The woman who really couldn't hold on to vomit out one mouthful ran out, and didn't even have time to turn her head and stare at Fang Xie. When she ran, she didn't bother to pretend to be a man, and the graceful figure of the little woman was fully revealed. Fang Jie looked at her back and smiled, "There are probably not many men whose knees bend inward when they run."
Hou Wenji sat down on the chair opposite him, looked at Fang Jie with great interest and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Fang Xie smiled and said, "Her father held me tightly in prison for no reason and disgusted me, so I can't disgust her girl?"
"how do you know?"
Hou Wenji asked.
Fang Jiedao: "Isn't it hard to guess the identity of the girl disguised as a man who can make the Governor of Qingya Township follow respectfully behind her? The adult princes are all ordered to leave Beijing to their fiefs, so she only It could be someone from the palace. The scope is so small, so you can figure it out if you think about it."
Hou Wenji nodded and said, "You guessed right, but you don't need to offend someone who might save you."
"Yeah?"
Fang Jie shook his head and said, "I really can't think of why she wanted to save me."
"What if?"
Hou Wenji said.
"It's nothing in case."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Your Majesty is not a person who is easily influenced by others to make his own decisions. Perhaps in order to give some face to the important officials of the court, His Majesty will show his respect in trivial matters. But in major matters, His Majesty will not make decisions because of anyone. In the eyes of the father, no matter how old the child is, the child is still a child, and the father will always feel that any of the daughter's opinions are immature."
"Your words are disrespectful to His Majesty."
Hou Wen said very seriously.
Fang Jie curled his lips and said: "If I really disrespected His Majesty, I would have stood at the door and scolded my mother. Do you think it is comfortable to live in this shabby place? If you were a bloody person who was wronged and imprisoned here without getting ahead Today, I think he would rather anger His Majesty and be dragged out and have his head chopped off, than live in this dark and cold prison with aggrieved feelings."
Hou Wenji said: "Fortunately, you are not a bloody person."
Fang Jie was dumbfounded.
Hou Wenji smiled: "Although you and I have met very few times, your understanding of me is as shallow as the waves above the surface of the water. But I can tell you seriously, how much I know you If you know it, you will be shocked."
Fang Jie opened his mouth and made a swallowing motion.
Hou Wen looked at him suspiciously, Fang Jie smiled and said, "I'm surprised."
"you are boring."
Hou Wenji said helplessly.
Fang Jie spread his hands: "Whoever is locked in such a place, even when the time is chaotic, will feel very bored. If there is an ant nest in this room, I have even counted how many ants come out to find food It's clear. If it were you, I think you would be more boring than me."
Hou Wenji shook his head: "I will never be locked up here, this is the biggest difference between you and me."
"Then you are not as good as me."
Fang Jie said seriously: "You at least lack one kind of life experience than me."
"You don't seem to worry about your own life or death at all?"
Hou Wenji asked.
Fang Jie said: "Why don't you worry? Since you said you know me, then you must know how greedy I am and fear death. You can take my current behavior as a posturing, or you can understand it as hypocrisy Pride and self-respect."
"You are greedy for life, but not necessarily afraid of death."
Hou Wenji looked into Fang Jie's eyes and said.
Fang Jie was startled, and after a while couldn't help but sighed: "Now I begin to believe that you really understand me a little bit, even the people around me may not be able to say this sentence. So... I have to say You scare me a little."
Hou Wenji said proudly slightly: "You should know my status, which determines that I must be the kind of person who makes others feel scared. If I fail to do it, it can only be said that I have failed. This There are really many people in the world who can be scared by me, and there is only one person who can scare me."
"Your words are disrespectful to His Majesty."
Fang Jie said with a smile.
"Why?"
Fang Jie looked into Hou Wenji's eyes and said seriously: "You said that you can scare many people in this world, but there is only one person who can scare you, and that must be Your Majesty, right?"
"right."
"That's disrespect."
"Where is the disrespect?"
"You said His Majesty is a human being."
