Don't ask where people go

Chapter 452
"In that case, I will pave the way for Mo Han and protect him well." Li Shengxuan spoke solemnly, but Fang Zilan was taken aback, "Your Majesty..."

"Mo Han is right. The law is the foundation of a country. If it is not guaranteed, people's livelihood will be a castle in the air." Li Shengxuan said in a deep voice, "He must be a pillar of the capital if he can say such a thing. Can you keep him safe?"

Fang Zilan cupped her hands and saluted, "On behalf of Mo Han, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Although she said so, she still did not relax in her heart. Only by doing her own things to protect Mo Han can she feel at ease.

"I will take a good look at this document." Li Shengxuan put away the document properly, and then changed his voice as if remembering something, "By the way, the queen told me last night that Ouyang Zirou had successfully improved the crossbow. After verification, it can be mass-produced and used after confirming that it is correct.”

Fang Zilan was a little puzzled, not knowing why Li Shengxuan suddenly brought this up, so she heard him explain: "Ouyang Zirou doesn't have the right to submit a letter, so she was going to ask you to help hand over the paperwork, but something happened at the palace banquet yesterday, and she Seeing that you are absent-minded and don't want to cause trouble, I asked the queen to bring me a message."

"So it was my omission." Fang Zilan said apologetically, "I promised Zirou to help before, but I never thought..."

She didn't continue, Li Shengxuan waved his hand and said: "It's not a big deal, you don't need to be here if you want to help Ouyang Zirou."

"Your Majesty means..." Fang Zilan's expression became serious, and Li Shengxuan said: "You are not joking, Ouyang Zirou succeeds in improving the bow and crossbow, and he will take over the Arsenal. The imperial decree will be issued in a few days, and the court will oppose it." There will be no fewer people. It is the best time for you to help her."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best." Fang Zilan's eyes were filled with a look of certainty, "Zi Rou deserves it."

"Not only that." Li Shengxuan said slowly: "Zhuge Yu's bureaucratic reform needs a woman like Ouyang Zirou."

"Your Majesty wants to allow women to be officials?" Fang Zilan lowered her voice, Li Shengxuan nodded and said, "That's right, since it's a reform of the bureaucracy, it must be reformed thoroughly. Why not?"

"It's not impossible." Fang Zilan took a deep breath, "I just dare to ask Your Majesty, is Master Zhuge really wanting to win a place for the girl, or is he using the name to distract the family's hostility towards the poor family?"

Li Shengxuan stared fixedly at the person in front of him, sighing secretly in his heart for her sensitivity, but also felt unspeakably sad for her trying to judge people's hearts with the greatest malice.

He asked word by word, almost questioning: "No matter what Zhuge Yu's purpose is, opening up women to serve as officials in the court has opened up a way for women in the world, isn't it good?"

"Good, not good." Fang Zilan met his gaze without backing down, "Someone once told me that under the circumstances that the system is not perfect and there are no guarantees, changing the situation rashly will only lead to chaos."

"Fang Zilan, you are also a woman." Li Shengxuan frowned slightly, "I thought you would not object."

"If there is no worry about this move, I will not object." Fang Zilan's face was solemn, and he argued hard, "Zi Rou is a daughter of a family, full of talents, and it is difficult to enter the court and become an official, let alone other women in the world? It is a good thing to be an official, but how to ensure that they are as stable as men, and will not be criticized and killed by others, has Master Zhuge considered it?"

Li Shengxuan was silent, and Fang Zilan continued, "If you haven't thought about it, then you just want to lure the newcomer into the game and disrupt the original situation. But if you can't check and balance, it's meaningless to attract the newcomer."

When she talked about Xinzi and the situation, she deliberately emphasized her tone. Li Shengxuan could hear it clearly. She was telling him clearly that not all Xinzi can achieve the effect of check and balance after chaos. One.

"I understand what you mean, and I will consider this matter again." Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan's face turning pale, and couldn't bear to say: "You are injured, so it is not appropriate to bother your mind and mind. I have nothing to do here, you can go back."

Fang Zilan saluted and resigned. As soon as she left, Xia Houzhang walked in with the servant who had just sprinkled the tea.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant has just now seen clearly that Lord Fang's injuries were indeed caused by the torture tools of the previous dynasty." The servant knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Li Shengxuan didn't speak, Xia Houzhang asked, "What proof?"

The servant said with lingering fear: "Returning to my lord, in order to serve as a warning during the previous court, there are patterns and patterns engraved on the instruments of torture. When you are tortured, the patterns will be printed on the wound, and it will take at least three days to disappear. Master Fang's wound , the imprint is the pattern of the nine-petal chrysanthemum, which was unique to the Ji family in the previous dynasty, and the slaves will never admit it wrong."

It was said that Li Shengxuan's hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. When he put on the cloak for Fang Zilan, he saw those injuries with his own eyes, and there were indeed patterns on them.He may not be able to identify the specific ones, but he can count the nine petals clearly.

Hearing this, Xia Houzhang couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Duke Yue was punished after he assassinated King Yu Ning. The wound was still a nine-petal chrysanthemum, which was a unique pattern of the former royal family. Coupled with Master Zhuge's verification, she has something to do with the ghost gate." Correlation. All the evidence is strung together, and King Yuning is undoubtedly the master of the ghost gate."

"I know." Li Shengxuan's reaction was very flat, Xia Houzhang was taken aback, "Since your Majesty knows, why did you allow King Yuning to marry Princess Wuqing? There is also the Duke of Yue, we can't stay anymore..."

"I heard that the punishments in the previous dynasty were severe, and those instruments of torture..." Li Shengxuan interrupted Xia Houzhang's words suddenly, but after a long pause, he asked, "Does it hurt?"

"Master Fang is probably a military commander, and his health is better than others, so he seems to be acting as usual." The servant said cautiously: "If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of bed for a few days."

Li Shengxuan pursed his lips, and said without anger, "This is not what I asked you."

The servant shivered for a moment, "Of course it was extremely painful. When the slave passed by the torture room in the front court when I was young, the screams of the tortured people could be heard endlessly. When they were carried out..."

"Enough." Li Shengxuan intercepted the servant's words, Xia Houzhang hurriedly asked the servant to retreat, "Your Majesty..."

"I want to be alone." Li Shengxuan had no expression on his face, but Xia Houzhang felt inexplicably gloomy, but he still boldly asked: "Then the Duke of Yue..."

"If you're worried, just go and have a look." Li Shengxuan regretted it as soon as he said that.There was a thought clamoring in his heart all the time, Fang Zilan couldn't stay.

However, under this thought, intertwined was the complex emotions of failing to protect her well and hurting her time and time again.

Xia Houzhang sent people to follow Fang Zilan, and she found out not long after she left the palace, but he still let people follow her into Huajie Liuxiang without any care.

According to what she said to Chu Bin, today she will come to Hualou to get his body deed.Xiao Xuan'er communicated with the Fang family, and Ah Shi waited in the Xunfang Building under the name of the Fang family early in the morning after learning about it.

　After trying so many times, it was finally confirmed.

　　Fang Zilan: Sure enough, this book is called Dajing Emperor's Thousand Layers Routine, right?
