Chapter Ninety-Four: Zhou Gong
Fang Yuhan understood that he was also looking at it like that, but he didn't want to leave. Shangguan Ling'er also understood this truth, her eyes were already red at this time, and then she gritted her teeth, stepped forward, and slowly closed the door.
An iron door divided the two people who loved each other on both sides, Fang Yuhan slowly looked at the familiar face and disappeared, but there was a bitterness in his heart.
It is said that a good man has ambitions in the world, but Fang Yuhan is not in that column, at this time he just wants to stay here with the person he loves for the rest of his life.
But there are many things that are helpless, and at the moment he took a deep breath and turned to leave. didn't know that the kicking door was not completely closed, and there was a thin slit in between, which was enough for Shangguan Ling'er to watch him leave.
Duke of Zhou and King Wu are brothers, and they are also the auxiliary ministers appointed by King Wu, whose name is Ji Dan, because the fief is in Zhou, so it is called Duke of Zhou. In the entire Zhou Dynasty nowadays, except for the Son of Heaven, the Duke of Zhou is the most powerful.
In fact, Zhou Tianzi is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, and all the power in Zhou Tianxia is in the hands of Zhou Gong. But Zhou Gong is not a powerful person, he assisted King Ji Yu and won Ji Yu's trust.
At this time, inside and outside the government and the opposition, except for another auxiliary minister, Gongsun Luo, there was no one who was not afraid of Zhou Gong.
The site of the Duke of Zhou's mansion was built in the north of the pickaxe capital, and it would not take much time to walk over from the Tianxin Pavilion. But Fang Yuhan didn't want to go over, and walked very slowly, for nearly half an hour, before he reached the site of Duke Zhou's mansion.
After the gatekeeper went in to report the news, the guards took him into the mansion before the time for half a cup of tea.
Fang Yuhan originally thought that the site of Duke Zhou's mansion would be built extremely luxurious and luxurious, and it was splendid, but when he walked in, he saw the mansion of ordinary people, and there was nothing atmospheric. But fortunately, it is quiet and elegant, natural and ethereal, and when you see the scenery here, the previous irritability is gone.
Walking into the lobby, I saw a fifty-year-old man sitting on top of him, he was of medium stature and slightly obese. The heavenly court is full, lying silkworm eyebrows, and the eyes are like two bright lights, exuding a gentle light. The skin is slightly dry and wrinkled, which is the mark of time.
This looks similar to that of ordinary old people, but the temperament on his body is not comparable to ordinary people.
Before Fang Yuhan entered Tianxin Pavilion, he wanted to become a person like Zhou Gong, but after being rejected by Wenyuan Pavilion, his dream was destined to become a dream bubble.
Seeing Zhou Gong at this time, Fang Yuhan thought that he would be a little excited or something, but he never thought that he would be so quiet.
Zhou Gong smiled faintly and said, "I heard that you are the most maverick cabinet disciple in Tianxin Pavilion?"
Zhou Gong's voice was extremely gentle, it was like an old man talking to his younger children and grandchildren, without the slightest pretense.
Fang Yuhan didn't expect his first sentence to be like this, but he couldn't react for a while, and after a while, he smiled awkwardly and said, "What's the matter, my lord, you are laughing!"
Zhou Gongdao: "Those disciples who came during the day, they have already gone to see the Son of Heaven, because all of you have different goals this time, so you are all acting alone, and you, you don't have to go to see the Son of Heaven!"
Fang Yuhan thought to himself: "What kind of Son of Heaven does the ghost want to see!" He said, "I don't know what task the adult wants to give me?"
Zhou Gongdao: "I want you to check someone!"
"Who?" Fang Yuhan asked.
Zhou Gong's expression gradually became solemn, and there was a fierce look in his eyes. At this time, Fang Yuhan felt that this medium-sized, slightly chubby fifty-year-old man instantly became taller, it was like a big mountain, straight into the cloud peak, and he couldn't see the top.
Fang Yuhan's breathing also became rapid, and his qi and blood were tumbling, as if his whole person was about to burst. At this time, two words sounded in his ears: "Wu Geng!"
Fang Yuhan's mind trembled violently again, who is Wu Geng? That is the son of Emperor Xin, the king of the former dynasty, after King Wu fell, let Wu Geng manage the old land of the Shang Dynasty, but also to guard against Wu Geng, so he set up a Wei State in the east of Chaoge, with Guan Shuji Xian as the king, and set up a Hu State in the southwest, with Cai Shuji Du as the king.
To the north of Chaoge is the country of Shao, also known as the country of Huo, where the lord of the country is Huo Shuji. These three people are all members of the royal family, and the fief surrounded the entire Chaoge to death, just to supervise Wu Geng to prevent him from making trouble.
This is already seventeen years after King Wu's defeat, and he is still in Chaoge City, and he has not heard of any other actions from Wu Geng. Now that Zhou Gong wants him to investigate Wu Geng, doesn't this mean that Wu Geng is likely to rebel?
"What are you looking for?" Fang Yuhan asked.
Zhou Gongdao: "You are very direct, he is the prince of the previous dynasty, and he should have inherited the unification of Yin Shang, but the king of Zhou has no way, and the king of Wu is defeated, this is the mandate of heaven." If Wu Geng doesn't move around in the fiefdom in a proper manner, then we naturally won't care about him, but now that Chaoge's spies are reporting, Wu Geng seems to have a heart of disobedience!"
