Chapter 70: Ground cracked seedling crooked

Chapter 70—Cracked Seedlings
The old sister-in-law squinted and waited for Fang Jie's answer, and there were some expectations in her eyes. He became more and more interested in this seemingly messy young man, because if you look carefully for this young man, you will always find a lot of things that you like.
Fang Jie is an interesting person. When he should understand, he understands better than anyone. When he is confused, he is confused by others. He does not deliberately act as an idiot to show weakness. Maybe it is disdain. Idiots don't look the same. Or maybe he didn't think he was qualified.
Maybe someone likes to eat a pig and eat a tiger, but this teenager knows that he is not a pig, so he does n’t look like a tiger. In this world, playing pigs and eating tigers is a game that can be played by talents who are so fierce that there are almost no taboos.
Fang Jie squeezed a piece of cooked meat into his mouth, groaned for a while, sorting out the words in his heart.
"If you analyze it according to common sense, it is not difficult to speculate."
He washed the meat in his mouth with a bite of northwestern roasting, and tasted the hotness of northwestern roasting.
"That man was the only prince who had stood by His Majesty during the Seven Sons' capture. Perhaps that chair is also the only prince who has never given birth to his heart. This is something that the people of Da Sui know, Just ask an old man by the side of the road and he can tell the past clearly. "
"When Her Majesty was still the Four Princes, he was actually not favored by the Emperor. At that time, the most promising prestige to take the Yuxi was the Three Princes. The third Prince Yang Ji was a good friend and able to quibble. There are also many heroes who are willing to die for him. Fighting for justice and wealth, he never used his privileges to help others. So in the court and among the people, Yang Ji's reputation has always been very good and very high. "
"Another hot prince who can compete with Yang Ji is the eldest son Yang Xiong. He was the eldest son of the Empress of the Palace, and the queen liked him at the time. There are descendants who support him, and his subordinates are indispensable. The military has great prestige, so Yang Xiong, the eldest son of the emperor, is more confident than the broadly connected Yang Ji to inherit the throne. "
"But Yang Xiong was very proud, and with the support of the descendants, he didn't know how to converge. Later, the emperor gradually became more and more disgusted with the eldest son who did not bully the male and female in the back. Let Yang Xiong fall down completely. "
"Because the emperor's loathing of Yang Xiong, the third prince Yang Ji became more and more outstanding."
Fang Xie took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "This story is known to the people in the border city Fan Gu. But how many of them are true and how many are false, no one can tell. But it is impossible What he denies is that the Emperor Da Sui never covered the matter of choosing the prince. He preferred his children to fight with their true talents. Therefore, there are many stories spread, not like everything in the previous Dynasty. They did it in secret. "
The old sister-in-law smiled and said, "Most of these things are true, as you said just now. The biggest difference between the royal family of the Da Sui and the former royal family is that they will not be full of virtuous morality, but do some shame on the back. Ruthless things. Successive emperors in Dasui have chosen the crown princes, and they have all made the best choice of the best son-in-law. The emperor even encouraged the princes to fight, but only in the face of the true skill. "
Fang Xie nodded and said, "No doubt, at that time, no one was optimistic that the emperor could sit on that chair. The emperor was seriously ill, and he had not yet selected who the prince was before he died. He was leading the troops to guard Dongjiang and Dong The great prince Yang Xiong, who negotiated and planned the borders of the Chu Kingdom, learned that the emperor was in critical condition, and brought back five thousand soldiers from the Eastern Xinjiang Starry Night.
