Gluttony is not right, and everyone understands this truth at the age of five. Because gluttony often causes some not very good consequences, maybe eating the wrong thing, maybe attracting the blame of parents.

Xiao Fan really didn't expect that Taixu, who was more than a hundred years old, didn't understand this truth, and it seemed that his IQ showed signs of atavism.

Now that Taixu's face has turned green, the two little eyes are wide open in horror, and drops of cold sweat are running down his forehead.

Xiao Fan and Cao Yi looked at him sympathetically, silent.

Zhang Sanfeng pursed his lips in disgust, stood up and said leisurely: "Poor Dao really can't stand it......"

After saying that, he glared at Taixu fiercely, that gaze was like looking at a piece of, and then turned around and quickly walked out of the dining room.

The remaining three remained silent...... "Master...... Don't put up with it......" Xiao Fan said sympathetically.

"Yes......" Cao Yi echoed in a deep tone.

Tai Xu's face was green, his cheeks were puffed, he glanced at the two of them resentfully, and then quickly got up and rushed out of the dining room...... Xiao Fan and Cao Yi listened to the sound of Taixu vomiting, and their faces twitched a few times at the same time.

"It's unfortunate to eat like this for a meal...... Xiao Fan sighed in the sky.

Cao Yi's face distorted: "...... Actually, I wanted to throw up, too. ”

"Go ahead, you two get together and vomit happily......"

…………………… After a long time, Taixu, who had vomited faintly, finally returned.

Cao Yi rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "Old immortal, I'm really sorry, the younger generation didn't expect that the old immortal not only eats fireworks in the world, but also has such a heavy taste......

These words evoked too empty and disgusting memories, and the pale old face turned green again...... Stretching out his trembling hand, Taixu pointed at Cao Yi, and said a series of vague monophonic words in a sad and indignant tone.

Cao Yi was stunned and said, "What is the old immortal talking about?" ”

Xiao Fan said calmly: "Master is swearing, and the specific content is imagined by yourself." ”

The next day, the secret agent of Jinyi Wei sent news that after the early dynasty, Huangguan sent his family members to contact the ministers of Qingliu in the middle of the court, and the officials of the imperial history of various departments and provinces, and summoned some ministers to gather in the palace.

Huang Guan denounced Xiao Fan at the party for causing trouble in the country and shaking the foundation of "governing the country with literature", and said that if the Son of Heaven really agreed to Xiao Fan's reform of the military system, it would inevitably lead to the status of the vulgar military generals in the court, and the military system reform to the end, the authority granted to the military generals was too large, and finally the martial artists controlled the government and bullied the Son of Heaven, and there were consequences like "yellow robes and bodies" such as usurping the throne, and the Ming Dynasty surnamed Zhu Jiangshan fell into a dangerous situation because of Xiao Fan's reform ideas.

Huang Guan made a generous statement in front of the ministers, passionate and heroic, and described Xiao Fan as a person with bad intentions and a vain attempt to overthrow the Son of Heaven, and after the reform of the military system, the rise of the martial artists in the DPRK and China, the status of the civil servants was worrisome, and the military generals held military power and ran rampant in the world, the Son of Heaven misbelieved slander, the court was chaotic, and the Son of Heaven was often mourned, and the consequences were very serious.

If Xiao Fan really dared to put his reform ideas of the country in the golden palace of the court, everyone would do their best to participate in the impeachment, even if they did not want to fight for their lives, they also had to maintain the tradition of ruling the country with literature in all dynasties.

After Xiao Fan heard Jinyiwei's report, he sighed very depressed.

He felt full of grievances, but he couldn't vent, it was so difficult to implement a new system, which he didn't expect, it was out of a good intention, and he had the intention to help his friends maintain the throne of the country, but in the mouths of those ministers, he became a thief with ill intentions and set up the son of heaven, Xiao Fan felt extremely angry, but when he thought that the people of this era were pedantic and stubborn, their knowledge restrained their words and deeds, closed doors for more than ten years, and studied the books of sages and sages, and the feudal society created one after another nerds like Huang Guan, Is it really their fault? Perhaps, what is wrong is this era, and what is wrong is Xiao Fan's anachronism.

