Chapter 171: Conquer people with virtue

Xiao Fan quickly retreated to the gate of Wenhua Palace.

He retreated very quickly, like a general who was used to losing battles to escape, and was as familiar as he was to defeat a thousand miles away.

Escape is a survival skill, and a very important survival skill. If you can't learn it, you will be the one who will die.

——For example, now, Zhu Yunwen has an idea of ​​putting himself in danger of losing his life.

When he was an imperial envoy, he was ordered by the emperor to go to Peking to appease Zhu Di?

Xiao Fan was very surprised. How could that genius Zhu Yunwen think of himself in his head?

Don’t he know how big a bond he has formed with Zhu Di?

If you really go to Peking, you will probably be killed by the killer sent by Zhu Di halfway. It is too easy for the prince who is used to conspiracy and tricks. So what about the imperial envoy? People are preparing to rebel, and even don’t even take it seriously today, so how would they care about killing an imperial envoy?

In short, it is definitely a sinister idea to be an imperial envoy to pacify Zhu Di as an imperial envoy. If the person who made this suggestion was Huang Zicheng, Xiao Fan would definitely punch him all over the ground without hesitation, but the person who put forward this idea was Zhu Yunwen, who was always scheming...

It is wrong to beat the emperor. Forget it, forgive him and let me be no example!

Xiao Fan walked very quickly, afraid that Zhu Yunwen behind him would call him. He even considered whether to take a long vacation recently. Before Zhu Yunwen dispelled the idea of ​​letting him go to Peking, it would be better not to appear in his sight, so as not to awaken his sleeping memory...

On the other hand, now is also a good opportunity to retaliate against political enemies. Please ask Huang Zicheng to wander around Zhu Yunwen twice recently, or ask him to say nonsense in front of Zhu Yunwen, "Your lord is a boat, a people are water, water can carry boats, and you can also cook porridge..." Zhu Yunwen was upset with him and would definitely send him to Peking.

A good idea, it is the best way to kill someone with a knife.

Xiao Fan couldn't help but secretly be proud of his high IQ...

Under Xiao Fan's advocacy, Zhu Yunwen finally gave up Huang Zicheng's point of view and agreed with Xiao Fan's several suggestions.

This is a victory, but it is just a small victory.

Xiao Fan could see that Huang Zicheng's words had a deep influence on Zhu Yunwen. A large part of the reason why he gave up Huang Zicheng's point of view was that he valued friendship with himself and was unwilling to cause cracks in friendship because of this matter.

For Xiao Fan, it is a good thing to have such a friend who values ​​friendship.

For the entire Ming Dynasty, it was a pity to have such an emotional emperor.

Identity with emotions as a bargaining weight is something Xiao Fan did not want to see. Reducing the vassal state is a major national event and a major national policy that concerns the rise and fall of the entire Ming Dynasty. It is not a time when etiquette and politeness are taken. A wise mind, calm judgment, and decisive style are the qualities that an emperor should possess.

It is obvious that Zhu Yunwen lacks too much.

Of course, there is also a dead old man who harmed the Ming Dynasty - Huang Zicheng.

If this stubborn and pedantic old man did not disappear in the court, the Jianwen court would probably go back to the old path under his loyalty and harm. History would repeat again, and Xiao Fan, a time traveler, will also become the most incompetent and cowardly time traveler in history...

Xiao Fan suddenly wanted to have a good talk with Huang Zicheng.

This idea was inexplicable, and it flashed through his mind, and even he was shocked.

How do you talk about two political enemies who are incompatible with each other? What are you talking about? Are you standing and cursing?

But he had to talk. He still held the hope of being inadvertent, hoping that this stubborn old man could convince him, and hoped that he could agree with his own point of view, create less obstacles for himself, and gain more time to deal with the upcoming rebellion of the King of Yan.

When Xiao Fan walked out of the Chengtian Gate of the palace, his hands were already clenched into fists.

Let’s talk about it. I am a modern person. I know eight hundred years before and eight hundred years later. What’s the point of calculating an ancient idiot? Communication will make everything in the world better!

——What kind of advertising slogan is this?

No matter what advertisement, this sentence makes sense.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan ordered himself to smile. Although he hated Huang Zicheng so much that he hated him, Xiao Fan still had to face him with a smile. Smile was a language, without distinction between national boundaries, and was killed by all sizes, bringing peace and kindness to the world...

