293.
Do you know what I'm doing when you're having fun with your beautiful concubines in your arms, when you're drinking with glasses full of wine, when you're swaggering through the city in a sumptuous carriage? ”
Pan Shangshu looked at the prince's handsome face like a flat lake, and a little heaviness flashed in his eyes: "I am preparing for next year's spring planting for the people in Jiangnan, I am distributing long-overdue military salaries to the soldiers at the border gates, and I am raising cotton clothes and stomach rations for the refugees affected by the Yellow River floods...... The most ruthless emperor's family, the bird is exhausted and the bow is hidden, the rabbit dies and the dog cooks, I have done so much for the Hua Dynasty, but I am still ruthlessly regarded as an abandoned son by the emperor, and I will lose it, His Royal Highness asked himself, do you royal family treat me fairly? ”
Pan Shangshu said a lot in one breath, and gasped slightly, but the prince didn't say a word, and the entire prison fell silent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"So, you want to rebel and want to be the emperor yourself?" After a long time, the prince broke the calm and asked lightly.
Pan Shangshu nodded, and there was no shame on his face: "The emperor failed me first, why can't I fail the emperor?" If I become an emperor, I will work hard, hard work, what the Chinese Dynasty could not do before, I dare not do, I will do it, I will treat the people better, I will make the army more loyal to me, kill the enemy more heroically, I will make the neighbors dare not offend the border for generations, and all nations will come to ......the court."
“…… You're going to make the world a mess! The prince interrupted him unceremoniously.
Pan Shangshu looked at the prince puzzled.
The prince sneered: "Do you think you can rely on your tens of thousands of rebels to be the co-ruler of the world?" It's ridiculous! ”
"Teacher, you have been a civil servant all your life, and you are not good at leading troops to fight, so why bother wading into this troubled water? Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the way of life and death, the reason for survival, must not be overlooked. Remember? Teacher, this is when you were a child, you personally taught Lonely, and now Lone will return this sentence to the teacher. ”
Ignoring Pan Shangshu's disgraced old face, the prince continued: "Zhao Hu wants to lead the Shenwu army to follow you to rebel, and the teacher adopted Zhao Hu thirty years ago, do you think you can hide it from the world?" Also, the four-way army at the border pass that you colluded with will not raise troops as agreed, and Lone has known about this matter for a long time, so let's talk about something that you don't know, teacher......"
The prince smiled slightly, leaned into Pan Shangshu's ear, and said in an inaudible voice: "...... The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, and the lonely is the yellow finch, but it is a pity that the weak cicada actually eats your mantis in turn, which is really unexpected......"
Pan Shangshu was stunned, and then immediately reacted: "It turns out that the Shence Army did not move that night because you ......"
The prince sat up straight and said with a smile: "In the past, the teacher taught Lonely, you must keep one hand in everything you do, don't be desperate and have no way out, but now it seems that what the teacher said really makes sense." Liu Changsheng, the general of the Shence Army, and his two lieutenants have been secretly disposed of by Lone, and as for the Ren Xiaoyao who defeated you inexplicably, Lone also thought of a way to rectify him and avenge you. - Teacher, the student is now blue, and he will come to say goodbye to the teacher tonight. Time also, fate also, what do you say? Teacher, go all the way! ”
With a sigh, the prince respectfully bowed to Pan Shangshu, then turned around and walked out of the cell.
The big lock in the cell was locked again, and Pan Shangshu sat on the bed board, staring straight at the cell door with his eyes, and muttered: "Lost, lost...... It turned out that the old man was doomed to lose from the beginning......"
After a long time, Pan Shangshu laughed again, leaning forward and backward with a smile, as if he had never encountered such a funny thing in his life: "...... Hahahaha, sure enough, it's out of the blue, the emperor, let it go, the old man's retribution is on his son, what about your retribution? Hahahaha......"
The laughter echoed in the gloomy cell, and Liu Xi, the cell boss in charge of Pan Shangshu, shivered inexplicably, and muttered hatefully: "The old bastard ate magpie shit?" Laughing so badly......"
