Chapter 177: The Sea of Love

Kick a historically famous loyal minister out of the court...... No matter how you look at it, this thing doesn't look like a good person doing it, from the inside out, there is a smell of wolf heart and dog lungs, and ten thousand people scold.

If Zhu Yunwen failed to defend the country in the end, presumably Zhu Di would be happy to cast a kneeling statue in the image of Xiao Fan, and a small sign stood in front of the kneeling statue, detailing the life profile of Comrade Xiao Fan, a great annihilator under the Emperor of Duyong, including what evil and bad things he had done, knocking on the widow's door, digging up the grave of the dead, etc., what was difficult to write, and then the kneeling statue was publicly displayed, inciting the masses who did not know the truth to spit...... In history, there was a senior master in the realm of annihilation surnamed Qin, who was fortunate to enjoy such treatment.

Xiao Fan felt very entangled, in the history books of later generations, he, the fourth commander of the Jinyi Guard and the guest of honor of the two county lords, if he really played some intrigues and tricks to squeeze Huang Zicheng away, what kind of reputation would he Xiao Fan leave in the future?

"To rush or not to rush?" Xiao Fan raised his eyes to look at Cao Yi uncertainly.

Cao Yi grinned and said: "If you want me to say, who does he care, he offended Lao Tzu and cut him with a knife!" Take a knife and wipe it on his neck, what bullshit loyal ministers and ministers, and in the end they all become dead, and the world is peaceful! ”

"But...... A hundred years later, what will I do if my descendants stand on my grave and scold me? You jumped out of the coffin and killed them? ”

Cao Yi laughed and said: "At that time, you and I have become a pile of white bones, what about scolding us!" We have long been reincarnated, can they gnaw our birds? ”

Xiao Fan glanced at him and said, "Brother Cao, I found that you are a typical person who does not distinguish between good and evil, and there are only the living and the dead in your eyes, and there is no good or bad ......."

Cao Yi said with a straight face: "Luo Li has been wordy for a long time, do you want to get the old guy surnamed Huang down?" ”

Xiao Fan nodded quickly: "Of course!" ”

Cao Yi squinted slightly, with a bit of banter in his eyes: "Don't you worry that future generations will scold you for being a minister?" ”

Xiao Fan smiled and smiled with emotion: "...... A hundred years later, future generations will have their own justice, loyalty and annihilation, good and evil, and it will be clear after several generations. ”

Cao Yi sighed: "Yes, if you live for that little bit of fame behind you, you are too tired to be a man......"

Xiao Fan looked at him and sighed, "Actually...... We are all good people, but unfortunately only we know this fact in this world. ”

Cao Yi was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "The more you talk, the more sad it becomes, five-foot man, eat and drink, sleep when you are full, why do you think about so many bird things?" …… Say, how are you going to get that old guy Huang Zicheng down? ”

Xiao Fan's eyes rolled, and his handsome face revealed a long-lost evil smile.

"Don't talk about it in a loud voice, but whisper, come, come with your ears......"

Xiao Fan leaned into Cao Yi's ear, so, so...... After he finished speaking, Cao Yi opened his mouth wide and looked at Xiao Fan incredulously.

"Brother Xiao, you ...... this method"

"How? Enough to get him down, right? Xiao Fanjun's face was a little colorful.

Cao Yi looked at him deeply, and suddenly said, "You just said that you are a good person?" ”

"That's right."

Cao Yi said slowly: "Can you touch your conscience and say again that you are a good person?" I love to see you shameless. ”

“…………”

Xiao Fan, who had endured for a long time, finally decided to take the initiative.

In the following days, such a rumor quietly circulated in the Jingshi Chaotang market.

The Son of Heaven ascended the throne, the emperor was in power, he once lost his words after drinking in the house, saying that he wanted to follow Cao Ying at the end of the Han Dynasty, Cai Jing of the Song Dynasty, taking advantage of the young and weak Son of Heaven, with the respect of the emperor, monopolizing the court and controlling the government, the Son of Heaven who could not say or do anything was reprimanded by the emperor, the Son of Heaven was the co-master, but it was as small as lying down and walking, and as big as the national government and people's livelihood, they were not autonomous, and all internal and external affairs in the court were decided by the emperor, and the surname Zhu was almost the surname Huang in the world!

This rumor is very fatal, especially the last sentence, which is even more fatal.

Rumors have no head and no brains, it is said that this is a very ordinary trick, very untechnical, but since ancient times, three people have become tigers, and everyone has made money, and a lie is said by one or two people, which is naturally a lie, but if it is told by tens of millions of people, the lie will become the truth. - A terrible truth.

