Chapter 770: Accusation

A trace of astonishment flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, and Li Shengxuan sighed and said, "Even if I am behind me, Zhuge Yu's implementation of the reform of the administration is still obstructed. He still needs a respected old man from the court to stand by him to support him. Master Zhuge naturally wants to avoid suspicion. My original intention is to invite Mr. Su Heng to return to Beijing to serve, but the order of the late emperor is there. In addition, Mr. Su Heng was quite disappointed when he was demoted, so it would be inappropriate to invite him to resign rashly. Therefore, I want to use Wu Sheng as an opportunity to show Mr. Su Heng and the people of the world my desire to govern the world, and it will not be too late to invite him back."

"But now Lord Wu Sheng..." Fang Zilan's voice was almost unheard. She didn't expect that behind Wu Sheng's transfer to the Ministry of Justice, there was Li Shengxuan's intention. It seemed that Wu Sheng's death might not have been caused only because of her.

"I ordered someone to investigate. Wu Sheng is the only student in the capital." Li Shengxuan looked complicated, "I must give Mr. Su Heng an explanation to the world. Do you understand?"

Fang Zilan shook her mind for a moment and asked subconsciously: "How should Your Majesty explain this?"

Li Shengxuan remained silent. Fang Zilan's hand clenched in her sleeves into a fist, gritting her teeth and said, "Who can give Lord Yang Zhiqing and his family an explanation?"

Although she has been in a daze these days, she still listened to Xiao Xuan'er's words. She knew that Yang Zhiqing had not been promoted for many years. Because she was jealous of Wu Sheng's transfer to the Ministry of Justice, she bought a murder. Later, because of clues from letters, she committed suicide in front of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion because of her crime.

After this incident spread, everyone in the capital cursed Yang Zhiqing. Before his mansion, there were people who shouted and threw stones every day, which made the whole family feel uneasy.

As if everyone had lost their memory, no one remembered that Yang Zhiqing was a parent official who had been guarding the smoky land in the southeast for eight years. When he left office, he received an umbrella of the people.

They only remember that Yang Zhiqing was jealous of killing people, was cruel and petty, and was not worthy of being an official at all.

As for Wu Sheng, he became the most innocent victim and was infinitely beautified. What is the disciple of Mr. Su Heng, who is talented and has a good character... All those who know him but not him are full of praise and regret, as if it is a huge loss for the court without him.

When a person dies, he can only give advice. Can’t he even keep his reputation behind him?

Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of her, her eyes flushed with excitement. She suppressed her emotions and said word by word: "Mr. Yang Zhiqing died in vain. Your Majesty did not order anyone to investigate the truth, but instead wanted to use his death to block everyone's mouth?"

"Fang Zilan, if you are willing to say everything you know, why is this?" Li Shengxuan's voice was full of forbearance, "What kind of existence is the Ghost Gate?"

"The Ghost Gate, as the name suggests, is the place where the lonely ghosts are inhabited." Fang Zilan said quietly: "Who in the world can be called a lonely ghost? I think your Majesty should know it."

"The old people of the previous dynasty who were invisible to the light." Li Shengxuan continued, and Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "That's right. Although Emperor Tai'an was ascending the throne, he had not pursued many old people of the previous dynasty and even entrusted important tasks, when the dynasty was changed, the seeds of hatred had been sown. As time passed, it not only failed to disappear, but also gradually grew stronger and could not be ignored."

She said, "In the past, the Ghost Sect only surrounds the world. It is the most famous killer organization after Miluo Tianying and Baiyue Trial Hall."

Li Shengxuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Miluo Tianying and Baiyue Trial Hall all interfered in the political situation, causing shock to the court. Does the Ghost Sect want to follow in the footsteps?"

"Your Majesty is only half right." Fang Zilan took a deep breath and said, "Even if you interfere in the political situation, they are different. Miluo Tianying protected the high priest during the battle between the three kings a hundred years ago, maintaining Yancheng Villa, and disappeared after the sea was clear and the river was calm. The Baiyue Trial Hall killed the famous minister Xie clan, severely damaged the national protection general, and caused Baiyue to be bloody and destroyed by the Xia family."

"Where is the ghost gate of Dajing?" Li Shengxuan answered as if asking and answering: "It seems that it should be the latter."

Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and seemed to have agreed. Li Shengxuan looked at her thoughtfully, "But I'm very curious, why do you know so clearly?"

"Even if you are a killer, you must know where you come from." Fang Zilan spoke nonsense, but said it seriously, "The lessons of the past and the teacher of the future. The lessons of Miluo Tianying and Baiyue Trial Hall have not been more than a hundred years, so you must not repeat the same mistakes."

Li Shengxuan met her gaze and asked, "Are these words your truth or what the Lord of the Ghost Sect said?"

Fang Zilan did not answer his question and asked back: "Does Your Majesty want me to be related to the Ghost Sect?"

"If I hope, will you have nothing to do with the Ghost Sect?" Although Li Shengxuan's words were a question, he confidently revealed a message - he was sure that Fang Zilan was a member of the Ghost Sect.

Fang Zilan didn't shy away and nodded, saying, "I can think about it."

Yang Zhiqing's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and Fang Zilan was calm and said leisurely: "Time changes and the situation is changing, and no one can always be like a wall."

Everyone in the hall looked terrified and their eyes were gathered on Yang Zhiqing. He took the first step with difficulty and slowly walked to the right.

Everyone on the left immediately beat their chests and stamped their feet. Seeing this, Fang Zilan smiled, coughed lightly and said, "Sujing."

Everyone in the hall calmed down. Fang Zilan smiled and said seriously: "Today's theory, winning or losing is not important. What is important is that I want you to understand three things. First, there are always people in the world who have different opinions from you. You cannot kill them all, nor can you keep your eyes closed. Everyone may be wrong or right. As pillars of the Great Capital, you must distinguish right from wrong."

She paused and continued, "Second, no matter whether it is right or wrong, you must have a ruler in your heart. You cannot just pass the ruler by others' words and deeds. It is a taboo to follow others' words and deeds. However, if you do something wrong, don't be afraid. It is better to stop the loss than to make mistakes again and again."

"Third, whether you are an official or a person, you need to have empathy. You cannot empathize with everyone, but you should consider others and give others convenience to yourself. Even if your life is not smooth and smooth, you will be at ease."

After saying that, she took a sip of tea and said earnestly: "Since you are an official in the government office, you will know that the world is so great that it is far more than the people in the capital. We are in charge of the southeast affairs, even if we are thousands of miles away, we must take the people in the southeast to heart. If we go higher in the future, we must seek welfare for more people. We must not be as narrow and short as the mountain climbing road is narrow and difficult."