Fang Jie said: "In my opinion, Your Majesty is not a human being."
As soon as these words came out, Hou Wenji's face suddenly became gloomy and cold. For a moment, Fang Jie could even feel the killing intent overflowing uncontrollably in Hou Wenji's eyes. Fang Jie didn't doubt at all, the next second Hou Wenji's hand would grab his own neck, lift his body high and smash him down. As a high-ranking and powerful person, once Hou Wenji's anger is released, it is enough to scare many people.
Just when he was on the verge of breaking out, Fang Jie continued in a very serious manner: "Your Majesty is God in my eyes. My respect for Your Majesty is just like the respect for the gods, even more than the respect for the gods. The gods can change One person, one thing, but I'm sure, if His Majesty is willing...he can change the world."
Hou Wenji was startled, and then he said angrily, "Is this interesting?"
Fang Jie smiled smugly: "Of course it's interesting... You locked me here, which made me very unhappy, so I have to make you unhappy, even for a while."
"Before you were disgusting to Her Majesty, because you said that you were wronged, so you felt disgusted. You made me unhappy because I made you unhappy. Such a childish behavior that must be repaid but childish, do you think Does it serve any purpose? Other than putting you at a greater disadvantage."
"Of course there are."
Fang Jie lay down on the stone bed, looked at the roof and said: "In such a boring day, I have to find something to enjoy myself. Find a little pleasure in the unhappiness. Although the pleasure is a bit hypocritical, it is still fun. If I must die Undoubtedly... what else do I need to worry about?"
…
…
Hou Wenji was silent for a while, watching Fang Jie lying on the stone bed without saying a word. He suddenly remembered that this young man who is currently locked in the highest-level prison in the Ouchi Guards Department is only sixteen years old according to the official file. He used to disgust Her Highness the Princess, and then made himself unhappy... Is it just the true temperament of a teenager
Did I and many others never regard Fang Jie as a boy from the beginning to the end
Is the expression on the boy's face angry? Still planning something? As the governor of Qingya, he is used to thinking deeply about everyone and everything. Today, however, he suddenly felt emotional, did he think too highly of Fang Jie, so much so that he even regarded him as an opponent for a while.
"Don't worry, His Majesty is just a little suspicious."
Hou Wenji said.
After saying this sentence, he regretted it a little. Because of his previous thinking, his heart was a little relaxed. This sentence was not what he should have said.
But he soon regretted throwing it away, because he felt that if he said it directly, he might be able to understand Fang Jie more clearly and see how he reacted. So he decided to simply give the young man some hope and say more. But Hou Wenji didn't see anything right away, because Fang Jie didn't seem to react at all when he heard his words, his eyes were still looking at the roof, motionless.
"Isn't this good news?"
Hou Wenji asked.
"no."
Fang Jie answered.
"Why not?"
"Perhaps you think I should be happy or at ease? But I really don't think this is something to be happy or at ease. You said that your majesty is just suspicious... But, Mr. Peacekeeper, don't you think that this world is the scariest thing in the world?" And the saddest thing is to make His Majesty doubt in his heart? When there is doubt in his heart, there will be follow-up things, and often these things are not things that make people happy and at ease."
Fang Jie turned his head, looked at Hou Wenji and said, "Your Majesty suspects a person, does this person still have a chance to stand up?"
Hou Wenji was silent.
Then he confirmed his earliest judgment, that Fang Jie was indeed just a boy, and this boy still had the innocence and ignorance of his age, but he was far smarter than his peers, although in Hou Wenji's opinion this Smart is a little superficial.
"Can you tell me what you regret the most?"
Hou Wenji asked.
Fang Jie was silent for a long time, then shook his head slightly and said, "Maybe because I am a person who can think about most things, so there are really not many things that I can regret. It’s rare to have such emotions. Regret this kind of thing, can it be used for other purposes besides torturing yourself? I’m already in a situation where many people want to torture me, why should I torture myself?”
"This is hypocritical and false."
