Chapter 283

Fang Xie and Zhuo Buyi took the drunken Chen hum and Chen ha back to the shop and settled down. They looked at each other and smiled. He went to the back yard and sat down. Fang Xie made a pot of tea and poured a cup for Zhuo Buyi.

"Congratulations. I'll have to call you sir."

Zhuo Buyi said with a smile.

Fang Xie glanced: "this is not a good thing... Your majesty asked me to go to Yongzhou in the southwest. Why am I always uneasy?"

"Luo Yao is not a tiger."

Zhuo Buyi said, "you're just acting according to orders. You're also an imperial envoy. You can bully everywhere, and the local officials have to follow you? If you want to take some bribes, you'll have to go back by boat. If you want to take some beauties, three wives and four concubines won't be a problem."

"You envy you to go."

Fang Xie said, "I always feel that Luo Yao sent someone here at this time. He has been deeply rooted in the southwest for so many years. He guards half of the southwest and is a first-class Duke. How can you look at me? You don't know. I still have a holiday with his son."

Zhuo Buyi said, "if Luo Yao doesn't have this capacity, how can he get this seat today."

"He is generous. Do you think his son is generous?"

"He dare not."

Zhuo Buyi smiled and shook his head: "sometimes you are smart and admirable. For example, the way to set up a bureau to catch all the followers of Prince Yi a few days ago is wonderful. Sometimes you are stupid and despised. You don't think about it. Why did Luo Yao suddenly send someone to invite his majesty to marry?"

"If I want to understand, I'll ask?"

"It's actually simple."

Zhuo Buyi took a sip of tea and said softly: "Did Hou Wenji have anything to do with Luo Wen because of you? That was probably the case when Hou Wenji saw Luo Wen in private in Kesheng Curie that day. I captured Luo Wen's men who assassinated you, but Hou Wenji didn't let anyone intervene during the trial. I knew there must be something in it. Later, Luo Wen's man died in prison without any explanation But I'm sure Hou Wenji and Luo Wenji must have reached some agreement at that time. "

After he said these words, Fang Xie's eyes lit up immediately: "With Luo Yao's status, there are naturally many ears and eyes. The northwest is almost the same from Chang'an and Yongzhou. We already know about the defeat in the northwest, and Luo Yao may also know that Hou Wenji has been reversed. If Luo Yaozhen's means are all over the world, he can't say he has got the news. It can be seen from his son killing in Beijing 20 years ago that Luo Yao is a person who cherishes his feathers very much..."

"Yes"

Zhuo Buyi smiled and said: "He was not sure whether his majesty knew that there was a secret between his son Rowan and Hou Wenji, so he sent someone to ask his majesty to marry him. If his majesty agreed, he would be relieved. A man has killed a son himself and is now old. It is not easy to have a son again. Even if it is easy, will Luo Yao still be as powerful as he is now in another 20 years Towering? So he sent someone this time just for his only son Luo Wen. "

"He will especially cherish his son and, of course, his future."

Fang Xie frowned and said, "but the Emperor didn't intend to betroth the long princess to Luo Wen. If Luo Yao knew..."

"No harm"

Zhuo Buyi said, "I just said that Luo Yao was just testing. In fact, he was not sure about the marriage. As long as you let Luo Yao believe, the emperor believe him, and it doesn't matter whether the marriage will succeed or not."

"I see."

Fang Xie patted his head and said, "the emperor not only asked me to delay some time, but also asked me to give Luo Yao a reassurance. Tell him that the emperor trusts him."

Zhuo Buyi nodded.

Fang Xie thought, "then I need to go into the palace and ask your majesty for a magic weapon."

"What magic weapon?"

Solution: "It can be seen from Luo Yao's apology for killing a son outside the palace that Luo Yao cares most about himself. It's not easy for such a selfish and suspicious person to make him believe what I said. After all, even if the Emperor gave me the identity of a first-class villager, Luo Yao may not pay attention to it. Therefore, if you want to reassure Luo Yao, you must at least give him enough sincerity to make him believe The sincerity of the people. "

"I'm going to ask for a favor for Rowan."

Fang Xie thought for a moment and said, "for example, seal a baron?"

Zhuo Buyi glanced: "another idiot. Luo Wen is Luo Yao's only son. Sooner or later, the identity of a first-class Duke will be his. If your majesty changes his title to another title, Luo Yao will be more careful."

"Yes..."

Fang Xie frowned: "what good can that do him?"

"Promotion"

Zhuo Buyi said faintly, "because of what happened in the capital, Luo Wen didn't directly fill a real shortage of more than five grades as the top three in the martial arts academy in the past. You can ask your majesty to grant Luo Wen a military post."

Fang Xie nodded, "I'll enter the palace in a minute."

"Your Majesty is not in the palace."

"Where is it?"

"Martial arts academy."

……

……

Martial Arts Academy

Library

The emperor personally brought a cup of tea to the sleepy old man sitting in the chair. He was respectful as if the students were serving tea for his husband. The old man, who seemed to be killed by years at any time, sat up straight and took the tea cup with both hands.

"Thank you"

The emperor smiled and said, "why should the old Dean be polite to me? I have visited you once since I became king. It has been more than ten years. I always want to listen to the teachings again. But I know that the old Dean doesn't want to be bothered, so I can't bear not to visit."

This old man is the old gatekeeper of the library who Fang Xie sends a packet of peanuts every day.

"Tea is good tea..."

The old man took a sip and grinned. When he smiled, he saw that there were few teeth in his mouth. I don't know how I can eat peanuts. At this time, on the table in front of him, there was the rest of his half bag. He pinched one and threw it into his mouth. He accurately knocked the peanut with a few teeth.

