Fu Yuzhi's words made Xu Changqing's brows jump.
Xu Changqing looked at Fu Yuzhi with some surprise, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
In the minds of most courtiers, including Xu Changqing, Fu Yuzhi's character has always been mild, which can be said to be weak. Perhaps Zhao Xuanji was too strong and suppressed Fu Yuzhi's brilliance, but he was also Zhao Xuanji's right-hand man
, Zhang Biwu is much stronger than Fu Yuzhi, while Fu Yuzhi is more inclined to be a little transparent character.
His previous plan was to join forces with Fu Yuzhi, and the imperial court issued a document strictly prohibiting the emergence of these rumors. Even if he used methods, he would mainly give verbal warnings. It would be fine to arrest a few and put him in jail.
But Fu Yuzhi wanted to use Chongdian to directly kill a group of people.
Xu Changqing really didn't expect that Fu Yuzhi, who had always been so quiet, could be so ruthless and decisive.
"Would this... be too harsh and cause a backlash?" Xu Changqing, who took the initiative to come to the door, backed down a little at this time.
Fu Yuzhi stroked his beard, looked at Xu Changqing calmly, and said slowly: "If it is not strict, how can we deter those young people? There are people who deliberately cause trouble, but the capital is always the capital, and the officials in the imperial court,
It is still under the control of the three provinces. If even the unhealthy trends in the court cannot be stopped and the people are in trouble again, it will really be out of control."
Xu Changqing looked at Fu Yuzhi's calm expression and felt horrified in his heart.
He suddenly came back to his senses and felt that this was the right thing to do.
How could a truly merciless person reach such a high position in the cunning officialdom?
Not to mention climbing up, I am afraid that when she first entered the officialdom, Fu Yuzhi should have been eaten up and wiped clean by others decades ago, and not even the bones and dregs were left.
Not to mention Fu Yuzhi, even if it was himself, as the minister of household affairs, he had to go all the way until he met the prince. Didn't he work hard and use all his methods?
Xu Changqing asked himself, over the decades, there have been times when he was ruthless, there were times when he framed political opponents and climbed up by stepping on other people's corpses.
Compassion does not control soldiers, justice does not control wealth, emotion does not establish affairs, and kindness does not serve as an official. How could Xu Changqing be able to reach this stage by relying on kindness?
After taking a breath, Xu Changqing nodded and said, "What Mr. Fu said is absolutely true. I have learned a lesson."
Fu Yuzhi smiled softly and raised her hand to signal Xu Changqing to drink tea.
The gap between the two of them picking up their teacups and drinking tea was not only an intermission at the end of the previous topic, but also a way to clarify their thoughts before starting the next topic.
Xu Changqing picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He felt that the tea soup was rich and fragrant, filling his mouth with saliva and sweetness, and the taste was very graceful.
Putting down the tea cup, this time Fu Yuzhi took the initiative to speak before Xu Changqing could speak.
"Now that it's clear that Chongdian is going to be used, why don't you and I just come up with a charter? In Mr. Xu's opinion, what should be done about this matter?"
This is the benefit of being a leader.
When a problem is raised, the people below can come up with solutions first, without having to risk speaking first.
Xu Changqing was nominally at the same level as Fu Yuzhi, and there was no distinction between big and small. However, since Shangshu Sheng was born with the authority to co-lead the three provinces, Xu Changqing could only be demoted to half the rank of Fu Yuzhi.
