When loyal ministers get together, that's called like-mindedness, and when the ministers get together, that's called forming a party for personal gain.

It's also a party, and the treatment of the annihilators is obviously much worse.

This is also one of the reasons why no one wants to be a minister from ancient times to the present, just like the evaluation of professional titles, loyal ministers have been rated as professors of Peking University, and they spray bullshit remarks such as "90% of petitioners are mentally ill" with the halo of professors all day long, but they are professors, and the words they say are covered with a layer of academic dazzling light, even a piece of shit immediately turns into gold.

On the contrary, if this was said by an ordinary rural private teacher, it is estimated that he would be lit in the middle of the night.

Title is indeed a thing that must be valued, and it makes the despicable people with the surname put on a garb of righteousness, and under the protection of holiness and brilliance, they unscrupulously do despicable and vicious things, even if they lose their conscience, they are also named "justice" without any guilt.

That's the beauty of fame. With the shroud of fame, even if you kill the whole family, it is noble and selfless.

This is also the reason why Xie Jin was in a hurry to stop Xiao Fan's words.

They want to be a loyal minister too much, this title is very important to them, or they think that they are loyal ministers, and if others dare to scold them for destroying them, they dare to stab them.

Xiao Fan glanced at the ministers sitting in the inner hall, and found that they were all looking at him, and their eyes were full of eagerness to be recognized.

Xiao Fan couldn't help but sigh secretly, are the people in the world who are burdened by fame just loyal ministers? Annihilators also have a good heart! Therefore, being a demon is like being a human being, you must have a benevolent heart, and with a benevolent heart, you will no longer be a demon...... Sighing lightly, Xiao Fan said helplessly: "Okay, even if we are all loyal ministers......

Ru Yu was suddenly dissatisfied: "Lord Xiao, what are you talking about?" The old man disagrees! What do you mean by 'even if we are all loyal servants'? We are loyal ministers! ”

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement, and condemned Xiao Fan's self-defeating remarks in unison.

Xiao Fan lowered his head in shame under everyone's condemnation, and then his face was solemn, and he said categorically: "Yes! We are loyal ministers! A loyal servant who is like a fake! Who dares to say that we are annihilating the party, we dug his ancestral grave! Drag his grandmother out and say it again! ”

When everyone heard this, they were finally satisfied, and they all said that this word was very good, and they said it together...... Xiao Fan was full of black lines, and said depressedly: "Don't you want to know what I'm going to tell you?" ”

Ru Yu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter what you say, the important thing is that we are all loyal ministers, and what loyal ministers say is correct and righteous, that's enough......"

Xiao Fan was silent: "............"

These guys want to be loyal ministers and want to go crazy.............................. "The Son of Heaven is sick, this is what we don't want to see......" Xiao Fan looked around at everyone in a sad tone, this is a bit unconscionable, Lao Zhu almost killed him twice three times, Xiao Fan wished he was finished sooner, but this real idea can't be said nonsense, it will lose his head.

The ministers nodded in unison, and everyone had a sad look on their faces.

Ru Yu was even more exaggerated, her small and round eyes blinked twice, and Leng made him squeeze out two reluctant tears.

Xiao Fan sneered in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang is so murderous, the surname of the ministers of the Hongwu Dynasty is the most unguaranteed, and these ministers must also wish that Zhu Yuanzhang would die early.

How dirty people's hearts are now! Duplicity, what is the moral bottom line?

Xiao Fan secretly sighed that people's hearts are not ancient...... "When today's son is a saint who has never been seen in ancient times, the three emperors and the five emperors, but unfortunately God has no eyes, and I let the son of heaven suffer from this illness, as the most loyal courtier of the great emperor, when I think of the son of heaven is seriously ill, I am so sad that I can't eat, I can't sleep, and I can't wait to suffer on behalf of the son of heaven......" Xiao Fan choked up, with a sad expression.

The expressions of the ministers gradually froze: "............"

This sycophant is patted, tsk...... Xiao Fan's face did not change, as if he had just said a few big truths that everyone knew.

Turning a blind eye to everyone's disdainful eyes, Xiao Fan said slowly: "...... However, people have no long-term worries, there must be near-term worries, the Son of Heaven is ill, I am afraid that there is not much time, for the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty, for the continuation of the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, we must take precautions as soon as possible, so as not to say that the Son of Heaven's illness is aggravated, and our courtiers have no time to prepare, and there will be a great ......chaos in the court."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions perked up, and they all raised their eyes and stared at Xiao Fan tightly.

Finally got to the point, Xiao Fan is now the commander of the Jinyi Guard, this position does not seem to be big, and he does not even have the qualifications to go to the court, but this position is the most trusted by the Son of Heaven, Jinyi Wei is a very sensitive spy organization, directly under the command of the emperor, and only loyal to the emperor.

