The situation in the state of Chen was complicated, and after a short period of silence, the unfavorable rhetoric against the winter fall of the Han king finally ushered in a big outbreak.

The king of Han fell in winter, and for a while, his reputation was infamous and his reputation was mixed.

But for some reason, Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace have rarely remained silent on this matter and have not publicly expressed any opinions.

In the Weiyang Palace, the court meeting is still the same, but Taifu Fan Zeng is silent about this matter. In Changle Palace, King Han Dongluo never showed up.

It seems that both Changle Palace and Weiyang officials acquiesced to this matter and allowed the situation to develop.

Some of the mountain immortals who smelled the unusual smell from it closed the mountain one after another, claiming that they were dedicated to cultivating, did not ask about Hongchen, and never mentioned the things under the mountain, and did not seem to want to be too involved.

The big families under the mountain have also restrained the children of the clan, be cautious in their words and deeds, do not express their opinions indiscriminately, and for some of the gentlemen, they are even more grounded in the clan, so as not to go out to cause disasters for the family, and the ancestors of the various families have also gone out of the customs and sat in the clan.

The immortal family on the mountain can ignore Hongchen and ignore the world, but the family under the mountain cannot, and the involvement of a family with those in power is unimaginable. On the occasion of the change of day, the slightest carelessness may destroy the family's hard-earned wealth for hundreds of years, and the efforts of several generations may be in vain in an instant.

Therefore, it is not necessary for the ancestors of all families and ethnic groups not to be solemn.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

Although this is the dispute between the King of Han and the Taifu of Chen Guo, it is also an opportunity for Chen Guoshan to go up and down. But if it's wrong, there's nothing.

At a time when the immortal family on this mountain is not coming out, and the hearts of the families under the mountain are fluctuating, the entire Chen country has a feeling that the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is so strong that everyone on the mountain is panicked.

Compared with the mountain people who looked ahead and did not dare to speak loudly, the people of Chen Guo were unscrupulous.

Teahouses and restaurants, where there are people in the market, the most talked about is the King of Han.

In a teahouse, an elegant scribe shook his head and sighed: "Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks." Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. What a poem, how could you have copied it?"

The person who drank with him said in a deep voice: "I don't think this poem should be copied, I prefer to believe that this poem was sent by the prince." The ancients said, 'Articles are written for the time, and songs and poems are written for things'. At this time, there is this poem, which is the most reasonable. So this poem is definitely not copied. It's just that the green mountain of Chen Guo is not only what the prince wants to bite, but also the Taifu. Now it's up to them to see which of them can better withstand the thousands of blows of the east, west, north and south winds. Whoever bears it will be able to take root in this green mountain. ”

The green-shirted Confucian took a sip of tea and said, "Indeed, I also think that this news should be misinformation, but there is one piece of news that I think is true." ”

"Which one?"

"The purpose of the King of Han to come to Chen is to collect money, and the five taxes and one should be the instruction of the prince. ”

"How so?"

"There may be people in this world who don't love money, but the prince

Absolutely not, you think about it, when the sunset tower Taifu was the prince to pick up the wind, the prince was crazy to collect money by various means, it is said that the prince alone started with three million medium-grade spirit stones, I used to think that the prince had experienced harm and earned it by his ability, but after the five taxes and one by one, I don't think so, I estimate that night should be Chang'an celebrities who voted for their favor, deliberately sending money to the prince. ”

"Listening to you say that, it seems that there is a little bit of truth in it. ”

......

These things that the people in the market can understand, how can those who are in high positions and powers not understand, they have all seen it, and they can even see more.

The poem "Bamboo and Stone", everyone can see that it is definitely inspired by the King of Han. If it is said that the king of Han copied it, it is absolutely impossible. The person who can make this poem is afraid that he can suppress the entire Chen Guo's literary circle, and he doesn't dare to speak loudly, so why should this kind of person disdain to copy.

But what really makes them feel embarrassed is that the purpose of the King of Han is to collect money, this is the most difficult thing for them to judge, and now they are eager to surrender, if the King of Han really comes to Chen Guo to collect a fortune and leave, they will definitely bear Fan Zeng's anger at that time. But if not, the dispute between the Han King and the Taifu, how should they deal with themselves?

