Chapter 175: Say Goodbye Without Saying Goodbye
Fang La, Zhao Ji, and Zhao Qi have a better and better relationship with each other. Zhao Ji danced and wrote, Fang La and Zhao seemed to learn martial arts from each other, and Zhao's martial arts also advanced by leaps and bounds under Fang La's guidance. Moreover, some martial arts of the Western Regions were taught, and Zhao seemed to repay them, but he did not disclose the "Taizu Long Fist", which is an ancestral precept that must not be violated.
Fang La has stayed in Zhao Ji's mansion for more than a month, as the head of Manichaeism, these days he has talked with Zhao Ji and Zhao Xiang very happily, even the things in the sect have been forgotten, immersed in the discussion of martial arts, without distractions, until he received a letter from the sect that he remembered that he had not returned for more than a month, if he did not go back, he was afraid that there would be chaos in the sect.
"Two brothers, I have been here too long, and I am afraid that I will soon leave for it. If there is fate, our brothers will see each other again! ”
Fang La's sudden words surprised Zhao Ji and Zhao Ru, and they hurriedly asked, "Big brother, why is it so urgent, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
"Unbeknownst to the two brothers, a message came from the Dharma Protector that the members of the sect were looking for me. If you don't go back, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the church. Besides, I have been staying for more than a month again, and the friendship between the two brothers, I remember it in my heart, but I am afraid that I will not be able to stay any longer! ”
Zhao Ji saw that Fang La's mind had been decided, and he no longer kept it, and sighed: "My brother is well-informed, and he has benefited a lot over the past few days. If we say goodbye today, I'm afraid I don't know when we will be able to meet. Since my brother has decided to leave, I will drink hard and send my brother out of the city! ”
Fang La thought for a while, nodded and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the second brother, but I am disrespectful to that brother!" ”
That night, Zhao Ji set up a banquet to entertain Fang La, and it was also a parting banquet to give him a ride, so the three of them were very drunk.
The next day, Zhao Ji and Zhao Ru woke up and opened their eyes, but they couldn't see Fang La's figure, and the two hurriedly asked the people in the house, and they didn't know where Fang La went. At the same time, they also saw the note left by Fang La: "The good intentions of the two virtuous brothers, the brother has received it!" If you don't leave, I'm afraid that there will be trouble, so my brother doesn't say goodbye, and I'll see you again one day! ”
"Brother Huang, brother, he's gone!" Zhao seemed to look at the note left by Fang La, and sighed a little sadly.
Zhao Ji was also a little sad, these days, he felt Fang La's care for the two of them. Even if Fang La was born recklessly and righteous, when he instructed Zhao Ruwu, he was like a master teaching his disciples, teaching carefully, and talking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes with Zhao Ji, and also talking about the places where he had traveled in the mountains and rivers over the years.
Zhao Ru said: "Brother Huang, I want to leave the capital to find my brother. ”
"Thirteenth brother, do you really think so? Why is that? Zhao Ji exclaimed, he knew that Zhao seemed to be obsessed with martial arts, and he would not leave the capital at this time, if the minister knew about it, it would be dangerous.
Zhao Ru said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, Brother Fang left in such a hurry, presumably something must have happened to Manichaeism." Although my brother is strong in martial arts and is not afraid, but with his strength, he is afraid that it will be difficult to face thousands of troops, and I want to go and help him. ”
Zhao Ji understood what Zhao seemed to mean, and he also felt strange. Before, Fang La had said that it would take some time, but he left without saying goodbye after drinking that night, which shows that he was in such a hurry. Moreover, the note left by Fang La was also written in a hurry, and this word was still pointed out to him by Zhao Ji, so he knew it, otherwise he might not know it if he was another person.
"In that case, then I'll go with you!" Zhao Ji groaned.