Practice, practice more smiling, start practicing now...

Walking through Jinshui Bridge, on the left is the Jinyiwei Fushiya and Xiao Fan's territory.

Xiao Fan stepped into the yamen with a reluctant smile. The lieutenant guarding the gate hurriedly greeted him. When he stood up, he saw the commander's conscient smile on his face. Everyone couldn't help but have a cold war. So they held their breath, raised their heads and chests, and even tried to fart.

——The commander’s smile today is so terrifying, which means that he is in a bad mood and those who don’t want to die are honest.

I happened to meet Cao Yi, now it is the time for the death of the late emperor. The task of the Jinyiwei is very heavy. In addition to arranging and replenishing people to fill the emperor's ceremonial guards, it is also to fully implement Xiao Fan's orders, and secret spies and scouts continuously plant and penetrate the north. Cao Yi has been so busy that he has not touched the ground recently that he often doesn't even have time to sleep or nap.

When Cao Yi saw Xiao Fan, he hurriedly bowed and bowed. When he was in the yamen, Cao Yi was still very polite.

Xiao Fan had a desperate smile on his face, and he was smiling even worse than crying. He was thinking about how to talk about the vassal of Huang Zicheng. The relationship between the two was so uneven, so he had to have a polite and harmonious opening remark, right?

Seeing Cao Yi bowing, Xiao Fan nodded absent-mindedly and then said, "Brother Cao, please order a few people and follow me to Huang Zicheng's mansion for a trip."

Cao Yi suddenly looked up when he heard this, and he was extremely puzzled. Brother Xiao and the man surnamed Huang have always had nothing to do. Why did he go to his house for nothing?

Then Cao Yi saw Xiao Fan's forced hypocritical smile.

This smile was immediately understood as a chilling sneer in Cao Yi's eyes.

Cao Yi immediately understood that Huang Zicheng must have touched Brother Xiao’s bad temper again!

Cao Yi was a guy who helped him not to help him. He sneered several times when he heard this, clasped his fists heavily at Xiao Fan, and said murderously: "Yes!"

Xiao Fan was thinking about something, but he didn't pay attention to Cao Yi's expression. He nodded absent-mindedly, then turned around and walked out of the yamen.

Cao Yi had a ferocious face, and immediately ordered more than a dozen confidant lieutenants. The group of people were wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords, following Xiao Fan, who was smiling with murderous aura, silent and solemn. Everyone's face was ashen. They walked through the streets and the city with heavy steps. The people were in panic and avoided them, as if they met a devil who entered the village, hurriedly hid food and their daughter.

Xiao Fan didn't notice this. He was worried about how to speak to Old Man Huang and what reason to use to convince him to give up his stupid strategy of reducing the vassals, so that he could understand that his self-righteous political views were actually shit, and they were shit...

A group of more than a dozen people came to Huang Zicheng's mansion at the entrance of Pearl Street in the west of the city with two completely different thoughts.

Xiao Fan stood far outside the Huang Mansion Gate, leaning slightly to the sky with his hands on his back. He was still in a state of thinking. The smile on his face was always hanging. After maintaining the already reluctant smile for a long time, it became stiffer and ugly.

Xiao Fan did not need to do such a small matter when knocking on the door and spreading it. Without any indication, a lieutenant walked to the gate of the Huang Mansion and smashed the side door.

Soon, the side door opened, and an old man in the gatekeeper stretched out his head and looked at the captain curiously.

The captain said fiercely: "What are you looking at! The Jinyiwei is doing the job!"

The old man in the gatehouse shivered in fear. He looked at the group of Jinyiwei outside the door with a fierce expression like a mold printed. The old man's face suddenly turned pale and he couldn't stop shaking. - What good things can be done if a group of Jinyiwei came to the door these days?

Without saying a word, the old man turned around and ran to the inner courtyard of the mansion. He probably went to report the message to Huang Zicheng.

The captain was not polite, kicked the side door open, then bowed to Xiao Fan and said, "Sir, please come in."

Only then did Xiao Fan finally come back to his senses from his state of thinking.

He looked around in a daze for a week and said in surprise: "Huh? Brother Cao, why have you called so many people?"

