Lin Feng and Han Xizai rushed to Situ Mansion, Situ Zhouzong had already laid down to rest, but Lin Feng was very stubborn and said that he had something very important and had to see Lord Situ tonight, forcing Zhou Ming, who was gloomy, to knock on the door of the study.

After a long time, the study was lit up by candlelight, Situ Zhouzong opened the door with a slight cough, and saw Lin Feng with a caring face and Han Xizai with an anxious face, shook his head gently, and waved at Zhou Ming, who had a hesitant face, to signal him to rest assured.

After Zhou Ming left, Lin Feng ignored Zhou Zong's invitation to let the two of them sit down at the desk, walked directly into the inner room, put up the pillow and thin quilt on the bed, and then turned around and helped Zhou Zong in, and asked the old man to lie down without saying anything.

The old man glanced at Lin Feng with relief, slowly leaned on the quilt, and nodded softly: "Say, is there something important that makes the two of you have to come to me tonight?" ”

Han Xizai knew that the old man of Lu Dao did not go to the court today, and he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, so he opened his mouth to briefly describe the things in the court and the Qingsi Hall today.

The old man listened calmly, and then turned his gaze to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng, who was standing in front of the bed, had a solemn face, stared at Zhou Zong's seemingly deep and silent eyes, and asked calmly, "Lord Situ, has you ever remembered the piety of the Warring States Qin Gongzi?" ”

The son is pious and has a pious surname. His story mainly involves the far-reaching Shang Dynasty reform of the Qin State.

Shang Ying studied under the Legalists, changed the law to focus on punishment, and paid attention to the fact that the Son of Heaven and the common people were guilty of the same crime. In order to establish faith, everyone is familiar with the allusion of the Shang Ying's bounty on the pillar at the city gate; In order to establish his authority, Shang Ying caught Gongziqian conniving at the prince's violation of the law and investigated it to the end, and Gongziqian, who was the prince's master, was finally punished by having his nose cut off. This kind of punishment is tantamount to a great shame for a prince, so when the crown prince succeeded to the throne as Queen Qin Huiwen, the prince falsely accused Shang Ying of rebellion, and Qin killed Shang Ying and destroyed his family.

Lin Feng thought about it, in fact, behind every failed change there was a negative example similar to Lu Huiqing, but before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there seemed to be only one Gongzi Qian who was a negative example of change that left a name in the annals of history, and he could only cite this example.

Situ Zhouzong nodded slightly and continued to stare at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, and said calmly: "Lord Situ has a lot of experience, so he naturally understands that it is not difficult for a country to change the law, but the difficulty is in whose hands the law is in the hands of whom, so as to ultimately protect whose interests, or in other words, to change whose interests." Just as Gongzi Qian was the representative of those who harmed the interests of the Qin State, those who may be damaged or about to be damaged in the change will definitely choose someone who can represent their interests.

Today, the general trend of my Datang reform has been formed, and the general trend should be smooth and not violated. At this moment, there is no point in simply opposing the change, and there is only one way left, to compete for the leadership of the change, and to find ways to make the change beneficial to oneself, or how to benefit from the change.

In the eyes of the lower officials, King Yan's request to go to the state and county to practice reform, and Feng Yansi's request to join the Qingsi Hall were both wise moves to adapt to this situation. At this point, the reform has officially entered the fierce stage of the leadership struggle, compared with the first stage of the debate on whether to change the law, this stage will be more cruel and bloody, it can be said that it is a battle of life and death! Since ancient times, there has only been one way to live and die in Huashan!

King Yan still cares about face, and hopes to re-enter the central government after making actual achievements in the local area, which is to compete for the leadership of change in a curved way; And Feng Yansi is different, it can be described as extremely shameless, he directly wants to come to the Qingsi Hall to grab peaches, which forces us to make a choice! ”

Zhou Zong sighed softly and closed his eyes tightly.

Lin Feng's heart suddenly softened when he saw the boss like this, but it instantly hardened again, and continued: "Everything in this world, if there is a possibility of becoming bad, will definitely develop towards the worst outcome. If the dominance of this change is lost, all the worst outcomes can happen, and anyone can guess a chain reaction that will happen later: the people in the Qingsi Palace will be transferred from their current posts one by one, and then they will be settled one by one, and then no one will be involved in the change, and everything involved in the change will be slowly cleansed......"

