Fang Zi'an's eyebrows twisted into a pimple, and he said in a deep voice for a while: "As a disciple, how can you stand up when your teacher is in trouble?" Even if there is the slightest possibility, you should try your best to save it. If I do nothing, I am afraid that I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. The grace of the teacher's three-year teaching, and the act of protecting Zi'an, if Zi'an abandons it, isn't it...... Isn't it in vain? ”

Zhao Gongzi slapped his face when he heard this, and laughed: "As I expected, Brother Zi'an is not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous person, this ...... I knew you would answer that. It seems that I see people correctly, and I haven't lost my eyes. Hahaha. Brother Zi'an, if you insist on saving it, there is no way. ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly said: "Brother Zhao, I would like to hear about it." ”

Zhao Gongzi said in a deep voice: "First, he wants to retract his confession, refuses to admit the conspiracy to assassinate, and grits his teeth and denies it." If a confession is not obtained at the time of the second trial, the case cannot be concluded. Of course, you have to endure the punishment in court. The presiding judge of this case is Wei Liangchen, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Qin Hui is a private person, if he retracts his confession, he will be punished. However, I will not let him come nonsense, I will ask my friends to pay attention to this matter, so that he will not dare to be too presumptuous and hurt the life of the respected teacher. This is the first and most important step. If you can't retract your previous confession, you won't say anything. If you can't get a confession, you may still have to be convicted in the end, but it will definitely not be a sentence of beheading. It's not the same time now, and it's impossible to do something that doesn't have to be. ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly said: "In this case, can you ask Brother Zhao to ask your friend to meet my teacher, inform him of this matter, and let him retract his confession in the second trial?" ”

Zhao Gongzi smiled and said, "Brother Fang has not been in contact with the affairs of the imperial court, so he doesn't know what is going on here. Who's going to help you with this kind of thing? Instigating a person to retract his confession? Are you kidding? No one will preach this for you. And judging from the performance of the first trial, your teacher only wants to die quickly, and has no idea of surviving, so how can people persuade him? ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

"It's best for his family and friends to persuade him. Maybe you can give it a try. I can ask my friend to arrange a visit for you so that you can talk to your teacher in person. Of course, the risk of doing this is that as soon as you show up, Qin Hui and they will know you, and this matter has nothing to do with you, but being known by Qin Hui and them may be very detrimental to you in the future. You are going to be admitted to the imperial examination and become an official, which will affect your future. Of course, on the surface, they won't do anything, and this matter will not affect you. But secretly they may be bad and play shady tricks. You've got to think about it. Zhao Gongzi looked at Fang Zi'an with blazing eyes.

Fang Zi'an thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to persuade, even if there is a risk, I must do my best, and I can't choose to retreat because I am afraid of this risk." And I'll try to be as careful as possible. ”

Zhao Gongzi nodded and said, "Since you are willing to take this risk, I have nothing to say." But I must tell you, in case you can't persuade Zhou Junzheng, things will be irreparable. Unless the parent ...... This one...... Today, the emperor will not kill. Then Qin Hui had no choice. However, it is unlikely that the emperor will do this. I have friends who can speak in front of the emperor, but they may not be able to persuade the emperor. This is a later story, and we will see the specific situation when the time comes. In short, it is the most effective way to persuade your husband to retract his confession. ”

Fang Zi'an was a little stunned, this Zhao Gongzi had such a powerful connection, which surprised him. Even the emperor has his friends in front of him who can speak? Isn't it because the friends he made were of a very high status in the DPRK? This Zhao Gongzi is not very old, not a few years older than himself, how could he make friends with such a high status? Although I don't think his temperament is like an ordinary person, I didn't expect his energy to be so great, which is incredible. Fang Zi'an almost thought he was bragging.

"I asked Brother Zhao to arrange a visit, and Zi'an went to persuade Mr. Fang Zi'an didn't think much about it, and said categorically in a deep voice.

Zhao Gongzi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, if you are not afraid, I will help you arrange it." Brother Zi'an has courage and affection, and Zhao admires him very much. Then it is decided, just in the next few days, after the arrangement is made, I ask Xiqing to send someone to inform you. For the rest, it's fine. ”

Fang Zi'an stood up and saluted respectfully: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your help, thank you Miss Qin for your help." Regardless of success or not, Zi'an is grateful and will want to reciprocate. In this way, Zi'an didn't bother, and Zi'an took his leave. ”

Zhao Gongzi smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll leave as soon as I sit down, Brother Zi'an is good to go." ”

Fang Zi'an nodded, and saluted Qin Xiqing again, but Qin Xiqing only returned the salute lightly and did not say much.

