Royal Gold Magistrate

In the imperial garden, Emperor Jing kept pacing with the secret report.

The brow is sometimes furrowed and sometimes stretched.

Guo Tianyang looked carefully at Emperor Jing's expression, for fear of missing every bit of information.

After a long time, Emperor Jing put away the secret report, sighed a long time, and said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, Fang Qing was living among the people and became a servant of a merchant."

There was also a strange look in Guo Tianyang's eyes.

This secret report was sent by Dongchang's fans urgently, but because Emperor Jing was very concerned, he didn't read it.

It's so interesting that Fang Zhengyi became a servant...

Emperor Jing continued to sigh: "It's the style of a gentleman. All the princes in the court compare themselves to a gentleman. I see that Fang Qing is truly worthy of the word "gentleman" now that he has practiced himself! I entrusted the prince to him. .”

Hearing Emperor Jing's praise, Guo Tianyang carefully asked with doubts: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Emperor Jing threw the secret report to him with a smile, and said with a smile: "Look for yourself. Fang Qing was a servant in a merchant's house. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would already have resentment. And ask someone to take good care of the Chu family."

"Repaying grievances with virtue, isn't that what a gentleman does?"

Guo Tianyang read the secret report over and over again, and his expression became serious.

I always feel that the wording and terms above are different from the ones that are usually handed up below...but I can't tell where it is different.

The content is reasonable, but why is there no beginning and no end.

"Hiss...Your Majesty, I don't understand this. Since Mr. Fang has arrived in Yuding City, why didn't he go to the government, instead of staying in someone's house?"

This kid might take this opportunity and not want to come back, so he is giving himself a vacation!

Emperor Jing looked at his expression, and seemed a little dissatisfied: "Why are you suspicious? Could it be that the news about your Dongchang is false?"

"The news is so urgent that I can't go into details. When Fang Qing comes back, I'll just ask him personally."

"He's not a fool, and he has his reasons for hiding among the people."

Guo Tianyang pouted secretly: "Yes, Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Jing said: "If you count the days, he will be back soon. What's going on with the prince?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been very happy these few days. He said that he would go out of the city to pick him up in person. Will His Majesty let the slaves stop..."

"No need! The prince is very capable in handling things recently, let him go if he likes to go, and you will go out of the city to welcome him when he comes back."

.......

On the official road, Fang Zhengyi rode his horse and walked unhurriedly, taking a look at the scenery by the way.

Sitting in the carriage is really bumpy, far less comfortable than riding a horse, and by the way, it can exercise a certain part of the muscle.

Xie Xian was walking beside him, and he brought Du Lingfeng who had been in Haiyuan City along behind him.

He glanced back at Du Lingfeng, seeing that there was still some distance between them, he rode his horse and approached Fang Zhengyi, and said in a low voice: "Master, we will enter Beijing in a few days, is the secret report from the East Factory really all right... .”

Fangzheng didn't care at all, with a smile on his face: "What else can I ask, is there a sentence in it that is false?"

"Aren't I a current person in the Chu family? I'm a book boy for someone, and I send little girls to school every day?"

"But master, I'm afraid it's too fake... I can't help thinking about the things inside."

"Oh, there are some things that are inconvenient to say in the letter and I can't explain them clearly. I will explain it to His Majesty in detail when I go back. Don't worry. I said that you are so timid and how to do big things in the future. Go out and live and go back?"

Xie Xian let out a long sigh: "Master, it's not that I'm timid, it's hard to believe when I think about it."

"The prince's rebellion, I thought I could only see it in books, but I didn't expect it to happen to me now. You said that such a big thing, how could the whole court be so ignorant and make such a major mistake?"

Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders, and then said earnestly: "Jinyiwei is established, and the reporters of the newspaper office can be counted as Jinyiwei's informants in the future. You will have more opportunities to contact court affairs in the future. You can't think like ordinary people."

"Think like a commoner?" Xie Xian looked puzzled.

Fang Zhengyi explained: "The so-called court hall has been the court's business since ancient times, far away from the common people."

"The high-ranking officials and dignitaries hid behind the curtain, in a place where power and desire gathered in the world, and where discord abounded, they kept preaching their moral achievements, magnificence and glory. The people lacked information, because they were untrained and had no ability to think, so it was naturally someone else Believe what you say."

"They are outside the curtain, and every action inside the curtain will make them feel unfathomable. The common people only use that little knowledge and imagination to imagine what happened inside."

"In the long run, with the accumulation of distance and the deep sense of distance, the image of the court is omnipotent and majestic. Even if a mistake is made, the people will only think that this is just a clever step in the chess game, and there is another wonderful trick behind it. It's a big game of life and death!"

"But in fact? Not only is the imperial court not extremely wise, but it often makes mistakes. It is not an exaggeration to say that it makes mistakes every day! Every mistake consumes the power of the people. When the power of the people is exhausted, the people realize that the world is already Change your appearance, and start a new game of chess."

"In my opinion, if we want long-term peace and stability, it is better to rule the court by doing nothing, and shorten our hands. It doesn't care about death, it's better to manage itself and give the people a little breathing space."

"To put it bluntly, the court is not just a group of people getting together to find problems, solve problems, and distribute benefits. It is mysterious, but the personnel are more complicated, the problems are bigger, and the benefits are higher. Besides, there is no essence in meeting with the village head. The difference, do you think it can make no mistakes?"

Xie Xian pondered and said: "What the master said is that when I manage more than a hundred people in a foreign business, I feel powerless. If there are thousands of people in the world, the court will also be powerless."

"That's right, not to mention the court, even in Taoyuan County, I'm unable to manage tens of thousands of people. All we can do is follow the law. The essence is the spontaneous law of the people. The yamen make the best use of the situation, that's all. I want to go against the sky If you change your fate and try to fight against human nature, then the people will be the ones who will be unlucky in the end.”

"Many people in the court do not have this self-awareness. Holding a hammer looks like a nail. They hold power in their hands, and they are constantly boasting. They think they can call the wind and rain, but they are really stupid."

As soon as Fangzheng said this, he couldn't help recalling some bad memories, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

At the beginning, he was also blinded by the desire for power, thinking that he was omnipotent, and began to frantically carry out "modernization" transformation in the county.

The result was naturally tragic, and the people were dissatisfied. Fortunately, they woke up in time and changed it.

So many years are considered to be rich experience, except that the infrastructure construction is no longer drastic, and occasionally give some suggestions to the following, leaving some valuable experience and ideas from previous lives to spread among the people.

Or make a small invention locally, and let the people toss and toss the rest as they like, and the law can do whatever they want. Fortunately, the results are not bad.

Seeing a group of merchants appearing in front of him, Fang Zhengyi shouted loudly: "My fellow! How long will it take to arrive in the capital?"

"Two days." The other party roared.

two days?

Fang Zhengyi immediately said to Xie Xian: "I won't sleep these two days, don't call me for dinner."

Xie Xian: "..."
