Today in Chang'an City must be extremely lively.
Because Fang Jie came back.
Fang Jie, who walked into Chang'an on foot, saw the scene of the people cheering, but his mind was surprisingly calm. He was even smiling to tell how many people were watching with cold eyes among so many smiling faces in the crowd. He wanted to know what kind of method his enemy wanted to kill him, and then take away the country he had worked so hard to conquer.
How many conspiracies and tricks are hidden behind the crowd
Fang Jie thought too much, so it's not like he didn't think that those people would try their best to assassinate him on the way home. But he knew it was impossible, because those people didn't want to see a Black Banner Army that was in chaos in advance. If Fang Jie died on the way, those people's next plan would not be easy to implement.
Fang Xie could guess that they would accumulate all their strength in Chang'an City, and at the most inadvertent moment, deal Fang Xie a fatal blow. Walking through the street, Fang Jie found that there were many people welcoming him back, but compared to the time when he returned to Chang'an City from Zhuque Mountain, there were still fewer people.
This is a bit weird.
What those people were worried about was that if the Black Banner Army broke up halfway, the conflict between the main generals in the Black Banner Army would break out early, and everyone wanted to fight for the position. In this case, their arrangement in Chang'an City lost most of its meaning. Because the person they selected was in Chang'an City.
This is a planned scene.
There is nothing worth describing.
Hundreds of civil and military officials greeted him thirty miles outside the city, and everyone seemed sincere when they saluted Fang Xie. Fang Jie also believes that most of them are sincere, because the insincere people only account for a very small part. Including Dugu Wenxiu and Cui Zhongzhen, everyone was very excited when facing Fang Jie.
Fang Jie smiled.
Greeted warmly to everyone.
Then he returned to Changchun Garden.
There are his women and children in Changchun Garden.
He was anxious to go back and hug his woman and his child.
Wu Yinyu looked a little plump, and Fang Jie's son was able to toddle under the protection of adults. Fang Xie hugged Ning'er who was somewhat unfamiliar to him with one hand, and Ping'er who was even more unfamiliar to him with the other. The child's world is very simple, and the siblings seem to have a little resistance to each other's interpretation. But strangely, the blood relationship made them accept Fang Jie very quickly.
"Are you ok?"
Fang Jie asked Sang Sasa and Wu Yinyu, and Wanyan Yunshu who was sitting on the side and was holding her legs crossed over Fang Jie.
"very good."
Sang Sasha nodded with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Fang Jie's face was full of guilt.
They just smiled and never blamed.
"You have to be careful."
Wu Yinyu squeezed her shoulders for Fang Xie: "Recently, the situation in Chang'an City seems to be a bit strange. Not long after you left, there have been people who want to spy on Changchun Garden from time to time. However, the defense in the garden is very strong. Those people have been at least Thirty attempts were made, and many people died every time. But Sasha said, they didn’t try their best, if they tried their best to take us hostage, the casualties would be even greater.”
Sang Sasha nodded: "Before you came back, they tested again. This time, there are real masters among the people who came, but they didn't know that the cook had returned. Although the cook can't fight, he just stood there Letting out one's own breath is enough to scare many people. There are also Mr. Luo, Dean Zhou, and several old Taoist priests who are of one mind. With this kind of strength... those people dare not expose their full strength in advance. "
"correct!"
Wu Yinyu suddenly remembered something: "Shortly after you left Chang'an City, a rumor began to spread in Chang'an City. Some people said that you were Luo Yao's illegitimate son... This kind of news always spreads very quickly."
Fang Xie knew about this.
It's nothing more than building momentum.
So Fang Jie also understood why the number of people who greeted him on the streets of Chang'an City would be less than last time when he came back this time. In many cases, those high-ranking figures will always ridicule that the people are very ignorant. In their view, a random lie can fool the people for a long time.
Obviously, this is not without reason.
This rumor probably means that Fang Jie is Luo Yao's illegitimate son, so after going to Yongzhou, he got a team from Luo Yao's army. Then Fang Xie planned to kill Luo Yao in order to seize power. Such a story of rebelling against the son and killing the father will always arouse the curiosity of many people.
Of course, what qualifications does an illegitimate son who killed his own father have to be emperor
"fine."
Fang Jie smiled and shook his head: "It's just some tricks that won't be put on the table... It's better if you are safe and sound. It's time to end this time when you come back, so you should try your best not to leave Chang'an during this period. Spring Garden. The arrangement in this garden is far more than what they have detected, and it is not just what you know. You are all people I am worried about, and I will not let you have any accidents."
"Relax."
Sang Sasha held Fang Jie's hand: "Don't worry about us, let go and fight those monsters who hide in the dark and dare not see people, and defeat them."
Her palm is so warm.
…
…
Tai Chi Hall
Dongnuang Court
Fang Jie spent half a day listening to Dugu Wenxiu and Cui Zhongzhen report everything about Chang'an City in the past year since he left. Cui Zhongzhen mainly talked about the suppression of bandits in Gyeonggi Province and the surrounding areas. At the beginning, Luo Yao was defeated first, and then Gao Kaitai was defeated. There were too many deserters in Gyeonggi Province. The deployment of troops to wipe out the rogue bandits has achieved remarkable results.