All kinds of remarks about the King of Han came like a tide, some true, some false, so that these mountain people completely lost their judgment.

If it's false, what if it's true!

If it's true, what if it's false!

Aren't the people on the mountain afraid of just in case?

They didn't dare to gamble, so they could only wait and see, or choose the one that Fan Zeng left for them that had not yet been determined by the Weiyang Palace, and the king of Han would go to the country with thirty taxes and one.

Therefore, now it seems that the only thing that is in the interests of everyone above and below Chen Guoshan is this choice.

Even if these news are fake, as long as the news of "King Han goes to the country, thirty taxes and one" is true, it is enough, it is enough to make Chen Guoshan go crazy up and down the mountain.

The Confucian in the green shirt asked in a low voice: "Do you think the news that 'the king of Han went to the country, thirty taxes and one' is true or false?"

The person who drank with him lowered his voice and said: "Now it doesn't matter whether this news is true or not, if the people of Chen Guo say that it is true, then it is also true." Now I have heard that there is a kind of thing called the Book of the People, which has been widely circulated in private. Even I signed it. ”

The blue-shirted Confucian asked, "What book of all people?"

"All the people petitioned, and the king of Han went to the country. ”

......

......

In the Weiyang Palace, Fan Zeng looked at the thick dossiers on the low table, and smiled slightly, the people petitioned, the king of Han went to the country, this book of the people is not enough!

Fan Siyuan walked into the main hall with a few more volumes of files, "Father, this is the book of the people sent by the most people in several cities. ”

Fan Zeng smiled: "You did a good job. ”

Fan Siyuan put the file on the low table in front of Fan Zeng, "Father, the child has something unknown. ”

Fan Zeng gestured, if you have any questions, just ask.

Fan Siyuan said with some doubts: "I know that we spread the true and false news in order to let Chen Guo's mountain."

People lose their judgment, so they don't dare to express their stance at will. But why don't you let them sign the Book of All People?"

"If they sign the Book of the People, even if the people petition in the end does not expel the King of Han from the State of Chen, with the Book of the People, they are already in the same boat as us, and if they want to get off the ship again and get on the ship of the King of Han, they have to weigh the benefits and harms of this, which is beneficial and harmless to us!"

After Fan Zeng sat back on the low table, he opened the dossier and looked like it was one by one, and each name represented a determination to let the King of Han go to the country.

Fan Siyuan said lightly: "It's too much, let them throw the mouse bogey, it's enough for the two not to help each other, if it's too much, it's a big deal if the boat doesn't sit, the world is big, and the people are difficult to go, but it's not easy for the people on the mountain to go." If we forced them away, or forced them onto the ship of the King of Han, wouldn't we still be at the loss?"

It is enough for the people to sign such a thing, but if they are allowed to sign, it will be too forced. Anyway, he has already given them a choice that satisfies both the mountains and the mountains, and if they are smart, they will know how to choose.

If you want to sit on the wall and watch, you can. If you want to add fuel to the fire, you can do it.

As long as you don't get on the Han King's ship, you can do whatever you want.

Fan Zeng said without raising his head: "Is there any movement over there in Changle Palace?"

"Not yet. ”

"Hmm!" Fan Zeng nodded.

Fan Siyuan began to sort out the files on the low table, one hundred and thirty cities in the Chen Kingdom, one volume of the Book of Ten Thousand People in one city, and now there are dozens of volumes on this table, and nearly a hundred volumes are still on the way.

The book of the people is the grievances of the people. With these 100 volumes of the Book of the People, it may be a little difficult to win the King of Han, but if you want to send the King of Han away, it will be easy.

Fan Zeng said lightly: "Pay close attention to every move of Changle Palace, and tell me if there is a little trouble." ”

Fan Siyuan nodded, just about to leave.

Fan Zeng raised his head and said again for no reason, "Read less useless books." ”

Fan Siyuan didn't know how many times he had heard Fan Zeng say this, he used to think that Fan Zeng wanted him to spend more time on cultivation, but now that he thought about it, it seemed that what Fan Zeng said did not mean this.

