There was silence in the Fengtian Temple.

The east outside the hall has appeared a trace of fish belly white, the sky is about to dawn, but the hall is headed by Huang Zicheng, their mood is still in the dark, this morning the situation of the dynasty is shocking, so that they feel frightened from the bottom of their hearts, trembling.

Since when did a weak-crowned boy who has only been in the court for half a year quietly weave such a huge net in the court? Huang Zicheng, who was a prince of the Manchu Dynasty and an official of the Six Ministries and Nine Qing Secretaries, was originally attracted by him and used by him, and Huang Zicheng, who was originally a faction of Qingliu in the court and the central government, symbolizing the prosperity of the monarch and the sage and the sage, did not deeply discover until today that the so-called Manchu Dynasty Qingliu was just a kind of self-deception, and the ministers had long been separated from each other, just maintaining a superficial harmony.

And Xiao Fan, a talented scholar who was born in the same jinshi, so skillfully brought together these ministers who were alienated from Qingliu to form a new court force that opposed Qingliu.

Huang Zicheng was puzzled, a mere Jinyi Wei knew the same, how did he do it?

Huang Zicheng felt panicked.

Does today's early dynasty mark the beginning of the annihilation of the party in the DPRK and China? What to do with Qingliu?

Everyone's eyes unconsciously looked outside the hall, everyone's thoughts in their hearts were different, but one thing was certain, Liu Sanwu said that the list of Spring Tributes to His Majesty today would determine the life and death of many people, including Xiao Fan's life and death.

While looking out of the hall, many people also focused their eyes on Xiao Fan, who was standing leisurely in the middle of the hall.

What did he just say...... It's true?

Did he really persuade Boss Liu Sanwu to change the list of tributes?

How is this possible? Liu Sanwu is a great Confucian in the world, his surname is the most strong and upright, and it has always been impossible to change the things he believes, what ability can Xiao Fan persuade him?

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help but set his eyes on Xiao Fan.

This young man has always brought him miracles, and this time, can he let the miracles continue? If Liu Sanwu insists on not changing the list, then do I really want to kill him? Wouldn't it be a pity to kill such a talent? If you use it well in the future, you will become an indispensable arm by Yun Wei's side, but if you don't kill him...... My words have been released, you have no jokes, if I break my word, how will I deal with the ministers in the future?

Zhu Yuanzhang fell into a tangle, after a lifetime of ups and downs, he couldn't help but mention his heart at this moment.

In contrast, Zhu Yunwen was even more restless, a layer of fine sweat had appeared on his handsome face, he never realized that the last early dynasty could be thrilling to this point, Xiao Shiyu, the difficulty of the Qingliu minister was resolved by you, can you still pass the next level? Will the Ding Chouke case bring you murder?

Turning his head sideways at Zhu Yuanzhang's expressionless face, Zhu Yunwen secretly clenched his fists, if it really comes to the worst step, I will fight to the death, even if I don't want to be the emperor's grandson, I will save Xiao Shiyu's surname!

When everyone had bad thoughts, Xiao Fan, who was in the middle of the Reading Power Hall, was also entangled.

Brother Cao shouldn't miss, right? In case he misses, what should I do with Huang Zicheng's bet? To cut, or not to cut? It's a serious problem...... I'm still a virgin!

At this moment, a rush of footsteps outside the hall came, mixed with the hissing phlegm in the throat of the old man when he was panting, from far and near.

Everyone's heart was lifted.

The answer is about to be revealed.

The sound suddenly stopped outside the temple gate, and the person who came seemed to be sorting out the meter outside the hall, taking a deep breath to soothe his emotions.

Then, a slightly rickety old figure appeared in the middle of the palace door, Liu Sanwu was wearing an official robe, with a decisive look on his face, stepping on a steady and resolute pace, slowly walked into the main hall, stopped twenty steps in front of the emperor, Liu Sanwu knelt down in a proper manner, bowed down and said: "Minister, Hanlin bachelor Liu Sanwu, long live my emperor, and please punish the minister for the crime of being late in the early dynasty......"

