A strange scene suddenly floated in Ren Xiaoyao's heart, he thought of the wordy Tang Seng in "Journey to the West", and he was still thinking about how if Tang Seng ...... Oh, no, if Pan Shangshu suddenly took his hand at this moment and sang to him affectionately: "onlyyou......" Should he slap him or stab him?

Fortunately, Pan Shangshu was not as unobtrusive as Ren Xiaoyao, and after inviting Ren Xiaoyao in, he sat on the simple bed in the prison and said lightly: "Lord Ren, the old man has some confidential things to tell you alone, can you ask the entourage to avoid it first?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao agreed: "No problem, Lao Wen, you go out first...... Wait! Before you go out, help me search his body, in case this old thing hides a weapon and stabs this official, then I will die too unjustly......"

Wen Sen replied in a low voice, and stepped forward to start a careful search of Pan Shangshu's body, and after the search, Wen Sen nodded to Ren Xiaoyao, signaling that it was okay, and then exited the prison door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Pan Shangshu smiled bitterly: "It is said that Ren Xiaoyao is greedy for life and afraid of death, and everything is the first thing to save his life, this is really true......"

Ren Xiaoyao smiled dryly: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, you can't joke about life-threatening matters...... You're in your sixties, you've lived enough, I'm still young......"

The two have always been enemies of life and death, and they have never had a friendship, and they don't need to have a hypocritical polite greeting first.

Ren Xiaoyao saw that there was not even a chair in the cell except for a bed, and there was no place to sit on it, how could Ren Xiaoyao be willing to wronged himself? immediately sat on the bed board unceremoniously, and squeezed Pan Shangshu, saying, "Hey, go over a little!" Not enthusiastic at all, and the guests don't say to give up a seat when they come......"

Pan Shangshu had to make room for him under the eaves, and the two of them sat side by side on a bed, facing the prison door, feeling like a pair of suffering grandfathers and sons......

"Tell me, what did you call me for? Our friendship hasn't reached the point of drinking and chatting together, right? ”

"Lord Ren, you have destroyed the old man's rebellion case by yourself, and the emperor is afraid that he will be more fond of you, right? Ren told the old man, has the emperor promoted you to any official now? ”

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, the emperor made me a marquis and ordered me to be the general of the capital garrison, in charge of the defense of the capital. And set up the Metropolitan Procuratorate and ordered me to supervise the hundred officials of the DPRK and China......"

Pan Shangshu stroked his beard, closed his eyes and thought about it, and after a while, he spoke: "Lord Ren, please forgive the old man for being blunt, now your situation is in danger......

Ren Xiaoyao was depressed when he heard this, a Xiao Huaiyuan, and a Pan Shangshu, all said that I was in danger, what do you mean? I have the word "unlucky" engraved on my face or what's wrong?

"The ancients said: Woe, blessing depends, blessing, misfortune lurks, Lord Ren is now a young man and is in a high position, do you really think that you can worry about everything from now on, hangover flowers?" Pan Shangshu slowly stroked his long beard and said, although he has been imprisoned, there is still a bit of calm official authority in his conversation.

What Ren Xiaoyao doesn't like the most is his current style, seeing that he is about to be stabbed, and he pretends to be profound, everyone is in prison, and he looks like he has no last resort, is it disgusting?

Ren Xiaoyao unceremoniously knocked off Pan Shangshu's bearded hand.

"Just talk about it, do you know who you are now? You are now a sinner of the people! It is a target of ****! Except for bowing your head and confessing your guilt, any other posture is not right! "Ren Xiaoyao is more righteous and stern than him.

Pan Shangshu was stunned when he heard this, a little annoyance appeared on his face, and then he disappeared again, regaining his indifferent expression.

Ren Xiaoyao saw that he was not angry, and his heart was even more strange, this old thing must have something bad in his heart, he was not angry at him for being so rude, the bad energy must not be small, he had to be careful.

