Romance Chinese Network

Yuan Mi was waiting, he was waiting for Fang Xing's greeting or visit.

Xu Lian and Guo Jin were also waiting, they were waiting for Fang Xing's teacher to question him, and then use Chen Xiao's 'fault' as a prevarication.

But Fang Xing remained silent, as if he didn't take it seriously.

Zhu Gaochi in the palace waved his hand, and the whole family of those arrested officials was on the road. They will go to the new territory of Ming Dynasty and contribute to the expansion of Ming Dynasty.

This is a Hong Xi Dynasty who has inherited the aggressive attitude towards the outside world. From the time he ascended the throne to the present, countless struggles have been going on in secret, and various ideas are colliding.

From the emperor's compromise that made the officials cheer, to Li Shimian's illness and Zhu Gaochi as the starting point, and Fang Xing's return as the starting point, the atmosphere of the Hongxi Dynasty changed.

The emperor is no longer benevolent - he has arrested so many officials in one breath, he is almost becoming a tyrant.

The courtiers were silent, unable to see the appearance of "zhengchens" like Li Shimian.

Those literati wanted to make a fuss, but Sun Xiang from the East Factory became ruthless, and spread out all the fans, looking for news everywhere, and once he found someone who was connected, he immediately took them down.

And Jin Yiwei, who had been silent for a long time, also dispatched, and the ominous reputation of children crying at night once again resounded throughout the capital.

The literati were afraid, so in private discussions, Li Shimian, who was originally a "true minister", was also complained behind his back as "not knowing the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth".

And Zhu Gaochi seemed to have realized everything.

"A king without authority is a puppet!"

Zhu Gaochi said this unabashedly at the court meeting, and with these words, the officials bowed their heads.

...

"It's only temporary."

Xie Jin warned: "Don't think that your majesty will be able to suppress the officials from now on. If this is the case, you will be unlucky. Tudou and the others will probably have to go to Myanmar or Jiaozhi in the future."

The struggle for power has never been a dinner party, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit.

This is a study room, the door is not closed, although it is a bit cold, but the breath of spring is spreading in unobstructed, which refreshes people's spirits.

Fang Xing's complexion was a little pale, and the small cut on his face that had been frozen had already been scarred, leaving some scars.

He took a sip of hot tea and said slowly: "I know, this is just a matter of one breath. Your Majesty is not the first emperor. He can't last long, and the ministers just use dormancy and temporary obedience to assure him that they will do it in the future." Make a change, so His Majesty should accept it after the meeting. Otherwise, the secret war between the monarch and his ministers will start again...but..."

Fang Xing said confidently: "Mr. Xie, don't worry, I said that even in the worst situation, I can protect everyone from fleeing, and with His Highness here, everything is possible. But this is just the worst plan. "

What's the worst?

Xie Jin raised his glass silently, drank it down like drinking wine, and then said: "It is rare for the Ming Dynasty to win the country through the ages. I believe that no one dares to conspire!"

Fang Xing smiled strangely, and said, "I also believe that no one would dare to conspire."

In the case of conspiring against the Great Ming, according to the current situation, no one has such prestige.

But once again Jing Nan...

"Your Majesty is wary of the vassal king, and it is estimated that he will start to solve the problem of the vassal king in the future."

After the conversation that night, although Zhu Gaochi did not express his position, Fang Xing believed that he had made up his mind and would not leave Zhu Zhanji with any problems.

Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, every generation of emperors in the Ming Dynasty liked to leave some legacy for their descendants no matter what they said.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed many civil and military officials who would pose a threat to Zhu Yunqi, while Zhu Di wiped out foreign enemies. As for Zhu Gaochi, his original idea should be to leave Zhu Zhanji a Ming Dynasty with a full treasury.

"Don't think about it."

Xie Jin stood up and said, "As long as His Highness is safe, everything can be restored."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "Yes, His Highness is here, and the legal system is here. No one dares to ignore this legal system."

This is the benefit of millennium inheritance: the name is justified!

"Master, Yang Rong is here."

...

Yang Rong smiled,

Seeing Fang Xing greeted him outside the study, he waved, very cordially.

"Master Yang is a rare visitor, please come in."

