After the Spring Hunting, Mo Han did not move out of the Yue Kingdom Palace as Li Shengxuan said. In addition, Fang Zilan shot and wounded Chen Xu, causing rumors inside and outside the court. Rumors spread about the ambiguous relationship between the selfish emperor and a certain capable female minister.
Fang Zilan didn't care much, and Li Shengxuan just heard it and gave it up. After all, neglect is better than blocking. Since the rumors have not been made public, it is difficult to intervene, lest they become more and more black.
However, I don't know whether it was the rumors that distracted the attention of the officials, or whether Mo Han used some tricks. Not only did the Yushitai have fewer rumors against him, but the opposition to the new rules seemed not as strong as at the beginning of the year.
When Fang Zilan heard Xiao Xuan'er talking to her, she couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Is Mo Han in the house today?"
"Here." Xiao Xuan'er nodded slightly, and Fang Zilan thought for a moment and said, "Miss Xiao, please find him, and say I have something to ask him."
"But..." As soon as Xiao Xuan'er opened her mouth, she was stopped by Fang Zilan, "At the government office, I have asked Zheng Yan to apply for leave on my behalf."
Xiao Xuan'er's eyes flashed with worry, and then she went to find Mo Han.
"Sister Lan, do you have a problem with me?" Mo Han looked tired. Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment and finally said: "I have heard about the new law you implemented, and it is different from the revised draft."
"So it turns out that Sister Lan wants to ask about this." Mo Han understood, and asked instead of answering: "Sister Lan, which one do you think is better or worse between the two?"
Fang Zilan was stunned, "It stands to reason that the revised draft is better, but..."
She didn't continue, and Mo Han said: "But it's hard to achieve, right?"
Fang Zilan nodded and breathed a long sigh of relief, "So you are retreating in order to advance?"
"Yes, the one who knows me is Sister Lan." Mo Han's lips curled up slightly, "The so-called progress is not comparing with the best, but comparing with the past. The world you and I come from, although the laws cannot be called perfect, But it is relatively complete. If compared with it, the Dajing law can be described as more than simple."
He paused and said, "Personal destiny is limited by the times. Even if you are as strong as an emperor, it is nothing more than that, let alone me? If I copy a set of things that do not belong to this era, the outcome can only be a feather thrown into the sea, and I will be buried in it. But it won’t make any waves. In this case, we might as well settle for the second best and make some concessions during the actual implementation process, which will make it easier for it to be accepted.”
Hearing this, Fang Zilan couldn't help but sigh, "I thought you would rather give in than give in, and I was afraid that you would hurt yourself, but I never thought... That's all. It's good that you know what's going on."
Do you know what's going on? Mo Han pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "Sister Lan, will you be disappointed if I can't protect everyone?"
"Why do I have to force you to do something that I can't do, and why should I be disappointed with you?" Fang Zilan said seriously: "Mo Han, it's amazing that the law can protect most people. I think you should Knows better than me."
As she spoke, she poured a cup of tea and placed it in Mo Han's hand, "People in the world try to build a supreme paradise, but they don't know that there may be hell behind it."
Mo Han was stunned for a moment, and then the smile returned to his face, "Isn't this what I said to you, Sister Lan? I didn't expect that you would return it intact."
"It's not like paying back." Fang Zilan poured herself a drink, and then said with a smile: "Just think of it as a reminder."
Mo Han smiled and shook his head, "I remember that when I was studying in the original world, I was somewhat cynical as a scholar. Only now, when I come to this world and experience the swords and blood, do I realize the value of plainness."
"Regret?" Fang Zilan didn't wait for his answer, so she teased to herself: "It's too late to regret. Who told you to show off your strength and jump into the water to save me without caring about yourself?"
Mo Han deliberately followed her words, and the two of them were noisy, as if they were back in their childhood, when they would spend most of their innocent time fighting over a piece of candy or a question.
However, the good times did not last long. There was a slight improvement in the implementation of the new laws on Mo Han's side, but news came from Fang Zilan's side that he was hosting King Rongan.
"Your Majesty means that I will be responsible for all arrangements during the period when King Rong'an and the princess are in Beijing?" Fang Zilan looked in disbelief at Xia Houzhang, who came to the government office to convey the order, and saw him nodding decisively: "Yes."
The short and powerful word made Fang Zilan breathless. She gritted her teeth and said, "When you enter Beijing tomorrow, do you want me to go to the city gate to greet you in person?"
"Yes." Xia Houzhang's always serious face now looked more rigid in Fang Zilan's eyes. She took the imperial edict from Xia Houzhang and said, "I, Fang Zilan, accept the edict."
After Xia Houzhang left, Fang Zilan summoned the officials of the government office to make arrangements for welcoming King Rong'an and the princess. In order to prevent King Rong'an from making mistakes, she finalized every detail, and she didn't feel at ease until everything was confirmed.
Early on the next morning, Fang Zilan led several relatively leisurely adults in the government office to guard the city gate. She had not originally planned to ask anyone else from the government office to come with her, but after thinking about it, Prince Rong'an was Li Shengxuan's imperial uncle after all, and he was the only one among his clan members, so there was always a pomp and ceremony.
So she called Zheng Yan to pick some soldiers, plus the soldiers from the large camp on the outskirts of Beijing assigned by Li Shengxuan, the number was quite impressive, and the scene was natural.
But then she thought about it. They were all warriors. When they stood at the city gate, they looked more like they were coming to fetch someone than to greet them. It was really too majestic.
As a last resort, she could only find a few less busy adults from the government office and ask them to support the scene.
Therefore, when King Rong'an and the princess arrived outside the capital, they saw a neat formation of soldiers in the distance. After seeing their chariots, they greeted them in unison. It was full of energy and the sound was so loud that the horses couldn't help but neigh a few times in shock.
Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly tightened the reins and calmed the horse. After it calmed down, King Rong'an came out of the carriage and looked at Fang Zilan, who had a serious look on his face with a gloomy expression. It has nothing to do with her.
"Master Fang, long time no see." King Rongan's expression softened slightly, and he exchanged a few words with Fang Zilan in a distant and polite manner.
"The prince is fine, I just don't know about the princess..." Fang Zilan paused deliberately and looked at the driver.
King Rong'an blocked her sight and said insinuatingly: "My little girl has always been weak. I have never seen such a huge battle. I'm afraid I still haven't reacted now. Please don't blame me for being disrespectful."
Fang Zilan waved her hand, "Your Majesty, your words are serious." She secretly said that even if this hadn't happened, I'm afraid Princess Rongan wouldn't have shown up.
After the plague, Princess Rongan took away Yun Qinghan's achievements and became a living Bodhisattva in the hearts of the people in the southeast under the confusion of King Rongan.
Bodhisattva has always refused to eat the smoke and fire of the world and accepts the worship of the world. How can there be any reason to appear openly in front of people? Therefore, the true face of Princess Rongan is rarely known in the southeast. It is only rumored that she looks like a goddess and is a fairy-like figure.