"Your Majesty's state affairs are busy, so you don't have to worry about me. People say that being old but not dead is a thief. I often think that if I'm a thief, what I steal may be time. Fortunately, it's not someone else's. I've lived for so many years, and few people die early because of me. I'm very good here alone. I drink tea and eat a few peanuts every day. I live a leisurely life ... some time ago, a silly little guy bought me a packet of peanuts every day, which saved me money to buy them in the canteen. Your majesty, you don't know that the things in the canteen of the martial arts academy are ridiculously expensive... "

utter words that do not hang together.

He is completely self-centered in his speech. There is no logic.

What has the final say to the little guy who buys peanuts for him is that the old man is in a good mood. "That's a small kid with a discerning eye. I know that this library is still my old man's home. I read every book in the house. His majesty knows that I have no other merit, that is, more time than others. So I want to see what books and ask me, always remember where they are."

The emperor smiled with him, but he was not interested in the little guy the old man said. The most important thing in the martial arts academy is young talents. It's not surprising to have this idea.

He looked around, smiled and asked, "I'd like to invite you to live in the palace. Is it feasible?"

The old man shook his head: "where did you get so many books in the palace? Where would anyone invite me to eat peanuts? Besides, the high wall hall in the palace is too solemn. I still like the colorful martial arts academy, where people come and go."

The emperor advised, "you can live in Changchun Garden, where the scenery is beautiful, the environment is good, and it's comfortable to live. I've ordered people to clean up a yard in Changchun Garden. If you like reading, I can let people send all the books stored in the palace. Besides, the cooks in the palace are better than those in the martial arts academy after all."

The old man shook his head: "changchunyuan is really good, but I still don't want to go."

"Why?"

Asked the emperor.

"Because there is no grounding, there are not many human fireworks."

The old man smiled and said, "when the emperor was in power, I went to Changchun Garden, pavilions and rockery gardens. The construction was as beautiful as fairyland, and the palace maids were also beautiful. Walking through Changchun Garden was like fairies flying around on clouds. But because of this, it seemed too isolated. The killing of Taiji palace and the fairyland of Changchun Garden were not suitable for me."

The emperor couldn't persuade again. He was silent for a while and said, "I have another thing to ask the old Dean for your help."

The old man said, "come on, Emperor Taizu and I are friends who forget their years. Since we promised to guard his descendants for him before he died, I can't ignore what happened to you Yang family after all."

"I want to hold a Wulin meeting to re evaluate the cultivation level of people in the Jianghu."

Hearing this, the old man frowned slightly: "it's too cumbersome and huge. I'm afraid I can't do it."

The emperor hurriedly said, "of course you don't need everyone to comment. Under the nine grades, I will naturally arrange others to comment. You want to comment on those above the nine grades."

"Above the nine grades?"

The old man was stunned, silent for a moment, and said in a disappointed tone: "I remember I had this idea more than 100 years ago. But later I thought, how many people will fight for the false name above the nine grades? The Jianghu is better to be calm and less disputes. The Jianghu is peaceful, and the Sui Dynasty is also peaceful."

"I'm going to drive to the northwest and need the help of people in the Jianghu. There are Buddhists in Mengyuan, and there are many great Buddhists in the Buddhists. Even if I make an order, people in the Jianghu in the Sui Dynasty may not listen. But if you, the old president, judge the strong ones above the nine grades at the Wulin conference and the imperial court gives them a reward, they may serve the country. If you don't break the Buddhists, you can't really defeat Mengyuan 。”

"Your Majesty... Sometimes being too ambitious may not be a good thing. Meng Yuan is powerful and has been established for thousands of years. There are millions of people with armor, and there are as many monks as cattle hair. Meng Yuan is not the eastern Chu, nor the southern Chen, nor the Southern Yan, nor the Shang state... Your Majesty's obsession is too deep, which may not be a good thing for the great Sui Dynasty."

"I have only one wish in my lifetime. The old president said I am paranoid, and I don't deny it."

The emperor took a few steps forward and whispered a few words in the old man's ear. The old man's face suddenly changed, raised his head, looked at the emperor carefully, and then sighed.

"Just..."

He shook his head slowly: "since I promised emperor Taizu that I could help you Yang family more while I was still active. But... I am also a Jianghu person. Although I have lived in seclusion for so many years and am not in the Jianghu, I still have the Jianghu in my heart. Please remember, don't be too much."

The emperor made a deep salute: "don't worry, old president. I know the weight. I know what you said just now. The Jianghu is peaceful, and the Sui Dynasty is also peaceful. So I understand that everything has a scale, and I won't break that scale."

"That's good"

The old man nodded: "who is your majesty going to do this?"

The emperor shook his head: "it's not urgent. It's not a matter for the imperial court to mobilize people for a while. Because of the matter of Lao Liu, the imperial court can't find a suitable candidate for the time being. It's reasonable that Luo Weiran is the most suitable, but he's afraid he'll be very busy in the next few days. Let's talk about it later. I'll see if I can choose a smart person to prepare and dispatch this matter."

The old man nodded: "I can help your majesty do this, but I also have something to ask your majesty."

The emperor hurriedly said, "you say."

The old man looked up at the emperor and said very seriously, "Prince Yi's rebellion has caused many disasters... They have committed their own sins. I shouldn't have talked more. But I still want to say to your majesty that if you can kill less... Kill less."

The emperor nodded after a moment of silence: "I try my best."

"Thank you, your majesty."

The old man stood up and saluted solemnly.
