Chapter 233: Staying Away
Zheng's impression of Xiao Huaisha is very vague, and he knows that Xiao Huaiyuan is too mysterious. : "I have seen it from or on TV, and when the final answer is revealed, they are either great traitors or great evildoers. belongs to the kind of key person who will decide the whole thing as soon as he makes a move. The end of such a person has also been arranged long ago. It's either to die to the end, or to have the last laugh, which is quite extreme anyway.
So for this kind of person, although it is intuitive that he is worth trusting, it is better to be wary.
Fang Zheng squinted at Xiao Huaiyuan, and suddenly picked up his tone and said, "You talk to me about the crown prince and several other princes?" Brother Xiao, if you are not in his position, you are not in his position, you are just an errand in the prince's mansion, what about me. is just an idle official who eats and waits for death. What about the crown prince and several princes, we don't need to talk about it in private, right? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan blinked and said with a smile: "Brother Fang." Don't you really want to hear it? It's very important to you."
Fang Zheng held his forehead and said, "I don't want to!" Now when I hear about the court, state affairs, and the struggle for power and profit, I have a headache, and I think, "Am I sick?" I have to take a look at the doctor Xiao Huaiyuan heard the words for a moment, and then smiled easily: "Since Brother Fang doesn't want to listen, and the junior brother is not reluctant, this, Brother Bu will not bother Brother Fang, and say goodbye."
After speaking, Xiao Huaiyuan got up and left, Fang Zheng held his forehead, squinted his eyes, and watched Xiao Huaiyuan walk out, the more he walked, the slower his pace became. seemed to be waiting for Fang Zheng to stop him.
Fang Zheng sneered in his heart, how could this guy still have such a bloody episode in his head? Did he think that as long as he went outside, he would definitely stop him? I was tired of playing the trick of wanting to catch the old man in my last life, didn't you show your eyes in front of me now?
Fang Zheng didn't even look at Xiao Huaiyuan, he yawned to himself, and then picked up the teacup on the mahogany coffee table, and took a sip of tea slowly, looking very leisurely.
Xiao Huaiyuan stopped after taking two steps, turned around and looked at Fang Zheng helplessly, and sighed:
"Brother Fang, I have come to tell you the current situation in the capital, and I have no ill will towards you."
Fang Zheng smiled indifferently: "You have to tell me first." What is the reason for you to rush to my house to analyze the situation for me, my family has been in business for generations, and believes that no one will do anything that is not profitable and not good. You come to analyze the situation for me. What benefits do you get from it? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan was stunned for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Brother An, I have mine"
"Bitterness, huh? Can't say yes, right? Understand. Totally understandable. Since the day I met you, you have had a hard time on the left and a difficult place on the right, as if you alone have the most secrets hidden on you, and you look bitter and sad, Brother Xiao. To be honest, I really sympathize with you, aren't you tired of living like this? ”
Looking at Xiao Huaiyuan's helpless appearance with words of suffering, Fang Zheng sighed and said, "Okay." Tell me, and I'll listen. Even though you've always acted like a mysterious person and don't look like a good person, I still choose to believe you. ”
Xiao Huaiyuan defended: "I'm a good acquaintance..."
"Is there a good guy like you who hides his head and tail?" Fang Zheng gave him a blank look.
Xiao Huaiyuan didn't seem to bother to argue with Fang Zheng. Went straight to the point and said, "Brother Fang should know that the two princes of King Shou and King Ying have entered Beijing, right?" ”
"Yes. So what? ”
"Brother Fang should also understand that these two princes must have bad intentions when they enter Beijing at this time, right?"
"Well, I get that, too."
Xiao Huaiyuan sighed and said, "That's it." You and King Fu are in a bad situation. ”
Fang Zheng was stunned and said, "How do you say this?" ”
Xiao Huaiyuan's eyes were half-closed, and he lowered his voice and said: "King Shou and King Ying moved around as soon as they entered Beijing on the grounds of recuperation, secretly befriended officials in the court, and released rumors everywhere, saying that the prince is not the emperor's own flesh and blood, and now there are many officials who have played the emperor, asking for the abolition of the prince and the establishment of another prince."
