God treats the Ren family well, the world wants to get something, the Ren family has, but the ancients often said "blessing and misfortune lurk", good luck will always be exhausted one day, Ren is afraid, he is afraid that in the near future, everything he gets in front of him will disappear, and even, the entire Ren family may disappear in this world.

This kind of worry is not groundless, his son, Ren Xiaoyao, is involved in a battle for imperial power that no one can predict the outcome of, and if he wins, the Ren family can step into the ranks of the family gate valve and enjoy eternal glory. Defeated, slaughtered, no one alive, this is a big gamble, a big gamble at the cost of life.

"Zheng'er, have you thought clearly? Some things, once you get into it, you can't quit anymore, officialdom is like a battlefield, and you can move your whole body and participate in it. I can't help myself, and it's not too deep to fall into it now, and it's still too late to stop. Master Ren looked at Ren Yao and sighed.

Ren Xiaoyao looked stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Dad." You know it. Children are the most afraid of death, and they hide when they see danger on weekdays, and they go up when they encounter soft ones, with the temperament of children. How could he be willing to participate in such a dangerous struggle for the throne? ”

Ren Xiaoyao slowly looked around at everyone in the hall, including parents and wives. They are the only relatives in this world who feel a sense of belonging. Traveling to this strange era, Ren Xiaoyao's heart was already full of fear and rejection. He didn't think that crossing was such a happy thing, but he had already come, so he had to live well.

The so-called high-ranking officials and the so-called Wanguan family wealth, he didn't pay attention to it, the emperor promoted his official, he didn't see much joy, he made a fortune inexplicably, and he was not ecstatic. Because he always felt that none of this was real.

"I saw him rise up a tall building, I saw him feast guests, and I saw his building collapse."

Isn't that what I have now? Beyond the glitz, what you can really have. There are only these relatives in front of me. For their sake, Ren Xiaoyao could only choose to fight for it, because he knew that even if he didn't fight. The victor will never spare him and his family, unless he becomes the victor himself.

It's a simple multiple-choice question. Can adults make a choice without thinking and exit the fight? If you don't want to, you can't.

Ren Xiaoyao is not a great man, and he doesn't feel how great everything he is doing now, to put it bluntly, there is only one sentence, he doesn't want to die, let alone his family die, so he can only let others die. As long as his family can live well, even if he is forced to pull the flag and rebel and become the emperor, he will dare to do it.

Ren Xiaoyao slowly looked at his family, and said word by word: "There are some things that you can't do without doing, and if you don't do it, you can only die, so I have to do it, even if I lose and lose, at least I don't have to regret not fighting when I should have fought in the first place." The child has a family, it is my responsibility to protect the family, for you, even if the child sacrifices his life, he must protect you thoroughly. ”

Ren Xiaoyao, who is used to having a hippie smile, has never had such a positive expression on his face when he said this.

Master Ren trembled when he heard this, and a layer of tears instantly appeared in his cloudy old eyes. The son has really grown up, how could he, who was the bastard before, ever say such simple but touching words?

The child knows what he's doing, and that's enough.

Mrs. Ren and Qian Yun on the side had already been moved to tears, and in the hazy eyes of tears, they vaguely saw that the seemingly thin body in front of them suddenly became tall and strong, as if they could carry all the burdens and blows for them, and they were fortunate to see that the new pillars of the Ren family were slowly standing up straight, holding up a new sky for them......

It is rare for the family to sit together and enjoy this warm and touching moment.

It's a pity that the good times don't last long, and there are always those who don't have the eyesight to jump out and satisfy the bad taste of burning the piano and cooking the crane.

The serious expression on Ren Xiaoyao's face suddenly changed, becoming pitiful, and his tone was full of underbeating: "Hey, I was joking just now, Dad, why don't we just run away, the capital is very dangerous......"

The whole family froze when they heard the words, and then blinked vigorously in unison, as if they couldn't believe it, the person who was full of righteousness just now, and the fearless momentum of "although there are tens of millions of people, I will go" on his body, is he really him? How can a person's expression change to such an unpredictable level?

Now Ren Xiaoyao looks like a slut, no, it's too much to praise him, he is like a lump of cow dung that can be stepped on casually as long as it is not dirty.

Master Ren shook his head helplessly, and glared at Mrs. Ren again: "Look at the son you gave birth to!" ”

After saying that, Mr. Ren didn't bother to pay attention to Ren Xiaoyao, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and got up and walked to the backyard.

Mrs. Ren also got up, didn't glance at Ren Yaoyao, and followed behind Master Ren and said unconvinced: "My son was born to me, but he was taught by you, and you didn't teach it yourself, how can you blame me?" ”

"If you don't give birth to him, do I still need to teach?"

"Humph! How fresh! Then when I gave birth to him, why didn't you strangle him? ”

"If the old man had known that he would have grown up like this, do you think the old man would not dare to pinch him?"

