Chapter 240: See Assassination Again

The emperor angrily announced the dispersal of the dynasty, and then flicked his sleeves, turned around and entered the harem, not bothering to look at Fang Zheng.

After Baiguan Shan shouted long live, they all turned around and walked towards the door of the palace, passing by Fang Zheng's side, looking at him with different eyes, which was very complicated.

Fang Zheng knelt on the ground, looking at the empty emperor's dragon chair in front of him, motionless, his mind was a mess.

The emperor asked him to investigate the murder of Ye Wenjiang, which ...... Isn't this forcing him to turn his face with the British king? What does the emperor think?

If you really don't want to be an enemy of the British king, you can just find a substitute for the dead ghost to come out and convict the murderer, there are so many death row prisoners in the prison, it is easy to find a substitute for the dead ghost, so that not only can the conflict be successfully resolved, but also sell personal favors to King Shou and King Ying, and both parties are happy.

Do this...... Probably can, right? Does the emperor mean the same thing? But is the prince so foolish? If the king didn't turn his face with himself and let the prince's wishful thinking come to naught, would the prince be willing to give up?

"Lord Fang, Lord Fang......" The old man's voice sounded in Fang Zheng's ears.

Fang Zheng was startled, came back to his senses, and found that the entire Jinluan Hall was empty, and only Wei Chengde, the secretary of the military department, kindly woke him up.

"Ah...... Lord Wei, I haven't seen you for many days, the boss is good-looking, hehe, I guess I've been living a tight life lately, right? Fang Zheng said with a smile.

Wei Chengde stroked his beard, looked at Fang Zheng with a worried face, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Fang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not good intentions today, you have to be extra careful when dealing with Ye Wenjiang's case, don't fall into the trap of others." ”

Fang Zheng smiled bitterly: "The emperor insists on sending me on this errand, do I dare to resist the decree?" But I really don't understand what the emperor thinks, the boss has been through ups and downs for a long time, can you give some guidance to the lower officials? ”

Since Wei Chengde and Fang Zheng met, they have admired Fang Zheng, a young courtier, although Fang Zheng's personality is sleek and frivolous, he has never disappointed him in matters of right and wrong. From offering advice to retreat from the Turks, to negotiating with the Turks, to the rebellion of Pan. Fang Zheng stepped forward to escort him, which was enough to show that Fang Zheng was a loyal courtier. So Wei Chengde's impression of him has always been good, and even getting better and better.

Seeing Fang Zheng's distress, Wei Chengde couldn't help but smile and stroked his beard. smiled: "How dare the old man speculate on the holy will? It's just that Master Fang is in the game and doesn't know it. If you can jump out of the game and look at the whole game, you will definitely benefit from it......"

Fang Zheng said helplessly: "Lord Wei, just say it directly." Don't go around in circles, I'll only play backgammon......"

Wei Chengde lowered his voice and said: "The emperor's meaning is actually not difficult to guess, based on the overall consideration, the emperor really doesn't want you to have trouble with the two princes of Shouwang Yingwang." The prince and the important ministers poured into each other, and it was useless for the country and the court, which was the way to destroy the country and bring disaster. But...... The emperor also doesn't want you to be too good friends with the two princes, in case you secretly collude and do something that the emperor doesn't want to see, which is also the way to destroy the country and cause trouble. ”

Fang Zheng was dumbfounded: "In other words, the emperor wants my relationship with those two princes to be unbeatable and unharmonious?" ”

Wei Chengde nodded and smiled: "Yes." The so-called imperial mind. To put it bluntly, there are actually only two words, 'checks and balances'. Hold one head, press another head, maintain the delicate balance in the court, and the court can be peaceful. The court is at peace, and the world is at peace. Now that the crown prince is in charge of the country, it is the time when the imperial power is changing, no matter what the emperor plans for the prince. Whether it is a waste or a stand, we are courtiers. You can't have branches in the middle, otherwise, even if you are favored again, when it is related to the inheritance of the country, the emperor will mercilessly remove you! The reason why the emperor is called a lonely man is because the most important thing in his heart is only the country. ”

