Chapter 213: Inquiry
The dog's god boil became even more gloomy. His brow furrowed deeply, his fingers felt his throat... Coffee table.
Fan Rui still looked respectful, standing quietly aside and not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the prince's thoughts.
After a long time, the prince said in a deep voice: "Sir." Don't you think there's something strange about this? ”
Fan Rui nodded and said: "I can also see that there is a conspiracy behind this Zhuo, and the target of this conspiracy is His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Who is so bold as to make such a conspiracy against the lonely?" The crown prince raised his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the momentum of a superior person naturally emanated.
Fan Rui's head hung lower, and when he heard this, he said honestly: "Forgive me for being stupid, I can't find a clue for a while,"
The prince sighed and leaned back in his chair. He seemed a little upset: "That's it, no wonder sir, the person behind it is too cunning." The Hua Dynasty is so big, there are too many people who covet the position of the lonely prince, how can Mr. be able to say everything accurately? ”
Fan Rui smiled, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked upward, and he said quite confidently: "Your Highness, of course you can't guess the specific person below, but there is an inference below, and I don't know if it's right or not." ”
The prince couldn't help but straighten up, and said with a happy face: "Oh? In this way, please come quickly for the lonely road and guide the lonely maze. ”
Fan Rui said with a smile: "Anyone who has a conspiracy against His Highness, one is for profit, and the other is for fame." His Royal Highness thinks from these two aspects, and has his own score. ”
"For the sake of profit, it is nothing more than that His Highness has offended some people in the past in order to expand his own industry, but His Highness is the prince of the country, and his power is great. If you don't have a certain strength, no one will dare to play a conspiracy against you, unless you say, "Unless you are promoted?" ”
"The people have the strength to target you, and they are not afraid of you, only those few family valves. These family gate valves are not conspicuous on weekdays, and they are very low-key in life and work, but the connections, financial resources, and power of the court that they have accumulated for generations should not be underestimated, if His Royal Highness really offends them, with all due respect, His Royal Highness's position may be a little dangerous, even if he ascends the throne smoothly, I am afraid that it is not easy to sit in that position. These families have great influence among the people, and they seem to be deferential to the court on weekdays, but once the court is slightly unfair to them, they can call out a rebel army of tens of thousands at any time. The calm and shrewd eyes had become frightened, he knew that what Fan Rui said was right, in addition to the emperor's throne, the family of the Hua Dynasty has always been a piece of his heart, he has thought about it countless times, and deduced in his mind how to eliminate the influence of the family lords on the government and the people. I thought of many ways to do it, but none of them worked.
The family has thick roots and large leaves, hundreds of years of accumulation of generations, they are not afraid of the suppression of the rulers at all, and it is okay for the two sides to be at peace, if the rulers want to weaken their power, then they will definitely join forces and fight to the death with the rulers.
Who would dare to take such a risk? If the crown prince really sinned against the family, no matter what conspiracy they used, they only needed to jointly repair a letter to the emperor. In order to appease them, the emperor will definitely not hesitate to set up another prince.
Fan Rui saw that the prince's face had turned pale. I couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I thought about it carefully, if it is said that the family valve wants to deal with you, I am afraid that it is unlikely."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Quite simply, there is no need for the Saga Gate Valve to do this. They have always kept a low profile, and when they clash with those in power, they generally choose to avoid retreating and retreating. This is also the fundamental reason why the family has survived hundreds of years of dynastic changes and has become more and more powerful. A family that is too showy will not live long. As far as His Highness knows, His Highness should have done nothing to provoke them, and when His Highness expanded his estate, it may have conflicted with their interests. However, in the opinion of the Majesty, this is not a big deal, and the family will never calculate His Highness for such a trivial matter. ”
When the prince heard this, his face was slightly humble, and he frowned and recalled carefully for a while, then shook his head and said:
"Lone has never had a conflict with them."
Fan Rui nodded and said: "It's not for profit, then tying up Fang Zheng against the people behind the scenes against His Highness must be for the sake of fame." ”
The pupils of the prince's eyes suddenly narrowed sharply. The face was involuntarily covered with a chilling color.
"So, someone wants to rob the lonely prince of the throne?"