"Tell me, what do you want to do when you call me here?" Ren Xiaoyao seemed to have entered his own courtyard, took off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on the bed, his feet trembling, looking like a ruffian.

Pan Shangshu directly ignored his rude behavior, and said with half-lowered eyes: "Lord Ren, if the old man is right, now you are in an embattled situation, right?" The courtiers must have made suggestions to the emperor to reduce your power, right? ”

"That's right." Ren Xiaoyao greatly admitted it. After all, Pan Shangshu has been mixed in the DPRK and China for decades, and his vision is still quite vicious, and his prediction of the government is also very accurate.

"The old man has a plan, but he can ensure that you firmly grasp the power in your hands, but the courtiers have no complaints about you......" Pan Shangshu whispered in Ren Xiaoyao's ear.

Ren Xiaoyao said: "You called me here just to tell me this?" ”

Pan Shangshu smiled and nodded.

Ren Xiaoyao looked Pan Shangshu up and down, his eyes were very strange, and he saw that Pan Shangshu felt weak for a while.

"Did the old man say something wrong?"

Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said, "That's right, you're not wrong." You're wrong, though. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Lao Pan, do you think that everyone in the world is like you, and likes to hold on to power and not let go. Even at the expense of rebellion, to consolidate the power in his hands? ”

Pan Shangshu looked stunned and muttered, "...... Isn't that right? ”

Ren Xiaoyao sighed and said, "It seems that you are not unjustly defeated, and you are even less unjustly dead...... Maybe you're right. But you're thinking me wrong. Pan, I'm not the kind of person you think I am. There are many beautiful things in this world, such as beautiful women and silver. Silk and satin, wine and mountain treasures...... I like all of this, but I don't like power, which is probably the most beautiful thing in the world. But for me, power is a very dirty thing, it represents ambition, desire, blood and bones, and if you really think that I want to hold on to power and not let go, then you are wrong about me...... Ay! Don't look straight at you! Do you know how to be polite? What are you thinking when I talk to you? Hey, I've told you so much. Do you think it's quite esoteric, and you can't understand it? If you don't understand, I can lower my level and try to be as simple as I can......"

Ren Xiaoyao muttered a lot, but saw Pan Shangshu looking at him with a smile. I can't help but be dissatisfied.

Pan Shangshu took a long time before he came back to his senses, and said, "...... In this way, the emperor gave you the right to supervise hundreds of officials, as well as the right to guard the capital. You don't want it at all? Is that what you mean? ”

Ren Xiaoyao nodded with a smile: "You can teach, I now know what your old thing has in mind." You're trying to help me come up with a bad idea. This is an exchange for me, such as saving your life or even helping you get out of prison, right? What a good calculation! It can not only let me and the emperor, or even fight against the prince, but also get rid of your current predicament, and indirectly help you make a comeback. ”

"Three birds with one stone." Pan Shangshu said bluntly with a straight face.

Ren Xiaoyao slapped his thigh: "That's right!" Kill three birds with one stone! Look, I'm not wrong, right? You've admitted it yourself......"

"The old man didn't admit it, the old man just helped you say the idiom......"

Ren Xiaoyao put on his shoes, patted the dust on his buttocks, walked out without looking back, and said: "Lao Pan, you should be honest and lie in prison, wait to be knifed as soon as the day comes, don't do any nonsense, it's almost seventy, don't do serious things all day long, and think about what." I'm telling you, you're dead, and no one can help you......"

"Wait! Please stay! ”

Ren Xiaoyao looked back at him.

Pan Shangshu sighed with a disgraced face, and said Xiao Ran: "Okay, the old man will say a few words to you, there are no conditions, you can listen to it, after listening to it, you turn your head and leave, the old man will never stop you." ”

"Say, hurry up, I'm in a hurry......"

The two were enemies of life and death, and after the victory or defeat was known, in the face of this old loser, Ren Xiaoyao always had some strange feelings in his heart, maybe only now, the two would talk calmly.

