: Retirement and return home

Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the study room.

Yan Ji signaled Su Fan to sit down, "I haven't seen you for five years. You have grown up and look so much like your father."

Su Fan said indifferently: "The right prime minister has been dormant for so long, far away from the center of power in the temple, why?"

Yan Ji was quite surprised. Unexpectedly, Su Fan was so direct. He started straight to the point as soon as he came up. "He was in the court and he couldn't help but act."

Su Fan heard helplessness from Yan Ji's tone, "Yan Xiang, can you tell me what happened in the Battle of Guijian back then?"

Yan Ji slowly stood up and walked towards one window. At this time, the moon was full and the moonlight fell, covering the dark courtyard.

"You've been investigating what happened that year?"

"The last time you checked the case of King Rui back then, you were already joking with your life. The empire has many secrets and has been sealed off. Those are the ones that His Majesty doesn't want people to touch."

"Including the Battle of Guijian, after that war, His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation, but found nothing, and it was self-evident."

Su Fan heard the indirect voice, "Did Yan Xiang separate his relationship with my father because of the battle of Guijian?"

Yan Ji smiled bitterly, and a gloomy glanced across the corners of his wrinkled eyes, "I must not separate my relationship and be a hero in the knowledgeable world. If you want to survive, I must do this, because Your Majesty also hopes that I will do this."

Speaking of this, he paused, turned to look at Su Xuan on one side, "You first solved the Chang'an bloody case, and then made military achievements in Tianyong. Now you are ordered to form a special forces soldier, but how much do you know about Your Majesty?"

"How much do you know about the Qin Empire?"

Su Fan fell into silence. As Yan Ji said, he knew how much he knew about Qin Emperor and how much he knew about Qin.

After traveling through time for so long, he still knows too little about this strange world.

Yan Ji said again: "In addition to the Great Qin Dynasty, there are four empires of Dakang, Han, Xia and Ming Dynasty. In addition, there are small countries such as Fusang, Tang, Xiongnu, Mongolia and other small countries. After the Guijian Campaign, the Great Qin Dynasty was safe and sound for so many years. Although the countries were eyeing each other, they were reluctant to raise troops. Only the Tang Dynasty was provoking Qin Wei. Don't you find it strange?"

"It is because the four empires are too weak to use troops easily? Have you ever thought about the truth?"

Su Fan shook his head, "I never thought about it."

Yan Ji looked solemn, "There is only one reason, because of the strength of the Qin Dynasty, the countries dare not act rashly."

"The Tang Dynasty haunted Tianyong, and the countries were just watching and trying to see the true strength of Qin, but His Majesty just asked Yun Huang to guard Tianyong, and his attitude towards Tang was also expelled, and he never wanted to destroy Tang."

Su Fan said in a deep voice: "Yan Xiang means...it is not that Qin does not have the strength to defeat Tang, but that His Majesty does not want to expose the true strength of Qin."

Yan Ji said: "This is also why the empire's foundation was stable after the fall of Zhenguo Marquis and Zhenbei Marquis successively made the nations dare not rush it."

"You must always remember one thing, don't underestimate Your Majesty, and don't try to investigate the results behind the Battle of Guijian."

"At the same time, we must learn to hide ourselves. When I, Fei Ge, sent a letter to Yun Huang, asked her to send someone to spread news to Beijing, and create a grudge between Zhenguo Hou Mansion and Zhenbei Hou Mansion, so that we can better protect you two."

Speaking of this, he sighed and continued, "However, luck makes people feel bad. In the end, you actually walked with Yun Huang and became Yun Huang's county horse. Perhaps it was the way His Majesty wanted to see."

Su Fan said: "What Prime Minister means is........is it all your Majesty is behind the scenes?"

Yan Ji shook his head, "Your Majesty's union with Yun Huang should be something that His Majesty did not expect."

"After you solved the bloody case, you completely entered Your Majesty's eyes. This is why Your Majesty would stand up to the public and let you attack the throne and become the Marquis of the State, and strongly support you to do everything."

"As for what Your Majesty's real intention is, I still can't figure it out until now."

Su Fan knew how to protect himself. In contrast, he wanted to know more about Guijian's incident back then, whether it was related to Qin Huang.

"Care you please tell me that the battle in Guijian is related to Your Majesty?"

Yan Ji said: "I have said everything I should say, so you can do it in the future."

Su Fan: "........."

He stood up and walked out of the study room. Yan Ji's voice came again, "I will retire and return home in a few days, stay away from Chang'an City. You and Yunhuang must learn to protect yourself."

"In Chang'an City, except for Your Majesty, the one you want the most is the Grand Tutor. This person has rarely appeared, but he has always been the person you trust the most."

.........

Under the nightfall.

There was no one on Chang'an Street. Su Fan returned to the Marquis' Mansion by carriage. He was inspected twice by the soldiers of the patrol battalion along the way.

In order not to let the soldiers of the patrol battalion know that he came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Fan's carriage took a detour.

He knew very well that Emperor Qin had never believed in Yan Xiang, and in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he could only do this.

Along the way, Su Fan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, recalling every word Yan Xiang said.

Yan Xiang obviously knew the inside story of some things, but every word he said was just right.

If you don’t cause trouble for yourself, you are all smart people.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to retire and return home safely in Chang'an, a big dark vortex.

Su Fan was sure that in the battle of Guijian, Emperor Qin must have covered up many secrets. In addition, there is also the Taifu mentioned by Yan Xiang. How many secrets does this person have?

What worried him the most was.........The Qin Dynasty hid so many unknown backgrounds that made the nations dare not act rashly.

Su Fan suddenly sighed that he was still too young and thought too simply that both the Qin and the Qin Emperor were.

Return to the Marquis' Mansion.

That night, Su Fan lost all sleepiness, had a deep understanding of his situation, and made new plans for the future.

No matter what Qin Huang had intent with him, the future path had to continue, and now he could no longer stay out of it.

It's not easy to mess with in any era.

.........

In the palace.

Li Deshun came to Yangxin Hall and bowed, "Your Majesty, the commander of the patrol battalion heard the news, and he just discovered Su Hou's chariot."

Qin Huang said: "Did you come out of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Li Deshun said: "No, Su Hou said he went to Yuxiang Pavilion."

Qin Huang smiled and said, "He is so happy. He has married Yunhuang and has gone to Yuxiang Pavilion. It's better to be young."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, "Go and take the note of revenge on the right prime minister."

Li Deshun quickly found Yan Ji's memorials from many memorials on the wooden desk, "Your Majesty, do you really let the right minister retire and return home?"

Qin Huang said: "Yan Xiang worked hard for the country all his life. Now he wants to return home to live a quiet life. If I don't agree, it will be unkind."

"Okay, you go there!"

Li Deshun bowed and left Yangxin Hall. When he arrived at the gate of the hall, he paused and closed the door.

The next moment.

A man in black appeared in the Yangxin Hall and bowed, "What is the edict for your Majesty to call his subordinates to come?"

Emperor Qin raised his hand and handed the note to the man in black, "Do you understand?"

The man in black nodded, "Don't worry, your Majesty, you will never reveal any flaws!"