Since ancient times, which emperor could have allowed his own country to become another family? Regardless of whether this is a rumor or not, I am afraid that the emperor will be wary in his heart.

The rumors started from the folk market, and slowly spread to the golden hall of the court within a few days, and the ministers of the court were in an uproar, and Huang Zicheng's face changed greatly when he heard it, as if he had been slapped heavily, and he was panicked on top of the golden palace, and took the initiative to mention the matter in front of Zhu Yunwen and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and then knelt down and swore to the sky, saying that he would never dare to have the slightest authority, and this heart can be learned! Showing that his heart was not enough, Huang Zicheng was in tears, kowtowed again and again on the Golden Palace, and said that in order to avoid the dislike of unauthorized power, he was willing to resign and tell the old man without asking about any political affairs.

Zhu Yunwen naturally heard this rumor through Jin Yiwei a long time ago, and he was speechless for a long time after hearing it, and he didn't say a word for a long time, but his face became a little gloomy.

Faced with Huang Zicheng tearful kowtowing on the Golden Palace to show his loyalty, Zhu Yunwen's heart was unbearable, so he said a few words of relief, and resolutely refused to allow his resignation...... Huang Zicheng was grateful, but his attitude was extremely resolute and asked to resign and tell the old man, in order to avoid the suspicion of the ministers, Zhu Yunwen did not allow it, and the two played a loving and righteous Tai Chi push hand in front of the civil and military officials, and the civil and military officials were moved, and they all praised the monarch and the saints and the sages, and the image of the prosperous and enlightened people was also ...... In the end, Huang Zicheng really couldn't resist Zhu Yunwen's intention to stay, and he stayed after half pushing and half pushing.

But Huang Zicheng immediately stood up and took the initiative to ask for help, hoping to share the worries of the king, leave the capital and go north, appease the vassal king, and convey the goodwill of the Son of Heaven to the vassal king.

Zhu Yunwen borrowed the donkey from the slope, and after a few polite sentences, he agreed to come down and ordered Huang Zicheng to be the imperial court, patrol the northern border on behalf of the Son of Heaven, comfort the border army, reward the vassal king, and leave Beijing after three days.

Huang Zicheng kowtowed to thank him with old tears, and retreated to the court, knowing that people's words were terrible, and he no longer dared to speak indiscriminately about the affairs of the government and state.

Zhu Yunwen sat on the dragon chair, watched Huang Zicheng retreat with a smile, thinking of the recent words, Huang Zicheng had many disrespects in front of him, but Zhu Yunwen's heart was gradually clouded with a lingering shadow.

——Mr. Huang...... Do you really want to follow Cao Ying? So what is yourself? Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?

An invisible ravine was quietly created in the heart of this young emperor, and it cracked bigger and bigger...... In the meritorious class, Xiao Fan stood expressionlessly in the middle of the princes and uncles of various countries, but an excited light crossed his eyes, like a pebble thrown into the calm and waveless lake, causing ripples in circles.

When retreating from the dynasty, Zhu Yunwen turned the screen behind the dragon chair with an expressionless face and walked towards the Huagai Hall amid the shouts of the ministers in the mountains.

Xiao Fan walked out of the palace, exchanged a few words with the princes and ministers with a smile, and also got into the carriage and went home.

As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lowered, Xiao Fan couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face.

Today, a seed of doubt has been planted in Zhu Yunwen's heart, and when this seed gradually takes root and sprouts, only the last step is missing, Huang Zicheng can be successfully driven out of the court, if Huang Zicheng can come back alive from Beiping, what awaits him must be a place to dismiss or demote, the court of the Beijing Division, there is no place for him to stand, and the Qingliu ministers who are missing the leader must be a plate of scattered sand, so there is nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan clenched his fists excitedly, there was still one step away, just one more fire at the end, Huang Zicheng, a loyal minister who had scourged the Jianwen court, could say goodbye to the Jingshi court completely, and Xiao Fan was no longer restrained, and the ideals and ambitions he had been thinking about for a long time could also be realized one by one.

History will not repeat itself, Zhu Yunwen will not flee for half his life, and the Jianwen court will not be a short-lived court...... Everything is about to change.

- What should you name this operation to get rid of Huang Zicheng?

Let's fight against pornography.

It was nearly noon when he got home, and as soon as Xiao Fan stepped into the front yard, Steward Zhang stepped forward and diligently helped Xiao Fan dust and wipe the dust, looking extremely respectful.

"Master, today the prince of Yan Wang came to visit you, but you went to the court, and the prince was invited into the inner hall by his wife, ouch! As soon as the brother and sister met, they hugged their heads and cried, and the old man was sad to see on the side......"

