On March 20th, more than a month has passed since Prince Yi's rebellion. A group of prisoners were executed every day in Caishikou, Chang'an City. At most, thousands of people were killed, and when there were fewer than a few hundred people. When Fang Jie's order to go to Yongzhou in the southwest, Fang Jie made a rough estimate. In the past month, the emperor had cut at least 30,000 heads.

This time when he went to Yongzhou, Fang Jie's identity was an imperial envoy, so there were quite a few entourages. In addition to the people around him, Luo Weiran also transferred a flying fish robe from fifty guards to accompany him, and Mu Xiaoyao led these people as a thousand households. In addition, several officials from the Ministry of Rites accompanied him.

Fang Jie took the big dog and Qilin away and went to Qingle Mountain to find the ten elite soldiers of the battalion who protected Wu Yinyu. These ten people were Fang Jie's secret strength and could not be easily exposed. So Fang Jie arranged for the big dog and Qilin to contact them, and after finding them, he rushed directly from Qingle Mountain to Yongzhou. After arriving there, he did not meet with Fang Jie's team of troops, but waited secretly to contact them.

Since he had been in the secret prison of the Da Neiwei Office for half a year, Fang Jie has become more and more cautious in his work. Although the black boy Yan Kuang, scholar Chen Xiaoru, and strong man Nie Xiaoju have been following him for a while, Fang Jie does not fully trust these three people. Relatively speaking, Fang Jie would rather trust the ten strangers outside the palace camps.

He had already prepared it, so he would not seem panic when he started immediately. Fang Jie planned to leave Beijing early the next morning. After receiving the order, he decided to say goodbye to people who were familiar with him first. He always had a premonition, and he felt that he might not come back for a long time after leaving Chang'an this time. It was precisely because of this bad premonition that he had to bring everyone around him.

Of course, this may just be that he was so cautious that he was worried about gains and losses.

Before he left the house, a servant in green clothes and hats first went outside the shop. Fang Jie asked for a visit and handed over an invitation. Fang Jie looked at it and saw that there were a large number of names on the invitation. They were all court officials, including Yang Shouquan, the new minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Zong Lianghu, the minister of the Ministry of War. There were also many noble children, and even several princes.

Logically speaking, people with such an identity should have given the invitation card separately. But now so many people with good identities are gathered together, it is obvious that there is a deep meaning. Fang Jie thought for a moment and then realized it, and couldn't help but smile in his heart. These big names wanted to see him off and treat him at Mercury Tower. The reason why so many people only sent one invitation is still because they are inseparable from Prince Yi's case.

Now is the time when the court is sensitive. If these big men send invitations to Fang one by one, they will obviously attract many people's attention. The censors and doctors in the Censorate have been fully motivated to make a few important big men. If they know about it, they will inevitably participate in a few books.

These people obviously discussed it privately, so they decided to get together to send off the farewell. With so many big people's next invitation, the place where they eat is not the most luxurious place in Chang'an City. The deliberate low-key performance is just not to want people to catch any handle.

Although Prince Yi's rebellion case has almost been settled, its impact has become increasingly wider. Officials have been secretly hostile to each other, but now they have been biting each other on the surface. Everyone hopes to take this opportunity to send their opponents to the Ministry of Justice. As long as they have nothing to do with Prince Yi, they will have to lose their skin.

If the Emperor Long Yan hadn't been furious later, he got angry and cursed several officials who were biting each other, he would have been afraid that this situation would have become more and more serious.

At this sensitive time, they should not be too ostentatious when they send off Fang Jie.

Of course, many of these people are the backbone of the court now. If someone targets them, they may not be afraid. For example, Yang Shouquan, the newly promoted Minister of Rites, has a little thin bloodline of the Great Sui royal family. In terms of seniority, he is still the cousin of the current emperor. Zong Lianghu, the Minister of War, is increasingly important in the court. After all, the next major actions of the court must be centered on the Ministry of War.

Huai Qiugong is too old. It is said that Prince Yi got sick after plotting a rebellion case and never went out. But Mou Liangbi is now unknown and has no news. Therefore, both of them are very likely to go further in a very short time.

