have something to say

When Xiao Jianshen returned to the bedroom through the secret passage again, Luo Shouning, who had been staying here all this time, came forward with a completely different expression from before.

But when he saw another person behind Xiao Jianshen who had never seen him before, his completely different expression froze for a moment, and after a moment of froze, he slowly twisted, probably trying to make an expression similar to a smile: "Your Highness ..." He didn't know how to address the people behind.

Xiao Jian deeply explained his cousin's encirclement: "Just call him Dianjun."

"..." Luo Shouning.What the hell is it called.

"..." Fu Tinghuan.He squinted at Xiao Jianshen and said with a smile, "My surname is Fu."

"So it was Mr. Fu in person." Luo Shouning breathed a sigh of relief and said politely.After speaking, he immediately looked at Xiao Jianshen.

At this time, Fu Tinghuan had already lazily walked to the tea table and poured himself a cup of tea, but this cup of cold tea didn't seem to satisfy him, as soon as he touched his lips, he was knocked hard on the table, almost giving the cup and the table to him. It's gone!

Because of the sudden loud noise, Luo Shouning glanced outside in shock: No matter what, Xiao Jianshen is still pretending to be dead!

When he saw that there was no movement outside due to the loud noise, he turned his head and glanced at Fu Tinghuan again, signaling him to be careful.

Of course he was slashed afterwards.

Xiao Jianshen also said: "Don't worry about him, he is not feeling well now that his skill has been blocked. If you want to see him again, he should shoot a knife."

"..." Luo Shouning, he almost asked the question "Why are you so clear?"But he calmed down a moment, realizing that there was no need to dwell on these meaningless minutiae now, and he turned to say what he wanted to say quickly.

As for Fu Tinghuan who was standing next to him, was he trustworthy?Judging from Xiao Jianshen's behavior of being so familiar with the other party and bringing him to the palace, he must be more trustworthy!

Fu Tinghuan listened to the conversation between the two of them.

The closed life of several days was broken at this time, and he gradually knew what happened on the ground when he was locked up underground: the fake account books had fallen into the hands of Liang Quanliu; He was in a coma for more than a day, and he was about to die; after Liang Quanliu got the ledger, he launched an attack immediately, and immediately targeted several high-ranking ministers in the court. At the same time, after the Liang Party launched an attack, the Liang Party headed by Liang Quanliu also united with half of the ministers in the court, and the court jointly kneeled down to ask the emperor of the harem to reassert the throne when the prince was in a coma and regain power.

After finishing speaking, Fu Tinghuan heard Luo Shouning ask Xiao Jianshen in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the situation is on the verge of breaking out. Shall we immediately use the Tiger Talisman to summon the imperial guards of the capital?"

This makes sense.Fu Tinghuan thought casually, this is the right time to cut vegetables and cut melons, so that all the disobedient people will be killed, so that they can have a clean life!

But Xiao Jianshen said: "Isn't mobilizing the guards at this time a failure? Don't be busy, let them go."

Luo Shouning hesitated to speak.

Xiao Jianshen said quickly: "Today, what is there to say? Continue."

"I have received the news that some of our people are contacting the Liang party. It seems that they no longer hesitate and have completely fallen over..." Luo Shouning said.

Fu Tinghuan raised his brows, and a murderous intent flashed between his brows: The traitor should be hacked into pieces to vent his hatred!

"As expected." Xiao Jianshen said calmly, "Is there anything else?"

Perhaps it was because Xiao Jianshen's emotions didn't fluctuate at all, and Luo Shouning also felt that his surprise and first glance were too ugly, so he quickly calmed down and said, "There is nothing else. Your Highness is still at this moment—" He glanced at the bed .

"According to the speed of Liangquan's flow, it won't take too long. It will take another three to five days." Xiao Jianshen said.

"I understand." Luo Shouning got the idea now, cupped his hands again, and walked out.

At this time, Xiao Jianshen walked towards the seat where Fu Tinghuan was sitting.He took the pot of cold tea on the tea table, and with a movement in his hand, the cold tea in his hand became hot again. He poured another cup of tea for Fu Tinghuan, raised his hand again, and slowly wiped it away with his fingers. With a killing intent between the brows of the other party, he said: "I told you earlier, if you want to follow me and watch all this, you will inevitably feel angry. It's better not to have martial arts."

