Chapter 168: Life is like a play

The woman, who couldn't hold on to spit it out, ran out, and didn't even have time to turn around and glare at Fang Jie. When she ran up, she still cared about pretending to be a man, and the grace of the little woman's posture was fully revealed. Fang Xie looked at her back and smiled: "There are probably few men, and their knees are bent inside when they run." ”

Hou Wenji sat down on the chair opposite him, looked at Fang Xie with interest and asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Fang Xie smiled and said, "Her father grabbed me in prison for no reason to disgust me, so I can't disgust her daughter?" ”

"How do you know?"

Hou Wenji asked.

Fang explained: "Isn't it hard to guess what the identity of the girl who can make the lady dress as a man follow her respectfully and respectfully?" The adult princes were all ordered to leave Beijing to go to their fiefdoms, so she could only be a member of the palace. The scope is so small, you can know it if you think about it. ”

Hou Wenji nodded and said, "You guessed correctly, but you don't have to offend someone who might save you." ”

"Really?"

Fang Xie shook his head and said, "I really can't think of why she wanted to save me. ”

"What if?"

Hou Wenji said.

"No in case."

Fang Xie shook his head: "Your Majesty is not a person who is easily influenced by others to make his own decisions, perhaps in order to give some face to the important ministers of the court, His Majesty will show his respect in trivial matters." But in matters of great matter, His Majesty will not easily change his judgment because of anyone's opinion. Especially...... Your Majesty's daughter. In the eyes of the father, no matter how old the child is, he is still a child, and the father will always feel that any opinion of his daughter is immature. ”

"Your words are disrespectful to Your Majesty."

Hou Wen said very seriously.

Fang Xie pursed his lips and said, "If I really disrespected Your Majesty, I would have stood at the door and scolded my mother a long time ago." Do you think it's comfortable to live in this place? If he were to be wrongfully imprisoned here and not have a chance to come out, I think he would rather anger His Majesty and be dragged out and beheaded than live in this dark and cold cage. ”

Hou Wenji said: "Fortunately, you are not a bloody person. ”

Fang Xie was dumbfounded.

Hou Wenji smiled: "Although you and I have met very few times, your understanding of me is shallow like a wave above the water." But I can tell you very seriously how well I know you, and you would be shocked if you knew. ”

Fang Xie opened his mouth and made a swallowing motion.

Hou Wen glanced at him suspiciously, and Fang Xie smiled: "I'm surprised." ”

"You're bored"

Hou Wen said helplessly.

Fang Xie spread his hands: "No matter who is locked up in such a place, even if the time is already chaotic, they will feel bored. If there were ant nests in the house, I could even count how many ants were coming out looking for food. If it were you, I think you would be more boring than I am. ”

Hou Wenji shook his head: "I will never be locked up here, this is the biggest difference between you and me." ”

"Then you're really inferior to me."

Fang Xie said seriously: "You at least lack a life experience than me. ”

"You don't seem to be worried about your life or death at all?"

Hou Wenji asked.

Fang explained: "How can you not be worried? Since you say you know me, then you must know how greedy I am and how afraid of death I am. You can interpret my current performance as a posturing, or as a hypocritical pride. ”

"You are greedy for life, but you are not necessarily afraid of death."

Hou Wenji looked at Fang Jie's eyes and said.

Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Now I start to believe that you really know me a little, even the people around me may not be able to say this." So...... I have to say that you scared me a little. ”

Hou Wenji said slightly proudly: "You should know my identity and status, which determines that I must be the kind of person who makes others feel scared, if I don't do it, it can only be said that I have failed." There are many people in this world who can be frightened by me, and there is only one person who may scare me. ”

"Your words are also a little disrespectful to Your Majesty."

Fang Xie said with a smile.

"Why?"

Fang Xie looked at Hou Wenji's eyes and said seriously: "You said that you can scare many people in this world, but only one person can scare you, then it must be Your Majesty, right?" ”

"Right"

"That's disrespect."

"Where is the disrespect?"

"You said Your Majesty is human."

