Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 382

"Big brother!"

Seeing Fang Yizhi, Fang Yiai was overjoyed and surprised, and hurriedly got off the horse, tied the horse, and sat on the tea table with some surprise.

"Drink tea." Facing Fang Yiai's smiling face, Fang Yizhi said calmly.

Holding back her curiosity, she sipped a little tea, looked at her elder brother carefully, Fang Yiai smiled and said, "Brother, you must be passing by by chance, right?"

Although after rebirth, Fang Yizhi did not have any intersection with him, but in his previous memory, Fang Yizhi was an amiable older brother. At this time, the two brothers sat and talked with each other, somewhat suppressing the depression in Fang Yizhi's heart. Go down a bit.

Fang Yizhi went back to Fangfu to visit relatives last night, and when he heard the news that his second brother was leaving, he tossed and turned all night, left the city early in the morning, and deliberately chose the only road leading to Henan Road, waiting for Fang Yiai .

"Just passing by by chance? Is it such a coincidence?" Fang Yizhi chuckled, and then said, "What are you going to do when you go to Henan Road this time?"

Seeing that the eldest brother came here to practice, Fang Yiai grinned and said truthfully: "Of course it is to deal with the disaster."

"Take care of the disaster? Although Wansui ordered you to go to Meiwu County to deal with the disaster this time, people's hearts are indeed more predictable than natural disasters." Fang Yizhi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Fang Yiai, Signal him to keep it close to him.

"This is the relationship diagram of the Longmen Clan in Daoguan, Henan Province. Remember to burn it after reading it." Fang Yi's words were calm and bland, but it really surprised Fang Yiai.

There are 29 prefectures under the jurisdiction of Henan Province, and there are more than a hundred counties under it. Fang Yizhi grew up in Chang'an since he was a child and has never been out of the capital. He can get a detailed map of the Guanlongmen clan. impossible.

Unfold the folded paper, and you can see the names of the officials in each county. Not only is everyone's official position written on it, but also when they will take office and how old they are. The level of detail is comparable to the census of later generations.

"Brother, where did you get this paper? Is it correct?" Fang Yiai carefully put away the paper and said with a smile.

Fang Yi stared straight at his brother, and said coldly: "You will know when you arrive in Meiwu County. As for where it came from, I can't tell you for the time being."

"What? Keep it secret from your own brother. Is there anyone like you who is an older brother?" Fang Yiai and Fang Yizhi are a few years younger, and they rarely speak childishly, and they seem to be acting like a spoiled brother. The meaning of three-year-old children.

Fang Yi sipped his tea lightly, and said leisurely: "You were admitted to the Imperial College under a false name, and you told a big lie, did you ever tell Brother Yu?"

"This..." Fang Yiai lost her temper at what her brother said, so she had to lower her head and keep drinking tea, wanting to see what kind of medicine was sold in Fang Yi's gourd.

"Even though Changsun Anye is fond of drinking and drinking, he is not to be underestimated because of the advice and suggestions of the Longshi people around him. I have a vague feeling that Changsun Anye did it on purpose. How could Changsun Wuji's elder brother be a mediocre person with great ambition? When you go to Henan Road, you must be careful and don't let anyone catch you!"

Fang Yiai said disapprovingly: "Hey, bro, are you too careful? No matter how powerful the Guanlongmen Clan is, there is still an imperial court, isn't it?"

"What do you know!" Fang Yi put down the teacup, and said in a low voice and solemnly: "The Guanlong Clan has been prosperous for three dynasties, do you think it can be done with just one or two powerful officials?"

"Look at the Xiao family in the south of the Yangtze River, and think about the Empress Masters of the Southern Chen Dynasty. Which one was not a prominent family in the Southern Dynasty? Why is it declining now?"

"You can't see Mount Tai with a blind eye, second brother, you are indeed childish, if you don't correct it, you will suffer a lot!"

Fang Yiai blushed at what the elder brother said, and the joking expression on his face dissipated, and he clasped his hands and asked seriously: "Please tell the elder brother carefully."

"That's more or less the same!" Fang Yi gave Fang Yi'ai a hard look, and began a very lengthy analysis.

"Since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Guanlongmen Clan has had an endless stream of talents. Sui Wendi Yang Jian, Emperor Wude of our dynasty, and today's emperor, which one is not from the Guanlongmen Clan? Although Wansui ascended the throne intending to clarify his position with the Guanlongmen Clan, it has been nearly a hundred years. How can a strip of water in a strip of water be divided and cleaned in a moment?"

"Long Live sent you to Henan Province this time for disaster relief. In fact, he wanted you to deal with the eldest grandson Anye secretly, right? I think the eldest grandson Anye can be regarded as a representative of the Guanlongmen Clan, not to mention the capitals of the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Henan Province. He is a former student of the Guanlong Party, this towering tree, how do you plan to cut off its branches?"

