The woman kneeling in front of the Fang Mansion, holding the piece of farewell letter blankly, her eyes were full of horror, her eyes were full of weakness, there was no trace of blush on her pale face, even the person holding the letter My hands are shaking.
She whispered: "It's really come to this."
Her voice was soft and floating, like dust floating in the air, with nowhere to focus.
She wanted to be louder, louder, and let her brother give her an explanation, but those words were often blocked in her throat before she could say them.
In his eyes, there was only a sound that was so soft that it couldn't even disturb the air.
She wanted to stand up, but her body shook twice and fell directly to the ground.
Her white and tender palms were scratched, leaving several scratches with red marks.
Tears fell from her wide eyes, and there was a hazy mist.
Eventually her whole body was blurred.
She barely supported herself to stand up, and then staggered away, and the farewell book slipped from her hand, floating around without knowing where it was, until it was picked up by another person.
"You really just sent her away like this?"
Zheng Pingfeng asked as he looked at Fang Xiu leaving at a pavilion not far from the mansion gate.
"Do you know what I said before she got married?"
Changli replied.
"What" Chang Li said: "I said, I am not optimistic about He Yi.
Since she has chosen He Yi, then let's go through thick and thin with him.
The Fang family will not get on his boat.
Of course, if she has the ability, she can take it from me.
Take away the Fang family’s boat, It was okay to dismantle He Yi's boat and piece it together.
After all, it was her own ability.
But in the end, she was unwilling to give up He Yi, and she was unwilling to take Fang's boat from my hands.
That’s how it’s destined to end.”
He had promised the old man to take care of Fang Xiu, but on the day Fang Xiu got married, he had already taken the initiative to let go of this affection.
There was nothing more to say.
Everything that needs to be said has been said clearly, everything that needs to be done has been done, so just let her go.
She will die on her own anyway.
Looking at Chang Li with a cold look on his face, Zheng Pingfeng choked deeply.
He looked at the dead leaves flying in the corner of the courtyard and sighed softly.
It didn't matter, she was not his daughter anyway.
Just a few times.
Moreover, the reason why he intervened in this matter was because he was afraid that his friend would be too obsessed with this matter and waste all his efforts.
He then asked: "Do you know anything about Beijing?"
Chang Li nodded.
What Zheng Pingfeng asked was naturally about Emperor Xuantai's re-registration.
He also renamed the reign, Jingcheng.
"The big picture is called Jing.
Your Majesty's ambition has not changed."
Chang Li said.
Although there was no trace of ridicule in his words, the disdain in his words was clearly revealed.
Zheng Pingfeng, who was sitting aside, didn't react at all.
He was nearly forty years old and had a clearer view of some things.
He said lightly: "Isn't this what you hoped for?"
If this His Majesty is really gone.
Even with the slightest bit of ambition, he might still be disappointed.
Chang Li sat on the stone chair and lazily scanned the scene in the courtyard: "If he is of no use at all, why should I go to all the trouble to bring him back?"

What this means is that the main purpose of bringing Emperor Xuantai back is to deal with the increasingly powerful little emperor and the empress dowager.
You know, since the return of Emperor Xuantai, the deposed prince has been re-established.
The father and son are grateful for the sincerity of the Fang family and their protection of the deposed prince.
Therefore, even if Mr.
Fang Ge has been dead for many years, the father and son Fang's gratitude did not decrease by half.
The plaque with the words "Loyalty and Dexing" re-written by the emperor has been sent to Jiangnan, but the emperor did not even send out the imperial edict to trouble the current head of the Fang family to go to the capital to thank him.
What an honor it is.
Chang Li shook his head.
If he really wanted to deal with the little emperor and the queen mother, then he might as well unite with the civil servants who had tasted the sweetness, let the little emperor die unexpectedly, and choose another young emperor.
But what he really has to deal with, besides the little emperor, are the literati.
Since the death of Emperor Xuantai, power has fallen to that group of literati.
This is not only because the leader is weak and the ministers are strong, but also because the military attachés who balanced the civil servants were ruined in that battle.
How can the rights that have been obtained be easily handed over to others, how can the honey that has been swallowed be spit out again, how can the heart that has been grown up be retracted, so I can only aggrieve the poor Emperor.