Xiao Fan has no intention of being a reformer, a reformer, or a name for himself, he just simply hopes to change history, make his friend's throne more stable, and make the suppression of the upcoming rebellion of the vassal king smoother, and that's it.

Cao Yi also learned about the gathering of the Qingliu ministers, and hurriedly asked Xiao Fan whether to take any action against these ministers, even if they were all arrested, it was not impossible to do it, and it was a big deal to hold their private gatherings, and the crime of misdeeds was imprisoned by Jinyiwei, and it was not a problem to ask them to confess any crime.

Xiao Fan vetoed Cao Yi's proposal without thinking, and he also wanted to crack down on dissidents, eliminate resistance, and smoothly implement his reform proposals, but Cao Yi's method was too rough, and the consequences were very serious, which might arouse the hostility of the Manchu civil and military forces, and he would be more and more difficult to move forward in the court at that time.

The reform of the military system touches the interests of the civilian clique and cannot be quelled by arresting a few ministers.

The sky was gloomy, just like Xiao Fan's state of mind at this time.

Before his reform ideas were officially announced in the Golden Palace, the dark tide in the capital had already begun to surge, and the reactions of all parties were mixed, and a sluggish atmosphere pressed heavily on people's chests, almost suffocating.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

Xiao Fan did not react to the private tandem of the Qinglius, and the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Si Yamen did not issue any instructions, and the Qingliu ministers became more and more emboldened, and in the next few days, they didn't even hide their deeds at all, and they unscrupulously gathered in tandem, and every time they denounced Xiao Fan's perverse behavior, disaster to the country and the people, and they would be called thieves, in Huangguan and Tyranny, Under the encouragement of Zhuo Jing and others, the opposition to Xiao Fan became more and more powerful.

Ignoring those mouthfuls shouting at the top of their throats, Xiao Fan was also doing his best.

At noon, the early dynasty had dispersed, and Xiao Fan took the official sedan chair to the Zuojun Governor's Mansion outside the Chengtian Gate.

The opposition of the civil officials, he didn't care very much, in this complex composition of the court, there is such a group of people, their fathers followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the birth and death, several bloody battles, loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they know how to retreat bravely, identify current affairs, or die early due to old illnesses and old injuries, and finally let the suspicious and murderous Zhu Yuanzhang relieved, so after their deaths, posthumously crowned them as the prince of the country or even the king with a different surname, and treated the children of these loyal ministers and subordinates well, so that the shadow of their fathers, from generation to generation, also arranged important and leisurely positions for the descendants of these meritorious services, so that the scholars and people of the world can see that he Zhu Yuanzhang is not a bad emperor who is a cunning rabbit and a lackey.

The Governor of the Left Army is such an important and leisurely position.

The person who held this position was Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, who inherited his father's title.

Xiao Fan got off the official sedan chair in front of the Yamen of the Left Army Governor's Mansion, and looked up, there were many guards in front of the house, the sergeants were brightly dressed and armored, and they were patrolling back and forth, and they were solemn and solemn.

Seeing a group of brocade-clothed captains in flying fish suits surrounded by a young man in civilian clothes but with a luxurious temperament, the guards at the gate immediately knew that it was a certain upstart in the court, and immediately did not dare to slack off, and after politely asking, they hurriedly and respectfully invited Xiao Fan in.

Li Jinglong's errand place was very comfortable, and in the left wing room of the third hall of the yamen, he was boredly plucking his ears, waiting for the time to get off work.

Xiao Fan was happy when he entered the door and saw his idle appearance.

"Grandpa Guo, it's only noon, at least you have to sit for another two hours before you can go on a bad trip, right?"

Li Jinglong was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look, but saw Xiao Fan standing at the door with a smile on his face, Li Jinglong couldn't help but say happily: "Cousin-in-law, why do you have time to come to me?" What a rarity......"

Hearing Li Jinglong's title, Xiao Fan was silent for a while, and suddenly a very famous Peking Opera singing voice came out: "...... My cousins are countless, and there is no big event that he doesn't come to the door......"

Li Jinglong was stunned: "What kind of weirdness is this?" What does it mean? ”

"It's not interesting, it's just to express the joy of reunion after a long absence......"

