"Directly start the fight? Is that really not enough?" Chang Sheng thought for a while, then came up with an idea: "Alright, I won't touch him tonight, but tomorrow, when that brat goes to the morning assembly, there will be a good show to see.
Chang Sheng laughed sinisterly, then left the study and walked towards the room that Zhao Xiangyang had temporarily prepared for him.
The morning of the second day had just begun to brighten when the officials in the throne room had long since consciously split themselves into two sides and the imperial court had already begun.
"Royal Father, in the past few days, my Daqi Dynasty has encountered a natural disaster. Raindrops fell all over the Central Plains, especially on Tian Luo Province. It's been said that yesterday, the location of the Tian Luo Province capital even more so erupted into a flash flood! "
Third Prince Fang Shujing and the others had just started the dynasty, when they immediately walked out from their respective groups, and spoke to Fang Yuanfu who was seated on the Dragon Throne: "Royal Father, since ancient times, the wise man of the past has always said that 'The heavens have descended upon the sages, and it is necessary for one's will, muscles and bones to be worn out, hungry for the flesh, and an empty body'." In my opinion, this time's natural disaster, is definitely because the heavens are going to descend to my Daqi Dynasty, this is just a training from before! But even so, the disaster is so serious that we still have to provide relief. "
"Disaster must be taken care of." As Fang Yuanfu sat on the Dragon Throne, his voice was not very loud, but it was enough for everyone in the throne room to hear him clearly.
"The Royal Father is wise, it is truly the fortune of tens of thousands of people for the Royal Father to think this way for the sake of his people. Royal Father, as a prince, I very much hope that I can help you out. " As Fang Shujing spoke, he took out two memorabilia from his bosom: "Royal Father, last night, this son thought for a night and wrote down a list of relief ministers. These people are what I thought.
Just as Third Prince finished speaking, a young eunuch by the side immediately walked over, took the memorial, and gave it to the White Eunuch beside the Emperor. He then handed it over to Fang Yuanfu.
And in the other memorial, Third Prince personally stood in front of Chang Qianze, the first of the civil officials, and handed the memorial to him. Everyone in the imperial court knew that the Emperor trusted Prime Minister Chang Qianze greatly, and that the Emperor would let Chang Gan Ze take a look at each of the petitions. Even the petitions that denounced Chang Qianze were the same.
Over time, everyone had gotten used to it. They would write two petitions at once, one for the Emperor and the other one for the Prime Minister Chang Qianze.
Yesterday, he went to look for trouble with Chang Qianze Industry, he wondered if would find trouble with him on the list today because of what happened yesterday.
Fang Shujing glanced at Chang Qianze with a headache, then turned his gaze towards Royal Father who was sitting on top of the Dragon Throne. His gaze lingered on the Dragon Throne for a few seconds, and then unwillingly moved his gaze onto Royal Father's face.
Fang Yuanfu took the memorial from White Eunuch's hands and swept his eyes over it. At the start, he even revealed a smile, but as he read, his eyebrows slowly furrowed.
Most of the contents of this memorial were very long.
The first part of the memorial is about the importance of disaster relief. The second part is about how to provide disaster relief and some suggestions for disaster relief.
Then came the longest part of the third section, which was the list of the ministers who had been recommended to the disaster relief team, and which listed the characteristics of the ministers behind every one of them, as well as the facts of life, indicating that the ministers were absolutely capable of handling the disaster relief.
This memorial was written at an extremely high level, but the problem was those ministers!
Fang Yuanfu frowned, he did not even need to look at the introductions and only needed to look at the names to know who the officials were, because they were all people from the Third Prince!
There was not a single person on this list who was not his! Moreover, these people were quite capable. It was reassuring to send them to the rescue. However, although these people had outstanding abilities, their conduct was a problem.
Fang Yuanfu secretly thought of the reports that he had received from the intelligence department. These ministers were definitely greedy for money! This time, San Zi had proposed these people, so he couldn't use them all!
Fang Yuanfu indifferently swept a glance down at the three sons below him, feeling complicated in his heart. The three sons of Fang Shujing were the princes that he had high hopes for, and he had not disappointed himself either.
At the same time, because the current imperial power was not concentrated enough, he wanted to use his mother's family relationship to divide the powers of many ministers and large families, then consolidate and strengthen the centralization of power.
