Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, looking at Lao Dao, Lao Dao's face was full of sadness, with his younger brother's worship of his eldest brother.

"Later, when the confrontation between my eldest brother and the Yan Party was at its most intense, Lu Bing once found my eldest brother and asked him to resign and return to his hometown.

Thinking about it later, this was Lu Bing's last warning. My eldest brother had let him go once, and he wanted to let my eldest brother go once.

But at that time, Zeng Mill had already made great efforts, and the imperial court had been preparing for the recovery of the Hetao for two years. And the Yan Party has always opposed the recovery of the Hetao, relying on my eldest brother to support it.

If he suddenly resigned at this time, Zeng Milling would be difficult to support alone, not only would he give up halfway in recovering the Hetao, but I am afraid that no one would dare to mention the battle with the Mongols again.

So my eldest brother wanted to hold out for a while longer, and when Zeng Milling sent troops and recovered the Hetao, he would immediately resign and stay away from danger.

It's a pity that Lu Bing thinks that he has done his duty. He was worried that my eldest brother would use his and Yan Song's corruption tricks to break the net with them.

The Yan Party has also been uniting with Lu Bing, and Lu Bing finally formed an alliance with the Yan Party and told Banzai the news he had obtained.

From that moment on, my eldest brother was finished, and Zeng Milling also became a funeral object. was buried together, as well as the Hetao area, as well as the last bloody nature of the Ming Dynasty to the Mongols. ”

Xiao Feng was silent for a long time before he slowly asked, "The Xia family had a man at the time, why did Xia Yan only let you take Xiaodong away?" ”

Lao Dao smiled bitterly: "I also asked this question, and my eldest brother told me that you should not be too greedy, and those who want to win all are easy to lose."

At that time, there were no boys in the Xia Mansion who were too young, not to mention the dignified head of the auxiliary family, if the man was abducted, how could he not do it?

At that time, the government will search the net, and even I will be implicated, and then I will really be cut down and eradicated.

But a little girl is very different. Xia Fu reported to an official, although the government will also look for it, but the degree of effort is not the same.

The most important thing is that if a little girl is lost, whether it is the emperor or the Yan Party, they will not care too much, and they will not think about anything.

The eldest brother said that the boy was born in Xia Mansion, and his family tree is famous, and it is also fate to live and die with the Xia family. Can Xiao Dong ...... She didn't deserve to die like this.

It turns out that the eldest brother's judgment is very accurate, after the eldest brother was martyred, Yan Dang did not let go of any male in the Xia Mansion, and even those who were fostered in a relative's house were assassinated.

They are worried that when the boy grows up, he will gain fame, practice martial arts hard, and finally seek revenge on them. For girls, there is no such worry. ”

Xiao Feng said indifferently: "So that time Xiao Dong went outside the city to intercept and kill Yan Song, in fact, you deliberately let her be drugged so that she could take revenge."

I was a little suspicious, with your alertness in walking the rivers and lakes for many years, how could you be easily drugged by Xiaodong, but I didn't know the inside story at the time, and I just thought it was your old horse that stumbled. ”

Lao Dao nodded: "She is the Xia family, and she is qualified to avenge her family." I was going to wait for her to get her hands on it, and then I would come forward to take her revenge.

I was almost killed by the Yan family in the edict prison, one report after another, kill Yan Song, I will resist the fate, no one will suspect it.

Unexpectedly, you thought farther than me, stopped Xiaodong, and gave Yan Song a good death. But thinking about the days he lived in the future, I think Xiao Dong will also be relieved. ”

Xiao Feng looked at Lao Dao: "Xiao Dong, does she know your identity?" Does you know you're her own uncle? ”

Lao Dao shook his head: "It's best for her not to know about this for the rest of her life." Not to mention that the Xia family is still a criminal at the moment, even if they are rehabilitated one day in the future, what will an uncle who is a thief have to show his face? ”

Xiao Feng stretched out his hand and pressed Lao Dao's wine glass, and in Lao Dao's surprised gaze, he opened his mouth lightly.

"From today onwards, you can't drink anymore. I know you're never drunk, but there's something wrong with everything. People who have too many secrets don't deserve to get drunk.

You remember, no matter when and where, no matter who asks you, you have to grit your teeth and not admit that you know about it, even if you torture it.

If you really can't stand it anymore, just take out the words I taught you and say it, and only admit that it is revenge, and don't say anything else.

