"What do you think of him?"
There is still some distance away, far away, Emperor Qing'an Xiao Che has already stopped, and he has not called anyone to publicize it, so the people in front do not know that he is here.
He only looked at Fang Shaoxing who was wearing a horizontal knife and immediately asked a question to the side with a smile.
Now in this palace, there are not many people who dare to stand beside the emperor.
It is the old lady and the old lady who always lag behind in a proper manner. Only Gu Juefei, who had been with him in his early years, could put aside the rules of the court and stand beside him.
As soon as the peace ceremony was over, Xiao Che summoned Gu Juefei.
When he was talking with the general's wife, Lu Jinxi, Gu Juefei was in the back of the hall and could hear everything clearly.
So at this moment, of course, we can walk out with Xiao Che.
His eyes also fell on the front side Shaoxing.
Listening to Xiao Che's calm voice without the slightest bit of anger, he also knew that this matter would not be too big today.
So he smiled and said: "It's not like a general who leads troops to fight, but it's like those gangsters in the market who don't care if their tempers come up. It's not very good, but in terms of ability, it may not be impossible for Xue Kuang to fight."
The first half was not very good, but the second half...
No matter how slow Xiao Che was, he could hear the appreciation in Gu Juefei's words.
He looked back at this boyhood friend who should have become his own arm early on, but was crushed on the head by his father, with a subtle voice in his voice.
"I thought you would find this person disgusting."
"Haha, short-handed, short-handed. To be honest with the emperor, Fang Shaoxing invited the minister to drink a small jar of good wine. Even if the minister was full of bad words, he had to hold back."
Gu Juefei said half-jokingly.
Xiao Che laughed when he heard it.
He asked himself that he knew Gu Juefei very well, and naturally knew that his words were just a joke.
But neither denied it, but really felt that Fang Shaoxing was good.
"Unfortunately, he appeared too late. In the current situation, there is no chance for him to make achievements. It's a pity..."
Halfway through the words, Xiao Che stopped naturally, but was silent.
How smart is Gu Juefei
Even if Xiao Che didn't say it, he could understand what he was thinking in his heart, not to mention that he had already said most of what he said.
Fang Shaoxing is really good.
Leading troops to fight, even if he is not as hot as Xue Kuang, and he has a frivolous and evil spirit that has not been cleaned up, it always gives people a feeling that he is not particularly reliable.
But he is sincere, straight, and doesn't go around with anyone.
Just like Fang Shaoxing’s provocative words—
If in the battle with Holden that year, he himself, not Xue Kuang, led the troops to fight, then perhaps there would be no such peace talks today.
Or maybe, even if there were, it wouldn't be Holden.
Because Holden couldn't escape from him.
He was young after all, and he came to Xue Kuang six or seven years ago to make his mark.
This timing, whether it is for Da Xia, or for Gu Juefei and Xiao Che, is a bit late.
As long as it can be so many years in the morning, what is Xue Kuang's prestige in the army
The protracted war with the Xiongnu will not be the same as it was six years ago.
Gu Juefei's eyes became a little distant.
He didn't take Xiao Che's words again, and just tried his best to pass through the crowd to see the old lady who had high hopes for him, but is now utterly disappointed in him.
At the edge of the crowd, he stood quietly, his body seemed to be trembling.
Just a little farther away.
Gu Juefei actually felt that the expression on his face was so blurry that he couldn't see clearly at all.
Or maybe, I don't want to see it clearly.
"Go and have a look."
Xiao Che didn't mind Gu Juefei's dazed neglect, just waved to the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch had served for many years, and suddenly understood.
With a flick of the whisk in his hand, he immediately raised his head, cleared his throat and sang: "The emperor is here—"
This time, the stalemate in front was suddenly broken.
Civil and military ministers bowed down one after another.
Only then did the Huns help Holden up, glaring at Fang Shaoxing, there was an urge to be played, and when he heard the Emperor Daxia coming over, it was not easy to get angry, so he could only saluted along with him.
Of all the people, Fang Shaoxing was the most calm.
Seeing the emperor coming, he lifted the flowing hem of the white robe, and his posture when he bowed and bowed looked unrestrained.
There was still a little smile in his voice: "Chen Fang Shaoxing, meet the emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Flat body."
Xiao Che glanced at him, and then took a close look at Holden, who was disgraced at the moment, and felt a burst of relief in his heart, even with the usual smile on his face.
"The peace ceremony has just ended, what are you making a fuss about?"
Holden was on fire.
