In the evening, Ye Hongyi did not come to Fangjiazhuang to eat dumplings.
Fang Jue originally wanted Dian Yi to give it away, but Dian Yi refused, saying that he had an epiphany and wanted to retreat.
Understanding this guy's little thoughts, Fang Jue took Fang Fu and drove the carriage into the city.
Along the way, the Forbidden Army, the Hanging Sword Division and the patrol camp were all secretly protected. It can be said that Fang Jue did not need to worry about the security of his trip now.
It took more than half an hour to walk from Fangjiazhuang to Xuanjian Division.
It was better that the Forbidden Army arranged in advance and cleared out many people along the way, otherwise it would have been slower.
When we arrived at the door of Xuanjian Division, the box of dumplings was still cold.
Fang Jue was wrapped in cotton cloth, and the box was made of porcelain, which did not dissipate heat so quickly. It was just right to eat it at this time without being hot or cold.
"Who is coming?" the person at the door of Xuanjian Division asked.
"Fang Jue."
"It turns out to be Mr. Fang. Master Ye has given instructions. Sir, please come to the guest hall and wait a moment."
A man came and invited Fang Jue in. As for Fang Fu, he could only guard the carriage.
After all, the Xuanjian Division is an official organization. Fang Jue has an official position and is respected as a guest by His Majesty, so it doesn't hurt to come and have a look. Fang Fu is just a commoner, so naturally he cannot enter.
Fang Jue didn't care about this and just waited in the guest hall.
Seeing that the dumplings were getting cold, he asked the person on the side: "Is there a small stove?"
"Sir, are you afraid of the cold? I'll go get it right away."
"No, I brought dumplings for you Master Ye, they are getting cold." Fang Jue said with a smile.
The guard said with envy: "Master Ye is really lucky. Master Fang, wait a moment, I will come and come."
Not long after, someone came.
It was not the guard of the Xuanjian Division, but Ye Hongyi himself who came carrying a small stove.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. There are a lot of things going on today." Ye Hongyi put down the stove, took the porcelain box from Fang Jue, and put it on the stove to warm it up.
Fang Jue took out a small bottle of vinegar from his pocket and said, "Eating dumplings will not taste good without this."
"That is……"
After saying that, he started tinkering and asked someone to bring two dishes and chopsticks... There is a dining hall in the Xuanjian Division, and of course these things are also available.
"Have you eaten yet?" Ye Hongyi asked before starting to eat, "Would you like to eat something together?"
"good……"
Fang Jue didn't ask Ye Hongyi what he was busy with, and Ye Hongyi didn't ask why Fang Jue came to deliver the dumplings instead of Dianyi.
The two of them were talking and laughing, eating and drinking, and envied so many men in Xuanjian Division.
After eating the dumplings, Ye Hongyi asked someone to collect them. Fang Jue said, "Go ahead and go, I'm going back."
"It's true that I'm very busy..." Ye Hongyi felt a little embarrassed, and then whispered, "Your Majesty has decided to investigate Xiao Luoye strictly... The cabinet will make an announcement tomorrow..."
"Your Majesty wants to make this matter completely public?" Fang Jue was a little surprised.
To be honest, Fang Jue never considered the emperor of Daxia to be a sage.
I just feel that Xiao Pingsi knows how to win people's hearts and has a bottom line in his conduct... But Fang Jue never thinks that he is a good person or a wise king who truly cares for the world.
Some emperors worked conscientiously because they were afraid of being overthrown. They did not really want to do anything for the world, but they just thought that this could stabilize their imperial power.
Previously, Fang Jue also believed that Xiao Pingsi was also this type of person, but he was more hypocritical.
But now it seems that this may have to change.
"Your Majesty is doing this because he doesn't care about the embarrassment for himself or the royal family... he also wants the truth..." Fang Jue opened his mouth, feeling that he had underestimated his majesty.
"Who says it's not...the cabinet, the Xuanjian Division, the Dali Temple...who is not surprised?"
Ye Hongyi shook his head: "His Majesty was sensible in the past, but he was not so thorough. This time, he has to investigate strictly regardless of the embarrassment. Maybe there are other reasons..."
"What's the reason?" Fang Jue was curious, he was really curious.
Ye Hongyi whispered: "Some people say it's because of you."
"Because of me?" Fang Jue felt strange. What does it have to do with me?
However, Ye Hongyi said: "The things you have taken out since you entered Beijing make people familiar with it feel that you care about all the people in the world."
"Yeah?" Fang Jue didn't hide it, he was quite noble in this aspect.
"This is the problem..." Ye Hongyi said seriously, "In the Yue Pingchuan case, many people died in the Qinzhou area. According to incomplete statistics from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, at least 60,000 soldiers and civilians were killed or injured."