Xiao Fan paused, and then sighed: "It's really hurt her in the past few years...... Is the prince still in the house? ”

"When the prince saw that the master was not there, he left some gifts and left, and the gifts were placed in the front hall, and he didn't have time to collect them in the warehouse......"

Xiao Fan frowned and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan's family is very polite...... But I am a clean official with clean sleeves, how can I accept bribes? ”

He waved his hand with a painful expression: "...... Butler, return the gift to someone. ”

Steward Zhang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, the old man will send someone back." ”

After speaking, Steward Zhang turned his head and left.

Xiao Fan was anxious: "Hey! Wait! Are you really going back? ”

Steward Zhang turned around and said blankly: "Master, you said you wanted to return it yourself......

Xiao Fan stomped his feet and said, "Didn't I just say that, are you still serious?" Remain! All stay! …… The commander's family has no food left. ”

Steward Zhang: "............"

As he spoke, Xiao Fan and Steward Zhang had already walked into the front hall, and saw that the front hall was full of boxes, and before anyone arrived, a strong copper smell came to the face, it seems that Zhu Gaochi has made a lot of money this time, and the gifts he gave are worth a lot of money.

Xiao Fan grinned happily, a little excited in his heart, money, who would be afraid of money? Naturally, the more the better, when you are a minister, you have to have the appearance of a minister, corruption is inevitably inferior, but the money sent by others to the door, do not accept nothing, do not accept bribes, and the minister who does not accept bribes is not a good minister.

Xiao Fan looked at the large and small boxes, his heart blossomed, his eyes glanced at it, but saw a scroll of paintings resting on the box, Xiao Fan frowned and said, "What are these things?" ”

Steward Zhang hurriedly took out the gift list and checked it carefully, and said: "This is Xu Xi's "Xuantang Wealth Map" in the Southern Tang Dynasty, master, this is a genuine work, it is worth a lot of silver......

At this time, Xiao Fan only had the pile of boxes full of gold and silver in his eyes, and he was not a scribe who knew how to be elegant, so he naturally didn't look at the authentic scroll, he thought about it when he heard the words, and said indifferently: "You go to the south of the city and give this painting to the shopkeeper Chen of Taifeng Rice Bank, just say that I spent a lot of money to buy it and specially give it to her, remember not to say that I gave it away, the favor should be recorded on my head, you know?" ”

Steward Zhang was busy and nodded in agreement.

“…… By the way, let her settle the silver for the first half of the year, and half of the ministers in the Asari are waiting for the dividends. ”

Seongnam Taifeng rice line.

Chen Yinger was dressed in a plain dress, her jet-black hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, and under the fluttering skirt, a pair of snow-white and pink jade feet were bare on the carpeted ground, and her graceful posture was a bit lazy and mature like a cat.

At this moment, she was sitting in front of the bronze mirror in the room, looking at the emaciated hazy shadow in the mirror stupidly, and two lines of tears quietly slipped down her face.

It's another year of spring, and the gorgeous fragrance has disappeared for another year before you know it.

Women, how many springs and autumns can be squandered? This year, she has been in her teens for a full decade.

That ruthless man, now he is a high-ranking courtier, he looks down on all beings like a god, turning his hands into clouds at the top of the clouds, covering his hands into rain, and his authority is profound, he ...... Have you ever thought that a hard-working woman is waiting for him all night with a smile and a look?

Xiao Fan, are you really so ruthless that you don't even bother to look at me?

In a year's time, the Chen family firm has been the richest and most powerful business in the Ming Dynasty, under the secret escort of Jinyiwei and Chen Yinger's own continuous efforts, the Chen family firm is now branched all over the north and south, and its center of gravity has gradually shifted to the north, all kinds of light and dark business such as rice shop, car and horse shop, silk village, green building, gambling hall, etc., like a snowball, capital and power are getting bigger and bigger, with the golden sign of Jinyiwei as a backer, the business has developed smoothly, regardless of officialdom or rivers and lakes, people who dare to trouble the Chen family, has been unconsciously cleaned up by Jinyiwei reasonably and legally.

I have to admit that in addition to being an official, Xiao Fan also has a good business mind. When the Chen family's business became stronger and stronger, Xiao Fan divided the shares in the business into more than 20 shares in a timely manner, except for her and Xiao Fan herself, the rest were given to some important ministers in the court who had great power, those Shangshu, the squires took the shares of the Chen family, and their own interests were also tightly tied to Xiao Fan and the Chen family.

But...... None of this is what Chen Ying'er wants.

What she wants is very simple, just to be able to occupy a place in Xiao Fan's heart, and it is enough to stand up.

This wish has not been realized for a year.

