Fan Zeng stood outside Chang'an City, looking at the big city that was high above the sky, silent, he knew that from this moment on, this city where he had lived for nearly a jiazi, he would never be able to go back.

And this day, in fact, he had expected it a long time ago.

From the moment he retreated in front of the King of Han in front of Changle Palace, he expected that one day, he would leave the city and leave the Weiyang Palace, which overlooked the entire Chang'an.

I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

And in such a way.

But he didn't regret it, and after making a desperate bet, he could accept the outcome, whether the result was good or bad.

After a long time, Fan Zeng came back to his senses, and the group of officials who were sent out by the little girl with him spoke: "Ministers, the general trend has gone, and there is no power to return to the sky, now I give you two choices, one is to follow me to the northern Xinjiang, and the other is to return to Chang'an now, surrender to the King of Han, express my attitude to the King of Han, and swear loyalty to the King of Han, but I have only one request, that is, to be a good official worthy of the people." ”

What is a good official worthy of the people, Fan Zeng did not say.

The officials did not dare to ask.

Aren't corrupt officials good officials?

Not really.

Does a clean official have to be a good official?

Not necessarily.

The people have a scale in their hearts!

Whether it's good or bad, they all have the answer in their hearts.

Some officials said with some bitterness: "Taifu, we go back to Chang'an now, will the King of Han still accept us?"

Fan Zeng nodded and said: "Yes, now that Chen Guo is employing people, you surrender to sincerity, he may not reuse, but he will not be harsh, he will also use you to tie the hearts of the officials in the major cities of Chen Guo!"

These officials are all the top-notch people in Chen Guo's officialdom, representing all the officials in Taifu's department, if Dongluo doesn't want Chen Guo's officialdom to be turbulent, he will definitely treat this group of people well.

Only in this way will those officials of the former Taifu family do their best for him. Don't be frightened, three days of fishing, two days of drying nets.

This is a small means to collect his heart, it depends on whether he will use it in winterfall.

If it is used well, the official heart is unified.

If it is not used well, it is self-destructive.

After thinking for a long time, some officials sighed, saluted Fan Zeng respectfully, and then said, "Taifu take care!" and went to Chang'an.

There are not a few such officials, before this, when the Han King added officials to the knighthood, they wanted officials to have officials, and most of their families were in Chang'an, and now they are following Fan Zeng to Northern Xinjiang, which means that they will give up all this.

There are simply not many people who want to.

For these departing people, Fan Zeng replied to them to take care, and then let them leave.

In the end, there were three people left behind Fan Zeng, Fan Siyuan, Qian Donglai, and a small Jingguan Huangmen squire who barely reached the threshold of Weiyang Palace, even if he was qualified to participate in the court meeting, he was just going through the motions and couldn't intervene at all.

For Qian Donglai to stay, he is not at all

Unexpectedly, he had asked Qian Donglai this question before, but he was really surprised that little yellow door could stay.

He remembered the name of the little yellow door, Dong Lili, a name that he didn't know how to evaluate when used on a man's body.

Fan Zeng smiled: "Dong Lili, everyone else is gone, why did you stay?"

Dong Lili doesn't seem to be very old, his face is white, he is unusually clean, his writing is weak, and he can be a Beijing official, either because of his ancestors, or because of his excellent personal means.

Dong Lili saluted respectfully and said, "Does Taifu want to hear the truth or a lie?"

It's still a little funny, Fan Zeng smiled, "Let's tell a lie first!"

Dong Lili said: "The lie is that the subordinate is only the Taifu horse, and he is willing to follow the Taifu all the time, saddle the horse for the Taifu, and go wherever the Taifu goes, and the Taifu will let the subordinate fight the dog, and the subordinate will never beat the chicken." ”

Dong Lili said it with emotion, and Fan Zeng was a little tired of listening to it, how could this sound the same as what those officials who left said before.

I've heard too many falsehoods, it's easy to take them seriously!

Fan Zeng frowned and said, "You better tell the truth!"

Dong Lili said: "Their vision is too short-sighted. ”

At this time, Fan Zeng was interested, signaled Dong Lili and continued, even Fan Siyuan and Qian Donglai cast curious eyes.

