After leaving the South City Gate, Xie Fanghua jumped out of Xie Mohan's carriage and gently got into Cui Yizhi's carriage.Cui Yizhi was sitting in the carriage, taking a book and scroll, looking at it idly, when he suddenly felt the movement outside, and saw a person getting into his carriage, he immediately drew the sword at his waist and pointed it at this person.Xie Fanghua didn't expect Cui Yizhi to be so keen, she quickly threw out her Hidden Blade, and her weapons intersected, only to hear a Jin Ge groan.Cui Yizhi didn't expect that his sword so fast could be blocked by someone who came, he squinted his eyes, and when he looked at it, he was stunned, "Why are you" Xie Fanghua raised his eyes to look at him and smiled faintly, "It's rare that the second son of Cui can still recognize me, why can't it be me" Cui Yizhi looked at the swords that were set together, and his eyes moved, "Miss Fanghua has something to look for" "Can the second son of Cui be in the mood to talk to me" Xie Fanghua also looked at the swords that the two of them set together."
It's not far out of the city, there are royal guards in the accompanying team, Miss Fanghua is not afraid of being exposed" Cui Yizhi gently pushed the sword, but the sword did not move at all, he glanced at Xie Fanghua's slender wrist, obviously looking at the delicate woman's wrist with no strength, but it seemed to have ten thousand powers.Xie Fanghua smiled, "If you were afraid, I wouldn't be looking for you today." ”Cui Yizhi leaned back lazily, and said a little chatteringly, "I don't seem to be in the mood." ”"Oh," Xie Fanghua looked at him."
You know, it's raining too much."
Cui Yizhi's tone was a little careless."
Although it rained heavily, it didn't delay the mood."
Xie Fanghua suddenly withdrew his Hidden Blade, "But when talking about things, you really have to pay attention to your mood, since Cui Ergongzi is not in the mood, forget it." ”When the words fell, she lifted the curtain and was about to jump out of the carriage.Cui Yizhi suddenly withdrew the sword in his hand, "Cousin Zheng is seriously injured in the palace, and Miss Fanghua doesn't seem to be worried about him. ”Xie Fanghua paused, looked back at Cui Yizhi, his eyes were cold, "Second Prince Cui, last time you were ordered to go out of Beijing to pick up the fourth prince, and you came back safely, this time, I'm afraid you won't be so lucky." ”Cui Yizhi's expression suddenly tightened, and she looked at Xie Fanghua with a straight color, "If I say, I'm suddenly in the mood again" Xie Fanghua raised his eyebrows, slowly withdrew his hand, loosened the curtain of the carriage, sat down, looked back at Cui Yizhi, and was noncommittal, "Mood is such a thing, it is indeed good and bad, sometimes and sometimes nothing." ”Cui Yizhi laughed when he heard this, "Not bad" Xie Fanghua saw that his demeanor was loose, and he didn't plan to grind with him, so he got straight to the point, "The last time you went out of Beijing, the emperor gave you a clear decree, and the reward was the squire of the military department."
This time, when you go out of Beijing, the emperor should have given you a secret decree, since the second son of Cui is in the mood, you might as well talk about it. ”Cui Yizhi didn't expect Xie Fanghua to be so straightforward, he blinked, "Since it's a secret order, Miss Fanghua thinks that even if I'm in a good mood, can I talk casually" "Second son Cui can know Qingge" Xie Fanghua asked lightly.Cui Yizhi's body stiffened slightly, "knowing" Xie Fanghua glanced at him and stopped talking.Cui Yizhi didn't speak, stared at her, and after a while, seeing that she was still silent, knowing that she was waiting for him to make a statement, he couldn't get what she was thinking, and for a while he only felt that she was unfathomable, and he thought about it for a while, and then said, "Qingge is your person" "Yuncheng assassination, if no one secretly helps, does Cui Ergongzi think you can return to Beijing safely" Xie Fanghua asked.Cui Yizhi was silent for a moment and shook his head, "Can't" "Actually, for the Qinghe Cui family, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion doesn't necessarily have to want it. ”Xie Fanghua leaned lazily against the wall of the car, and said faintly, "The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is not a skinny camel at present, even if it is a skinny camel, it is bigger than a horse."
