I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Fang Xiudao: "I have heard about it."

Wu Mingkong looked at him, frowned, and said, "Huizhou Inspector Zhang Xinyuan and those prefects are all members of the Fang Party. How do you plan to deal with it?"

Fang Xiudao: "I have heard the name of Zhang Xinyuan, but I don't know that he is a member of my party."

Seeing that he did not admit it, Wu Mingkong pouted and said, "As far as I know, this Zhang Xinyuan has given you a lot of money over the years."

Fang Xiu had a calm expression on his face, and wrote lightly: "I have taken the post of prime minister for many years, and most of the officials at all levels in the court were recommended by the ministers before they were able to take up the post.

Because of this, many officials had to rely on the ministers, but it did not mean that they were the followers of the ministers, and the ministers always treated them impartially. "

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong said a little speechlessly: "You mean, if someone gives you money, if you take the money and don't do anything, it's considered fair and honest?"

"of course."

Fang Xiu nodded.

"."

Wu Mingkong said angrily: "You obviously took other people's money!"

Fang Xiudao: "I didn't ask them for it, they delivered it to me."

"You are sophistry!"

Wu Mingkong was even more annoyed, and he said angrily, "Furthermore, according to my strict law, you are corruption!"

Fang Xiudao: "Your Majesty, do you know that according to Daqian's law, what crime should a ruler be guilty of forcing his subjects to stay overnight in the palace?"

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback when he heard this question.

Immediately, he shrunk his head a little guilty, and said in a low voice: "When did I ever force you to stay, it was obviously you who insisted on not leaving."

After finishing speaking, a hint of doubt appeared on his exquisite face, and he asked, "When did the Dagan Law come into being? Why can't I remember?"

Fang Xiu said lightly: "Never, just now I was just talking nonsense."

"."

Wu Mingkong was taken aback again.

"Fang Xiu!"

After all, the little empress couldn't hold back, grabbed Fang Xiu's arm, and cursed angrily: "You dog traitor!"

The two tangled for a while.

Wu Mingkong brought the topic back on track again, and said, "You haven't told me yet, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Fang Xiudao: "The minister has just said it, deal with it fairly!"

Wu Mingkong said: "Aren't you afraid of chilling people's hearts?"

Hearing this, Fang Xiu looked at the little empress, frowned slightly, and asked, "I don't understand what your Majesty means. What does it mean to chill people's hearts? Whose hearts are chilled? Is it the corrupt officials in Huizhou, or the Huizhou people?" The powerful gentry, or the poor people in Huizhou?"

As soon as this word comes out.

For some reason, Wu Mingkong suddenly felt a little nervous, feeling that his question was really inappropriate.

After a few breaths of silence, he said seriously: "You understand what I mean, what I'm talking about is the hearts of Fang Dang."

Fang Xiudao: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. The imperial court has not had any Fang Party from the beginning to the end. All officials are serving His Majesty, the court, and the people. Could it be that before there were no ministers, all officials in the imperial court were called the Imperial Party?"

Wu Mingkong curled his lips when he heard the high-sounding words, and said angrily: "Whether there is a party or not, you know in your heart."

Fang Xiu was silent for a few breaths, and said:
"Your Majesty thinks that Fang Dang is the one who is attached to the ministers, so after turning the deer into a horse, all the officials are subject to the orders of the ministers, from the six ministries to the nine ministers, down to the prefectures and counties.

Even the Jinshi and Juren of Xinke, if they want to be officials, they must depend on their ministers. Does Your Majesty think that all officials are Fang Party? "

Wu Mingkong didn't understand why he said so much, he frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, and asked, "Isn't that so?"

Fang Xiu sighed and replied:
"If all the officials were Fang Party, then there would be no Fang Party, just like before there were no ministers, all officials were attached to the former emperor. Could it be said that all officials at that time were the Imperial Party?
Now that the imperial court is governed by ministers, it is impossible for ministers to safeguard the interests of every official, nor can they protect the interests of everyone!
If Daqian wants to develop and become strong, he must sacrifice some people, suppress some people, and win over some people!
Do things when you should do things, pay dividends when you should pay dividends, be careful when you should be cautious, ministers give them money, they accept it, ministers want their money, and they also receive it, only such people can be regarded as ministers' henchmen .

The rest of the officials, even if they are attached to the minister, cannot be called the minister's followers! "

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong couldn't help but said in his heart: Do you mean that you can only be regarded as your party member if you completely listen to your words?
now.