Therefore, even if another young emperor is helped up, it will not help.
At this time, Emperor Xuantai, who already occupies an orthodox position, had no favorable impression of this group of powerful civil servants, was the best choice.
And this was also the reason why Changli arranged for that group of caravans to welcome Emperor Xuantai back.
Because this dynasty has lived in peace for a long time, commerce has also been very developed, and the number of merchants is extremely large.
But even so, merchants are still a type of people who are looked down upon.
The power and wealth brought by huge wealth, and the contempt and contempt brought by underground social status, have caused this kind of people to have a twisted and empty state.
They are both unwilling and content with the status quo. , neither angry nor afraid to do anything extraordinary, but as long as there is a chance, their instinct to pursue interests will help them make the best decision.
And this time, Emperor Xuantai's favor is undoubtedly the best opportunity to break out.
As long as they seize this opportunity, they can reach the sky in one step.
Of course, the premise is that they want to be a knife in the hands of Emperor Xuantai, a knife to deal with civil servants, but they are happy with it.
Among them, the one who benefits the most is undoubtedly Hu Xingyun, the earliest user of Emperor Xuantai.
Therefore, during this period of time, not only the court hall, but also the private alleys smelled like a storm was coming.
The person behind it was Chang Li, even though he was from the civil service camp.
Zheng Pingfeng didn't understand what Chang Li meant, and he asked with some suspicion: "It stands to reason that the big trouble has been solved, and the Fang family will usher in prosperity again, but why do I feel more worried when I look at you?"
"Worry" Chang Li asked back, when had he ever worried?
Even though he consumed too much energy because of some so-called things, it didn't mean that he had ever worried.
Zheng Pingfeng also figured this out.
He shook his head and ignored the matter, but a trace of doubt still flashed in his mind.
Even though he wasted more than ten years in a cocoon, he was after all a descendant of the Jiangnan gentry.
In some respects, He still had his sense of smell, but he still didn't expect that Changli would betray the camp he came from, so he could only leave with suspicion.
The jade beads on Chang Li's wrist made a crisp sound, and the autumn wind blew around him, bringing with it a killing sound.
The old man once asked him to go out for a walk, and he actually went out for a walk, but what he saw was not so satisfactory to him.
Mr.
Yang Ge would rather die together, and the unyielding character and character that changed the world seemed to be squandered by his descendants overnight.
The newly formed civil servant group became sleek, greedy, and timid, but this is only relative.
Facing the fierce and fierce prairie people, they retreated cowardly.
Facing the prairie people's looting and slaughter, they did not dare to make the slightest decision, but just pretended that they did not know.
This is of course because all the elite soldiers of the dynasty were lost in that battle, but it is an indisputable fact that the border guards were plundered by the grassland people.
It seems that they have never heard the cries and blood and tears of the people on the border.
Can't even see it.
But when facing the people in his own territory, his face changed.
The corvee increased, the taxes were heavy, and natural and man-made disasters never stopped.

They don't care about floods, they cope with droughts, they run around like rats when there are earthquakes, and their elegance is boundless in frost and snow: the pear blossoms among thousands of king trees are indeed wonderful scenes in the world, and they should recite a poem.
In their lives, it seems that there is nothing else other than fighting for fame and reputation.
Oh, one more thing.
Under the guise of the ancestral teachings, Pianjia is not allowed to go to sea, but in fact he organizes smuggling of people by himself.
Outsiders can't even ask a question.
If they ask, they will be killed immediately and they will be labeled as Japanese pirates.
These are the legendary literati who have a clear mind, these are the officials who are upright and upright, and these are the gentlemen who are compassionate and compassionate.
Chang Li didn't really like this imperial tea, which was gradually filled with decadence.
He didn't really like this dynasty, which seemed to have lost some vitality all of a sudden.
He didn't really like this dynasty that the old man said he could visit. , so he decided to do something.
Not only because this was not the old man's original intention, but also because he wanted to do something, whether he was boring or arrogant, he finally made the decision, and when he returned to Fang Mansion, a certain These arrangements had already begun.
At that time, it was only three months before Mr.
Fangge passed away.
