enough, but these people in front of him were all Lieutenants Zhiguo?
How come so many military officers suddenly appeared in Huzhou City?

Strange!

Xu Qizhuang tilted his head and asked, "White Wolf, when did you get the fish talisman?"

In his impression, when Su Chen sent out the fish talismans, Bai Lang and others were still in Shannan Road. How could they be Captain Zhiguo?

White Wolf: “I don’t have any.”

"That you……"

"Seeing you guys are so excited, let's join in the fun."

Bai Lang chuckled, and Gu Xiao and the others nodded.

Xu Qizhuang was suddenly speechless.

Xu Xiaode frowned. Although Bai Lang and others were not Lieutenant Zhiguo, Sun Qiang and others were.

It is intriguing that there are two Zhiguo captains gathered around Xu Qizhuang.

"Sir Governor, now that the Third Young Master has returned from Chang'an City, he is also protected by two Zhiguo Captains. This is truly a happy occasion."

"Lord Sun, what you said makes sense. Congratulations, Governor."

"Hey."

Xu Xiaode waved his hand, interrupting everyone who wanted to congratulate him. After looking at Xu Qizhuang, he said slowly, "Sir Sun, the matter of the craftsman has been almost dealt with. I have some family matters to take care of, so I will go back first."

"It should."

Lord Sun smiled and said, "In that case, I will go back with my colleagues first."

"Farewell."

After everyone left, Xu Xiaode stared at Xu Qizhuang coldly, "Follow me!"

Xu Qizhuang sighed, lowered his head and followed Xu Xiaode.

Compared to Xu Qizhuang, who was like a mouse seeing a cat, Sun Qiang and others were much more casual.

Xu Xiaode asked with some confusion: "Why did you come to Huzhou City, Lieutenants Zhiguo?"

Xu Qizhuang: "They are Brother Su's guards."

"Ask you?"

Xu Xiaode raised his eyebrows, and Xu Qizhuang lowered his head and said nothing.

Sun Qiang laughed, "Xu Qizhuang is right, we are all the prince's guards, and this guy is also a Zhiguo captain."

Prince?

Is he also the Lieutenant Zhiguo?
Xu Xiaode frowned, confused.

"Who is the prince you are talking about?"

"Su Chen."

"How did he become a prince?"

Xu Xiaode looked shocked. This incident was a huge shock to him.

Su Chen is just a commoner, but now he has become a prince?

Is it because the crown prince has ascended the throne, so he is extra caring when treating his own people?
But it shouldn't be.

Su Chen is not a member of the royal family, and it is extremely rare for someone of a different surname to be crowned king.

No one in the court objected?

"Your Majesty has made outstanding contributions, and His Majesty has personally conferred the title of King of Side by Side with You, and bestowed upon him the Nine Gifts!"

hiss!
Xu Xiaode's scalp felt tingling.

Not only was he made a king of a different surname, he was also given the highest treatment.

Xu Xiaode couldn't help but think of those people who were crowned kings and given nine gifts, and then replaced the emperor...

like.

These titles are the precursors to treason.

Xu Xiaode took a deep breath, looked at Xu Qizhuang and asked, "Is your sister back?"

Xu Qizhuang: "Sister and Brother Su came back with me."

Xu Xiaode was thoughtful. These Zhiguo captains were obviously Su Chen's guards.

As the King of Side by Side, isn't it normal for him to have several captains under his command?

"Stop them, don't let them leave!"

"What are you doing?"

"Follow Sima's order, thoroughly investigate the attackers!"

"what?"

"We are not..."

"Whether it is or not, you will know after checking!"

Xu Xiaode stopped and looked at the scene in front of him with a serious expression.

Did someone sneak attack Ma Yunfei?

"Greetings, Sir Governor."

"Who attacked Ma Sima? How is his injury?"

Faced with Xu Xiaode's questions, several officers looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Xu Xiaode's face darkened and he scolded, "There are thieves committing crimes in the city and injuring Sima. I asked you, why didn't you answer?"

Listening to Xu Xiaode's words, Xu Qizhuang and others looked around or checked the sky.

Ok.

The clouds are thick, it might snow soon...

"Replying to the governor, Lord Sima was attacked by someone using gold juice."

An officer whispered, "It drenched me from head to toe. I stink all over."

Xu Xiaode: “???”

Seeing that everyone blocked the road and strictly checked every suspicious person, Xu Xiaode thought that someone had used a sharp weapon to hurt Ma Yunfei.

But now it seems that he was just a little sick and not injured?
What kind of sneak attack is this?

wrong.

Who can't get along with Ma Yunfei? He doesn't use swords to launch sneak attacks, but instead uses something like gold juice?

Isn't this clearly intended to disgust him?
Xu Xiaode suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Qizhuang, who was checking the sky.

"This person has a filthy mind. If we find out, we will definitely teach him a lesson."

"That's what my lord said."

"Okay, just continue. Don't implicate others."

"Yes."

After Xu Xiaode gave a few simple instructions, he left with Xu Qizhuang and others.

Xu Qizhuang and others looked at the dog butcher with joy.

What a dirty mind.

"master!"

"The master is back." Xu Xiaode led everyone into the mansion and saw brothers Su Chen and Xu Qiying having a pleasant conversation.

