Chapter 186: A small private meeting with Princess Xiangcheng
"Back to the princess, someone from Bishamon set a trap for me tonight and almost cost me and dozens of government officials our lives."
"I caught one of them, and I found out that he was from the Duke of Song's Mansion. It happened that the steward of the Duke of Song's Palace knew a lot about this person, and wanted to ask the steward of the Duke of Song's Palace to go back and cooperate with the investigation, but Duke Song was unwilling and tried to stop him."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said slowly.
Maybe Princess Xiangcheng will help him.
After all, she is a princess, so she does not need to worry too much about the appearance of her father-in-law and her husband.
Duke Xiangcheng opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xiao Yu.
"Fang Yuan, you are so slanderous!"
"Princess, don't listen to his slander!"
Xiao Yu shouted loudly.
Staring at Fang Yuan coldly.
Xiao Rui also stared at Fang Yuan, his eyes full of green murderous intent.
"Slander?"
"Song Guogong, which of my words is slander?"
Fang Yuan sneered and asked Xiao Yu.
Everything he said was true, but Xiao Yu couldn't afford it, so he had to cheat.
"Every word is slander!"
"Princess, please don't interfere in this matter. I will make it clear to Your Majesty tomorrow!"
Xiao Yu snorted coldly.
Princess Xiangcheng, who wanted to speak, sighed in her heart and finally chose to remain silent.
Now that even her father has moved out, she has nothing to say and can no longer help Fang Yuan.
"Do you want to have a confrontation?"
"My subordinates all saw it with their own eyes."
Fang Yuan pointed at Zheng Jiu and others and laughed.
"Ridiculous!"
"My servants are watching with my own eyes. When have I ever stopped you?"
Xiao Yu sneered.
"If you don't stop him, then let me take him away."
Fang Yuan said.
Zheng Jiu wanted to take Sun Yongxin away again.
"You want to arrest someone without official documents, or without His Majesty's oral instructions or imperial edicts?"
Xiao Yu sneered.
Did not fall into Fang Yuan’s text trap.
"Song Guogong is indeed unreasonable!"
"If I hadn't considered that Chang'an City is where His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor and all the ministers live, I wouldn't have bothered to say so much to Song Guogong."
"Since Song Guogong is so insistent, when I complain to His Majesty tomorrow, I must remember to tell His Majesty that I have wanted to take the person away many times to cooperate with the investigation."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said coldly.
"No need for you to remind me!"
Xiao Yu sneered.
"Fang Yuan, you broke into the Duke's residence at night and repeatedly contradicted the Duke. You are disrespectful and disrespectful. I will also state this to Your Majesty!"
Xiao Rui interjected.
His mood has recovered a lot.
But still staring at Fang Yuan.
"Whatever."
Fang Yuan waved his hand.
Salute to Princess Xiangcheng and leave.
The large group of people followed and soon left the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion.
However, the government officials guarding the various exits of the Duke of Song Mansion did not leave, and were left behind by Fang Yuan.
Since it is impossible to take people away, it is also impossible to let people come out, at least not until tomorrow morning.
"Arrogant Fang Yuan, I will kill you sooner or later!"
Xiao Rui couldn't help but growled in a low voice.
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Xiangcheng frowned and her eyes flashed with disgust.
If the city is too shallow and the temper is too explosive, this kind of character will suffer sooner or later.
Xiao Rui was not like this before, but he has completely changed since that incident.
"Shut up!"
"Have you ever spoken like this?"
Xiao Yu frowned and immediately scolded Xiao Rui.
No matter how much hatred you have for Fang Yuan, you can't say it in a big way.
Who knows how many other people's eyes and ears there are in the Song Dynasty Duke's mansion, it would be bad if such angry words were heard.
Not to mention others, even his new daughter-in-law, Princess Xiangcheng, is not of the same mind as his family, and she must endure everything.
"Father taught me this."
Xiao Rui's body trembled and he quickly lowered his head and said.
"Dad, Bishamon is an important target that my father has always been concerned about."
"If Fang Yuan is really the one who captured Nabi Sramana, wouldn't it be bad for us to do this?"
Princess Xiangcheng said with a worried look on her face.
Bishamon is the number one land in Li Shimin's heart.
Because the name of this organization is the nickname of Prince Yin.
People still don’t know what its existence has to do with Prince Yin.
But with such a taboo name, it is natural that many people will pay attention to it.