Fu Tinghuan turned his face slightly, and it was fine if he didn't avoid Xiao Jianshen's finger between his eyebrows.Following the other party's words, he remembered the last conversation between the two in the underground passage fifteen minutes ago.

On the passage wall made of bluestone, there is a dragon pattern pedestal with torches every ten steps, but it is not the torches in the pedestals that illuminate the long passage, but the night pearl inlaid on the top of the stone wall.

These luminous pearls are the size of an adult's fist, and they are casually embedded in the stone wall, making them the most common lighting tools.

Under such dim light, after Fu Tinghuan asked something, Xiao Jianshen's brows were clear.

He looked at Fu Tinghuan quietly for a while: "...understand me?" He paused, then said suddenly, "Since you think you don't understand me, why don't you follow me for a while?"

Fu Tinghuan was startled.

Xiao Jianshen saw that the other party was interested, so he went on talking: "It just so happens that these few days are another great event in the past three years in the capital. You can see many things that you can't normally see. There is only one thing, these things often make people's hearts go away. Killing intent. And I don't want to have any more disputes with you, so if you want to follow me, you must temporarily seal your skills. And I will be responsible for your safety. I will go in and out with you, sit and lie down together."

Fu Tinghuan's breathing was almost suffocated.

This is like the temptation of demons and goblins. If you make a mistake, you will fall into many traps and go deep into purgatory.

But there are countless people in this world—countless people, stepping forward one after another, enjoying it.

He didn't really decide whether to accept this temptation, Xiao Jianshen had already raised his hand to help him make a decision.

Xiao Jian sealed Fu Tinghuan's skill deeply, as fast as he had already made such a decision when he first proposed it.Then he brought people through the underground mechanism and appeared in the bedroom. After listening to Luo Shouning's words, he sat opposite Fu Tinghuan and wiped away the hostility that had just grown between the other's brows.

It's amazing.This bit of hostility is as gentle as ice and snow, and as gentle as water.

Xiao Jianshen said: "This is just the beginning. Anyway, I will always win in the end." He took it for granted that he was almost careless, "It has been like this since childhood."

"But sometimes," Xiao Jianshen said, "winning brings more than just joy—"

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Liang Quanliu deserves to be the chief assistant of the Three Dynasties.Ever since the attack on the first day of the court meeting, Liang Quanliu had not stopped for a moment, and he invited the emperor to come out of the palace to ascend the throne; The decree was to control the actions of a minister in the court. In an instant, the tigers in Beijing and China were dispatched one after another, and crying and shouting were heard in every alley and street. When the dust settled in the middle of the night, there were a total of twelve ministers, almost half of the court Quantity; Liang Quanliu also used this "unheard and unheard case" as an excuse to hold the original five-day court meeting for two consecutive days, and invited the emperor out of the palace three times out of the two days, and waited for the third day—— That is to say, when the dynasty reopened for the fourth consecutive day, the emperor sat on the throne that should have belonged to him for the first time in three years.

Civil and military officials bowed down and bowed again, shouting long live.

The emperor on the throne also sighed leisurely, and then, like thunder and lightning, he checked the number of private acres of the ministers under control, and then checked whether these acres were involved in private activities and murders.

And these were all things that Xiao Jianshen, who was lying on the bed at this time, should have done.

Chaos is just like what the emperor said three years ago, it rises from the ground.

All the officials are self-indulgent and indifferent to politics. Many officials who originally belonged to Xiao Jianshen's side firstly saw the situation thoroughly, and secondly, they were dissatisfied with Xiao Jianshen's actions.

The people whispered to each other and complained.They only knew that the situation suddenly became chaotic, the price of vegetables and meat was rising day by day, and the streets and alleys were full of dust and smoke from the tiger riding away.Once the ruler cannot give ordinary people a quiet and peaceful environment, he will be limited to endless verbal criticism.

No one will study the truth behind the scenes.

Those who will benefit will not.

A small oil car was parked at the corner of the street, and the driver slowly drove to the middle of the road after the tiger riders who were frantically waving their whips galloped by.

The place where this car was parked was just under a restaurant, the small vendors on the left and right sides, and the scholar who scolded Fang Qiu in the restaurant, said in a loud voice: "What happened three years ago is about to come out again."