You have to forget this past and your relationship with Xia Yan. From now on, don't do anything to try revenge.

Xia Yan will be rehabilitated after all. The father and son of the Yan family are dead, and those who are guilty of Yan Party officials will not be able to escape the law after all, and there will be fish that will slip through the net, and it will be a few days.

Your eldest brother understands that everything cannot be perfected, but you want to take revenge on all the strict party officials, which is a delusion in itself.

As for Lu Bing, you can't take revenge for this. Lu Bing is different from the Yan family, he has Jinyiwei in his hands, and his roots are in Banzai.

Moreover, Lu Bing is loyal to Long Live Live, since he was let go by Xia Yan once, he has become more and more cautious, and he has not committed a heinous crime like Yan Shifan.

You can make Lu Bing suffer a court cane, which is already commendable. If you want to bring down Lu Bing, with the little material in your hand, it is not enough at all.

What's more, the existence of Lu Bing now is more beneficial than disadvantageous to Daming. Your eldest brother has a spirit in the sky, and he may not be willing for you to ignore Daming and hit a stone with an egg. ”

Xiao Feng took the wine in front of Lao Dao, drank it himself, and then pushed the table and got up, blending into the night, leaving Lao Dao sitting at the table in a daze.

The children in the backyard got out of their evening classes, and the sound of giggling sounded, making this somewhat cool autumn night warm.

Lao Dao wiped his tears, straightened his clothes, strolled out of the house, and walked towards the backyard.

Lao Guan was giving the children a supper, two meat buns per person, and the children were eating with their mouths full of oil, but their mouths were shouting that they didn't have enough to eat.

The old crutch refused to increase, and while dodging the children's surrounding, he said: "If you eat too much at night, you will accumulate food!" ”

Lao Dao stood in the middle of the courtyard, and returned to that place in a trance, the same group of children, sucking his fingers, telling him that the dean would have steamed buns to eat when he came back.

"Lao Gui, add one to each of them, let them ...... Well fed ......"

Xu Fan moved, from the cell of Shuntianfu to the prison of the Criminal Department.

Don't underestimate this move, it means a lot of things. For example: Xu Fan began to officially serve his sentence.

In the cells of Shuntianfu, people who are generally temporarily detained awaiting trial, or sentenced to ten days and half a month, are not qualified to enter the prison at all.

The maximum sentence in the cells of Shuntianfu is generally half a year, and Xu Fan happened to be sentenced to half a year, so he stepped on the balance of the two cells.

But when Hai Rui was sentenced, he directly sentenced Xu Fan to the prison of the Criminal Department, but there was a lot of knowledge in the middle.

First of all, Xu Jie and Xu Fan both breathed a sigh of relief, and both expressed satisfaction, and did not even argue about the length of the sentence.

As far as Xu Fan is concerned, he would rather serve half a year in the prison of the Criminal Department than three months in the cell of Shuntian Mansion.

After that night, after being done by Xiao Feng as he wanted, Xu Fan had palpitations, for fear that he might be sold again.

If you redeem yourself once, you will need 100,000 taels of silver, which is fucking worse than a bandit kidnapping!

After all, the Criminal Department is under the control of Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng is Xu Jie's student, and he has a good relationship, so he will naturally take care of Xu Fan.

To tell the truth, Hai Rui made this judgment because he was frightened by Xiao Feng's deed of sale.

Although he was led by Xiao Feng to win a hearty victory, Hai Rui believes that it is better not to happen in the future.

Sending Xu Fan to the prison by himself is not only to protect Xu Fan from being done as he wants, but also to protect Xiao Feng from doing this kind of thing again, after all, it is not a good thing.

With Xu Fan's entry into the prison, the land refuge case in Songjiang Mansion came to an end, but the turmoil caused by it was far from subsided.

On the second day of Xu Fan's imprisonment, a fierce battle broke off in the court, and it was Hai Rui who provoked this turmoil.

Hai Jui wrote a notebook, starting from Xu Fan's case, and explained in simple terms the problems caused by the gentry and their families not paying land taxes and not accepting forced labor.

He suggested that the scope of the gentry's non-payment of land taxes should be narrowed and that the policy should be strictly enforced. Servants and non-immediate family members of the gentry were not exempt from land taxes and servitude.

Hai Rui read aloud with emotion, but the more the ministers listened to these words, the more they felt that they didn't seem to be written by Hai Rui, but there was a taste of Xiao Feng's words in them.

