Chapter 104: Night Talk (I)

Xingzhao was thinking about it, Empress Fang took a few sips of warm tea with a calm demeanor, put the tea cup on the table, and then raised her eyes to look at the little lady who was frowning and deep in thought, and couldn't help but smile - it was fun to watch the seven or eight-year-old white and pure little lady trying to pose like an adult.

After a while, the wind chimes of the glazed pagoda hanging in the corridor "jingle bells" rang endlessly. The bamboo curtain brushed the ground open, and a sturdy man and a tall and tall man walked into the hall with the night tide.

Xing Zhao hurriedly got up, hugged Brother Jing'er's robe, raised his face, blinked, and reached out to pick up Fang Qi's robe.

The little lady's dark eyes made Fang Qi feel good, and the haze was swept between her eyebrows, and she sat down at the bottom left while looking at Queen Fang with a smile: "Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, as soon as the sky falls, Pingxiguan will be too cold." At this time, there will be no drought in Pingxi Pass, or there will be overwhelming wind and sand in the morning and evening, so that people can't get out."

As he spoke, he handed the robe in his hand to Brother Jing, Nunu mouthed, and instructed him: "Go, hang the robe behind the door, your sister looks as small as a cat, and you are embarrassed to instruct her to do things." ”

was interrupted by Fang Qi, Xingzhao's heart was a little relieved, he lowered his eyes and smiled, so he moved a small stool and sat at the bottom of the head, but his eyes were always on Jing Ge'er's body, and it was only now that she found time to look at Jing Ge'er carefully.

Xingjing's complexion is not very good, no, it can't be called not very good. The juvenile is well-defined. A pair of eyes are very bright. The tips of the eyebrows are sharp. In the past, he had fair skin, and at first glance he was a boy and brother in a bird-walking costume in Dingjing City, but now his face is black and shiny, as if he has the vicissitudes of the northwest between his actions.

Maybe it was just when he heard the news of his mother's death, and the corners of the young man's mouth were tightly pursed, and he couldn't figure out whether it was more sad or resentful

As soon as Brother Jing sat down, the palace people in the main hall consciously came out. The little palace man who fell at the end lowered his eyes and closed the door with a "creak", and with this soft sound, Queen Fang sighed softly, and her tone was already helpless when she opened her mouth.

"What did the emperor say to his brother? The Fang family has been operating in the northwest for many years, but now it has made you directly subordinate to the central government."

Fang Qi smiled, his eyes moved to Xingzhao, who was sitting at the bottom of the well-behaved, how old was the little lady, and the queen didn't tell her to avoid it

I remembered the sentence "It's a good courtesy" in the happy hall, and the words were not long, but they brought some happiness and obscurity. I was suspicious. But he forced himself to press it, knowing in his heart that Ah Fu's debt could only be collected by them. The ins and outs are complicated and redundant, so let's take it slowly and go through it one by one.

"The emperor just withdrew me from Pingxi Pass to Dingjing, and did not transfer me to the former military governor or the Chinese military governor with a big hand, which is already the emperor's grace."

The corners of Fang Qi's mouth twitched, his expression was very disdainful, he looked at the window lattice with a few dots of light and a few dark shadows of the palace people, and did not say anything more.

Xingzhao suddenly understood that the foundation of the Fang family is in the northwest, and the military generals are no better than the civil officials, the civil officials talk about a reputation, and the military generals talk about not only strength, but also fame! Fame in the army is a gold medal for preserving oneself from death! There is no doubt about his uncle's reputation in the northwest, Fang Jiajun was brought out by his uncle from birth and death, and the die-hard guards around him were all dug out of pools of blood and piles of dead people.

If the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army is in charge of Sichuan and Shu Yungui, it is good to be in touch with the northwest, if a volume of holy decree will send the uncle to Yuhang, Fujian, if there is a deputy general who is close to the emperor, then the uncle is really completely empty!

The generals leave their lair and turn their backs on their guards, and nothing can be done!

Uncle returned triumphantly, taboo to cover the master, the emperor acted like this has already fulfilled a good story of loyal ministers and Ming Jun!

"It's good that Brother Huan still has the name of the commander of the Hezhong Mansion."

It's good that the Fang family still occupies this piece of land that has been operated for generations!

Empress Fang muttered, didn't say the words behind her, and changed her words: "Liang Pinggong won the battle several times and defeated the Tatars, but the emperor made you the Marquis of Pingxi" smiled, with some mockery: "I really want to immediately ride on the horse and go to the northwest to take a look at Liang Pinggong's angry appearance." ”

At the mention of Liang Pinggong, Fang Qi's originally stretched expression gradually converged, his eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice: "He? If it weren't for him, how could the Tatars be able to break through the Pingxi Pass this time! ”

Xingzhao was startled, turned his head to look at Queen Fang, and something flashed through his mind, but it was so fast that people couldn't catch it.

"He is also a character, he is bold, he can only take office a few years ago, so he dares to be more serious with Lao Tzu in front of the three guards, and Lao Tzu ignores him. He wanted to check the accounts, Lao Tzu sent the first dozens of annual accounts to him, and the accounts of the past ten years were deducted, and he also asked people to bring him a message to "the accounts in front have not been checked, and the current accounts cannot be checked, so I sent the Buddha to the west, and I simply checked them together and looked at the accounts of the past few years, and Liang Dudu also figured it out." Fang Qi sank down and said eloquently, "I am a general holding soldiers and horses, he is the governor of the northwest, and his grade is almost the same, but he is justified in managing the accounts, but Lao Tzu is not convinced, Lao Tzu Fang's family has been running the northwest for decades, a loyal martyr, there are more people who fall down vertically on the battlefield than those who are breathing horizontally on the bed, and they are loyal to the court, why should the emperor send people over to stir up the northwest again, why does an outsider dare to slap the table and call Lao Tzu!" ”

He Yan said that Brother Jing is like Fang Qi, if he is really right, he is really like a man with a strong temperament and temperament.

