    Chapter 1043: People¡¯s hearts are fickle. Bottom line. No one knows where the other person¡¯s bottom line is, so they are all testing.  But there is no doubt that Fang Jie has the absolute initiative. These officials in Chang'an City have no soldiers. They are testing Fang Jie to find out how big Fang Jie's actions are. If they are big enough to involve everyone,  Then they can only fight to the death.  The four words "a fish dies and a net breaks" have never the same meaning as losing both sides. If a fish dies, it is dead, and if the net breaks, it can be mended again.  And Fang Jie wanted to see if these courtiers would unite to resist him because of the people who were arrested.  In fact, even if Fang Jie had the intention to kill all these duplicitous people in Chang'an City, it would be impossible to realize it. If he really killed them all, it would be really difficult to move forward in the future.  It¡¯s true to start a business by relying on the common people, but now is no longer the time to start.  This is a degree, a degree that is difficult to grasp.  From uniting the people at the bottom to uniting all forces that can be united, this is a step-by-step process.  Especially now that there are internal and external troubles, there are Mongolian wolves in the west and yellow-haired tigers in the east. If internal conflicts are provoked to the point of intensification at this time, it will be of no use to the development of the Black Flag Army.  The official interrogation was just a gimmick that Fang Jie used to scare the courtiers.  After coming out of Taiji Hall, we are on our way back to Changchun Garden.  On the carriage, Xie and Dugu Wenxiu, Wu Yiyi and others discussed the journey again.  Sometimes governing a place is more difficult than winning a battle.  Especially Chang'an City, which is the center of the storm.  "Lord" Dugu Wenxiu glanced at Fang Jie, hesitated for a moment and then said tentatively: "This time the Xiaoqiu School has become famous, there will no longer be anyone in the entire Chang'an City who does not know the name of the Xiaoqiu School. It will be very important for the future governance of Chang'an City.  It is said to be of great benefit However, I feel that the power of the Xiao Riding School is too heavy. I am not doubting anything else, but I am worried that if things go on like this, there will inevitably be an impetuous situation in the Xiao Riding School.  It's like the Ouchi Guards Department back then" He didn't say much next, because he knew that Fang Jie valued the Xiao Riding School, and if he spoke too deeply, he might arouse Fang Jie's resentment.  "I have just entered Chang'an City. The Knight Riding School really needs to establish its prestige. After all, I will leave Chang'an soon. If I want Chang'an to be stable for a long time, there must be a strong Yamen town there. People's hearts are always fickle. When I am in Chang'an City, those dignitaries  Just be obedient. If I don't, there's no guarantee that I won't cause any trouble again. I deliberately let the reputation of Xiao Riding School spread out for the sake of the future when I'm not in Chang'an City. Butsince you think so.  The Knight Riding School's power is too great, I'll just ask them to exercise some restraint in the future," Fang Jie replied.  Dugu Wenxiu nodded and did not continue talking about this topic.  Wu Yiyi glanced at Dugu Wenxiu, with a trace of worry in his eyes.  The thing in his eyes flickered, and no one noticed it.  After arriving at Changchun Garden, Dugu Wenxiu said goodbye and went back to sort out the court affairs, while Wu Yiyi stayed behind and followed Fang Jie back to the wooden building beside the lotus pond.  This wooden building has a seemingly unlucky name, called Fengyu Building.  As for Chang'an City, it is now a time when a storm is about to come.  "What are you worried about, Mr. Hou?" Fang Jie suddenly asked.  Wu Daodao seemed to be a little absent-minded. He came back to his senses after listening to Fang's explanation: "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from my lord's eyes. This subordinate just had an occasional thought Before, Dugu said that the Xiao Riding School has too much power. This is actually true.  That makes sense. But what I¡¯m worried about is not the words, but the thoughts behind them.¡±  Both Dugu and Chen Xiaoru are loyal to the Lord. If I say something, it will inevitably be known as a source of discord. However my subordinates still feel a little uneasy." He continued after pondering for a while.  : "The Black Flag Army is progressing so smoothly, everything is going smoothly. Since entering the south of the Yangtze River, it has only fought two relatively tough battles. One was to capture Liyincang, and the other was to forcefully cross the Qin River everything before and after this  It's so smooth. Because of this, people's hearts are inevitably frivolous, especially after entering Chang'an City. It is undeniable that everyone has a desire to serve the dragon" After saying this, he glanced at Fang Jie's face.  , seeing that there was no change, Fang Jie continued: "After entering Chang'an City, many people in the Black Flag Army felt that the big thing was done, and they were just waiting for you, my lord, to entrust you with the enfeoffment. And at this time, it is inevitable that there will be comparisons I  Who has more merit than me? What reward should I get? What reward should he get? What if I am not as good as others? " Fang Jie frowned slightly.?I really didn't expect this level.  "Before" Wu Yiyi hesitated for a moment and then said: "The master asked Yan Zeng to lead his troops to attack Lingmen Pass. Dugu told the master that Yan Zeng was a reduced general and could not be reused. Today, he said that the Xiaoqi School has too much power and should be reduced.  " Fang Jie nodded: "I have ignored this. I have always used Dugu Zi highly since he followed me, and he is indeed very talented. Just as you said about him at the beginning, he has the talent of a prime minister.  But when people reach a certain height, they often start to think about what threatens them. Chen Xiaoru's Riding School is indeed too powerful. It investigates externally and internally, and it is directly responsible to me and not controlled by others. " "  Once this power rises, people outside the Black Flag Army will naturally be afraid, so why aren¡¯t the people inside the Black Flag Army worried? " Fang Jie sighed softly: "Dugu's temperament is not bad, and he won't do anything outrageous.  You still have to use it. If he does something like this again in the future, I will just remind him. As for the Xiaoqiu School" Fang Jie said: "Now we need an yamen like the Xiaoqiu School to make people afraid, so the power cannot be reduced.  " Wu Yiyi nodded: "I'm just making random guesses. "   Xiao Riding School Yamen Chen Xiaoru looked at the thick pile of paper on the table and couldn't help but smile: "My Lord came up with this idea.  It just works. If they were interrogated one by one, those tough-talking people would not be able to give in easily. Now it is other officials who are exposing and reporting, and it is very clear what they have done. No matter how tough these people are, there is nothing they can do. "  Yi Chong said: "The most important thing is that now the lord has easily deflected the conflict. The lord used the name of revenge for the Yang family royal family to get rid of these officials. And the one who reported and exposed these officials was someone else.  Officials. Even if the families behind the captured officials are resentful, the ones they hate most are not the lord, but the court officials who were not arrested. " Chen Xiaoru laughed: "My lord, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone.  After taking down a number of hidden dangers, the remaining people were unable to unite, except for the bigger hidden dangers, wonderful, wonderful!" Qianhu Baixi, who was sitting on the side, said: "Now the reputation of our Xiaoqiu Riding School is greater than before.  The ones at the inner guard's office are even louder. Those big shots will tremble when they mention the word "Xiao Riding School."  His nickname is the Thousand Faces and Thousand Hands Demon, and what he pays most attention to is his face and hands.  He cares more about his face than women, and he has the most complete range of skin care products from famous shops than anyone else.  And these hands are more attentive, protecting it like a peerless treasure.  The nails are always trimmed neatly and cleanly, and there is absolutely no trace of dirt between the nails.  "These are all good things, but there are also bad things." He looked at Chen Xiaoru and said, "I grew up with my master in the martial arts academy. I saw too many intrigues between people. Take the things in the martial arts academy.  For a student, if you want to compete in the top three, I'll put you in trouble today, and I'll dig a hole for you tomorrow. Especially the students in the top three, who has the ability to compete with them.  Everyone wants to replace them. The reputation of our Knight Riding School has become famous, but it will also make many people fear Just like the top three students, I am afraid that there will be snags and traps. " Chen Xiaoru was silent, and then shook his head: "  As long as the Lord trusts us, we are not afraid of traps or pits. What¡¯s more, if you want to use traps to dig holes, who is better than us? " "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. " Lan  Qian Hand said: "What's more, what our Riding School does is to harm people Therefore, it is even more important to be on guard against others." After he finished speaking, a Riding School from outside hurried over to the door and said: "  Lord Dutong, the Lord has urgently summoned you to Changchun Garden." Chen Xiaoru stood up quickly and said to the others: "You all should take care of the case and close it as soon as possible. I will go to Changchun Garden and hear the progress when I come back."  Went to Xiaoqi School Yamen and went straight to Changchun Garden.  When we arrived at Fengyu Tower, the sky was already getting dark. When Chen Xiaoru came in, he found that food was already placed on the table in the room.  It's neither luxurious nor well-decorated. There are two bowls of rice porridge, two pairs of chopsticks, a few side dishes on the table, and only one meat dish.  "Sit down and eat together." Fang Jie pointed to the stool, then waved his hand to signal everyone waiting in the room to get out.  Chen Xiaoru leaned forward and sat down on the stool, putting his hands on his knees, waiting for Fang Jie to speak.  "Don't pretend to be so reserved." Fang Jie glanced at him and said, "After you've eaten enough,??I have something else to ask you to do.  " Chen Xiaoru responded quickly and accompanied Fang Jie to eat. "After coming down from the court this morning, I had nothing to do and looked through the history books of the previous dynasties" Fang Jie said casually while eating: "I happened to see Da Zheng Jianguo.  The part where the new emperor ascended the throne was quite emotional.  " If it were anyone else, they would have thought that Fang Jie was thinking about becoming the emperor. But Chen Xiaoru's thoughts immediately went to other places. The reason why he was reused by Fang Jie to manage the Xiaoqi Riding School was precisely because he was thoughtful enough.  He was also smart enough. He thought about the time when Dazheng had just founded the country, and the ministers were fighting for merit like dogs biting dogs. When he thought of this, he couldn't think of eating, so he quickly stood up and bowed his head and said: "My lord, isn't it?"  Who in the Riding School made a mistake?  " "No" Fang Jie shook his head: "But not now, doesn't mean not in the future.  I have been worried about one thing, and I feel a little uneasy every time I think about it.  I asked you to govern the Riding School and supervise the public sentiment. I have given you the maximum authority for the Riding School. This is because I know your character.  However, the Knight Riding School monitors others. What if someone in the Riding School makes a mistake?  " Chen Xiaoru became even more frightened. He suddenly remembered what Lan Qianshou said before, and his heart became so tight that even his breathing became unstable. "Don't be afraid, I have no doubts about you.  But there are some things that must be thought of ahead of time.  I called you here this time because I want you to do an errand.  " Fang Jie glanced at Chen Xiaoru: "From tomorrow onwards, you will select the most elite personnel to form another yamen. This yamen is not a formal one.  You come and arrest them personally and take charge of them yourself. These people are still members of the Riding School, but they have a shady duty to supervise the Riding School.  " Chen Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief, and some color returned to his face. "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will get started immediately.  " "The Knight Riding School has too much power, so it is inevitable that some people will fawn over it.  Fang explained: "When we enter Chang'an City, our hearts are easily moved."  There are many people who want to bribe the Xiao Riding School, and you are their biggest target.  I trust you, so I let you do this.  " "Here" Chen Xiaoru nodded heavily: "I understand!  "
