Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Zhu Gang's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the tangled lines seemed to be engraved deep into his brows.

His heart seemed to be mercilessly burned by a raging fire, and every inch of his thoughts was in torment.

The miserable faces of the orphan and widow of the Fan family are like lingering ghosts.

It lingered in Zhu Gang's mind and could not be driven away, causing endless compassion to well up in his heart.

An irrepressible sense of chivalry surged violently in his chest, like a trapped beast eager to break out of its cage.

Zhu Gang wished he could fly out immediately, like a towering mountain, to protect Fan's mother and son from wind and rain, and do his best to keep them safe.

However, reason was like a cold and hard iron chain, which, with a clang, firmly locked his impulsive steps.

Zhu Gang understood deeply that this matter must be handled with extreme caution.

The slightest mistake would be like stepping into a thorny bush.

Not only will he be stabbed all over and covered in blood, but the entire Prince Jin's Mansion will be dragged into an abyss of no return, into endless darkness and disaster.

"Those assassins are truly as vicious as snakes and scorpions. They are so despicable!"

Zhu Gang gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.

His face was slightly twisted with anger, and his eyes seemed to be burning with rage.

“This matter is of great importance, like a heavy burden weighing on my heart.

The safest strategy is to report this to my father first.

Otherwise, once those people in the Inspectorate get wind of this, there will be a storm in the court, and impeachment statements will be fired like sharp arrows.

At that time, the situation will be out of control and may be difficult to control."

After saying this, Zhu Gang slowly shook his head, his face full of helplessness and worry.

It was as if he had clearly foreseen the impending crisis, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Xie Yuer paced back and forth anxiously in the room. Her steps were hurried and the hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps.

At this time, Xie Yuer's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her face was full of anxiety, like an ant on a hot pan.

After thinking for a moment, she stopped, took light steps, and slowly walked to Zhu Gang's side.

Xie Yuer's beautiful eyes were filled with worry and concern flashing in them.

She said softly, "My husband, you also know that the Fan family is an orphan and a widow, and they are so pitiful that it makes people feel sorry for them.

The assassins were ruthless and merciless, just like jackals, tigers and leopards.

Previously, they had resorted to such a sinister scheme of "killing with a borrowed knife" and killed Jiang Yongming.

Now the Fan mother and son are isolated and unarmed, facing the arrows and attacks that follow them like a shadow, they are really unable to withstand it.

Whenever I think of this, my heart aches.

I really can't bear to watch Fan's mother and son being murdered again and losing their lives in vain."

Zhu Gang nodded slightly, a trace of reluctance appeared on his face, and he sighed softly.

"Alas, I know their miserable situation, how can I not have sympathy in my heart?

But protecting Fan’s mother and son is like walking on a tightrope.

If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces and fall into a place from which there is no return.

If it is not handled properly, not only will it be unable to provide assistance, but it will drag the palace into endless troubles and put the entire palace into crisis.

Moreover, the reform of the college is imminent, and many matters need to be dealt with like a tangled mess.

If we are distracted by this matter and delay the progress of reform, how can we be worthy of those students who are eagerly waiting for change? "

Zhu Gang's eyes revealed deep fatigue and confusion, as if he was unable to breathe due to the pressure of a heavy burden, and he looked a little haggard.

Xie Yuer gently held Zhu Gang's hand, her hand was warm and soft.

Xie Yuer said with a firm and focused look, "My dear, I have been thinking about it day and night these days, racking my brains and trying every possible way.

You have to protect the mother and son of the Fan family, but you also have to avoid being criticized. But after thinking about it, ordinary methods are not feasible.

Those people with ulterior motives were like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, staring at the palace's every move and waiting for an opportunity to strike.

If we are not careful, they will find fault with us and make a big fuss about it, putting us in a passive position.

I think it would be a good idea to secretly arrange some loyal and reliable guards to strengthen the protection of Fan's mother and son so that they can have a little guarantee of safety.

At the same time, find an appropriate time to report this matter to my father and pray for his permission.

Husband, what do you think? "

Zhu Gang's brows were furrowed, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was a gleam of thought in his eyes.

Then he fell into deep thought, with a very conflicted expression on his face.

Zhu Gang's fingers tapped the table unconsciously, making a "da da" sound.

It was as if he was weighing the pros and cons of every word, and every decision affected the fate of many people.

Xie Yuer's eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind.

She lightly moved closer to Zhu Gang, leaned over slightly and whispered in his ear: "My husband, as the saying goes, 'If the name is not right, the words will not flow'.

In my humble opinion, you might as well ask the Emperor to grant you a marriage with Ms. Fan.

Once Fan married into the palace and became a concubine, she would be able to shut up the gossips and avoid unnecessary gossip, leaving those villains speechless.

Secondly, he could legitimately bring her and her children to Shanxi, protect them and give them a stable home.

This way, you can focus on the reform of the academy without having to worry about the safety of Fan's mother and son day and night. It can be said that you have put your mind at ease. "

After saying that, Xie Yuer bit her lips slightly, her eyes full of anticipation.

She stared at Zhu Gang, waiting for his response, feeling very nervous.

However, Zhu Gang's inner conflict became more and more intense at this moment, and his face became gloomy and uncertain.

It is like the sky before a storm, sometimes covered with dark clouds, and sometimes with a hint of light.

On the one hand, Xie Yuer's strategy was indeed a good strategy to protect Fan's mother and son at the moment. It was like lighting a bright lamp in the darkness, giving him a glimmer of hope.

On the other hand, Queen Ma was bedridden and her condition was worrying.

Zhu Gang was afraid that he would be accused of being unfilial and branded as such because of this incident. The worry in his heart was as heavy as a huge rock, making it hard for him to breathe.

But if he didn't do so, Zhu Gang would not be able to legitimately protect Fan's mother and son.

The contradictions in his heart were intertwined like a tangled mess, making him upset and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Fortunately, at dinner time, Xu Miaoyun heard about this and came over.

With calmness and wisdom on her face, she offered Zhu Gang a brilliant plan that would satisfy both parties.

"My husband, do you still remember the time when Sister Shuxiu married into the palace?

At that time, Sister Shuxiu was of humble origin, helpless, and her connection with the palace was easily criticized.

But at that time you explained to your father that if your sister Shuxiu married into the palace, she would be a good wife and helper, and her talents and knowledge would be beneficial to the internal and external affairs of the palace.

Moreover, she has a kind character and can bring peace and harmony to the backyard of the palace.

After careful consideration, my father approved the matter.

What happened to Fan this time is quite similar to what happened to her sister Shuxiu back then.

The Fan family is an orphan and a widow, isolated and helpless, and in a dangerous situation.

If my husband reports to my father that after marrying into the palace, Fan can not only ensure their safety, but also educate their children and cultivate talents for the palace.

At the same time, I will show that you will properly handle this matter without affecting the reform of the academy. I believe that the emperor will understand your painstaking efforts."
