Chapter 153: The Emperor's Scheming

Feng Zhirong figured it out when she heard the emperor say this. She thought of an analogy in her mind and said, "Your Majesty, if the lord of a city wants to arrest smugglers, so he sets up a very strict curfew on the four gates of the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the city wall, and all of them are checked by officials, then is this smuggling still successful?" ”

The emperor didn't expect Feng Zhirong to talk to him like this, but he was stunned for a moment, and said: "Naturally, it won't work, this smuggler can't be caught, I'm afraid he should also abandon this city and find another place to do business." ”

Feng Zhirong said again: "But what if there are more than four gates in this city, there are other small gates that are usually inconspicuous? Like rivers, dark passages, etc.? ”

The emperor shook his head and said, "As the lord of a city, it is impossible not to even guard against this kind of place, otherwise he will be disqualified." ”

"That's it." Feng Zhirong hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and said: "The smugglers also know about it, but the city lord deliberately left that gap and pretended not to notice it, and if the traffickers want to make money, they have to exploit that loophole, and they have to take advantage of the loophole that no one patrols, this is a trick to lure the enemy." ”

The emperor nodded: "Yang Dong really left a hand." ”

"King Qinghe told me that the city in the north was impregnable and impossible to climb over the walls, but I had read books that the terrain there had a small hill as a natural barrier. Although the walls are connected and seem difficult to climb, as long as they are natural barriers, they may have holes, or they can be easily crossed than a stone wall made of bricks or bricks. ”

King Jing opened his mouth to remind: "There must be patrols in that kind of place, what you say is not true." ”

"So, as long as there is any movement elsewhere, it can temporarily lure people away?" Feng Zhirong paused for a while, found an idiom and said: "Striking the east and attacking the west is also one of the art of war, and the situation in the north is tense. ”

King Jing muttered, "It stands to reason that this should be recorded......

The emperor frowned: "Yang Dong was experienced at that time, and these records would generally be checked and reported to the Ministry of War, but those broken papers were also personally turned over many times, and they were not written at all. ”

Feng Zhirong remembered that King Jing had told her that Yang Dong was a timid and fearful civil official in the past, maybe because of such a big change that night, he didn't dare to write about the slightest abnormality in this patrol?

But if this is the case, it is dereliction of duty, and there was indeed a big incident that night, if it was reported honestly, it would be fine, but after many years of thorough investigation, Yang Dong is still tight-lipped as a bottle, and this crime is really not light.

Feng Zhirong didn't take the initiative to say it, because this matter is a big matter, and if this is the case, he only needs to find a reason to pick up Yang Dong's real power, after all, his deeds later are true, and he may be able to make up for it. And if the incident of that year was really caused by this, the core of this "heart disease" can be regarded as a temporary lift, and it is not too big a bad thing.

However, Feng Zhirong thought so, and the other three men present didn't think so. In particular, King Qi completely guessed everything that was being deduced in Feng Zhirong's mind: "Yang Dong must have been derelict in his duties and missed the changes in the patrol that night, so we couldn't find the reason for it for several years. ”

King Jing also nodded, but didn't say anything. And the emperor slapped the table and said, "Even if he is so diligent and makes up for his merits later, it is useless!" I don't know that a few of us have gray hair and worked hard in the past few years, but we are actually doing white work! ”

Feng Zhirong was frightened by this cold slapping on the table, which also made King Jing show a little dissatisfaction: "If my father wants to be so excited, I will take Zhirong away first, so as not to scare people." ”

The emperor glared at his son and said, "Don't think about it! ”

King Jing didn't say anything, just stood beside Feng Zhirong, which was considered to be a strong courage for her.

"Lao Tzu has raised you for twenty-one years for nothing!" The emperor muttered for a while, and then said, "Girl, don't get too close to my broken son, his men have killed a lot of people, including many little girls!" ”

The corners of Feng Zhirong's mouth twitched, and she looked up at King Jing again, and King Jing also explained helplessly: "They are all characters you don't want to see." ”

Feng Zhirong nodded again when she heard this, but didn't say anything.

The emperor saw that his "discord plan" had not succeeded, so he had to change the topic to the next place in a huff. "Girl, what about the family surnamed Fan? What do you think? You just said that there is no proof of death, but this Fan family ...... I haven't made any achievements in the past few years, and it's not good to occupy that position. ”

Feng Zhirong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if it's just because they haven't made achievements and maybe they can be attributed to the scope of their duties, it's still too peaceful, if they neglect their duties on weekdays, there should be rules to discipline them, and these courtiers can't answer." ”

The emperor pondered for a while, and said, "Their family—except for the dead old Fan, there really isn't anything useful, I want to make a place for someone......"

Feng Zhirong knew that she had nothing to do with herself at this time, so she gave King Jing a look. King Jing knew what Feng Zhirong meant, so he only said: "Father, I didn't bring Zhirong here today to make her nerve-wracking. ”

The emperor glared at his son and said, "You brought her to show me, can't I ask some questions after reading it?" This is the Tongming Palace! This means that this is a place to discuss state affairs with the ministers, so it is natural that state affairs should be discussed.

King Jing said: "Feng Zhirong is only ten years old, no matter how smart she is, such state affairs should not be discussed with her." ”

"Oh, you're saying she doesn't have a place, right?" The emperor glanced at his son again, and said: "Then I will pass on a will and canonize her as Princess Jing as soon as possible, my daughter-in-law is extremely smart!" It's nothing to talk to your daughter-in-law about state affairs! ”

Feng Zhirong trembled, although this sentence sounded like a gamble, but if it was really spread out, I am afraid that from now on, King Jing's side and Feng Mansion will not be at peace.

After all, King Jing still has the status of a prince, and it is great to scare a few more people who are not long-sighted, and Feng Fu's words are really difficult to do - he still has five years to become an adult, and he is the youngest person in the family, even if he has the identity of Princess Jing, he can't stand on the front line to block swords and guns for everyone.
