"Your Majesty, if you continue to connive at the exploitation of the people by the nobles. Then, you are in the same league as the nobles. Fan Zhen scolded.

He thought to himself: Xiao Yan is no different from Xiao Luan and Xiao Baojuan. They were all protectors of the nobles. Nothing, the essential difference.

Xiao Yan thought to himself: Although Fan Zhen is disrespectful to me. However, he was a loyal servant. His talent is evident to all. I felt I could reuse him first. Then slowly hone his temperament.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with what you're saying. The scholars of the world do have a superior life. But here's the problem: they're warriors in the first place. The scholars need to have the pomp and circumstance of the scholars. You have not been an emperor. Naturally, you don't know the emperor's difficulties. The position of the emperor is not easy to sit. It can be said that it is like a pins and needles. Mr. Fan Zhen. Xiao Yan said angrily.

"So what? Your Majesty, since you have become the emperor. You need to ask for the people's lives. Instead of being like the princes of the imperial court, the corpse is vegetarian and has fun. They can spend a lot of money in the green building, but they can't help the victims. Fan Zhen scolded.

"Fan Jin. You're so extreme. I'm afraid the court won't be able to tolerate you. Hope you're doing it well. "God Annihilation", you can continue to promote. However, you can only be in Jiankang City now. I asked Shen Yue if there were any other vacancies. I can arrange it for you, anyway, there are a lot of idle jobs......" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Nope. Your Majesty. Wechen didn't want to continue in Jiankang City. Wechen hopes to return to his hometown. That's what Wechen likes. Fan Zhen cried.

"It's up to you. I want you to serve the court. Instead, continue to spread rumors among the people. I'm saving you. If you continue like this, you will be killed. I'm afraid the warriors have wanted to kill you for a long time. Xiao Yan scolded.

"Your Majesty, Wechen is willing. What if you die. It's better than eating and waiting for death in Jiankang City. Wechen won't give in. Fan Zhen scolded.

"Okay. Then you tell me, what do you want? What is your statecraft? Except for the "Theory of Divine Annihilation". Xiao Yan asked curiously.

He thought to himself: I really want to hear Fan Jin's high opinions. Fan Zhen has the talent of the world, but it is a pity that he is wild, so he has no achievements until today.

"Your Majesty, Weichen hopes that all the people in the world can live and work in peace and contentment. There are no more scholars and moths in the world. All the people of the world can live happily. Fan Zhen said with a smile.

Xiao Yan smiled: "I think so too. However, this did not happen overnight. So, I hope you can understand that you need to take your time. ”

"Nope. Your Majesty. You want me to give up. That's why I deliberately prevaricated me. Actually, you want me to give up the struggle. Fan said angrily.

"If you see through it, you can't say it. Fan Jin, you lack such ability. Otherwise, your career will already be smooth. It's not like it's so bumpy. Do you know? Xiao Yan said angrily.

"Your Majesty. Wechen doesn't want to be in a high position. Because, today's court is too dirty. There is no one who can not be polluted. Therefore, Wechen would rather give up the opportunity and continue to struggle. Fan said angrily.

Xiao Yan scolded: "Fan Jin." You don't have to be embarrassed. There is a limit to my patience. I can't go on. ”

"Really? Your Majesty, if you think that Weichen is deviant. You can kill Wechen now. Anyway, I died only for the truth. Don't live for anything else. Fan said angrily.

"Really? No. If I kill you now. Isn't it the fulfillment of your good name? Do you want future generations to praise your loyalty and scold me as a faint king? I don't. Xiao Yan scolded.

Fan Zhen smiled: "Then it's up to Your Majesty." ”

He turned to leave, thinking: Your Majesty is so civil. Such a monarch, it doesn't matter if the ministers are not loyal to you.

The next day, Xiao Yan went to Ding Lingguang's bedroom.

He saw the Buddha hall in the dormitory and asked, "Aifei, why do you believe in Buddhism?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine feels that the Buddha has supreme wisdom, and getting close to the Buddha can be sheltered. So I believed. Any questions? Ding Lingguang looked at Xiao Yan in surprise.

She thought to herself: Could it be that Your Majesty has any opinion of the Buddha?

"Nope. I just heard a minister say yesterday that the Buddha's problem. That's why I'm curious. Nothing. Xiao Yan said.

Ding Lingguang looked at Xiao Yan's frowning and thought: Your Majesty should have something on your mind. I guess it's because I met Fan Zhen yesterday.

I've heard of Fan Zhen too. He's a wonder. often in order to oppose Buddhism and Taoism, bewitching the people. His Majesty can tolerate such a person.

Isn't Your Majesty's temper too good?

"Your Majesty, is it because of that Fan Jin? Or is it because of someone else? Ding Lingguang asked.

"How did Concubine Ai find out?" Xiao Yan asked.

He thought to himself: Ding Lingguang is so well-informed. There must be a problem. I have to guard against it.

"Your Majesty, Fan Zhen is a celebrity in our Liang Kingdom. He has always been a well-known eloquent in Liang State, and he is simply the contemporary Su Qin and Zhang Yi. No one can argue with Fan Jin. In the Liang country. Even, the people of Wei said that Fan Zhen was the first debater in the world. Ding Lingguang said with emotion.

Xiao Yan thought to himself: I see! It seems that Fan Jin's prestige among the people is very high. It seems that I can't let him go. He needs to be placed under house arrest in Jiankang City. If anything happens to him. You can even consider getting rid of him.

"Fan Zhen is a talent. So. I'll let him serve in the court. However, his "Theory of Divine Annihilation", I can't keep it. Xiao Yan scolded.

At the same time, on the Wei side of the north, Xiao Baoyin was walking with Nanyang Princess Yuan Jingyue in the Imperial Garden.

Yuan Jingyue said, "His Royal Highness King Qi, what kind of person do you think Xiao Yan is?" ”

"Xiao Yan is a person of noble character and an all-round talent in civil and military affairs." Xiao Baoyin said.

"Then why, did he still take away the family property of your Qi country? How can a traitor be of high moral character? Yuan Jingyue asked.

"Xiao Yan didn't want to rebel. He was also forced by Xiao Baojuan. Xiao Yan has always been a Confucian scholar in the world. He is proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Actually, he's my uncle. If so, we are not because of political differences. Actually, we can be friends. Xiao Baoyin said with emotion.

"Really? Why? You Southern Dynasty people are really wonderful. Xiao Yan is the one who took away your family business. Why don't you have any grudges against him? Do you think he did nothing wrong? Nanyang Princess Yuan Jingyue asked.

"Actually, Xiao Yan is not wrong to oppose Xiao Baojuan. However, his slaughter of the Qi clan would be a great evil. After all, the country of Qi is also his home country. Moreover, drink water and think of the source. He shouldn't be. Xiao Baoyin lamented.

Nanyang Princess Yuan Jingyue thought to herself: Yes, Xiao Yan is indeed a talent.
