Wang Shouren is a very wise person. When it's time to be ruthless, it's more ruthless than anyone else.

If he hadn't been ruthless, he wouldn't have been able to bring a group of stragglers to quell the 100,000-strong rebellion of the vassal kings in the future.

Chang Feng came to the gate of the palace: "Brother Shouren." ”

Wang Shouren got straight to the point: "Brother Chang, they want you to be ruined this time. You're in a Jedi. ”

Chang Feng said: "Qian Ning said that you came to give me a way to escape." Say, what should I do? ”

Wang Shouren said: "I have two methods. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Which two methods?" ”

Wang Shouren asked rhetorically: "What is the best way to defeat a deep-rooted net?" ”

Chang Feng was stunned: "The best way is to join them." Disintegrate them from within. I said."

Wang Shouren said: "It has been a full eighteen years since the prosperity of Hongzhi. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has made great efforts to govern the country, love the people, and pay attention to the people's livelihood. The national strength of the Ming Dynasty is thriving. Although the people did not have enough food and clothing, at least there was little famine. ”

"Throughout the history books, the era of starvation and death can be called a prosperous era."

"But under the prosperous times, hidden dangers are accumulating more and more. Peace is profitable, and most of the benefits do not fall into the hands of the people. ”

"The gentry and civil officials of the world have formed an iron plate. One loss and one loss, one glory and one glory, and seek benefits. Today, the emperor is benevolent and generous, and the power of civil officials is growing day by day. ”

"Up to now, the imperial power and the vassal power are in charge of the world."

"The so-called co-rule of the monarch and the minister, it has become a courtier to suppress the emperor. The emperor was weak, and they were even more unscrupulous, rampant and lawless, amassing money. ”

"Land annexation, smuggling trade, competing with the people for profit. These filthy things fatten them. ”

"Since ancient times, money can be spiritual. One hand has power, the other hand has money. Their power is even greater. ”

"As of today, the power of civil officials has become so great that even the current saints cannot be contained."

"Brother Chang alone, he can't smash this iron plate from the outside."

"The best way to deal with them is to join them. Disintegrate it from within. The odds are slim to none, but at least! ”

Chang Feng was silent.

Wang Shouren continued: "Actually, Brother Chang does not have a deep hatred with the Chinese official of the DPRK. On the contrary, you have been kind to those people. ”

"The reason why you fell out was nothing more than the maritime case two years ago. and the recent East Palace penalty turmoil. ”

"In that turmoil, you protected your subordinate Channing. caused the Chinese official to tear his face apart."

Chang Feng said: "What do you mean, let me bow my head to the civil officials and admit defeat." Take Channing's head as a vote and join their forces. Become a civil official's minions, eagle dogs, dog legs? ”

"I can't do this kind of betrayal of friends for glory, low-mindedness."

Although Chang Feng came from a humble background, he had an arrogance that he did not want to bow his head.

Since the success of the reserve 18 years ago, Chang Feng's life trajectory has rarely had major setbacks.

If a person is too smooth, and he has been obedient for 20 years, he will naturally have a sense of arrogance.

There is nothing in the world that I can't do, so why should I bow to others?

Chang Feng said: "Brother Shouren, you can talk about the second method. ”

Wang Shouren said: "The second method is four words: 'The fish dies and the net is broken'. The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death. It's the same with taxis. ”

"Although the emperor decreed that he burned the secret files of the hundred officials of the Jinyi Guard. But you have been in charge of Jinyi for more than ten years. There are always some fatal things in your hands. ”

"Since they want you to be ruined, they forced the emperor to kill your wife and concubine. You don't have to worry about what the situation is. ”

"The civil officials deceived the emperor to be lenient, controlled the authority, and acted lawlessly. No matter how bad the drama is, how bad can it be? ”

"Fight for your life, and the life of your whole family, and fight with those people. Maybe you can put it to death and come back to life. ”

Wang Shouren's words woke up the dreamer.

I always think about the overall situation, and for the stability of the situation, I have repeatedly chosen to make big things small and calm people.

