Fang Jie looked at Shi Bao and said, "I want to avenge my aunt."
When Shi Bao joined Manichaeism, he wanted to make a career just like Lu Shinang. The survival of Manichaeism was not important to him. He nodded and said: "I will accompany you."
When Fang Jie heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
??When they went north together, when they arrived in Tokyo, the prince had already led the army to fight. As soon as the two of them joined together, they were ready to chase the prince. Even if the prince could not immediately lead his troops south to avenge Fang Baihua, they could still help the prince fight against Xixia. That way in the future, the prince would help them get revenge and feel less owed. But just as they were about to leave, Fang Jie suddenly fell ill.
With his entire family members killed, liver qi stagnated, coupled with successive wars and long journeys, Fang Jie's illness was considered serious. Soon, all the valuables they had on them were sold, and finally Shi Bao's sword was pawned. There are nursing homes and anjiyuan in the city to help pedestrians and give out medicine, but Shi Bao does not want to eat the food he comes to. He would rather go to the dock to work as a coolie to earn money to support the two of them than to receive relief.
Or they go to the prince's name, and the people in the palace will not ignore them, but everyone in the city knows that the prince is led by his soldiers, and they are not good at going to the prince for help. He could only rely on Shi Bao to work as a coolie at the dock to make a living, waiting for the prince to teach.
Fortunately, there are countless ships plying the Bianhe River and there is a lot of business at the dock. The strong Shi Bao can do the work of five people by himself, so the two of them persist to this day.
Without Shi Bao, Fang Jie doesn¡¯t know where he would be.
Therefore, Fang Jie has always regarded Shi Bao as his savior and naturally does not want to be separated.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????? Then he asked two soldiers to give up their horses to them.
After Ren Jinnu saw Chao Yong getting on the car, he leaned against the car in a daze and knew something bad had happened. The place where Chao Yong and Shi Bao were talking just now was still a distance away from the carriage, but she didn't hear the conversation.
Ren Jinnu hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "What happened?"
Chao Yong said expressionlessly: "A beloved woman was killed."
Although Chao Yong did not show any sadness, Ren Jinnu still heard endless sadness and anger from Chao Yong's tone.
??Prince¡¯s Day? Prince, take care?
Ren Jinnu wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the prince didn't show much emotion. Maybe he didn't want others to know his feelings. So Ren Jinnu sat aside obediently and didn't say anything more.
There was silence in the carriage.
The uterus arrived. Chao Yong got out of the car and saw Shi Bao and Fang Jie following him, so he said: "You guys can stay in the palace first. I will inform you when the army goes to Jiangnan. Lu Fang, go and ask an imperial doctor to treat Fang Jie." "
Fang Jie saw that Chao Yong still remembered his illness. He hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Prince."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "You're welcome, you are a relative of Baihua, I should take care of you. Lu Fang, give them your salary every month, and pay them one month's salary first."
Hearing this, Lu Fang hurriedly said: "Yes."
Fang Jie was still hesitating about how to exchange some silver with the prince to redeem Shi Bao's sword. Seeing Chao Yong's kindness, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you love me so much. I am proficient in martial arts and am willing to serve as a pawn in front of the Prince's tent."
Shi Bao also hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I am willing to serve."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Then you just stay in front of the tent and listen. But General Shi should accompany Fang Jie to recover first. Lu Fang, please wait for me to arrange for them to entertain them with good wine and meat. I am a little tired today. I will entertain you again when Fang Jie recovers."
Lu Fang and Shi Bao had just seen that Fang Baihua's death had a great impact on Chao Yong, and it was not because of the strength of Daliang. The prince no longer treated the virtuous corporal, so he was not unhappy at all. Instead, he admired the prince greatly.
Entering the palace, Chao Yong said to Ren Jinnu next to him: "I'm a little tired. I'll go to your place another day."
Ren Jinnu also knew the prince's mood and said obediently: "Then the slave family will leave first."
Chao Yong nodded to Ren Jinnu and went straight to Yanfu Hall.
He Yong, the personal eunuch, has been carefully observing the prince's expression in order to judge his mood and avoid causing trouble. Seeing that the prince remained silent all the way, he also knew that the prince was in a bad mood.
When he arrived at the Yanfu Hall, he personally served Chao Yong to clean his hands and face, and then said cautiously: "Prince, do you want to pass on the meal now or wait?"
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Now."
