Loyalty and annihilation are opposites, and the antonym of loyalty is annihilation.

What does Annihilation represent?

Greed, cunning, abuse of power, profit-seeking, framing loyalty, and causing chaos to the government...... These are all derogatory terms.

It is certain that no one wants to be a minister, even if his essence is an out-and-out minister, he will not admit that he is a minister, on the contrary, the more he is a minister in history, the more he has to fight hard to flaunt that he is a loyal minister, whoever dares to say that he is not a loyal minister, he will kill whom, whether it is to deceive others, to deceive himself, in short, no one will take the initiative to deduct a "annihilation" hat for himself, that is too unparticular.

But Xiao Fan is an exception.

He doesn't mind others saying that he is a minister or a loyal minister, he has a vague concept of loyalty and annihilation, others praise him as a loyal minister, he will not be complacent, others point his nose and scold him for being a minister, he will not be too angry.

Loyalty and annihilation are just two words on other people's lips, what do they have to do with themselves? The world is so complicated, can all people simply sum it up with the word "loyalty"? Just like the good people and the bad people in this world, are there only these two types of people in the world?

For example, someone helps an old woman cross the street on the street, good person, right? Absolutely live Lei Feng, right? But if the old woman who was helped didn't plan to cross the street at all, and the good Samaritan had to kidnap the old woman like a kidnapper, can you say that he is a good person or a bad person?

In the eyes of people who don't know the truth, he is a good person, only the old grandmother is like a mirror in his heart, grandson, don't let me run into you next time, otherwise I have to call my son over and beat you to death. - Huang Zicheng is actually this kind of person, saying that he did bad things with good intentions, it is still a bit of a whitewash for him, at most he is given a comment of "a loyal minister who brings disaster to the country and the people", which is very appropriate.

For another example, there was another kind person who helped the grandmother cross the road, and it happened that the old woman really planned to cross the road, so the good Samaritan warmly and generously helped the old man respectfully, and said goodbye to the grandmother politely before leaving.

That's the good guy, right? But if this kind-hearted man said goodbye to his grandmother, turned a corner and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the side of the road, yellow and sticky, the kind that makes people sick for half a year, can you say that he is a good person or a bad person?

Xiao Fan probably belongs to this category. The big section loyalty is basically fine, but the small section is disgusting, more outrageous than the bad guys. This type of people...... It's very difficult to define him, and even Xiao Fan himself can't evaluate himself. To put it nicely, this is called a controversial surname, and only people who are awesome have this kind of treatment.

However, Xiao Fan doesn't mind the title of annihilation or loyal minister, which doesn't mean that the other ministers present don't mind.

The ministers have been in the cold for ten years, worked hard to gain fame, entered the court, and finally climbed to such a high position, who doesn't cherish feathers? Who wants to put a hat-killer on their head? You can't take the word "annihilation" as a humble title, right?

Just when everyone's expressions were complicated and they wanted to refute it, the scholar Xie Jinjie, who was sitting on the left side of Yu Xin in the banquet, cowered and raised his hand.

Xiao Fan was a very easy-going person, so he hurriedly said, "Bachelor Xie has something to say?" Even if you say it, all of you here are respected pillars of the court, and I have always advocated convincing people with virtue......"

Xie Jin secretly rolled his eyes,—— If you can't convince people with virtue, you will beat people, right?"

"I ...... I'm not a ...... annihilator," Xie Jin said weakly.

The ministers in the audience nodded in agreement.

"That's it, we are obviously like-minded loyal ministers, how come we have become a minister in your mouth Lord Xiao?"

"Yes, we are the Auxiliary Lord, Kuang Sheji, who is loyal to His Majesty and the court, where is the annihilation? Obviously a loyal minister who couldn't be more loyal......"

“…………”

Xiao Fan sighed, sure enough, the annihilation will never admit that he is the annihilation, and the ideology cannot be unified, it seems that it is difficult for this annihilation party to form a group.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I said that we are annihilators, this was not originally said by me, it was said by Huang Zicheng, the official of Chunfang......" Xiao Fan threw the black cauldron on Huang Zicheng's head without thinking.

