Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 383 Little Thief
Fang Yiai, who was nodding her head in thought, heard her elder brother's sly tone, and subconsciously raised her head to look at Fang Yizhi.

"Brother, what do you mean by that? It feels very special." Fang Yiai stared closely at the elder brother's eyes, for fear of missing even half of the "strange" light that might have flashed by.

Fang Yi withdrew his palm, looked at the official road leading to Henan Road with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "The government and the public all know that Henan Road is a pond of stagnant water, long live I will send you to take up the post, I am afraid that I have deliberately reshuffled the cards .”

"Shuffle the cards? Clear the forces in the court?" Fang Yiai stood up and walked to the elder brother's side. The two brothers looked at the slightly desolate Yangguan Avenue, and both fell into silence.

After a while, Fang Yizhi finally said leisurely, "Maybe my guess is wrong. The war with the Turks is imminent, and Wan Sui may not have the energy to make such a huge move."

"Yi Ai, do you know which factions are divided into the court?" Fang Yi turned over and sat back at the table, murmuring while holding a lamp.

Fang Yiai's eyes rolled slightly, and based on her own experience, she half-truthed and half-guessed, "The Guanlong faction, the gentry faction, and the ministers from poor families?"

"No, sit down and wait for Brother Yu to chatter."

After Fang Yiai sat down, Fang Yi said directly: "The faction you mentioned is just the appearance on the bright side of my Tang Dynasty, but I have never seen through the deep meaning."

Seeing what his elder brother said, Fang Yi hesitated to speak, thought for a moment, then simply listened to Fang Yi talking about the mystery in the court.

"Birthplace is an appearance, but the deeper mystery is related to interests."

"Grandfather Gao left behind some old ministers, such as Xiao Yu, Yuwen Shiji and others."

"When Wansui was the King of Qin, there was another group of cronies who assisted him, such as father, uncle Du, eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji and others."

"There is another faction, the new courtiers who first appeared during the Zhenguan period. Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou are all in this list."

After explaining to Fang Yiai the general situation of the three factions in the government and the opposition, Fang Yi took a sip of tea and said in a calm manner: "Once the emperor and the courtiers, Xiao Yu and other old officials are timid in doing things. Then it involves major affairs in the court. Although my father, Uncle Du and others are veterans who founded the country, they will inevitably be jealous if their meritorious deeds are too great. His behavior is also relatively radical, and Wan Sui just wants to use Wei Zheng and other officials to restrain the veteran officials in Tiance Mansion, don't you see that?"

"With the help of Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou to restrain the senior ministers of Tiance Mansion, wouldn't Daddy be one of them?" Fang Yiai gasped, but he never thought of the benefits.

Fang Yi smiled wryly, and murmured: "Among the old ministers of Tiance Mansion, Changsun Wuji is very powerful, so Wansui will attack him. If the Guanlong Clan is weakened too much, Fang and Du's family will be the ones who will be unlucky." Already!"

"Yi love, I have a sentence for you from my brother, the water is clear and there are no fish, the water is turbid and dead fish, and the fish can swim freely in the water if it is not clear or turbid."

"Going to Henan Road, it is true to deal with the eldest grandson Anye, but you have to be cautious about how hard you strike. You can handle it yourself."

After finishing speaking, Fang Yi stood up straight, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, and then called Xiao Er to drink a jar of dirty wine.

A jar of turbid green ant wine and two shallow sea bowls made of rough pottery are the two brothers' parting wine.

"This is the first glass of wine, Brother Yu wishes you a safe journey."

"The second glass of wine, Yiai, you need to change your frizzy temper."

"For the third cup of wine, Brother Yu will take care of your parents, but you can relax, what troubles in Chang'an have anything to do with you, Brother Yu will try to fix the book with you."

After drinking three cups of turbid wine, Fang Yi urged his brother to get on the horse, and personally helped Fang Yiai's "palm".

Seeing the second brother going away on the horse, Fang Yi shouted loudly: "Yi Ai, remember, you and I are brothers and sisters of the same mother at all times!"

Sitting on the horse, Fang Yi'ai heard her brother shouting behind her, her nose felt sore for some reason, and she almost shed tears, so she raised her palm and waved it slightly, but she didn't even dare to turn her head, fearing that her brother would see her The ugliness of crying.

After traveling for twenty miles, the scenery on both sides of the road gradually became desolate. The wide official road remained the same as before, but there were very few pedestrians.

"Brother came to the official road to wait for me, and carefully analyzed the pros and cons of the court with me. What is his intention? Could it be that he is really afraid that my actions will not be serious?"

