After a cup of flowers, Xie Zhan's mind was slightly sluggish.

He couldn't remember what his father had told him at the time.

How do you say that? It seems to say that Xin Muyuan is only suitable for being friends, and she deserves to be loved by more excellent and powerful people, and she does not need him to protect herself.

Xie Zhan propped his head, unable to understand.

Is that really the case?

That seems to be the case, at least for now.

Every time he wants to do his best to protect that person, but every time he protects him, it will bring more trouble to Xin Muyuan.

He thought that he had given all his love and protection to Xin Muyuan, but now it seems that it is not.

He helped Xin Muyuan vent her anger and made her the target of the ministers.

He helped Xin Muyuan speak, in exchange for his mother talking to Xin Muyuan again and again.

He wanted to give Xin Muyuan an upright favor, not to hide it from the people of the world, and to give her a grand preference, but it attracted the attention of the princess.

Xie Zhan gave up the wine glass and poured the wine jug into his mouth.

He and his father often drank it because his mother didn't like them to get drunk. And this flower brew has the fragrance of wine, and it will not be drunk and unconscious.

But Xie Zhan felt that this flower brew was particularly intoxicating today.

He didn't know how he got back to his room, only that when he opened his eyes, it was the next morning.

Look at the sky outside, it's okay, I didn't miss the early dynasty. He got up to get dressed, but his skull felt like an explosion, and it hurt suddenly.

"Strange, isn't this flower brew intoxicating in the past?" Even if it's intoxicating, it won't give him a headache so much. It's weird, it's just weird.

Xie Zhan endured his physical discomfort and got dressed and washed, and the Protector had already left.

"Why did he leave so early today?" Xie Zhan slowly stuffed something into his mouth.

Xie Xiaodao said: "The Protector said that you drank too much yesterday, so let you rest more." ”

Xie Zhan nodded, and his head seemed to explode again.

He had to put down his chopsticks and cover his eyes and eyebrows.

Xie Xiaodao stood behind him worriedly, helped him rub his temples, and asked softly, "Shizi, why don't you rest today?" ”

Xie Zhan shook his head: "I've already wasted one rest this month, and I can't ask for leave anymore." During this time, Mu Yuan was targeted by the princess and my mother, and I was worried that I wouldn't have time to save her when she was in danger. ”

Xie Xiaodao pursed his lips.

He didn't understand how Xin Muyuan could be so favored by the prince.

I couldn't eat breakfast, so Xie Zhan dragged his tired body to the morning court.

On weekdays, it is not allowed to bring a small servant, and there is a protector by his side, so Xie Xiaodao never follows Xie Zhan.

But today's situation is too special, he is really worried that if he doesn't follow, Xie Zhan will faint halfway, so no matter how Xie Zhan refuses, he still followed Xie Zhan to the palace and stayed outside the palace.

The minister laughed at him: "Xie Shilang is really a big face, and he is even more expensive than that Shangshu and the prime minister." ”

Xie Zhan smiled and said, "It's probably because of my usual virtue and service, so that I just have a hangover and haven't woken up today, and the attendants follow me every step of the way, worried that something will happen to me, and I can't drive away." ”

The smile on the minister's face froze, and his voice was cold: "Xu is Xie Shilang misunderstood, is it that you are too drunk and crazy on weekdays, and even the attendants are worried that something will happen to you in front of the palace?" ”

Xie Zhan looked serious and thoughtful, nodded, and said, "What you said is right, maybe this is the reason." Why don't you test your own squire and see if he is going or staying? ”

The minister's face froze completely, his gaze swept over Xie Zhan coldly, and he focused on something else, ignoring him no longer.

Although he was not convinced, he had to admit that he did not dare to do this experiment. People die for money, birds die for food, he has walked in the world for so many years, and there are very few people who can be trusted.

The men under him were busy showing their loyalty, but they knew how much friendship they had in their hearts.

If it were him today, and his men would be afraid that it would be too late to escape, how could they stay outside the court and wait for the summons and the Savior at any time?

"The emperor has arrived—" The eunuch's sharp voice sounded, and everyone's eyes fell back one after another, and they stood respectfully in their positions with their eyes down, kneeling three times and bowing nine times and shouting long live.

The voice of "something to play, nothing to retreat" fell, and the ministers who were holding Yugui in their hands walked forward one by one as if they were dumplings.

Xie Zhan stood there quietly, thinking with his own reason, occasionally making two objections, or suggestions for gain.

The words were very good, and the emperor and ministers listened to it and felt that there was nothing wrong. But the emperor still felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Xie Zhan today.

Eventually, some of the reformist party's questions angered the conservatives, and Xie Zhan made a brief analysis of the pros and cons and put forward several suggestions, which eased the pressure on the conservatives and promoted the progress of the reformists.

But this is clearly not the appetite of the old school.

They want the gold and silver of the past, not the glory and wealth after the reform.

Thus, the attack on the reformers suddenly became an attack on Xie Zhan and the reformers.

Some ministers sneered, looked at Xie Zhan coldly, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xie Shilang was drunk yesterday and was not sober up, and he talked nonsense." If the land is privately owned and the land is publicly owned, what a burden will it bring to the state! Have you counted the manpower? ”

Xie Zhan summed it up in one sentence: "Public ownership of land can drive people's tax revenue and increase the overall income of the country." Do you think that your own funds are more important than the state, or do you think that your taxes alone can top the taxes of tens of thousands of people? ”

There are big loopholes in the country's tax system, and no matter how much these people earn, the poll tax is always that much, even if other taxes are added, it is really pitifully low. In particular, these people are greedy and insatiable, trying to evade taxes by all means, and the country's revenue has become a big problem.

After Xie Zhan finished expressing his views and opinions, he fell silent.

Those people relied on his physical discomfort and did not want to talk more, and pressed him everywhere. Those who supported Xie Zhan immediately took over the topic, especially those reformers who sincerely admired Xie Zhan, no matter what the old guards said about Xie Zhan, they could always skillfully pick up the conversation.

Several people argued for a long time, and finally put the decision in the hands of the emperor.

But this is undoubtedly a sheep's mouth.

Who wouldn't want to have a little more on their account? These dignitaries and nobles hope that the emperor hopes more than them. Therefore, the moment the decision was put in the hands of the emperor, Xiao Changting did not hesitate to choose the reformers.

At this moment, the old school was not lightly angry, and a pair of bloodshot eyes stared directly at Xie Zhan, and hatred almost gushed out.