At this juncture, who cares about the trivial matter of his early arrival and late arrival?

Zhu Yuanzhang waved the sleeves of his robe and said: "Liu Aiqing is flat, Aiqing is old, it is not easy to go to the court, don't worry if you are a little late, I will forgive you for your innocence." ”

"The old minister bows to thank Your Majesty for your grace." Liu Sanwu bowed three times according to the salute, and then got up and entered the court.

Facing the strange gazes of Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers, Liu Sanwu stood calmly in the middle of the court, his eyes half-closed, motionless like an old monk.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xiao Fan in the Jingli Palace, and saw that his expression was as usual, without a trace of nervousness, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help muttering in his heart, this kid is so calm, could it be that he really persuaded Liu Sanwu to change the list? Otherwise, why wasn't he worried at all? Isn't he afraid that I will kill him?

Turning his head, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Sanwu, a pair of narrow eyes shot a sharp color, Liu Sanwu, if you don't know each other today, don't think about the relationship between the monarch and the minister for many years, compared to the heart of the northern scholar, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is too insignificant.

In the quiet and silent hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's implied murderous voice suddenly sounded.

"Liu Aiqing, have you reconsidered the Spring List? I'm going to see the list today. ”

The hearts of the ministers rose to Lao Gao with Zhu Yuanzhang's gloomy tone, and all kinds of complicated eyes turned to Liu Sanwu.

Liu Sanwu's face suddenly flushed with a hint of ruddy, he took a few deep breaths, as if he was forcibly suppressing his excited emotions, and then his expression gradually became resolute and tragic, he slowly glanced at the ministers in the hall, as if he was silently saying his final goodbye to the ministers.

Finally, he lifted the hem of his official robe, walked back to the middle of the golden hall, knelt down, took out a blue-covered book from his sleeve, raised his hands above the top, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, the list of tributes in the Spring Dynasty, the old minister has already considered and considered, this is the final result of the old minister, please Your Majesty to take a look." ”

The eunuch standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly ran down the emperor's pedestal in small steps, took the notebook in Liu Sanwu's hand, and respectfully handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Everyone's eyes are focused on the notebook in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and the people in the palace understand that this notebook is related to the net worth of hundreds of people, and even to the future power layout of the Ming Dynasty.

- What kind of book is this, this is simply the book of life and death in the hands of the king of Hades.

Zhu Yuanzhang also opened the book with a little excitement, and a long list of tributes written in willow style came into view.

After looking carefully for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but glance up at Xiao Fan with a little surprise, and then lowered his head to look at the list.

I don't know how long later, Zhu Yuanzhang closed the notebook, and then, his laughter suddenly came from the quiet hall.

"Hehe, haha, hahahaha-"

The sound of laughter lingered and echoed in the main hall, and the ministers were so frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden laughter that they took a step back, and looked at each other with earthy faces.

Your Majesty...... Couldn't he have laughed angrily? It seems that His Majesty was very angry with Liu Sanwu this time, and everyone seems to have seen the miserable state of Liu Sanwu and Xiao Fan's blood splashing in the court...... Liu Sanwu had already given up everything at this time, and without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's command, he stood up by himself, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a resolute face, and then shook the sleeves of his robe heavily, and said loudly: "The old minister thinks about it again, the imperial court of all dynasties and dynasties has taken the merits of the article, and this dynasty cannot be an exception, no matter whether His Majesty is full of dissatisfaction, this is the final candidate selected by the old minister, even if the old minister dies, he will never change it again!" Since ancient times, who has not died, leaving Dan's heart ......"

Before the two most eye-catching poems of the impassioned "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang" were finished, Zhu Yuanzhang had already interrupted him with laughter.

"Haha, satisfied, I'm so satisfied! Who says I'm not satisfied? Liu Aiqing's list of tributes is deeply in line with my intentions, rest assured, I won't let you change it again, haha, six in the south and four in the north, well, not bad, very good! Liu Aiqing has a heart, and the Ding Chouke case can be closed. ”

"Huh?" Liu Sanwu looked up in amazement, the resolute old face that was originally calmly going to death was changing at this time, flickering blue and white, and it was wonderful.