"Then you can strangle him now."

"Alas! It's too late, he's definitely not happy to ......"

“…………”

“…………”

The two elders of the Ren family drifted apart in the quarrel until they disappeared.

Ren Xiaoyao stood in place, staring blankly at Ren Xiang, who had disappeared from the second elder, like a dead fish, motionless.

Qian Yun was beside him, and when he saw his stinky expression, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ren Xiaoyao came back to his senses, and said with a sad face: "You can still laugh, hey." I'm so unwelcome in our house? As for it? I'm also a lone seedling in the Ren family's thousands of acres, do you treat the lone seedling like this? It hurts my self-esteem too much, Mi'er, let's go back and pack up and run away from home......"

Qian Yun grinned. Pretty big eyes curved like a crescent moon. Shaking his head and saying coquettishly: "Husband, go and clean up by yourself, I haven't read the account books sent by the firm today, so I won't accompany you." ”

Qian Yun stroked Ren Yao's face and coaxed a child: "Good." You're going to play by yourself......"

After speaking, Qian Yun flew out of the front hall like a fluttering butterfly.

Only Ren Xiaoyao was left alone, squatting in the corner of the wall with great resentment, drawing circles aggrievedly......

--------------------------------

In the afternoon, Ren Xiaoyao went to the yamen of the ministry.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Officials is located on the north side of the imperial city. Because the officials were in charge of the evaluation, promotion, and transfer of all the officials of the Hua Dynasty, there was a lot of oil and water, and it was the beginning of spring, and the annual performance appraisal of the officials by the officials was about to begin, so the crowds at the gate of the yamen were surging, and there was an endless stream of officials from all over the country who came and went.

Ren Xiaoyao did not wear official clothes, only brought a few skilled guards, and as soon as he got off the official sedan chair and walked to the entrance of the yamen, many officials recognized him. For more than a year, Ren Xiaoyao's name is too big and loud, and it is very yellow and violent, especially since he also serves as the power of the inspector and hundreds of officials, who dares not to know this powerful lord?

The officials were like a group of old hooligans who had been familiar for many years and saw the flower girl. swarmed up, surrounded Ren Xiaoyao in the middle, and the flattery was like a gushing thing, which made Ren Xiaoyao smile. I was hooked. In the past, he always patted the emperor's sycophants, but now the eldest young master Ren enjoys the taste of being patted on the back. The pride is beyond words.

Finally getting rid of the group of enthusiastic officials, Ren Xiaoyao walked through the yamen lobby and walked inside.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Officials was built in the previous dynasty, because the land of the capital was less war-torn, so the Yamen was also relatively well preserved, but it was old, slightly old, but the old was full of antiquity, solemn and solemn in the more elegant.

There is a pair of couplets inlaid with gold characters on a black background on the side of the second hall of the Yamen: "If you deceive others, you don't deceive yourself, and if you bear the people, you will lose the country, and how can you bear it."

The fat man was working in the middle of the second hall, and the officials who came and went to do things went in and out, and the fat man was writing a book on the case, so busy that he was sweating profusely and couldn't lift his head.

On the copywriting on both sides of the second hall, the officials of the Ministry of Officials are also busy with their feet in the sky, the Ministry of Officials is the yamen of the officials, which is equivalent to today's Organization Department.

When the officials of the ministry saw Ren Yao walking in with a smile, they were all in one place, and then they all put down their work at hand and bowed to him one after another.

Ren Xiaoyao laughed, pressed his hands downward, and said in an official tone: "Oh, the comrades' enthusiasm for work is very high, not bad, you are busy with you, don't worry about me, ah, just be an official, ah, ordinary people, hehe, hey, the official is very relieved in his heart......"

The officials laughed with them, and after enduring the nausea and saluting Ren Xiaoyao, they confessed their sins and went to work.

The fat man also put down the work at hand, and came forward with a smile, his mouth was not yet spoken, Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand at him, still saying in an official tone: "...... Aren't you busy reporting to the official first, the official is not in a hurry, fatty, how old is it? How many people are in the family? Can you get married? On behalf of the organization, I care about you, do you have a sense of happiness that is sweet to sad? …………”

The fat man's smile froze, and his eyes straightened as he watched Ren Xiaoyao standing in the second hall of the Ministry of Officials and swaggering as a high-ranking official, and for a long time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Ren, why are you always so ...... every time you appear Such a ......."

"Shiny, right?" Ren Xiaoyao smiled and continued: "I think so too, just like fireflies in the dark, so ......"

"Distinctive, outstanding." The fat man didn't take it angrily, and then rolled his eyes.

