Fang Zheng thought about it again and again, and this was a reasonable reason.
Xie Xian has been in charge of the newspaper for such a long time that his experience in recording events is obviously above anyone else.
The emperor personally led an expedition to the west. This major event is indeed worthy of being recorded by someone of extraordinary ability.
"Okay, then you can follow me, but you must obey my orders." Fang Zhengyi said, turning his eyes to Zhou Tie, "What about you?"
Zhou Tie looked gloomy: "I am a soldier, and my fate is to die on the battlefield. I lived a muddle-headed life in the first half of my life, and I cannot live like this before I die... I am not afraid of being laughed at by the master, I have a son, and now he doesn't recognize me at all."
"That's nothing. I understand. I've never raised a child for even a day. I'm not cut out to be a father. I need to do something big to make my son look up to me."
Fang Zheng looked Zhou Tie up and down and said, "How is your body...? I'm afraid it has been hollowed out a long time ago."
Zhou Tie said calmly: "I have stopped whoring for a year, and there is absolutely no problem with my body. I was young and ignorant before, but now I know the meaning of life. I have wasted too much time on beauty."
"After quitting, I found myself entering a whole new life. I can now concentrate on martial arts training, fishing, or anything else I do without being disturbed by the outside world... I can say that I have found myself."
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect that you have reached this level?"
Xie Xian glanced at Zhou Tie and asked in confusion, "Are you embarrassed?"
"Ah...you too?"
"Um..."
"......" Fang Zhengyi's expression was a little dull, "Are you two so calm about this kind of thing now? Don't look at me, I'm in great health."
Xie Xian pondered and said, "At this age, you have already passed the age of knowing your destiny. In fact, there is nothing wrong with withering. After withering, your heart will be as calm as water, calm and at ease, letting go of everything, and being completely free and easy. In the future, you will have one less shortcoming in human nature."
"The only important thing for a man is his career. Now I can focus on my career wholeheartedly, so it is a good thing to conceive, especially for those who are passionate about pursuing success and fame. The sooner you conceive, the sooner you succeed. This is the beginning of greatness."
Zhou Tie crossed his arms, closed his eyes and nodded in agreement, saying in a deep voice: "That's right, from now on there will be no more constraints, I will be completely free and at ease, I will be myself in the world, I will be above everything."
"It's all my fault that I didn't understand the true meaning of life when I was young and went astray. Now I know who I am."
"Okay, you two can discuss life experiences later. When I notify you, come with me to go out to sea. If you have nothing else to do, go home." Fang Zheng covered his face and said in a muffled voice.
If I continue listening to this, I am afraid that I will start to feel inferior because of my health...
Zhou Tie and Xie Xian smiled at each other, stood up, clasped their fists, and left.
......
Outside the princess's mansion.
Xie Xian and Zhou Tie stood side by side, looking up at the starry sky.
Zhou Tie said, "Old Xie, there are civilian officials on the battlefield, so it seems that you don't need to rush to record them, right?"
"Well... they don't remember as well as I do. By the way, they can also keep an eye on the master. Who can tell the situation on the battlefield?" Xie Xian said, "What about you? With your current physique, you can't beat the young people."
Zhou Tie said bitterly: "What's the point of doing it? Kung Fu is outdated. No one will learn my battlefield Kung Fu anymore. Guns and cannons will be used in the future. Even Zhang Biao has stopped practicing swordsmanship a long time ago."
"This time Zhang Biao is going to protect the master, how can I not go?" Zhou Tie said, paused and continued, "Besides, I don't want the master to have an accident. He gave me my second life."
"Everyone in Taoyuan County has a second life..." Xie Xian murmured as he looked up.
The two of them fell into silence. Suddenly, Xie Xian moved his shoulder, bumped into Zhou Tie, and whispered, "Hey, when did you start?"
"More than a year... suddenly he passed away. I thought people age gradually, but it happened in an instant... What about you? When did you?" Zhou Tiedao.
"About half a year ago, I no longer had those worldly desires." Xie Xian sighed.
"You're okay. I didn't have self-control before. I'm afraid it will shrink when I'm old..." Zhou Tie said regretfully.
"You can shrink it back!? Don't scare me, wouldn't that make me a eunuch?"
"I asked the doctor, this is normal."
"I don't believe it. Look at yours."
“See?”
╰ひ╯ ? (°?°)?
"Oh my god, it's true!"
......
The next day, in the imperial study.
Fang Zheng sat in front of Li Yuanzhao and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Li Yuanzhao picked up the memorial in front of him and smiled evilly: "Needless to say, I have been looking forward to this day for too long!"
"When will Your Majesty set out?"
"At least half a month at the earliest and at most a month at the latest. Yesterday, my father told me about this matter and hoped that the crown prince would be the regent and take care of the country. I think this is the most appropriate way to deal with it. All the matters on hand should be handed over to the crown prince so that he can get familiar with them as soon as possible." Li Yuanzhao muttered, "But you, my father said you want to go too, so I think you should not go."
"Old Fang, it's not that I look down on you, but if you are in such a bad shape on the battlefield, how can I survive? Father can't live without you. I see him running to Taoyuan County every few days, looking radiant all day long. Why don't you stay at home and wait for my triumphant return? Isn't that wonderful?"
Fang Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "Your Majesty, there is no need to mention this matter again. My father has appointed me to accompany Your Majesty to the war, and I will be accompanied by two thousand carefully trained Jinyiwei."
"Jinyiwei?" Li Yuanzhao narrowed his eyes. "Why do you bring two thousand Jinyiwei? Feika and the Holy City have already stationed troops, plus this fleet is out to sea... the number should be enough. Besides, there are a total of five thousand Jinyiwei. I know the distribution of these five thousand people. When did you train the two thousand people?"
"This is all my father's idea. We have selected 2,000 soldiers in Taoyuan County to serve as the Jinyiwei. In fact, there are more than 7,000 Jinyiwei now. It's just that the emperor didn't want Your Majesty to know about it earlier. He wanted to show this special force to Your Majesty when we go out to sea as a surprise."
surprise?
Li Yuanzhao looked at him suspiciously: "I always feel that there is something wrong here. Are you and the emperor hiding something from me? He always goes to Taoyuan County for no reason."
Fang Zheng smiled but said nothing.
Li Yuanzhao felt even more abnormal and felt an unbearable itch in his heart.
This was not the first time he had seen Lao Fang like this. The sudden appearance of two thousand Jinyiwei must be something strange.
This time, maybe his father is also hiding it from him!
If you ask him, you will definitely get nothing out of him, because Lao Fang will just act mysterious.
There's no rush to ask after you're out to sea...
After thinking for a while, Li Yuanzhao said calmly: "Since you don't want to say it, I will wait for you to speak up. This matter has not been announced to the ministers yet, and I don't plan to announce it at the court meeting tomorrow. Although my father had already made an order to abdicate, after all, so much time has passed."
"If I go out to sea rashly, I will definitely encounter collective opposition. You stay here, and I will call them one by one. We will defeat them one by one to avoid further trouble later. How do you think?"
"Your Majesty is wise, I will obey your orders!"
