Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 516 Good things come in pairs
East Palace, under Danchi of Chongjiao Hall.

Fang Yiai bowed her head and waited for Li Chengqian's summoning. She glanced at Dan Qian in front of her, thinking: "A magnificent stone carving, a magnificent palace, and a painting pavilion surrounded by carved beams and double phoenixes."

Just as Fang Yi and Ai Xian were muttering to themselves boredly, Xiao Huangmen, who was going to Tong Bing, hurried down the steps.

Xiao Huangmen took a few deep breaths, cupped his hands and said, "My son-in-law, right now the six ministers are performing official duties in the Chongjiao Hall, so my son-in-law has to wait."

"Okay." Fang Yiai nodded slightly, thinking: "Could it be that there is something important right now? Why are the six ministers gathered in the Chongjiao Hall?"

"My son-in-law, please go to the room?" Little Huangmen knew that Fang Yi's love was deeply rooted, and he didn't dare to neglect him, so he bowed his hand again.

"Eunuch Lao is leading the way."

Guided by the little yellow gate, Fang Yiai walked slowly into the duty room, but unexpectedly bumped into an old acquaintance there.

"uncle?"

Looking at Shen Nianxing, Fang Yi felt curious in his heart, "Isn't uncle discussing state affairs in the Chongjiao Hall?"

Shen Nianxing shook the paper fan lightly, and said with a smile: "There is nothing important in the Ministry of Rites, I will come out after the performance."

"My son-in-law, please use tea." Xiao Huangmen poured a cup of herbal tea, put it on the tea table at the side, and then slowly exited the duty room.

Seeing that there were only Shen Nianxing and herself in the guard room, Fang Yiai no longer tensed up, sat beside Shen Nianxing, and said with a smile: "Compared with soldiers, officials, criminals, and workers, the Ministry of Rites is still very relaxed."

Shen Nianxing took a sip of herbal tea, nodded and said: "Well, there is nothing important right now. Among the six departments, the Ministry of Rites is the most idle. My nephew has just left a household department, and they are now the busiest season."

"That's right, the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for the population survey, and this is a difficult matter." Fang Yiai took a sip of herbal tea, and seeing the white paper fan shaking slightly in Shen Nianxing's hand, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, "I forgot to bring the paper fan again!"

"Nephew, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival right now. The eldest princess is getting married, and you are very lucky." Because Shen Nianxing and Fang Yiai were quickly drawn closer because of the order to investigate the matter of taking concubines before, it is not unreasonable to say a few jokes at this moment. In reason.

"Hey, uncle, don't be joking. It's said that once you are a son-in-law, you will not be free for the rest of your life. My nephew is very depressed."

Shen Nianxing raised his hands and hummed softly, muttering: "Come on, you made great achievements in ambushing Ha Michi on Wuma Road earlier, and you also brewed distilled wine that can heal wounds. The two achievements are combined and wait for Long Live to return. thing."

"Zhan Shi?" Fang Yiai was taken aback, and started thinking quickly, and finally recalled the slightest memory about "Zhan Shi".

"Uncle thinks Zhan Shi is a good job?" Fang Yiai smiled wryly and shook her head, "It's difficult to deal with the princes!"

The Zhan Shi that Shen Nianxing refers to is the Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion, which is used to teach the prince to study. Fang Yiai couldn't help but feel dizzy when he thought of dealing with Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Zhi and others.

Shen Nianxing chuckled, and said mysteriously: "Nephew, your relationship with the prince is already known to everyone, why are you so secretive?"

"Relationship? What kind of relationship?" Fang Yi was terrified, and said in his heart, "How does this old man know?"

"Previously, the Guanlongmen faction and the Xiao clan joined forces to impeach you. His Highness the Crown Prince refuted their memorandum under pressure. Is there any reason to guess?"

"This." Fang Yiai faltered, and finally sighed: "Uncle has a unique vision, Fang Jun admires him."

"What is unique and not unique, this matter is known to all courts, and my nephew is also thinking about the future, it is human nature."

After chatting with Shen Nianxing for a while, following Yang Bo's arrival, Shen Nianxing got up to say goodbye, and the six ministers went to Zhongshu Province for dinner together.

After Shen Nianxing left, only Fang Yiai was left in Nuo Da's housekeeping. In the silence, he couldn't help thinking about the intentions of the eldest grandson and how to deal with it afterwards.

"The reason why Changsun Dan reminded me is because he couldn't bear the tragic death of the son of the Imperial College and Shizi, and secondly, it was out of consideration for maintaining the status of the eldest grandson's family."

"Thinking that this person is not what I thought he was, he is a man of madness and pride in his talents, and he is considered an outstanding man for a while."

"As for the person who proposed to set fire to Wufenglou to frame me, and who wrote nursery rhymes to frame my palace, who would it be? Now that Cai Shaobing has died in Jimo, who will be the brains behind Changsun Wuji?"