The calligraphy was quite good, helping to divide up the power of large clans. But while he was strengthening the centralization of power, the strength of his mother's family also increased. For example, about sixty to seventy percent of the ministers he recommended were from his mother's family.
These were not things he wanted to see.
Chang Qianze looked at the memorial in his hand and also frowned. To use these people to provide relief, that was impossible, they were all members of the Third Prince, how could they let the same person provide relief?
He absolutely could not allow such a situation to occur. However, the person who recommended him was, after all, the Third Prince and the Emperor's son. Since the Emperor had yet to speak, it would not be good for him to speak directly.
However, if the emperor agrees, I must step in and stop him.
Just as Chang Qianze was thinking, a figure stepped forward into the distance between him and the general. It was the Grand Preceptor Fei of the three dynasties!
"Your Majesty." Grand Preceptor Fei walked out of the crowd and cried out. He noticed that the emperor's gaze had shifted away from the memorial and onto himself, and Grand Preceptor Fei took out two memorial books from his chest pocket.
Seeing Grand Preceptor Fei's actions, Third Prince Fang Shuwen's face immediately became ugly.
"Your majesty, Old Official also has a memorial here. Just like your majesty, your Old Official has also recommended a few people to help with the disaster. I hope your majesty can take a look."
The Grand Preceptor Fei said, and passed the memorial to Fang Yuanfu and Chang Qianze.
"This old fogey really did intervene!" Fang Shujing's mouth twitched, he had already expected that in the current assembly, the people with the most power, or the ones with the highest status, Prince Lin would not be here, while the Grand Marshal was from the army, so he could not step in this time's disaster.
Chang Qianze was the Prime Minister and would not report his name, the only person who would be able to report his name was Grand Preceptor Fei.
Fang Yuanfu and Chang Qianze took the memorials, glanced at it, and started frowning. The names of the people in the memorials were all from his Grand Preceptor Fei.
Fang Yuanfu looked at his third son, then looked at Grand Preceptor Fei and shook his head. He definitely could not accept both of their names, it seemed that the person who would help them should go back and discuss with the Prime Minister first.
"Un, the matter of relief is no small matter, and I cannot easily come to a conclusion. As for the list of relief assistance, I need to go back and think about it carefully. My dear sirs, do you have any other matters to attend to? "
Fang Yuanfu tactfully refused the two of them and continued with the meeting.
Just as the morning assembly was about to begin, Chang Sheng woke up early. Under Fang Shuwen's lead, he carried his Wind And Thunder Rod and brought Old Devil to Third Prince's Prefecture.
Even though Third Prince was a prince, he had long since been conferred the title of a duke. Because he was conferred the title of a duke, he no longer stayed in the palace but moved outside to establish his own clan.
Chang Sheng looked at the extremely large courtyard in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Just as they were five meters away from the Third Prince Palace's gate, before Chang Sheng could enter, two servants wearing tight clothes stepped forward at the door and loudly shouted at Chang Sheng.
"Stop, this is Third Prince's manor, hurry up and get out of here, don't get in the way here, or else I'll break your legs, get lost!"
What arrogant servants, they were only two guards. Moreover, he was still quite far from the main gate of their mansion, yet they let him leave before he even walked over. This was too overbearing! Could it be that this road was theirs as well, and they were not allowed to walk on it?!
Chang Sheng was furious in his heart, on his silly looking face, he stared at the two of them angrily: "You guys told Chang Sheng to scram, don't think that Chang Sheng doesn't know, scram is scolding words, you curse Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng wants to beat you to death!"
Chang Sheng shouted out loud. Carrying the Wind And Thunder Rod, he walked towards the two in big strides.
"Chang Sheng!"
The two servants heard Chang Sheng's answer and were instantly dumbstruck, then looking at the person in front of them, even though his face was filled with anger, they could tell that he had a silly look. He was obviously a ordinary man, if they listened to his words, wouldn't that also be what the ordinary man said?
"Not good, this is Chang Sheng!"
The two servants immediately reacted. They knew something was wrong and did not dare to guard the gate anymore. They turned around, pushed open the gate, and ran into the yard in a flustered manner.
What a joke, the person in front of him was Chang Sheng, the most famous person in the capital, the fool that he could not afford to offend!