"Lord Ren, as far as the old man knows, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be going to attack you recently. If the old man expected it to be good, the courtiers have recently folded up to participate in you, and it must have come from the purging of His Royal Highness the Prince. And the emperor has nothing to say to you, but he may not have other ideas, the old man has observed for many years, and found that the emperor has the heart of Yi Chu in recent years, but the prince has not made a big mistake, so the emperor has not mentioned it, this time the emperor has swept away the old man's great work, so that you can hold the power, His Royal Highness King Fu must also have entered the Ministry of Officials, right? This is what the emperor wants to use the technique of weighing to form an opposition between you and the crown prince and achieve a balance in the situation between the DPRK and China. No emperor would watch his courtiers dominate the family, not even the crown prince. The old man is an example of iron......"

"Normally, the emperor will not oppose the party struggle between the DPRK and China, the party struggle means checks and balances, which means that the emperor has an opportunity to win over one faction and attack another faction...... In the final analysis, the emperor has been doing this all his life, and the reason why the old man has not been hit by the emperor all these years. It was because there was no opponent for the old man in the court, and in the court struggle, the emperor was helpless to take the old man, so he forced the old man to rebel, and he struck a blow. Once. Otherwise. On the power of the Chinese officials alone, why is the old man afraid? ”

"Now that the emperor has finally removed the thorn in the flesh of the old man, how could he make the same mistake as before? Therefore, His Royal Highness King Fu and you were praised at this time. On the surface. The emperor is rewarding you for your meritorious efforts in quelling the rebellion, but his real intention is to use King Fu and you to restrain the crown prince's dominance, at least before the crown prince ascends the throne. The emperor does not want him to be too full-fledged, thus fueling his ambitions, and in the future there will be a tragedy of cannibalism between father and son, if he can, the emperor would prefer to replace this ambitious prince and set up another prince, so as to save the emperor a lot of worries......"

Looking at Ren Xiaoyao's thoughtful expression, an imperceptible smile flashed on Pan Shangshu's face.

"The old man told you this because he wanted you to understand. Some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, the most ruthless emperor family, no matter how much the emperor favors you, he will not joke about his own country. And His Royal Highness the Prince, the old man advises you to be more wary of him, this person's ambition is great and his means are poisonous. The old man's life is only seen. With his character, he will never honestly wait for the emperor to die before ascending the throne. At the latest, in a year, or a few months at the earliest, he will launch a forced palace. - The old man will give you another big gift here, you listen carefully: the deputy general of the capital garrison, Qin Chong, the general of the border army of Xingqing Mansion, Guan Zheng, the palace forbidden army of thousands of households, Xu Bocun ......"

Pan Shangshu leaned into Ren Xiaoyao's ear and said the names of more than a dozen generals in the army in an almost inaudible voice.

"These people are ......"

"The old man's rebellion, the emperor must have been very worried about the generals in the army, taking this opportunity, the emperor will definitely carry out a purge of the generals in the army, the advantage of this is to consolidate the imperial power, and the disadvantages are also obvious, the people in the army are unstable and quite dangerous. Under the elimination of the other, the prince's power in the army has the upper hand, the names that the old man just told you are all secretly taking refuge in the prince, this is only a part of it, if the prince starts an incident in the future, they will go straight to the palace and force the emperor to abdicate. Pan Shangshu's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"You old thing can't fool me, do you? The prince has such a big influence in the army? How long has he been the crown prince? You've been the first assistant for 30 years, and you can't compare to him? Are you stupider than him? Ren Xiaoyao looked at Pan Shangshu with a suspicious expression, but he was secretly shocked in his heart.

