Fengshui Apprentice Debuts for Ten Years and Becomes Celestial Master One hundred and seventy-six, the champion, the great consort! The throne of the country!
One hundred and seventy-six, the champion, the great consort! The throne of the country!
"Huh? It seems that your guest has thought of something?"
King Fuzun showed an intriguing smile.
"Hmm... I have thought of something, but I still don't understand. Please continue, King Fuzun."
Fang Ce crossed his fists.
"Back then, a down-and-out scholar came to Qingping Town and met Qiu Dajiao by chance. Although this scholar was down and out, he was quite talented and had good looks. Qiu Dajiao was attracted by the talent of this down-and-out scholar and fell in love with him.
The scholar was also in love, but the scholar himself was in poverty and had nothing, so he naturally married into the wealthy businessman Qiu. Later, with the help of the Qiu family, the scholar was very confident and won the first prize in the exam and was named on the gold list.
, it can be said that a good story has been achieved. And this down-and-out scholar is none other than Zhao He."
King Fuzun looked at Fang Ce with a smile.
Fang Ce frowned slightly. He probably knew what happened next, but he still asked: "What happens next?"
"Then it's a rather regrettable ending."
"Oh? What a pity? What's the explanation?"
Fang Ce was confused. From the truth he knew, what happened next should not be a matter of regret, but anger, right?
"Later, Qiu Dajiao encountered bandits during a trip and was kidnapped. The number one scholar searched for him for half a year to no avail, and left Qingping Town frustrated."
King Fu Zun said calmly.
"I encountered bandits and was kidnapped? What else?"
Fang Zhihua frowned. This must not be the truth. It must have been fabricated by Zhao He, the number one scholar in the family, but it seems that these things have nothing to do with him at the moment...
"After the number one scholar left Qingping Town, he was transferred to the capital to serve. In the next six months, he met the current eldest princess and became the eldest son-in-law.
After becoming the prince-in-law, the number one scholar spent many years doing good deeds and doing good deeds. He was also courteous to the virtuous and corporal, and sometimes supported the needy scholars who came to Beijing. Later, many of these scholars also obtained honors.
Gradually, this great prince-in-law has become highly virtuous and respected, and has many peaches and plums all over the world. And now that the Holy Emperor is the empress, he has even been granted the title of Duke of the country."
King Fuzun looked at Fang Ce calmly.
"This... a great prince-in-law? A highly virtuous and respected prince? The number one scholar has good luck, which is enviable. He also has noble moral character, which is admirable."
Fang Ce looked sighing, but he was surprised in his heart. The number one scholar turned out to be a highly respected duke. If he didn't know the truth, he really couldn't be connected with the murderer who murdered his wife before. It's just...
What does this have to do with his strategy? He has never met this married number one scholar, so there should be no grudges...
At this moment, King Fuzun continued to narrate: "It is indeed very good, but a month ago, the news of a case made this highly respected Duke almost discredited and questioned..."
"Oh? Is this happening? What case?"
Fang Ce was surprised.
"The Duke's ex-wife Qiu Dajiao's body was found at the bottom of a lake at home, a case in which one body was killed and two lives were lost. I wonder what the distinguished guest had in mind?"
King Fuzun looked at Fang Ce with a faint smile.
"This... doesn't mean... Qiu Dajiao encountered robbers and disappeared..."
Fang Ce looked surprised. This case had been discovered? And it was reported a month ago? I remember when Qiu Dajiao's body was picked up, it was a few years ago...
"It is said that the theory that Qiu Dajiao encountered robbers and was kidnapped only came from the Duke of Guo's mouth. And this case has completely overturned the Duke's statement. I believe that your distinguished guest also knows what this means, right?"
"Well...this is indeed quite unexpected. So...what happened to me during my trip to the capital was because of this incident?"
Fang Ce hesitated. After all, although this case was slightly related to him, because this case was targeted, it seemed a little unreasonable and even unbelievable.
