The next day, at noon.

The main hall of the Prime Minister's House.

Fang Xiu sat in the first seat.

The core members of the party such as the secretary of the ministry, the household department, the military department, the criminal department, the left capital of the imperial history, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple sat on the left and right sides.

Fang Xiu's profound gaze swept over their bodies one by one.

picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly:

"How do you think you should deal with the drought in Qingzhou?"

The princes glanced at each other, and they all arched their hands and said, "We all listen to the appearance." ”

Fang Xiu put down the teacup and said expressionlessly: "The drought in Qingzhou is very involved, if hundreds of thousands of victims mutiny, what the consequences will be, all the princes also know it!" ”

"In this case, Benxiang is not going around in circles with you, this drought has made you take out 50,000 taels of silver to buy food and give relief to the victims, is there a problem?"

The voice fell.

All the princes looked at each other, and no one talked to each other for a while.

Although they are all in high positions, the Great Qian Empire is not rich, and they are not greedy.

Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for them, almost equal to half of their family property!

Seeing this, Fang Xiu sneered in his heart.

"When I am greedy for money on weekdays, I am more active than anyone else, and when something happens, I need them to bleed, and I pretend to be dumb again!"

However, he had expected such a situation.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said lightly: "This time the drought in Qingzhou has affected a wide range of people, and as an auxiliary minister, he naturally can't stay out of the matter." ”

"The prime minister has decided to donate 100,000 taels of silver for relief to the victims!"

"This ......"

When the princes heard this, they were all stunned.

Everyone knows that Fang Xiang has always been a master who only enters but does not leave!

What's the matter today, you are willing to give so much silver!

"Fang Xiang took the lead, it seems that he can't hide if he doesn't donate silver this time."

The princes are still thinking.

Qin Xingyan, the head of the household, suddenly stood up and said with an excited face:

"Fang Xiang loves the people like a son, and he is really a model for us!"

"In the face of hundreds of thousands of victims, Fang Xiang is anxious! As an official of the imperial court, we should naturally share our worries for Fang Xiang! ”

"This time for disaster relief, the lower officials are willing to give 80,000 taels of silver!"

When the rest of the princes heard this, they all glared at Qin Xingyan, and said in their hearts: You have a long mouth!

He hesitated for a moment.

The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and others also made decisions.

"Everything under the official is up to Fang Xiang, since Fang Xiang asked Xia Guan to give 50,000 taels of silver, Xia Guan will give 50,000 taels of silver!"

"Xia Guan is also willing to give 50,000 taels!"

The core members of the party spoke one after another.

Only the two of them, Zuodu Yushi and Tobe Shirou, didn't know what they were thinking, and they didn't speak, just drinking tea with a teacup.

If you look closely, you will see that their bodies are trembling slightly, and cold sweat is dripping.

"Good! As long as the princes are willing to provide disaster relief, the drought in Qingzhou will not be a problem. ”

Fang Xiu put down the teacup, got up slowly, his expression suddenly became serious, and said coldly:

"In that case, I'll talk about this second thing!"

When the princes heard this, they were all stunned: the second thing?

In addition to the drought in Qingzhou, is there anything else in the court that is worth discussing?

The princes can sit in this position, which one is not better than a fox.

Soon they thought of what had happened in the early dynasty yesterday, and they all turned their eyes to Zhang Shuo, the imperial history of the Zuo Capital, who was trembling.

"Someone is going to be unlucky now!"

The same thought flashed through the hearts of all the princes.

Fang Xiu got up and slowly walked to the middle of Zhang Shuo, the imperial historian of the left capital, and Liu Sanli, the servant of the household department.

"Do you know that yesterday when you went out of the city, what happened?"

Fang Xiu stood in front of the two of them, looking down at them condescendingly, with a chill in his tone.

When the princes heard this question, they were stunned again.

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and Qi Qi looked at Zhang Shuo, the imperial history of the left capital, with some hostility in his eyes.

