Chapter 248: Hou Fangyu's flattery

"Brother Li, Grandpa Li, the little Hou Fangyu is not a person, I offended you before, as long as you let me go, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you for generations, and I will never lose my word."

Li Xiangqian frowned, and said that he would fight to the end with arrogance, and he was going to concoct this product well.

He didn't know Hou Fangyu's thoughts, after killing Gao Jie, he was extremely scared, but the soldiers who beat him seemed to be persuaded and didn't really kill him.

This was naturally thought by him, it was his father's official position and Zuo Liangyu's army behind him, and no one dared to kill him.

Therefore, although they were beaten by Gao Jie's cronies and escorted to kneel there and be tortured at Gao Jie's funeral, it seems that they don't want to kill themselves.

So, Hou Fangyu had hope in his heart, and naturally he had survived all kinds of torture, he had evolved himself into the legendary dragon Aotian in his heart, today you ignore my love, oh no, it is tortured to the end, tomorrow you will be tortured to death by me.

He has countless fantasies, whether it is the people of the whole city rebelling to protect themselves such an excellent reading seed, or Zuo Liangyu sent to rescue him with an enemy of a hundred elites, or even Li Xiangjun incarnated as a Valkyrie and killed all the damned sluts in the city.

No way, you see, all kinds of YY in the Ming Dynasty are basically a **silk, well, the main body is dominated by talented scholars, and in all kinds of absurd and impossible situations, soak in a young lady from a big family, well, in later generations, this is the story of the king of soldiers ** silk counterattacking Bai Fumei, serving as CEO, and then going to the pinnacle of life, the core of the story of this matter is almost the same.

Hou Fangyu has also seen these things that are close to Xiao Huangwen, at that time he was already close to madness, the process was very gradual, slowly approaching despair, along the way, Hou Fangyu was tortured, and in the end, he was even ordered by the vicious Mrs. Xing to give ......

Now Hou Fangyu also understands that he was sent to the imperial capital, and this is not a place where he can kill people arrogantly at will, but the imperial capital of the Donglin Party has been completely cleansed!

The more he thought about it, the more desperate he became, he was tortured like this, he was already a lifelong mortal enemy, he cursed countless times and swore that he wanted to kill and kill, in short, everyone in the world is sorry for me, such a talent, the people of the entire Celestial Empire should directly invite him into the court, you are the first assistant, and the affairs of the world will naturally be smoothed by a great talent like him, and he can destroy any enemy country with a gesture.

Hate only hate, the people of the Celestial Empire don't know the goods, and they actually support a group of witches who pretend to be gods and ghosts, he hates.

So, Hou Fangyu went to the other extreme, the establishment of a new imperial court, there is always a need for eunuchs, his family is high, handsome, and eloquent, as long as he enters the palace, serves a certain dignitary, and takes charge of power in the future, then from Mrs. Xing's family to the heretics in the so-called Council of Elders, they will die.

No, everyone in the whole Heavenly Dynasty has to die, if everyone in the whole world supports Hou Fangyu as the first assistant, oh no, if he is the emperor, how can he fall to the point where he is today?

Hou Fangyu's heart has long been twisted and perverted, unable to control himself, his stomach is full of all kinds of books, those superficial strategies to sow discord, he has a limited understanding of the situation inside the Council of Elders, but in the end he is better than ordinary people, knowing that there are quite a few of them, there are three hundred, with his ability, as long as he endures, learn from those eunuchs, grovel, and gain trust, he swears that he will stir up trouble within the Council of Elders, strive to find a way to control their weapons, and kill them all!

Li Xiangqian looked at him very strangely and said, "Do you still have a queen now, and you will be loyal for generations, well, by the way, does Hou Gongzi have anything else to say." ”

Hou Fangyu kept kowtowing, his head was already covered with blood, and he said hoarsely: "Grandpa, the little one is willing to serve the Celestial Empire, before and after the saddle, if you want to unify the world, you must use people, and also, grandpa, if you want to be the emperor, I can let my father and other literati wave the flag and shout for you, and offer auspicious luck." ”

Li Xiangqian couldn't help laughing, this emperor's dream sounds very good, but it is too much responsibility.