Fan Siyuan said with a smile: "Father, you have asked me to read less useless books many times, so I want to ask my father today, what kind of books are useful books?"

"Books that have helped the people through the world, books that have ascended the road, are all useful books. ”

Fan Zeng quipped: "According to my father's meaning, most of the books in the world are useless books." ”

Fan Zeng nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It's not useless, but it's useless to you." ”

Fan Siyuan is really a little puzzled, although this Chen Guo has a pitiful number of reading seeds, but no gentleman has ever said that only the books in the world are useful books, and only the books that teach people to compete for the first place are useful books. Then he characterizes all the other books as useless.

The script, the legend of the monster, the poetry and songs...... These are useless books.

What's the idea?

But what my father said is not that the seeds of reading in the world are useless books, but that they are useless for themselves, what is the reason, is it possible to look down on themselves?

Fan Zeng sat up straight and motioned for Fan Siyuan to find a place to sit down, "You have been by my side since you were a child, reading poetry and books, understanding etiquette, learning the strategy of governing the country and the country, and cultivating the way of fixing the country and the country." You have never been to the rivers and lakes, or you have really walked through the rivers and lakes, you don't know the sinister rivers and lakes, and the sinister hearts of the people. ”

Fan Siyuan wanted to fight back, but Fan Zeng stopped him with his eyes, "The sinister human heart is far beyond your imagination, and what you see in the book is far less than the real sinister human heart." ”

"The rivers and lakes are sinister, and the officialdom is also sinister, there are still some commonalities, I am not afraid of you going to the rivers and lakes, and I am not afraid of you mixing with officialdom, but I am afraid that you will go up the mountain. ”

Fan Siyuan muttered, "Up the mountain?"

Fan Zeng nodded and said, "That's right, go up the mountain." Because the further you go up the mountain, the less useful the truth in the book becomes, and the hard fist is the real last word, but it is more important. On the mountain, no one will reason with you, only fight with you, so no matter how many books you read, no matter how many books you can say, as long as your fists are not hard enough, no matter how right your reasoning is, it will become unreasonable. ”

The people on the mountain also believe in the word truth, but their truth is the fist, which is cultivation, not the words in the book, no matter how good the words in the book are, no matter how big the truth is, the fist is not hard, and the cultivation is not high.

Fan Zeng said: "We have been going up the mountain, and I paved the way you went up the mountain before, but there are still many roads for you to walk by yourself." Now the reason why I tell you to read less useless numbers is that you are now spending too much time on reciting poetry. So much so that it delayed the people of the world and the ascent of the avenue. ”

"As far as you are concerned, there are only two types of useful books, one is the book that helps the people in the world and determines the country and the country, because I will definitely help you get this Chen country in your hands, but after you get it in your hands, how to help the people in the world and the country and the country depends on you. ”

"There is another type of avenue climbing, you are on the mountain, only if you climb high enough and your fists are hard enough, will people be afraid of the truth in your hands and listen to you say the truth in the book. ”

Fan Siyuan was silent, during this period of time, since the poetry of Sunset Tower was sung and lost in winter, he has been immersed in reading poetry and books, just to get back a little face, for this reason, he has indeed slacked off his practice. I didn't expect my father to see all this, and he beat himself several times, if he hadn't asked himself today, maybe his father wouldn't have said it.

Fan Siyuan stood up, bowed and said, "The child remembers his father's teachings. ”

Fan Zeng waved his hand and said, "Go down! If there is any trouble in Changle Palace, report it to me immediately." ”

......

......

In Changle Palace, it was supposed to be a scene of five people gathering, but today there were only four people, and Wang Xifeng was absent.

Regarding Wang Xifeng's absence, most of the four people present knew that a weak woman with little cultivation was targeted by a little demon beast without discipline, and she could end up

It's so good that it goes.

The black bricks were also knocked out, and I knew why the peppers were so red, and maybe I even knew what the unicorn hooves tasted like, so it was strange to be able to attend this meeting.

Without Wang Xifeng, the meeting is still the same.

