Jiao Fang is an old fox. He is ignorant and has a superficial culture. However, over the years, he can still stand firm under the exclusion and suppression of many court officials, and even rise step by step. This would never be possible without the skill of three heads and six arms.

If you don’t say anything else, just say that you are so sensible. I’m afraid that no one will dare to say that you are the first.

He had already seen the current situation at a glance, which was Yang Tinghe's conspiracy. Of course, Jiao Fang was not very clear about why Yang Tinghe did this. He thought that Yang Tinghe was further compressing the emperor's power in order to establish his authority, so he used such a sinister bad chess move.

Jiao Fang was very happy now. On the way to meet the eunuchs, he asked the eunuchs in the palace. After the emperor retired from the court today, he summoned six tigers one after another. There is no need to ask about the effect of the summoning. At present, the effect is very obvious. Gao Feng turned against him first and had led the guards to guard the ministers. Zhang Yong and Luo Xiang were interrogating Liu Chengwen and conducting investigation and evidence collection. As for Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju, and Ma Yongcheng, he heard that he had a strange look when he left the emperor's bedroom, and it was obvious that he was re-enlisted and subdued by the emperor.

Hehe, Jiao Fang really didn't expect the little emperor to be so wise and resourceful. It seems that Yang Tinghe really miscalculated this time. Don't he know a reason? A rabbit will bite people even if he is anxious, let alone the person you are the current Ming emperor? Isn't this uncomfortable? Do you think he will really let you control it? Now, right? The little emperor used a set of combined punches, which made Yang Tinghe unable to resist.

He beat the master to death by random punches, hahaha.

Jiao Fang was so happy that she couldn't help but smile. Of course, what made him happiest was the cheap he picked up for no reason because of this conflict. He was inexplicably promoted to prime minister. Hehe, Yang Tinghe was completely finished now, Jiao Fang smiled proudly.

"Your Majesty, in the old minister's opinion, the current situation is actually difficult, not difficult," Jiao Fang looked at Zhu Houzhao and pondered slightly.

"Oh, what do Jiao Aiqing's opinion? Why not talk about it?" Zhu Houzhao looked at him and said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the most important thing about Princess Weiyuan is to calm down as soon as possible. As long as this matter is calmed down, the court officials will not mention this matter anymore, and the matter will naturally not have much impact, and the matter will be over. Otherwise, if you blindly follow the roots and investigate and collect evidence, the matter will become more and more troublesome, which will be unfavorable to Princess Weiyuan, and there will be more and more rumors from the outside world, becoming more and more unbearable. Your Majesty, do you think?" Jiao Fang looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked.

Zhu Houzhao deeply agreed with this statement, and even Xiao Yuer, who was hiding behind the screen, nodded unconsciously and expressed her agreement.

"Jiao Aiqing said it very well, but I don't know how to calm this matter down. Even if I agree not to pursue it, will the court officials give up?" Zhu Houzhao asked with some concern.

"Hehe, Your Majesty," he heard Zhu Houzhao's words, Jiao Fang stroked his beard and smiled, "Your Majesty, you must know that many things in this world depend on what you say. For example, what do the court officials say about Princess Weiyuan? They say that it is Yao Ji Meizhu who is in trouble with the country, but, they have mouths, and the emperor has a more powerful tool for passing messages. Why don't the emperor pass the imperial edict to the world? Just say that the reason why Your Majesty did not execute the thief Liang Xiaoyu was actually because of the fact that his Majesty did not execute the thief Liang Xiaoyu.

His Majesty is the first priority, and he does not want to kill young girls to harm the heavenly harmony. At the same time, he treats Liang Xiaoyu very generously, in order to use this to influence the thief's hearts so that he can quell the rebellion without using weapons. Sun Tzu's military strategy says that if he does not fight, he will be the best. Your Majesty's move is a way to worry about the country and the people. However, Yang Tinghe and others misinterpret the saint's will, and they will chaotic words, disrupt the government's affairs, and so rumors spread everywhere. Now, Yang Tinghe and others demoted Yang Tinghe and others half a level to show punishment."

Jiao Fang said this, paused for a moment and continued: "At the same time, Your Majesty can also send an order to Princess Weiyuan to go to Weizhou to persuade the rioters to surrender. This will also reflect Your Majesty's profound intention. In addition, since Princess Weiyuan has gone to Weizhou, he will not be by the emperor's side, so naturally there is no saying that the evil princess is charming the king and the country will be in trouble."

Jiao Fang's words made Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he felt that this was a good idea. He was overjoyed at the moment and agreed with Jiao Fang's idea, but he also had a concern, that was to send Xiao Yu'er to persuade Liang Hong to surrender. Although he knew that this was a good approach, he didn't want Xiao Yu'er to leave him, so he was still a little worried.

However, no matter what, Jiao Fang gave a solution to the problem, so Zhu Houzhao immediately sent Gao Feng over, and then asked Jiao Fang and Gao Feng to write an order and pass on the message to deal with the chaos in front of him. He himself returned to the studio with Xiao Yuer.

Xiao Yu'er is very happy now. She also hopes that she can go to Weizhou to persuade her father to surrender, because in this way, she can see her father. Maybe she can run back to her father's side secretly at that time.

So, when Zhu Houzhao discussed this matter with her, she agreed immediately.

Xiao Yu'er's reaction made Zhu Houzhao helpless, and she unconsciously looked at Xiao Yu'er and said, "Actually, you really want to go back, right?"

