Sometimes when the place of the crime in the complaint received is not the prefecture or county that needs to be stopped or passed along the way, after Duan Fei carefully interrogated the complainant, he confirmed that there was indeed a problem with the case, so he sent a brocade guard with his own handwritten edict to the county or state capital, and ordered the local officials to re-examine the case. The most important thing is to be prepared to protect yourself at all times.

Princess Yongfu saw these situations one by one, whenever Duan Fei was free, she would ask in detail about the case that happened in Lushan County, when Duan Fei was very busy, she would come over from time to time to take a look, or ask the maid to send Duan Fei some abalone and ginseng and other big tonic soup, but unfortunately she appointed non-people, most of these supplements went into the maid's Xiaohan belly, for which Duan Fei also suffered a lot of complaints, trying to make her happy, and swore that the gambling curse was nothing more than for the princess.

When he was in Kaifeng, Duan Fei gathered the senior officials of Henan Province together, played an official tone for a long time, and casually said a few words that were incomprehensible, only to scare the relevant people, and then Duan Fei encouraged, and the words he said were very smooth, not leaking, these old fritters in the officialdom also heard clearly, Duan Fei was clearly warning them, if they were disobedient, he could send them into the eighteenth layer of hell at any time, seeing the appearance of these provincial and ministerial-level officials obediently listening to the teachings with their tails between their legs, and finally Duan Fei said: "There was a shocking case in Lushan County, Thanks to Tan County's fearlessness, calm as usual, the case was quickly identified and the murderer was caught, this case started many years ago, since Tan County Commander took office, Lushan County is politically clear, the road does not pick up and move the night does not close the door, the murderer Liu Xiong has not dared to return to Lushan County to commit the crime for many years, and the talent of Tan County Commander has been in the position of the county commander for a long time, and it should be mentioned to me, right? ”

The political envoy of Henan immediately said: "What Lord Duan said is very true, it just so happens that the prefect of Ruzhou is old and wants to return, and I will then write a letter for the order of Tan County to ask for credit, and the position of the prefect of Ruzhou belongs to him, so Lord Duan can rest assured." ”

Duan Fei nodded with satisfaction, gave everyone a little sweetness, and said: "The business alliance established and operated by Jinyiwei proposed by this official in the capital has developed well, and even the queen mother and the emperor have invested in shares, I don't know if you have the idea of participating in shares, or your relatives and friends, whether they are opening shops or doing other businesses, can join the business alliance, and this official can guarantee that as long as the official is in power, and you have not committed any serious crimes, the past is not to blame, looking forward to the future, everyone will be promoted and make a fortune together!" ”

A past is enough to say that these officials are moved, not to mention that they have already heard about the benefits of the business alliance, so they have stated that they not only want to invest in the business alliance, but also say that their seven aunts and eight aunts lobby together to join the business alliance, as for the amount of investment, they did not say it on the spot, everyone knows it, and the wealth is not exposed.

Duan Fei left Kaifeng very satisfied, coercing Gali to lure enough to control such a corrupt official, isn't it easy to make money? The merchant alliance sacrificed some profits and left the money that was supposed to be looted by the corrupt officials to the people, which is a great thing of great merit.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, Duan Fei escorted the princess and the princess into Beijing, Zhengde cordially received them in the leopard room, and arranged a mansion near the leopard room for the princess and princess to live in. This is where the princess retires, and the princess marrying is another matter.

Zhengde asked Hua Ming to escort the princess and princess back to the house, but left Duan Fei, although Duan Fei had been away from the capital for more than a month, he knew everything in the capital, and knew that Zhengde was still having a headache for the dispute between the eunuch group and the civil official group, this was a tricky question, Duan Fei remembered Ruan Xiangshu's words, and Zhengde would never open his mouth if he didn't ask.

But Zhengde still asked after all, he paced for a long time, and finally asked: "Duan Aiqing, I think you also know the current trend in the court, I am about to annoy them to death, Duan Aiqing, you have the most ideas, think of a good idea for me to solve this matter." ”

Duan Fei replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do about this matter, you should discuss it with the civil and military officials, as well as Gonggong Zhang." ”

Zhengde said angrily: "Discuss and discuss, they are all arguing, and even you have become a turtle with a shrunken head, which is really disappointing to me." ”

Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Weichen can't help it, this matter can only be done if the emperor makes up your mind, no matter how much Weichen says, it will be useless, but it will end up with villains saying bad things about Weichen in front of the emperor." ”

Zhengde said angrily: "Since I started using you, have there been fewer people who have spoken ill of you?" With me supporting you, what are you afraid of? It's not that I'm not determined now, but I just give them a left sentence and a right sentence so that I don't have an idea in my heart, Aiqing is the most trustworthy in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, as long as Aiqing gives me an idea, I will know it in my heart. ”

Didn't Duan Fei tell you very clearly last time? Why do you ask again now, is it a bad memory or ......

