On the same day, Fang Guangchen, who was at home, heard the news, and didn't care about teaching Fang Lanming a lesson, so he immediately took a sedan chair and came to the palace to see Wu Shifan.

"Your Majesty, my ignorant child is a fool, and those unresponsible ministers in the court have the heart to let him stand up and fight for power with Xia Guo, so he praised his bullshit idea, Your Majesty is a smart person, don't let these people's small means blind you."

Wu Shifan was stunned for a moment: "What do you say, I think Lord Fang's idea is very good, that place in Yunnan has been a barren land since ancient times, although it has been transformed by the emperor over the years, but compared with these big cities in the south of the Yangtze River, it is still thousands of miles away。。。。。。 ”

"Your Majesty!" Fang Guangchen interrupted him abruptly: "We are civil and military generals, some old people from Yunnan, and some people from Jiangnan. Those adults in Yunnan have all taken their families to Jiangnan to enjoy the blessings, naturally they don't care about the gains and losses of Yunnan, but Your Majesty have you thought about it, these adults can move their families to Jiangnan, our low-level soldiers are still in Yunnan, they can't take their families over to enjoy the blessings, but these people have followed the emperor since the army in Yunnan, and they are the pillars of my Great Zhou army, Your Majesty's move will make the army chaotic! ”

Wu Shifan was taken aback, the ministers of the court took themselves into account, but they did not consider those lower-level generals, but it is also a common thing for them, no one is a saint who helps the world, and it is already good to be able to keep his net worth in this troubled world.

Fang Guangchen continued: "Those people don't dare to fight with Xia Guo openly, so they pull my incompetent son as a shield, Xia Guoxiang may not worry about my dog for the sake of our colleagues for many years, but this matter is damaging my national fortune of Da Zhou, the old minister kneels and begs Your Majesty to think twice!" Saying that, he really knelt on the ground for Wu Shifan.

This Fang Guangchen and Wu Sangui are good friends, where did Wu Shifan dare to let him kowtow to himself, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Quickly pick up the boss!" ”

The surrounding eunuchs hurriedly trotted to Fang Guangchen and picked him up: "Boss, what are you doing, isn't this embarrassing for the emperor." ”

Wu Shifan sighed with some disappointment: "What the Manchu Dynasty thinks about is only their own gains and losses, is this Great Zhou a great Zhou that I am alone, they eat the king, and the matter of being disloyal to the king is really chilling." ”

Fang Guangchen naturally knew that this was a bad debt, there was no way to calculate it, if it was one or two people, it would be easy to say, but it was impossible to dismiss all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and replace them with new people, and how to ensure that these people were different from the previous ones after changing the new people, since there was no way to guarantee it, the replacement could only paralyze the operation of the entire imperial court, so it was better not to change it.

But after all, His Majesty is the lord of this Great Zhou, and he can't be too cold, the young man's heart is not calm enough, once he is in a hurry and goes to the extreme, this court will have to make some chaos.

Fang Guangchen coughed: "Your Majesty, don't think too badly, these people want to do things but are forced by the prestige of Xia Guoxiang, some things can never be done, and in the end, it is inevitable that the idea of overthrowing Xia Guoxiang first, but unfortunately Xia Guoxiang is powerful in the court, and they can only find people like dogs who have some scruples about Xia Guoxiang, Your Majesty only needs to elect a leader for them to compete with Xia Guoxiang, they can naturally do things for the court with their hearts, so as not to be impeached by the other party, this is the king's way of checks and balances." ”

Wu Shifan's eyes lit up: "What the boss said is very reasonable, but Xia Guoxiang is my uncle, who has just been removed from his position as auxiliary minister, and he wants to raise a person to be on an equal footing with him, I am worried that he will have complaints in his heart." ”

"The Ninth Five-Year Honor, family affairs are state affairs, if Xia Guoxiang can't even see through this, then the minister can only think that he does have the heart of disobedience!"

Wu Shifan clapped his hands: "Okay!" Boss, I'm going to take you out to fight him, what do you think? ”

"The old minister is old, I'm afraid that he will go to the west before the foundation is laid, and the old minister can recommend a person for His Majesty."

"Who?"

"Guo Zhuangtu."

Guo Zhuangtu, Wu Sangui's son-in-law, the history books do not record him too much, but it is said that he was in charge of the logistics of Yunnan during the rebellion of the three feudatories.

Unlike the fame of Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu, this Guo Zhuangtu has always been an unknown figure, and he has not even been seen in the struggle for power after Wu Sangui's death. However, Xia Guoxiang has always respected this brother-in-law, and he has never forgotten him when he is promoted to become rich, and he has also been included in Xia Guoxiang's party, and the ministers of the court have never beaten his idea from beginning to end.

Hearing this name, Wu Shifan shook his head again and again: "If it doesn't work, this uncle is timid and not easy to fight, if I pull him to the court to fight for power, my aunt will know that she has to come to the door." Besides, they're all my uncles, boss, you want to see my uncles fratricidal, don't you? ”

Wu Shifan is not stupid, his uncles are all Wu Sangui's backhands left to him, Hu Guozhu has the ability to forge ahead, Xia Guoxiang has the talent of central deployment, Guo Zhuangtu is his back road, in case the big thing doesn't work out, Guo Zhuangtu will definitely be able to arrange a way out for him, wouldn't it be a loss of Wu Shifan's own power to bring them together to fight in the ring, so his expression was very resolute, and he didn't agree with anything.

Fang Guangchen was also a little helpless, in his opinion, as a king, he should be a lonely man, any uncle and uncle can be used, Wu Shifan refused to pull Guo Zhuangtu to the court to fight with Xia Guoxiang, who can choose anyone to come over, with his appearance of valuing family affection so much, who can get benefits?

In desperation, he could only recommend other candidates: "Your Majesty, how is Li Rumi?" "Anyway, this old Shangshu is an old man who is an official, and with the intention of not dying and being poor, he recommended this Li Rumi.

Speaking of which, it is very suitable for Li Rumi and Xia Guoxiang to fight in the ring, his father is Li Benshen, because of the struggle for power, Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu teamed up to kill Li Benshen, and he really planned to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but Wu Sangui remembered the old feelings, and forced Xia Guoxiang to promise to preserve the bloodline of the old brother.

Wu Sangui's words Xia Guoxiang didn't dare not listen, of course, after Wu Sangui died, Xia Guoxiang suppressed Li Rumi into a seven-grade county order, in his opinion, he was already at ease, but he didn't know that he was carried out by Fang Guangchen at this time.

Wu Shifan thought about it, and finally thought of who this Li Rumi was, and nodded: "This person is not bad, but does he dare to fight with Xia Guoxiang?" ”

Fang Guangchen said in his heart, if you give him a knife now and let him stab Xia Guoxiang to death, he will dare, let alone let him be a big official, but this kind of thing is not good to say so bluntly: "Master Li is resolute and resolute, and he is the best candidate for this matter!" ”

"That's good, immediately summon Li Rumi to Beijing, and crown the Dongge University Scholar, the crown prince Shaobao."