Fang Zheng felt a chill for no reason, Wei Chengde was right, the power of heaven is unpredictable, the emperor is already in his last years, and he is about to hand over the imperial power in his hands, at this critical and sensitive time, anyone who sets off a little bit of a small storm is what the emperor does not want to see. For example, the Yuezhou Juzi named Ye Wenjiang was killed, and it was just an ordinary homicide case, but the prince got involved, and tried to use this matter as a weapon to bring down the fat man and the two princes, this matter is not ordinary, I believe that the emperor is also very clear about the prince's intentions, so he pushed the boat down the river and ordered himself to deal with this matter.

The emperor has created a problem for himself.

Wei Chengde's words were a little vague, some of the words could not be said clearly, and the old man was very interesting enough to be able to talk about it to this extent.

Fang Zheng realized, arched his hand at Wei Chengde and smiled: "Thank you Lord Wei for your advice, they all say that ginger is old and spicy, this is really true......

Wei Chengde stroked his carefully trimmed beard and said with a smile: "Lord Fang is polite, the old man can only say so much to you, if you want to stand in the court and not fall, you still have to rely on yourself to understand many things." ”

Out of the palace gate, Fang Zheng went straight back to the house.

Just about to sit down and think about what to do with Ye Wenjiang's case, the next person sent a post, saying that King Ying invited him to the Yueyue Building for a gathering.

"This king is very good at being a man." Fang Zheng flipped through the beautifully made post and looked at it for a while, and said with emotion.

Everyone in the capital knows that Invite Yue Lou is the property of the Fang family, and the British King chose to feast Fang Zheng in Invite Yue Lou, and this move first released the greatest sincerity and goodwill to Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng looked at the post and sighed, this meal is really not easy to eat.

The emperor hopes that he and the king of England will maintain a relationship that is not salty or light, and the prince hopes that they will pinch each other, and it is best to end up together, the fat man is the weakest, and he is still counting on himself to support him, and the attitude of the king today seems to be to take the initiative to marry him.

All parties have different attitudes, different eyes, different thoughts, and where to go, which is really nerve-wracking.

After changing into civilian clothes, Fang Zheng went out to the meeting.

No matter what the King of England wanted to say to himself, at least this meal was his treat, he was beaten by Fang Zheng in the morning, and he had to invite Fang Zheng to eat at night, Fang Zheng felt that he was quite a long face for the traverser.

Yingyue Tower is actually not far from Fangfu, and it is there after a street. Fang Zheng didn't take a car or a sedan chair, he played with a gold ivory folding fan in his hand, and came to the Invitation Moon Tower as easily as a leisurely stroll.

At this time, it is already the time of the palm lamp, it is very strange, today the Yueyue Building is deserted, and there is no guest.

There was a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper standing outside the door, and when he saw Fang Zheng coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "The villain has seen Lord Fang." His Royal Highness has been waiting for your Excellency for a long time, please. ”

Fang Zheng glanced at the empty building and said curiously, "What's wrong today?" Is my family going bankrupt? Why don't you have a single guest? ”

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "The prince likes to be quiet, and he specially chartered the entire Invitation Moon Building today." To show the sincerity of the banquet. ”

Fang Zheng's eyes widened in surprise: "Packaged?" ”

Immediately, Fang Zheng pursed his lips. Walking in with both hands, he muttered as he walked: "Bao Qinglou, Bao Huafang, what are you not good at." Do you have to buy a restaurant? It's a waste, how good it would be to discount me......"

King Ying was sitting in a private room on the fifth floor of the Invitation Moon Building, admiring a picture of a lady hanging on the wall with great interest, and when he saw Fang Zheng coming in, he immediately laughed and said, "Lord Fang admires his face. This king confessed. ”

Fang Zheng's eyes swept quickly, and found that there were only two people in the private room, he and the king, this was a sensitive period, in order to hide people's eyes, the two of them did not even bring a guard.

