Night, Nanjing Imperial Palace, Wuying Palace.

Fang Xiaoru stood in the hall, standing with his hands down, looking a little lonely.

At this time, there was a movement outside the door, and Zhu Guanwen took Wang Zhong and walked in unhurriedly.

The moment he saw Fang Xiaoru, he smiled, and then waved his hand at Wang Zhong and said, "Wang Zhong, go make a pot of hot tea and prepare three more cups!" ”

"Three cups?"

Wang Zhong was stunned, a little unclear.

Zhu Guanwen didn't explain, just walked to the bookcase by himself and sat down slowly.

"Minister, Fang Xiaoru, see Your Majesty."

Fang Xiaoru saw Zhu Guanwen sitting down, and immediately saluted him.

Zhu Guanwen smiled, raised his hand and said, "Mr. Fang doesn't have to be polite, please sit down!" ”

"Yes."

Fang Xiaoru honestly found a seat and sat down.

Zhu Guanwen glanced at him and asked lightly, "Didn't I ask Mr. Fang to prepare Enke?" Why did Mr. Fang come here late at night? ”

"Your Majesty...."

Fang Xiaoru opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Zhu Guanwen said a little funny: "Haven't you figured it out, why did I do this?" ”

Fang Xiaoru said sincerely: "The minister has always adhered to the words of the saint and done the right thing, and what he said today, the minister can't sleep!" ”

"Well, I'm really sorry for you!"

Zhu Guanwen nodded in understanding, and then asked Fang Xiaoru: "Mr. Fang, what is your dream?" ”

"Dreams?"

Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhu Guanwen with some puzzlement.

Zhu Guanwen said with a smile: "A dream is an expectation for the future, a goal that you want to work hard to achieve. “

"This ....."

Fang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, and said: "The minister's dream is to be used by the country and go down in history!" ”

"So what are you going to do?" Zhu Guanwen continued to ask.

"How?"

Fang Xiaoru was stunned by the question.

At this time, Wang Zhong brought a pot of hot tea.

Zhu Guanwen poured the tea and said to himself: "Actually, no matter what you do, the first thing is to be used by me, if I don't use you, no matter how big my dream is, it will be just an empty dream." ”

Fang Xiaoru was silent, and Zhu Guanwen raised his hand to signal: "Mr. Fang, please drink tea!" ”

Fang Xiaoru picked up the teacup, took a sip, shook his head and said: "Even if Your Majesty wants to use the minister, you shouldn't let the minister go against his heart, if the minister loses his heart, is the minister still a minister?" ”

"Okay, let's change the subject."

Zhu Guanwen smiled and said, "I ask you, is it wrong to cut the domain?" ”

"Nope." Fang Xiaoru replied very dryly.

Zhu Guanwen continued: "Since it is right to cut the feudal domain, then why did I design Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and the ministers? ”

"This.... This minister is also puzzled! ”

"You don't understand, I tell you, because they're too extreme!"

Fang Xiaoru frowned and was silent.

Zhu Guanwen said eloquently: "Mr. Fang, think about it, which of the extreme emperors in history can die well? ”

"Now that the court has spread the rumors that I am going to cut the domain, will they not know about my uncles? Now that you know, will the cutting of the feudal domain still go smoothly? ”

"Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai are my close courtiers, if they go to extremes, will those uncles of mine think that I will also go to extremes?"

"Can I go to extremes? I can't, because I have to take care of all aspects! ”

"I like to read, but I am not a literati and a Confucian minister, I can leave a name for the sake of history, and I will die for the sake of death. I am the king of a country, and if the king of a country dies, he will die! ”

"So, I can't do things perfectly, because once I do things, there will be big problems!"

Hearing this, Fang Xiaoru fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "Your Majesty seems to have completely changed his mind since he fainted, why is this?" ”

"Because I figured it out!"

Zhu Guanwen said: "I don't want to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, I want to win all." ”

"What does it mean to be a total victory?"

"The meaning of total victory is that I can't make myself happy in order to destroy you, in order to make you miserable, I want to make you use for me! Can Mr. Fang understand? ”

Fang Xiaoru: "......."

"What is the winning mindset in the Art of War? Achieve others, achieve yourself, the way of yin and yang, carry each other! It means that one's own success is not called success, but only success can be called success if you lead a group of people to succeed! Can Mr. Fang understand? ”

"But ....."

Fang Xiaoru hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty asked the ministers to frame their colleagues, which is not in line with the way of being a king. ”

"The way of kingship?"

Zhu Guanwen raised his eyebrows, and immediately looked directly at Fang Xiaoru: "Before answering Mr. Fang, I would like to ask Mr. Fang a question, if I asked Mr. Fang to pick a flower in the 'Palace Garden', which one would Mr. Fang pick?" ”

"......" Fang Xiaoru pondered for a moment, and then replied: "The minister will pick the most beautiful one!" ”

"Does Mr. Fang know which one I will pick?"

"I don't know, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

Zhu Guanwen said: "I tell you that I will pick the ugliest one!" ”

Fang Xiaoru: "......"

"Any idea why? Because there is no room for useless garbage in my garden! ”

"Your Majesty...."

Fang Xiaoru was stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Guanwen to say this.

But Zhu Guanwen just wants to completely smash Fang Xiaoru's unrealistic ideas and let him put himself in the right position.

But I heard Zhu Guanwen continue: "I don't care about your heart, I only care about whether you are useful to me, if you respect your heart, I will not embarrass you, but I will never use you." ”

"But Your Majesty..."

Fang Xiaoru came back to his senses from the shock and said bitterly: "The king is secretly subordinate to the people, and the people are not with him. If you don't do this, the country has no kind! ”

"Mr. Fang is talking about the Dumb King, and I am talking about the Emperor's Technique!"

Zhu Guanwen said in a deep voice: "Scholars and emperors rule the world together, not scholars, if Mr. Fang doesn't understand, don't come to see me in the future!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Fang Xiaoru still wanted to say to Zhu Guanwen, but Zhu Guanwen directly waved his hand and interrupted him: "Okay, go back." ”

"Hey!"

Fang Xiaoru was ordered to be evicted by Zhu Guanwen, and couldn't help but sigh and reluctantly withdrew from the hall.

After seeing him leave, Zhu Guanwen slowly closed his eyes.

After a while, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Cao Guogong asks to see you!" ”

Cao Guogong?

Zhu Guanwen opened his eyes suddenly, and he had a faint bad premonition.

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Li Jinglong rushed in in with a disgraced face and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" Please also punish Your Majesty! ”

Hearing the shout, Zhu Guanwen sighed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to go to Huai'an to take care of King Yan, but when the minister rushed to Huai'an, King Yan had already returned to Beiping!"

Zhu Guanwen's face sank, and he said coldly: "Without my will, how dare King Yan leave Huai'an without permission?" Who let him go? ”

According to the Huai'an County Order, after informing the people that he was infected with the plague, King Yan left Huai'an on the grounds that he did not want to implicate the people of Huai'an. At that time, no one dared to stop them, they were afraid of being infected with the plague! ”

"What a guts!"

Zhu Guanwen shouted angrily and slapped the book case, which made Li Jinglong tremble.

Suddenly, a notification voice came from outside the hall again: "Your Majesty, Zhu Gaochi, the prince of King Yan, asks to see you!" ”
