Fang Chuning gradually realized that it was either him or Xie Jue. Just because Xie Jue couldn't do it himself didn't mean that his people couldn't do it. He really had misunderstood. But that person deserved it. He bullied others and took advantage of his reputation. He should be taught a lesson. Xie Jue did nothing wrong. Zhou Buyan didn't make a fuss about this matter. Fang Chuning still felt very indifferent and there was no need to be surprised.

"Go and find out how many people have used my reputation to blackmail my neighbors and do evil things over the years, especially the soldiers in Zhongzhou. I heard that person's words and often caused trouble. I am far away from Zhongzhou. , I don’t care about it on weekdays, don’t let others use my reputation to do evil everywhere." Fang Chuning asked Zhou Buyan to investigate.

Zhou Buyan had actually heard some rumors and knew that someone was using Fang Chuning's reputation to do evil, but it was within his control and tolerance, so he didn't take it to heart. These things are normal. Some ordinary people will use their reputation in the military to benefit themselves. As long as it is not excessive, Zhou Buyan will not care about it.

The status of military households is already low. If they use their status to seek benefits, Zhou Buyan will turn a blind eye and not care about these things. If it goes too far, Zhou Buyan will intervene. Now that Fang Chuning has reminded him, Zhou Buyan will take it to heart and will not let these situations go unchecked. He will also deal with them as appropriate, and will deal with them strictly if they violate the law.

After Ying Er took care of the matter, he came to see Xie Jue, feeling very guilty and said, "Master, my subordinate lost his sense of control and caused trouble for the prince."

Xie Jue happened to be making tea, slowly scalding the teacup, and said calmly, "It doesn't matter."

Ying Er breathed a sigh of relief and Xie Jue said, "Fang Chuning should have something to tell Zhou Buyan. You stay in Zhongzhou to help him. The remaining Chen family forces in Zhongzhou still control the throat of Zhongzhou. You can also help Zhou by staying." Don’t say anything, Fang Chuning and I will go to Ningzhou tomorrow, you stay in Zhongzhou and wait for my return."

"The master is going to Ningzhou alone, and will go to the Northern Barbarians later. His subordinates are worried. The emperor specifically ordered his subordinates to stay close to the prince to protect him."

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more!" Xie Jue made the final decision, "It will be more useful for you to stay in Zhongzhou than to follow me."

"Yes!" Ying 2 didn't dare to disobey, hoping in his heart that Ying 1 would come back soon. He had gone to Sangnan, but he hadn't come back yet. He had rushed from Kyoto to Zhongzhou, so why hadn't he come yet?

Was there any delay on the way?

As Xie Jue expected, Chen Gui came to Xie Jue after rumors spread that he and Fang Chuning were bullying others. He followed the steps given by Xie Jue and basically agreed to the conditions put forward by Xie Jue. He was willing to be loyal to the new dynasty and let the whole Chen Gui The whole family cooperated with the implementation of Zhongzhou's new policy. In order to prevent Xie Xun and Xie Jue from killing each other, Chen Gui also proposed a series of plans to consolidate his power. Xie Jue considered the pros and cons and almost all agreed that stabilizing and developing Zhongzhou was an urgent matter. , as long as Xie Xun is the emperor and he is the prince, the matter in Zhongzhou can be solved slowly, there is no need to be quick, right and wrong and the entanglement of interests are all kept in his heart.

Fang Chuning saw everything under his eyes and respected Xie Jue even more. He clearly took him along the way to search for memories, but he did not delay him at all from rectifying the administration and implementing the New Deal. From Yangzhou to Zhongzhou, Xie Jue During the process, the performance of officials after the new dynasty will be investigated. If they are not sincerely loyal, or if they violate the rules, Xie Jue will deal with them strictly. He will kill them first and then report them. Now Zhongzhou is also worried about the political situation, hoping that his brother's throne can be more stable. The Twelve States are now even more chaotic. Xie Xun has sent Ningzhou cavalry to station, so there can be no chaos in Zhongzhou.

The two of them talked about old rules while playing chess in the pavilion in the afternoon.

Xie Jue also patiently explained to Fang Chuning, "After the Northern Barbarians surrendered, we actually did not plan to let Sang Nan surrender in a short time. The reason why we bluffed to ask Sang Nan to return was just to stabilize the Northern Barbarians. In the end, we wanted Sang Nan to return. The good situation is that Sangnan returns peacefully, and King Sangnan and the royal family sincerely surrender and can't afford to fight. This is the best situation. It's just that I made a mistake in judgment, which led to the success of the high priest's conspiracy. The situation in Sangnan got out of control and the people's support was greatly lost. So. First, the Northern Barbarians are undecided, Sangnan is out of control, and riots continue between the north and the south. Zhongzhou must be stabilized, otherwise if Sangnan and the Northern Barbarians raise the flag of rebellion with intention, the consequences will be disastrous. Now the Northern Barbarians are not outside the Ningzhou defense line, but Within the Ningzhou defense line, Zhongzhou is the last line of defense in Kyoto. Zhixu and I have to prepare for the worst. So sending Dugu Jing to Sangnan is killing two birds with one stone. It can stabilize the Northern Barbarians and control them. Chen Gui is I have seen through this move, so the lion can open his mouth, I really need him now."

"Will he be willing to do something against his will?" Fang Chuning stared at the chessboard, thinking about where to play. He always felt that Xie Jue was giving way to him. It was clear that he was going to reach a dead end, but he could be revived inexplicably.

"No, this is a win-win situation. There is no need for him to do anything unnecessary. After the incident with High Priest Sangnan, I need to be 100% 100% efficient in handling these sensitive situations. No mistakes will be made, and no one is allowed!" That carelessness, It brought a fatal blow to him and also brought changes to the entire situation. This was the most chaotic and out-of-control situation since Xie Jue came to power. He would not allow it to happen a second time!

"It's good if he knows what's interesting!" Fang Chuning said lightly, as long as Chen Gui knows what's interesting, this matter will be easy to handle. Those soldiers who use Fang Chuning's reputation to seek benefits are a trivial matter in comparison. Fang Chuning endured it and couldn't help but say, "The emperor has long since matured, has made decisions, and the political situation is clear, so you don't have to worry like this."

Xie Xun was born to be an emperor. It can be seen from leading the army in battles. He can easily make the soldiers surrender and follow him. This is not because he is the young prince of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but because he is born with such personality charm. . The three sons of the Xie family all have such charisma, but Xie Xun is more sharp. Nowadays, the cabinet is full of young officials such as Lin Heli, and the political situation is excellent. Xie Jue can also take a break. He has laid a very solid foundation for Beining.

"A Ning..." Xie Jue looked at him steadily, "Are you feeling sorry for me?"

Fang Chuning propped his head and stared at the chessboard. He seemed not to have heard Xie Jue's words. His eyes fell on the chessboard. The black and white pieces were entangled endlessly. One was strong and the other was weak. We all played two sticks of incense, but we didn't finish the whole game. , Fang Chuning couldn't help but ask, "I've wanted to ask for a long time, have you been giving in to me?"

Although Xie Jue was a little disappointed, he did not force him to respond. His eyes fell on the chessboard and he said with a pun, "This is all my strength."