But before he could speak, Fang Shaoxing had already bowed down and replied: "Returning to the emperor, the minister and the Huns General Holden had a close friendship on the battlefield in the past. Today's peace ceremony has been completed, and the minister wants to have a relationship with him. He learned from each other. He just didn't expect that General Holden would be merciful, and he didn't show his true skills, so he saved some face for the minister. But the minister's actions were not serious for a while, and he asked the emperor to forgive him."
Open your eyes and talk nonsense!
It's like turning black and white in front of everyone!
The civil and military ministers around who had witnessed the whole process of the incident, after hearing what he said, only felt a buzzing sound beside their ears, and they couldn't even find it.
Even Lu Jinxi, who was accustomed to disguise, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eyes at this moment, deeply amazed by Fang Shaoxing's high-sounding and audacity.
But no one dared to stand up and say anything.
Even Holden himself listened to Fang Shaoxing's extremely face-saving remarks, and was stunned for a long time, not knowing whether he should admit or deny.
Admit it, I can't swallow it in one breath;
Deny it, isn't that just saying that you can't beat Fang Shaoxing
And it's only now that we have made peace.
When Fang Shaoxing provoked him at the beginning, he said that this is a personal grudge and does not involve family affairs.
It was only after hearing this that he took up the fight. What he said in front of Emperor Daxia at this time was really not what a man did.
Holding his breath in his heart for a long time, Holden was speechless.
In my ears, Fang Shaoxing's cruel words echoed...
He couldn't help but think about a question: As a young general who has only been on the battlefield for less than two years and has a famous reputation, is Fang Shaoxing willing to fight, or to make peace
If you don't want it, you can't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Che also glanced at Fang Shaoxing, knowing that he was talking nonsense.
But the key at the moment is what the Xiongnu envoys said.
With a kind smile on his face, he looked back at Holden and asked, "General Holden, is that so?"
"Back to the words of the Great Xia Emperor, this is the case."
Holden gritted his teeth, but in the end he swallowed the breath abruptly.
"General Fang is too modest. Holden's skills are not as good as others, so there is nothing to say."
"Oh? It seems that others are making a fuss."
Xiao Che glanced at everyone in the field, as if he didn't know the origin of what happened, but after the conversation changed, it still fell back to Fang Shaoxing.
"Although it is a reminiscence between General Holden and Lord Fang, this is the gate of the palace, and all the adults have come from afar. They are the envoys of the Xiongnu to negotiate peace. It is a bit too much for Lord Fang to do this."
Fang Shaoxing's sharp eyebrows suddenly showed a bit of obvious unhappiness.
You can even see a sneer on his lips.
Xiao Che also saw it, but he didn't care, he just said with a smile: "The palace gate is noisy, although it has not caused a big mistake, but there is a national law, and the family has family rules. I think that Master Fang has contributed to the society and punished it a little. The great commandment—just three months of fines."
March
Everyone knows that Fang Shaoxing is just a Jin Wuwei now, and that little salary and salary is not enough for him to go out to drink two pots of wine.
Not to mention March, even a year of fines is not a big deal.
Xiao Che's so-called "small punishment and big commandment" is really "small" enough.
Everyone could hear the emperor's intention to take it lightly.
Fang Shaoxing is not stupid, but he is not very appreciative in his heart, and his answer is perfunctory.
"Okay, I thought something big happened."
Xiao Che looked at Fang Shaoxing twice, then he didn't care about him anymore, he just waved his hand casually.
"It's okay to go away."
"Chen wait to send the emperor to the emperor."
All the ministers saluted again, and sent away the emperor who came to him.
This also includes Gu Juefei.
When he bowed and saluted, Xiao Che knew that he didn't want to stay in the palace anymore, probably because he had something to do with himself.
Not a big deal either.
Regarding the follow-up to the peace talks with the Xiongnu, there is also the matter of the reform of the imperial examination system, which still needs to be discussed in the long run.
Therefore, he did not force Gu Juefei to stay, just as if he did not come with Gu Juefei when he came, he left very naturally.
Most people don't notice the anomaly.
But Lu Jinxi saw it clearly first, and now he also noticed this detail, and he thought deeply.
The Princess Yongning and Grand Master Gu Chengqian next to them were no exception.
It's just that they knew more about the relationship between the emperor and Gu Juefei, and their hearts were not just as simple as thinking.
It's more complicated.
But these undercurrents hidden deep under the water are invisible to others, or maybe they don't care if they notice it.
For example, Fang Shaoxing.
He may not have seen the intrigue in the courtroom, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
As soon as the emperor left, he didn't need anyone to remind him, let alone help him.
There are some aristocratic ladies far away who haven't had time to leave.
At this moment, when I only see his handsome posture, and this handsome and tough face, there is a kind of fascinated impulse, and even the scar at the corner of his eye looks good.
