Luo Weiran''s forehead was covered with sweat. He felt that it was hotter in Changchun Garden this year than in previous years.


    The emperor sat cross legged on the earth Kang and read the memorials. Luo Weiran stood aside without raising his hand to wipe the annoying beads of sweat. Seeing the emperor''s expression didn''t seem to be angry, but Luo Weiran knew that the Supreme Master in front of him never liked to be angry.


    He knew what the emperor meant by calling himself. He was the one who always insisted that Fang Xie had no problem. The people around the emperor, except eunuch Su Buwei, who never expressed his views, more or less doubted the origin of Fang Xie, but he did not believe that Fang Xie would make a person unfavorable to the Sui Dynasty from beginning to end. In other words, he did not believe that Fang Xie was a Buddhist.


    Because he believes in loyal Prince Yang Qi.


    Loyal Prince Yang Qi has many people who hate Buddhism. He knows that if Fang Xie is really the Buddha of Lao Shizi, he has become a pool of broken meat under the palm of his Royal Highness the prince when fan Gu.


    The emperor also believed in the loyal Prince Yang Qi, but the emperor doubted everything except the loyal Prince and President Zhou.


    It sounds contradictory, but the emperor is not confused.


    Yes, Fang Xie did receive the favor of loyal Prince Yang Qi when he was in fan Gu. The emperor also believed for a while that Fang Xie was the only descendant of Lao Qi. However, this descendant appeared too abrupt. Moreover, this heir is indeed questionable. Long ago, the emperor sent people to secretly investigate the details of Fang Xie. Luo Weiran''s answer is credible. Hou Wenji''s answer is conservative and can be doubted.


    The latter is obviously more stable.


    Trusting and doubting may sound uncertain, but they represent two very different attitudes. Luo Weiran and Prince Zhong have intersection, origin, and even very close. Hou Wenji was promoted by the emperor after he ascended the throne. He was skeptical of anyone except the emperor, including Luo Weiran and President Zhou.


    Because of this, Hou Wenji will be trusted by his majesty.


    But still that sentence, except for loyal Prince Yang Qi and President Zhou, his Majesty''s trust in anyone is not absolute. Therefore, Fang Xie seems to be doomed to this disaster.


    "I remember that the answer you gave me a while ago can be trusted."


    The Emperor didn''t look up and spoke in a peaceful tone.


    Luo Weiran leaned over and said, "so far, I have said so."


    This sentence seemed to interest the emperor. He put down the main pen in his hand, looked at Luo Weiran, and said two words faintly: "why?"


    Luo Weiran sorted out the wording and tried his best to make his words simple but effective: "After President Zhou raised the question about Fang Xie''s physique, Chen did doubt it. There is no doubt that his physique is very similar to the rumored Buddha. But... Chen has not seen the Buddha, so he dare not assert it. Many people said Fang Xie is a smart man, and Chen also said it. Because of this, Chen really didn''t expect such a smart man to run all the way Why did you come to Chang''an city to die? "


    "What I want is not your defense for him, but the truth."


    The emperor leaned back and shook his neck back and forth: "You are the commander of the Imperial Guard Office. According to the truth, you should not have such absolute trust in anyone. And just because you are the commander of the Imperial Guard Office, according to the truth, I should believe you... But don''t I understand what you said before? No one can be sure that Fang Jiezhen is not the Buddha of Buddhism, and who can be sure that Fang Jiezhen is not?"


    "I want this answer, so I secretly let you check it. I gave Fang Xie. He will never be honored with his ability. Do you think I want to destroy this miracle? I remember telling you not long ago that Emperor Taizong held up a Li Xiao, my grandfather emperor Zhenzong held up a huaiqiu Gong, and I also want to hold up a model... This code Fan is not a flash in the pan. I meant to make him brilliant forever. "


    "But President Zhou questioned, I can''t listen."


    Luo Weiran hung his head and said, "I dare not listen to President Zhou''s question."


    "This time, the martial arts academy failed and three students died... This is something I didn''t expect. The reason why Mo everything took Fang Xie into Banyue mountain alone is that he didn''t want to involve other students. But unexpectedly, it was not Fang Xie but those students who attracted the Buddhist."


    Luo Weiran said while sorting out his ideas: "If Fang Xie is really the son of Buddhism, why should the people of Buddhism kill those students? According to the truth, they should probably see Fang Xie first and kill Mo everything. What''s more puzzling is that the young monk killed Fang Xie more than once, but finally died in Fang Xie''s hands. If they are the same clan, why?"


    The emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "however, Li Nan told me that what wise old monk caught Fang Xie that day. If he wanted to kill Fang Xie, no one would save him. But the old monk didn''t kill him. Why?"


    Luo Weiran said, "because of this, I believe that Fang Xie is innocent."


    "Speak"


    The emperor waved his hand and said.


    "If Fang Xie came to Chang''an city with a mission for which he did not know the purpose of Buddhism, what did he need most?"


    Luo Weiran said, "it''s safe and the best way to hide his identity. But obviously, Fang Xie didn''t hide that his constitution is different from that of ordinary people from the beginning. If this is the most significant feature of the Buddha''s identity, why didn''t he hide it? Also, the old monk wisely caught Fang Xie but didn''t kill him. If Li Nan thinks it''s suspicious, then the minister thinks there''s something more suspicious!"


    "If Fang Xie is really a Buddha, and as the Buddha''s second heaven, doesn''t wisdom know? If he knows, why doesn''t he catch others and catch Fang Xie? Isn''t it suspicious that he catches Fang Xie and doesn''t kill him? If Fang Xie is really a Buddha, doesn''t wisdom betray him by doing so?"


