Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 653 A Long Sigh (2)
Cheng Rong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Mr. Dutu, you don't know, these three people become tigers, and everyone talks about money. Sometimes, some people deliberately spread rumors and rumors that can harm people invisibly. The misinterpretation, the key is that Hui En and Yun Niang have used black and white tricks, sent their minions to create conflicts, spread rumors, and do everything possible to vilify us, so it is not surprising that this happens!"

Jug Tu looked at Cheng Rong in surprise, and said worriedly: "Master Cheng, how should we deal with it? Could it be that Hui En and Yun Niang are really going to steal the day?"

Cheng Rong said happily: "Hui En and Yun Niang's strategy is to attack the heart first. I expect that they not only spread vicious rumors, but also intentionally separate our monarch and ministers. Don't worry, we will notice something soon. , but Qutu, what we have to do is to confront each other and stay calm."

"Your Excellency is right. What I said suddenly made Qu Chu feel a lot easier." Qu Tu laughed loudly at Cheng Rong.

"Well, Qutu, we have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and we must keep good military discipline. We must not only raise soldiers, but also consider the people in every way. We must not disturb the people, and we must know that the people are the foundation of the country!" Cheng Rong reminded Qu Tu with a smile. Suddenly.

After more than ten days, the law and order in Shuilongguan and its surrounding areas became better and better. The refugees returned to their hometowns to farm, the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the market flourished.

When I first climbed the city wall of Shuilongguan, I could not help but feel elated when I looked at the prosperous scene. "Your Majesty, this Cheng Rong is really good at buying people's hearts. In a short period of time, he has won unanimous praise from the people. Even the King is going to be dismissed!" At this time, Zhou Ji, who was by Chu Xiu's side, began to speak Spit out the waterway.

"Zhou Ji, Cheng Rong doesn't have military power in his hands. What I'm most worried about is that Dudu. This kid is brave and resourceful. If one day he threatens the Queen Mother and forces me to abdicate, how should I deal with myself?" His brows gradually rippled.

"No! Your Majesty, how can you doubt your loyal subject so much?" Suddenly, there was a voice of rebuttal from behind Chuxiu.

Chu Xiu looked back and saw that it was Bao Si who came slowly accompanied by A Xi, he couldn't help being dumbfounded, and hurried forward to salute and say hello.

Bao Si raised her brows, stared coldly at Zhou Ji, who had a sharp mouth, and said angrily, "Master Zhou, you are the nephew of Marquis Qi, a close minister of the emperor, what right do you have to listen to gossip and viciously attack the ministers of the court? Inappropriate!"

"Don't back down!" the furious Chuxiu scolded Zhou Jidao who was trembling.Zhou Ji was so frightened that he lost his mind, and hurried away with his head in his arms.

Chu Xiu turned his head, bowed deeply to the frowning Bao Si, and immediately apologized: "Mother, it's all because I was negligent and was almost misled by the villain."

"Your Majesty, why do you do this? We are similar in age, so how can I bear this great gift?" Bao Si looked at Chu Xiu angrily, and said modestly.

"Empress Dowager, if you hadn't stepped forward to support me at the critical moment, I wouldn't be where I am today." Chuxiu said with a sincere expression.

Bao Si smiled elegantly at Chuxiu: "Your Majesty, after so many years of grievances and grievances, what everyone wants is not just a word of thanks, but I am worried that the country that has been rebuilt through hard work will be drummed up because of the villain's tongue." It is okay to spread rumors and ruin the court. If the people are displaced again, then we will all become sinners. You must know that the people are the source of the country! To be a king, you must employ people without suspicion and be magnanimous. With righteousness in your body, you don’t have to be afraid of rebellion by powerful ministers! Back then, the first emperor also figured it out step by step.”

Bao Si's words made Chu Xiu nod repeatedly, seeing Chu Xiu's submissive attitude, Bao Si said goodbye to Axi and Chu Xiu, and gradually walked away with Mingyue Huiyue.

Watching Baosi's back, the secretly angry Chuxiu suddenly grabbed Axi's bare hand, and asked quietly: "Axi, what's going on with your little master these days, you always like to teach me a lesson, could it be that I did it?" Something wrong?"

Axi smiled at Chuxiu and said, "Your Majesty, how is that possible? Axi believes that Your Majesty will never doubt Dug Tu and Cheng Rong's right-hand men."