Fang Jie naturally could not refuse the invitation from these big names.

He told everyone a few words, changed his clothes and walked out of the shop. Following the servant in the green hat, he found Mercury Tower, which was not far from East Twenty-san Avenue.

The list on the invitation was shocking enough, but after I found out that the list was just a part of it.

Today, the big figure in the Mercury Tower is Luo Weiran, the commander of the Great Inner Guard Department. Zhuo Buyi, who is second only to Luo Wei in the Great Inner Guard Department, even the old minister of the Ministry of Rites, Huai Qiugong, who was unable to get sick, has come. Several of the young masters are also eye-catching.

The young man with white face and no need to be of medium figure was Yang Yansi, the prince of Prince Guo, and the one with thin figure with eagle nose and harrier eyes was Yang Yanlei, the prince of Prince Ping, and the handsome young man standing behind them was Yang Yanhui, the eldest son of Prince Xu, Yang Kai. Because the news of the defeat in the northwest was not announced, the emperor had no intention of handling it. But even so, Fang Jie still saw the uneasy and uneasy on the face of Prince Xu, Yang Yanhui, and probably he had already known the news.

The many celebrities made Fang Jie feel a little uncomfortable.

...

...

After the greetings, everyone sat down. Because there were many people and were famous figures, the flattered owner of Mercury Tower cleverly hung up signs outside that were suspended, and asked the client to redecorate the hall. Then he went to the kitchen behind to stare at it, fearing that the dishes would appear a little flaw.

There were indeed a lot of people coming, and they sat on four tables.

As the person with the highest seniority and prestige, Huai Qiugong, the Minister of Rites, was supported by everyone and sat at the top of the table in the middle. Since Fang Jie was the guest who was invited to the banquet today, he sat next to Huai Qiugong. On the other side of Huai Qiugong was Luo Weiran, the commander of the Great Inner Guard Department, and the other people were Yang Shouquan, the Minister of Rites, Zong Lianghu, the Minister of War, and His Royal Highness, the Prince of the Prince.

Other officials and nobles sat down at other tables, talking and laughing, but the scene was very lively and harmonious.

Fang Jie greeted everyone, and the corners of his mouth were a little stiff when he smiled.

"State explanation"

Huai Qiugong, who looked obviously not very good, smiled at him and said, "Looking at the scene today, even I am a little jealous of you. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the hottest young talent in Chang'an City now."

Fang Jie quickly said humbly, thinking that you guys would not reveal any news beforehand, and I was shocked when I got here.

"Successful at a young age, and a proud spring breeze."

Huai Qiugong smiled and said, "I vaguely remembered when I was young. It seemed that I didn't seem like the scene I had today when I was an imperial envoy."

Luo Weiran said: "If you say this again, Fang Jie will be scared to pee your pants."

Huai Qiugong laughed. Although his complexion was not good, he looked in a good mood. He patted Fang Jie on the shoulder and said gently, "What are you afraid of? I'm not a lie. Besides, I need to flatter him like this little guy? If you have a status and cannot be proud of your tail and be a human being all day long, then what's the use of having a status?"

"Young people are proud, so they can't be too depressed."

Fang Jie was just laughing with him, not understanding what these people mean today. However, Luo Weiran and Zhuo Buyi were both here, and obviously these people would not have any malice. In addition, Huai Qiugong was constantly showing goodwill, Fang Jie suddenly realized that he really had such a status in Chang'an City.

But I have never noticed it, nor did I feel that I have really done anything successfully.

"Mr. Xiao Fang is young and promising, so he should be a model for us. At such an age, he is still the first since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty."

Yang Yansi, the prince of Prince Guo, is a gentle person and speaks softly: "If I remember correctly, Lord Xiao Fang is not seventeen years old this year, right?"

"Return to the prince, that's right."

Fang Jie replied humbly.

