- Chapter 108: Two Good Ministers
Fang Jie sat in the teahouse for a long time, and Qilin, who was standing outside, never said a word to Tie Nu Ye Xiao and the others. When Mo Ningzhi left, Tie Nu and Ye Xiao left with her. Before leaving, the two of them hugged Qilin and said "treasure". When they turned to leave, no one was reluctant to leave. On the contrary, Mo Ningzhi looked at Qilin with a somewhat meaningful look.
Qilin remained silent.
Tienu and Yexiao didn't say a word to Fang Jie or even look at Fang Jie until they left. Regarding the performance of the two of them, Fang Jie just sighed slightly. It seemed that the resentment in their hearts was stronger than that of Mo Ningzhi, who was so beautiful that she didn't look like a human being.
But Fang Jie didn¡¯t blame them.
No matter who it is, who has been forced into exile for fifteen years and lives on the verge of life and death all day long, they will probably have overwhelming resentment in their hearts. Mu Xiaoyao, Daquan, Qilin, and Shen Qingshan may also feel this, but what they value more is the relationship that has lasted for more than ten years. Of course, Fang Jie felt that Shen Qingshan might be different from others.
Qilin walked into the teahouse and looked at Fang Jie. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
"fine"
Fang Jie stood up, settled the tea money and walked out: "Tie Slave and Ye Xiao have different choices. It is their right. They have lived in fear for so many years and finally have a chance to live a stable life. They want to That's right. I'm still grateful to themeven if we become strangers in the future."
Qilin felt uncomfortable in his heart and followed Fang Jie silently.
The good mood when he went out for a walk was gone, and Fang Jie had to admit that his decision to go out for a walk today was wrong. But then I thought about it, even if she didn't go out, Mo Ningzhi might come to her door and say these words. Perhaps she had been waiting for today, because only today when she told Fang Jie these words could she disturb his mood.
Tomorrow we will take the martial arts exam.
Fang Jie took a deep breath, then smiled and said to Qilin: "Suddenly I realized that she is just a child who has not grown up yet. After three years of suffering for me, she only thought of such a childish way to collect debts ¡This little girl is still in the stage of being a baby, if you offend me, I won¡¯t play with you.¡±
Qilin, who was feeling a little depressed, was amused by Fang Jie's words, scratched her hair and said, "Actually, she is a very quiet woman. In the past three years, she has never cried or struggled, even though she knew that she was a shield. He didn¡¯t even say he was homesick once. He sat quietly most of the time, and even liked to sit with Shen Qingshan. You know Shen Qingshan doesn¡¯t have a good temper towards others, except you. "
¡°She must not be having a very happy life at home.¡±
Fang Jie thought for a while and said: "There are only two types of people who can face it calmly. One, they are fools. The other, they are eager to get rid of their original life."
"She is definitely not a fool"
Qilin answered seriously.
Fang Jie smiled and said: "But he's not that smart. Brother Qilin, come with me to a place."
"Where?"
"Sanjin Houfu"
¡¡
¡¡
Wu Daodao once said that he is a person who makes money even when he sleeps, but in Fang Jie's opinion, he always seems to be leisurely and at ease. At the very least, he will never make people feel busy. When Fang Jie and Qilin arrived at Sanjin Houfu, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty was fishing by the small lotus pond.
"Why do I feel a little awkward fishing for my own fish?"
Fang Jie walked up to Wu Yiyi and said with a chuckle: "I spent money to buy a lot of koi and put them in the lotus pond, and then caught them and stewed them Don't you think it's a waste?"
Wu Yiyi didn't look back. He stared at the fish float on the water and said: "What was originally a very elegant thing has become so tasteless in your mouth. In my opinion, fish has only two uses. The first is to buy it." Put it in the water and watch it. Secondly, you can catch it and eat it if you get tired of it.¡±
"Don't you think this is money spent without wasting it at all?"
Fang Jie sat down by the lotus pond, smiled and said, "Master Hou, can I ask you something?"
"explain"
"Tomorrow I will take the martial arts exam. You know this is a major event in my life."
"Smooth sailing"
"Uh Thank you very much. I just want to ask if I can let a few people around me live in your house after I take the exam tomorrow? If I get into the Yanwu Academy, I will live in the courtyard. The people around me will live in the courtyard. You can¡¯t follow them in, but you know they are not safe in the imperial capital.¡±
¡°Good¡±
Wu Yiyi nodded without any hesitation.
