Chapter 302

Zhuo Buyi accompanied Fang Xie all the way back on foot. From time to time, city patrolling officers and soldiers armed to teeth can be met in the street. Although Prince Yi's case seems to be coming to an end, the atmosphere in Chang'an is still very tense. It can be seen from the number and number of officers and soldiers patrolling the city that the impact of this case is far from over.

"You are the luckiest young man I have ever seen."

While walking, Zhuo Buyi couldn't help but exclaim: "In less than two years, you have not graduated from the martial arts academy, but you have been awarded the rank of general of five grade Ranger. As a first-class countryman, you are the first one in the more than 100 years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. What's strange about me is that when I first saw you, I didn't think you were outstanding. You are worse than the people around you. How come you have made such great progress in more than a year ？”

Fang Xie said with a smile, "if I say it's luck myself, it's too shameless, so I firmly believe that I have enough strength to match what I get now. If you insist that I'm lucky, it means your Majesty's vision is not good."

"Bah"

Zhuo Buyi gave him a white look: "take your majesty down and press me?"

"When you just entered Chang'an City, I'm afraid no one would have thought that you could get up so quickly. In addition to your own efforts, you have caught up with a good time."

Fang Xie knew that Zhuo Buyi was right. He really caught up with a good time. First of all, huaiqiugong was too old. The imperial court needed him. His majesty needed a new man from a poor family to become a new model. Therefore, it didn't take much time for him to enter the emperor's sight from the beginning until the emperor decided to hold him up. Although there were some ups and downs, on the whole, it didn't Have an impact on the results.

The second is Prince Yi's rebellion case, which is not a good thing for the imperial court, the great Sui Dynasty and the emperor. But it is not a bad thing for Fang Xie. Because of this case, the emperor began to trust him more and more. Not only that, he also moved Wu Yidao because of this matter.

It is undeniable that if we put it in a period when no major events happen, Fang Xie can't climb to the current height so quickly even if he tries hard.

Before he was seventeen, he had been made a viscount.

It was almost impossible to happen without military merit, but he got it, and he got far more than that.

The most exciting thing is that the emperor deliberately let him into the East Palace, which is more envious than the reward given by the first-class village general Wupin.

"In fact, I always thought... After Hou Wenji defected, his Majesty would give you the love Yamen."

Fang Xie said seriously.

Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "Your Majesty has this meaning, but I will never step into officialdom. It's better to have no identity than to have identity, at least for me. For example, in a scene like today, you can see that I have echoed those people? My temperament is not suitable for collusion with others, and it's not suitable for me to appear in the public."

Fang Jie was puzzled and said, "but if you take over as the caretaker of Qingya Town, isn't it a good thing for the Imperial Guard?"

"Fang Xie... Sometimes your idea is really simple, like a child."

Zhuo Buyi sighed: "Your Majesty said that he wanted me to take over as the governor of the Qing yamen Town, but that was a decision he would never make. Commander Luo and Hou Wenji seemed to be close and apart. In fact, no one trusted anyone, but this was the reassuring situation your majesty liked. How could your majesty want the relationship between his ministers to be too close? I was too close to commander Luo. If I took over the Qing yamen Your majesty will not rest assured, governor. "

"Your Majesty raised it just to let me know that he has no doubt about me."

Fang Xie was stunned, rubbed his wrinkled eyebrows and said, "today I drink too much wine, and my brain is getting more and more stupid."

"Because there are too many people involved in Prince Yi's case. You can't imagine how many aristocratic families have acted for this matter. You don't know. Nine out of ten courtiers involved in this case are from famous families. Plotting against such a big case involves nine families!"

"Over the past month, more than 30000 heads have been cut off at the entrance of the vegetable market, but the scope is actually controlled very skillfully. Your majesty did not give in to those aristocratic families, and certainly did not hurt those aristocratic families. At this time, your majesty doesn't want to fall out with those people. Once the western expedition again, the imperial court can't live without the support of those aristocratic families."

"You may not believe it..."

Zhuo Buyi shook her head and said, "now there are people begging for mercy. I hope your majesty can keep Prince Yi alive."

"How is this possible?"

Fang Xie frowned and said, "if such serious crimes can be forgiven, the laws of the Sui Dynasty will simply become a trifle."

Chubby Road: "Do you think those beggars don't know it's impossible? The reason why they plead for Prince Yi is actually forcing your majesty to let go of some people involved in the case. Your majesty can't let Prince Yi go, but you can't get too stiff with so many aristocratic families, so you have to step back. Those aristocratic families support your majesty to execute Prince Yi, but your majesty will give them some Face. "

"Headache!"

Fang Xie rubbed his forehead: "there are so many people and so many things involved. I'm afraid your Majesty's head will hurt more."

"Your Majesty is not a coward."

Zhuo Buyi sighed and said, "unfortunately... This period is really not practical. The imperial court is going to make the second western expedition, and the Treasury may have enough money and food in a short time, but once the time has dragged on for a long time, we can only rely on the donations of those aristocratic families... Your majesty will never give gifts to the people as a last resort."

