Chapter 279 Northwest and Southwest

When the emperor came out of Cishou Palace, he took a deep breath after taking a look at the sun that was already west in the sky. He stretched out his arms and stretched his body hard. Su Buwei obviously felt that the emperor's pace was no longer as heavy as before entering Cishou Palace.

Perhaps the emperor finished all the things he wanted to say over the years, and he also felt anger that he had been holding in his heart for so many years. For the empress dowager, it was more painful to let her live than to let her die. This woman exhausted her mind and always hoped that her son could be the emperor's position.

The emperor once did not understand because no matter who inherited the throne, she was the real empress dowager, and there was no need to let her biological son sit on it.

But now, the emperor understands.

Because he has always ignored the relationship between mother and son, which mother does not want her son to make a name for himself? Even if she is the queen mother, the one who sits on the throne is the son of the person she once competes for favor with, and the son of another wife of the late emperor. How could she be happy?

If it weren't for so many methods behind the Queen Mother, the Emperor wouldn't even blame her.

But this woman has become obsessed with her, like Prince Yi.

When he walked out of Cishou Palace, the emperor did not board the imperial chariot. He waved his hand and ordered the ceremonial guard to disperse, turned around and said to Su Buwei, "I want to go, just follow me."

Su Buwei lowered his head and responded, and told everyone not to follow him.

"You must kill all the people in Cishou Palace, don't go to interrogate them... You can personally check and pick a group of new people to add them. As for what kind of candidates, you should know what kind of candidates you should."

The emperor ordered lightly as he walked.

Su Buwei nodded and said, "I know... I will have someone execute the servants in Cishou Palace later."

The emperor said with a nod, "There should not be any scandal in Cishou Palace. All criminals involved in the plot and rebellion of Lao Liu must be severely interrogated, but those in Cishou Palace do not need to be tried. Especially the palace maids who are trusted by the empress dowager, they will be executed immediately. Also, from now on, you will go to the Ministry of Justice to watch, and you must listen to all serious criminals interrogation. All case sects and palaces must have a archive."

"Here"

The emperor was silent for a while and said again: "Cishou Palace cannot be involved, and Daozong cannot do it... Xiao Yijiu let me down, he deserves to die. Most of his four disciples, as well as the second-generation disciples of Qingle Mountain, should die. If you can't keep it, don't keep it. But Daozong cannot fall down because of this. If you turn around, you pick some of your confidants and stuff them into the qi Temple. Qingle Mountain must be controlled by me. Although Xiang Qingniu's temperament does not follow Xiao Yijiu's old path, he cannot be wary of it at all."

"I give Lao Qi a face, after all, Xiang Qingniu is his junior brother."

Su Buwei said, "If Prince Zhong was in Chang'an, he would definitely be grateful for His Majesty's kindness."

"If Lao Qi was in Chang'an, Xiao Yijiu would not have the courage to follow Lao Liu to rebel."

The emperor snorted, "They actually thought that my throne would be unstable without Lao Qi's assistance. The idiotic idea in this world is this. After Lao Qi left Chang'an City, Lao Liu began to be restless. At first, I just thought that he also wanted to be a person like Lao Qi and become my right-hand man. Later, I gradually realized that his heart was bigger."

After leaving for a while, the emperor continued, "I will bring Lao Liu to him later. I will ask him some questions. After Fang Jie came back from Qingfeng Temple, he also asked him to come to the palace. After seeing them, I will go to the Yanwu Academy to visit the old dean. If Lao Liu had no intention of rebelling, how could anyone know that the old dean was still alive? When Taizu was able to pacify the Central Plains, the old dean made great contributions. Later, the Yanwu Academy was established and it has always been the Dinghai Dinghai needle of the Great Sui Dynasty... Everyone in the world knows that Zhou Banchuan was the president of the Yanwu Academy, and everyone knows that I respect him very much. Who knows that he is just a messenger between me and the old dean."

Su Buwei was unaware of these things before today.

"Your Majesty... I have something to ask... I want to ask, but I dare not ask."

Su Buwei hesitated and said.