Fan Rui nodded and said calmly: "Yes, Your Highness, imagine it, at present, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are tacit. all know that the emperor is arranging the court situation and checking and balancing each other, and Fang Zheng is the most important chess piece in the emperor's hand, a chess piece used to balance His Royal Highness's forces, the emperor personally arranged the hostile position between Fang Zheng and His Royal Highness, he was afraid that before His Royal Highness ascended the throne, the power was too huge, the king was not like the king, the minister was not like the minister, and the court was messed up. If Fang Zheng is missing. Or", dead, imagine your Highness, who will be the biggest beneficiary? ”
"Fang Zheng is not in the court, then the father will inevitably be suspicious of Gu because of this matter, and the next step for the father is to either remove Gu's power to supervise the country and wait for Fang Zheng to come back and make plans, or support King Fu to ascend the throne"
The prince pondered for a moment, and was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that this matter was done by King Fu?" Fang Zheng is missing, Lone will lose power, the biggest benefit is King Fu, King Fu and Fang Zheng have always been friends, could it be that this matter is a conspiracy between the two, deliberately staged a missing play in front of his father and the Manchu Dynasty, and after Lone lost power, Fang Zheng returned safely and made every effort to support King Fu to ascend to the position of crown prince,"
Thinking of this, the prince broke out in a cold sweat. In this life, he has gained too much, status, power. Money, beauty, whatever you want, all this, just because he is the prince, the prince of the country, he can't imagine how he can live if he has nothing left one day. There is no choice but to die.
Fan Rui frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said: "Your Highness, with all due respect, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, although I can't find a clue in the next moment, but I feel that behind this matter, there is an invisible and untouchable black hand, secretly manipulating everything behind the scenes, Your Highness." King Fu, Fang Zheng, and even, the emperor. He was ** in the palm of his hand, Your Highness, in extraordinary times, I advise you not to act rashly, to respond to all changes without change, one wrong step, one wrong step! ”
"And another force? Who? Above the court. Civil and military officials, who has such ability? Even his father and Gu were manipulated by him, and this person" The prince looked at the front with fixed eyes, his expression frightened and confused.
"This person is unfathomable, Your Highness, if you don't dig him out as soon as possible, there will be too many obstacles to Your Highness's great cause!" Fan Rui sighed.
The prince's eyes were blank for a long time. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth: "Anyway, Fang Zheng can't die, maybe he will die in the future, but definitely not now!" Mr. Fan, send additional people to search Xuzhou Mansion. Be sure to find Fang Zheng's whereabouts! ”
Fan Rui complimented, and continued: "There is another suggestion below, tomorrow morning, His Royal Highness can ask the emperor to send more soldiers and horses according to Suo Fang Zheng in front of the civil and military officials, and unify Feng Qiudao of the Longwu Army, and ask the emperor that before Fang Zheng returns, all his positions in the court are temporarily vacant, and there is no need to send another person to take them on his behalf, so as to show the emperor and the civil and military officials that His Royal Highness has nothing to do with this matter, or can slightly dispel their suspicions." ”
The prince nodded: "What Mr. said makes sense, tomorrow Lone will act according to what you say, and if you suck Fang Zheng, Lone will ask Jing Sheng!" This person must not die. Barely small... Xiao Huo took it to the capital, brought it to his father and the civil and military officials, and proved Gu's innocence. ”
Fang Zheng sat bent over and kneeled by the lake, his right hand on his cheek, and he paid out of his own pocket for a failed robbery yesterday. It took a few hundred taels of silver to send the men who escorted the car away respectfully. He really didn't expect such a result, so after going up the mountain, his emotions have been deeply annoyed.
There was laughter from the bandits' den behind him. This failed robbery did not seem to have caused a psychological shadow on this group of bandits, who still ate and drank heartlessly, laughed and laughed, and lived a wonderful and fulfilling life every day. What a bunch of unmotivated bandits!
But none of these are Fang Zhengguan's. What he was thinking about now was the man named Zhao Jun.
When the hell is this guy going up the mountain? As soon as the bandits mentioned him, they always shouted "Brother Jun, Brother Jun", I don't know what his identity is on the mountain, ask other bandits, they always smile and keep silent, this attitude really makes Fang Zheng feel inexplicable, or go directly to ask the master, since the bow was tied up, it has been stuck in Fang Zheng's heart like a spike, if he doesn't understand this matter, he will not be willing to die.
Thinking of it, Fang Zheng stood up and walked towards the hall of the wooden house in the bandits' den.
Luo Yueniang was practicing knives in the backyard, and when Fang Zheng stepped into the backyard, she had already practiced her knife style halfway through."
The delicate and slender body moved and jumped in a knife light, and the snow-white knife light and her bright red outfit complemented each other, like red plums blooming in the snow, which was dazzling.
This girl is so smart.
Fang Zheng couldn't help but admire, since Luo Yueniang tried her best to save him yesterday, somehow. Fang Zheng felt different when he looked at her again. Seem. Vaguely, as if, there was a little strange feeling in his heart, looming, like a light veil on a naked woman, wanting to reveal but not revealed.