But now they've pushed me to the brink! Why care about the big picture?

Wang Shouren is right, even if the situation changes, how bad can it be?

In the maritime case, Yan Paner's real account book is still in my house!

Aren't you going to kneel down in tandem and force the emperor to kill Xiao Yan and Xiao Jiu? Will you force the emperor to dismiss me from office and kill me severely?

All right! So I took out my books. That account book is more useful than the emperor's death-free paper coupons!

It's a big deal!

Chang Feng arched his hand: "Brother Shouren, the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused." You woke me up today! Thank you! ”

Wang Shouren said: "It's stupid under it." But who is the good guy and who is the bad guy is still clear below. ”

"Helping good people deal with bad people is the minimum conscience of being a human being. Why bother to say thank you. ”

After speaking, Wang Shouren left the gate of the palace.

Chang Feng suddenly felt that Wang Shouren's back looked like an irrelevant person. Wang Zhi.

Compared with Wang Zhi, who is full of scheming, Wang Shouren has no shortcomings of greed for money and power. Almost a perfect strategist.

Chang Feng is ready to go home.

Although Emperor Hongzhi said in the early dynasty that he would "temporarily detain Changfeng in the palace". But the Han generals who guarded the palace were all old subordinates of Chang Feng. No one stopped him, and he could come and go freely.

After Chang Feng returned home, he called two people, brother-in-law Huang Yuan and old brother Xu Fatzi.

These two people are one of the few people he can fully trust.

Chang Feng went to the kitchen first. There is a hidden compartment on the east wall of the kitchen. opened the secret compartment, and inside was the account book he stole from Yan Pan'er when he was handling a maritime case.

Then he took the account book and went to the study. Huang Yuan and Xu Fatzi were already waiting there.

Chang Feng said: "Huang Yuan, you're good at 'disease books'. Tonight, I'm going to ask you to copy a book of accounts. Two volumes were transcribed. ”

"I made it clear in advance that this account book could save the lives of your two sisters-in-law. But there are a bunch of hidden things about the powerful. ”

"If you look. You will become a secret man, a threat in the eyes of the powerful. ”

Huang Yuan was a little anxious: "Brother-in-law, when is this!" As long as I can save my sister-in-law and sister-in-law, I dare to do anything! ”

Chang Feng said: "Okay! You immediately transcribe it. ”

Chang Feng planned to copy one account book into three. He took one of his own and threatened Xie Qian.

Xu Fatzi and Huang Yuan each kept a copy.

Xu Fatzi is the Duke of Dingguo, the top nobleman of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Yuan is the guest of honor of the county lord and a relative of the emperor. No matter how powerful the civil officials are, they cannot be easily moved.

Sharing the secret with them is Chang Feng leaving a back road for himself - the back road for the fish to die and the net to break.

If I Chang Feng dies in the hands of the civil official group, Xu Fatzi and Huang Yuan can make the account books public. Come on, let's be ruined together!

Huang Yuan likes "disease books". The speed at which the books were transcribed was fast.

Two hours later, the two thick transcripts of the books were completed.

Chang Feng solemnly handed over the transcript to Xu Fatzi and Huang Yuan.

Chang Feng said: "If I can't get out this time." Make your books public. What civil officials, eunuchs, clansmen, nobles. I'll let them be buried together! ”

Xu Fatzi nodded: "People are hanging to the sky." Since they won't let you live, let's pull people from several factions to play together! ”

Huang Yuan said: "My brother-in-law has saved face for these people in the past few years, these people don't know it!" Since you want to tear your face, you have to tear it up! ”

Chang Feng picked up the account book that belonged to him: "You guys go back first." I'm going to meet Elder Xie Ge. ”

Xie Qian's Mansion.

Although it was the second half of the night, Xie Qian didn't sleep.

He was excited. In the middle of the night, he convened more than a dozen civil service leaders to discuss the matter.