Hou Wenji sighed.
"As I said, I also have self-esteem, even if it is a hypocritical self-esteem."
Fang Jie said solemnly: "I am in this dark place, and I have a lot of time to think about what happened in the past. I can think about many things that I did wrong, but I can't regret these things. The summary is... I I desperately want to climb to a high place, I want to experience the feeling of a high place. I want to break free from the shackles of my original destiny and become a master like Li Xiao, the great general during the reign of Emperor Taizong. But I underestimated climbing The danger on the way, I overestimated my ability. I have no regrets... I am too stupid and naive."
Hou Wenji shook his head: "Actually, you should understand that the reason why His Majesty has not made a decision until now is because His Majesty is still not sure... The students in the Martial Arts Academy are now told that you are retreating in the back mountain, so they are still not sure. I'm envious of your fate. Your Majesty's attitude is to investigate carefully, and Dean Zhou's attitude is not to be easily characterized... In fact, you can understand that this in itself is to give you a clean slate."
Fang Jie turned over and sat up, his face changed slightly.
"real?"
"I don't like to lie to people casually."
Hou Wen said very seriously: "When I lie to people, I must be rewarded. A lie without reward is as shameful as wasting food."
He stood up, and even reached out and patted Fang Jie's shoulder: "Living here for a while may not be a good thing for you. If... I mean if. You are really innocent, and you will finally get out of this place." Be a prison. Then when you encounter such doubts in the future, those who doubt you will definitely remember that you have been wronged before... Isn't this a good thing?"
Fang Jie was silent for a while and said, "I'm really not in the mood to say thank you."
Hou Wenji laughed loudly, turned and walked out: "But I can tell you very seriously that you just offended someone who must never be offended. It is true that you said that His Majesty will not easily change his judgment because of other people's opinions. But he is also a father... When his most precious daughter is bullied, what do you think this father will do?"
Fang Jie smiled wryly, "Impulse is the devil."
Hou Wenji smiled happily, and strode out of the prison.
After his figure disappeared for a long time, Fang Xie seemed to break free from the shock and uneasiness. He lay down slowly, with his back to the iron gate. So naturally no one will see, where is the uneasiness and shock on his face? It's so peaceful, so peaceful that it's incomprehensible.
Lying on the bed, Fang Xie carefully recalled the previous conversation, as well as his own reaction and the emotions shown on his face. He felt that his performance was not bad, and he should not have revealed any flaws. Chatting with someone like Hou Wenji is by no means an easy task. Fang Jie has been waiting for such a dialogue, and also waiting for such an opportunity. Fortunately, God seemed to be really kind to him, and even sent a foolish Highness Princess.
He could imagine that Her Royal Highness the Princess would definitely report herself to His Majesty the Emperor after returning to the palace. This is exactly what he wanted, so he didn't have the slightest worry or fear. If the emperor knew that he disgusted the princess, would he be angry
No!
Because this is the humble and naive unwillingness and resistance of a young man who is sad and angry, who would be unwilling and angry? Naturally, he was a wronged person... Fang Jie was using the princess to express his position to the emperor that he was wronged. It is obviously an idiotic thing to provoke a princess with childish and boring words, but her majesty may not be angry instead. The means of idiots can sometimes have very good results.
Then there was the conversation with Hou Wenji, which was much more difficult than stimulating that silly princess. More superb acting skills are needed to conceal one's true inner thoughts.
Fang Jie allowed himself to show two diametrically opposed personalities, rebellious and naive as a teenager should be, and wisdom and thinking beyond his peers. Only in this way can Hou Wenji feel that he is a difficult but manageable person. He reminded Hou Wenji that in the final analysis he was still a young man, not a man with a deep city... It is not easy to deceive someone like Hou Wenji.
At the very least, you must be a good actor first.
Fang Jie thought about it for a long time, and after making sure that he had no loopholes before, he felt more at ease.
Life is a big drama, it depends on who can act and who can act better. Everyone is acting, and everyone is watching other people acting.
