After General Tiejia left, Dou Shuangfang knelt down with a plop and kowtowed a few times, his forehead was immediately torn, and the bluestone floor was stained with blood, although not much, but shocking.
"Slaves are punished with death!"
He kowtowed and cried, tears falling like rain.
The little emperor breathed a sigh of relief slowly, a little puzzled: "What capital crime do you have?"
"The master is humiliated, but the servant has nothing to do! The thief is rampant. The servant should die to repay the emperor's kindness, but the servant can't do anything. The servant is in pain."
"Get up."
The little emperor felt warm, leaned over and gave Dou Shuangfang a hand: "Could it be your fault? If Da Sui was still as powerful as before, the palace was still as expert as before, and the old dean was still there." ...Who dares to be presumptuous in this Taiji Palace? But now the old dean is gone, the Ouchi Guard Office is in name only, the Jinyi School in your hands is incomplete, and the professors in the Yanwu Academy have suffered heavy losses... There are not many people who can be used .”
"The state-owned tycoon should be killed!"
Dou Shuangfang wept and said: "After the servants go back, they will send someone to secretly contact the masters in the Jianghu."
"This matter...let it go for now."
The little emperor waved his hand weakly: "There are some things you don't know, and I can't tell you. This matter is so big that it concerns the survival of the Sui Dynasty. Just wait, and I will tell you what's going on when the time comes. I can't trust this person but I still have to use him, he has made unrivaled contributions to Da Sui, so I can't disrespect him, as long as his mind is clean, even if he is domineering, I will bear it."
"But the servant can't bear it... Seeing the master being humiliated, the servant's heart hurts like a knife. Such a person will be a disaster in the court after all."
"Don't say any more."
The little emperor didn't seem to want to get entangled in this matter, so he thought for a while and ordered: "Send someone to clean up, from now on I'm going to move to the Changchun garden dome, all court affairs are handled by the general. .I want to study in the Qionglu, organize the relics of the late emperor, and don't want to be disturbed."
Dou Shuangfang was shocked, I don't know why His Majesty would have such thoughts!
Is this already abandoned
How can you give up
Just as Dou Shuangfang opened his mouth to persuade, the little emperor waved his hands dejectedly: "Let's make arrangements, and besides... I will go to the Queen Mother in a while, and I will persuade the Queen Mother to go to the Changchun Garden with me. Also, there is no one left in the Changchun Garden." Forbidden army, don’t want any, you and Jinyi school guards are enough.”
"His Majesty!"
Dou Shuangfang opened his mouth, but was stopped by the little emperor's gaze: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me any more."
"Then... where is Fang Jie?"
Dou Shuangfang asked.
"Puhu has followed Hongxiu Zhao to the south, Fang Jie..."
The emperor smiled wryly: "Nine times out of ten, there will soon be no way to solve this person in this world."
Dou Shuangfang was stunned, her face constantly changing.
"I originally planned to give Fang Jie some benefits. Hong Xiu Zhao has a close relationship with him. I asked Tan Qingge to take Hong Xiu Zhao south to show kindness. Fang Xie will understand my thoughts when he sees his old friend come with him. The tiger went with him, and this kindness turned into a threat..."
Dou Shuangfang naturally understood that Puhu followed, and the red sleeve move became the card in Puhu's hand. Fang Jie seemed to be caught by something, and the good grace changed. Back then when Fang Xie was Luo Yao's left forward, Fang Xie still didn't give Luo Yao any face. Now, how could Fang Jie show weakness to a Pu Hu who was not familiar with him at all
I'm afraid that after Pu Hu brought his red sleeves to Yongzhou, the smell of gunpowder would immediately permeate.
"Jinyi School took over the Ouchi Guard Office... and there are still a few enshrined there."
Dou Shuangfang said something in a low voice.
The little emperor frowned slightly, but did not answer.
Dou Shuangfang saw that the emperor did not immediately deny his words, hesitated for a while and continued: "Your maidservant will be more careful, the general's cultivation level is against the sky, although this tiger's cultivation level is extremely high, but it is not enough for no one to resist." The enemy. When the team was about to reach Yongzhou, the servants ordered someone to kill him, and then put the blame on Fang Jie... "
The little emperor's eyes lit up.
Dou Shuangfang was the best at observing words and expressions, knowing that the little emperor had moved his heart: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servants will not do anything near the capital. When we get to the southwest, after doing this, no one would think that the servants sent someone there. General If you know it, you will probably think that Fang Jie did it. After all, Pu Hu has already offended Fang Jie with his red sleeve move. If Pu Hu dies, the general will be furious. When the time comes, the Iron Armored Army will go out, as long as they leave Chang'an The city, and then the gates of the city are closed, and it will be difficult to get in again."
"I didn't hear what you said."
The little emperor stood up and straightened his clothes: "I'm going to move to the Qionglu in Changchun Garden today to sort out the late emperor's relics, and don't ask about court affairs..."
Dou Shuangfang immediately understood the meaning of the emperor: "My servant understands that His Majesty doesn't know about this... Even if the general finds out in the future, this is my private opinion!"
"Um."
The little emperor nodded, glanced out of the window and muttered: "The general said something before he left... As an emperor, in order to maintain the throne, he can do anything right."
…
…
Xiang Qingniu squatted on the city wall of Yongzhou and looked outside, like a big fat bird. The city wall of Yongzhou is four feet high, and he is not afraid of falling while squatting on the walls. If it were an ordinary person, he would be too dizzy. However, looking at the outside of the city from this height and this angle is indeed somewhat novel.