Xingzhao lowered his head, little by little he pulled the Fang Shu embroidery and Tilian handkerchief, and then looked at the folds on the handkerchief one by one, where did the disaster come from? From the emperor's vacillation and the Fang family's dissatisfaction, the Fang family regarded the northwest as something in the bag, and others couldn't touch it. I'm loyal, but I'm only loyal to the person sitting on the dragon chair, you Liang Pinggong are just here to run errands, why do you want to get a piece of the pie from my pocket?

Empress Fang listened very seriously, and the emperor sent people to the northwest to replace the original governor and garrison, which caused a period of internal strife and estrangement in the northwest, which was due to the emperor's selfishness and suspicion. But there is also the reason why the Liang family and the Gu family are blowing the wind next to the emperor's ear.

Otherwise, why would Liang Pinggong be sent to be the governor. Empress Dowager Gu's nephew went to be a guard?

The imperial mind lies in checks and balances. This is understandable, but the Fang family has been divided into An'an in the northwest for decades, if there are two hearts in their hearts, they will have been exposed a long time ago, do they still need to marry their two daughters to Dingjing to show their loyalty?

The trace of pain in Empress Fang's eyes was fleeting, she nodded lightly, and said peacefully: "Even if my brother doesn't look down on Liang Pinggong, it is impossible to ignore the overall situation." I know that infighting affects the situation of the war. ”

Fang Qi was greatly relieved, and said: "The Tatar night attack was sudden, and there should be nearly a thousand soldiers stationed on the city wall from Japan, but there were only more than 100 people on the city wall that night, and about 10,000 people came to attack, with eagle eyes, ladders, and gunpowder. I'll look it down later. It was Liang Pinggong's shift that day, and it was also when he communicated with Tartar in Shangkou. The method of making gunpowder, eagle eye, and ladder was sold to Tatar merchants for thousands of dollars. ”

Empress Fang was furious, dumbfounded, and said after a while: "Liang Pinggong was blinded by Qian Chuanzi!" ”

Fang Qi chuckled, leaned his back comfortably on the back of the chair, and added, "Not only that, but he also withheld the money and food that the emperor ordered him to bring with him. When the war broke out, it was Lao Tzu who held a knife to his neck, and he took out the things tremblingly. ”

"You are out of the customs, Liang Pinggong fought bravely against the Tatars, which shows that he has no intention of treason and defection to the enemy," Xing Zhao interjected dumbfounded, "His activities are completely just for money, people die for money, and birds die for food, Liang Pinggong's bet is a little too big!" ”

Empress Fang sneered: "He thought that even if it was sold, Tatar would only be a brute force stupid and dull nation, and he would not be able to do great things, let alone shake the foundation of the Great Zhou." As for withholding money and food, it's just to give my brother a riposte and dismount! ”

This is the henchman sent by the emperor, who is suspicious of loyalty and goodness, but relies on scoundrels!

The matter has come to this, so the emperor will order the veteran Qin Boling to go out and take the soldiers and horses to the northwest to divide power, think about it carefully, this seems to be the most appropriate way, I am afraid that immediately recalling Liang Pinggong will cause his rebellion, and when he holds a heavy army, he will be caught off guard by the water. Let Fang Qi go to the northwest again, and he is afraid that Fang Qi will fall into personal grievances, which will be detrimental to Da Zhou. Only Qin Boling, who stayed out of the matter, led the troops to check and balance, which could not only crush Liang Pinggong to death, but also not cause a big shock in the northwest

Brother Jing sat up straight and answered his words expressionlessly.

"After Jiang Qianhu and I fought with my uncle, there were only about 1,000 people left in my uncle's 3,000 men at that time, and we drank mountain springs and ate raw meat in the old forests in the northwest, and we didn't dare to make a fire, for fear of attracting the attention of the Tatars, and we couldn't go back from Pingxi Pass and the Sichuan-Shu border."

"When I came out with the soldiers and horses, I was going to cut off the heads of the Tatars, and I couldn't return in vain This was my idea at the time, because I was angry with the emperor, and I felt that I had broken the face of the Fang family by going back like this" Fang Qi said later, falling lower and lower, and finally Zheng Zheng Tiehan's eyes were empty, and he looked straight at Xingzhao like nephrite, and there was more regret in his tone that he had never noticed: "At that time, I was holding Liang Pinggong's account book in my hand, and I could bring a thousand people back to leave him off the horse, but it was just to fight for such a breath, Even my sister's life is involved, if I come back earlier, there will be no rumors in Dingjing City that I am treasonous, the emperor will not send troops to surround the Fang family's old house, and the He family will also be afraid of the Fang family If I come back earlier, if I don't fight for that breath"

Xingjing's spine became straighter and straighter, and the young man's face was solemn and expressionless, but his eyes were slightly red.

Mistakes, heaven and earth, the difference in the dark, her negligence and carelessness, and her mother's personality caused this inescapable doom

The house fell into a suffocating dullness and silence, Xingzhao looked up at the sheep's horn palace lamp hanging over her head, it was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes, and the people were gone, and they were sad. (To be continued......)
