The happy life of a prodigal

At this time, the Emperor Chu on the dragon chair spoke slowly, and said: "I still think what Fang Qing's family said is right, stubborn illnesses require a sharp knife, if hesitant and indecisive, the illness will worsen in the end, sooner or later, It’s going to be out of control.”

"His Majesty!"

Hubu Shangshu was slightly startled when he heard this, then he knelt down deeply and said in an excited tone: "Your Majesty, if the foundation of the country is shaken, what should we do?"

"Ah!"

Fang Xiu snorted coldly, and said: "What shakes the foundation of the country, isn't it because we are worried that those gentry will rebel!?

The minister is Wu Xun, and he is willing to be the first in this reform.

I am willing to lead [-] troops and station in the Central Plains. Anyone, regardless of gentry or honor, who dares to cause chaos, I will definitely order them to be executed! "

"This......"

As soon as these words came out, not only the Minister of the Household Department, but also the other three great scholars couldn't help looking at Fang Xiu.

They understand the meaning of this sentence all too well.

This is to kill the fish and break the net!

Of course, the net may not necessarily break, but the fish will definitely die.

And they are the strongest of these fish.

"Your Majesty, the old minister does not agree with what Xin'anbo said. I, the kings of the Great Chu Dynasty, want to rule the country with benevolence. If I go to war, I'm afraid it will hurt the hearts of the people in the world..."

"Your Majesty, the farmers are your subjects, and the gentry are also your subjects..."

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"..."

All of a sudden, the three cabinet scholars and the Hubu Minister spoke one after another.

Fang Xiu stood behind them, with a very indifferent expression on his face, only indifference in his eyes, and a cold aura in his whole body, like a dead leaf fluttering down in late autumn, without any sound, it was Bring endless silence and chill.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Chu looked at the academicians kneeling together and Fang Xiu standing proudly, and was once again caught in a tangle.

He is a benevolent king.

Even in the face of the old ministers who committed serious crimes, at most they were exiled to the frontiers, and they had never been exterminated, let alone those gentry who did not cause trouble and devoted themselves to defending themselves.

It's not so easy to stop the weapon once it's moved.

However, looking at Fang Xiu, he couldn't say the words of refusal.

Not because Fang Xiu saved his life.

Above the court, it has nothing to do with personal emotions.

It's just because he understands that the famine in the Central Plains is the best opportunity for land tax reform. If this opportunity is missed, it will be almost impossible to move those gentry who are dependent on the fortune and misfortune of the imperial court.

"The adults are free to object, as long as it is for the people of the world, I will bear the eternal infamy!"

At this time, Fang Xiu looked at several old guys kneeling on the ground, and said something coldly.

The meaning of this sentence is very clear, that is to say, these old guys are afraid of being scolded by poking their spines, so they don't care about the life and death of the common people.

To put it bluntly, he himself never thought that one day, he would actually say words like Limin people on his lips.

However, this trip to the Central Plains Road changed him too much.

He has enjoyed too much since he came to this world, and he should leave something good for this world, this era, and the most important simple people on this land.

Hearing Fang Xiu's words, Emperor Chu gradually changed his hesitant expression and became firmer.

yes......

It's nothing more than getting some infamy.

Compared with these tens of thousands of people, what is this reputation?

As a king, is reputation more important than keeping his subjects well fed and warmly clothed?

What exactly do you want?

Thinking of the last question, he already had the answer in his heart.

Seeing this scene, the kneeling ministers felt a 'thump' in their hearts. In an instant, there was only one thought left in their minds.

It's over...

Your Majesty will be bewitched by New Amber!

Chapter 591 Sword Practice

"Ding Yin's malpractice has reached the point where it has to be corrected. I have made up my mind. Uncle Anping will lead the Central Plains Taoist inspector and Jiedu envoy to implement the law of Ding Tian's unity!"

As soon as these words came out, the three cabinet scholars and the Minister of the Household Department showed expressions of concern, and they all fell to the ground and shouted loudly: "Think twice, Your Majesty, think twice, Your Majesty!"

At this time, a completely different voice sounded behind them.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Fang Xiu stood behind the three of them and said solemnly.

Although Emperor Chu agreed to carry out the integration of Ding and Tian, ​​he did not feel happy about it, but instead felt that the burden on him was getting heavier.

Although this matter is not up to him to do it, but letting his cheap father do it is no different from doing it by himself.

The resistance to the promotion of Dingtian integration must be huge, and the dangers faced are no less than those of going south to counter the rebellion.

At the very least, the suppression of the rebellion is something that most people like to hear and expect to happen. In the eyes of these people, Uncle Anping is a hero.

However, even those ordinary people may not be able to understand the promotion of Ding Tian's unity, and the gentry who have the right to speak in this era will regard him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.

Although the actual danger may be a little less than killing the enemy on the battlefield, the pressure from other aspects is not necessarily.

Among other things, as long as the Emperor Chu can't bear the indiscriminate bombardment of the court and compromises like a group of scholar-bureaucrats, then the first target of those scholar-officials must be his cheap father!