"That's right, the emperor died three years ago because of a piece of cloth; now those senior officials in the court will die because of whether their land is ten mu or fifteen mu?"

"Scary! Ten mu and fifteen mu? Landlords with a little extra money at home don't have more than this amount?"

"The crown prince also can't tell the priorities. How come he doesn't know how to get rid of a few more landlords, and what's the use of grabbing the ten and fifteen acres of the imperial court official's house? Could it be possible to let him have an extra dish on the table every day? Come?"

"Look, I don't think this farce will last long. The emperor also came out at this time. I heard that the prince is seriously ill in bed. I guess it was to send the prince off for the last time. Many people were involved. When they leave, everyone can start again." Quiet-"

There was a muffled sound in the ordinary green oil carriage. The muffled sound seemed to be blocked by something. It was just a small sound, which did not attract anyone's attention on the noisy street at all.Then the carriage drove out of this street, and a voice came from the carriage just now: "How hateful——"

Inside the carriage, Fu Tinghuan and Xiao Jianshen sat facing each other.Just now Fu Tinghuan's punch was aimed at the wall of the car, but Xiao Jianshen held it in his hand quickly, and he still hasn't let go.

"What's so hateful?" Xiao Jianshen said.

Fu Tinghuan cast his flickering eyes on Xiao Jianshen: "What are you doing?"

"Re-divide the fields." Xiao Jianshen said.

"Just for those people outside?" Fu Tinghuan asked.

"How many people did you see?" Xiao Jianshen asked back, and then he didn't wait for Fu Tinghuan to answer, and said, "A person from the capital? But the world is so big, compared with the capital, it's just a drop in the ocean."

"You mean that when I see the attitude of the people in the capital, I feel like I've seen the attitude of the people in the world?" Fu Tinghuan sneered, and then sharply retorted, "Other than the people in the capital, the others don't know what happened, nor do they know what happened. What is the result, not knowing what you have done and what others have done, how ignorant, how stupid!"

He paused, looked at Xiao Jianshen, and said the same words as the emperor who died in front of Xiao Jianshen three years ago, even more cruelly: "——they can only be controlled, and only deserve to be controlled."

Xiao Jianshen did not argue with Fu Tinghuan.He patted the opponent's hand as if to appease a little tiger showing its sharp claws, but if he couldn't, he shook the opponent's hand again.

The strength in Fu Tinghuan's palms relaxed.

Xiao Jianshen softened the other's stiff fingers one by one: "There are enough solitary things, do you want to start asking about them one by one in the coming year?"

Fu Tinghuan: "..."

"You don't care." He finally calmed down and looked at Xiao Jianshen carefully, as if he was seeing him for the first time, "You need the country and the people to be safe, so you do this; you don't need the people to sing praises for you, so you never Caring about what they say about you...the country and people's peace you expect is only what you need, not anything else."

"Xiao Jianshen, how can you be so... ruthless?"

Xiao Jian raised his eyebrows deeply.He looked at Fu Tinghuan for a moment, and replied: "You always have such misunderstandings. When you do things for the people alone, you feel lonely and pity them, have mercy on them, and love them. But in fact, Guotai Minan doesn't need love, compassion, and Mercy. We only need the ability and skill to make the country safe and the people peaceful.”

At the same time, Liang Quanliu was sitting in the shabby room facing Hubu Shangshu Wang Xuji.

These two people were in the same year and the same class, and they should have been a natural alliance. In fact, in the political careers of these two people, they did have alliances more than once, and they were even close friends who were like-minded.However, many things can happen in a person's life. The longing for the number one for too many years and the gradually formed differences in ideas still make the two people diverge in their ways and go further and further apart.

To this day, Liang Quanliu has forgotten how long he has not sat with the other party.

And Wang Xuji still remembers, he replied: "It has been 13 years and five months."

"I still remember that day when you and I were named on the Gold List, we were full of energy, we made an appointment to show off our ambitions, and the government was clear..." Liang Quanliu said, "I didn't expect it to be today."

"But I have already forgotten." Wang Xuji said indifferently.

