Chapter Seventy-Eight: Keeping Pan Shijian

Song Xingtian and Song Xinghai were all stunned, Song Li's words were indeed a bit ahead of their time in the hierarchical Holy Lion Empire. A holy emperor and a prince, they naturally don't have any sense of public servant, but the more they think about it, the more they feel that Song Li's words faintly contain another world of governance, and the four eyes of the brothers are staring at Song Li, with a thoughtful expression on their faces.

"Father, Uncle Holy Emperor, what's wrong with you? Did I say the wrong thing? I'm young, I'm shallow, sometimes I talk nonsense, what's rude, you adults have a lot, don't worry about me as a child. Song Li also realized that some of his words were still too advanced, and they might not be able to understand it for the time being, so he snorted and tried to fool the past.

"Your knowledge is not shallow, even the Holy Emperor's uncle was shocked by you," Song Xingtian looked at Song Li thoughtfully, and continued: "Regardless of whether the rest of your statements are right or wrong, at least there is something good, as a member of the Song royal family, protecting the people is our business! Sixth, I didn't misunderstand this little guy Song Li, like the people of our Song family! If the children of the Song family, everyone can be like Song Li with a mind and self-denial, then my holy lion will be immortal for thousands of years!"

Song Xinghai was also surprised by Song Li's words, it seemed that he still didn't know enough about his son. However, the look on his son's face when he just spoke made him feel very proud. Once upon a time, his son was still a pain in his heart, but in a blink of an eye, he had transformed himself into his pride.

Song Li touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Holy Emperor, you are embarrassed to praise me." ”

Song Xingtian laughed and said: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, you deserve it! Young people are not greedy for money, and they remember their duties and duties, which is indeed commendable." Song Li, since you don't want a reward, then Uncle Holy Emperor will fulfill one of your wishes, it is said that you and Pan Shijian's son are fighting, right?"

The Holy Emperor is naturally clear about the vindictiveness of the sons and nephews of the powerful, he was also young, and he was also a well-known role in the imperial capital at that time, often pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and going out to clean up those second ancestors who were not open-eyed. He was clear about the twists and turns in this. Song Li and Pan Shaofeng were vindictive, and both sides said ruthlessly, if anyone loses, they will have to slip away when they see each other in the future.

In this incident, Pan Shijian must be assigned, but the contradiction between Pan Shaofeng and Song Li must also be understood.

Song Li didn't take Pan Shaofeng in his eyes, what he wanted was Pan Shijian. Now Pan Shijian's bad luck is certain, if you clean up Pan Shaofeng by the way, it will also be a good result. Think of it as buy one get one free. The Holy Emperor also knew that Pan Shaofeng couldn't play Song Li, even if he didn't participate, Song Li could eat Pan Shaofeng to death. The reason why he wanted to do this was to send a signal to the rest of the powerful people in the imperial capital, and he admired Song Li very much, so he supported him in action. Song Li cleaned up Pan Shaofeng by himself and cleaned up Pan Shaofeng with the support of the Holy Emperor, these are two completely different things.

Song Li was keenly aware of the Holy Emperor's intentions, men, there is no one who does not love face. If the Holy Emperor came forward to support him, after Song Li rectified Pan Shaofeng, his prestige in the imperial capital would reach an unprecedented height.

If you don't accept it, there is a kind of you who are also ordered to slap people in the face?

"Uncle Holy Emperor, that's right, Pan Shaofeng's kid is too arrogant, he is rampaging in the middle of the city, and he is completely careless of human life, I don't like it, I just want to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he won't have a long memory in the future, and someone will be killed by him sooner or later. Song Li hit the snake and went on the pole, of course he would not refuse this kind of thing.

"Very good, Song Li, don't worry, Uncle Holy Emperor is supporting you. Pan Shaofeng, a bastard thing, really wants to teach a good lesson. Song Xingtian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "His golden carriage will also be rewarded to you." ”

"Uncle Holy Emperor, this is not very good. That golden carriage is so ostentatious, it is estimated that everyone in the imperial capital knows about it, and if I drive it, others may not know how to poke my backbone. Of course, Song Li wanted it in his heart, the golden carriage that was paralyzed was equivalent to the Ferrari of the Holy Lion Empire, and it was really good to drive out. There is no man who does not love cars. However, Song Li still has to excuse himself, otherwise the good image he created before will not be wasted.

"What kind of thing is Pan Shaofeng, he is also worthy of the golden carriage?" Song Xingtian sneered and continued: "You are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, so you are naturally worthy of it. Besides, this carriage was given to you by the Holy Emperor's uncle, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks?"

Song Li's heart blossomed, and he pretended to be very indifferent on the surface and said, "Thank you, Uncle Holy Emperor." But you can make an order to explain it, so that everyone thinks that the Ming Wangfu is forcibly seized. It doesn't have a good effect on my father. ”

Song Xingtian nodded and said with a smile: "You are thoughtful, this is no problem."

