When the emperor came out of the cishou palace, he took a deep breath after taking a look at the west sun in the sky. He stretched out his arms and stretched out his body. Su Buwei obviously felt that the emperor's pace had not been as heavy as before entering the cishou palace.
Perhaps the emperor finished all the words he wanted to say over the years, and he also had a bad breath in his heart for so many years. For the empress dowager, it is more painful to let her live than to let her die. The woman exhausted her mind and always wanted her son to be the emperor.
The emperor once did not understand, because no matter who inherited the throne, she was a real empress dowager, and there was no need to let her own son sit on it.
But now the emperor understood.
Because he has always ignored the feeling that blood is thicker than water between mother and son, which mother doesn't want her son to stand out? Even if she is the empress dowager, what sits on the throne is the son of the person she once competed with her and the son of another wife of the former Emperor. How can she be happy?
If it weren't for the many means behind the empress dowager, the emperor wouldn't even blame her.
But this woman has been possessed, like Prince Yi.
When he walked out of the palace, the emperor did not board the imperial chariot. He waved his hand and ordered the guard of honor to leave. He turned to Su Buwei and said, "I want to go. Just follow yourself."
Su Buwei bowed his head and told everyone not to follow.
"Kill all the people in the cishou palace, and don't interrogate them... You check the gate yourself and select a group of new people to fill in. You should know what kind of candidates you want."
The Emperor gave a faint command as he walked.
Su Buwei nodded and said, "I know... Later, I'll have the servants in the palace of mercy and longevity executed."
The emperor said: "There can't be any scandals in the cishou palace. All the criminals involved in the rebellion of Lao Liu must be severely interrogated, but those in the cishou palace don't need to be interrogated. Especially those palace maids close to the empress dowager, they should be executed immediately. Also, from now on, you should go to the Ministry of punishment to watch in person, and you should listen to all the trials of serious criminals. All cases must be filed in the palace."
"Here"
The emperor was silent for a moment and said: "Cishou palace can't be involved, nor can Taoism... Xiao 19 failed me, and he should die. Most of his four disciples and the second generation of disciples of qingleshan should die. If you can't stay, don't stay. But Taoism can't fall down. Later, you can pick some of your confidants and put them into the Qi view. Qingleshan must be controlled by me. Although Xiang qingniu's temperament won't leave Xiao The old road of 1919, but we can't be wary of it at all. "
"I give old seven face. After all, Xiang qingniu is his younger martial brother."
Su Buwei said, "if the loyal Prince is in Chang'an, he must feel his Majesty's kindness."
"If old seven is in Chang'an, Xiao nineteen doesn't have the courage to go against old six."
The emperor snorted: "they thought that my throne would be unstable without the help of Lao Qi. This is the most idiotic idea in the world. Lao Qi began to be restless after he left Chang'an city. At first, I just thought that he wanted to be a man like Lao Qi and become my right arm. Later, I gradually found that his heart was bigger."
After walking for a while, the emperor continued: "Let someone bring the sixth master in a moment. I have something to ask him. After Fang Xie came back from Qingfeng temple, he also asked him to come to the palace. After seeing them, I will personally go to the martial arts academy to meet the old Dean. If the sixth master hadn't plotted against them, how could anyone know that the old Dean was still alive. In those days, the great ancestor was able to calm the Central Plains, and the old Dean made great contributions. Later, he established the martial arts academy, which has always been the sea god of the Sui Dynasty Needle... Everyone in the world knows that Zhou banchuan is the president of the martial arts academy. Everyone knows that I respect him. Who knows that he is just a messenger between me and the old president. "
Su Buwei knew nothing about these things before today.
"Your Majesty... I have something... I want to ask, but I don't dare to ask."
Su Buwei hesitated and said.
"Who is the old Dean?"
The emperor stopped to look at him, then smiled and said, "I don't blame you for your curiosity, but all practitioners are afraid to be curious. I ask you... Who deserves to be the first in the Jianghu of the Central Plains for 200 years?"
