It is only the third generation of the British government to Fang Huairui's generation.

The first British Duke was Fang Huairui's grandfather. At that time, his grandfather rebelled with Emperor Taizu and won the title of Duke with his outstanding military achievements.

Emperor Taizu had a big heart, he was not like those tyrants who were cunning and lackeys in history, and they shared the great scene with the founding heroes like them.

There are four tiger talismans in the Dajing Dynasty, which are in the hands of the four princes.

This is the biggest bargaining chip he can take out, and it is also the greatest sincerity.

Fang Huairui knelt on the gold brick floor, keeping his hands in a talisman motionless.

Inside the East Nuan Pavilion, there was complete silence.

Time passed very slowly at this time.

Fang Huairui could hear his heartbeat echoing in his ears like a drum, and he could hear the ticking sound of the kettle leak next to him.

After a while, he felt a lightness in his hand, and his heart relaxed accordingly.

Chu Yi picked up the two-inch tiger talisman from Fang Huairui's hand, played with it casually, and said indifferently: "Emperor Taizu once said: There is no doubt about employing people."

"Taizu Yi Bo Yuntian trusted all the soldiers who followed him to conquer the world to be his brothers and comrades."

In this life of Taizu, he used this great scene and prosperity to prove his love and righteousness.

"..." Fang Huairui raised his head in bewilderment, wondering what the eldest prince meant by this.

Could it be that the eldest prince is very satisfied with his surrender, that he kept this tiger amulet?

Chu Yi looked down at Fang Huairui who was kneeling on the ground, and Yu Feng turned around again: "But he also said that suspects don't need it."

He spoke the last four words quite slowly, one word at a time.

Chu Yi stared firmly into Fang Huairui's eyes, and asked slowly, "Do you understand what I mean?"

When he said this, the smile on his face had already subsided, not like his usual gentleness, but a cold breath.

Fang Huairui's lips moved slightly, and the beard on his face also trembled. Once again, he felt the faint coercion from the seemingly gentle and harmless young man in front of him.

Pounding!

Fang Huairui's heartbeat continued to speed up.

The meaning of the eldest prince's words could not be more clear.

Fang Huairui swallowed, cold sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead, and his half-down eyes fell on the three-legged nine-dragon sapphire incense burner in the corner.

This is the incense burner used in the past.

A wisp of green smoke curled up from the incense burner, Fang Huairui felt as if he was blinded by the smoke, the corners of his eyes were dry and unbearable, and his mood was fluctuating.

Since Jinshang ascended the throne, in the face of the empress dowager and Kang Wang's mother and son's pressing on Jinshang, most of the nobles stood by and watched, and no one was willing to stand in line easily.

After all, Kang Wang is also the blood of the Taizu. If he is not afraid of the aristocratic family and takes their place, it does not make any difference to them who is sitting in that position.

They are loyal to the Dajing Dynasty, but they are not only loyal to the present.

To put it more bluntly, it's a fool's errand, and the nobles, including myself, will sway for their own interests at any time.

Since they were not loyal to Jinshang, how could Jinshang and the First Prince "believe" them.

Suspect, no need.

Fang Huairui chewed on Chu Yi's words repeatedly, his heart sank completely, as if immersed in a pool of icy cold water.

Chu Yi didn't look at Fang Huairui, his eyes fell on the bronze tiger amulet between his fingers, he shook it, and put it completely in his palm.

This is military power!

Inside the East Nuan Pavilion, it was extremely quiet.

Fang Huairui knelt on the ground and didn't move for a long time, until his knees were slightly numb, and the shirt on his back was already wet with sweat.

After a while, Chu Yi's low voice sounded again in front of him: "Yu Si and Shangqing will be killed this afternoon, Fang Huairui, are you willing to be the supervisor?"

Fang Huairui looked up at Chu Yi again in astonishment.

Looking from bottom to top, when he glanced over the chessboard, he saw a right hand with slender fingers gently tapping the table, holding the tiger talisman he was all too familiar with.

"Tut Tuk."

The knuckle tapping sound was very slight.

But to Fang Huairui's ears, it was like a life-threatening talisman, and it was like the black and white impermanent soul-holding chain.

Supervising and beheading Yu Si...

Since the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, those aristocratic families have given countless instructions to the emperor about the Yu family's affairs, but the emperor has always ignored them and avoided all requests for an interview.

Now that the emperor wants to bypass the family and execute Yu Si directly, it is conceivable that the family will inevitably cause trouble.

And behind the aristocratic family is King Kang.

The eldest prince's thoughts are clearly revealed, this is to make him... no, to force him to make a choice.

Just thinking about it, Fang Huairui felt a sense of suffocation oppressing his chest.

This is a gamble!

In the past, he had surrendered his sincerity to the First Prince and offended King Kang a few times, but in the final analysis he did not tear himself apart.

With the status of the British government, even if Chu Yi lost the battle for imperial power, King Kang would not dare to touch the British government, and even tried to appease him in a friendly voice.

But once he accepts this job today, it will be tantamount to standing on the opposite side of King Kang in public.

This is clearly pushing him out and being a target and a knife.

After today, the first person King Kang will deal with is Fang Huairui.