Pan Shangshu smiled bitterly: "Then you are wrong, although he has only been the prince for ten years, what the people of the world want is justifiable, although the old man is the first assistant and has been operating in the court for more than 30 years, but the old man has no name and no share, how dare he wantonly make friends with the generals in the army?" This is also one of the reasons why the old man's rebellion failed. But the crown prince is different, he is the prince of the country, the future emperor, his identity gives him the greatest convenience, in the hearts of ordinary courtiers and generals, there is no big difference between loyalty to him and loyalty to the emperor, so the prince is more effective in wooing people than the old man, do you understand what the old man said? ”

"Since the prince has such a big power, why didn't he directly lead the army to force the palace? Instead, let the emperor arrange for me and King Fu to balance him? ”

"This is also a matter of title, if the prince forces the palace, he can't escape the people's mouth, the prince who was originally justified has become a chaotic minister and thief, how many years will it take him to win back the hearts of the people in the world after he ascends the throne? The emperor is getting older and older, and his body is not as good as day by day, if it is you, will you choose to wait quietly for a year or two, and then take the throne justifiably, or be impatient to raise troops to force the palace, and then spend years to win the hearts of the people of the world? What's more, except for King Fu in the capital, the other three princes are all in other places, if the prince dares to force the palace, the three princes are not fuel-efficient lamps......" Pan Shangshu sneered.

"Well, tell me honestly, what do you mean by telling me this? Let's say okay first, I don't have anything to repay you, to tell you the truth, you are dead, your whole family is dead, and no one has the ability to save you. ”

Ren Xiaoyao listened to Pan Shangshu say a lot, and he faintly realized a little in his heart. He didn't believe it at all, Pan Shangshu told him so much out of good intentions. Whether the two of them are in the court or on the battlefield, they are fighting to the death, Pan Shangshu will not be so kind to deliberately point out Ren Xiaoyao, a rookie in officialdom, before he dies, he must have his purpose.

Pan Shangshu suddenly raised his head and laughed: "The old man is nearly seventy, what is there to fear of death?" The old man just wants to watch a good show of father and son cannibalism under Jiuquan, and wants to know who can sit in this world and who will put whom to death. Karma, this is what God punishes them for! ”

I see. The old guy is really vicious enough, and he doesn't forget to pull people on his back when he dies, he wants to borrow my hand to guard against the prince, and even help the fat man to ascend to the throne and add some help to the emperor. He deliberately only said part of the crown prince's strength. This is to cause a vicious fight between the emperor and the crown prince of the Chinese Dynasty, and whoever wants to win this battle will have to pay a lot of hardship. And the old fellow saw that it was impossible for him to throw himself into the prince, so he said this.

Generally. Pan Shangshu just thought that the strength of the emperor and Ren Xiaoyao was no longer as good as that of the prince, so he secretly reminded that he wanted to balance the strength of the two terms and make the scene of the battle for the throne more exciting and bloody. He was even happier when he watched it. This guy is a master who harms others and does not benefit himself.

"In addition, the old man still has a reluctant request......

"You say, no, I can't promise you first." Ren Xiaoyao resisted the urge to kick him in the face and said lightly.

"Don't worry, the old man won't embarrass you. The old man's eldest son, Pan Tao, is still in prison, right? Didn't he betray his old man and ask for a whole corpse? The old man asked Lord Ren to take back his fate and sentence him to Ling Chi! Pan Shangshu gritted his teeth as he said this.

"Why?" No matter how you betray him, he is also his own son, why is his father so vicious? No wonder this old guy is such a failure.

"Anyone can betray the old man. Only the old man's family can't! It's not even good to own a son! If you betray the old man, you will have to pay the price! ”

This guy is simply a lunatic!

Ren Xiaoyao secretly rejoiced, fortunately he knocked him down, if he was knocked down, he didn't know how much torture he would have to suffer in his hands.

"Well...... It's not easy. I promised Ling Gongzi in advance, Ling Chi changed to self-hanging, and now I regret it, wouldn't it make people say that I don't believe in my words. I won't do a loss-making deal......" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes rolled, and he said with a pout. I habitually rubbed my fingers a few times......

A little disdain appeared in Pan Shangshu's eyes. Then he said lightly: "The old man still has a courtyard outside the city, and under an iron tree in the back garden of the courtyard, there are ten boxes of gold buried, which were originally prepared for ......the uprising."

