Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 31 The Change of Nectar
And at this time, a line of lanterns in the distance accompanied Yiwei of Jiabing, and Su Zhao followed Qu Kai to the front of Xuanle Palace.

"I have seen you, Your Majesty." The sound of the guard clasping his fists and saluting sounded.

Qu Kai shouted in a deep voice: "Lieutenant Liu, what about the assassin?"

"The assassin was hit by arrows and fled to the mountains." Captain Liu's face showed fear, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Where is the young master?" Qu Kai asked coldly.

The lieutenant surnamed Liu said with a dull expression: "I am humble, I ordered my subordinates not to shoot arrows, but I didn't have time...The humble supervisor urged my subordinates to be unfavorable, and please forgive me."

The lieutenant surnamed Liu looked pale, and suddenly half-kneeled on the ground, pleading guilty in fear.

At this moment, Su Zhao also withdrew his consciousness to inspect Su Ming's corpse, his face paused, and he couldn't help but sighed.

This kind of thing is an emergency, no matter what, he couldn't have expected it.

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, with an indescribable feeling in his heart. He and his sister Su Zijin had promised to save Su Ming's life.

"Sister, you don't think... I ordered it?"

Su Zhao thought about this at this moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart panicked for a moment.

He didn't want Ajie to think that he was a cold-blooded political animal.

Su Zhao's expression paused, this kind of thing should not be thought deeply, the left and right have already died, it's useless to think about it, he can only say that his half-brother deserves such a fate.

Qu Kai's face was gloomy, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the assassin must not have escaped far, so you can send someone to search the whole city at this time..."

"No need," Su Zhao waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "The assassin is a member of the Immortal Family, and most of them are not in the city now. It's midnight, so it's really inappropriate to disturb the people."

Right now, the matter of falling over Yuan is on the line, and it is really inappropriate to make trouble out of the knot.

"Give him a good burial...and Mrs. Li together." Su Zhao looked at the corpse under the green wall with a somewhat dispirited expression.

When Qu Kai heard the words, he bowed his hands and said yes.

Outside the city, under the bright moonlight, a man was riding the wind in the mountains alone, his figure staggering and tottering from time to time.

It was Meng Kui who crossed mountains and ridges, intending to escape to the lava cave that he had ordered the monks to evacuate to, but in the end, he was injured. , still unavoidable pain into the bone marrow.

Meng Kui landed in a forest, and sat down against a big tree, intending to treat the arrow wound on his body first, cross his legs and adjust his breath for a while, and then go on his way.

After a long time, the injuries on his body were slightly suppressed, he opened his eyes, and sighed heavily.

Under the hanging eyebrows, a fierce light flashed in the triangular eyes, full of confusion and regret.

"Hey, there is a great danger in the matter of humanity."

It's ridiculous to say that Meng Kui's samadhi is really burning at this moment, and his injuries are constantly worsening. His first thought is... The cause and effect of human nature is kept secret.

Naturally, this cannot be said to be the cause of the opposite effect. If he hadn't participated in the affairs of the Su Kingdom before, hadn't become greedy, and rashly entered the palace to steal treasures, he would still be a high-ranking fairy family, and now...

Therefore, Meng Kui couldn't be wrong about having this idea.

After a while, Meng Kui felt that his injury had been suppressed, and fled to the cave.

……

……

The next day, in front of the gate of Yuan's Mansion, the soldiers with banners and flags were standing in all directions, their armors were bright and solemn, they were guarding with knives, and served as guards. A carriage was also driven by the driver and parked in the On the bluestone board, I have been waiting for a long time.

At that time, rough voices came from the gate of Yuan Mansion, it was Yuan Bin and Mr. Xu, Yuan Ye and others who were sending them off.

"Just wait and listen to the news in the mansion." Yuan Bin was dressed in the official uniform of Da Sima Zi Fei, wearing a black crown on his head. A little dark, obviously did not sleep well all night.

After all, it is a major matter related to the survival of the Yuan family, and he was thinking about it last night.

Yuan Ye said: "Father, you must be careful in everything."

Mr. Xu also said in a low voice, "Mr. Yuan, pay attention to the correct attitude, lest that person get suspicious."

Yuan Bin nodded, and said, "I'm awake."

At this moment, Yiwei's guard not far away stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Duke Yuan, the time has come, it's time to go on the road."

Yuan Bin frowned subconsciously. For some reason, Xun Zhang didn't like what he heard, but it was indeed time to enter the palace. With this strange feeling, he strode towards the carriage.