The ministers of the flower hall found common ground at this time, and suddenly became angry and hated the same enemy.

"Phew! Huang Zicheng's old thing, a sanctimonious pedantic man, flaunts how loyal he is all day long, but in fact, he is a mouthful! In terms of His Majesty's loyalty to the court, is he better than us? Silent dedication, silent talent is the most reliable! ”

"Yes, yes, that's right! Huang Zicheng, this old thing, is not the ......"

Xiao Fan took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Who said it wasn't? But Lord Huang insisted that we were annihilators, causing chaos to the court, and that there were demons rampant in the court, didn't he clearly scold us for being demons? It's infuriating! ”

When the ministers heard this, they were furious.

"He's the wicked! His whole family is wicked! ”

"That's it! Man Chaotang is a human being, we are all demons, is there still His Majesty in his eyes? Is there still a court? ”

"Even if we are demons, then we are good demons loyal to Your Majesty, even if he Huang Zicheng is a human being, he is also a bad person!"

Xiao Fan nodded vigorously and said in deep agreement: "Well said! Therefore, being a demon is like being a human being, you must have a benevolent and loyal heart, and with a benevolent and loyal heart, we will no longer be demon ......"

The ministers asked, "What's that?" ”

Xiao Fan said calmly and powerfully: "...... It's a shemale! ”

Everyone: "............"

…………………… The emotions of the annihilators can be regarded as mobilized, although Xiao Fan knows that a few words of provocation will not have a big effect, but this is the first annihilation meeting, and it can achieve unanimity in caliber, Xiao Fan is already very satisfied with this result.

Whether it is the business world or officialdom, if you really want to ally with others and reach the level of watching and helping each other, advancing and retreating together, it is useless to rely on lip service to win over and provoke, and there is only one thing that is most eternal in this world, that is, interests.

Only the interests pursued by the common can bind people tightly together, and they cannot be separated.

Xiao Fan knows in his heart that if he wants to establish his own party and forces in the court, only by giving them benefits, will they really be of one heart and one mind with him, advance and retreat together, and the relationship maintained by friendship in this world is either very iron porcelain, and he does not frown on the sword mountain and the sea of fire, just like the relationship between Xiao Fan and Cao Yi, or it is very fragile, fragile and vulnerable, just like the relationship between Xiao Fan and the gang in front of him.

Therefore, only by tying them up with interests can they have to be tied to the same boat as themselves, and no one will want to pick them up.

What benefits do these ministers need?

To do this step as an official, of course, gold, silver and jewelry are not in their eyes, what they need is an official.

In front of the petty officials who want to be promoted to the big officials, in front of the needs of the big officials to add titles, people's ** is always endless, as long as the interests they need are satisfied, above the court, any voice made by Xiao Fan will be regarded by them as a golden rule, desperate for support, even if they fight with Huang Zicheng's gang of Qingliu scratching their faces and scratching their hair, they will rush forward without hesitation.

Why did Xiao Fan do this? Why build your own power?

It's very simple, he doesn't want to see that after Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne in the future, the right to speak in the court will be controlled by Huang Zicheng's gang of Qingliu ministers who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and he doesn't want Zhu Yunwen to lose the country under the scourge of these talented ministers.

If there is no arrival of Xiao Fan, history will still follow the original trajectory, the dragon chair that should sit on the dragon chair, and the usurped will be usurped. But now, Xiao Fan is here, he will never allow history to go down the old road again, he wants to pinch God's neck, force the wheel of history to turn around, and go in the direction that Xiao Fan wants.

The traverser is so arrogant, what ideals and ambitions or the like, that's all! It's very simple, if he doesn't change history, why did he come here? Think about his previous life, he was lying on the side of the road, drinking wine with a knife, drunk to death inexplicably, and then came here, more than being robbed by a fat sheep, what did he do with this trip? It's not to change history, it's okay to leave a name in history ,—— to leave a name.

After scolding Qingliu, everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Fan again, they knew that Xiao Fan called them, of course, not to make them addicted, there must be something real to say.

