"Is resentment useful?" Ah Shi lowered his head and said in a very soft voice, "This person has passed away, not to mention that the fire incident was not Mr. Fang's fault alone. If we talk about resentment, it is better to resent the unfairness of the world."
"Is the world unfair?" Fang Zilan muttered and repeated these words, with mixed feelings in her heart.
"Master Fang, don't worry about me." Ah Shi reluctantly raised the corners of his lips and raised a smile, "If the world is unfair, I will fight against it in my own way."
His voice was full of determination, and his eyes turned to Fang Lihui, "I am willing to be a hawk and a dog from now on. I wonder if Mr. Fang would like to keep me?"
Although these words were spoken humbly, the speaker's tone was calm and calm, and instead conveyed an aura of determination to win.
Fang Lihui looked at Ah Shi in front of him steadily, and he realized that he had no reason to refuse. On the one hand, Ah Shi knew too much, and he would not be able to feel at ease if he did not stay by his side. On the other hand, with the Duke of Yue, Zi Lan, he had to hold Ah Shi in his hand as a bargaining chip to ensure that everyone was in the same boat.
"If you want to stay, just stay." Fang Lihui raised his hand and spread his folding fan, returning to his usual cynical look.
Fang Zilan looked at the scene in front of her and suddenly felt that Ah Shi was drifting away from her. Maybe it’s not just Ah Shi, but also many people, such as Mo Han.
In a daze, she regretted pushing Mo Han to Li Shengxuan. But she knew that even if she didn't do this, Mo Han couldn't stay out of it. But why does she feel powerless?
When Mo Han heard Fang Zilan say that His Majesty asked him to participate in the revision of the law as a guest minister, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with warmth, which was more dazzling than the autumn sunshine.
Even the chill in Fang Zilan's heart was dissipated a lot. She felt at ease and told Zheng Yan repeatedly that after the imperial edict was issued, he would lead a team of government soldiers to escort Mo Han to the Ministry of Punishment every day. Ensure Mohan's safety.
Mo Han originally wanted to persuade Fang Zilan not to have such a big battle, but after Xiu Mu was over, he was not the only one issued an imperial edict, there was also an edict ordering Ouyang Zirou to take over the arsenal.
Suddenly, the situation exploded. Fang Zilan expressed support and stood on the cusp of the storm together with Ouyang Zirou. He was busier than before and it was already late at night when he returned home every day.
Seeing that Fang Zilan was so busy that her head was dangling, Mo Han was too embarrassed to let her worry about such a trivial matter anymore, so he simply let Zheng Yan lead the soldiers to follow him to the Ministry of Justice. At first, the people in the Ministry of Justice were quite critical, but when he thought of Wu Sheng, I didn't dare to say anything more.
The dispute between the DPRK and the Central Government over Ouyang Zirou's matter had intensified for several days, and in the blink of an eye it was early September.
Due to the interference of the Ouyang family and the encouragement of other ministers, Ouyang Zirou was never able to enter the court to express gratitude after receiving the decree, and she was even unable to take office. Li Shengxuan saw that everyone in the court had their own agenda, so he directly ordered Ouyang Zirou to enter the court.
The Ouyang family originally wanted to argue that Ouyang Zirou was ill and had not recovered, but Li Shengxuan insisted on seeing the person. His original words were "even if it means carrying the person, he must carry the person to the palace."
As a result, Ouyang Zirou's illness recovered quickly, and she officially entered the court to express her gratitude on the second day of September. After Fang Zilan heard the news, she also handed a note to the palace and invited herself to the court.
On the second day of September, Ouyang Zirou walked into the palace holding the imperial edict. Before she could express her gratitude, she was blocked by a royal censor's "outspoken admonishment". It was neither a move forward nor a retreat. It could only be done immediately. On the side.
The admonishing imperial censor saw that he was well prepared. As soon as he finished speaking, several adults agreed, representing the Pei family, the Wang family, and the Ouyang family.
Fang Zilan could clearly see that all the heads of Gongqing's family had arrived today, but none of them dared to directly refute His Majesty's face, so he let his subordinates charge into the battle, only to make Li Shengxuan unhappy.
The people at the Yushitai were always good at fanning the flames. Seeing the several Yushi doctors raising the flames higher and higher, Fang Zilan glanced at Su Yun, but he didn't seem to see it. He stared at the ground with a gloomy expression, wondering what he was thinking. What.
Zhuge Yu, who was opposite Su Yun, also said nothing and had no intention of helping. Seeing this, Fang Zilan sighed secretly. No one in this group could be relied on at the critical moment.
So Fang Zilan cleared her throat and was about to speak, but she heard an adult suddenly say: "Miss Ouyang not only has a family background, but also improved the crossbow by herself, and made great contributions to our capital's military. Why can't she take over the army?" Workshop?”
This was still true. Fang Zilan was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard the opposition from the imperial censor on the other side again, "Master Xu, what you said is wrong. How can the improvement of crossbows be the result of Miss Ouyang alone? I heard that in the capital, All the famous blacksmiths were recruited by Miss Ouyang, who knows who was responsible for improving the crossbow?"
Hearing this, Fang Zilan clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves into fists. It was really unreasonable to say so blatantly that Ouyang Zirou had stolen the blacksmith's credit and should not be awarded the title because of her evil origins.
Sure enough, Ouyang Zirou couldn't help but stood up and knelt upright in the center of the hall, "Your Majesty, I am not the only one who improved the crossbow, but everything from the design to the drawings was done by me. I'm not good at blacksmithing, so I couldn't do the last step with my own hands. If someone wants to question His Majesty's will because of this, I am willing to make an improved crossbow with my own hands to quell the doubts."
Fang Zilan took a deep breath. Ouyang Zirou, a silly girl, someone else had set up a condom for her, but she actually got into it. If it had been left to her to build it herself, there would have been many unreasonable reasons to postpone her taking over the armory indefinitely.
She thought about this and took a step in the direction of Ouyang Zirou. However, before she took the second step, she heard Li Shengxuan say: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. When Miluo invaded, the whole court There was a lot of talk and talk, but no one dared to fight with real swords and guns. I didn't ask them to do everything personally at that time, and I won't ask Miss Ouyang to do so now."
Before he finished speaking, the entire palace was silent. Only Fang Zilan could not help but slightly raise the corners of her lips. It seemed that she had no chance to speak.
However, Li Shengxuan mentioned her in the next sentence, "When it comes to military armaments, military commanders have the most say. Duke Yue, I see that you took two steps, and it shouldn't be to stretch your muscles. Do you think you have something to say?"
Fang Zilan calmed her expression and said with a salute: "Your Majesty, when Miss Ouyang improved the crossbow, although I was not fully involved, I can still see her talent and intention. If the arsenal is handed over to her, the Dajing Arms We can look forward to it. As a general who protects the country and protects the land, I can rest assured."
"The Duke of Yue said this..." As soon as Li Shengxuan opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the imperial censor who had just given his advice, "Your Majesty!"