"What good things do you think the emperor will reward you this time?"
He asked Fang Jie who was standing aside.
"have no idea."
"what do you want?"
Xiang Qingniu asked again.
"admit."
Fang Jie answered.
"admit?"
Xiang Qingniu thought for a while and nodded: "Yeah... the current position of the Black Banner Army is very embarrassing, so it needs to be admitted, and the imperial court admits it. They brought troops from Huangyang Road all the way to fight Nanyan, Heren, and Black Banner. The loss of the army is not small, and what is needed is a legitimate position. In fact, all places are no longer subject to the order of the court, but they still hold the official position of the Sui Dynasty, just because it benefits a lot. The Black Banner Army wants to gain a foothold in the southwest , what is most needed is an acknowledgment."
"Even if the Sui Dynasty was in chaos, having the imperial court's approval and not having it are two different things. The Black Banner Army was built by the late emperor in the northwest, but in order to protect myself, I lead troops around the northwest. It's okay to say that I'm a traitor. I can They are rebels, but my soldiers cannot be rebels."
Fang Jie said in a slow tone: "They have made contributions and shed blood for the Great Sui."
Xiang Qingniu was silent for a while: "But will Da Sui still persevere?"
"That is a future matter."
Fang Jiedao: "I need a legitimate identity now. No matter what happens in the future of the Sui Dynasty, I will stay in the southwest for a long time. During this time, I need a legitimate identity the most. As long as the imperial court gives it to me, I will be able to gain a firm foothold in the southwest." .Although this time I went south, I was jointly invited by the governors of the four southwest provinces, but there is no evidence for this kind of thing, and they are all reversed in one sentence. But if the imperial court has a decree, no matter what I do, I will be confident."
"what you up to?"
Xiang Qingniu continued to ask.
"Think about a lot."
Fang Jie pointed to the south of the city: "I killed hundreds of thousands of He people, and the He people hated me. If I want to gain a foothold in the southwest, I have to make the He people dare not even remember me. And I also promised Big Dog one thing." Things... If you promise, you will do it."
He looked back at the big dog standing in the distance: "Big dog, do you still remember what I camped on you?"
The big dog sitting on the city wall and biting a rabbit's leg was stunned for a moment, jumped down and walked and asked, "The general promised me a lot, such as taking me to eat meat and taking me to brothels, etc. There are too many to remember." Stay... I remember that none of them seemed to be implemented."
Fang Jie laughed: "This is the biggest thing, I promise you, I will definitely do it."
"which one?"
Big Dog asked.
"Be the emperor."
Fang Jie said indifferently: "That false emperor of Nanyan, Murong Shame, robbed you, and I will get it back for you sooner or later. Although Nanyan is not big, it is still a country after all... Logically, the four capitals in the southwest should be It’s right to give it back to you, but the conditions are not yet ripe, so let’s destroy the country of Yan first, have you decided to give yourself some domineering year name?”
"ah?!"
The big dog opened its mouth wide, and with a click, the rabbit leg in its hand fell to the ground.
"Still... let's forget it."
Big Dog was stunned for a while, then shook his head vigorously: "Do you think I am the material to be an emperor now?"
"yes."
Fang Jie patted the big dog on the shoulder, then put his arm around his shoulder and pointed out of the city, and said: "How can a person who has been a prince not have the ambition of an emperor? The mountains and rivers of thousands of miles north and south are still yours after all. When the opportunity comes later, I will return the four roads in the southwest to you, so that you can also have an explanation for your ancestors."
"I've already forgotten about this."
Big Dog replied in a dazed manner.
"You can forget, but I can't forget."
Fang Jie smiled brilliantly: "Whenever I am tired, I will run to Dali City, live in your palace, molesting your court ladies, fishing for goldfish in your imperial garden pond, these days are comfortable..."
Big Dog glanced at Fang Jie, his eyes flickering: "Let's forget it, life is pretty good now, and we are at ease."
"correct."
Fang Jie suddenly thought of something: "You still have a younger brother, don't you think about what kind of king you can give your younger brother... You are the prince of Shang."
The big dog's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't answer.
…
…
"You know how to use a sword?"
Puhu riding the old scalper seemed a little bored, he teased the old scalper while asking about Qingge. The latter was wiping the sword carefully with a clean white handkerchief.
"Yes? Or not?"
Tan Qingge was slightly taken aback.
"Am I asking you, or are you asking me?"
Puhu smiled.
"Then... probably not."
Tan Qingge replied: "Actually, I don't know if I can. Every time I go to the library to give peanuts to the old man, he always says I'm stupid, why don't I know how to use a sword. But he just threw me a sword. , I didn’t say anything, I had to go back and play by myself... So I don’t know if I will.”
"That's odd."
Puhu thought for a while: "Let me see if you stab the sword?"
Tan Qingge shook his head: "No... the cook said that the sword is a weapon of murder, so you can't use it casually."
"Then you still have a sword?"
"The sword was given by the old man, so you have to take it with you. The cook said, if you must wear a sword, you should wear the clothes of a scholar and hang the sword, so that others will not make things difficult for you. Because everyone knows that a scholar with a sword is just a Decoration, no one will think that your sword is a weapon. The cook said, in this way, others will not beat you, and you will not have to be beaten. I thought about it. This is a good way, so I picked up a student from the Yanwu Academy and threw it away. Clothes, washed and worn... like it's been a few years."
"ah?"
Pu Hu didn't expect such an answer, and shook his head: "It seems that you really don't know how to use a sword."
Tan Qingge hummed: "I really don't know how to use a sword."