"Thank you!"
Fang Jie cupped his fists and solemnly thanked him.
"You're welcome, you can live in, but you have to pay some rent and so on. Four people, right? Just pay for six people. Each person is five taels of silver per month, don't bargain, I won't do it if there is less than one copper coin."
"Why!"
Fang Jie argued: "Why should four people pay six people's money?"
Wu Yiyi glanced back at Qilin who was standing not far away, then curled his lips and said: "The guy you brought here can at least sleep in a place for two people and eat as much as three people. I want to be fair to Tong Sou when I do business. No bullshit, just charge whatever you want. If you don¡¯t think it¡¯s unconscionable, you can deny it and I¡¯ll believe you if you say he eats less than my cat.¡±
Fang Jie was startled, and then continued to argue: "There is also a thin and dry one, who sleeps in half a person's space!"
"Do not make jokes."
Wu Yidao rolled his eyes at Fang Jie and said, "You are talking about a big dog, right? Yes, he is indeed thin and dry and only takes up half of a person's space when sleeping, but he is a carnivorous guy who can at least eat as much as he wants. It only takes two people. I¡¯ll give you face by charging you six people¡¯s money. Don¡¯t keep bargaining.¡±
"You are such a rich man, why is it interesting to argue over a mere thirty taels of silver?"
"This is how I earned my money little by little. A little makes a lot. You can't look down on the little just because you have more now. That will ruin your fortune."
Fang Jie was speechless, thought for a while and asked: "There is something you must have heard of Recently many people have bought some real questions for the Yanwu Academy exam. A friend of mine spent a thousand taels of silver to buy one. Then he made another copy and sent it to me overnight. What do you think about this? "
Wu Yiyi nodded and said: "He is a good friend!"
Fang Jie said angrily: "You know that's not what I asked!"
"You are very irritable today."
Wu Yiyi still didn¡¯t answer the question.
Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but nodded and said, "I'm really a little annoyed. I'm being annoyed by a very childish person using very childish methods, but I know that this is just a child's prank, playing house." , but I still feel a little uneasy.¡±
"Do you need help?"
Wu Yiyi asked.
"No need, I've already paid."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "Let's talk about the real questions of the Yanwu Academy. What do you think?"
"Even people at your level know it, how can I not know it? Even people like me know it, how can the people in the court not know it? So there is no need for you to ask me what I think, you should ask the court what it thinks. But since you¡¯re going to pay me rent for six people, I can tell you a piece of news for free.¡±
"What?"
"The so-called real questions from the Yanwu Academy are fake."
"I know!"
Fang Jie said: "If I can't even guess such a thing, I'd really be an idiot."
"There are a lot of idiots, such as your friend who copied a copy of the test questions overnight and hurriedly sent it to you. As far as I know, at least a few hundred copies of such so-called real test questions were sold, and each copy cost a thousand taels of silver. That's how much One hundred thousand taels This business is damn easy to do. If I weren't afraid of being beheaded, I would really want to do it. Making up a fake test question can expose the idiotic nature of hundreds of children from aristocratic families, and To be able to make such a huge amount of money, this business is so damn perfect.¡±
Fang Jie sighed: "What I want to know is who has such courage that he doesn't even want to keep his head in order to get rich. This person is the most idiotic one. Does he think that the court will not find out? Do you think that he can't find out? Are the people in the Imperial Guards, Love Office, Punishment Department, and Dali Temple all idiots?"
Wu Daodao looked at Fang Jie with a half-smile but said, "In fact, at least until now, the yamen you just mentioned have not found out who leaked the so-called real questions. It is said that because of the recent cases Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment seemed a little incompetent, so these two yamen sent many experts to investigate, and His Majesty also knew about this matter and ordered the governor of the Qing Yamen, Hou Wenji, to catch the person who sold the real exam. "
"I knew about someone selling the so-called real test questions at least three days before you did, but there were still people who could buy the so-called test questions in these three days, but they couldn't catch the person selling the test questions. And the court didn't want to catch this person. It¡¯s better to make a decision on this matter now, so there are still many idiots who will be fooled.¡±
Fang Jie let out a long breath and said, "Fortunately, it seems that His Majesty has no intention of investigating whether the test questions were really leaked.". If they are pursued, no one knows how many people in the court will be unlucky. Especially those adults who participated in formulating the test questions, I am afraid they are all panic-stricken. "
Wu Yiyi rolled his eyes at Fang Jie, as if he were looking at an idiot.