"Your Majesty, old minister...... The old minister ......" Liu Sanwu suddenly stammered, and his generosity was swept away.

"Liu Aiqing understands the righteousness and knows how to be flexible, I am deeply comforted, well, the proportion of the north and south tributes to the south and the north and the north is also in line with the national conditions of this dynasty, where is Zhang Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?"

Zhang Zhen shook his head, recovered from the shock, hurriedly walked to the middle of the Golden Palace, bowed down and said, "The minister is here." ”

"In the future, the imperial court will take scholars, you can follow the example of Liu Aiqing's imperial examination this year, and in the future, each subject will be subject to the south six and north four, this law can be included in the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", and the heirs of future generations shall not change it without authorization if there is no reason."

"Obey."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes to look at Liu Sanwu, who was stunned in the middle of the hall, and his eyes were full of joy. Finally, there is no need to force the list to change by means of murder, Liu Sanwu can turn this corner by himself, it is the best, and this result can be regarded as a great joy for the monarch and the ministers.

"Liu Aiqing is loyal to the country, loyalty is rare, I am very praised, and I will give Liu Sanwu three hundred taels of gold and five hundred horses ......of silk immediately."

Liu Sanwu's eyes were as big as a bell, until now he hadn't reacted to what had happened, according to common sense, His Majesty would be furious when he saw his list of tributes that had not changed a word, and then mercilessly ordered him to be beheaded and abandoned to the city, and the best result was to be sent to exile to the frontier, but now, ...... Your Majesty actually rewarded yourself? He didn't take the wrong medicine, did he?

Listening to His Majesty's tone, it seems that the list he handed in is very different from what he wrote, what is the South Six North Four, in the recital he wrote last night, when did the Beidi Juzi be included in the list of tributes? And 40% of them? It's impossible!

"Your Majesty, you ...... Is there a mistake? Can you show the old minister the transcript he just sent to the old minister? Liu Sanwu said cautiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xiao Fan again, his eyes were quite profound. Then he nodded lightly to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch hurriedly took the notebook and ran over to give it to Liu Sanwu.

Liu Sanwu opened it with trembling hands, and suddenly his old face turned pale.

There was a long silence.

Liu Sanwu suddenly hissed and shouted: "Your Majesty, this list is not ......"

"Mr. Liu! Don't be so loud on the Golden Palace, it's very rude, the imperial historians will also join you, they are very powerful, the lower officials almost caught their way just now......" Xiao Fan took advantage of the situation and quickly stepped forward, pretending to support Liu Sanwu, and pressed his shoulders to block Liu Sanwu's words.

Liu Sanwu glared at Xiao Fan angrily, his face became more and more ruddy with anger, and he said angrily: "You get out!" Your Majesty, this list is not an old minister......"

"Hey! Elder Liu, you are old, don't be so excited, it's easy to have a stroke......" Xiao Fan blocked Liu Sanwu's words again.

The eyes of the surrounding ministers looking at Liu Sanwu have changed, some are incredulous, some are disdainful, and some are relieved...... Liu Sanwu looked at the various expressions of the ministers, and then looked at the approving smile of Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace, and suddenly fell into despair in his heart. A Confucian scum who is afraid of power, has no backbone, and has no integrity? Now that the wood has become a boat, there is no argument, the age is nearly eighty, and the evening is not guaranteed!

Suddenly, a backlash rose, Liu Sanwu's figure stumbled a few times, and Xiao Fan hurriedly supported him.

A flash of spiritual light flashed, and Liu Sanwu suddenly remembered that before the early dynasty, the man who deliberately hit his sedan chair suddenly understood.

Liu Sanwu suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Fan's arm fiercely, his eyes were red and he roared: "You! It turned out to be you! ”

Xiao Fan blinked innocently: "What did Boss Liu say?" Xia Guan doesn't know much about yes......"

