"Ridiculous!"

Fang Fengshi directly scolded at this time.

Because he didn't expect that he was a dignified young master, a secretary of the Ministry and a privy envoy of the Privy Council of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, a minister of the Imperial Governor's Department, a minister of political affairs in the political hall, and a ruling minister, he was asked by several minor officials to be grateful, and they were grateful that they brought him his current power and status.

After Fang scolded him, he asked Gu Xiancheng, Wei Yunzhong, and Li Sancai to get out of the way.

Gu Xiancheng and the others did not get out of the way, and Gu Xiancheng continued: "With the current powerful position of the prime minister, he is already the same as the prime minister, such as the Song Zhixi Mansion is in power, why bother to look at his cabinet face and continue to be a cabinet lackey?" ”

"Presumptuous! Who allowed you to govern so badly? ”

Fang asked directly.

"Isn't it?"

"If not, the cardinal will directly talk about it now, how will the cardinal minister prepare for the Son of Heaven to thank the edict and refute the edict?!"

Wei Yunzhong asked aggressively.

Li Sancai also sneered and said, "The cardinal minister will not even hide how he plans to vote on this matter, and he won't let me wait to know, right?" ”

"But the prime minister knows that now Xie Zhizhi knows that he may disobey the ministers, and he is already sitting at home waiting to hang himself! It was only because we persuaded him that he did not hang himself, because we said that the cardinal minister was a man of great talent, and he was willing to come to the Privy Council to intercede with the cardinal minister on his behalf, so that he believed that he was willing to wait for the cardinal minister to save him, but he promised to wait only for this day; ”

"Unless the cardinal minister really would rather sit back and watch Xie Zhizhi die because of this, he must obey Jiangling's will and dare not make his own decision, so he will not give me an answer at this time."

"You're threatening the House?"

Fang asked in a deep voice.

"Definitely! I just want the world to know that the cardinal minister is not a Jiangling lackey! ”

Gu Xiancheng replied at this time.

Fang Fengshi had to soften his tone and asked: "Taking advantage of the abundant national funds, and the Son of Heaven is not extravagant, and the powerful dare not ask for gifts, what's wrong with increasing troops and strengthening the army, aren't you worried about the Gengxu Revolution and the large-scale rebellion again?" ”

"Hu Lu plundered and left, but it was just a loss of some people and goods, and the martial arts became bigger, and the Son of Heaven will have the ability to conquer and conquer, which is more important, I don't know if the prime minister?"

Gu Xiancheng asked.

Li Sancai also said: "That's right, isn't it clear that the cardinal is also different?" ”

Fang Fengshi asked again: "Because of this, Hu Lu has become bigger, and has gradually become a captive, and even raised tens of thousands of elite soldiers, there are also civil servants and strategists, and there is even a peasant and soldier system, and even has the ability to destroy my China, what should I do?" At that time, the Son of Heaven has no soldiers, how to do it? ”

"You can gather tens of thousands of soldiers in each town, which is enough to destroy the captives, and you can be safe!"

"Therefore, the Son of Heaven has no soldiers, and it will not affect the society!"

Gu Xiancheng said.

Fang Fengshi sneered: "The general soldiers of each town have families, and the Son of Heaven has no soldiers, how can the imperial court control it?" ”

"The cardinal is confused?"

Li Sancai asked with a smile, and then replied: "Naturally, it is made of food!" ”

"As long as they don't increase their food and wages as they do now, with the meager income from their own fields and border trade in the towns on the nine borders, there are not enough people to support the clan, if the imperial court does not give them a lot of food and wages, and the family can only be supported by thousands, how can it be done?"

"And because each town belongs to different origins, it can also make it check and balance each other, so that a holy decree can make one of them return to Beijing to die!"

Li Sancai then said again, and then said: "And in this way, it is equivalent to only letting the generals of the towns on the nine sides with a small number of family members to guard the nine sides for the imperial court, or occasionally help exterminate some rogues, and in case of major events, you can also gather and ask for it, then you can protect the country for a hundred years!" ”

"The key is that it can save a lot of money for raising troops and avoid the situation of redundant soldiers;"

"In addition, it can also make the Son of Heaven not reckless because of the strength of the army, but also save expenses, so that the business tax can be reduced, so that the people will be rich and the country will be safe!"

Li Sancai said and asked Fang Fengshi: "Doesn't the prime minister understand the sage truth that only by lightly paying for a meager fortune and not speaking easily can the country prosper?" ”

"According to what you said, only a small number of families are allowed to be raised in each town of the Nine Sides to maintain stability in the Nine Sides, and even the recruited generals of the Southern Army should be eliminated; So once Hu Lu sits big, and the soldiers and horses gathered in the nine towns are not subordinate to each other and have the heart to preserve their strength, so that they fight separately during the war, and even collude with Hu Lu to harm friendly troops, so that the imperial court is defeated in case of a big defeat, and even the danger of losing the country, what should I do? ”

Fang Fengshi then asked.