Before Fang Yiai's doubts were resolved, Tong Bing from Xiaohuangmen was ushered in, "My son-in-law, His Royal Highness announced."

"Okay, please lead the way." Fang Yiai drank a cup of herbal tea, got up and followed the little yellow gate through the huge East Palace, and finally stopped in front of Yichun Palace.

"His Royal Highness moved to Yichun Palace?" With doubts, Fang Yiai walked into the palace with her robes on, and saw Li Chengqian sitting at the tea table drinking tea alone, and there was also a teacup placed opposite him, obviously Prepared for Fang Yiai.

"My humble minister, Fang Jun, see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing Fang Yiai's courteous ceremony, Li Chengqian nodded with a smile, "That's all, brother-in-law, please sit down."

"Thank you for your seat."

After Fang Yiai took her seat, she saw Li Chengqian smiling all over her face, and she couldn't help asking curiously, "What's the happy event for His Royal Highness?"

"My brother-in-law, thanks to you!" Li Chengqian laughed, and said mysteriously: "Father got the distilled wine, the dragon's heart is very happy, and I specially gave Xiaowang a dragon coat."

"Ah?" After saying this, Fang Yiai was quite surprised. Although Li Chengqian did not lack dragon clothes, but now this one is a gift from Li Shimin, and its significance is extraordinary.

"There are still good things to do." Li Chengqian cleared his throat, and then said loudly: "Servant, go and bring up the watermelon that has been packed."

When Xiaohuangmen brought watermelon, Li Chengqian picked up a piece, and Fang Yiai also picked up a corner under his signal. The two sat silently, and after eating three slices of watermelon in a row, Li Chengqian opened his mouth slowly.

"Father ordered my brother-in-law to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. This is a third-rank official!" Li Chengqian put down the melon skin, cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Minister of the Ministry of War. Uncle's words are true."

Fang Yi murmured in his heart, and quickly got up to return the salute: "It's all Long Live's favor, promoted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Sister-in-law Yu earned it all by himself." Li Chengqian signaled Fang Yiai to sit down, and continued, "Why did my brother-in-law enter the palace today?"

Seeing Li Chengqian asked the question, Fang Yiai put down the skin of the melon, took out a handkerchief and wiped his palms, cupped his hands and said, "Fang Jun implores His Royal Highness to dispatch fifty powerful soldiers."

"Huh?" Li Chengqian's smiling face gradually faded away, he looked at Fang Yiai and frowned and said: "At the feet of the emperor, what use is the imperial brother-in-law to use?"

"To be honest, I have received reliable news that someone will set fire to Wufeng Tower in two days."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Chengqian got up suddenly, and said angrily: "Wufenglou is a royal restaurant, who is so bold?"

"I don't know, but I will know after two days." Fang Yiai stood up and told the truth, but omitted the matter of Changsun Dan's passing through the house.

"The virtue of wood is flourishing, and the virtue of fire is born? Wood produces fire? The Book of Changes?"

Li Chengqian muttered a few words, looked at Fang Yiai and said in bewilderment: "Brother Yu, is it possible to believe in Yishu divination?"

"This matter is a certainty, and the person who set the fire is the one who spread rumors in Chang'an." Fang Yiai gritted her teeth and said that she would lend troops.

Li Chengqian nodded suspiciously, held a cup of tea, and said softly: "In that case, brother-in-law Yu wants to transfer the soldiers there?"

"It's easy to say, as long as one soldier is enough."

"Who? Cheng Chubi? Hou Balin?"

"Xue Rengui!"

Li Chengqian tapped his forehead with two fingers, recalled it carefully for a long while, and then said: "Xue Rengui, brother-in-law Yu's sworn brother?"

"That's right, it's this person." Fang Yiai smiled awkwardly, although she guessed that Li Chengqian would investigate her, but hearing him talk about it with her own ears, she still felt a little embarrassed.

"It's rare for my brother-in-law to be an important person, and Xiao Wang agrees. Do you want to transfer him to the Criminal Department? Be a chief under my brother-in-law?"

Fang Yiai hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "That's unnecessary."

"Don't brother-in-law Yu have the heart to make friends with friends?" Li Chengqian asked very clearly, obviously trying to test Fang Yiai's heart.

Seeing Li Chengqian's sudden attack, Fang Yi couldn't stop smiling wryly in his heart, thinking to himself: "It's really like companionship with a king is like a sheep with a tiger!"

Thinking for a while, Fang Yiai had a flash of inspiration, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Fang Jun is the son-in-law of the two princesses Changle and Gaoyang. In theory, he should be the prince's subject. Even if he forms a party, he is in the same heart as the prince."

"Okay!" Li Chengqian laughed, stood up and said: "Xiao Wang will issue an order tomorrow morning to ask Xue Rengui to be the head of the Criminal Department to help Yu's brother-in-law."
