Chapter 158: Suppression and appeasement

For Chen Jialuo to enter the palace to assassinate Qianlong, Fang Xiaoyu did not take it to heart, and quickly left it behind, the matter of Honghua entering the palace to assassinate Qianlong is still too far away from him after all, it is simply a matter that can't be beaten by eight poles, instead of thinking about these haves and not, it is better to think about how to live a good life is the right way, but sometimes it is not that you don't want to find trouble, this matter will not come to the door, and on the third day, he was still called to the Shuowang Mansion by Prince Shuo to ask about the strategy of dealing with the anti-Qing rebellion.

When Fang Xiaoyu saw Prince Shuo, Prince Shuo was enjoying a table of food alone, and his mouth was bleeding. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu, Prince Shuo was not polite, and directly asked him to sit down, and asked the maid in the mansion to also prepare a table of food for him, but Fang Xiaoyu was not satisfied with the food in Prince Shuo's eyes, in his opinion, it was a table of greasy things, so he only ate a few bites and stopped chopsticks.

Seeing Fang Xiaoyu so unappreciative, Prince Shuo was very unhappy, wasn't he slapping him in the face, so his face immediately sank: "What, the food in our palace is not to your liking?"

Fang Xiaoyu replied: "The food in the prince's mansion is not bad, or it is too greasy, eating too much greasy things is not good for your body, and it is easy to get obesity, I suggest that you eat more green vegetables, which is good for the stomach, Father Tom can say, it is not a good thing for people to be too fat, if people are too fat, plus less activity, it is easy to get some geriatric diseases." ”

"Geriatrics?"

Prince Shuo was stunned when he heard this, but no one had heard of this disease.

Fang Xiaoyu was very embarrassed and said: "Chinese medicine and Western medicine are different, I don't know how to explain to you, just say it, the diet is too greasy is not a good thing, more salt, more oil and more flesh is not a good thing for the body, especially for the elderly, salt, oil, including excessive intake of meat can easily cause high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar cardiovascular, and stroke and other diseases, if you want to know more specifically, just ask the Tai Doctor of the Tai Hospital, as the saying goes, there is a specialization in the industry, they should know better than me." ”

Prince Shuo's mouth pursed: "Those old things haven't persuaded this king, but this king has this hobby, if he even quits this hobby, what fun is there in this life." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Xiaoyu is not persuading the prince to quit these, but persuading the prince to eat less, not to mention that some meat can still be eaten, such as fish and seafood, eating more vegetables is also conducive to the stomach and digestion, which is very good for your body." ”

Prince Shuo was stunned when he heard this: "It seems that Yongqi girl is right, you are very proficient in food." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Let you laugh, I just drilled around Aunt Li's kitchen when I was a child, and I happened to learn a little Western medicine from Father Tom, but this skill is simply an axe in front of you, Lord Wang." ”

"Let's not say kind words," Prince Shuo immediately put down his chopsticks: "My girl's mouth can be very picky, she can rely on you and not come back, it can be seen that your cooking skills are not simple, I heard the maid in the house said, she brought back two dishes from your Fujin yesterday, one is steamed lion's head, and the other is fried shrimp, but unfortunately these two dishes have been eaten by her mother, I haven't even touched this king, since you are here, show your hands, make a few dishes for this king, let this king and I also taste it." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I would come to the palace and have to make a cameo as a cook." ”

Prince Shuo said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, if you want this king and me to listen to you, you have to show your hand, if you do a good job, this king and I will be rewarded." ”

Fang Xiaoyu did not refuse: "Okay, then borrow the kitchen in your mansion for use." ”

Prince Shuo immediately instructed the maid next to him: "Take Young Master Fang to the kitchen." ”

So the maid took Fang Xiaoyu to the kitchen.

Fang Xiaoyu borrowed the kitchen of Shuo Wangfu and made a kitchen borrowed from the palace, and made a plate of spicy shredded potatoes, a plate of sweet potato shreds, a sweet and sour carp, a plate of stir-fried shrimp, and a golden fried rice. However, Prince Shuo didn't get into his mouth these dishes, and when the food was brought into the restaurant, the scholar Liu Yong came out of nowhere, snatched the plate containing the food and drink directly from the handmaiden, and sat there gobbling it up, as if he was reincarnated as a hungry ghost. His appearance looked at Prince Shuo and swallowed his saliva: "I said Luo Guo, can't you order it, you are also a university scholar, don't make it look like you haven't eaten in your life." ”

But Liu Yong didn't speak at all, but picked up the rice faster.

Prince Shuo was suddenly puzzled, it was not that Liu Yong had not eaten with him before, but he had never been as virtuous as he is now: "Is it really that delicious?"

It wasn't until he finished picking up the last stir-fried shrimp on the plate that Liu Yong wiped his mouth and asked, "Lord Wang, you have a new chef in your house, why don't you let him come a few more." ”

Prince Shuo snorted coldly: "He didn't care about your meal, so you came to this king to eat and drink." ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "What does this have to do with Lord Jia, I just went home from the court, and before I ate anything, I was caught by the prince and caught by the prince, and I shared your worries and relieved your labor, shouldn't you take care of the meal." ”

Prince Shuo said angrily: "Those dishes were originally made for this king, but this king didn't have time to eat a mouthful, and they all went into your stomach?"