……

……

In fact, the secret prison in the bodyguard's office is divided into three layers. The first layer is in the outermost part. Although the prisoners are also serious criminals, it is not worth mentioning compared with the prisoners in the inner two layers. The prison of the Ministry of punishment is not tight enough, so many Jianghu guests who violate the law and have good accomplishments will be transferred to the internal guard.

Fang Xie was imprisoned in the secret prison, on the second floor.

After returning from mercury building, Luo Weiran habitually went to the third floor for inspection. Since two important people were locked in the third floor, he had to patrol here at least three times a day. From entering the second floor, the strength of the guard has obviously increased a lot.

A large number of flying fish robes stand straight on both sides of the secret road according to the handle of the horizontal knife. Even a mosquito can't escape from here. Moreover, a large number of mechanisms are installed in the secret passage. If someone breaks through the cage, they will be overturned by the mechanisms in the secret passage. There are three ten thousand jin gates in a row. After the heavy iron door is put down, the gods can't fly out.

Even so strict, Luo Weiran still can't rest assured. Because the people in the third floor are too important.

The special prison in the innermost part was closed to Xiao 19, the leader of the qingleshan Yiqi temple. This person's cultivation has exceeded the limitations of people's thinking, and the means used to trap this person have reached the extreme point. Not only did he seal 128 air holes with gold needles, but also the bones in his body were hooked with iron hooks on giant chains. As long as he exerted force, those iron hooks would cut off his bones.

Opposite Xiao 19's special prison is an equally strong stone chamber. However, at this time, the people imprisoned here were not sealed by various means like Xiao 19. There were no shackles on him except that the shackles on his ankles made his movement a little inconvenient.

The arrangement in this stone chamber is as simple as the one that trapped Fang Xie at the beginning. There is only a chair and a stone bed.

Luo Weiran went to Xiao 19's prison door and looked inside through the iron window. The shaggy Xiao 19 hung his head and was hung by an iron chain. He didn't know whether he was asleep or deep in thought. But since he was imprisoned a while ago, his spirit has become worse and worse. From time to time, I will go crazy and say some messy and irrelevant words.

After reading Xiao 19, Luo Weiran went to the prison door opposite.

Although the middle-aged man in the stone room was wearing prison clothes and shackles on his feet, he stood in the room and looked at the bare wall with his hands, but he still had a bit of a king's demeanor.

Prince Yi, Yang Yin.

Hearing the footsteps, Yang Yin looked back at the iron gate window. Seeing that it was Luo Weiran, he immediately nodded slightly. Luo Weiran also nodded and didn't speak.

"There's something I want to ask you."

Yang Yin was silent for a moment and asked, "how many people have died because of me?"

"Thirty one thousand six hundred and forty-six."

Luo Weiran replied.

Yang Yin's face changed slightly and shook her head slowly: "no one advised the emperor?"

Luo Weiran looked at him and still ignored him.

"My heart is too cruel. Although I knew from the beginning that fourth brother is the coldest of our brothers, I still didn't expect that he would kill so many people. Those are his people. Doesn't he feel bad?"

Luo Weiran couldn't help sighing: "why don't you blame yourself? But you're still blaming others?"

"Me?"

Yang Yin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with self mockery: "yes... If it weren't for me, so many people wouldn't die. In a word, no matter how cruel the fourth brother is, he wouldn't kill for no reason without me, would he?"

After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "can you let me see my fourth brother?"

Luo Wei Ran shook his head: "Your Majesty's will, you are not allowed to walk out of this prison before the case is closed."

"Help me!"

Yang Yin walked forward a few steps, and tieliao rubbed against the ground and made a loud noise: "you can't kill so many people. If you touch those aristocratic families, it's not a good thing for the big Sui! I have to see four... I have to see your majesty. Just kill me quickly and don't involve others!"

"Know today early..."

Luo Weiran sighed softly: "if you think about the great Sui Dynasty, you won't do anything against it."

"That's two different things!"

Yang yinang first said, "I became an emperor, naturally I still consider it for the great Sui Dynasty!"

"Are you still awake?"

Luo Weiran looked at Yang Yin and said word by word: "in fact, you have no chance of winning from beginning to end, and you know this. But you have paralyzed yourself, like drinking a special poison. You have cheated yourself for so many years, you shouldn't wake up?"

Yang Yin was stunned and her shoulder trembled obviously.

"I'll lose from the beginning?"

He murmured, then stepped back and sat soft on the chair: "yes... I always told myself that I would win. But in the deepest part of my heart, there was a voice shouting... You can't win!"

He raised his head and begged, "I want to see the Empress Dowager... I also want to say a few words to your majesty."

Luo Weiran still shook his head and then turned around: "you are too self-centered. Now you still have no consciousness. What can you do when you see your majesty?"