It is not difficult to protect who is easy and who to eliminate. ”Cui Yizhi was smart, so she naturally understood Xie Fanghua's meaning, and her face changed slightly, "Miss Fanghua has such a big tone, even if she doesn't care about the imperial power, should she also take care of Prince Ying's mansion Qinghe Cui is the princess's mother." ”"I know that the Qinghe Cui clan is the princess's mother, so I braved the rain to get into your carriage today to talk to you."
Xie Fanghua felt that the carriage swayed, splashed with water, and seemed to hit the wheels of the carriage, her body did not move at all, and her eyebrows were light, "I haven't married into the Prince of Ying's mansion yet, and I am not a person from the Prince of Ying's mansion."
Even if I marry into the British Prince's Mansion, the princess's maternal family is not my maternal family. ”Cui Yizhi's face tensed slightly.Xie Fanghua looked at him and said idly, "It's easy to protect a city, but it's easy to destroy a city."
Cui Er Gongzi is a smart person, you can think about it, if there is no Qinghe Cui family, the emperor will reuse you, even if you reuse you, there is no family support behind you, how far can you go alone" Cui Yizhi's thin lips pursed tightly."
There's also a cup of tea," Xie Fanghua said."
What a cup of tea" Cui Yizhi looked at her, the topic changed too quickly, and he couldn't keep up for a while.Xie Fanghua smiled gently, "Brother Yunlan went back to the house to pick up things, and we made an appointment for him to pick me up after picking up things."
That said, we still have a cup of tea time for our conversation. ”Cui Yizhi suddenly, looked at Xie Fanghua's expression carefully, and when she mentioned Xie Yunlan, her demeanor and eyebrows were faintly gentle, and he frowned, "Miss Fanghua and Yunlan Gongzi have a very strong relationship, and it seems that the rumors in Beijing may not be untrue." ”"What rumors" Xie Fanghua looked at her."
The son of Xie's rice grain Yunlan, he doesn't buy the accounts of his brothers and sisters, but he only treats Miss Fanghua with a pleasant face, and he has a deep affection."
Cui Yizhi said, "Everyone knows that the Xie family's rice grain is actually out of the five suits for the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and the bloodline has long been weak.It is said that the descendants of the Xie family, people outside the remote Wufu, and the two surnamed Xie can intermarry. ”Xie Fanghua's eyes sank, "Second Prince Cui wants to waste time so much, it seems that he doesn't take Qinghe Cui's in his eyes."
That's it. ”When the words fell, she raised her hand to pick up the curtain and leave."
Isn't there still a cup of tea, Miss Fanghua, why hurry," Cui Yizhi stretched out her hand to stop her.Xie Fanghua looked at his arm blocking the way she left, and his voice was cool, "I don't like to go around with people who are too smart, on the contrary, I like to talk bluntly with people who are too smart."
If you are together, you will be integrated, and if you are not together, you will be abandoned. ”Cui Yizhi's arm stiffened, and he smiled softly, "Miss Fanghua only sent one person, and quietly evaded the royal guards, and Yuncheng saved General Wuwei, which can be regarded as saving me."
The Linfen Bridge was destroyed, and Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen, as well as the Liu family and the Shen family, were innocent and are still safe and sound.I'm just wondering when you're looking for me.Didn't want to wait so long. ”Xie Fanghua looked at him silently, knowing that he still had something to say."
Today, I went into the palace to visit Cousin Zheng, he was indeed seriously injured, and I am afraid that he will have to rest for seven days before he can get out of bed and walk around."
Cui Yizhi glanced at Xie Fanghua deeply, "He could have waited for the emperor to give him the hereditary title one day, and he would have to use him at the right opportunity and time, and he didn't have to pay such a big price at all, but he paid it."
