Chapter 280 Unexpected Joy

The carriage passed by the street, and when the wheels ran over the bluestone slab, it made a slight sound. Fang Jie, holding a bowl of hot noodle soup, was enjoying his meal, and seemed to be in front of Mu San. Fang Jie knew that the more cautious people like Mu San, the more natural he performed in front of him, Mu San felt that this was a very close expression.

"Who have you summoned when His Majesty returns to Dongguan Pavilion?"

Fang Jie asked while eating.

"After Your Majesty comes back, the first ones to the East Warehouse are Yang Shunhui, the Left Warehouse General Xu Xiaogong, and then the Great Guard General stationed in Chang'an. They discuss matters in the East Warehouse for more than half an hour. I have a humble status and cannot approach, so I didn't hear anything. After the Generals of the Guards left, His Majesty met Huai Qiugong, the Minister of Rites, several Grand Secretary, Dugu Xue of the Ministry of Justice, as well as the Huangmen Minister Pei Yan and the Sanjin Hou Wu Yidao."

"The last one I met was President Zhou of the Yanwu Academy and Luo Weiran, the commander of the Dawei Guard Department... His Majesty had issued an order to ask Yang Yin to take him to Tai Chi Palace, but for some reason His Majesty regretted it again. He issued an order to hand over Prince Yi to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice for interrogation, and sent Eunuch Su to the jury."

Fang Jie couldn't help but smile when he heard that Mu San said that there was Dugu Xue. This Dugu was transferred from the Ministry of Justice by the emperor and appointed as the governor of Shandong Road. It was a great thing to have a great success, but he was not lucky enough to leave Jingji Road before he left Jingji Road, and Li Yuanshan and Yuan Chongwu had to rebel. This Dugu, who had already begun to be a rank of officials, had to return to Chang'an City. Fortunately, the responsibilities of the Ministry of Justice had not been rejected by others, otherwise he might have been considered the most unlucky governor of history.

All the people the emperor met could guess.

If you see the military first, Your Majesty must have let them stabilize the morale of the army and stabilize the situation in Chang'an. When you see Huai Qiugong and the others, you are ordering Prince Yi to rebel and then investigate the case. When you see President Zhou and Luo Weiran, you must have something to do with Xiao Yijiu and those gangsters who rebel together.

Fang Jie didn't know at this time that an old man who was enough to shock the entire Sui Dynasty and even the whole world was reborn.

Thinking of this, Fang Jie couldn't help but think that the emperor had a purpose in seeing these people, why did he see him? For this rebellion, he was actually insignificant in this huge situation. With his current status, it was impossible to control any major event. In terms of his identity, his most glorious one was just a Xu Jue, who had no meaning at all. Although he is now very famous in Chang'an City and is greater than many court officials, Fang Jie has a self-knowledge that there is no one acre of three-point land that belongs to him in Chang'an City.

He thought that the emperor would be rewarded with one or half of his position this time. He got rid of the shackles of not entering the officialdom for three years by students of the Martial Arts Academy. Who would have thought that the emperor was a natural good businessman. He actually took Xiang Qingniu's affairs to avoid his contribution. It seems that it would take time to change his current situation in Chang'an City.

Along the way, he ate a large bowl of hot noodle soup and asked many questions.

Mu San has limited status and there is not much news. When the carriage passed by the square, Fang Jie opened the curtains and looked out, and found that the huge square had already been pulled up and the curtains were blocked. The army patrolled the streets and did not allow anyone to enter this area. If it weren't for the palace sign on the carriage that Fang Jie was riding, he might have been stopped.

Fang Jie knew that behind the curtain, there were corpses in the square that had not been completely cleaned. It was one of the most elite soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty, the corpses of 11,000 soldiers of the Zuowuwei. The emperor did not see Yu Manlou in the end, and did not even give those people a chance to beg for mercy. When he turned around and left, the ending of those rebel soldiers was already destined.

Fang Jie did not think that the emperor's methods were cruel. If even serious crimes such as rebellion could be pardoned, then what was the emperor's majesty? He didn't know that at the last moment, Yu Manlou was still illusioned and planned to use the method of killing enemies in the northwest to replace the soldiers of the Left Wu Guard to survive for the time being. If Fang Jie knew, he would be afraid that he would smile helplessly. This general, known as the wise general, had become an idiot at the last moment.

How could the power of the country's French emperor allow those soldiers to survive?

Fang Jie had no doubt that the entire Chang'an City would cause a bloody storm. His Majesty would definitely take the opportunity to take down all the court officials who had nothing to do with Prince Yi, and I don't know how many people were raided and how many were wiped out. Judging from the example of the emperor's order to slaughter the Qiu family of Jiangdu many years ago, the emperor has this courage.

Fang Jie could not see the scene in the curtain, but he knew that the square was full of soldiers at this time, and the incomplete corpses were dealing with, and the total number of dead soldiers was more than 20,000, and the bodies would be transported out of Chang'an to be buried. If the emperor issued an order to implicate them, more than 10,000 Zuowu Guard soldiers who died here would be involved in the disaster. If they started to kill, then perhaps the number of people who were slaughtered would exceed 50,000, or even more.

rebel……

Fang Jie sighed in his heart.

Whether it is success or failure, those who have always rebel have stepped on the bones and moved forward.

Fang Jie still remembers so many examples in his previous life. In which dynasty, those who tried to change their rights did not pave the way they wanted to go with their lives? Whether the person who robs the rights won or the person who guards the rights won, there will be bloody storms after the game, and killing will follow.

Although this turmoil was quelled by the emperor, is the emperor really a winner?

The foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty is probably touched by this turmoil.

Fang Jie shook his head and threw away his troubled thoughts.