After all, he only revealed the source of the resentful spirit at the beginning, and it was Master Ji who discovered it. He was not involved in the subsequent case investigation or the truth...
At this moment, King Fu Zun just smiled and took a sip of tea, and then slowly spoke: "A few years ago, distinguished guest, you followed the Feng Shui master Jixing to the courtyard where Qiu Dajiao lived to adjust the Feng Shui and get rid of the resentment caused by Qiu Dajiao.
Ling, and Feng Shui master Ji Xing was also killed.
In the end, only the distinguished guest escaped, and then the distinguished guest told the corpse in the lake and confirmed it by himself, right?"
"This... is true, but I don't know that it is Qiu Dajiao's body. Can this also involve me?"
Fang Ce was surprised.
"Did your distinguished guest know that the identities of those corpses are that of Qiu Dajiao and her unborn baby? In fact, the identity has been discovered long ago."
"oh?"
"It's just that the Qingping Town Yamen discovered that this might involve the highly respected Duke of the country. They knew the seriousness of the matter, so after many investigations and verifications, they finally confirmed it, but they did not dare to continue the investigation easily.
.”
"Then what?"
Fang Ce was confused. He still vaguely remembered Shao Changying's reaction when he asked Shao Changying. It seemed that he had far underestimated the seriousness of this case at that time...
"Then after many twists and turns, the case was reported to the capital a year ago, and the capital officially intervened. After several twists and turns, it was finally determined a month ago that the Duke of Guo has a major suspicion in this case."
King Fu Zun smiled lightly.
"It's really gone through a lot of twists and turns, what about the Duke now?"
Fang Ce hesitated to ask. After several years, he finally confirmed it a month ago. It can be seen that the case involved is not simple. It is no wonder that he was deceived into coming to the capital now. But what is the situation of the Duke now?
It stands to reason that after being involved in this case, the Duke's reputation should have been ruined, so he still dares to commit crimes against the wind? If so, then the Duke has gone too far to cover the sky with one hand, right? What kind of method is this? You must know that the Duke
Originally, he was just a first-in-law, not a big force, with a profound background of royal bloodline...
"Nowadays, apart from having a somewhat disreputable reputation, this prince is still extremely powerful."
King Fu Zun smiled lightly.
"Oh? Is this Duke really capable of this?"
Fang Ce couldn't help but be surprised.
"Let me tell you this, Qiu Dajiao's case has been suppressed a month ago after it was determined that the Duke was a major suspect. No one dared to touch it or continue the investigation. So there is still no result in this case.
The case has not yet come to light.”
King Fuzun picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Suppressed? Is this Duke's method really that great?"
Fang Ce couldn't help but feel a little weird. After all, the King Fu Zun in front of him was not a simple person. How could the number one scholar be better than this King Fu Zun? Or should I say that King Fu Zun turned a blind eye and didn't interfere in this matter.
case?
"You can't figure it out, are you? I will tell you about one more person."
"who?"
"The eldest princess."
"The eldest princess? The Duke's power is only because of the eldest princess? Then you don't know this eldest princess?"
Fang Ce was surprised. The eldest princess was the elder sister of the Holy One. However, no matter how caring he was, the Holy One would not let the eldest princess act so randomly, right? At least it wouldn't be so difficult for the Holy One to protect someone, right? He could only do so.
It shows that the eldest princess herself is not simple...
"The eldest princess was the most favored daughter of the crown prince and the emperor, and the most favored granddaughter of the father. She was sent to the Taoist Master Mingguang at a young age and became the closed disciple of the Taoist Master Mingguang.
After the accidental death of the prince and brother many years ago, the eldest princess was even more cherished by her father and Taoist Master Mingguang. So to what extent can the power and energy in her name reach, what can our distinguished guests imagine?"
King Fuzun responded calmly.
"This... I am a commoner, so naturally I can't predict..."
Fang Ce shook his head, so to speak, the eldest princess's background power is extremely strong... After all, even Taoist Master Mingguang, who is now second only to Taoist Shengtian, is her backer!
