If the door is like a city, it is no longer enough to describe the situation outside Fangjiazhuang now.

After the emperor's decree arrived, almost all the celebrities and high-ranking officials in the entire capital came.

Compared to the last time when he was a young master, it was more than twice as lively.

Many clan relatives have sent representatives, hoping to contact Fang Jue.

However, Fang Jue ignored them, except for a few courtiers who needed to communicate in government affairs, he turned them all away.

National Teacher, for Fang Jue, is just a more convenient title.

There were no surprises, even the Marquis of Frost, Fang Jue was not too rare, anyway, he didn't plan to let his children be hereditary.

How carefree is the Emperor's Pavilion?

Is there anyone who lacks the heart and eyes to let the child put a good freedom and wealth, and has to get involved in this chaotic situation?

Meat eaters despise, Fang Jue always remembers this sentence.

……

Guest Hall.

Fang Jue was feasting again, he had finally been crowned the national teacher, and the village wanted to set up a banquet, and the house would naturally also be placed.

However, the people who can come in and sit here are all real important ministers of the court.

Except for the officials of the Musket Bureau who needed to be kept secret, the courtiers who had friendships with Fang Jue were all here today.

Zhuge Qingshan is here again.

After eating a few glasses of wine, everyone got slightly drunk, and after a period of politeness, Fang Jue sent most of the guests away.

Only a few remained.

The rest of the people also had the foresight to see it, and knew that these people were going to talk deeply, and they also walked very happily.

"Congratulations to Lord Fang, now that he is in the position of a national teacher, he is truly on an equal footing with Zhuge Shoufu." Yan Lanfeng smiled.

Zhuge Qingshan smiled, didn't care, and said: "The national teacher also added the title of Marquis of Frost, a product, how can the old man compare?" ”

Although Zhuge Qingshan is already a very popular minister, he does not have a hereditary title.

Not to mention, it can be compared to this quality.

"After careful calculation, now the national teacher not only crowned the Marquis of Frost, but also led the two major books of the Musket Bureau and the Ministry of Industry...... There is also a general who conquered the north and rebelled...... Each of them is an official rank above the second grade. Lin Yanhai said.

Shangguan Ding is even more able to praise people: "The young master is so young, he is already a very human minister, and he will not be crowned king in the future!" ”

These words surprised everyone a little, and then fell silent, and then laughed.

"Hehe......"

Everyone didn't answer, they were afraid of ruining the fun.

Fang Jue was self-aware, and he didn't look forward to it: "Lord Shangguan has praised it falsely, the king with a different surname can't be lightly sealed, Ye Laoguo is a little worse, and I'm not the same?" ”

"Then the young master will change his surname to Xiao, then he will not be a king with a different surname, hiccup!" Xiao Chaoguo seemed to be drunk, and he actually said this, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Fang Jue glanced at him and knew that this Xiao Shouzao still had some doubts hidden in his heart, and he would be tempted from time to time.

The others, not understanding the meaning, just laughed vigorously.

"Haha, Xiao Shouzuo is really joking, the surname is given by his parents' clan, how can it be easily changed!" Lin Yanhai frowned and scolded lightly, he was the most sensitive to etiquette.

Anything that violates the etiquette system, Lin Yanhai is qualified to comment, who made him the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette.

Zhuge Qingshan said with a smile: "What Lin Shangshu said is very true, Lord Xiao should not make such a joke. ”

"It's okay, it's just a joke." Fang Jue waved his hand, not caring.

Xiao Chaoguo paused slightly, and immediately confessed.

After this episode, a few more glasses of wine were served, and the people present seemed to be really drunk one by one.

for they have not spoken.

Even if you drink alcohol, you won't say more if you shouldn't say it, so that such a person can sit high.

Only Su Lin slowly spoke: "Lord Fang, don't worry, in the assassination case, the Criminal Department has a charter, and some clues have been found......"

"It's time for the New Year, don't be in a hurry about this matter, take your time." Fang Jue did not urge the criminal department.

