"King Rong'an's move of borrowing a knife to kill people sounds vicious and clever, but in fact it is short-sighted and extremely shallow." Fang Zilan's expression became colder, "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, but King Rong'an didn't know that he used the hands of General Xiahou to eradicate the Mo family. After that, there will be no one available. The weak defense in the southeast of Dajing not only gives the pirates a chance to wreak havoc, but also if the Miluo people find out, they are afraid of coming back. For the sake of selfish interests, internal fighting has come to this point. It sounds like It’s something an overprotective person would do.”
"If the truth is true, we must protect the Mo family." A trace of uneasiness flashed across Awan's face, "Otherwise, once war breaks out in the southeast, not to mention whether your position as the Duke of Yue will be stable. Just saying that fighting on the battlefield is definitely inevitable. Then your body..."
Everyone was whispering, but Fang Chongzheng standing among them was indifferent. All the officials were filled with indignation because of Chen Xuyi. Could it be that they had forgotten the original intention of not making false claims when the Yushitai was established?
The Su family is weak and doesn't like to offend others, so it has always been a peacemaker. Today's Yushitai, under the control of the Su family, is almost the same as grass on the wall.
If no one warns the royal censors, in the long run, rumors will spread to the public, which will not only disturb the court, but may also be used as a knife to kill people without blood.
It seems that Li Shengxuan also took a fancy to this, so he allowed Fang Zilan to openly shoot Chen Xu. only……
Fang Chongzheng sighed imperceptibly. There are people like Chen Xu in Yushi Taichung who are both attentive to the wind and the other, and there are also upright and prudent people. If they are frightened by today's situation and maliciously intimidated by others, how many times will they be? Now, I'm afraid there will be no one in the court who really dares to speak.
The person who had the same worries as Fang Chongzheng was Zhuge Yu, but he did not think that far-term. Instead, he suddenly remembered that he met his brother, Master Yuan, at Baiye Temple during the Lantern Festival not long ago.
At that time, Master Lioyuan seemed to have casually mentioned that Fang Zilan had gone to Baiye Temple to refill the two ever-bright lamps provided, and then talked about Li Shengxuan's attitude towards her in a vague way. Although there were only a few words, it was enough to make Zhuge Yu Be wary.
Father, like son. Even if he couldn't understand Li Shengxuan's attitude toward Zi Lan, Master Liaoyuan could always see clearly. Since he wanted to make some points, he had to pay attention.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yu's expression became a little colder. After Li Shengxuan summoned the imperial doctor to take Chen Xu back to the palace, and everyone dispersed, he followed Li Shengxuan and Fang Zilan and left quietly.
Li Shengxuan glanced at the two people following him, motioned to Xia Houzhang to step back first, and then lightly curled his lips, "I remember that the last time I ran a horse race with you two, we were in the north."
Fang Zilan and Zhuge Yu were both startled when they heard this, but their stupefaction was different. The former was thinking about the lingering fear of surviving a narrow escape in the Western Territory, but the latter was thinking about the half-sincere and half-motivated general's words at that time - hoping that His Majesty would obey his wishes.
Li Shengxuan looked at the two people whose faces were full of words and couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you two have such expressions?"
Fang Zilan coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. I just haven't picked up the bow and shot for too long, so my arm is twisted. Your Majesty, don't worry about it."
Zhuge Yu also coughed. He had always appreciated Fang Zilan's outspokenness, but after today, he probably had more to admire. Her whole show of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger was even more realistic than him. a bit.
"Master Zhuge, are you feeling unwell?" Fang Zilan looked at Zhuge Yu. He shook his head and said nothing. For a moment, there was only the sound of the wind in the forest, rustling the treetops and leaves.
"Fang Zilan, after today, except for your government affairs, please don't interfere with anything else." Li Shengxuan suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "I understand. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never interfere with Mo Han's implementation of the new law."
She paused as she spoke, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes, "However, if someone is blind and intends to harm Mo Han, I will not sit idly by and ignore it."
"Master Fang, you..." Zhuge Yu flicked his sleeves and did not continue.
Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan steadily, "As long as I'm here, you don't need to worry about Mo Han's safety. Just take care of the government affairs. Di Rong's Ministry will send envoys to Beijing next month, and King Rong'an will also bring them. When the princess comes to Beijing, there must be no mistakes inside or outside the government office."
Fang Zilan looked serious. Di Rong's tribe paid tribute every year and sent envoys to Beijing every April. This was not unusual. But why did King Rongan come to Beijing? With the princess...
Seemingly seeing through the doubts in her mind, Zhuge Yu explained: "Princess Rongan has reached the age of marriage, and the Empress Dowager had promised Prince Rongan to come to Beijing to choose a son-in-law years ago. Although the situation in Beijing has changed in a few months, But the marriage of a clan daughter should not be taken lightly."
"I see." Fang Zilan muttered in a low voice. The government office was in charge of southeastern affairs. Apart from officials, the one who had the most dealings with him was King Rong'an.
Since the Mushan Pass Rebellion and the epidemic, King Rong'an has maintained a lot of self-discipline, and he has been courteous and courteous when dealing with government officials, hiding his cold and cruel heart and secret dirty methods very well.
As for the ghost gate, it seems that there is no contact with King Rongan anymore. However, Fang Zilan's heart was like a mirror, and Ji Ningtian just didn't let her find out. After all, how could he give up such a powerful chess piece as King Rong'an so easily?
Li Shengxuan saw Fang Zilan thinking deeply and said softly: "Since you know what's going on, I'm relieved."
Do you know what to expect? Fang Zilan couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself. The last time she met King Rongan, she said that it was either you or me who would die in the future. She never thought that less than two years later, they would meet again.
There was a turbulent undercurrent in the capital, and neither she nor King Rongan dared to attack each other in the capital. It's just that they greet each other with smiles on the surface, but secretly they have their own agendas. It's best if they can live in peace and harmony.
People in a foreign land seemed lonely even during the holidays. Fang Zilan felt very uncomfortable when she thought about this. She casually took the wine glass on the table, but the moment she smelled the aroma of the wine, she suddenly thought of Awan.
Before she left, Awan gave her numerous warnings and repeated them to her for a long time. One of them was that she should not drink alcohol. Recalling Awan's stern face and exhausted look, she was still obedient and put the wine glass back immediately.
She misses her family even more during the festive season, and speaking of it, she still misses Awan a little. If Vice General Cao hadn't been seriously injured and needed someone to take care of him, Awan would have followed her to Lin City, and she wouldn't be like this alone.
When Murong Xun saw Fang Zilan sighing, he took the initiative to ask: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, does Mr. Fang miss his relatives?"
