Chapter 106: Plotting Privately
But then she turned around, Fu Shen must have said those words on purpose, if Huan didn't come, she might not have heard such strange words.
When he was out of his mind, a familiar person suddenly appeared in the afterglow. Lan Fu hurriedly stopped the carriage and turned around and said, "Third master, it's here." β
Fu Shen lifted the curtain and glanced around: "I will choose a place." β
It is located in the middle of nowhere, but the roads extend in all directions, and there is only a shadowy courtyard not far away. In front of the door stood a little girl of seven or eight years old, squatting on the ground and playing with mud.
Huan Ci helped Fu Shen get out of the carriage, only to feel a gust of wind coming, this place is much cooler than other places.
Fu Shen had already prepared, unfolded his cloak and wrapped her, and then took her hand and walked towards the courtyard.
The little girl noticed the two from afar, and only blinked and looked at them warily. Fu Shen walked over and bent down to look at her, and his tone was extremely gentle: "Girl, is your father and mother not at home?" β
"It's in the house." With that, she lowered her head and went to play with the mud.
Huan Ci and Fu Shen glanced at each other, pushed open the wooden door and entered the courtyard.
There was a tall man standing in the courtyard, Huan Ci thought he was the person Fu Shen wanted to see, but the man only glanced at them lightly, and then lowered his head to pick up the wood in his hand.
Seeing this, Fu Shen took two steps forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, someone opened the door from the inside, but Huan Ci couldn't see his appearance clearly.
She followed Fu Shen in, a little apprehensive in her heart. As soon as he stepped into the house, the door was gently shut, and the man who had just opened the door was nowhere to be seen.
There was a vague fragrance in the room, as if I had smelled it somewhere.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind.
Huan Ci jumped up like a fried cat, and looked back in surprise at the man who had appeared behind them at some point.
It turned out to be the law of the sect.
The man looked at Huan Ci with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You came with you too?" β
Huan Ci nodded subconsciously, and looked back at Fu Shen after reacting.
Fu Shen walked past her to Zong Zhenglu's side, and arched his hand: "Weichen has seen Your Majesty. β
"You don't have to make all this nonsense, sit down!" Zong Zhenglu took off his clothes and sat on the stool next to him. There was a pot of tea on the table, and the tea cup next to it was still steaming, thinking that he was sitting in this corner, so Huan Ci didn't see him.
The two of them walked over and sat down, Huan Ci's gaze swept back and forth over them.
Zong Zhenglu personally poured tea for them and handed it over, and asked with a smile: "Why did Ding'an run out now?" β
Huan Ci's eyelashes trembled, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip: "It's not that I don't worry about him." After speaking, she raised her head and smiled: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on your son." β
It's just that he is here now, maybe he won't be in the capital when the child is born.
Zong Zhenglu smiled silently.
"Your Majesty shouldn't be here." Fu Shen said suddenly.
Huan Ci turned his head to look at him when he heard this, only to see him staring at Zong Zhenglu fixedly, with a very strange expression.
"If I don't come again, I'm afraid this group of people will turn against the sky." Zong Zhenglu sneered.
Fu Shen's thin lips were pursed, and only the teacup in his hand was tightly squeezed to see his anger at the moment.
Huan Ci didn't know what they were talking about, and his gaze wandered between the two.
"How long does Your Majesty plan to stay?" Fu Shen asked.
Zong Zhenglu sneered: "Naturally, it will be when they plan to rebel." Not many people know my whereabouts now, but if they have the heart to find clues, it depends on whether they can hold on to them. It's justβ" He paused and looked up at Fu Shen: "I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you in this matter." β
"The minister will never give up." Fu Shen said firmly.
Huan Ci was still confused, and suddenly heard them start to plot a way to lure out the people behind Ji Shangshu. It turned out that that person was now hiding in Jizhou, but Huan Ci didn't know who he was, and he could command the court officials.
"According to the information from the informant, Li Qi is also in Jizhou now." Fu Shen said.
Huan Ci blinked, very surprised by the news.
Before she could hear about it, Zong Zhenglu was the first to speak: "It seems that my cousin has refused to give up so far. Emperor Yong's words are still not credible after all, since he can kill his own brother for the throne, then the agreement between us is naturally nothing to him. β
"Now that he has been on the throne for more than half a year, he will inevitably declare war again after his foundation is firmly established, and Your Majesty should plan for this matter as soon as possible." Fu Shen was worried.
"Now there is no military general in the DPRK who is worthy of a great responsibility, and I am very worried. When the cousin leaves, he will take away all the elite soldiers, and if he cultivates one at this time, I'm afraid it will be too late. β
As he spoke, Zong Zhenglu glanced back at Huan Ci. I'm afraid that the three people on the table all thought of Huan Yuan at this moment.
The room was gloomy because of this, until Zong Zhenglu asked softly, "I don't know what the relationship between Xuan Mo and the princess of the Yong Kingdom is?" β
Fu cautiously raised his eyelids, and then turned his head to look at Huan Ci.
This person hadn't heard this person's words for a long time, and now that Zong Zhenglu mentioned it, she remembered. Yu Wenjie has been in Rongguo for more than six months, but there is no news of marriage yet.
