Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 195 Rebellion
Fang Zilan stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at the butler who came in a hurry, frowned slightly and said, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"The person who came didn't say anything, but only said that he wants to come into the palace." The housekeeper shook his head with a serious expression, "I've sent someone to prepare the horses and chariots."

Fang Zilan hummed, and shook A Wan's hand, "A Wan, you stay at the house obediently, and don't see anyone who asks you until I come back."

"Okay." Awan responded immediately, and Deputy General Cao understood: "Boss, I will accompany you."

Fang Zilan nodded and said with a light smile, "Then I will trouble you to accompany me for a walk."

"Boss, what are you talking about?" Deputy General Cao touched his head in embarrassment, and then went out of the mansion and entered the palace together with Fang Zilan.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of the palace, they saw Xia Houzhang pacing back and forth. It looked like he had been waiting for a long time.When he saw Fang Zilan, he hurried up to meet her, then glanced at Deputy General Cao behind her, and said, "Your Majesty only needs to see Mr. Fang."

Fang Zilan nodded slightly, turned to Deputy General Cao and said, "Old Cao, you wait for me here, I will go back as soon as I go."

Deputy General Cao stayed at the gate of the palace, while Fang Zilan followed Xia Houzhang into the imperial study, and saw Li Shengxuan standing in front of the window with his back facing them, his figure stretched very long by the branches of the moon, revealing an inexplicable loneliness.

Fang Zilan saluted and greeted respectfully, then stood up straight and said, "I don't know why your Majesty is looking for me late at night?"

Li Shengxuan turned around and signaled Xia Houzhang to step back, and when there were only the two of them in the imperial study, he looked at her and said, "Master of the Mushan Gate, Mo Bin rebelled, I wonder if Duke Yue knows about it?"

Fang Zilan was startled when she heard the words, Mushan Pass is located in the southeast, within the jurisdiction of her Duke Yue, but she had never heard of it, she bowed her hands in fear and trepidation: "I don't know."

"I didn't ask the teacher to inquire about the crime." Li Shengxuan walked up to Fang Zilan, and the sudden sense of oppression made her suffocate, but she still stood up straight, looked back at him and said, "Your Majesty, please make it clear."

Li Shengxuan spread the letter in front of Fang Zilan, and said in a low voice, "This is the -mile rush message from General Xiahou. You can read it before you read it."

Fang Zilan took the letter with both hands, scanned it ten times at a glance, and then took a breath, "If this is true, Mo Bin is a general under the jurisdiction of King Rong An. Is King Rong An going to turn against him?"

Li Shengxuan sighed softly, and called out helplessly, "Fang Zilan."

She suddenly realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly waved her hands: "Your Majesty, I..."

As soon as she spoke, she hesitated, and what she originally planned to deny was finally suppressed, in other words: "I don't doubt what General Xiahou said in the letter, and I dare not suspect King Rong'an at will. It's just about Mo Bin's rebellion. No one from General Xiahou reported this matter to Beijing, presumably someone secretly suppressed it. King Rong An is the only one who can control officials big and small in the southeast."

Li Shengxuan raised his eyebrows and asked: "If only King Rong An can control the officials in the southeast, what use do I need? What use do I need you?"

"A strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake." Fang Zilan sighed faintly, "King Rong'an is the younger brother of Emperor Tai'an after all, with a special status and respect, not to mention officials big and small in the southeast, even the dignitaries in Beijing, most of them sell his face. .”

Li Shengxuan's expression turned cold, "Fang Zilan, are you looking for an excuse?"

Fang Zilan quickly shook her head and said, "I was just analyzing the situation. Your Majesty taught me the lesson. I was useless and failed to detect Mo Bin's rebellion."

"I said before that I didn't invite you here to raise the teacher and inquire about crimes." Li Shengxuan relaxed his expression, raised his eyebrows and said, "You have only succeeded as the Duke of Yue for only a few days, and I know how the southeast officials treat you. If this matter is true King Rong An suppressed it, and they really dare not report it, let alone report it to you to let you know."

Fang Zilan listened carefully, but there was a touch of doubt in her expression.

Seeing this, Li Shengxuan couldn't help asking: "What's your opinion on this matter?"

Fang Zilan bit her lips unnaturally, and a smile appeared in Li Shengxuan's eyes, "It's all right if you say it, I don't blame you."

"Since Your Majesty said so, then I will say it." Fang Zilan took a deep breath, "Just now I was unrestrained, and I said that King Rong An wanted to contradict such nonsense. After thinking about it carefully, I was a slip of the tongue. After all, King Rong An himself The founding of Dajing is to be crowned king by one side, and if you want to get wind and rain, if you really want it, there is no need to wait until now."

"Xiahou's family stayed in the old land of Baiyue, and you have no foundation to take office." Li Shengxuan reminded, "Do you think it is necessary for him to wait until now?"

"Even though King Rong An thinks I'm weak and easy to bully, he still has no need to rebel." Fang Zilan remained unmoved, and continued: "Your Majesty is guarding the court, the empress dowager and the princes are watching, and the nine princes and noble families If he keeps it, he won't get any benefits. And take a step back and say, even if King Rong'an succeeds in rebelling, as far as I know, he is already old and has only one daughter under his knees—Princess Rong'an. What are you drawing?"

"Picture the glory of the lord of the world?" Li Shengxuan answered casually, as if casually chatting, "This emperor uncle, I have a very good face."

Fang Zilan laughed softly, "If King Rong'an is really driven by vanity and has taken a fancy to His Majesty's position, then he must be sure to hit the target, otherwise he will be scolded through the ages if he fails. Not only does he lose face, he has no heart." gone."

"Why do you think that if King Rong An wants to rebel, he will definitely lose?" Although Li Shengxuan asked like this, his calm appearance seemed more determined, and he never thought that King Rong An could win.

"Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that King Rong'an will win?" Fang Zilan smiled and said cautiously: "Although Xiahou's family stays in the old land of Baiyue, General Xiahou will definitely not stand idly by. Once King Rong'an instructs Mo Bin and others to rebel, General Xiahou will In the old Baiyue land closest to Mushan Pass, they can be suppressed at any time, and it will be difficult for King Rong An to be alone at that time."

"General Xiahou will not stand by and watch, but she will not rashly send troops to suppress Mo Bin." Li Shengxuan looked at her with deeper eyes, "No joke."

These simple four words brought back memories of Fang Zilan——

At the palace banquet that day, Li Shengxuan's original words were: Xiahou's family will stay in the old land of Baiyue and will never be used again.

That's right, if the Xiahou family sent troops rashly, they would definitely be criticized by the world, and they would leave excuses for others.

No matter what the excuse is, soldiers and horses are always swords hanging above the generals' heads.

Seeing her thoughtful look, Li Shengxuan smiled slightly and said: "Now, do you know why I want you to enter the palace?"

"Your Majesty wants me to go to Mushan Pass to quell the chaos?" Fang Zilan asked tentatively, and Li Shengxuan nodded and said, "That's right. As the Duke of Yue, you went to the southeast to quell the chaos, which is justified."

　Ding dong——The new mission has been delivered!

　　Fang Zilan: I am just a brick, I can move it wherever I need it
