- Chapter 300 Another good thing
March 20th, more than a month has passed since Prince Yi rebelled. A group of prisoners are executed every day at Caishikou in Chang'an City. Sometimes there are thousands of people, and sometimes there are hundreds of people. When the order to send Fang Jie to Yongzhou in the southwest came down, Fang Jie made a rough estimate. In the past month or so, the emperor had beheaded at least 30,000 heads.
This time when he went to Yongzhou, Fang Jie was an imperial envoy, so there were quite a few people accompanying him. In addition to the people around him, Luo Weiran also arranged for a pair of fifty Dauchi guards in flying fish robes to accompany them, Mu Xiaoyao. Rule these people as a thousand households. In addition, several officials from the Ministry of Rites accompanied him.
Fang Jie took Da Quan and Qilin away and went to Qingle Mountain to find the ten elite soldiers who protected Wu Yinyu. These ten people are Fang Jie's secret strength and cannot be exposed easily. So Fang Jie arranged for Da Quan and Qilin to contact them, and after finding them, they rushed directly from Qingle Mountain to Yongzhou. When you get there, don't join Fang Jie's group, but wait in secret for Fang Jie to contact them.
Since he had the experience of being locked up in a secret cell at the Ouchi Guards Office for half a year, Fang Jie has become more and more cautious in doing things. Although the black boy Yan Kuang, the scholar Chen Xiaoru, and the strong man Nie Xiaoju have been with him for a while, Fang Jie does not completely trust these three people. Relatively speaking, Fang Jie would rather trust the ten strangers outside the palace.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbgs out out????????? Fang Jie planned to leave Beijing early the next morning. After receiving the order, he decided to say goodbye to people he knew well first. He always had a premonition, vaguely feeling that if he left Chang'an this time, he might not come back for a long time. It was precisely because of this bad premonition that he had to bring everyone around him with him.
Of course, this feeling may just be that he is too cautious to worry about gains and losses.
Before he could go out, a servant in green clothes and a small hat arrived outside the shop first. Asking for advice, I handed over an invitation. Fang Jie looked at it and saw a long list of names on the invitation. They are all court officials, including the newly appointed Minister of Rites Yang Shouguan and Minister of War Zong Lianghu. There are also many noble children, and even a few princes and princes.
Logically speaking, invitations to people of this status should be sent out alone. But now that so many people with good status are gathered together, there is obviously some deep meaning. Fang Jie thought about it for a moment and then realized it, and couldn't help but smile in his heart. These big shots wanted to see him off and entertain him at the Mercury Tower. The reason why so many people only sent out one invitation has to do with Prince Yi's case.
Now is a sensitive time for the DPRK. If big figures like them send invitations to Fang Jie one after another, it will obviously attract a lot of people's attention. The censors and officials at the Censorship Station worked hard to recruit a few important figures. If they knew about it, they would inevitably participate in a few books.
These people obviously discussed it in private, and then decided to come together to see Fang Jie off. The next invitation for so many big people to eat at is not the most luxurious place in Chang'an City. He is deliberately low-key because he doesn't want others to grasp anything.
Although Prince Yi¡¯s conspiracy case is almost settled, its impact is becoming more and more widespread. The officials had been secretly hostile to each other, but now they were openly at each other's throats. Everyone hopes to take this opportunity to send their opponent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. As long as he has a relationship with Prince Yi, he will have to shed his skin.
"If Emperor Long Yan hadn't become so angry later that he lost his temper in the court and cursed several officials who were fighting each other, I'm afraid this situation would have gotten worse.
At such a sensitive time, they were sending Fang Jie off so naturally they couldn¡¯t be too ostentatious.
Of course, many of these people are now the backbone of the imperial court. If someone targets them, they will not be afraid at all. For example, Yang Shouquan, the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of Rites, still has some rare blood from the Sui royal family. In terms of seniority, he is still the cousin of the current emperor. Zong Lianghu, the minister of the Ministry of War, is becoming more and more important in the court. After all, the next major actions of the court will be centered on the Ministry of War.
Huaiqiugong is already too old. It is said that he got sick after Prince Yi's rebellion and has not left the house. Mou Liangbi's life and death are unknown now, and there is no news at all. Therefore, these two people are very likely to take a further step in a very short period of time.
