- Chapter 237 Peeping through
Although Fang Jie had some doubts about the Wudang Mountain Taoist's appearance in Chang'an, even Xie Fuyao didn't know what Liu Huizheng and the others were doing, and Fang Jie had no way of investigating. But at least he knew where the Taoist priests from Wudang Mountain lived, so the first thing he did after returning was to ask the scholar Chen Xiaoru to go to the Shunde Inn to keep an eye on them.
Even he himself didn¡¯t know why he was so sensitive to Taoists from Wudang Mountain coming to Chang¡¯an. Chen Xiaoru was sent by Su Buwei, so naturally he would not refuse what Fang Jie told him. After taking off the new clothes Fang Jie bought him and putting on the dirty Confucian shirt again, Chen Xiaoru walked away step by step.
Until now, Fang Jie actually doesn¡¯t know what these three people are good at. But since Su Buwei chose these three people, there must be some basis for it.
Early this morning, he got news from the young eunuch Mu San. It was said that his majesty mentioned Prince Yi when he met Huai Qiu Gong Yu Manlou and others. This was the first time in these days that his majesty showed dissatisfaction in front of the courtiers. . Fang Jie keenly noticed something from it. Perhaps the emperor's patience was really going to be worn away.
So he had to speed up the collection of evidence of Prince Yi's secret activities, although he didn't know why the emperor's attitude suddenly changed. He guessed that it had something to do with the army's expedition on February 12, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what it had to do with it.
When thinking about the army¡¯s expedition that day, Fang Jie couldn¡¯t help but think that the Taoist from Wudang Mountain had arrived in the capital at this time. Could it be that it had something to do with it?
Xie Fuyao is right, Liu Huizheng is of the same generation as Taoist Hesong. This is because Zhenren Xiao was named the leader of the Dao Sect of the Great Sui Dynasty by the emperor. Otherwise, Zhenren Xiao would be regarded as Zhenren Zhang's junior in terms of seniority. Wudang Mountain sent such an important person, who was he targeting?
As soon as Jie sat down on the chair, the little girl Zhuang Die very obediently brought her foot-washing water. Warm, just right for soaking your feet. Fang Jie smiled at her, and while she knelt down to take off her boots, he reached out and touched a small section of Zhuang Die's exposed smooth lower back.
Zhuang Die¡¯s face turned red and he dodged for a moment.
She squatted on the ground, rubbing Fang Jie's feet and asked, "Master, are you tired today?"
Fang Jie shook his head with a smile and said, "Why are you tired? It's not like working in the fields. There is nothing tiring in the martial arts academy, but it is quite boring."
Zhuang Die said in surprise: "Shouldn't the martial arts academy be very busy? There are many things to learn, such as the art of war, battle formations, martial arts, and riding skills. These things all take up time and are tiring. Master, I'm not tired. , I guess it¡¯s because you are strong.¡±
"How do you know if I am strong or not?"
Fang Jie chuckled and raised Zhuang Die's chin with his fingers to tease him. Zhuang Die blushed and avoided it. After a moment of silence, he asked, "The friendship between the young master and Prince Yi must be very deep."
Fang Jie asked: "Why do you ask that?"
Zhuang Die said: "Otherwise the young master went to the Crescent Tower the day before, why would the people from Prince Yi's Mansion redeem my body the next day? That night the young master was drunk that night and came to Prince Yi's Mansion. The people soon found out. In order to prevent others from touching me again, they spent money to redeem me and send me to the young master."
Fang Jie hummed: "Prince Yi is indeed very good to me."
Zhuang Die paused and asked: "I just don't understand, why did the people in Prince Yi's palace know it so quickly? The young master was still wearing makeup when he went there, and even if he stared at it, he wouldn't be able to recognize it at a glance. "
Fang Jie sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face was still gentle: "Prince Yi has a reputation for being romantic all over the world, and people who want to come to Crescent Tower are also very familiar with Prince Yi. Maybe Prince Yi will go to Crescent Tower the next day. You told him a joke, so he asked someone to redeem you."
"oh¡¡"
Zhuang Die snorted and then asked: "I heard that Prince Yi claims to be the most romantic person in the world. Shouldn't a big shot like him put state affairs first? Why do he always hang out in brothels and boats?"
"Prince Yi loves beauties."
Fang Jie said seriously: "Prince Yi is obsessed with the mountains and rivers, and hangs out in the brothels. It's because he is a truly elegant person, with a temperament like a wandering cloud and a wild crane, and naturally he does not want to be entangled in worldly things."
Zhuang Die lowered his head and wiped Fang Jie's feet: "But when I was in the building, I heard that Prince Yi is a truly capable person. It is really a loss for the Sui Dynasty if someone like him does not enter the court. I and When the sisters had nothing to do and chatted, they all said that Prince Yi has real talent and knowledge, and he is really a prime minister. "
Fang Jie snorted: "It's better to say less like this in the future. Prince Yi naturally has his own reasons for not joining the court. We can just say these things at home on weekdays.Okay, please don't talk nonsense to outsiders Although I haven't met Prince Yi a few times, I admire the prince's conduct very much. If he enters the court, it will naturally be a great thing for the Sui Dynasty! "
Zhuang Die nodded: "Don't worry, Master, I don't know anyone, who can I talk to?"
"By the wayI heard that Young Master, you also have a close friendship with Wu Yiyi, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty? When we were in the building, they all said that Young Master, you live in the Sanjin Houfu. Because they know that Young Master, you are personable, So the sisters also discussed going to the gate of the Hou Mansion more often in their free time."
"Yeah?"