Ren Xiaoyao turned his head to look around, pulled the fat man to a corner on the side of the hall, and said in a low voice: "You are doing well in the official department, not as miserable as you say, right?" I see that these officials in the Ministry of Officials are also very respectful to you, why do you keep saying that you are struggling? ”

The fat man smiled bitterly: "Of course respectful, but this group of old oilmen in the officialdom are all snobbish masters, and now it is rumored in Beijing that the prince is about to be deposed, and the hottest candidate for the new prince is King Shou, and now the officials in the court are divided into three factions, one is still loyal to the prince, the second is closer to King Shou, and the third is those who stop and watch." I don't say anything for the time being, but I, the blessed king, have become a real loner......"

Ren Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "Do you remember what I told you last time?" Don't care about the rumors outside, you will do your official business in a down-to-earth manner, and everything you do will be seen by your father. He naturally knew ...... in his heart."

Then Ren Yaoyao looked at his predecessor. sneered: "...... Some people are all over the world to win over ministers, go through the door, and form parties to build momentum for themselves, but they don't know that what the emperor hates most is forming a party. You and I are not a group, but we have the upper hand over them, and it is very good, you just keep the current posture, and there are some things that you can do at will. You might as well leave it to me......"

The fat man blinked and said, "What do I don't do at will?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Form a party." ”

The fat man was taken aback: "Didn't you just say that the emperor hates the most is forming a party?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao nodded and said: "The emperor hates the prince for forming a party for power, but I don't form a party for power." ”

"And what are you for?"

"For profit."

The fat man was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao said: "Since ancient times, whether it is civil or officialdom, people are united because of interests, and they are divided because of interests. So. If you want to win the crown prince's position, you should not simply win over the ministers and give a few heavy gifts, but also unite the ministers of the court and the central government, so that they are willing to tie you to the boat. And the reason why they are willing is 'profit'. ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said with a disapproving face: "Brother Ren's words are wrong. I am the official who has entered the office, and it is as small as the county lieutenant of a county. As big as the first-class and second-class officials, they all have the support of the imperial court, plus the filial piety and bribes of the subordinates they receive on weekdays, etc., who will be short of money to spend? It's too impractical for you to tie them up with the word profit. ”

Ren Xiaoyao smiled: "You are unrealistic." Who is afraid of money? Afraid of biting your hand? The bribes they accept are not the right way after all, if I give them an open way to make money, and ask them to symbolically participate in a small share, do you think they are willing? ”

The fat man still didn't dare to agree: "The people who are officials are all people who are light on profit and heavy power, and you use the word profit to unite them, this kind of relationship between profit and profit is too fragile." ”

Ren Xiaoyao sneered: "Light profit? Fatty, you look up to those officials too much, do you think they are really light on profits when they talk about light profits? Who doesn't have a small home? Who doesn't have a wife or concubine? When they encounter good-looking silks, precious jewelry, and ancient paintings from the previous dynasty, do they want to buy them? Where do you want to buy the silver? Have you ever seen an official who doesn't love money? ”

"Wei Chengde, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the old man is over sixty years old, and he has been in the court all his life, his official style is honest enough, right? But do you know that he raised a red-card girl in Baihualou, and he tossed all the money that the court gave him every year, making his family feel like he had suffered a disaster and was robbed, and he himself was shabby like a flower, do you say he lacks silver? If someone sends a bribe, he may not accept it, but if I give him a way to make money, and make money in a bright way, do you think he will be willing? ”

"Fatty, you are from a noble background, you were born as a prince, the emperor favors you, makes you a prince, gives you land and property, and you have a lot of properties under your name, so you have never lacked money in your life, and you don't know the importance of silver. But other officials are not born with no shortage of money to spend like you, do you think that only businessmen are profitable? In fact, officials are more greedy than businessmen, because they need money more than businessmen. Colluding with superiors, bribing subordinates, and even ...... What kind of official beard does not need to spend money? Therefore, let's use profit to attract them, so that they have a chance to earn money in a righteous and bright light, and are not afraid of being impeached by the officials, which is more effective than giving them heavy gifts. ”

"We don't talk to them about the government, we don't talk about alliances with them, we only talk about business, and those officials only maintain business dealings, on the surface, it seems that we don't get anything, in fact, you have invisibly obtained a great network base, because they have been tied to our interests, so in the future, whether it is the court or official affairs, they will speak to you intentionally or unintentionally, because to protect you is to protect themselves, and they understand the truth better than anyone else."

"And what are you going to do?"

Ren Xiaoyao said with a smile: "My Ren family has so many profitable transactions, as long as a transaction is carved out of it, ask them to participate in individual stocks casually, and wait for dividends in the future, such a good thing, who doesn't want to do it?" Our advantages, the crown prince and the king of Shou can't compare ......"

"As long as they join forces with us to do business, you will not be alone in the future, and this is not a party struggle for power, even if your father knows, he will not have a bad feeling towards you, I have thought about this matter, let me handle it, you will be your official honestly."

