Chapter 51: Foolish Dreams
Under Qin Keke's coercion and temptation, Lin Zhi didn't tell the truth, and only made Coco half angry, but fortunately, Lin Zhi knew how to make her happy. The two pushed and shoved and went to the back garden, and when they came back, Caicai saw Coco in a happy mood, and Lin Zhi obediently followed behind and made a few grimaces at her back. Mo Caicai's eyes straightened, and he thought, 'Lin Zhi is also a god, and it is really a perfect match.' ’
After saying a few words, Lin Ye came over with Yuan Huan, and there was an obvious look of exhaustion on their faces. Lin Zhi stopped laughing and playing with Coco, he looked at the faces of the two, and estimated that things might not be so easy. So he walked out of the study and called the guard outside the door, "Tell the kitchen to get some delicious and simple dishes, and get the back end into the gazebo, no one is allowed to approach the study without my permission." ”
The guards nodded frequently, then quickly retreated.
Lin Zhi turned around and entered the study after giving the order, only to hear Lin Ye asking about Caicai Longjin's situation.
"Can Long'er be arranged?"
"Well, don't worry, he'll be staying with the queen these days. ”
"Good. Although Lin Ye's response was faint, it could be seen that his smile at Mo Caicai was warm, but Caicai looked at him distressedly and asked, "Are you tired?"
"Alas, my Yuan Huan has seen Xu Huaide's ability. Lin Ye didn't answer in a hurry, but Yuan Huan answered, he already had a look that captivated the country and the city, and now his face was a little pale, and he looked even more delicate and graceful. If it weren't for being together every day, the few people would have been immune to his beauty, and with his current appearance, I'm afraid they wouldn't all have to covet Yuan Huan.
Mo Caicai spared her hair. At one point, I wondered if I had given Lin Ye fake medicine. When she and Huanhuan went to interrogate Axi, they were just listening to stories there, and the two of them were almost eating melon seeds......
"Don't doubt that what you gave me is fake, that medicine is genuine. Lin Ye saw the doubts in Caicai's heart, he sighed, and glanced at Yuan Huan, Yuan Huan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't want to say anything. Lin Ye had to pour himself a cup of tea, but they didn't speak, and their eyes were all on him. He drank the tea in the cup with a sigh, and then said slowly: "Huanhuan will feed Xu Huaide the elixir, and we will sit there and wait for him to speak." After a while, he did tell everything. He said that he did not regret what he had done, he gave those children the opportunity to be masters, and those who were smart could naturally grasp it, and those who were born stupid could not blame him. The people he invited had also accepted bribes from him before, but he was too stupid to know that in addition to money, it was actually more important to grasp that person's weaknesses and preferences. He tried to give all kinds of gifts to those people, sometimes even women, or men. But for a long time. He found that the tastes of those people were becoming more and more sophisticated. In order to get better resources and support, he began to think about how he could feed those people. At this point, Lin Ye stopped, and he seemed to be thinking about something more. Caicai and several people frowned, Lin Zhi had just spoken, but was stopped by Yuan Huan, Yuan Huan told them to calm down for a while, the 'torture' in the soul of this day was enough for Lin Ye to reminisce.
Lin Ye shook his head, it seemed that his thoughts had been sorted out, so he saw him take a sip of water, and continued, "Xu Huaide once went to visit his son Xu Changsong, who was an official in Qicheng, and the father and son were walking by the woods outside the city. Bullying a young child. The father and son were stunned on the spot, especially Xu Huaide, he remembered the scene in front of him deeply, and after going back, he went to the most popular brothel in the royal city, and he asked the boss if there was any kind of affair between a man and a boy? The boss told him that there had been many years ago, but it was expressly forbidden, and he would be arrested and sent to prison for doing that kind of thing, not to mention that this is still the royal city. Having said that, in Xu Huaide's eyes, isn't this the way to satisfy those people. His action was very fast, and before he knew whether those people could accept it, he first found a few girls and boys who were good-looking and obedient and sensible, and put them in his own house, and then invited officials who were familiar with him to come and drink, and then let them choose the children they liked. After they finished their work, Xu Huaide asked them how they felt, and after hearing that they all felt good, he began to set up a good hall to take in the children. He came into contact with other people through the few people he had experienced beforehand, and Xu Huaide naturally did all this in order to use the relationship between those people in the court to break through all obstacles for him. They are mutually beneficial, and both parties are satisfied with the way they work together. ”
"Damn! these scumbags!" Lin Zhi couldn't help but scold, "Some of them are fathers, how can they be so mad?!"
Lin Ye sighed and waved his hand, "You may still want to curse later, don't worry." Do you think Huanhuan and I went there, and our ears were poisoned. I really should have changed you..."
"Yes, change me, Xu Huaide will be killed by me before he finishes speaking. ”
What Lin Zhi said was not an exaggeration, even Mo Caicai regretted that he didn't sprinkle some other poisonous powder in the magic medicine that could pierce his intestines.
