Chapter 106: Above the Painting Boat

Speechless but long talk, a morning of conversation has determined a lot of things. Wei Guogong naturally wanted to leave the two of them for a light meal, but Zhu Youtan said that there was still a document to deal with in the palace, and he and Fang Liangping walked out of the Guogong Mansion at noon. Xu Xingcheng looked at Xu Kuai and didn't know if it was a good thing, but you Fang Liangping Xingcheng looked at the two people who walked away and also thought in his heart: "I wanted to fish in troubled waters and didn't want Fang Liangping to be caught, I don't know if it's a good thing for this team to stand so fast, you Fang Liangping has nothing to miss, then I will follow you to gamble this time." β€˜

"Master Fang, this Wei Guogong makes me a little confused. Zhu Youtan also didn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked Fang Liangping.

"Oh, then what are your questions?" Fang Liangping, who was sitting in the same carriage, also said with a smile, obviously taking this as an exam for his own student.

"Master Fang, I don't understand why Xu Xingcheng wants to say such a trivial matter as him and King Fu, and secondly, although Xu Xingcheng has such a tendency to take refuge, he does not give the benefits he deserves. Zhu Youtan also spoke.

"It's not bad, the analysis is somewhat useful. Let me answer Your Highness's second question first. Fang Liangping also nodded with satisfaction and said, "First of all, this Duke of Wei is determined by Taizu, even if it is Chengzu Jing, it has not weakened by half a point, not to mention the dispute between you and King Fu now, no matter which of you wins, it will not treat their Xu family badly, so it is natural for them to reach out on both sides to ask for benefits, so that they can get the benefits he can get." β€œ

"I see, but I don't expect him to help me kill King Fu, as long as he doesn't toss with King Fu. Zhu Youtan also said.

"That's right, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants now is not who has to take refuge but the stability of Nanjing, as long as the people inside don't help King Fu, this Nanjing can't be chaotic," Fang Liangping also said, " So now I will answer His Royal Highness's first question, that is, he Xu Xingcheng has some scruples in his heart, as soon as he sees me walking with you, he essentially thinks that the civil and political camps I represent are on your side, so as the leader of the Nanjing military attachΓ©, he also needs to express his position, so he did not entertain us in the main hall but opened his own study to show that he has a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince. β€œ

"So that's the case, Gu Fang is still wondering, why he is meeting guests in the study, but Master Fang, what was the purpose of talking about King Fu at that time. Zhu Youtan also said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness's big lesson regards this as a vote of nomination, and of course there are elements of showing favor to the crown prince. Fang Liangping also said, "But it's more about getting benefits, showing that King Fu is giving gifts in various ways, you have to pay attention to him, and at the same time, a thousand taels of silver is not a big deal, even such a small thing to tell you shows his loyalty to you." β€œ

"Yes. Zhu Youtan also wanted to say something when he heard this, but was interrupted by Fang Liangping.

"I know that Your Highness must have questions in your heart, and don't be in a hurry, wait for the ministers to come full. Fang Liangping also smiled and said, "Your Highness must be thinking about why I said that he is loyal to you and at the same time wants to benefit from both sides?"

"Yes, isn't Master Fang so contradictory left and right?" Zhu Youtan also said.

"Actually, this is very simple, and there is only one reason to say that it is broken. Speaking of this, Fang Liangping also paused, "That is, you are the crown prince, not the current saint, there is only one reason for him Xu Xingcheng to show loyalty, and that is the ability of the current saint, and whether His Highness can win him Xu Xingcheng is not clear, but he clearly sees that the final outcome of this battle will definitely be in Jingshi instead of Jinling." β€œ

"It turns out that I'm also pulling tiger skins until now. Zhu Youtan didn't know whether he was happy or sad.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has handled it very well. Fang Liangping also bowed his hand and said with relief.

"Master Fang doesn't have to comfort Gu, Gu knows that he is still much worse than his father. Zhu Youtan also waved his hand and didn't let Fang Liangping continue.

And in the six doors, Xu Xiang was already sitting in Mu Liu's room. "I said Mu Liu, can you hurry up, although I don't need to grab this seat, but it is inconvenient to go late and inevitably crowd with people. Xu Xiang also stood up, leaned against the door frame, and said to Mu Liu, who was tossing his clothes inside.

"My little grandfather Xu, if you can't wait, don't take me. Mu Liu also turned around and gave him a roll of his eyes and said.

"You have what you say, what kind of person am I, master, that is the little grandfather of Nanjing City, and you and Fang Xiao dare to give me such a face. Xu Xiang also sat back in his seat and said.

"First of all, don't say that you are fat, you will gasp, and secondly, this is Fang Xiao's lead, why are you unconvinced and unhappy, but you are looking for him to send it. Mu Liu also said angrily.

"Forget it, don't get angry, don't get angry. How could I have a friend like you. Xu Xiang also said with a look of indignation.

"Okay, let's go, Master Xu, don't be angry. Mu Liu also prepared his clothes, turned to Xu Xiang and said.

"I said, why are you so handsome? You still want to fish one out of the boat? No, you kid shouldn't be able to afford that money. Xu Xiang's mouth was also broken, and he had the posture of returning all the words of the previous herdsman.

"Hurry up, you're still talking about these salty things, it's not you who is urging you just now. Mu Liu also glanced at Xu Xiang dissatisfied.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when I arrived at the bank of the Qinhuai River, a two-story stage had already been erected. And right on the other side is the two-bow painting boat, both of which are two-story structures, which are no different from Hong Xiuqian's painting boat. But this place and the place where the accident happened are probably more than ten miles of waterway. Xu Xiang was originally a regular customer here, and he led the herd to find his own private room.