Liang Quanliu smiled, and he poured a cup of thick tea for Wang Xuji, which was also his habit all along.Over the years, he has used this habit to remind himself not to forget the beginning: "Master Wang, you are the Minister of the Household Department, and you are in charge of the world's money and food. Everyone will forgive you; but if you think about it, I'm afraid it won't count that people in your hometown occupied land for land, forcing more than 100 people from a business to commit suicide..."

Wang Xuji has been listening quietly.

Liang Quanliu said again at this time: "I believe you have no knowledge of this matter."

"Oh?" Wang Xuji.

"But in the whole world, are there still few high-ranking officials who are defeated because of their relatives? Your lord king is as hard as a turtle shell. As a human being, you have weaknesses, and your weaknesses are beyond the reach of your relatives!" Liang Quanliu explain.

At this time, Wang Xuji asked: "Why is Master Liang so confident? Master Liang thinks that if he can find out a large amount of land deeds in the hands of my relatives, he will have ironclad evidence?"

"No, Mr. Liang is so smart, so of course he wouldn't come to a conclusion so easily." Wang Xuji said, "Master Liang just believes that the distance between the capital and the place is enough for Mr. Liang to be right or wrong. It can be done right; no matter it is true or not, it can also be done. Once it is done, Mr. Liang is really a big shot, and there must be no one in this world who can shake you Status. When the time comes, what is right and what is wrong, naturally you have the final say. At that time, if you say that you are greedy for the land, I will be greedy for the land. If you say that the prince misunderstood me and killed the loyal minister by mistake, then the prince misunderstood me. Kill loyal ministers by mistake."

Liang Quanliu looked at Wang Xuji calmly.

Wang Xuji said again: "But Master Liang, have you ever thought in the middle of the night that someone like His Royal Highness, who was born as a real dragon and has power over the world, can't stop the people's mouths; but you Liang Quanliu, who was born as a mountain villager, Although you are the chief assistant, you are already old, and you still want fame and fortune... How much appetite do you have, can you eat all of these? Or do you think that you are already more unpredictable than the prince?"

"Ridiculous." Liang Quan said, "Have you been scared out of your wits by a yellow-mouthed kid?"

"The absurdity is obviously you." Wang Xuji said, "You have long been confused by the position of chief assistant, and you are no longer the number one scholar with a seven-holed and exquisite heart! The death of the emperor three years ago, the crown prince's death three years ago In exchange for the contempt of the whole court for being a good man and brutal self-staining reputation, but after three years, he took out the account books of the world's fields. This is a decisive move to win thousands of miles, but it can't wake you up like Huang Zhong Dalu! You and I will! If we don’t agree with each other, we have already cut off our robes and judged justice, and there is nothing to say! Master Liang, go out, I, Wang, stand upright, and sit here, waiting for the final result!"

And the end result came sooner than anyone expected.

The case of Wang Xuji is still under investigation, and there are already people who have come to the capital to beat drums and cry for injustice.This commoner is the patriarch of the Wang clan in Wang Xuji's hometown.The patriarch is supposed to have no official or job, and he has no influence on the progress of the case at all, but at this time the other party has produced a very critical piece of evidence.That is, the family of the suicide businessman has the same surname as Wang, not the same surname, but the same family.

Under the rule of the imperial court, the power of the head of the village and the patriarch of a large clan is extraordinary among neighboring clans.

Just as women who have lost their virginity can be executed under the agreement of the village without any concern, the property of members of the clan may not be considered the property of the whole clan, but it must be affected to a certain extent.

The fields in the hands of merchant Wang are different. These fields are not accumulated by merchant Wang from foreign business, but obtained by defrauding people of the same clan for many years.After the incident, the whole clan was furious, and the patriarch took back the land and expelled the Wang merchant's family from the clan.It's just that the imperial court has always had an example of an official's land tax exemption, so from the perspective of outsiders, it was Wang Xuji's relatives who committed the murder of 120 family members in order to fight for the land, and only then did the "Shangshu of the Ministry of Households fight for the land case" "One thing.

But again, this is only the beginning, not the end.

When Wang Xuji's case came to an end, the other eleven people under control were under investigation at the same time, but those under investigation were not only these eleven people, but also many members of the Liang Party.These Liang Party members were guarded by wolf-like guards while they were still asleep, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment investigated them one by one according to the procedure.

