Li Xin was waiting for Zhang Fangyan to ask such a question, but he didn't want to answer directly, so he asked rhetorically: "What does Elder Ge think Li Xin wants?" ”

This rhetorical question was something Zhang Fangyan didn't expect, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Good rhetorical question!" Good rhetorical question! His laughter was a cover-up, in other words, Li Xin's rhetorical question was not really asking him what he thought, but asking what he wanted Li Xin to do. Regarding this point, Zhang Fangyan asked himself if he couldn't tell the truth, so he didn't want to continue this topic.

Li Xin chased after him, "The elder hopes that Li Xin will hang up the crown and leave, and since then there is no Li Xin and his people in the Ming Dynasty, so that the court and the Chinese are all happy, and there is no risk of the martial arts exceeding the system?" ”

Zhang Fangyan stroked his goatee under his chin and smiled without saying a word, but his heart was gloomy. He admits that this has the implication of hiding the birds, but if he sits idly by, it is conceivable that there will be another situation of secession in the late Tang Dynasty. For hundreds of years since Song Taizu, the imperial court has been doing its best to prevent this kind of chaos from reappearing in Huaxia Shenzhou, how could it fail in the world?

The rise of this kind of thought made the faint compassion in Zhang Fangyan's heart swept away again. So, the whole person also calmed down, not to mention that he is now a fallen governor, and he has no real power in his hands, even if he has great power, he will press Li Xin down to death.

"The elder must be thinking at this moment, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, and the bird is hidden. But looking at the world, wars are still frequent, and the Northeast Jiannu is eyeing the tiger, how can it be the time for Ma to put Nanshan? Can't you and I work together to maintain the safety of this Ming Dynasty? Is it just because Li Xin is a martial artist that I have to be deprived of the right to do something practical for the people? Even if you want to hide the bow of the bird, it is not too late to wait for the world to be decided. In a situation like this, fighting in the same room can only make the relatives painful and the enemies happy! ”

Li Xin's inner confession surprised Zhang Fangyan and was deeply moved. In his impression, this town marquis is soft on the surface but hard as iron stone on the inside, and has many amazing actions, and his disobedience is obvious. But this kind of judgment is the opposite of today's confession, which made Zhang Fangyan not know how to judge for a while.

Could it be that he misread Li Xin? Is it really perverse behavior, and he is bent on serving the court? After this question, Zhang Fangyan immediately denied this assertion. With Li Xin's various actions, his mind is by no means simple. Compared with external troubles, internal troubles are more fatal. If the internal troubles are not eliminated, how can we talk about pacifying the external enemy and stabilizing the world?

However, then again, Li Xin's confession may not be completely fake, Zhang Fangyan's earnest words just now moved Zhang Fangyan, he thinks that Li Xin may not be incorrigible, as long as he controls it properly, it may not be a blessing for the court. And the person who can control Li Xin is not Zhang Fangyan. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there is only Sun Chengzong.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fangyan couldn't help but regret again and again, sending General Li Xin and his Three Guards to Jiangnan was definitely a trick, if he was sent to Shanhaiguan Liaoxi and returned to Sun Chengzong's control, wouldn't it be like a good horse saddle? Where is all this chaos coming about? In his opinion, Li Xin's southward movement is like a dragon entering the sea, and no one can stop him today. Unless, unless Lu Xiangsheng can open up the north-south traffic of the Grand Canal within a month, it will be helpless when he gradually becomes a wing.

Looking at Zhang Fangyan's gradually cooling expression, Li Xin knew how naïve he was trying to persuade this old man today, as if such a person would be stubborn and abnormal if he was a bone minister, how could he not be able to convince him with a few words? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he couldn't help but miss the Zhang Fangyan who was a little bit of a promise when he was in Taiyuan, although the previous qiē table xiàn may be an illusion, but it is not so incompatible, right?

Who said that he, Li Xin, must create a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty? If the emperor has the wisdom to understand people, has the courage to take responsibility, and outlines the situation, he can also drive and serve.

Li Xin repeated in his heart, and a sneer gradually appeared on his face, and he asked rhetorically: "The elder of the pavilion keeps saying that he is loyal to the monarch and serving the country, Li Xin dares to ask, what has the elder of the pavilion done since he came to Nanzhili?" In addition to hollowing out your mind to oppose Li Xin, have you suppressed the thieves, or have you done a little bit of practical things for the people? ”

This sentence hit the nail on the head, Li Xin was right, Zhang Fangyan was silent for the first time. He really only cared about dealing with Li Xin, and he had been trying to suppress Li Xin and restore the system for the imperial court. But is there something wrong with that? No problem! But Li Xin's words made him extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

If Li Xin's words before were just scratching his boots, then these words were like a slender steel needle, piercing his armor and piercing his flesh and heart. Zhang Fangyan felt that his heart was dripping blood, didn't he want to kill the thief? Doesn't he want to do something practical for the people? He thought, he thought too much, but he didn't do anything. Even when he was trying to suppress Li Xin, he seemed to subconsciously ignore it.