I think it's for you. ”Xie Fanghua thought of Qin Zheng in the palace, remembered the words he said when he was drunk, and his eyebrows were covered with a touch of fog.Cui Yizhi never let go of Xie Fanghua's expression, and now she suddenly smiled, "Everyone is rumored that Cousin Zheng has fallen into the devil and is too obsessed with Miss Zhongyong's Mansion.Miss Zhongyong Houfu was unwilling to accept this marriage, and now it seems that this is not the case. ”Xie Fanghua looked at him and was noncommittal.Cui Yizhi saw that whether she mentioned Xie Yunlan, Qin Zheng, or something else, as long as she touched and explored what Xie Fanghua had in her heart, she couldn't see what was going on.I thought that even if I continued to talk about it, it would be like this.He took out a secret decree from his bosom and handed it to Xie Fanghua, "This is what the emperor gave me before I left the palace." ”Xie Fanghua saw that he was willing to take it out, and it seemed that he had agreed to form an alliance, so he stretched out his hand to take the secret decree and unfold it, but there was a blank inside.She narrowed her eyes.Cui Yizhi said with a smile, "The emperor is the emperor, Miss Fanghua just praised me for being smart, and now it seems that you are wrong."
At least I can't guess what the emperor's intention was to give me such a blank secret decree.Did you know that "the blank secret has many meanings?"
It can be good or bad.According to the emperor's thoughts, this secret decree is to let Cui Yizhi taste it, and what is the emperor's thoughts, it is nothing more than to eradicate the Xie family, which cannot be delayed, and Cui Yizhi left Beijing with Xie Mohan, the meaning is self-evident.She returned the secret decree to Cui Yizhi, turned around and walked out of the carriage, very simply.It was raining heavily outside, and the team walked quietly, except for the surrounding guards of Xie Mohan and Cui Yizhi, there was no alarm.Cui Yizhi looked at the secret decree thrown back, and was stunned when she saw Xie Fanghua leaving so simply.He thought that she would say something to him when she saw the blank secret decree, and since he could come up with the secret decree, he naturally agreed with her words and planned to form an alliance with the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, but now, she left without saying anything, what did he mean He reached out and lifted the curtain.It was raining heavily, but the whole team walked quietly, without revealing any movement, and only Xie Mohan's carriage was seen in the rain, and Xie Fanghua could not be seen at all.If it weren't for the faint scent of begonias in the carriage, which she had left behind, he almost doubted that someone had just sat in the carriage with him and talked for so long.He slowly lowered the curtain and looked at the blank secret in his hand, and fell into deep thought for a moment.If you guess the emperor's secret decree, that is, guess the emperor's mind, it is not difficult to guess.There are countless possibilities for the emperor to get rid of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and give him a blank secret decree, but one possibility that will never deviate from his sect is nothing more than wanting him to stand in line himself, and also to stand in line on behalf of the Qinghe Cui clan.Probably, when the emperor has the need, fill in this blank secret decree, and then use it to clamp down on the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion.But now that Xie Fanghua has simply left after reading the secret decree, he really can't guess what he thinks for a while.He found that in just half a year, the world speculated a lot about Miss Zhongyong's Mansion, but she was also the most at a loss.Her reputation spread all over the world because of her identity and because of her marriage to Qin Zheng, but the world didn't know about her, even if she did, she was just sick for many years and suddenly got better.The world knows that she knows martial arts, but she not only knows martial arts, but also has extremely high martial arts, she seems to have a lot of secrets on her body, he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with it, so he put away the holy decree and picked up the book again, but he didn't turn the page for a long time.Xie Fanghua came out of Cui Yizhi's carriage, returned to Xie Mohan's carriage, and told him the blank secret decree in Cui Yizhi's hand, Xie Mohan thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "What does my sister think?"
"Brother just concentrate on repairing the bridge, as for Cui Yizhi" Xie Fanghua twisted his middle finger with his thumb, "He is the one who assists you, you can use it vigorously."
As for the emperor, I should not be happy to see your friendship. ”Xie Mohan nodded, "My sister is very right, I know how to deal with it." ”Xie Fanghua smiled, "This rain is so heavy, you have to be careful of your body, you must not catch a cold." ”Xie Mohan smiled helplessly and nodded, "I know, you and your grandfather are in Beijing, you should also be more careful, when you go out, bring more people, and don't travel by yourself."
