Chapter 1532: Teasing

"Your Majesty, Xing Hebo's move will help balance the government. I think it's enough to just sit back and watch. I think neither civil servants nor Xing Hebo will make a move. Instead, the balance will come."

Zhang Mao's attitude was still neither humble nor overbearing, and looking at Fengshen's handsome appearance, he compared him to Wen Fang, who was in a trance beside him.

The weather was fine, and even some fog had just cleared, which was refreshing.

On the left side of the imperial case was a bowl of fish soup, and Zhu Gaochi was drinking it slowly.

"Wanwan's cooking skills have improved."

Zhu Gaochi put down the spoon in satisfaction, and the comfort between his brows gradually dissipated.

"Who is loyal to me?"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly asked this sentence expressionlessly.

Zhang Mao was still thinking about the meaning of Zhu Gaochi's question, and the text bubbled up.

"Your Majesty, most of the people in the court are naturally loyal, but the rewards and punishments are all from above. Your Majesty, Cao Laoer should be severely punished!"

Rewards and punishments come from above, which is the only way to establish the authority of the king.

Talking in general terms is useless!

Zhu Gaochi looked down at the paperweight, and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I think that... loyalty depends on authority, blindly rewarding, it will only make the ministers... get carried away."

Zhu Gaochi asked with great interest: "Since I inherited the Datong, there have been rewards and punishments. What do you want to say?"

Zhang Mao was silent for a moment, then said resolutely, "Your Majesty, it's not big enough!"

Wen Fang retorted: "Moving the honorable ministers, everyone will be in danger, and His Majesty has only ascended the throne. It is not appropriate to make a big move at this moment!"

Zhang Mao lowered his head and said, "I'm lying."

Zhu Gaochi looked at the argument between the two with cold eyes, and said softly: "Speak freely, I will not blame you. As for... not big enough!"

Zhu Gaochi said expressionlessly: "I just sent people to the Marquis of Fuyang. Starting from Li Rang, they all took away the honor, took back the iron coupons, and demoted them to common people!"

Wen Fang was shocked, and Zhang Mao's peace was broken.

Only then did the two realize that the emperor above had been honed by Zhu Di for many years, how could he be a role at the mercy of others? !

Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly, looking a little simple and honest, but what he said was shocking.

"Tell them, Daming needs stability, I need stability, and I will naturally decide what to do, no one else needs to intervene!"

Zhu Gaochi rubbed the paperweight, and continued with a smile: "The follow-up matters of the Northern Expedition have not been dealt with yet, are you free? Then hurry up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two bowed to leave, but they didn't see a sneer on Zhu Gaochi's honest face.

After leaving Qianqing Palace, Wen Fang let out a breath and said with lingering fear: "Just now I thought it was His Majesty... It was the late Emperor sitting on it, it was so frightening!"

Thinking of Zhu Di's style, Zhang Mao shook his head and said, "It's not like, the former emperor was like a thunderbolt, which would hit the top of his head if he was not careful, but now His Majesty is water, seemingly compliant, but... think about the flood. You'll know in time."

Wen Fang was surprised and said: "Are you saying that His Majesty is gaining momentum?"

"right."

Zhang Mao felt that those civil servants might have underestimated Zhu Gaochi, and this underestimation might pay a price.

but……

"Your Majesty is naturally wary and dissatisfied with Wu Xun...this is..."

"Chance?"

"It's not certain, His Majesty can't alienate civil servants after being dissatisfied with Wu Xun, then he will become a loner."

Wen Fang's eyes flickered, hesitantly said: "But those civil servants don't like the two of us either."

Zhang Mao said with a firm gaze: "That needs to be managed. Think about it when we were in the south, didn't our reputation come from management? We just need to use some means."

Wen Fang said dejectedly: "I've been a little restless lately, my heart is chaotic, and I'm a little out of order."

Zhang Mao said sincerely: "You and I come out together, naturally we are in the same spirit, brother Yan Cheng, don't be convinced!"

Wen Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best. It's just...someone wants to test Fang Xing..."

Zhang Mao was shocked, staring and shouting, "Who? Is he crazy?"

Wen Fang said with a smile: "Those scholars are the easiest to incite,

As long as you light a fire, no one can find out who did it, we don't need to take care of it, just watch the fun. "

Zhang Mao shook his head and said, "You all miscalculated Fang Xing. After returning from the Northern Expedition, he seemed calm, but if you think about it, even His Majesty said that he had the deepest affection for the late Emperor, but he didn't cry! He didn't make trouble. ! What is this? This is suppressing. And those fools are lighting a fire at this moment, who will burn?"