"Who does Your Majesty want her to marry?" Huan Ci asked curiously.
Zong Zhenglu looked at Fu Shen and frowned: "I chose many people for her, but she was not satisfied, even I was not happy. She finally spat out under all my questioning, but this is it-"
"She wants to marry Fu Shen?" Huan Ci asked.
Looking at Zong Zhenglu's head swinging up and down, she was very unhappy in her heart. "What did you do with her?" She looked back at Fu Shen.
Fu Shenyi frowned, and said, "She saved my life when I was in Yongguo, and I didn't feel anything abnormal other than that. β
"Does she really have a crush on you, or is there some other purpose?" Huan Ci bowed his head in contemplation.
Even if Yong's national customs were open, she had never heard of a princess wanting to marry a married man.
Zong Zhenglu said on the side: "Yi Zhen seems to have this intention in this princess of Yongguo. She is not very close to the emperor of Yongguo, and she must have been forced to come to Heqin. β
"What does Your Majesty want to do?" Huan Ci asked directly.
"I thought I could delay for as long as I could, but a few days ago I received a letter from the Emperor Yong, in which he mentioned the princess and his relatives at least three times. I haven't written a reply to the letter, and I don't know how to write it. This romantic debt was originally caused by Xuan Mo, and I thought that he should come forward to solve this matter. But after thinking about it, if I act according to the plan, when Xuan Mo is no longer an official of our court, then the princess of Yongguo will have nothing to say. β
Huan Ci's eyelids jumped. It seems that Fu Shen was dismissed in the last few days.
It was getting dark, and the two had been discussing it for a long time, and now it was time to go back.
The residual heat on the ground has not dissipated, but Huan Ci is tightly wrapped in a cloak. Presumably, Zong Zhenglu must have a hiding place, Huan Ci came out behind them, but when she got into the carriage, the man disappeared.
"You knew it was him for a long time?" As soon as he got into the carriage, he asked.
Fu Shen shook his head: "I'm also surprised. I thought it was someone he sent, but I didn't expect him to come in person. β
"What kind of big deal can make him come to Jizhou in person." Huan Ci looked curious.
"He's not necessarily here just for this one." Fu Shen said softly.
Huan Ci hurriedly leaned over and grabbed his sleeve: "What else?" You've been talking for a long time, and I don't fully understand it. Who are you trying to bring out? β
"In recent years, the forces of all parties in the DPRK and China have changed too rapidly, and in short, they have been invaded by the Yong State, and many people who are no longer in the DPRK and China are still unwilling to give up. When the first emperor was in the court, Wei Xiang Wei Yang was originally a high and powerful position, but later his father died, and the first emperor made him Ding Wei resign. Although others are not in the court, they have left many of their protΓ©gΓ©s, and Ji Shangshu is one of them. β
"I've heard of this man. It's been three years since he left office, and now is a good time for him to return to the imperial court, do you want to take this opportunity to get rid of him? β
"It all depends on what Your Majesty means. Now that I am in the phase, the fact that Wei Xiangruo wants to return to his official position is the first contradiction. Moreover, he was very unsupportive of the new law, and His Majesty did not want him to come back. But now there is no reason to stop him, only by luring him into the bait. β
"Wei Xiang is so old and well-informed, you two should be careful." Huan Ci looked at him with worry in his eyes.
Wei Yang should be about sixty years old now. This person is very smart, although he joined the court as an auxiliary government because of his family background, but it turned out that he was better than his father, and he rose all the way to the prime minister, but he was later suppressed by Zong Zhengyuan.
His father had been calculated by him, so he fell a lot. Huan Ci still had palpitations when he mentioned this person, although Fu Shen and Zong Zhenglu were cautious and intelligent, they still didn't have enough knowledge compared to the old fox, and they didn't blame her for worrying about the two.
"You're too risky. If you can't take this opportunity to knock him down, you will give him a chance to fight back. β
"For the sake of today, this is the only way, and if it drags on for a long time, it will be even more detrimental to us." Fu Shen said.
Huan Ci sighed helplessly. Now that she is in troubled times, many things are involuntarily, and the people who are still rushing forward at this time don't make her feel distressed.
She slowly hugged Fu Shen and buried her head in the man's chest: "If you are tired, I will rest with you for a while." β
"Okay." The man replied in a low voice, raising his hand to caress her black hair.
Lan Fu drove back in the car, distraught by the conversation between the two in the car. In fact, how sinister this time may be, I may not have imagined it.
If they were in the palace of the state and state, it would be fine, but now that they are outside, once Fu Shen is dismissed, those forces hostile to them will definitely do their best to fight back. At that time, I am afraid that the law of the sect will be difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river, and it will be difficult to protect himself, where can he take care of Fu Shen. He's an emperor anyway, but what about Fu Shen? There is neither a prominent family nor enough power, and once it is dealt with, it is very likely to face an abyss.
Huan Ci has no money now, in fact, the palace does not have much power, and his power has been disintegrated since Huan Yuan's death. She couldn't help but worry about the future of everyone.
