Don't ask where people go

Chapter 19
Hearing this, Zhuge Yu looked at Li Shengxuan with a look of scrutiny.

Even if Li Shengxuan didn't explain the word "chess piece", Zhuge Yu could guess it.Appointing Fang Zilan is not as simple as appointing a capable woman.

The essential purpose is to use outsiders as an introduction to cause panic among insiders.

With Fang Zilan in command, the two great aristocratic families in the northern region will definitely not stand idly by, neither will they let it go in the open or in the dark.

A chess piece that is weak and easy to handle will not destroy the original pattern, but also attract the vigilance of other chess pieces. It is just right to break the balance in the game.But is the person behind it really Li Shengxuan?
"Your Majesty is the one who sticks to his son. I shouldn't have said too much. It's just that Fang Zilan is only a woman, and no matter how powerful she is, she can't be successful. Why should Your Majesty put one's safety on her?" Zhuge Yu refused to budge.

Li Shengxuan frowned slightly, and said without anger, "Are you doubting me?"

Zhuge Yu was silent for a moment. Before he entered the palace, he didn't understand why Li Shengxuan trusted Fang Zilan so much, and put the safety of the whole northern region and even Dajing on her.

Until now, he suddenly understood that the person trusted by the young Emperor Dajing was not Fang Zilan from the beginning to the end, but himself.

During Fang Zilan's trip, she had to keep her eyes on the two great families in the northern border, and if she made a mistake, she would die in the chaos.However, even if she is dead, a woman in command will make the hot-blooded men in the world unable to sit still.Li Qiyou, a prince of gold and jade, is like this, let alone other people?
In the battle of the northern border, Dajing will surely win.

This is Li Shengxuan's belief.It has nothing to do with who is in command, and it has nothing to do with the process of Pingbei. What matters is the result.

Zhuge Yu suddenly remembered what his grandfather said to Li Shengxuan when he was still King Xiang before returning to Beijing.

Among the Li family, King Xiang must be the master of the world.

He couldn't understand that there are many reckless men on the battlefield, and being able to fight well and governing the world are not the same thing.

King Xiang may have more than enough strategy in the battle, but once he wades into the unfathomable water in the capital, the countless ditches, ridges, twists and turns are enough to drown people to the bottom of the pool.

At that time, his grandfather asked him, "Ah Yu, do you know why the sea is so fickle, and under the turbulent waves, there are still people who are not afraid of their courage and ride the wind and waves on the sea?" Understood.

Ordinary people walk and watch, smart people plan ahead, but Li Shengxuan is able to see thousands of miles away and has everything under control.No matter how many variables there are, he is not afraid.

After all, those who have seen the sea will not be afraid of a pool of water.No matter how deep the pool is, it is nothing but a pothole compared to the sea.Just like the captain of the sea who lives with the sea, driving the waves and chasing the waves, he is indestructible.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Yu nodded and said: "Zhuge Yu dare not." He said so, but his face showed no sign of not being afraid.

Li Shengxuan's expression softened slightly, "Since you dare not, let's get punished."

"Zhuge Yu, the second son of the Zhuge family, I order you to be Fang Zilan's military adviser, and you will go out with the army soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhuge Yu could speak, Xia Houzhang stood up first, "Your Majesty, the second son of Zhuge is weak and sick, and I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it when he goes out with the army."

The corners of Li Shengxuan's lips curled slightly, "Looking at his appearance, he is considered weak and sick?"

Xia Houzhang was taken aback, speaking of the last time in Prince Xiang's mansion, Zhuge Yu would cough for a long time before he could say a word, but this time his breath was steady and he didn't cough once.

Xia Houzhang looked at Zhuge Yu steadfastly, only to see him smile slightly, "Thank you Your Majesty, Zhuge Yu has received the punishment."

Besides, Fang Zilan had just arrived at the camp in the suburbs of Beijing to order soldiers, and he took care of the two lieutenants who were not convinced and tried to attack her, and then saw the Yucheng King Li Qiyou and Zhuge Yu who came to the camp with the imperial decree to report, and couldn't help thinking Two big.

Even if Li Shengxuan didn't trust her anymore, he wouldn't have summoned these two great Buddhas, right?This small temple of hers cannot afford even one statue.

Just thinking about it, Fang Zilan greeted her with a smile, "Since it is His Majesty's will, I dare not disobey it. Please prepare early, and we will set off soon."

After she finished speaking, she motioned for the deputy general next to her to see off the guests, but unexpectedly, both of them stood there motionless, and Li Qiyou's face was even more ugly, "The army is about to leave soon, but Miss Fang, how are you, the deputy general?" thing?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the lieutenant with a bruised nose and swollen face.

Fang Zilan didn't take it seriously at all, "Vice General Li wanted to compete with me for a while, and that's it for now."

She was tactful, and she didn't say anything about the fact that Lieutenant General Li and another Vice General Cao attacked her just now.But Li Qiyou was clenching his teeth, "It's just a discussion, why should Miss Fang be so hard?"

"If I really play hard, I'm afraid that Lieutenant General Li is still recuperating in the tent at this moment. If the prince has nothing else to do, I won't send him off." She unceremoniously issued the order to expel the guests, and Li Qiyou's face became even more ugly. "Miss Fang is such a pretentious fox, I would like to ask for advice."