Seeing Fang Yizhi talk about the issue of the Guanlong Party from the root, Fang Yiai fell into a short period of deep thought, carefully thinking about the issues that could be involved, and finally said with some uncertainty: "From small to large? Boil frogs in warm water? "

"What does it mean to boil a frog in warm water?"

Fang Yizhi frowned slightly, and continued: "Going to serve as a county magistrate in Henan Province, although your official rank is not high, but with your status, you will definitely be valued by officials from the Guanlong Party, Shandong gentry, and poor families. I intend to support you, but this is just to fight against the Guanlong party. They are all very slippery old loaches. How can they be willing to take the bait easily for you? If you don’t catch a big fish, Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng will not be able to take the bait. It's just to support in the court, to help? It's no less than a fool's dream!"

"When you arrive in Meiwu County, if you act early, you may die of illness or fall into the water like the previous two county magistrates."

"If it's too late, wait until Guanlong's party is on guard, no matter how hard your fist is, you won't be able to open that iron plate."

"If the action is taken lightly, not only will Wansui's goal of restricting Guanlong's party not be achieved, I am afraid that the wildfire of open and secret fighting between the court and China will also burn on our Fang family."

Seeing Fang Yizhi's methodical analysis, Fang Yiai suddenly had a new understanding of the eldest brother. After hesitating for a while, he stretched his neck and whispered: "Then let's kill you, you have to kill a tiger!"

"So, are you planning to kill Changsun Anye? Don't forget that Changsun Wuji is still in Chang'an. The reason why the Guanlong Party is feared by Wansui is because it spreads all over the hub of the Tang Dynasty, and the whole body is affected by it. , once the eldest grandson Anye dies, the Guanlong party is bound to share the same hatred, will our Fang family be able to withstand the wrath of the entire Guanlong wealthy family?"

Fang Yiai shook her head silently, confused by what her elder brother said so sharply, the method he thought was "safe" turned into a pot of overnight porridge in an instant - rotten.

"The reason why the Guanlong party is united is because they have common interests. The so-called success and failure are also Xiao He. If the interests suddenly increase, so what if they are brothers and sisters? Have you seen Yang Yong and Yang Guang from the previous dynasty? Even Crown Prince Yin and King Qi Yuanji of this dynasty?"

"The person that the eldest brother said turned against each other for the sake of the throne. Even if the Guanlong party is ambitious, they dare not rebel?"

"It's true that you're stupid! Wealthy families only care about profit and power, so why don't you focus on these two things?" Fang Yizhi said angrily.

Fang Yi was startled for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "I also ask elder brother to teach me."

"Although Changsun Wuji is the leader of the Guanlong Party, the land of Guanlong is so vast, and the Guanlong Party is not exclusive to his eldest grandson's family. Which one of the wealthy families, big or small, is not a human being? People? There must have been many internal contradictions accumulated over the past century, as long as these contradictions are properly expanded, it is still unknown whether the Guanlong Party can fight among itself."

Although Fang Yizhi was well-founded, he worried Fang Yiai, who is the magistrate of Qipin County, "Brother, I am just a magistrate of Qipin County, how do I start with interests and power? Even if the entire Meiwu All the money and food from the county are moved out, in the eyes of the Guanlong wealthy family, I am afraid it is not enough, right?"

Hearing Fang Yiai's words, Fang Yizhi showed a little smile, nodded and said: "Since you can't impress them, is it okay to scare them with excuses? How did the previous two county magistrates die? Nuo Da Henan Road has a unified caliber up and down, and there is nothing tricky in it?"

"The former two county magistrates of Meiwu County? Their dead little brother thinks it's very strange. Even if they came from a noble family and a poor family, they just don't listen to their orders and find an excuse to quit their official positions. There is no need for the eldest grandson to take the risk to kill them. Death by the court order." Fang Yiai frowned, and said cautiously while thinking.

"Yes, as long as you can find out the real cause of death of the two county magistrates, the gentry and poor families behind them will definitely take the opportunity to suppress the Guanlong Party. On the other hand, if you can really find out the clues, how can the Guanlong Party just wait to die? When the time comes to attack you, it will be difficult for the fox's tail not to show itself!"

"At that time, you only need to find out the cause of death of the previous two county magistrates. With a little intimidation, the old loach from Guanlong's party will definitely come to your door. At that time, you will express your wishes for Long Live, and you will not face grandson Ye publicly. If you make a death move, you can also gain the support of the poor and the gentry, and as long as the matter is completed, it will not be a problem to increase the official status."

As he said that, an imperceptible treachery flashed in Fang Yizhi's eyes, he got up and walked behind Fang Yi'ai, patted his second younger brother on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "It's impossible for the champion to see through such a thing that kills four birds with one stone. pros and cons, right?"
