Chapter 0218: Execution Ground (10)
Fang Jue dragged his tired body and walked in the streets and alleys, today there is a rebellious remnant party robbery execution ground, martial law has begun on the street, the forbidden army of the imperial city, and the people of the city patrol division have begun to get busy, even if the snow is getting lighter and smaller, there are not many pedestrians on the street.
Fang Jue's body was covered in blood, as if he had just crawled out of the pile of dead people, but fortunately, he was wearing a general's uniform, and the officials on patrol were just stunned, and they didn't dare to come forward to ask. Passers-by avoided it and had long since hid far away.
The palace was not far from the noon gate, but Fang Jue still walked for an hour. When Fang Jue appeared at the gate of the palace, the guards at the door were also taken aback, is this still the uncle of the palace?
In the morning, he still looked like a general, why is he so embarrassed at the moment. However, they didn't dare to speak, they still saluted respectfully, and waited for Fang Jue to enter the palace before they dared to cautiously exchange their heads.
The Summer Palace is not calm at the moment, and the shouting and killing in front of the noon gate can still be heard from afar in the palace. The maid was pacing back and forth in the corridor in front of the door, and she realized that the reason why her young master was wearing armor in the morning turned out to be dangerous.
The county lord Qiao Xiaoyue had already guessed, and she was also a little worried at the moment, whether something would really happen, she guessed that someone might kidnap the prisoner, after all, Fang Jue was going to execute so many Celestial Empire officials today, and some of them were still high-ranking officials.
It is also very common for high-ranking officials or wealthy officials of the Celestial Empire to have a lot of dead soldiers at home, if they want to rob prisoners, it will also be a tricky matter for Fang Jue, but she didn't expect that the truth is far more complicated and dangerous than she thought.
Qiao Xiaoyue didn't have the heart to play the piano and paint, he stared blankly at a winter plum branch in the yard that was almost falling apart by the snow.
As soon as Fang Jue walked into the courtyard, he couldn't wait to untie the armor that bound him so much that he was about to breathe, he threw it casually, and the armor fell on the snow, and the blood stains on it also splashed.
Fang Jue's appearance, the first thing to be discovered was Hongshan.
"County Lord, it's... It's my uncle who is back. ”
Hongshan was also a little shocked when she saw Fang Jue covered in blood, and the moment Fang Jue took off her armor, the dull voice made Li'er also discover Fang Jue's return.
"Young Master..."
Fang Jue took off his armor, didn't take a few steps, suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and then fell down, falling on the snow, he was too tired, his eyes blinked, watching Li'er run over, Xiao Yue ran over, and finally even Qiao Xiaoyue and Hongshan ran over.
"Fang Jue..."
"Uncle..."
"Young Master..."
Of course, Fang Jue knew that his injury was not serious, but he felt very tired, and he had overdrawn too much today, so he really wanted to sleep for a while at the moment.
Fang Jue's sleep lasted for two days, and in just two days, a lot of changes have taken place in the court of the Celestial Empire, a number of civil officials died last time, and a batch of military attachés died, and in just two days, a group of new officials were replaced in various positions in the Celestial Empire.
The Turkic princess, who was still in the palace and refused to leave, couldn't help but be a little surprised when she didn't see the situation she wanted to see. She thought that the Celestial Empire had lost a number of officials and would fall into a situation that would shake the country's foundation, but the situation she found made her feel different.
The officials who were framed before have returned to the court at this moment, and those real undercover agents have died in the cells of the Celestial Empire. And those newly recruited officials can also quickly get started with their own work, as if they have been arranged a long time ago.
There was no major shock in the Celestial Empire, but it was easier to defend and difficult to attack, and those officials who were reinstated by the officials, when they were in the midst of their own life and death, none of the officials who had a good relationship on weekdays were willing to help them, and they couldn't help but feel a little chilled, and the so-called unity of colleagues was just a ridiculous sentence. They are more precious
Sorry for the great disaster and not dying, and grateful to the emperor Ye Yunlong for his wisdom, most of the newly recruited officials were personally selected by the prince, so they were grateful to the prince, and formed a third force in the court in addition to the two forces of Prime Minister Wang Si and Luoyang King Ye Yunchang, and the new power of the prince is completely better than the sum of the other two forces.
This kind of situation is what Emperor Ye Yunlong wants, he doesn't want to be constrained by his subordinates all the time, he wants to start holding all his strength in his own hands.
And the biggest hero who can do this is Fang Jue who is still lying on the bed, it is Fang Jue who discovered that the Turks may have a conspiracy, so that the prince and the emperor can deal with it more calmly. However, the process and ending of the facts still surprised Fang Jue, the leader.
In the imperial study, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, looking at his somewhat fat son in front of him, he was a little dissatisfied, Wen could not govern the country, and Wu could not govern the army, but it was a pity that he only had such a son, even so, he could only teach patiently. Fortunately, as a future king, there are many things that you don't need to do by yourself. However, the emperor wants to pave a smooth road to kingship for his son during his lifetime.
"Fang Jue is decisive and decisive, and his martial arts are popular, and Erchen thinks that he can serve as the commander of the forbidden army."
This is Ye Hongyin's evaluation of Fang Jue, and the commander of the forbidden army is that Ye Hongyin feels a little sorry for Fang Jue, which can be regarded as a gift owed by Fang Jue.
The emperor listened to his son's evaluation of a courtier like this, and he sighed, if his son had such a civil and military talent, it would be great.
"The prince has said it, although this person is brave and scheming, but he does his own thing, I can listen to people's reports, Fang Jue has the intention of retiring the county lord, and he is not innocent with the daughter of a criminal minister."
The emperor clearly didn't want to hand over such an important position to a person who had disobeyed him, so he found a reason for Fang Jue's misconduct.
Fang Jue is the husband of the lord of the Celestial Empire, so naturally he can't have three wives and four concubines, and no matter how important the position of the commander of the forbidden army of the Celestial Empire is, it can't be handed over to a person with a loss of virtue.
"Just give him a deputy commander, just with that Chu Liuyun to contain each other, any talented courtier, you can't take it lightly, ability is a double-edged knife, the more capable a person, if it is not well controlled, it will cause more damage to yourself, prince, you can remember."
Emperor Ye Yunlong didn't want to teach the crown prince Ye Hongyin any more ways to control people, because he had already said enough.
"The day after tomorrow it's time for the New Year, tomorrow you can go to the palace to announce the decree, I'm a little tired, you can step down."
The crown prince Ye Hongyin did not dare to refute the emperor's decision, he knew that his father asked him to go to the palace to announce the decree in order to make Fang Jue grateful to him, but Ye Hongyin understood better that the deputy commander of the forbidden army might not be able to satisfy his guilt towards Fang Jue.
Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army, this is Fang Jue's official position before, but unfortunately Fang Jue gave up for the sake of a woman. The prince respectfully exited the imperial study, and then shook his head.
At this time, a voice suddenly made Ye Hongyin stop.
"Brother Huang, why are you so depressed, being scolded by your father again! Hey! ”
The sudden appearance of this eccentric mischievous troublemaker made the king, but Ye Hongyin showed a smile. The little princess Ye Yao dared to talk to the prince like this, and the prince had long been used to it.
"Prince, look at you, if you don't study hard, how can I rest assured that the huge country will be handed over to you."
Ye Yao walked up to the prince with a serious appearance, these words were what Emperor Ye Yunlong often said to the prince.
Ye Hongyin was already afraid of his father, so he hurriedly covered Ye Yao's mouth and said, "Be quiet, you learn from your father to speak like this, be careful of your father's punishment." ”
