"Let's go. Lin Beichuan turned his head and sat down on his horse, the horse was in pain, and galloped, and the soldiers behind him also ran, and the northern soldiers soon left the confines of Kyoto and headed for the north. "Father, why are you in such a hurry? Linyue Mountain rode a horse and followed Linbeichuan's side. "Kyoto, the smell has long changed, the stench is incomparable, there is nothing to stay in, staying for a long time will only make the world think that I am in Beichuan plotting wrong, go, go home. ”

The pace of the Northern Army was heading towards the north, and at this moment in Kyoto, Qi Can was sitting in the dark room, and kneeling in front of him was the big eunuch Hai Lianqing dressed in red, "Have you found an opportunity?" Qi Can asked. "Qi Yuanyan has always blocked that little cub tightly, and there are also masters in the Linbeichuan army, I don't dare to make a rash move, I'm afraid that if I fail, Linbeichuan dog will jump off the wall in a hurry. Affect the stability of the world. "Yes, that can only mean that the kid's life should not be extinguished, you go out first, and I will be alone for a while." Qi Can waved his hand and motioned for Hai Lianqing to leave.

Qi Can sat in the dark, constantly thinking about the past, although he was still young at the time, he clearly remembered how invincible Linbeichuan was when he was young, and he was extremely respectful and even grateful for this man at that time, and he knew at that time that with the help of such a person, his family was already at ease in this world, but as he grew up day by day, he was in the royal family, and his admiration and respect for this man had slowly transformed into suspicion and vigilance, he couldn't imagine that if one day, Linbeichuan wanted to be the emperor, how could he resist, his prestige and combat effectiveness, are far above himself, Qi Can sometimes even blames his father, did not help himself clear the biggest threat to himself when he was dying, a time bomb that may explode at any time, today is the best opportunity, Lin Beichuan is not young, if there are no descendants, it will be easier to enjoy his old age, why, why. Qi Can thought about it, and smashed the inkstone on the table into the corner of the side.

"Holy Lord, there is urgent news. A eunuch came to report outside the door, and Qi Can, who had just been angry, was startled, stood up, straightened his somewhat messy hair and clothes, straightened the beard at the corner of his mouth, stood up, and tried to regain his calm: "Tell me something, come in." ”

The door creaked open, and a little eunuch walked in with a soldier, who bowed his head and knelt on the ground, and said, "Emperor Qi, Uncle Qi passed away outside the north gate today." "Is it true? Is the imperial uncle gone? Let the imperial uncle prepare with the greatest specifications, the imperial uncle has made great contributions to the great qi, and he should enjoy the highest royal etiquette, let the Ministry of Rites prepare the plain, let the whole of Kyoto mourn the imperial uncle for seven days, let the prison star watch the good time, and the imperial uncle should enter the imperial mausoleum. Tell me to go down, and stand down. ”

"Yes. After the two of them responded in unison, they were about to leave, but the little eunuch couldn't help but glance back when he left, and looked at the inkstone thrown on the ground aside. The little eunuch's head just twisted slightly, but Qi Can saw it in his eyes, Qi Can called out to the little eunuch who was about to leave, and then ordered someone to close the door, and glanced at the little eunuch standing in front of him: "What's your name?" "Hui Sheng, the slave's name is Xiao Guizi." "Ah, little Guizi, Grandpa Hai told me about you, that you are clever, what were you looking at just now? What did you hear outside the door?"

When Xiao Guizi heard this, he shook his head again and again, and fell to his knees at once, and kept saying in his mouth: "The minion's ears are not good, and I haven't heard anything." "Bullying the king is a big crime, my father taught me, as an emperor, you must be happy and angry, I have done it for so many years, I don't like to be angry, and I don't like to be seen by others, the emperor must have the majesty of the emperor, why did you say you heard it." Qi Can said, stood up, and walked to Xiao Guizi's side step by step. Xiao Guizi's whole body was prostrate on the ground, constantly kowtowing, knocking, his mouth was slurred, and he couldn't hear what he was saying. Tears and snot mixed with his face. Qi Can looked at the scene in front of him, slowly walked behind Xiao Guizi, sat on Xiao Guizi, pulled Xiao Guizi's head with one hand, and stabbed the paper pressing knife in his hand into Xiao Guizi's throat with one hand. After speaking, he stood up, wiped his bloody hand on Xiao Guizi's clothes when he got up, and then walked to the door, pushed open the door, and Hai Lianqing, who smelled the smell of blood not far away, was already standing at the door, Qi Can didn't speak, and walked out, Hai Lianqing walked into the room, disposed of the body, and soon restored the whole room to its original appearance, and a little eunuch died, insignificant.

