After saying this, he didn't hear Dai Wang's reply. Fang Zhen glanced at Dai Wang again and found that Dai Wang's expression was indifferent, obviously he didn't believe what he said.
Fang Zhen sighed again, but said nothing more and directly stated his thoughts: "Your Highness, I invite you here this time for the sake of Qingyuan Temple."
"Qingyuan Temple?" Su Ziji was startled. He thought a lot, but he didn't expect that for this matter, he looked at it and already had thoughts in his heart.
Fang Zhen ignored it and continued: "After the big demon hid in the capital, all the monks of Qingyuan Temple were taken to prison. It is said that the torture was very severe. Many monks could not bear the torture and were beaten to death.
"
Although Su Ziji had never heard of this, when he heard it now, he didn't feel strange and thought to himself: "This is the emperor's intention to reduce the power and prestige of King Qi, but he just wants to attack the monks of Qingyuan Temple first."
Not talking about this world, just talking about the world where I lived in my previous life, there were similar things.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, Lan Yu was a member of the prince's party. As soon as the prince died, Lan Yu ransacked his family and exterminated his family. Now to reduce the power and prestige of King Qi, it was inevitable to kill Qingyuan Temple.
It is said that when an emperor is angry, he will lay down millions of corpses. No one will stop such bloodshed. If only one Qingyuan Temple is sacrificed, no one will care about it.
You can't interfere in this matter. If you really want to ask yourself, how can you agree to something you can't do?
Su Ziji thought like this and shook his head: "You want me to save them? I can't control this matter."
Fang Xiaohouye smiled bitterly and said: "It's nothing else. I don't have the shame to ask you to stop this. It's just that my friend from back then, Mr. Lin Guo, is dead, and Bianxuan's life and death are unpredictable. If there is a chance, I can just save this person."
.”
Only save Benxuan?
Thinking of the elegant and handsome monk, Su Ziji not only fell into deep thought.
To save or not to save?
He really couldn't agree to save all the monks of Qingyuan Temple. This would directly undermine the emperor's plan and put him in danger. However, if he could only save Benxuan alone, it wouldn't be impossible to give it a try.
Even if you fail, as long as you are properly prepared, you will not be implicated.
If he is involved, the emperor will not be angry.
This is a natural tacit understanding in official circles, even between monarchs and ministers.
Su Ziji had no ill feelings toward Bianxuan, and even regretted that their relationship was not pure. There were also forces behind Bianxuan. In a sect like Su Ziji and the Yin Guan sect, which was based on demon elimination, it was bound to be
In the case of mortal enemies, it is not impossible to take the opportunity to save Benxuan and owe him a great favor.
Even if he really wins the throne in the future, will he really want to destroy the Taoist sect? The emperor cannot kill them all, not because it is impossible, but because it is a bad idea.
"Keep it for Benxuan, it may be useful in the future."
Thinking of this, Su Ziji decided to agree to Fang Zhen: "Let's talk about it, you and I are friends. I tell the truth, it is impossible to save Qingyuan Temple."
The way of doing politics at level 15 has deeply made him understand what politics is.
"You also know that the most taboo thing for a superior is for a minister to interfere with his or her fundamental intention."
"It can also be said that the strategic line, no matter who commits it, will not be tolerated."
"But it's fine just to argue."
Then he smiled again: "However, my help is not in vain. I took the letter this time and asked you to help me with something."
"Please speak on behalf of the king." Fang Zhen was a little surprised.
"I want to hold a martial arts tournament at the Habayashi Guards. However, the competition in the military is just a cover. Outsiders can also participate. I want to recruit some martial arts instructors. You have good connections. Please notify those masters."
What is the king trying to do? To win over people in the world openly? Aren't you afraid of arousing the emperor's fear and dissatisfaction?
Among the dignitaries in the capital, no one knows the situation of the acting king better than Mr. Fang Xiaohou. He may seem to have unlimited glory, but in fact every step he takes is dangerous. Once he takes a wrong step, all previous efforts may be wasted and all efforts will be in vain.
King Dai is not such a careless person, so why did he suddenly change his behavior and become public?
Seeing Mr. Fang Xiaohou's surprise, Su Ziji knew that the news about the assassin entering Prince Dai's palace had not yet spread.
Su Ziji said lightly: "Today, there was an assassination in our house."
He said it in an understatement, but Fang Zhen was shocked.
If he hadn't been lying in bed and couldn't move rashly, he would have performed to Dai Wang what it means to be as dumb as a wooden chicken.
There was an assassination in the palace. How terrible is this?
This is the capital, and you are the palace!
An assassin has entered the palace of the majestic capital. This is a shocking thing. How can you treat it so lightly?
Especially since the capital city has just experienced the hiding of the great demon, and assassins have entered Prince Dai's palace, and it is connected with the incident of the great demon, I am afraid that the man on the dragon throne will not be able to sleep.
"You are overthinking this assassin, or someone we both know." Su Ziji signaled Fang Zhen to calm down, smiled, and explained the matter.
When talking about the dead, although his tone was calm, Fang Zhen could still feel a sense of eeriness.
Also, it would be hard not to be angry if I were faced with such a direct slap in the face.
"It's Prince Qi, why is he so...rude?" Fang Xiaohou finally understood what Prince Dai meant. This meant that Prince Dai's palace wanted to strengthen its guards.
"That's okay. Then I'll help you, Your Majesty, find some Jianghu people and lobby them to participate?" Fang Zhen said hesitantly, and suddenly his heart moved.
Dai Wang looked completely trusting and smiled: "Then I'll help you."
Then he asked: "What are you missing here? If you need it, I can help you find it."
It seemed that King Dai did not believe that he had not been treated harshly by the government. Fang Zhen did not explain further this time, but shook his head directly and said: "I don't lack anything here. If I really need anything, I will ask the prince for help."
"That's good. You can go on and rest. I'll go back first. If you have anything else to do, please send me a message as soon as possible."
After saying that, Su Ziji stopped Fang Zhen from getting up and strode out directly.
When he got outside, he didn't even look at the housekeeper of Marquis Huaifeng's Mansion. He directly said to Luo Jiang and the few soldiers he brought with him: "Let's go back."
Luo Jiang followed, with several government soldiers following behind him in a protective manner.
Seeing this, the steward of the Marquis Huaifeng Mansion couldn't tell what the acting king's attitude was when he saw the eldest son, so he could only escort him out carefully.
In the bedroom filled with the smell of medicine, Mr. Fang Xiaohou was leaning on the bedside, staring at the door in trance.
It wasn't until someone came in that he came back to his senses and asked, "The king has left?"
"Already left by car."
The young servant replied, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Fang Zhen, "Sir, this is the information I just received. There was a murder in Dai Wang's palace, and someone has sent it to the Imperial City Department."
Fang Zhen had just heard King Dai talk about the affairs of King Dai's palace. Now he took the information received by his subordinates and read it carefully. He couldn't help but sigh: "King Qi is too cruel. He took revenge on the same day as the king was celebrating. This is
Who are you going to slap in the face?"
Putting the information aside, he thought of King Dai's previous proposal and sighed: "No wonder King Dai wants to strengthen the palace guards."
That's all. What will the emperor think when he hears this news?