"Don't worry, princess."
Xiao Yu didn’t explain too much.
Although his status is not as high as Princess Xiangcheng.
But after all, he is also the father-in-law of Princess Xiangcheng, so there is no need to be too polite.
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the living room without looking back, leaving his back to Princess Xiangcheng.
"Then I'll go back first."
Princess Xiangcheng frowned slightly, but she had no objection.
Ever since Xiao Yu and Pei Ji teamed up to force her to marry Xiao Rui, she didn't have much affection for Xiao Yu.
"Princess, I..."
Xiao Rui stopped Princess Xiangcheng and wanted to keep Princess Xiangcheng.
But the words were stuck in her mouth, and in the end she couldn't speak out, so she looked at Princess Xiangcheng pleadingly.
"Xiao Rui, please stay and go home early."
Princess Xiangcheng smiled and said.
He seemed to be very gentle, and then turned around and left.
Xiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Princess Xiangcheng's figure with confusion.
He believes that as long as he accepts treatment, he will recover sooner or later.
On that day, the stunning woman in front of him will officially become his wife.
As for Fang Yuan...kill, kill, kill!
Xiao Rui didn't look back until Princess Xiangcheng completely disappeared from sight.
He took a deep breath, his eyes became gloomy, and walked in the direction where Xiao Yu just left.
Tonight, Fang Yuan forced his way into Song Guogong's mansion and it's not over yet!
It's late at night.
Fang Yuan led the team back to the county government office.
Suddenly, several coughs sounded in a dark alley.
In an instant, Zheng Jiu, You Chengzhou and others looked over there cautiously.
"You go back first!"
"Bo Wu, Zheng Jiu stays!"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then gave the order.
"Yes!"
You Chengzhou doesn’t know what’s going on.
But he didn't dare to ask Fang Yuan why, so he led the team to leave.
Fang Yuan, Xue Bowu and Zheng Jiu were the only three people left at the scene.
"You two wait for me here."
Fang Yuan ordered.
Then he walked in the direction of the sound just now.
The night is hazy, the moon is dim, and only one or two meters can be seen clearly on the street.
After walking into the alley, my vision became even blurrier, and I could barely see my fingers, as if I was in darkness.
"How did you know it was me?"
In the darkness, there was a sound.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Princess, are you okay?"
Fang Yuan can't see anyone.
But I heard the voice of Princess Xiangcheng.
Faintly, Fang Yuan could still smell the familiar body fragrance of Princess Xiangcheng.
"I can't call you if nothing happens?"
Princess Xiangcheng said softly.
Fang Yuan felt that Princess Xiangcheng's body fragrance was stronger.
After a while, Fang Yuan saw Princess Xiangcheng walking out and saw a figure.
Although the alley is dark, you can vaguely see each other clearly if you get close.
"That's definitely not the case."
Fang Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.
The meeting of a man and a woman alone in the middle of the night is very imaginative.
"I want to remind you to be careful."
"Song Guogong is intolerant and intolerant. He will definitely find ways to bring you down tomorrow."
Princess Xiangcheng reminded.
When she was at the Duke of Song's residence, she thought about helping Fang Yuan.
But after saying a few words, I felt that it was of little use, unreasonable, and ultimately unhelpful.
So on the way back, I happened to come into contact with Fang Yuan, so I stepped back and met Fang Yuan privately to remind Fang Yuan.
"Don't worry, he can't make trouble."
Fang Yuan believed.
"So confident?"
Princess Xiangcheng said in surprise.
Xiao Yu was a duke and a veteran minister, and he had many disciples in the court.
Facing such a person, Fang Yuan can still be so confident?
"You'll know tomorrow."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
It's not that he has confidence, but that he believes in Li Shimin.
With my own qualifications, it is almost impossible for me to be the Chang'an Order.
But he was still promoted to Chang'an Order, which shows that Li Shimin made great efforts.
After working so hard to put himself in this position, would he allow himself to be impeached and removed from office so quickly?
What's more, he didn't do anything tonight, he was just acting impartially, and Xiao Yu couldn't afford to make a big splash.
"That's fine, I'll go back first."
Princess Xiangcheng smiled slightly.
Seeing that Fang Yuan was confident, she was not worried.
Just as he was about to retreat, he found that his hand was held by Fang Yuan.
"You've already come, are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Fang Yuan smiled evilly and pulled Princess Xiangcheng over with a little force.
