Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 196 I will kill anyone who messes with me

When it was time to go home, Wang Yunxiu and Anaye noticed that Fang Chongyong had a gloomy face and almost always spoke in the shortest and least sentences. He didn't ask questions and answered them as sparingly as he could.

He seemed to be worried.

After nightfall, he would be alone in the study in a daze, doing nothing, just like this for half an hour.

"Actually, what I said yesterday was a bit excessive.

It's not that I don't like being with you. Every time you kiss me, I feel secretly happy, but sometimes I really can't serve you well.

Normally you talk and behave in a well-behaved manner, but why do you feel like a different person in bed..."

Wang Yunxiu was hemming and hawing in defense with a red face, carefully keeping her smile on her face.

"Wei Sanniang is dead."

Wang Yunxiu said a lot, but Fang Chongyong only said five words.

"Dead? No way? How did you die?"

Wang Yunxiu was shocked. She had just met Wei Sanniang not long ago, and the way she looked alive and kicking didn't look like she was seriously ill.

"The saint wanted her to be the second Yang Yuhuan, but she refused, so she jumped down from the study room in the main building of Qinzhengwu... and disappeared."

Fang Chongyong said in a deep voice.

"Really..."

Wang Yunxiu was so shocked by this incident that he was speechless and didn't know how to evaluate it.

"I'm downstairs, just a few feet away from reaching her, just a few feet away."

Fang Chongyong's hands trembled slightly, he clenched his fists, suppressed the indignation in his tone, and said as calmly as possible.

Although he said this, he knew that Wei Sanniang would definitely die.If she didn't die, King Shou and her family would be in danger.When debts are wiped out after death, Wei Sanniang can only jump down to protect King Shou and the family, so that Brother Ji can no longer make a fuss about this matter.

A living life has become a victim of power.

She's not the first, and she won't be the last.

Life is so helpless.

"The saint seems to have turned into an unprincipled and ignorant king now."

Wang Yunxiu couldn't help but sigh.

She has received the education of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" since she was a child. When she grows up, she will "take care of her husband and raise her children". She is a very traditional feudal aristocratic woman.

However, what happened in the past year has shattered her views and cast serious doubts on many of the past statements.

The imperial examination became a battlefield for power.

Long Wujun became the backstage and protective umbrella of local ruffians.

Even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty became a different kind of monster who targeted his daughter-in-law.

What happened to the Tang Dynasty? Is this still a prosperous age?
Wang Yunxiu used to occasionally wonder whether the current world was getting worse.

Wei Sanniang's death today seemed to tell her clearly that this was indeed the case.

The world has become increasingly chaotic.

"If we encounter the same situation as Wei Sanniang, will we have the courage to be like her and would rather be broken than destroyed?"

Fang Chongyong suddenly asked.

Wang Yunxiu did not answer, but sighed quietly.

What didn't happen cannot be assumed.

After it happened, there was no way to regret it.

"What if a saint or a powerful person asks for you or Anaye?"

Fang Chongyong continued to ask.

Wang Yunxiu smiled bitterly and shook her head, waving her hand gently to signal her man to stop talking nonsense.

Of course, although this kind of thing is not enough, other things are hard to say.There are always times in life when you are weak or unable to do anything even with all your strength.

"So, when I came back today, I wasn't angry, or sad, or emotional. I was just thinking about a solution to this problem."

Fang Chongyong said seriously, as if he was really thinking about life and death.

"So, what solution did Alang come up with?"

Wang Yunxiu asked angrily, sitting opposite Fang Chongyong, playing with her long hair with her fingers, looking careless.

Fang Chongyong grabbed the "Wind Phantom Knife" beside him, put it with the scabbard on the table, patted the handle of the knife gently and said:
"The means to solve complex problems are often very simple. The so-called simplicity is nothing more than this."

"Well, that's good, so what exactly is the solution?"

Wang Yunxiu asked as he yawned.

"I will kill anyone who wants to mess with me. After killing everyone who wants to mess with me, no one will dare to mess with me.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who caused the problem.

I shouldn't be used to exchanging benefits with certain people.

So as long as I kill them, then all their things belong to me, and I don't have to worry about how to make deals with these people. "

Fang Chongyong said "fallacious theories", which made Wang Yunxiu feel speechless for a while.

You have been a governor, why are you still so naive?Can officialdom matters be solved by beating and killing?
She didn't even know how to evaluate it.

"How is your idea different from those bandits who robbed homes? You are now an officer of the Longwu Army after all!"

Wang Yunxiu asked while stroking her forehead. She felt that the other party's thinking had entered a misunderstanding.