Chu Yi has always been patient, even if he didn't look at Fang Huairui, he could guess the other party's struggle at the moment.

He didn't rush, and leisurely picked up another white piece from the chess box, and dropped it casually.

The sound of falling is clear and crisp, one after another.

thumping! thumping! thumping!

Before he knew it, Fang Huairui's heartbeat was in sync with the rhythm of the ball.

Fang Huairui's brows jumped up every time there was a sound of falling.

He clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm himself down.

Now that the eldest prince is willing to let him be the supervisor, it means that as long as he is wholeheartedly loyal to the emperor and the eldest prince, their British government will be preserved, and they will not be held accountable for the Yu family's conspiracy.

If the eldest prince ascends to the ninety-five position in the future, the British government will be his confidant.

A chance to take it to the next level.

It was obvious how he should choose.

When the decision surfaced in his heart, Fang Huairui let out a long breath.

At this moment, I suddenly felt the tragedy and pride of my grandfather's uprising with Emperor Taizu.

In the troubled times, who can really stay out of it.

The same is true now.

Two tigers are fighting, how can the fierce tiger allow them to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!

Fang Huairui finally moved, lowered his upper body, and kowtowed heavily to Chu Yi.

"The minister takes orders."

These three words were spoken forcefully and loudly.

His forehead touched the cold ground almost devoutly, and he knelt down on the ground.

In his heart, there is both the relief that the dust has settled, and the solemnity that the rain is about to come.

A burst of light laughter rippling in the air, piercing into Fang Huairui's ears, Fang Huairui finally felt a little relieved.

Chu Yi casually threw the chess piece he picked up just now into the chess box, and said calmly: "Fifty years ago, Fang Ye took the tiger talisman from the Emperor Taizu."

"Whether this Tiger Talisman can return to the British government now depends on you, the Duke."

Fang Huairui's beard twitched violently again when he heard this, and recalled what Chu Yi said just now "do not use suspects", and this time he completely understood.

He immediately expressed his loyalty: "I will definitely not let down the painstaking efforts of His Highness the First Prince."

"Back off." Chu Yi said as he took the tiger talisman in his hand and laid it casually.

When Fang Huairui got up, he couldn't help but look at the tiger charm in Chu Yi's hand with complicated eyes for a moment, as if heartache, reluctance, and self-blame.

Then, he bowed his head and walked out silently.

After leaving Dongnuange, Fang Huairui was already dripping with cold sweat, from his forehead to his neck to his back was all wet.

When the cold wind blew, he shivered from the cold.

He subconsciously touched his empty sleeve pocket, thinking about the tiger talisman he had just handed over for a while, and staring at everything that happened just now.

In fact, from the moment he just handed over the Tiger Talisman, he had already made a decision.

The British government, which has lost its military power, is doomed to go downhill, and from then on it will become an ordinary nobleman, famous but without power.

If Fang Huairui didn't have a trace of blood, he could enjoy the wealth left by his ancestors in peace, but if he still wanted to keep his ancestors' foundation and have ambitions to expand his plans, then he had no other choice at all.

Seeking wealth and wealth is an unchanging truth through the ages.

Fang Huairui couldn't help but turned his head and glanced in the direction of Dongnuange, and while wiping the cold sweat with his cuff, he sighed, convinced in his heart.

In the future, he can no longer be half-hearted, let alone stay aloof and watch the fire from the other side.

What follows is a tough fight.

Since he has accepted this job, then it's not enough to just cut it off, he must do it beautifully, and it can be regarded as his commendation certificate for the First Prince.

After leaving the palace, Fang Huairui took a dozen or so soldiers of the Tianfu Army to the Fusi of Beizhen in person, and asked to see He Lie, the Commander of the Jinyiwei, to show that he was ordered by the First Prince to be the executioner for today's execution.

He Lie had already received a message from the palace, asking people to hand over Yu Si and Shang Qing who were imprisoned in the Imperial Prison to Fang Huairui.

Thanks to his uncle, Fang Huairui visited the legendary imperial prison for the first time in his life.

Jin Yiwei's "prison" is not something that small people like cats and dogs can be imprisoned in. Those who can be imprisoned here must either be of high grade or have committed serious crimes.

In the gloomy cell, Fang Huairui thought ironically.

A Jin Yiwei unlocked the door of one of the cells, and said expressionlessly, "Master, Yu Si is inside."

The man in the cell was standing with his hands behind his back, but when he heard the movement, he turned around quickly.

"Brother-in-law!"

Yu Si, the head of the Yu family, couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw the British Duke, and shouted excitedly.

He has been locked in the cell for seven full days, his hair is still meticulous and neatly combed, but the clothes on his body have become crumpled, exuding a strange smell like pickles.

Even so, Yu Si's waist was still straight, she was both proud and embarrassed, and there was an extreme contradiction in her whole body.

"..." Fang Huairui had one head and two big heads, and his forehead was throbbing.

Now that things have happened, he no longer expects to get the Yu family back, let alone the family head Yu's kinship.

The Yu family is like a greedy leech, which has been sucking the blood of the Fang family all these years.

Yu Si stepped forward excitedly, looked at Fang Huairui with burning eyes, and said, "Did you come to pick me up?"
