Yuan Fang sent Tian Dashun away, and brought a few female soldiers who were like fart worms to Chang Xun's big tent, the guards reported, Yuan Fang quietly thought about how to speak, and after a while, the guards opened the tent curtains, and Chang Xun, who was dressed in military uniform, greeted him in person, and said with a smile: "Doctor Qin is here, hurry, please inside." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" and made a gesture of please.

Yuan Fang hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen General Chang." "After all, Yuan Fang is just a small soldier now, Chang Xun is the commander of a legion, and the positions of the two are very different, and Yuan Fang must give enough respect.

The appreciation in Chang Xun's eyes flashed away, and he said with a smile: "Doctor Yuan is too outside, please come inside, come and serve tea." ”

Tea is a luxury on the march, Chang Xun likes to drink tea, and the guards will prepare. Yuan Fang followed Chang Xun into the big tent, a female soldier dutifully dutiful, guarding outside the tent, turning a blind eye to the curious, provocative or contemptuous gazes of Chang Xun's guards at the door, pressing the knife on her waist and not squinting.

Chang Xun's tent is very simple, except for a wooden table and two rows of chairs, there is basically no other furnishings left, which may be related to his personality, or because of the relationship between the upcoming uprooting.

The tea was served, the guards left, Chang Xun took a sip of tea, and said with a pleasant face: "Doctor Yuan, what is His Highness's order to come over this time?" ”

Yuan Fang put down the teacup and smiled faintly: "No, there is nothing wrong with His Highness." Then, taking a small sip, he was silent.

Chang Xun smiled secretly when he saw this, and simply didn't speak, planning to compare patience with Yuan Fang, this is a contest, whoever speaks first will fall into disadvantage.

Five minutes have passed, ten minutes have passed, the tea has been drunk, Chang Xun is a little unable to sit still, not because he is impatient and not enough to nourish qi, but because he has too many things to deal with.

Chang Xun didn't have time to finish this trick with Yuan Fang, and just as he was about to speak, Yuan Fang preemptively said: "This time, I came here again, and I asked the general for advice." ”

Chang Xun was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why Yuan Fang would give up when he was about to win, and waited to see the changes and said, "Doctor Yuan, please speak." ”

Yuan Fang put down the teacup, looked sincere, and said in a modest tone, "I want to know whether the general is friend or foe?" Yuan Fang's eyes were fixed on Chang Xun, hoping to see something in his eyes.

Chang Xun was once again confused, and pondered for a moment: "I said, will you believe it?" ”

Yuan Fang smiled calmly and replied with great certainty: "Yes." ”

Chang Xun stared at Yuan Fang's eyes for a long time: "Why?" ”

Yuan Fang replied while fiddling with the empty teacup in his hand: "I won't say that I can trust the general's person, these words are meaningless, I can see that the general has no malicious intentions, so I asked this question." ”

Chang Xun smiled faintly: "Since you already have the answer, why do you have to do more?" Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, speechless for a while, he still overestimated himself and underestimated these old fritters who had been in the officialdom for many years.

Chang Xun smiled heartily: "Haha, just kidding, Doctor Yuan, just like you can see, I, Chang Xun, am worthy of doing things, and I will not be ashamed of the royal family, but this time I want to change it." ”

Yuan Fang's heart tightened, and he asked quietly on his face: "Oh? I don't know how the general intends to change? ”

Chang Xun stood up, his expression was serious and solemn: "I, Chang Xun, am no longer loyal to the empire, but to His Royal Highness." ”

Yuan Fangleng pondered for a long time, and finally figured out what Chang Xun meant, and asked uncertainly: "Really?" ”

Chang Xun nodded: "Seriously." ”

Yuan Fang grinned, leaned back in the chair with a big grin, let out a long breath, patted his chest and exaggeratedly said, "I'm scared to death." ”

This time it was Chang Xun's turn to be circled, and he asked suspiciously: "Do you really believe me?" ”

Yuan Fang nodded: "Of course." Then, as if he was in his own home, Yuan Fang said loudly to the door: "Come on, add some tea." The guards entered the tent, saw Chang Xun smiling and silent, turned around and went out, and after a while brought in two cups of new tea, Yuan Fang took the tea and thanked him, and the guards were stunned and retreated.

Yuan Fang smiled: "It's a little uncomfortable to have someone waiting." ”

Chang Xun smiled faintly: "It's good to get used to it." ”

Yuan Fang took a sip of new tea, and his expression became solemn: "General, I want to inquire about the situation on the side of the empire, the more specific the better, and we should be prepared before we go over." ”

Yuan Fang's sentence has already shown a lot of information, Chang Xun nodded appreciatively and secretly, feeling that Yuan Fang knows language arts very well, and in one sentence, he changed the previous rustiness and pulled everyone's relationship further.

Chang Xun didn't know, this was not Yuan Fang's intention, it could be a dialect, it might be a habit, let's just be his spoken language, a habitual name.

Chang Xun sorted out his thoughts and said: "There are many forces in the imperial capital, and I can't figure out the intricacies, so let me tell you what I know first." There are eight departments in the empire, namely Situ, Sima, Sikong, Sikou, Sixing, Sidu, Sijian, and Siyi, and Situ is in charge of household registration; Sima commanded the state army; manage the land in the air; Si Kou is in charge of the administration of prisons; The clerk is in charge of etiquette; The division oversees the financial statistics and expenditures of the empire, as well as the land, household registration, taxation, salaries, and all other financial matters; The superintendent supervises officials at all levels, advises the monarch on his faults, and is responsible for supervising, monitoring and evaluating officials at all levels; The secretary is in charge of the evaluation, appointment and dismissal of officials, and is responsible for the drafting of His Majesty's edicts, the recording of the monarch's words and deeds, and the compilation of official documents. ”

After a pause, after Yuan Fang clarified the authority of these official positions, Chang Xun continued: "The first emperor was seriously ill and unable to govern the government, and the two princes secretly interfered in politics, among them, the eldest prince controlled the three departments of Situ, Si Xing, and Sikong, and the second prince controlled the three departments of Si Du, Si Supervisor, and Si Kou, and the two departments of Si Officials and Sima were relatively independent, but there was also the support of forces behind them, and it is not clear which force it is, I personally think it should be related to the harem." ”

Yuan Fang nodded suddenly: "So, there are three forces?" What is their attitude towards Yang, well, the third prince? ”

Chang Xun thought for a while and said: "I don't know, at least on the surface they won't say anything, it's not a secret, I'm just a legion commander, I've been excluded from the center of power, and many things are not clear." Also, not only the three forces, but at least the prime minister's lineage. ”

Yuan Fang was stunned: "Prime Minister? Why did a prime minister pop up again? This imperial capital is too chaotic. ”

Chang Xun was dumbfounded: "Yes, it's quite chaotic, the prime minister is responsible for assisting His Majesty in handling daily affairs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a matter of power." ”

Yuan Fang was surprised and said, "Then his faction is the strongest?" ”

Chang Xun frowned and said: "I don't know, the prime minister is cautious and rarely participates in factional struggles, even if he doesn't participate in the affairs of the two princes this time, otherwise if any prince gets his help, he won't end up fighting and losing both." ”

Yuan Fang smiled: "Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight? ”