Fang Zheng saw that the king's face was still swollen, and he couldn't recognize what it was, so he grinned, his face twitched in pain, but he still forced himself to laugh. It seems that only laughter can show his sincerity.

However, the King of England was smiling on his face, and there was a hint of imperceptible resentment in his eyes when he looked at Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng knew that the King of England must have known by now that the fat beating in the morning was caused by him, and the capital said that it was not a big deal. You can't hide it. It's just that for some purpose, it is inconvenient for the King of England to turn his face with Fang Zheng for the time being.

Seeing the disgusting appearance of the King of England, Fang Zheng couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, and arched his hand: "His Royal Highness the King is so polite. How dare the lower officials not come? ”

The two exchanged a few polite words and took their seats.

Not much. The dishes were served, and the two chatted a lot, and after three rounds of drinking, the king of England got to the point.

"This king invited Lord Fang today, I have a question about something, and I hope Lord Fang will give me advice."

"Although the prince speaks, the lower officials will never agree."

"Huh?"

"Oh...... I'm sorry, the lower official said it was smooth. Although the prince said that as long as he did not borrow money, everything was negotiable. Fang Zheng smiled and poured wine for the King of England.

When the king heard this, a little contempt flashed in his eyes, such a philistine, I don't know what luck he had, he was actually in a high position, God is really unfair.

Then the king said it bluntly. Early this morning, my father ordered my lord to investigate the murder of Ye Wenjiang, but I don't know what my lord meant......"

The King of England said this with a tentative tone, his eyes kept staring at Fang Zheng's face, as if he didn't want to miss any expression on his face.

Fang Zheng still looked smiling, took a sip of wine, and said in a slow and orderly tone: "As a courtier, of course, you must be loyal to your duties and share worries for the emperor, the emperor's will, the courtier must be meticulous in doing it, this is called a loyal minister, right?" ”

"This ...... Of course, of course, hehe. Ying Wang Qiang laughed a few times.

Fang Zheng suddenly said coldly: "The prince took the initiative to mention Ye Wenjiang, could it be that his death is really related to the prince?" ”

The king was taken aback and stammered, "Hu ...... Nonsense! This king is innocent and knows nothing about this case, but it is...... It was someone who maliciously framed this king, Lord Fang...... You can't get me wrong. ”

Fang Zheng said happily: "It really has nothing to do with the prince?" That's great! Xia Guan can finally let go of the investigation of the case, and he doesn't have to have any scruples......"

The king's face was a little ugly, and he smiled dryly: "This ...... Ah, haha, Lord Fang, drink, drink, drink......"

The two had a drink, and the king changed the topic in a timely manner: "I don't know what your lordship thinks of the current situation in Beijing?" ”

Fang Zheng had a satisfied expression, learned the posture of a great man, waved his hand in mid-air exaggeratedly, and said loudly: "The situation is very good!" ”

"Huh?" The King was dumbfounded, "This ...... Lord Fang, what does this mean? ”

Fang Zheng counted one by one: "The emperor is sage, the prince is also effective, the court has been peaceful and clear since Pan was ambushed, the courtiers respect and love each other, quite the style of ancient sages, the princes abide by their duties, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so ...... The situation is very good! ”

The British king's face became more and more ugly, he invited Fang Zheng to the banquet with the respect of a prince and a prince, but he didn't expect that Fang Zheng's attitude was perfunctory from beginning to end, as smooth and cunning as a loach, he felt that the decision to meet Fang Zheng today was a mistake at all.

