fake prince

Chapter 779 Martial Arts Tournament
After saying this, he didn't hear Dai Wang pick up his words, Fang Zhen glanced at Dai Wang again, and found that Dai Wang's expression was calm, obviously he didn't believe what he said.

Fang Zhen sighed again, but didn't say anything more, but directly expressed his thoughts: "My lord, I invite you here this time because of Qingyuan Temple."

"Qingyuan Temple?" Su Ziji was taken aback, he had thought a lot, but he didn't expect that for this matter, he looked at him and thought about it in his heart.

Fang Zhen ignored it, and continued: "After the big demon hid in the capital, all the monks of Qingyuan Temple were arrested and sent to the prison. It is said that the torture was very severe, and many monks could not stand the punishment and were beaten to death. "

Although Su Ziji had never heard of this matter, he did not find it strange when he heard it at this moment, and thought to himself: "This is the emperor's intention to reduce the power and prestige of the King of Qi, but he just took the monk of Qingyuan Temple first."

Don't talk about this world, just talk about the world in the previous life, there have been similar things.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, Lan Yu was originally the henchman of the prince. Once the prince died, Lan Yu ransacked his family and wiped out his family. Now, to reduce the power and prestige of King Qi, it is inevitable to kill Qingyuan Temple.

It is said that when the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses, and no one would stop such bloodshed, but no one would control the sacrifice of a Qingyuan Temple.

Fang Zhen asked himself not to interfere in this matter, how could he agree to what he couldn't do?

Su Ziji thought about this, and shook his head: "You want me to save them? I can't control this matter."

Young Master Fang smiled wryly, and said: "That's all. I don't have the guts to ask you to stop this. It's just that my friend from back then, Mr. Lin Guo, is dead, and Bianxuan's life and death are unpredictable. If there is a chance, just save this person." .”

Only save Bianxuan?

Thinking of the elegant and handsome monk, Su Ziji not only fell into deep thought.

To save, or not to save?

Rescuing all the monks in Qingyuan Temple, he really couldn't agree to it, it was directly destroying the emperor's plan and putting himself in danger, but if he only saved Bianxuan, it's not impossible to try.

Even if it fails, as long as you prepare properly, you won't implicate yourself.

In case of being involved, the emperor will not be furious.

This is a natural tacit understanding in the officialdom, even between the monarch and his ministers.

Su Ziji had no ill feeling towards Bianxuan, and even regretted that the relationship between the two was impure. Behind Bianxuan, there were also forces standing behind him. In a Taoist sect like Su Ziji and Yin Guanpai whose foundation is to eliminate demons, it is bound to be In the case of a deadly enemy, it is not impossible to take the opportunity to save Bianxuan and owe myself a big favor.

Even if he really wins the throne in the future, is he really going to destroy the Taoist sect?The emperor couldn't kill them all, not because it couldn't be done, but because it was a bad policy.

"Keep Bianxuan, it may be useful in the future."

Thinking of this, Su Ziji decided to agree to Fang Zhen: "One thing to say, you and I are friends. Let me tell the truth, it is impossible to save Qingyuan Temple."

The way of governing at level 15 has deeply made him understand what politics is.

"You also know that the most taboo thing for a superior is the fundamental intention of a courtier to interfere with him."

"It can also be said that the strategic line, no matter who commits the crime, cannot be tolerated."

"But it's fine just to argue."

Then he smiled again: "However, I didn't help in vain. I received the letter this time, even if I have something to ask for your help."

"Please speak on behalf of the king." Fang Zhen was a little surprised.

"I want to hold a martial arts competition in Habayashiwei, but the competition in the army is just a cover, and outsiders can also participate. I want to recruit some martial arts instructors. You are well connected and inform those masters."

What is the king doing?Openly win over people from the rivers and lakes?Aren't you afraid of attracting the emperor's fear and dissatisfaction?
Among the rich and powerful in the capital, there is no one who knows the situation of this acting king better than Master Fang. It seems that the scenery is boundless, but in fact every step is dangerous. Once a wrong step is taken, all previous efforts may be wasted and all efforts will be in vain.

Dai Wang is not such a careless person, why did he suddenly change his style of acting and become ostentatious?
Seeing Young Master Fang's surprise, Su Ziji knew that the news of the assassins entering the palace on behalf of the prince had not been spread yet.

Su Ziji said casually: "Today, our residence was assassinated."

He said it lightly, but Fang Zhen was taken aback.

If it weren't for lying on the bed and not being able to move rashly, he would have performed to Dai Wang what it means to be as dumb as a wooden chicken.

What a terrible thing it is to encounter an assassination in the palace?
This is the capital, and you are the palace!
It is appalling that assassins entered the dignified capital's mansion, how could it be so lightly understated?
Especially since the capital had just experienced the hideout of the great demon, the assassin entered the palace on behalf of the prince, and if it was connected with the matter of the great demon, the person on the dragon chair might not be able to sleep.

"You think too much, this assassin, or someone you and I know." Su Ziji signaled Fang Zhen to be calm, smiled, and explained the matter.

When talking about the dead, although his tone was calm, Fang Zhen could still feel a sense of awe.

That's right, if I had encountered such a direct slap in the face, it would be hard not to be angry.

"It's King Qi, why is he so... rude?" Fang Xiaohou finally understood what Dai Wang meant, it meant that Dai Wang's mansion was going to be filled with guards.

"It's okay, then I'll help you find some Jianghu people? Lobby them to participate?" Fang Zhen said hesitantly, and suddenly his heart moved.

Dai Wang put on a look of complete trust, and smiled: "Then I will trouble you."

He asked again: "What do you lack here? If necessary, I can help you find it."

It seems that Dai Wang really did not believe that he was not treated harshly by the mansion. Fang Zhen didn't explain this time, but shook his head directly and said: "I don't lack anything here, if I really need anything, I will ask the prince for help."

"That's good. You continue to rest. I'll go back first. If you have other things, send me a message as soon as possible."

After speaking, preventing Fang Zhen from getting up, Su Ziji strode out directly.

When he got outside, he didn't even look at the housekeeper of the Marquis of Huaifeng's mansion, and directly said to Luo Jiang and the few mansion soldiers he brought with him, "Let's go back."

Luo Jiang followed, and several government soldiers followed behind, showing a protective posture.

Seeing this, the housekeeper of the Marquis of Huaifeng couldn't tell what attitude the acting king had when he saw the eldest son, so he could only escort him out carefully.

In the bedroom filled with the smell of medicine, Young Master Fang leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the door in a daze.

It wasn't until someone came in that he came back to his senses and asked, "The king is gone?"

"Already left by car."

The young servant replied, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Fang Zhen, "My lord, this is the information I just received. There was a bloody case on behalf of the palace, and someone has already sent it to the Imperial City Division."

Fang Zhen had heard Dai Wang talk about Dai Wang's mansion just now, and now he carefully read the information received by his subordinates, and couldn't help sighing: "Qi Wang is too tyrannical, and he took revenge on the day he conferred the king's congratulations. Who are you going to slap?"

Putting the information aside, thinking of Dai Wang's previous proposal, he sighed again: "No wonder Dai Wang wants to enrich the guards."

That's all for others. What would the emperor think when he heard the news?
