Chapter 162

Qiu Yu was stunned by Fang Xie's idiot, and then raised his hand to pat the chair. Fang Xie shook his head and said, "don't break it. It's a public thing. In case you add another blame to me because of your temporary anger, sir, who am I going to cry for?"

Qiu Yu stared at his outstretched hand and asked in silence, "do you just accept your life?"

Fang Xie lay down on the stone bed, looked at the roof and said in a flat tone, "maybe you don't know me. I've never been an appointed person... But what else can I do now? Crying, shouting, yelling, smashing?"

"Hehe"

Fang Xie smiled: "Sir, when I first woke up, I was really angry, the same as when I just figured out the reason for this on the half moon mountain. When I saw a guy in a flying fish robe sitting in front of me, my first reaction was to strangle him. But in a flash, I calmed down and gave up the idea of strangling him."

Qiu Yu asked, "because your heart is dead?"

Fang Xie shook his head: "because I'm sure I can't beat him. Although it's a one armed guy, I'm definitely not his opponent. I can't say I'll be strangled by him."

He took his eyes back from the roof, looked at Qiu Yu and said, "when I hid in a big tree on the half moon mountain and watched the young monk of the Buddha kill Liu Shuang, guess what I wanted to do most at that time?"

"It's escape."

Fang Xie didn't wait for Qiu Yu to answer: "At that time, in fact, I had guessed seven or eight points. I wanted to escape because I knew I couldn't resist. In the past, the enemies I faced were only those who didn't like me. They had a deep background, but I didn't pay attention to them. But this time, it was not a person standing in front of me, but the imperial court of the Sui Dynasty... What should I take to fight? What should I take ？”

"So I wanted to run away, but the idea came out and I got rid of it. Because I knew I couldn't run away... My friend was still in San Jin Hou house. It was at that moment that I understood why San Jin Hou Wu and Wu looked up at me and why he was so kind to let my friend live in San Jin Hou. It turned out that he knew that one day my friend would live in San Jin Hou In the mansion... That's a prison. "

"The most ridiculous thing is that I ran to beg him..."

Fang Xie smiled and said: "Now I know how naive I am. I always thought I was a smart man. Just as you have been saying, sir, lying on this cold stone bed, I thought for a long time and found that every day after I entered Chang'an City, every step of going out was to walk on the route set by others and live in the life arranged by others."

"It's silly - forced to think that everything is developing according to their own wishes and plans. In fact, it's like a string puppet. I move as much as others shake the line. I'm also proud of all kinds of wonderful actions and entertain myself."

Fang Xie has been very calm, which makes Qiu Yu feel more and more sad.

"Sir, just now you asked me if I have accepted my destiny... I thought about this question for the longest time, and then determined that I can't do anything except waiting for the coming fate like now. I don't have excellent cultivation and can't break the stone chamber. I won't be separated and can't save all my friends in Chang'an city. You know, there is a right one My very important woman is now working in the internal guard office. She is an internal organ exposed outside my body. She can be pierced anytime, anywhere. "

"I always thought that Mr. Zhuo was so eager to let sister Xiaoyao enter the bodyguard's office. He was really good for her and really took a fancy to her potential. It turned out that since then, the imperial court has been arranging how to control me. It's really difficult for them to work so many big people for such a trivial little person as me."

Fang Xie smiled: "Wait, there's meat for three meals a day here. If I want to drink, I'll talk to the guards outside and the wine brewed by Shenquan villa will be delivered soon. I tried. In the morning, I said I wanted to eat the hot soup noodles and small steamed buns at the door of my shop. They actually ran four blocks to buy them for me... It's a good day. Although it's simple and dark, but ... at least I don't have to worry about anything. I don't have to think about whether I will be poisoned when I eat. I don't have to worry about someone killing me secretly, because now, if they want to kill me, they will seriously inform me that you are dead. "

"Thank you"

Fang Xie said gently, "thank you for coming to see me. That's enough. Everything here is good, except that when I want to chat with those guards, they always look at me like idiots. Maybe they will scold me in their heart for being stupid - forced. When they are dying, they still want to talk to someone."

"But I really want to keep talking. Only when I keep talking can I feel very peaceful."

Fang Xie said, "I need peace now."

Qiu Yu's nose was sour. She turned and left without saying a word. Fang Xie watched her back disappear behind the iron gate, took back her sight and continued to look at the roof.

The roof was dark and there was no starlight or moonlight.

He didn't close his eyes and kept staring at the dark place. After staring for a long time, Fang Xie suddenly smiled. No one saw that his smile was different from the smile when he faced Qiu Yu. It was cold and even cruel.

Chang Chunyuan

Dome house

Mou Liangbi, the Minister of the Ministry of war, bowed down and put the battle plan formulated by the Ministry of war on the table in front of the emperor, then stepped back and bowed his head: "The documents sent by the Ministry of war to each road have been sent out. The time has been calculated according to the distance of the road. The person sent ensures that the time difference between the officials of each road receiving the documents will not exceed two days. The specified date is also calculated according to the distance, so the officials of each road have no time to do anything else except prepare immediately."

The Emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry to see the battle plan and nodded: "Once I announce this, the opposition in the imperial court will be as loud as the waves of the river. I haven't had time to deal with these people. Where's the time to reason with the local guys? They have written a memorial and sent it to Chang'an. I have to be patient to explain. Once it comes, the delay will be several months. I simply don't give them this time and let them alone They sent all their supplies and soldiers to the northwest on the specified date. If it's late, I'll beat them. "

He took a sip from his teacup, took the battle plan, looked it over and said, "this thing is just a plan, but where can any war be carried out according to the plan? Once the war starts, the war situation changes rapidly. If the court officials blindly point out according to the plan, it will be the big Sui Er Lang on the front line who will suffer in the end."

