Liu Xinshou and Guo Feiyan were happy as soon as they returned to the Hou Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info@樂@ζ–‡@小@Say|After the Xiao family went to the Zheng family, the Zheng family's garden was beautiful, the two lived in the garden, and Zheng Qingluan did not stop them. Both families know that these two people are Zheng Qingluan's heavy people, and they look like treasures. All very well taken care of.

"You're spoiling them now!" Xiao Yunfeng pretended to complain.

"Then I will pet those who can withstand the favor. A sensible person, no matter how much he spoils him, he can't spoil it. It's like an adult spoiling a child. Our family was not good before, but my father and mother also spoiled us. I didn't see any of our brothers and sisters spoiled. Zheng Qingluan took the tea and handed it over, and said disapprerovantly.

That's true!

Xiao Yunfeng nodded, staring at him horizontally. No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? Changing the subject, he said, "It's the last day of the exam. In the afternoon, it is time for candidates to leave the examination room one after another. It's clearly going to be a mess. If the emperor doesn't cut through the mess quickly, it will be troublesome to deal with the matter. It is said that the mouth of the people is more important than the mouth of the people, and when the time comes, it will be up to him to block the mouths of the people of the world. ”

Zheng Qingluan sighed with the same feeling, "Ping Ziqian can be regarded as a generation of Confucians! The current situation is that he is not only a student of the emperor! With the name of the emperor, he is really famous. Who doesn't want to climb the relationship with the emperor as a brother and sister. It is really famous, and there are not many students who worship under him, and it is not an easy matter for these people to be screened and dealt with! Many of these people are either in high positions or from noble backgrounds. There are even some who are from poor families, but the emperor has arranged more important official positions for the sake of the same teacher. The official position is not high, and the authority is not small. These people are big problems to deal with. What's more, they themselves have quite a few protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and if they are seriously investigated, there are so many people involved that they dare not imagine! It is easy to deal with Ping Ziqian, but it is difficult to deal with so many people involved! I have to consider the consequences of a chain reaction!"

"But, first of all, Ping Ziqian still has to be formally detained. Before the students organize a series of troubles, it is good to let this matter be settled!" Xiao Yunfeng took a sip of tea, and his brows never relaxed.

Zheng Qingluan was about to speak, when he saw Xiao Da hurriedly come in, "Master, master, Ping Ziqian was brought into the palace by Prince Rui!"

The two of them looked at each other, and they both let out a sigh of relief. Xiao Da saw that the two of them didn't have any instructions, so he retreated, he was still busy.

"It's not stupid!" Xiao Yunfeng smiled, "Okay, it's none of our business for the time being." It's time to be hungry!" He glanced at Zheng Qingluan and commanded, "Set the meal!"

After the two of them moved to sit down, Xiao Yunfeng suddenly said, "After eating, drink the medicine! The body is not to be used as a joke. ”

Zheng Qingluan was stunned for a moment! What is the matter with this person staring at her all the time! After drinking the medicine last night, he will know it today. She gave him a disgusted look, "Got it!"

The two have always been simple, with four dishes and one soup. Steamed sea bass, braised shrimp in oil, mixed with three shreds, mapo tofu. Chicken skin sour bamboo shoot soup.

It's all dishes for dinner, Zheng Qingluan ate three bowls of rice in a row, and Xiao Yunfeng was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped, "Eat some snacks later, don't hold on." ”

Zheng Qingluan was satisfied. I just feel tired, as long as I have a full stomach, my body and mind will be steady. "I took a turn and wanted to take a nap. If anything, you call me. ”

Not to mention how Xiao Yunfeng and Zheng Qingluan are busy, just talk about Emperor Tai'an, he can be regarded as exhausted.

At this moment, in front of Emperor Tai'an sat Ping Ziqian. His beard is all white, and he looks like a fairy. He is sixty-eight years old, which is considered an advanced age. It is said that life is rare for 70 years, and this is absolutely true in ancient times. Living to the age of seventy is definitely rare.

It is said that one day is a teacher and a father for life, but this is somewhat inappropriate when the student is an emperor! After all, there is a difference between a monarch and a minister. Despite this, respecting teachers cannot be lost. Even if he was a prisoner, no one dared to embarrass the emperor's teacher. He sat opposite Emperor Tai'an at this time, his expression was calm, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were slightly closed. It's not like a prisoner, but like an old master who came to teach students.

"Why, teacher? Emperor Tai'an sighed and asked.

"You're not material for you. The old man once said this bluntly to the first emperor. Ping Ziqian opened his eyes, his eyes full of complexity, "It's not because you're narrow-minded, it's not because you're suspicious by nature." It's that your pattern is not enough, and your courage is not enough. You don't have the courage to be a king!"

"Courage!" Emperor Tai'an's face was a little ugly, "I want to hear it in detail!"

"The emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, the court situation is chaotic, the text is controlled by the Du family, and the force has been almost divided by all the nobles. You are constantly looking for a balance among them, but you don't have the courage to break it, and you don't have the ability to pick up the mess. Ping Ziqian had a little worry on his face, "Can the world still withstand such rubbing?" What have you done for the people of the world for more than ten years? Not even the money for disaster relief could be raised. In the emperor's heart, he can think about these. All your energy is focused on fighting for power and profit with your courtiers. Is this what an emperor should do? From the very beginning, you put yourself in the wrong place!"

