In 580 AD, the 11th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty collapsed in the Tiande Palace.

I don't know who it was, but an order was issued: The news of Emperor Zhou Tianyuan's death is not allowed to be spread for the time being.

The weather was already very hot, and because of the Tao order, it made people feel even more out of breath.

Emperor Xuan went to Tianxing Palace the night before, and the next day he said that he had a sore throat and hurried back.

Tianxing Palace is a palace, that is, the emperor's villa, far outside the imperial city. I went the first day and rushed back the next day, which means that the disease should be very serious.

At that time, there was a record of celestial phenomena, not the current weather forecast, but it was said that two days ago, there was a large meteor in the sky, which fell into the wing constellation of the southern Suzaku, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a sound, and its sound was like the wind, and it actually stirred the flag.

Of course, this kind of statement that seems to be true is just a certain paragraph that has existed since ancient times, and is indispensable in the emperor's obituary.

I don't know if there is such a big movement in the sky, but since the Western Zhou Dynasty, it has been used as the capital of Qin, Western Han, Former Zhao, Former Qin, Later Qin, Western Wei, etc., and many dynasties, in the forbidden palace of the imperial city high in people's minds, there is the cry of women who lowered their voices.

At this time, the eunuchs of all sizes, bowed their heads and hooked their waists, and their feet seemed to be smeared with oil, walking very fast, but they would not make any sound, this is kung fu, just like the superior martial arts of Ling Bo's virtual steps.

Emperor Xuan's personal favorite, Liu Fang, the little Yuzheng, and Yan Zhiyi, the doctor of Yuzheng, arrived at the first time.

Although they are out of breath, they must remain calm at this time, and their steps must not be disordered.

In addition to the two of them, there is another important person who should be there at this important moment.

However, he has not yet arrived.

And that strict order made it very clear that it was not allowed to spread the slightest rumor from the palace about this important matter of the country that was happening now.

Although the layers of gates of the palace are all cracked.

The people who arrived first, as well as the eunuchs and palace maids who were busy inside and out, couldn't help but be a little frightened because of the sense of mystery and depression caused by this strict order.

However, it seems that the person who hid behind and gave this strict order was playing with his heartbeat.

And this Brother Liu Fang, although he is usually cunning and scheming, he also feels a little nervous at this time, because he is not sure about what he wants to do.

Of course, just a few days ago, this benevolent brother and this scholar Yan who came with him were edicted to be in the forbidden place in the palace, in the secret room specially drafted the edict, ready to accept the emperor's summons.

But after arriving, he found that the emperor was not here.

There was a eunuch who came to lead the way, saying that the emperor was in the palace.

Emperor Zhou Tianyuan named the place where he stayed "Tiantai" because he was Emperor Tianyuan.

The emperors of heaven and earth are all him, so the place where he sleeps naturally has to be ordered by the word heaven.

When the two arrived, they were shocked by what they saw: the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the supreme ruler of a vast empire in charge of tens of millions of people, was lying on a dragon couch, terminally ill, unable to speak.

Seeing this, the two of them suddenly became speechless.

However, after all, the two of them have been in officialdom for a long time, and they soon understood: something big happened.

At this time, the emperor summoned these two people to the front, and suddenly made them the key figures in the current empire.

For Brother Liu Fang, this sudden event will make him show his face in the world, and bring him greater glory and wealth later, which he thought of in a blink of an eye.

This country, which was killed in turmoil and established by force, its predecessor ruler, the eloquent Emperor Wu of Zhou, has such an unassuming son Yu Wenyun, that is, the current Emperor Xuan of Zhou, who is about to run out of breath.

Because his behavior is too absurd, and he is known for his ** and shamelessness, there is no talent around him, and there is no talent worth using, otherwise it would not be the turn of Liu Fang, a person who digs the foot of the country's wall, to have such an opportunity.

Facts have proved that it is not an ordinary digging of the foot of the wall, and what it does can be called an ancient house developer who directly uses a bulldozer to demolish the house.

At that time, of course, there were no bulldozers, but their actions can indeed be called pioneering and keep up with the trend of the times.

However, with a forward-looking perspective, there may not be anything wrong with this Liu Fangkai, who eats inside and out, to engage in development and accept new ones.

Therefore, he can say that he is ready to let go of his hands.

Of course, it's not that simple.

In order to open houses, we must first do a good job of demolition and relocation.

To deal with the demolished, it is important to look at the strength.

The composition of strength, before entering the substantive stage, must first look at whether there is a demolition person qualification.

This Liu Fangkai, the official is a small minister, although the official is not big, but he is a close confidant of Emperor Zhou, just by virtue of this, he is undoubtedly a genuine product on the road.

Of course, this is also something that this Liu Fangkai sometimes has to do in his life, although he only has "four lives" in the official residence.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty imitated the system of six officials in the "Zhou Li", and the size of the official was divided into "nine lives", "one life" was the lowest, and "nine lives" was the most respectful.

In this official system, Otsuka Zaiqing is the main official, and the official rank is "seven lives", and Xiaoqing is in the middle of the Qing Zhengshang and middle doctors below Otsuka Zai, so his official residence "four lives" can only be regarded as the deputy minister of personal affairs, not the fate.

Compared with Yan Zhiyi, the doctor of Yuzhengzhong who came with him, this boss of Fang Kai is actually one level lower. But he can only be one step away from the emperor, two steps closer than Yan Qingzheng, and that is enough.