"Since the lord knows that I'm a fake tiger, please call me General Fang." Fang Zilan looked a little cold, "Or, the lord doesn't even want to give His Majesty face?"

"You are so brave!" Li Qiyou couldn't help but reprimanded each other, "It's just a woman, I don't know what method you used to get the emperor to appoint you as the commander-in-chief, but I want this king to admit that you are so bad Far."

"I am ordered by His Majesty, not by the lord, what does it matter if the lord admits it or not?" Fang Zilan said lightly, "The lord is just looking down on women, but how does the lord know that I look down on you?"

"What did you say?" Li Qiyou was in a hurry, but Fang Zilan just smiled, "The army will go out soon, and I still have things to do. If the prince is not convinced, you can ask me for advice after the chaos is over."

Li Qiyou wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhuge Yu, "General Fang is eloquent, and Zhuge Yu admires it. It's just that fighting with troops is not a quick way of talking. I hope General Fang will be fully prepared."

"What the military adviser said is that Fang Zilan has been taught." Fang Zilan cupped his fists and saluted, "Then I hope the military adviser will give you more advice in the future."

"General Fang is serious." Zhuge Yu also gave a salute, and then looked at Li Qiyou who was beside him, "My lord and I are going to make preparations, see you tomorrow morning." After he finished speaking, he pulled Li Qiyou who was beside him left.

"Why did Mr. Zhuge stop me just now?" Not far from the barracks, Li Qiyou asked with doubts in his heart.

Zhuge Yu just shook his head, "My lord is indeed young and energetic."

"What does Mr. Zhuge mean?" Li Qiyou raised his eyebrows in displeasure, and Zhuge Yu sighed softly, "No matter what, Fang Zilan is the commander-in-chief appointed by His Majesty to quell the chaos. If the people spread the rumors, it will become aimed at His Majesty. Everyone in the world knows that His Majesty and the prince had a dispute for the throne, if these rumors are spread, it will be harmful to the prince without any benefit."

"My king has always acted in an open and aboveboard manner, so why be afraid of what people say?" Li Qiyou said it with confidence, but he felt cold sweat running down his back, he knew that what Zhuge Yu said was the truth.

"Even if you are not afraid of people's words, the prince shouldn't make things difficult for Fang Zilan." How smart Zhuge Yu is, he has long seen that Li Qiyou is just a dead duck with a stubborn mouth.

He shook his head with a smile, but Li Qiyou still refused to admit it, "I didn't make things difficult for Fang Zilan."

"Just now, the lord has already seen what is going on with the deputy general next to Fang Zilan, but he still deliberately uses that deputy general to provoke troubles. Isn't it embarrassing?" Zhuge Yu pointed it out mercilessly.

Li Qiyou's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything, and couldn't argue at all.

"There are enough people who don't like women in command, Zhuge Yu doesn't want another prince. We all serve the court, so we shouldn't be a stumbling block to His Majesty." Zhuge Yu clasped his fists and bowed, "Just now If you offend me, I hope the prince will not blame you."

Li Qiyou couldn't help being stunned, Zhuge Yu's rhetoric was impeccable, and he didn't forget to plead guilty in the end, it was really unfathomable.But the question in his heart still needs someone to answer after all, "Master Zhuge really trusts Fang Zilan?"

"I don't trust Fang Zilan, but I trust Your Majesty." Zhuge Yu smiled slightly, "I know the prince thinks it's a joke for women to lead troops to fight, but since there was Xiahou Yunzhao before, why can't there be Fang Zilan later?"

"Xiahou Yunzhao is just a general, but the emperor's concubine was born in Xiahou's family, so she became a so-called famous general." A trace of disdain flashed in Li Qiyou's eyes.

Zhuge Yu suppressed his smile and looked a little serious, "If Xiahou Yunzhao doesn't surrender, I'm afraid we will have to suffer from the war for a few more years in Dajing. I know that the prince has always believed in the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, but There are some things that cannot be judged to be true or false based on one-sided words, the prince must not be careless."

The sharp look in Zhuge Yu's eyes inspired Li Qiyou, "Qiyou has been taught."

"My lord, you don't have to be so polite." Zhuge Yu returned to his usual gentle and harmless appearance, "The army will go out soon, and General Fang and I need your lord's help."

"Mr. Zhuge is serious." Li Qiyou stretched his brows, his doubts were cleared, since he was the supervisor of the army, he had to assume the responsibility of supervising the army. As for Fang Zilan's abilities, is he good enough to be the commander?This trip he will eventually see.

It's just because of Zhuge Yu's words that Li Qiyou has a bigger doubt in his heart waiting for him to solve. Regarding Xiahou's family and Li Shengxuan, whether what the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager said is true or not, this time he has to go personally verify.

After Li Qiyou left, Zhuge Yu still stood there motionless, "King Yucheng has left, can Miss Fang come out now?"

"When did Mr. Zhuge find me?" Fang Zilan walked out generously and stood in front of Zhuge Yu, but saw him shaking his head, "I couldn't discover Miss Fang's skill, I just guessed it by chance. .”

"Mr. Zhuge has no plans, so why don't you guess why I followed you?" Fang Zilan's mouth curled slightly, and Zhuge Yu also smiled lightly, "It's not because I want to hear what King Yucheng and I say about you behind your back. Bar?"