Why look at Chao Yong?The word ?? is like gold, and he quickly winked and asked the eunuch below to pass the meal, while He Yong stood aside and waited on him, trying to slow down his breathing so as not to disturb the prince's clear thoughts.
Soon, the food will be served.
"Ten dishes and three soups, after the ticket number was opened, the prince's uterus was no longer frugal.
In the words of the prince, the more luxurious the prince's palace is, the more money the people can earn. For the sake of the people, they should be more luxurious. Of course, this premise is that everything in the Tai's palace is purchased with money, rather than taken from the private sector. Of course, no one in Daliang dares to take it by force, so don't worry about it.
There are no longer many people waiting for dinner in the Taiwong Palace, because the dining table is no longer the long table before, but a round table with a turntable designed on it. With just a slight turn, the turntable can bring the desired dish to you, instead of having to ask the waiter to get the dish from time to time as before.
This is also the prince's design. In He Yong's opinion, the prince's design is no less than the prince's design on clothes, and it saves him a lot of things.
Because in the past, when the prince was eating, he had to always pay attention to the prince's expression. As soon as the prince raised his head, he would see what the prince wanted to eat and quickly pick up some and hand it over instead of waiting for the prince's order. Of course, sometimes mistakes are inevitable. Although the prince has never punished him for this, there is no guarantee that the prince will always be so kind.
Just like today, the prince is unhappy. If he picks up the wrong dish, it may cause disaster. With the turntable, there is no need for him to pick up the food, so there is no need to worry about making mistakes.
However, the prince's appetite was obviously not big today, and he did not move the turntable, but mechanically ate the dish in front of him. If the prince said a few words, He Yong would think that the prince liked this dish. But Chao Yong remained motionless, letting He Yong know that the prince did not like the dish, but was not in the mood to turn the turntable.
Don't say nothing. This was an ancient ritual, but the prince never ate a meal without saying a word. Even if he is eating alone, he will ask them about some affairs in the palace or chat with them for a few words.
With the prince's behavior, everyone not only did not think that the prince had a rude air, but instead felt that the prince was very kind. Of course, the prince is indeed very tolerant towards them. Even if something goes wrong on a daily basis, he will not punish them heavily.
There is only one red line that servants in the palace cannot touch, and that is to interfere in matters outside the palace. Whether it is using his own identity or the identity of the master in the palace. In fact, everyone knows it. After entering the palace, the original identity is gone, and the remaining identity is that of the people around the prince. Even if they do not have any official positions, ordinary officials will not dare to underestimate them after they go out, because they are the prince's people.
In order to prevent people in the palace from bullying others. The prince strictly ordered the people in the palace to interfere with matters outside the palace. As long as you enter the palace, you should be like a monk. If something happens at home and you have to come forward, then break away from the Crown Prince and go about your own business.
This is somewhat unreasonable, but it is not unreasonable. Those who don't want to accept it can choose to leave the palace, but those who stay must accept this rule.
He Yong wanted to help the prince spin the turntable. But he was afraid of offending the prince, but seeing that the prince had already finished the plate of food in front of him, it would be too indifferent if he didn't turn around. Maybe he will be punished by the prince.
You never know when a sulky person will get angry.
He Yong saw that the dishes in front of the prince were getting less and less, and the sweat on his forehead was getting more and more. He was hesitating whether to move the turntable.
Chao Yong suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "Get out of here."
He Yong was stunned for a moment. Seeing Chao Yong finish the rice in the bowl, he hurriedly asked: "Is this villain going to bring you another bowl of rice?"
Finished. A drop of sweat dripped from his forehead to the ground.
The rice bowls in the palace are very exquisite. They are all high-quality products produced by official kilns, but they are not big. Chao Yong can eat more than five bowls every time, although he also eats a lot of dishes.
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "No, take all the food away, and you all can go down too. No one will be waiting on you tonight."
After saying that, he walked towards the dormitory.
He Yong wanted to say more, but seeing that the prince had already left, he had no choice but to order the eunuchs below to take the dishes away. At the same time, he ordered the kitchen to be on standby in case the prince needed it.
He Yong asked all the eunuchs in the hall to withdraw, looked at the prince who was already lying on the bed in a daze, and then quietly exited.