After all, there are only a few people like Wang Xuji.As the investigation progressed, the appalling numbers of fields that were brought under the names of these people were revealed one by one, triggering earthquake-like oscillations between the ruling and opposition parties.

Liang Quanliu was just like Wang Xuji, with clean sleeves and often wearing patches on his official robes. However, officials who were close to him were dismissed one after another. Guard up.

At this time, the emperor had just left the harem one day before.

One day before, he was high-spirited and full of family and country in his heart; one day later, he was still sitting on the throne of the golden palace, but there were only a handful of important officials under his rank, and compared to a day ago, all of them had changed. !

The emperor gritted his teeth and issued a few orders. Under the golden seal of the imperial pen, the imperial decree could not come out of the court.

His hands and feet trembled, his body trembled, until finally, he spit out a mouthful of blood and fell on his back!

But at this time, only Eunuch Wan, beside him, was nervous and worried about the emperor. All the ministers looked at each other and kept silent: No one could have known from the beginning that things would develop to this point overnight!In order to attack the prince's influence, Liang Quanliu encircled and purged all the prince's disciples and the Liang party's political enemies, almost involving people from half the dynasty; The iron case, at this time, the direction of the wind reversed for no reason. Overnight, the Liang Party was brought under control, and a large number of fields under the names of most of its members were exposed.

A case of land disputes involved the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty, but the capital did not paralyze the turmoil. The common people saw the list of land owned by the officials announced one by one at the imperial list, and they were noisy and enthusiastic.

Under such circumstances, the officials who were lucky enough to be able to stand on top of the Golden Temple dared not say a word or do a single thing even though they had many thoughts in their minds.

It was at this time that Xiao Jianshen slept in the Prince's East Palace.

Zhuang Wang, who had come with Liang Quanliu a few days ago, was still standing in front of Prince Xiao Jianshen's bed, but Liang Quanliu, who had stood next to Zhuang Wang last time, had disappeared.

Xiao Jianshen, who was supposed to be in a coma, drank a cup of tea under Wang Ranggong's attentive service.He said to Zhuang Wang: "The plan for the farmland is the plan for a hundred years. Although Gu has the intention to spread the wind from top to bottom, he has to care about the reaction of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Fortunately, Liang Shoufu knows Gu's intentions, and he is determined and dares to be a man. First, take down and clean up half of the courtiers in the battle of 'struggling for the land', so as to solve Gu's hidden worries."

"However, no one is perfect. Although the first assistant is devoted to the public, he can't see through the people around him. This is how he has regrets today. However, as a king alone, although he has no merit for the community and no virtue for the people, he dare not be unfair. Two words."

"Liang Shoufu has merits and demerits, and the merits are not worth the merits. The reason is that he is the elder of the three dynasties. He died alone with his whole body, so that his relatives and family members will not be harmed."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jianshen looked at King Zhuang in front of him: "The emperor's uncle has always been admired by the scholars of the world, and Liang Shoufu is an example for the world's scholars. Such a resolution... What does the emperor think? Is there anything to teach?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly smiled again, and said: "Forget it, there are only the emperor and Gu here, and Gu will not talk to the emperor about these things surrounded by clouds and mists. Liang Quanliu can't rely on the body of the veteran of the three dynasties and the soldiers of the world." The heart of the son, at this time, is the sharp sword of the solitary, and half of the people under the solitary command will die, and it will be considered a worthy death, which makes people happy."

"I don't know if Uncle Huang has ever met such a person and known such—joy."

Zhuang Wang was in a cold sweat, his fingers trembled a little, not just his fingers, his whole body trembled a little.

He clasped his hands tightly, bowed to the ground, and only replied to the previous "seeing the teaching": "Your Highness has far-reaching wisdom, and it is beyond the ability of the ministers to see what happens...the minister has no doubts."

At this point, King Zhuang did not dare to stay any longer, and left in a hurry. Wang Ranggong, who was reserved before King Zhuang, also quietly retreated at this time, and Xiao Jianshen was the only one left in the hall, and another person who did not appear People before people.

Xiao Jianshen looked behind the tent: "Now you can come out, how do you feel? You won't be angry anymore, right?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person coming out from the tent, with a tall body and beautiful eyes, it was Fu Tinghuan!