Ren Xiaoyao was overjoyed when he heard this, his eyes emitted ten thousand golden lights, he happily patted Pan Shangshu's shoulder, and laughed: "Look at what you said, does this official look like that kind of person who is greedy for money?" Which of us is with whom, aren't you just Ling Chi your son? Okay, you see, okay, this is on me, if your son dies too happily, I am sorry for you......"

――That's an awkward thing to say......

After speaking, Ren Xiaoyao walked out of the prison door without looking back.

Pan Shangshu was stunned: "You ...... Why are you going? ”

"Raid the house!"

"Who's copying?"

"Raid your house!"

“…………”

A moment later, Ren Yao's head poked out of the cell door again.

"Hey, Lao Pan, do you still have gold and silver hidden in other places? Come, tell me, I'll say hello for you, and cut your whole family into pieces......"

"Get out! You vile and shameless villain! Pan Shangshu's angry roar came from the cell.

Ren Yao's head shrank back quickly in a roar.

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

Out of the prison, Ren Xiaoyao strode towards Pan's Mansion, and instructed Vincent as he ran: "Quick, tell the shadow brothers to gather and go to Pan's Mansion to raid the house!" ”

Wen Sen staggered after Ren Xiaoyao, and said bitterly, "My lord, don't be in such a hurry, right? You walk slowly......"

"Can you do it without being in a hurry? The official is in a hurry to get rich, and everyone will share it later, so you're welcome...... Hey, I said you hurry up, can you? It's not positive to make a fortune, you're too unmotivated! ”

“…………”

Pan Mansion has always been surrounded by the soldiers of the Longwu Army, and after the rebellion of Pan Shangshu, the servants of Pan Mansion have long been taken down and put into the prison, and the mansion has long been empty.

When Ren Xiaoyao arrived at Pan's mansion, his shadow subordinates were already waiting for him, and in addition, there was a large group of people watching the excitement in front of the mansion gate, and on the night the rebels entered the city, under the chaos of the soldiers, they killed many innocent people, so the people hated Pan Shangshu to the core. Hearing that Ren Xiaoyao was going to copy Pan's Mansion, everyone in the people praised him.

The shadow subordinates stood in a straight queue and lined up in front of the Pan Mansion, including the five hundred new members who were training, all of them arrived. Maybe Vincent had said hello in private, and let them all benefit later, so the shadow subordinates all looked at Ren Xiaoyao with joy on their faces.

Ren Xiaoyao was a little scratching his head at this time, and the army had to do a pre-war mobilization to improve morale. I wonder if I want to do a pre-war mobilization with these bastards? Thinking about it, let's say a few words, and lead a group of people to rush in to smash and loot without saying anything, it is too unreasonable......

With a clear cough, Ren Xiao looked at his shadow subordinates. Cultivate a little emotion. Passionate, he shouted: "Brothers! Any idea what we're doing here? ”

"Yes!" The subordinates had high-pitched voices and emotions in place.

"What are you going to do?"

"Get rich!" The crowd was passionate, and the cry shook the sky.

"Plop!" Ren Xiaoyao fell to the ground without an image. He scrambled to his feet, then glared at Vinson with a vicious gaze.

Vinson looked embarrassed, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and kept smiling at Ren Yaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao looked confused, in front of the stunned onlookers. Jumping foot scolded: "Fart! Who told you to come rich? We're raiding the house! Do you understand the raid? It is to charge all Pan Yi's family property into the treasury! We don't take a penny ourselves! Who the fuck dares to talk nonsense again, and go to prison for Lao Tzu! ”

Five hundred wolf-like subordinates rushed into the empty Pan Mansion, and Ren Yao ordered someone to close the door of the mansion, pointing at Wen Sen's nose and scolding in the gatehouse: "Are you a pig brain? Do you do that? Don't you understand the truth that you have to take advantage of the loss in the bright place, and in the dark place when you take advantage of it? If Ren Cai's words are known by the officials of the court, guess how many ministers I will be impeached? (To be continued.) )
