Chapter 5 Chain Reaction

Lin Feng and Han Xizai rushed to Situ's Mansion. Situ Zhouzong had already lay down to rest, but Lin Feng stubbornly said that he had something very important and had to meet Lord Situ tonight, forcing Zhou Ming, who looked angry, to knock on the door of the study.

After a long time, the candlelight lit up in the study. Situ Zhouzong coughed gently and opened the door. Seeing Lin Feng with a caring look on his face, Han Xizai with an anxious face shook his head gently, waved his hand to Zhou Ming, who looked unhesitant, and signaled him to rest assured.

After Zhou Ming left, Lin Feng ignored Zhou Zong's invitation to sit down at the desk, walked directly into the inner room, raised the pillows and thin quilts on the bed, then turned around and helped Zhou Zong in, and asked the old man to lie down on the bed without saying a word.

The old man looked at Lin Feng with relief, slowly leaned against the quilt, and nodded softly: "Tell me, what important thing can make you two come to see me tonight?"

Han Xizai knew that the old man had not attended court today and did not know what had happened. He spoke up and briefly described what happened in today's court and Qingsi Hall.

The old man listened calmly, then turned his gaze to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng, who was standing in front of the bed, looked solemnly, stared at Zhou Zong's seemingly deep and silent eyes, and asked calmly: "Did Lord Situ remember Mr. Qin Qian of the Warring States Period?"

Prince Qian, whose surname is Ying, is named Qian. His story mainly involves Shang Yang's reforms, which had far-reaching influence in Qin State.

Shang Yang followed the Legalists, and the reform focused on punishment, paying attention to the common crimes of the emperor and the common people. In order to establish trust, Shang Yang was familiar with the allusion of the bounty of the pillars at the city gate; and in order to establish his authority, Shang Yang captured the incident of Prince Qian's indulgence of Prince Si and investigated the matter to the end. Prince Qian, the tutor of the prince, was eventually punished by the punishment of being cut off. This punishment was tantamount to a great humiliation for a prince. Therefore, when the prince succeeded to the throne as Queen Huiwen of Qin, Prince Qian falsely accused Shang Yang of rebellion, and Qin killed Shang Yang and destroyed his family.

Lin Feng thought about it and found that after every failed reform, there was a negative example similar to Lu Huiqing. However, before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there seemed to be only one Gongzi Qian who was a negative example of the reform that was left in history. He could only give this example.

Situ Zhouzong nodded slightly and continued to stare at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly and said calmly: "Lord Situ has experienced a lot and naturally understands that reforms in a country are not difficult. What is difficult is that the reforms are in the hands of whom, and thus ultimately protecting their interests, or from another perspective, changing their interests. Just like Gongzi Qian is the representative of those who are harming the interests of Qin, those who may be damaged or are about to be damaged during the reform will definitely choose someone who can represent their interests.

Today, the general trend has been achieved when the Tang Dynasty reforms, and the general trend should be smooth, rather than disobeying. At this moment, it is no longer meaningful to simply oppose reform. There is only one way left to compete for leadership of reform, and try every means to make reform beneficial to oneself, or how to benefit from reform.

In the eyes of Xiaguan, the King of Yan requested to go to prefectures and counties to practice reforms, and Feng Yansi requested to join the Qingsi Palace were all wise moves to adapt to this situation. At this point, the reform has officially entered a fierce stage of leadership struggle. Compared with the stalemate of whether to reform in the first stage, this stage will be even more cruel and bloody, and it can be said to be a life-and-death battle! Since ancient times, there has been only one way to live or die, either one or the other, Huashan Road!

The King of Yan still cared for his face and hoped to take over the central government after making achievements in the local area, so he fought for the leadership of the reform in a curved manner; but Feng Yansi was different. He was extremely shameless and wanted to come to Qingsi Palace to grab peaches, which forced us to make a choice!"

Zhou Zong sighed softly and closed his eyes tightly.

Lin Feng felt soft when he saw the old man like this, but he became hard again in an instant and continued: "Everything in this world, if there is a possibility of becoming worse, it will definitely develop towards the worst result. If the dominance of this change is lost, all the worst result may occur. Anyone can guess a chain reaction that will happen later: the people in the Qingsi Palace were transferred from their current positions one by one, and then they were settled one by one. In the future, no one involved in the change can escape, and everything involved in the change will be slowly cleaned..."

