Chapter 177: Love Sea Reborn

Drive a famous loyal minister from history out of the court...

No matter how you look at this, it doesn't seem like something a good person does. From the inside out, it smells like a slander and a scolding of thousands of people.

If Zhu Yunwen failed to defend the country in the end, Zhu Di would be happy to cast a kneeling statue as Xiao Fan, with a small sign standing in front of the kneeling statue, detailing the life of Comrade Xiao Fan, a treacherous minister under the foolish emperor, including what evil things he had done, knocking on the widow's door, digging the graves of the dead household, etc., and writing whatever is difficult. Then he would display the kneeling statue publicly and incite the people who are unknown to spit... In history, there was a senior master of the treacherous minister named Qin who was fortunate to enjoy such treatment.

Xiao Fan felt very confused. In later history books, if he, the fourth commander of the Jinyiwei and the ritual guest of the two princesses, really played with some conspiracies and spoiled Huang Zicheng away, what kind of reputation would Xiao Fan leave in the future?

"Are you going to hurry up or not?" Xiao Fan raised his eyes and looked at Cao Yi indecisively.

Cao Yi grinned and said, "I want me to tell you, no matter who he is, I offended me, and I will slash you with one knife! I will wipe him around his neck with a knife. What a bullshit loyal and treacherous minister, and they will all become dead, and the world will be peaceful!"

"But... a hundred years later, what should I do if future generations stand on my grave and scold me? You jump out of the coffin and kill them?"

Cao Yi laughed and said, "At that time, you and I have become a pile of bones. So what if you scold us! We have been reincarnated long ago. Can they chew our birds?"

Xiao Fan glanced at him and said, "Brother Cao, I found that you are a typical person who is not distinguished from good or evil. You only have living people and dead people in your eyes, and there are no good people and bad people..."

Cao Yi said with a stern face: "Luo Li talked for a long time. Should you take down the old guy named Huang?"

Xiao Fan nodded quickly: "Of course!"

Cao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bit of joking looks appeared in his eyes: "Aren't you worried that future generations will call you a traitor?"

Xiao Fan smiled, smiling with emotion: "...A hundred years later, future generations will have their own opinions, loyalty and treason, good and evil, and it will be clear after several generations."

Cao Yi sighed and said, "Yes, if you live for the sake of the false reputation behind you, you will be too tiring to be a human being..."

Xiao Fan looked at him and sighed: "Actually... we are all good people, but unfortunately we only know this fact in this world."

Cao Yi was silent for a while, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "The more you talk, the more you feel sad. A five-foot man, you eat and drink big gulp and sleep when you are full. Why do you think so much bird's business?... Say it, how do you plan to get that old guy Huang Zicheng down?"

Xiao Fan's eyes rolled, and his handsome face showed a long-lost smirk.

"You can't talk about this matter loudly, you can only whisper, come and come over..."

Xiao Fan approached Cao Yi's ear, this, this, this...

After he finished speaking, Cao Yi opened his mouth wide and looked at Xiao Fan incredibly.

"Brother Xiao, your method..."

"How is it? It's enough to get him down?" Xiao Fanjun's face was a little bit lustful.

Cao Yi looked at him deeply and suddenly said, "You just said you are a good person?"

"Yes."

Cao Yi said slowly: "Can you touch your conscience and say again that you are a good person? I like to see you shamelessly."

“…………”

Xiao Fan, who had endured for a long time, finally decided to take the initiative.

In the following days, such a rumor was quietly circulating between the courts and the markets of the capital.

When the emperor ascended the throne, the imperial teacher abducted power. He once made a mistake in his mansion after drinking, saying that he wanted to follow Cao *** in the late Han Dynasty and Cai Jing of the Song Dynasty took advantage of the emperor's young and weakness, and dominated the court with the emperor's respect and control of the government. Anyone who did not understand the rules of the emperor's words and deeds were scolded by the emperor's teacher. The emperor was the common ruler, but from small things to small things to lie down and walk, to national affairs and people's livelihood, they were unable to dominate themselves. All internal and external affairs of the court were determined by the emperor's teacher. The Zhu family had almost become the Huang family!

This rumor is very deadly, especially the last sentence, which is even more deadly.

Rumors are ignorant. This is a very ordinary trick, very technical. However, since ancient times, three people have become tigers, and the words of a person make money. A lie or two people say is naturally a lie, but if it is said by millions of people, the lie becomes the truth. - a very deadly truth.

Since ancient times, which emperor can tolerate his own country and become another family? Regardless of whether this is a rumor or not, I am afraid the emperor will be wary of it.