"Who do you want to ask the old dean?"

The emperor stopped to look at him, then smiled and said, "It's not your fault for being curious, but anyone who practices will be curious. I ask you... Who is the most well-deserved first in the Central Plains world for two hundred years?"

When Su Buwei heard this, his face suddenly changed: "The master of Wanjian Hall... Wan Xingchen!"

"good"

The emperor laughed and walked out: "Who would have thought that Wan Xingchen was the first president of the Martial Arts Academy. Who would have thought that he had lived for so long? I knew that he was the ninth grade martial arts in the world, but at that time he was too cunning, and he was only determined to be the ninth grade, so that the world had been in chaos for many years. The gap between the great cultivators of the ninth grade was too big... I thought, since the old president had been born, I would just promote it. Let everyone know that the Great Sui Dynasty has never lacked peerless masters."

Su Buwei was stunned for a moment and said, "I suddenly had an idea."

"explain"

"Did you launch a dance forest conference in the name of the old dean and call on people in the world to serve the country? Those who are outstanding can get the old dean's personal comments. The highest rank in the world is the ninth rank, which should have been changed long ago... People in the world do not seek wealth or wealth, but seek wealth and frugality, but seek a reputation. With the prestige of the old dean, the whole world will surely make the whole world boil. Even those great practitioners who live in seclusion will come to their reputation. If they get a comment from the old dean, the people in the world will be ecstatic."

"In selecting people who can serve the country from it... it will also help the war in the northwest. When the Mongolian Yuan people entered the pass, they would inevitably follow the army and lead a large number of practitioners. The Buddhist sect had such appeal, and the Buddhist sect ordered them, and the Mongolian Yuan practitioners did not dare to refuse. But our Great Sui Dynasty did not have such sects and did not have such appeal. Even if... even if your Majesty, you ordered them to recruit them, it would be difficult for those secluded tourists to come out. In addition, after this incident, Qingle Mountain's vitality was greatly damaged..."

Su Buwei said cautiously: "But now that the old dean has stood up, with his influence on the world, he can still help His Majesty do a lot of things."

The emperor was silent for a while and shook his head in embarrassment: "I just don't know if the old dean is willing. He has lived in seclusion in the Martial Arts Academy for so many years, but he doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the world anymore. If it weren't for Lao Liu's rebellion this time, he wouldn't have stood up... It would be difficult for him to enter the world again."

When he walked to the gate of Tai Chi Palace, the emperor pondered for a moment and ordered: "Let's try it, I'll ask the old dean in person. But the court has to send someone who is capable of doing this. It's not too late to think about it after the matter in Chang'an City."

Su Buwei wanted to take the job, but in the end he didn't say it. Because he knew that the emperor would never let him take charge of this matter.

"Don't worry, it will not take a moment to mobilize a large army to conquer the northwest. The troops in the northwest are empty, and it will not be possible to make urgent adjustments from all over the country in an instant. The northwest is now based on strict prevention. After I mobilize and arrange the troops, I will discuss the matter of personally expedition. I plan to send people to the southwest to meet Luo Yao in a few days..."

Speaking of military affairs, the emperor's brows frowned again.

"I have thought about recruiting civil bravery, but it's not the time... Once the recruiting civil bravery begins, the people will inevitably guess whether the war in the Northwest is tight. Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, people have never used civil bravery. They only use the army of sixteen guards for foreign wars. This precedent cannot be set unless it is absolutely necessary."

苏不畏叹了口气,心说做皇帝,太累了.

...

...

On the way back from Qingfengguan, Chen Qingsan asked Fang Jie where he would go next and what else he hadn't done. Fang Jie was silent for a while and replied: "It's time to have a meal."

Chen Qing slapped them in a daze, smiled and said, "Then go to have a meal."

"What do you want to eat?"

Mu Xiaoyao asked.

Fang Jie thought about it carefully and filtered all the famous restaurants in Chang'an City in his mind. Over the past year, he has had many social engagements, and he has basically eaten the restaurants in the east city of Chang'an City. The delicacies appeared one by one in his mind, but he did not find the one he was eager to eat.