Fang Zheng glanced at King Ying with a smile and said, "Doesn't the prince have a unique view of the situation in Beijing?" ”

“…… Lord Fang, there are only you and I in this private room today, and I can speak out. If it is in your ears, no third person will know. Let the king tell you clearly. ”

The king of England paused, and said in a deep voice: "This king knows that the person you support is the blessed king, and this king supports it." is the second son of the emperor. Shou Wang. You and I are our own masters, but we have a common enemy, and that is...... Prince. ”

"Only when the crown prince falls, King Fu and King Shou have a chance to compete for the position of the prince. So. For now, we should not be enemies, but allies, Lord Fang, the words of this king. I don't know if you think so? ”

Fang Zheng smiled: "What the prince means is that let's join forces to bring down the crown prince, and then we will be enemies of each other to see who can compete for the position of the crown prince?" ”

King Ying also smiled, his smile was a little gloomy: "Lord Fang is really smart, in fact, even if the crown prince falls, we don't have to be an enemy......"

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"The trend of the world will be combined for a long time. If King Fu is willing to join forces, King Shou promises, after the matter is completed, he will wait for his father to die. He is willing to rule the river with King Fu, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, King Fu rules the north, and King Shou rules the south. From now on, it will be passed down from generation to generation, and it will never be offended. ”

Fang Zheng was surprised when he heard this: "What does King Shou mean." Could it be ...... Divide the Chinese Dynasty in two? He accounts for half, and King Fu accounts for half? ”

The King of England nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, I would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox, rather than gambling all my life for the position of the Ninety-Five, it is better to retreat and be the king of the half country." This king believes that His Royal Highness King Fu will not object. ”

Tsk, what do you call a loser? Look at the realm of others! What is a loser's property? If you have the ability to defeat the whole country, that's what you call it powerful.

Fang Zheng shook his head secretly, what he said...... It's too fake, right? If the prince falls, it's strange if you don't immediately stab me and the fat man's knife! You can tell all this kind of deceptive nonsense, do you think I'm a fool?

"Lord Fang, in an alliance with you and King Fu, this king and King Shou have shown great sincerity, this king knows that King Fu is a person who has no ideas, and many things are Lord Fang, you are making up your mind, I don't know what the adults want about this king's proposal?"

Fang Zheng sneered in his heart, extremely sincere? Just that bullshit "row the river and rule"? Are you sharing a birthday cake? It doesn't matter if you insult my personality, it's too wrong to insult my intelligence.

After being silent for a long time, Fang Zheng was about to speak, when the door of the private room opened, and Xiao Er brought food in.

King Ying was eagerly waiting for Fang Zheng's reply, and when he saw Xiao Er coming in, he frowned very dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice: "Who asked you to come in without my orders?" ”

Who knew that Xiao Er lowered his head and didn't say a word, just holding the plate and approaching the two of them unhappily.

Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel strange, Invite Yuelou is his family's property, the shopkeeper inside, the account room and the junior second in the running hall have all been screened and trained, this guy walked in without saying a word with his head down, and he didn't answer any questions, so rude, could it be that he is new?

When the king saw that Xiao Er dared not answer, he couldn't help but feel a little angry on his face, and he was about to drink, but who knew that the situation in the elegant room had changed abruptly.

Xiao Er suddenly threw the wooden tray in his hand at Fang Zheng, and the steaming vegetable juice and leaves on the tray suddenly stained Fang Zheng's face.

Fang Zheng was so hot that he bounced up from the chair, wow wow screamed and hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeves, although his eyes were covered by vegetable soup, but Fang Zheng also knew that the situation was not good, and while wiping his face, his body shrank under the table smartly.

After the little two who came in threw the tray out, he pulled out a cold dagger out of nowhere, and shouted at the king: "Traitor! Come on! ”

The voice is delicate, like the first cry of a yellow warbler, this person is actually a woman.

As she spoke, the woman took the dagger in her hand and stabbed at the king.

The king was not slow to react, and when he saw someone assassinating, he was busy learning from Fang Zheng's example, and shrank his body under the table.