The rumors rose from the private market and slowly spread to the Golden Hall of the Court within a few days. The ministers of the court were immediately in an uproar. Huang Zicheng's face changed drastically when he heard this. He seemed to have been slapped heavily in the face. He was panicked in the Golden Hall. He brought up this matter in front of Zhu Yunwen and all the civil and military officials in the court. Then he knelt down and sweared, saying that he would never dare to abuse power at all. This heart could be seen by heaven! It showed that his thoughts were not enough. Huang Zicheng burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly in the Golden Hall, saying that in order to avoid dislike power, he was willing to resign and retire without asking about any political affairs.

Zhu Yunwen naturally heard this rumor through the Jinyiwei. After hearing this, he was speechless for a long time and did not say a word for a long time, but his face became a little gloomy.

Facing Huang Zicheng's tears and kowtowed to express his loyalty in the Golden Palace, Zhu Yunwen felt unbearable again, so he comforted him with a few words of gentle words and was determined not to be accurate in his resignation. He said that as soon as I ascended the throne, it was precisely when I needed the assistance of respected old ministers. Mr. Huang was the emperor's teacher. I always knew that Mr. He was loyal and loyal. How could he be suspicious of loyal ministers because of folk rumors...

Huang Zicheng was so grateful, but his attitude was extremely firm and demanded to resign and retire. In order to avoid the suspicion of powerful ministers, Zhu Yunwen refused. The two of them fought the Tai Chi pusher with affection and righteousness in front of all civil and military officials. The civil and military officials were moved by it, and they all praised the lord, sages, ministers and wise men, and the image of enlightenment in the prosperous era...

In the end, Huang Zicheng could not resist Zhu Yunwen's intention to keep him, so he kept him half-rejected.

But Huang Zicheng immediately stood up and volunteered, hoping to share his worries, leave the capital and go north to appease the vassal kings, and convey the emperor's kindness to the vassal kings.

Zhu Yunwen took advantage of the donkey on the slope and said a few hypocritical words, and then agreed to the situation and ordered Huang Zicheng to be the imperial envoy of the court to patrol the northern border on behalf of the emperor, comfort and reward the border troops, and reward the vassal kings. He left Beijing three days later.

Huang Zicheng kowtowed and thanked him in tears, and retreated to the court. After knowing that people's words are fearful, he no longer dared to speak randomly about the affairs of the court.

Zhu Yunwen sat on the dragon chaise, watching Huang Zicheng retreat with a smile. Thinking of the many disrespectful things in front of him in recent days, Zhu Yunwen's heart gradually cast a lingering shadow.

——Mr. Huang... Do you really want to follow Cao***? Then what is himself? Emperor Xian of Han?

An invisible gully appeared quietly in the heart of this young emperor, and it became bigger and bigger...

In the meritorious class, Xiao Fan stood among the Dukes and Bosses of various countries with expressionless faces, but an excited light flashed through his eyes, like a stone thrown into the calm lake, creating ripples.

When he was leaving the court, Zhu Yunwen, amid the sound of shouting for the ministers, turned his hands and expressionlessly, and walked towards the Huagai Palace.

Xiao Fan left the palace, smiled and greeted the ministers and ministers, and also got on the carriage and walked home.

As soon as the curtain of the carriage was put down, Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile smugly on his face.

Today, a seed of doubt was planted in Zhu Yunwen's heart. When this seed gradually took root and sprouted, it was only one last step before he could drive Huang Zicheng out of the court. If Huang Zicheng could come back alive from Peking, what was waiting for him would inevitably be dismissal or demoted. The court in the capital had no place to establish his foothold. The Qingliu ministers who had no leader would have been a mess of sand, which was not worth worrying about.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan clenched his fists excitedly, and he was still one step away. He only needed to burn another fire in the end. Huang Zicheng, a loyal minister who harmed the Jianwen court, could completely bid farewell to the capital court. Xiao Fan had no longer had any restrictions, and his long-considered ideals could be realized one by one.

History will not repeat itself, Zhu Yunwen will not escape for half his life, Jianwen's court will not be a short-lived court...

Everything will change.

——What name should be given to the action to drive Huang Zicheng away?

Let’s fight against pornography.

It was almost noon when Xiao Fan stepped into the front yard, butler Zhang came forward and helped Xiao Fan dust with great respect.

"Master, the prince of Yan is here to visit you today, but you went to court. The prince was invited into the inner hall by his wife. Oh! The brother and sister hugged their heads and cried when they met. I was so sad that I watched it aside..."

Xiao Fan was stunned and then sighed: "It has really made her suffer in the past few years... Is the prince still in the mansion?"

"When the prince saw that the master was not here, he left some gifts and left. The gifts were placed in the front hall and before he could even put them in the warehouse..."

Xiao Fan frowned and said, "Your Highness the King of Yan is very polite... But I am a clean and honest official, how can I accept bribes?"