"I'll continue to talk about the next thing, Lin Ye, you can rest for a while. Yuan Huan collected the mood that had been wandering just now, and continued to replace Lin Ye: "At that time, Lin Ye asked him, your official position has not been promoted, what do you want to contact so many dignitaries and nobles, Xu Huaide said that this is not for himself, this is to share the worries of the imperial court." We didn't expect him to say such a thing, and I wondered if the medicine given by Caicai was a half-finished product with only a slight effect. Then Xu Huaide saw that we didn't believe it, so he continued, his ideal is to think that the court is even the only instrument, there will be no disputes above the court, and everyone's opinions are very unified, so that a lot of trouble will be avoided, and our human race will be even stronger enough to be like the ancient god dragon clan. He is such a foolish dream, I don't have eyes to see. Lin Ye plucked up the courage to ask him again why he felt that he could make the entire court not have contradictory opinions by himself. Xu Huaide said that the reason why the ministers put forward different opinions is because they all have their own supporters, and if they all support the same person, then naturally there will be no opposition in it. If this person only listens to the king, it will be even more perfect. After he entered the officialdom, he discovered this, so he took every opportunity to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion and became a staff member of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In his eyes, Prime Minister Qin is the only minister in this court who obeys the orders of the current king. That's exactly what he needs. According to his own words, he did so many things to entrap officials in order to pave the way for the prime minister. The flatter the pavement, the more satisfied his heart will be. The children who provide those people with fun are just one of his pawns, he has not seen people in the court confront the prime minister, those people rely on themselves to be important ministers and old ministers, and they will not pay attention to petty officials like him at all, and his next step is the next generation and relatives of those old ministers. Xu Huaide's research on the weaknesses of human nature is really thorough. ”
Knowing that his father was kept in the dark and didn't know it, Qin Keke really quietly let go of the restless emotions of the past few days. But when she heard that Xu Huaide had been using Qin Xiang from the beginning, her anger came up.
"Is he still at my house? I'm going to chop him up now!"
Seeing Coco's angry appearance, Lin Zhi persuaded again and again: "If he dies, you don't need to go in person, so as not to dirty your hands." Besides, if you chop him up, your father will not be able to explain to his father why he is in such a hurry to kill people, it is obviously a very simple matter, and it will not be fun to be troubled by you. ”
When Coco heard this, he had no choice but to give up, and he puffed and puffed for several cups of tea.
"This Xu Huaide's way of thinking is really different. Mo Caicai touched his chin, his face full of incredulity.
"Both of us were also shocked at the time, and I also asked him, don't you be an official for yourself?" Yuan Huan blinked, and his face had returned to normal.
Mo Caicai asked curiously, "Say it quickly." Is he really that selfless?"
"Tut-tut.." Yuan Huan smashed his teeth twice, and his phoenix eyes narrowed, "He told us that he has had this desire since he was a child, not to be a person above ten thousand people, but to help those who are above ten thousand people unify ten thousand people." So he worked hard towards this goal, no matter what method he used, he wanted to fulfill his dream. If you want to say that he is selfless, you can count it. But how do I think it's difficult for him to be a strong man. ”
"I agree with Huanhuan's last sentence, every dynasty has a court meeting, and there must be a dispute in every court, and there must be arguments, so that the mind of being a king will be clearer and his judgment will become wise. If there is always one voice underneath, or the kind of king who says whatever he says, then he still has to do what the court and the ministers do. This Xu Huaide didn't understand the true meaning of being a courtier at all, he was not worthy of being an official at all. He's simply selfish!"
Mo Caicai's impassioned remarks made several people present look at her in unison. They looked at it a little unnaturally and asked, "What's wrong?
"No, you're right. Lin Ye came back to his senses and gave her an approving look.
Everyone else nodded and said tacitly, "Yes, you're right." ”
Mo Caicai shrugged her shoulders with a smile, she noticed that Lin Ye's face was still not very good-looking, so she wondered if he was hungry, and then she said to them: "It's not too early, why don't you go eat and then continue?"
A few people didn't feel anything before, but when Mo Caicai said this, they all felt a little empty in their stomachs. Lin Zhi beckoned them to eat first, he had already ordered, and now they should all be ready.
On their way to the pavilion, Lin Ye and Caicai walked at the back, Lin Ye naturally held Caicai's hand, and asked her as she walked, "On the way back, did Long'er lose his temper with you?
Caicai smiled, what grievances can she suffer, she can still be angry with a little milk baby...
"Well, Long'er wants to ride with you, you ignore him, he is unhappy, he can't be angry with Coco, that can only be done to me. However, I didn't get angry with him, and I spanked him twice. ”
"Oh, hehehe, you're going to hit him? I thought it was too late for you to feel distressed. It seems that you are not a loving mother, and he will certainly not be a loser. ”
"That's inevitable, how can a man not follow the rules. ”
"Listen to you, that is. ”
"You listen to me too?"
"Why not?"
"Wow... Why don't you kiss me now?"
“.....”
"Didn't you say that they all listened to me?"
“.....”
"Don't go faster and faster, you wait for me......"
Coco in front of them saw that Lin Ye, who had been falling behind them, quickly caught up with them, and kept speeding up, and he followed closely behind Mo Caicai...