She really wanted to say: People who can't be attached to you, if they make contributions, it's on your head, if they do something wrong, it has nothing to do with you, right?
Before he could speak, he heard Fang Xiu continue:

"A year ago, I warned all the officials that the court was in troubled times, and they should be cautious in doing things. This year, even Qin Xingyan, who was greedy before, followed the rules of the minister, without any overstepping!

The minister can guarantee that in this year's time, he didn't say that he was not greedy for money, and it was not much worse!

In addition, he used his savings for many years to fill in the vacancies that could be filled. If His Majesty said that he was a partisan of the minister, the minister would gladly accept it!
In the same way, Du Chen'an, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Qian Haonan, Minister of the Ministry of War, can also be said to be partisans of ministers.

However, Zhang Xinyuan, the governor of Huizhou, as the chief official of the frontier, also received Qin Xingyan's letter and clear minister's warning.
After the incident happened, he still didn't want to change his ways, so he burned it with a fire. He was so arrogant that he regarded His Majesty, the court, and his ministers as nothing!
To say that such a person is a partisan of the minister, the minister only feels insulted! "

After listening to Fang Xiu's explanation.

Wu Mingkong fell into a long silence.

After a while, she seemed to understand something, said no more, and asked, "In that case, who do you plan to send to handle this matter?"

Fang Xiudao: "Hai Rui has experience in disaster relief in Qingzhou and is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is most appropriate to entrust this matter to him."

Wu Mingkong nodded and said, "Then let him go."

Finished business.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation returned to silence.

Wu Mingkong and Fang Xiu stared at each other, speechless.

In the end, it was Fang Xiu who broke the silence.

"Why don't you accompany His Majesty back to the couch to rest for a while?"

Wu Mingkong let out a "bah", and said angrily: "I just woke up, and you want to let me go back again! Everyone knows what kind of peace you are in!"

Fang Xiu, who was enlightened, was not ashamed, but rather proud. He raised his brows and asked, "What is Chen An's heart, can your majesty explain a thing or two for me?"

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong was at a loss for words for a moment, but he didn't know how to fight back.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu stepped forward.

Just stepped out.

The little empress subconsciously took a step back, kept a distance from him, blushed and said, "Stay away from me!"

Fang Xiu raised his brows and said, "Hasn't Your Majesty been thinking about your ministers for a long time?"

Wu Mingkong took another step back, and said three words earnestly: "Restraint."

"."

Fang Xiu was speechless.

Wu Mingkong noticed his expression, his pretty face flushed slightly, and he said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I am weak and cannot stand it."

The word "toss" stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it.

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then nodded solemnly, and said, "Since this is the case, I will not make things difficult for Your Majesty."

Wu Mingkong was a little annoyed when he saw that he was obviously smug, but still pretended to be serious.

He waved his hand and said: "Fang Xiang hurried back to the capital from Yongzhou, and he hasn't had time to see his wife yet, I'll give you a chance, go back to the mansion."

Fang Xiu was not pretentious, nodded his head, and replied: "The minister will retire."

After finishing speaking, he stopped staying and turned to leave.

Seeing that he actually left like this, Wu Mingkong was annoyed and somewhat disappointed at the same time, cursing in his heart: Men really don't have a good thing.

As soon as I thought about it, I saw Fang Xiu go and come back, holding a beautiful bouquet in his hand.

"I heard some time ago that the letter I sent to His Majesty was delivered to Li Yaoyue by mistake, and the Clivia that I carefully selected for Your Majesty was never seen by Your Majesty.

Therefore, before returning to Beijing, I traveled to most of Yongzhou, picked 99 of the most brilliant Clivia, and presented them to His Majesty. "

Wu Mingkong looked at the charming and charming Clivia, his peach blossom eyes were full of water, his heart seemed to be filled with something, his brows and eyes were full of joy.

"You still have some conscience."

Wu Mingkong muttered, reached out to take Clivia, and put it on the dragon case beside him.

Actively standing on tiptoe, she approached Fang Xiu.

Just when Fang Xiu thought that the little empress offered to offer a kiss.

The little empress suddenly bit his shoulder lightly, and after leaving a mark, she said: "Go back to the mansion, if you don't go back, that little maid will probably miss you so much that she can't sleep."

"My minister retire."

Fang Xiu bowed and saluted, and was about to turn around and leave.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back, stretched out his arms, hugged the little empress tightly in his arms, looked at her cherry lips, bent his head, and bit her hard.

