"At the beginning, he just wanted to fulfill his wish, that was to do something that the Emperors of the Sui Dynasty had never dared to try easily... to mobilize troops to the Mongolian Yuan. He was like a naughty child. In order to avoid the obstacles of court officials, he chose to use goods to transport troops and grain. At that time, he had already had a premonition that he had no time... but he did not expect that he had carefully prepared for so many years of war, and all his previous efforts were wasted because of Li Yuanshan."

"The northwest has become a mess. He must clean up the mess before his body collapses. The prince is under ten years old and the new emperor ascends the throne, so the dynasty will inevitably be unstable."

Speaking of this, Fang Jie's mind suddenly lit up: "I understand now... why the emperor only has the crown prince."

"Why?"

Zhuo Buyi asked.

Fang Jie took a deep breath and slowly vomited it out to suppress his inner uneasiness: "For the sake of the Sui Dynasty, the emperor had already thought of everything he could think of. It was because he knew that his body could not last for many years that he only had a prince. If he had several sons, he would be in childhood and would inevitably be controlled and used by court officials with ulterior motives. Once the emperor passed away and left behind several princes of his age, the situation would be so chaotic that he could not handle it!"

"In order to stabilize the country of the Great Sui Dynasty and the court, the emperor wanted this son... He did not want his descendants to kill each other because of fighting for the throne. The most important thing is that he did not want the country of the Great Sui Dynasty to be stolen by those aristocratic families! Since the beginning of his ascension, the emperor has already thought about what happened after his death..."

After listening to Fang's explanation, Zhuo Buyi's face became ugly: "I understand... If the emperor left early, not only would the court be in chaos, but the harem would be in chaos. If there were several princes, I'm afraid that all of the concubines and concubines would want their son to inherit the throne. The concubines in the harem all came from aristocratic families, and each had a lot of power to support them... If the harem connects with the aristocratic families, the battle for the throne would be really bloody. And eight out of ten... The Yang family's country would be stolen by others. Even if the Yang family was sitting on the dragon throne, the power would inevitably fall behind!"

Zhuo Buyi said: "It seems that the emperor had put some effort into the first emperor's inception. Although the queen also came from a noble family, the queen's family had long declined..."

Fang Jie sighed: "A man has this mind, an emperor, and he has done everything he can think of, but he is not lucky, too bad... If he had not thought about fulfilling his wish and not deploying troops to the Mongol Yuan, the Sui Dynasty would not have been in such a turmoil now. Although the prince was young, he had the guidance of the queen and chose a few important officials to assist in the administration, nothing would have happened to the Sui Dynasty."

"perhaps……"

Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "This is all destined."

"Can you go back?"

Zhuo Buyi asked.

"Not going back!"

Fang Jie shook his head with determination: "I understand now why the emperor sent me out...and why, before I left the capital, I mentioned to the court officials that I intended to let me go to the East Palace to assist the prince. The emperor considered too far. It would be difficult for ordinary people to see tomorrow's affairs after tomorrow, but what the emperor saw was a few years later or even ten years later... If I had not received this secret letter today, I would have not figured out why the emperor arranged this way."

...

...

"What do you understand?"

Zhuo Buyi asked.

Fang Jie reached out and asked him for a wine bag. He raised his neck and took a sip. The spicy wine poured into his stomach along his throat. The chest cavity first became cold, and then a stream of heat began to burn. Only this hot feeling could make Fang Jie pull out of the cold and harsh bones.

"Because the emperor wanted to use mine, I let me leave."

Zhuo Buyi didn't understand what Fang Zhi meant, so she couldn't help but frown slightly.

Fang Jie was silent for a while and said with some emotion: "The emperor wants to use me, but not him. He planned to use me to assist the prince after the prince ascended the throne. But my qualifications are too shallow, and my foundation in the court is even shallow. In the eyes of those aristocratic families and those important officials of the court, I am simply an insignificant person. It is too easy to crush me to death... If the emperor wants to use me, he must let me survive."

"If he promoted me too early, what would happen to those important officials of aristocratic families who wanted to control the government? In order to hold the prince hostage, I would be the first to bear the brunt. The court officials with dirty thoughts, if they want to become the ones in the court, they would have to take the prince first, so I will definitely die. The emperor knew that if I stayed in Chang'an City, once he passed away, those court officials would kill me immediately."