Li Jinglong became interested in Peking Opera and said: "The tone is weird, but it's very good, cousin-in-law, teach me ......."

Xiao Fan shook his head and refused: "No, you can't learn this." ”

"Why can't you learn it?"

Xiao Fan looked at him and said leisurely: "You know ......"

Li Jinglong paused, stomped his feet angrily and said: "Now you have to be a virgin to learn, do you have to be a virgin to learn this?" ”

Xiao Fan nodded very seriously.

Li Jinglong sighed sadly and indignantly: "Today, I know how important a man's chastity is!" ”

"There is good news, a few days ago, I improved the practice of the breast fingers, and now I can learn it even if I am not a child."

Li Jinglong turned sadness into joy: "Great! My cousin-in-law is really old-fashioned...... By the way, why did you suddenly think to improve it? ”

"Because I'm not a virgin now......" Xiao Fan was stunned.

Li Jinglong: "............"

…………………… After a few words of greeting, Li Jinglong leaned back in the chair and said lazily: "My cousin-in-law is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is busy with official business. We are all our own families, so we don't need to engage in so much politeness, let's get down to business. ”

Xiao Fan was silent for a while, then raised his head and said very seriously: "Grandpa Guo, I came here to talk to you about life and ideals today......

"Huh?" Li Jinglong was dumbfounded, and then said in confusion: "But...... I don't have a life or a dream to speak of......"

Xiao Fan said very calmly: "I know you didn't, talk about me." ”

Li Jinglong: "............"

"Grandpa Guo, since we are our own family, I will complain to you, I have been depressed recently......"

Li Jinglong laughed strangely: "I've heard for a long time, some sour people in the court are very dissatisfied with you, saying that you are causing trouble to the country and the government, with bad intentions, and shouting all day long that you want to go to the Golden Palace to visit you, I heard that you are going to do something...... Reform? Cousin-in-law, you said that you are a good commander, eating and drinking spicy food, what is wrong with doing something, why do you have to compete with those old stubborn people in the DPRK and China? Those people are like thick snot, and once provoked, they can't get rid of it......"

Xiao Fan said sincerely: "Grandpa Guo's literary style is extraordinary, and the metaphor is very appropriate......

Li Jinglong said happily: "It's over, I think about this every day when I'm idle, think about it, it's more appropriate to use snot to describe this gang of sour rot." ”

Xiao Fan sighed and said: "I was kind to share the worries of the Son of Heaven and benefit the society, but I never thought that the ministers of the court are pedantic and conservative to this point, and they want to implement a new system, and it is difficult to move forward......

"I heard you were going to ...... What does it mean to reform the military system? Do you want to change the law in the army? ”

Xiao Fan nodded and said: "Yes, the army is getting heavier, slack and tired, it's really time to treat it, otherwise it will be ...... in the future."

Li Jinglong's seemingly cynical little eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, and said, "You mean, the imperial court army may have to deal with it in the future...... The one to the north? ”

Looking at the man in front of him who had led an army of 600,000 to fight directly with Zhu Di in history, and was defeated like a mountain, Xiao Fan was a little complicated in his heart, and he thought about it for a long time, the matter of cutting the feudal domain is now an open secret in the court, and everyone is secretive, but they know it, and blindly covering it up seems hypocritical.

So Xiao Fan nodded very frankly: "Yes, if it is not expected, in the future, the court and the vassal king, perhaps...... There will be a war, now the border army is brave, although the number of the imperial army is numerous, but they are all weak, if this kind of combat power and the border army fight, the victory or defeat is difficult to predict, so it is imperative to reform the army system. ”

Li Jinglong said thoughtfully: "How do you plan to reform?" ”

"Whoever doesn't like the eye will reform him!"

Li Jinglong: "............"

"Hey, just kidding, in fact, reforming the military system will not hurt the foundation of the imperial court, and it will never make the atmosphere of the imperial court become heavy on military and light on literature, and the most important thing is ......"

Xiao Fanruo glanced at Li Jinglong meaningfully, and then said, "...... More importantly, the reform of the military system only moves the garrisons of thousands of households in various places, but does not move the governor's palace of the five armies, and the status and power of the prince and several other meritorious services have no effect, what was it before, and how it will ......be in the future."

