Zhu Di is crazy.

Xiao Fan knew that he must be pretending to be crazy, and he was just crazy before the arrival of the Qin Cha, firstly, in order to eliminate the suspicion of the Son of Heaven about the vassal king, to suspend the rhythm of the imperial court's cutting of the domain, and secondly, in order to confuse the eyes of the world, if the Qin Cha died in Beiping, who would suspect that it was the hand of the madman Wang?

Xiao Fan even guessed that this idea was helped by Monk Daoyan to Zhu Di, that dead bald donkey, who always had bad ideas to harm people, he must be eliminated as soon as possible!

Of course, this is a later story, and the most important thing at present is to save his surname in the tiger and wolf nest in Beiping.

Of course, Xiao Fan would not really rush into the Yanwang Mansion, and not far from leading the pro-army into the city, he was stopped by the angry Zhang Yu.

"Lord Qincha, the prince is suffering from a serious illness, and I will not see the guests!" Zhang Yu gasped.

Xiao Fan blinked his eyes and said innocently: "I'm not a guest, I'm his son-in-law, he won't see my ......"

"Forgive the end of the rudeness, I haven't heard the prince say that he has your son-in-law......" Zhang Yu said hard.

Xiao Fan praised: "The prince is too low-key, and the officials admire him very much......

Zhang Yu stretched out his hand to block it, stopped Xiao Fan very rudely, and said coldly: "Lord Qincha, please also pay attention to your demeanor, the prince is sick, and it is not appropriate to see uninvited guests......"

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "I am a dignified imperial court, and I have become an uninvited guest when I inspect the northern border on behalf of the Son of Heaven?" This official has the holy decree of the Son of Heaven to reward the prince, if he does not see the guest, to whom shall I declare the decree? Or...... It's okay to ask the prince's descendants to take the decree on his behalf. ”

Zhang Yu suddenly became angry, the three sons of the prince were all detained by you in the Beijing Division, where can I find the prince to take over the order on his behalf? Aren't you angry?

"The last general...... After the last general reports to the prince, he will decide who will take the order. ”

Xiao Fan smiled: "Isn't the prince crazy?" How do you report to him? ”

"This ...... The prince occasionally has a time when he is sober. Zhang Yu's forehead sweated slightly.

Xiao Fan smiled happily: "The prince is really a good man, then the official will wait for the prince to wake up, and then announce the decree to him." Please get sick slowly, the official has time, don't be in a hurry. ”

met with the officials of Beiping, and Zhang Yu gave Xiao Fan and his party a reception on behalf of King Yan.

The feast was very dull, Xiao Fan had a strange feeling of having dinner with wolves, he felt like a little sheep, surrounded by wolves, those eyes with a faint green light, as if he could eat himself alive at any time.

This is Beiping, is the nest of King Yan, the officials and generals of Beiping Mansion have completely stood on the same front with Zhu Di, they are hostile to the imperial court, everyone tacitly knows, King Yan is the co-master of the world in their hearts, the dragon chair on the Jinluan Hall in Nanjing City, King Yan will sit on it sooner or later.

Xiao Fan understands all this very well, coming to Beiping to reward the vassal king is a fateful thing, from the unkind eyes of these people during the banquet, he can see that these people have regarded him as an enemy, as a stumbling block to prevent King Yan from winning the world.

Xiao Fan's heart is very heavy, the attitude of these people has clearly shown that their ambitions are expanding, they are ready to go, and they are ready to rebel at any time!

What a difficult road ahead!

After the dinner, Zhang Yu arranged for Xiao Fan and his party to live in Qincha Xingyuan, which was temporarily set up in Jietai Temple.

Jietai Temple was built in the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty, it is the Buddhist temple with the longest history in Beiping, it is located in the west side of Beiping City, the scenery in the temple is pleasant, the scenery is beautiful, there is a set of separate large courtyards behind the temple, it is the place where Zhu Diping, the king of Yan, is planted, there are all kinds of peonies and peonies in the courtyard, as soon as you enter, you can feel the rich fragrance of flowers, the eyes are a thousand purples and thousands of reds, as if you are in paradise as comfortable.

