Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 488 Where is King Qin's Old Department Now?

Linzi, Qingzhou.

After Fang Xuanling was rescued by a mysterious person, she went back to her hometown.In the past few years, he has lived the life of a small rich landlord.

At the beginning, he was worried that he would be implicated by the court because of King Qin's defeat, but this kind of thing didn't happen.

Later, when he heard that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were punished for their rebellion, and that King Qin's defeat was due to broad daylight, he felt very comforted.

Now, apart from reminiscing about the years when he worked with the King of Qin, all he had left was to study at home honestly.

He no longer considered official career or anything.

"My lord, someone is looking for you outside."

The eldest son, Fang Yi, trotted over to report.

"Who is it?" Fang Xuanling looked away from the book.

"He said his surname is Xue, and his name is Xue Deyin."

Ok?
Fang Xuanling narrowed his eyes slightly, Xue Deyin, isn't this person the former aide of King Qi.

inside the room.

Xue Deyin was invited in by the housekeeper of the Fangfu, and after a while, Fang Xuanling also walked in.

"King Qi rebelled, Mr. Xue was not exiled, it's not easy." Fang Xuanling said directly.

Xue Deyin chuckled, and said, "Thanks to my elder brother's love, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pardoned my capital crime."

"Xue Shou?" Fang Xuanling snorted.

After the two of them sat down on their knees, Fang Xuanling asked: "I have never had any contact with you, and I don't know why you came here today?"

"Brother Fang is so ruthless, I was saved by someone." Xue Deyin said with emotion.

"What, it's you!" Fang Xuanling's eyes widened.

Xue Deyin nodded and sighed: "When I retreated in the past, I did not follow the order of King Qi to murder Brother Fang."

"why?"

Xue Deyin smiled wryly, "There's no reason, it's just to save myself a way out."

"You were King Qi's man at that time."

"Because of this, I know King Qi better than others. At the same time, I also know that King Qi can't accomplish anything."

Fang Xuanling was silent for a while, he really didn't know what to say to Xue Deyin.The king of Qi killed the king of Qin, he should have spoken harshly to Xue Deyin and ridiculed him to the fullest.But now, he knew that Xue Deyin had saved him back then, so it was difficult for him to say those words.

Xue Deyin narrated: "At that time, the King of Qi and Liu Wenjing had already conspired with the Turks. How could I, as an aide, change King Qi's mind? I am just a mayfly, so how can I shake a big tree?"

With that said, Xue Deyin shook his head.

Fang Xuanling pursed her lips and said, "However, if you had sent me a letter in advance, maybe things wouldn't have turned out as they did in the end."

"It's too late." Xue Deyin said: "When I knew the plan, King Qin had already led his army to chase after Yunzhong. Even if I revealed the news to you, King Qi would just kill one more person."

The two were silent for a moment.

Fang Xuanling asked: "Then why are you here?"

"To tell you the truth, I was ordered by my brother to invite Fang brother to the court."

"Xue Shou asked you to come?"

"Yes." Xue Deyin said without blushing or panting.In fact, it was not Xue Shou, but Prince Li Zhiyun who asked him to come.

Fang Xuanling thought: "Let me be loyal to the new prince of Chang'an?"

"Brother Fang is not willing?"

Fang Xuanling did not answer him.

In fact, he has no liking or dislike for the new prince Li Zhiyun.

"Let me think about it."

"It's okay, I've already settled down in Linzi, Brother Fang can tell me your decision anytime."

After Xue Deyin left, Fang Xuanling pondered for a whole day but couldn't make a decision.

That night, Fang Xuanling and his wife Lu Shi slept on the couch and chatted about this matter.

Lu Shi said: "No matter what decision you make, I will follow you. When the news of Bingzhou came back, I gritted my teeth and endured it. Now there is nothing I can't bear."

Fang Xuanling said: "Actually, Xue Shou let me enter the imperial court, probably after the approval of the new crown prince. You don't have to worry about going to Chang'an for your life."

"Then why do you hesitate?"

"You don't know, this new prince is not simple." Fang Xuanling said: "Without showing off the mountains and not revealing the water, but in the end he was officially registered as the prince by the sage, and the government and the people surrendered. This is not something that mediocrity can do. .”

"You suspect that the prince secretly

Fang Xuanling interrupted: "Don't talk about things without evidence. Besides, if you lose, you lose. It's useless to talk about those things."

"Then what are you thinking now?" Lu Shi asked.

Fang Xuanling said: "My heart is in a mess, I don't know whether I should agree or not."

Lu Shi said: "Okay, I understand, you think about it slowly, don't worry."

"Ah."

North Sea.

The snowflakes melted and the ground froze.

A disheveled man, dressed in sheep's fur, was driving a herd of cattle.He let the animals out for food and entered the makeshift tent by himself.

There was another man inside, equally unkempt and wearing sheepskin leather.

"Is there any wine left?"

"Take it, save some drinks, we are running out of food. I asked, and there will be two months before someone will come to collect the animals."

Sitting down, Changsun Wuji took a sip of wine to drive away the cold.

"Damn it, when will this day be a head?" Changsun Wuji wanted to cry but had no tears.

Yu Zhining lit the firewood and sighed, "The heaven and the earth should not match the prison, so what's the use of talking about it."

"Hey, Erlang is dead. I think Li Jiancheng should be enthroned by now. I don't know how Chang'an is doing now." Changsun Wuji said dejectedly.

Yu Zhining was silent, and after a while he said: "Don't think about those things, our top priority is to survive. As for whether we can return to Chang'an in the future, it depends on God's will."

"Hey, even if we can go back, can Li Jiancheng let us go?" Changsun Wuji looked resentful.

Erlang died, and he also suffered enough in the ice and snow.

No matter what he said, he couldn't surrender to Li Jiancheng.

Yu Zhining threw away the firewood and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"I'll go out to watch the animals, and wait for Brother Li and the others to come back."

Watching Yu Zhining leave, Changsun Wuji took another sip of wine.

"Damn!"

In mid-February of the eighth year of Wude, Chief Xue Yantuo Yinan accepted the canonization of the Tang Dynasty as Zhenzhu Vija Khan.

In the same year, Yinan sent a mission to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

The result of this is the confrontation between the two powers of the grassland forces.A new round of battle for the overlord of the prairie was staged again, and for a while, the prairie was in turmoil.

The current situation of Jieli and Yinan is not very good, and neither of them is sure that they can take down each other, so they can only focus on confrontation, supplemented by harassment and attack.

Therefore, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty ushered in a period of relaxation, and the number of Turkic people going south decreased significantly.And this is what Datang needs, the time to recuperate.

In March, Xue Yantuo's envoy entered Chang'an, and Li Zhiyun received the news.

At this time, Li Zhiyun was regretting that Fang Xuanling had no progress.He hoped to subdue Fang Xuanling. Needless to say, he knew everything about his reputation in history.It would be Li Zhiyun's loss to let such a talent out.

It's a pity that now he can't directly invite Fang Xuanling in person.

"The envoys of Xue Yantuo are temporarily placed in the guest house of Honglu Temple. I will meet them in person in a few days."

"I obey." The officials of Honglu Temple obeyed the order and left.

Yi Nan accepts the canonization of Datang, which means that there is no possibility of reconciliation between him and Jieli.The Turks have always been ruthless and hated the betrayers.

However, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, Xue Yantuo is now a good friend of Datang.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun couldn't help laughing.
