Chapter 92: The Secret Edict
It was a delicate and pretty face, a pair of twinkling starry eyes, revealing a hint of clever taste, and it was really a beautiful face that was pleasing to the eye.
It's just that this face is not Dong Bai.
"Dong Yan has seen Su Taishou." The girl stepped forward to salute, her expression was calm, but her voice was as clear as a lark.
Dong Yan?
Like her face, it was also unfamiliar, and Su Zhe racked his brains and couldn't remember that he had heard this name in Chang'an, nor could he remember that there was such a number one person in history.
At that moment, Su Zhe flicked his hand quietly: "Miss is exempt, Su seems to have never met Miss, I don't know if Miss came all the way from Chang'an to see Su, is there something wrong?" β
Dong Yan smiled: "Naturally, I haven't heard of my name, Su Taishou, but my father's name, Taishou must have heard of it." β
"Lingzun is?" Su Zhe became interested.
"My father, Dong Cheng, is a subordinate general under the command of Zhonglang General Niu Fu, Su Taishou should have heard of it." Dong Yan reported to the door.
Dong Cheng......
Of course, Su Zhe remembered this person, this Dong Cheng was originally just a small person, but in history, because of his meritorious service in escorting the Han Emperor back to Luoyang, and his daughter married the Han Emperor as a concubine, so he became an important minister of the court with the dual identity of a meritorious hero and a relative, and wanted to kill Cao Cao with an edict, but he was destroyed due to defeat and leakage.
The Dong Yan in front of her claims to be Dong Cheng's daughter, and that should be the Dong Guiren who was killed by Cao Cao in history.
"Dong Cheng is a royalist, and this Dong Yan is his daughter, she came all the way to me, could it be that she served the meaning of Emperor Han?"
Su Zhe speculated in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be in a trance, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be General Dong's daughter, and I am fortunate to be happy, but I don't know if Miss is not enjoying happiness in Chang'an, how can she be in the mood to go to Xiaguan, Nanyang, to visit the mountains and rivers?" β
Dong Yan's expression suddenly became solemn, and she said: "Yan is here to be entrusted by someone, there are 100,000 urgent matters, I want to discuss with Su Taishou, I don't know if I can change the place where it is convenient to talk." β
She glanced at Li Yan and the others left and right, and her starry eyes flashed with distrust.
Su Zhe said lightly: "These people are my henchmen, there is nothing that can't be let them know, just say it, Miss." β
Dong Yan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Yan was entrusted by the queen's mother, and there is a secret edict written by the mother to be handed over to Su Taishou, please Su Taishou take a look." β
As she spoke, Dong Yan took out a sealed lacquer scroll from her arms.
The Queen?
Fushou's secret edict!
Li Yan and the others on the left and right couldn't help but show strange expressions, and they couldn't imagine why the dignified queen would send someone to send someone to send some secret edict to their son-in-law.
In Su Zhe's mind, he immediately remembered the scene when he was alone with Fu Shou in the imperial tent on the hunting patrol in the northern suburbs of Chang'an that day.
"Isn't it ......"
Su Zhe vaguely guessed a few points, but he didn't break it first, calmly took the secret edict and took it, and unhurriedly opened it to take a look.
Those calm eyes suddenly flashed a glimmer of light.
Fu Shou said in this secret edict that the situation in Chang'an City has reached a critical moment that is about to break out, and if something happens, she is very likely to accompany the Son of Heaven to patrol Nanyang, so that Su Zhe is ready to meet him, and at any time raise troops to protect the Son of Heaven into Nanyang.
On the verge of breaking out, patrolling Nanyang, something unexpected happens......
This series of words soon sketched a thrilling picture in Su Zhe's mind that decided the life and death of the Han Empire.
In that picture, it is highly likely that Wang Yun will unite with the Bingzhou Legion under the command of LΓΌ Bu to launch a military coup d'Γ©tat, kill Dong Zhuo, and wrest control of the imperial court from the hands of the Xiliang Legion.