Fang Zheng nodded quietly and said, "What does this matter to me?" The royal family has been competing for the throne since ancient times, am I an idle official, can I manage it? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan ignored him and continued: "The most unpredictable thing now is the emperor's attitude. He left the officials' request for the abolition of the prince in the middle of the recital, nor did he approve the small while still letting the prince govern the country. It is said that this attitude should be regarded as supporting the prince. However, the emperor ignored the fact that the two princes entered Beijing without an edict, and turned a deaf ear to their actions of moving around the capital, making friends with officials, and vainly trying to overthrow the crown prince. Many ministers couldn't guess what the emperor thought, "Brother Xiao, you still haven't told me, what does this matter to me?" ”
Xiao Huaiyuan stared at Fang Zheng and said with a smile: "Brother Fang and King Fu are former classmates, and they must have a deep friendship, so they will inevitably advance and retreat together, and watch and protect each other. With such a huge opportunity in front of him, His Royal Highness the King of Fei Fei has no intention of winning the artifact? ”
Fang Zheng's eyes widened when he heard this, his hand trembled and pointed at Xiao Huaiyuan, and he said with a discoloration: "You,"
Do you want me to incite His Royal Highness King Fu to overthrow the crown prince? Brother Xiao, such a big rebellious statement. How dare you say it? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan was stunned, as if he didn't expect Fang Zheng to be so shameless, but he acted like a loyal minister and a direct son of a loyal minister when he put things on the table. It really made Xiao Huaiyuan a little stunned, he still deeply underestimated the thickness of Fang Zheng's face.
"Brother Fang, there are no outsiders here, why are you so careful? This matter was tacitly understood, I just said it truthfully" Xiao Huaiyuan found that since he entered this mansion, the expression he showed the most was a wry smile.
Fang Zheng smiled noncommittally and said, "Brother Xiao, what do you want to tell me?" ”
"Although King Shou and King Ying have not directly targeted King Fu and you at present, I think that since they have the intention of winning the position of the crown prince, then it is only a matter of time before they become enemies with you and King Fu, and the biggest obstacle in front of them now is the prince and King Fu, only by overthrowing the prince and King Fu, he will have a chance to chase the throne of the prince, this. I believe Brother Fang has already seen it clearly, right? ”
"So what?"
"Since ancient times, the high-ranking people have been like a big tree, with thick branches, dense leaves, and intertwined roots, so that they can withstand the wind and rain. Brother Fang, now you are in a second-rank position in the court, holding a heavy immortal. His Royal Highness Nan Hu entered the Ministry of Gui Officials. Ordered Brother Fang to ask 100 questions. Do you have a foundation in your heart with happiness? Do you have a trust? Do you have connections? ”
Fang Zheng shook his head honestly and said, "No." ”
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled, his smile mixed with a bit of inexplicable meaning: "Brother Fang, a powerful and high position without a foundation can not bring you glory. On the contrary, it will bring you the scourge of killing, make you a live target, be constrained everywhere, be murdered and attacked everywhere, you are not yet a weak crown, you are already a second-class member of the court, such a proud young courtier, how can you not attract jealousy? The kidnapping you took place the other day is a living example. ”
Fang Zheng's expression gradually became solemn, and he was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Yes, what you said is very reasonable, but what can I do?" Resigned? The emperor is definitely not allowed, and King Fu is in need of me at this time, and I can't leave lightly. Concessions? If I retreat, will the enemy let me go? Retreat and retreat, when will I retreat? ”
"That's why I just said on the Internet, you and King Fu are now in danger, King Shou and King Yingwang will point the finger at the prince when they return to Beijing, but the prince has been operating in the capital and the court for many years, and his power is intricately intertwined, and the roots of Ye Da are deep, how can the two princes who live in the domain all the year round be easily shaken? If the two princes find that there is no hope of overthrowing the prince, they will definitely turn around and directly target you and King Fu, who are relatively weak, and then the prince will inevitably breathe a sigh of relief and be happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Fang Zheng's expression became bitter when he heard this. "I've thought of what you're talking about a long time ago" Although I have no intention of participating in this fight, the problem is that I can't help myself now, and I have been involved, what can I do except to deal with them? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan looked at Fang Zheng, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "Brother Fang, have you thought about it, whether it is the prince or the king of Shou." Or the King of England, who is caught in a battle and is overwhelmed. But they forgot the most important point, "You mean?"