But Fang Shaoxing didn't look at them.
After they were almost gone, he paced to Lu Jinxi who had been watching him for a long time.
She didn't change her lust, but smiled: "Madam has looked at me for a long time."
There are many people here.
Lu Jinxi stood here and didn't leave, mainly because of Princess Yongning. After the emperor left, she didn't know what to think, walked over to Gu Chengqian and Wei Binggan, and went to the corner to talk.
After all, this aunt said that she was going to take her all the way back, but she was not ready to leave, so she watched Fang Shao go for a long time.
Now that someone said that in person, Lu Jinxi didn't see the slightest bit of shyness or embarrassment on her face.
She looked calmly, and her expression was calm at the moment.
When he said it, there was no more ambiguous meaning at all, and he only said: "I lost sight of the past, and today I really know Mr. Fang."
"Oh?"
Fang Shaoxing never concealed his interest in her. On the one hand, she looked better than any woman he had ever seen, and on the other hand, it was completely different from the general's wife in his first impression.
The most attractive thing in the world is a woman with a secret.
Lu Jinxi in front of him is in this column.
And he himself was just one of many captives attracted by this mystery.
This kind of cognition made Fang Shaoxing uncomfortable. But the more so, the more he wants to conquer this different woman.
although…
She is the widow of her former boss.
He took her words as a compliment, and there was a bit of a rebellious smile on his lips: "How does it compare to the general now?"
Why was he so obsessed with comparing with Xue Kuang
Lu Jinxi really didn't understand.
When he came to the palace banquet to enter the palace gate today, he stopped himself from entering, and asked a similar question. Unexpectedly, he asked when he left.
Lu Jinxi was a little curious: "If I don't answer, Mr. Fang won't let me go, right?"
"Not at all."
Fang Shaoxing laughed out loud, looking at him with a calm expression, but when his eyes fell on Lu Jinxi's face, he suddenly surfaced a little bit of wickedness, a little joking.
"Fang wants to kiss Fang Ze more than not letting his wife go."
"… "
This is very explicit and exaggerated.
Lu Jinxi didn't like people who were too straightforward, but Fang Shaoxing never concealed his interest in her from beginning to end.
If the original Lu Shi was here, he would have been so angry that he would have been so angry that he would be speechless.
But Lu Jinxi...
She curved her lips slightly, dazzled her eyes and smiled sarcastically: "I'll lend you two courage, can you give it a try?"
"… "
This time, it was Fang Shaoxing's turn to be speechless.
At the gate of the palace, in the audience, the eldest Princess Yongning, who hated him, has not gone far, not to mention that the two pillars of the civil servants are still there...
Seeing the slightly mocking and teasing attitude of the general's wife, Fang Shaoxing felt very uncomfortable.
He stood still, but his eyes fell on Lu Jinxi's lightly curved lips.
"If I really dare, what should Madam do?"
"But you dare not."
Lu Jinxi was too lazy to answer him, the thin Yuanshan eyebrows raised, and there was a bit of sharpness like ice and snow in the gentleness.
Very vague, but enough to subvert the original temperament of this face in an instant.
At this moment, she is not the Lu family, nor the general's wife, but Lu Jinxi.
Lu Jinxi showed a little bit of fangs.
Fang Shaoxing was stunned.
Lu Jinxi smiled, too lazy to dwell on it, turned around and left.
After all, it's not a place where no one is there, and it can be argued that it is because of the relationship between Xue Kuang in the past. But if it is too long, it will cause some unnecessary troubles.
She ignored Fang Shaoxing's expression.
Not far in front is the gorgeous car of Princess Yongning. If she wants to come to talk about things with the two elders now, she will not come over for a while, but it is always right for her to wait near the car.
So as soon as he turned around, Lu Jinxi walked over.
But she didn't expect to see Gu Juefei here.
In his hand, he was playing with a jade flute that he got from somewhere, and he was wearing a six-rank civil official uniform with a blue embroidered snow white egret on him, adding a three-point official air.
Although the rank is not high, it can give people a sense of authority and authority.
The eyebrows are trimmed and the eyes are narrow, and the long fingers are like bamboos, which does not damage the Qingjun romance.
The footsteps in the forward movement suddenly stopped.
Lu Jinxi was a little surprised.
However, Gu Juefei raised his eyes in a leisurely manner, and moved from the jade flute between his fingers to her body.
There is no flaw in the perfect face, and even the little smile on the corner of his mouth makes those who see it feel like a spring breeze.
Just speaking, it made her a little dizzy.
"Madam wants to lend me two guts and let me try it?"