Li Jinglong was silent, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed and said, "Since you are your own family, why do you want to say these unseen words?" I have known you for so long, and I have worked together in a yamen, but if you ask for something, how can I not help? ”

Xiao Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Guo......"

"Hey, wait, don't thank me yet," Li Jinglong raised his hand, paused, and said, "I don't know exactly what kind of charter you are talking about reforming the military system, of course, I don't need to know, what I want to know is ,...... What is the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards the reform of the military system? ”

Xiao Fan hurriedly said: "Of course I reported this matter to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven agrees......

"Really?"

Xiao Fan said: "If the Son of Heaven doesn't agree, do I dare to take this matter out casually?" The court is turbulent and windy, don't I know the stakes in it? ”

"Don't move the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?"

"Absolutely not."

Li Jinglong smiled with relief: "Since the Son of Heaven agrees, of course we can't object as courtiers, be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, and it is always right to follow the Son of Heaven, this is the truth that my deceased father once taught me, okay, cousin-in-law, you can rest assured, I dare not guarantee otherwise, above the Golden Palace of the court, we will never trouble you after this group of meritorious deeds, Xu Huizu, the eldest son of the King of Zhongshan, is also serving as the governor of the Left Army, I will look for him later, with me and him in the lead, None of the bastard boys in our circle in the capital dare to prick their heads, and they can't get along with us......"

Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Grandpa Guo for your righteous help, I will definitely repay you for this kindness." ”

Li Jinglong squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's all my own family, don't say kind words, I'm a straightforward person, don't go to your heart, it's not easy for us to mix in the court after these feats, unlike those civil officials who are single, and they have been in the Beijing for so many years, we have no ability, no knowledge, and eat the old book in the name of the deceased father, and now the family has a big business, the roots and leaves are deep, and the whole body is affected, so I have to be careful in everything, to be honest, I have no interest in reforming the military system or anything, The reason why I help you is because the Son of Heaven is on your side and has nothing to do with you, do you understand what I mean? ”

"I understand, Grandpa Guo is really fast......"

"Haha, you married the sister of the Son of Heaven, the county lord of Jiangdu, she is also my cousin, I treat you as my own family, so I told you these heart-wrenching words, irrelevant others regard me as a loser, big straw bale, I don't care, let them say, who is a fool, who is a straw bale, everyone knows in their hearts,—— smart people often don't live long, over the years, I have seen many smart ministers lose their heads, and I, a big straw bale, are still alive and well......" Li Jinglong smiled a little unfathomable.

Xiao Fan looked at Li Jinglong deeply, until this moment he seemed to realize that the big straw bag that had been scolded by the history books for hundreds of years was actually not what people imagined, thinking of the history books in the previous life Li Jinglong went to raid the house of the king of Zhou at the holy decree of Zhu Yunwen, and led hundreds of thousands of troops to be beaten by Zhu Di and fled...... Whether it's a straw bag or a loser, Li Jinglong has his own set of survival rules, no one can say that he did something wrong, change places, who dares to guarantee that he will definitely see death when he puts his sword on his neck?

If history is unchangeable, and Zhu Di is still in the city in the end, how will he choose at that time?

From stepping into the court as an official until now, everything Xiao Fan has done and every bit of effort has been for Zhu Yunwen, a friend, helping him consolidate the throne has become Xiao Fan's mission and belief, and those who betray their beliefs are more painful to live than die.

After thinking about it, maybe he will take his wife and Zhu Yunwen to flee to Nanyang together, after all, Xiao Fan is also a person who is afraid of death, and like those martyred ministers, he committed suicide without hesitation, Xiao Fan felt that he might not be able to do it...... Wipe your neck, you don't need to try it, you know, it must be very painful...... Coming back to his senses, Xiao Fan took out a stack of papers full of words from his sleeve with a smile, put them in front of Li Jinglong's case, and then gently pushed them in front of him.

Li Jinglong shook his eyes and said, "What is this?" ”

"Jin Yiwei cooperated with the private Chen family firm and opened more than a dozen stores, and on paper it is a contract for fifty percent of the dry shares of these stores, and now it is yours......"