Fan Lili continued: "It is true that after Taifu left Chang'an, in order to stabilize the official hearts of the cities, the King of Han will definitely not do anything to them, but he will not entrust them with important tasks, even if they are entrusted with important tasks, it will be temporary, or it will not be long before the King of Han will definitely re-organize the officialdom of Chen State, and then it will be when they are excluded from the officialdom of Chen State." Even if the king of Han does not exclude them, there are people who exclude them. I think that instead of being ostracized everywhere, it is better to stay and advance and retreat with Taifu. ”

What Dong Lili meant in his words was that if these departed officials really had nothing outstanding, then their political careers would be over. It's no longer possible to think about it.

Fan Zeng nodded, expressing his approval of Dong Lili's opinion.

Reorganize the officialdom, the emperor's mind is just a trick!

As for those officials who want to squeeze into the decision-making circle of King Han, there is really no door.

Don't look at who are the people in the decision-making circle of King Han, Qin Shuyu, Xue Nianci, Wang Xifeng, Rong Xuxuan, Zhang Baigui, Chen Changsheng These are all three uses with one head, such a decision-making circle, how can these people squeeze into it by sharpening their heads.

However, Fan Zeng heard that Dong Lili's thoughts didn't seem to be so simple. But then again, how can a person who has become a Beijing official on his own be simple.

What advances and retreats together, it's just betting on yourself!

But one thing, and he's right, is that he has a longer vision than those people.

If he is starting in the Dongshan of Chen Guo, this Dong Lili may soon be promoted from a small yellow door to a book and a master.

Even if he did not make a comeback in this Chen country, but one

In disgrace, his other identity is also an existence that many people look up to.

One of the three princes of a dynasty, Taifu.

returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his identity as Dong Lili also rose.

Prime Minister Concierge Seven Rank Officer, this sentence is not bad at all.

Fan Zeng didn't say that Dong Lili was careful, it didn't make much sense. It's better to have someone to follow than to be alone.

Fan Zeng also left Dong Lili, a smart man.

Fan Zeng glanced at Chang'an again, but he no longer cared about it, and walked towards the northern frontier of Chen State first.

The so-called northern frontier is just a long border outside Zhenbei City! There are several beacon troops guarding the border passes, and this is also where Fan Zeng and the others are going.

Fan Zeng smiled in surprise, this Chen Kingdom is also unique.

Let a royal prince guard the beacon team.

Let a pure martial artist who has returned to the realm of purity go to guard the frontier!

It was the strongest kingdom in the Far North a hundred years ago.

All the way north, Fan Siyuan hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the doubts in his heart, "Father, why don't you tell the King of Han that Fan Tianxue is a chess piece buried by his father in Yang State, and that Fan Tianxue led Yang State's 100,000 troops through Zhenbei City to surrender to Cheng." ”

Fan Tianxue was a little puzzled, if so, he could also rebel against the army of the King of Han and ask the King of Han why he indiscriminately killed the army of Yang Guo who came to surrender to Cheng, if this is said, who else will dare to surrender to Chen Guo in the future.

Fan Tianxue didn't believe it, Fan Zeng didn't think of this.

Fan Zeng said lightly: "It's just a way out for yourself!"

Fan Siyuan was even more skeptical!

Fan Zeng explained: "If I say that Fan Tianxue brought the army here to surrender to Cheng, who will believe it? Will you believe it?"

Fan Siyuan shook his head.

How can you believe this, Fan Tianxue is a powerful general with an army of 100,000 in Yang State, and he surrenders to Chen Guo, can Chen Guo give him anything good?

If these words are said, who will believe that Fan Tianxuan is here to surrender to Cheng, just because he and Fan Zeng are both surnamed Fan?

