Sha Po Lang

Lv Shilang's back was covered with cold sweat, and his whole body was covered.

Fang Qin secretly sighed "something that can't be lifted", stepped forward and said slowly: "Your Majesty, please appease your anger first, but I feel that this matter may not be as serious as what Master Qingran said. Jiangbei is humid and hot, and summer is difficult. The refugees are weak and sick, so it is not uncommon to have a few fevers, which may not necessarily be a real epidemic. The emperor thought, if there are people who have the ability to cover the sky, why can others stop them, but why can't they stop Master Liaoran from sending a letter back to Beijing? ?”

Chang Geng listened without raising his head, and when he heard this sentence, he chuckled lightly and said, "Master Fang, I didn't understand what you said, but you mean that Master can't tell what is 'epidemic' and what is 'fever'." What about the disease? Or is it that the monk is so bold that he framed an important minister? Or is it that this king is just looking for trouble, and just forged some evidence to rule out dissidents?"

Fang Qin hurriedly took a step back: "Your Majesty has learned from you, I absolutely dare not."

As soon as Li Feng frowned, Chang Geng bowed his hands in a kind manner: "I am young and do nothing, and I am outspoken, Mr. Fang, don't take it to heart-Master Liaoran burns incense and prays for blessings on the [-]th day of every lunar month, and will hand-paint a safe talisman and put it in the kit bag. Sent to the minister, Xu Chen made some wishes for the prosperity of the country and the health of the emperor's brother. After the safety talisman is sealed, it is inconvenient to open it at will. The emperor also knows, but the few peace talismans received by the minister recently have been opened. I don't know who can't see this little private wish of my younger brother..."

Fang Qin was choked up by him.

Chang Geng took out an item from his bosom, it wasn't the letter that Gu Yun had seen the night before, but a handful of old paper slips that had been accumulated for an unknown amount of time, the fingertips were wide, and after being spliced ​​together, they were glued together again. Together, each piece of paper is a string of incomprehensible ink marks. However, when put side by side with the side notes, a complete word can be seen under the complicated patterns. Together they are: "The epidemic in Jiangbei is serious, the dead are everywhere, and the post roads are closed, so make early plans to go to the imperial court."

Chang Geng: "Split a line of characters into four pieces of paper, send them in a random order, and cover them with Sanskrit and totem textures."

Emperor Long'an could read the handwriting clearly.

Fang Qin was about to speak, but Chang Geng cut him off before he was about to say.

Chang Geng: "But as Lord Fang said, this item was not obtained through legitimate channels after all, and the authenticity is still doubtful, so I didn't report it immediately. I wanted to invite the emperor today, and asked the emperor to ask the emperor to go to Jiangbei to check the situation of the refugees so that they can settle down. By the way, you can also verify whether this matter is true, but Mr. Jiang was in a hurry, so he said so."

Jiang Chong hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The emperor forgives the crime."

As soon as this remark came out, the implication of King Yan made everyone present goosebumps on the spot, and Fang Qin's head became dizzy—Prince Yan was going south again!

"The law does not blame the crowd" is meaningless to King Yan. The feat of walking from south to north and killing all the way is still vivid in his memory. He doesn't seem to be afraid that no one will work in the court, and he doesn't care at all about making enemies. Qian, kill as soon as you say, no group or party, no one will give face - anyway, he is the emperor's younger brother, as long as he does not rebel, no one can touch him.

The Fang family once wanted to show their favor to King Yan, but every time he blocked them indifferently.

Those who want to give gifts to King Yan will send them the first day, and the next day they will be delivered to the door with a special anti-counterfeit beacon ticket printed by the Lingshu Academy. He is not good at money, and he is not good at beauty. When I came back, I really couldn't retreat, so I threw it into King Yan's Mansion and asked them to clean the courtyard - King Yan's Mansion was an empty shell, since it was built, King Yan didn't go back to spend the night.

