Chapter 1043 Hearts change
Chapter 1043 People's hearts are easy to change
Bottom line
No one knew where the other party's bottom line was, so they were testing it. But there was no doubt that Fang Jie had absolute initiative. The officials in Chang'an City had no soldiers. Their test was to know how big Fang Jie's actions were. If they were so big that they involved everyone, they could only fight to the death.
The four words "Fish Death" and "Wei Wan Break" have never meant the same as "Baish Death" and "Baish Death" and "Baish Death" have never meant the same meaning. If the fish dies, it is dead. If the net breaks, you can make up for it.
Fang Jie wanted to see if these court officials would unite to resist themselves because of the arrested people. In fact, even if Fang Jie had the intention of killing all the two-faced and three-sword people in Chang'an City, it would be impossible to realize it. If you really kill someone, it would be difficult to go in the future.
It’s right to start a family with the people, but now is not the first time to start.
This is a degree, a degree that is difficult to grasp.
From the people at the bottom to the unity of all forces that can be united, this is a gradual process. Especially now, there are internal and external troubles, there are Mongol Wolves in the west and yellow-haired tigers in the east. If internal conflicts are raised to the point where they have to intensify, it will be useless for the development of the Black Flag Army.
The judge of the officials was just a gimmick to scare the court officials.
After leaving Tai Chi Hall, Fang Jie returned to Changchun Garden. On the top of the carriage, Jie and Dugu Wenxiu, Wu Yidao and others discussed the journey. Sometimes it is much more difficult to manage a place than to win a victory. Especially in Chang'an City, which is the center of the storm.
"Master..."
Dugu Wenxiu glanced at Fang Jie, hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "This time the Xiaoqi School became famous, and no one in the entire Chang'an City will not know the name of the Xiaoqi School, which will be of great benefit to the future governance of the Chang'an City... However, I think, is the power of the Xiaoqi School too heavy? I am not suspicious of others, but I am just worried that if this continues, there will inevitably be a situation in the Xiaoqi School with an impatient situation, just like the Great Inner Guard Department of the year..."
He didn't say much about the following words because he knew Fang Jie's attention to the cavalry school. If he said it too deeply, he would probably arouse Fang Jie's disgust.
"After entering Chang'an City, the Knights School really need to establish their authority. After all, I will leave Chang'an soon. If I want Chang'an to be governed for a long time, there must be a powerful Yamen Town there. People's hearts have always been changing. I am in Chang'an City, and those nobles are obedient. I will no longer be guaranteed to happen. I deliberately let the Knights School's reputation spread, and it is also for the sake of my future when I am not in Chang'an City. But... since you think the Knights School has a little too powerful, I will let them control themselves in the future."
Fang answered.
Dugu Wenxiu nodded and did not continue talking about this topic.
Wu Yidao glanced at Dugu Wenxiu, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The things in his eyes flashed and no one noticed them.
After arriving at Changchun Garden, Dugu Wenxiu said goodbye and went back to sort out the court affairs. Wu Yidao stayed and followed Fang Jie to return to the wooden building beside the Lotus Pool. This wooden building has a name that seems not very auspicious, called Fengyu Tower. And Chang'an City is now a time when the storm is about to come.
"What are the marquis worried about?"
Fang Jie suddenly asked.
Wu Yidao seemed a little lost, and then came back to his senses after hearing Fang Jie's question: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from my lord's eyes. My subordinates just thought about it occasionally... Dugu said that the power of the Xiaoqi School was too heavy, and this was actually not without reason. But what I was worried about was not this, but whether there was any thought behind this."
"thought?"
Fang Jie asked: "What's the point?"
Wu Yidao said as he walked: "This is not something to say. Whether it is Dugu or Chen Xiaoru, they are loyal to the lord. If I say something, it will inevitably become a reputation for sow discord when it is spread. However... my subordinates are still a little uneasy."
He pondered for a while and continued, "The Black Flag Army has made great progress and everything goes well. Since the advancing of the army in Jiangnan, it has only fought two tough battles, one is to take down Liyincang, and the other is to force the Qin River to cross... It has been extremely smooth before and after this. Because of this, people's hearts are inevitably frivolous. Especially after entering Chang'an City, it is undeniable that everyone has the intention of making contributions from the dragon..."
After saying this, he glanced at Fang Jie's face, and saw that Fang Jie had no change and continued: "After entering Chang'an City, many people in the Black Flag Army felt that the great thing had been done and were just waiting for you to be granted by your lord. At this time, there will inevitably be some comparisons... Who will make more contributions than me, who will make more contributions than me, what should I get, what should he get? What if I am not as good as others?"
Fang Jie frowned slightly. He really didn't expect this level.
"Before……"
Wu Yidao hesitated for a moment and said, "The lord asked Yan Zeng to lead his troops to attack Lingmen Pass. Dugu advised the lord that Yan Zeng was a surrendered general and could not be used more. Today, he said that the authority of the Knight School was too heavy and should be reduced..."
Fang Jie nodded: "I have ignored these things. After Dugu followed me, I have always valued him, and he is indeed very talented. Just like your comments about him, he is as talented as a prime minister. But when a person reaches a certain level, he often starts to move around and starts to think about what threatens him. Chen Xiaoru's cavalry school is indeed too powerful, so he checks outside and inside, and directly takes responsibility for me without being controlled by others."
"Once this power arises, people outside the Black Flag Army will naturally be afraid, so why don't people inside the Black Flag Army worry?"
Fang Jie sighed softly: "Dugu is not very good at character, so he won't do anything out of the ordinary. He should use it. If he does this again in the future, I will remind him. As for the Knight School..."
