Chapter 1043 The human heart is changeable

The bottom line

No one knows where the bottom line of the other party is, so they are all tempting. But there is no doubt that Fang Xie occupies the absolute initiative, these officials in Chang'an City have no soldiers in their hands, and their temptation to solve Fang Xie is to know how big Fang Jie's action is, if it is so big that everyone is involved, then they can only fight to break the net.

The four words of fish death and net break and defeat have never meant the same thing, fish is dead is dead, and net break can be made up again.

And Fang Xie wanted to see if these courtiers would unite to resist themselves because of those who were captured. In fact, even if Fang Xie had the intention of killing all these two-faced people in Chang'an City, it would be impossible to realize it, and if he really killed people, it would be really difficult in the future.

It's right to start a business with the people, but now is not the time to get started.

This is a degree, a degree that is difficult to grasp.

It is a gradual process from the unity of the people at the bottom to the unity of all the forces that can be united. Especially now that there are internal and external troubles, there are Mengyuan wolves in the west and yellow-haired tigers in the east, if the internal contradictions are provoked to the point where they have to be intensified at this time, it will be useless for the development of the Black Flag Army.

The official inquisitor is just a gimmick that Fang Xie took out to scare those courtiers.

Coming out of the Taiji Palace, Fang Xie was on the way back to Changchun Garden. Above the carriage, he and Dugu Wenxiu, Wu Yiyi and others discussed all the way. Sometimes governing a place is much more difficult than winning the next battle. Chang'an City, in particular, was the epicenter of the storm.

"Lord ......"

Dugu Wenxiu glanced at Fang Jie, hesitated for a moment, and then said tentatively: "The Xiao Riding School is famous this time, and there will never be anyone in the entire Chang'an City who does not know the name of the Xiao Riding School, which will be of great benefit to the governance of Chang'an City in the future...... However, the subordinates feel that the power of the Xiao Riding School is too heavy? The subordinates are not suspicious of others, but they are worried that if this goes on for a long time, there will inevitably be an impetuousness in the Xiao Riding School, just like the Ouchi Guards back then ......"

He didn't say much in the next words, because he knew that Fang Xie attached great importance to the Xiao Riding School, and if he said it too deeply, he was afraid that he would provoke Fang Jie's disgust.

"Just entered Chang'an City, Xiao Riding School really needs to be Liwei. After all, I will leave Chang'an in the near future, and if I want Chang'an to rule for a long time, I must have a strong Yamen town there. People's hearts are always changeable, I am in Chang'an City, those dignitaries are obedient, I am no more, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen again. I deliberately let the reputation of Xiao Riding School spread out, also for the sake of thinking when I am not in Chang'an City in the future. But...... Since you think that the power of the Xiao Riding School is too great, I will let them moderate it in the future. ”

Fang Xie replied.

Dugu Wenxiu nodded and did not continue on the topic.

Wu Yiyi glanced at Dugu Wenxiu, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The thing in his eyes flashed and no one noticed.

After arriving at Changchun Garden, Dugu Wenxiu said goodbye and went back to sort out the affairs of the court, while Wu Yiyi stayed and followed Fang Xie back to the wooden building by the lotus pond. This wooden building has a name that doesn't seem very auspicious, called Wind and Rain Building. And Chang'an City is now a time when the storm is coming.

"What is Master Hou worried about?"

Fang Xie suddenly asked.

Wu Yiyi seemed to be a little distracted, and only came back to his senses after listening to Fang Jie's question: "Sure enough, I still can't hide the eyes of the lord, and my subordinates just think about it occasionally...... Before Dugu said that the power of the Xiao Riding School was too heavy, this is actually not unreasonable. But what the subordinates are worried about is not this, but whether there is any intention behind it. ”

"Thoughts?"