Many people think that being an emperor is interesting, that is to break free from the vanity of those thousands of admirers, and to open up the power brought by the emperor's identity, being an emperor is actually similar to doing business, and the darker businessmen like to make profits, and the responsibility is thrown to others, and the so-called emperor, that is really all the power and responsibility belong to you.

Of course, this is nothing, but in the Ming Dynasty, it is obvious that the whole world is yours, okay, after I finish my term of office, I will be laid off directly, go home and spend the money I embezzled in office, as for how the Celestial Empire was destroyed, what does it matter to me?

Being an emperor is a big trap and a big temptation.

Li Xiangqian didn't have such thoughts for a second.

In the opinion of some hooligans, his current choice is very good, and the benefits he gets don't have to be bad as the emperor, and the responsibility is the result of everyone's collective vote, and this pot baby doesn't carry it.

"Come on, you're hurting me, but Hou Gongzi's spirit is still very strong, it seems that he can start the next wave of torture, but it's nothing, Hou Gongzi is covering for his old friend like this, it's righteous enough, it's interesting enough, and in the future, he will definitely write a big stroke in the history books."

Hou Fangyu's eyes were full of hatred, but he didn't dare to look at Li Xiangqian, so he could only kneel on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "I have said everything, I have already confessed." ”

As the son of the Ministry of Household Shangshu, it is almost equivalent to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Construction in Western countries in later generations, Hou Sui really made a fortune, otherwise it would be impossible to support Hou Fangyu's life of spending all day and night.

Moreover, in his tenure, he also fished in troubled waters, that is, he conveyed countless benefits to those "old friends", as a son, Hou Fangyu naturally knew a lot.

As the first high-level child of the Ming Dynasty who can be interrogated after being arrested, and he is also a representative of the almost templated official N generation, for the Council of Elders, Hou Fangyu is an almost perfect model, and he can study the ideas and practices of those scholars in him, so as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, he was surrounded by a crowd and checked his body first, confirming that except for the thing that was "cut off" by the black-hearted Mrs. Xing on the road, he was still healthy in other aspects, and then made up for it with some medicine. After confirming that he could not die, he began various "researches" to try to understand the thoughts of these high-ranking scholars as much as possible.

In addition to really discovering that these scholars basically did not treat the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty as people, the most asked questions were actually how Hou Sui played the trick of collusion between officials and businessmen in office, and all kinds of tricks according to the internal foundation of the Ming Dynasty were dizzying.

As a native of Henan, Hou Sui took his son Hou Fangyu to Jiangnan, but he can still have some influence, relying on the many "old friends" he made when he was in office, especially those Jiangnan salt merchants, various grain households, silk merchants and so on.

These are not only evidence of crimes, but also weapons against these sanctimonious hypocrites, and also a strategy to carry out targeted system corrections and crack down on those profiteers in the future.

In addition to the military power of the regime, the strategy of the Elders to unify Jiangnan is to erode their financial rights, cultural rights, and benefits in their hands little by little, and the focus of the attack is naturally these guys, of course, if they dare to use the so-called regime to resist this erosion, there are naturally countless strategies to pinch them.

Since the beginning of this year, Qian Jin's greatest achievement is to successfully sell the good thing of the Republic Tongbao to Jiangnan, in terms of the level of coinage, the cost, almost no one can imitate the Republic of Tongbao, and the guaranteed monetary value, which is easy to imagine.

In this context, Hou Fangyu has indeed been drained of use value, at least Li Xiangqian also knows that what should be said has been said.

Li Xiangqian said: "Okay, below, we hope that you will write a letter of repentance, and earnestly publicize your father and other corrupt Confucians, how they deceived the world and stole their reputation, and corrupted the law, and at the same time deeply explained how you hollowed out the foundation of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Hou Fangyu seemed to see hope, and immediately said, "I wrote it, will you let me go." ”

Li Xiangqian smiled without saying a word, thought about it, and said, "You write it first, and we will naturally have an arrangement." ”

Hou Fangyu seemed to be uncontrollable, and roared: "Liar, you have been deceiving people, saying that I confessed and let me go, saying that I would let me go if I drew a charge, and now you still let me write this book, as a result, I am done, I must be going to kill me, you want to kill me to win the hearts of those **** people, and you want to stink my father's reputation, tell you, I don't write, and besides, you pretend that I wrote something, scholars will definitely not believe it, and the virtue of scholars is naturally high." ”

Li looked forward and said, "Your father has been an official for more than ten years, and he has made millions of dollars, isn't it a corrupt official?" ”

Hou Fangyu said: "That's what my generation deserves, and you people who don't read naturally don't understand." ”

He ran from one extreme to the other, in his opinion, these weirdos have something to ask for themselves, as long as they grit their teeth and don't write those things, they won't die, so instead, from the previous groveling, evolved into the current crazy toughness.

