Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 179 Send you to the blue sky

"Fang Chongyong, take the order."

Looking at Fang Chongyong who was stunned, Gao Lishi said with a smile.

"The grassroots accept the order."

Fang Chongyong took the yellow silk from Gao Lishi with both hands, looking strange.

"Your father, Fang Quanzhong, is the envoy of Lingnan Economics, but you are not a common man. No matter how you look at it, you are also from a family of officials. The words of a common man are a big joke in the world."

Gao Lishi waved his hand and corrected the "minor" flaws in Fang Chongyong's words.

Zhang Xiancheng, who was on the side, felt a thump in his heart, secretly complaining.Looking at this posture, it seems that Fang Chongyong’s holy family is very prosperous!
"General Zuo Jinwu Guards?"

Fang Chongyong opened the imperial edict and looked at it again and again to confirm that he had read it correctly. He suddenly felt incredible.

He was originally a prisoner, but now he speaks out.Is this change too fast?
Li Mi handed the copper fish talisman around his waist to Fang Chongyong and said: "Jinwu Guard has a great responsibility. General Fang should be careful in his words and deeds." There was a hint of advice in his words.

But maybe if someone comes to replace him, he can be saved from the sea of ​​misery.Li Mi had obvious relief on his face.

Zhonglangjiang is a title that means "neither donkey, nor horse, nor dog". The three characters in its name all have their own meanings.

Therefore, even if Fang Chongyong is already the general of the Jinwu Guard, outsiders still call him "General Fang", not "General Fanglang", let alone "Fang Jinwu".

In this official position, "中" represents its nature as a service staff in the inner courtyard of the palace; "lang" represents its civilian attributes, that is, Langguan and attendant; "general" represents its characteristics as a military attache, that is, it has soldiers and horses to command. general.

Such a weird title implies the special status of General Zhonglang.

The official position of Jinwu Wei Zhonglang was not only a forbidden army, but also under the direct command of the emperor. It was also a civilian official, accepting the authorized command from the highest-ranking civilian official (prime minister).

It can be said that it is a powerful official position that combines the trinity of "imperial power", "military generals" and "civilian officials".

But, these are just comparisons, to put it nicely.Specific to the actual situation of Jinwu Guard, Fang Chongyong's men were fully equipped and only had 500 men.

Controlled half of Jinwu Guard's troops.

Fang Chongyong glanced at Zhang Xiancheng and saw that the other party did not dare to meet his eyes, so he secretly speculated in his mind.

Jin Wuwei Lushi joined the army. He was only an eighth-rank official and seemed inconspicuous.

However, this official position is not directly managed by himself, but is managed by the "Yushitai".

The responsibility of this official position is to monitor officials at all levels of Jinwu Guard and be responsible for daily inspections.

Therefore, it makes sense that Li Mi does not like Zhang Xiancheng, because Zhang Shougui controlled and manipulated Jinwu Guard through Zhang Xiancheng.

Even if you can't resist, no one is willing to be manipulated by others, not to mention that this kind of "being manipulated" will eventually bear political responsibility!
Although Fang Chongyong didn't know why Brother Ji suddenly appointed him as the general of the Jinwu Guard, it was obvious that if there was a "monitoring army" in his team who only knew how to cause trouble, he would not be able to get things done no matter what!

Who wants to do something while there are enemies behind him who are watching his every move?

"Sir, this Zhang Xiancheng is the son of the left prime minister. Wouldn't it be a bit awkward for him to be in the Jinwu Guard... I am not worried that he will cause harm, but I am worried that him being in the Jinwu Guard will delay the saint's important events."

Fang Chongyong pulled Gao Lishi aside and asked in a low voice, especially emphasizing the word "big event".

This major event can be an internal matter within Jinwu Guard; it can also be an matter on the Hexi Commercial Road!
It depends on how Gao Lishi understands it!
Sure enough, after hearing this, Gao Lishi nodded slightly without comment.

Seeing that the other party seemed a little moved, Fang Chongyong decided to add another fire!

Fang Chongyong said grimly: "Besides, this time it was him who reported a certain person for imperial examination fraud. Now that a certain person is the lieutenant general of the Jinwu Guard, there should be no suspicion of imperial examination fraud, right? Then if he falsely accuses someone of cheating, should Zhang Xiancheng Would you like to express your gratitude as well?”

The meaning expressed in the words could not be clearer: Get rid of this annoying Zhang Yanei quickly, otherwise I will definitely have to wear small shoes for him in the future, or be worn by him.

Fang Chongyong believed that Brother Ji was very willing to see some of his military governors, prime ministers and other high-ranking officials. The descendants of these people would have a tense relationship!
The more quarrels there are between each other, the more Ji Ge will like it!
As Gao Lishi's closest attendant, it's impossible for him not to understand this truth.

"Then go to the Council Hall now and talk to the two prime ministers? Otherwise, what do you want to do?"

Gao Lishi looked at Fang Chongyong and asked with an enigmatic smile on his face.

"Over in Hexi, someone remembers that the governor of Guazhou has just returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and there is no suitable candidate yet.