When Zhou Gong said this, he paused, Fang Yuhan just sat silently, waiting for Zhou Gong's next words, only to listen to him continue: "If there is stability today, the people live and work in peace and contentment, once there is a war, it is the ordinary people who suffer after all, so your task is to find out whether Wu Geng is really suspected of rebellion, and if so, kill him!"
When Fang Yuhan heard this, his mind suddenly became confused, he tried his best to keep himself calm, but when he heard such words, it was really difficult to calm down.
After a long while, Fang Yuhan suddenly raised his head and said, "Aren't there still Uncle Guan, Uncle Cai, and Uncle Huo? Why did Wu Geng rebel and not let the Three Kingdoms directly send troops?"
Zhou Gongdao: "It's hard to say whether Wu Geng will defect now, there is no excuse to send troops, in addition, the most important point, I guess that there is something wrong with these three kingdoms, this time let all the people of your Tianxin Pavilion be dispatched, just to find out everything!"
Fang Yuhan knew that Ji Shengxuan and Ji Yu were the young lords of the country, and they were the sons of Uncle Ji Xian, presumably the people that Angren received would not be going to defend the country.
"I know what you're thinking, now send someone to investigate secretly, there is no such capable person in the court, if you are caught, you will be startled, but you are different, under the pretext of the experience of the disciples of Tianxin Pavilion, wherever you go, it will not make people suspicious!" Zhou Gong said.
Fang Yuhan said: "Everyone in the world knows that although Tianxin Pavilion is a place of cultivation, it is under the jurisdiction of Zhou Tianzi, but my lord, you say that no one will doubt it?
When Zhou Gong heard this, he just smiled faintly and said, "So our people can not only go to these few places, but also need other people to go to other places!"
Fang Yuhan understood, the disciples of Tianxin Pavilion went out to practice and were all over the world, so naturally no one would think much about anything, then the two brothers Ji Yu and Ji Shengxuan would definitely be sent out to travel to other places.
Fang Yuhan suddenly thought: "If I don't go to Chaoge and go to other places, can I take Ling'er with me? This kind of experience is a great pleasure in life!" Thinking of this, he said: "My lord, do you think I can not go to Chaoge City, such as going to the land south of the Yangtze River······
Zhou Gong smiled faintly and said, "This matter belongs to you!"
Fang Yuhan's face suddenly fell, and he said: "My cultivation is low, and I am a full spirit root, that Wu Geng, when I hear it, he is a ruthless character, is it not sent to death?"
Fang Yuhan used to live in Luoyi, not very far from Chaoge, and naturally heard of Wu Geng's name, but what he said was not true.
Zhou Gongdao: "That's right, it's because you are a well-known all-spiritual root in the world, and your cultivation is low, that Wu Geng is indeed a ruthless character, but he is conceited, knowing your identity, I don't think much about it." The most important thing is that you are a lonely person, and I naturally believe that you have something extraordinary!"
Fang Yuhan really wanted to cry without tears now, how could any bad errand fall on him? The most important thing is that his cultivation is not enough to do these things now. Another most important point, he was reluctant to leave Shangguan Ling'er!
But at this moment, the lonely Taoist walked in. He bowed to Zhou Gong and said, "You just go and do what you have to do, Haojing's affairs, and Poor Dao will take care of it!"
Fang Yuhan listened, but his heart was tight, the words of the lonely Taoist still carried a little threat, if he didn't go, Shangguan Ling'er might have to worry about his life.
Until now, Fang Yuhan could be regarded as seeing that whether it was Duke Zhou, who formulated the etiquette, or the pavilion master of Tianxin Pavilion, they would definitely not be kind and kind elders. They all have their own plans in mind, and when necessary, they will sacrifice no one to blink an eye.
Perhaps, only the fireworker treats him like a relative, and at the moment he glanced at the lonely Taoist, there was already a gap in his heart, but he had to keep the way he was before, so that he couldn't see it.
"Okay, isn't it just going to Chaoge City, but if there is a slight difference in the affairs of this capital, I can't guarantee whether Wu Geng will really rebel, and whether the world will really be ruined!" Fang Yuhan is very weak, but he is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated.
In the current situation, except for him, it is difficult for the rest of the people to complete the task, which is his confidence. Well, since that's all the talk, then why should he pretend to be any longer?
When the lonely Taoist heard this, his eyes flashed with vicissitudes, he understood that he shouldn't have spoken like that, but he cared more about whether Wu Geng would really rebel and whether the world would really ignite the flames of war. For people like Fang Yuhan, he couldn't see through it, so he could only grasp his handle.
But because of this, the relationship between him and Fang Yuhan may be alienated from now on, and even come to an end. Of course, at this time, Te also understood, if Wu Geng had the intention of rebellion, what difference would it make between checking and not checking?
After Fang Yuhan finished speaking, he ignored Zhou Gong and the Lonely Void Daoist, and went out directly. He understood that there was only one way for him to do it. Since you don't have a choice, then why choose? In life, sometimes you have to see a little more clearly, but also a little more clearly.