Fang explained: "In my opinion, Your Majesty is not a human being. ”

As soon as these words came out, Hou Wenji's face suddenly became cold. For a moment, Fang Xie could even feel the killing intent irrepressibly overflowing in Hou Wenji's eyes. Fang Xie didn't doubt it at all, and in the next second, Hou Wenji's hand would grab his neck, lift his body high and smash it down. As a high-ranking and powerful person, Hou Wenji's anger was enough to scare many, many people once it was released.

Just when he was on the verge of exploding, Fang Xie continued in a serious and serious manner: "Your Majesty is a god in my eyes. My respect for His Majesty is as great as my respect for the gods, even more so than for the gods. The gods can change a person one thing, but I'm sure if His Majesty wills...... He can change the world. ”

Hou Wenji was stunned, and then said with some annoyance: "This is interesting? ”

Fang Xie smiled a little meaningfully: "Naturally, it's interesting...... You've made me unhappy by keeping me here, so I'm going to have to make you unhappy, even if it's just a moment. ”

"Before, you were disgusted to Her Royal Highness the Princess, because you said that you were wronged, so you felt disgusted. You make me unhappy because I make you unhappy, do you think there is any point in such a childish behavior that will be repaid but is as childish as a child? In addition to putting you in a more disadvantaged position. ”

"Naturally"

Fang Xie lay down on the stone bed, looked at the roof and said, "I have to find something to taste on such a boring day." Looking for a little pleasure in the unpleasant, although it is a little hypocritical, it is still cool. If I am going to die...... What else do I need to be afraid of? ”

……

……

Hou Wenji was silent for a while, looking at Fang Xie lying on the stone bed without saying a word. He suddenly remembered that the young man, who was now in the highest-ranking prison of the Ouchi Guards, was only sixteen years old as written on the official file. He hated Her Royal Highness the princess before, and then made himself unhappy...... Is it just the true temperament of a teenager?

Myself and many people, did I never treat Fang Xie as a teenager from beginning to end?

The expression on the young man's face was negative? Or is it something else that is being planned? As a soothing envoy, he is used to thinking deeply about everyone and everything. Today, he suddenly had a feeling that he thought too highly of Fang Jie, so much so that he even regarded him as an opponent for a while.

"You can rest assured, Your Majesty is just a little suspicious."

Hou Wenji said.

After saying this, he regretted it a little, because of his previous thinking, his heart was also a little relaxed, this sentence was not what he should have said.

But he soon regretted throwing it away, because he felt that if he said it directly, maybe he would be able to understand Fang Xie more clearly and see how he reacted. So he planned to simply give the boy a little hope and say more. But Hou Wenji didn't see anything immediately, because Fang Xie didn't seem to react at all when he heard his words, his eyes were still looking at the roof, motionless.

"Isn't that good news?"

Hou Wenji asked.

"It's not."

Fang Xie replied.

"Why not?"

"Maybe you think I should be happier or more at ease? But I really didn't think it was anything to be happy or reassuring about. You said Your Majesty was just suspicious...... However, don't you think that the most terrible and saddest thing in the world is to make His Majesty the Emperor doubt in his heart? When there is doubt in the heart, there will be follow-up things, and often these things are not happy and reassuring things. ”

Fang Xie turned his head sideways, looked at Hou Wenji and said, "Your Majesty suspects a person, does this person still have a chance to turn over?" ”

Hou Wenji was silent.

Then he determined his earliest judgment, Fang Xie is indeed just a teenager, and this teenager does still have the naivety and ignorance and naivety that belongs to this age, but he is far smarter than his peers, although in Hou Wenji's opinion, this intelligence is still a little superficial.

"Can you tell me what you regret the most?"

Hou Wenji asked.

Fang Xie was silent for a long time, then shook his head slightly and said, "Maybe because I'm a person who can think about most things, there really aren't too many things I can regret." Even if you know that you have done something wrong, you still rarely have this emotion afterwards. Regretting this kind of thing, what other use can there be than torturing yourself? I'm already in a situation where many people want to torture me, why should I torture myself? ”

"This is hypocritical, very fake."

Hou Wenji sighed.

"As I said, I have self-esteem, even if it's very hypocritical."