The fat man thought for a long time when he heard this, and finally nodded with understanding: "What you said is indeed quite reasonable, I grew up in the deep palace since I was a child, and later lived alone in the palace, and I don't think about the thoughts of the officials in the court as thoroughly as you." Brother Ren, I'm glad you helped me, otherwise...... I really don't know how to hold it up. ”

Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said: "You're welcome, who is with whom of our brothers, I know that you have been short of silver recently, and I specially sent you silver today, hehe, I am sending charcoal in the snow......"

Saying that, Ren Xiaoyao took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, didn't even look at it, and stuffed all his brains into the fat man.

The fat man was really short of silver recently, and he didn't be polite to him, he took the silver ticket and counted it at random, and found that there were more than 40,000 taels, so he couldn't help but look up in surprise and said: "So many?" How did you get it? ”

Ren Xiaoyao shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Do you remember when I told you last time that I wanted to rob the head of the household department, Jun Songjun?" ”

The fat man trembled with fright, his fat was like waves, his face suddenly became extremely pale, he trembled his lips, and lowered his voice: "You...... Did you really rob Du Shangshu? Brother Ren...... You, you're not really so slippery, are you? ”

The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched as he spoke, and he was already about to cry.

Ren Xiaoyao cut and glanced at the fat man contemptuously: "Is my character so bad?" Can the book of the household be robbed casually? Do you really think I'm the kind of daring master? ”

The fat man's heart was relieved when he heard this, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and collapsed and said: "It's okay, it's okay......"

"I'm just robbing his subordinates, Juniper-kun, let's step on the idea for a few more days and find a chance......"

"Plop!"

The fat man covered his heart, looking at Ren Xiaoyao painfully, he felt that knowing Ren Xiaoyao was a painful and happy thing, this classmate who knew the academy, had a different thinking from ordinary people, and often frightening way, for the fat man who had lived plainly for more than ten years, and Ren Xiaoyao was really the biggest challenge in his life, - the fat man's heart has not been very good.

"Brother Ren, you are a member of the court, I am a prince, we haven't gotten mixed up yet, why are you always thinking about robbing others? Du Shangshu did a good job, recruited you to provoke you? The fat man expressed incomprehension of Ren Yao's potential violence factor.

Ren Xiaoyao squinted and smiled, Lao Tzu is the second master of Qinglong Mountain, what he does is to take the initiative to provoke other people's business, why wait for others to provoke me?

"Hey, let's not talk about this for now. Fatty, there's good news, or bad news, which do you listen to first? Ren Xiaoyao said with a smile.

The fat man shuddered when he heard the fat all over his body, and every time Ren Xiaoyao said this, it meant that the two news were bad news, and he couldn't try it.

"Uncle Ren, are you my own uncle? What's the news that scares my heart? I'm a little uncomfortable, so let's talk about the good news first. The fat man cried and groaned as he clutched his heart in pain again.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the fat man sympathetically, but unfortunately, there is no medicine like a quick-acting heart pill these days, and the fat man's fragile ability to resist blows, how can he survive in the treacherous struggle for imperial power in the future.

"The good news is that I accepted a godsister today, named Ye Ling'er, that girl is virtuous and virtuous, quiet and dignified, and kind-hearted, but the craftsmanship of killing is a little rougher, two big living people stand in front of her, she doesn't even hurt people's ...... with cold hair"

"Is this good news?" The fat man said weakly: "Okay, congratulations on finding a godsister who can't kill." - What about the bad news? ”

Ren Xiaoyao smiled as warmly as the warm winter sun: "The bad news is." For the sake of my godsister, I have completely turned against His Royal Highness the King of England, fat man, I will see the King of England on the road in the future, and I don't need to give him face again. Whack him doggy! ”

"Woo-" The fat man only had time to groan. And the man fainted.

was so frightened that Ren Xiaoyao was in a hurry, beating his chest and pinching people, and it took a long time to wake up the fat man.

The fat man woke up slowly. I cried when I saw Ren Xiaoyao, crying miserably.

"Brother Ren, you don't know that we can't afford to offend King Shou and King Ying now, right? How did you offend the king? That guy hasn't been a good stubble since he was a child, and he's a master who will repay him. How will we live in the future, woo woo......"

Ren Xiaoyao sighed and said: "I can't help it, if I didn't turn my face with him at that time, my godsister who I just recognized would be killed by him. ”

The fat man showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Praise you? Praise you for driving us into a corner? Do you know that King Shou is now in the limelight in the capital? Last night, his father announced that he had entered the palace and took the school policy test, and I heard that he behaved remarkably in front of his father. Even his father, who rarely praised people, couldn't help but praise him a few words, if he became the prince one day...... Woo, Brother Ren, we're finished...... Let's find a rope and hang ourselves......" (To be continued.) )
