The woman who couldn¡¯t hold on anymore and vomited out ran out without even having time to look back and glare at Fang Jie. When she ran, she didn't bother to pretend to be a man, and the graceful figure of a little woman was fully revealed. Fang Jie looked at her back and smiled and said, "There are probably not many men who bend their knees inward when running."
Hou Wenji sat down on the chair opposite him, looked at Fang Jie with interest and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Her father locked me up in prison for no reason and disgusted me, so I can't disgust her daughter?"
"how do you know?"
Hou Wenji asked.
Fang Jie said: "Isn't it easy to guess the identity of the girl disguised as a man who can make the Qing Ya Town and the Envoy follow you respectfully? All the adult princes have been ordered to leave the capital and go to their own fiefdoms, so she only It could be someone from the palace. The scope is so small, you can figure it out just by thinking about it."
Hou Wenji nodded and said: "You guessed it right, but you don't need to offend someone who might save you."
"Yeah?"
Fang Jie shook his head and said, "I really can't think of why she wanted to save me."
"What if?"
Hou Wenji said.
"There is no such thing as a chance."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Your Majesty is not a person who is easily influenced by others in his decision-making. Perhaps in order to give some face to the important ministers of the court, Your Majesty will show his respect in trivial matters. But in big matters, Your Majesty will not let anyone because of anyone. Easily change your own judgment based on your own opinions. Especially His Majesty¡¯s daughter. In the eyes of her father, no matter how old the child is, she will always feel that any of her opinions are immature.¡±
"Your words are disrespectful to His Majesty."
Hou Wen said seriously.
Fang Jie curled his lips and said: "If I was really disrespectful to His Majesty, I would have stood at the door and scolded my mother. Do you think it is comfortable to live in this wretched place? If it were a bloody person who was unjustly accused and imprisoned here without coming forward. "Yes, I think he would rather anger His Majesty and be taken out and beheaded than live in this dark and cold prison."
Hou Wenji said: "Fortunately you are not a bloody person."
Fang Jie was dumbfounded.
Hou Wenji smiled: "Although you and I have only met each other very few times, and your understanding of me is as shallow as the waves above the water. But I can tell you seriously, how well I understand you, if you You would be shocked if you knew it.¡±
Fang Jie opened his mouth and made a swallowing motion.
Hou Wenji glanced at him doubtfully, Fang Jie smiled and said, "I'm surprised."
"you are boring"
Hou Wenji said helplessly.
Fang Jie spread his hands: "No matter who is locked up in a place like this, even if time is confused, they will feel bored. If there is an ant nest in this house, I have even counted how many ants come out to look for food. It¡¯s clear. If it were you, I think you would be more bored than me.¡±
Hou Wenji shook his head: "I will never be locked up here. This is the biggest difference between you and me."
"Then you are really inferior to me."
Fang Jie said seriously: "You at least lack one kind of life experience than me."
"You don't seem to be worried about your life or death at all?"
Hou Wenji asked.
Fang Jie said: "How can you not be worried? Since you said you know me, you must know how greedy for life and fear of death I am. You can regard my current performance as posturing, or you can understand it as hypocrisy Pride and self-respect.¡±
"You are greedy for life, but you are not necessarily afraid of death."
Hou Wenji looked into Fang Jie¡¯s eyes and said.
Fang Jie was startled, and after a while he couldn't help but sigh: "Now I begin to believe that you really understand me somewhat, even people around me may not be able to say this. So I have to "You make me feel a little scared."
Hou Wenji said slightly proudly: "You should know that my status determines that I must be the kind of person who makes others feel afraid. If I fail to do it, it can only be said that I failed. This There are many people in the world who can be intimidated by me, but there is only one person who can be intimidated by me.¡±
"What you said is also a bit disrespectful to His Majesty."
Fang Jie said with a smile.
"Why?"
Fang Jie looked into Hou Wenji¡¯s eyes and said seriously: ¡°You said you can scare many people in this world.??There is only one person who can scare you, and that must be His Majesty, right? "
"right"
"This is disrespectful."
