Fang Jie didn't stay in the Tai Chi Hall for long, and he didn't say anything harsh, but after he left, all the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, as if a mountain was weighing on their hearts just now. These courtiers are all people who have been in ups and downs for many years, and they have never seen this kind of aura in a young man.
Many of them had served the God Bless Emperor Yang Yi. In their opinion, Yang Yi's imperial air was not heavy, he was a slightly feminine person, and he was quite mean in both his actions and his speech. But Yang Yi can indeed bring pressure to people. There seems to be something inherent in the Yang family in him.
When it came to the little emperor Yang Chengqian, he put no pressure on the courtiers at all. Although he is also from the Yang family, and although he has learned a lot from Yang Yi, he is still too young after all. In front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, he is like a young animal, trying to show off his power, but he still can't show his power. Surrounding him was a group of old foxes, who had already seen clearly that the cub's claws hadn't sharpened yet.
The courtiers were afraid of the armored general who came to power after that.
As for Fang Jie, the feeling he brought to them was far more than simple fear. Fang Jie is not restrained, some people may say that this is a sign of immaturity. But in fact, absolutely not. Fang Jie is not restrained because of his self-confidence. His temperament is very strange, perhaps it has a deep relationship with his origin.
Dugu Wenxiu and University scholar Niu Huilun took the lead in the next matter, and the courtiers naturally responded enthusiastically. The next step is nothing more than discussing which day is the auspicious day and how big the scale will be.
Fang Jie originally planned to live in the shop on Dongerershisantiao Street, but now that his status is different and he has no freedom, even if he wants to live back, it is difficult.
Now Fang Jie's residence is in Changchun Garden.
Standing by the lotus pond, Fang Jie looked at the faintly visible vault in the distance and was a little lost. In my memory, it seems that not long ago, I hid in the small vegetable garden outside the Qionglu, and secretly picked a few emerald green and sweet cucumbers to eat. At that time, he really never thought that one day he would become the owner of Changchun Garden.
But at this time, the small vegetable garden was deserted and overgrown with weeds, and the new servants were working in full swing. It would take at least half a month to completely clean the Changchun Garden. The dome looks so decadent, and the not-so-glamorous wooden house looks even more gloomy. However, what is surprising is that a new branch appeared on the roof and turned green.
He retracted his gaze and glanced at Wei Mu who was standing not far away.
"Are you conflicted?"
Fang asked.
"yes."
Wei Mu answered with his head down, maybe because he had been a servant for too long, Wei Mu seemed a little lacking in confidence in front of Fang Jie. Or maybe Fang Jie almost killed him on the top of Chang'an City, and he still has lingering fears. He didn't dare to look into Fang Xie's eyes, as if he was afraid of being swallowed by the terrible golden fire in the next second.
"It's not the first time I've seen such a contradiction like you."
Fang Jie sat down in the gazebo beside the lotus pond. Yang Yi, Emperor Tianyou of Sui Dynasty once had a conversation with him in this pavilion. Over the past few years, things have changed.
When he said this, Fang Jie couldn't help but think of pounce on the tiger. The "boy" who always felt that he was born too ugly and was unwilling to show his face in front of others.
Puhu walked out of the imperial mausoleum to show his true colors, perhaps because no one knew him for more than two hundred years, so no one pointed at him from behind and said, "Look, that is the emperor's own brother. It's so ugly.
Although the contradictions in Pu Hu's heart are different from Wei Mu's, they have many similarities. So Fang Jie can understand the pain in Wei Mu's heart... He lived much longer than normal people, but this long time is precisely because Wei Mu is not normal, so Wei Mu is contradictory. He still wanted to live on, but he didn't want to continue being a monster.
He doesn't need others to say that he is a monster, he has already admitted that he is a monster in his own heart. No matter who it is, there are some disgusting bugs in the body, even if it has been more than two hundred years, I am afraid that my heart will not calm down every time I think of it. This long life is because those bugs changed his body, and these bugs are not immortal, when the life of the bugs ends, he will die too.
Moreover, it will die miserably.
Sometimes the world is unfair, sometimes it is fair.
"Come talk to me after you have figured out what you want. Since I have promised you, you won't go back on it unless you do something that makes me go back on it."
"I want to be a normal person."
Wei Mu gritted his teeth and said.
"Have you decided?"
Fang asked.
Wei Mu nodded: "If I die immediately because I get rid of those bugs in my body, I admit it. If I don't die, then I can easily live a normal life for a few years. You may know what is in my heart. Suffering and contradictory, but you may not understand the pain of bugs in your body. Raising Gu with a physical body requires eating things that normal people would never eat, and doing things that normal people would never do. When eating these things and doing these things , not even a beast. I've had enough, really enough."
Fang Xie was silent for a while and then nodded: "If you think it over, I will help you get the worms out, and I will try my best to keep you alive, but I can't give you any guarantee."
"OK!"
Wei Mu nodded again: "There is one more request... If the bugs in my body are removed, I still want to lead the army. But I don't want to lead the Iron Armored Army anymore. Can you give me a team and let me go to the northwest and Mengyuan People really fight with swords and guns."
Fang Jie paused for a while this time and asked, "Why do you want to go to the northwest to fight the Mongolian people?"
