"Since he is a courtier, he should share his worries for the emperor." Su Yitong repeated Shen Rufeng's words word for word, and then looked at him, with a smile in his eyes, and said three good words in a row. "Good, good, good."

"Since Shen Aiqing is so eager to share my worries, then I can't shirk it." Su Yitong's words were mixed, and no one present could hear the meaning of her words. So they all fell into silence for a while, Su Yitong was silent for a long time, and when he saw that no one spoke, he smiled and said: "I just have a tricky matter in my hands that needs someone to deal with. ”

Shen Rufeng: "......"

It's all said that it is difficult to do so, is it really good that you still look so cheeky, Your Majesty?

Fang Jing looked at Shen Rufeng for a moment, and the words that he originally wanted to recommend himself suddenly couldn't spit out a word. Although in the eyes of outsiders, it is pure shit luck that he can become the secretary of the ministry. But only he knows how much effort he has put in to make this day.

"So be it. Shen Aiqing and Fang Aiqing stayed, and as for the rest, they waited outside the hall. Wait until I have discussed the matter with the two Aiqing, and then I will summon you. Su Yitong waved his hand away from everyone, and when he saw Fang Jingman looking at him puzzled, he couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, and quipped: "What, Fang Aiqing is surprised that I left you behind?" ”

It's not just an accident, it's unthinkable. Fang Jing got up excitedly, arched his hand towards Su Yitong, and said in a trembling voice: "No...... Wechen is just ......"

"You don't have to explain." Su Yitong didn't care much about Fang Jing's move, and only said with a smile: "You don't need to be arrogant, although there are many talents in the court now, you may feel that you are really unworthy of the position of secretary of the ministry with your own talents." However, have you thought about it, maybe your feeling is completely different from my feeling! ”

Fang Jing listened to Su Yitong's words, and couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while. During this period of time, he has been worried that he will not be able to take the position of the secretary of the ministry, so he will be worried all day long, not knowing what to do. But when he heard Su Yitong's words today, he suddenly realized that he was too mediocre and disturbed himself.

Seeing that he was stunned, the curvature of the corners of Su Yitong's mouth couldn't help but widen a little. It's just that she didn't follow the topic. In her opinion, instead of saying something to Fang Jing that even she felt was encouraging. It's better for her to pick out the topic first, so that he doesn't have to speculate secretly.

"Weichen listens to His Majesty's orders," Fang Jing's face returned to calm after he was excited, and he saw him looking at Su Yitong, his eyes flashing slightly, but he was extremely sincere.

"Hmm." Su Yitong nodded with satisfaction, his eyes stayed on Fang Jingdi's face for a moment, then turned to Shen Rufeng, and said with a smile: "Since Shen Aiqing wants to share my worries, then now, I will ask you two a question!" ”

When Shen Rufeng and Fang Jing heard this, they immediately looked up at Su Yitong together.

Su Yitong cleared his throat, looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "Now the two of you will come to talk to me about how to govern the country now?" ”

"This ......" Shen Rufeng and Fang Jing looked at each other, a little unsure of what Su Yitong meant by this.

"You don't have to be too restrained," Su Yitong said: "If you have anything to say, just say it,"

Fang Jing was still hesitating when he heard this, but Shen Rufeng had already made up his mind at this moment. looked at Su Yitong and said, "That is the case, it is better for the minister to be respectful." As he spoke, Shen Rufeng listed the pros and cons of the current situation of leaving the country one by one, pointing to the key points.

Su Yitong listened very seriously, Shen Rufeng finished speaking for a long time, she seemed to be still immersed in it and couldn't come back to her senses, her brows frowned slightly, her red lips pursed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Shen Rufeng couldn't help but look back at Fang Jing and nodded at him. Fang Jing also nodded, but he didn't open his mouth to break the silence. At this moment, Su Yitong suddenly said: "Fang Aiqing, what do you think?!" ”

Fang Jing was stunned, he didn't expect Su Yitong to ask so suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he arch his hand and replied: "Back to the emperor, the minister's opinion is not much different from that of Lord Shen." ”

"So you two should be on the same page?" Su Yitong raised his eyebrows and looked at the two.

Shen Rufeng and Fang Jing glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Okay." Su Yitong nodded, then his face changed, and he looked at the two of them and said, "Then I ask the two of you, what if there are remnants of the previous dynasty who want to usurp the throne?" What about me? ”

The remnants of the previous dynasty! Shen Rufeng, Fang Jing's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Su Yitong and asked with a pale face, "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

As far as they know, the previous dynasty has long since fallen, and Su Yitong mentioned this matter at this time, didn't he think they were the remnants of the previous dynasty?

Thinking of this, the two of them suddenly turned even paler, but no one asked first, but silently waited for Su Yitong's next words.

"Did you know? Why did I bother to hold the talent recruitment ceremony this time? Su Yitong quietly took all the expressions on the faces of the two into his eyes, and then hooked his lips, the smile in his eyes was shallow but cold. I saw her slowly walking towards the two of them, looking at the two of them and saying word by word: "Don't tell me that the two of you also have the same opinion as those people, thinking that I am just avenging the grievances of the people?" ”

To be honest, Su Yitong still hasn't figured out why his idea of rectifying the dynasty has reached the ears of the people of the world, but he has become a good emperor who reins the precipice and avenges the grievances of the people of the world? !