All three did not answer for a moment.

Fang Fengshi sneered: "If you have never served as a border minister, you dare to talk about military politics!" ”

"It's really that far, but it's not easy."

As soon as Li Sancai said his words, Gu Xiancheng grabbed him, and only arched his hand: "What the cardinal minister said is that we don't have enough knowledge. Thank you for admonishing you, and we will continue to discourage it. ”

After speaking, Gu Xiancheng stepped aside.

Li Sancai had no choice but to step aside.

Wei Yunzhong also stepped aside.

Fang Fengshi snorted and left in a sedan chair.

"Why didn't Uncle Shi let me say 'change of ownership', could it be that Fang Jiayu really regarded himself as a slave of the heavenly family, and he didn't know how to be loyal to the king?"

And after Fang Fengshi left, Li Sancai asked Gu Xiancheng a little unconvinced.

Gu Xiancheng said: "Although what you said is reasonable, but you can't say it, be careful of provoking the fire!" ”

"After all, not all scholars feel that the change of dynasty has nothing to do with scholars, and there are also scholars who will try not to let the change of dynasty occur for the sake of the so-called social tranquility."

"What's more, it is impossible for us to really say that we are willing to betray the monarch of this dynasty and welcome the new lord in the future, once this is said, it will be completely immoral!"

"Because the Mandate of Heaven is still the Zhu family, it is difficult to violate the Mandate of Heaven and be disloyal to the monarch at this time."

Li Sancai nodded after hearing this, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Gu Xiancheng: "Fortunately, Uncle reminds him." ”

Then, Li Sancai said: "Is this the end of this matter, do we really want to watch the Son of Heaven become a lone husband by Zhang Juzheng, and cannot be a holy lord and virtuous monarch?" ”

After Gu Xiancheng pondered for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Then let the Son of Heaven know in the future that Zhang Jiangling is an unpopular traitor, and his evil is worse than strict and appropriate, and the deception of the king is the deepest!" ”

"Uncle, what he said is right, the Son of Heaven grew up in the deep palace, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and Zhang Jiangling has already usurped the imperial power, and there are words like 'I am not the Xiang, but the Lord' as evidence, in the future, it should not be difficult to make the Son of Heaven believe that if you don't remove Zhang Dang, you will not be a holy monarch, and if you don't remove your own pro-military guard, you will not be the master, it should not be difficult!"

Wei Yunzhong echoed at this time.

Li Sancai also nodded: "Now it can only be like this!" As long as the Son of Heaven is willing to reverse his position and cut off his arm, then everything is still possible. ”

……

"Uncle, there is a little ghost who wants to manipulate the court."

After Fang returned to the compound of the official residence, he did come to see Zhang Juzheng, and after Zhang Juzheng also returned to the official residence, he specially stopped him and chatted with him.

Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly after hearing this: "Don't despise these little ghosts, maybe these people will be the ones who will harm me in the future." ”

"How dare I despise it!"

"It can be said that I am persuading hard, but people don't listen!"

"I almost said that the death of the country is nothing more than a change of hands!"

"In their eyes, the rise and fall of this world seems to have nothing to do with him, at most it is just like a trading house workshop has changed owners, and it has nothing to do with us bureaucrats who are equivalent to managing things."

Fang Fengshi said that he told Zhang Juzheng about his encounter with Gu Xiancheng, Li Sancai, and Wei Yunzhong.

After Zhang Juzheng pondered for a long time, he said, "All this depends on Your Majesty!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Juzheng asked Fang Fengshi: "The cardinal came to see the servant, was it because of the reorganization of the six guards of the pro-army that was refuted?" ”

"It's like a god, it's still Uncle Ling."

Fang Fengshi said with a smile, and then said, "I still have to listen to what you mean." ”

"And wait for tomorrow after the Wenhua Hall faces the saint, and the servant will convey the holy will to the cardinal."

Zhang Juzheng replied, and left Fang Fengshi's place, and returned to his first assistant's residence.

And Fang Shi also gave up.

"This Fang Jiayu is really a Jiangling lackey! If you have great power, you don't even have to deal with a speech official, you have to ask him for Jiangling's life! ”

The big salt merchant is also Zhang Sijiao, who is Zhang Siwei's younger brother, and at this time, after seeing Fang Fengshi and Zhang Juzheng talking in Zhang Siwei's secondary auxiliary residence, he said to Zhang Siwei.

Although he couldn't hear what Fang Fengshi said, based on the news he inquired about and his understanding of the current situation, he could guess what Fang Fengshi was talking to Zhang Juzheng.

"You say, could it be done on purpose to show us?"

Zhang Siwei asked at this time.

Zhang Sijiao couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this: "Brother, what does this mean?" ”