Liu Yong smiled and said: "Don't be so stingy, okay, there are so many delicacies on your table, don't grab that bit of food with the villain, and besides, the cook is in your house, if you want to eat back, let him make a few dishes again, and then take people's soft hands and eat people's soft mouths, since I have eaten your food, what is the difficulty, you can say it, I Liu Yong should share the worries and relieve the work for the prince." ”

"That's pretty much it," said Prince Shuo, You have also seen the situation in the court today, Prince Rong and He Shen are two people around the civil anti-Qing chaos party is to suppress or Fu disputes, it is a headache, after the dispersal of the dynasty, the emperor called me to the south study and asked about the king, this king is a big boss, how can there be any ideas, but the emperor is just to catch the ducks on the shelf, I have to give him an answer tomorrow, no way, this king I can only call the two of you over to discuss, see how Ming'er replies to the emperor, both of you have listened to it, there is no proper plan, none of you are allowed to go out of this palace。 ”

Liu Yong smiled: "Lord Wang, this is yours, the method is thought of, not forced." ”

Prince Shuo said angrily: "What's wrong with this king forcing you, what is the soft mouth of eating people, and the short hand of taking people." ”

Fang Xiaoyu asked Prince Shuo at this time: "What are the different opinions of the adults in the court?"

Prince Shuo said angrily: "In addition to suppressing and soothing, what other opinions can you have?"

"That's not necessarily, if it was useful to suppress or caress it, there would be no today's court dispute?"

Liu Yong's interest immediately came: "Do you have any high opinions?"

Fang Xiaoyu replied: "If it is useful to suppress or appease, there will be no endless anti-Qing organizations among the people, first there is the Heaven and Earth Society, then the Sun and Moon Society, the Dragon Slaying Gang, and the Red Flower Society. ”

Prince Shuo nodded: "I know this king, but what else can we do besides suppressing or soothing?"

Fang Xiaoyu replied: " If it is based on suppressing or soothing the emperor, he will definitely not be satisfied, as far as I know, there are 100,000 people in various places in the saffron society, and the momentum is huge, if all these people are killed, it will definitely be inappropriate, not to mention that our emperor is determined to become the lord of a generation of Ming monarchs, how can he allow such a big stain in his political career, Prince Rong proposed this policy is simply quite predictable, you must know that it is a hundred thousand people, what will be the consequences of killing all these people, have you ever thought about it, each of these people has their own relatives and friends, even if each person only has a dozen relatives and friends, 100,000 people are counted as millions of people, even if they dare not openly oppose the court, is also dissatisfied, if you add the fan of the heart, it will be a bloody storm. ”

Liu Yong bowed his head: "What about Fu?"

"It will not be enough to appease me, and if it is useful, the non-governmental anti-Qing organizations will not rise one after another. ”

Prince Shuo asked: "But whether it is soothing or suppressing, we must always have a decision." ”

Fang Xiaoyu replied: "Since it is not enough to simply suppress or caress it, why not take the stream path and use it at the same time." ”

"Suppress and soothe?"

Prince Shuo and Liu Yong were stunned.

"No suppression is not a fu, suppression is the means, fuss is the goal, only a two-pronged approach, the chaos of the party can be eliminated, the so-called brocade clothes, and why drive the dog into the poor alley is this truth. ”

Although Prince Shuo was a little confused, Liu Yong saw a completely different avenue, and he immediately stood up and said goodbye to Prince Shuo: "Lord, the slave has taken his leave." ”

Then he hurried away.

Prince Shuo was stunned: "Why did this Liu Luoguo leave without saying a word." ”

Fang Xiaoyu replied, "Lord Liu, he has already understood what I mean, I think he must have made a statement to Prince Jia." β€œ

Prince Shuo immediately came to his senses and said indignantly: "This Luo pot is really not a thing, eating this king's and drinking this king's, this elbow is still turning outward." ”

"Lord Wang, calm down," Fang Xiaoyu comforted Prince Shuo: "Liu Yong is a close confidant of Prince Jia, of course, he is towards his master, but in terms of Xiaoyu, Prince Jia, he will definitely not come to grab this merit from the prince, what he needs most now is not any credit, but allies, although he was made a prince by the emperor, but he has many enemies, except for Prince Rong, In addition to the gentry, there is also Fu Ankang, these people's power in the court is above him, to deal with these people he needs allies, if even the prince you are offended, then can he still find allies, so the prince can relax, even tomorrow it is not too late for you to enter the palace to face the saint. ”

Only then did Prince Shuo calm down: "But what should I say when I see the emperor to satisfy the emperor?"

"The basis of the Fu is to suppress, there is no to suppress where to Fu, at the same time, but also to consider how to win the trust of those chaotic parties, if the emperor asks you how to win the trust, you will say that you are a rough person, hold back all night and hold out a suppression and appeasement, as for how to suppress and use it has not been thought out, but so many smart people in the court, combined with the wisdom of everyone, can always come up with a proper way. ”

Prince Shuo finally nodded: "You mean that the sedan chair is carried by everyone, this king understands, you have done this king a great favor this time, how do you say this king should I reward you?"

Fang Xiaoyu replied: "Lord Wang, didn't you reward the villain with a bow, but the villain also has a little strength, and the archery technique is so bad that I want to trouble the sharpshooter in the house to point out my archery skills." ”

Prince Shuo nodded: "Okay, I'll let Etuge find you tomorrow, but I have to say that, you should also practice your archery well, your archery skills are not ordinarily bad." ”