Su Buwei's face suddenly changed when he heard this sentence: "hall leader of wanjian Hall... Wanxingchen!"
"Good"
The emperor laughed and strode out: "Who would have thought that Wan Xingchen was the first president of the martial arts academy. Who could have thought that he had lived so long. I know that he said the nine grades of martial arts in the world, but at that time he was so cunning that he only set the nine grades at the highest, so that the Jianghu has been in chaos for many years, and the gap between the nine grades overhaul walkers is too big... I thought that since the old president has been out of the world The world, then simply publicize it. Let everyone know that the great Sui Dynasty never lacks peerless experts. "
Su Buwei was stunned and said, "the maid suddenly had an idea."
"Say"
"In the name of the old president, did you launch a Wulin meeting to call on people in the Jianghu to serve the country? Outstanding people can get the old president's personal comments. The highest grade in the world should be changed long ago... People in the Jianghu don't want to be rich and noble, don't want rich clothes and food, but want a reputation. With the prestige of the old president, the whole Jianghu will be boiling. That's it Some reclusive overhaul walkers will also come here. People in the Jianghu will be ecstatic to get a comment from the old Dean. "
"Selecting people who can serve the country... Is also helpful to the war in Northwest China. When Mongolian Yuan people enter the pass, they must bring a large number of practitioners with the army. The Buddha has such appeal, and Mongolian Yuan practitioners dare not refuse it. But we don't have such a sect in the Sui Dynasty. Even if... Even if you order to recruit those who live in seclusion It's hard for Jianghu people to come out. In addition, after this incident, qingleshan's vitality was greatly damaged... "
Su Buwei said carefully, "but now that the old Dean has stood up, with his influence on the Jianghu, he can still help his majesty do a lot of things."
The emperor was silent for a while, and shook his head in embarrassment: "I just don't know if the old Dean would like to. He has lived in seclusion in the martial arts academy for so many years, but he doesn't want to be involved in Jianghu affairs. If it weren't for the old six's rebellion this time, he wouldn't stand up... It's difficult for him to enter the Jianghu again."
When he came to the gate of Taiji palace, the emperor pondered for a moment and said, "try it. I'll ask the old Dean myself. But the imperial court has to send a competent person to do it. It's not too late to think about things in Chang'an city."
Su Buwei wanted to take the job, but he didn't say it in the end. Because he knew that the emperor would never let him preside over it.
"Don't worry. It's not a short time to mobilize a large army to invade the northwest. The troops in the northwest are empty, and it can't be done in an instant if they are urgently transferred from all over the country. The northwest is now dominated by strict prevention. I'll discuss the matter of personal expedition after I have deployed the troops. I plan to send someone to see Luo Yao in the southwest in a few days..."
Speaking of military affairs, the emperor frowned again.
"I want to recruit people's courage, but it's not a good time... Once the recruitment of people's courage starts, people will guess whether the war in the northwest is tight. People's courage has never been used since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, and only the 16th guard army is used in foreign war. This precedent can't be set unless it's absolutely necessary."
Su Buwei sighed and said that he was too tired to be an emperor.
……
……
On the way back from Qingfeng temple, Shen qingfan asked Fang Xie where to go next and what he hadn't done. Fang Xie was silent for a moment and replied, "it's time to eat."
They were stunned, smiled and said, "then go to dinner."
"What would you like to eat?"
Asked Mu Xiaoyao.
Fang Xie thought carefully and filtered all the famous restaurants in Chang'an. Over the past year, he has also had a lot of entertainment. Basically, he has eaten in restaurants in the east of Chang'an city. Those delicacies came to his mind one by one, but he didn't find anything he wanted to eat.
"Hot noodle soup."
He smiled and found that when he was hungry, the big bowl of hot noodles was the most attractive.