"Where is the disrespect?"
"You said His Majesty is a human being."
Fang explained: "In my opinion, Your Majesty is not a human being."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hou Wenji's face suddenly turned cold. For a moment, Fang Jie could even feel the murderous intent overflowing uncontrollably in Hou Wenji's eyes. Fang Jie had no doubt that in the next second Hou Wenji's hands would grab his neck, lift his body high and then slam him down. As a high-ranking and powerful person, Hou Wenji's anger is enough to scare many, many people once it is released.
Just when he was on the verge of breaking out, Fang Jie continued in a serious and serious manner: "Your Majesty is a god in my eyes. I respect your Majesty as much as I respect the gods, or even more than the gods. The gods can change. It¡¯s one person and one thing, but I¡¯m sure that if His Majesty is willing he can change the world.¡±
Hou Wenji was startled, and then he said angrily: "Is this interesting?"
Fang Jie smiled slightly and said: "Of course it's interesting You locking me here makes me very unhappy, so I have to make you unhappy, even just for a moment."
"Before, the reason why you disgusted Your Highness, Princess, was because you said you were wronged. You made me unhappy because I made you unhappy. Such behavior is as childish as a child playing house. Do you think that you will retaliate but are childish? Does it mean anything except putting you at a greater disadvantage?"
"Naturally"
Fang Jie lay down on the stone bed, looked at the roof and said: "In such boring days, I have to find some joy by myself. Looking for a little happiness among the unpleasantness, although it feels a little hypocritical, but it is still happy. If I must die No doubtwhat else do I need to worry about?"
¡¡
¡¡
Hou Wenji was silent for a while, looking at Fang Jie lying on the stone bed without saying a word. He suddenly remembered that the young man who was now being held in the highest-level prison of the Ouchi Guards Department was only sixteen years old in the official file. He had disgusted Her Royal Highness before, and then made himself unhappy Could it be just the true temperament of a young man?
Did you and many others never regard Fang Jie as a young man from the beginning to the end?
Is the expression on that young man¡¯s face angry? Or are you planning something again? As the governor of Qingya Town, he is used to thinking deeply about everyone and everything. Today, he suddenly felt that he thought too highly of Fang Jie, so much so that he even regarded him as an opponent for a while.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty is just a little suspicious."
Hou Wenji said.
After saying this, he felt a little regretful. Because of his previous thoughts, his heart also felt a little relaxed. This sentence was not what he should have said.
But he soon regretted letting go, because he felt that by saying it directly like this, he might be able to understand Fang Jie more clearly and see how he reacted. So he planned to simply give this young man a little hope and say a few more words. But Hou Wenji didn't see anything immediately, because Fang Jie didn't seem to react at all when he heard his words. He was still looking at the roof, motionless.
"Isn't this good news?"
Hou Wenji asked.
"no."
Fang Jie answered.
"Why not?"
"Perhaps you think that I should be happy or feel at ease? But I really don't think this is something worth being happy or at ease with. You said that His Majesty is just suspicious But, Mr. Governor, don't you think that this is the most peaceful thing in the world? The scariest and saddest thing is that it makes His Majesty the Emperor suspicious? When there is doubt in the heart, there will be subsequent things, and often these things are not happy and reassuring. "
Fang Jie turned his head, looked at Hou Wenji and said, "Your Majesty doubts a person. Does this person have a chance to turn over?"
Hou Wenji was speechless.
Then he confirmed his earliest judgment. Fang Jie was indeed just a boy. This boy did still have the innocence, ignorance and childishness that belonged to his age, but he was far smarter than his peers. Although in Hou Wenji's opinion, this Being smart is still a bit superficial.
"Can you tell me what you regret most?"
Hou Wenji asked.
Fang Jie was silent for a long time, then shook his head slightly and said: "Perhaps because I am a person who can think about most things, so there are really not many things that can make me regret. Even if I know that I did something wrong, I still feel the same afterward. There is rarely such an emotion as regret, except in torture.Can it be used for anything other than yourself? I was already in a situation where many people were trying to torture me, so why should I torture myself? "
"This is too pretentious and false."