Then he looked at the side door opened by Huangfu Cave and said in surprise: "The door is actually open? Old Huang is so polite today? He doesn't hate me in the nude photo door anymore?"

Everyone: "…………”

She scratched her head in confusion, and Xiao Fan said, "Forget it, let's talk about it first..."

He walked a few steps, and just as he stepped into the side door, Xiao Fan suddenly remembered something again, immediately squeezed out an ugly smile on his face, then turned to the Jinyiwei and said to the Jinyiwei: "You all smile, be polite in being a human being! Don't let others say that our Jinyiwei is like a killing star, smile! Everyone smiles! Be victorious with others!"

Cao Yi tugged his lips and sneered: "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely 'conquer people with virtue'!"

Everyone heard the murderous aura in Cao Yi's tone, so they squeezed out a ferocious and ferocious smile, just like the little ghost in front of the Throne of Hell, smiling so grimly...

Xiao Fan frowned and looked around, wonderingly: "Your smile..."

"Sir, please come in."

"Oh... OK."

Everyone entered the Huang Mansion, and the front yard in the mansion was silent. Perhaps the servants of the Huang Mansion were so scared that they hid.

Xiao Fan looked around and saw that the front yard was silent and no one could see him. He couldn't help but feel contempt. Although he had a kind smile on his face, he muttered in a low voice: "Look, Lao Huang's house is big, but it doesn't have a trace of home smell. It's so quiet that it's like a ghost. No wonder this old guy is sarcastic in the court all day long. It turns out that there is something wrong with his family's feng shui..."

Everyone agreed and said, "That's right!"

Cao Yi stood behind Xiao Fan, raised his right hand and clenched his fist, and then suddenly opened his five fingers.

When the Jinyiwei saw this gesture, he immediately understood and more than a dozen people quickly spread out to search.

After a while, everyone rewarded him, and Huang Zicheng was nowhere to be seen in the front yard.

Xiao Fan was surprised: "What are you doing for someone else's house? It's so rude..."

At this time, under a peach tree on the left side of the front yard, a small yellow dog barked at everyone a few times.

Cao Yi was overjoyed when he saw this dog and sneered: "You can run away, the monk can't run away, the temple, the old Huang is not seen, isn't Xiao Huang still here?"

Without waiting for Xiao Fan to react, Cao Yi rushed forward with a quick step, picked up the little yellow dog with one hand, and asked viciously: "Boy! Where is your father?"

Xiao Fan was stunned: "…………”

"Brother Cao, I'll ask you, can we be more polite? Let's ask all the brothers to come back and do not act rashly without my orders! We are not here to search the house..." Xiao Fan said powerlessly.

Cao Yi focused his head, and another look of enlightenment flashed in his eyes. - Brother Xiao is planning to be polite first and then soldiers. It's not bad. A real man should be revenge. This is what it should be!

Xiao Fan naturally didn't know what Cao Yi misunderstood his meaning. Just as he was about to say a few more words, a large group of people suddenly came out of the front hall of Huang Mansion. Surrounded by the people under the Huang Mansion, Huang Zicheng was wearing a black Confucian shirt, his long beard, and his face was full of anger.

"I am here! Xiao Fan, you traitor, have led so many people to trespass the residence of the court minister. I ask you, are you here to get me? As long as you have the imperial edict to be your son today, I will surrender you, and there is no other way! If there is no imperial edict, even if I have fought for this life, I will still sue you in the Golden Palace for trespassing!"

Huang Zicheng stood in front of Xiao Fan with great righteousness, as sacred and inviolable as the god descended to earth.

"Brother Guan Xi..." Xiao Fan squeezed out his long-practice smile, and then saw that Huang Zicheng's face was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words: "Mr. Huang, the student is visiting the door today, and there is no malice. Please don't misunderstand..."

After saying that, Xiao Fan made up his clothes and gave a student salute to Huang Zicheng with a solemn expression.

Although Xiao Fan has served as the commander of the Jinyiwei, he was once a attendant of the Eastern Palace. He and Huang Zicheng still have the title of teacher and student, so this ceremony is in line with the rules.

Although he was unwilling to do so, Xiao Fan still made etiquette very thoughtful. In order to unify the understanding of reducing the vassal states, why not lower his attitude?