Although Fang Chongyong was stimulated by Wei Sanniang's incident, he was right to want to "make progress".

But his way of "progressing" is not quite right and is a bit too rough.

"Aren't the officers and soldiers just bandits in military uniforms? If they take off their dog skins, what's the difference between them and bandits?"

Fang Chongyong had an inexplicable expression of doubt on his face and asked almost out of his mouth.Obviously, that's what he was thinking in his heart. He asked the question completely subconsciously and didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Yes, in Shazhou, the Doulu Army is the Tang Army when they put on their military uniforms, and they are horse bandits when they take off their military uniforms. Alang, the governor of Shazhou, takes off his official robes and is the biggest bandit leader. Is it any wonder?"

Anaye's lazy voice came from the door.

She walked to sit next to Wang Yunxiu, winked at Fang Chongyong and said:

"What kind of dog emperor? If he offends our Alang in the future, he can go up and stab him to death with a knife. Does he still have a few lives? Or is he too valuable to be killed?
If King Shou had such courage and courage, would Wei Sanniang be forced to commit suicide?
Although these people look like five or six of them, they are quite noble. After being slaughtered, they are just a puddle of meat on the ground. Anyone can step on them.

When I was in Shazhou with Alang, there was a big Hu merchant from the Western Regions who was very wealthy and had thousands of guards. He was killed by Alang and he was dead. He didn't even know which sand dune he was buried under. "

"Hey, please stop saying a few words. Chang'an is no different from Shazhou. The rules are slightly different."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand to shut up Anaye.

What kind of dog emperor is that? That’s your relative!

If Wang Yunxiu hadn't been there, Fang Chongyong would have wanted to pick up Anaye's ears and scold her.

"Anaye's words are a bit extreme, but the truth is good. Now I can see that Chang'an City is not a reasonable place. If I encounter someone who is unreasonable in the future, I can only use a knife to kill him. Reason with them."

Fang Chongyong said to Wang Yunxiu with certainty.

Wei Sanniang's incident reminded him.

If you encounter something in the future that the so-called strategy cannot solve, then just go to the knife to do it.

A tall and dignified man cannot be inferior to a woman like Wei Sanniang.

……

Maybe his brain has regained its sanity, or maybe he has a guilty conscience.The "no-football order" issued by Brother Ji to King Shou was canceled after only one day.

Not only that, Brother Ji also sent people to send a lot of gold, silver, silk and other gifts to comfort King Shou, and arranged a new marriage partner for him!

The next bride is Du, the second daughter of Dr. Zanshan Du Youlin, and the wedding will be held in fifteen days.

However, the venue for the wedding was not the regular Ten Princes' Residence, nor was it the Xingqing Palace where Brother Ji lived.

But it is the Ganlu Ni Temple in Shengyefang... to the west of Xingqing Palace!
It is a rare thing for a wedding to be held in a temple.Some well-intentioned people speculated that the two wives of King Shou "died accidentally" might have been caused by not praying enough when they got married.

Therefore, the wedding venue was chosen at Ganluni Temple in Shengyefang. On the one hand, this place is next to Xingqing Palace. On the other hand, it also has the meaning of "exorcism".

Of course, the imperial edict will definitely not say such boring things.Anyway, fifteen days later, it will be an auspicious day. King Shou will hold a wedding at Ganluni Temple in Shengyefang. This is for sure!
Whether King Shou accepts it or not, it will not change the outcome of this matter.Therefore, King Shou's courtyard was preparing for weddings and funerals at the same time, and it became a "peculiar" landscape.

Qin Zheng Wu's building, because someone had just died, Brother Ji thought it was unlucky and had already sealed the building.The place where he works has become the Calyx Xianghui Building in Xingqing Palace, which was originally used for play.

At this moment, in a bedroom in the Xianghui Building, Li Longji was being washed by Gao Lishi while casually asking about recent government affairs.

After Wei Sanniang's death, Brother Ji has been in a state of silence, and no one knows what he is thinking.He only occasionally spoke to Gao Lishi, and other times, it was as if he had "aphasia."

"Have you found all the gangsters who were killed a few days ago and their backends in the Longwu Army?"

Li Longji's eyes were a little dull, but his words were extremely clear.

"Back to Saint, once those gangsters died, the clues were lost. Now we only know that General Wu Zhiyi of the Longwu Army was involved."

Gao Lishi said calmly.

"Let Wu Zhiyi investigate for himself and punish anyone found. He will never tolerate it. The Longwu Army must not be in chaos."

Li Longji said bitterly, with a very unhappy tone.