Fang Xie asked, "What do you think?" ”

Wu Yiyi said as he walked: "This should not be said, whether it is Dugu or Chen Xiaoru, they are loyal people to the lord, if I say something, it will inevitably lead to a reputation for sowing discord." But...... The subordinates are still a little unsure. ”

He pondered for a moment before continuing, "The Black Flag Army is progressing too smoothly, everything is going well. Since the march to the south of the Yangtze River, only two relatively tough battles have been fought, one is to take Liyincang, and the other is to force the Qin River...... It was smooth before and after. Because of this, people's hearts are inevitably frivolous. Especially after entering Chang'an City, it is undeniable that everyone has a desire to make meritorious contributions from the dragon......"

After saying this, he glanced at Fang Jie's face, and saw that Fang Xie had not changed and continued: "After entering Chang'an City, many people in the Black Flag Army feel that the big thing has been accomplished, and they are just waiting for you to divide the seal. And at this time, it is inevitable that there will be comparisons...... Whose credit I have more than me, who has more credit than mine, what reward do I deserve, what reward does he deserve, what if I am inferior to others? ”

Fang Xie frowned slightly, he really didn't expect this layer.

"Before......"

Wu Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "The lord asked Yan Zeng to lead his troops to attack the Lingmen Pass, and Dugu said to the lord that Yan Zeng was a general and could not be reused. Today, he said that the authority of the riding school is too heavy, and the points should be reduced by ......"

Fang Xie nodded: "I ignored these, Dugu has always relied on him since he followed me, and he is indeed very talented, just like your comments about him at the beginning, he has the talent of a prime minister." But when people reach a certain height, they often start to move their minds and start thinking about what threatens them. Chen Xiaoru's Xiaoqi School is indeed too powerful, external and internal investigations, and he is directly responsible to me and is not controlled by others. ”

"Once this power rises, the people outside the Black Flag Army will naturally be afraid, why shouldn't the people inside the Black Flag Army be worried?"

Fang Xie sighed lightly: "Dugu's temperament is okay, he won't do anything out of the ordinary, he still needs to use it, if there is such a move in the future, I will remind him." As for the ...... of the Riding School"

Fang explained: "Now that there is a need for a yamen like the Xiao Riding School, it is scary, so the power cannot be reduced. ”

Wu Yi nodded: "I'm just guessing." ”

……

……

Xiao Riding School Yamen

Chen Xiaoru looked at the thick stack of papers on the table, and couldn't help but smile: "The lord came up with this method to work, if it is interrogated one by one, where are those iron mouths and steel teeth so easy to obey." Now it is other officials who expose and report, and it is very clear when they have done anything, and there is nothing these people can do no matter how hard they talk. ”

Yi Chong said: "The most important thing is that now the lord has easily transferred the contradiction. In the name of avenging the people of the Yang family's royal family, the lord got rid of these officials. And it is another official who reports and exposes these officials. The families behind those officials who were taken down, even if they were resentful, the most hated was not the lord, but the courtiers who were not arrested. ”

Chen Xiaoru Ha Lu Ha Da smiled: "The lord this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only to win a batch of hidden dangers, but also to make the rest of the people unable to unite, in addition to greater hidden dangers, wonderful, wonderful!" ”

Qianhu Baixi, who was sitting on the side, said: "Now the reputation of our Xiao Riding School is even louder than that of the original Ouchi Guard. Those big shots, when they mention the word Xiao Riding School, they will tremble in their hearts. ”

Qianhu Lan Qianshou sat at the farthest point, with knives building nails. His nickname is the Demon of a Thousand Faces and a Thousand Hands, and the most important thing on weekdays is his face and hands. He cares more about his face than women, and he has more skin care things in famous shops than anyone else. And these hands are more attentive, as if protecting a peerless treasure. The nails are always neatly built and clean, and there is never a trace of dirt between the nails.

"It's all good, but it's also bad."

