Chapter One Thousand and Forty-Four: I won't admit it

Standing on the roof of the wind and rain building by the lotus pond in Changchun Garden, you can see the golden roof of the Taiji Palace in the distance. The distance between these two places is actually not very close, but in Chang'an City, whether it is Changchun Garden or Taiji Palace, it seems that they can affect the fate of many people. No matter who takes over these two places, there will be people who will rise and there will be people who will fall.

Fang Xie stood on the third floor of the wooden building, holding on to the railing and looking at the Taiji Palace in the distance.

It only occurred to him that he had become so cold. When he was in Fan Gu City, and even before he arrived in Fan Gu, I was afraid that he would not do such a thing as he did now. At that time, he still maintained the simplicity brought from his previous life to a large extent in his heart, but now, Fang Xie felt that he was transforming into another self.

A self lurking in the heart, ready to come out and control this body.

Mu San came up from downstairs cautiously with the corner of his brocade clothes, his steps were very light and light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the silent night, or perhaps he was afraid of disturbing the young man who was standing on the third floor and seemed to be looking down on the world from afar.

Mu San knew what the brocade robe on his body meant, and because of this, his respect for that young man had reached an incomprehensible level. Since ancient times, no eunuch in the palace has ever worn a dignified four-grade official uniform. Even the powerful Bingbi eunuch Wu Beisheng during the reign of Zhenzong of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the eunuch Su Buxing, who won his trust during the reign of Emperor Tianyou, never had such glory.

In the eyes of outsiders, eunuchs are still eunuchs even if they are reused by the emperor. It is impossible to have the same reward as a courtier, because the court will not allow an unsound person to appear in the court with others.

"The Lord"

Mu San stood behind Fang Xie and leaned over and screamed deeply.

Every time he was summoned by Fang Jie, Mu San had a pilgrimage-like mentality. Every time he saw Fang Jie, he couldn't help but kneel down and worship.

"Mu San, what do you think of standing here looking at Taiji Palace?"

Mu San straightened up and glanced at it quickly, and then quickly lowered his head: "The slave's vision is too low, even if you stand on this high place, you can't see any difference." But the slave had an idea in her heart...... Standing on the outside of the Taiji Palace and looking at it, no matter how beautiful it is, it is better to sit in the Taiji Hall and not see the full beauty of the Taiji Palace. ”

Fang Xie glanced back at Mu San and smiled.

"It's a grievance to be able to say this, so that you only do some trivial things in the palace."

"No matter what the slave does, as long as she does it for the lord. There is no trivial matter in the affairs of the lord, so he is not wronged, but only afraid. ”

If these words were said by someone else, Fang Xie might feel a little disgusting in his heart. But when it came out of Mu San's mouth, it was so natural and natural.

"Although you have put on a four-rank official uniform, you are still outside the imperial court. I've always wanted to find a reason for you to join the court, but you also know that those people's minds are not easy to turn around. You have to make some more contributions, so that I can make you stand there justifiably, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks. ”

"Thank you, lord!"

Mu San hurriedly bowed.

He knew that he had something very important to do, and to be honest, he had always felt that he had lived in the dark of life in Chang'an City for the two years before, and every day might be the day before death, which he couldn't bear. But when the Black Flag Army entered the city, the feeling of clearing the clouds and mist was indescribable. He finally understood a truth, it is not terrible to do dangerous things, because there are rich rewards for doing dangerous things.

"Is there anyone else in your family?"

Fang asked.

"There is no family anymore, but there is still an uncle, the uncle has two sons in the family, one is named Mu Liao, who is in his thirties, and I heard that there are already two male babies. The second son is called Mu Zhong and has three female babies. But I haven't been in touch for a long time, and I'm in the war in Gyeonggi Province, and I don't know if they are still at home. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "I asked Chen Xiaoru to send someone to investigate, and everyone was brought to Chang'an City." From the two sons of your cousin Mu Liao, you choose one to succeed to you. I'll give you an errand to do, and I'll give you a county title, hereditary. ”

Mu San pounced and knelt down: "Slave maid...... The slave is grateful! ”

Fang Xie shook his head: "Get up, you have done a lot of things with me, these things should have been given to you." It's just that this is the case in this world, just because you are not healthy, you will be discriminated against. So if you want to come out, you have to put in twice or even several times more effort than others. As long as you have this perseverance, I will give you this future. ”

"Don't worry, the life of the slave and maid is yours, no matter what you order, the slave and maid are willing even if they die desperately."

"There's nothing to worry about...... As I said just now, although you are an official residence, people outside the court, even in the Black Flag Army, are people who stand on the outside and watch, and because you stand on the outside and watch, you see the people inside more clearly than the people inside. Tell me, how are these generals in the Black Flag Army? ”

Mu Sanben was waiting for Fang Xie to tell what to do, and was suddenly asked about this, and he was involuntarily stunned for a moment.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Fang Xie glanced at him and said.

……

……

"Let's talk about Dugu first."

Fang explained.

Mu San pondered for a while before he said very slowly: "I don't know much about Lord Dugu, the slave and maid. But what his subordinates heard from others were all praise, saying that Lord Dugu had the talent of a prime minister. This is not only said by the Black Flag Army, but also by the former courtiers in the court. To be able to convince those people in such a short period of time, it is not easy for Lord Dugu to be convinced. ”

He used these three words.

