"Princess!?" Min Xuehong was shocked, who is Wang Chengen, I am afraid that there is no official in the capital who does not know, that is the old man who has been with him since he was the king of faith today, it is not an exaggeration to say that he watched the emperor grow up, Liu Fan is just a newcomer, how can he be compared with Wang Chengen? Min Xuehong couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but say, "This Liu Fan can actually be compared with the prince!?" ”

Wen Tiren sighed and said, "This is also where the old man is confused, and the old man didn't believe it before. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But Hou Sui's matter just proves the old man's guess, at least Liu Fan's weight in His Majesty's heart is more important than Hubu Shangshu! ”

Min Xuehong was frightened and hesitated, "Pavilion Elder, will Liu Fan find out about what we secretly did, and will the original plan still be carried out?" ”

"Why not? Liu Fan is different from Wang Chengen, he is a military general, and this identity is destined for him to fight on the battlefield. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and the war is not something that can be completed in a moment. As long as we find a way to transfer Liu Fan out of Jiaozhou, and Liu Fan leaves his lair, isn't it up to us to rely on a mere female streamer? Wen Tiren said with a smile.

"But you also said that this Liu Fan is not easy to deal with! When the time comes, don't steal the chicken and don't lose the rice, and fold ourselves into it! Min Xuehong was a little worried in his heart, and couldn't help but persuade him

Wen Tiren picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "If Hou Sui can't do it, it doesn't mean that the old man can't do it, Liu Fan's details have been investigated very clearly, and what he relies on is His Majesty's trust and military power in his hands." Trust can be dissolved, as long as Liu Fan is not by His Majesty's side, there will naturally be estrangement after a long time. Didn't Your Majesty intend to appoint Chen Qiyu as the governor of the five provinces recently, let's start here, Xuehong, you go and mention this matter to Chen Qiyu in person, and let him find a way to transfer Liu Fan to his command! ”

Min Xuehong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Elder Ge, Xuehong will handle this matter, do you want to inform Chen Qiyu and let him think of a way to wipe Liu Fan..."

Wen Tiren's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice, "It's not time yet!" Now that Liu Fan has won the trust of His Majesty, it will cause unnecessary trouble to kill him! You just need to tell Chen Qiyu my attitude, and he will naturally know what to do! ”

On the other side, Liu Fan was summoned into the palace again by Chongzhen soon after the palace, Qianqing Palace, the two monarchs and ministers sat opposite each other, compared to the words of the past, the atmosphere was a little dignified, and Chongzhen sighed after being silent for a while, "Jimin!" Why did you have to put Hou Sui to death? Do you know how much risk I'm taking? ”

Liu Fan was silent, he naturally knew how serious it was to dismiss a household secretary in the court. But Liu Fan is also ready to send an arrow, Hou Sui impeached him for eight major crimes in the Zhengdan court, once the charges are implemented, he will never have a place to turn over, it is foreseeable that if Hou Sui really succeeds, it will mean that all Liu Fan's hard work in the past two years will be in vain. At that time, what will happen to the people of the Ming Dynasty? By whom will be saved? Liu Fan, including Chongzhen, doesn't believe that anyone can do it, because history has proven it.

Seeing that Liu Fan didn't speak, Chongzhen was a little unhappy in his heart, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone, "Jimin!" It's only one time like this, and I don't want to see the same thing happen, you know? ”

Liu Fan lowered his head and said, "I know, Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Fan's tepid attitude made Chongzhen very annoyed, and with such an incident today, which made a festive day unrecognizable, Chongzhen couldn't help but explode anymore, and said loudly, "Don't you have anything to explain to me?" ”

Liu Fan raised his head, looked at Chongzhen's face flushed with anger, and said expressionlessly, "Hou Sui is the Donglin Party, and he has been on the opposite side of us from the beginning, such a result is doomed from the beginning, the difference is only a matter of time or time, Your Majesty is also very clear in his heart, no matter how much Liu Fan explains, there is no point!" Although the position of the head of the household department is important, it is not inseparable from him, and there are many people in the court who can be qualified for this position! ”

Chongzhen was speechless, Liu Fan was right, since he knew the fact that the Ming Dynasty was about to die, he, the emperor, was destined to make a choice, and if he wanted to save the Ming Dynasty, he was also destined to abandon a lot, the most important of which was the civilian official group headed by the Donglin Party. He had already been mentally prepared for this day, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so violently, which caught him, the emperor, a little off guard.

Taking a deep breath, Chongzhen suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Liu Fan, "Jimin!" You must know that our strength is still very weak, although I am the emperor, there are some things that I cannot say alone! Now that you are on the same page as the Donglin Party, it means that you have completely broken with the civil officials, and they are bound to do everything they can to put you to death. If things really develop to that extent, even if I am the emperor, I dare not say that I will be able to protect you, it seems that you will not be able to stay in this court, alas! Originally, I wanted to transfer you to the capital, and you and I would work together to reshape the dynasty and return me to the Ming Dynasty. My plans have been disrupted! ”

Chongzhen's heartfelt words moved Liu Fan's heart, as an emperor, Chongzhen can put down the shelf and explain to Liu Fan, which means that he regards Liu Fan as a person who can be trusted. But Liu Fan can't agree with Chongzhen's thoughts, Daming has rotted out of his bones, and with only Chongzhen as an emperor, it is impossible to save this rotten ship even if he adds Liu Fan, a traverser. He Liu Fan is not Li Hongzhang, and he has no talent as a "pastemaker". Chongzhen is not Cixi, he does not have the support of millions of Eight Banner magnates!

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Fan still spoke out and explained to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty! The minister is just a middle-aged person, and in the face of the elite gathering and the huge civil and official group, the minister is alone in the court, and it is impossible to defeat them. The only way is for us to train our own talents who are completely loyal to Your Majesty and replace the civilian clique, so that they can be defeated once and for all. But that takes time, Gou Jian has to lie down and taste the courage, and it will take ten years to gather and ten years of lessons to defeat Wu Guo. And we have to face the Houjin and Liukou, who are more powerful than the Wu State, and it is impossible to succeed without thirty or fifty years. But will the Rogue give us that much time? Will Houjin's Emperor Taiji give us such a long time? No! They won't! They are like two cunning hungry wolves, and as soon as we show fatigue, these two hungry wolves will not hesitate to pounce and bite hard. We have too little time, so we can only find another way, outside the existing system of the Ming Dynasty, and build another strength to deal with the upcoming crisis! ”

The truth that Liu Fan said Chongzhen is clear, but with the expansion of Liu Fan's strength, Chongzhen's mind has gradually changed, as an emperor, the most intolerable thing for him is the emergence of a force that he cannot control. Not to mention that this force was cultivated by him himself! But in the face of the huge pressure of the country, he had to rely on Liu Fan to open up the situation. While fully supporting Liu Fan, he also had to do his best to prevent Liu Fan from getting out of control, and the complex entanglement made Chongzhen exhausted! Therefore, Chongzhen wanted to limit Liu Fan through other methods, and at the same time, he could also make full use of Liu Fan's talents. Now it seems that this path is not going to work!