During this period of time, there were many rumors about her among the people, but none of them were related to the court's business. That's why she's so depressed now!

"Could it be that the emperor, are you here to purge the court? In order to clean up the remnants of the former dynasty lurking in the middle of the court, did you do this? Shen Rufeng looked at Su Yitong and asked tentatively. I thought that if the truth of the matter was really as I said, then everything would not be difficult to guess.

After all, the remnants of the previous dynasty were indeed a threat in the eyes of their courtiers who were determined to be loyal to Su Yitong.

"Yes and no." When Su Yitong heard this, he immediately glanced at Shen Rufeng with praise, and then explained: "Do you know that from the Youzhou plague a few months ago to the later Bianzhou flood and Luoyi drought, it was man-made rather than natural. ”

"What?!" As soon as Su Yitong's words fell, Shen Rufeng, Fang Jing exclaimed in unison, looked at Su Yitong and whispered in shock: "How can it be ......?"

"How can't it be." Su Yitong looked at the two of them disapprenously.

"That's tens of thousands of lives." Fang Jing couldn't help but say.

"So what?" Su Yitong raised his eyebrows. Rhetorical question: "Or do you think that in the eyes of those remnants of the previous dynasty, there is a difference between the dead and the living?" ”

In the final analysis, it was just selfishness, and he was temporarily blinded by others.

"But......" Fang Jing wanted to say something, but suddenly lost his voice.

"No, but." Su Yitong snorted coldly and said, "If the two Aiqing want to see the evidence, I have the evidence." As she spoke, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the temple gate and asked, "Do you remember Fengyue?" ”

Shen Rufeng, Fang Jing nodded, and suddenly looked puzzled.

Su Yitong hooked her lips slightly. "She was picked up from the plague field in Youzhou. However, you must not have imagined her true identity......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but slow down her speech, and looked at the two of them and said slowly: "If I say that she is the daughter of the former prince of the previous dynasty, that is, the imperial daughter of the previous dynasty, will you believe it?" ”

"The Queen's Daughter!"

Suddenly, Shen Rufeng, Fang Jing's face was even more surprised than just now. After a long time, Su Yitong heard Shen Rufeng whisper: "But didn't the rumors say that the former prince had died a long time ago?" ”

"That's true." Su Yitong shrugged, "However, the truth is that he didn't die in the first place." To put it more clearly, he actually died for less than a year. ”

"What does the emperor mean ......" Fang Jing said uncertainly: "The mastermind behind the plague in Youzhou is ......"

"That's right," Su Yitong took over his words and said, "It's the little prince who even my father thought was buried in the fire." ”

Shen Rufeng, Fang Jing couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this, and it took a long time to recover from their shock.

"So, now you should know why I want to purge the court? Perhaps you don't know that before you appeared, most of the people in the court had become traitors. Su Yitong threw out shocking secrets one after another, Shen Rufeng, Fang Jing's face changed and changed after hearing this, as if he didn't expect Su Yitong to say this to them, and he didn't seem to expect that he could gain her trust so quickly. So, can you guess what I mean by telling you these secrets? ”

Before the rectification of the dynasty, she had no power in the DPRK, and no one was available. Therefore, she can't count on anyone except the Shadow Pavilion. But now it's different, now she has not only power but also people in her hands, so she doesn't need to be afraid of anyone. And the only thing she has to do now is to win hearts and minds and tie them tightly to herself.

She knew that most of these civil servants who had just entered the court were Shen Rufeng, and Fang Jing and the two were looking forward. Therefore, she only needs to control the two of them, and she doesn't have to try to win them over one by one with the same ideas as in the past.

"The ministers are terrified."

Shen Rufeng, Fang Jing reacted, then lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt on the ground one after another, bowed his head and said: "I am willing to do my best for the emperor, and then die." ”

"Okay." Su Yitong immediately clapped his hands and applauded. Although she can't tell them that Liuli is the prince of the previous dynasty now, now that she has reminded the two of them, she believes that with the wisdom of the two of them, she will definitely be vigilant in the future. "With the words of the two of you, I will be relieved."

With that, she turned around and walked back to the dragon chair to sit down, looked at the two of them and said word by word: "Then you have to remember the things I ordered next, remember them." ”

"Yes."

Shen Rufeng, Fang Jing bowed respectfully and did not raise his head.

"Hmm." Su Yitong nodded, and then told the two of them what he planned next.

After she finished speaking, Shen Rufeng and Fang Jing were shocked or shocked on their faces.

Now, the time has entered the early winter, since Su Yitong has exempted the people from paying taxes, the people's lives are getting better and better day by day, yes, but the treasury is becoming more and more empty day by day, and it is even about to bottom out. When Shen Rufeng was not yet the head of the household department, he had a lot of confusion about the situation between the DPRK and China, and even thought that although Su Yitong did not match the rumors, he would not be a Ming monarch after all. But since he served as the secretary of the household department, he suddenly understood how much risk Su Yitong had taken to help the people get rid of poverty and independently support the burden of exempting the people from taxes. If he had misunderstood her before, then at this moment, all he had left for her was admiration.