Duan Fei said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask the emperor a few questions, and after listening to it, the emperor will know what to do." ”

Zhengde perked up and said, "Say it, I'll listen." ”

Duan Fei thought for a while and asked, "Your Majesty, Emperor Gaozong set up the East Factory and reused eunuchs, why?" ”

Zhengde frowned, and didn't know how to answer for a while, Duan Fei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you just need to understand it in your heart, you don't need to answer, the second question of the minister is, Emperor Xuanzong began to set up eunuchs in various places, why?" ”

Zhengde's brows furrowed even tighter, and Duan Fei continued with a stubborn head: "Your Majesty, Yingzong favors Wang Zhen and Cao Jixiang, and the emperor favors Liu Jin, why?" ”

Zhengde's face turned pale, and he shouted angrily: "Duan Fei, you are too much! ”

Duan Fei knelt down in front of Zhengde with a plop, gritted his teeth and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister is just talking about things, as long as the emperor thinks about it, he should understand the meaning of Wei Chen, the emperor is now in the prime of life, and he has cleared the treachery and evil in the court, it is the time to sweep away the bad luck of the previous dynasty and show his strength, is the emperor afraid of the hundred officials in the court?" If you are not afraid, what is there to hesitate about? ”

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di reused eunuchs to establish the East Factory in order to rebel, after the rebellion was successful, the East Factory was used to supervise and deter hundreds of officials, Xuanzong was still young when he ascended the throne, Yingzong and Zhengde were both young and ascended the throne, and under the pressure of the civil official group, they tended to reuse the most trusted eunuchs around them, this is all a last resort, Duan Fei's words have been made very clear, Zhengde has grown up now, and his authority is getting heavier, he pinched Liu Jin to death with one finger, slapped Jiang Bin and Qian Ning to death with two slaps, and kicked over the cabinet headed by Yang Tinghe, He defeated the little Tatar prince, exterminated Liu Liu, Yang Hu and other rebels, and eradicated the rebellious King Ning, and he was also very powerful in the military, so what else did he have to worry about? Eunuchs became dispensable for him.

Zhengde's face changed several times when he heard this, one moment was fierce and one time calm, and then he seemed to be remembering something, and after a while, he said slowly: "I understand what you mean, get up, see that you are scared, I will give you a title to suppress the shock." ”

Duan Fei stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen is only thinking about the emperor and Daming, the emperor wants the minister to die, and the minister will immediately commit suicide in front of the emperor, the only pity is that he can no longer share his worries for the emperor." ”

Zhengde nodded with satisfaction and said: "Aiqing's loyalty I understand, Aiqing rest assured, I will never treat you badly, so I will make you a flying captain." ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Duan Fei has nothing to rejoice in his heart, there are many titles and more than a few duels, and they are not hereditary, there are so many captains in the capital, who will care about you.

Zhengde asked a few more words about the process of Duan Fei's patrol this time, focusing on the movements of the Demon Sect, Duan Fei answered one by one, everything is normal in Henan and Shanxi, and there is no sign of the Demon Sect disciples gathering to build momentum, Zhengde said with confidence: "There is no best, there is Aiqing staring at them, I am very relieved, Aiqing has worked hard all the way, let's go back to the house to rest first, and tomorrow morning Aiqing will shout and cheer for me." ”

Duan Fei retreated in a cold sweat, and when he came out of the leopard room to meet Ruan Xiangshu, he greeted him, and asked with his eyes, Duan Fei shook his head, and said with a calm face: "Let's talk about it when I go back." ”

After returning to the house, Duan Fei gathered a group of cronies together, repeated what he said to the emperor, and also described Zhengde's reaction, Ruan Xiangshu touched his chin and said: "It seems that the emperor is still very fond of the lord, and it will not change for the time being, but it is better to keep silent tomorrow morning." ”

Duan Fei said: "I think so too, I was forced out by the emperor today, and now I am still a little afraid, if I have to escort the princess back to Beijing, I really want to take the opportunity of the order to stay outside for a few more months." ”

Hua Ming smiled: "I remember that the adults didn't want to leave Beijing at the beginning, what ......?"

Hua Ming's words were suddenly interrupted, only to hear a voice from outside the courtyard shouting: "My lord, someone sent a post, saying that there is an urgent matter to see your lord......"

The name card was sent in, Duan Fei opened it and looked at it, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said: "He came really fast, you all go to the back to hide, and invite Guo Gonggong from Dongchang to ......"
