Chapter 378
Li Shimin's behavior is unpredictable, one moment he was scolding his eldest grandson Wuji, but in the blink of an eye he turned the contradiction on Fang Yiai, such a profound way of doing things surprised the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

Fang Yiai lifted her robe and knelt down, held the wat board, bowed her head and said: "I am guilty, please punish me long live."

"This time, you dared to hack the gate of the prime minister's house regardless of the rank of the official. If you don't punish severely, what is the majesty of the official?"

Li Shimin's tone was frighteningly cold, his eyes were full of anger, and he clearly looked like he wanted to punish him severely.

"Fang Junmu has no officials. He dismissed Yinqing Guanglu from his official position, removed him from the fourth rank of Shangshu Youcheng, and reassigned Meiwu County as the county magistrate. If he commits another crime, he will not be spared lightly!"

Li Shimin slammed the ground, and all the civil and military officials in the court were dumbfounded.

"What? Doctor Yinqing Guanglu? Since when did Fang Jun have such an official title?"

"Fang Jun was originally going to Meiwu County to be the magistrate. He had already asked for an order in Wanhua Hall before. Has Long Live forgotten?"

"This is clearly a secret protection! Long live the dragon's heart is unfathomable, it's better not to point it out."

Within a short while, all the bewildered officials understood Li Shimin's intentions. Even Changsun Wuji's party was indignant, but he didn't dare to dismantle the emperor face to face.

Fang Yiai's expectation of bright and dark protection was within Fang Yi'ai's expectation. Seeing that Li Shimin really did this, Fang Xuanling, who is exquisite and exquisite, would not have other extravagant wishes, so she quickly got a cheap and good-looking way: "Long live cave is far away, and you can see thousands of miles away. The humble minister accepts the crime."

"Hey, I'll give you a sweet treat, and you're still acting like a good boy!" Li Shimin spat lightly, and said, "I'm going to serve as the magistrate of Henan Province this time, I'm afraid your arrogant temper will be violated again! This time you will be dismissed for the time being." Then the son-in-law of the third rank, with the title of lieutenant, will make a decision when we return to Chang'an, stand back!"

"I obey the decree." Fang Yiai kowtowed and got up, and stood back to the court, thinking, "It's a good time to change, anyway, Henan Road is the territory of the eldest grandson Anye, and it will be a hindrance to do things with this false title."

The court meeting continued for a while, talking about trivial matters, and when the officials dispersed, Fang Yiai walked out holding a wat board, but was stared at by Changsun Wuji's party, the resentment in his eyes was obvious Ruojie.

"Fang county magistrate!" Ma Zhou smirked and cupped his hands. Although his words were a little sarcastic, his eyes were filled with admiration.

Seeing Ma Zhou Yi's smirk, Fang Yiai spat lightly, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Wei Zheng, "Zhuangyuan Lang's clever tricks, with his strength and force, actually pulled the king of Hejian County into it, today's eldest grandson Wuji's party has suffered a lot, and I'm afraid he will be so angry that he won't be able to sleep."

Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng belong to a poor family, and Fang Yiai relies entirely on the support of the Shandong gentry behind Fang Xuanling and the people from all over the world. Now he is about to go to Henan Province to take up his post. How could Fang Yiai, who is more skilled than a monkey, not go? Win over the leaders of these two humble ministers.

"Brother Ma, Uncle Wei, don't make fun of the students. It's still early today, why don't you go to the Zhuangyuan Mansion and have a few glasses of water and wine?" Fang Yiai smiled and cupped her hands.

"Okay, I'd like to taste the fine wines from Zhuangyuan Lang's residence."

"The old man has given up drinking, but Zhuangyuan Lang's wine must be drunk!"

Just when Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng readily agreed, Bai Jian quietly walked beside the three of them.

"Magistrate Fang, Long Live Xuan, you go to Zichen Hall to accompany you for dinner." Bai Jian kept a cold face on purpose, trying to get Ma Zhou and Wei Zhengzhi to leave.

Fang Yiai was taken aback, thought carefully, and knew that Li Shimin had something to say to him, so he quickly cupped his hands and said, "My minister takes orders."

"Since Wansui is summoned, let's drink this wine at another time." Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "On the day Zhuangyuanlang departs, we will see him off at the Changting Pavilion outside the city. I hope Zhuangyuanlang will not be offended."

"Of course, you two go slowly."

After seeing off Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou, Fang Yiai looked around a few times, leaned in front of Bai Jian, and whispered, "Brother, is it good or bad?"

"Hey hey." Bai Jian squeezed her orchid fingers and covered her face with a smile, and said with a smirk: "Of course it's a good thing, but can there be bad things in a long live banquet?"