On the second day of the court meeting in Kyoto, all the ministers of the court wore plain clothes, above the court, after the Ministry of Rites said the funeral specifications and praised the life and deeds of Qi Yuanyan, the whole court was silent, quiet, Qi Can looked at the civil and military officials in the audience, couldn't help laughing, and then pointed to the audience, and scolded loudly: "Just yesterday, Lin Beichuan led the troops to Kyoto, and there were many revenges against those who slandered him along the way, don't you like to talk about his mistakes? Why, no one spoke today?" Is it because I am afraid that he will come to Beichuan, you civil servants, some people dare to say how I should deal with it? You military generals, if one of you dares to lead the troops forward, they are all waste. ”

After Qi Can's scolding, no one in the audience dared to speak, but at this moment, one of them gritted his teeth and took a step out: "Back to the emperor, the minister has a book to play," The person who spoke was Yan Qingyun, who was beaten by Linyue Mountain a few days ago, Yan Qingyun at this moment should be the last behavior, and now he is now in the third grade, he thought about wealth and danger, so he walked out again," Linbeichuan vainly claimed to be a minister, led troops into Beijing, and murdered colleagues, which should be punished, but the saint was benevolent and virtuous, in order not to reject the promise of the emperor, he bypassed Linbeichuan's life and title, but even so, he should also deduct the rations of the northern border, increase the taxes in the north, and look at the saint Mingjian. ”

"Yan Qingyun. Qi Can pointed to Yan Qingyun who was standing under the stage, and smiled, "I remember you, you said well, but it's not enough, I think that the rations for three years in the north should be halved, and let him know that in this world, the surname is still Qi." In this matter, you go to pass the decree, and when you come back, I will let you be promoted to a grade. As soon as Qi Can's words came out, the hall was quiet, you know, the land of the king, the rations have been reduced, and Yulu means that the holy decree has been issued, allowing you to cut your troops, reducing the funding of the imperial court, and not letting you raise so many troops.

When Yan Qingyun heard this, his eyes were dark, his body was weak, and he knelt straight to the ground, thinking in his heart that he just wanted to earn some performance, but who knew that this time, he even lost his name, but in this situation, he couldn't allow himself to say no, so he could only shout thank the Lord Longen and receive the holy decree.

"Retreat. Qi Can stood up and prepared to leave, and the civil and military officials were also about to speak, but they were interrupted by someone in the audience. "Holy and slow, the minister still has something to play. "The person who spoke was the prime minister of the dynasty, Zhang Boyo.

Qi Can turned around, Zhang Boyao took out a book from his arms, then opened it, and read it in his mouth: "Hangzhou prefect Heguang, bribery, embezzlement of grain depots, county officials, accept bribes to judge the case, Guangzhou prefect Li Kun, the ink in his belly is empty, and the case is decided by preference, Zhao Qiang, the prefect of Taiyuan, raped the people's daughters and made millions of profits for his family..... There are countless such things, I have a lot of officialdom, it is too chaotic, and I hope that the saint will rectify it. Zhang Boyo kept talking, and he said hundreds of charges against different local officials.

"The prime minister thinks how to deal with these things. After hearing this, Qi Can slowly sat down and looked at Zhang Boyo in front of him.

"Above the officialdom, the officials protect each other, I think, these things are not an example, to have a pursuit, it is the sin of the system, above the officialdom, everyone is a child of the family, the family itself is good, all everyone will protect each other, so that no one in the court of Nuoda dares to speak, the family is powerful, the offender has no fear, bold, the family clings to each other, or the use of gold and silver may be beneficial, the family businessmen and officials collude with each other, there are many friendships, the people of the court, many times to slip the horse, tend to be inflammatory, how can this court be good? How can the world of my great Qi be forever consolidated, is it possible that the great country and the country only need to be maintained by martial artists? On the contrary, my literati have become moths in the world?"

"Zhang Boyo, how dare you be?" "Among the scholars, how can there be such a scum as you. "I am a great Qi country forever, Qi is your Zhang Boyo's defeat?" "Zhang Boyo, aren't you bewitched by Linbeichuan and come here to talk nonsense. As soon as Zhang Boyao's voice fell, the entire court was filled with abuse and curses against Zhang Boyo, and it was boiling for a while, and the scene was even worse than when he denounced Lin Beichuan.

"Nonsense, retreat. Qi Can was rarely a little angry, waved his big hand, turned around and left, and Zhang Boyo stood in the hall, although some people were afraid of Zhang Boyo's identity as the prime minister, no one stepped forward, but people who threw something and spit abounded. Slowly, everyone dispersed, even Yan Qingyun, who was paralyzed on the ground, was helped away, and Zhang Boyu was still standing in the main hall alone, with his eyes closed, as if he was waiting for someone.

Soon, someone from outside the hall came over, it was Qi Can, who went and returned, Qi Can stepped forward, helped Zhang Boyo wipe the dust and saliva on his body, and said: "Teacher really think so? Your Zhang family is also a family, and it is the head of the family." ”

"I am a family and a Confucian student, the family is rotten, the family and the country are all over the world, for the people of the world, give up my small family, I Zhang Boyue has a clear conscience. ”

"The teacher knows that your move, you move the whole body, the world can't tolerate the teacher, the people of the family are not only above board, the teacher does this, there is a possibility of death. Maybe there was no result even at that time, and there was a long way to go in such a restructuring, and maybe the teacher might not even see a day of success. The descendants of the teacher are also difficult not to be targeted by the family. Rare good ending"

"Dare to set a precedent alone. Now most of the family has no soldiers, and if it is restructured, it must be now. ”

The teacher only said this, presumably he had already made a plan, and the student Qi Can was a scholar in the world, thank you, Mr. After speaking, he was about to bow and kneel down but was supported by Zhang Boyuo, "This is the main hall, I am the king of you, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, my generation of Confucians, naturally should do this, the saint does not have to be like this." ”