On the other hand, Li Xin first relieved the siege of Fengyang, and then relieved the siege of Jiujiang. These troop use matters were his responsibility, but this person actually built water diversion projects in Yingtian, Zhenjiang, Songjiang, Suzhou, and many other prefectures and counties, and actually solved the problem of drought and water shortage this year in one fell swoop, and played a decisive role in holding the harvest in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are really the granaries of the world, if the south of Zhili drought is out of harvest, the world does not know what kind of virtue to be messed up.

One by one, one by one, it is really a vicious irony. Zhang Fangyan was a little difficult to accept, it was this Li Xin, who suppressed him in every way under the pretext of not being subordinate, and then it was this person who did so many things under his own suppression.

If later generations judge it, what will the history of the history write about itself? Is it not enough to succeed and more than to fail? Or do you just do your best and die?

Li Xin's words were obviously not finished.

"In June, the Haikou invaded Nanjing, and the nearby people not only did not wave their flags and cheer for the officers and soldiers, but instead gathered in groups to point and point and look lively, and even gambled on treasures, and there were not a few who won the Haikou Kou, how could this kind of numbness not make people of insight feel cold. Do you know why? ”

"This is a splash, just a mess!" Zhang Fangyan subconsciously blurted out that in his eyes, this kind of person is just a handful, and it is far less exaggerated than Li Xin said.

But Li Xin sneered again: "How ridiculous is Elder Ge's words? Emperor Wen of Tang once said that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. Now the people are reluctant to carry the boat, because there is no other reason, just for the hypocrites who keep saying that they are loyal to the king and serve the country, they only know that there is a court but do not know the world, they only know that there is a military affair but they do not know that there is a civil administration, they only know that there is a civil and military path but they do not know how to work together, in the final analysis, the country does not know that there is a people, and the people do not know that there is a country. Therefore, the court has suppressed thieves for more than ten years, but the thieves have killed more and more, because it was you hypocrites who abandoned them first. Once the famine is over, the hungry mayflies are everywhere, and the children are eaten, and they abound, what will you officials who are loyal to the king and serve the country do at that time? Where did it go again? Is that so loyal? Is it so to serve the country? ”

The more Li Xin spoke, the more excited he became, and when he said this, he suddenly got up, brushed his sleeves and sneered: "If this is the so-called loyalty to the country by the elder of the pavilion, Li Xin would rather be a chaotic minister and thief!" ”

"Li Xin, you are presumptuous!"

Hearing Li Xin's questioning, and saying such rebellious words as being a rebellious minister and thief, he blurted out the words of reprimand, but how pale and powerless this reprimand was. Li Xin is right, since the first year of Chongzhen, the thieves have been exterminated, and it is true that the people have no hope of living.

These judgments were not the reason for Zhang Fangyan's gaffe, what really made him lose his temper was the accusations. said that he only knew that there was a court, but he didn't know that there was a world. said that he only knew that there was a different path of civil and military affairs, but he did not know that there was a common boat. Is this accusing him of ignoring the overall situation and ignorance of the general situation?

Comparatively speaking, these are not the most embarrassing things for Zhang Fangyan, but what is even more embarrassing is the sentence that the country does not know that there are people, and the people do not know that there is a country. This sentence is tantamount to denying the belief he relied on to uphold, is it wrong for him to suppress the martial artists in power? Li Xin couldn't give him an answer to this question, the court couldn't give him an answer, and maybe even the world couldn't give him an answer.

Mr. Zhang seemed to hear some sounds, a kind of prelude to the dam collapse.

After Li Xin said these words, he left without looking back, leaving the stunned and speechless Zhang Fangyan behind him. This accusation and angry scolding was dripping with joy, sweeping away the sullen breath that had been held in his mouth for many years. However, he also knew that this was a complete break with Zhang Fangyan. It seems that Xiong Mingyu can only rely on one mouth and his soldiers to go to Hangzhou to clean up the Zhejiang City Bo Division and the Zhejiang Political Envoy Division.

In this way, 500 people may not be enough, and it is inconvenient to send 1,000 people over, even if the entire political envoy department is arrested, it will be more than enough.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, a pro-soldier came to report, and Zhang Ge sent a soap to deliver a letter, saying that it was a very important official document, and he must let the marquis of the town see it as soon as possible.

Li Xin opened the envelope of the fire paint official document in confusion, took out the official document inside, and looked up and down a few times before feeling overjoyed.

"Quick, transfer this official document to Xiong Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry!"

The original one was actually written by Zhang Fangyan himself, stamped with the private seal of the governor. Xiong Mingyu was instructed to go to Hangzhou to thoroughly investigate the Zhejiang City Bo Division, and to be related to the Yamen officials, but he would not tolerate it if he found it.

This can't help but make Li Xin a little thoughtful, could it be that Zhang Fangyan was actually enlightened by his own venting words? However, it doesn't matter whether Zhang Fangyan is enlightened or not, the important thing is that he went to Hangzhou to thoroughly investigate Zhejiang City Bosi on his behalf with Xiong Mingyu.

Thinking of this, Li Xin sighed again, it turned out that this old man had already known what he was thinking.