Ren Xiaoyao himself didn't realize how heavy his authority was in the court, and he still lived in a daze every day, but the officials in the court didn't think so, a hairy boy under the age of twenty, why did the emperor give him so much authority? It's just a matter of controlling the defense of the capital, and even the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China have the right to supervise, which is inevitably too much to favor him, and in the long run, in a few years, there will be a second Pan Shangshu in the DPRK.
In history, many powerful ministers who single-handedly covered the sky rebelled, why? Because their officials are too big, and the power they hold in their hands is too big, so big that even the ministers themselves can't think of any way to promote their own officials, so every day when they go to court, the ministers can't help but glance at the dragon chair where the emperor sits. Then I started thinking about how nice it would be if I was sitting on that chair......
People's ambitions and desires are endless, not to mention that Ren Xiaoyao is just a young man less than twenty years old, this great power is handed over to him, who knows if he will become invincible due to the expansion of ambition, and even make up ideas that should not be beaten?
So the exhortations of the ministers of the court and the central government flew into the palace like snowflakes, including Wei Chengde, who has always had a good relationship with Ren Xiaoyao, and asked the emperor to think twice, not to concentrate power on one person, otherwise it is difficult to ensure that Jiangshan Sheji will not be coveted by the second Pan Shangshu.
The strange thing is that the emperor did not send all the recitals, and neither agreed nor opposed to the exhortations of the ministers, nor did he submit them for discussion or reply. Seeing the emperor's perfunctory attitude, the ministers were immediately unhappy, and said in their hearts, let's take care of your generation, what kind of attitude do you have? If you don't agree, you have to say something, right?
So the ministers were not discouraged and continued to play the fold, and the wording of the second fold was much more intense. Some accused the emperor of nepotism, which was the way to bring disaster to the country and was undesirable, and some even pointed the finger at Ren Xiaoyao, saying that Ren Xiaoyao had a cunning face. has the appearance of a hero, and his heart is not small.
The emperor still ignored them, and just threw these twists and turns to the crown prince, who had just entered the court to supervise the country, and asked him to approve it.
Now the prince can be embarrassed, and he has the heart to agree to the ministers to cut the right to let go. I was afraid that my father would not be satisfied with his handling of him. If the request of the ministers is refused, it will not be easy for the prince who has just entered the court and urgently needs the assistance and support of the ministers.
After careful consideration. The prince replied to six words on the recital: "Delay the discussion, don't repeat it." ”
-------------------------
In the private room of the Yueyue Building, Ren Xiaoyao and Bai Liyun are talking about me and me, with great affection, you feed me a mouthful of chicken soup. I feed you a sip of wine, and the waves in my eyes are full of affection, and the flesh and numbness of the scene make the female guards standing on the side get goosebumps.
Bai Liyun's long flowing hair has been pulled high into a high knotted vertebrae, which is the usual hairstyle of married women, that is, the hair is tied up in a knot and tied at the back of the head, and then fixed with a hairpin or hairpin, so that the whole person looks mature and responsible.
Bailiyun has lost its former youthfulness. Every gesture has a woman's charming style. - I have to praise Ren Xiaoyao for being a clever young man, he saw that the little princess of Changle occupied Bailiyun all day long, so he rarely and diligently locked himself in the study all day in his life, and wrote dozens of fairy tales crookedly, with classics from his previous life. There are also their own nonsense.
Give the story to Xiao Lu, Ren Xiaoyao and Changle negotiate the conditions, she sleeps with Xiao Lu, and Xiao Lu tells her the story. After paying the price of 1,000 taels of silver, Changle reluctantly followed Xiao Lu to sleep. Ren Yao's trick succeeded, and he entered Bailiyun's room with a lewd smile, fulfilled his long-cherished wish, and went to Yunyu with Bailiyun......
Bai Liyun also fulfilled her long-cherished wish, and finally became Ren Xiaoyao's woman, and treated Ren Xiaoyao more gently, the previous rude temper seems to have completely disappeared, and the whole person is completely renewed, no matter when and where, it is so gentle and elegant, and the birds are human......
The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a young man walked in, and said with a smile as he walked: "I heard that Brother Ren is here, and the younger brother has come to ...... with Brother Ren."
Before the young man finished speaking, Bai Liyun kicked it without hesitation, and shouted violently: "Didn't you see the old lady eating with her husband?" Come on, beat him to death for the old lady! ”
Ren Xiaoyao held his forehead and sighed, my wife, what do you say? Alas, just be gentle with me, and you can't expect much from her......
