The Tai Chi palace looked no different from usual. When Fang Xie and Shen Qing fan bathed their small waist, they found that the guards on duty had not increased, and the number of flying fish robes patrolling back and forth was as usual. Fang Xie knows that this is only a superficial thing, but in fact, the inner and inner fingers may have been nervous.
Prince Yi wants to rebel, but if he doesn't rebel for a while, he has no direct evidence. Yang Yin is very cautious. At least it's hard to dig him out from the matter of goods going down. Even if the emperor doubts, it is not good to win a prince for no reason. Fang Xie also knew that the reason why the emperor was waiting for Prince Yi to take action might be to catch all the anti party. But he didn't know why the emperor was so sure. Prince Yi didn't show panic now. Obviously, he was confident. The confidence of the two brothers was the same.
The people of the Yang family seem to have this trait. Perhaps it is the temperament gradually formed in taking charge of the world for a hundred years.
Little eunuch Mu San led Fang Xie all the way in. When he came to a place where there was no one, he deliberately slowed down his pace and drew closer to Fang Xie.
"Something big happened in the northwest, and 700000 troops were destroyed... Your Majesty was angry. After hearing the urgent report at the border, his temples turned white and looked frightening."
He said in a low voice.
Fang Xie said, pretending nothing had happened, and continued to move forward: "I already know about the northwest. What I want to know now is... Has your majesty ordered anything about the troop dispatch ceremony tomorrow?"
Wood three courses: "I only heard a few words when I was going out. I didn't dare to stay long. Your majesty asked us waiters to go out when listening to the northwest emergency report. I deliberately delayed to listen to some. But what your majesty said later is unknown. However, your majesty urgently called Xu Xiaogong, the great general of right Yiwei, and Yang Shun, the great general of left Yiwei, to enter the palace. These two generals are also in Dongnuan Pavilion now Wait in the front court, not in the front court. "
Fang Xie turned around in his mind, but he didn't find any clue from these words.
"You say your majesty has white temples?"
"Yeah."
The little eunuch Mu San sighed in a low voice: "Lord Fang, you didn't watch it. The short video will be white. I was fine when I went out. When your majesty sent a message to us to serve, I saw it at a glance. At that time, my heart was sour. You can imagine how angry Your Majesty was."
Turning a hallway, in front of the East warm Pavilion, Mu San stopped talking. As soon as the four people arrived at the East warm Pavilion, Fang Xie entered the door and saw the two senior generals sitting in the outer room. He quickly stood up straight and met with military salute. When the two senior generals saw Fang Xie salute, they also stood up and returned with military salute.
"I've seen two generals!"
Xu Xiaogong was quite familiar with Fang Xie. After returning the salute, he smiled and said, "I was surprised when you came in to pay the military salute. I forgot that you also came from the military. You are very good, very good, and have not forgotten your origin."
It was the first time Fang Xie met with General Yang Shunhui of Zuo Yiwei. He was not familiar with this general who seemed to be only in his thirties. However, he had heard that Yang Shunhui was the youngest of the senior general of the 16th guard. If he didn't have royal blood, how could he be a military general at this age.
Yang Shunhui is medium-sized, not fat or thin, and his face is a little white, but not morbid. He doesn't need a white face. He doesn't have the momentum of a gentle general, but he is more like a teaching craftsman. Fang Xie knows that with the character of today's emperors, if Yang Shunhui really doesn't have the ability, even if he is of royal blood, he can never be promoted to the position of a senior general. Emperors always pay attention to ability With so many descendants of the Yang family, Yang Shun will be able to stand out. He must have his strengths.
"You are the famous solution?"
Yang Shunhui smiled and said, "I came into the palace with two beautiful women as beautiful as flowers. It's really extraordinary."
There was no irony in this remark. Fang Jie could tell that the general was just joking. Since he was still in the mood to joke with a person he didn't know, Fang Jie guessed that they should also be very sure about tomorrow. Or... They didn't know at all? And looking at their relaxed look, it was obvious that they didn't know about the northwest defeat. Your Majesty was still there Chao didn't come back, and no one mentioned it to them.
Not sure, Fang Xie smiled and said, "these two are also the ones your majesty called into the palace for questioning. How can you have the courage to bring your family into the palace."
"Family?"
Yang Shun will be stunned for a while and then laugh: "good luck."
This man doesn't have any airs, and he is a self familiar character. After all, according to his status, Fang Xie is thousands of miles away from him. Little eunuch Mu San brings tea, and Fang Xie sits down in the back position. Shen qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao look at each other, but stop behind Fang Xie. This move makes Xu Xiaogong and Yang Shunhui envy him. He We are all people with three wives and four concubines. Those jealous women are so obedient.
The three of them talked about some boring topics, and none of them mentioned tomorrow. Obviously, the two generals were on guard against Fang Xie.
While talking, the little eunuch outside shouted, "Your Majesty is coming!"
……
……
The emperor walked quickly into the Dongnuan Pavilion, took off the crown and handed it to Su Buwei behind him: "you two come in with me first, Fang Xie, wait outside, and I'll talk to you later."
Fang Xie quickly leaned over and said, "I will obey your orders."
When he got up, he looked and found that the emperor's temples were indeed white. And not that mottled white, white is very thorough. It seems that the emperor seems to be twenty years old at once. General Xu Xiaogong and Yang Shunhui followed the emperor into the inner room. Su Buwei nodded slightly before entering the door. Fang Xie could see from the eunuch's eyes that the man seemed to be close to himself.
His majesty warned him not to meddle in Wu Yidao's affairs. Fang Xie was still a little nervous before entering the palace, but now it seems that the emperor's mind is not on this at all.
