Fakong smiled: "The emperor should have guessed it."
"Feng Qingnan?" Chu Xiong said slowly.
Fa Kong nodded lightly.
Chu Xiong's face was as gloomy as iron.
After a moment, he said slowly: "He has been stationed in the city in southern Xinjiang and rarely comes back to Shenjing."
Fa Kong nodded.
Chu Xiong said: "His son stayed in the capital. He was also useless and idle all day long."
Fa Kong sighed.
A true husband will inevitably have an unworthy wife and an unworthy son, and even the most heroic man will inevitably be like this. As a general, it is not surprising that Feng Qingnan has an unworthy son.
This is the helplessness of the world.
Chu Xiong said coldly: "His son was punished, and then he hired someone to take revenge and formed a clique for personal gain. He really deserves to die!"
Fakong smiled: "Of all the courtiers in the world today, which one can avoid it? Even if the emperor is angry, there is nothing he can do."
Cleaning up the officialdom is not about martial arts sects. It involves the characteristics of human nature and power and is unavoidable.
Only containment can only be contained for a while; it cannot be contained forever and requires constant adjustment.
"I..." Chu Xiong was speechless.
Fakong said: "It is impossible for the emperor to avoid this, and the Northern Supervision Department cannot do this either."
This kind of thing is a thankless effort and offends the entire court.
Even if a person like Wang Huchen is an enemy of the world, he will do it with great interest as long as it is beneficial to the country, the country and the country.
Chu Xiong's face was gloomy and he said slowly: "Now that I know about this matter, I can't let it go for nothing."
Fakong seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Should Feng Qingnan be severely punished?"
"..." Chu Xiong hesitated.
I was so angry that I really wanted to beat Feng Qingnan to the bottom and send him to the north to farm.
But reason still prevailed.
Feng Qingnan worked hard and made great contributions to the country. He was stationed on the border, but his son was abandoned.
Although his son asked for it, the court still owed him.
As a general, but unable to protect his own son, it is understandable how this general feels.
After knowing that his son was deposed, Feng Qingnan must have been furious and wished he could lead his army back to destroy the Qianming Sect.
The courtier who helped him avenge the Qianming Sect seemed to be out of consideration for the friendship between his colleagues.
But he used the power of the court to fulfill his friendship.
This seemed to them to be a matter of course, and they never thought that the power given to them by the court should not be used for personal use.
Fakong shook his head.
So this matter is not that simple, it is very difficult and embarrassing.
Heavy punishment for Feng Qingnan?
After all, it was not Feng Qingnan who destroyed the Qianming Sect. He could not destroy the Qianming Sect in southern Xinjiang.
But donating treasures is an act of loyalty.
After all, the disadvantages of this treasure are difficult to discover. Not even Chu Xiong could discover it, let alone Feng Qingnan.
The Qianming Sect disciple who offered the treasure was severely punished?
This really deserves a heavy penalty.
Although he deserves sympathy, he actually dared to drag Chu Xiong and even the prince into trouble, and used Chu Xiong's hand to destroy Feng Qingnan.
This is the way to die.
There is also the courtier who established the friendship between colleagues and the minister who drove the Wulin Sect to destroy the Qianming Sect.
Unjustly accusing one family and destroying another because of one person's fault, not to mention that it was just a person injured in the process of resistance.
I am afraid that such ruthless methods were used more than once. How many of the destroyed martial arts sects were wrongly accused?
Fakong said: "How will the emperor deal with it?"
Chu Xiong's face was gloomy and he said nothing.
Fakong did not urge him, knowing that this was very difficult.
He stood up and filled Chu Xiong's cup of tea again, and filled it himself. He took a leisurely sip, savoring the fragrance of the tea, and his internal organs were washed once again.
No matter how many times I drink it, the tea brewed with the divine water and tea leaves from Zhongshan Mountain is always so refreshing.
Chu Xiong took a sip and his mind was clear.
He took a long breath and said slowly: "That's all."
Fakong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The emperor wants to pretend not to know?"
"Well, pretend you don't know." Chu Xiong said solemnly: "We can only deal with that guy secretly."
"You want to deal with Mr. Zhou Yangzhou?"
"Zhou Yang?!" Chu Xiong gritted his teeth.
Fa Kong smiled again.
This Zhou Yang is the minister of the Ministry of War.
And Feng Qingnan is the general, so the two of them can be regarded as one inside and one outside.
Collusion between the inside and the outside is the most taboo. Once the inside and outside collude, they can hide everything.
These two people were considered to have violated the taboos of the imperial court.
Chu Xiong's face was gloomy.
I originally wanted to pretend to be confused, get this matter over with, and then find an opportunity to deal with the courtier.
Unexpectedly, this courtier turned out to be Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang is already the minister of the Ministry of War, and he has a lot of power. No wonder he easily destroyed the Qianming Sect without even knowing it.
For him, the Minister of War, it was just a matter of words.
Since Zhou Yang has such a good relationship with Feng Qingnan, I'm afraid there are many things that he doesn't know, especially things about Feng Qingnan.
Therefore, we still need to investigate secretly, not only to investigate this matter, but more importantly, to find out what else happened to Feng Qingnan.
And Zhou Yang...
He frowned and looked at Fa Kong.
Fakong gently put down the tea cup: "Your Majesty, this Zhou Yang doesn't have any big problems. He is considered honest and loyal."
"Hey, what would a loyal person do?"