Of course, Li Xiangqian was carrying an electric shock rod in his pocket, that thing, Hou Fangyu had tasted it too many times, and his body had already formed a conditioned reflex, so he didn't have to be electrified, as long as he picked it up, he would tremble and curl up on the ground.

Li Xiangqian sighed and said: "I understand, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, I feel that if I read the book, I have everything, ten years of cold window, I have suffered so much, that is, I use the imperial examination every day, climb to the peak of life, become a high-ranking official, and marry Bai Fumei This kind of YY to support myself, so once you become an official, you will begin to gather crazily, even if it is the Qing official Hai Rui, it is also several concubines, as for how the world is, how the people are, you don't care." ”

Thinking that in the future, Hou Fangyu was in Henan all of a sudden, offering a plan to drown the rebel army, he was angry, the Jurchens are all outsiders, where do they understand the terrain, in the final analysis, it is still a traitor.

Hate only hate, and only the elders themselves know the origin of these things, but because they can't expose the essence of their own traversers, they can't say it to the outside world, otherwise, what a weapon this is!

Of course, from a legal point of view, these things in Hou Fangyu belong to the actions of another time and space period, and naturally they will not happen due to the crossing of the Elders, so if this is used to convict him, it is really a bit wronged.

However, for such a dangerous person, no elder would agree to give him preferential treatment, and it is better for such a poisonous tongue to die quickly.

Hou Fangyu roared angrily: "Nonsense, in the future, I will leave a name in history, and the reputation of my father and son will naturally be wronged, and you will not be allowed to plant it." ”

Li Xiangqian nodded and said: "Yes, the Donglin Party is the most shameless, and there are countless people who are ready to take refuge in me, once the world is unified, then it will be necessary to repair the history of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally it will not be out of the palm of the Donglin Party, when the time comes, Kangxi can become Jiao Yulu, Qianlong can become Kong Fansen, and your father and son will also become a good person, if you want me to say, under such a system, it is best for your father and son to die." ”

Hou Fangyu naturally didn't know who this Kangxi Qianlong, Jiao and Kong were, but he was broken by Li Xiangqian, gritted his teeth, and stopped talking.

He was a little too tortured.

Li Xiangqian said: "Okay, we are still reasonable, at least we will give people some opportunities to write a suicide note and realize their wishes, do you have anything you want before you die." ”

Hou Fangyu's eyes were red, and he said, "You won't kill me, you're lying to me again!" ”

Li Xiangqian shook his head and said: "Whether it is a lie to you or not, you will know, as for you, you can make a request, we are human beings, not brutes like you, for your request, you can consider it." ”

Hou Fangyu was in a complicated mood for a while, and suddenly he was no longer necessarily, no longer electrocuted himself, no longer tortured himself, but said this kind of words to realize his wishes, but panicked, so he said: "I want to live, I want to go home, woo, you can't kill me, I am a scholar." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "I know that you don't treat people other than scholars as people, so I don't say anything big, what conscience do you have, hehe, the question now is, what do you want to eat before you die, we still have some Henan people, I can cook you some hometown dishes, and don't you like Jiangnan, Jiangnan pastries or something." ”

Hou Fangyu was a little dizzy, for so many days, although he was tortured, it was a punishment that would not hurt anyone, and even someone would run to rescue him, but now, it was a real death threat.

"I want to meet Xiangjun."

Li Xiangqian glanced at him strangely and said: "Before you die, let a woman see herself like this, okay, you might as well think of a way, such as writing letters and ink, and recording where your body will go back, um." ”

"No, I want to see her!"

Woo, Hou Fangyu is already a little about to collapse.

This is also Li Xiangqian's purpose.