    "I''ve thought of all these."


    The emperor came down from the earth Kang, stretched his body and sighed slightly: "but can you deny that after Fang Xie arrived in Chang''an, the Buddhists came. In the hundred years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, no Buddhists have dared to be so presumptuous! If you say this has nothing to do with Fang Xie, how can I believe it? It''s still that sentence. What I want is not any speculation, but the truth."


    While he was talking, he did the movement of stretching his body. Maybe he didn''t even notice it. Fang Xie taught him these movements.


    And just because he saw the emperor''s unintentional move, Luo Weiran was delighted.


    Fang Xie can''t die!


    ……


    ……


    Interior Guard Office


    Fang Xie''s chain had been opened. Leaving the cold stone bed made him feel more comfortable. The pain on the right arm and chest has been much lighter, at least not sweating at the touch. Fang Xie, who left the stone bed, was quiet and strange. He didn''t shout, scold, struggle or resist. He even took a serious look at all the instruments of torture hanging on the wall of the stone chamber with great interest.


    He was still in the mood to take off one and study how to use it. He drew the nail pulling pliers on his hand, and he grinned to match his actions.


    So when Qiu Yu walked into the stone chamber and saw Fang Xie, he had to be surprised. Even she was a little puzzled. In such an environment, after sudden changes, the boy could still be so calm. Even very relaxed, I can''t see a little worry about his life and death from his face.


    "Here you are, sir."


    Fang Xie greeted Qiu Yu with a smile, which made the guilt in Qiu Yu''s eyes stronger and stronger.


    "Sorry..."


    She said three words and couldn''t speak again. She didn''t dare to look into Fang Xie''s eyes. She hung her head and looked as if she was the child who had done something wrong.


    "When I was eating six gilled fish by the crescent moon pond in the half moon mountain, Mo tianwu told me about your past. Because of his story, I had a general impression of you. How to say... Tough genius? Although he refused to say more, I can speculate that your identity in the martial arts Academy is definitely special."


    Fang Xie smiled and said, "but your appearance today doesn''t match what I remember..."


    He sat down on the stone bed, pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "I''ll make a bed and you can sit in the chair. There''s no tea. Why don''t I say hello and see if they can send it?"


    "Fang Xie"


    "Huh?"


    Qiu Yu raised his head, remained silent for a while and asked, "don''t you hate?"


    Fang Xie smiled and shook his head: "Why don''t you hate me? But I don''t hate you, because I''ve been thinking for a long time before I''m sure it has nothing to do with you. If so, it''s also because you gave President Zhou a very honest answer after studying my physique. It''s not your fault, because you just didn''t lie. I don''t hate President Zhou. If I sit in his seat, I''m afraid I will do it more directly. I don''t even hate your majesty. I think from their point of view for the same reason. I seem really suspicious... Suspicious, damn it. "


    "What do you hate?"


    Qiu Yu asked.


    "Hate myself."


    Fang Xie said seriously: "I always thought I was a smart guy, and everyone I met would say, Fang Xie, you are a smart man. I listened a lot, and even I was a little elated. If it hadn''t been for this, I really didn''t find myself such an idiot. In a comfortable environment for a long time, I forgot that I should keep the least vigilance against the outside world. My hatred lies in my own idiot , that''s it. "


    "Just before you came, a man named Meng Wudi talked with me for a long time. I am very grateful that he did not use punishment, although I know that he is not qualified to order no punishment. He told me that my current charge is a Buddha suspected of Buddhism... I am also very grateful that he said it sincerely and didn''t hide anything. The only unhappy thing is that this charge sounds very serious, but it happened to me I don''t understand. "


    "Fang Xie... It''s not your fault."


    Qiu Yu''s nose was sour and his heart was blocked.


    Fang Xie said, "no, it''s my fault."


    He glanced at the instruments of torture and said calmly: "If I had more experience, I would know how dangerous it is to easily show my uniqueness, rather than a thing worth boasting and showing off. I got nine honors in the test of the martial arts academy, which is not a silly start. But it is the root of the situation. If I were just an ordinary student, Dean Zhou would not be interested in me I''m interested, so... I should still sit in the bright classroom of the martial arts academy and listen to you. "


    "Not here... So dark and cold."


    Fang Xie pointed around and finally fixed his finger on the oil lamp: "it''s the only light, but there''s no warmth."


    "I believe you!"


    Qiu Yu looked at Fang Xie and said firmly, "if you''re a Buddhist, you came all the way to Chang''an to commit suicide. I don''t think you''re such an idiot, and I don''t think the Buddha is such an idiot, so I believe you. I believe you from the beginning to now."


    "Thank you"


    Fang Xie came down from the stone bed and bowed deeply to Qiu Yu.


    "Nothing but thank you."


    He said.


    The tone of indifference hurt Qiu Yu. He said thank you, but what did he mean by thank you? He looks very indifferent, but if anyone calms down on such an occasion, it is the most worrying, because calmness in prison often means death of heart.


    Fang Xie is a very cheerful young man. Sometimes, although he chatters endlessly, he is very annoying. But he is always happy. This is what Qiu Yu sees from Fang Xie''s eyes. But now, this kind of thing is gone. So Qiu Yu was afraid. She didn''t know if Fang Xie survived this time, would it still be the Fang Xie in her memory?


    "I''ll take you out!"


    Qiu Yu bit his teeth and said, "go to see your majesty!"


    Puff


    Fang Xie couldn''t help laughing, looked at Qiu Yu and asked seriously, "Sir, can you stop being an idiot?"