Fang Jie naturally could not refuse the invitations from these big shots.
He told everyone a few words, changed his clothes and walked out of the shop. Following the green-robed servant, we found the Mercury Tower, which was not far from East 23rd Street.
The list on the invitation was already shocking enough, but when Fang Jie arrived at the Mercury Building, he discovered that the list was only a part of it.
Today, there are actually some big shots in Mercury TowerLuo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guards Department, Zhuo Buyi, who was second only to Luo Wei in the Ouchi Guards Department, and even Huai Qiugong, the old minister of the Ministry of Rites who could not complain of illness, came. And several young masters among them are equally eye-catching.
The young man with a fair face and a medium build is Yang Yansi, the prince of Guo County. The tall, thin man with an eagle nose and eagle eyes is Yang Yanlei, the prince of Ping County. The handsome young man standing behind the two of them is the eldest son of Xu County Prince Yang Kai. Yang Yanhui. Because the news of the defeat in the northwest was not announced, His Majesty did not have any decree to deal with it. But even so, Fang Jie still saw uneasiness and anxiety on the face of Xujun Prince Yang Yanhui, and he must have already known the news.
There were so many celebrities that Fang Jie suddenly felt a little uneasy.
¡¡

After greetings, everyone took their seats. Because there were a lot of people, and they were all famous people, the flattered Mercury House owner cleverly put up a temporary suspension sign outside, and then asked the staff to rearrange the hall, and then he personally went to the back kitchen to keep an eye on the dishes, lest he A slight flaw appears.
There were indeed a lot of people coming, and there were four tables occupied.
As the person with the highest seniority and the most prestige, Huai Qiugong, the Minister of Rites, was helped by everyone to sit at the head of the table in the middle. Since Fang Jie was the guest at the banquet today, he sat next to Huai Qiugong. On the other side of Huai Qiugong was Luo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guards Department. Several others were Yang Shouguan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zong Lianghu, the minister of the Ministry of War, and several princes of the princes.
Other officials sat down at other tables, chatting and laughing, and the scene was lively and harmonious.
Fang Jie greeted everyone with a stiff smile.
"Fang Jie"
Huai Qiugong, who was obviously not looking very good, smiled at him and said: "Look at today's scene, I am a little jealous of you. So many people are seeing you off, saying that you are now the most popular young man in Chang'an City Talent is not an exaggeration.¡±
Fang Jie hurriedly said a few words of humility, saying in his heart that you people were unwilling to reveal any information beforehand. I was still shocked when I got here.
"You are young and you are successful, and you are proud of the spring breeze."
Huai Qiugong said with a smile: "It reminds me vaguely of when I was young. The first time I traveled as an imperial envoy, it didn't seem like the scene it is today."
Luo Weiran said: "Mr. Huai, if you say that again, you will scare Fang Jie to the point of pissing his pants."
Huaiqiugong laughed loudly. Although he looked bad, he seemed to be in a good mood. He patted Fang Jie on the shoulder and said gently: "What are you afraid of? What I said is not a lie. Besides, do I need to flatter this little guy like him? If you have status and status, you can't be proud of living with your tail between your legs all day long. What¡¯s the use of status?¡±
"Young people are proud and should not be too depressed."
Fang Jie just laughed along, not understanding what these people meant today. However, Luo Weiran and Zhuo Buyi were both there, so it was obvious that these people did not have any ill intentions. Coupled with the fact that Huai Qiugong, who had such a high status, kept showing his goodwill, Fang Jie suddenly realized that he actually had such a status in Chang'an City.
It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t noticed anything, and I don¡¯t feel that I have really succeeded in doing anything.
"Master Xiaofang is young and promising, and he should be a role model for our generation. He is the first person to travel on behalf of the emperor at such an age since the founding of the Sui Dynasty."
Yang Yansi, the Crown Prince of Guo County, is a gentle and gentle man, and he speaks in a soft voice: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Xiao Fang is not yet seventeen years old this year, right?"
"Hui Shizi, that's right."
Fang Jie replied humbly.
