- Chapter 279 Northwest, Southwest
When the emperor came out of Cishou Palace, he glanced at the westward sun in the sky and took a deep breath. He stretched out his arms and stretched his body vigorously. Su Buwei clearly felt that the emperor's steps were no longer as heavy as they were before entering Cishou Palace.
¡°Perhaps the emperor finished all the things he wanted to say all these years, and also released the bad breath that he had held in his heart for so many years. For the Queen Mother, it was more painful to let her live than to let her die. This woman spent her whole life hoping that her son would become the emperor.
The emperor once didn't understand it because no matter who inherited the throne, she was the queen mother in name only, and there was no need to let her biological son sit on it.
But now, the emperor understands.
Because he has always ignored the blood-thicker-than-water relationship between mother and son. Which mother doesn¡¯t want her son to get ahead? Even though she was the Queen Mother, sitting on the throne was the son of her former rival, the son of the late emperor's other wife. How could she be happy?
If it weren¡¯t for the Queen Mother¡¯s many tricks behind her back, the emperor wouldn¡¯t even blame her.
But this woman has gone crazy, just like Prince Yi.
When leaving Cishou Palace, the emperor did not board the royal chariot. He waved his hand and told the honor guard to disperse. He turned around and said to Su Buwei, "I want to take a walk. You can just follow me."
Su Buwei bowed his head and ordered everyone not to follow him.
"Kill all the people in Cishou Palace, and don't go to interrogation You personally check and select a group of new people to add them. As for what kind of candidates, you should have an idea."
The emperor gave instructions calmly as he walked.
Su Buwei nodded and said: "I knowI will have the servants in Cishou Palace executed later."
The emperor hummed and said: "No scandal can spread in Cishou Palace. The criminals involved in Lao Liu's rebellion must be severely interrogated. Only those in Cishou Palace do not need to be tried. Especially those few The palace maids who are close to the Queen Mother will be executed immediately. Also, from now on, you will go to the Criminal Department to watch, and you will have to observe all the trials of serious criminals. There must be a file in the palace. "
"Here"
The emperor was silent for a while and then said: "Ci Shou Palace cannot be involved, and neither can Dao Zong Xiao Yijiu has failed me, and he deserves to die. His four disciples, as well as most of the second-generation disciples in Qingle Mountain, deserve to die. If you can, don't. But Daozong can't fall because of this. You can pick some of your cronies and stuff them into Yiqiguan. Qingleshan must be controlled by me. Although Xiang Qingniu's temperament will not go to Xiao Yijiu's side. It¡¯s an old road, but you can¡¯t be without any precautions.¡±
"I'll give Lao Qi some face. After all, Xiang Qingniu is his junior brother."
Su Buwei said: "If Prince Zhong is in Chang'an, he will definitely be grateful for His Majesty's kindness."
"If Lao Qi is in Chang'an, Xiao Yijiu won't have the guts to follow Lao Liu and plot rebellion."
The emperor snorted and said: "They actually thought that my throne would be unstable without the help of Lao Qi. This is the most idiotic idea in the world. After Lao Qi left Chang'an City, Lao Liu became restless. At first, I just I thought he wanted to be like Lao Qi and become my right-hand man. Later I gradually discovered that his heart was bigger."
After the emperor walked for a while, he continued: "I will ask someone to bring Lao Liu later. I have something to ask him. After Fang Jie came back from Qingfeng Temple, he also asked him to come into the palace. After meeting them, I will go to the Martial Arts Academy in person. Pay a visit to the old dean. Without Lao Liu's rebellion, how could anyone know that the old dean was still alive. The old dean was indispensable for Taizu's ability to pacify the Central Plains and later established the Yanwu Academy, which has always been the pinnacle of the Sui Dynasty Everyone knows that Zhou Banchuan is the dean of the Yanwu Academy, and everyone knows that I respect him very much, but who knows that he is just the messenger between me and the old dean. "
Su Buwei had no idea about these things before today.
"Your Majesty this servant has something I want to ask, but I don't dare to ask."
Su Buwei hesitated and said.
"Who do you want to ask the old dean?"