A touch of greed suddenly flashed in Li Jinglong's eyes, half of the dividends of more than a dozen stores, and Cao Guogong, who is a big family, couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Losers also have the troubles of losing, such as the money is often not enough to spend...... "this...... My cousin-in-law is too polite, how embarrassing is it to call me......" Li Jinglong said embarrassed, but he quickly took the contract into his arms with both hands.

"Grandpa Guo helped me righteously, I really couldn't repay it, so I had to use these yellow and white things to express my heart in case. I know that Grandpa Guo has always been romantic, drinking flower wine, summoning Oiran, what kind of money should not be spent? This little bit of heart can at least allow you to spend a lot of money a few more times, and the face of the grandfather of the country will shine more and more brightly in front of the charming Oiran girl......"

Li Jinglong took a sip of tea from his cup slowly, and said leisurely: "My expenses are indeed not small, eating, drinking, and gambling money, but ......"

"But what?"

"But my lady never gives money."

“…………”

This shameless scumbag, why can't Hua Liu die?

Out of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Xiao Fan felt comfortable and relaxed.

This time, the annihilation of the party in the DPRK and China cooperated with those meritorious princes, on the one hand, there was a bad minister of annihilation, and on the other hand, there was a gentleman who was rampant in Beijing with the title of duke and marquis, such a strange and invincible combination, from the inside to the outside, there was such a miasma of black smoke and embarrassment.

The collusion between the annihilation party and the gentlemen, the two forces merged into one, and the Qinglius' right to speak in the court suddenly showed weakness.

Xiao Fan felt that the matter of announcing the reform of the military system on the Golden Palace was gradually approaching.

Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh, patience is very important, and if it is a little worse, small fresh is not new.

When the brocade-clothed pro-army guards who were guarding Xiao Fan saw him go out of the side door of the Governor's Mansion, they hurriedly lowered the official sedan chair and bowed down to invite Xiao Fan to get on the sedan chair.

Xiao Fan smiled heartily, waved his hand, and said, "Don't sit in a sedan chair, the official should take a walk and move his hands and feet." ”

After speaking, Xiao Fan walked forward leisurely with his hands in his hands, and the guards did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed closely behind him.

Yu Zu said that half of the long-held worries were finally solved, and Xiao Fan's mood was much better, and even the pedestrians of the business and travel shops on the streets of Jingshi felt very kind.

While walking, Xiao Fan smiled and sighed: "The country and the people are safe, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is a peaceful and prosperous world!" …… It's a pity that there are fewer pretty girls on the street. ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd in front of him suddenly moved, and then, Xiao Fan saw two figures running quickly on the street, one in front and one behind, the one in front was a beautiful and delicate girl, and the one in the back was wearing a white Confucian shirt and civilian clothes, chasing the girl out of breath.

Xiao Fan was shocked, and then said with a smile: "This world is interesting, has it been opened to this extent?" It's so shameless to chase a woman so urgently, right? ”

As he spoke, the two people who were chasing one after the other had already run in front of Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was about to call the guards to come forward and act bravely, when the hero saved the beauty, he looked at it, but saw that the man in the Confucian shirt chasing behind was actually Zhu Yunwen today.

Xiao Fan gasped in shock, and before he could react, Zhu Yunwen, who was panting, shouted while chasing: "Huang Ying, don't run!" You said! Do you love me or not? Love me or not? ”

The girl who ran in front didn't reply: "Xiao Fan! Do you still want to be shameless? How many times have I told you, don't love don't love don't love! Death doesn't love! ”

Zhu Yunwen was angry, and his handsome face turned red: "Who do you love if you don't love me?" ”

As soon as the girl raised her eyes, she saw Xiao Fan standing in front of her, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she raised her slender jade finger and pointed at Xiao Fan while running, and said loudly: "...... I love him! ”

Xiao Fan's legs were weak when he heard this, and before he could open his mouth to defend himself, he saw Zhu Yunwen like an angry bull, with white smoke puffing out of his nostrils, and he turned around, and rushed towards Xiao Fan with a murderous aura...... "! It's none of my business! I hit the soy sauce ......"