Tomorrow morning, more than a dozen civil leaders will lead more than 200 civil officials to kneel down and admonish Emperor Hongzhi, kill Liu Xiaoyan and Gani Zhaozhao, and severely punish Chang Feng.

The only threat to the civilian clique today is the factory guards. In addition to the regular wind, the factory guard will not have to worry about it in the future.

At that time, the civilian-bureaucratic clique will no longer have any scruples and cross the river with crabs in the court - sideways.

The emperor is dying. If the young prince ascends the throne, then wouldn't I Xie Qian be "not a photograph"?

Xie Qian didn't know that more than 70 years later, there was a famous minister who also thought the same way: I am not a photograph.

No matter how much the famous minister turned the tide of the Ming Dynasty and how much merit he established. After his death, he still ended up in ruin, and his family was starved to death.

At this moment, the servant said: "Master, the Changfeng of the Jinyi Guard asks to see you." ”

Xie Qian smiled slightly: "It's time to bow your head and admit defeat!" Let him in! ”

Xie Qian thought that Chang Feng was here to admit defeat. He had made up his mind, no matter how much Chang Feng wept bitterly and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. He won't let him go.

The court wrestling is like this, and it is the most taboo to let the tiger return to the mountain. Beating the water dogs and beating them to death is the right way.

But Xie Qian did not refuse to see the usual wind. He wants to be a victor and enjoy his opponent's plea for mercy.

After a while, Chang Feng entered Xie Qian's study with the account book.

Xie Qian originally predicted that as soon as Chang Feng entered the study, he would be busy kneeling and kowtowing, shouting "Ge Lao spare his life".

But Chang Feng stood straight like a jade pillar. The expression on his face was extremely cold, and it seemed that a cold knife could shoot out of his eyes.

Xie Qian said: "Why did you come to me so late?" If you plead, please leave. ”

"You are gracious to me. But as a member of the Cabinet, I will not give up my personal interests for the sake of gratitude. ”

Chang Feng has made a name for himself and read the books of sages. Although he was the leader of the emperor's army, he spoke very elegantly: "Xie Qian, I blanch your mother!" ”

Xie Qian was dumbfounded, and after a while, his hands trembled with anger: "Chang Feng, you dare to speak disrespectfully to me?" What is the difference between such foul language and the ruffian in the market and scolding the street shrew? ”

"Don't forget, you're here to beg me tonight!"

Chang Feng shouted softly again: "Xie Qian, I'll blanch your mother!" ”

Xie Qian said angrily: "Chang Feng, you don't want to die, do you?" Well, we'll see you tomorrow morning! Send."

Xie Qian wanted to shout to send off the guest, but the word "guest" was still spoken. Chang Feng interrupted him: "I'm not here tonight to ask you. Instead, come and receive your prayers! ”

Xie Qian laughed: "Chang Feng, are you crazy?" You are dead. Let me, the victor, pray to you? ”

The wind is silent. only put the account book in front of Xie Qian: "Open your ungrateful dog eyes and see what this is." ”

Xie Qian flipped through the account book, and suddenly his eyes widened like copper bells: "This is?" ”

Chang Feng said: "This is the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, the real account book of the Shuangmu Society." The one I burned after showing it to you was a fake. ”

Xie Qian hurriedly turned to the last page, and he saw the total number of dividends, which was "three million taels".

Xie Qian said angrily: "Chang Feng, you swallowed us one and a half million taels of silver? ”

Chang Feng nodded slightly: "That's right!" The 1.5 million taels of silver I gave to Liu Futai in Fujian to be used as military expenses to resist the Japanese. ”

Xie Qian closed the account book: "What do you mean?" ”

Chang Feng said: "What I mean is very simple. Tomorrow morning, I will make the books public. ”

Xie Qian smiled: "Public? It's not just me and a bunch of powerful civil servants. There is also the governor of your factory guard, Qian Neng, and two uncles, and even your father-in-law! ”

"I don't believe you have the guts."