Xiao Fan was very busy, he was so busy that he couldn't take care of her at all, and even she cheekily went to the yamen to find him, but she often rushed into the air, or hurriedly said a few words when she saw someone and sent her away.

Chen Ying'er was full of resentment, facing the bronze mirror, the person in the mirror was lonely, and there was nowhere to talk about desolation.

Why are others living happily ever after, but I, Chen Yinger, are destined to be lonely and miserable all my life, floating like duckweed?

Xiao Fan, I want to put on a wedding dress for you when my life is the most beautiful, why do you keep refusing to look back at me? A woman's splendor is like an epiphany, and when I am old, when you are willing to marry, how can I marry you?

The shadow in the bronze mirror swayed slightly, the thin shoulders shook slightly, Chen Yinger's pretty face had become a river, trickling down, like a pear flower with rain, and she never regained the appearance of a strong man, which was extremely pitiful at the moment.

She stared at the mirror for a long time, Ying Ying stood up, her slender fingers were lightly hooked, the belt of her clothes suddenly loosened, and the snow-white silk clothes quietly slid down her shoulders, revealing her proud breasts.

This is a delicate body full of mature style, clean and pure as a snow lotus, and has not been tarnished in the slightest.

Chen Yinger looked at herself in the mirror with tears, and the resentment in her eyes was like a dark pool, bottomless.

Twenty year old virgin ...... Chen Ying'er laughed self-deprecatingly.

The breeze blew quietly through the cracks in the mahogany window lattices, blowing up a snow note on the dressing table, on which was a piece of "A Cut of Plums" written by Chen Yinger last night.

"The lonely shadow Qionglou locked Qingjiang, tears into the bowels, and it was difficult to solve the sorrows.

The cuckoo branch remembers Tanlang, love is also sad, and hate is also sad.

I still regret thinking about it too much in the old years, and I want to enter the West Chamber, but I am afraid of entering the West Chamber.

Looking at the broken Qin Huai, he said that he was long, drank a thousand wines, and drank a thousand yuan. ”

The wind blew, and it was silent. The snow notes are stained with tears, soaked in paper, blurred ink, lovesick sentences mixed with tears, and resentment, all contained in small words.

Downstairs, the sound of footsteps came from far and near.

Chen Ying'er was startled, and hurriedly put on a plain skirt and tied a belt.

The bead curtain jingled, and the close-fitting maid held the piano and combed her double bun, holding a scroll of painting in her hand, and jumped in.

"Miss, Uncle...... Ah, no, the commander of the Jinyi Guard sent Lord Xiao to send a housekeeper to send a scroll of paintings......"

Chen Ying'er's beautiful eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stood up and came quickly.

He ...... He sent me a painting? What kind of painting? Fast! Show me! This ruthless guy ......" Chen Ying'er wiped her tears, happy and angry.

Huqin grinned, and his little face was full of joy, like a fresh and dazzling morning sun, dispelling the gloom of the entire boudoir.

With joy, the two of them opened the ribbon on the scroll with trembling slender hands, and a colorful painting with an old atmosphere slowly unfolded.

On the dark yellow painting paper, more than a dozen snow-white rich peonies bloom proudly, extremely graceful.

Baoqin glanced up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "Miss, what a beautiful flower!" The old man who was the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion said that this was bought by Lord Xiao for a thousand dollars and specially given to Miss, Miss, Lord Xiao...... I always keep you in my heart. ”

Chen Ying'er also smiled prettyly, carefully admiring the peony in the painting, looking at it, the smile on Chen Ying'er's pretty face gradually solidified, her beautiful eyes blinked a few times, and strings of tears slipped down her face again, and her expression was no longer resentful, but sad and desperate.

Baoqin was frightened by her reaction, and said urgently: "Miss! Miss! What happened to you? Lord Xiao sent you a painting, you should be happy, why are you crying? Is there something wrong? ”

Chen Ying'er's delicate body trembled slightly, her fingers trembled, pointing to the painting, and said in a trembling voice: "Hug the qin, look...... You take a closer look at this painting......"

"What's wrong with this painting?"

Chen Ying'er closed her eyes in despair and said sadly: "...... In this painting, there are no butterflies in the painting, and there is no fragrance in the flowers, Xiao Fan gave me this painting, which is really a metaphor for my Chen Yinger's life, lonely and old...... Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan! You...... What a ruthless heart! ”

"Ahh

In the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Fan, who was sitting under the peach tree in the inner courtyard to enjoy the shade, suddenly sneezed loudly.

Xiao Fan looked up at the sky, then rubbed his nose, scratched his head inexplicably and said, "Who scolded me?" I obviously gave a big gift today, which is worth a lot of silver, and if I do a good deed, others should praise me for being ......."
