Lan Qi came out of the mansion in the Dangu Valley, glanced back at the mansion gate, sighed and got into the carriage.

"I waited for you to ask me something other than the struggle for hegemony and the seizure of power, but you didn't ask about it throughout the conversation. Since you don't ask, then I won't say it. If you ask me how to dominate the world and how to monopolize power, I will tell you all these methods, but when you get the final fruit, don't regret it!

"Moral utilitarianism, you know the word utilitarian, but without morality, utilitarianism will only lead to endless disputes. Having power is a very tempting thing, because everything can be controlled by yourself. But the control of the pivot is really on the cusp, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed. With what I taught you, you won't be crushed, but you still have to bear the pain of loneliness and helplessness and repeated suspicion, and I just hope you won't regret it when the time comes. Lan Qi got into the carriage, sneered, and then muttered to herself.

Lan Qi has always had insight into everything, and he is also very aware of the contradictions between Xian Guzhong and An Yun's old ministers.

Because An Yun Laochen has experienced too many things, he has no passion, and he has taken a cautious attitude towards everything. An Yun's old ministers can fight non-stop for some trivial matters, but no one dares to speak up about major matters that have a bearing on the overall situation. Because of any mistakes made in small things, with their status and status, they can be easily settled; But if something goes wrong in a big matter, it may face a catastrophe.

And Ken Valley has some ambitions to establish a hegemony in this troubled world. An Yun's ministers are also loyal to him, but they quarrel non-stop in small matters, and they only want to maintain the status quo in big things, and Xian Guzhong has long been impatient with them.

Lan Qi clearly knew that when he proposed to abolish Zaifu and implement the cabinet, An Yun's old ministers were already dissatisfied with him. Although Xian Guzhong was very supportive of him and wanted to appoint him to important positions many times, Lan Qi still wisely refused, and in addition to daily official duties for several years, he was reading and writing, and tending to flowers and plants. It's not that Lan Qi doesn't want to do a big job, it's just that he knows the time hasn't come yet.

Now that after several years of development, An Yun's strength has initially recovered, and the authority in the Xian Valley has also been initially established, a reform is imperative, and Lan Qi's heart is also agitated.

But he knew that he had to be patient, he couldn't go head-to-head with An Yun's ministers, and he couldn't be suspicious of Xian Guzhong. He now has a certain status, but this status is still insignificant compared to the two sides of the struggle, so he can only endure it.

Lan Qi is a person who is unwilling to be ordinary, he does not want to be pressed by An Yun's ministers, nor does he want to be just a fortunate minister in the Dangu Valley. But Lan Qi is not an ignorant person either, he will not do anything until the time comes.

When after a struggle, when Kengu longs for loyal subjects; When Anyun's ministers longed for peace and were ready to compromise after a fight, that was the day when he could make his most ambitious moves. Lan Qi has been waiting for this opportunity.

With a cup of tea and a book, Lan Qi returned to the mansion and lived a quiet life again. At this time, he missed the days with Han Taozi very much, and thought about it, so he read the letter sent by Han Taozi again.

In fact, Han Taozi, who is far away in the southeast, also misses Lan Qi very much, because in the southeast, there are too many disturbances, so that people don't know what the truth is.

When Han Taozi first arrived in the southeast, the scholars in the southeast often invited her to participate in some poetry and painting activities and other activities. But Han Taozi saw it very clearly, most of them came with the intention of watching the excitement, and with some frivolous people, they even said some frivolous things to their faces. Because everyone thinks that she has an ambiguous relationship with Fan Yuyi.

Han Taozi didn't like all this, so she no longer accepted the invitations of those scholars, but her reserve made her reputation spread in the southeast.

Later, Fan Zhiyi took her to visit some learned people, so that she could see the other side of Southeast Shilin.

In a place far away from the bustling and the sound of singing and dancing disappearing, some people are silently sorting out the classics and proofreading the books left by their predecessors, just to provide convenience for future generations to study; Some people are dedicated to spreading culture and education in their hometowns, subsidizing the poor and unable to live, and setting up academies so that more people can read and write.