Fang Xie said solemnly: "I am in this dark place, and there is a world to think about what happened in the past. I can think about a lot of things I did wrong, but I can't regret them. To sum it up...... I desperately wanted to climb to the heights, to experience the feeling of being at the top. wants to break free from the shackles of his original destiny and become a master like Li Xiao, the great general during the Taizong period. But I underestimated the dangers of the climb and overestimated my own abilities. Nothing to regret...... It's me who is too stupid and naïve. ”

Hou Wenji shook his head: "Actually, you should understand that the reason why Your Majesty has not made a decision until now is because Your Majesty is still unsure...... The students in the Performing Arts Academy have now been told that you are in retreat in the back mountains, so they are still envious of your chances. His Majesty's attitude is to investigate carefully and carefully, and President Zhou's attitude cannot be easily qualified...... In fact, you can understand that this in itself is to give you a clean slate. ”

Fang Xie turned over and sat up, his face changing slightly.

"Really?"

"I don't like to lie to people."

Hou Wen said very seriously: "When I deceive people, I must be rewarded. A lie that has no return is as shameful as wasting food. ”

He stood up, and even stretched out his hand and patted Fang Xie on the shoulder: "Living here for a while may not be a good thing for you." If...... I mean if. You're really innocent, and you've finally come out of this prison. Then if you encounter such doubts in the future, those who doubt you will definitely remember that you have been wronged before...... Isn't that a good thing? ”

Fang Xie was silent for a while and said, "I'm really not in the mood to say thank you to you." ”

Hou Wenji laughed, turned around and walked out: "But I can tell you very seriously, you just offended a person who must not be offended." It is true that you said that Your Majesty will not easily change his judgment because of the opinions of others. But he was also a father...... When his most precious daughter is bullied, what do you think this father will do? ”

Fang Xie smiled bitterly: "Impulse is the devil. ”

Hou Wenji smiled happily, and then strode out of the prison.

It was a long time after his figure disappeared that Fang Xie seemed to break free from his shock and uneasiness. He lay down slowly, his back to the iron door. So naturally no one will see it, where is there any uneasiness and shock on his face? It's calm, it's incomprehensible.

Fang Jie, who was lying on the bed, carefully recalled the previous conversation, as well as his own reaction and the emotions on his face. He felt that his performance was okay, and there should be no flaws. Chatting with someone like Hou Wenji is never easy. Fang Xie has been waiting for such a conversation, and he is also waiting for such an opportunity. Fortunately, God seems to be really good to him, and even sent a stupid princess.

He could imagine that Her Royal Highness the princess would definitely sue her in front of His Majesty the Emperor when she returned to the palace. This is exactly what he wants, so he doesn't have the slightest worry or fear. If the emperor found out that he had disgusted the princess, he would be angry?

No!

Because this is a young man's humble and naïve unwillingness and rebellion in addition to grief and indignation, who will be unwilling and angry? Naturally a wronged person...... Fang Xie was using Her Royal Highness the princess to express his attitude to the emperor that he was wronged. It is obviously an idiotic thing to provoke a princess with childish means and boring language, but Your Majesty may not be angry. Idiotic tactics can sometimes work very well.

Then there is the dialogue with Hou Wenji, which is much more difficult than stimulating that stupid princess. You need more superb acting skills to hide your true thoughts.

Fang Xie allowed himself to show two diametrically opposed personalities, rebellious and naïve as a teenager, and wisdom and thought that surpassed his peers. Only in this way can Hou Wenji feel that he is a person who is not easy to deal with but can be dealt with. He reminded Hou Wenji that in the final analysis, he was still a young man, not a person with a deep city...... It is not easy to deceive someone like Hou Wenji.

At the very least, you have to be a good actor first.

Fang Xie thought about it for a long time, and after making sure that he didn't have any loopholes before, his heart settled down a little.

Life is originally a big drama, it depends on who can act and who can play better. Everyone is acting, and everyone is watching others act.

PS: There are very high-quality book reviews in the book review area, you can take a look, and I have also replied. Wait until you have time to tidy it up and post it in the work. Other than that...... Last night, my classmates got married, and our group of people didn't sleep all night, playing cards, and reminiscing about our youth...... I fell asleep in the morning and woke up in the afternoon, so I was late, sorry.