Fang Xiu sneered and slowly spoke:

"In just two pillars of incense out of the city, nineteen assassins attacked him!"

"Please guess Zhang Du Yushi and Liu Shilang, who instructed these assassins to be so bold and dare to assassinate their true face!"

Now.

Zhang Shuo and Liu Sanli could no longer restrain the fear in their hearts, and the whole person seemed to be drained of his strength and collapsed on the ground.

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan is sincere to Xiangye, even if he lends Xiaguan ten guts, Xiaguan will never dare to assassinate Xiangye."

"Someone must have framed the official, please see it!"

Having said that, Zhang Shuo and Liu Sanli still didn't know what Fang Xiu meant.

The two of them threw themselves on their knees, crying and grabbing the ground.

"Oh? Someone framed you? ”

Fang Xiu had a sneer on his face, and with a wave of his big hand, he said, "Then the person who framed you will confront you face to face!" ”

"Let the princes also see if they have wronged the people in their own right!"

The voice fell.

The shadow guard escorted the tortured inhuman-looking assassin to Fang Xiu's face.

The assassin was thrown in front of Zhang Shuo and Liu Sanli.

When the two of them saw them, their faces instantly turned pale, their whole bodies trembled, and they couldn't say a word!

It's not just them.

The princes also gasped when they saw the shadow guards with a murderous aura and the tortured inhuman-shaped assassins.

They never imagined that Fang Xiang's methods would be so powerful!

In just one day, the mastermind behind the assassins could be identified.

Now.

The eyes of the princes looking at Fang Xiu were filled with fear!

"Looks like you don't have much more to say!"

Fang Xiu looked down at the two of them and said in a cold voice:

"Murdering the prime minister of the dynasty, this alone is enough to make you doomed!"

"Someone! Put them in prison! After His Majesty is revealed, it will be disposed of by His Majesty! ”

"Yes, Xiangye!"

Two shadow guards stepped forward and dragged the two out of the hall like dead dogs.

Things have come to this point.

The princes in the hall still don't understand.

Fang Xiang is killing chickens and making an example of monkeys!

Although they didn't do things like Zhang Shuo and Liu Sanli.

But while Fang Xiang was in a coma, most of them also had strange thoughts.

For example, when Qin Xingyan was impeached, none of them stood up to intercede for Qin Xingyan.

Doesn't that tell the story?

Fang Xiang disposed of Zhang Shuo and the others in front of them this time, just to tell them!

Don't have dissenting hearts!

Otherwise, this is what will happen to you!

Zhu Gong looked at the bloody assassin at Fang Xiu's feet, and they all began to recall in their minds whether they had done anything too much during this time.

Fang Xiu finished dealing with Zhang Shuo and the two, sat back on the Taishi chair, and said with a smile on his face again:

"Your Majesty doesn't know who you've listened to in recent days, and you're always wary of your true appearance and the princes."

"I think all the princes are also aware of this."

"Although the prime minister and the princes only have a loyal and patriotic heart, there are too many slanders, which will inevitably affect Your Majesty's judgment."

"Therefore, the prime minister wants to tell the princes that the more times like this, the more we must unite!"

"After today, don't have anything like Zhang Shuo and Liu Sanli, two dog thieves!"

"Alright, enough for today."

"The prime minister still has to enter the palace and ask His Majesty for instructions on how to deal with these two dog thieves."

"The princes should also go back to their homes to raise money and food for the relief of the victims."

"The true appearance will not be left to the public!"

The voice fell.

The princes stood up one after another and saluted in unison.

"Retire!"

Subsequently, they left the Xiangguo Mansion one by one tremblingly.

After a while, there was only one Fang Xiu left in the main hall.

Fang Xiu looked at the back of the departing princes, thought for a moment, and ordered:

"Prepare the car, the prime minister wants to enter the palace to face the saint!"