Liu Sanwu was extremely angry, the blood and qi in his chest flowed backwards, and he suddenly rolled his eyes in anger, and fainted in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

"Lord Liu, what's wrong with you, Lord Liu?" Xiao Fan fakely shook Liu Sanwu, who had fainted, and his feelings were sincere.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "What's wrong with Liu Aiqing?" ”

Xiao Fan replied anxiously: "Your Majesty, I think that Master Liu suddenly received praise and reward from His Majesty, and his heart was too excited for a while, so he fainted and passed......"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Xiao Fan's nonsense, and couldn't help but snort softly.

After the farce in the palace just now, Zhu Yuanzhang is not a fool, how can he not understand what happened?

That's it, things have come to this point, at least on the surface, the northern scholars have been explained, the people of the world have seen the results, the court ministers are harmonious, this is enough, the court wants decency, the emperor wants decency, as long as this decency can be maintained, other details ...... Well, it's better to pretend you didn't see it.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep look at Xiao Fan, who was in a sympathetic manner, and saw that he looked like he was crying and grabbing the ground, pinching people and shaking his shoulders on Liu Sanwu, behaving like a filial son and grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, this stinky boy, acting was too fake, but he just fainted, can you be guilty of crying and mourning?

Flicking his sleeves heavily, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Xiao Fan again, and said to the ministers: "Everything is over, retreat!" ”

The ministers bowed and shouted long live in different moods, and when Zhu Yuanzhang's figure turned to the back of the hall, they got up one after another.

Zhu Yunwen followed behind Zhu Yuanzhang, and while no one was paying attention, he made a grimace at Xiao Fan, and ran towards the Huagai Hall with a smile and a sigh of relief.

The Han general standing outside the hall hurriedly entered the hall and carried Liu Sanwu to the Tai Hospital outside the noon gate for treatment, Xiao Fan immediately stopped crying, and then stood up casually, and the ministers looked at his face curiously, okay, there was no tear at all, and he was acting just now.

Xiao Fan straightened his clothes, and an indifferent smile appeared on his face.

Today, two life-and-death difficulties have all been successfully passed!

Lao Zhu, I will forgive you this time, next time I am embarrassed, I have to pick up your dragon underwear again!

Huang Zicheng stood in front of Xiao Fan, looked at him deeply for a while, and then sighed, and left with a slight stagger.

Xiao Fan opened his mouth, and wanted to ask him to keep Lao **, this is the bet they just made, but seeing Lao Huang's appearance like a mourner, Xiao Fan thought about it or forget it, Lao Huang must be in a bad mood now, Xiao Fan is a kind and upright gentleman, so he won't take advantage of the fire to rob...... Looking at Huang Zicheng's down-and-out back, Xiao Fan smiled, Wenchen can govern the country, and he can also mislead the country, it is not a good thing that the dynasty is full of clear streams, the huge court, you have to need a few catfish to inspire everyone, right?

Well, it's decided, I'm a catfish from now on, a beautiful catfish...... Xiao Fan thought of this, and the smile on his face deepened.

What about the annihilators? The merits and demerits are left for future generations to comment, and what the world says after thousands of years is my business!

Xiao Fan stood in the middle of the Fengtian Palace, and suddenly smiled heartily, the young courtier was full of spirits, and his flying attitude was overflowing.

The ministers were exiting the hall one after another, and when they heard Xiao Fan's laughter, they all looked back at him.

Xiao Fan strode out of the Golden Palace, and where he passed, the ministers unconsciously made way for him, among them, Ru Yu, the secretary of the military department, Lang Qitai, the left attendant of the military department, Xie Jin, the bachelor of Hanlin and others, also showed a kind smile at him.

The weak-crowned young courtier, from now on, has laid a solid foundation in the court, and a generation of powerful ministers has gradually taken shape.

Back at home, Xiao Fan exhaled heartily. The anxiety and sorrow of these days have finally passed, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, is not good at serving, but fortunately, he can only live for one year, otherwise he will have to be played to death by him in this life.

Entering the moon gate in the inner courtyard, Xiao Thrush greeted him with a happy face.