"Perhaps he was angry at the injustice on the road and felt angry for the soldiers who were out on the battlefield, so he was furious with thunder."
"The wrath of thunder," Chu Xiong said coldly: "That is also my wrath of thunder, not his random behavior!"
As the minister of the Ministry of War, Zhou Yang could report this matter, and he would naturally impose punishment after seeing it.
But he made his own decision and didn't even ask for an invitation!
"Then the emperor should think about it," Fa Kong said with a smile: "Why would he rather make his own decision than submit to the memorial?"
Chu Xiong's face was gloomy.
Obviously this is because even if it is played, it will not go as expected.
If I knew about it, I would definitely not just take care of Feng Qingnan's feelings, but also think about why these meritorious deeds were so rampant afterwards.
If you blindly show partiality, will it fuel their arrogance and make them even more unscrupulous and rampant?
My own approach is to calm things down.
Let Qianming Sect hand over the disciple who hurt others and punish him for the crime of hurting others. Since it was self-defense and resistance, he should be fined and not more serious.
In this way, it not only saves Feng Qingnan's face, but also gives an explanation to the people, letting them know that the court will not blindly favor generals and officials, which can be said to have won the hearts of the people.
As for Feng Qingnan's son, he was seeking his own death. He couldn't blame anyone else. Feng Qingnan could only hate himself for not being able to teach his son well.
If his son behaves well, where will these things come from?
His son met Qian Mingzong, but he was only crippled. If he was replaced by a martial arts master, he would probably be killed directly.
"On one side are the people, on the other side are the officials." Fakong raised his hands and spread them out, as if he were holding something in his hands. He weighed them and said with a smile, "Which side does the emperor want to sit on?"
Chu Xiong stared at his palms, his eyes twinkling.
Fakong smiled and said: "The emperor is skilled in the art of balance. He will stand here sometimes and stand there sometimes."
"Not bad." Chu Xiong admitted frankly.
He will not always stand on the side of the officials, but he will not always stand on the side of the people. He must keep changing.
If officials are powerful, they must suppress them. If public sentiment is strong, they must comply with the people and cannot blindly stand on any side.
If you blindly stand on one side and don't move, the country will be in danger.
Fakong said: "This time the emperor may want to side with the people, so Mr. Zhou will do his own thing."
Chu Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly.
Fakong said: "The courtiers are one, especially when facing the people. Doesn't Wang Huchen know this? Not necessarily."
It is normal for ministers to fight with each other, but when faced with external disputes, they will join forces to safeguard their interests together.
Chu Xiong took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's impossible that Wang Huchen doesn't know, he's just pretending not to know."
"He may think it's better that the emperor doesn't know." Fakong smiled: "This is for the good of the country, the country, and the country."
Chu Xiong's face darkened again.
Fakong shook his head: "People's hearts are deep, so it's better to know less about the world's affairs. The more you know, the more troubled you will be."
Chu Xiong took a deep breath and said: "If there is anything else, say it in one breath, don't say it half and hide it half."
Fakong said: "Qianming Sect..., there are two other disciples who escaped from Daqian and fled into Dayun."
Chu Xiong frowned.
Fakong said: "Your Majesty wants to eradicate the weeds, right?"
Although Qian Ming Zong was wronged, at this point, Qian Ming Zong's disciples could no longer be allowed to continue to live.
They will definitely take revenge, revenge on Feng Qingnan, revenge on Zhou Yang, revenge on the court, revenge on the emperor, and revenge on all the martial arts sects that participated in the annihilation of the Qianming Sect.
Chu Xiong said solemnly: "We can only get rid of them."
Fakong shook his head: "Unfortunately, they have strange objects to protect their bodies, and I can't find them."
Chu Xiong frowned and stared at him.
Fakong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't believe it, right?"
"Do you think I will believe it?"
"But this is the fact." Fakong sighed: "My clairvoyance is not omniscient and omnipotent."
Chu Xiong stared at him for a moment and said slowly: "They actually have treasures that can block your clairvoyance!"
"With such a strange object as the jade pendant, it is not surprising that there are other strange objects." Fakong said: "Qianming Sect still has some background, but it is a pity..."
He shook his head and sighed.
But Chu Xiong didn't feel any pity at all. There were countless big clouds in sects like Qianming Sect.
Which of the current sects does not have some foundation?
Those without foundation have already been eliminated. The competition in Dayun Wulin is so fierce.
Chu Xiong picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp: "That's all."
Fakong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's easy to go."
Chu Xiong put down the tea cup and walked out. When he reached the door of the courtyard, he stopped and turned to look at Fakong.
Fakong looked at him with a smile.
Chu Xiong snorted: "Are you deliberately trying to ruin my mood?"
Fakong smiled and said: "Even if the emperor can't do anything, he still needs to know what happened, right?"
Chu Xiong nodded slowly: "I don't want to be a fool!...How do you think we should handle this matter?"
"Restore Qianming Sect." Fakong said.
Chu Xiong frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's impossible."
The Qianming Sect has been destroyed, so how can it be restored?
Fakong said: "The disciples of the Qianming Sect are not extinct, so they can be rebuilt and the court will compensate them."
"This is equivalent to admitting that they were wronged in the first place," Chu Xiong said solemnly: "Zhou Yang had to deal with it."
Fakong smiled: "If the emperor asks me, I will only have this idea. Forgive me for being stupid, I can't think of anything else."