After a long time, I just let go of the little empress, turned around and left, still saying:

"Your Majesty is waiting for the minister, the minister will come tonight."

"Shameless You!"

Wu Mingkong's pretty face was flushed, looking at his back, he couldn't help cursing.

After three months.

Back to Xiangguo Mansion again.

Except that the green plants in the garden have grown taller, nothing has changed.

As soon as Fang Xiu stepped over the threshold, he saw the concierge old Zhang's eyes widen with disbelief on his face.

He thought he had just gotten up and saw the wrong person, so he couldn't help but rubbed his eyes. After confirming that he was right, his face showed excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, you are finally back! There are hundreds of people in the house!" People, everyone is looking forward to your return!"

Fang Xiu looked at his eyes that were moist with joy, and was slightly moved in his heart.

Have been together for ten years.

These servants of the mansion have true feelings for the master of his mansion.

Seeing him, crying because of excitement is definitely not an affectation.

"Go and tell the people in the house that Truth is back, let them prepare for it, Truth will take a bath."

Fang Xiu waved his hand and ordered.

Hearing this, the gatekeeper hurriedly responded: "Yes! Master, I'll do it now!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly turned and left.

Fang Xiu walked back to his yard.

Before entering the door, I smelled a faint aroma of rouge.

next second.

A soft delicate body crashed into his arms.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow"

Yang Yuhuan hugged Fang Xiu tightly, buried her little head in his arms, and cried.

Just for a moment.

Fang Xiu felt that the clothes on his chest were wet.

now.

Looking at the little girl with pear blossoms and rain, his heart was filled with tenderness, he stretched his arms around her slender waist, and said softly: "The truth has always been thinking of you."

Hear this.

There was a ripple in Yang Yuhuan's heart. He raised his beautiful face and looked at Fang Xiu, with tears in his eyes, and said pitifully, "Master Xiang is lying. The servants and servants have smelled it. Master Xiang is full of the smell of His Majesty's rouge!"

"."

Fang Xiu was speechless for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Yang Yuhuan sobbing and saying firmly:
"Master Xiang can no longer be fooled by Yu Nu, how he treated His Majesty last night, you have to treat Yu Nu tonight!"

"."

Fang Xiu was silent again.

Seeing this, Yang Yuhuan's tears fell like broken raindrops, she couldn't stop falling, her beautiful face, pear blossoms with rain, looked at me and saw you.

"Master Xiang doesn't keep his word. He only tricks his servants to woo woo woo."

"Woooooo, I promised my slave half a year ago. It has been delayed until now."

"."

Fang Xiu was silent for a while, then coaxed softly: "The truth is that I have important matters to attend to, so I have to meet His Majesty and have a long talk with His Majesty all night long."

Hearing this, Yang Yuhuan cried even more sadly and pitifully, and said in a trembling voice: "It's fine if Xiangye doesn't keep his word, and he treats him like a fool!"

At this moment, Fang Xiu was really speechless, so he had no choice but to hug her and stroke her soft hair to show comfort.

After a while.

Yang Yuhuan stopped crying, looked at Fang Xiu with tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Daji can do it, Your Majesty can do it, why can't slaves do it?"

Fang Xiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But noticing Yang Yuhuan's eyes full of grievances, he couldn't help but think that he summoned her, who was well-clothed and well-fed, to a foreign country for no reason.

There was a ripple in my heart, and I said softly: "Although you are not as capable as Daji, nor as noble as your majesty, my love for you is not weaker than Daji and your majesty."

Hearing this, Yang Yuhuan's heart trembled involuntarily, and a blush appeared on her delicate face.

I wanted to say: "With Xiangye's words, Yu Nu will have no regrets even if he dies."

However, after thinking about it, this might be Xiangye's plan to delay the attack, and he swallowed the sentence abruptly without saying anything.

"Since you want to be like Daji, live a while."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Yang Yuhuan firmly say: "Don't live for a while, but tonight!"

Fang Xiu was silent for a while, and decided to tell the truth: "Tonight, the truth and the military affairs of Yongzhou need to enter the palace to discuss with His Majesty in detail."

Yongzhou's military affairs?
Yang Yuhuan obviously didn't believe this set of rhetoric, curled her lips, but said nothing, "Then tomorrow night."

"."

Fang Xiu was silent for a few breaths, and was about to say yes.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the yard.

Then a familiar voice was heard.

"What tomorrow night?"