According to Fu Shou's revelation between the lines, she and Liu Xie don't seem to have full hope for Wang Yun's future change, and they are mentally prepared for Wang Yun's failure and find a way back for themselves.
Fu Shou's back road is he Su Zhe.
Looking at Fu Shou's meaning, this is to plan that in case Wang Yun fails, she will take advantage of the chaos with the Son of Heaven to flee to Nanyang to rely on him, the protection of Nanyang Taishou.
"No wonder that day in the imperial tent, Fu Shou would say those words to me alone, it turned out that she was testing me and preparing for today's secret edict, this queen mother, she is so far-sighted, it seems that she is really not a simple woman......"
Dong Yan, who was at the bottom of the stairs, saw that Su Zhe was silent for a long time, so she asked: "Su Taishou has also read the secret edict, and I don't know if Su Taishou is willing to act according to the edict." β
"This secret edict is very important, how can I be sure that this is a letter from the queen's mother, and not an edict from some well-intentioned person." Su Zhe closed the secret edict and asked rhetorically.
Dong Yan smiled and exclaimed: "The queen mother is worthy of being the queen mother, she had expected that Su Taishou was thoughtful and would be suspicious, so she specially asked me to bring a token, she said that Su Taishou only needs to see this token, and she will definitely not doubt it anymore." β
After saying that, Dong Yan handed over a burden behind her.
Su Zhe opened the baggage, but what was placed inside was a thick leather jacket.
His eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately remembered that this was the imperial tent that day, the temperature plummeted, and he was afraid that Fu Shou would freeze, so he took off the leather jacket he put on Fu Shou himself.
But I didn't expect that this leather jacket, Fu Shou would keep it, and today it has become a token.
"I believe it." There was no doubt in Su Zhe's tone.
Li Yan and the others left and right, but they were suspicious, and they couldn't understand what unknown secrets happened between their son-in-law and the queen's mother, and they dared to believe it so deeply because of a leather jacket that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary.
While everyone was speculating, Dong Yan nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "Since Su Taishou has believed that this secret edict is true, then he should be able to answer my question now." β
"Miss Dong came from afar, she was dusty all the way, and she was tired from thinking about it, so it was better to rest and rest first, and then we would have a good chat." Su Zhe snorted haha, not planning to give her an answer immediately.
Dong Yan frowned, and when she was about to open her mouth, Su Zhe had already brushed her hands and said, "Why don't you invite Miss Dong into the wing room to rest, so that you can entertain her, don't slack off." β
Dong Yan was helpless, knowing that Su Zhe was trying to weigh the pros and cons, and it was not good to give her an answer on the spot, so she could only be polite.
Dong Yan was asked to leave, and there were no outsiders in the lobby.
"Ziming, what happened to the queen mother with you? Why did she give you a secret edict? What did she say in the edict? β
Su Fei couldn't wait to ask questions, and asked a few questions in a row.
"Oh, second uncle, what are you anxious about, can you ask one question at a time, I only have one mouth." Su Zhe complained with a wry smile.
Su Fei was stunned for a moment, so he had to say, "Then you tell us first, what is written in the secret edict of the queen mother?" β
"Xiaoxiao, you can read it to everyone." Su Zhe handed over the secret edict to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao stood up, cleared his throat, and read out the content of the secret edict aloud.
When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a trace of excitement surged in his eyes.
Su Fei and the others were not as resourceful as Li Yan, and they couldn't hear the meaning of the secret edict, but they were all confused.
"I said Ziming, what does the queen want to say by this secret edict, why can't I understand?" Su Fei scratched his head and said.
Su Zhe said lightly: "Don't you understand this, the anti-Dong faction in Chang'an will soon launch a mutiny against Dong, our mother and the son of heaven are worried that they will fail, so they want to find a way back, once the mutiny fails, they will flee to Nanyang to rely on your nephew and me." β
"What!"
Su Fei was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Queen Tianzi is a hot potato, Ziming, you must not take it, more is better than less, don't make trouble for yourself!" β
