Inheritance policy

Chapter 105

Xing Zhao was thinking hard, Empress Fang took a few sips of warm tea calmly, put the teacup on the table, then raised her eyes to look at the frowning little lady who was deep in thought, and couldn't help smiling—look seven or eight It's fun for a [-]-year-old white and clean lady to try her best to look like an adult.

After a while, the wind chime of the glazed pagoda hanging in the corridor rang lingeringly.The bamboo curtain was pulled aside at once, and a sturdy man and a tall and straight young gentleman walked into the hall accompanied by the night's moisture. Under the warm light, two black lines of different heights, fat and thin The shadows all carry a unified rustle and bloodiness.

Xing Zhao hurriedly got up, hugged Jing Ge'er's robe, raised his face, blinked, and reached out to take Fang Qi's robe.

The little lady's dark eyes put Fang Qi in a good mood, and the gloom swept away between his brows, and he smiled to see Empress Fang and sat down on the lower left: "No matter in season, summer, autumn or winter, when it gets dark, Pingxiguan will be terribly cold. At this time of year, there will be severe drought in Pingxi Pass, or overwhelming sandstorms in the morning and evening, making it impossible for people to go out.”

While talking, he handed the robe in his hand to Brother Jing, pouted, and ordered him: "Go, hang the robe behind the door, your sister is as small as a cat, you are ashamed to order her work."

Interrupted by Fang Qi, Xing Zhao's heart relaxed a little, he lowered his eyes and pursed his lips into a smile, then moved a small stool and sat on the bottom, but his eyes have been on Jing Ge'er until now Only then did she find time to take a closer look at Brother Jing.

Xingjing's complexion is not very good, no, it can't be called bad.The young man has a clear outline, a pair of bright eyes, but sharp eyebrows. He used to have fair skin, and at first glance he looked like a young man in a fine attire walking birds in Ding capital. Now his complexion is black and shining, as if his actions are carrying the Northwest The vicissitudes of life.

Perhaps he had just heard the news of his mother's death, the corners of the boy's mouth were tightly pursed, and he couldn't figure out whether he was more sad or resentful.
As soon as Brother Jing sat down, the palace people in the main hall consciously filed out, and the little palace people at the end lowered their eyes and closed the door with a "creak". With this soft sound, Empress Fang sighed softly. He was angry, and his tone was already helpless when he spoke.

"What did the emperor say with his elder brother? The Fang family has managed the Northwest for many years, but now they let you Zhili Central Committee"

Fang Qi smiled, and moved his eyes to Xing Zhao who was sitting obediently at the bottom. The little lady is only so old, and the queen didn't tell her to avoid it.
I also thought of Xingzhao's sentence in the wedding hall, "At least the ceremony is done".Suspicious in his heart, but forced himself to restrain himself, knowing in his heart that Ah Fu's debts can only be collected by them, the ins and outs are complicated and redundant, so let's take it slowly, one by one.

"The emperor just pulled me from Pingxiguan to Dingjing, but didn't transfer me to the former military commander or the Chinese military commander with a big wave of his hand. It is already a great grace of the emperor."

The corner of Fang Qi's mouth twitched, his expression was very disdainful, he looked at the window lattice through which there were a few lights and a few dark shadows of the palace people, and said nothing.

But Xing Zhao suddenly understood that the Fang family's foundation is in the northwest, military generals are no better than civil servants, civil servants talk about reputation, military generals talk not only about strength, but also reputation!Fame in the army is a gold medal to protect yourself from death!Uncle's reputation in the northwest is unquestionable. The Fang family army was brought out by his uncle from birth to death, and the loyal bodyguards around him were all dug out from the pool of blood and the pile of dead people.

The Governor's Mansion of the Right Army is in charge of Sichuan, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and at any rate has something to do with the Northwest. If a scroll of imperial decree dispatches my uncle to Yuhang, Fujian, and if he is assigned a lieutenant general who is trusted by the emperor, then my uncle has really been completely excluded!

Generals leave their lair, betray their personal guards, nothing can be done!

Uncle returns triumphantly, taboos to overshadow the master, the emperor's behavior is already fulfilling a good story of a loyal minister and Mingjun!

"At any rate, Brother Huan still bears the title of Commander of the Hezhong Mansion."

Anyway, the Fang family still occupies this land that has been managed for generations!
Empress Fang murmured, but did not say what was going on behind her. She changed the subject and said, "Liang Pinggong won several battles and repelled the Tatars, but the emperor granted you the Marquis of Pingxi." She smiled, with some sarcasm: "I really want to get on the horse right away. Go to the northwest and take a look at Liang Pinggong's distraught appearance."

Mentioning Liang Pinggong, Fang Qi's originally relaxed expression gradually subsided, his eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice: "Him? If it wasn't for him, how could the Tatars break through the Pingxi Pass this time!"

Shocked, Xing Zhao turned his head to look at Empress Fang, something flashed through his mind, but it was too fast to catch.

".He is quite a character. He is full of courage. He only took office a few years ago, and he dared to be serious with me in front of the three guards. I ignored him. He wanted to check the accounts, so I sent the previous dozens of annual account books to him. I gave it to him in the past, and the account for nearly ten years was deducted, and someone sent him a message: "The previous account has not been checked, and the current account can't be connected. Send the Buddha to the West, and simply go together." After checking and looking at the accounts of the past few years, the governor of Liang can also figure it out." Fang Qi said in a low voice, "I am the general who holds the soldiers and horses, and he is the governor of the Northwest. Not leaving, but he is justified in managing accounts, but I just don't believe it. I, Fang's family has been running the Northwest for decades, a loyal family, and there are more people who fall vertically on the battlefield than die horizontally on the bed. That is loyalty, why the emperor wants to send people to disturb the Northwest again, why does an outsider dare to slap the table and challenge Lao Tzu!"