These few troubles, Rao is so, Xiao Fan didn't let Xiao Thrush know, there are some things that should be borne by men alone, Xiao Thrush has experienced many years of displacement, and now he finally has a stable and happy home, Xiao Fan can't bear to let her worry about things anymore, besides, with Xiao Thrush's evil surname, if she feels cornered, she will sneak a knife into the palace, and then stab Zhu Yuanzhang a few times, a hundred, don't doubt it, Xiao Thrush is really likely to do such a crazy thing.

Xiao Thrush smiled and held Xiao Fan's arm, and then with a sour little face, he gestured a few times towards the wing room where Taixu lived.

Xiao Fan said: "What's wrong with Master?" ”

Xiao Thrush pursed his lips and whispered: "Xianggong went to take a look, the Taoist grandfather didn't know what kind of wealth he had made, and he was showing off everywhere......"

Xiao Fan smiled: "It's a good thing that Master has made a fortune, his is ours, let's go, let's gnaw old ......"

Xiao Thrush nodded happily.

The two tiptoed to the door of Taixu's wing, but saw Taixu sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a radiant face, the dirty and sloppy robe on his body had already been replaced by a silk robe embroidered with dark patterns of flowers, and on his usually oily and dirty fingers, he was wearing several jasper rings large and small, and his big hand was grabbing an oil-roasted chicken and gnawing on it, looking like a nouveau riche philistine.

Xiao Fan and Xiao Thrush stood outside the door and glanced at each other, and then the two of them pouted their lips at the same time with a tacit understanding, and their faces also showed a sour expression at the same time.

"What's the big deal, didn't you make a little money......" Xiao Fan muttered quietly.

"That's it!" Xiao Thrush nodded vigorously in agreement.

"He has money, we have money too......" Xiao Fan continued to hum sourly.

"That's it!" Xiao Thrush said angrily with the enemy: "...... There are still three thousand taels buried in the backyard, and we are richer than the Taoist grandfather. ”

"yes, so we don't have to be jealous of him."

"Hmm!"

After adjusting their mentality, Xiao Fan and Xiao Thrush appeared in front of Taixu with a smile on their faces.

"Yo, where has Master made his fortune lately?"

Taixu stroked his beard, with an unfathomable expression: "Poor Dao pinched his fingers yesterday and found that Poor Dao was going to take fortune recently, haha, it was really ......"

Xiao Fan cautiously whispered, "Master has been trading for no money recently?" ”

Taixu glared and said, "Nonsense! Poor Dao is a famous and decent disciple, how can he do such a small thing? ”

"Master, how did you get rich?"

He glanced at Xiao Fan too vainly, and snorted: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed......

Xiao Fan was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Master, you have made a fortune and spent money happily, and you envy the dead disciples......

Taixu pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "It cost ten taels to buy clothes, and it cost more than a hundred taels to buy rings......"

Xiao Fan and Thrush's eyes widened, and they exclaimed: "Master is really wealthy......"

Taixu said happily: "What is that, there are more than 2,000 taels of silver left, the poor Taoist donated all his brains to the Taoist temple outside the city, good guy, the host of the Taoist temple is so happy that he is like something, even the Taoist temple has changed its name, and it will be called 'Taixu Guan' in the future, haha, Amitayus Buddha ......"

Xiao Fan's eyes straightened: "With so much silver, you are really generous......"

Tai Xuan said happily: "That's it, anyway, the silver dug up from the backyard, a windfall from the sky, it's useless to keep the poor road, donate the Taoist temple, and cultivate a yin virtue......"

"Backyard?" Xiao Fan and the others were suddenly shocked and said in unison.

"Yes, hehe, I don't know which idiot came up with a bad idea, actually buried the silver in the backyard, in order to hide people's eyes, but also planted a particularly conspicuous cactus on it, Amitayus his grandmother's Buddha, poor Dao is particularly interested in things related to immortals, a large piece of peach tree planted under the cactus, this is not clear that there is no silver three thousand taels here? Haha, I really don't know which idiot came up with the idea, and he laughed to death...... Hey? Why did the thrush cry? Hey? The apprentice's eyes are also red? What's wrong with you guys? ”