"hiss……"

Just stepped on one person's back, leaned on the railing, and was about to use his strength to board the carriage, when he heard the two horses in front of him kick restlessly, the coachman hurriedly comforted him, and said with a smile: "Mr. , These two stallions are in heat."

Yuan Bin smiled and found it interesting, so he boarded the carriage without doubting him.

If Su Zhao were here and saw this scene full of "romantic novels", he would be amazed that disasters and fortunes, along with the ups and downs of luck, are actually fulfilled in various related places.

After all, Yuan Bin got into the carriage, and with the sound of a gong, he cleared his way to dodge, and the carriage heard a rumbling sound, and under the guard of a group of soldiers with big banners, they headed for the palace in a mighty manner.

The king of the Su Kingdom will go to the funeral tomorrow, and all the ministers will go to the Ganlu Hall for a routine performance. Yuan Bin believes that there will be nothing unexpected from the bottom of his heart.

In the palace garden, in the Ganlu Hall, Su Zhao has been sitting in the hall for a while, with an indifferent expression, thinking about whether the layout is well-designed, and if he has a choice, he doesn't want to use this method.

But Yuan Bin, according to his temperament, did not give him the habit of continuing to take further actions.

Instead of continuing to entangle, it is better to cut the mess quickly.

Then, at this moment, the voice of the eunuch Ling sounded outside the hall, "Your Majesty, all the ministers are asking to see you outside the hall."

Su Zhao took a deep breath of turbid air, and with his starry eyes twinkling, he said a word: "Xuan!"

Outside the hall, Su Guoyi Ying Gongqing, who was waiting, entered the Ganlu Hall in order.

"Minister, I have seen the Lord."

The sound of seeing the ceremony sounded. Like the previous few times, this was still a court meeting limited to the six officials, and it was the final arrangement for the funeral of the king of Su Guo tomorrow.

Because in this era, the six officials actually established the government independently, recruited assistant officials, and the lord ruled from the top, ignoring common affairs, so the scene of civil and military officials gathered together in later generations was not common at this time, unless it was a great dynasty or ceremony.

Of course, Su Zhao will definitely have to adjust this kind of extensive bureaucratic system with downward transfer of power. Without him, it is not conducive to the centralization of power by the monarch.

These thoughts flashed through Su Zhao's mind, and he said loudly, "Zhu Qing is in peace!"

"Thank you, Junhou." All Ying Gongqing got up and started to play.

The first was Sikong Fan Yanxu, tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, the mausoleum of the former emperors and marquises of Yuntai Mountain has been completed, can the craftsmen and servants be released?"

Su Zhao nodded and said: "Fan Qing has worked hard. All meritorious craftsmen and officials will be rewarded heavily and not treated harshly. You can come back and draw up a report, which can be handed over to Gu."

This is the person who built the mausoleum for his father, and he can't treat him harshly, both public and private.

Fan Yanxu just bowed and said: "Your Majesty is kind, and this veteran thanked you on behalf of the heads of Guizhou."

At this time, Su Mao also walked out on crutches, and said: "There are relatives of the Su family, old people, who mourn the envoys of various countries. Tomorrow, they can be properly placed in the coffin outside the city to pay homage to the ancestors."

Su Zhao nodded, and said: "Su Qing will receive the orphan, and after the funeral, the orphan will caress her."

Then, Situ Meng Jichang, however, reported: "Your Majesty, the preparations for this national funeral have been completed, and the summer grain will be harvested and put into storage. Dang County is being ravaged by bandits. , Weiguo dug mountains and rocks to block the entry of Huan water, which caused delays in planting rice seedlings in the county and failed rice harvests, please forgive me at your discretion."

Su Zhao frowned and said, "Wei is our ally, why do you act like this?"

Ten years ago, the State of Wei had helped the State of Su resist the State of Zheng. Of course, Lord Wei also wanted to use the State of Su as a buffer to prevent the expansion of Zheng State's hegemony. It is obvious that the monarch is self-evident as to what his intentions are when he is his wife.

Of course, after Su Zhao abolished Mrs. Death Guard, the news spread back to Wei, and it was only a matter of time before Su and Wei turned their faces.

Dazai Jinghongdao, coughed, and explained: "In the spring of Weiguo this year, there was no rain for a month, and there was a severe drought in the country, which affected the spring sowing. Perhaps it was because of this that the upstream water source of Linyang County was cut off."

Su Zhao frowned, and said, "How did you deal with the former emperor when he was here?"

Jing Hongdao and Cang Sheng said: "Send envoys to negotiate and reprimand."

"Protest, condemn?" Su Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and he sighed inwardly.