Fan Zeng said: "If I say so, Fan Tianxue will also admit it." But the result is not better, but worse, and the king of Han will definitely make people go around saying that I have betrayed the country to seek glory, and I am not clear with the generals of the enemy country. Don't say that this is not good for me at all, will anyone believe it? Let me tell you, you have to believe that in this world, as long as a word is spoken, it doesn't matter whether it is true or false, some people are indiscriminate people, and some people believe it. ”

"What's more, if you want to add sin, there is no excuse, even if there are few people who believe it, the king of Han has a method, and some words make people believe. If I am charged with betraying the country for glory, from now on, not only will Chen Guo have no place for me, but Luoyang will also have no place for me to stand. ”

Fan Siyuan was stunned.

Fan Zeng continued to walk forward, and there was one more sentence he didn't say.

Beating the water dogs, no one in the world will be merciful, and those who are merciful will not end up well.

Now that he Fan Zeng is a dog that fell into the water, how could King Han be merciful to him, in this case, it is better to precipitate himself in the water, protect himself, and accumulate strength

amount, waiting for the day when it jumps out of the water.

Zhang Baigui scared the defenders of the cities back, which was tantamount to blocking all the doors of Fan Zeng. After Fan Zeng was driven out of Chang'an by the King of Han, there was another person in the city who dared to open the city to welcome him!

Therefore, he Fan Zeng is now a water dog.

However, how could he tell Fan Siyuan that he was a dog!

......

......

The Sunset Tower still stands tall at night.

Since a few months ago, Dongluo had not been here since he was invited by Fan Zeng to come to this sunset tower once.

Recently, Dongluo and Yue'er have been looking for those small shops in her memories in the alleys, and they don't plan to come to this sunset building.

The sunset tower is so big, it's there, and it won't run, what's the hurry.

But those small shops are different, they have long legs and can run.

The small shop in his memory is gone, along with all the delicious food he sells in it.

Some of the facades are gone, replaced by something else.

Some of the facades are still there, and the things they sell are still there, but the person who sold them is gone, and the things they sell don't have the same flavor as they remember.

At this time, Yue'er will be very lost, as if something very important is missing.

But fortunately, there are many of them that are in my memory.

It's just that some of the little girls have become shopkeepers, and they can't remember that there was a little girl who would come to their store whenever she had time to eat.

Today is the second time he has come to Sunset Tower.

When Dongluo and the others arrived at the Sunset Tower, Yue'er happened to appear out of thin air.

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Dongluo and his group of more than ten people walked into a small private room from a hidden place under the leadership of the shopkeeper of Sunset Building.

After ordering dozens of Sunset Tower's signature dishes, Yue'er handed the menu to Dongluo, "You can order what you want to eat!

Yue'er said with a serious expression: "If anyone robs me, I will still take him out of the Sunset Tower in minutes." ”

Dongluo smiled: "Why do you eat so little today, do you want to order more?"

Yue'er said with a slightly red expression: "It's good for me to usually eat like this." ”

The corners of Xue Nianci and the others twitched, is this still called that? The paper that memorized the name of the dish was used several times. When the food comes up, I'm afraid that the table will have to use a few sheets.

After Yue'er finished speaking, she blinked frantically towards Dongluo, didn't you see so many people watching? Why are you so unkind, little brother, if people know that I eat so much at once, where will my old face go. Don't hurry up and give the old lady back.

Dongluo looked at Yue'er and winked at him frantically, and asked with some puzzlement, "Do you also have sand in your eyes?"

Yue'er almost couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of old blood, into the sand, into your uncle's. Don't you know what the old lady wants to say?

Dongluo really doesn't know what this little girl wants to say, he is wondering why the sand is in Yue'er's eyes, this is very unreasonable!

Yue'er gave up completely

It's really hard to communicate with this person who has sand in his head.

After a while, the dishes were all served, Yue'er snorted sadly and angrily, and fought with all kinds of dishes.

Xiao Han looked at Yue'er, who was eating wildly, and turned his head and said secretly to Wan'er: "Sister, eat so much, do you think she is a pig essence!"

Wan'er smiled and didn't speak, just looked at the table in front of Xiao Han from a distance, and there were no less dishes than Yue'er in front of her, and even more.

Say that people are pig essences, and you have a good way to get there.

Xiao Han smiled, and hurriedly lowered his head to eat, and when he raised his head again, he couldn't see anyone.