"Sixty thousand?!" Fang Jue was shocked.
There were not that many people in Yue Pingchuan, so where did so many people die?
Ye Hongyi told Fang Jue the details:
"Yue Pingchuan rebelled and killed the yamen of various states and counties around Qinzhou and replaced them with his own henchmen. He also robbed official warehouses and private grains to use as military rations. Many people resisted and died. In addition, when suppressing the rebellion, the war involved
, many people were displaced..."
Ye Hongyi said angrily: "The plague will break out later, and some people who missed the autumn harvest will have to wait for government relief... at least 20,000 to 30,000 people will die..."
"What!?" Fang Jue suddenly realized that he had underestimated the disaster caused by the war.
Yue Pingchuan didn't cause any commotion, but he actually implicated so many people, which was beyond Fang Jue's expectation.
"The Qinzhou area was devastated because of Yue Pingchuan's rebellion...but Yue Pingchuan was instigated by Xiao Luoye behind his back..."
"You care so much about the people's livelihood. His Majesty values you now and will naturally consider you... If this case is not investigated strictly, he will worry that there is a gap in your heart and think that he, the emperor, does not care about the people's livelihood... He is afraid that you will alienate and leave him.
go."
"That's why Your Majesty made up his mind to investigate the matter openly."
After hearing these words, Fang Jue suddenly felt that the emperor himself was a little confused again.
He is worthy of being the champion of the last direct battle... He is really something.
"I'm afraid it's more than that..."
"Anything else?" Ye Hongyi listened carefully.
Fang Jue thought of another possibility: "If His Majesty covers up this matter, although it is understandable and everyone will not have any objections... But if he doesn't care about his own face, he still wants to bring justice to the world... Whether it is in the current dynasty or in the history books in the future,
They will record this clearly...Who wouldn't say he is a wise king?"
"hiss--"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them took a deep breath and felt shocked at the same time.
"But it's also possible that your Majesty is really eager for justice and jealous of evil." Fang Jue smiled.
But this possibility was silently ruled out amidst the laughter of the two of them.
How could the emperor be like this... Do you think it's a myth?
"But no matter what His Majesty thinks, as long as he keeps doing this, then he is a wise king."
"That's true."
There is a saying... as long as he can be a hypocrite for the rest of his life, he is a gentleman.
…
Xishan Yulin Camp.
Mo Yuan came in person, bringing Wang Feng, Xiao Chaoguo, and a group of powerful men from the Xuanjian Division and the Forbidden Army to announce the decree.
Because this person was particularly important, the emperor did not want to wait. He had to resolve the hidden danger of Tian Deyi before the news spread tomorrow.
"Where is Tian Deyi?" Wang Feng stood beside Mo Yuan, feeling very safe.
The Forbidden Army has already arrived. Tian Deyi has not learned the news, so he should not rebel immediately.
But even if he wanted to raise an army, with such a lineup, few generals would dare to follow him.
Tian Deyi's deputy general was responsible for receiving everyone and reported: "Go back to my father-in-law, Commander Tian has gone to take a shower and change clothes."
It is normal to shower and change clothes before receiving an order to show respect.
But, that is the operation of civilian officials. Why do you, a military general, do all these tricks?
"Tell him to hurry up. I have to go back early to serve His Majesty!" Wang Feng snorted.
"Yes, yes... I will urge you right away." The adjutant bowed his hands to Mo Yuan and then resigned.
After the deputy general returned, he took a detour and arrived at a remote camp.
When Tian Deyi saw him coming, he quickly asked: "What's going on? Did something happen to us?"
"I don't know...but His Majesty sent Wang Feng to deliver the order, and Mo Yuan, Xiao Chaoguo and some masters followed him...I feel like this is to guard against us."
"Damn it...where did the secret leak out?"
Tian Deyi said coldly: "Then raise troops immediately. We can't wait any longer. Maybe His Highness has been captured, otherwise I will not be suspected by His Majesty..."
"General... we have never left any letters or evidence with His Highness. Even if... we can deny it, if we rebel, we will kill the Nine Clans..."
"Besides, Your Majesty has already taken precautions. We have no chance to rebel again. We might as well pretend not to know... and refuse to admit it!"
The lieutenant planned to dissuade him. After all, he also had a family. He regretted it when he boarded the pirate ship, and now he did not dare to make the same mistake again.
"This..." Tian Deyi was originally hesitant and not very courageous, so he felt it made sense after hearing this.
"Then... first listen to what the decree is and have someone prepare it. If it is not in harmony, then take action immediately... kill Mo Yuan and Xiao Chaoguo here, and we will have a chance of winning!"
"Okay..." The deputy general glanced at Tian Deyi silently and went down to make preparations.