These things are still a bit far from him now. All he can do is live by himself, and then let all the people who are good to him live and live well. Fang Jie never thinks he is a good person, but he is very clear about his bottom line. Whether it is in his previous life or now, more than one person has said that if he wants to achieve great things, he must not recognize his relatives. Being a real hero will not be bound by love and friendship...

But Fang Jie never thought so. He knew that he could not do it and abandoned all his feelings.

On the contrary, he has to protect these feelings. Maybe he is impulsive and childish, but this is his bottom line. He is willing to fight for the people who are good to him, because the reason is that it is that simple, because they are good to him.

...

...

Fang Jie waited until it was dark and hungry again, but the emperor asked Su Buwei to call him in. When he entered the door, Fang Jie was stunned for a moment. He found that the emperor's hair was almost all white. When he was in the square before, because the emperor was wearing the crown, no one found these newly added white hair.

Under the lights, the emperor's white hair looked so eye-catching.

Fang Jie still couldn't calm down. Although the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, he smashed Prince Yi's conspiracy in one fell swoop, stabilized the court, stabilized Chang'an and stabilized his throne. However, civil strife has always been a matter of killing one thousand enemies and destroying himself. Take the 11,000 Zuowu Guard soldiers who were slaughtered in the square for example, they were all the most elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. How could the emperor not feel sad or sad?

Those who will be beheaded in the future will be the people of the Great Sui Dynasty. Most of the people are innocent. A minister who participated in the plot to rebel was a large family, with hundreds or thousands of people dead. How many of them knew about it? The families of those soldiers always thought that their sons were serving the country, but they were involved and lost their lives. Even if they were controlled to kill, the court officials would have to go to ten or two or three, which was a major event that shook the foundation for the Great Sui Dynasty.

And this is just a loss on the surface. The one that really has a huge impact on the court and the Sui Dynasty... are those aristocratic families. Who is not a famous family? If you really pursue it, at least half of the aristocratic families will be involved. These aristocratic families are the root of supporting the court. No matter how cruel the emperor is, can he still send troops to slaughter one by one? Then the Sui Dynasty is really in danger.

These are the reasons why the emperor's hair is getting whiter and whiter.

How could the emperor be happy?

It seems that he won, but in fact, no matter who rebels or is destroyed, he will be a loser for the emperor. Because the whole world is his, and the losses are his.

"What's your reaction?"

The emperor asked in a daze when Fang Jie was stunned, but his smile was full of fatigue.

He casually pointed to Hu Ding in front of him and said, "Sit down and talk."

Fang Jie said: "I'd better stand and talk. It's easier to kneel down and thank you later."

The emperor was amused by his words, it was really that kind of smile. Su Buwei, who was standing beside the emperor, looked at Fang Jie, and was surprised how this young man dared to speak like this. Most people were timid in front of the emperor, and they didn't even dare to show off their grandeur. But Fang Jie's natural ruffian and the kind of happy cleverness seemed to really make His Majesty like it very much.

"How do you know I will reward you?"

The emperor asked with a smile.

Fang Jie said seriously: "Because Your Majesty is a wise ruler."

The emperor couldn't help laughing and pointed at Fang Jie and said, "What do you mean is that if I don't reward you, I will be a fool?"

Fang Jie quickly lowered his head and said, "How is that possible? I firmly believe that Your Majesty will reward me."

"Robber!"

The emperor glanced at him, was silent for a while and raised his head and said, "I didn't plan to reward you, because you know why. I have been disrespectful to the orders one after another. If it were someone else, I had killed you ten or eight times. Because I pity your talent, I made an exception to save your life and serve the country."

Fang Jie gave a great gift by lifting the robe: "Thank you for your kindness!"

The emperor was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking, "I haven't rewarded you yet."

Fang Jie said: "Your Majesty does not kill me, I feel that it is already a great reward."

The emperor smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid I'm a little quarrel... But I know you are loyal. Put the credit and mistakes aside. Since I am loyal, I will naturally reward you."

The emperor glanced at Su Buwei, who hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty's decree: In the 12th year of Tianyou, the first right servant of the Martial Arts Academy was named Fang Jie. He was young and capable, loyal to the country, and made many extraordinary achievements. The Great Sui Dynasty won the talent without any restrictions. If he had any merits, he should be rewarded. He specially granted Fang Jie to be the first-class viscount and was awarded the rank of Ranger General!"

First-class Viscount...Carriage General?

Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, but he really didn't expect to get these. Although the Ranger General was only a virtual title, he was a real fifth-rank. How many people fought for the rest of their lives and could not get into the fifth-rank position. The first-class viscount, although he did not have his own fief, was a large sum of silver every year. The most important thing was that the viscount was not a valuable empty title like the right servant, which meant that Fang Jie had completely separated from ordinary people and was a noble of the Great Sui Dynasty.

This was completely beyond Fang's expectations, so he felt a little dizzy.

"certainly……"

The emperor smiled and said, "It's not for free to give you... Since you already have an official position, you can't stay in the Martial Arts Academy all day as usual. If you have errands, I will tell you to do it. If you don't have errands, you can continue to be your student in the Martial Arts Academy."

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, Long live Your Majesty... I am a little stupid, please breathe a sigh of relief."

After a while, Fang Jie grinned, then raised his head and asked seriously: "Your Majesty... Are you going to the northwest this time?"

The emperor shook his head: "Someone recommended you to go to the northwest, but I rejected it. They said that you understand the northwest and will be helpful to the court's troops. I know what they said is right. If you choose a pioneer, you are indeed quite suitable. But you are not qualified and have insufficient prestige. And leading troops is not just loyalty, you do not have the ability. And..."
