Text Season 7: The Battle of the Capital _ "Phantom Spear (7)" Chapter 50: I don't know what to do
Last time, it was said: The emperor summoned Fang Xinyao to the imperial study, and Jiang Feng and Yan Kuo left the palace first and returned to the Zhaoxian Pavilion. The emperor heard that Fang Xinyao was a heroic among the 'women', and he wanted to test her courage, but he didn't expect Fang Xinyao's unexpected nervousness, which made the emperor's first impression not very good. But then Fang Xinyao's righteous words to defend her father deeply infected the emperor.
Cold sweat oozed from Fang Xinyao's forehead, and she said softly: "The people's 'daughter' is dedicated to saving her father, but she has not fully considered the emperor's difficulties, is it the people's 'daughter'." The emperor stood up with a wry smile, waved his hand, frowned, and sighed: "You all think that the emperor is the true dragon emperor, as long as I give an order, there is nothing that cannot be done." Oh, it's ridiculous, even I think it's ridiculous, once upon a time, what I said was true. I don't know if you know what the situation is in the court now, but I can tell you that I also have to act according to the law, and I have to act according to people's faces. These rules of officialdom, I'm afraid that you won't understand it as a girl, anyway, I promised you to thoroughly investigate Fang Yan's case, but you also have to promise me to stay in the Zhaoxian Pavilion honestly, and you can't except cause trouble, let alone still act recklessly and make claims, otherwise, even I won't be able to protect you at that time. After listening to the emperor's heartfelt words, Fang Xinyao suddenly felt that there seemed to be an invisible big hand pinching him behind the emperor's back, making him unable to move and not daring to breathe. Fang Xinyao didn't know that this invisible big hand was none other than Liu Shichen, the prime minister who was in a high position in the middle of the court and above 10,000 people under one person?
Fang Xinyao has no bottom in her heart, but if she wants to rescue her father, she must rely on the emperor, only if the emperor removes the power of the 'traitor' minister Liu Shichen, can Master Lu have a way to thoroughly investigate her father's case, otherwise, sooner or later, father Fang Yan will be killed by the emperor and die under the law. At this point, she mustered up her courage and resolutely said: "Your Majesty, what you just said, the people's 'daughter' must be remembered in mind. But the people's 'daughter' still has a wish, and she hopes that the emperor will fulfill it. Seeing that her expression was firm, and there was no lack of worry in her eyes, the emperor asked, "What do you want, just talk about it?" Fang Xinyao's teeth bit her lower lip, and after a pause, she said: "I beg the emperor to let me see my father, just one face." With that, he fell to his knees again. After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but sneer: "What's the matter today? Why are they all so stubborn, do you really not take me seriously?" After speaking, the emperor turned his back with an angry face. Lu Jianfei saw the emperor's expression, and immediately comforted: "Your Majesty, you dissipate your anger first, Miss Fang, she is also out of filial piety, she is anxious for her father's safety, so she will be reckless and offend Long Wei for a while, and ask the emperor to forgive her sins." The emperor saw Lu Jianfei interceding for her, so he was a little angry.
Hong Shun also hurriedly signaled Fang Xinyao to admit her mistake with her eyes, although Fang Xinyao expected that the emperor would be displeased, but she also knew that if she couldn't see her father today, she was afraid that she would never have a chance in the future, so she still said: "Your Majesty, the people's 'daughter' deserves death, and the people's 'daughter' is just worried that she will not be able to see her father in the future, so she will make this unreasonable request." After speaking, crystal tears rolled in his eyes, and his voice became choked. The emperor let out a long sigh, tried to calm his emotions, turned around and said, "Okay, okay, I forgive you for your innocence, get up." Fang Xinyao lowered her head and got up slowly, she knew that she couldn't 'force' the emperor anymore, otherwise it might backfire.
The emperor suddenly became patient and explained: "It's not that I don't agree to your request, it's just that I'm afraid that the country has national laws, the family has family rules, and the laws of this dynasty are cloudy, and all death row prisoners who are thrown into the heavenly prison are not allowed to see anyone other than the officials handling the case, even me." No one can be above the law, you must know that there are people in the court who are waiting for me to make mistakes, once he is caught, he will make a 'wave', at that time, don't say that it is your father Fang Yan, even if it is my country, I am afraid it will be difficult to preserve, do you understand?" Fang Xinyao nodded heavily and said: "The people's 'daughter' knows the emperor's situation, and she also knows that this matter is difficult for the emperor. The people's 'daughter' will not make such an unreasonable request again, but in the end, I want to say again, Your Majesty, my father was really framed by a 'traitor', and he was wronged. The emperor nodded slightly and said, "I will definitely send someone to find out about this matter, and you can wait for news in the Zhaoxian Pavilion with peace of mind." Fang Xinyao shed tears and thanked the emperor again.