Although your martial arts are good, you can't bear to be calculated. ”Xie Fanghua nodded, "Got it." ”The brother and sister instructed each other for a while, and then heard the words outside, "Shizi, the carriage of Prince Yunlan has come to pick up Miss." ”Xie Mohan nodded to Xie Fanghua, Xie Fanghua got out of the carriage and got into Xie Yunlan's carriage with an umbrella.Cui Yizhi heard the movement, opened the curtain to look, and saw that Xie Fanghua was not hiding this time, but walked to Xie Yunlan's carriage with an umbrella, Xie Yunlan smiled at her with the curtain, she also smiled, there was a gentle familiarity between the two people, and he fell the curtain.The team slowly walked towards Linfen Town.After Xie Fanghua got into the carriage, he pulled the pillow in the carriage and put it under his head, and lay lazily in the carriage.Xie Yunlan looked at her and laughed, "It's so shapeless, if outsiders see it, they will definitely say how the ladies of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion are like this" Xie Fanghua listened to Xie Yunlan joke with her, closed her eyes, and muttered, "Tired" "You haven't rested for two days, you are indeed tired, today is just past noon, it's still early, let's rest well after returning home." ”Xie Yunlan took a thin layer in the car and unfolded it and covered her body.Xie Fanghua nodded.The car quieted down, Xie Fanghua closed his eyes and recuperated, Xie Yunlan looked at a black book similar to a tired account book.The carriage went smoothly all the way back to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong.There was nothing to say about the day.On the second day, the rain continued to rain.Xie Fanghua, who had rested for a day, was naturally refreshed, and when he heard the waiter's announcement that Xie Mohan arrived in Linfen Town safely last night, he was relieved.Yesterday, she agreed with Xie Yunlan that she would accompany Zhongyong Hou in Rongfu Hall for breakfast with Cui Yun in the future, and Xie Mohan used to accompany Zhongyong Hou for breakfast, she was too little when she was in the house, and after she came back, things kept going on, and she didn't stay in the house much, let alone go over, and now that her brother is out of the house, she will also be in the house for a long time, so naturally she can't be the same as before.Grandpa is old, even if she can't be by his side every day, it's still okay to go to breakfast every morning and meet him.So she got up early and went to Rongfu Hall.After having breakfast in Rongfutang, Cui Yun stayed to play chess with Marquis Zhongyong, and Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan went to Xie Fanghua's small study together.Regarding the affairs of the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion, Xie Yunlan obviously had more contact than Xie Fanghua, and it was obvious that Xie Mohan had a close relationship with him in private over the years.It's just that the world doesn't know it.With Xie Yunlan here, Xie Fanghua will get started faster.Originally, I still needed to look at the ledger for two more days, but I read it thoroughly in one day.After reading all the accounts, Xie Fanghua didn't immediately study the future strategy with Xie Yunlan, but went back to the room, filtered it well, and fell asleep again.The next day, she met with Xie Yunlan and said the first thing, "Brother Yunlan, the patriarch of the Xie clan, the Xie family's salt warehouse, the Xie family's rice grain, and the Xie family's houses, now they should all know that I have taken over the chores" Xie Yunlan nodded, "The uncles and brothers who are important in all sides and courtyards should already know." ”After a pause, he smiled and said, "I'm waiting to see what you do" "My actions" Xie Fanghua turned his head to look at Xie Yunlan.Xie Yunlan seemed to be smiling, "There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the most taboo thing about our Xie family recruiting the emperor is that there are too many talents."
There are a lot of smart people, and many people feel that if you take over the general affairs, you are afraid that you will break the previous rules, and they are a little nervous. ”"I don't know if it's nervous, I should say that I'm a little panicked" Xie Fanghua smiled faintly, "For so many years, they have all been familiar with my brother's style of doing things, but they don't know anything about me, so I'm not sure what I'll do." ”Xie Yunlan nodded, and also tilted his head to look at her, "Then what are you going to do" "I" Xie Fanghua penetrated the heavy pavilions of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, looking at the palace that is nine heavens to the world, through the thick rain curtain, her eyes are as cold as rain, "After I return to Beijing, I will integrate the Xie family with Brother Yunji."
