Ye Jinnan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Anyway, you just need to remember that this person's identity is not as simple as it seems. Before we came, the general specially ordered that if we encounter this person, we should observe it. I I heard that the Major General had some troubles with him when he was in Chang'an. The Major General is in the wrong, but you should understand With the court's reliance on the general, if Fang Jie is really a deputy of the border army with no background, will the court not stand? On the Major General¡¯s side?¡±
"Have you had any trouble with the Major General?"
Lu Ou frowned: "In this case, why should you be polite to him? I still say the same thing, this is in the Imperial Capital, and everyone in the past is a waste with over-the-top vision. If it were placed in Yongzhou"
"Shut up!"
Ye Jinnan said: "I promised to bring you here, not to cause trouble. In Yongzhou, and even the entire Southwest Fourth Road, because you are a left-winger, everyone will give you face, so it makes you more arrogant and domineering . You are a member of the general's guard, and the general is very indulgent to you, but don't think that the world is only as big as Yongzhou! If you do something extraordinary and cause trouble for the general, you don't need the general's military law. I can kill you!"
Lu Ou¡¯s expression changed, and he didn¡¯t know what to say.
Ye Jinnan's tone turned gentle and said: "When you were young, you worked beside the general because you were born brave. The general behaved domineeringly, so you aimed at being a general and learned everything from him. There is nothing wrong with that. But you should know the depth. , The reason why the general is domineering is because he wants to guard the entire southwest of the Sui Dynasty. If he is not tough, will the local officials be convinced? Will the barbarians be afraid? But if you bring this temper to the imperial capital, you are making a big mistake ¡The general cannot disobey the imperial orders and His Majesty¡¯s will, why do you think I am the best in the world?¡±
"The general is the best in the world"
Lu Ou replied sarcastically.
"Neither does the general!"
Ye Jinnan said solemnly: "You must always remember that His Majesty is the one! Just what you just said, if outsiders listen to it and join in, it will cause trouble for the general!"
"II remember it, isn't it okay?"
Lu Ou sighed: "I just feel aggrieved that a little Ranger General can show off in front of me."
"I have said before, Fang Jie is by no means such a simple person. We came at just the right time. There happened to be a big chaos in the capital before it was calmed downPrince Yi made a rebellion, and His Majesty took down twenty-three out of ten adults in the court in one fell swoop. What's the benefit of irritating the emperor when he is full of murderous intent? Other meritorious ministers have not been rewarded, but Fang Jie has been directly promoted from a student of the Yanwu Academy to a fifth-rank ranger general, plus a first-class viscount In all the years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, have you ever heard of anyone having such an encounter? "
"If we invite guests to Hongxiu tomorrow, Fang Jie will most likely not come."
Ye Jinnan sighed slightly: "You should have heard a saying that the people who should not be offended the most are the emperor's servants, prime ministers and housekeepers, because their words can affect the judgment of the emperor or the prime minister. Fang Jie is the imperial envoy arranged by His Majesty to go to the southwest. , which is enough to show how much your Majesty values ??him. If you offend this person because of your inappropriate words, wouldn¡¯t the general¡¯s wishes be in vain if he says something in front of His Majesty?¡±
"Think about it, if the eldest princess can really marry the young general, then the status of the general will naturally be improved to a higher level. But if Fang Jie is allowed to say something unfavorable to the general in front of His Majesty because of your recklessness, do you think Will the general allow you to be arrogant?"
"What should we do?"
Hearing what Ye Jinnan said, Lu Ou's expression also changed.
"I will personally visit Fang Jie tonight."
Ye Jinnan was silent for a while and said, "I have to think about what gift to give."
"This is a small matter."
Lu Ou approached Ye Jinnan and asked, "When will the big event be done?"
Ye Jinnan frowned, glared at Lu Ou and said, "I have my own arrangements. If you say such things casually, don't blame me for not caring about our comrades."
Lu Ou was startled for a moment and drank all the tea in the cup: "This is not allowed and that is not allowed. This trip is very uncomfortable. You can just think about it here. I want to go out for a walk."
"where did you go?"
Ye Jinnan asked.
Lu Ou said: "I heard that all the girls in the Red Sleeves are as beautiful as gods, especially the one who is even more like a fairy. Now that we are in Chang'an, there is no reason not to go and see them."
"Don't cause trouble."
Ye Jinnan confessed.
Lu Ou said: "Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child and I have to find someone to take care of me. I just feel depressed and go listen to a song."Just watch a dance, what else can happen? I won¡¯t follow you when you go to Fangjie in the evening. I¡¯ll go directly back to the inn after you come back from Hongxiu Zhao. I feel sick when I see that guy now, and I wish I could never see him again. "
Ye Jinnan gave a few more instructions and sent two soldiers to follow Lu Ou. He was really worried about this Lu Ou, and he couldn't really do anything to Lu Ou as he said. Lu Ou has been working with the General since he was a child, and later naturally became the General's personal soldier. The General likes Lu Ou's simple and straightforward temperament very much. In addition, he has been friends with Major General Luo Wen since childhood, so it is inevitable that he will be domineering.
In the southwest, everyone knows that Yongzhou is most famous for its young masters and dogs.