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled: "In the court, they are vying for power and profit, forming parties on a large scale, and dumping each other, they are deeply involved and have no time to care about anything else." But they forgot that it was not the courtiers, the people, or themselves who decided the choice of the prince, but the emperor, and the emperor said that whoever he wanted to be the prince would be a holy decree, and no matter who disobeyed, he could not oppose it, and the prince and the two princes just forgot this,"
Fang Zheng said in frustration: "How could they forget? As far as I know, the crown prince and the two princes often go to the palace to say goodbye, and shush in front of the emperor. Do more like a pro-son than a set son, in comparison. But King Fu looked much more wooden,"
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled: "No, no, Brother Fang." The crown prince and the two princes only did the surface, in fact, the emperor was not confused, no matter how humble and filial they behaved in front of the emperor, but what they did in private, I believe the emperor must know. Fighting in the same room and fratricidal warfare is the last thing the emperor wants to see, compared to the deference they show in front of the emperor, it shows that their character is even more despicable, and the emperor is more and more jealous in his heart. In contrast, King Fu behaved in a wooden manner. But he was not deeply involved in the battle between the prince and the prince in private, and the emperor must also know it, so Brother Bu boldly speculated about the holy will, maybe the emperor loved King Fu more and more. ”
Xiao Huaiyuan raised his eyes to look at Fang Zheng as he spoke, and said with a smile: "If His Royal Highness King Fu intends to win the artifact. Just stay out of the way all the time. I believe that the position of the prince of the country will not be difficult, Brother Fang, the mind of the emperor is to accommodate the world. Hidden in the universe, the long-term vision, the depth of the scheming. It is difficult for ordinary people to reach the prince, the two princes, including you and me and King Fu, what they do are far inferior to the emperor's case, and the seller who thinks he has a clever plan, in fact, everything has been secretly seen through by the emperor, it is better to cover up the clumsy and hide the wisdom with foolishness. Wu Wei, the magic prescription of Wu Wei seemed to have an understanding, nodded, stared at Xiao Huaiyuan and said: "Brother Xiao, you tell me the truth, these words are your own opinion." Or did someone ask you to tell me? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan said with a smile: "Some of them were asked by others to tell me, and some of them, hehe, I told you as a villain, Brother Fang, don't ask who that person is, in short, he has no ill will towards you." ”
After a pause, Xiao Huaiyuan hesitated. He said, "Recently, you and King Fu should be careful." Maybe someone with a heart will provoke a conflict between you and the prince or between you and the two princes."
Saying that, Xiao Huaiyuan sighed: "Now that you are in the game, if you want to stay out of the matter, it is easy to talk!" ”
Fang Zheng also sighed: "Yes, how good it is to be my rich young master, I don't know how to fall into such a difficult and dangerous situation, where do you say I can reason Xiao Huaiyuan stood up and said with a smile: "When you reach the top, you can naturally see the scenery that ordinary people can't reach." This is also the advantage of being in a tall person, so many people in the world are keen to chase fame, fortune and power. Brother Fang, if there is nothing else, the younger brother will say goodbye to what the younger brother said just now, and I hope that Brother Fang will think twice. ”
Fang Zheng hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Hey, wait a minute, you're leaving?" ”
Xiao Huaiyuan was stunned and said, "Brother Fang, do you have any questions?" ”
Fang Zheng said seriously: "Yes, I have a very important question I want to ask you, and I haven't been embarrassed to speak" Brother Fang said. ”
Fang Zheng looked him up and down a few times, and coughed twice. His expression was full of anticipation, and he said with little stars in his eyes: "I ask you", are you really here to give gifts when you come to my house today? ”
Sending away Xiao Huaiyuan, who was full of black lines, Fang Zheng looked at his back and suddenly smiled.
Xiao Huaiyuan is very interesting, very interesting!
Presumably the guy behind him is more interesting, right?
Fang Zheng, who was full of worries, returned to the small courtyard, lay on the bed and sighed deeply, Xiao Huaiyuan said that there is some truth in the union, in the current situation, every move of several princes is seen in the eyes of the emperor, if the fat man takes the initiative to make friends with the ministers of the court and the central government for the position of the prince, he will inevitably fall behind, causing a bad impression on the emperor.
Therefore, the fat man can't act rashly, it's best to be honest in his ministry's "Crossing the Young Master VIP Chapter Table of Contents Chapter 233 Stay out of the matter, and make friends with the minister, and lay the foundation for the fat man and himself to lay a foundation of contacts in the court, out,! I can do it myself.
It's easier said than done, not to mention anything else, it's come full circle, and it's back to square one. He and the fat man had to face two very headaches: no money and no talent.
Whenever the prince competes for the throne, they all have a set of staff teams to make plans. There are also countless industries under their name, providing them with a steady stream of money, both ancient and modern. If you want to reach the peak of power, you must burn a lot of money, which is an eternal truth. Too much to spend, to the minister. Qin raised diners, and often entered the palace to pay tribute to the emperor and the favored concubines in the harem, etc., but unfortunately, he and the fat man now have neither money nor talent in their hands.
The Fang family is rich, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the wealth is rivaled by the country, Fang Zheng knows that at least at present, the silver in the treasury of the Hua Dynasty is not as much as the Fang family. But the Fang family's money can't be moved for the time being, that is a way out that Fang Zheng intends to leave for the fat man and his whole family, after a hundred years of the emperor, if the fat man does not become the prince, then what awaits him and himself will be the fate of being cleaned, at that time, he will have to run away, no money, how to run?