……

Fang Zi'an went out to leave, and Zhao Gongzi took the teacup and drank tea slowly, looked at Qin Xiqing and said, "What's wrong with Xiqing today?" It doesn't seem to be in a good mood. ”

Qin Xiqing hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's bothering the prince." Does the prince really want to get involved in this matter? ”

Then Zhao Gongzi smiled: "Didn't you ask me to help him?" How can you say such things now? ”

Qin Xiqing said softly: "Is Xiqing not thinking about it, please get involved in this matter, if you don't get it, you will be burned." Xiqing seemed to be a little confused. ”

Zhao Gongzi shook his head and said: "That's not afraid, I'm acting in the dark, and I don't stand up and speak publicly, the old thief doesn't dare to do anything to me." Moreover, I must also have an attitude, if I don't show a posture, many people in the DPRK and China will not be even more afraid of the power of the old thief, and will not dare to resist in the slightest. I want them to know that there are people who dare to go against the old thief, and not the people who are all old thieves, so that they will feel that they are not alone, and it is good for the overall situation. We need time now, we need the strength we have cultivated ourselves to enter the court through the imperial examination, so we need to delay time. If the court is full of old thieves' henchmen and has become a monolith, then it will be a big deal. ”

Qin Xiqing nodded slowly and said, "The prince is thinking about it very much. Like Fang Zi'an, a group of people like them were admitted to the imperial examination, and after they became officials in the court, the situation would be much better. Rather than winning over the DPRK and Chinese officials, it is better to start anew, and speaking of it is next spring, as soon as the spring is over, we will see the difference. At that time, the prince will have someone available. ”

Zhao Gongzi said with a smile: "It's not so fast, even if the new branch jinshi enters the court as an official, he doesn't have much right to speak, and it will take time to have strength." But you are right, at least there are people available in the DPRK and China, and the new section officials also have the right to say things, even if they can't change the pattern, but the voice of opposition to the old thief will be of great benefit to the situation. Especially for people like Fang Zi'an, if they can successfully enter the imperial examination, they will be my right-hand man. I can see that this person is not only outstanding in literature, but also quite insightful. I heard that his martial arts are not bad, and he will be of great use in the future. ”

Qin Xiqing said: "Does the prince value him so much? Xiqing thinks that he is average, maybe only a little better than others. ”

Zhao Gongzi was surprised: "Xiqing, what's wrong?" You didn't say that before, trying your best to promote Fang Zi'an to me, how could you say such things now? ”

Qin Xiqing blushed and said, "That's ...... It was Xiqing's unknown acquaintance at the time. Impressed by his talents. ”

Zhao Gongzi frowned and said, "No, did Fang Zi'an offend you?" Or is there something going on between you? Makes you unhappy with him? I felt that something was wrong, what was wrong? ”

Qin Xiqing said: "It's nothing, don't think about it." ”

Zhao Gongzi sighed: "Xiqing, this king doesn't want to think about it, but you are too obvious." Xiqing, do you like him? If you really like him, this king can make your decisions and say yes. ”

Qin Xiqing was stunned: "What did the prince say? How could Xiqing like him? Is he worthy? If Xiqing wants to get married, she only needs to snap her fingers, and she doesn't know how many people will break their heads. ”

Zhao Gongzi smiled: "I believe this, but none of the people who come are your favorite people, no matter how much it is, it is useless." Xiqing, this king still understands you, unless you have a crush on someone, you will not settle. Otherwise, how could you have refused even this king in the first place? ”

Qin Xiqing blushed and said: "Don't say such things, Xiqing regards the prince as a brother, how dare he think of anything wrong." Besides, Xiqing's identity must not have any personal relationship with the prince, and the prince's reputation is important, otherwise he will be attacked. It's not good for big things. ”

Zhao Gongzi waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, this king knows these truths." You don't need to smite this king with these words. This king knows that you will not, and certainly will not force you. Besides, this king doesn't have that kind of mind anymore, so you don't have to worry about that. The beauty of the country can only get one of them. Even someone like Tang Minghuang can't have both, let alone me. ”

Qin Xiqing said softly: "The prince is wise, and the prince will be the lord of the Holy Ming in the future." ”

Zhao Gongzi smiled: "I hope so." Anyway, that Fang Zi'an is really good, if he successfully passes the imperial examination, I can be a matchmaker for you. If you like him, don't hide it, or you will hate him in the future. ”

Qin Xiqing said coldly: "Don't say it, Lord Wang, I don't have any other thoughts about this person." This man did not take me seriously at all, and was extremely contemptuous of me, and slandered me. If he didn't think he was a usable person, Xiqing would not be polite to him. ”

Zhao Gongzi was even more surprised, Qin Xiqing was annoyed, and he didn't hide it, and immediately told Zhao Gongzi what Fang Zi'an said before, and finally said: "This person insults me like this, I don't care about him It's already magnanimous, if it weren't for the fact that the prince valued him, I wouldn't have had a break with him." Xiqing has never suffered such humiliation. ”

Zhao Gongzi frowned and said: "Indeed, how can this Fang Zi'an say such a thing, isn't this an insult to his face?" It stands to reason that he shouldn't have said such a bastard. It's straightforward, but you can't talk like that. ”

Qin Xiqing hated and was silent, and Zhao Gongzi suddenly said: "I understand, it must be so." Hahaha, Xiqing, I know why he said something like that. ”

Qin Xiqing was surprised: "What does the prince know?" ”