The emperor stopped and looked at him, then smiled and said: "I don't blame you for being curious, but I'm afraid all practitioners will be curious. I ask you Who is the well-deserved leader in cultivation in the Central Plains for two hundred years? ?¡±
When Su Buwei heard this, his face suddenly changed: "Master of Wanjian Hall Wan Xingchen!"
"good"
The emperor laughed and strode forward: "Who would have thought that Wan Xingchen would be the first dean of the Yanwu Academy. Who would have thought that he would live for so long. I know that the nine levels of martial arts in the world are He said it, but he was too cunning at that time, the highest level is only set at the ninth level, so that the world has been in chaos for many years, the gap between the ninth level great practitioners is too big I thought, since the old dean has been born, then simply publicize it. Let everyone know that the Sui Dynasty has never lacked peerless masters. "
Su Buwei was stunned for a moment and then said: "I suddenly had an idea."
"explain"
"In the name of the old dean, should we launch a dance competition and call on people in the world to serve the country? Those who stand out can be personally evaluated by the old dean. The highest level in the world, the ninth grade, should have been changed long ago In the Jianghu People don't seek wealth, wealth, and good food, but they seek a reputation. With the prestige of the old dean, the whole world will be excited, and even those great practitioners who live in seclusion will come here because of his reputation. . People in the world would be overjoyed to receive a comment from the old dean.¡±
"Selecting people among them who can serve the country will also help the war in the northwest. When the Meng Yuan people enter the pass, they will inevitably bring a large number of practitioners with them. The Buddha Sect has such appeal, and the Buddha Sect ordered that the Meng Yuan people Practitioners dare not refuse. But our Sui Dynasty does not have such a sect and does not have such appeal. Even ifeven if your Majesty orders you to recruit them, it will be difficult for those who live in seclusion to come out. In one incident, Qingleshan's vitality was severely damaged"
Su Buwei said cautiously: "But now that the old dean has stepped forward, with his influence on the world, he can still do a lot of things for His Majesty."
The emperor was silent for a while, and shook his head in embarrassment: "I just don't know if the old dean is willing. He has lived in seclusion in the Yanwu Academy for so many years, and he just doesn't want to be involved in Jianghu affairs. If it weren't for Lao Liu's rebellion this time, he wouldn't It¡¯s hard to stand up and let him reenter the world.¡±
When he walked to the gate of Taiji Palace, the emperor pondered for a moment and said: "Try it, I will ask the old dean in person. But the court must send a capable person to do this. The matter in Chang'an City will be settled later." It¡¯s not too late to think about it.¡±
Su Buwei wanted to take this job, but in the end he didn't say anything. Because he knew that the emperor would never let him preside over this matter.
"There is no rush. Raising a large army to conquer the northwest is not something that can be done in a short while. The troops in the northwest are already empty, and it cannot be done in an instant if they are urgently mobilized from various places. The northwest now focuses on strict defense, and I will wait for my general After the troops are mobilized and arranged, we will discuss the matter of personal expedition. I plan to send people to the southwest to meet Luo Yao in a few days"
When it comes to military affairs, the emperor's brows furrowed again.
"I thought about recruiting people's braves, but it's not the right time Once the recruitment of people's braves begins, the people will inevitably guess whether the northwest war is serious. Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, people's braves have never been used, and only the Sixteenth Guards Army has been used in foreign wars. . This precedent should not be set unless absolutely necessary.¡±
Su Buwei sighed, thinking that being an emperor was too tiring.

On the way back from Qingfeng Temple, Shen Qingshan asked Fang Jie where he was going next and what he had not done yet. Fang Jie was silent for a while and replied: "It's time to eat."
Shen Qing slapped them for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then let's go eat."
"What to eat?"
Mu Xiaoyao asked.
Fang Jie thought about it carefully and filtered all the famous restaurants in Chang'an City in his mind. Over the past year or so, he has socialized a lot, and has basically eaten at restaurants in the east side of Chang'an City. All the delicacies from the mountains and seas appeared in his mind one by one, but he didn't find anything he wanted to eat.
¡°Here¡¯s some hot noodle soup.¡±
He smiled and found that when he was starving, the big bowl of hot noodles was the most attractive.
"good"
Mu Xiaoyao nodded: "I haven't eaten for a long time."
