But later she came around and realized that Fu Shen must have said those words on purpose. If Huan Ci hadn't come, she might not have heard such strange words.
While he was lost in thought, a familiar person suddenly appeared in his peripheral vision. Lan Fu quickly stopped the carriage, turned around and said, "Third Master, we are here."
Fu Shen opened the curtain and looked around: "I know how to choose a place."
This place is in a remote place, but roads extend in all directions. There is only a lonely courtyard not far away. In front of the door stands a little girl of seven or eight years old, squatting on the ground and playing in the mud.
Huan Ci helped Fu Shen out of the carriage and felt a gust of cold wind blowing in. This place was actually much cooler than other places.
Fu Shen was already prepared and unfolded his cloak to wrap her up, then took her hand and walked toward the courtyard.
The little girl noticed the two of them from a distance, and just blinked and looked at them warily. Fu Shen walked over and bent down to look at her, and his tone was particularly gentle: "Girl, are your parents at home?"
"It's just in the house." After saying that, she lowered her head and played in the mud.
Huan Ci and Fu Shen looked at each other, pushed open the wooden door and entered the courtyard.
There was a tall man standing in the yard. Huan Ci thought he was the person Fu Shen wanted to see, but the man just glanced at them briefly, then lowered his head to clean the wood in his hands.
Seeing this, Fu Shen took two steps forward and knocked on the door. After a while, someone opened the door from inside, but Huan Ci couldn't see his appearance clearly.
She followed Fu Shen in, feeling a little uneasy. As soon as she stepped into the house, the door was gently closed, and the person who opened the door was gone.
There was a vague fragrance in the room, as if I had smelled it somewhere.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." A man's voice suddenly came from behind.
Huan Ci jumped up like a cat with hairy fur, and turned around in surprise to look at the man who had appeared behind them at some unknown time.
It turned out to be Zong Zhengli.
The man looked at Huan Ci with a smile on his face: "Are you coming too?"
Huan Ci nodded subconsciously, and when he came to his senses, he turned back to look at Fu Shen.
Fu Shen passed her and walked to Zong Zhenglu, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen your Majesty."
"There's no need to do these false etiquettes, just sit down!" Zong Zhenglu lifted up his clothes and sat on the stool next to him. There was a pot of tea on the table, and the tea cup next to him was still steaming. I guess he was sitting in this corner just now.
Therefore Huan Ci did not see him.
The two walked over and sat down, and Huan Ci glanced back and forth at them.
Zong Zhenglu personally poured tea for them and handed it to them, and asked with a smile: "Why did Ding'an run out now?"
Huan Ci's eyelashes trembled, and she took a sip from the tea cup: "It's not that I don't worry about him." After saying that, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Your Majesty on your son."
It's just that he is here now, maybe he was not in the capital when the child was born.
Zong Zhenglu smiled and said nothing.
"Your Majesty should not be here." Fu Shen suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Huan Ci turned to look at him, only to see him staring at Zong Zhenglu with a strange expression.
"If I don't come again, I'm afraid these people will rebel." Zong Zhenglu sneered.
Fu Shen pursed his thin lips tightly, and only the tea cup tightly squeezed in his hand could tell how angry he was at this moment.
Huan Ci had no idea what they were talking about, and his eyes wandered between the two of them.
"How long do you plan to stay, Your Majesty?" Fu Shen asked.
Zong Zhenglu sneered: "Of course, wait until they plan to rebel. Not many people know my whereabouts now, but if they are willing to find out the clues, it depends on whether they can hold it back. But -" He
After a pause, he looked up at Fu Shen: "I'm afraid this matter will wrong you."
"I will never give up even if I die." Fu Shen said firmly.
Huan Ci was still confused and suddenly heard that they were plotting to lure out the person behind Ji Shangshu. It turned out that the person was now hiding in Jizhou, but Huan Ci didn't know who he was and that he could command the imperial officials.
"According to reports, Li Qi is also in Jizhou now." Fu Shen said.
Huan Ci blinked, surprised by the news.
Before she could hear the inquiry, Zong Zhenglu was the first to speak: "It seems that my cousin is still unwilling to give up. After all, the words of the Emperor of Yong are still not credible. Since he can kill his own brother for the throne, then between us The agreement is naturally nothing to him."
"It has been more than half a year since he took the throne. After his foundation is firmly established, he will definitely declare war again. Your Majesty should plan this matter as soon as possible." Fu Shen said worriedly.
"I am very worried that there is no general in the government who is worthy of a major position. When my cousin arrived, he took away all the elite soldiers and generals. If we train one at this time, I am afraid that we will not have enough time."
As he said this, Zong Zhenglu looked back at Huan Ci. I am afraid that the three people at the table were all thinking of Huan Yuan at this moment.
The room was filled with gloom and gloom, until Zong Zhenglu asked softly: "I wonder what the relationship between Xuan Mo and the princess of Yong Kingdom is?"
Fu Shen raised his eyelids sharply, then turned to look at Huan Ci.
I haven't heard of this person Huan Ci for a long time, and I only remembered her now that Zong Zhenglu mentioned her. Yu Wenjie has been in Rongguo for more than six months, but there is no news of getting married yet.