Now that it has just begun, Yun Ji's brother left.But there was no turning back from the bow.Of course, I continued to do it. ”Xie Yunlan pursed his lips, "Where to shoot the arrow, is the destination, you can think about it" "Divide the clan, divide the clan, divide the house, divide the person, divide the money, and divide the potential." ”Xie Fanghua said several points in a row, and then looked at Xie Yunlan, "Brother Yunlan, what do you think" Xie Yunlan's face changed, "I'm afraid the patriarch will not agree to this in the first place, which completely divides our Xie clan" Xie Fanghua looked at Xie Yunlan, "Three years ago, my grandfather retired from the dynasty and intentionally pruned the branches in a low-key manner, but the old man was still too soft-handed and reluctant to let his ancestors stay in this huge Xie clan."
Didn't he think that only if he was completely divided, then, in the future, if something happened in one room and one courtyard, he would not be able to implicate the entire Xie family.For example, even if the emperor punishes the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, after the division of the sect, the crime of the Marquis of Zhongyong is only the crime of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and no other people surnamed Xie can be implicated.In the same way, other side branches with the surname Xie have committed crimes. ”Xie Yunlan fell silent when he heard this."
After they are all divided, you can think about it, the emperor wants to get rid of the entire Xie family, then, how many sins he has to find in every room and every courtyard in order to completely eradicate the people surnamed Xie in every room and every house, without the nine clans, who else will he punish" Xie Fanghua's eyes were cold and resolute, "The surname Xie will always be the surname Xie, and an ancestor will always be unable to run."
Even if it is divided, how can a family not be a family" Xie Yunlan's eyes lit up, "You are divided into zero" Xie Fanghua nodded, "So, Brother Yunlan, what do you think of my idea" After a pause, she asked again, "If the emperor knew about it, what would happen if we were so thoroughly divided" "Your idea is simply unimaginable" Xie Yunlan sighed for a moment, dividing the clan and sect is a big matter, the big family, what they are most afraid of is dividing and dissolving, but for the Xie family, whose root system is too large, This is really the best counterattack against the imperial power.The emperor wanted the huge Xie family to overturn, and Xie Fanghua didn't wait for the emperor to do it, but he divided the Xie family himself, so it is conceivable that after the emperor knew, how shocked he should be, maybe shocked, maybe angry, maybe unbelievable, maybe more than smashed the study, if the entire Xie family really let her divide, then this one thing is the biggest thing she has done since she took over the affairs of the house, for thousands of years, I am afraid that there is no one who will not only shock the person who has been planning to get rid of the Xie family in the palace sitting high in the Jinluan Palace, will also shock the world" because I dare not imagine it, so it is the best way to protect the Xie family. ”Xie Fanghua remembered that in his previous life, the emperor took out the evidence of the crime of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion uniting with the aunt of Northern Qi and the uncle of the border to collaborate with the enemy and treason, for example, there were more than a dozen crimes in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and finally thundered and exterminated the nine clans, and there was no end to the eggs under the Xie family's nest, at that time, there was almost no one surnamed Xie in Southern Qin.So in this life, if she was still a little hesitant earlier, and still wanted to integrate the Xie family, the good ones stay, and the bad ones out, then what is the difference between her grandfather and her grandfather who ignored the Xie family's rice grain after retiring from the dynasty three years ago, and let the emperor annex most of the soft pruning will only make the emperor think that the Xie family is not a monolith, and it will definitely be removed.She is not a grandfather, and she is not allowed to be soft again, "Since this is the best way, then so be it" Xie Yunlan thought for a moment, and slowly regained his calm in his heart, "Since ancient times, the clan has been divided into clans, and if you want the important people of the whole clan to agree, the first thing is the patriarch."
Then there are important people to be witnesses.You can think about it, how to convince them" Xie Fanghua nodded, "The situation is stronger than people, as long as there are people who still have brains, they know that this is the best way for me to do this." ”After a pause, she pulled out a Zhu Hai on her head and threw it out, Zhu Hai flew to the opposite wall like an arrow along the eaves, and the whole hairpin did not enter the wall, her tone was not high, but she showed a faint killing intent, "People who have no brains, Xie Shi doesn't need them, just die."
What I want to do, no one can stop me" Xie Yunlan looked at the hairpin that was not in the wall, "If the emperor sees through your plans" Xie Fanghua sneered, "I can't help him" ------ digression------ how many people want to see the second son of Zheng, well, I can't see the monthly pass, I won't let him come out:
