No one knows where the other side's bottom line is, so they are testing. But there is no doubt that Fang Xie is taking the absolute initiative. These officials in Chang'an City have no soldiers in their hands. Their temptation is to know how big Fang Xie's action is. If it is big enough to involve everyone, they can only fight to kill the fish and catch the net.
The four words "fish die, net break" and "both lose" have never meant the same thing. Fish die is dead, and net break can make up for it.
Fang Xie wanted to see if these courtiers would unite against themselves because of those arrested. In fact, even if Fang Xie has the intention to kill all these two faced people in Chang'an City, it is impossible to achieve it. If he really kills people, it will be really difficult in the future.
It's right to start from the people, but now is not the time to start.
This is a degree, a degree that is difficult to grasp.
It is a gradual process from the unity of the people at the bottom to the unity of all forces that can be united. Especially now that there are internal and external troubles, there are Mongolian Yuan wolves in the West and yellow haired tigers in the East. If we pick the internal contradictions to the point where they have to be intensified at this time, it will be of no use to the development of the black flag army.
The judge was just a gimmick that Fang Xie took out to scare the courtiers.
Coming out of the Tai Chi hall, Fang Xie is on his way back to Changchun Garden. In the carriage, Fang Xie and Dugu Wenxiu, Wu Yidao and others discussed the way again. Sometimes governing a place is much more difficult than winning the next battle. Especially Chang'an City, which is the center of the storm.
"Lord..."
Dugu Wenxiu glanced at Fang Xie, hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Xiaoqi school is famous this time, and no one in Chang'an city will not know the name of Xiaoqi school, which will be of great benefit to the governance of Chang'an City in the future... However, my subordinates feel that Xiaoqi school has too much power? My subordinates don't doubt others, but worry that if it is the same in the past, there will inevitably be a rash situation in Xiaoqi school, just like that in those years Inside the bodyguard's Office...... "
He didn't say much next, because he knew that Fang Xie attached importance to Xiaoqi school. If he said it too deeply, he was afraid it would provoke Fang Xie's disgust.
"Before entering Chang'an City, Xiaoqi school really needs prestige. After all, I will leave Chang'an soon. If I want long-term governance of Chang'an, there must be a powerful yamen town there. People's hearts are always changeable. When I am in Chang'an City, those dignitaries are obedient. I won't do anything again. I deliberately let Xiaoqi school's fierce reputation spread, which is also for the sake of Later, I didn't think about it when I was in Chang'an city. However... Since you think Xiaoqi school is too powerful, I'll let them control it in the future. "
Fang Xie answered.
Dugu Wenxiu nodded and didn't go on with the topic.
Wu Yi glanced at Dugu Wenxiu, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The things in his eyes flashed away, and no one noticed.
After arriving at Changchun Garden, Dugu Wenxiu left and went back to tidy up the affairs of the dynasty, while Wu Yidao stayed and followed Fang Xie back to the wooden building by the lotus pond. This wooden building has a seemingly unlucky name, which is called wind and rain building. Now, Chang'an city is ready for wind and rain.
"What are you worried about?"
Fang Xie suddenly asked.
Wu Yidao seemed to be a little distracted. After hearing Fang Xie's question, he came back to his mind: "sure enough, I still can't hide the Lord's eyes. My subordinates just think occasionally... Dugu said that Xiaoqi school is too powerful. In fact, this is reasonable. But my subordinates are not worried about this, but whether there is any thought behind this."
"Mind?"
Fang Xie asked, "what's your mind?"
As Wu Yidao walked along, he said, "it's inappropriate to say this. Whether it's Dugu or Chen Xiaoru, they are loyal to the Lord. If I say something, I will inevitably get a reputation of provoking discord. However... My subordinates are still a little uneasy."
After pondering for a while, he continued: "The black flag army has made great progress. Everything has been going well. Since entering the south of the Yangtze River, it has only fought two tough battles, one is to win Li yincang, the other is to forcibly cross the Qinhe River... Before and after that, it is extremely smooth. Because of this, people are inevitably frivolous. Especially after entering Chang'an City, it is undeniable that everyone has a desire to make contributions from the Dragon..."
After saying this, he looked at Fang Xie's face, saw that Fang Xie had no change, and continued: "After entering Chang'an City, many people in the black flag army feel that the great event has been completed and just wait for you to be granted. At this time, it is inevitable that there will be some comparison... Who deserves more credit than me? What reward should I get and what reward should he get? What should I do if I am inferior to others?"
Fang Xie frowned slightly. He really didn't think of this layer.
"Before..."
After hesitating for a while, Wu Yidao said: "your Lord asked Yan Zeng to lead his troops to attack lingmen pass. Dugu said to your Lord that Yan Zeng is a surrender general and can't be reused. Today, he said that Xiaoqi school has too much power and should be reduced..."
Fang Xie nodded: "I have ignored these. Since Dugu followed me, I have always valued him very much, and he is really talented. Just as you commented on him at the beginning, he has the talent of prime minister. However, when people reach a certain height, they often start to think about what threatens them. Chen Xiaoru's Xiaoqi school is really too powerful, so they can check outside and inside, and keep it straight Then I am responsible for not being controlled by others. "
"Once this power rises, people outside the black flag army naturally fear, and people inside the black flag army don't worry?"
Fang Xie sighed: "Dugu's temperament is good and he won't do anything special. He should still use it. If he does this again in the future, I'll just remind him. As for Xiaoqi school..."
Fang Xie said, "it's frightening to need such a yamen as Xiaoqi school, so power can't be reduced."
Wu Yidao nodded: "I'm just guessing."

Xiaoqi school Yamen
Chen Xiaoru looked at the thick pile of paper on the table and couldn't help laughing: "Lord, this method works. If they are interrogated next to each other, it's so easy for those with iron teeth to obey. Now it's other officials who expose and report. It's clear when and what they have done, but they can't do anything even if their mouths are hard."
Yi Chong said, "the most important thing is that now the Lord has easily transferred the contradiction. The Lord has removed these officials in the name of revenge for the people of the Yang family. It is other officials who report and expose these officials. The families behind the captured officials are resentful. I'm afraid they don't hate the Lord, but the courtiers who haven't been arrested."
Chen Xiaoru laughed: "Lord, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. It not only won a number of hidden dangers, but also made the rest of the people unable to unite. In addition to greater hidden dangers, wonderful, wonderful!"
Bai Xi, a thousand households sitting on one side, said, "now the reputation of our Xiaoqi school is louder than that of the original Imperial Guard. Those big people will tremble when they mention the word Xiaoqi school."
Qianhu blue Qianshou sat in the farthest distance, with a knife to build his nails. His nickname is called thousand face and thousand hand devil. What he attaches most importance to is his face and hands. He cares more about his face than women. He has more skin care things in famous shops than anyone else. And these hands pay more attention, just like protecting a peerless treasure. Nails are always built so neat and clean that there will never be a trace of dirt between nails.
"These are good things, but there are bad things."
He looked at Chen Xiaoru and said: "I grew up in the martial arts academy with my master when I was young. I have seen too many intrigues among people. Take those students in the martial arts academy who want to compete for the first three. I'll give you a stumbling block today and dig a hole for him tomorrow. Especially the first three students, who have some strength to compete with them, want to replace them. Our Xiaoqi school has a great reputation But it will also make many people afraid... Just like the top three students, I'm afraid there are obstacles and pits. "
Chen Xiaoru was silent, then shook his head: "as long as the Lord believes in us, the stumbling block is not afraid, and the pit is not afraid. What's more, if you want to dig a pit with a stumbling block, who is better than us?"
"You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent others."
LAN Qianshou said, "what's more, what our Xiaoqi school does is harm people... So we must have a heart to prevent people."
After he had finished speaking, a Xiaoqi school hurried over and said at the door, "Lord Dutong, the Lord urgently calls you to Changchun Garden."
Chen Xiaoru quickly got up and said to the others, "take care of the case and close the case as soon as possible. I'll go to changchunyuan first and listen to the progress when I come back."
He left Xiaoqi school Yamen and went straight to Changchun Garden.
When he arrived at the storm building, it was already dark. When Chen Xiaoru came in, he found that the food had been arranged on the table in the room. It was not extravagant or hardcover. There were two bowls of Japonica rice porridge and two pairs of chopsticks. There were several small dishes on the table, only one meat.
"Sit down and eat together."
Fang Xie pointed to the stool, then waved his hand to all the people waiting in the room to go out.
Chen Xiaoru leaned down on the stool, put his hand on his knee and waited for Fang Xie to speak.
"Don't pretend to be so formal."
Fang Xie looked at him and said, "when you are full, I have something else to tell you to do."
Chen Xiaoru quickly answered and accompanied Fang Xie to dinner.
"After coming down this morning, I have nothing to do and turn over the history books of the previous dynasty..."
Fang Xie said carelessly while eating: "I happened to see the period when big Zheng Jianguo and the new emperor ascended the throne."
Anyone else must think that Fang Xie was thinking about being an emperor. However, Chen Xiaoru's mind immediately thought of other places. The reason why he was able to be reused by Fang Xie to run the Xiaoqi school was because he was careful and flexible. He thought that when Da Zheng just established the country, the officials fought for merit like a dog biting a dog.
At the thought of this, he didn't want to eat. He quickly stood up and hung his head and said, "Sir, is there anyone wrong in Xiaoqi school?"
"No"
Fang Xie shook his head: "but... Not now, it doesn't mean not in the future. I've been worried about one thing, and I'm always restless when I think of it. I asked you to govern Xiaoqi school and monitor the situation of all officials and people. I've given the maximum authority to Xiaoqi school, because I know your character. However, Xiaoqi school monitors others. What if someone in Xiaoqi school makes a mistake?"
Chen Xiaoru became more frightened and suddenly remembered what LAN Qianshou had said before. His heart was so tight that his breathing became unstable.
"Don't be afraid. I have no doubt about you. But there are some things that must be thought of in front. I'm calling you this time to let you have a job."
Fang Xie glanced at Chen Xiaoru: "from tomorrow on, you choose the most detailed and elite people to form another Yamen. This yamen is not obvious. You catch and manage it yourself. These people are still the people of Xiaoqi school, but they have an invisible duty... To supervise Xiaoqi school."
Chen Xiaoru was relieved, and his face also recovered some blood color.
"Lord, don't worry. My subordinates will do it immediately."
"Xiaoqi school is too powerful. It is inevitable that someone will curry favor with it."
Fang Xie said, "after entering Chang'an City, people are easy to move. There are many people who want to buy Xiaoqi school. You are their biggest goal. I can trust you, so let you do it."
"Here"
Chen Xiaoru nodded heavily: "subordinates understand!"