Xiao Fan let out a long sigh, and said in a low voice: "All adults must know that if today's dragon body is becoming more and more improper, to say something disrespectful, I'm afraid there will not be much, His Royal Highness the Emperor is the prince appointed by the Son of Heaven, if His Royal Highness the Prince ascends the throne in the future, do you know if Huang Zicheng will make waves in it?" Don't forget, in his heart Lord Huang, we are all the ministers of the troubled dynasty, a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh, and His Royal Highness Taisun has always obeyed Huang Zicheng's words, if Huang Zicheng slanders in front of the new emperor in the future, our future may be worrying......"

The ministers were shocked, Xiao Fan's words gave them a wake-up call, everyone only cared about thinking about how to be promoted, but they didn't expect that if they were sick today, they would not be much, and they would not be far from the return of the Dragon Emperor.

Xiao Fan looked at everyone's expressions and continued: "...... So, in order to prevent Huang Zicheng's old thing from succeeding, we have to take precautions! ”

Among the people, Ru Yu is the most worried about being cleaned, because he has been purged once, and almost died in Jinyiwei Prison.

"Lord Xiao, dare to ask how to prepare for a rainy day? Do adults have a plan? Ru Yu asked cautiously.

Xiao Fan smiled and said: "It's very simple, just get Huang Zicheng down, such a pedantic person controls the government, can our Ming society be peaceful?" Do the people still have a good time? ”

"How do you get him down?"

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "This requires the unity of all of us, unite as one, are you afraid that you won't be able to bring down a Huang Zicheng?" Ladies and gentlemen, now most of the power in the DPRK is in the hands of Qingliu, Qingliu is in power, it is not a good thing for the country, a group of nerds only know how to read according to the script, and they will only say what to say when dealing with the government, such a person is in power, and the Jiangshan Sheji will soon be shaken, so we can't let them take the position, people who think they are loyal and righteous, but in fact they are misleading the country and the king, if they overthrow the Qingliu, there will be a large number of power vacancies in the DPRK and the middle......"

Xiao Fan was silent at the right time, but he smiled deeply, but everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it, and their faces showed greed, and many people secretly swallowed their saliva.

Xiao Fan saw it in his eyes, and his heart was amused, he knew that after saying so much nonsense, only the last sentence did these ministers really listen.

Power, it's a good thing!

Xiao Fan turned a blind eye to everyone's reactions, cleared his throat, and continued: "...... So, we must be united! Only by uniting, advancing and retreating together, the clear streams in the court can not help us, you think about it, the new emperors of the past dynasties ascended the throne, the court will fall into chaos, the distribution and competition of power, the reward and purge of hundreds of officials, it will be a bloody war! If we are not united, will there be no opportunity for the clear streams? You don't want to end up in exile for thousands of miles, or even end up with your head on the ground, do you? If you think about it again, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Industry, as well as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Taifu Temple, as well as the General Political Envoys, the local prefects and counties, etc., so many powers are waiting for you to be enriched, at this moment, shouldn't we prepare early? ”

When everyone heard this, their faces gradually turned red, and even their breathing became short.

Xiao Fan continued to provoke slowly: "...... Therefore, you adults should fight for it with confidence, and fight against those so-called clear streams to the end! Don't pay attention to them scolding us for annihilating ministers and destroying the party, let's all puff up our chests! What kind of bullshit annihilation, mixed in the court, who is cleaner than whom? ”

The crowd was full of emotion, and they all stood up, and shouted in unison with red faces: "What Lord Xiao said is exact!" We are not annihilators at all, they are annihilators! ”

As soon as the words fell, outside the flower hall, Steward Zhang bowed down and said, "Master, His Royal Highness the Taisun has come down......

The surging Annihilator just now blew up the pot, and there was a sudden chaos in the flower hall, and with a bang, everyone was shocked, like a group of shells who had just finished a party in the toilet, holding their heads and looking around to find a place to hide, and in the hustle and bustle, they only heard someone shouting and someone screaming, and someone hitting the wall.