"Money! Money! Fang Zheng covered his cheeks and looked up to the sky and sighed.
I don't know if there are any female customers in the Qinglou that Yanran takes care of, so I can't do it, so Master Ben will be reluctant to go to the Qinglou to pick up customers, Fang Zheng feels that the only capital he has left now is handsome.
While he was lamenting, a small figure jumped in and ran in, and when he saw Fang Zheng lying on the bed, he was overjoyed and screamed. stumbled up and shouted happily: "Brother-in-law, brother! ”
The small fleshy body unceremoniously rose from the ground, and then fell from the sky and fell fiercely on the stomach of Fang Zheng, who was lying on his back. Screaming.
You don't need to look at it to know that this little person who calls him "brother-in-law and brother" must be the little devil of Princess Changle.
Fang Zheng clutched his stomach and looked at the villain with a painful expression, wanting to cry without tears for a while.
Every time he sees this little devil, it must be no good thing, Fang Zheng is now more and more sure that this little guy was born to be his nemesis, from a certain point of view, she is even more terrible than the prince and the two princes, other enemies just want his life, but as soon as she stretches out her hand to ask for silver, it is even more cruel than asking for his life.
I haven't seen her for many days, Fang Zheng looked at her fixedly, the little guy was dressed up very beautifully today, wearing a goose yellow palace skirt, with a chubby little face facing the sky, exuding a refreshing milky fragrance. The hair is carefully braided into two small buns, and the whole person looks like a porcelain doll carved in pink and jade, and it is very yellow and violent?
Brother-in-law, are you sick? Seeing Fang Zheng clutching his stomach with a painful expression, Changle blinked his big clear eyes curiously, the culprit who caused Fang Zheng's pain seemed to know nothing about his bad behavior.
Fang Zheng was still holding his stomach, forced himself to squeeze out a smile, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not sick, don't touch me." As soon as your brother-in-law had menstrual pain, Changle heard that Fang Zheng was fine, and his little face immediately smiled like a flower, patted his fleshy little palm, and then turned around and ran out.
Fang Zheng was stunned for a while, and before he could stop her, Changping walked in, his eyes full of doting eyes as Changle's little figure stumbled away.
Fang Zheng pointed to Changle's back, and said to Changping in surprise: "Your sister has changed her temperament?" Why didn't you ask me to donate money today? ”
It's so strange, Changle used to just see him. So he stretched out his hand to ask him for silver, and said: "Fundraising" What happened to her today? Could it be that at a young age, she also thinks that it is very immoral to reach out to her brother-in-law to ask for money?
Changping covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "Don't be too happy, there will be a time for you to cry later."
Fang Zheng was startled, an ominous premonition rose in his heart, and he said in a trembling voice: "What do you mean?" ”
There was no need to wait for Changping to answer, Fang Zheng knew what he meant.
The small figure outside the door ran back again, but there was one more thing in his hand, and he didn't have to guess to know. This kind of thing is naturally the ultimate law donation box that kills gods when encountering gods, kills ghosts when encountering ghosts, and exudes ten thousand golden lights.
Fang Zheng held his forehead, and the little guy turned his head and ran out, it turned out that he was going to get this broken box. Nemesis, nemesis! How can you spend this day?
What made Fang Zheng even more painful was that the donation box in the little guy's hand was actually an upgraded version, the size was two sizes larger than the original, and the opening above the box was also much larger than the original, enough to fit a one-foot-long jade Ruyi. Fang Zheng suddenly remembered at this time that on the table facing the door in his room, there happened to be a jade Ruyi of this size.
In other words, in Changle's eyes, he will always be the stupid and rich wronged man, and his fleshy little hands struggle to lift the box. Holding it in front of Fang Zheng, Changle looked at him expectantly with clear eyes, and his voice was soft and glutinous. even had a bit of flattery: "Brother-in-law, brother, who did this little guy learn to be so slippery?"
Fang Zheng didn't cover his stomach this time, he changed his heart, closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at the big box that had been promoted, but said bitterly: "Don't, don't call me brother-in-law, don't call me brother, you can call it when I have money..."
"And what do I call you?" Changle was very worried, holding the box high in his little hands. A little overwhelmed.
"Whatever you can call, as long as you don't call it so intimately, the more intimate you call, the more broken I will be, Changle frowned, turned her head to look at her sister Changping for help, Changping had already collapsed on the edge of the bed with a messy smile.
Changle blinked his big eyes, thought for a long time, and hesitated to speak: "Then I call you "Zheng Zheng?" ”
"Don't, you still call me brother-in-law, call me dead brother-in-law."
"Why do you call your brother-in-law dead?"
"Because I decided to die, immediately, immediately!"