The young master refers to Luo Wen, the only son of the general. This man is smart, but he is too arrogant. There is no one in Yongzhou that he takes seriously. Although he does not act recklessly, he often does things that make people speechless. And this Lu Ou is a mastiff dog owned by Luo Wen. Whoever Rowan asked him to bite, he would immediately pounce on them and bite them. But precisely because of this loyalty, both the general and the major general were particularly fond of him.
Although Ye Jinnan was a fourth-grade general, he did not dare to do anything to Lu Ou.

Because of Prince Yi¡¯s rebellion, the Yanwu Academy has not yet held normal classes. After all, many students were involved. On the day of Prince Yi's rebellion, students from the Yanwu Academy were ordered to guard the Tai Chi Palace. In fact, when they arrived at the palace, they were immediately supervised by the Ouchi Guards.
When Fang Jie arrived at the Yanwu Academy, he and Qiu Yu only learned how to control the vitality of heaven and earth in private. Today, the tooth named Lu Ou made a trip and wasted a lot of time. There was no point in rushing to the martial arts academy after checking the time. Fang Jie simply went to East 18th Street to have a look, and then planned to go to the Red Sleeves. Look at the old cripple.
Since these days, Fang Jie and the old cripple rarely get together. It took more than a year for Fang Jie to change from his initial resentment towards the old man to his later respect. To be honest, when the old cripple was in Fan Gu, he didn't have a good impression of Fang Jie. Who would have thought that after arriving in Chang'an, they would actually have the status of master and disciple.
Fang Jie bought a pack of braised pork and a few bottles of old wine when he was halfway there. There was no rush, just walked towards Hong Xiuzhao as if taking a walk. Although the rebellion was not over for many days, people were still talking about this matter in the streets and alleys, but there was no seriousness on the faces of the people, and most of their faces were expressions of contempt and disdain when talking about this matter. It seems that in their eyes, Prince Yi's rebellion is nothing more than a joke.
Ordinary people, no one thought about how much impact this rebellion had on the court and the Sui Dynasty. They will not speculate on how much damage this rebellion will cause. In their view, those officials in the imperial court who threatened the rebellion should naturally be killed, and their family members were not necessarily innocent. Perhaps the common people will sympathize with the families of those traitors, but few people think about whether they deserve to die or not.
From their point of view, it doesn¡¯t matter if a group of officials in the court die, and many new people will soon replace them. Who would have thought that this rebellion would more or less affect the interests of those wealthy families, and how they would bargain with the court in order to protect their own interests.
Will the emperor make concessions or remain firm?
Fang Jie looked at the various human emotions on the street, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Yes the people just talked about it as a more exciting story, because the rebellion did not change their lives at all. They would do whatever they had to do every day as usual, and they would not be affected by Prince Yi's affairs.
Thinking of this, Fang Jie couldn't help but think, if a foreign enemy invaded Chang'an, would the people still behave like this and act like it had nothing to do with them?
When he thought of this, Fang Jie couldn't help but shook his head and shook off the chaotic thoughts.
¡°If you can¡¯t be loyal to this country and shed your last drop of blood to protect this country, what¡¯s the point of caring about the thoughts of the people?
Fang Jie smiled mockingly and asked himself, are you really ready to be a Sui person? Are you really a Sui person?
He can¡¯t give himself the answer because the answer is hidden somewhere waiting for him to dig out.
But Fang Jie is sure of one thing, that is, when he has to make a choice, he will never stand on the opposite side of Sui. He might not risk his life for the Yang royal family, nor would he put himself to death for the city of Chang'an. But he also won't do anything to harm the country. Maybe he's just not ready to be a typical Sui person. Or maybe, he has been an atypical Sui person all his life.
He raised his head and saw the new green sprouting from the weeping willows on the roadside. Looking at the willow branches swaying in the wind, I suddenly thought that maybe I was thinking too complicatedly. As he said to the emperor, the Sui Dynasty is like a towering tree, and it is impossible not to have it.?A borer may break your muscles and bones when you dig it out, but as long as spring comes, the paper will still spit out patches of tender green.
As long as you give Tai Sui some time, the trauma will heal on its own. Leaving a scar is not necessarily a bad thing, at least it can remind people of the pain they have experienced.
For example, the northwest.
Just thinking about it, I returned to the east twenty -three streets unknowingly. The red sleeves were on the other end of the street. It was not particularly far away from the shop of Fang Jie.
When Fang Jie walked not far from Hong Xiuzhao, his attention was suddenly attracted by a burst of noise. He raised his head and looked over, and saw many people gathered at the entrance of Hong Xiuzhao, all looking inside.
Fang Jie was startled, wondering who could be so blind and dare to come to Hong Xiu Zhao to cause trouble?
He walked over quickly, and a few meters away he heard someone in the red sleeves shouting angrily: "A bunch of bitches, what the hell are they all pretending to be saints? Damn it! I want to sleep with you because I want to give you face, really Being a high-minded dancer and singer? It¡¯s a joke! If you keep pretending to be like me, don¡¯t blame me for demolishing your broken building!¡±
"If you're a bitch and want to build a chastity memorial, I'll fuck you! Isn't it just that you touched the ass of a slutty bitch? Do you want money? Okay, then let's talk about it before I sleep with you. How much do you want for that? I asked her to come out to dance, but she said she was not at home Damn it, do you think I'm easy to bully? Even the bitch in Chang'an City dares to look down on me, do you know who I am? !¡±
When Fang Jie heard these words, he was really angry.