Fang Zheng had just wiped his face, and when he saw that King Ying had also shrunk in, he couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Why are you coming in?" Get out! ”

The King of England looked horrified and said, "How could anyone commit an assassination?" Is it here to kill you or to kill me? ”

"Of course I killed you, I have always been honest and duty-free, I don't recruit anyone and don't mess with anyone, how can anyone kill me?"

"Nonsense! This king has not offended anyone, can the assassin kill me? ”

As the two spoke, the female assassin also leaned down and got under the table, her pretty eyes full of anger, and she couldn't distinguish anyone, pinching the dagger and stabbing at the two of them.

Fang Zheng and King Ying let out a very tacit "wow" shout, and then came out from under the table at the same time, the female assassin seemed to have expected them to run, as soon as the two of them got out of the table, the female assassin also came out, and the three of them ran out of the table from three directions, as if someone had put a stinky fart under the table and smoked the three of them.

Fang Zheng's heart was once again filled with grief and indignation at this moment, how many times? How many times have you been hunted down? What kind of luck did Lao Tzu go? Why have you been assassinated endlessly in this life?

The female assassin wielded a dagger and chased after the two in the narrow private room, and it was evident that she was not good at this, and the goal of the pursuit seemed to be very unclear, chasing Fang Zheng for a while, and chasing the King of England for a while.

Fang Zheng shouted loudly as he ran: "There are assassins!" Catch the assassins! ”

What's worse is that the two met today, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, they didn't bring guards, and the king of England in order to show his magnanimity, and the entire Invitation Moon Building was contracted, that is to say, at present, in this five-story restaurant, in addition to the unknown shopkeeper and buddies, there are only him and the king.

Fang Zheng took advantage of the chaos to open the door of the private room, and was about to run out, as long as he got out of this door, he would have the hope of escaping from the assassins.

But the female assassin chased after him reluctantly, and saw that Fang Zheng wanted to open the door, without saying a word, she stabbed Fang Zheng in the abdomen with a dagger.

Fang Zheng is often chased and killed, and he has long been familiar with it, seeing the assassin's dagger stabbing him, Fang Zheng let out a shout of "wow", and then grabbed the king next to him without hesitation, and then raised his right foot, kicked the king of the king's ass fiercely, and kicked him towards the female assassin.

People don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, didn't you just say that we are allies? Now it's up to you to block the sword for your allies.

The King of England obviously didn't expect Fang Zheng to be despicable to this extent, and was kicked out by Fang Zheng without warning, and the King of England shouted, "Ah! You're shameless......"

Then he heard the sound of "snorting" and tearing his clothes, and the king of England touched his bleeding arm with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice: "This king ...... This king was stabbed ......"

Fang Zheng's heart was full of contempt, it was all at this time, and he didn't forget to put on the score, and he still the king and the king, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead!

When the female assassin saw that she had stabbed someone, her expression panicked, and then she bit her silver teeth, tightened the dagger in her hand, and stabbed at Fang Zheng again.

"Wait! Stop it! Fang Zheng shouted. There are too many people dying every day in the world, but he can't die in a daze, this assassination is too strange today, Fang Zheng must ask clearly.

The female assassin was drunk by Fang Zheng, and immediately stopped her figure, her pretty eyes glowed with cold light, and she stared at Fang Zheng for a moment.

"You can't kill blindly when you kill, you first say, who are you going to kill today?" Fang Zheng asked.

The female assassin hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "I am Ye Ling'er, the younger sister of Ye Wenjiang, the son of Yuezhou, and I vow to kill the King of England today to avenge my brother!" ”

Fang Zheng and King Ying let out an "ah" at the same time when they heard this. The difference was that Fang Zheng's voice was relaxed, while the King was full of horror.

Fang Zheng leaned his back against the door, sighed in prostration, pointed to the King of England with a face full of fear, and smiled as kindly as a blessing from heaven: "Let me introduce you grandly, this is His Royal Highness the King, don't kill the mistake, I'm a good person......"