"If the Du family is cleaned up from the beginning, the emperor will be able to control Wenchen. With civil servants from all over the country to restrain the military generals scattered in various places, is it still difficult to gather military power? You must know that the army has always been the hardest hit area of corruption, as long as you grasp the handle, you can quickly cut through the chaos and replace people. ”

"But what about you, Your Majesty, keep the Du family and go to balance with Xungui. You also have to prevent the resurgence of the Xiao family, isn't it? But why don't you want to think about it, are the Du family and Xungui, or the Xiao family stupid. Don't they know the truth of 'the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks'? Only by keeping their opponents can they have the space and necessity to survive!"

"Otherwise, you think that with the fancy intestines of the generals, if you want to calculate a general, it will be so difficult, you think that with the ability of the generals, you can't crowd out the Wenchen who restricts them. The two parties just have a tacit understanding, and the disputes continue, but they never make a dead hand. No one will hurt the other's vitality. You look like the two sides are hostile, but in fact, they are dependent on each other for life and death, sharing weal and woe! Even the Xiao family is doing the same. Otherwise, how did the prince of the Tartars escape from the avalanche mountain. With Zheng Qingluan's ability, the Boy Scouts were unscathed at that time, so why couldn't they deal with the three or two wounded remnants of the defeated generals who survived. ”

"The most important thing for an emperor is the art of controlling people! And the emperor, you, are not controlling people, but coercing people. The Xiao family is the most obvious example! What kind of person is Xiao Yunfeng! He is the only seedling of the Xiao family full of loyalty. For the sake of the reputation of the Xiao family, he will not stand on the opposite side of the emperor unless he has to. The Xiao family's century-old reputation was exchanged for the Xiao family's life. They value their reputation more than their lives. What's more, he is still the emperor's nephew, as long as you are willing to give him enough trust, he is the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand! Not to mention invincible, it is not much worse. With him standing behind you, even if you were wrong in the first ten years, as long as you correct Xiao Yunfeng's problem in time, the world is still stable. ”

"It's just that what you did later made the old man really disappointed!" Ping Ziqian stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup on the table, and drank several sips before he felt more comfortable in his throat. He looked at Emperor Tai'an sadly, "I will teach you to read history, the kings of all dynasties, there is no shortage of Ming monarchs and holy lords, you have not learned the way of governing the country and controlling people on them, but you have only learned the path of intrigue and trickery." Those things can't govern the world. ”

"Now you ask the old man why. The old man answers you! For the sake of the world!"

"The old man is not a remnant of the previous dynasty, although there is a person in the house who has been coercing and seducing under the banner of the old man's grandson. The reason why I cooperated with them in this incident was that they happened to coincide with the old man! The old man was not one of theirs! Before the restoration of the dynasty, he took the road of turning back! History, there is never a way to go back!"

"The old man did not collude with the Du family, which the emperor knew best. But the old man can indeed be called a thief. ”

"The old man doesn't regret it! Everything he did was just in line with the way of heaven!"

"Since it is destined to perish, what is the defense of the old man if he pushes it. The old man doesn't care about his name before and after his death, as long as the world is peaceful!"

"This gloomy court should have been broken a long time ago!"

"Let the old man start this!"

After Ping Ziqian finished speaking, he no longer glanced at Emperor Tai'an, and closed his eyes again.

Emperor Tai'an laughed, and his voice grew louder and louder. Unspeakable desolation. His teacher has a good plan, but he has never revealed half of it. It can be seen that what he said is true, and in the eyes of the teacher, he is not a qualified student, nor is he a qualified emperor. The teacher is a great talent, but he has never been used by him! What an indescribable irony!

"The teacher still remembers the horse control technique that was given to me. Emperor Tai'an's voice was faint, and he seemed to have a little smile. But Ping Ziqian, as Emperor Tai'an's teacher, how could he not see the joy and anger of this student clearly. He knew that this was Emperor Tai'an's anger to the extreme. The art of riding a horse requires three things, an iron whip, two iron hammers, and three daggers.

That's not a polite approach!

The look on Ping Ziqian's face was even more disappointed!

Zheng Qingluan didn't take long to know the conversation between the master and apprentice, and it was inevitable that he was a little embarrassed, and said to Xiao Yunfeng, "If the emperor can pardon Ping Ziqian's sins after this incident, provide for him in his old age, and let him die a righteous life." Perhaps, as Ping Ziqian said, there is still salvation in this world. ”

Xiao Yunfeng shook his head and smiled, "He doesn't have such a heart!"

"Actually, Ping Ziqian is a good teacher! Those words are not a lesson to the emperor. Only by knowing the shortcomings can we correct them! But he didn't seem to have thought about it at all. He has lost his composure and discernment!" Zheng Qingluan glanced at Xiao Yunfeng meaningfully.

Xiao Yunfeng's eyes deepened, he knew that that day was not far away!