"Ahh Hide quickly, let His Royal Highness the Taisun see it, there is no future in the future......"

"Let's sort of form a party in private, right? Fast! Drill under the table ......"

"Where's the shoes? I stepped on my shoes, who saw it? ”

"Oops! It's full under the table, so let's hide somewhere else......"

"Who put the smelly foot in my mouth? Get out of the way! It's humiliating......"

“…………”

When the wolf rushed to the pig, Xiao Fan was as steady as Mount Tai, his expression was sad, and he wanted to cry without tears.

These guys, who are still annihilating the party, are simply a group of rabble...... When Xiao Fan was disappointed, he sat opposite him, looking like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai despite the wind and waves.

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't see that this little victim could be so calm at this critical moment, could it be that this person's usual cowardice was pretended? In fact, he is a person with ideals and ambitions, and he usually hides himself very deeply, but when the time comes, he shows his edge, and the birds turn into phoenixes...... "Why don't you hide?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.

Xie Jin looked at Xiao Fan helplessly, his lips twitched a few times, and he said with a crying voice: "...... Do you think I don't want to hide? You have nowhere to hide here, they have all the good spots......"

A turbid breath suddenly rose in Xiao Fan's chest...... Holding the small wine glass in his hand, Xiao Fan pointed to the inside of the glass, and said neatly: "...... Why don't you go here? ”

"It's too small to get into the ......," Xie Jin cried with a sad face.

"You're so small, you must be able to get in."

Xie Jin's eyes were red, and he raised his arms to the sky and exclaimed sadly: "Son! Take me away—"

………… Raising his eyes to look at Steward Zhang, Xiao Fan asked, "What about His Royal Highness?" ”

Steward Zhang turned a blind eye to the ugliness of the ministers in the room, and said very calmly: "The old man didn't finish talking just now, His Royal Highness Taisun heard the old man say that you were feasting in the flower hall, His Royal Highness said that he would not bother, and he would come again, so His Royal Highness Taisun didn't enter the door, and left ...... by himself."

The ministers immediately came out from under the table, from the pile of flower pots, behind the bookcase, and from any of the incredible horns, all with embarrassed expressions and eyebrows...... "Actually...... We don't need to hide at all, let's get together for a drink and chat, and we haven't violated the king's law. "The secretary of the military department, Ru Yu, stroked his beard and put the horse behind the cannon.

The ministers hurriedly echoed: "That's it." ”

"We are loyal ministers, and the loyal ministers got together to discuss how to be more loyal to Your Majesty and the court, not only did they not violate the king's law, but they should be encouraged, so we don't have to hide at all, you see, I didn't hide ......" Xie Jin also followed with an afterthought.

Everyone looked at them with contempt: "............"

“…… Lord Xiao, your housekeeper is too unkind, do you want to change? I'll introduce you to a ...... who doesn't stutter without stammering."

Steward Zhang glared angrily.

Xiao Fan smiled dryly: "............"

After sending off the ministers, Xiao Fan sat alone in the flower hall and fell into distress.

Originally, he was very satisfied with today's development of events, but the later farce made him swallow a fly alive and was disgusting, Annihilation will always be Annihilation, and he will never be as upright as Huang Zicheng, just like being a thief who can't hear the siren is the same. Everyone is missing something very precious,—— righteousness.

Mixing with these guys, Xiao Fan felt a little sad, and at the same time had a more urgent sense of crisis, this group of guys was too unreliable, if they wanted to stand tall in the court, they had to rely on themselves. Trying to improve his personal strength is the most important thing, and those guys will help him coax the seedlings at most, and if the wind is not in the right direction, they will definitely slip faster than the rabbits.

In a world of moral decay, how can a righteous gentleman like him live?

I don't want to think about it, the more I think about it, the more desperate I become, and I go to learn martial arts from my master...... Thinking left and right, thinking carefully, in fact, the master is not very reliable,—— there is simply no reliable person in this world.

It's better to ask for others than for yourself, make a slingshot by yourself, and save your life in the future.