"You and the person who made the fake test questions are both smart people, but because the level of contact is not enough, you look like idiots."
He said.
"There is no doubt that the purpose of the person who made the fake exam questions was to disrupt the court, try to use this matter to make His Majesty angry, and then kill the officials involved from top to bottom. This is the purpose of that person, he He just wants to kill people in the court and cause chaos in the imperial capital. The more officials die, the happier he will be."
"Butthe emperor would never do this."
"Why?"
"Because there is only one person involved in formulating the test questions, and that is Dean Zhou of the Yanwu Academy."
Wu Daodao smiled and said: "This faker is definitely not someone who can stand up to the public. He doesn't know much about this year's Martial Arts Academy exam. So he is definitely not a noble person in Chang'an City. Maybe he just entered the city not long ago. Knowing only a little about the affairs of the imperial court, he wanted to sabotage it, because everyone with a higher official position in the imperial court knew that this year's test questions were drawn up by Dean Zhou alone, and no one else could interfere with it. Think about itthe emperor would do it because of that. Are you going to blame Dean Zhou for such a fake test question? So besides making hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, this person has no other purpose. "
Fang Jie was startled, and then couldn't help laughing.
Wu Yiyi smiled and said: "So everyone in the court is curious about who this person who can come up with such vicious methods is but an idiot. I also want to know"

Changchun Garden
Qionglu
Seeing His Majesty talking to Hou Wenji, the envoy of Qingya Town, Su Buwei, the eunuch of Bingbi, hesitated for a moment and then reminded softly: "Your Majesty, Prince Xu and the others have arrived a long time ago and have been waiting at the door for a while."
The emperor was startled for a moment, then nodded and said: "You go ahead and do it first. You can't delay this matter. Although the falsifiers have written every test question instead of mimeographing it, so it's hard to find out the root cause, but you just said that from I should be able to find out the origin of the rice paper used. I¡¯m waiting for your news.¡±
Hou Wenji quickly bowed his head and agreed, bowed and retreated. When he arrived at the door, he saw Yang Kai, Prince of Xu County, standing aside with two other people. He clasped his fists and saluted, "I have met the prince."
Yang Kai said a few polite words to him, and then Su Buwei called him in. Before Hou Wenji left, he couldn't help but look back at the two people behind Xujun Wang Yang Kai, and frowned slightly. He really didn't expect to meet these two people who had been imprisoned in the sky prison for eleven and a half years in Changchun Garden. Hou Wenji couldn't help but sigh. After seeing the light of day again after eleven and a half years, maybe the two of them would soar into the sky.
Yang Kai and the other three entered the door. He lifted his robe and knelt down to salute. Although the two people behind him looked a little reluctant, they still knelt down.
"Your Majesty, Yang Kai, goes to see you."
"The grassroots people seek good advice, and the grassroots people support good tigers. I'd like to see your majesty."
The emperor looked sideways and said: "Get up, Old Twelve, come and sit next to me. You two find a place to sit by yourselves. There is tea on the table and some snacks on the plate."
According to the ranking of the emperor¡¯s brothers, Yang Kai is ranked twelfth.
The emperor glanced at Yang Kai and said: "Yu Donglai, the Minister of War, has repeatedly disappointed me and made big mistakes one after another. I have already agreed to his resignation. But the Ministry of War cannot always be without someone in charge. Such a big yamen is like It¡¯s a lie. Someone suggested that you should handle the affairs of the Ministry of War, Lao Twelve, are you willing?¡±
"ah?"
Yang Kai was stunned and quickly stood up and said: "My brother can't do it!"
"oh?"
The emperor smiled, and liked the twelfth brother's frankness very much: "Then tell me, who can do it?"
Yang Kai turned around, pointed at the two silent people sitting next to him and said: "Mou Liangbi can be the minister, and Zong Lianghu can be the minister!" - Didn't finish reading?