...

"Your Majesty is a formidable person!"

Back home, Fang Xing told Xie Jin and Huang Zhong what he had seen and heard in the palace.

"If anyone wants to shake His Highness's position, the empress will let him know what regret is. Even if you don't report it now, you will return it with interest in the future."

Being a mother is strong, the queen's temper is afraid that only Zhu Gaochi can suppress it, others can't think about it!

Xie Jin stroked his beard and said: "Those people are instigating His Majesty's other sons. This is a literati's handwriting. It is first laid out, then slowly triggered, and finally it is a fatal blow."

Huang Zhong smiled and said: "But they underestimated the empress and His Highness. Naturally, the Empress wants to protect His Highness, and His Highness is not Amon under Wu, but he has just been dormant recently. Once His Highness is angered, His Majesty probably wants to protect His Highness." Take the opportunity to make a move."

None of the three present underestimated Zhu Gaochi, because they were clear on the sidelines, while those civil servants were fans of those involved.

Fang Xing got up and said: "Your Majesty will act immediately after assuming the throne. There are so many innovations, it can be seen that he has already made up his mind, let alone right or wrong, but he is so worried, it can be seen that he is also wary of civil servants, and wants to take advantage of this opportunity Take the shot. Well, I’m tired too, so I’ll rest at home for a while, and it’s only right to be with you without worry.”

Xie Jin smiled and said, "You have spoiled Wuyou into lawlessness carefully, and then you will have no place to regret it."

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "My daughter, Fang Xing, can't she be domineering?"

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "When Wuyou grows up, he will naturally be able to run rampant."

After a burst of laughter, Fang Xing went back to the backyard.

...

Because Zhu Di had not been there for a long time, the demand for meat in the palace dropped to almost bottomless.

Chen Xiao finally got a vacation, thinking about his wife and daughter at home, and drove all the way into Beiping City.

As soon as he entered the city, Chen Xiao saw a group of scholars in Confucian shirts gathering, discussing something in a low voice.

Chen Xiao led the horse and squeezed impatiently from the middle.

"Will Ma Su run away? We..."

The scholar who was talking glared at Chen Xiao who came in, and snorted coldly: "Ruolite!"

Chen Xiao was so tanned, if he had followed his previous disposition, he would have rushed over to yell and scold at this moment, and then punched him hard.

But he laughed and said, "I'm sorry! Go now! Go now!"

After leaving the crowd, Chen Xiao bowed his head, then quietly circled around and left the city again.

All the way to Fangjiazhuang, when he was stopped by Fang Er outside the door, Chen Xiao was in a hurry, pointing to his black face and said: "I am Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao who is like brother Dehua, go and report, Forget it, I'll go in by myself."

Fang Er also recognized him at this time, seeing his eagerness, he shouted: "Come and accompany Mr. Chen in!"

Xiaodao came out to catch up and asked, Chen Xiao said while running: "Someone wants to attack Ma Su, quickly call Dehua!"

Although Chen Xiao was working hard outside, she was no longer Wuxia Amon, but no one could run fast with a small knife, and she was thrown away in a blink of an eye.

Fang Xing was teasing Wuyou, and when Xiaodao called someone in to pass the news, he kissed Wuyou, got up and went in, handed Wuyou to Zhang Shuhui, and said, "I'll go out for a while."

Wuyou is very close to Fang Xing now, and after being hugged by Zhang Shuhui, she shouted, "Father, play."

Fang Xing smiled, seeing Xiao Bai smiling happily beside him, he said: "When Dad comes back, I will play with Wuyou."

"Master, come back early."

Fang Xing hasn't slept well recently, he would dream and talk nonsense at night, so both Xiaobai and Zhang Shuhui were worried that his emotions would lose control.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll definitely be back."

When he arrived at the front yard, seeing the swarthy Chen Xiao, Fang Xing smiled and said, "You have worked hard!"

Chen Xiao said anxiously: "Hurry up, brother Dehua, those scholars are going to block Ma Su!"

Fang Xing nodded and said: "It's okay, my bones are rusty, I'm going to do some exercise."

Chen Xiao accompanied him out, while persuading him: "There are a lot of people, hundreds of them, don't mess around!"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "No, I like to persuade people with reasoning."