So people look at each other, yes, Hai Jui should be a cover. Because Hai Rui had just finished trying the case, it was most appropriate for him to come forward.

Since this is Xiao Feng's meaning, there is no need to think about it, and the Xu Party officials will inevitably rush up and refute it.

What's more, even if he is not an official of the Xu Party, he is not happy about canceling the privileges of the scholars, after all, the ass decides the head.

Xu Jie did not speak this time because his son had made a mistake in this regard, and as a parent, he should have avoided the debate on this issue.

And Zhang Juzheng resonated with Hai Rui's memoranine, but he had doubts about the details, so he was not suitable to be a temporary leader.

In the end, in desperation, Gao had no choice but to stand up and temporarily serve as the leader of Xu's party to oppose Hai Rui's proposal.

"You can't blame everything in the world, just because of one case, you have to change the etiquette that has been passed down for thousands of years, it's too impulsive.

Lord Jiu Wenhai is also a person who attaches great importance to etiquette, why is he so radical today, could it be that someone is behind him? ”

Everyone looked at Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng smiled but did not speak. Hai Rui nodded: "It was someone who instructed it." ”

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Hai Rui to admit so happily: "As the head of the Integrity Yuan, you are willing to be instructed by others, isn't this a party?" ”

This accusation is very serious, although there are constant party battles in the court, but no one dares to blatantly admit that they have formed a party, so everyone stares at Hai Rui again to see if he will confess Xiao Feng.

Hai Rui shook his head and said: "It is my mother who instructed me, if my mother is also a party, then there are four people in this party, plus my mother and my mother." ”

Gao Gong's punch hit the soft cotton, almost flashing his waist, and he smiled awkwardly.

"I have heard for a long time that the old lady has a good character and attaches great importance to etiquette, why would she instruct Lord Hai to do this? Doesn't the old lady think that the decency of a scholar is not important? ”

Hai Jui said loudly: "It is precisely because the scholar wants decency, not money. The state exempts scholars from land tax and forced labor, and what they give is decency.

But now that the scope has expanded so much, let the scholars take advantage of the loopholes, that is, take the dignity given by the state and exchange it for gold and silver, but there is no dignity! ”

Gao Gong secretly wondered, and said that he had heard that Hai Rui was honest and honest before, but his ability to speak was very ordinary, why was he so powerful today?

"Lord Hai, the court's benevolence and support of scholars is a policy that has existed in all dynasties. There is no problem in all dynasties, why is there a problem in the Ming Dynasty? ”

Hai Rui was stunned and said: "There may not be no problems in all dynasties, but no one has raised it, otherwise why would they all be ruined?" ”

Gao Gong sneered: "Oh? According to the meaning of Lord Hai, if you don't agree with your recital today, the Ming Dynasty will die? ”

Hai Rui snorted: "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, and if you don't repair the loopholes when you see them, the loopholes will only get bigger and bigger, what's so strange about the death of the country?" ”

Jiajing's face is not very good-looking, the word "dead country", you said it in front of me, is it a bit too rude?

Gao Gong smiled secretly in his heart, this is Hai Rui's normal level, he really dares to say anything, Xiao Feng pushed him to the front, isn't he afraid of causing trouble?

"Lord Hai, according to you, the scholars of the great tomorrow today are taking advantage of the imperial court, right?"

Hai Rui said calmly: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." Hai asked himself if he had never taken advantage of the imperial court, but didn't Xu Fan? ”

Everyone looked at Xu Jie, Xu Jie's head was lowered, and he didn't say a word, just like Hai Rui was talking about others.

"Lord Hai, because someone takes advantage of the country, he has to sweep them all down with a stick, isn't this because he is choking and wasting food?"

Hai Rui was speechless for a while. That's the end of his drill with Xiao Feng, and when he talked about the death of the country just now, he had already exceeded the outline.

Say a few words to yourself, Xiao Feng will take over, why does Xiao Feng want to go up to the house and draw a ladder and hang me on the roof?

Xiao Feng sighed secretly, this time Xu Fan made Hai Rui smoke in Songjiang Mansion, it was not accidental. Hai Rui and Shen Lian are a bit similar, both have intentions and no skills.

Like Hai Rui, who relies on his enthusiasm and clean sleeves, but lacks wisdom, he will inevitably be regarded as a mascot in the end.

What's more, it will be used as an iron cutting knife, shattering the blade, and both will lose.

Hai Rui in history, if it weren't for Jiajing, he was still a bit measured, and it is estimated that he would have died before he got out of school.