"At that time, the three princes had already won the prize, and even the most favored old ministers before the emperor's sick bed stood by his side. Upon learning that the great prince returned, the three princes also stood by his side and led people to intercept them. . His Majesty went straight to the Palace Hall of the Forbidden Palace and took away the troop-adjusting tiger amulet. The left military defender of the Sixth Army of the Tune Emperor left the city to intercept the great prince and was overtaken by the seventh prince Yang Qi halfway. No one knew at the time that Yang Qi and His Majesty said Something happened, but Her Majesty may have made up his mind at that time. "
"His Majesty took Zuo Wuwei's elite soldiers and intercepted the prince halfway, and detained the prince on the ground of defying the emperor's unauthorized return to Beijing. Then he immediately led his troops back to the capital. The three princes ordered all the gates of the capital to be closed. The prince took 260 slaves, held a gate, and continued the battle until His Majesty returned with his troops. In that battle, the 260 slaves survived only 19 people. The 7 princes were seriously injured in 13 places, Three of them are transparent before and after. "
"His Majesty led his troops straight into the Taiji Hall, trapping all his courtiers. Old Nayan Suwei asked before the Emperor's sickbed, who would inherit the throne. At that time, His Majesty brought armor into the door, and the Emperor glanced at the three emperors and looked at His Majesty. Then stretch your fingers down. "
"Although those old ministers were more willing to let the three princes succeed, the emperor's legacy must not be violated. His Majesty ascended the throne, and the three princes were relegated to tartars and assigned to Ning'an Tower. The great prince was relegated to offense and stayed in South Xinjiang forever. Xinshui City is not one step away. Luo Yao has been guarding in southern Xinjiang, and may not have the mission of monitoring the great prince. "
"The seventh prince, Yang Qi ... is the owner of Red Sleeve, right."
After saying this, Fang Xie glanced at the old sister-in-law.
The old sister-in-law sighed: "These things are by no means just an old man on the side of the road can tell ... Fang Jie, how do you know?
...
...
Fang Xie knew all these things that Li Xiaozong had mentioned to him. In the border town of Fan Gu, he could sit and drink with Li Xiaozong and talk freely. Although Li Xiaozong is only a child born by the Li family, it is not too difficult to know these inside stories. At that time, the seven sons were so busy, which family could stay out of the matter?
In fact, to put it plainly, the prince won, and the strength behind him was still fighting.
The reason why Li Xiaozong knows such details is that at the time, General Li Zan, the general of Zuo Weiwei, was one of the few people standing next to the fourth prince Yang Yi.
If this is not the case, it would be difficult for Li Luan to take the Li family into the ranks of first-class families with his military exploits.
Her Majesty has always been a man of gratitude and revenge.
When Li Xiaozong talked to Fang Jie at the beginning, he did not expect that one day he would become a revenge with Fang Jie. At that time, he was still trying to cultivate Fang Jie's own confidant. Li Xiaozong is a man with big ambitions, and although Fang Jie is young, he definitely has the ability to make him tempted.
So this is no longer a secret, and he can still tell that he trusts him.
Fang Xie explained it to the old sister-in-law, and then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, at the last moment, Her Majesty could be the one chosen by the Emperor at the time. The greatest credit to the Seventh Prince Yang Qi is no dispute. If it were not Yang Qi A thousand miles ran alone and killed two war horses to catch up with His Majesty, if he did not take the slave with him to guard the gate, His Majesty ... not His Majesty. "
He said this in a very low voice, and he dared not let others hear it.
This kind of thing is being heard, who knows if it will cause any trouble?
The old sister-in-law said: "After Her Majesty's ascension, the first thing is to seal Prince Qi as the loyal prince and to rank first among all the princes and ministers. Pulu is three times the other princes, and the land is ten times the other princes. You can have three thousand soldiers who are completely obedient to Prince Loyal. This grand grace is the only one in the 100 years of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty. Even the nineteen domestic slaves who survived the city gate and survived the battle, all sealed the county. Title! Offspring, sons and daughters, never for military service, no taxes! "
He paused and continued to say, "But no one expected that on the third day after His Majesty's ascension, the Prince Prince resigned from all military positions, did not enter the DPRK, returned to his own fiefdom, but opened in Chang'an City. A song and dance line called Red Sleeve. The emperor made seven wills to let him enter the dynasty, but he resisted and disrespected the queen. The queen even personally persuaded the queen to drink one, the queen toasted sixteen, and he even drank Sixteen cups, half drunk and half awake, but refused to go to the temple again. "
Fang Xie said with emotion: "There is no such thing as great wisdom in the world."
