Chapter 78: Human Nature

Lin Fan added a cup of tea to himself.

When the hot tea was in his mouth, the chill disappeared, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but lift slightly.

He thought that the emperor had given him a good reason so that he could justifiably invite Qin Luan to come out.

Otherwise, for a moment, he didn't know what excuse to throw a note into the western wall.

"There is an urgent matter," Lin Fan stabilized his mind, relayed the emperor's arrangement, and then said, "It seems that the demon path was returned to Deng Guoshi, but if it is arranged, it may not be a good move." ”

After listening carefully, Qin Luan understood what Lin Fan meant.

She asked: "Grandpa Guo is looking for me, is there a way for me to let that demon Dao be a pawn?" ”

Lin Fan's head bowed: "That's exactly what it means." ”

Without answering immediately, Qin Luan pondered for a while and asked, "My grandfather scolded Deng Guoshi for being a villain, and Grandpa Guo was also very dissatisfied with this person, what is his origin?" ”

When it came to the origin of Deng Guoshi, Lin Fan's expression froze.

After sorting out his thoughts, he said: "The world believes in Taoism, but after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no position as a national teacher.

In the beginning, there were only a few Taoist masters in the court, who were in charge of the astronomical calendar.

Deng Guoshi was the Si Tianjian who joined after the emperor ascended the throne, and I heard that he was no different from other Taoist masters at the beginning, and it was not until almost ten years ago that he often went to the emperor to reply.

Five years ago, the emperor named him a national teacher.

I once heard people say that he was born in the Taishan Xuanyi Sect. ”

Qin Luan's brows couldn't help frowning.

Lin Fan looked at it in his eyes and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Mount Tai is in the same vein, there are many sects, and our Tianyi view is also among them, but the Xuanyi Sect has been no one for nearly a hundred years," Qin Luan shook his head, "Besides, Xuanyi cultivates the way of the unity of heaven and man, likes purity, the Lord himself, and never likes to take care of mundane affairs, let alone be a national teacher and dictate the affairs of the court." ”

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.

Qin Luan thought for a while, and then said: "Taoists value teachers, Deng Guoshi has great ambitions, and it is normal for people to have a gold-plated body. ”

Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Such a loss came out of Qin Luan's mouth, which was quite meaningful.

While laughing, he said, "That's true." ”

Qin Luan actually only said half of it.

The other half is even more lossy.

It is said that as big as the heart is, there is as much courage as it is.

They all recognize the teacher indiscriminately, Deng Guoshi is thick-skinned, wouldn't it be more glorious to recognize Lu Zu's lineage?

He didn't admit it, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare.

His abilities are not enough.

Doing too many bad things has damaged Lu Zu's reputation, and Lu Zu's descendants will not tolerate him, and will definitely come out to expose his false identity.

That is to say, there is no one in the Xuanyi Sect, and he can't control this fake disciple who talks to himself and joins the master.

This is a good thing for Qin Luan.

If Deng Guoshi's Taoism is extremely high, she will have a headache to deal with.

"Then why can he be favored by the emperor?" Qin Luan asked, "It is said that the emperor is sage, why does the emperor favor Deng Guoshi?" ”

This question made Lin Fandu silent for a while.

Emperor Qingyuan, the emperor, judging from the twenty years since he ascended the throne, he is definitely not a faint monarch.

Even, he can be regarded as a Ming Jun.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was built in the troubled times, and the country was scorched.

During the reign of the first emperor, efforts were made to expand the territory and restore the people's livelihood, so that the people who had suffered from years of war would no longer be displaced.

But the first emperor only reigned for five years before he died.

Emperor Qingyuan ascended to the throne.

Twenty years is not short, and it is not long.

He had the heart to regain the lost territory, and after several failures, especially after Lin Xuan's death, the imperial court focused more on internal affairs.

The foreign enemy actively responded to the attack, but once the enemy retreated, he never pushed a step outward.

On the other hand, there is a boom in internal affairs.

Especially in the Gyeonggi area, the people are stable.

In Xiliang, Nanshu and other places, many people also came to invest in Dazhou, looking forward to ushering in a new life.

The emperor, who can make such political achievements, can fully deserve the word "Shengming".

This point, whether it is Lin Fan or other ministers of the DPRK and China, all agree.

"Some people say that the emperor was deceived by Deng Guoshi, no one is perfect, and no matter how holy the king is, he will be confused by the villain's slander," Lin Fan paused, originally wanted to consider the words, and thought that the person in front of him was Qin Luan, who knew the secret of his birth, so he said directly, "I don't think so, I always feel that the emperor knows very well what Deng Guoshi has done in the court, and he not only doesn't care, but also looks at it coldly." ”

Qin Luan pursed his lips.

Lin Fan's statement reminded her of a person - Zhongyibo.

Mrs. Zhongyibo said everything in the house, conniving at the grandmother around her, making Aunt Wan sandwiched between her mother and wife and daughter, and making Ah Miao afraid of her grandmother.

Zhongyibo is not unaware of these actions, he knows it very well.

At the same time, he acquiesced, he let it go.

But is this laissez-faire because he is afraid of guilt?

No.

Because Mrs. Bo pressed the word "filial piety" on the younger generation, and Zhongyi Bo is the beneficiary of "filial piety".

There is Mrs. Bo in front of the big move, as long as the loyal and righteous Uncle quietly watchs, he can sit back and enjoy his success, how can he care if Mrs. Bo is too strong and the servant woman is too presumptuous?

Uncle Zhongyi also wants a grandson, and he has the same goals as Mrs. Bo.

If Mrs. Bo wins, he wins.

How could he refute Mrs. Bo's face?

The only thing that caught Zhongyi off guard was that Mrs. Bo used poison and was caught by Qin Luan.

Once Lin Fan was stabbed in front of the emperor, Zhongyibo's own interests would be damaged, so he did not hesitate to cut the table with Mrs. Bo.

It's not that he distinguishes between right and wrong, and kills relatives in righteousness, but from beginning to end, he is selfish and self-interested.

So, what about the emperor?

"Grandpa Guo means," Qin Luan glanced at Lin Fan deeply, and said very directly, "Deng Guoshi promoted the people the emperor wanted to promote, Deng Guoshi suppressed the people the emperor wanted to suppress, Deng Guoshi protected the emperor's interests, and he speculated on the emperor's intentions to do things, so the emperor connived at him." ”

Lin Fanmei frowned.

Even if he was stared at by Qin Luan like this, he didn't have a sense of charm at this moment.

This topic is indeed too heavy.

At the moment, I can't take care of the hearts of those children at all.

Qin Luan's words were more to the point than before, and they were more difficult for a courtier to accept.

"I'm just it, Yuan and the emperor can't have the same heart," Lin Fan smiled bitterly, "But when these words are heard by Mrs. Xu and the other elders, their hearts will drip blood." ”

Compared with the emperor's tricks of power, it was still deceived by the villain for a while, which made the bosses more comfortable.

Or, the bosses may not be completely unaware, but they have no choice but to pick a reason that they can accept.

"Self-deception is also human nature." Qin Luan said.

Lin Fan laughed at her again, and shook his head helplessly.

Human nature is all about to be said to be "derogatory" by Qin Luan.

"If you extrapolate from this," Lin Fan said, "If you want the emperor to no longer favor Deng Guoshi, the only time is when the interests of the two are not aligned." ”