I have to say that Zhu Di did not make things difficult for Xiao Fan in such trivial matters as food and accommodation, no matter how much he hated Xiao Fan, as a prince, he also had the cultivation and demeanor of a child of the royal family, he was unwilling or disdainful to embarrass his enemies in this way.

The courtyard behind the temple is similar to a quadrangle, and the three rows of side rooms enclose a "mouth" shape, sitting in the north and facing south, and the environment is elegant.

ordered 3,000 pro-troops to set aside most of them to be stationed outside Beiping City, and after Taixu, Zhang Sanfeng and Fang Xiaoru settled down, Xiao Fan temporarily stayed in this Qincha Xingyuan.

It was late at night, Xiao Fan had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and a worry that he had never felt before gradually surfaced between his eyebrows.

Zhu Di pretended to be crazy and didn't want to see him, what should he do next?

Xiao Fan didn't expect Zhu Di to deal with the Qin Messenger sent by the imperial court in this way, how did Dao Yan's genius come up with this trick? I'd love to cut it off and study it...... The summer night in Beiping was colder than in Jingshi, standing in the middle of the courtyard with his hands in his hands, Xiao Fan felt a chill for no reason, and he couldn't tell whether this chill came from his body or his heart, he couldn't help but shiver.

A hand was on Xiao Fan's shoulder, Xiao Fan turned around and saw Fang Xiaoru looking at him with a smile, his smile was very kind, like a wise elder looking at a child with a sad face.

Xiao Fan smiled bitterly: "Lord Fang, when you come to Beiping, you can count it as entering the wolf's den, we are struggling......

Fang Xiaoru smiled and said, "Do you know why the old man has to follow you to Beiping?" ”

Xiao Fan touched his nose and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to see if I was the legendary Annihilator?" ”

"This is just a statement, King Yan's ambition is known to the world, the old man is responsible for assisting the new monarch, how can he watch the emperor's uncle usurp his nephew's country? This is a disregard for human ethics, a great rebellion, we uphold the thousand-year-old sage 'monarch and ministers' way, is it a lie and empty words? The world says that I praise the great Confucianism, since I bear the name of the great Confucian, I must do my best to maintain the inheritance of Confucianism for thousands of years, and the orthodoxy of the society established by the first emperor, what did the Son of Heaven send you to Beiping to do, the old man has some bottom in his heart, but the old man sees you as a weak crown young man, it is inevitable to act impulsively and negligently, if you lose your surname because of this, the fate is small, and the strategy of the Son of Heaven is a big ......"

Xiao Fan's eyes widened and said, "So, this is the reason why you came to Peking with me?" ”

Fang Xiaoru said with a smile: "As the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, with a bad old man like me by your side, it will not hurt you after all, we can discuss everything more thoroughly, maybe it can make you take fewer detours, what do you say?" ”

Xiao Fan looked at Fang Xiaoru's indifferent smile, and suddenly felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Some people are at the height of the temple, only know how to point fingers at the government and state affairs, make nonsense, and their words and deeds are naïve and naïve, and they don't realize that he is harming others and themselves, and they are still doing things to exclude dissidents from the court in the name of loyal ministers, such as Huang Zicheng.

Some people are willing to go to the danger of the rivers and lakes, just to maintain the Confucian orthodoxy and social orthodoxy that they respect, even if they are in danger, they have no regrets, he has never boasted that he is a loyal minister, but everything he has done is seen by others, and he has a lot of respect for him invisibly. This kind of person is powerless, but he is a true warrior.

Xiao Fan looked at Fang Xiaoru fixedly, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "In this way, Lord Fang doesn't think I'm a Zhanchen?" ”

Fang Xiaoru looked at him deeply, and said: "A young man with a weak crown, sighing to the moon at night, and full of sadness for the completion of the Son of Heaven's entrustment, such a person, no matter how the old man looks at it, he doesn't think he is a minister, Lord Xiao, I heard that the first emperor once gave you the word 'cunyi', you, you did it." ”

Xiao Fan's eyes suddenly turned red, and a feeling of finally being understood arose.

