In the next few days, the Duke of Yue's palace and General Cao's palace arranged a marriage, and arranged it without any reservations, which caused a lot of discussion in the capital. It was all because of Bai Xiu Niang's status as a widow. However, no matter what the outside world said, the matter did not reach the court.
It wasn't that the censors knew each other, but that on the first day when the news came out, Fang Zilan went to the censorship station and beat up the censors who had prepared a complaint.
At first, they had hidden intentions, but after realizing that Fang Zilan and Cao Hong had successfully handled the matter and there were no mistakes to correct, they had no choice but to give up. After all, at this juncture, no one wants to mess with two hot dignitaries.
In addition, the Persian envoy arrived in Beijing, and the envoy's attitude was extremely arrogant, as if Beijing would start a war without giving an explanation. At a time when the DPRK is in urgent need of military commanders to support the situation, how can we demolish the government of the Duke of Yue and the government of General Cao?
Speaking of the Persian mission, Fang Zilan was also present when Li Shengxuan summoned them, so they had met them once. One of the lieutenants she knew was someone close to the head of the Sasanian family. He was courteous and courteous. But that envoy...
Li Shengxuan meant to wait until the Di Rong delegation arrived in Beijing before making a decision. Unexpectedly, the official who wanted to carry his arrogance to the sky immediately started making a fuss in the main hall, showing no grace at all.
Li Shengxuan naturally didn't give him a good look, but after all, Di Rong's ministry was at fault in this matter. Dajing was in the wrong, so he couldn't be too harsh, so he sent King Yucheng Li Qiyou to entertain him.
It stands to reason that unless the emperor's relatives are on an envoy, it will not be Li Qiyou's turn, the most distinguished prince in the capital, to personally entertain them. The current arrangement has given the Persian envoy enough face.
However, Persia was kicking his nose and face, causing Li Qiyou to spin around. However, Li Qiyou always greeted him with a smile. Before the Di Rong delegation arrived in Beijing, although there were twists and turns, there were no mistakes.
When Fang Zilan listened to Xiao Xuan'er talk about the movements of the Persian mission, she asked thoughtfully, "Persia is making such troubles to become a king. Are the Empress Dowager and Queen Mother unable to sit still?"
"Indeed." Xiao Xuan'er nodded slightly, "But His Majesty's move is because he has taken a fancy to King Yucheng's noble status. From this point of view, the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother can't say much, but..."
She paused and said: "The two empresses in the palace have never been kind to each other. Your Majesty couldn't vent his anger, so he turned his anger on the empress."
Fang Zilan frowned, "What's the way to vent your anger?"
"The middle palace has nothing to do, and the two empresses often make a fuss about it. However, the empress is smart, clever, and quite skillful, and it is not something that the two empresses can manipulate at will." After Xiao Xuan'er said that, she looked at Fang Zilan With a gloomy expression, he coughed slightly and changed his voice, "Master Fang, have you read the list of Di Rong's envoys?"
"I've seen it, it's exactly what you said." Fang Zilan said quietly: "Mia Gu is also among them."
"Miago is Di Rong's general and is known as Di Rong's best warrior. This time he entered the capital with the envoy. Since Di Rong is in confrontation with Persia, he can only rely on the Dugu family to take care of him." Xiao Xuan'er. He pursed his lips and said, "I'm worried..."
She didn't say anything further, and Fang Zilan calmed her expression, "It's useless to worry. Miago has already entered the capital. If he's not pleading guilty, he's threatening. But in the capital, it's not his turn to run wild. The Dugu family in the west has been guarding it for many years, and General Duguxin suppressed him. Stay there, Persia and Di Rong dare not act rashly."
Xiao Xuan'er looked hesitant, and Fang Zilan asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Mr. Zuo, the servant of the Yun family in West Wucheng, has also entered the capital." As soon as Xiao Xuan'er finished speaking, Fang Zilan was stunned, "What did you say?"
"The sisters from Qianjinfang accidentally discovered that Mr. Zuo had entered the capital. They chased him all the way to the capital, but there was no trace of him." Xiao Xuan'er looked worried, "Both missions are already in the capital. Mr. Zuo has entered the capital at this time. There is a plan."
"Has Prince Zhongzheng's Mansion checked?" Fang Zilan looked solemn. Xiao Xuan'er nodded and said, "I checked. Mr. Zuo is not hiding in it. Everything else is as usual."
"You send people to continue to search for the whereabouts of Mr. Zuo." Fang Zilan lowered his voice and said: "And Murong Qing, we must also keep a close eye on him. Mr. Zuo cannot fail to do anything when he enters the capital."
Xiao Xuan'er accepted the order and left. Fang Zilan was restless. He had been paying close attention to the Di Rong mission since it arrived in Beijing. However, the Di Rong mission's attitude was unexpectedly good. They plead guilty and accepted punishment readily, which made the Persian mission seem aggressive. .
The Persian envoy deliberately provoked several times, but the Di Rong envoy was neither humble nor overbearing. In the end, the Persian envoy was a little reluctant to step down, so he simply stopped making trouble and accepted the apology from Di Rong's envoy.
Seeing that the two parties reached a friendly agreement with the help of Dajing, Fang Zilan's heart calmed down a little. Unexpectedly, as the mission was about to leave Beijing, she was involved in the incident, which had nothing to do with it.
"Boss, the slippery envoy from Di Rong's tribe said that Miagu came with the group this time, firstly to express his sincerity, and secondly because he has long admired your style, boss, and wants to have a discussion with you." Cao Hong repeated what the official said, and Fang Zilan put down the medicine bowl in her hand, "What did your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty said that this matter is all voluntary. He will never force me to do it. Boss, I will let you do what you can." Cao Hong hesitated and said, "Boss, how do you want to reply to the gentleman from the palace?"
Fang Zilan was half leaning on the main seat, silent. She had suffered some cold in the past two days and took leave yesterday. It happened that the Di Rong delegation brought up the discussion with His Majesty, quite intending to take advantage of others' danger. She was so determined to win, as if she was destined to fail due to illness.
Although it is just a discussion and not a big deal, now Miago represents Di Rong's tribe, and the Persian envoy is also watching from the sidelines. If she can't retreat, will she let them laugh at the fact that there is no one in the capital?
What's more, Dajing is in urgent need of recuperation in the past few years. It is not suitable to go to the north and south to hurt the muscles and bones. It is better to take this opportunity to shock the neighbors and avoid a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, before she opened her mouth, she heard Awan on the side saying helplessly: "What else can I do? Of course I accept the challenge. How can you sit still when you see our Lord Fang looking like this?"
Cao Hong touched the back of his head, "But boss, your body..."
"It doesn't matter." Fang Zilan interrupted him quietly, "Go and reply to the adult from the palace and tell him that I accepted Miagu's challenge. I will definitely attend the farewell banquet."
"Okay." Cao Hong responded, turned around and went out.
Awan looked at his retreating back and seemed a little worried, "Fang Zilan, you must win this battle. If you lose..."
"No." Fang Zilan said resolutely: "My title of No. 1 in the world is not for nothing."
"I heard that Mia Gu is very powerful." Awan said and shook his head, "But Di Rong people only have a lot of brute strength. As long as you don't confront him head-on, you will be fine."
Fang Zilan smiled, looked at A Wan and said to herself, "But after all, you are in front of the emperor. You can't use any tricks. You can only compete openly and honestly. You..."
"Then win in an honest way." Fang Zilan's smile grew brighter, "Don't worry, the person in the world who can beat me is not born yet."