Because he already knew what range the murderer was, he had already asked the people of the Divine Hidden Alliance to check it, and there should be definite news back in the next two days.

"Farewell!"

"Come on, send a few adults home."

The guests of honor were happy, Fang Jue sent people to escort a few people, these were all important ministers of the imperial court, if he was assassinated on the way back from eating in Fangjiazhuang, then he would have to take the blame.

It's just that Fang Fu led people with his front feet and sent a few adults out of the house, and some people shrank back on his back feet.

Xiao Chaoguo suddenly turned back and was blocked by Dian Yi.

"I have something to tell the young master, no, to the national teacher." Xiao Chaoguo is upright, and he is not drunk.

Fang Jue had already returned to the study and said, "Bring a cup of tea and sober up Lord Xiao." ”

Dian Yi frowned slightly, a little worried, but thinking that the young master had so many "magic weapons", he also went to fetch tea with confidence.

He knew that this was the young master's intention to support himself, so that Xiao Chaoguo dared to say some secret things.

Sure enough, as soon as the dian left, Xiao Chaoguo immediately pushed open the door, and closed it carefully after entering the study.

Next to the bookcase, Fang Jue put down his pen, asked Xiao Chaoguo, and motioned for him to sit on the rattan chair beside him.

Xiao Chaoguo found a comfortable angle, sat down and glanced out the door, but he didn't see anyone through the window screen, making sure that no one was eavesdropping.

Cai said: "The lower official has a ...... thing"

Fang Jue put his hands under the table and said, "Lord Xiao, do you want to ask about the matter in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry that night?" ”

"No, no, no......" Xiao Chaoguo hurriedly waved his hand, he didn't dare to ask this, besides, how to ask?

Q: How did Fang Jue reach a tacit understanding or a deal with His Majesty?

Xiao Chaoguo originally felt that he knew too many things and didn't want to know more at all.

"That's not it," Fang Jue nodded clearly, "That is, ask me about my private matter?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Chaoguo became serious, sat upright, and said: "Although the lower official is not talented, he is also the master of the red coat, and he is also her superior...... I want to know, why did the National Teacher withdraw from the marriage, is it because you have been promoted and feel that the identity of the red coat is no longer worthy of you? ”

You?

Hearing this, Fang Jue smiled, he knew that this Xiao Shouzuo was here to ask for justice for his apprentice.

Perhaps, Xiao Chaoguo didn't know what the two said that day. But as a master and a Shangguan, Xiao Chaoguo wants to ask for clarification, this is an attitude.

The attitude of the calf.

For this Xiao Shouzuo, not to mention the things he did as a white glove for the emperor in his early years, Fang Jue still has a good impression of him.

Although he was repeatedly tempted, it was Xiao Chaoguo's duty, and Fang Jue never blamed him.

It was the same this time, although there was a gap with Ye Hongyi, Fang Jue didn't think Xiao Chaoguo was nosy.

"Xiao Shouzao is really a good teacher."

Fang Jue smiled: "But I want to ask, when did I say that I was going to withdraw from the marriage?" ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Chaoguo was stunned by the rhetorical question: "No, you didn't get married?" But why did you tear down the red letter and not prepare for marriage? ”

"It's just an indefinite delay."

Fang Jue said lightly: "I will not withdraw from the marriage, unless Ye Hongyi insists on withdrawing." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Chaoguo was even more puzzled: "Since you can't get married, why don't you quit?" ”

He was a little angry, feeling that Fang Jue was dragging it, deliberately letting everyone in the world know that Ye Hongyi was still Fang Jue's.

But he didn't get married, so Ye Hongyi could only be alone like this forever.

"I just gave her a question."

"What's the question?"

Fang Jue was silent: "A multiple-choice question." ”

"What to choose?"

Fang Jue said lightly: "Choose righteousness or loyalty." ”

"This!" Xiao Chaoguo's eyes were split, and he was horrified, and hurriedly lowered his voice, "The national teacher can't talk nonsense!" ”