"When will Qilin come back?"
Fang Jie asked the big dog.
Da Quan smiled and said: "He followed Chen Xiaoru and the others to guard the houses of several nobles in the imperial court. It is estimated that it is time to withdraw. Yan Kuang rarely met someone who could compete with him, so he begged Qilin for a long time. Just follow."
"The students of the Yanwu Academy were not involved in this matter. Although they were transferred to the Tai Chi Palace, they were not used at all"
Fang Jie was silent for a while and shook his head: "I'm afraid not many students in this field can successfully graduate."
Shen Qingshan and the others all knew what Fang Jie meant. After all, many of the students in this martial arts academy were the children of officials who participated in the rebellion. The emperor transferred them to Taiji Palace, nominally to help suppress the rebellion, but in fact they were not imprisoned. Those courtiers who were very close to Prince Yi were afraid that their children's futures would also be ruined.
They were walking and chatting, and when they walked into Dong 23rd Street and approached the shop, they were suddenly stunned for a moment.
The hot noodle soup stall not far from the front of the shop is gone.
And Lao Wang, who sells hot noodle soup, and his wife were standing at the door of the shop, as if they were deliberately waiting for Fang to relieve them. Fang Jie and others dismounted and when they walked over, they realized that this old couple was very different from before. Lao Wang, who always looked very honest, and his submissive and rustic wife, stood upright today, and the aura of a small family in their bodies was gone.
"I have met Mr. Xiaofang"
Lao Wang and his wife clasped their fists at the same time.
Fang Jie was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood.
He smiled: "Unexpected, really unexpected."
Old Wang smiled apologetically: "Master Xiaofang, don't blame the two of us. Of course we can't refuse the task assigned by the Ouchi Guards Office. And before, we didn't know who you are, Master Xiaofang."
Fang Jie smiled and shook his head: "Are you leaving?"
Lao Wang nodded: "It's time to go It's a good thing for you, Mr. Xiaofang, that we leave."
Fang Jie understood what he meant. Since the people arranged by the Ouchi Guards to monitor the door of his shop were to be withdrawn, it proved that the emperor really trusted him. In a sense, this is indeed a good thing.
But Fang Jie still shook his head: "Noit's hard to eat the hot noodle soup dumplings you made."
"Do it for the last time?"
He asked tentatively.
Lao Wang hesitated for a moment, and his wife reached out and pulled his sleeve: "Okay, Mr. Xiao Fang wants to eat, then we will make it again. But the stalls are gone, so I need to borrow your kitchen."
¡°I¡¯m going to buy wine!¡±
The big dog smiled, turned around and ran out.
They all laughed, feeling particularly comfortable.
"Master Xiaofang, you will have a great future."
Lao Wang said sincerely.
¡¡
¡¡
In the shop
Fang Jie looked at the steaming food in front of him and the wine in the cup. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw a carriage stop at the door. The little eunuch Mu San got off the carriage, walked into the door with a smile and leaned over to salute. : "Master Xiaofang, Your Majesty is waiting for you to enter the palace. Can you leave now?"
Fang Jie sighed, picked up a bowl of hot noodle soup and walked out: "Let's go, grab a bowl of noodles to eat on the way."
Mu San got into the car with him, lowered the curtains and said in a low voice: "I heard several adults mention it before I came here. It seems that they intend to recommend you to go to the northwest"
Fang Jie was stunned, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Mu San continued: "Your Majesty hasn't agreed yet, but even General Xu Xiaogong said you can do it. I guess your Majesty may let you appear in the martial arts academy in advance. You have to be prepared. In addition there is one more thing, let me His Majesty, who was in a good mood, became angry."
"What's up?"
"I don't know what the specific matter is. I just vaguely heard His Majesty mention the General Luo Yao who is stationed in the southwest. It seems that Luo Yao sent troops to the capital for what purpose. I don't know. Your Majesty originally planned to send people to the Southwest. The person who conveyed the order had not been decided yet, but Luo Yao¡¯s people arrived first.¡±
Fang Jie's expression suddenly changed, thinking at this juncture, what kind of trouble could Luo Yao come to cause? - Didn't finish reading?