"OK"
Mu Xiaoyao nodded: "I haven't eaten for a long time."
"When will Kirin come back?"
Fang Xie asked the big dog.
The big dog smiled and said, "he followed Chen Xiaoru to guard several noble houses in the imperial court. It's estimated that it's time to withdraw. Yan Kuang rarely met someone who can work hard with him and begged Kirin for a long time to follow."
"The students of the martial arts academy did not participate in this matter. Although they were transferred to the Tai Chi palace, they were not used at all..."
Fang Xie was silent for a while and shook his head. "I'm afraid not many students in this field can graduate smoothly."
They all know what Fang Xie means. After all, many of the students in this martial arts academy are the children of those officials involved in rebellion. The emperor transferred them to Taiji palace, nominally to help counter the rebellion, but in fact, it was not imprisonment. The courtiers who were very close to Prince Yi were afraid that their future would be ruined.
As they walked and talked, they walked into the East 23rd. When they were approaching the shop, they were suddenly stunned.
The hot noodle stall in front of the shop is gone.
Lao Wang and his wife, who sold hot noodles in soup, were standing at the door of the shop, as if they were deliberately waiting for them to be solved. Fang Xie and others dismounted. When they walked over, they found that the old couple were very different from before. Lao Wang, who always looks very honest, and his submissive and rustic wife, stand very straight today, and the temperament of a small family has disappeared.
"I've seen Mr. Fang"
Lao Wang and his wife held fists at the same time.
Fang Xie was stunned and suddenly understood.
He smiled: "unexpected, really unexpected."
Lao Wang smiled apologetically: "don't blame us, Mr. Fang. We naturally can't refuse the task arranged by the bodyguard office. Moreover, we didn't know your character before."
Fang Xie smiled and shook his head: "is this going?"
Lao Wang nodded: "it's time to go... It's a good thing for you, Mr. Fang."
Fang Xie understood what he meant. Since the people arranged by the Imperial Guard at the door of his shop were to be removed, it proved that the emperor really trusted him. In a sense, this is really a good thing.
But Fang Xie still shook his head: "it's not good... It's hard to eat your steamed dumplings with hot soup noodles."
"One last time?"
He asked tentatively.
Lao Wang hesitated for a moment. His wife stretched out her hand and pulled his sleeve: "yes, Mr. Fang wants to eat, so we'll make it again. But there are no stalls. I want to borrow your kitchen."
"I'll buy wine!"
The big dog smiled, turned and ran out.
They all laughed, especially comfortable.
"Xiao Fang, you will have a great future."
Lao Wang said sincerely.
……
……
In the shop
Fang Xie looked at the steaming food in front of him and the wine in the cup. Just about to say something, he suddenly saw a carriage stop at the door. The little eunuch Mu San came down from the carriage, walked into the door with a smile, bent over and saluted: "Your Majesty, your majesty is waiting for you to enter the palace. Can you go now?"
Fang Xie sighed, picked up a bowl of hot soup noodles and walked out: "let's go, eat on the way."
Mu San and he got into the car, put down the window curtain and said in a low voice, "I heard several adults mention it before I came. It seems that I intend to recommend you to the Northwest..."
Fang Xie was stunned and his heart suddenly tightened.
Mu San continued: "Your Majesty hasn't promised, but even General Xu Xiaogong said you can do it. It's estimated that your majesty may let you play in the martial arts academy in advance. You should be prepared. In addition... There's another thing that makes your majesty who was in a good mood angry."
"What's up?"
"I don't know exactly. I just heard your majesty mention Luo Yao, the general stationed in the southwest of the army. It seems that Luo Yao sent a department to Beijing for what to do. The maid doesn't know. Your majesty originally planned to send someone to the southwest to preach, but the candidate hasn't been determined yet. Luo Yao's people arrived first."
Fang Xie's face suddenly changed. His heart said that at this point, what chaos did Luo yaolai add?