In a place like the court, you need some eyes and wisdom to realize your ideals. So Xiao Feng wanted Hai Rui to exercise.

Now seeing that Gao Gong has put layers of traps on Hai Rui, Hai Rui has begun to be powerless, Xiao Feng decided to end this exercise and switch to on-site teaching.

"Tall man, it is not advisable to waste food because of choking. But if it's the same food, everyone will choke when they eat it, and it would be too stupid to eat it without changing the way? ”

Gao Gong's spirit was lifted, and his heart said that the Lord had finally come! He said loudly.

"There is no such stupid person in the world, Lord Xiao uses this metaphor as an analogy, so it is inevitable to use strong words."

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Lord Gao, since you talk about eating because of choking, may I ask, what do people eat?" ”

Gao Gong replied cautiously: "People feed on grains, supplemented by meat and vegetables, so why do you need to ask more?" ”

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "The five grains, 'rice, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean', among which northerners like to eat wheat, and southerners like to eat rice.

But before the Spring and Autumn Period, wheat was only something for livestock and slaves to eat, that is, ordinary people, who were not hungry and did not like to eat it.

Because the wheat at that time was directly steamed and eaten, not only was it not delicious, but it was also easy to choke people. It can be said that the food was abandoned because of choking.

It wasn't until the Spring and Autumn period that stone mills appeared, and people found that wheat could be ground into flour, and then the food made was much more delicious.

It can be seen that the ancients all knew that the things that have been passed down are not necessarily good things, and some methods should be improved. ”

Gao Gong shook his head and said, "What Lord Xiao said is certainly reasonable, but Enyang Shizi is not comparable to wheat. It is necessary to know that to govern the world is to govern people's hearts.

And people's hearts are led by readers. The people are ignorant, except those who listen to the court, they listen to the scholars. Therefore, nurturing scholars is the foundation of the stability of the imperial court. ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "I will translate Lord Gao's words, that is, if you don't give the reader benefits, the reader will say bad things about the court." Give them benefits, and they say good things, right? ”

Gao Gong nodded and said that it was no problem, although it was a little naked to say, but this was a naked reality.

"If people who read are so terrible, why should the imperial court encourage people to read? Wouldn't it be enough to simply reduce the opportunities for people to read?

There are fewer opportunities to read, and there are naturally fewer readers, whether it is control or support, it is much easier! Tall, do you think so? ”

Gao Gong was shocked, and his heart said it was a fart, I said that I wouldn't let people read? As soon as these words got out, I immediately became a sinner for the ages!

"Lord Xiao, this is clearly taken out of context! Everything is inferior, only reading is high, and the more people who read, the better! ”

Xiao Feng looked at Gao Gong in distress: "Master Gao, you made me dizzy." If you give benefits, you will say good things, and if you don't give benefits, you will scold the street.

Such people don't need to study, they are everywhere, right? Since people can do this without reading, why do they still study? ”

Gao Gong gritted his teeth for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "The official made a slip of the tongue just now." Scholars are knowledgeable and reasonable, and they will not be so mercenary. ”

Xiao Feng sighed: "Lord Gao is saying that a scholar knows how to be reasonable, whether he gives benefits or not, whether he is kind or not, he will not say bad things about the court."

In this case, the Hai people's recital can not only increase the income of the country, but also the scholars will not scold the street, why should the Gao people oppose it? ”

Gao Gong thought for a while: "People's hearts are back! Although the scholar will not scold in his mouth, he will be disappointed in the court in his heart. Those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world, don't they need to be vigilant? ”

Xiao Feng exclaimed: "I see, no wonder Xu Shoufu followed behind Yan Song to second, and now Master Gao is also following behind Xu Shoufu to second."

It turns out that the reader has one thing in his mouth and another in his heart, which is really scary. I'm also a scholar, so I have to study this kung fu hard. ”

Gao Gong was anxious, and secretly glanced at Xu Jie, who happened to be looking at him as well.

Since Xiao Feng "donated" 100,000 taels of silver for Xu Jie in the hall, Xu Jie's hostility towards Xiao Feng has decreased a lot. That's why he made up his mind not to speak today.

But Xiao Feng's reminder was still very right, he seconded Yan Song back then, thinking about bringing down Yan Song. Now Gao Gong seconded himself, and it is estimated that this is also the routine.

Readers, it's really a set of words, a set of hearts, which is not simple, and it is not safe!