Yang Yanlei, the prince of Pingjun County, smiled and said: "Generally, men aged sixteen or seventeen have just grown up, and they act and talk in a childlike manner, but Mr. Xiaofang has served the country for many years, and he made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion a while ago. I can only feel ashamed of myself."
Others also echoed, and they were all compliments that made people happy and uneasy. Fang Jie stayed with him for a while, then got up and left the table on the pretext of going to the toilet. When he left, he glanced at Zhuo Buyi. Zhuo Buyi understood and walked out of the hall with him.
"What's the matter?"
Fang Jie took Zhuo Buyi's hand and asked, "The scene is so big that people can't get used to it."
Zhuo Buyi smiled and said: "As for you, you don't know that a few days ago, when His Majesty and many adults were discussing matters in Dongnuang Pavilion, he mentioned to several bachelors that he intended to let you serve as the prince's attendant after returning from the southwest. University Shi Niu Huilun said that you are talented, knowledgeable, and have good character, and many people know this, so why don¡¯t you know?¡±
Fang Jie suddenly realized that Mu San was sent by the emperor to Eastern Xinjiang to deliver the decree, and the news in the palace was cut off. He has basicI didn't know about this The prince's attendant doesn't seem to be a high official, right? In Fang Jie's impression, aren't people like the attendants all children of the same age as the prince?
Seeing the confusion in Fang Jie's eyes, Zhuo Buyi rolled his eyes at him and said: "When Emperor Zhenzong was in power, after Huai Lao won the first prize, he was first named the prince's attendant and walked in the East Palace. Later he was the prince's young master, and then he was the prince's young master. Prince Tai Tu! Why does Huai Lao have such a high status? Because he is the emperor¡¯s master!¡±
Zhuo Buyi sighed: "I have become a very popular celebrity and I don't even know it yet. You are too closed-minded about this news."
"The Imperial Examinerisn't the Imperial Examiner someone who selects children of the same age as the prince from among the children of princes and ministers to play and study with the prince?"
Fang Jie asked in surprise.
"Why do you think so?"
Zhuo Buyi was surprised and said, "Who told you this?"
Fang Jie wanted to say that he knew it from watching TV series in his previous life, do you believe it, but naturally he couldn't say it, and just shook his head: "I am just a soldier in the border army, how can I know so many things. After all, I have had a little contact with the imperial capital, but I can't I¡¯m just confused.¡±
"The Prince is here to read"
Zhuo Buyi sighed: "This is a great status. Although the official position of the attendant is not high, his status is transcendent. When the prince is young, the emperor will choose young, promising and knowledgeable people from Wenyuan Pavilion and Shuhua Pavilion. Being a tutor for the prince is actually to supervise the prince's studies. After the prince's coming of age ceremony, the status of tutor will jump up. There are usually three people who teach the prince's studies, one teaches literature, one teaches martial arts. Responsible for the prince's safety. These three people are all attendants. When the prince reaches adulthood, they will be promoted to the prince's young master, the prince's young tutor, and the prince's young guardian. "
"It sounds very awesome!"
Fang Jie sighed.
"Nonsense!"
Zhuo Buyi said: "Although the rank of the Prince's Attendant is not high, the Prince's Young Master, the Prince's Young Master, and the Prince's Young Protector are all second-rank officials!"
"But I am neither from Wenyuan Pavilion nor Shuhua Pavilion."
Fang Jie asked with some confusion.
¡°I¡¯ll wait until you come back from the southwest.¡±
Zhuo Buyi said: "Several bachelors are fighting over you. No matter it is Shuhua Pavilion or Wenyuan Pavilion, they all want you."
"No wonder!"
Fang Jie suddenly realized what Huai Qiugong said before: "When you are young and proud, it is better to show off. If you have status and status and still have to keep your tail between your legs, then what do you do with status?"
"Your Majesty is deliberately letting the air out to give you more leverage."
Zhuo Buyi smiled: "I'm afraid Luo Yao doesn't dare to look down on you anymore I don't understand why His Majesty changed his mind. At first I thought he sent you because of your low status and low qualifications, and Luo Yao was wary of you. It will also be lowbut that's a good thing for you, isn't it?" - Didn't finish reading?