"Since you know, why is elder brother slower than younger brother?" Fang Yiai's tone of voice was filled with complaints, but her face was filled with joy, and she and Bai Jian strode towards Zichen Palace, the two were talking and laughing, as if they were old friends for many years generally.

Entering the Zichen Palace, Li Shimin was sitting at the dining table having a meal. Seeing Fang Yiai coming, he was not polite, "Sit down, see what you like, eat as soon as possible."

Fang Yiai was overwhelmed by the flattery, and bravely sat in the banquet, wandering around with the chopsticks in her hands for a long time, but did not dare to pick up a piece of food.

"I'm going to Henan Road this time. There are thousands of mountains and rivers. I'm afraid it will suffer for you." Li Shimin said leisurely, holding a lamp.

Fang Yiai was about to pick up a piece of chopped chicken, when she heard Li Shimin's words, she quickly put down her chopsticks, cupped her hands cautiously, and said, "Sharing worries for Long Live, why not talk about hard work."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and motioned Bai Jian to pour Fang Yi'ai a drink, then raised the wine cup and said softly: "Meiwu County is no better than Chang'an, this time you can go alone, you don't need to bring your family?"

"Long live, you don't want Shu'er to go with me? It doesn't make sense for the newlywed Yaner to let the princess suffer with me, the magistrate."

Seeing that Fang Yiai nodded and said nothing, Li Shimin looked a bit embarrassed, and continued: "Reluctant? Do you want me to reward you with a few maids of honor, and take them with you?"

As soon as this remark came out, Fang Yiai almost dropped the wine glass that she had just raised, and quickly stood up and bowed and replied, "I don't dare."

A trace of Ling Ran flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, he took a sip of the wine, but did not put down the cup, "Do you know why I want you to go to Meiwu County?"

"I don't know." Fang Yiai's eyes flickered, thinking, "Could it be that there is some mystery in that little Meiwu County?"

"Except for the first three county magistrates in Meiwu County, who was promoted within a year, the first and third all died in the flood of the river."

Knowing the past events in Meiwu County, Fang Yiai was startled at first, and then guessed the strangeness of it, "I think that although the county magistrate is not a high-ranking official, he doesn't need to take part in the battle to control the floods under his jurisdiction, right? The two seniors are How did he die? I'm afraid there is another mystery."

"One of the dead county magistrates was a protégé of your father, and the other was a Jinshi from a poor family, and the competent official who made the people of Meiwu County obedient and clean in the first year of his tenure was a child of the Guanlongmen family. "

A trace of resentment flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, and said, "Do you know the truth inside?"

After receiving Li Shimin's signal, Fang Yi sat back at the table in fear, cupped his hands and said, "Could it be that the previous two county magistrates died in accidents?"

Faced with Fang Yiai's confusion, Li Shimin smiled without saying a word, changed the subject, and said some illusory words, "Being an official outside the curtain is no better than Chang'an. The water is deep and muddy. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it with your cleverness alone." Don't let those old loaches go, you must be cautious when you go to Henan Road this time, don't be that river ghost!"

"Although Meiwu County is under the jurisdiction of Henan Province, it is not far from Laizhou and other counties and prefectures in Shandong. This trip to Meiwu County is considered to be half of your hometown. The clan power can be used when it is needed. Do you understand how much you can do?"

Fang Yiai's eyes flickered, and finally said boldly: "Long live is telling me to make good use of my father's relationship?"

"The Tao of officialdom has big roots and deep roots. If you pull it, it will affect the whole body. Use it when you want it, but if you bend the law for personal gain, be careful with your head!"

Having said this, Li Shimin slowly put down the wine cup in his hand, picked up a piece of venison, and put it on Fang Yiai's dinner plate himself.

"This time I'm going to Henan Road, I'm afraid that a seventh-rank county magistrate will not be able to deal with the eldest grandson Anye, why don't I give you a way?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Yi'ai up and down, with a smile that was not a smile. It is even more unpredictable.

"Long live, please show me." Fang Yiai got up and lifted her robe and knelt down, expecting Tang Taizong's "Fa'er" in her heart.

"Fang Jun listened to the decree: I will appoint you as the sixth-rank inspector of the procuratorate, and supervise the officials on my behalf. This time I am going to Henan Road, and many matters can be expediently handled."

"But it's good for you to know the official position of the inspector. Don't reveal it to others unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise the widow's method will not work."

Fang Yiai kowtowed to thank her, and her heart was already full of joy, "Although the rank of the sixth-rank inspector is not high, the power is really not small. Acting expediently. The word expedient is really elusive. When something happens, it is expedient. Removing from office is also expedient, and it is even more expedient!"