"Oh, your distinguished guest is too modest. Now this eldest princess can be said to be truly powerful in the imperial court. Even I have to retreat from her sharpness. And the reason why the current Holy Emperor can ascend the throne..."
As King Fuzun spoke, he stopped, took a sip of wine, and had no intention of continuing.
At this moment, Fang Ce couldn't help but his eyes flickered. According to the meaning of King Fu Zun's words, the reason why the current Holy Emperor is the current Holy Emperor is entirely because of the eldest princess!? Is this an existence that can influence the throne? So if it is such a person, indeed
It can make everything difficult for the Holy Emperor! After all, from a deep level, the real master of the imperial court can be said to be the eldest princess!
In addition, King Fuzun's words also revealed a piece of information, that is, if it were not for the existence of the eldest princess, the current Holy Emperor would most likely be King Fuzun! Because no matter from which aspect, King Fuzun fully possesses the power of a country.
Your terms!
A truly martial war god with outstanding military exploits, no matter the means, courage, or identity, is almost unique in all aspects. Isn't this enough to ascend to the throne?
"Then I am almost clear about this matter. Because of the eldest princess's overwhelming power, the Duke suppressed the case of Qiu Dajiao's murder. But this case has not yet been fully investigated.
I, the Feng Shui apprentice who proved the origin of Qiu Dajiao’s bones, has become the key to the case? Does the Duke now plan to start with me and completely close this case?"
Fang Ce asked hesitantly. In fact, he still had some suspicions, that is, the eldest princess should not really be able to control the sky with one hand. At least there is a balancing force in the court, and this force is King Fu Zun in front of him!
Otherwise, this case of marrying into the first place of marriage should not be so troubled. It would just be a matter of conclusively saying that the first place of marriage is "innocent". Anyway, it is handled by the eldest princess. In this situation, there are obviously checks and balances.
This is King Fuzun who knows the case well!
Going deeper, maybe his strategy has become a bargaining chip between the forces of King Fuzun and the eldest princess?
"The distinguished guest is indeed very secretive and can easily see through the nature of the matter."
King Fu Zun smiled and nodded.
"I didn't expect such a ridiculous thing to happen. I'm really unlucky..."
Fang Ce sighed softly, drank the wine in the glass, and then clasped his fists: "Thank you very much, King Fuzun, for telling the truth. If you have the chance, I will definitely thank you."
In fact, he did not completely believe what King Fuzun said. After all, it was still unknown what role King Fuzun played in this incident. Moreover, every word and action of people like King Fuzun had a purpose.
, how can you be gullible?
"If your distinguished guest really wants to thank me, it's actually very simple."
King Fu Zun smiled and filled another glass of wine for Fang Ce.
"Oh? King Fu Zun needs my help now."
Fang Ce was confused.
"Frankly speaking, I appreciate your distinguished guest very much. Now that your distinguished guest is covered in dust and cannot be appreciated, he is still just a Feng Shui apprentice. If your distinguished guest does not dislike it, I would like to find a position for your distinguished guest."
King Fuzun looked at Fang Ce with a smile.
"this……"
Fang Ce looked at King Fuzun steadily. It seemed that King Fuzun was really trying to win over him. So how much control did King Fuzun have over him now?
"King Fuzun is joking. I am still young in qualifications and have limited abilities. I am afraid that I will not be qualified for any important positions and will live up to King Fuzun's high expectations."
Fang Ce immediately responded with cupped fists. He was willing to be promoted, but he was not very interested in mediating in this turbulent power struggle.
What's more, this King Fu Zun is not a kind person. He is well aware of the banditry in Yu County.
No matter from any angle, he doesn't have much fondness for King Fu Zun now, but it's hard to say that he hates him. It can only be said that he has some repulsion and resistance in his heart.
"Is that so... Since your distinguished guest has made up his mind, I don't want to force you to do so. However, if your honored guest has an idea one day, you can come to see me at any time. The door of Prince Fuzun's palace will always be open to your distinguished guests."