In his eyes, the concubine daughter of the Fang family who everyone broke through the threshold is nothing. At the beginning, some people thought about the vacant concubine position of King Yan, and sharpened their heads and led the way to the harem. What kind of medicine, because even the queen had an outburst about this matter. The original words were "ignorant women should not stretch their hands to the front court"-it was simply to indulge this younger brother to die alone. For a while, no one dared to mention this matter.

Fang Qin saw the opportunity very quickly, changed his voice, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I heard that many villains are mixed among the refugees in Jiangbei, making troubles in the sky. The place is close to the front line, and there are foreigners watching. Chu can't leave the prince for a day, and Bai Longyu will be taken into that chaotic place, I'm afraid it's too risky."

Li Feng frowned, turned to Chang Geng and said, "Just ask someone to investigate, you have to do everything yourself, what do you mean?"

On the one hand, he admired Chang Geng's frivolous attitude that he would hold on to whatever he had a goal, and that the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu didn't take it seriously. He felt that this person could be used, but he wouldn't overdo it and make people feel insecure. In addition, Chang Geng is his only brother, even if the two grew up together when they were young, there is no relationship, at this time when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, Li Feng has no choice but to let him go An Fang's family affection falls on Chang Geng reluctantly.

However, while Emperor Long'an was relieved, he couldn't help but feel a little headache. King Yan is usually gentle and considerate to others and has no airs, but it's not like that when he handles things. No matter who committed the crime in his hands, he will deny all relatives.

Li Feng: "It goes without saying."

Chang Geng: "Brother Huang, there are many exiles in Jiangbei, and there are people in all directions. I don't know what the situation is. We didn't even take a look at it. We only talked about how to settle them in the court. Isn't it just talking on paper? Now that the princes Everyone has their own reasons, no one can come up with a charter, it is better for the younger brother to go and report to the emperor when he comes back."

The corners of Li Feng's eyes twitched, and at this moment, Gu Yun, who had always been a wallflower, suddenly came out slowly and said: "Since King Yan has this heart, the emperor might as well make it happen. If corrupt officials in Jiangbei run rampant, no one else will see you." If you are worried, the minister can escort you along the way, isn't it just a little bit of homelessness and banditry, don't take it seriously."

Chang Geng was taken aback, he didn't expect him to show up suddenly, this was not arranged.

Shen Yi sneaked a glance at Gu Yun, and Gu Yun glanced at him while lowering his head, he was really dishonest no matter how he looked at it, Shen Yi turned his face away as if he had a toothache, feeling that most of the adulterers in the script had this face.

Anyone who said these words seemed arrogant and unreliable, but just coming out of Gu Yun's mouth was extremely decisive.

Then Gu Yun thought for a while, and added a ready-made excuse: "The land in the south of the Yangtze River is going to be taken back, and I just want to check the situation on the front line. I wanted to submit a booklet to ask for an order these two days. It's a coincidence. , drop by His Royal Highness King Yan, and promise to bring you all the people back.”

As soon as Marquis An Ding stepped forward, there was no need to argue with anyone.

Li Feng decreed the next day that King Yan would be the official imperial envoy, and Xu Ling, the right deputy inspector of the Procuratorate, would be his deputy to thoroughly investigate the case of concealing the epidemic situation in Jiangbei. Marquis Anding would escort him along the way, and Ge Chen, a member of the Lingshu Academy, accompanied him to investigate Jiangnan and Xiyang. Army readiness.

Coming down from the court meeting, Fang Qin was actually very angry, but the city was too deep and it was not easy to show it in front of others, so he had to sit in the carriage with a gloomy expression. Standing as the leader of the Fang family, a well-known and respected family, he has achieved success both in the court and in the middle. Since he took over the household department, he has achieved outstanding achievements. Even the prickly Prince Yan in the military aircraft department is also kind when he sees him. He is praised by everyone before and after... But Li has to be with Lu Chang and other villains.

People say that "a gentleman is not a party", but people also say that the word "power" is inseparable. If there is no power, there is no power. If there is no power, how can there be power?