Letting Zhang Xiancheng go to Hexi to serve as the governor of Guazhou will neither hinder me nor him. Wouldn't this be the best of both worlds? "

Fang Chongyong decided to "follow" Zhang Yanei's wishes and give him more strength to make him run faster on his way to death!

"Well, wouldn't it be nice for you to do this to him?
People still have to establish their authority, just like you caused the Xing family's extermination case. "

Gao Lishi asked in confusion, he was a little confused about what Fang Chongyong wanted to do.

The four years of experience as governor of Bian Town is a very important political experience for them, the children of high-ranking officials. They will be on the fast track for promotion in the future!
"This person is very generous. I will never beat him to death just because he offends me.

Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted.

But letting him stay in Jinwu Guard makes me feel uncomfortable, and so does he. I'm afraid the left prime minister will also feel uncomfortable, so why bother? "

Fang Chongyong explained patiently.

Hearing this, although Gao Lishi was still dubious, he still nodded slightly in agreement and said: "That's good, the governor of Guazhou is not particularly important. In addition, the left prime minister also served as the governor of Guazhou, so Zhang Xiancheng Go, it will be a good story."

Of course it’s a good story, otherwise how could I tell it!
Fang Zhongyong complained secretly in his heart, but his face showed a fearful nod.

With Zhang Yanei's self-righteous and young and frivolous character, he would definitely use his position as governor to take action on the business of the Shazhou caravan.

But no matter how he plays, he will still stir up a hornet's nest.Because the amount of wealth is certain, Zhang Yameni has no special tricks.

Moreover, Fang Chongyong certainly knows the advantages and disadvantages of the system he designed himself.

No matter how many tricks you play in a Ponzi scheme, the essence will not change.

If this system does not receive continuous fresh blood, it will become a deformed "internal circulation" system.

Brother Ji rewarded the "earned" treasures and money from the inner treasury to noble people like the third wife of the Yang family.

These nobles took their money and went to Chang'an East Market to buy luxury goods at unusually high prices.

The biggest boss behind the luxury store is Ji Ge himself, who continuously sucks blood from these powerful people.

In order to compete with each other, these powerful people will also go to great lengths to exploit the people in local places, get more money, and spend sky-high costs to maintain normal communication within the luxurious and powerful circles.

This does not include the various so-called "handling fees" and "recommendation fees" for buying and selling officials that have been pushed up.

Even Fang Chongyong didn't dare to think about the terrible consequences if this system continued to develop. As an ancient man who lacked knowledge and background, Zhang Yanei could imagine it?

I'm afraid that after Zhang Yanei arrived in Hexi, he thought he had reached a gold mine, and it was true that he would work hard to make money.

However, he never imagined that not only a lot of this money belonged to Ji Ge and was untouchable, but the rest also belonged to local Qiu Ba and Hexi bureaucrats at all levels, who were also untouchable.

Once touched, the conflict with the corresponding force begins.

Even if these are not problems, everyone is blind and let Zhang Yanei succeed and take advantage of him.

It seems that this system is not far away from thunder.

Once the thunder explodes, Fang Chongyong cannot predict the impact it will have. In short, it will make Brother Ji extremely angry or even furious.

At that time, if Brother Ji wants to pursue the culprit, he will go after Fang Yanei, who helped Brother Ji transfer countless money in the past four years without taking any money. Or he will go after Fang Yanei, who made a huge profit not long after he went there. "What about Zhang Yanei, whose Hexi trade and smuggling system completely collapsed?

The answer is self-explanatory.

If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy!
Fang Chongyong's move can be described as a "conspiracy" against Zhang Xiancheng.If this person can endure it and is willing to work hard in Guazhou, then Fang Chongyong's conspiracy will be completely bankrupt.

Otherwise, it will be your own fault and you will not be able to blame others.

"Alas, the left and right have been fighting fiercely recently. They haven't gone home recently, and they stay in the meeting hall for food and accommodation. Although they are facing each other at the office desk, they never say a word.

Hehe, when you are looking for the right prime minister, don't go to the political hall to find someone. You have to watch the road. "

Gao Lishi patted Fang Chongyong's shoulder hard, turned around and left.The others also wanted to leave quickly, and soon Fang Chongyong was the only one left in the mortgage room.

Because this is the signing room where he works.

"Elder! Can you let me insert a confidant into the Jinwu Guard? Otherwise, there will be no one to run errands!"

Fang Chongyong then remembered that he had forgotten to arrange an official position for Zhang Guangsheng, and quickly caught up with him and spoke quickly in Gao Lishi's ear.

"Below the eighth rank, just report it directly to the right minister. What a big deal! Why don't you go home and report that you are safe!"

Gao Lishi cursed loudly at him. When he saw him, he was like a poisonous snake and beast. He walked faster than he ran, for fear of getting the truth.

"Hey, when you are an official, you should be the king of the king, and when you marry, you should marry Wang Yunxiu.

When would it be better to leave Chang'an and get married quietly?

There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the city of Chang'an, so you have to keep a low profile. Getting married in Chang'an is like placing a fortune. "

Fang Chongyong crossed his arms, looked at the deep imperial city outside Jinwuwei Yamen, and said to himself.