Bai Liyun's female guards surrounded the young man when he came in, and when they heard Bai Liyun's order, they did not hesitate to take this uninvited guest as a sandbag for practicing boxing.
The young man who came in was screamed by the sudden punches and kicks, and hurriedly squatted on the ground to protect his head with his hands, and shouted: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Ah! ”
Ren Xiaoyao listened to the voice, huh? It's familiar, it seems to be Xiao Huaiyuan's kid......
Since Pan Shangshu's rebellion, Ren Xiaoyao has not seen him again, and I don't know what bad things he has been doing recently. This kid has always been slippery, and although he has the upper hand in several battles of wits with him, he has suffered a few small losses, but Ren Xiaoyao still doesn't like him when he sees him. What bothers him the most is Xiao Huaiyuan's identity, Ren Xiaoyao still hasn't figured out who he is loyal to. Who would dare to associate with such an unidentified person?
Bai Liyun was taken aback when she saw that the person who came in seemed to be familiar with her husband, and hurriedly waited to stop the female guards from committing violence. The wife beat her husband's friend, which is too much to say.
Who knew that Ren Xiaoyao grabbed her, winked at her quietly, and then turned his head to look out the window, and said affectionately: "Ah! Lady, you see, what a prosperous and lively elephant! ”
Bai Liyun and Ren Xiaoyao have a tacit understanding for a long time, seeing Ren Xiaoyao doing this, how can they not understand what he means?
Bai Liyun turned her head and scolded the female guards viciously: "Didn't you eat? Beat him up to the old lady! ”
Then he turned around and leaned softly on Ren Xiaoyao's shoulder, and said softly: "Ah! Husband, the scenery is really beautiful......"
"Ren...... Brother Ren! I have intelligence! You pretend to be ...... again I'm not going to tell you anymore...... Ah! Xiao Huaiyuan's voice became weaker and weaker.
Ren Xiaoyao was shocked, rushed to Xiao Huaiyuan's side with an arrow step, stopped the female guard's fists and feet, and saw Xiao Huaiyuan lying on the ground, already dying, his whole body was twitching, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, not to mention, and even the corners of his mouth were foaming.
"Brother Xiao! How are you? Brother Xiao! Wake up! Brother, I came one step too late, but I didn't expect that heaven and man would be separated forever, how painful it was......" Ren Xiaoyao hugged Xiao Huaiyuan's body. Raise your head to the sky and cry.
"Brother Ren, save your energy...... I can't die yet......" Xiao Huaiyuan said weakly.
"Ahh Brother Xiao! Are you finally awake? Do you know how worried I am about you, little brother? ”
"Really? Brother Ren is really too troublesome, but Brother Ren, why do you keep holding on to your little brother? The younger brother is not as good as Long Yang's broken sleeves, so please let Brother Ren respect himself. ”
"Huh?" Ren Xiaoyao lowered his head in astonishment, seeing that he was really holding Xiao Huaiyuan. The damn boy wasn't polite to him. snuggled softly in his arms, like a bird, with a pleasant smile on his face, extremely obscene.
Ren Xiaoyao felt a chill in his heart for a while. With a disgusted face, he held Xiao Huaiyuan's head with both hands, and threw it out like garbage, Xiao Huaiyuan was defenseless for a while, his head hit the ground hard, and naturally there was a howl like killing a pig.
"Ahh Brother Xiao! What's wrong with you? The younger brother missed for a while. I hope Brother Xiao won't blame ......"
Bai Liyun couldn't stand it anymore, so she gave Ren Yao a fierce look, and led the female guards out of the private room, leaving plenty of space for these two shameless people to give full play to their hypocritical expertise.
"Okay, don't pretend, play pretending to be dead in front of me, you're still a little too tender, you've practiced kung fu, don't say you can't bear these beatings......" After Bai Liyun went out. Ren Xiaoyao stood up and poured himself a cup of tea, then sat on the chair and crossed Erlang's legs, smiling and admiring Xiao Huaiyuan's rolling and screaming.
Xiao Huaiyuan is also single, and when he sees that he can't hide it, he doesn't pretend anymore. Yigulu got up from the ground, walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, and the two sat opposite each other, just looking at each other and smiling. The smile is fake.