With a heavy heart, Fang Xiu walked out of the Nuan Pavilion.

Yan Zhuang and others are still in the Nuan Pavilion, wanting to seek a turnaround.

Fang Xiu stood outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and when he looked up, he could see the bright sunshine shining on his body, bringing some warmth to the harsh winter.

The horrific scenes he saw in Du Ming Mansion, Linze Mansion and other places could not help appearing in his mind, and the original hesitation was swept away.

He knew that he was doing the right thing!

The sun was shining brightly, and it was the right time for an outing. When Fang Xiu returned to Fang Mansion, he prepared to take Zhao Yan and the others to leave the capital city and go out to relax.

However, when they arrived at the Fang Mansion, they found that Zhao Yan and the others, who had heard about the outing and wanted to pack their bags immediately, were not interested at all.

Because they... are practicing swords.

And what's amazing is that Zhao Yan is teaching Fang Ru how to practice swords.

You know, it's extremely rare for these two people to meet without fighting each other. At this moment, they can actually see them getting along in harmony and even helping each other, which makes Fang Xiu feel like he has seen a ghost.

"You... are teaching Fang Ru how to level up?"

Fang Xiu walked up to Zhao Yan, glanced at her, then at Fang Ru who was holding a sword and waving in front of her, and asked a question in surprise.

Zhao Yan heard his voice, looked back at him, nodded indifferently, and said: "This little girl doesn't know how to live or die, and even said that she can beat this girl by practicing swords for a month.

That being the case, this girl will give her a chance to practice swordsmanship for a month. When the time comes, defeat her openly and see what she has to say. "

"..."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he immediately understood what was going on, and felt a little speechless.

He looked at Zhao Yan and asked, "Do you know why tigers never fight mice?"

Zhao Yan was slightly taken aback when she heard this endless question, looked at him puzzled, thought for a while, and replied, "Because... there is too little mouse meat?"

"Because if you win, others don't think there's anything wrong with it, they just think it's human nature, but if you lose, others will say that a majestic tiger can't even beat a mouse..."

Fang Xiu sighed and said slowly.

When Zhao Yan heard this, she had a thoughtful expression on her face.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu patted her on the shoulder and said helplessly, "Think about it carefully."

"I understand!"

Before Fang Xiu's words fell, Zhao Yan showed a look of surprise.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu glanced at her.

This girl is not beyond hopelessness...

Just thinking about it, Zhao Yan said angrily in the next second, "You're calling me a tigress!"

"..."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was too lazy to bother her, waved his hand, and said, "You can continue to teach her.

I believe in you, I can beat her..."

"Of course!"

Zhao Yan didn't realize the crux of the problem yet, so she responded proudly, then looked at Fang Ru, and said loudly: "What did I tell you just now, you have to bow down and keep your center of gravity low, so that when the enemy attacks, you will not be able to attack?" Plenty of time to react!

Do you think that practicing swordsmanship is like in the storybook, where swords, swords and shadows, swish, swish, and people disappear? "

When Fang Ru heard this, she surprisingly didn't refute. She just said "I understand", and then continued to practice swords according to her instructions.

It has to be said that Fang Ru still has a certain talent in the way of swordsmanship.

In just one morning, he has already practiced well.

Now, Fang Xiu somewhat believes that his cheap father will accept her as a foster daughter.

There are two reasons.

First point, Fang Ru is shameless...

It's not the usual shameless, but very shameless. When she meets her cheap father, she is very likely to pester him to be his adopted daughter.

The second point is her martial arts talent.

Maybe, my cheap father wanted to train her to be a female general?

Not necessarily without this possibility.

Things in the palace have been dealt with almost.

Ding Tianheyi, so far, the only people in the imperial court who know about it are him and those few cabinet scholars. For a while, there can't be any troubles.

It was rare for Fang Xiu to have some free time, so he sat here and watched Fang Ru practicing sword, and found it quite interesting.

A little girl was holding a dagger in her hand, and she was waving it as if she was dancing lightly.

Especially under the sunny blue sky, with a few dead trees, it is more like a painting.

"Okay, that's all for today, you can rest..."

Zhao Yan also found the feeling of being a master, and when she spoke, she was quite so fanciful...

Fang Ru heard Zhao Yan's words, but she didn't stop, and continued to wave the dagger in her hand.

Even though her hair was wet with sweat, there was no pause.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, then, with a serious look on her face, she said solemnly: "The practice of martial arts needs to be done step by step.

I know you want to beat this girl in a month.

But...to tell you the truth, that is simply impossible.

Of course, with your talent, if you practice for two or three years, it is possible to have two tricks with this girl.

If you practice without rest, you will waste your talent in the end.

Among other things, if you don't stop, this girl promises that tomorrow you won't even be able to lift your own arm! "

Chapter 592 Power and Power

"Is it such an exaggeration?"

Although Fang Ru said so, she still put down the sword in her hand, took a breath, sat beside Zhao Yan, and asked, "Hey, how many years have you practiced martial arts?"