After hearing the servants' voices, Su Chen and the others stood up one after another.

"father……"

Xu Qiying and the other two smiled and stepped forward to greet him. Just as they were about to speak, Xu Xiaode quickly stepped forward and bowed to greet them. "Your Majesty, I'm sorry that I couldn't greet you in person."

Su Chen: "You are too polite, Governor."

Xu Qiying and the others: “???”

"Your Majesty?"

"Dad, did you make a mistake?"

"Third brother, Mr. Su..."

cough cough.

Xu Qizhuang stepped forward and introduced with a smile on his face: "I forgot to introduce to you before. Brother Su is now honored by His Majesty as the King of the Side by Side with Him, and has been granted the Nine Gifts. He can be praised without being named, and can enter the court without bowing. It's just that the news hasn't been passed on yet."

King side by side?
There was a slight change in the way Xu Qiying and the other man looked at Su Chen.

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's just a title, no need to be so nervous."

Xu Xiaode: "The etiquette between the monarch and his subjects cannot be abolished."

Xu Qiying and the other two nodded in agreement.

Xu Qizhuang didn't care, "Maybe in a few days, I should call you brother-in-law."

"...?"

Xu Xiaode and Xu Qidan looked at Xu Qizhuang at the same time, and then turned to Xu Hui.

Xu Hui blushed slightly and lowered her head without saying a word.

Xu Qiying smiled and said, "Dad, the prince just told me that he and my sister are in love, and he came to Huzhou this time just to visit you."

A smile couldn't help but appear on Xu Xiaode's face.

It turned out to be the case.

"Your Majesty, please sit down."

"Master Xu, please."

After both parties sat down, Xu Xiaode kept looking at Su Chen.

As the saying goes, hearing about someone is not as good as meeting them in person.

He had heard of the reputation of the mad and poisonous scholar as early as when he was providing disaster relief in Suzhou.

Although the rumors about crazy and poisonous people gradually decreased, no one expected that the Xuanwu Gate incident would happen again.

The prince directly took charge of the government, and with the cooperation of this poisonous scholar, he made the ministers in the court come to him one after another.

When some people thought that the prince would lose the support of the people if he re-enacted the Xuanwu Gate incident, it turned out to be the opposite.

Not only did the prince successfully control the court, but many officials and people also praised him.

Afterwards, he went on an expedition to the Western Regions and killed Yu Gushe, and his reputation as the Butcher became completely known.

But now it seems that Su Chen is not as the outside world says.

"Your Majesty has come from afar, have you prepared a place to stay?"

"Dad, I have prepared a yard for the prince in the mansion."

Xu Qiying said, "Everything has been packed, and the prince has agreed to sponsor the mansion."

The corner of Xu Xiaode's mouth twitched, and he looked at Xu Qiying silently.

You're quite quick.

Xu Qizhuang smiled and said, "When we came, Brother Su specially prepared a lot of snow lotus to nourish grandma's body."

Xu Xiaode: “…”

Suddenly I had a feeling that this home was not mine.

Both sons began to favor Su Chen, and their own daughter turned a deaf ear to it, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"But, isn't it inappropriate for the prince to live here?"

"It's appropriate, why not, Dad?"

Xu Xiaode raised his eyebrows and looked over.

Xu Qidan: "Your Majesty is well-versed in history and the present, and has different opinions on many articles and things. Although I only chatted with Your Majesty for a short while, I gained a lot."

"If the prince lived in the mansion, I could often ask him for advice."

Xu Xiaode: “…”

tired.

Tired!
Xu Qiying said again: "Grandmother met the prince just now and praised him highly. She also hoped that the prince could stay in the mansion for a few days."

Xu Xiaode: “…”

OK OK.

I became an outsider.

"Can you order someone to prepare dinner?"

"Already prepared."

Xu Qiying smiled and said, "We were just chatting. If Dad is here and won't come, I will order my third brother to go look for him."

Xu Xiaode sighed and forced a smile, "Your Highness, this house is not as good as the palace. If you need anything, just let me know."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Master Xu, there is no need to bother with this. This place is quite nice."

Xu Xiaode: "It's fine as long as the prince lives comfortably."

"You guys stay with the prince and talk. I'll go say hello to your grandmother."

"it is good."

After walking out of the main hall, Xu Xiaode felt much more relaxed.

baffling!

He should have been the one to test Su Chen, but for some reason, he felt that the pressure was on him instead of Su Chen.

Is it because of his fame, or because Huier is getting married?

Xu Xiaode shook his head. Although he had a good impression of Su Chen, he couldn't explain this feeling clearly.

"Mother."

"Now that I'm back, have you seen your future son-in-law?"

"Already seen it."

Xu Xiaode smiled and said, "Mother, please stop joking. He is now the King of the Side by Side with the King, and is highly valued by His Majesty."

The old lady was a little surprised and said cheerfully, "Isn't that great?"

"Xu Hui has been a smart girl since she was young. A Taoist priest said that she would be extremely valuable in her life."

"I was thinking at the time that I might enter the palace in the future, but I didn't expect that I would marry a king of a different surname."

"Don't always look so stern. I think the girl and him are a good match."

Xu Xiaode: “…”

My home is gone!
Can't I just promise not to cry?