"Pan Shangshu has fallen, Brother Xiao. Who exactly are you loyal to, can you say it now? If you don't say it now, junior brother, I have no choice but to arrest you as a remnant of the Pan Party and torture you. Ren Xiaoyao looked at Xiao Huaiyuan with a smile.
Xiao Huaiyuan had a bitter face: "Brother Ren, the younger brother didn't offend you, right?" Why don't you let me go? We've known each other for so long, and I feel my conscience and say, has my little brother ever hurt you? ”
Ren Xiaoyao snorted: "I don't understand, what kind of bullshit identity are you?" Do you need such a mysterious one? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan said with a smile: "Compared with Brother Ren, the younger brother is not even a bullshit, so why should Brother Ren keep trying to force each other?" ”
It's too brain-wrenching to talk to this kid, and Ren Xiaoyao is like a dog biting a hedgehog, and he can't put his mouth shut.
Sighing, Ren Xiaoyao said helplessly: "Okay, don't talk about this." You just said you have intelligence, what intelligence? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan pretended to be stupid and said: "Intelligence? Did I say that? Didn't you? ”
"Someone! Give Lao Tzu a beating! ”
"Ahh Brother Ren! The little brother knows that he is wrong......"
“…………”
"Brother Ren, congratulations on holding great power and becoming a supreme minister from now on." Xiao Huaiyuan smiled first and arched his hand to Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao smacked his lips and said, "Why doesn't it smell right when you congratulate me?" ”
Xiao Huaiyuan said with a smile: "Brother Ren is really smart, Brother Ren knows, now you are the target of the courtiers?" You're in danger now......"
Ren Xiaoyao said with a sad face when he heard this: "I know, I have entered the palace several times to ask the emperor to cut my power, but the emperor has rejected it, alas, the emperor desperately lifted me up, and the ministers desperately pressed me down, what are these people playing?" ”
Xiao Huaiyuan said with a straight face: "Brother Ren has to be careful, the emperor has his own intentions for praising you, and the ministers have risen up to suppress you, but they are instigated by others, if Brother Ren does not handle this matter well, be careful and endanger his life!" ”
"Instigated? Who? Who can't get along with me? ”
"Brother Ren is in a high position before he is a weak crown, and no one is comfortable in his heart, so Brother Ren doesn't have to ask, it's better to plan early......"
"I've also thought about it, if I really can't hand over the power, then it's better to avoid it for the time being......"
“…………”
“…………”
The two closed the door in the private room of the Invitation Moon Building and discussed in a low voice for more than an hour, and then parted and said goodbye.
On the way home, Ren Xiaoyao's heart was heavy. Since Pan Shangshu fell, he always felt that there was an invisible hand in the court, making waves in it, and the most inexplicable thing was the emperor, why did he grant himself so much power? Isn't this lifting yourself to the fire grill and roasting? Also, the emperor abolished the old rules, transferred the fat man to the ministry, and ordered the prince to supervise the country, and then supervised hundreds of officials by himself, defended the capital, and after the court arrested a group of Pan Party officials, a large number of alternate officials were added to the court in time. Three months later, the four factions of the DPRK and China gradually took shape, the prince faction, the so-called conservative officials of the Qing school, headed by Wei Chengde. I am a faction with the fat man. And those newly added officials are a faction......
Look at this mess, Ren Xiaoyao's head has grown several times, doesn't the emperor hate his courtiers the most for forming factions? Looking at the current power layout of the court, the four factions in the court are clearly deliberately indulged and even deliberately matched. What does the emperor mean? Are you afraid that the world will not be in chaos? The old man is addicted to suppressing rebellions, right? This is not a good habit, and I have to persuade him when I have time......
After resting at home for a few days, Ren Xiaoyao didn't go to the court or see the expansion work of the shadow, and Wen Sen came to ask for instructions several times, saying that the Metropolitan Procuratorate should be selected for construction. was also blocked back by Ren Xiaoyao. Now is the sensitive time, Ren Xiaoyao doesn't want to arouse the disgust of the ministers anymore.
