Looking at the back of Gao Xiaoli who left in despair, his back was hunched, he no longer had the high spirits of the richest man in Yingzhou, and his lonely back looked like a bereaved dog!

Li Kui, who was standing at the door, looked at Fan Chunren, and then at the back of Gao Xiaoli as he left. He felt that the old man was a bit shady. He didn't believe that Fan Chunren had evidence that Gao Xiaoli committed adultery. Even if it was hearsay, he probably wouldn't believe it.

There will be.

Who is Gao Xiaoli and needs the attention of the prime minister of the dynasty?

Since Fan Chunren has no news at all, and even Gao Xiaoli has been heard of for the first time, then for Gao Xiaoli, the truth is a bit cruel, and it is even better for him not to know than to know. He is likely to be killed by the Empress Dowager

He was targeted. As for Fan Chunren, he was probably just the executor who came to Yingzhou to beat him up.

"Renjie, come on, let's continue talking about the reform."

Ever since Li Kui blew old man Fan Zhongyan to heaven, Fan Chunren has become more and more fond of Li Kui. He is the first famous official in the Song Dynasty and the first famous official in history. The Fan family is embarrassed to say this. As for the others,

I'm afraid I'm not willing to do such a dishonorable thing. Fan Zhongyan's historical status cannot be judged now, but needs time to settle.

The old man passed away less than forty years ago. This time is nothing in the long history.

The old man liked Li Kui, so he had more opportunities to talk to Li Kui.

And what about Li Kui?

He had a very strong thirst for knowledge about the Reform Party, the Old Party, the Qingli New Deal, and the Xining Reform, which had a great impact on the Song Dynasty. Su Shi was not a very qualified commentator, because he was different from other important reforms.

As for the characters, Su Shi's view is more subjective and one-sided.

On the contrary, it was Fan Chunren, whose biological father was the implementer of the reform.

The failure of Qingli's New Deal was because his opponents were too cunning and the emperor was too timid. Deep down in his heart, Fan Chunren also hoped for reform, because the state treasury has basically been unable to make ends meet for many years. If things go on like this, the Song Dynasty may face

Once a large-scale war breaks out, it will be difficult to raise military expenditures.

But at the same time, he was an opponent of the reform and Wang Anshi's mortal enemy.

From the centrist to the opposition, what exactly is he dissatisfied with?

However, when Li Kui saw Gao Xiaoli, he was very interested in what the old man said to Gao Xiaoli just now and why Gao Xiaoli looked so scared when he went out.

Li Kui chuckled and asked: "Old man, why did Gao Xiaoli look so panicked just now?"

"You are dishonest. I helped you ask for money, but you became concerned about this enemy." Fan Chunren learned from Su Guo, Su Shi, and even Gao Qiu that Li Kui and Li Yun had helped

Gao Xiaoli was almost tricked to death by Gao Xiaoli. Only then did he decide to seek justice for Li Kui.

Fan Chunren said leisurely: "In any era, no one listens to the truth of the little people; no one dares not to listen to the lies of the big people. Even knowing that they are false, they still pretend to be reasonable and force themselves to

Believe it. Do you know what this is?”

"It's power."

Li Kui was not sure and said that it was difficult for him to understand that people in this era always like to talk about ambiguous things, which are more like talking on wheels. If you listen to them backwards and forwards, you can always justify your explanations.

But the real meaning is difficult to discern.

Fan Chunren did not mean to test Li Kui on purpose. Instead, he smiled and said: "My method of dealing with him is very simple. If you deceive him, you can probably scare him half to death."

Who dares to turn a deaf ear to what the prime minister says?

Li Kui thought about it for a while and suddenly figured it out. There is a high probability that Su Shi's memorial will be sent to Fan Chunren. As long as there is a few words in it about the dissatisfaction of Yingzhou's wealthy households, Gao Xiaoli's involvement is indispensable. At the same time, the Empress Dowager is a woman, so a little

If there is a little bit of trouble, I can't sit still and I need someone to make my character come to light.

It is really not difficult to deceive Gao Xiaoli. Not only is it not difficult, it is also very easy.

As for Gao Xiaoli's life or death, the Empress Dowager Gao Zhengyi doesn't care, nor do the two recognized relatives of the Gao family, Gao Gonghui and Gao Gongji. They even treat Gao Xiaoli as a relative. In a broad sense, Gao Xiaoli is indeed a relative.