Wei Mu raised his head and looked at Fang Jie: "When the Sui Dynasty was established more than two hundred years ago, the Emperor Taizu led us to fight against the Mongolian and Yuan Tartars in the northwest, and we won. Now the civil strife in the Central Plains has emptied the Mongolian Yuan. People are coming again, I heard that the Tartars have already hit the edge of Yishui in one breath... This is deceiving me that there is no one in the Central Plains, so I will go and win again."
…
…
imperial mausoleum
Fang Jie had been standing outside the imperial mausoleum for half an hour, just staring at the re-sealed stone gate in a daze. He has been here once, and he knows what kind of desolation it is inside the imperial mausoleum. The corpses of the great Sui emperors turned out to be food prepared by Yang Jian for himself.
Thinking of these, I am afraid that no one will be able to calm down. How big is the greed of the human heart? Yang Jian has built an empire, but he is still not satisfied. He wants to live forever, and wants to protect the empire he built with his own hands forever. For this wish, he didn't even care about family affection.
Eat your own flesh and blood, drink your own flesh and blood.
"Not going in?"
Xiang Qingniu asked.
Fang Jie shook his head: "Forget it, it's better not to bother him. Although you and I guess that Puhu may still be alive, since he chose to stay there forever, we'd better not bother him. If he lives , when he is lonely, maybe he will come out to find you and me to drink. If he dies, let him sleep there peacefully."
Xiang Qingniu nodded.
The two of them went to worship Mr. Wan before, but they only vaguely knew about a location, and there was not even a grave. Mr. Wan's body was dug up by Yang Jian and transported back to Chang'an City, and then Yang Jian whipped the corpse to vent his anger. The mutilated body was then discarded outside the city, and the bones have long since been found.
Xiang Qingniu had just cried, and his eyes were swollen. He is such a man of temperament, weeps when he is sad, and cheers when he is happy, without affectation or hypocrisy. Perhaps it was because of his temperament that he became enlightened.
"After returning to Chang'an City, I have a few things to do before I can leave again. If I want to make the Central Plains stable and the rivers and lakes return, the first thing is to reform. There is no rush for this matter, after all, there are too many things involved in this reform. People. I'm not afraid of them, but once they do something, they will inevitably involve a lot of people. I have to endure until the war between the Mongolian people and the foreigners is not resolved."
"The second thing is to rebuild the Chao Gang. There are University Scholars Niu Huilun, Marquis Sanjin and Dugu here. This matter is difficult if it is said to be difficult, but it is not difficult if it is not difficult. I have already told Chen Xiaoru to find any excuses. Those ulterior motives in the imperial court were dug out and eliminated one by one. Even if this is done, they must not feel that I am going to make a big move."
"The third thing is the Jianghu incident I just mentioned."
Fang Xie glanced at Xiang Qingniu: "In any case, Jianghu affairs are not trivial matters. There are many heroes in the reckless, and there are many knights inside and outside the sect. At the beginning, Emperor Tianyou of the Sui Dynasty wanted to hold a martial arts conference, so he chose some for himself. He is a capable man. At that time, he planned to entrust me with this matter, but it has never been able to be done. Now that the Central Plains is facing internal and external troubles, we need the assistance of Jianghu Zongmen and those hermits. Whether it is to resist the Mongols or foreigners, the army alone cannot .”
"Come and help me."
Fang explained.
"Short oil... Am I going to become the leader of the martial arts?"
Xiang Qingniu asked.
Fang Jie smiled: "If you want people in the Jianghu to return to their hearts, there must be a sect to stand up and take the lead. Your big brother Xiao Yijiu didn't make it back and he didn't know where he went. Maybe he was in the dark. Seeing that we don't need his help anymore, we went back to Qingle Mountain. Counting on him means that we can't count on it, and you are a Daoist, so naturally you come to make a fuss. Daozong is the respected status in the world. But Daoist is too loose, big and small The small sects and Taoist temples are actually irrelevant. They all claim to be disciples of the Dao sect, but there are good and bad... Before the martial arts conference, I plan to ask you to integrate the Dao sect first, and then hold a conference in the name of the Dao sect."
"Integration?"
Xiang Qingniu jumped back: "You don't want me to fight Zhang Yiyang, do you? If you don't kill that old Niubi, it is impossible for Daozong to be integrated."
"not necessarily."
Fang Jie smiled: "I have already sent someone to invite him. When the time comes, you two can discuss how to integrate Daozong. I also sent someone to Qingle Mountain. It would be best if your senior brother Xiao Yijiu is here. Please invite him." Come here together. If he's not here, ask Mr. Zhuo to come over."
Xiang Qingniu took a breath: "It's okay not to fight...how about we poison him to death?"
Fang Xie glanced at him, and Xiang Qingniu smiled: "To be honest, it's no easier to convince that old Niubi than to beat him."
"Integrating Taoism is the beginning."
Fang Jiedao: "After the Taoist sect is integrated, the rivers and lakes will be integrated. I still say that, a reckless swordsman who is not popular in the rivers and lakes may have more conscience than a general of the imperial court. Yang Shunhui will have two guards Now that he has become a slave of foreigners, Li Yuanshan did not hesitate to submit to the Mongolian and Yuan people in order to become the emperor... Just relying on our Black Banner Army is not enough, I need more people to help me win this battle."
"Then what?"
Xiang Qingniu asked: "What else?"
Fang Jie suddenly smiled: "Then I will find you a fat wife."
Xiang Qingniu spat: "Bah! You only want one fat wife...I want two!"
