The breeze is blowing, and the green trees are swaying. The spring in the scattered flower building is beautiful, the flowers and trees do not know people's worries, they are still luxuriant, and they are brilliant. The bee butterflies don't know people's sorrows, they are still flying and buzzing.

The three people under the corridor of the Sanhualou have been silent for a long time, Xuanzong's face is gloomy, Li Mao is cautious, and Fang Xuan's face is like earth, and his body trembles slightly. The three of them didn't speak, but they had a thousand words to say in their hearts, but unfortunately they couldn't say a word.

"Your Majesty......" Fang Xuan finally couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.

Xuanzong waved his hand to interrupt his words, glanced at Fang Xuan, sighed softly, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, draft the purpose." ”

A pen attendant hurriedly stepped forward, laid a pen and paper on the table, pressed it with a stone, dipped the pen in ink, and hovered on the paper to wait for Xuanzong to dictate. Xuanzong stood up, walked under the railing of the corridor, looked at a pool of spring water in the Moon Pool, groaned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Check the dereliction of duty and incompetence of the corpse of the right Xiangguo Fangxuan, and slander the courtiers from time to time, which is really not the trip of a virtuous minister. I was able to tolerate it because of my merits, but recently, Fang Xuan privately diverted military rations to interfere with the counterinsurgency plan, which is really a great crime and is extremely unforgivable. After thinking about it, I now decree that all official positions and titles of Fang Xuan will be abolished, and the family property will be confiscated, and he will be beheaded on the same day. All the members of his family were deprived of their official positions and titles, reduced to commoners, and all of them were exiled to the land of Anxi. This purpose! ”

Fang Xuan's face was like ashes, his body couldn't support it, and he collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, raised his trembling arms and shouted, "Your Majesty...... Spare your life. ”

Li Mao's face also changed greatly, and he stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Father, don't." Fang Xuan is loyal to his father, so Wang Yuan ...... That Wang Yuan is indeed suspected of 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes', and what Fang Xuan said is not wrong. ”

Xuanzong shouted angrily: "You stop me, go back to think about it behind closed doors immediately, and you will not be allowed to go out for half a step for three months." Your Hexi Jiedu has also relieved you of your post, and the matter of recruiting troops will be stopped, and you are not allowed to mention a word again. ”

Li Mao's face was like ashes, he opened his mouth for a long time, and finally lowered his head and said, "Erchen...... Obey! ”

Xuanzong looked at Fang Xuan, who was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, and said softly: "Fang Xuan, you are a loyal minister, I know it in my heart. This time you will suffer on my behalf, and I will remember you. In the future, I will rehabilitate you. Your family will not let them be abused, and they will be assured of food and clothing. Come, take him down. ”

Several attendants stepped forward to help Fang Xuan, but Fang Xuan was paralyzed like mud and couldn't help him up at all. As a last resort, the attendants held hands and lifted their feet, and dragged him down.

……

In the evening, Wang Yuan got the news that Fang Xuan had been beheaded at the entrance of Dongjie. Although this news did not surprise Wang Yuan at all, because Wang Yuan expected that Xuanzong would do this, because Xuanzong could not turn his face against him, and he must use Fang Xuan's life to calm his anger. But even so, Xuanzong solved the matter so quickly, which still made Wang Yuan have to admire Xuanzong's determination and decisiveness.

After all, he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he has experienced countless ups and downs in his life, although he is already in his old age and has suffered a huge blow. But the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, Jiang is still old and spicy, in dealing with this matter, Xuanzong's response was quick and decisive, so that Wang Yuan had nothing to say. And Xuanzong successfully protected King Shou, and the father and son used Fang Xuan as a scapegoat, which succeeded so that Wang Yuan could not implicate King Shou in this matter, which has to be said to be a good move that is old and spicy and thick.

According to people who watched Fang Xuan's execution at the scene, before the execution, Fang Xuan refused to admit his guilt, claiming that he was wronged. He also shouted to the onlookers that Wang Yuan was a minister of wolf ambition, holding His Majesty hostage and brutalizing Zhongliang, saying that sooner or later the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed in Wang Yuan's hands. These words sparked a wave of abuse from the surrounding people. The supervisor seemed to be deliberately delaying the time for Fang Xuan to say these words, but in the angry insults of the people, he was afraid of an accident, so he ordered Fang Xuan to be beheaded.

Wang Yuan laughed at this. Regardless of whether Fang Xuan wants to come to such a play before he dies, the words in the Scattered Flower Building today will definitely come out. In fact, since that sentence has been spoken, it will take root in the hearts of all. This is also a helpless thing, and Wang Yuan has no good way to do it except ignore it. However, what made Wang Yuan happy was that the reaction of the people on the execution ground was still satisfactory, at least in the eyes of the people, he was still trustworthy and supportive. Wang Yuan took a fancy to this, as for the others, Wang Yuan didn't care so much.

Xuanzong's decisiveness also made the alarm bell ring in Wang Yuan's heart, if Xuanzong spoke out to defend Fang Xuan today, Wang Yuan might still have a trace of illusion about Xuanzong. After all, to maintain a courtier who is loyal to him, even if the courtier makes a mistake, he should say something good for him. However, Xuanzong was extremely resolute, he did not maintain it, but quickly fell into the well and cleared up the relationship, which actually made Wang Yuan very cold to him, what else is there to respect and loyalty in such a Xuanzong?