He Yan said that Brother Jing was like Fang Qi, and he was really right, he was really like Fang Qi in his amiable temperament.

Xing Zhao lowered his head, grabbed the Fang Shu embroidered and lotus veil bit by bit, and then stared blankly at the pleats on the veil, where did the disaster come from?From the emperor's vacillation and the Fang family's disobedience, the Fang family regarded the Northwest as something in their pocket, and no one else could touch it.I'm loyal, but I'm only loyal to the person sitting on the dragon chair. You, Liang Pinggong, are just here to run errands, so why do you want to take a share of my pocket?

Empress Fang listened very seriously. The emperor sent people to the northwest to replace the original governor and garrison, which caused internal strife and estrangement in the northwest for a period of time. This was due to the emperor's selfishness and suspicion. Because of the wind blowing nearby.

Otherwise, why did Liang Pinggong be sent to be the governor, and a nephew of the Empress Dowager Gu to be the garrison?

The emperor's mind lies in checks and balances, which is understandable, but the Fang family has lived peacefully in the Northwest for decades, if I had two minds in my heart, I would have risen up a long time ago, do I still need to marry both daughters to Dingjing to show my loyalty? ?

The pain in Queen Fang's eyes was fleeting, she nodded lightly, and said in agreement: "Even if my brother looks down on Liang Pinggong, he can't ignore the overall situation and let the internal strife affect the war situation. I know."

Fang Qi felt relieved, and said: "The Tatars attacked suddenly at night, there should have been nearly a thousand soldiers from Japan to garrison the city wall, but that night there were only more than a hundred people on the city wall, and the intruders were about [-] people. , Gunpowder is all available, I led [-] cavalry to fight out of the city gate, fought a fierce battle, and finally defended it. Afterwards, I checked carefully, it was Liang Pinggong's squad that day, and he was also in Shangkou and the Tartars. They exchanged information and sold the production methods of gunpowder, eagle eyes and ladders to Tatar merchants for thousands of dollars."

Empress Fang was furious and fell silent. After a long while, she said, "Has Liang Pinggong been fascinated by money strings?"

Fang Qi smiled lightly, leaned his back comfortably on the back of the chair, and added: "Not only that, but he also withheld the money and food that the emperor ordered him to bring with him. When the war broke out, I still forced him with a knife neck, he took it out tremblingly."

"When you left the customs, Liang Pinggong fought bravely against the Tatars, which shows that he has no intention of treason and defection to the enemy." Xing Zhao interjected dumbfounded, "His activities are all for money. Man dies for money, and birds for food. Death. Liang Pinggong's bet is a bit too big!"

Empress Fang sneered: "He thought that even if it was sold, the Tatars were just a brute and dull nation, unable to do great things, let alone shake the foundation of the Great Zhou. As for withholding money and food, it was just to give my brother a fight back and show off his authority! "

This is the confidant minister sent by the emperor. He is suspicious of loyalty, but relies heavily on scoundrels!

The matter has come to this point, so the emperor ordered the veteran Qin Boling to go out and take the troops to the northwest to decentralize power. After thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the most appropriate approach. He is afraid that recalling Liang Pinggong immediately will cause him to rebel. Da Zhou was caught off guard by his betrayal.Let Fang Qi go to the northwest again, but he is afraid that Fang Qi will fall into personal grievances, which will be detrimental to Da Zhou.Only Qin Boling, who stayed out of the matter, led the troops to check and balance, which could not only suppress Liang Pinggong to death, but also not cause a big shock in the northwest.
Brother Jing sat upright, and continued to speak with a blank expression.

"After Jiang Qianhu and I met my uncle, there were only about a thousand of my uncle's 3000 troops left. We drank mountain springs and ate raw meat in the old forests in the northwest. Go back to Pingxi Pass and Sichuan-Shu border"

"When I came out with soldiers and horses, I would cut off the heads of the Tatars. I couldn't return without success. This was my thought at the time. It was because I was angry with the emperor, and more because I felt that going back like this would embarrass the Fang family. At the end of Fang Qi's words, he fell lower and lower. At the end, the iron man's eyes were empty, and he looked straight at Xing Zhao, who was like nephrite jade. There was more regret in his tone that he hadn't noticed: "At that time, I was holding Liang Pinggong's account book. , and bring 1000 people back to throw him off his horse, but just to fight for such a breath, even my sister's life is implicated. If I come back earlier, there will be no rumors in the Ding capital that I have delivered the treason It is rumored that the emperor will not send troops to surround the Fang family's old house, and the He family will also be worried about the Fang family if I come back earlier, if I don't fight for it."

Xingjing's spine became straighter and straighter, the boy's face was solemn and expressionless, but his eyes were slightly red.

Misunderstandings, destiny and man-made, unseen mishaps, her negligence and carelessness, and mother's personality all brought about this inescapable misfortune
The whole room fell into suffocating dullness and silence, Xing Zhao raised his head to look at the palace lantern with horns hanging above her head, it was so bright that people couldn't keep their eyes open, it was heartbreaking for her to leave.
