Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

The uproarous Ezhou incident ended with an unexpected result.

The Jiangnan faction of officials suffered the greatest setback in history. Even Prime Minister Feng had no choice but to resign and return to his hometown. None of the officials who tried to use the Ezhou incident to attack Tang Ning, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, ended up well.

In the past few years, King Kang and King Duan had been fighting inextricably and bloodyly. These neutral forces mostly watched the excitement. Jiangnan officials represented by Feng Xiang never participated in party disputes, but in this incident, It suffered a more serious blow than the party's unity and opposition to dissent.

King Kang's Mansion.

There was such a big turmoil in the court, so naturally King Kang had already received the news.

Prince Kang poured a glass of wine, shook his head and said, "This Tang Ning is really blessed with great fortune. She won't die even if she does this..."

Ever since the two had completely broken up with each other and knew that he could no longer win over him, King Kang had no good impression of him and expressed regret that Tang Ning was not defeated in this chaos.

He took a sip of wine, suddenly looked to the other side, and asked: "Mr. Xu, this time my father asked Feng Xiang to pack up and go home, and the former Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhou Shangshu, took over. Do you think we should send food to the Zhou Mansion?" It’s a meaningful gift, but don’t let Prince Duan and the Tang family get there first..."

"Your Highness does not need to do anything more." Mr. Xu said: "Zhou Shangshu is already old and frail. His Majesty asked him to take over the position of right prime minister. It is just a reward and a gift. In less than a year, Prime Minister Zhou will retire from this position. of."

"Sir, what you said makes sense." King Kang thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that this time, Prime Minister Feng took the lead in attacking Tang Ning, and the Tang family didn't follow. If they also participated in the impeachment, maybe my father would be the same." When he was angry, he removed his minister of rites, how much trouble would we save..."

Mr. Xu said: "Since the Tang family suffered losses in the past few times, their actions in recent days have tended to be conservative. They will not take action without full certainty. This time Feng Xianghui takes action, I am afraid they are also adding fuel to the fire. If you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, you will reap the benefits."

"Those named Tang have always done things in such a shady manner." King Kang gritted his teeth and said somewhat thankfully: "At the beginning, I almost wanted to get involved. Fortunately, Mr. Xu, you persuaded me. Otherwise, our losses will be huge this time.”

Mr. Xu looked at him and said: "We have already lost a lot in the fight with Prince Duan. His Highness should cherish his wings and stop causing unnecessary trouble. Then Tangning has no direct conflict with us. His Highness should put all All attention is focused on King Duan.”

King Kang nodded in an educated manner and said, "I understand. Sir, what do you think I should do next?"

Mr. Xu said: "Although the Jiangnan party suffered heavy losses this time, it was all due to Feng Xiang's group. After Feng Xiang fell, the Tang family became the only big tree that Jiangnan officials could rely on. Your Majesty is now dissatisfied with Jiangnan. Your Highness." We should use this east wind to drag the Tang family into the water, so that we can not only defeat Prince Duan, but also please His Majesty, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

King Kang thought for a while, his face showed joy, and he said: "High, really high!"

Tang family.

Tang Qi's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you can!"

This time, the incident caused by Prime Minister Feng and his party not only failed to bring down Tang Ning, but also got them involved. Not only did their whole army be wiped out, but it also caused trouble to the entire south of the Yangtze River. Your Majesty is not someone who just accepts good things. , the harvest of tens of millions of taels of silver was enough for him to pay a huge price to rectify Jiangnan. He must have made plans to Jiangnan.

Jiangnan West Road is a party member of Prime Minister Feng, and Jiangnan East Road is mostly the territory of the Tang family.

The Tang family originally wanted to use Prime Minister Feng's sword to kill people, but now they are not killed. Instead, they are accidentally injured by Prime Minister Feng and his family, causing harm to the entire Jiangnan...

"Be careful with King Kang." Tang Huai also frowned and said, "The timing is not good for us. If King Kang takes advantage of the situation, the situation will be even worse."

Tang Qi thought for a while and said: "With Prince Kang's mind, he would never have thought of this. What's more, with someone named Xu there, he should be able to control the situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant of the Tang family walked in, handed the thing in his hand to Tang Huai respectfully, and said, "Sir, this is Mr. Xu's secret letter."

After Tang Huai opened the letter, he glanced at it a few times, crumpled it into a ball, and said in a low voice: "Kang Kang has listened to the counselor and plans to stick to this matter. Xu asked us to make preparations in advance."