"But his influence was too great. During the pre-Emperor period, Prince Loyal led military expeditions several times, winning many battles, and no one was invincible. And ... he was the brother of the great prince. After the great prince lost, the descendants He can only pin his hopes on him. So ... it is inevitable that people will be jealous, even if the decisions he has made have already shown his attitude. "
Fang Xie said, "So I said, on the surface, Prince Zhong left Changan ten years ago and disappeared without a trace, and the red sleeve recruit was expelled from His Royal Highness by another Prince. How could this be related to His Majesty? Point, how could you not ask a single question about Red Sleeve? "
When the old sister-in-law heard this sentence, he couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked, "You mean, this is just what it looks like?"
"I have heard over the years that although His Majesty is the gentlest of the Emperors of the Sui Dynasty, he is by no means a forceless person. If he is going to act against Prince Loyal, he will not use this trick of making people disappear. Then you ca n’t wait to drive Prince Loyalty ’s property out of the imperial capital. Do n’t you think it ’s too obvious?

Fang Xie thought of the scene where the Taoist red robe clergyman saw in the town outside the imperial capital with one finger, and was more certain that he was right. How could an impeccable emperor make such a low-level mistake?
"If he wants to get rid of Prince Loyal, he will certainly get rid of his roots ... and he will not use such a substandard method."
The old sister-in-law held back and thought for a while and said, "The family members of Prince Prince have been doing well and the land has not been moved. Her Majesty has many rewards every year, although only a group of home slaves remain in the land of Prince Prince. I always thought This is the guilt of the emperor ... "
"Guilty?"
Fang Xie smiled: "Why can anyone who really does this kind of thing feel guilty?"
The old sister-in-law hummed, and his face was a bit ugly.
Fang Xie meditated for a while and said, "At the time, the Red Sleeve was forced to leave the Imperial City, which was done by another prince. The emperor did not stop, maybe the emperor had no time to stop it. The prince had the Lord Prince loyal, even if Prince Zhong did n’t go to the dynasty and did n’t participate in politics. He did n’t turn his head, so after the disappearance of Prince Zhong, he thought he was seizing the opportunity. The emperor was too late to manage it, and in order to maintain the face of his other brother, the emperor Nor can the red sleeves that have been expelled from the capital be invited back. "
After thinking carefully in his mind, he said, "Maybe that's the truth. The red sleeve recruit was dismissed. It was just an idiot thing that an idiot lord had done in order to show loyalty to the higher ranks ~ EbookFREE.me ~ He thought When the Prince of Prince is gone, the emperor will take the opportunity to get rid of the power of the Prince of Prince. I didn't expect that ... the fart was not shot well. "
The old sister-in-law changed his face and hesitated a moment and said, "It seems ... the lord who drove Red Sleeve out of the imperial capital that year, His Majesty has not used him for years. Although he is still a prince, he is really an idle person who has no power. "
"Everything, as long as you are willing to look at it, you should be able to see clearly."
Fang Jie was very stinky to sum up.
When it comes to here, the wine is dry and the meat is eaten.
"In the early morning, you came to Red Sleeve to recruit in the backyard. I will pass you a knife."
The old sister got up and was slightly drunk, so she walked a little.
Fang Xie stood up, was not drunk, and walked calmly.
But the one who is slightly drunk is really not drunk, and the one who looks not drunk is really drunk.
For that type of knife, Fang Jie didn't just spend a lot of time on his mind. He was never a person who could drink, so big a wine gourd, empty.
Xi thrush took a look at Fang Jie who was walking away and looked at the old sister-in-law who was drinking wine.
"Want to help him?"
She asked.
The old sister-in-law smiled hesitantly: "Vote for fate, for his temper ... he is a waste of mediocrity, and he must not be allowed to become a pig head casually in the martial arts competition? Anyway, it was from Fan Gu. After losing one match, I was beaten to a cripple, and I followed the shame ... a knife, long time no use, it should be seen. "
"This gift is heavy."
Xi thrush said seriously.
The old sister waved her hand indifferently, leaning on the door frame and fell asleep very quickly. He mumbled a few words and spoke very quietly. I don't know if it's drunk or dreamy, but it's intriguing after all.
"The cracks in the dry soil should not be crooked, and watered and sprinkled with dung ... and saved."
