The two of them were not in a good mood to observe the scenery along the way, except for rushing to go, they were rushing to go.

In the territory of the Song Dynasty, Su Quandang Jiankang Military Region fought hard in Kaifeng Prefecture. Then the soldiers of Xianglong Military Region, Feilong and Feitian Armed Forces took Kaifeng to a very exciting news.

Even Changsha people are talking about this matter, and the Su family has become a hot topic.

The same is true for Zhao Dongting and Xuan Su Quan returning to the imperial city.

In fact, most people don’t know Zhao Dongting’s intention to quit the front line, but strangely, not many people are in a position to be unfair for Su Quandang.

However, many people say that although Su Shuai made great contributions to breaking Kaifeng Prefecture, the emperor announced that he would be punished by returning to Beijing, so there would definitely be a reason to punish him. The emperor would not be wrong.

The officials of the court knew the inside story, and they would not have any doubts about Zhao Dongting's will.

A few more days.

night.

There is rain and wind.

The lanterns hanging on the corridor in the palace swayed constantly with the wind.

Guards can be seen patrolling everywhere.

When will the entire imperial city be airtight?

This is still just an open whistle. If the secret whistle is included, I don’t know how many people there are.

As time goes by Su Quan and returns to Changsha, the guards in the palace become increasingly tighter. This is naturally to guard against Kong Yuanzhou.

Zhao Dongting was too worried about Kong Yuanzhou.

In order to target Kong Yuanzhou, he even set up a "temporary stabbing group" specially to target Wu Dingtang, the Imperial Guards in charge of the palace security, and the Imperial Guards guarding Changsha.

There were dozens of generals who made suggestions specifically to deal with Kong Yuanzhou's assassination, and there were dozens of generals who analyzed how to arrange open and secret whistles.

"emperor."

Eunuch Liu just left the imperial study room, but now he walked in again and said to Zhao Dongting: "Su Shuai... Su Quandang is back. I'm looking for a meeting outside the palace."

"Here I'm back..."

Zhao Dongting raised his head and said, "Then let him come to see me!"

"yes."

Eunuch Liu agreed and walked outside again.

About two quarters of an hour later, Su Quandang appeared outside the imperial study room.

The eunuch outside the door said, "Your Majesty, Su Quandang is asking for a visit."

Eunuch Liu appeared at the door again, looked at Su Quandang, who was still wet all over, and sighed: "Ship Su, the emperor let you in."

When Su Quandang heard this, he smiled and said, "Su is no longer a marshal. My father-in-law just called me a name."

As he said that, he strode into the imperial study room.

Entering the inner room, he fell to the ground, "The criminal Su Quandang bowed to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Zhao Dongting didn't look at him, but waved his hand: "Let the rest go out..."

Eunuch Liu and Zhang Polu hurriedly agreed, walked out of the imperial study room, and brought the door with him.

"Get up!"

Zhao Dongting then said to Su Quandang: "It's so wet, why don't you go back to your house to rest first? It's not too late to see me tomorrow..."

Su Quandang's forehead pressed against the ground and said, "It's not too late for the criminal to return home later."

"Oh!"

Zhao Dongting sneered, "You are disrespectful to the orders on the front line. You are such a serious crime. How do you know that I will give you a chance to go back?"

Su Quandang looked up and said, "Even if the emperor wants to kill the criminal, he will first ask the Military Affairs Bureau to convict the criminal, right?"

"Perhaps others."

Zhao Dongting said slowly, "But you followed me from the island of Juzhou, and Yue Peng is my right-hand man in the army. I really don't want you to join the Law Department."

Su Quandang lowered his head again, "The criminal minister is denied the emperor's high hopes."

Zhao Dongting tapped the table with his finger and changed the topic, "What else do you have to explain about disobeying the order to attack Kaifeng Prefecture?"

Su Quandang said: "There is no explanation for the crime."

"Aren't you afraid that Kong Yuanzhou will come to kill me?" Zhao Dongting said with a frown.

Su Quandang replied firmly: "The criminal minister believes that Kong Yuanzhou has no such determination."

"So you just write a letter to me and then attack Kaifeng Prefecture on your own initiative!"

Zhao Dongting stood up and his voice suddenly rose a lot, "You are right. Kong Yuanzhou should not have the courage to kill me, but have you ever thought that he has the courage to kill my queen, my concubine, my prince, and my princess. He has the courage to kill any royal relatives, important officials of the country, and generals in the army. When you wrote a letter, you gave me time to prepare, but how do you want me to prepare? Can you hide all the ministers?"

"You said...If someone dies because of you, what should you do if you want me?"

Su Quandang slowly looked up and said, "The criminal begged the emperor to deal with the criminal with national laws, but he also asked the emperor to leave the life of the criminal."

“Why?”

Zhao Dongting raised his eyebrows.

Su Quandang said, "Because the life of the criminal minister is useful. If Kong Yuanzhou wants to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, the life of the criminal minister should be his best choice. Kaifeng Prefecture was ordered to capture by the criminal minister. If he kills the criminal minister, he can vent his anger and warns the emperor and the generals in the army to not easily cross the thunder pool. Killing the criminal minister is more effective than killing anyone else."

Zhao Dongting showed a little shock in his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Su Quandang deeply and said, "You have already thought about these things?"

He was surprised by Su Quandang's foresight.

If Su Quandang had even thought about this, then he was really not guilty.

After learning about Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhao Dongting actually thought about it. If Kong Yuanzhou really wanted to take revenge, the most likely thing would be to kill Su Quandang.

To put it bluntly, this is a game between the two sides. If you play chess, you can't be a general at the beginning, but you may eat my car, I cannon, etc.

Su Quandang didn't say anything.

Zhao Dongting said again: "So, do you think it's worth it?"

Su Quandang said: "The criminals think it is worth it."

During those days in Songcheng, he was really about to be driven crazy by the deep guilt in his heart. Even if he died, he could go on to accompany those brothers who died in battle, which was a kind of relief for him.

Everyone will probably have such a time in their lifetime when they know they cannot do it.

Zhao Dongting sighed softly and said, "But now it seems that Kong Yuanzhou may not necessarily want to kill you. If he wants to kill you, it will be difficult for you to kneel here again."

When Su Quandang heard this, his face changed slightly, "The emperor means..."

Zhao Dongting said, "I hurriedly summoned you back to the imperial city after knowing the incident of Kaifeng Prefecture. First, I was worried that Kong Yuanzhou would target you. If he wanted to kill you, even if you were in Kaifeng Prefecture, you might not be able to survive. Second, I also made the worst plan. Even if you die outside, it would be better than if you die in Kaifeng Prefecture. At least you can suppress the news so that there will be no turmoil in the army. Before the decisive battle, I don't want any turmoil in the front line."

Su Quandang was moved again, "Your Majesty, are you planning to launch a decisive battle?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "With Kong Yuanzhou here, the decisive battle power is in the hands of the Yuan Dynasty."

As he said that, his brows became tighter and tighter.