The next moment, Xiangyu fell into my arms.
Princess Xiangcheng screamed.
She didn't expect Fang Yuan to be so bold.
Subconsciously, I looked around in panic, only to notice that the surroundings were completely dark.
Seeing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, followed by shyness and a rapid heartbeat.
"Fang Yuan, are you okay?"
Outside, Xue Bowu asked worriedly.
Zheng Jiu was also worried about Fang Yuan's safety, but his expression was a bit strange.
Because the scream just now was that of a woman, and the scream seemed a bit shy.
"I'm fine."
Fang Yuan shouted outside.
He lowered his head and stared at Princess Xiangcheng in his arms.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Princess Xiangcheng said in a trembling voice.
She could feel Fang Yuan's breath hitting her face.
The hot breath made her whole body feel hot, reminding her of that day at Pinxiang Restaurant.
"The princess has an appointment with me at a place like this so late. If I don't understand the style, won't I be chilling the princess's heart?"
Fang Yuan smiled evilly.
Hug Princess Xiangcheng tighter.
An alley, a dark night, a man and a woman alone.
If he couldn't understand Princess Xiangcheng's good intentions, Fang Yuan felt that he would have to buy a piece of tofu and get killed.
"You, what are you talking nonsense about?"
"I just happened to meet you here."
Princess Xiangcheng is so ashamed.
Struggling to break away from Fang Yuan's embrace.
"Really?"
"Why don't I feel like it?"
Fang Yuan didn't believe it and stared at Princess Xiangcheng.
Although Princess Xiangcheng struggled, she tried to resist and welcome her, but she didn't use any strength.
"Really!"
"Let me go!"
"If you continue to do this, you will be blaspheming the dignity of the princess!"
Princess Xiangcheng became angry and said.
Small fists greeted Fang Yuan's chest.
Punch after punch, as weak as raindrops.
In the dark night, Fang Yuan smiled with relief, held Princess Xiangcheng's little hand, and pushed her against the wall.
The next moment, Princess Xiangcheng stopped talking or struggling, and you could vaguely see her face as red as the clouds in the sky.
Just when Fang Yuan wanted to make the next move, Princess Xiangcheng turned her head aside.
"This, it doesn't work here."
Princess Xiangcheng whispered.
She was afraid that if she was discovered, her whole life would be ruined.
"Change a place?"
Fang Yuan frowned and said.
Although it is pitch dark here, there is no guarantee that it will not be broken into by someone.
As Princess Xiangcheng and myself, we have to be careful about this kind of thing.
"You, you come with me."
Princess Xiangcheng’s voice is as soft as a mosquito.
She took Fang Yuan's hand, lowered her head, and walked deeper into the alley.
Poor Xue Bowu and Zheng Jiu didn't know that Fang Yuan had gone far away and had already enjoyed his gentle hometown. They were stunned until dawn, and their eyes turned into panda eyes.
......
The other side.
Xiao Yu and his son are talking in the study.
In addition to Xiao Rui, Xiao Yu's other two sons are also there.
In the past, when Xiao Yu had something to do, he would talk to Xiao Rui alone.
But after that incident, Xiao Yu called his other two sons.
Xiao Rui knew the reason, but he could only remain angry in his heart and did not dare to express it.
Some things, the fewer people know about them, the better, otherwise they will lose face.
"Dad, Fang Yuan was ordered by His Majesty to Chang'an. I'm afraid our impeachment alone will have no effect."
Xiao Rui said first.
"I know, I called you here just to discuss this point."
"You all tell me, do you have any good ideas that can trip up Fang Yuan tomorrow morning?"
Xiao Yu said in a deep voice.
He naturally understands that impeachment alone is useless.
But Fang Yuan didn't give himself any face tonight, and if he didn't express himself tomorrow, he would be laughed at by the whole city.
It's really abominable that a mere Chang'an order could embarrass myself so much. It's even more uncomfortable than killing him.
"Dad, it would be better to contact Prime Minister Pei to discuss it together!"
"Yesterday Fang Yuan was reporting on his work and had a conflict with Prime Minister Pei. Prime Minister Pei must also want Fang Yuan to step down."
Xiao Rui said again.
He wants to show his abilities and maintain the advantages of his eldest son.
A hundred years from now, Xiao Yu will still be able to inherit the title of Duke of Song.