He waited outside for a full hour, and it was completely dark outside. The maid of honor hung all over the corridor with lanterns. It was really a pleasant thing to see those graceful beauties running in line under the lamp. But Fang Xie, where do you still want to see beauty at this time? Your heart is full of tomorrow's things.
An hour later, the two generals came out of the inner room. The other side nodded and went straight away. Their faces had become particularly dignified. Su Buwei waved to the other party at the door and said come in. Fang Xie quickly got up.
Entering the Dongnuan Pavilion, Fang Xie found that the emperor did not sit on the earth Kang as usual, but stood with his hands down and looked at the huge map of the territory of the great Sui Dynasty on the wall. In the northwest corner of this map, an area outlined with a red pen is particularly eye-catching. But once the red was a festive color, because the Sui Dynasty had another two thousand miles of territory. But now, the red is as dazzling as blood, which makes people uncomfortable.
"Fang Xie, what you did today... You did recklessly!"
The emperor did not look back, but there seemed to be no blame in his tone.
Fang Xie bowed his head and said, "it's the minister who made his own decision. Please punish him."
The emperor's sight seemed to stay at the northwest corner of the map, and his voice was very calm: "I won't let you interfere in Wu Yidao's affairs, but you did it. Do you know what this is?"
The emperor slowly turned around, looked into Fang Xie's eyes and said, "it's not respect for the purpose."
Fang Xie didn't want to explain, but hung his head and said nothing. His attitude made the emperor's face stretch a little. The Emperor didn't sit back on the earth Kang, but rarely sat down on the wide chair.
"I don't like sitting in this chair. Do you know why?"
He asked.
Fang Xie was silent for a moment and replied, "I don't know."
The emperor said, "because this chair is too comfortable, you will be infatuated with it after sitting for a long time. It is very uncomfortable to sit on the earth Kang. You should change your posture from time to time, even if you sit against the wall. If you are uncomfortable, you will not sink because of comfort... But I have been sitting on the earth Kang for too long, so that people think I am stupid and don't know that the chair is more comfortable."
He didn't understand what he said.
"Am I really stupid?"
Fang Xie dared not answer this.
The Emperor didn't need him to answer: "I'm not stupid, but sometimes I don't think things comprehensively. Since I'm not stupid, I know what you do today is out of loyalty. If you violate my words because of loyalty and do something effective, I won't punish you. I'm conscientious and exhausted. I just don't want the evaluation of me in future history books to be confused."
"Now that you're involved in the matter of Wu Yi, I'll ask you... What do you think of Wu Yi and goods going down from heaven to earth?"
Fang Xie hesitated for a moment and replied, "I think... Wu Yidao is still loyal to his majesty, which can be seen from the matter of transporting troops to the northwest. As for the goods going down from heaven, it's really too big..."
"Idiot!"
The Emperor gave him a white look and said, "I thought you were much smarter than those courtiers, but now you don't seem to be smarter. I've never doubted that Wu Yidao was loyal. He helped you. You want to repay me... But you think you can make me change my mind with one word?"
"I dare not!"
The emperor said, "don't you dare? You seem to say you dare not do a lot of things. There are not many things you really dare not do."
Fang Xie hangs his head and still doesn't explain.
The Emperor didn't seem to resent his explanation. He was silent for a moment and said: "I call you an idiot because you are really an idiot. Those courtiers don't think about it, and you don't think about it. How could a business be as big as that without my permission? You all think I'm going to swallow the goods all over the world, right? Idiot! Idiot! The goods all over the world are mine! Do I want to rob my own things?"
This sentence surprised Fang Xie greatly: "ah?"
"Ah, what!"
The emperor said: "At the beginning of my accession to the throne, I wanted to attach importance to business. But you know, if I want to raise the status of businessmen, there will always be too many people against it, and I can't be tough. So I thought of a way. I can't come up openly, but I came secretly. I asked Wu to establish a business firm to do business with the people of Eastern Chu. I can do whatever I make money. It took less than ten years to buy goods The best business in the world is to go down all over the world! Because there are goods going down all over the world, the businessmen in the Sui Dynasty have also been driven up. Do you know how much tax the state has collected because of its prosperous business? "
"I want to set an example of honesty... But I'm an emperor. I can't really lack money. If I don't even have the money to reward the harem, isn't my emperor a failure? So the goods go down all over the world can also be regarded as something I do to subsidize my family. Wu is a wizard. I didn't expect him to make the business so big."
Fang Jiexin said that what you said earlier is high sounding, and what you said later is the truth.
"Now you see?"
Asked the emperor.
Fang Xie nodded: "I understand. No wonder Wu Yidao is so confident."
The emperor snorted: "I wanted to take this opportunity to force those courtiers to show their true shape. It's good for you to step in! But fortunately... You haven't broken my business. I knew that their purchase was going down all over the world. I didn't care because I knew that the courtiers also had difficulties. It's really difficult to maintain by salary... So I kept one eye open and one eye closed, Pretending not to see it. But what I didn't expect is... Huotong Tianxing raised them greedy. It's not terrible to be greedy for silver. What's terrible is that they have the idea of being greedy for our world with others! "
Fang Xie said, "I'm reckless."
The emperor said, "it's good for you to make such a fuss. You forced anyone who was just greedy for money and wanted to rebel. If not, I don't know how many villains followed behind Lao Qi!"
Fang Xie was silent. After a while, he couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty... Where did Wu go?"
The Emperor gave him a white look, and Fang Jieshan smiled: "I know, don't ask, don't ask."