When Tang Qi heard this, his expression changed first, and then he said fiercely: "In that case, don't blame us!"

……

Prime Minister Feng fell, and Prime Minister Feng's family was also disbanded. Officials in the court thought that the matter would end there, but they did not expect that on the second day after Prime Minister Feng resigned, King Kang pointed out the evils of Jiangnan in the court. He requested the imperial court to strictly investigate the taxation of the states in the south of the Yangtze River. This proposal won the hearts of the Holy Spirit. His Majesty rarely praised King Kang in public and gave him many rewards.

However, luck and misfortune are unpredictable. Within a day of King Kang's success, a censor accused him of indulgence every day. There were many displays in the palace that exceeded the regulations. The royal family was strictly hierarchical. The emperor had the emperor's regulations, and the prince had the prince's regulations. Exceeding the rules is a serious crime, and it is not without precedent that exceeding the rules is defined as the intention to rebel, beheading, and ransacking the family. Fortunately, King Kang's situation of exceeding the rules was not too serious. Even so, he was fined and was not allowed to go to the court to discuss politics or participate in court affairs for one month. …

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is another secret confrontation between King Kang and King Duan, but this time, there is no winner, and both sides suffer...

……

There was nothing more than fighting going on in the court. King Kang and King Duan were both injured in the fight, and they settled down. Everyone also turned their attention away from them and put it elsewhere.

The Fang family’s old lady’s birthday party was approaching. The Fang family took the old lady to the capital from Lingzhou. His Majesty allowed Concubine Fang Shu to come out of the palace to visit. Most of the officials in the court also had to think about what kind of birthday gifts to give at that time, which would not appear ostentatious or unreasonable. As for stinginess.

The Fang family has always kept a low profile. When it comes to the Fang family, many people in Beijing may not realize it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they are secretly frightened.

The old lady of the Fang family now has two sons and one daughter, who hold important positions in the household department and the personnel department respectively. There is also the beloved concubine Fang Shufei in the palace. If you really think about it, even the Tang family is not as powerful as the Fang family.

Of course, the Tang family still has Prince Duan behind him, and Prince Duan is the prince who has taken the throne. The Tang family still has many members of the party, and Prince Run, the daughter of Concubine Fang Shu, is still a child. No matter how good the resources of the Fang family are, they can only be left vacant. After all, Would a child with no full hair want to be an emperor?

Even so, no one in the capital dared to underestimate the Fang family. Not to mention the Tang family, even the two princes were unwilling to have any conflict with the Fang family.

Today is the day when Concubine Fang Shu returns to the palace. Concubines in the palace cannot stay overnight outside the palace. She must return to the palace before the palace gate is closed.

After coming out of the old lady's room, the smile on Fang Shufei's face faded. She looked at Fang Hong and Fang Zhe outside the door and said, "Brother, fourth brother, I have something important to discuss with you."

Seeing her solemn expression, Fang Hong became nervous and said, "Go to my study."

In Fang Mansion's study, Fang Hong closed the door himself, leaving only the three siblings in the room.

Fang Hong then looked at Concubine Fang Shu and asked, "What's the matter with Second Sister?"

Concubine Fang Shu looked at the two of them and said, "Two days ago, Yuan'er told me that he wanted to be the emperor."

Fang Hong's expression changed and he asked, "Who was he bewitched by?"

"He just did it unintentionally." Concubine Fang Shu shook her head and added: "But his words reminded me that although Yuan'er is still young, he is still a prince. With the temperament of King Duan and King Kang, once they ascend the throne, Is there any way for Yuan'er to survive?"

Fang Hong's face was complicated. He naturally knew the answer to this question. If King Kang and King Duan ascended the throne, other princes might still be idle princes and stay in their fiefdoms honestly. However, the birth of several beloved concubines in the palace The prince will definitely have no way to survive.

Only one of King Duan and King Kang can sit on that position alive, and no matter who sits on that position, they will not let go of King Run who was born by Concubine Shu.

Not only that, even the Fang family will decline or be completely destroyed by then.

After all, the new king would not just watch the power of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household fall into the hands of one family at the same time.

Fang Zhe's expression remained calm. After Concubine Fang Shu finished speaking, he looked at her and asked, "Second sister, do you mean to let Yuan'er also participate in the fight for the heir?"

"Yuan'er is also a prince. He will grow up sooner or later." Fang Shufei looked calm and asked: "Since they can fight, why can't we fight?"