Chao Yong was lying on the bed, looking at the gauze curtain above his head, but what appeared in front of him was a beautiful woman like jade. The two met for the first time in Jiangzhou. The Baihua sword in white clothes assassinated Cai Jiu, but he was at a disadvantage. He used a pole to attack him. Kill Cai Jiu and take Baihua to escape from the city. As he sailed away from the city, Baihua's heroic words of sacrificing his life for righteousness made him feel inferior.
Time passed and Baihua took people to Liangshan to send hero invitations and inviteThe heroes of Liangshan went to Tokyo to form an alliance. Then the two of them went to the Liangshan Water Pond together, and they fell in love with each other on the island in the middle of the lake. They followed the urchins from the fishing village playing and making clay figurines by the water moor.
??Then we will meet in Tokyo, visit Daxiangguo Temple, and visit Zhouqiao Night Market. At the Daxiangguo Temple, the four kings gathered together. When the two of them encountered Gao Yanei doing evil, Chao Yong took action and captured Gao Yanei, and then everyone rushed out of Tokyo in a boat.
Chao Yong tried his best to hold up the water gate, but was injured and fainted. Fang Baihua pear blossom brought the rain and jumped into the water to save others. Although Chao Yong only heard about this later, he could also imagine how anxious and panic Fang Baihua was at that time.
These beautiful scenes filled Chao Yong¡¯s heart with sweetness. Although the two did not get along for a long time, they had many wonderful moments.
But what happened after that was not so wonderful. The four kings allied themselves with each other and La La revolted. Not long after, Daliang also rebelled. The two of them took sides and jointly fought against the Song Dynasty. Until Fang La's army was defeated, Chao Yong sent someone to invite Fang Baihua to go north, but Baihua refused. Then Muzhou fell and Bangyuan Cave was breached. Chao Yong also couldn't sleep and sent many people to Jiangnan to find out the news.
At first, we didn¡¯t get the exact information about Baihua, but we found out that Fang Baihua was not among Tong Guan¡¯s prisoners. This also reassured Chao Yong. Sure enough, a few days later, Fang Baihua sent someone to deliver a letter. She had successfully broken through, but she went south to join Lu Shinang.
When Chao Yong received this letter, he was also very angry. He was angry that Baihua had done so many things for Manichaeism and still didn't come north to meet him. But after that, Chao Yong led his troops to retreat from the Liao Dynasty to exterminate the Xia Dynasty, and he went about fighting every day, so he forgot the slightest bit of unhappiness. But he didn't expect Fang Baihua to die. When he thought about it, without the Western Army, Tong Guan was already a paper tiger with teeth pulled out, which could be broken by a poke. Even if the remaining Manichaean forces could not unify the south of the Yangtze River, they were still among the best forces in the south of the Yangtze River. Fang Baihua's safety was still guaranteed. But he didn't expect that Fang Baihua would die at the hands of Manichae.
Many fortresses were breached not by the enemy, but from within.
Chao Yong did not experience any internal strife from the time he fell on Caoliang Mountain to the time he raised his troops to destroy the Song Dynasty. In other words, after a few small battles with Song Jiang, the big problem of Song Jiang was eliminated. Then, relying on the power of Xingchen Xianxian and Jiutian Xuannv Empress, as well as invincible divine power and invincible record, everyone gathered under his command with all their hearts, so they ignored the internal fighting.
Thinking about it now, Fang Baihua's situation is really dangerous.
Most of the people in the Fang family were killed by Tong Guan. Only Fang Baihua and Fang Jie escaped. However, Lu Shinang had 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the main force was still Manichaean followers. As a result, Lu Shinang and Fang Baihua had a fatal conflict. If it were not for Fang Baihua, Lu Shinang would be the supreme commander of this army, and he would have the final say as to where the army would go. Even if he captures Jiangnan and establishes a new kingdom in the future, he will still be the emperor. But with Fang Baihua. Everything was different. Fang Baihua was a Manichean saint, and her status in the religion was higher than that of Lu Shinang. Now that she is here, Lu Shinang should listen to her. Even if Fang La originally appointed him as the commander-in-chief of this army, but times have changed, Fang Baihua also has enough reasons to seize Lu Shinang's position. And if Fang Baihua becomes the commander-in-chief, everything will have nothing to do with Lu Shinang. Even if Jiangnan is swept across the Yangtze River again in the future, the world will still belong to the Fang family. Even if Fang Baihua can't be the queen, Fang Jie can be the emperor if the Fang family still has her.