Qin Shuyu opened his mouth and said, "After discussing with Lord Rong, we decided that we should strike first. ”

The Grim Reaper Winter Night said: "How to strike first? Now there are one hundred and thirty cities in the Chen Kingdom, and there are people in each city who are secretly signing the Book of the People, and the Book of the People of some cities may already be on Fan Zeng's desk now. ”

In fact, this is indeed the case, and the book of the people is still on its way. With this book of all people, Fan Zeng is equivalent to carrying the grievances of the people of Chen Guo to force the winter to fall and force him to leave Chen State.

This book of the people is like a knife, and the tip of the knife points to the winter fall.

Don't kill people, only punish hearts.

If it weren't for Dongluo's words before leaving, Qin Shuyu would have decided everything, I'm afraid that he would have asked the people of the Temple of Death to snatch and destroy the book of all people.

But Qin Shuyu asked him not to act rashly first, and then wait, and this wait will be until today.

It's been so long, is it better to strike first?

Qin Shuyu said: "The reason why I waited until now to start is to see what Fan Zeng's purpose is, and now it seems that this book of ten thousand people should be Fan Zeng's ultimate goal." He wanted the prince to leave the Chen Kingdom, but he couldn't say it, so he asked Wanmin to say it for him. ”

"Before he completely provokes a national grievance, we have to start first, and when the book of all the people is in Fan Zeng's hands, it is not only a sharp blade to force the prince to leave, but also a bargaining chip for him to control the people. ”

As long as the person who signed the book of all people is already tied to Fan Zeng, that is to say, whatever Fan Zeng does next, whether it is right or wrong, they will consciously maintain it.

Because, they and Fan Zeng are already a community of interests.

Chen Changsheng said in a deep voice: "So what are you going to do?"

"Tax exempt. ”

Qin Shuyu said slowly: "Didn't they say that the purpose of the prince was to collect money? The five taxes were ordered by the prince? Now we have issued a decree in the name of the prince, and the whole of the Chen country will be exempted from all forced labor and taxes, and this rumor can be self-defeating." ”

"Also, didn't Fan Zeng say, 'When the King of Han goes to the country, he will pay thirty taxes and one'? Now that the King of Han is in the country, all the taxes are exempted, how do you say those people will choose?"

Thirty taxes are one, after all, there is still a tax, if you can, who wants to take out what has been put into their money bags, take it out and give it to others!

Besides, although everyone knows that the king of Han went to the country, the news of the thirty taxes is definitely from the Weiyang Palace, but the Weiyang Palace has not yet made it clear that the news is true or false.

If he really signed the Book of the People in a daze and drove the King of Han out of the Chen State, Taifu turned his face and denied it, saying that he had never said such a thing, so how could it be good to have five taxes and one after five taxes.

Chen Changsheng knew that in the name of the prince, the promulgation of the tax exemption decree seemed to be the best way to break the situation at present.

No

Stewardship was not the best way to break the situation, Chen Changsheng still asked: "Are you sure you want to be exempt from taxes? Do you know how much tax Chen Guo will pay in the next year?"

"Does how much it have to do with us?"

Chen Changsheng smiled and choked.

Qin Shuyu said lightly: "No matter how much tax is paid, it will end up in Fan Zeng's pocket, not ours, since this is the case, why should we save money for him." ”

Chen Changsheng stopped talking, Chen Guo's military and political power is in the hands of Fan Zeng, and taxes are no exception, and they will eventually go into Fan Zeng's pocket, otherwise he would not be known as Fan Doupi after all these years.

Qin Shuyu stood up and said, "We can't go through official channels when we issue a decree, and we can only rely on ourselves if we are excluded by them." All the members of the Temple of Death must spread the decree of tax exemption to one hundred and thirty cities within half a day. In order to increase the credibility of this information, Rong Xu Xuan, divide the 10,000 people you stationed in the Changle Palace into a team of 100 people, and parade around Chang'an City, letting them know that this decree is indeed issued by our Changle Palace. ”

......

......

Not long after, Fan Siyuan hurriedly rushed into Weiyang Palace, gasping and saying, "Father, Changle Palace has moved." ”