"I understand."

Mou Liangbi respectfully said: "once a war begins, the military headquarters will never tell what to do about the war ahead. The generals will fight as they should, and the ministers will not participate. Chang'an city is thousands of miles away from the northwest border. When the news arrives in Chang'an, it will be out of date. It must not be a good thing to command anything according to this news."

"You can understand, good."

The emperor said, "but I don't intend to let you idle in Chang'an city."

He glanced at Mou Liangbi and said: "Zong Lianghu keeps an eye on the affairs of the military headquarters. You will leave for Shandong Road in two days. Calculate the day, the people, horses and food and grass I arranged in advance have arrived in Shandong road. Although I have sent Yang Kai, king of Xujun, to take charge of the town, he is familiar with military affairs and is not good at logistics. Yang shanchen, governor of Shandong Road, is a cadre official, but he is a scholar and fights ... naturally, we can't expect the literati to do anything. Hexi Road next to Shandong road is an important rear area. Yuan Chongwu is arrogant. If there is no one with weight to reconcile, he and Yang shanchen may not be harmonious. "

The emperor laughed and said, "if Huai Qiugong hears what I said, I'm afraid he'll blow his beard and stare again."

Mou Liangbi said, "I will follow your orders and set out in two days."

"Well"

The emperor said in a voice, "yesterday... Pei Yan, the servant of the yellow gate, suggested that I enlist the compartment soldiers in the feudal areas of the royal residence. What do you think?"

"Ah?"

Mou Liangbi was stunned and his heart was shocked.

He has long heard that Pei Yan, the yellow gate waiter, is a sinister and deep-seated man. However, he has never worked with this man and does not understand Peiyan's actions. But he immediately got a general impression of Peiyan after hearing this suggestion. This man is still capable of being a yellow gate waiter. This proposal is a little too cruel.

The emperor wants to march to the West. It is a time of war, and the country will be more or less unstable. Now only those princes who are enfeoffed everywhere can threaten the imperial court. They have their own fiefdoms, and the people's taxes are handed over to them rather than the imperial court. They have their own army in their hands, although they are small in number, but well-equipped and well-trained. What if... What if the war is against the great Sui Dynasty Disadvantageous, the combination of these princes is a force that can not be underestimated.

At this time, Pei Yan, the servant of the yellow gate, proposed to let the private soldiers of the princes participate in the war in order to eliminate future troubles. Moreover, Mou Liangbi firmly believed that once the compartment soldiers went to the battlefield, they must be the first to die. In this way, the princes had no sole power in their hands.

"Lord Pei's suggestion is really a mature proposal for the country, but... I dare not agree."

"Tell me what you think."

Asked the emperor.

"I think that the war is coming. Your majesty wants stability, unity and stability. If you have not started the war, you should first recruit the royal family soldiers... In fact, you are undermining this stability. I dare to say a word that offends Tianwei... At this time, those your majesty believes should believe more. Those your majesty doesn't believe should also believe, even if... It's just appeasement."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing and said, "I have rejected Peiyan's proposal."

He looked up at Mou Liangbi and said seriously, "now I can trust you to grasp the war. You are older than Peiyan and know what to do when and what to do."

"Thank you for your trust!"

Mou Liangbi bowed down to salute deeply, but he couldn't help sighing. Fortunately... Fortunately, he didn't follow the emperor's words. The Supreme Master's mind is as deep as the sea.

Beside the lotus pond in Changchun Garden, the landlady in a blue floral cloth skirt was stunned at the blooming lotus flowers. After returning from Banyue mountain, she went to an inn to recuperate. She didn't intend to have any contact with anyone in the imperial court. It was a coincidence that she joined hands with Taoist Hezhen to deal with the old monk. She hated the bald monks in the northwest of the Sui Dynasty most. There was no good or evil reason, just because Hate for her, so hate.

But she also knew that since she entered Chang'an City, she couldn't hide.

So she was not surprised when the eunuch who sent the message found her and asked her to go to Changchun Garden to face the saint. There was no resistance, but came calmly.

Standing on her side, the little eunuch Mu San leaned forward slightly and looked very respectful to the village girl. But he didn't speak and didn't dare to disturb the beautiful and rustic woman's meditation. In fact, he didn't know that the woman didn't think about anything. She was just in a daze.

When Mu San saw Mou Liangbi, the Minister of the Ministry of war, coming out of the vault, he hurriedly said to the village girl, "you can go now. Your majesty is still waiting for you."

The proprietress gave a sound and turned to walk towards the dome house. Mu San led the way and said respectfully, "I heard you came from fan Gu?"

"Yes"

"Xiao Fang is also from fan Gu. He has a good relationship with slaves."

He said with a smile.

"Well"

The landlady looked at the little eunuch and said, "what do you want to say?"

"I heard... Lord Fang, I haven't been well lately..."

Mu San tried and pretended to be calm. But he had already played drums in his heart. He knew that Fang Xie had been in trouble and that he was likely never to turn over again. But he was unwilling, unwilling to let his first close foreign minister fall like this. So he's going to work hard. If he can provide help in the snow... When Xiaofang really gets rich in the future, he will follow Tengda. And if you really can't save him... Who knows what court event you will be involved in as a small person?