Chang Feng smiled dumbly: "I don't have the guts? Xie Qian, I'll blanch your mother! My two wives and I are now the living dead. ”

"I'm a selfish man. If there is impermanence in the human world, then there is no need for the human world to exist. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a friend or an enemy. Let's bury me together! ”

Xie Qian looked at Chang Feng with suspicious eyes: "You are just an enemy of civil officials at the moment. If you make this book public, you will be the enemy of the whole court. ”

Chang Feng laughed again: "Poof." Xie Qian, you're in the, right? Man has only one life, and he can only die once. ”

"How can a man who is certain to die be afraid of making enemies on all sides?"

"There is a folk saying that those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. I came from a humble background, and I had a cheap life. Being able to enjoy nearly 20 years of glory and wealth is already earned! ”

"If I can bring you powerful people to my funeral before I die. I earn more! ”

"What Liu Jian, Xie Qian; Xiao Jing, Qian Neng; ZHANG Heling, WANG Zhi. What friends, enemies. Let's have a good time together! ”

Chang Feng's words, translated in the vernacular of later generations, are "Tired, destroy!" ”

Xie Qian saw the courage to die together from Chang Feng's eyes.

The most terrible people in this world are those who are not afraid of death.

Chang Feng scolded again: "Xie Qian, I'll blanch your mother!" I was blind at the beginning, and I shouldn't have helped you enter the cabinet! ”

"You have benefited the people as a cabinet member all these years, and this has nothing to do with me."

"You're going to kill my whole family today. I'll pull you on your back! ”

Once people become selfish, many dead knots can be easily solved.

Tonight's common wind is not why the world is alive. Just for yourself!

Xie Qian said coldly: "Do you think I will let you go out of the door of the old mansion with the account book?" ”

Chang Feng couldn't stop laughing.

Xie Qian asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Chang Feng smiled: "Hahaha, I laugh at you, a rotten Confucian classman, who has an axe, and Guan Gong plays with a big knife in front of him!" ”

"Assassination is my business! You're a ball! ”

"I don't know if you dare to kill me. Besides, what if you kill me? ”

"I'll tell you, I copied eight copies of this book. Handed over to eight people you can't kill! ”

"I'm dead, and those eight people will still make the account books public!"

Chang Feng is scaring Xie Qian. deliberately said that Xu Fatzi and Huang Yuan were eight people.

Xie Qian: "You, you"

Chang Feng burst into a shout: "I'll blanch your mother." What are you doing? Playing conspiracy tricks with the butcher of Jinyiwei, you are still tender! ”

"When I protected the prince, eliminated the traitor, and destroyed the eunuch, you were still a bookworm in the Hanlin Academy."

"In recent years, I have been concerned about the stability of the DPRK situation. I've been holding back to you again and again. Now that you want my life, I'll let the whole court bury me!" ”

Xie Qian was silent for a long time, weighing the pros and cons.

In the end, a man with a certain heart for death is better than a man who intends to stay in power for a long time.

Xie Qian finally spoke: "Chang Feng, put forward conditions!" ”

Chang Feng shook his head: "No hurry." You kneel down for me first and kowtow three times! I helped you wash away your grievances at the beginning, and I am your benefactor. ”

"It is only right to kowtow to a benefactor."

Xie Qian said angrily: "Chang Feng, you have to spare people and spare people!" ”

Chang Feng snorted again: "Xie Qian, do you still know how to be forgiving and forgiving?" ”

Chang Feng sat on the chair and let out a long-suppressed roar: "Kneel down and kowtow!" ”

"Don't kowtow? Say. I am willing to die with all the kings and fish and die together! ”

(Note: For a "big river" with a length of 2 million words and a timeline of 60 years.) The protagonist cannot have smooth sailing all his life, without suffering any setbacks and not experiencing any failures. The author has only suppressed the "40,000 words" for two years. For example, how many years did Xu Jie endure to defeat Yan Song in real history? Also, don't keep commenting on how this book is running out. Even if the subscription of this book is zero, it will have to be written until 2 million words are completed. The reason is inconvenient to say for the time being. ）