"That's why he found an excuse to let me leave Chang'an. The reason why I came to Yongzhou was probably because the emperor wanted to train me and let me know more about the Great Sui Dynasty. The emperor knew that Luo Yao was the disaster of the Great Sui Dynasty sooner or later, so he sent me to let me know Luo Yao and I could deal with it in the future... He knew that after his death, the court would be difficult to control, so he sent all those who could assist the prince in the future to leave Chang'an City...including you."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Sanjin Hou should be about to leave the capital. The emperor made arrangements for the prince... and the reason why I mentioned intentionally letting me enter the Eastern Palace before leaving the capital was to pave the way back in the future. I guess the emperor must have left a secret decree, not only for me, but also for many people."

"But……"

Zhuo Buyi said in confusion: "Send all those who are loyal to him to the world to leave Chang'an. When the emperor dies, there will be some villains in Chang'an City. Who will protect the prince?"

"I have no idea……"

Fang Jie sighed: "Maybe the emperor has already thought about how to arrange it."

"Then when will you go back?"

Zhuo Buyi asked.

Fang Jie frowned and pondered for a while: "The emperor did not give me the order, which means he would give me a signal. When I saw this signal, I knew it was time for me to return to Beijing. But what exactly is this signal? I have no idea at all."

Zhuo Buyi still finds it difficult to understand the emperor's thinking, because Fang Jie's mind is also very confused now, so he cannot clarify the truth from Fang Jie's words. But he can guess how much pain and helpless the emperor is in his heart now, and also understands that the emperor is still trying his best to stabilize the Yang family's territory.

"What should we do now?"

"Wait!"

Fang Jie drank the wine in his wine bag in one breath, and after wiping the corner of his mouth, he spoke a little sad and trembling slightly: "Wait for me to see the signal released by the emperor, and then find a way to return to Chang'an City. Damn... Isn't this forcing me to work hard for the Yang family? This old guy has planned what is the softest in my heart. Isn't it shameless to use others like this before dying?"

He was swearing, but Zhuo Buyi knew that he was not swearing.

Everything the emperor did was for the future of the prince, but wasn’t it to save Fang Jie’s life?

Fang Jie's softest part of a person like this is that the person who can't stand him being kind to him is wronged...

Fang Jie handed the wine bag to Zhuo Buyi, stood up and stretched his body hard: "Although I don't know what the emperor's arrangement is, I'm sure this signal will be very obvious. After he arranged for people leaving Chang'an City to see this signal, he could understand that it was time to go back without anyone reminding me."

"So, Luo Yao and the rebels must start a war."

Fang Jie gritted his teeth: "If Luo Yao lets take over Huang Yangdao, then even if the rebellion in the northwest is suppressed, the southwest may not be stable. As long as Luo Yao fights with the rebels, the resistance of the imperial army will be smaller at that time."

"Cross the river?"

Zhuo Buyi asked.

"Cross the river!"

Fang Jie nodded vigorously: "We must cross the river."

At the same time, Changchun Garden in Chang'an City.

The emperor asked Su Buwei to go out and send an order to summon three auxiliary ministers to Qionglu, but Su Buwei took the order and left. After Su Buwei's figure left, the emperor called Mu San, the little eunuch who was serving outside the door.

He took out a wooden box from the cabinet behind him and handed it to Mu San: "It's okay to take this out of the palace, out of the city, find a place to hide, and find someone you think you can trust to join. But even if you die, this thing cannot fall into the hands of others. As for when you open this thing, no one needs to tell you, you will know then."

"Your Majesty? This is..."

Mu San was so scared that his face turned pale. He knelt down and took the wooden box. Although he didn't know what it was, he felt that the box was as heavy as a mountain.

"I will send you out of the city, and you will go and pronounce the edict... Luo Weiran, the commander of the Grand Guard Department, had an affair with the imperial prisoners, despised the court, and was unfaithful and unrighteous, so he should be beheaded! But I thought that he could not bear to be executed because he had served the country for many years, so he was relieved of all his posts and titles, demoted to common people, and expelled from Chang'an... You should personally stare at him out of the city, and then don't come back..."