Although Yan Qingzheng couldn't walk in front of Liu Fangkai, at this time, he was ahead of all the other ministers, but his thoughts were not the same as Liu Fangkai.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time, Qingzheng's responsibilities were mainly to draft edicts and participate in decision-making.

In Liu Fangkai's thinking, this important opportunity is, in fact, related to an important housing development project.

It is unknown whether this was conceived by Liu Fangkai in this short period of time with his extraordinary and keen business mind.

Although he did contract the project later.

And the current landlord, who was speechless, actually fell in love with Liu Fangkai's intentions.

If you can't say it, it's best to say it, if you can't say it, you can let someone else say it, as for whether you are faithful to the original word, it is unfounded, and the so-called death has no proof, that's what it means.

How could this man be?

This has nothing to do with Liu Fang's life experience.

His father, Liu Mengliang, was the great Sinon, the official in charge of silk and linen and tribute, one of the six kings, and was the hero of the Northern Zhou Dynasty founded with Zhou Taizu Yuwentai.

Therefore, this old man is the so-called "Eight Banners Disciple", the second generation of officials, therefore, compared with the surname Yan, although he is one level younger, he ranks high.

This is the law of officialdom blood of Lao Tzu's heroes and heroes.

And the second-ranked Yan Zhiyi (AD 523-591), the character Zisheng, Lang Xie Linyi people, that is, Linyi County, Shandong Province.

Although he is the ninth grandson of Yan Han in the Jin Dynasty, after the Jin Dynasty, the service was equivalent to the prime minister, but when it comes to the bloodline relationship of the official, it is really a bit impossible to beat.

If you want to say that the closest is his grandfather Yan Jianyuan, who was the secretary of the imperial history of Qi, but that was only an inconspicuous official who was mainly responsible for picketing the court meeting late, wearing the wrong clothes, not queuing and other things, so this bit of prominence of the ancestor is not easy to bring to the table to show off.

However, this Yan family is rich in scholars, and his brother is Yan Zhitui, a university scholar, if he is not familiar with this person, then among the descendants of the Yan family in the future, the famous calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, and the hero of the fight against An Lushan, Yan Zhenqing, who is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, cannot be said to be unfamiliar, because now primary school students practice calligraphy, and it is a compulsory course to post this great calligrapher.

And to say that the old man Yan Jianyuan, of course, did not see far at this time, a few decades later, his grandson, this Yan nerd, an official at the first level, was short of breath, and followed the butt of the boss Liu Fang, the son of the gentleman, and was covered in sweat.

However, the world is unpredictable, and later Boss Liu originally made a fortune, but soon let the new landlord see that he was not a good bird.

When the catastrophe came, he blamed his father for the name "Fang" for him, but he didn't expect it to become one of the reasons for harming Qingqing's life.

Therefore, there is now a business that specializes in choosing names for people, and based on the I Ching, just to prevent similar mistakes from happening.

Of course, that's all for later.

Was it the emperor's summons a few days ago that made Liu Xiaoqing decide to open a house, I don't know, the idea of doing business is a bit unknown.

After that summons, when they came out together, Liu Fangkai wanted to call Comrade Yan comrade, but this person didn't say anything, and left him alone.

To say that on the day of the emperor's accident, the weather was too hot, and it was only May, which is a bit abnormal.

Emperor Xuan of Zhou, Yu Wenyun, that is, Brother Yun, asked the eunuchs to take up the holy drive and go to his summer palace, named Tianxing Palace, to escape the heat and cool off.

But I don't want to be able to get up early the next morning, saying that I am sick.

No one could tell what happened last night, but Emperor Xuan suddenly had a sore throat, so he could only return to the palace in a hurry.

As for what kind of disease he has, probably only Brother Yun himself knows best.

The thought that may have crossed his mind was: I'm afraid it's time to come.

So he summoned Xiao Yuzheng Liu Fangkai and the middle doctor Yan Zhiyi into the bedroom together, saying that they wanted to plan for the future.

This kind of thing is indeed not trivial, and it scared the two of them all over at that time.

Although Liu Xiaoqing is cynical, he does not dare to slack off in the face of this kind of thing.

Because his current qiē is given by Brother Yun, they have the same hobbies in many ways and have a common language, so they are confidants.

And at such a time, whether it is reasonable or reasonable, it is the time for him to contribute.

But things were not coincidental, when they arrived panting, Brother Yun had a sore throat, and he was speechless and speechless.

Faced with this situation, Liu Xiaoqing could only speak softly, with infinite loyal tears in his eyes, but he couldn't cry, tears swirled in his eyes, but it undoubtedly took effort to control it so that it couldn't fall.

This happened suddenly, it seems that Brother Yun is not good, but for a while, there is still some time.

Looks like there's something big going on.

This person who was regarded as a trustworthy person by Emperor Xuan, he also thought that he should have died as a scholar, but now he has changed, and he has become a busy confidant.

This change is because Liu Fangkai has changed his acquaintance.

He didn't want to be busy for the dying man right now.

Such a change is due to his judgment of the situation.

It's just that from the outside, it may seem that it has become a little too fast.

However, if you think about it carefully, you have to make an idea about the matter in front of you, and you can't just rely on Liu Fang's clever tricks to see the wind and rudder.

In short, when something like this happens, something is not quite right.