The two entered the study room, Yang Rong looked at the layout of the study room with a smile, and said, "Thanks to the Jubao Mountain Guard for the inspection last time, otherwise the old man would not be able to come back that time."

Fang Xing didn't take the credit: "This matter is what His Majesty attaches great importance to Lord Yang."

Yang Rong said with an unchanged smile: "Dehua, the old man's wish is only Ming Yongchang."

"Me too." Fang Xing returned the same answer.

The two looked at each other, and Yang Rong said: "The old man wants to help His Majesty create a prosperous world, and this heart will not change, and I will not regret it."

"Me too!"

Yang Rong called himself an old man, so he didn't come to talk to Fang Xing because of his official position, so Fang Xing was not polite.

"The old man knows that His Majesty is a little disappointed, and the old man is also disappointed..."

Yang Rong said with a dark complexion: "Your Majesty has changed his mind a little bit. This is where the conflict with everyone lies, but the old man is also wrong, and he shouldn't just sit and watch the ministers secretly... It is the old man's fault that this matter is the old man's fault, and it will be resolved later." Enter the palace to plead guilty."

Fang Xing pointed to the teacup, and then listened quietly.

Yang Rong will not play tricks in front of him, otherwise his counterattack will let Yang Rong know what regret is.

"Don't be afraid of disputes in state affairs."

Yang Rong put emphasis on the word state affairs, Fang Xing smiled and said, "Science is science, and state affairs are state affairs. Fang will not confuse this point."

He didn't want to tie science and Shangguan's will together. Although the promotion went smoothly, it would inevitably lead to another science that was tightly attached to power.

Yang Rong relaxed his body, and said: "Controversial state affairs can be discussed. I have checked Li Shimian's matter, and there is no behind-the-scenes instigation."

"No one dares to instruct."

Fang Xing's eyebrows became a bit more serious, and he said, "Whoever dares to instigate, then he'd better pray that he can succeed in rebelling, otherwise the crown prince will make him regret living in this world!"

Yang Rong nodded, agreeing with this statement, and then said: "The rumors outside the old man have already said that whoever belongs to you is the one who cleans up. If you can't clean up, then let you Xinghe Bolai."

Fang Xinghan said in a cold voice: "Using Your Majesty to spread rumors, and even mentioned the late emperor's filial piety, Master Yang, haven't you noticed that Fang's servants have decreased a lot?"

Yang Rong smiled wryly and said: "This matter is random, I wish I could catch that man and cut him to pieces!"

Talking about Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, this Yang Rong couldn't bear it.

"The old man will suppress it for a while, but you know, people's hearts are different, and there will inevitably be times when the old man can't control it, but your majesty... Forget it, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are like poisonous snakes, they retracted after taking a bite , the old man knows what His Majesty means, so he will naturally comfort them."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "To help each other, seek common ground while reserving differences, this is the act of seeking the country. The late emperor left, and you couldn't wait to suppress the warriors. After being counterattacked, you will not change your mind and continue to put pressure on His Majesty. Master Yang, what is this?"

Yang Rong smiled wryly, "You know, this is a force, a force that coincides with each other. The old man can't help himself in that position. If he doesn't want to be isolated, he can't do much."

Fang Xing nodded and admitted the statement: "It's actually a struggle for power. You don't believe in kings, so what you want to see the most is that the king is a Bodhisattva, sitting high all day, except for some etiquette, and a clay sculpture Just like the Bodhisattvas, such kings are your favorite."

Yang Rong's face turned livid, and soon turned into embarrassment.

What is an assistant king?

Li Shimin has to be tied hands and feet by the aristocratic family, let alone Li Zhi.

But Li Zhi also broke out and killed his own uncle.

So assistance itself is a false proposition, it's just forbearance in a state of unwillingness.

Fang Xing said: "But countless pasts have proved that you can't do it, because you will fight among yourself, and then fight happily, treating the huge country as your pawn."

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the authority of the king declined, and then a power vacuum emerged. From the fight for those positions at the beginning, to the fact that large and small forces fought together for this in the later period, Zhejiang, Qi, and Chu... In the end, the Donglin Party unified the court. Unfortunately, what they got in exchange was not to revive Daming, but to revive Daming. into the sinking.