.But in this business of relatives, only two identities are most useful, the first is the emperor's uncle; the second is the emperor's father-in-law.

All other relationships are inferior to the boss. Not to mention the twists and turns, who would care about Gao Xiaoli's life or death.

That is to say, in a small place like Yingzhou, Gao Xiaoli could live like a real person. Now in the capital, even his status as a foreign relative would be a joke.

As for what Fan Chunren said, that the prime minister helped to collect the accounts, it was just a joke. Li Kui might have taken it seriously. He shook his head and said: "Old man, how could I be so virtuous? How dare you let me stand up for you? I think I'd better forget it.

?”

Fan Chunren waved his hand and said, "How can we forget it? Gao Xiaoli can't escape this disaster anyway. Asking for money for you is just a coincidence."

Only then did Li Kui understand that it was a certainty that Gao Xiaoli would be unlucky.

Since he was destined to be unlucky, Li Kui no longer refused, and the two continued to talk about the story of the reform. From the script, one was talking and the other was listening. As a person who personally experienced the two reforms of the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the story of the reform in the Song Dynasty was

No one knows the pros and cons of the reform better than him. Even Zhang Dun and others, big figures in the reform faction, cannot match Fan Chunren's insight.

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is your enemy.

As an opponent of Wang Anshi's reform, Fan Chunren's views completely overturned Li Kui's understanding of the reform. He originally thought that the failure of the reform was mainly due to interests. In fact, it was not the case. Interests were one aspect. The failure of the Qingli New Deal was due to Fan Zhongyan.

To deal with the problem of redundant officials, an examination procedure was added to the favor system. This also means that the court can increase the difficulty of the examination at will to limit the number of officials who enjoy the favor. This alone makes the opposition unable to sit still.

.

Not to mention the opposition, even Fan Chunren lamented: "I used to be a favor to the county magistrate of Xiangyi. If I had followed my father's method, I would have probably passed the exam."

You must know that after Fan Chunren became an official, he also took part in the imperial examination. It took him more than ten years of stumbling to pass the exam before he became a Jinshi.

Knowledge is naturally not a problem. But if Enyin officials are awarded officials according to the Qingli New Deal examination, it may be difficult for him to enter the official career in his life. Because people's mentality will change if they fail too much.

As an opponent of Wang Anshi's reform, Fan Chunren was even more aware of the gains and losses of Xining's reform: "You do things by any means, and the people don't ask for it, and officials are promoted, which leads to the people's livelihood. Although the national treasury is full, it is a waste of money, and the people's strength is seriously depleted.

, had to be abolished.”

"Is it the human fault?" Li Kui asked.

Fan Chunren thought for a while and realized that Wang Anshi's reform was actually just a little more enrichment of the reform content of the Qingli New Deal. To completely deny Wang Anshi would be to completely deny his father Fan Zhongyan, so he could only nod his head and said: "Probably so."

Li Kui was thoughtful, and Fan Chunren was surprised.

Li Kui did not want to preside over the reform, he just wanted to know the destructive power of the reform. But Fan Chunren mistakenly thought that Li Kui had intentions, and was very frightened. He did not expect that the little guy in front of him had such great ambitions.

After Gao Xiaoli returned, he didn't dare to find Fan Chunren because he didn't know what crimes he should mention when asking him to surrender?

If you say too much, you will be at a loss.

If you say too little and have a bad attitude towards confessing, it will be difficult both internally and externally.

On this day, he was restlessly pondering at home when he suddenly heard the housekeeper approaching and whispering: "Master, the young master is back."

"He's back, why didn't he come to see me?" Gao Xiaoli felt that his son came at the right time. He lacked news from the capital to support him, and his son was likely to bring him useful news for his reference.

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper was in a dilemma. He hesitated for a long time, and seeing Gao Xiaoli getting anxious, he said, "The young master did not return to Zhuangzi. Instead, he bought a house in Yingyang and brought a group of dancing girls from the capital..."

Needless to say, after Gao Wuyang went to the capital and saw the big scene, he started to follow the trend and spend money.

But whatever money Gao Wuyang had on his hands, it must have been the money he had given him to honor his master, and he had squandered it. Thinking of this, Gao Xiao was so angry that he almost lost his breath, and cursed with a crooked corner of his mouth: "You are a traitor, you are a traitor.