He waved his hand with a painful expression: "...Butler, return the gift to others."

Butler Zhang was stunned for a moment, nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I will send someone to return it now."

After saying that, Butler Zhang turned around and left.

Xiao Fan was anxious: "Hey! Wait! Are you really going back?"

Butler Zhang turned around and said in a daze: "Master, you said you wanted to pay it back..."

Xiao Fan stamped his feet and said, "I just said that, you took it seriously? Stay! Stay all of them! ... The commander's family has no surplus food."

Butler Zhang: “…………”

As he spoke, Xiao Fan and Butler Zhang had already walked into the front hall. Seeing boxes piled up in all sizes in the front hall. Before the people arrived, a strong smell of copper came to his face. It seemed that Zhu Gaochi had invested a lot this time and the gift he gave was worth a lot of money.

Xiao Fan grinned happily, feeling a little excited, "Who would think that money is too much? Naturally, the more the better. Being a treacherous minister must look like a treacherous minister. Corruption is a bad thing, but the money sent by others is not in vain, and the treacherous minister who does not accept bribes is not a good treacherous minister.

Xiao Fan looked at the boxes of all sizes and felt happy. When he glanced at them, he saw a scroll of paintings on them. Xiao Fan frowned and said, "What are these?"

Butler Zhang hurriedly took out the gift list and checked it carefully, saying, "This is the "Yuntang Rich Picture" by Xu Xi of Southern Tang. Master, this is the original work, it is worth a lot of money..."

At this time, Xiao Fan only had the boxes full of gold and silver in his eyes. He was not a scholar who knew elegance, so he naturally didn't see the original script. He thought about it and said calmly: "You go to the south of the city and give this painting to the shopkeeper Chen of Taifeng Rice Store. I said that I bought it for a thousand gold and gave it to her. Remember not to mention that I gave it to me. Do you know?"

Butler Zhang nodded quickly and agreed.

"... By the way, let her settle the silver for the first half of the year, and half of the ministers in the court were eagerly waiting for the dividends."

Taifeng rice shop in the south of the city.

Chen Ying'er was wearing a plain dress, her black hair was loosely spread on her shoulders, under the hem of her skirt, a pair of snow-white jade feet stepped on the carpet floor with exposed appearance, and her graceful figure had a somewhat lazy and mature style like a cat.

At this moment, she was sitting in front of the bronze mirror in the room, staring at the thin and hazy shadow in the mirror, and two lines of clear tears quietly slid down her face.

Another year of spring has passed, and the gorgeous beauty has disappeared without realizing it.

How many years can a woman spend? This year, she has been in full bloom for a full decade.

That cruel man is now a powerful minister in the court. He looks down at all living beings like a god, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain at the top of the clouds, and his authority is becoming increasingly profound. Did he... Have you ever thought of a miserable woman waiting for his smile and look day and night?

Xiao Fan, are you really so cruel, don’t you even look at me?

In a year, the Chen Family Business has become the richest and most powerful business in the Ming Dynasty. With the secret escort of the Jinyiwei and Chen Ying'er's own continuous efforts, the Chen Family Business now has branched out in the north and south, and its center of gravity has gradually shifted to the north. Various bright and dark businesses such as rice shops, carriages, silk shops, brothels, gambling houses, etc. are like snowballs, and their funds and power are getting bigger and bigger. With the Jinyiwei's golden sign as a backer, the business has developed smoothly. Whether in the officialdom or in the martial arts world, those who dare to cause trouble for the Chen family have been unknowingly cleaned up by the Jinyiwei.

It has to be admitted that in addition to being an official, Xiao Fan also had a good mind for business. As the Chen family's business grew stronger, Xiao Fan promptly divided the shares in the business into more than twenty parts. Except for her and Xiao Fan himself who occupied the majority, the rest were given to some important officials in the court who had great power for free. The ministers and ministers took the shares of the Chen family, and their own interests were closely tied to Xiao Fan and the Chen family. With these court ministers and Jinyiwei as their backing, the development momentum became increasingly unstoppable, and now they can be called wealthy and can be compared to the country.

But... none of these are what Chen Ying'er wants.

What she wanted was very simple, she just wanted to occupy a place in Xiao Fan's heart, and it was enough to stand a cone.

This wish has not been realized for a year.

Xiao Fan was very busy. He was too busy to see her. Even if she had a shameless attitude to go to the yamen to find him, she often lost her time, or hurriedly said a few words when she saw someone and sent her away.

Chen Ying'er was full of resentment, facing the bronze mirror in the sky, and the lonely shadow in the mirror was all alone, and there was nowhere to talk about desolation.

Why do others live happily, but I, Chen Ying'er, are destined to be lonely and floating like duckweed?