What Dugu Wenxiu reported was naturally the affairs of the imperial court, and most of them were matters of the people's government. I have to say that Dugu Wenxiu's memory is excellent, he can clearly explain all the numbers without bringing any notes and account books, and Fang Xie firmly believes that even if he compares the account books now, he can't find any mistakes.
These are two really capable people.
So Fang Jie felt a little pain in his heart.
In front of Fang Jie, Dugu Wenxiu and Cui Zhongzhen did not show the slightest sign of discord. This is obviously far from the rumors in the court. In fact, everyone knows that Dugu Wenxiu and Cui Zhongzhen are incompatible.
"Although the grain production in Gyeonggi-do has not yet recovered, there is no problem for the people to be self-sufficient."
Dugu Wenxiu's final problem is still in the governance of the people: "According to the lord's order, the minister ordered the court to exempt the Jiangbei provinces from paying taxes for two years. According to the current situation, when the summer grain is put into the warehouse next year, it will basically be able to Recovery. The people who fled to various places are also returning in large numbers, so the local officials are very busy, and every village and town has to re-register. I am thinking, should I allocate some military personnel to help?"
He looked at Fang Jie, waiting for an answer.
Before leaving, Fang Xie made it clear that the military and government should be separated. Although Dugu monopolizes power, he cannot mobilize the army.
"good."
Fang Jie nodded: "Do as you say."
Dugu bowed his head in response.
Cui Zhongzhen also clasped his fists and said, "I'll go back and make arrangements. I'll transfer people from the camp to assist the local government."
"No need."
Fang Jie suddenly shook his head again: "I will arrange other people to do this matter. There will be no major battles in the future. Some members of the Black Banner Army will be transferred to serve in local areas. The team will also be dismantled and distributed to various places. Garrison. The two of you are already familiar with government affairs, but most people are not familiar with government affairs. Especially the affairs of people's governance, those big bosses don't understand anything. Let them carry their swords on their horses, all of them are Brave man. Let them deal with the daily necessities, they will get bored and clueless."
"I'll ask San Jinhou to arrange this matter. I will transfer a middle- and lower-level officer from the army and send it to the local government."
Cui Zhongzhen's face obviously changed, but he quickly recovered: "I understand."
Fang Jie waved his hand: "There is nothing else, you all go back and rest first. I am also tired, and I will go back to see Ning'er and Ping'er in a while."
The two looked at each other, then saluted and left.
"Did you see anything?"
After Dugu Wenxiu and Cui Zhongzhen left, Fang Jie immediately asked. He was obviously the only one in the room, and he didn't know who he was asking. The person who answered him was actually in this room, but with Cui Zhongzhen's level of cultivation, he couldn't even notice it. As for Dugu Wenxiu, it was even more impossible to detect it.
Not one person came out, but two.
The two of them were in Dongnuan Pavilion before, behind the cabinet full of books.
Wu Yidao came out first, followed by Chen Xiaoru.
"It seems to be obvious."
Wu Yiyi looked outside, and saw Zhuo Buyi, who had changed into a bodyguard uniform, patrolling back and forth seemingly bored outside Dongnuange. Wu Yidao knew very well that although Zhuo Buyi's cultivation was not top-notch, Zhuo Buyi's natural ability was much stronger than before. As long as someone wants to spy on Dong Nuan Pavilion, Zhuo Buyi's spiritual power cannot be concealed.
"Dugu and Cui Zhongzhen seem to have come together."
Seeing Fang Jie, Wu Yidao pointed to the chair next to him, and then sat down. Mu San had put down the curtains before, and then stood in a respectful distance.
Wu Yidao continued: "This move is ruthless enough... Dugu started by talking about the lack of manpower in the local area, and then asked the military to send people to help. Then he can fully infiltrate people into the local area, and they are all people who seem to have very high positions. Low, but extremely important place. For example, if you want to control all the officials in a county government, you don’t need to bribe everyone, you just need to let the head catcher be yours. These small officials in the local area can often play a decisive role effect."
"They're waiting for me to come back."
Fang Jie smiled: "Whether it's the rumors before, or wanting to intervene in local affairs now, it's all laying the groundwork. I want to know where the hole they dug for me is."
Chen Xiaoru said: "My lord already knows that Lord Dugu and General Cui are walking together?"
"you know too?"
Fang Jie asked.
Chen Xiaoru replied: "I'm just guessing, because recently I sent a lot of eyeliner to these two people. That is to say, the two of them wanted to get rid of the monitoring of Xiaoqi School at the same time. This is not a coincidence, it must be deliberate After that. It’s just that they ignored it, so they shot at the same time, but they exposed their flaws.”
Fang Jie nodded: "They think I know very little, but... I know a lot about some things. And they may not all know about me."