"He has always been a loose official in Honglu Temple, how can he know the situation in the court like the palm of his hand? And there is the official name card of Henan Province, how did brother get it?"

Fang Yiai pondered hard, and after a long time without success, she simply sighed, "Whatever you do, anyway, my brother and I are brothers and sisters, and all of this has always been for my own good."

Because of the turbid wine, and the horse's back was bumpy and unstable, Fang Yi's love was drunk, and he was not proficient in equestrian skills. He was afraid that he would fall off the horse, so he had to let the horse move forward slowly, and he took out Fang Yi's clothes. The paper folded as a gift, carefully examined the list of current officials in Henan Province.

"Under the jurisdiction of Henan Province, one prefecture, 29 prefectures, a total of 120 counties, and Meiwu County is in Caozhou?"

"Why is there only six counties in Caozhou? This is too small."

Along the way, it was past noon, and after carefully examining the folded paper, Fang Yiai felt a little hungry, so she took out the dry food that she carried along with her, and started to eat whatever was left of the clear water.

Sitting on the horseback, Fang Yiai looked at the wasteland to the left and right, a poem suddenly sounded in his heart, and Wen Chaogong recited it casually.

"Ancient vines, old trees, dark crows, small bridges and flowing water, people, ancient roads, westerly winds and thin horses. When the sun sets, there are heartbroken people in the world."

After reading Tianjing Shaqiusi, Fang Yiai took back the dry food, and thinking of Qin Jingniang who was coaxed away by herself, she couldn't help laughing bitterly, "Jingniang came to see me before four o'clock last night, presumably there must be something important ? Come back to Chang'an."

In the middle of speaking, Fang Yiai's thoughts suddenly became chaotic with the sound of horse hooves in his ears.

"What? Running so fast? Could it be a thieves?" Fang Yiai turned her head to look, and almost fell off the saddle after seeing the face of the person coming.

"Little thief!" Qin Jingniang was dressed in a crimson green lapel, her upper body was more fragrant than armor, and her hair was tied with black hair tied into a dark ponytail. She looked as handsome as she could be.

Fang Yiai waited until Qin Jingniang rode her horse parallel to each other, and then regained her composure, "Jingniang, why did you come after me?"

"I don't come after me, I'm afraid I'll be deceived by you! Otherwise, it's hard to say whether I will see you, a heartless man next year!" Qin Jingniang raised the whip and made a gesture to beat her. Fang Yiai was so frightened that she repeatedly begged for mercy, her face turned red. Only then did the sullenness on the Internet dissipate a little.

Although Fang Yiai didn't want to meet Qin Jingniang, but now seeing the beautiful woman chasing after her, she felt very happy in her heart, "Jingniang, you came so abruptly, I'm afraid you will make Wansui unhappy again."

"Isn't it the helper you little thief asked Wanzai for?"

Qin Jingniang's Yixiyiyiyan words surprised Fang Yiai again, her eyes widened, and it took a while before she realized, "What? The person Long Live sent to help me is... you?"

"Hmph! I'll let you know if I catch up!" Qin Jingniang spat lightly, spat on the white horse with a whip, and threw Fang Yiai behind in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Qin Jingniang's graceful and sassy back, Fang Yiai smacked her lips, and a slight smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Little girl, don't let me catch up with you!"

"However, why did Long live send Jingniang to help me? If he wanted to send it, it should be from Yaohuan. This time I went to Meiwu County to fight wits but not strength, Jingniang."

Seeing Qin Jingniang going farther and farther, Fang Yiai restrained her confusion, urged her mount, and quickly chased Qin Jingniang.

Riding the horse and galloping wildly, Fang Yi apologized and laughed, Qin Jingniang's face was as frosty as autumn, and after entanglement, they came to the post station located a hundred miles away from Chang'an City.

After tying up the horse, Fang Yiai took out the seal, and after proving her identity to the postman, she and Qin Jingniang walked into the lobby of the posthouse one after another.

Yicheng fetched the registration documents, quickly wrote down Fang Yiai's official rank, and said with a smile: "You two superiors, how many days will you rest again? Can I have food and tea? Can I change my clothes? Do the saddles and shoes need to be replaced? "

"Come to the post office to register an account, do you still need so many names? There are quite a lot of projects, but we don't seem to be able to use them"

While Fang Yiai was muttering, Qin Jingniang frowned slightly, stretched out her hand to push the thief away, bit her crimson lips lightly, and said to the officer in charge of the station, "Meals for two people, a pot of tea, and a room will be enough."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Yi'ai and Yi Cheng Guan'er looked at Qin Jingniang at the same time, their eyes were full of surprise.