Hearing this, Zhou Zong opened his eyes, stared at Lin Feng, and interjected, "Do you mean to let me come forward and invite myself to the Qingsi Hall as well?" ”

Sure enough, he is a big guy who has been up and down in the sea all his life, and he can guess it! Lin Feng didn't answer, his eyes turned to the night sky outside the window, and he continued to murmur: "I'm alone, but I believe that none of the people who follow me now and those who are involved with me will be better, including Zhou Ming ...... the supermarket."

Zhou Zong stretched out his hand, stopping Lin Feng's thought of continuing to speak, and his eyes closed again.

Lin Feng also stood there in a respectful manner, waiting for the boss's decision with a respectful expression.

After a long time, Zhou Zong shook his head lightly and said, "With my body, how long can I last?" ”

Lin Feng immediately continued: "It won't take long, Xia Guan just wants to fight for a buffer space, Xia Guan has several clever plans behind, and there will be great changes soon." ”

Lin Feng gritted his teeth, and did not tell his plans about the Chu State in the west and the Qingyuan Army in the southeast, now, all this is still empty and white, and saying it has a deceptive feeling of painting cakes in the air. But Lin Feng can be sure that in less than half a year at most, great changes will take place in the north and west, and his Academy of Sciences will definitely be able to launch dazzling development results, and his previous preemptive achievements will play a role. Therefore, the most important thing now is to ensure that there are no great changes within the Southern Tang Dynasty during this "window period"!

Zhou Zong's lips squirmed slightly, and he said twice in an inaudible voice: "Emperor E...... Emperor E......"

Lin Feng was happy in his heart, the old man thought of Emperor E's future happiness for the first time, but he was afraid that he had already agreed in his heart, so he immediately bowed down and said: "Please believe that the old man is here, there is no lie in the next place, I dare to bet that this world will soon undergo earth-shaking changes!"

Zhou Zong stared at Lin Feng quietly for a long time before he said, "The old man believed in you before, and he should believe in you now!" I hope you don't let me down! ”

Lin Feng was overjoyed, knelt down respectfully, and replied solemnly: "Thank you, Lord Situ!" Please rest assured, Lin Feng swears now that he will not disappoint the adults in any way! Zhou Zongyu admonished him with a pun, and Lin Feng also responded with a pun, assuring by the way that he would definitely treat Emperor Zhou E well in the future!

"Get up, tomorrow the old man will go to court on time!" Zhou Zong waved his hand, signaling that the two could retreat.

Lin Feng and Han Xizai saluted together, gently blew out the candlelight, and walked out of the room backwards.

Out of the Zhou Mansion, Lin Feng looked at the dark sky and said softly to Han Xizai: "Brother Han, I won't go to the morning court tomorrow, I will wait for your latest news at home!" ”

Han Xizai hummed softly and didn't speak again.

On the second day, Lin Feng got up on time to exercise, got along with his family for a while, and then began to arrange the people he needed to meet at night in the past few days. Lin Feng's side was not completely busy yet, and the news of Han Xizai arrived, and the coachman who sent him into the palace brought a piece of paper.

Lin Feng unfolded it and looked at it, and there were only a few simple words on the paper: "Boss, Pick a Talent, Spectator; Sikong and the right servant shoot, a total of three people".

Lin Feng suddenly understood that Lao Han was telling himself that when Master Situ went to court, he used his experience when he participated in the talent ceremony to show that he was unwilling to pay tribute to the emperor during the critical period of change, and asked the emperor to allow him to watch the gratifying changes brought about by the Tang Dynasty reform on the side as an old man who had worked hard for the Southern Tang Dynasty all his life.

With Feng Yansi's shameless self-invitation to open the way, the boss's remarks are naturally more convincing, and Li Jing will naturally not refuse; However, the difference from what Lin Feng imagined was that Situ Zhouzong's lane triggered another chain reaction: Sikong Li Jianxun and Shangshu's right servant Sun Sheng were not willing to be lonely, and they also volunteered to join the Qingsi Palace, and Li Jing simply and generously agreed.

Lin Feng couldn't help but smile, it was actually better for the three elders to sit in the Qingsi Palace! Feng Yansi mixed the water first, and he also succeeded in mixing the water even more, in this way, no one would want to catch a big fish easily!

Lin Feng burned the paper on the candle, went out of the house and found Zhang Bin and Feng Jingyun, who were waiting for boredom, and said loudly: "Let's go, let's go back to the valley!"