Xiao Yu'er snorted coldly and didn't say anything. This made Zhu Houzhao a little angry. She couldn't help frowning, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then she looked at Xiao Yu'er and said, "I hope you can do something for me this time and persuade your father to surrender. You can tell him that as long as he is willing to surrender, I will naturally not treat him badly. At that time, our monarch and ministers will be together, will we be happy? In that case, I won't have to spend so much effort to see you in the future, and no one dares to say anything."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu'er smiled and looked at him and said, "What if my dad doesn't want to surrender?"

"I have achieved this. If he dares to be stubborn, I will not blame me," Zhu Houzhao looked at Xiao Yu'er and said helplessly: "Xiao Yu'er, you are still young and may not understand these things. Compared to my private affairs, it is more important to the world of Ming Dynasty. I can tolerate these court officials oppressing me, but I will never allow anyone to provoke the Ming regime and attempt to subvert the world. Do you understand?"

"I am a child, what's the point of understanding?" Xiao Yu'er said disdainfully.

"Do you know that your father has done a great thing now. He is entrenched in the deep mountains outside Weizhou City, conquering bandits, summoning Luo Wulin strongmen, recruiting soldiers and horses. Now he has gathered thousands of people, and it has become a big force. I am giving him the last chance to regret. I really don't want to meet him. Can you understand my intentions?" Zhu Houzhao said as she looked at Xiao Yu'er.

"Okay, I will do my best, but I don't know what my dad thinks and does it. If you don't succeed, don't blame me," Xiao Yu'er said.

"Okay, but, no matter whether you succeed or not, you must come back for me well," said Zhu Houzhao.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu'er smiled and didn't say anything. Zhu Houzhao knew what she was thinking, so she couldn't help but say to Xiao Yu'er: "I will send Luo Xiang to lead the big guards to protect you during this trip."

"If I escape halfway and never return, what will you do?" Xiao Yu'er wouldn't understand Zhu Houzhao's intentions, and asked in a deep voice.

"Anyway, don't force me!" Zhu Houzhao also took the initiative and couldn't help but say coldly.

...

Unlike the fierce dialogue in the harem, the Golden Palace was silent at this time.

The emperor had several decrees coming out one after another, and Gao Feng was a little dry-mouthed.

The first imperial edict appointed Jiao Fang as the chief minister of the cabinet.

The second imperial edict appointed Princess Weiyuan as the imperial envoy of Tianen to Weizhou to recruit rebel soldiers.

The third imperial edict was told to the world that I was a kind and kind king. I originally wanted to treat the thief's daughter to influence the thief's heart. Unexpectedly, Yang Tinghe and others misinterpret the saint's will, spreading rumors, bewitching people's hearts, and even forcing the palace to punish them. They were wrong to be a minister. Yang Tinghe and others were demoted to half a level and fined their salary for one year to show punishment.

The fourth imperial edict was that the Censor Liu Chengwen did not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. He believed that Yang Tinghe and others bewitched. At the court meeting, he forced the palace to question the crime, feared the rebellion of the Saint Lord, and was very rude. He was demoted to the commoner and was sent to the Qinghai Sheep and was never allowed to return to the court!

A series of imperial edicts, a series of arrangements, and a set of combination punches made Yang Ting and his whole body confused. He didn't know what was going on. Why, why did this little emperor suddenly become so tough? Why did his mind be so meticulous?

For a moment, the ministers were in an uproar. Everyone looked at Jiao Fang, who was proud and full of ambition, and naturally attributed all the blame to him.

Yes, it was this old fox who betrayed us, it was his plan to the emperor!

Yes, otherwise why would he become the chief minister of the cabinet all at once? Alas, everyone has fallen into the trick of this old thief!

However, even if they are dissatisfied and angry, the court officials have no choice. After all, the dominance is now in the hands of others, and no matter how much they resist, it is useless. Moreover, the emperor has asked Liang Xiaoyu to recruit the thief army in front of the formation, which has directly blocked the ministers' mouths. They have not stayed by the emperor's side, and they even have to contribute to the country. How can you say that the heroes of the evil spirits are?

In desperation, the atmosphere of common hatred and hostility that the ministers had just established collapsed.

"Sir, why don't you let me go first? In the cabinet tomorrow, I'm going to be the first to ask for a few guru. Don't be late for a few guru-"

After Jiao Fang finished speaking, he left proudly, leaving only a group of court officials kneeling there helplessly.

Things seemed to have calmed down like this. In this game, the little emperor Zhu Houzhao fought back, and rushed to Guan Yi's anger and won the victory.

It was getting late, and the palace lanterns were lit up. Zhu Houzhao was mutteringly reminding Xiao Yuer to be careful of catching a cold on the road and wear more clothes. At the same time, she helped Xiao Yuer pack up and organize the package by herself. The whole nagging aunt made Xiao Yuer helpless, but at this moment, Zhang Yong and Luo Xiang came.

Zhu Houzhao went out to meet him helplessly, but when he heard the report from the two, Zhu Houzhao's eyelids twitched unconsciously and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "You two are serious about this? Is this matter really related to Cining Palace?"

"Your Majesty, as the chief supervisor of the Great Inner, how can I not know about the affairs in the palace?" Luo Xiang bowed and said, "When Admiral Zhang interrogated Liu Chengwen, the servant had already secretly investigated in the palace. After investigation, he found out that the whole thing was actually because His Majesty the Queen was so angry that His Majesty was too fond of Princess Weiyuan, so he slandered the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was also a little worried about this matter, so he sent Eunuch Li to hand Yang Tinghe over."

"Okay, OK, hahaha--" Zhu Houzhao laughed in anger, slammed the table and stood up, then said ruthlessly: "I thought what happened to Yang Ting and these people? It turns out that there was something wrong with my harem. Okay, OK, Queen, haha, Queen, she is smart. Come on, pass the order and serve the queen tonight!"