Since Xiao Fan was promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the ministers of the court gradually realized the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards Xiao Fan.

The Son of Heaven shouted at Xiao Fan a few years ago, in addition to Xiao Fan really annoying the relationship between the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven still had another thought in his heart, not only to kill this young man's spirit, but also to take this opportunity to hone Xiao Fan's heart and surname, suppress Xiao Fan's will, and let him know the heaviness and majesty of the imperial power, which gave him fear, but at the same time, the Son of Heaven wanted to reuse him and give him a greater responsibility.

Hit a stick and then give a piece of sugar, the so-called imperial heart trick, is nothing more than that, both grace and power.

Knowing Xiao Fan's weight in the hearts of the Son of Heaven and the Taisun, the ministers suddenly had a number, if nothing else, Xiao Fan's future prospects are limitless, whether it is in front of the new and old generations of emperors, Xiao Fan's influence on the court will be significant.

Of course, the ministers who have a clear understanding of the situation cannot let go of this great opportunity to tie up with the future favored ministers.

Xiao Fan also gradually understood what everyone meant, so he smiled slightly, and said: "What your colleagues think, the lower officials can almost guess one or two, and like you, the lower officials are also very worried about the future situation in the DPRK and China......

Ru Yu stroked his beard, frowned lightly and said: "The Son of Heaven has always been diligent, and the early morning and noon dynasties have never been broken for decades, but now it has been changed to three days and one dynasty, it seems that the Son of Heaven is worried!" If the Son of Heaven really has something unspeakable, the grandson is young, and we should do our best to help, I don't know what Lord Xiao thinks of the future situation? ”

Xiao Fan said slowly: "Taisun ascends the throne, there will be a big chaos in the court, the lower officials do not shy away from it, in the eyes of the Qingliu ministers headed by the Chunfang lecturer Huang Daren, we are all annihilators who bring disaster to the country and chaos in the government, when the Son of Heaven is still alive, we can grasp and control the balance of the court, if the Son of Heaven is not there, His Royal Highness the Taisun is too young to control the court, Huang Zicheng and other Qingliu ministers will definitely not tolerate us, colleagues, a court battle is inevitable!" ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyelids jumped a few times together.

Xiao Fan's words reached their hearts, since the Ding Chouke case, they helped Xiao Fan in the court, since then they have formed a deep grudge with Qingliu, although the surface is still a group of harmony, but there is always intrigue behind the scenes, these words have not been less conflicting, if the Son of Heaven really dies, Huang Zicheng and other Qingliu will inevitably go all out, squeeze them out at all costs, in order to achieve the goal of Qingliu completely controlling the right to speak in the court.

The people here are all in front of the military department secretary, the household department secretary, the military department squire, these positions hold a very important power, if Huang Zicheng launches a clear stream, he will definitely not allow the courtiers in the court to hold such a big power, and they will definitely be squeezed down from their current positions, as Xiao Fan said, a cruel life-and-death court struggle is inevitable.

Ru Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he arched his hand towards Xiao Fan and said, "I don't know what Lord Xiao thinks?" ”

Everyone in the hall looked at Xiao Fan closely, although their expressions did not change, there was a little more urgency in their eyes.

Xiao Fan said lightly: "If they want to fight, then let's fight!" Who will kill the deer, it is not yet known, until the last moment, no one dares to guarantee that he is the biggest winner, do you know why the Qingliu faction has such a big influence in the court? ”

Ru Yu muttered: "Because they occupy too many positions of interest in the court, such as four of the six departments, as well as the left and right imperial history, Hanlin Academy, Dali Temple, etc., are all controlled by Qingliu, what one person says, all hundred people are attached, the court is huge, even the Son of Heaven has to respect them for three points......"

Xiao Fan smiled deeply: "Do you colleagues know why Qingliu responds to every call?" ”

Everyone was silent, but their expressions were thoughtful.

Xiao Fan continued: "It is no accident that they control the government and have a huge momentum, because ...... The Qingliu faction has faith, and they share the same faith! ”

The crowd wondered, "What is faith?" ”

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "Or faith is a little inappropriate, it should be said that they have a common slogan, respect Confucianism and respect Confucius, all the interests they ask for are guided by the words of Confucius and Mencius, and all selfishness is hidden in the glory of the saints, in the name of justice, so they are invincible in the court, challenging them, is to challenge the ancient sages, is to challenge the Confucianism of the country, to challenge the faith of the world's scholars, who dares to risk the world's disapproval, and the Qingliu-for-tat? First of all, in terms of righteousness, they are three points weaker, and under the lack of confidence, who can compete with them? ”

Everyone was silent, but their expressions had a look of approval.