An evil but fresh wind quickly blew through this dynasty that was gradually declining.
In the north, Emperor Xuantai unconditionally supported Han Yi to take advantage of the chaos in the north to invade the grasslands.
In the south, Emperor Xuantai allowed Hu Xingyun to lead Businessmen are moving around.
Even though this group of businessmen are greedy and wanton, they themselves represent a brand new choice.
An undercurrent gradually turned into a bright wave, directly involving most of the people in the dynasty.
The civil service group headed by various cabinet ministers subconsciously turned this incident into a party struggle, or characterized Hu Xingyun and his group as traitors, but things gradually broke through what they had originally stipulated. track.
Dealing with Hu Xingyun and these little praying mantises, they gradually transformed from a few little praying mantises themselves into a group of praying mantises.
The businessmen, a group whose identity has always been somewhat distorted, gradually became a rope to fight against them, as if they had been in opposition before. generally.
But they, a group of oriole, were loyal and patriotic on the surface, and could not directly kill the group of people protected by Emperor Xuantai.
Hu Xingyun and the others also felt very strange.
Originally, they wanted to seize power from the cabinet minister, but how could it turn into changing the status of businessmen and starting another production model?
You know, all of them know that there are some deep-rooted things in this land that are simply impossible to overthrow.
Rather than saying that they want to benefit the businessmen as a group, it is better to say that they are more like figures like Shen Wansan.
But now, they are unable to get off the tiger, so they have to keep going.
A storm is coming, but the people who are really making the tide are not the group of people who rush forward.
Occasionally, some people will suspect Chang Li, but when he thinks about it, he feels that no matter what the plan is, , he didn’t dare to touch the real foundation of this land.
The fact is that Chang Li really moved, and he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
After being tortured for so many years, Emperor Xuantai, who was still relatively smart in his early years, not only collapsed physically, but also seemed to have lost his brain. collapsed together.
In other words, he is not a very sober person, otherwise he would not have squandered the dynasty's decades of rest and recuperation at once, nor would he be captured in the north and still be alive.
Of course, long-term arrangements also played a vital role in this, such as certain businesses that opened wider and wider, such as the promotion of certain useful and sophisticated tools, such as being accidentally picked up by a businessman.
Excellent varieties brought back from the south.
The constant tug-of-war between the two forces almost swept the entire dynasty, but it also involved the energy of most people.
When they were finally exhausted and looked back behind them, they discovered that something had quietly changed.
A year later, Emperor Xuantai finally couldn't hold on anymore, and his eldest son, Emperor Tianzheng, succeeded to the throne.
As an emperor who had spent decades deposing a prince, Emperor Tianzheng not only did not support orthodoxy as those civil servants thought, but he even more resolutely supported those merchants who had no foundation and no background.
This gloomy and gentle emperor, who has been under pressure for a long time, is certainly weak in temperament and easy to control, but such a person becomes more determined after identifying one thing.
He recognized that this group of civil servants wanted to harm him, so he targeted them harder.
He recognized that these businessmen were benefactors, so he firmly supported them, even if there was an envoy accompanying the businessmen.
Of course, as another hero, Cheng Zihui was an absolutely loyal minister.
He believed that if the emperor wants his ministers to die, they must die.
Therefore, no matter how excessive the actions of these two emperors were, he would not be moved.
Of course, this is only on the surface, but who would have allowed Mr.

Fangge to save the lives of his family?
He did not obey the orders of the eldest son, but also obeyed the orders of these loyal ministers who were not the so-called loyal ministers.
In the Jiangnan clan, Chang Li, who once again received an iron coupon for alchemy, returned to the ancestral hall and offered a handful of incense to Old Man Fang.
When the incense candle was inserted into the incense burner, the candles on both sides of the ancestral hall suddenly shook.
For a moment, the smoky fragrance spread suddenly, and then disappeared.
When stepping out of the ancestral hall, the housekeeper came to report: "The young master is back and is waiting to be summoned in the hall."
Chang Li, whose face was as pale as snow, nodded, and then walked forward slowly.
His thin figure walked on the winding road, as if he was someone who was left behind by time, isolated from the world, but calm and composed.
This chapter was written casually, so there is no need to take it seriously.