Fang Jie said: "Now it is necessary to have a yamen like the Knight School, which makes people scared, so the power cannot be reduced."
Wu Yidao nodded: "I'm just guessing randomly."
...
...
The Knight School Office
Chen Xiaoru looked at the thick stack of papers on the table and couldn't help but smile: "The lord thought of this method is useful. If one questioned one by one, it would be so easy for those iron-mouthed and steel teeth to surrender. Now other officials are exposing and reporting, and they are clear about everything they have done. No matter how hard they are, these people have no way to do it."
Yi Chong said: "The most important thing is that now the lord easily shifts the conflict. The lord uses the name of avenging the Yang family's royal family to eliminate these officials. The one who reported and exposed these officials was another official. Even if the families behind the officials who were taken down were angry, the one who hated the most was not the lord, but the court officials who were not arrested."
Chen Xiaoru laughed: "Lord is a trick to kill two birds with one stone. He not only won a group of hidden dangers, but also made the rest unable to unite. In addition to the greater hidden dangers, it is wonderful, wonderful!"
Bai Xi, who was sitting on the side, said: "Now the reputation of our Xiaoqi School is even louder than the original ones in the Great Inspectorate. Those big men will feel trembling when they mention the three words Xiaoqi School."
Qianhu Lan Qianshou sat at the farthest place, with a knife to build his nails. His nickname is the Thousand-Faced Thousand-Handed Demon, and he pays the most attention to his face and his hands. He cares more about his face than women, and he is complete with the skin-raising things in famous shops than anyone else. And these hands pay more attention to it, just like protecting a peerless treasure. The nails are always built so neatly and cleanly, and there will never be a trace of dirt in the cracks of the nails.
"It's all good things, but there are also bad things."
He looked at Chen Xiaoru and said, "I grew up in the martial arts academy with my master since I was a child. I have seen too many intrigues between people. Take the students in the martial arts academy for example. I want to fight for the top three and get bloody. Today I will give you a trip, and I will dig a hole for him tomorrow. Especially the top three students, who have some strength to compete with them, and everyone wants to replace them. The reputation of our cavalry school is very famous, but it will also make many people afraid... Just like the top three students, I am afraid that there will be trips and pits."
Chen Xiaoru was silent, then shook his head: "As long as the lord believes in us, we will not be afraid of tripping or pitting. What's more, if we want to use tripping, who else is better than us?"
"You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must be careful of others."
Lan Qianju said: "What's more, what we are doing in the cavalry school is to harm people... Therefore, we must be more careful about people."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cavalry school outside hurried over at the door and said, "Sir, Lord, the lord urgently summons you to Changchun Garden."
Chen Xiaoru hurriedly stood up and said to the others: "You all handle the case and close the case as soon as possible. I will go to Changchun Garden first and listen to the progress when I come back."
He left the Xiaoqi School yamen and headed straight to Changchun Garden.
When we arrived at Fengyu Tower, the sky was already dark. When Chen Xiaoru came in, he found that the food had been set on the table in the room. It was not luxurious enough to be considered a fine decoration. There were two bowls of rice porridge, two pairs of chopsticks, and a few side dishes on the table, only one meat was eaten.
“Sit down and eat together.”
Fang Jie pointed to the stool, then waved his hand to signal all the people who were serving in the room to go out.
Chen Xiaoru sat down on the stool with his body, put his hands on his knees, waiting for Fang Jie to speak.
"Don't pretend to be so reserved."
Fang Jie looked at him and said, "When you are full, I have something to tell you to do."
Chen Xiaoru responded quickly and accompanied Fang Jie to have dinner.
"After coming down from the morning court this morning, I have nothing to do and have to go through the history of the previous dynasty..."
Fang Jie said casually while eating: "I happened to see the part when Da Zheng Jianguo and the new emperor ascended the throne, and I felt quite moved."
If it were others, they would have thought Fang Jie was thinking of becoming an emperor. But Chen Xiaoru had such thoughts, and immediately thought of something else. The reason why he was able to be reused by Fang Jie was because he was meticulous and agile enough. He thought that when Da Zheng had just established his country, his ministers were competing for merit, like a dog biting a dog, and he was particularly embarrassed.
When he thought of this, he had no intention of having a meal. He quickly stood up and lowered his head and said, "Lord, has anyone in the cavalry school made a mistake?"
"without"
Fang Jie shook his head: "But... not now, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. I have been worried about something, and I feel a little uneasy whenever I think about it. I ask you to govern the Xiaoqi School and supervise the people's sentiments. I have given the maximum authority to the Xiaoqi School. This is because I know your character. However, Xiaoqi School supervises others. What if someone makes a mistake in the Xiaoqi School?"
Chen Xiaoru became even more frightened and suddenly remembered what Lan Qianshou said before. His heart was so tight that he even became unstable in his breathing.
"Don't be afraid, I have never doubted anything about you. But there are some things that must be ahead. I'm asking you to have an errand this time."
Fang Jie glanced at Chen Xiaoru: "From tomorrow, you will select the most precise and elite personnel and form another yamen. This yamen is not open. You will arrest and take charge of it yourself. These people are still from the Xiaoqi School, but they have a shameful responsibility... to supervise the Xiaoqi School."
Chen Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a little bloody color was restored to his face.
"Don't worry, lord, I will start doing it immediately."
"The power of the Xiaoqi School is too great, and it is inevitable that someone will be flattering."
Fang Jie said: "When you enter Chang'an City, people's hearts are easy to move. There are many people who want to bribe the Knights School. You are their biggest goal. I can trust you, so I let you do this."
"Here"