"Anything else?"

Fang asked.

"This, the slave really can't say well. Lord Dugu has the ability to learn and learn, otherwise the lord would not be so reused. However, the slave maid just felt that Lord Dugu seemed to have too much of a burden on his body, and he was the busiest person at this time. He had to do things in the Black Flag Army, things to do in tidying up the court, things to do in the resettlement places, military and civil affairs, and I heard that he didn't sleep more than two hours a day. ”

Fang Xie nodded.

"Let's talk about Chen Xiaoru."

Mu San pondered for a longer time this time: "Chen Dutong can lead the Xiao Riding School so well, and his ability is naturally beyond doubt." Even, the slave felt that he was better than Luo Ye and Hou Wenji, who were in charge of the Ouchi guard before. Luo Ye does not look at the overall situation well and deals with the details well enough, so there are often mistakes below the county level. Hou Wenji is very delicate, but because of the fineness, the overall situation is not good enough, the two of them are a perfect match, and Yang Yi arranged for the two of them to work together for this consideration. It's a pity that the two of them seem to be close, but in fact, no one trusts anyone, so the intelligence of the Ouchi Guards has always been out of Luo Weiran's control. ”

Chen Dutong did a better job than the two of them, he knew how much power Lu Dao should give to the people below, and he also knew how much trust Lu Dao gave to the people below. There are thirteen thousand households in front of the Xiao Riding School, and no one says that Chen Dutong is unfair, which is an extremely rare thing in itself. When I was in the palace before, there were dozens of people behind a eunuch in charge of a hundred and ten old and weak raccoon rooms, and it was not easy to manage people well. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Talk about the shortcomings." ”

Mu San thought for a while and said, "Disadvantages...... Perhaps because of his background in the Ouchi Guard, Chen Dutong's dark aura is too heavy. I like to do everything in the dark, not in the open. So once the person who is targeted by Chen Dutong must be unhappy. ”

Fang Xie snorted: "Let's talk about Wu Yiyi." ”

Mu San's face changed, and after being silent for a long, long time, he shook his head: "The slave doesn't dare to say a word about Sanjin Hou, because the slave and maid ...... Can't see through. ”

Fang Xie smiled, he understood what Mu San meant. According to normal people's thinking, with Wu Yiyi's power, if he wants to rebel, there is no need to be close to Fang Xie at all, you must know that Fang Xie was just a small fish at that time, and there are so many dragons in the Central Plains, anyone can turn over. Even if Wu Yiyi organized a rebellion on his own, it seemed that it was easier than choosing to help Fang Xie at that time. After all, following Fang Jie, he has offended too many big families, and many of the potential strengths of the goods in the world cannot be brought into play.

That's why Mu San will say, I can't see through.

"I have asked Sanjin Hou to select three hundred elites from the world, and then let Xiang Qingniu choose one hundred people, and I will select another hundred people from Qilin's Jingbu camp, a total of five hundred people for you...... From this day forward, these five hundred will do what you command, and their lives and deaths are in your hands. ”

"Lord...... What does a slave do? ”

Mu San asked nervously.

"Whether it's people in the court or people from the Black Flag Army, you have the right to investigate, but it's all in the dark. Including Dugu, including Chen Xiaoru. These people of yours exist, and even the Xiao Riding School can't know the way. If this news leaks out, I won't admit it and I'll kill you. ”

Mu San's shoulders trembled involuntarily in fright, but soon the excitement in his heart replaced nervousness and fear.

"I'm going to rebuild the Martial Arts Academy, and after a while, these five hundred people will be transferred to the Martial Arts Academy under other names. You don't need to train these people, and you can't train them anything. In terms of martial arts, these people are the elite of one in a hundred. Mentally, it is natural to choose the best person. I will ask Luo Weiran to train them in the mountain behind the Martial Arts Academy, so that they can do how to become an invisible person. ”

"The slave and maid have learned the truth."

Mu San immediately reacted: "It's like when the Ouchi guards were in the office, there were a group of ordinary people, they didn't have martial arts, but they were all very strong killers, and no one would care about them, because they wouldn't be conspicuous no matter where they were." ”

"Hmm"

Fang Xie nodded: "That's why I thought of letting Luo Weiran train them, remember the right I gave you, your people have nothing else to do, just in the dark like flies staring at food, staring at every official." You report the news directly to me alone, and no one can mobilize you except me. ”

"Yes!"

Mu San nodded heavily: "So...... Is it really anyone who can check it? ”

Fang Xie glanced at him: "I know that you want an identity or even a warrant I gave you, so that you can act well." But I won't give you any of that, and I won't even admit to having this conversation with you. ”

Mu San obviously hesitated, and then leaned over: "The slave understands." ”

……

……

Sanjin Houfu

Wu Yi pushed the door and walked into the room of Jiu Se Cai, and glanced at the wine Se Cai who greeted him with a smile: "Are you better from your injuries?" ”

The wine color Cai shook the fat on his body: "It's already so good, does the master have something to order?" ”

Wu Yiyi shook his head: "I don't have anything to order, but I have something to ask you." ”