Fang Jie said with a smile: "If I had known that I was so popular with women, I should have gone to Crescent Tower for a walk."
Seeing Fang Jie move the topic without any trace, Zhuang Die's expression changed slightly and then he asked with a smile: "Sir, Wu Yiyi is a legendary figure. You are familiar with him. Can you tell me about it?"
¡¡
¡¡
After taking a bath under Zhuang Die's care, Fang Jie returned to the room and saw Shen Qingshan reading under the lamp. Shen Qingshan's temperament has become more and more calm recently. In the past, it was like the weather in June. Seeing Fang Jie come in, she raised her head and smiled softly and asked, "How is it? How does it feel to be bathed by a beautiful lady?"
Fang Jie curled his lips and said, "I'm not interested in looking at a firewood girl!"
These words were so righteous, but Shen Qingshan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. His eyes followed Fang Jie's face, stopping at a place where he was still standing and hovering for a while.
Fang Jie smiled coquettishly: "This is a natural reaction"
He sat down next to Shen Qingfan, naturally held her in his arms, and whispered into her ear: "This little girl has been testing my relationship with Wu Yitong. Tomorrow let the black boy Follow her quietly to see how she spreads the news. From tomorrow onwards, I will leave all the groceries and cooking to her, and give her a convenient condition. In additionbecause she has been testing my relationship with Wu Yiyi, Soit seems they can't help but take action against Wu Yiyi."
"What's the reason for not taking action?"
Shen Qingshan asked softly: "The adults in the court didn't take action, and even the emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry to snatch the goods from Tongtianxiaxing."
Fang explained: "Perhaps the emperor is busy sending troops right now. Who knows if he will suddenly issue a decree after February 12 to bring the goods to the world and bring them back to the court?"
"Return to the Household Department?"
Shen Qingshan asked again.
"It may also be taken directly into the palace, and the emperor will send someone he trusts to take the helm. Taking one piece of goods and selling it all over the world is equivalent to the Sui Dynasty getting at least several decades of taxes for nothing It would be strange if the emperor was not greedy. As for those Why the adults haven't taken action yet may be because Wu Dao was intimidated by what he had in hand, and they didn't dare to act rashly until they got it. "
He thought for a while and continued: "But if the emperor really takes action against Huotongtianxia after sending out troops, those people will definitely not be able to sit still. There are not many days before sending out troops, and they are more urgent than Wu Yiyi now, so ¡Wu Yiyi seemed very calm and calm.¡±
"Fang Jie"
Shen Qingfan opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Qingshan was silent for a while and then asked softly: "Ifif those people in the court really want to attack Wu Yiyi, will you intervene?"
After asking this question, Fang Jie fell into silence.
After a long time, Fang Jie slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I have advised myself many times that I have no ability to intervene in this matter, so I'd better hide as far away as possible. But it's useless there's nothing I can do. "There are many, but I still have to try my best to save Wu Yiyi's life. I can't help him guard the world, but I can still help him kill some people."
"If you do this, wouldn't all your efforts in Chang'an City be in vain?"
"It's all in vain There are some things that you know you can't touch, but you still have to do them in the end. If you can hide it, it's best. If you can't, the worst case scenario is that we can escape from Chang'an City together. We joined Da Quan and the others. , Find a place with beautiful scenery and live an ordinary life. "
"Are you willing?"
Shen Qingfan asked.
"I'm not willing to give in."
Fang Jie replied: "That's why I have to think carefully about what to do. I don't want Wu Yiyi to die, and I don't want to ruin my own future. This is a difficult thing to have both ways If I can't do it before those people take action, I haven¡¯t thought of a way yet, so I have no choice but to act foolishly.¡±
"You and I, plus the people around Wu Yiyi, should have no problem keeping him alive and fighting out of Chang'an City."
Fang Jie sighed: "As long as the emperor doesn't interfere."
"Why do you think the emperor won't intervene? "
"Because he wants the goods to be transported to the world, not Wu Yiyi's head. If the courtiers make a fuss and Wu Yiyi escapes, the emperor can save a lot of trouble Moreover, who knows if he is just waiting on purpose, let's see Look at how many clowns are jumping out? So far, the person I can't guess the most is the emperor sitting on the dragon throne It's very difficult for others to think about things three days later. , can often be thought of several years, or even ten years later.¡±
Thinking of this, Fang Jie was suddenly stunned for a moment.
"Now that the Sui Dynasty is rich and powerful, it's not like it can't support a war that lasts for several years There is no need for the emperor to rush to collect goods from all over the world, right? With such courage, he may not be able to fight only against Meng Yuan. A battle. If the fight with Meng Yuantian continues for a long time, the national power of the Sui Dynasty will gradually decline after ten or twenty years and by that time, the emperor will be very old and leave the goods to the world. Isn¡¯t the emperor good?¡±
"good!"
Fang Jie answered himself: "It must be better than now!"
Shen Qingshan couldn't help but ask, "Have you figured something out?"
"yes!"
Fang Jie couldn't help laughing: "Wu Daodao must have thought of this too! At first I thought he was so confident just because he had the handle of the courtiers, but now I understand that he has another card in his hand. The prince is young! Then why did the emperor show such interest in the world that all the adults jumped up uneasily?"
"Because the emperor wants to kill someone."
Fang Jie sneered and said: "Unfortunately, by the time those adults wake up, it will be too late. And these peoplemostly are close to Prince Yi! In the final analysis, the emperor's goal is to destroy those who speak for Prince Yi. No wonder Wu Yiyi has the confidence He is simply joining forces with the emperor to make a big show! How can someone like the current emperor tolerate courtiers forming factions for personal gain? " - Didn't finish reading?