He looked at Chen Xiaoru and said, "I grew up in the martial arts academy with my master since I was a child, and I have seen too much intrigue between people. Take those students in the Yanwu Academy as an example, they want to fight for the first three battles. I'll give you a stumbling block today, and I'll dig a hole for him tomorrow. Especially the top three students, who have a little strength to compete with them, and everyone wants to replace them. The reputation of our Xiao Riding School is loud, but it will also make many people jealous...... It's like the top three students, I'm afraid that there are stumbling blocks and pits. ”

Chen Xiaoru was silent, and then shook his head: "As long as the Lord believes in us, we are not afraid of stumbling blocks, and we are not afraid of pits." What's more, if you want to dig a hole with a stumbling block, who else is better than us? ”

"You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people."

Lan Qianshou said: "What's more, what our Xiao Riding School is doing is doing harmful things...... Therefore, the heart of guarding against others is even more indispensable. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a riding school outside hurriedly came over and said at the door: "Lord Dutong, the lord urgently summons you to Changchun Garden." ”

Chen Xiaoru hurriedly got up and said to the others: "You all handle the case and close the case as soon as possible." I'll go to Changchun Garden first, and I'll listen to the progress when I come back. ”

He walked out of the yamen of the Xiaoqi School and went straight to Changchun Garden.

When he arrived at the Fengyu Building, it was already a little dark, and when Chen Xiaoru came in, he found that the food had been set on the table in the room. It's not extravagant and it's not hardcover, two bowls of japonica rice porridge, two pairs of chopsticks, and a few side dishes on the table, only one meat.

"Sit down and eat together."

Fang Xie pointed to the stool, then waved his hand to signal that all the people waiting in the room were leaving.

Chen Xiaoru leaned over and sat down on the stool, his hands on his knees, waiting for Fang Xie to speak.

"Don't pretend to be so reserved."

Fang Xie glanced at him and said, "After you are full, I still have something to tell you to do." ”

Chen Xiaoru hurriedly responded and accompanied Fang Xie to eat.

"After coming down from the dynasty this morning, I have nothing to do and turn over the history of the previous dynasty......"

Fang Xie said casually while eating: "I happened to see the founding of Da Zheng and the new emperor ascending the throne, and I was quite emotional. ”

If it were someone else, he must have thought that Fang Xie was thinking about being the emperor. But Chen Xiaoru was so thoughtful that he immediately thought of somewhere else. The reason why he was able to be reused by Fang Xie to manage the Xiao Riding School was precisely because he was careful and smart enough. He thought that when Da Zheng had just established the country, the ministers were fighting for merit, like a dog eating a dog, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Thinking of this, where did he still have the heart to eat, so he quickly stood up and lowered his head and said, "Lord, is there someone in the Xiao Riding School who made a mistake?" ”

"Nope"

Fang Xie shook his head: "But...... Not now, does not mean that there will be no in the future. I've been worrying about one thing, and every time I think about it, I feel a little uneasy. I asked you to govern the Xiao Riding School, supervise the situation of hundreds of officials and the people, and I have given the maximum authority to the Xiao Riding School, this is because I know your character. However, what if someone in the riding school makes a mistake? ”

Chen Xiaoru became even more frightened, and suddenly remembered what Lan Qianshou said before, his heart was so tight that even his breathing became unstable.

"Don't be afraid, I don't suspect anything about you. But there are some things that must be thought about in front. I called you this time to make you on an errand. ”

Fang Xie glanced at Chen Xiaoru: "From Ming'er, you select the most elite manpower to form another yamen, this yamen is not on the surface." You come to catch it yourself, you take care of it yourself, these people are still from the Xiao Riding School, but they have a shady duty...... Supervise the Riding School. ”

Chen Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his face also recovered some blood.

"Don't worry, my subordinates will do it immediately."

"The power of the Xiao Riding School is too great, and it is inevitable that there will be people who stutter."

Fang explained: "When you enter Chang'an City, people's hearts are easy to move. Those who want to buy a riding school are here, and you are their biggest target. I trust you, so I'll let you do it. ”

"Whoa"

Chen Xiaoru nodded heavily: "My subordinates understand!" ”