This is unfair to the Manichaeans, because according to Manichaean status, Lu Shinang's status is obviously higher than Fang Jie. Fang Baihua couldn't be the queen, so it was Lu Shinang's turn to be the emperor. But according to Fang La's previous rules for appointing the prince, Fang Baihua would not give up the country to him.
Manichaeism has been spread to the Central Plains for hundreds of years. It was not founded by the Fang family and Fang La became a holy man. It was just because of Fang La's strong martial arts and his righteousness. Fang La brought Manichaeism to conquer the world, and then regarded the world as belonging to the Fang family, and Manichaeism became the tool for the Fang family to conquer the world. It is impossible to say that the upper echelons of Manichaeism are not dissatisfied. After all, the world is owned by Manichaeism, and the world should be jointly owned by Manichaeism. In that case, after Fang La, anyone at the top will have the opportunity to take over the world. But it is unique to the Fang family, so they have no chance at all, and they have to be careful about Fang La crossing the river and burning the bridge.
But Fang La¡¯s prestige in the religion made them afraid to say anything.
However, after Fang La died, there were still people from the Fang family who wanted to command the army, and the higher-ups in Manichaeism were dissatisfied. After all, Manichaeism does not belong to the Fang family. After Fang La died, they were the ones with the highest status in the sect, not the Fang family. The Manichean Church chose a new Holy Communion, but he would never be from the Fang family again.
Fang Baihua became a holy aunt, firstly because Fang La was a holy male, and secondly because Fang Baihua was highly skilled in martial arts and had a beautiful appearance, which could attract many handsome men to join Manichaeism. But after Fang Baihua jumped into the water to save Chao Yong in Tokyo, she announced that she had a lover, and she refused to be a thousand miles away from the handsome man in the church. In addition, Fang Baihua's lover was not Morocco.The people in the religion are the little overlords of Liangshan. Fang Baihua is of no use to the Manichaeans. No one would think that they can guarantee the peaceful coexistence of the two families through marriage. Moreover, the Manichaeans have not yet paid attention to the power of Liangshan. In their view, seizing the power of the world Must be Manichaeism. After sweeping across the south of the Yangtze River, they will lead their troops north to capture Tokyo, and then wipe out Chao Gai of Liangshan, Tian Hu of Hedong, and Wang Qing of Huaixi.
It is impossible for them to abide by the past covenant. Although the Tokyo League was proposed by Manichaeism, Manichaeism also gave Tian Hu and Wang Qing a lot of gold and silver to let them raise troops. But what they think more about is getting the gold and silver back in the future, rather than being neighbors with them.
Although the Manichaeans were defeated and Liangshan took the opportunity to seize Tokyo, Lu Shinang did not think that Liangshan's troops would be stronger than those under his command. The soldiers and horses under his command can be said to be one-third of the elite of Manichaeism. When Manichaeism raised its troops, the troops were divided into two groups. One group was led by Fang Qifu, who went north, and the other group led by Lu Shinang, who went south. The elite were divided into three, with Fang Qifu and Lu Shinang each taking one, and the remaining one escorting Fang La to deal with emergencies. But they didn't expect that their plan to take Jiangnan quickly failed miserably. The soldiers and horses around Fang Qifu and Fang La were all annihilated by Tong Guan. Only the soldiers and horses led by Lu Shinang who went south were unable to escape due to the long distance and slow return of reinforcements. Pass a tribulation.
After the entire Western Army was reorganized, Lu Shinang felt that his troops could march across the south of the Yangtze River. Even if he looked at the world, he was not afraid of any troops except the Western Army. What's more, he is also the person with the highest status among the remaining senior leaders of Manichaeism. Although the places where Manichaeism has the largest congregation have been wiped out by children, there are still many Manichaeism believers in Jiangnan. As long as he was given time, he would soon be able to gather hundreds of thousands of troops and sweep across the south of the Yangtze River. Even if Daliang unified the north, he could still fight against each other. There was absolutely no need to use Fang Baihua to form an alliance with Liangshan. Of course, he didn't want Fang Baihua to marry Chao Yong. Otherwise, with Fang Jie's support from Liang, Jiangnan would probably still belong to the Fang family.
This is unfair both from a personal and Manichean perspective.
Lu Shinang had too many reasons to kill Fang Baihua.
Chao Yong only regretted that he didn¡¯t think of it earlier and let the fragrance of flowers disappear. Thinking back to the previous dissatisfaction and suspicion towards Baihua, I wanted to give myself a few slaps.