Hearing this, Zhou Zong opened his eyes, stared at Lin Feng, and asked, "What do you mean is to ask me to come forward and go to Qingsi Palace?"

As expected, he was a big boss who had been ups and downs in his life, and he was right away! Lin Feng did not answer, turned his eyes to the night sky outside the window, and continued to murmur: "I am alone, but I believe that the people who follow me now will not be able to do anything with me, including Zhou Ming from the supermarket..."

Zhou Zong stretched out his hand, stopped Lin Feng's idea of ​​continuing to talk, and closed his eyes again.

Lin Feng also stood there with a regular look, waiting for the elder's decision with a respectful look.

After a long time, Zhou Zong shook his head gently and said, "How long can I last for just my body?"

Lin Feng immediately continued: "It doesn't take long. Xiaguan just wants to get a buffering room. Xiaguan has several tricks behind him, and a huge change will soon happen."

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and did not tell his plans about the Chu State in the west and the Qingyuan Army in the southeast. Now, all this is still empty talk, but he feels like a lie in the air. But Lin Feng can be sure that within half a year, there will be a huge change in the north and west sides, and his academicians will also be able to produce dazzling development results, and his previous advance move will play a role. Therefore, the most important thing now is to ensure that there will be no major changes within the Southern Tang Dynasty during this "window period"!

Zhou Zong squirmed his lips a few times, and he chanted twice in an inauspicious voice: "Ehuang...Ehuang..."

Lin Feng was delighted. The old man thought of Ehuang's future happiness at the first time, but was afraid that he had agreed in his heart. He immediately bowed and continued: "Please believe me, I will never speak irresponsible. I dare to bet that the world will undergo earth-shaking changes soon!"

Zhou Zong stared at Lin Feng quietly for a long time before saying, "I used to believe you, but now I should believe you! I hope you don't disappoint me!"

Lin Feng was overjoyed, kneeled down respectfully, and replied solemnly: "I am here to thank Lord Situ! Please rest assured, sir, Lin Feng swears now that he will not disappoint him in any aspect!" Zhou Zongyu warned him with a pun, and Lin Feng also responded with a pun, and by the way, he promised that he would definitely be good to Zhou Ehuang in the future!

"Get up, I will go to court on time tomorrow!" Zhou Zong waved his hand and signaled that the two of them could retreat.

Lin Feng and Han Xizai saluted together, gently blew out the candlelight, and retreated out of the room.

After leaving Zhou Mansion, Lin Feng looked at the dark sky and said to Han Xizai gently: "Brother Han, I won't go to the morning court tomorrow, and I will wait for your latest news at home!"

Han Xizai nodded softly and didn't say anything again.

On the second day, Lin Feng got up on time to exercise, got along well with his family for a while, and then began to arrange the people he needed to meet in the evening in the past few days. Before Lin Feng had finished his work, Han Xizai's news came, and the coachman who sent him to the palace brought a piece of paper.

Lin Feng opened it and saw that there were only a few simple words on the paper: "Old Master, the Great Ceremony of Shuangcai, watching; Sikong, the Right Pushe, a total of three people."

Lin Feng suddenly understood that Lao Han was telling himself that when Mr. Situ went to court, he used his experience of participating in the talent ceremony to explain that he was unwilling to retire at a critical period of change, and asked the emperor to allow himself to watch the gratifying changes brought about by the Tang Dynasty as an old man who had worked hard for the Southern Tang Dynasty for the rest of his life.

With Feng Yansi's shameless request to open the way, the old man's remarks were naturally more convincing, and Li Jing naturally would not refuse. However, the difference from what Lin Feng imagined was that Situ Zhouzong's move triggered another chain reaction: Sikong Li Jianxun and Shangshu's right servant Sun Sheng were not willing to be lonely, and they also volunteered to join the Qingsi Palace, so Li Jing simply agreed generously.

Lin Feng couldn't help but smile. It was actually better for three old men to sit in Qingsi Hall! Feng Yansi first mixed the water, and he also successfully mixed the water even more. In this way, no one can easily catch a big fish!