Wang Yuan's understanding of Xuanzong has been constantly refreshed, what was Xuanzong like in the past, Wang Yuan didn't dare to say, but what Xuanzong is like now, Wang Yuan has the right to speak. On Ma Weipo, Yang Yuhuan was pushed out to death at a critical time to save his throne and life, and after that incident, Wang Yuan knew that Xuanzong, who was gentle and affectionate on the outside, was actually a person who was completely unsentimental and hypocritical, or that he was an extremely selfish person who only loved himself. Of course, there is nothing wrong with being selfish, but it is contemptible for a selfish person to pretend to be generous. It is terrible that he can give up everything he loves for the sake of his position and his life. To put it bluntly, this is cold-blooded.

He can give up Yang Yuhuan on Ma Weipo, and of course he can give up Fang Xuan at this moment. The cold-bloodedness and utilitarianism he showed was chilling. Of course, at present, only Wang Yuan can help him quell the rebellion, help him return to Chang'an, and become the person who sits on the Tang Dynasty again. From this point of view, Xuanzong's choice is extremely correct, but from the perspective of human nature, this is a manifestation of Xuanzong's loss of humanity.

Wang Yuan was almost certain that in Xuanzong's mind, he obviously trusted Fang Xuan more than himself, but just like Ma Weipo, Xuanzong's choice was always the one that was beneficial to him, and he would not give up the situation that was beneficial to him for the sake of the person he loved. This is the terrible thing about Xuanzong, this is the reason why he was able to sit on the throne and is still in power today, this is the way of the emperor as an emperor.

The act of killing Fang Xuan was undoubtedly to appease his anger and reassure his own heart. Xuanzong knows this better than anyone else. So when Fang Xuan said that, he actually couldn't live. Because Xuanzong wanted to tell Wang Yuan with Fang Xuan's head that he trusted him, and no one would be allowed to slander their relationship between monarchs and ministers. And the reason why Wang Yuan didn't kill him on the spot was because he knew that Xuanzong would definitely kill him for himself. As a result, it turned out to be.

Fang Xuan is dead, although this is the goal that Wang Yuan must achieve. But this matter has evolved to this point, Wang Yuan did not have the slightest joy in his heart, but was even more worried. Although Fang Xuan's words were unscrupulous in a hurry, I am afraid that this was the words that had lingered in his heart for a long time. Not only him, but also from Xuanzong to the ministers, many people may also think the same way in their hearts. The familiar phrase 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes' contains how many turbulent waves, how much hostility and hatred. And this sentence is afraid that after he drove from Ma Weipo, it has been lingering in the hearts of many people.

Although Wang Yuan pretended not to care on the outside, in fact, Wang Yuan cared very much in his heart. Although Wang Yuan, the thought of Zhongjun, is disdainful, after all, in this era, you must follow the rules of this era. And in these years, the most criticized thing is rebellion and disloyalty. Wang Yuan knew that he was unruly, but he really didn't think about rebelling and being a disloyal minister. All his actions are based on the goal of not letting the fate of himself, his family and friends be controlled by others. And for this goal, Wang Yuan's performance must be strong.

Now although Xuanzong ordered Fang Xuan to be killed, Fang Xuan's words were a big hat on his head, and it became a heart disease in the hearts of Xuanzong and his ministers. And once this heart disease starts, there is no place for him to die.

Wang Yuan has not yet come up with a solution to this dilemma. He could choose to be respectful, or simply surrender his military power. But Wang Yuan knew that in that case, he would die even worse. Wang Yuan has always adhered to the concept of making himself strong and controlling his own destiny, and he has come to this day step by step. Now once you give up halfway, all your efforts will come to naught, and you and your family will become the targets of others bullying at will, which is absolutely unacceptable to Wang Yuan. This era is an era of cannibalism, and only if you have harder fists and stronger strength can you protect yourself. It is unrealistic to count on the kindness of others.

Wang Yuan decided not to think about it anymore, at least at present, Xuanzong did not dare to attack himself, he had soldiers in his hands, and Xuanzong had to look at his face. The future will be talked about in the future, and Wang Yuan can't think about it so much for the time being.

Wang Yuan weighed the impact and pros and cons of this incident. Needless to say, this matter will cause a huge shock in the court, and everyone will attribute Fang Xuan's death to the source of the king. The advantage is that Wang Yuan will greatly enhance his authority in the court, and I am afraid that no one will dare to do those things that will drag him back in the future. But the downside is that this incident has made Wang Yuan's originally moderate role suddenly rise to the level of a powerful minister, which will make Wang Yuan feel frightening and difficult to accept in the eyes of the ministers.

People will sympathize with the weak, I am afraid that some people in the court will not reflect on why Fang Xuan died, and will not blame His Majesty for ordering Fang Xuan to be executed. Rather, it is to attribute all of this to the king's source. Not only will there be pity and sympathy for Fang Xuan, but also for Xuanzong and King Shou.