King Fu Zun raised his glass in greeting.
"I am extremely frightened by King Fu Zun's appreciation. I am really too ashamed to deserve it. I am too ashamed to deserve it."
Fang Ce quickly raised his glass in response, and he was even more sure that King Fu Zun had a lot of knowledge about him! It was very likely that he already knew that he was Master Shengxie! Otherwise, how could such a person treat a Feng Shui apprentice like this?
Like courtesy?
At this moment, he couldn't help but remember that when he was accumulating talismans in the Hecheng area and preparing to overcome the tribulation, there was a pheasant girl who asked him for help. She was vaguely related to King Fu Zun. Perhaps King Fu Zun had already known about his identity at that time.
I have some insights...
King Fuzun smiled and said nothing more, just quietly drinking with Fang Ce.
After a while.
"King Fu Zun, it's getting late. I'm afraid the fairy has returned from the sage, so I will take my leave."
Fang Ce stood up, cupped his fists and saluted.
"please."
King Fu Zun smiled and signaled.
Fang Ce glanced at King Fuzun one last time, gave another salute, and then turned around and left.
After Fang Ce left Prince Fuzun's palace.
An old man wearing a gray Taoist robe came to the pavilion where King Fu Zun was.
"Teacher, what do you think?"
King Fu Zun stood up, cupped his fists and saluted the old man respectfully.
"Well... I can't tell. This person's aura is very well hidden. At first glance, he is just an ordinary Feng Shui apprentice. It's not simple..."
The old man shook his head.
"You can't even see through the teacher? This person is indeed very hidden and very vigilant. From what I saw just now, if I hadn't already known this person, I would have thought that he was just a mediocre person.
generation."
King Fuzun couldn't help but nodded slightly on the table, looking thoughtful.
"So, are you sure he is the one?"
The old man spoke quietly.
"We are not completely sure yet and need further testing, but this does not prevent me from wooing him. After all, this person is not an ordinary person anyway."
King Fu Zun shook his head.
"Oh? It's just that this guy doesn't seem to care about you."
"On the surface, this is indeed the case. However, if this person is really that person, there will definitely not be too much black and white. Then the only thing that can affect his decision should be the fairy he talks about."
King Fu Zun spoke quietly.
"Fairy...that little girl? The origin of this little girl seems to be not simple..."
"It's really not simple. A little girl whose identity is a mystery and not even known to the eldest princess can make the Holy Lord think so highly of her. There are also Qianxue Zhenren, good and evil Taoist... even Dao Master Kuanglei has a different attitude towards her.
Seems too unusual.
In addition, the Feng Shui apprentice Fang Ce, who was supposed to have an ordinary background, suddenly became a Feng Shui apprentice that even the king could not understand. The origin of this fairy is indeed very simple. In today's world, there are only a few people who can have this ability.
Not many..."
King Fu Zun was thoughtful.
"Oh? You already have an idea?"
The old man asked calmly.
"I'm not sure yet. After all, I don't know much about the man back then. Now it depends on whether our highly respected Duke can help me..."
King Fu Zun shook his head lightly.
"Duke? Humph."
The old man sneered, seeming to be quite disdainful of the Duke.
On the other side, Fang Ce was picked up by King Fuzun's carriage. After returning to the inn, he found that Xin Yu had not returned yet, so he had to wait boredly.
After waiting for a few moments, Xin Yu returned, but his expression was heavy, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.
"Fairy, are you back? How was your conversation with the Holy Emperor? Fairy, do you think you have encountered some kind of problem?"
Fang Ce was confused. Now it seems that the situation may be exactly as King Fuzun said. He wonders if there will be more news from the beauty boss. After all, what King Fuzun said may not be the whole picture. Whether it is unintentional or intentional,
Or maybe it's just personal bias, there will be differences.
At this moment, Xin Yu shook his head solemnly: "Well, the situation is not optimistic..."
