Don't ask where people go

Chapter 139
Zhuge Yu was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and said: "Since the founding of the country, Dajing has still set up the position of minister according to the system of the Great Chu of the previous dynasty. Those in power on one side are only under the control of the Son of Heaven."

Fang Zilan knew what he said, but she still quietly listened to him continue, "The Xiahou family, one of the nine great ministers, has a special status. Although they have power in their hands, they have never really used it. They are just to protect His Majesty today. .”

Zhuge Yu paused as he spoke, "But even if you don't exercise power in the court, the name Xiahou Yunzhao itself is a deterrent, enough to stand up to the nine princes and compete with the other eight. But since Xiahou Mingxun took over Xiahou Yunzhao, Xiahou's family His majesty’s deterrence is not so great. After His Majesty ascended the throne, Xiahou Mingxun once wrote a letter requesting that he be dismissed as a minister and return the military power of Dajing, but His Majesty has always rejected Xiahou’s family on the grounds that there is no suitable candidate to replace him.”

Fang Zilan listened carefully, but she didn't expect Zhuge Yu to stop talking suddenly. She raised her eyebrows after a moment of thought and asked, "Ah Yu, you just said that Xiahou's family will return the military power of Dajing, why did you increase the word "Beijing?"

A flash of approval flashed in Zhuge Yu's eyes, "Sister Lan is really careful. Xiahou's family controls not only the elite soldiers and generals in the east of the capital, but also the Xia family army who returned from Baiyue. These people will not really serve the capital. What they used, they only listened to Xiahou Yunzhao's orders, and now they are mercenaries. If Xiahou's family returns the military power, it will only return the part of the eastern border."

For a long time after he finished speaking, Fang Zilan didn't speak again.Just when he was about to say something again to break the silence, he suddenly heard her voice, "So Ayu, your guess is that His Majesty's conscience found that he wanted to change to another person? Or is it because all members of Xiahou's family came to Beijing this time?" , in order not to escort His Majesty any longer?"

Conscience found out?Zhuge Yu keenly grasped these four words, and thought it was a bit funny, but in fact it was nothing more than a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer.

"You can say that." Zhuge Yu nodded, and Fang Zilan's face showed an ambiguous smile, "The Empress Dowager will not sit idly by. If the target of public criticism is changed, her previous painstaking efforts will be in vain."

"If the person who is the target of public criticism is the Empress Dowager, she will not have any objections." Zhuge Yu's expression was very calm, showing no expression.

"Young Master Zhuge, I might be from the Empress Dowager?" Fang Zilan changed her name calmly, with a hint of guard in her expression.

Zhuge Yu said so much, it is impossible for her not to notice anything.From the day he received the imperial decree, what he said meant something, and what he just said was obvious. If Li Shengxuan really had this intention as he expected, then she would be one of the new candidates for public criticism.

"I know you're not." Zhuge Yu said firmly, his tone sank, "But it's not hard for me to see that you are not His Majesty's. Fang Zilan, who are you?"

"Who is it, is it really so important?" Fang Zilan still had a vague smile, and said casually: "Young Master Zhuge, in all fairness, have I done anything to endanger Dajing?"

"Fang Zilan, do you have to deceive yourself like this?" Zhuge Yu snorted coldly, "If you don't do it today, it doesn't mean you won't do it in the future. Once the people behind you stand on the opposite side of Dajing, can you let it go?"

As soon as his words fell, Fang Zilan only felt that something in her heart was shattered and scattered all over the ground.

Zhuge Yu was right, she was deceiving herself.

She always thought that she would be able to live in peace and stability if she could fight for her own place, but she knew very well in her heart that this was just an appearance.

Why did Ji Ningtian want her to be someone Li Shengxuan could rely on?It was for the day when she would turn her sword against each other and deal a fatal blow to Li Shengxuan.

The higher she climbed, the harder she would hurt Li Shengxuan and Dajing in the future.

However, if she gave up, she would be the one who died.If she wants to live, she can only selfishly foresee the result and climb up, unscrupulous, painful and sober.

"No matter what Mr. Zhuge thinks, Fang Zilan only wants to be innocent." Fang Zilan said every word seriously, but Zhuge Yu sneered, with a rare mocking look, "If you are stubborn, others can't say anything. It's just that you bully People can, but self-deception is fine. Ever since the incident of Shangguan Jing, you have no innocence at all, let alone a clear conscience?"

Every word in his words was heartbreaking, she remained silent and didn't speak, she just felt that whatever she said was like an excuse.

"Forget it, I'll let you do whatever you want." Zhuge Yu stood up with a cold expression, "I want to see what will happen to you Fang Zilan in the end."

"Anyway, if I fall into Mr. Zhuge's Linglong bureau, I won't complain at all." Fang Zilan stood up and looked him straight in the eyes, "But if it's the other way around, and Mr. Zhuge falls into my hands, I won't complain." Even if you die, you will keep Mr. Zhuge safe."

She left after she finished speaking, Zhuge Yu looked at her back with complex expressions, some were fiercely guarded, and some couldn't explain why she couldn't bear it, and he didn't know whether it was towards her or towards himself.

He couldn't help laughing at himself, they are all people who can't help themselves, who can be who's savior?

People who are opposites have only one ending.

She is always so duplicity and self-deception, how long can she be deceived?
On the other side, Fang Zilan walked down the stairs of the post house, feeling so preoccupied that she felt as if someone had stuffed a mouthful of cotton.

If Zhuge Yu's predictions were correct, Li Shengxuan really wanted her to take over the Xiahou family's position, Ji Ningtian would be very satisfied, but she couldn't be happy, Li Shengxuan didn't treat her very well, but it was not bad.

She knows how difficult it is for a woman to be in power in this era. Even a famous general like Xiahou Yunzhao cannot avoid gossip behind her back, let alone someone with an unknown background like her?

But Li Shengxuan just promoted her to a high position, whether it was a living target or a target of public criticism, in short, she stood on the top of the mountain and looked down on thousands of thousands.

She thought that the road ahead would be difficult and dangerous, but she never expected that she would walk in front of Li Shengxuan so steadily.

She knew Zhuge Yu's exhaustive strategy, and she didn't want to doubt it, let alone dare to doubt it.After entering Beijing, there may be a network of traps all over the world, or it may be impossible to guard against open guns and hidden arrows.

But for Li Shengxuan's little trust in her, Ji Ningtian held her gate of life, and even for herself, even if there was a dead end, she would make a breakthrough.

If you don't give it a try, who knows where the way out will be?
　Fang Zilan: It’s okay to deceive others, but it’s okay to deceive yourself.After all, even though I am a little black flower, I am not hypocritical to that extent.