Yue'er, who was in the battle, inadvertently glanced at the young man who had more things on the table than him, and sighed in his heart, it seems that he is still a little less!

However, this thought only appeared for a moment, and was washed away by the tempting fragrance in the nose.

Dongluo and Xue Nianci chatted while eating, and they talked about some Chen Guo's affairs.

Originally, I said before I came, this time I only ate and didn't talk about state affairs, but the two of them talked about it again while eating.

chatting and chatting other people also joined in, and it was a good celebration banquet, but it inexplicably turned into a small pilgrimage party.

Now the hardest first step is to take it, and the next thing is to stand firm.

If you want to gain a firm foothold, you have to get Fan Zeng out of Chen Guo first, whether it is to invite or rush, you have to come up with a way.

After getting Fan Zeng out of Chen Guo, he still has to sort out Chen Guo's internal and external affairs, but this is not the most difficult, now that the people's hearts and official hearts have been unified, the next step is to sort them out. Straighten this out, and this heel will be considered to be more than half of the foot.

As for those mountain immortal families and mountain sects, it couldn't be easier, let Qin Shuyu bring hundreds of cultivators from the Fifth Realm of the Heavens to visit them, show them a hand, presumably they will know what to do.

After all, Qin Shuyu's realm is there.

As for Chen's army, Zhang Baigui said that he already had a plan, so Dongluo would let it go.

Zhang Baigui did not come to Sunset Tower, but went to Zhenbei City to see Wei Changkong, presumably to deal with the matter of Chen Guo's army.

Most of the livelihood projects in Wang Xifeng's hands have also entered the later stage, and they are about to be completed.

Next, the people of the Temple of Death will gradually withdraw from Chen Guo and begin to shoot towards the major forces around Chen Guo, especially Yang Guo, who has lost 100,000 troops inexplicably this time, and they must not feel good in their hearts! Now most of them are trying to find a way to retaliate against them! So they have to guard against it.

Everything seems to be on the right track, but the premise of everything on the right track is to get Fan Zeng out of Chen Guo.

There are no two days in one day, and there are no two kings in one country.

As long as Fan Zeng is still in this Chen country for a day, then these things are somewhat hindered to be done.

Therefore, the top priority is to get Fan Zeng out of Chen Guo.

Xue Nianci said: "Now everything in Chen Guo is about to get on the right track, but this Fan Zeng is after all

It's still a nuisance, and it's a hidden danger to keep it. ”

Rong Xu Xuan said: "Do you want to ask Zhou Tianzi to transfer him away?"

Dongluo shook his head, this method doesn't work, Fan Zeng doesn't know that he didn't come to conquer Chen State, and Zhou Tianzi didn't issue an edict saying that he could interfere in Chen's internal affairs, if he wrote to Zhou Tianzi to transfer Fan Zeng out of Chen State, wouldn't that be lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?

So, this method will definitely not work.

Dongluo said: "I decided to give him something, and it should be regarded as a return gift." ”

Rong Xu Xuan asked, "What is it?"

"The Book of the People. Dongluo said: "No matter what, when Fan Zeng was surrounded by strong enemies outside Chen and the internal political situation was chaotic, he defended Chen Guo and let Chen Guo not lose a city, even if Zhou Tianzi ordered him to come, but this is also a favor for Chen Guo, and he has to pay it back." Now I inherit my father's will and inherit the unification, and I should thank Mrs. Fan for protecting the country. From now on, let the officials of each city write a letter to the people, thank Mrs. Fan, now that Chen Guo no longer needs his guards, he can return to the Great Zhou. ”

At the beginning in front of Changle Palace, Fan Zeng had prepared a lot of Wanmin Books, if Qin Shuyu had not issued a tax exemption decree, Dongluo might have been sent out of Chen State by the Wanmin Books by now.

Now he plans to return the favor with his own way, and also send Fan Zeng a book of all the people to send him abroad.

Rong Xuxuan and the others glanced at each other with strange expressions, this is too bad!

This is the book of the people who sent people away! This is clearly a humiliating post!

Before this began, everyone present could already think of the situation where all the people sent each other, and almost everyone came to see you off, thank you for your protection, so do you leave or not?