Zhao seemed to hurriedly replied: "Brother Huang, you must not leave the capital. If you also leave the capital, if the Queen Mother and the minister know, I am afraid that both of us will be in danger. With the temperament of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that we will not escape the blame. Besides, I didn't covet the throne in the first place, I didn't care at all, if you also left, what kind of chaos would happen to the ministers of the DPRK and China, and it would be out of control at that time. ”
Zhao Ji thought about it and felt that what Zhao seemed to say was quite right, at this time, it was the ministers of the court and the Empress Dowager Xiang who were at loggerheads for the Great Song Dynasty to choose the monarch, and the core figures of this battle were the two of them. If he also leaves, he is afraid that the Queen Mother will know about it, and he will be severely punished, not only will the throne not be guaranteed, but even his title will be a little dangerous, and he has to think about it.
"Brother Huang, it is only natural that I should go to help him. After all, he is my brother and half my master. These days, the things that I couldn't figure out before have also been understood under his guidance. Moreover, the imperial brother himself is a literati, how can he fight with those people, you still stay in the capital, so that even if you find out that I have left the capital, you can safely ascend to the throne and become the emperor. ”
Zhao Bi knew in his heart that he was not a candidate for the emperor, even if it was supported by the ministers of the DPRK and China, he would not be here. However, Zhao Ji is a brother with him, and he also knows Zhao Ji's literary talent and talent, so it is natural to give up the throne, and it is the best result to directly let Zhao Yi ascend the throne as the emperor.
"This matter can be discussed later, or think about how to find Brother Fang is the top priority!" Zhao Ji is also entangled in his heart, on the one hand, he is a brother who is like a brother, and on the other hand, he is a brother who can get the throne at his fingertips, and he will be entangled with anyone else, let alone Duan Wang Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ru said in a deep voice: "If you don't guess wrong, Brother Fang must go to Yunxin Temple on this trip!" ”
Zhao Ji was surprised: "How do you know?" ”
"A few days ago, when Brother Fang and I were talking, we mentioned this place." Zhao seemed to reply truthfully, "Brother Fang La once said that this place is surrounded by endless peaks for dozens of miles, and the scenery is beautiful, which is suitable for spreading morality. At the beginning, the destruction of Buddhism in the former Tang Dynasty suffered a heavy blow, so it turned underground, and then spread to Jiangnan and other places, he felt that this place was the most suitable place to establish the main altar, so he must go. ”
"If that's the case, then it will take more than a month for us to go back and forth to Yunxin Temple. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to hide the Queen Mother's eyes at that time, and it will really be difficult to escape the blame at that time. Zhao Ji groaned, gritted his teeth, and said unswervingly: "If such a person serves the imperial court, I am afraid that he will be a general, so good!" I will also go with you, even if I am punished by the Queen Mother! ”
Zhao seemed to hurriedly say: "Brother Huang! ……”
"It's nothing, it's a big deal to miss this time, it doesn't matter in a while. If such a talent is lost, I am afraid that it will be a loss to the imperial court. Zhao Ji smiled indifferently and said, "If you really sneak out of the capital and go to Yunshan Temple, I'm afraid that it will be bad if the Queen Mother finds out." It's better for us to explain truthfully, and ask for orders directly. ”
Zhao seemed to be shocked: "What does the imperial brother mean?" ”
"These days, although I am good at dancing and writing, I have not done anything, and I am also observing his talents." Zhao Ji said with a smile, "This person is arrogant, righteous, not surprised, and rigorous, all of which are in my eyes." If not, how can I bow down to him, because this man is qualified to be a true talent. ”
"If the imperial court loses this person, it must lose a general. It is better for us to go to the palace, meet the queen mother, and explain this matter to her, so as to recruit such talents to serve the court, which is the first achievement. In addition, Yunshan Temple is also a Taoist present, there are 'nine stone gates are not locked, and the gate of heaven is not closed at night!' The legend is that it is a Taoist cave blessed land, and you can also pray for the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty, isn't it beautiful! ”
"He is worthy of being an imperial brother, and he is thoughtful!" Zhao seemed to secretly admire, he didn't think about it so much, but Zhao Ji drew inferences from one another, from sneaking out of the capital to leaving openly, so that he would be safe and sound, but he was a little worried about whether the Queen Mother would agree.
Therefore, Zhao seemed to tell Zhao Ji his worries, but he didn't expect Zhao Ji to say that he had his own way to deal with this matter, so that he didn't need to worry. Then, he hurriedly entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother.