From the sage's door before going to the Tianzi Hall, it is naturally different from those who rely on their family background to donate officials to dawdle, who doesn't want to make contributions and leave a good story?If he wasn't surnamed Fang, he would have joined King Yan to tidy up this smoky dilapidated palace.

It's a pity that people can't choose their own origin. For the first 30 years, they are sheltered by the family, and they have what they want. In the next 30 years, they must devote themselves to the family and be imprisoned to death——

Suddenly, the carriage stopped abruptly, and the family members outside said in a low voice: "Master, Mr. Lu stopped the carriage and said there are a few words I would like to say to you."

Fang Qin's face turned cold, wishing that the surname Lu would die quickly, and sat for a while with a blank expression on his face, Fang Shangshu turned his face back to a pleasant look, opened the curtain of the car and reprimanded half-truly: "You dog slave, If you are sensible or not, please come up, what should you report?"

The servants in the family were used to taking the blame for their master, and they pretended to be fearful and fearful. They invited Lu Chang, who was full of lawsuits, into the car and drove to Lu Shilang's mansion.

Lu Chang was covered in cold sweat, and when he entered the door, he fell down and bowed: "Fang Shangshu save my life!"

Fang Qin sneered in his heart, but he helped him up with shock on his face, pretending to be stupid and asking in a daze: "Brother Yannian, what are you doing?"

Of course, Lu Chang also knew that the surnamed Fang was pretending to be garlic, but when things came to an end, he had to hold on tightly to find a savior. The local forces imprisoned all the "dissidents" who dared to eat inside and outside and refused to accept control, and sent people to blockade the post station, assassinated 18 scholars on the way to Beijing to sue the imperial court, pretended to be refugees and gangsters, and explained everything. Hearing Fang Qin's heart, liver and lungs fluttered, he gained a lot of insight.

Lu Chang cried and said: "Fang Shangshu, the lower official's concealment and refusal to report is not for his own relatives, but for our big plan. Think about it, the emperor rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and even sent out things that hurt the face of the ancestors like beacon tickets." Come out, if you know that Jiangbei has reached this stage, and the military plane is fanning the flames, maybe you will really obey the wishes of those lowly businessmen and ask them to set up factories!"

Fang Qin looked at Lu Shilang's snot-nosed and tear-filled virtue, and felt very tired, thinking: "Fart!"

On the face, he just sighed worriedly: "You are confused, Yannian, do you still remember that when Zhang Fenghan of the Lingshu Academy went crazy and wanted the emperor to lift the ban on folk Ziliujin, and was beaten back by Prince Yan? Have you forgotten what his surname is after mixing with those sour Confucians? His surname is Li, how can the Li family allow a group of private merchants to resell Ziliujin? King Yan didn't even want to make any fuss about those merchants, He clearly knew what Ling's brother-in-law was doing, and used this as a guide to attack us and take the opportunity to attack us."

Lu Shilang was speechless, so he could only cry, there was no color at all, and he looked so hideous in this way, regardless of Fang Qin's obstruction, he knelt down again, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "My lord, help me!" .”

Fang Qin didn't want to save his life, but wanted him to die earlier, so he shied away and said, "There is Lord Gu by King Yan's side, and Hou An Ding can transfer all the front-line garrisons of General Jiangbei Zhong with a word, can't he clean up a few government offices? ? Yannian, it’s not that I’m desperate for help, I’m beyond my reach!”

After finishing speaking, as if sadness came from it, he hid his face with his sleeves and sobbed dismally: "I think Yang Gong and I were in the same class in Kedenke, and we had the friendship of classmates, so happy to go outing in the green and lake together. Now we are officials in two places. He's in trouble, don't I want to save him?"

Lu Chang: "..."

It's really strange to come to ask for help, but make people cry instead. Fang Qin deserves to be the No. 1 of the ruthless Fang family.

Lu Chang gritted his teeth in his heart, and said sadly on his face: "Master Fang, if this matter gets involved, it will be a great crime to punish the nine clans. You and I have intersected for generations, breaking bones and tendons, you can't ignore it."