He doesn't care about other people's misunderstandings, he thinks that things that should be insisted on never retreat because of other people's opinions, but for a long time, in the court referred to by Qianfu, he has always been a lonely existence, he thought that he might be lonely until he left this filthy court, but he didn't expect that in this foreign place, there is a person who can see everything he has paid silently with an insightful eye.

Isn't this the confidant of life?

Xiao Fan's eyes were red, wiping his tears and said, "Lord Fang...... Since I'm not a minister, I kidnapped you and abused you on the road, so I don't have to report it to the Son of Heaven when I go back, right? The Son of Heaven said that there are many opportunities, and he really has no time to ......"

Fang Xiaoru suddenly changed color and said, "Don't even think about it!" One yard to one yard! This matter is back to Jingshi, the old man is not finished with you! ”

Xiao Fan: "............"

This is a very principled bad old man, and cultural people can't afford to provoke him.............................. "King Yan pretended to be crazy to show me this Qincha, whether I believe it or not, I must tell the court the fact that King Yan is crazy, so that it can have the effect of paralyzing the Son of Heaven and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and it is impossible for a crazy vassal king to rebel." At the same time, King Yan pretended to be crazy and hid the next killing machine, if Qin Cha died in Beiping, no one would think that it had anything to do with the madman Wangye, and King Yan escaped the blame of the world, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and it is very vicious......" Xiao Fan said worriedly.

Fang Xiaoru frowned and said, "This is the predicament we are currently in?" ”

Xiao Fan nodded: "Yes, I was ordered to patrol the border this time, nominally to reward the vassal king, but in fact, to appease the delay, and understand the strength of the king of Yan, so that the court can come up with effective coping strategies in the future, and now the king of Yan is pretending to be crazy, which shows that he does not trust the court's reward and appeasement, if he does not express his position, I will not be able to move an inch in Beiping, and I will be constrained everywhere, and the purpose of my coming to Beiping will not be able to be achieved......"

"So, King Yan's madness is the key?"

Xiao Fan nodded heavily: "I have to see him, and then force him to recover from his madness." ”

Fang Xiaoru smiled and said, "Since King Yan is pretending to be crazy, how can you force him to recover?" ”

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "As long as I see him, I naturally have a way, but it's a pity that King Yan's pro-army will definitely surround King Yan's mansion, I beg for nothing, and I don't dare to break in, it's a lot of nerves......"

Fang Xiaoru thought about it, and his smile suddenly floated a little bit of the taste of old and slick.

"It's not that difficult to see King Yan...... Hehe, the old man is not a good person when he sees you, he doesn't see you, won't you figure it out by yourself? ”

Xiao Fan was unhappy: "Why am I not a good type?" Do I have the word bad guy engraved on my head? ”

After a pause, Xiao Fan looked at Fang Xiaoru's equally non-kind smile, and said carefully: "What can you do?" ”

Fang Xiaoru stroked his black beard, looked dignified, and said leisurely: "If you make a fuss in Beiping, the old man will not believe that King Yan can still bear not to see you." ”

Xiao Fan thought about it when he heard this, and was immediately overjoyed.

raised his eyes and looked at Fang Xiaoru, who was sitting like a righteous gentleman, and Xiao Fan felt like a confidant.

This old man, named the great Confucian of the world, Mr. Zhengxue, didn't expect him to be a bad belly gurgling and bubbling, it's too bad.

Xiao Fan looked left and right, and felt that Fang Xiaoru was quite temperamental to himself, and everyone was a gentleman with a bad heart hidden under the appearance.

Xiao Fan couldn't help but pat Fang Xiaoru's shoulder and sighed: "Old Fang, you are a good person, I admire you so much, it's a pity, Old Fang, you have a stain in my heart that has been blocked, it's really embarrassing......"

Fang Xiaoru was stunned and said, "What is the stain on the old man?" ”

Xiao Fan sighed and said, "You shouldn't!" Why do you say that you have to force King Yan to punish your ten clans? The surnames of more than 800 people in your old Fang family were wiped out by your words, you are cold-blooded! ”

Fang Xiaoru's hand holding his beard tugged angrily, and he tore off a strand of green beard, and his face twitched in pain: "............"