"This method is good."
"But my status is not suitable for meeting Prime Minister Pei."
Xiao Rui pondered for a moment and frowned.
He and Pei Ji are both dukes, and their status is extraordinary.
Once you meet someone with this status in private, you will definitely be criticized.
Moreover, Xiao Yu has his own idea, that is, Pei Ji is only loyal to the Supreme Emperor.
If you get too close to Pei Ji, you may be marked as the emperor, the emperor may not like you, and you may be liquidated in the future.
When Xiao Rui heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head and think deeply.
Although he didn't think as deeply as Xiao Yu.
But we also know that the two princes cannot meet at will.
"Dad, why don't you let your son go to the palace to ask for help from His Highness the Third Prince?"
The second son Xiao Kai interjected.
When Xiao Rui heard this, he frowned slightly and looked at his younger brother.
He opened his mouth, but in the end he did not refute Xiao Kai's suggestion.
“Very good!”
"Xiao Kai, you should enter the palace now and express your feelings as a father."
Xiao Yu's face lit up and he said solemnly.
He, Empress Xiao, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, is the same mother and brother, and has a blood relationship with the third prince Li Ke.
Because of this relationship, the Xiao family is assumed by outsiders to be bound to Li Ke and belongs to Li Ke's party.
"Yes."
Xiao Kai’s respectful voice should be.
Entering the palace overnight with Xiao Yu's intention.
......
Fifth watch.
It's still dark.
The ministers who attended the morning court have already stood up.
Xiao Yu and other officials of fourth rank and above struggled to get up and go to the morning court.
Pass through the Zhuque Gate, enter the Chengtian Gate, and finally reach the splendid Tai Chi Palace.
The civil and military personnel of the entire dynasty, as well as relatives of the emperor, etc., separated into four lines and lined up neatly facing the throne.
At the sixth watch, the sky in the east turned white, and the sky slowly turned hazy white. Li Shimin arrived.
The morning dynasty started like this, with the ministers paying homage to the emperor.
"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
The eunuch Wang De whipped his whip and woke up all the ministers.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"The new commander of Chang'an, Fang Yuan, secretly broke into the minister's residence last night with his men, and wanted to arrest the housekeeper of the minister's residence on the pretext of doing business!"
"I refused and asked him to produce official documents or imperial edicts. He did not have any, but he tried to arrest people by force several times and almost started a fight. Fortunately, Kingo Wei Youlang was coming, otherwise I may not be able to stand here today. Please
Your Majesty makes the decision for the veteran!"
Xiao Yu walked out and said angrily.
As soon as the words fell, the whole court was in an uproar, both civil and military.
The duke has the courtesy of a duke and is not allowed to break into his mansion easily.
Fang Yuan didn't even have any official documents or imperial edicts. He just barged in on the pretext of handling a case, which was not in line with etiquette.
Not only that, but he also had a conflict with Xiao Yu, the Duke of the country, which was of a bad nature and immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers.
"Nonsense!"
"How dare he do this?!"
Li Shimin suddenly became angry and cursed.
At the same time, I was wondering, when did Fang Yuan become so reckless?
The Chang'an order that you worked so hard to appoint is actually such a reckless person?
After thinking about it, Li Shimin felt that it was impossible. Ying Mengxianchen could not be so reckless.
"Everyone in the veteran's house can testify, please make the decision for me!"
Xiao Yu’s voice became louder and his expression became more sad and angry.
"Your Majesty, when I inspected the Chang'an Order yesterday, I felt that this person was too reckless."
"But because the veteran didn't think carefully, he forgot the reason why Chang'an Ling's body had not recovered, and the inspection method was slightly inappropriate, so he didn't say anything."
"Now I hear what Duke Guo of Song said, and I am not happy about it: Chang'an's order has no dignity, acts recklessly and arrogantly, his moral character is not worthy of his position, and his qualifications are even more lacking."
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for the Duke of Song Dynasty. Please carefully consider whether Fang Yuan is suitable for the position of Chang'an Order!"
Pei Ji stood up.
Call yesterday's embarrassment a lack of consideration.
Then he expressed his attitude, impeached Fang Yuan on the spot, and accused Fang Yuande of being unworthy of his position.
The officials were in an uproar and were all shocked.
A Song Guogong, former prime minister.
A Wei Guogong, the current prime minister.
It is shocking that two people impeached the same official.