Han Taozi went from one world to another, and her heart was also infinitely emotional.

They are also readers, and some of them sell some poems that are innocent and moan, and praise each other to show their wisdom; And some people, enduring loneliness and loneliness, study the truth and truth, just to seek the true knowledge in their hearts.

Some people get together and talk about the world and the country, for fear that others will not know their loyalty, but behind their backs, they will do everything to fight for power and profit; And some people silently lecture and quietly spread culture, so that one after another people can gain knowledge and understand the great truth, so as to live a happy life.

Under the guidance of Fan Yuyi, Han Taozi saw the other side of the southeast, and getting along with these truly learned people, Han Taozi was finally able to open his mind.

At the beginning, these people who don't like flashiness and love true knowledge are not angry with Han Taozi. Some people looked at Fan Zhiyi's face and complimented him a little; Some people directly raised their eyebrows and ignored Han Taozi at all.

But Han Taozi is also an insightful person after all, plus she is sincere in her studies, many people with eccentric tempers finally accepted her and were willing to discuss knowledge with her.

The name Han Taozi spread throughout the southeast for a while. In the flashy world, the scholars all said that Han Taozi was a rare beauty, and being able to get involved with the governor was even more valuable, which only attracted many people who wanted to see her, and the invitation to her to attend the poetry and painting meeting was never broken.

In the lonely but thick world, those who have a certain amount of knowledge know that the woman next to Fan Jiyi is really a talented person, and they are all happy that Fan Jiyi can find such a good couple.

These rumors have never been broken. Han Taozi just wanted to learn something quietly, and didn't want to pay attention to these, so she could only close her door and stay away from those rumors.

It's just that the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop. Today, Fan Zhiyi's main wife came to the door and expressed her willingness to accept her into Fan's house with a tolerant and generous attitude, and only hoped that she could serve Fan Jiuyi wholeheartedly.

Han Taozi saw that Fan Yuyi's wife came to the door, and already knew that the matter could not be avoided, so he decided to find a way to clarify the matter.

After leaving Fan Yuyi's wife, Han Taozi returned to the room. She took out the letter sent by Lan Qi, and read Lan Qi's words without any emotion, but full of concern, and she already understood that among all the people, only Lan Qi was really good to her.

"Knock knock" knock on the door, Han Taozi came back from his thoughts and walked out, got up and opened the door, it turned out to be Fan Yuyi coming.

"I heard that my lady came here just now, and she didn't do anything to Miss Han. Miss Han is a distinguished guest, and it is really rude for her to come to the door like this. Fan was a little cramped, and asked with concern in his words.

"Your lady is knowledgeable, so naturally she will not be as rude as a woman in the mountains and villages. Not only did he not blame me, but he was also polite to me. Han Taozi said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good. If Miss Han is wronged, but I can't be restrained. Fan Yuyi listened to Han Taozi's words and said with a sigh of relief.

"Your lady was very polite, expressed her willingness to let me enter the door of the Fan family, and said that she should treat me as a sister. I just want to ask Mr. Fan, is that what you mean? Han Taozi asked.

"She actually said that? That's really ...... It's really ...... I don't know what Miss Han means? Fan was half excited, but nervous, and didn't know how to answer, so he could only ask rhetorically.

"I just want to know what you really think, Mr. Fan, please be able to tell me." Han Taozi said.

"My thoughts? She came to you, not what I meant. Maybe I've been complimenting you these days and giving her some ideas. However, Miss Han and I are also very compatible, and I am also very happy to discuss knowledge and righteousness these days. If I can form a marriage with Miss Han and share honor and disgrace from now on, I am also very willing. Fan said.

"In fact, I am also very happy to be able to discuss knowledge with Mr. Fan and talk to him. Mr. Fan has a benevolent heart, but he is in a high position, and he is very lonely because he has no one to confide in. I am also happy to be able to understand Mr. Fan's mind and share a little worry for Mr. Fan. Han Taozi said.