The atmosphere of the meeting between Song Li and his son and the Holy Emperor this time was very harmonious, and it was described in the words of Gao Neizhi, that is, "His Majesty the Holy Emperor laughed constantly from beginning to end, and his face was full of joy." After these words spread, Song Xinghai once again consolidated his position as the number one celebrity in front of the Holy Emperor, and his son Song Li also became famous because he was summoned by the Holy Emperor alone, causing envy and jealousy among the people in the imperial capital.

Not long after this conversation, Prince Zhong hurried into the palace to meet him, and the Holy Emperor had a little bit of a god's knowledge, and Prince Zhong had come to negotiate with him.

Pan Shijian found Prince Zhong and truthfully reported the ins and outs of the matter, so angry that Prince Zhong slapped the table on the spot, smashed the teacup, and pointed to Pan Shijian's head and reprimanded him for most of the hour. Prince Zhong didn't care how much harm Pan Shaofeng's actions would bring to the people, what he cared about was that His Majesty the Holy Emperor was eyeing them at present, and they chose to avoid their edge and hibernate temporarily, Pan Shaofeng jumped out to make trouble at this time, which undoubtedly disrupted Prince Zhong's overall plan and gave His Majesty the Holy Emperor a breakthrough. is the so-called fault of not raising a godfather, Pan Shaofeng is such a bastard, and Pan Shijian's father's doting and connivance are inseparable, so Prince Zhong scolded him unceremoniously.

The previous confrontation had just lost the two fierce generals of the cabinet, the first assistant and King Kang, and now they are facing the situation of losing the position of the imperial capital Yin. The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, and Prince Zhong had a premonition that a gap had begun to appear in his iron bucket-like power camp. And this gap is getting bigger and bigger.

What Pan Shijian did in the imperial capital, Prince Zhong naturally knew it. Since they have left the handle with Song Xinghai, with the all-pervasive investigation ability of the Inspectorate, they will definitely be able to clean the skin on Pan Shijian's body and expose him to his true form. After the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the governance of official corruption was quite large, and this time Pan Shijian hit the muzzle of the gun, and the Holy Emperor would definitely not let him go.

However, after such a long time had passed since the incident, there had been no movement from the Holy Emperor's side. In Prince Zhong's cognition, this is not in line with the Holy Emperor's resolute and resolute style of doing things. After a little thought, he understood what the Holy Emperor meant. People are not in a hurry to deal with Pan Shijian, this is to give him a hint, waiting for him to come to the door to ask for peace.

Putting aside Pan Shijian's economic problems, this person is still a fairly capable official. In the eyes of Prince Zhong, there are only two kinds of officials, one is capable of doing things, and the other is chaotic. Pan Shijian undoubtedly belongs to the former category. The Holy Emperor must have also seen this, and it is expected that Prince Dingzhong could not bear to abandon Pan Shijian. Now there are only two choices in front of Prince Zhong, one is to abandon Pan Shijian, and then compete with the Holy Emperor for the position of Emperor Mansion Yin above the court. This choice is very risky, and perhaps in the end, it is a loss of both people and position. Another choice is to give up the position of Yin in the imperial capital and keep Pan Shijian. As long as Prince Zhong does not fall, even if he is now assigned to the frontier or demoted, there will definitely be a chance to be reactivated in the future. Pan Shijian is a descendant of Prince Zhong himself, and of course he can't watch his descendant go to prison or go to the gallows.

Prince Zhong pragmatically chose the second path, keeping Pan Shijian and giving up the position of Yin in the imperial capital.

The Holy Emperor received Prince Zhong in the Xingqing Palace, and the two most powerful tycoons of the Holy Lion Empire talked in detail for an afternoon, and no one knew what they specifically said. However, the news brought back by Prince Zhong made Pan Shijian dumbfounded.

Pan Shijian was removed from the official position of the imperial capital Yin, the second rank was demoted to the fourth grade, and three days later he went to Qiongzhou County to take up his post as the county guard of Qiongzhou. The position of the Imperial Capital Mansion Yin was held by Xiang Ying, a former scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and when the Holy Emperor was still the crown prince, Xiang Ying was his companion, and he was definitely one of his most trusted henchmen. Xiang Ying was promoted from a university scholar to the imperial capital Yin who held real power, which was also a big step forward in his career. And the position of the supreme administrator of the imperial capital finally fell into the hands of the Holy Emperor. This is also the position he wants to regain day and night, and now his long-cherished wish has finally been granted. All of this is thanks to Song Xinghai and his son.

On the surface, the county guard of Qiongzhou is also regarded as the feudal official of the ruling party, and Pan Shijian's distribution is not too aggrieved, in fact, Qiongzhou County is the most barren and chaotic county of the Holy Lion Empire, bordering the kingdom of Rambis, due to the frequent small-scale military conflicts between the two countries, basically the war continues, and the previous county guard died under the strong crossbow of the Rambis army, so there was a vacancy.

A cold sweat broke out on Pan Shijian's back, and he secretly sighed that His Majesty the Holy Emperor was really well-intentioned, this was simply sending him to the wolf's den.

However, compared to going to prison or being executed, this is already a good result. Pan Shijian didn't feel any surprises. What really stunned him was because of another sentence brought back by Prince Zhong.