“热汤面吧.”

He smiled and found that when he was hungry, the big bowl of hot noodles was the most attractive.

"good"

沐小腰点了点头:“许久没吃了.”

“麒麟什么时候回来?”

方解问大犬.

The big dog smiled and said, "He followed Chen Xiaoru and others to protect the houses of several nobles in the court. It is estimated that it should be withdrawn. Yan Kuang rarely met someone who could fight with him. He begged for a long time before he followed him."

"The students of the Martial Arts Academy did not participate in this matter. Although they were transferred to the Tai Chi Palace, they were useless..."

Fang Jie was silent for a while and shook his head: "I'm afraid that not many students in this world will be able to graduate successfully."

Chen Qingfan and the others knew what Fang Jie meant. After all, many of the students in the martial arts academy in this world were children of officials involved in the plot. The emperor transferred them to the Tai Chi Palace, in name to assist in suppressing the rebellion, but in fact it was also imprisonment. The court officials who were very close to Prince Yi, their children were afraid that their future would be ruined.

They were chatting while walking, and when they walked into Dongqisanzou, they were almost at the shop, they were all stunned for a moment.

The hot noodle stall not far from the shop door is gone.

Lao Wang and his wife, who sell hot noodle soup, stood at the door of the shop, as if they were deliberately waiting for Fang Jie and others. Fang Jie and others got off the horse, and when they walked over, they realized that the old couple was very different from before. Lao Wang, who always looked very honest, and his slutty and rustic wife, stood straight today, and the temperament of a small family was gone.

“见过小方大人”

老王和他的妻子同时抱拳.

Fang Jie was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood.

He smiled: "I never thought, I really didn't think of it."

Lao Wang smiled apologetically: "Mr. Xiao Fang, don't blame us for the two of us. We naturally cannot refuse the tasks arranged by the Great Inspectorate. Moreover, we didn't know about your character before."

Fang Jie smiled and shook his head: "Is he leaving?"

Lao Wang nodded: "It's time to leave... For you, Lord Xiao Fang, it's a good thing for us to leave."

Fang Jie understood what he meant. Since the person who was surveillance at the door of his shop was about to be withdrawn, it proved that the emperor really trusted him. In a sense, this was indeed a good thing.

But Fang Jie still shook his head: "Not good... I can't eat the hot noodle noodle bread you made."

"Do it last?"

He asked tentatively.

Lao Wang hesitated for a moment, and his wife reached out to pull his sleeve: "Cheng, Lord Xiao Fang wants to eat, then we will make it again. But the stall is gone, so I want to lend it to your kitchen."

"I'll buy wine!"

The big dog chuckled, turned around and ran out.

They all laughed and felt particularly comfortable.

"Mr. Xiao Fang, you will have a very amazing future."

Lao Wang said sincerely.

...

...

In the shop

Fang Jie looked at the steaming food in front of him and the wine in the cup. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw a carriage stop at the door. The little eunuch Mu San got out of the carriage and walked into the door with a smile and leaned over and said, "Mr. Xiao Fang, Your Majesty is waiting for you to enter the palace. Can you leave now?"

Fang Jie sighed, picked up a bowl of hot noodles and walked out: "Let's go, eat on the way to serve the noodles."

Mu San got into the car, put down the curtains of the car, and lowered his voice and said, "Before I came, I heard from several adults, and it seems that I intend to recommend you to the northwest..."

Fang Jie was stunned and his heart suddenly became tight.

Mu San continued: "Your Majesty has not agreed yet, but even General Xu Xiaogong said you can do it. I guess Your Majesty might let you play in the Martial Arts Academy in advance, you must be prepared. In addition... there is another thing that makes Your Majesty, who is in a good mood, angry."

"What's up?"

"I don't know what the specific matter is, but I just vaguely heard from Your Majesty that the general Luo Yao, who was stationed in the southwest. It seems that Luo Yao sent his general to Beijing and did something, so I don't know. Originally, Your Majesty planned to send someone to the southwest to pass the imperial edict, but the candidates were not yet decided, Luo Yao's people arrived first."