"So, is Miss Han willing to share everything with me? It's in that too! If I can get a beautiful woman, I will definitely treat her with all my heart, although I already have a main room, but I will never put Miss Han in the position of a side room. All the etiquette of marriage, and the treatment after marriage, will definitely not be any different from the wife of the main room. Fan Yuyi immediately promised.

"If I had met a learned and very benevolent person like Mr. Fan before, I would have entrusted me with nothing for the rest of my life. But now I just want to ask Mr. Fan, I can understand your heart, so can you understand my heart? Han Taozi said.

"Of course I can understand Miss Han's heart. Miss Han is a talented woman with a lot of knowledge; He traveled all over the world to seek true knowledge in the world, and this perseverance was unmatched by many seven-foot men. I've always respected Miss Han. Fan said.

"Now that Mr. Fan already knows, don't talk about the marriage anymore. Over the years, I have always wanted to know what the real knowledge of the world is, and how to make the world truly love the world. I have also learned a lot from Mr. Fan in the past few days, especially Mr. Fan's benevolence to people in the world, which has benefited me a lot. But I still haven't found what I'm looking for, so I'm going to keep pursuing. Han Taozi replied.

"Is that why? What's so difficult about that, Jiangnan has a very prosperous literary style, and there is no shortage of learned and knowledgeable people. After we get married, I will recruit talents from Jiangnan and discuss the truth of the world, and I think you will definitely get what you want. Fan Yuyi said with some urgency.

"What about after finding this world's best reason? I found this world's reason, and then with my body, I was locked in the deep courtyard, and I couldn't do it for the rest of my life, so it was better not to find it if I found it. Han Taozi said resolutely.

"But you're just a woman after all, what else can you do? Let you be an official and display your talents, I'm afraid you and I will be scolded to death by others. I can guarantee that when we get married, we can consult with you on all political matters, as long as we don't let others know, everything will be fine. When Jiangnan Dading, the world has enjoyed the blessings of the world, and all of this is due to you. Fan said.

"I'm sorry Mr. Fan, I still can't say yes. I didn't find what was in my heart, so I'll keep looking. Perhaps, as you said, even if I am a woman with high talent, I am destined to not be able to get it, but I am still unwilling to be in a deep courtyard and end my life. Han Taozi pursed her lips and said with a smile.

Fan Zhiyi listened to Han Taozi's words, his heart was also shaken, he saw an unyielding heart, if Han Taozi is a man, and she is cultivated as a successor, what is not to do? But she's just a woman.

Fan Zhiyi was unsettled, his feet were floating, he couldn't help but take two steps back, stood still and looked at Han Taozi, and opened his mouth to say something, but there was a bitterness in his throat, making him speechless.

"Mr. Fan, you have nothing to do!" Han Taozi sensed that something was wrong with Fan Yuyi, so he asked.

"Nothing, nothing, just a little sad. Not being able to get along with confidants day and night is also my blessing. I can't give you the knowledge you want, nor can I give you the freedom you want, I'm afraid to keep you by my side, and I'm wronged you. It's me who is incompetent and incompetent, and can't perceive the true meaning of the world; It's me who is restrained and courageless, and I dare not confront the raging world. How can an incompetent and courageless person be worthy of such a strange woman as you, I am abrupt. Fan Jiyi sighed.

"Mr. Fan, I didn't mean that, it's just that I don't want to get married for a while." Han Taozi replied.

"Miss Han, don't worry, no one will embarrass you. You can go wherever you want; You can leave whenever you want. That's the only thing I can do. I only hope that Miss Han doesn't have a problem in her heart. I, Fan Zhiyi, am also a person who can afford to take it and put it down. After Fan Zhiyi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Han Taozi looked at Fan Yuyi's back, turned the porch and disappeared, and was also a little moved in his heart.

"If the first person I met was Mr. Fan, instead of Master Lan Qi, then it would not be impossible to stay in Jiangnan to share Mr. Fan's worries. But the master has passed on his pride to me, and how can I be willing to be unknown now. Han Taozi had tears in her eyes, sighed, and closed the door. (To be continued.) )