"The words of the sage, of course, there is nothing wrong, we are all from the imperial examination, we are all famous, the words of the sage we read from childhood to old age, has long become the norm for us to speak and act, but...... If someone uses the words of the saint as a weapon to satisfy his selfish desires, it is a great disrespect to the saint, and now the so-called clear stream of the court is like this, so we are incompatible with the clear stream, and this is also the reason, the saints are respected in their hearts, rather than using their words to attack political opponents, this practice is really a kind of hypocrisy, pseudo-justice! ”

Xiao Fan's words lifted everyone's spirits, yes, they use the words of the saint to flaunt themselves and use them to attack others, which in itself is disrespectful to the saint, they are still justifiable, in this way, these clear streams are the real annihilators...... Everyone suddenly realized and cast appreciative glances at Xiao Fan.

"Lord Xiao's eyes are like torches, and he can see through the essence of Qingliu at a glance, and when I hear your words, I am like an initiation, and my mouth is suddenly opened!" Everyone was impressed.

Xiao Fan smiled modestly, but he was a little shocked in his heart.

Do these guys really believe their? The ancients weren't so easy to fool, were they?

To be honest, when these words came out, even he didn't believe it very much, it was too strong, and these old fritters in the officialdom who had been rolling in the DPRK for many years believed it?

Xiao Fan quietly glanced at everyone, and found that everyone was talking about admiration, but in fact, they didn't see much admiration, and their demeanor was basically like the little monk in the temple chanting Amitabha, which was very perfunctory.

Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Fan was stunned.

What these guys care about is not what to say, what they care about is who is the leader and Qingliu to fight, no matter what Xiao Fan says, they will echo it, and faintly carry Xiao Fan out to be the leader of this competition with Qingliu, let him go out of this way, and they hide behind Xiao Fan to coax the seedlings...... These old slippery heads!

Xiao Fan scolded fiercely in his heart.

"There is another advantage of Qingliu, and that is ...... Unite! Xiao Fan continued slowly.

"Solidarity?" Everyone asked in unison.

"When one person is in trouble, all sides support, they can unite to expand the influence of Qingliu to the greatest extent, play the greatest role in the court, and help each other, and the power of Qingliu will grow stronger day by day......" Xiao Fan looked at everyone's thoughtful expressions and smiled faintly.

"Everyone, think about it, since we and Qingliu are like fire and water, is it better to form a group like them, or do we fight separately and sweep the snow in front of the door by ourselves? A battle between the DPRK and China is imminent, and if you want to fight for the greatest benefits, if you still take care of each of you as before, you can assert that you will soon be crushed by the clear stream......"

Looking at everyone's increasingly frightened expressions, Xiao Fan slowly added: "The failure in the court, that is a human life, not only lose your own life, your family, clansmen, may be harmed, to put it simply, the fate of the loser is to be served by political enemies in a pot......"

The ministers were covered in cold sweat when they heard this, and the hostility with Qingliu was inevitable, whether they fought separately or everyone held together, whether to be broken by each political enemy, or to unite to exert greater strength, this question, it seems that a choice can be made without thinking...... Everyone looked at each other, was silent for a while, and suddenly stood up at the same time, and said in unison: "I would like to listen to Lord Xiao's arrangement......"

Xiao Fan looked at everyone fixedly, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, laughing very easily, revealing a sense of relief.

The foundation of their own court forces has finally been laid, whether this foundation is for their own interests or a temporary alliance formed by the situation, at least this force can be used for its own purposes, and that is enough.

In order to realize his ideals and ambitions, he must avoid Zhu Yunwen not being misled by Qingliu, and he can only take advantage of the situation to achieve his goals.

The process is not important, and the reputation is not important, as long as the goal can be achieved, Xiao Fan doesn't mind what method is used.

Good and evil were originally just relative words. There is never true good and evil in this world, and if you want to prove compassion, you don't have to be under the Bodhi tree, and the Shura butcher's knife can highlight great compassion.

Looking at everyone's awe-inspiring expressions, Xiao Fan said with a smile: "Colleagues are polite, since everyone is tied to the same boat now, the lower official will give you a meeting gift......

"What greeting?"

Xiao Fan's eyes flickered, but his face smiled as kindly as a spring breeze: "Xiaguan's Jinyiwei has recently cooperated with private businessmen and taken over a rice shop, hehe, it's just a small fight at present, but under the protection of Jinyiwei, it is said that Jindoujin is waiting, since your colleagues have been in the same boat, Xiaguan is not talented, and I am willing to give you one percent of the dry shares per person, and I hope you will laugh and accept it......."