"Who does Your Majesty want her to marry?" Huan Ci asked curiously.
Zong Zhenglu looked at Fu Shen, frowned and said: "I have chosen many people for her, but she is not satisfied with it, even she is not happy with it. After all my inquiries, she finally spit out, it's just this matter -"
"She wants to marry Fu Shen?" Huan Ci asked.
Seeing Zong Zhenglu's head bobbing up and down, she felt very unhappy. "What did you do to her?" She turned back to look at Fu Shen.
Fu Shenyi frowned and said, "She saved my life when we were in Yong Kingdom. Other than that, I didn't feel anything unusual."
"Is she really attracted to you, or does she have some other purpose?" Huan Ci lowered his head and pondered.
Even though the folk customs in Yong were open, she had never heard of a princess wanting to marry a married man.
Zong Zhenglu said from the side: "It seems to me that the princess of Yong Kingdom really has this intention. She is not very close to the emperor of Yong Kingdom, so she must have been forced to come to get married."
"What does Your Majesty want to do?" Huan Ci asked directly.
"I originally thought about delaying it as long as I could, but I received a letter from the Emperor of Yong a few days ago. The letter mentioned the princess's marriage at least three times. I haven't written a reply yet, and I don't know how to write it. This romantic debt was originally caused by Xuan Mo. I originally thought that he should come forward to resolve the matter. But then I thought about it. If I act according to the plan, when Xuan Mo is no longer an official of our court, then the Princess of Yong Kingdom will also I have nothing to say."
Huan Ci's eyelids twitched. It seemed that Fu Shen had been dismissed from office in the past few days.
It was getting dark, and the two of them had been discussing for a long time. Now it was time to go back.
The heat on the ground had not dissipated, but Huan Ci was wrapped tightly in his cloak. Zong Zhenglu must have been hiding somewhere. Huan Ci followed them out, but when she got on the carriage, the man was nowhere to be seen.
"Did you know early on that the person you wanted to see was him?" Huan Ci asked as soon as he got on the carriage.
Fu Shen shook his head: "I was surprised too. I thought it was someone he sent, but I didn't expect him to come in person."
"What kind of big event is it that makes him come to Jizhou in person?" Huan Ci looked curious.
"He may not be here just for this matter." Fu Shen said softly.
Huan Ci hurriedly came over and grabbed his sleeve: "What else? You guys just talked for a long time and I didn't fully understand. Who is the person you want to attract?"
"In the past few years, all the forces in the DPRK have changed too fast, and they have been invaded by the Yong Kingdom. Many people who are no longer in the DPRK are still unwilling to give up. When the late emperor was in the DPRK, Wei Yang, the Prime Minister of Wei, originally held a high position, but later his father passed away.
, the late emperor ordered him, Ding You, to resign. Although he is no longer in the court, he still has many of his disciples left, and Ji Shangshu is one of them."
"I have heard of this man. It has been three years since Ding You resigned. Now is a good time for him to return to the court. Do you want to take this opportunity to get rid of him?"
"It all depends on your Majesty's will. Now that I am in the position, if Prime Minister Wei wants to return to the official position, it will be the first conflict. Furthermore, he does not support the new law very much, and your Majesty does not want him to come back. But now there is no reason to stop him, we can only use inducement
He took the bait."
"Prime Minister Wei is so old and well-informed, you two should be careful." Huan Ci looked at him with worry in his eyes.
Wei Yang should be about sixty years old now. This man is very smart. Although he joined the government because of his family background, it turned out that he was better than his father and rose to the prime minister. However, he was later influenced by Zongzheng.
Yuan's suppression.
His father had been tricked by him before, so he suffered a big fall. Huan Ci was still frightened when he mentioned this man. Although Fu Shen and Zong Zhenglu were cautious and intelligent, they were still not knowledgeable enough compared to the old fox. It was not surprising that she was worried about them.
.
"This move of yours is too dangerous. If you cannot take this opportunity to defeat him, it will give him a chance to counterattack."
"This is the only plan for now. If it is delayed for a long time, it will be even more detrimental to us." Fu Shen said.
Huan Ci sighed helplessly. Nowadays, in troubled times, many things cannot be controlled by one's own control. Why doesn't she feel sad for those who are still forging ahead bravely at this time?
She slowly hugged Fu Shen and buried her head on the man's chest: "If you are tired, I will rest with you for a while."
"Okay." The man responded in a low voice, raising his hand to stroke her black hair.
Lan Fu drove back, feeling distracted by the conversation between the two people in the carriage. In fact, Huan Ci might not have imagined how dangerous this time would be.
It would be fine if they were in the palace of Prince Bingzhou, but now they are outside. Once Fu Shen is dismissed as prime minister, the forces hostile to them will definitely try their best to counterattack. At that time, Zong Zhenglu will probably be unable to protect himself even if the Ni Bodhisattva crosses the river.
He can take care of Fu Shen. He is an emperor after all, but what about Fu Shen? He has neither a prominent family nor enough power. Once he is dealt with by someone, he is likely to face an abyss.
Huan Ci now has no money. In fact, the palace does not have much power. Since Huan Yuan's death, his power has been disintegrated. She can't help but worry about the future of everyone.