Fang Qin's cheek twitched violently, and Lu Chang's words hit his weakness.

Fang Qin has a half-sister who was born in the same house and was not favored. She grew up in her teens and didn't talk to her brothers much, but this Miss Fang played a big game when she was young-- Attempted to elope with someone.

In fact, rituals and music have collapsed for many years after the opening of shipping. If this matter were placed in a place on the east coast where the folk customs are open, it would not be a shocking event at all. It would be fine if there were a few comments from those idle women and idiots. Praise that this woman is quite courageous at such a young age-so many foreign women walk on the street with their backs exposed, and no one in the family has any objections.

But it happened to be the Fang family.

Since the Yuanhe period, a kind of ethos has gradually formed in the court. The more open the people's customs, the more conservative the aristocratic family's threshold. Face, I wanted to close it for a few years and send it to the monastery to become a monk, but at that time, the Lu family wanted to cling to it. Seeing this opportunity, I was secretly happy, and the flies rushed to it like dung. My cousin married Miss Fang.

There are a total of several prominent families in the capital, and they hire each other to marry each other, and everyone is somewhat related to everyone. It can be said that all prosperity and all loss.

Lu Chang's words were both a reminder and a threat.

Fang Qin stopped crying, straightened up slowly, looked at Lu Chang for a moment, and said in his heart: "A small servant dares to threaten me, this person cannot stay."

"Grand Lu please come up," Fang Qin pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "I still say the same thing, it's useless to ask anyone for this matter, if you want to make a turnaround, you have to start with His Royal Highness Yan Wang."

When Lu Chang heard it, he said it again, his face turned into a bitter gourd: "But then..."

Fang Qin put up a hand to stop his words, poured some water out of the teapot on the small table, and said in a low voice: "What kind of person is Prince Yan, the whole treasury passes by him, and he will like you. The filial piety of three melons and two dates? Besides, some men are very clean by nature and don’t want to get close to those idlers. , let alone King Yan?"

Lu Chang was stunned: "Then..."

Fang Qin dipped his tea and slowly wrote the words "Yellow Robe Plus Body" on the table, then gave the stunned Lu Chang a meaningful look, and reached out to erase the writing on the table.

Lu Chang was dumbfounded for a long time, and sat down beside him, his lips trembling a few times: "Master Fang, this is... this is..."

Fang Qin sneered and said, "But what? How are you going to do it? Just like killing those impoverished scholars who have no power to restrain the chickens, you intercept and kill Lord Yan halfway? You are the Marquis of Anding and don't say a word in the court meeting all day long." , Is it really a good-looking thing? Or do you really think that your brother-in-law can cover the sky on the front line of Jiangbei and let the imperial envoy return without success? If that is the case, how did the letter from the demon monk be sent to the military plane? Today, I don’t rub the sand in my eyes. Think back then when he turned his back on him, and even Marquis Anding said he would shut him down, do you really think he would have nostalgia for the Lu family—for people like us?"

After a stick of incense, Lu Chang dismounted from Fang Qin's carriage and entered Lu's mansion like a wandering soul.

Fang Qin told the coachman, "Go back to the house."

He lighted the incense in the car indifferently, as if he wanted to isolate Lu Chang's smell completely - some people should know that there is no common interest in the world, so you can manipulate others at will.

The carriage was full of green smoke, Fang Qin sat upright and closed his eyes to rest his mind, thinking: "If I can drag Yan Wang into the water by the way, it will kill two birds with one stone."

Even if that King Yan is really selfless, has no distracting thoughts, and doesn't even pay attention to Yuxi, then if he can't be defeated this time, he still has a killer in his hand.

King Yan's wrists are cruel, oil and salt do not enter, and he does not show his mountains and dews at the moment. He seems to be just a pure minister, but when he thinks about it carefully, Daliang has come to this step, and there is his shadow behind every step.

If such people cannot stand side by side, they will become formidable enemies, even if they are princes, they must...