Even a teenage girl dared to be "constant and unyielding" in front of him, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It seemed that the deterrence of the imperial power was not enough!
Now Li Longji is very angry and can't find anyone to vent to.

You can't pull Wei Sanniang's body out and whip it to vent your anger, right?

"By the way, what has Prince Shou been doing these days?"

Li Longji asked casually, hoping to hear how King Shou was preparing to rebel, so that he could find a reason to destroy him.

"Back to the saint, King Shou went to Chang'an West Market to buy medicine in the past two days!"

Gao Lishi said softly.

"Is it poison? Is he planning to poison me?"

Brother Ji's face flushed with excitement, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all.

"Back to the saint, it's just that the medicine is...Wu Shi Powder."

Gao Lishi replied helplessly.

"Five Stones?"

Brother Ji was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disappointment: "Prince Shou, this loser, has given up on himself like this?"

"Back to the saint, not only that, King Shou now goes to the Daqin Temple every day and takes Five Stone Powder there. The people sent by the slaves saw with their own eyes that King Shou was in a dissolute manner. After taking Five Stone Powder, he became brothers with the barbarians from the Western Regions. "

"That's it."

Brother Ji murmured to himself, shaking his head in disappointment.

The Shou King is like this, even if he sits on the other person's head and shits, that person will still smile and open his mouth.

hateful!Why don't you have any masculine qualities? Are you ready to rebel and then let me kill you?
Brother Ji shouted in his heart, transferring all his hatred for Wei Sanniang to the longevity king Li Xuan.

But this Li Chen would rather give up on himself and take Five Stone Powder, but he has no intention of retaliating against his father's behavior.

Not even any objections were raised to the newly arranged wedding, nothing was mentioned!

Li Longji didn't even know how to deal with this "hob meat".

"Sage, I think this, Prince Shou has no connection with the outer dynasty, and he is a descendant of Concubine Wu Hui, so he is naturally not welcome.

Even if he wanted to rebel, it was impossible for anyone to follow him.

Apart from engaging in witchcraft at home, what else could King Shou do? "

Gao Lishi suggested cautiously.In fact, he felt that this matter was completely messed up by Brother Ji. Unfortunately, it had reached this point and it was impossible to turn back time.

Why bother when Li Chen, an unloved child, can be left to fend for herself?

What's the point of tossing Li Xuan?
Perhaps Gao Lishi's words touched Ji Ge's heart. The latter nodded slightly and sighed: "King Shou does not love himself, so I will reprimand him and let him return from his lost ways."

He waved his hand impatiently, obviously not wanting to mention the matter of King Shou again.

On the surface, these words were meant to rebuke King Shou, but in reality they were letting him go as he pleased.If you like Wu Shi San, you can eat Wu Shi San. If you like Wei Shi Jiao, you can eat Shu Sheng Jiao. No one will care about you in the future!
"Yangzhou Mansion seems to have stopped sending offerings to the inner treasury for a few days. Send someone to urge Yang Zhao to see what's going on."

Li Longji seemed to think of something, and raised his voice in confusion.

"Sage, Yang Zhao sent a letter the day before yesterday, saying that there was civil unrest near Yangzhou Prefecture, which blocked the river. He is organizing manpower to clean up these rioters, and things will be fine when the river is clear."

Gao Lishi said softly.He probably guessed what was going on and had already asked Yang Zhao to deal with it.It's just that now that Li Longji is angry, there is no need to talk about such "little things".

If you have the power and virtue to sit in Yangzhou Prefecture, what big things can happen?

"Yangzhou has always been prosperous. Money can be picked up all over the place, so how can there be civil unrest?"

Brother Ji asked in confusion.

"Probably, the amount of offerings allocated to Yangzhou Prefecture last year was too large. Yang Zhao continued to accept it without mercy, so the people in Yangzhou were dissatisfied."

Gao Lishi said with emotion.

Why Yang Zhao wanted to squeeze Yangzhou Prefecture with all his life was because of the sage of the Tang Dynasty in front of him.

How could he speak ill of Yang Zhao.

"Well, he has worked hard these years. Next year, let's give him a top grade and then transfer him back from Yangzhou Prefecture."

Brother Ji sighed helplessly.

If Yang Zhao, a "good official" who was obedient and willing to work hard to make money, was killed, who would take care of his shortcomings?

Ji Ge's standard for a "good official" is actually very consistent, and he has never had double standards.

Anyone who can help him get money is a good official.As for how messy the place was, it was not something that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty worried about.

Otherwise, there are so many courtiers in the central government, why do we support them?