Yang Yanlei, the prince of the Prince of Ping County, smiled and said: "Often, men of sixteen or seventeen years old have just grown up, and they are childish in their actions and talk too much, but Lord Xiao Fang has served for the country for many years. He made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion a while ago. Even if we are alone, we can only feel ashamed of ourselves."

The others also agreed, all of which were compliments that made people happy and uneasy. Fang Jie accompanied him for a while, and got up and left the table on the excuse of going to the bathroom. When he left, he glanced at Zhuo Buyi. Zhuo Buyi understood and walked out of the hall with him.

"What the hell is going on?"

Fang Jie held Zhuo Buyi's hand and asked, "The scene is so big that it makes people uncomfortable."

Zhuo Buyi smiled and said, "You don't know yet. A few days ago, when His Majesty and many adults were discussing affairs at the East Nuan Pavilion, they mentioned to several Grand Secretarys that they intended to make you the Prince's attendant after returning from the Southwest. Grand Secretary Niu Huilun said that you have good talent and good character, and took the lead in agreeing. Many people know about this, why don't you know?"

Fang Jie suddenly realized that Mu San was sent to the east by the emperor to issue an imperial decree, and the news in the palace was cut off. He didn't know about this at all... The prince's attendant was not a high-ranking official, right? In Fang Jie's impression, aren't people like the attendant and the prince's age children?

Seeing Fang Jie's eyes confused, Zhuo Buyi gave him a blank look and said, "When Emperor Zhenzong was in power, after he won the top scorer, he was first named the crown prince's attendant and walked in the east palace. Later... he was the crown prince's young tutor, and then he was the crown prince's grand tutor! Why did Mr. Huai have such a high status? Because he was the imperial teacher of the late emperor!"

Zhuo Buyi sighed: "I don't know that I have become a hot celebrity yet. The news about you is too closed."

"The attendant... Isn't the attendant selecting children of the same age as the crown prince and accompanying the crown prince to play and read?"

Fang Jie asked in surprise.

"How come you think so?"

Zhuo Buyi said in surprise: "Who told you this?"

Fang Jie thought that he knew about watching TV series in his previous life, do you believe it? But naturally he couldn't say it, and just shook his head: "I'm just a barracks in the border army, so how could I know so many things? After all, I got in touch with it a little bit after the imperial capital, but I was just confused."

"The prince's attendant..."

Zhuo Buyi sighed: "This is an amazing identity. Although the position of the attendant is not high, the status is transcendent. When the crown prince was young, he would select young, promising people from the Shuhua Pavilion of Wenyuan Pavilion to serve as the crown prince. In fact, it is to supervise the crown prince's study. After the crown prince's coming of age, the identity of the attendant will jump up. Generally, the most important people who teach the crown prince's studies are three, one teaches literature and the other teaches martial arts, and the other is responsible for the safety of the crown prince. These three people are all attendant ministers. After the crown prince becomes an adult, they will be promoted to the crown prince's junior teacher, the crown prince's junior tutor, and the crown prince's junior guarantee."

"It sounds...it's so awesome!"

Fang Jie sighed.

"nonsense!"

Zhuo Buyi said: "Although the crown prince's rank is not high, the crown prince's junior teacher, the crown prince's tutor, and the crown prince's junior guard are all second-rank officials!"

"But I am not Wenyuan Pavilion nor Shuhua Pavilion."

Fang Jie asked in confusion.

"I'll wait for you to come back from the southwest."

Zhuo Buyi said: "Several Grand Secretary have fought for you soon. Whether it is Shuhua Pavilion or Wenyuan Pavilion, they all want you."

"No wonder!"

Fang Jie suddenly realized Huai Qiugong's words before: "Young and proud, it's better to be more arrogant. If you have a status and have a tail and have a tail between your body, then what should you do if you have a status and status?"

"Your Majesty is deliberately making a statement and adding chips to you."

Zhuo Buyi smiled: "Luo Yao is afraid that he will not dare to underestimate you... I don't understand why His Majesty changed his mind. At first I thought I sent you there because you have a low status and low qualifications, and Luo Yao's guard against you will be low... But this is a good thing for you, isn't it?"