The words were divided into two ends, and it was said that Jiang Feng and Yan Kuo left the inner courtyard of the palace under the guidance of the chief eunuch. Just when the two of them arrived at the periphery of the palace, Liu Gongzi suddenly appeared and blocked their way. When Liu Gongzi saw Jiang Feng, he said politely: "Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you have time to come to the inner courtyard of the palace today?" Jiang Feng knew that Liu Gongzi was a person, although he had different political views, he was not a bad person, so he also replied: "Brother Liu, you and I are really fateful, we have met by chance a few times, how is Brother Liu recently?" Liu Gongzi saw that Jiang Feng deliberately avoided his own problems, and he didn't break it, but just smiled and said: "The body is still healthy, just serving the imperial court, and I am a little tired." Jiang Feng also smiled and said: "Yes, the Prime Minister is busy with state affairs, and Brother Liu, as the son of the Prime Minister, must have many things to do." Liu Gongzi saw that Jiang Feng was polite to him, so he walked to Gonggong Cao and whispered a few words in his ear, Gonggong Cao suddenly said goodbye to the three of them, Jiang Feng and Yan Kuo hurriedly returned the salute and watched him leave.
Liu Gongzi bowed his hand and said with a smile: "If I am not mistaken, this brother Tai is Lord Yan Kuoyan, the deputy hall master of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, right?" Although Yan Kuo has a relationship with him, if it weren't for Jiang Feng saying that he is the son of the Prime Minister, he would no longer remember the identity of Liu Gongzi. However, Yan Kuo thought that he could come and go freely in this palace, and he could give the chief eunuch Cao Gonggong away with a word, presumably this person must not be an ordinary person. Yan Kuo didn't have a trace of expression on his face, but said coldly: "Brother, hello! If there is nothing to do, I will leave next." Seeing that Yan Kuo's attitude was so bad, Liu Gongzi was not angry, but just made a gesture of please, signaling that he could leave at any time. Yan Kuotou walked straight to the big 'gate' without looking back, Jiang Feng saw him leaving, so he also wanted to say goodbye, but he didn't want to be stopped by Liu Gongzi, and said: "Brother Jiang, you and I haven't seen each other for many days, since we have already come to the palace, why go to the mansion to sit and drink tea to catch up?" Jiang Feng heard this, and hurriedly excused himself: "Oh, Brother Liu, there are still important things to do next, I'm afraid I can't accompany Brother Liu to catch up today." Liu Gongzi insisted and said: "Eh, Brother Jiang, last time I went to the Zhaoxian Pavilion, you entertained me and my sister, and my sister and I have always kept in mind this affection." Although you and I are officials in the same dynasty, the location of the errand can be done is different from the nature of 'sex', and it is rare to have such a great opportunity. In addition, the housemate also wants to see Brother Jiang, this is very likely to be the last time you will meet, does Brother Jiang want to give up like this?" Jiang Feng saw that Liu Gongzi mentioned that Liu Bingbing wanted to see him, and he also emphasized that this was very likely to be the last time they met, if he didn't make things clear today, he was afraid that meeting and fighting in the future would make Liu Bingbing even more sad and sad. Thinking of this, Jiang Feng suddenly changed his mind, and he shouted to Yan Kuo in a loud voice: "Brother Yan, you go back to the Zhaoxian Pavilion first, I have some words to talk to Brother Liu, and after the talk, I will go back immediately." Yan Kuo was unhappy in his heart, and said coldly: "Pavilion Master Jiang, don't forget your identity!" Jiang Feng heard Yan Kuo's worries, and he said categorically: "Brother Yan, don't worry, I am the owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion given by the emperor, and I will not forget this identity." When Liu Gongzi heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sneer. Yan Kuo knew that he couldn't stop Jiang Feng, so he left alone without looking back.
Jiang Feng's eyes were a little lost, he didn't want Yan Kuo to have any misunderstanding because of this matter, but what should come will always come, and what should be faced must always be faced, and a choice is also to escape. Seeing that Jiang Feng was a little distracted, Liu Gongzi coughed twice and asked, "Brother Jiang, I think you also have a lot of affairs in the Zhaoxian Pavilion waiting for you to go back to deal with, let's go to the mansion with me to discuss in detail, and after the discussion, you can also go back early." Jiang Feng looked at Liu Gongzi's sharp eyes and said, "Okay, I'm tired of Brother Liu leading the way!"
On the way, Jiang Feng said in his heart: I will enter the Prime Minister's Mansion in a while, and when I see my father-killing enemy Liu Shichen, should I find an opportunity to kill him on the spot. No, no, no, the Prime Minister's Mansion is the most tightly guarded place except for the palace, among which there must be masters like clouds, not to mention the Demon Shadow Quick Knife Zhanqun and the Liu family guards who appeared before, even Liu Gongzi's pass, I am afraid that I am not sure that I can pass, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if I can successfully kill Liu Shichen, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of being killed, if so, I will not have a chance to kill Wan Xingyun. Therefore, I can only endure, endure the calm 'waves' for a while, and wait until the time is ripe in the future, and eradicate Liu Shichen and the 'door' of death openly......
How about 'wanting' to know what's going on?
Let's see the next breakdown.