Hundreds of officials rose up against Ren Xiaoyao's grasp of power, one of the purposes is that they don't want to see the Metropolitan Procuratorate built smoothly, and they are happily accepting bribes in front of officials, who wants to suddenly have an agency on their heads to manage themselves?
Ren Xiaoyao knows their plans, but fortunately, Ren Xiaoyao himself is not keen on power, and he doesn't like to be busy with business every day. He was only interested in silver.
Speaking of silver...... Pan Shangshu has already been reviewed, is it time to go to his house to raid his house? Ren Xiaoyao touched his chin and pondered, Pan Shangshu had been an official for so many years, forming factions and pulling flags to rebel. These are all bottomless pits to be filled with silver, don't you have some economic strength? Maybe there is a mountain of gold in his house waiting for Young Master Ben to dig it, if Young Master Ben doesn't laugh, wouldn't he be sorry for his wife and children? There are four wives in the family. In the future, I will have children for this young master, if I don't make more money for my family. Where will I get the money to invite a nurse in the future? When the children are older, they need a dowry to marry a wife, and a dowry to get married, all of which cost money......
It's decided! Raid your home! It is divided into nineteen with the treasury, I am nine, the treasury is one, the transaction is fair, and the children are not bullied.
Having made up his mind, Ren Xiaoyao said in a loud voice: "Someone!" Come on! Go and call Vinson to come and see me! ”
As soon as the subordinates on the side went out, Wen Sen magically appeared in front of Ren Xiaoyao.
Now Wen Sen appeared in a more gentle manner, after being taught by Ren Xiaoyao once, Wen Sen was much more well-behaved, and knocked on the door before entering, so polite that he was like an elegant gentleman who had been taught by Confucianism for many years.
"Ho, you're fast enough, I said Lao Wen, don't you have nothing to do, just lie on the roof of my house all day long, waiting for me to summon you?"
Wen Sen hurriedly smiled and said, "My lord is serious, it just so happens that my subordinates have something to report to you......"
Ren Xiaoyao grabbed Wen Sen and walked out: "I'll talk about it later, tell all the shadow brothers to gather, let's go to Pan's mansion to raid the house......"
Vincent was puzzled: "Your Excellency...... Can you wait? Subordinates have something to report......"
"Nothing is as important as copying the house, to be honest, I wanted to copy the old Pan family for a long time, how dangerous it is to put the silver in the empty mansion! It's better to move to my storeroom......"
"Your Excellency...... Pan Wenyuan held the head of the cell to bring out the words from the prison, wanting to meet the adults for the last time. ”
Ren Xiaoyao walked out with Wen Sen carelessly, and said absentmindedly: "Okay, no problem, you go and tell him, when I finish copying his house, I will go to the prison to see him and ......have a good time with him."
After copying the house, talk about joy again? Vinson was a little speechless.
"My lord, you better meet with him first, maybe Pan Wenyuan has something important to tell you......" Wen Sen persuaded bitterly.
Ren Xiaoyao was also stumped for a while, and after thinking for a while, he finally stomped his feet: "Go!" Go to the prison first, this old thing will be stabbed, and there will be a lot of trouble, delaying the young master to make a fortune......"
----------------------------------
The prison still smells of gloom, and when he revisits the old place, Ren Xiaoyao can't help but feel a lot of emotion.
The last time Ren was imprisoned was the result of the emperor's compromise with Pan Shangshu, and it was done for Pan Shangshu to see, so as to stabilize the hearts of the Pan Party.
Less than a year later, Pan Shangshu himself came in, and he committed the crime of rebellion, and he would never be able to turn over. I can't help but feel that the world is impermanent, and feng shui rotates.
The prison is heavy and heavily guarded, especially the cell where Pan Shangshu is held, and the guards are even overlapping, and even the forbidden army and the shadow are stationed there.
Ren Xiaoyao is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and now he has great power, how can the guards not know him? There was no one to stop him along the way, and he came directly to the door of the prison where Pan Shangshu was held, and the jailer did not wait for Ren Xiaoyao's order, and took the initiative to open the big lock of the prison without saying a word.
Pan Shangshu was already a lot haggard, his hair and beard were gray, and when he saw that the prison door was unlocked, Pan Shangshu took the initiative to step forward, opened the door of the prison, and looked at Ren Yao: "You are here?" Come in......" (To be continued.) )