I'm not going to like this, am I? Fang Zheng woke up and frowned secretly.
This girl is a little better looking. What else do I like? Well, well. Righteousness is also her strength, what else? Well. Also, her legs are very long, young master, I like long-legged beauties, unconsciously, Fang Zheng's eyes began to become lustful again, staring at Luo Yueniang's seductive and charming body, tsk, what a good cabbage! What to snack on? How do you look so perfect? **Yes**, chest is chest, if she is pushed down, upside down to the phoenix, Hu Tianhu, what kind of ** taste, "Pick up!" Luo Yueniang practiced the knife style. Inadvertently, seeing Fang Zheng's eyes revealing lewd eyes, staring at her body for a moment, Luo Yueniang couldn't help but be secretly annoyed, snorted, and threw the knife out casually. The sword light swept by, firmly nailed to the ashamed tree beside Fang Zheng, and then moved her delicate body, waving her fist and coming straight to Fang Zheng's door, Fang Zheng was still staring at her body stupidly, unaware that the danger was approaching.
It's so beautiful, this little girl is so hooked even when she fights, the young master has to think of a way to push her down, there are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, don't let this flower be folded by others, tsk, look at the charming face, look at the slender and straight long legs, "look at the cute little fist"
"Bang!"
Luo Yueniang punched Fang Zheng's face.
"Oops!" Fang Zheng screamed, "It's in the middle again!" "Why do you say again?
Luo Yueniang looked at Fang Zheng and said puzzledly: "My fist is not fast, why don't you hide?" ”
Wasn't I busy watching you go?
Fang Zheng grimaced, covering his nose with one hand: "The Kunlun faction's Seven Wounds Fist? ”
"It's not." Luo Yueniang hurt someone for no reason, and she was a little embarrassed: "Shaolin Luo, is this considered a beating of the imperial court officials?"
After cleaning up, Fang Zheng sat on the stone in the backyard. Looking at Luo Yueniang's delicate face, she wanted to speak again.
"Is there something wrong?" Luo Yueniang glanced up at him, lowered her head again, and concentrated on wiping a small and delicate lancet in her hand.
"Boss, uh, listen to the brothers. In the past two days, there is a man named Zhao Jun who is going up the mountain? Fang Zheng didn't go around in circles, and asked straight to the point.
got along with each other, and he knew that Luo Yueniang was a straight-tempered person, and he couldn't see anyone bending with her.
Luo Yueniang wiped the knife for a moment, suddenly raised her head, her beautiful big eyes flashed a little clear, and after a while, she nodded and said indifferently: "That's right." ”
"Master, you once said that the night Zhao Jun tied me up, he wanted to take my life, uh, did you stop me?"
"Yes, in fact, I didn't want to do that transaction, but Zhao Jun asked again and again, so I had to go down the mountain, and after seeing that the two fake eunuchs he arranged were seen through by you, I had no choice but to knock you out with a stick..."
Fang Zheng was taken aback: "What? You, "You, it turns out that you were the one who knocked me in the back that night?" Depend on! Did I provoke you? Do you need to be so ruthless? ”
Luo Yueniang said without shame: "Sheep eat grass." Wolves eat sheep, this is the way of the world, the old lady is worthy of you enough, after you were knocked unconscious, Zhao Jun ran out and wanted to make up for you a few times, and took your life. Didn't the old lady stop him? Speaking of which, the old lady also saved your life, what are you yelling about! ”
Fang Zheng suddenly realized that this was the case. In this way, Luo Yueniang is really her own life-saving benefactor, and the life-saving benefactor who knocked her stuffy stick "It's so awkward!"
Fang Zheng's expression suddenly became sad, his eyes seemed to be full of tears of humiliation, he looked at Luo Yueniang with great grievance, and was silent for a long time, Luo Yueniang was so angry that his scalp was numb, his body twisted uncomfortably, and he said, "You, what's wrong with you?" ”
"So, you're the one who tied me up in a wagon and carried me out of town, right?" Fang Zheng said quietly.
"yes, what are you sad about? Didn't you already know about it? What's there to be sad about? ”
Fang Zheng pursed his mouth aggrievedly, and said with a sad face: "In charge, you will be tied up, I have nothing to say, but" Why do you want to tie me into that posture? Do you know how much damage this has done to my psyche? ”
Luo Yueniang's eyes widened, and she stared at Fang Zheng for a long time, and then sighed: "This is my mistake, I was just trying to do it at the time, I didn't expect you to be so sensitive in your heart, who do you only deceive?" Can it be like that? I'll try to tie you up and see if I can tie it into that position" You dare! The old lady castrated you! ”
