On the day when Li Shengxuan summoned Fang Zilan and King Rong'an to the court at the same time, as expected, all the officials agreed in unison, claiming that the white jade tiger talisman should be handed over to King Rong'an for safekeeping.
As for the reasons, they were all high-sounding. The White Jade Tiger Talisman was originally used to command the army in the southeast. King Rong'an was the younger brother of Emperor Tai'an and the respected head of the clan, so it was perfect to put it in his hands...
Some people even vaguely mentioned that this move could not only suppress the southeast camp to prevent Zhou Lang from showing off his military exploits, but also scare the Xiahou family in the land of Baiyue...
Fang Zilan watched with cold eyes, seeing the saliva of the officials flying and the soldiers of the southeast camp who had resisted Miluo's invasion, and the Xiahou family who had exterminated the pirates to ensure the peace of the people. They were demoted to the point where they had to guard against their wolfish ambitions. She felt it was unspeakably ridiculous. .
When the war breaks out, they are the impregnable defense line of Dajing, even if they are shattered to pieces, they will not hesitate.
At the time of Hai Qing and He Yan, they were the tigers and wolves with great achievements and evil intentions, and they were a thorn in the flesh of their colleagues.
The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked. When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. Nothing more than that.
Even if the Xiahou family stayed in the old land of Baiyue, some people would still care about her, let alone her, the Duke of Yue, who was outstanding in the capital?
Among the echoes in the hall, Zhuge Yu's objection seemed particularly abrupt, "Your Majesty, the White Jade Tiger Talisman has always been held by the generals who guard the southeast. I think it is inappropriate to hand it over to King Rong'an."
As soon as he said this, all the officials were in an uproar. No one expected him to come forward. After all, when the matter was brought up a few days ago, he acted noncommittal, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Of course, Baiguan did feel that this matter had nothing to do with him. What could the future head of the Zhuge family, the head of the official department and known for his strategizing, have to do with Hu Fu?
Just because the Zhuge family has been out of the battlefield for so many years, these people in the hall have long forgotten that back then, someone in the Zhuge family also held this white jade tiger talisman, and protected the people with blood all over their bodies in the light of swords and shadows.
"I agree with Lord Zhuge's words." Wei Subaru said with a calm face, and took a step forward to stand side by side with Zhuge Yu. "King Rong'an has a noble status and cannot get involved in killing things like the White Jade Tiger Talisman, so don't force it."
"Master Wei Guogong, you..." King Rong'an did not expect Wei Subaru to stand up and object. Before he could argue, he heard a censor next to him say in a weird voice: "Master Wei Guogong is a romantic man, and he can still command the suburbs of Beijing. Daying, let alone King Rongan..."
"What did you say?" Wei Subaru narrowed his eyes and interrupted the censor's words without hesitation. The chill that spread all over his body made the censor shiver and said in a panic: "nothing……"
King Rong'an secretly scolded the censors at Yushitai for being weak. He didn't dare to speak when he was frightened by Wei Subaru, but he couldn't speak for himself, for fear that it would sound like he was impatient for the White Jade Tiger Talisman. Then the leisurely look that he had worked hard on before would be in vain.
When the two sides were in a dilemma, they suddenly heard Fang Zilan say quietly, "I heard that hundreds of officials wrote that the white jade tiger talisman was originally intended to be used as a wedding gift for Princess Rongan. How come it is now that King Rong'an wants to use the white jade tiger talisman as a wedding gift?" Do you have it for yourself?"
The understatement made King Rong'an's expression change imperceptibly, "Your Excellency, the Duke of Yue, be careful, I have not..."
"Not to mention whether it is appropriate to use the white jade tiger talisman as a gift." Fang Zilan abruptly stopped King Rongan's words and said to herself: "Let's just say that Princess Rongan is a living Bodhisattva in the hearts of the people in the southeast, and she has a kind heart. It’s beyond the reach of human beings. How could such a fairy-like person accept a gift like a white jade tiger talisman? Isn’t it considered a defilement?”
As soon as Fang Zilan said this, all the officials looked at each other and couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment. After all, Princess Rong'an was very private and never appeared in front of others. Who knew what she was thinking?
But as Fang Zilan said, the more famous you are, the more indifferent and uncontroversial you become, because once you are involved in the whirlpool of power, even a living Bodhisattva cannot protect yourself, let alone Princess Rongan?
"It doesn't matter whether we let her go or not." Fang Zilan sighed softly, "As long as I can see Warners, I will always find a way to bring her back. But what I'm afraid of is that I won't be able to see Warners at all tomorrow. Nas, that’s bad.”
"If we can't see Warners tomorrow, what do Sister Lan want to do?" Zhuge Yu looked at the person in front of him steadily, feeling that his uneasiness was getting stronger.
A look of determination flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, "Then we can only go deep into the tiger's den, and block the killing god with humans until Warners is rescued."
"Such a bold move is too risky." Zhuge Yu shook his head in disapproval, but Fang Zilan raised the corner of his mouth, "A Yu is worried about me?"
Zhuge Yu didn't answer Fang Zilan's question, and she didn't care much. She continued talking to herself, "I remember that Mr. Zhuge was also one of the people who were deeply suspicious of me. Even during the Battle of the Northern Territory, I Even though I tried my best to escape death, Mr. Zhuge never really trusted me. Why are you worried about my life and death now?"
She calmly changed her title, and her expression became a bit sharper, "If I die, the stone in the hearts of Master Zhuge and Your Majesty will surely fall, right?"
"Times change, and people change." Zhuge Yu said quietly, his clear eyes becoming much deeper, "Master Fang has extraordinary courage and extraordinary skill, and his style of conduct makes people admire him. Without any evidence, Before, I chose to trust Mr. Fang. But..."
He paused as he spoke, "Master Fang, as a woman, is too desperate."
Fang Zilan chuckled. There was bitterness and helplessness in the smile, but more of it was determination, "Master Zhuge comes from a noble family. He is used to smooth sailing and never expends too much effort. But I am different. If I don't work hard, Maybe I can’t even survive.”
Hearing this, Zhuge Yu couldn't help but be stunned. Only then did he realize that he was also the one with prejudice.
This world is not fair to everyone. Some people can live well and live well just because of their birth, but some people have to do their best just to have enough food and clothing.
In front of him, Fang Zilan, as a woman, stood in the high position of the Lord of the North, which was like walking on the edge of a knife.
There were so many pairs of eyes staring at him from behind, and it was hard to guard against both open and covert attacks. She didn't have the confidence to be invincible, but she used her swords and swords to fight for her own place.
"There's one more thing, I..." Fang Zilan's voice brought Zhuge Yu back from his thoughts. He looked at the person in front of him who was embarrassed and hesitant to speak, and said: "Sister Lan, if you have something to say, you can just say it. As long as I can do it Those who arrive will not hesitate to go through fire and water.”