……

Late at night, near the temporary palace of Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, which was arranged at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the loyal king Li Heng was warming himself in front of a fire.

On the simple grill set up nearby, he was sprinkling spices on the mutton, preparing to roast the meat as a midnight snack.

Of course, it was served to brother Ji as a son's "filial respect" to his father.However, whether Brother Ji can eat it or not is not a problem for him as a "filial son".

This gesture itself was made for Brother Ji to see and for outsiders to see.

At this moment, one of Li Heng's personal followers slowly walked up to him and began to help sprinkle the seasonings calmly.

"How is the princess' condition? I heard that she was ill. Is her condition getting better now?"

Li Heng's slightly haggard face carried a hint of unnoticeable tension and uneasiness, and his facial muscles were tense.

"Back to Your Highness, the princess died of illness just three hours ago."

The attendant said calmly.

"Alas, such a beauty is so miserable. I am deeply saddened by this."

Li Heng sighed, looking melancholy, and he didn't know what he was melancholy about.

"Does anyone else know about this?"

Li Heng couldn't help but ask.

"Back to Your Highness, the news has been blocked and the funeral will not be announced secretly."

"Well, that's it, let me be quiet for a while.

By the way, the saint is having fun these days, don't let this little thing disturb the saint. "

Li Heng waved his hands feebly and said.When outsiders looked at him, they would only feel that he was tired, but they could not tell whether he was happy or sad.

Even though the princess died, she didn’t feel sad at all. This loyal king’s heart was not ordinary cruel!

The attendant thought secretly in his heart.

"Well, I'll go back to the Ten Kings' house now."

"Well, I will wait until I return to Chang'an to mourn."

Li Heng continued to emphasize, not knowing whether he was persuading his servants or himself.

After the servant left, he let out a long sigh, with mixed feelings in his heart and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Princess Wei is Wei Jian's sister. Wei Jian has the ambition to become prime minister, and the possibility of success is very high.

Therefore, this hidden danger must be eliminated.

Therefore, Webster, who was defiled by Li Longji, must die!
If she had not died, the abortion would not have been explained clearly. The saint would have thought that it was his "good son" who did it!
What Concubine Wei is carrying in her belly is, after all, the flesh and blood of a saint!
If she didn't die, she would have the habit of occupying her daughter-in-law as a saint and playing with her daughter-in-law.

As a loyal king to her husband, she is afraid that she will be forced to become a "rebel king" by Brother Ji in the end!
As long as this woman is dead, everything will be justified.

The saint has not defiled his daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law has not become pregnant with evildoers. The interest alliance between Prince Zhong's Palace and Wei Jian will not be substantially affected.

In the name of husband and wife, supporting each other and staying together forever, how beautiful this is.

Therefore, it is not wrong for him, the husband, to send away this "impure" wife, right?
Did you do nothing wrong?
Li Heng asked repeatedly in his mind. He seemed to see the ghost of Webster wandering on the other side of the fire, looking at him with a ferocious expression.

However, when I concentrated on taking a closer look, it seemed like there was nothing there.

Put the spiced mutton on the grill and light the fire at the bottom. Li Heng just sat on the simple bench, and then shook the wooden handle on the grill in a daze, turning the mutton fixed on it.

Turning and turning, his thoughts seemed to go back to the day when Webster entered the bridal chamber.

The wedding was very lively, many people came, and there were many dowries and betrothal gifts.This is a very important marriage.

Webster was so beautiful, young and full of energy at that time.

The soft skin seems to be able to squeeze out water!
Even when having sex, there is freshness and an indescribable sense of pleasure.

Everything after marriage is peaceful and harmonious.

She doesn't seem to have done anything wrong, right?

That seems to be the case, right?
The only thing she did wrong was that she was teased by her father-in-law and got pregnant.

It's a pity that in this world, many times, people only look at the results, not the process, and don't ask about the reasons.

A trace of sadness surged in Li Heng's heart. Being Li Longji's son was such a sadness.We have already killed three people in one day, who knows if there will be more in the future?
"I really don't want to, I really don't want to, I will definitely give you a grand burial..."

Two drops of crocodile tears fell from Li Heng's eyes and fell on the roasting mutton, making a "sizzling" sound.

A gust of wind blew by, and the ears seemed to be filled with the low murmur of Webster, who seemed to be shouting in seductive words: "Come and accompany me! Come and accompany me! I can't wait any longer!"

"what!"

When he was stunned, Li Heng accidentally touched his hand on the hot roasted mutton, and a big blister suddenly appeared on the back of his hand.

A Longwu sergeant who was on duty nearby ran over, crossed his arms and saluted Li Heng and asked, "Your Highness is burned, I'm going to get some medicine..."

"No need, it's just a small matter."

Li Heng's face twitched in pain, and he waved his hand to the Longwu sergeant pretending not to care.

"In this way, I will retreat."

This Longwu soldier who wanted to "make progress" was so flattered that he slapped the horse's leg and had to retreat.

Looking at the roasted mutton, Li Heng was so angry that he kicked it to the ground. He was breathing heavily on the spot, clenching his hands into fists and looking ferocious!
