"Alas, my father is a man who has the ability and brains, such a person is very confident, he is not afraid that the princes are ambitious, but he is afraid that the princes are incapable.

In his opinion, those who want to be emperors in the future must have brains and be ruthless enough.

It's a pity, this time the prince messed up, and his father was very disappointed in him, so he stepped down from him and beat him.

In the next period of time, the prince had to perform vigorously. ”

Wang Fugui smiled dismissively,

"Oh, you idiot."

"Because of self-confidence, I am not afraid of the princes rebelling."

Han Yun didn't laugh, but said,

"But is the prince really so stupid? Knowing that there are countless masters in the palace, and knowing that there is a second-rank called shadow around the emperor, he even invited only a third-rank to come over and assassinate him, knowing that he can't do it, what is he trying to do? Impatient to live? ”

Wang Fugui waved his hand and smiled,

"Han Yun, don't think too smart about everyone, under the strong lust and temptation of profit, everyone will turn into gamblers and take risks to gamble on that one percent chance of winning.

The prince is a shrewd fool on the surface, I have never regarded him as my opponent, my real opponent is the man who sits on the dragon chair. ”

"You're going to take the heir too?"

Chai Yuan, who had been silent next to him, suddenly asked.

Wang Fugui was startled, and hurriedly said,

"Yikes! Forget there's another person here, Han Yun, kill it, he's heard too much. ”

After speaking, Wang Fugui himself laughed.

Chai Yuan glanced at him angrily, then his face turned pale, and he sighed,

"No matter what your royal intentions are, but the crown prince killed the king and killed his father, he was disloyal and unfilial, and heaven is intolerable, if a person like him becomes an emperor in the future, will the people still have a good life?"

"Under the prosperous world, inaction is a Ming Jun."

Wang Fugui retorted,

"The people are very tenacious and have a strong ability to adapt, as long as there is no faint king tossing and turning, and the country is functioning normally, their own lives will gradually get better."

Han Yun retorted again,

"Really? Corrupt officials are rampant, land annexation is serious, and inaction will only lead to more people losing their land and being displaced.

It is good that there are no natural disasters, but once there is a natural disaster, the land is in the hands of the landlords, eunuchs and the army, and the people can only sell their sons and daughters just to survive.

When it becomes a luxury for them to even live, it is time to rise up.

At any time, inaction is not right, the emperor does not care about anything, and the inflated greed of officials and landlords is enough to ruin the country. ”

"What Han Hall Lord said is reasonable."

Wang Fugui gave him a thumbs up, then turned his head to look at Chai Yuan,

"Brother Chai, I know that you are a talented and ambitious good official, never corrupt and take bribes, you just want to ask for the people's lives and benefit the world, and you have a belly of talent and learning, which is impossible to show.

Do you remember that half a year ago, when this guy was still Qingyu, we were also sitting in this carriage, and he said something to you? ”

Chai Yuan looked up at Han Yun, and after thinking for a moment, he said,

"Han Shi said at that time, I want to reform, what I lack is not subordinates and opportunities, nor skills and ability, but an emperor who supports me unconditionally."

Han Yun nodded,

"Yes, if you want to reform, you must become the target of public criticism, that is, the culprit who is wanted by countless people!

Under the framework of the existing system, nobles, civil officials, military generals, landlords, and magistrates, these people are all vested interests, and if you want the people to live well, you have to let the people get more benefits, so it is inevitable to reduce the interests of those with vested interests.

If you touch their cake, they'll have to fight with you.

There are many people in history who want to reform, but they all fail, are they all emperors who don't know that they have been in trouble? Don't you know that the country is already riddled with holes and moths?

But those emperors lacked courage, and they feared that they would be attacked by a crowd, and under the daily impeachment and accusations of those whose interests had been damaged, they were shaken and suspicious of the reformers.

In the end, none of those who want to reform will end well. ”

Hearing this, Chai Yuan took a deep breath, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes,

"If I become the first assistant in the future, even if I am broken bones, I will sweep away the scabies, eliminate stubborn diseases, and return the Dachuan court to a bright future."

"And what if you die and you can't do it?"

Wang Fugui sneered,

"Think about it, the current first assistant is Wang Anqing, but there are a total of seven people in the cabinet, you have just entered the cabinet, and there are six people in front of you.

Even if you are Master Chai, who has smooth sailing and a stable career, and has survived one predecessor after another, then when you become the first assistant, you are afraid that you will be sixty or seventy years old.

At that time, do you, Lord Chai, still have the ambitions you have now?

Besides, now no one knows that you, Lord Chai, are close to me, and who doesn't know that you and I are friends.

You and I naturally understand in our hearts that we are just personal friends, there is no party and personal interest in government affairs, there is no common advance and retreat, and you and I are innocent.

But do others think so? In the eyes of the prince, I'm afraid you have already been labeled as the Sixth Master Party.

When the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, do you think he can still reuse you? At that time, you will definitely be suppressed, excluded, and even sent to a local area, going to a bitter cold place such as Yunchuan, Shuchuan, and Xuechuan, far away from the capital.

This is still a good result, in all dynasties, after the prince ascended the throne, he treated political enemies, which one was not to raid the family and exterminate the clan?

You Lord Chai is a master, he can't catch you, you can also wander the rivers and lakes, but what about your ambitions? ”

"Moreover, the prince's personality and ability, you have also seen it, is he really the Ming Jun in your heart? Will he support your reforms? Will it stand up to all the pressure to support you? ”

Hearing this, Chai Yuan's face was gloomy, and he kept thinking about how likely it was for the prince to display his ambitions after he ascended the throne.

The answer is, almost zero.

Suddenly, Chai Yuan smiled and looked up at Wang Fugui,

"Having said so much, don't you just want to pull me into your camp to scold, and if you win me over, I will be able to bring you a large part of the Donglin Party, and your camp will be even stronger.

I understand the truth, take the heir, the party fights, stand on the right team, glory and wealth, stand on the wrong team, raid the family and exterminate the clan, when the emperor and the prince seize the throne, no minister can be alone.

Sooner or later, I'll be on the side too.

However, how can you think that you can withstand the pressure of countless civil and military generals and countless noble landlords after the reform? ”

Chai Yuan looked at Wang Fugui with a cold look in his eyes.

"I can't stand it."

Wang Fugui smiled brightly, raised his hand and pointed at Han Yun,

"But he can, he will stand at the door of the court alone, who dares to move!"

Some people died, but not completely......