Hou Wenji sighed.
"I said, I also have self-respect, even if it is a very false self-esteem."
Fang Jie solemnly said: "In this dark place, I have a lot of time to think about what happened in the past. I can think about many things I have done wrong, but I cannot regret these things. To sum up, I desperately wanted to climb high, to experience the feeling of high places. I wanted to break away from the shackles of my original destiny and become a master like the great general Li Xiao during the Taizong period. But I underestimated climbing. There were dangers during the climb, and I overestimated my ability. I have no regrets I was just too stupid and naive.¡±
Hou Wenji shook his head: "Actually, you should understand that the reason why Your Majesty has not made a decision yet is because Your Majesty is not sure yet The students in the Yanwu Academy have now been told that you are in retreat in the back mountain, so they still I'm still envious of your situation. Your Majesty's attitude is to investigate carefully, but Dean Zhou's attitude is not to be easily determined In fact, you can understand that this is to give you a clear answer. "
Fang Jie turned over and sat up, his face changing slightly.
"real?"
¡°I don¡¯t like to lie to people casually.¡±
Hou Wenji said seriously: "When I lie to others, I must be rewarded. Lies without reward are as shameful as wasting food."
He stood up and actually reached out and patted Fang Jie on the shoulder: "Living here for a while may not be a good thing for you. IfI mean if. You are really innocent and finally walk out." This is a prison. Then if you encounter such suspicion in the future, the person who doubts you will definitely remember that you have been wronged before Isn't this a good thing? "
Fang Jie was silent for a while and said, "I'm really not in the mood to say thank you to you."
Hou Wenji laughed loudly, turned around and walked out: "But I can tell you very seriously that you have just offended someone who must never be offended. It is true that you said that His Majesty will not easily change his judgment because of other people's opinions. But he is also a father When his most precious daughter is bullied, what do you think this father will do? "
Fang Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Impulse is the devil."
Hou Wenji smiled happily and strode out of the prison.
After a long time after his figure disappeared, Fang Jie seemed to break free from the shock and uneasiness. He lay down slowly, with his back to the iron door. So naturally no one will see it. Where is the uneasiness and shock on his face? It's very calm, so calm that it's hard to understand.
Lying on the bed, Fang Jie carefully recalled the previous conversation, his own reaction and the emotions on his face. He felt that his performance was pretty good and there shouldn't be any flaws. Chatting with someone like Hou Wenji is by no means an easy task. Fang Jie has been waiting for such a conversation and such an opportunity. Fortunately, God seemed to be really kind to him and sent him a silly princess.
He could imagine that Her Royal Highness the Princess would definitely complain about herself in front of His Majesty the Emperor after returning to the palace. This was exactly what he wanted, so he didn't have the slightest worry or fear. If the emperor knew that he disgusted the princess, would he be angry?
No!
Because this is the humble and childish unwillingness and resistance of a young man out of grief and anger. Who would be unwilling and angry? Naturally, he is a person who has been wronged Fang Jie is using the princess to express his position to the emperor that he was wronged. It is obviously an idiotic thing to use childish means and boring words to stimulate a princess, but your majesty may not be angry. Idiot's methods can sometimes have very good results.
¡°Then came the conversation with Hou Wenji, which was much more difficult than irritating that silly princess. More sophisticated acting skills are needed to conceal one's true inner thoughts.
Fang Jie allowed himself to show two completely opposite personalities. He was rebellious and naive as a teenager should be, but also had wisdom and thoughts that exceeded those of his peers. Only in this way can Hou Wenji feel that he is a difficult but manageable person. He asked Hou Wenji to remember that after all, he was still a young man, not a man with deep wealth It was not easy to deceive someone like Hou Wenji.
¡°At the very least, you must first be a good actor.
Fang Jie thought about it for a long time and felt more at ease after making sure that he had no loopholes before.
Life is a big drama, it depends on who can act and who can act better. Everyone is acting, and everyone is watching others act.
