This sudden blizzard lasted for a month and a half.
Although the weather is cold, the court hall is full of heat.
Ever since Li Daozong submitted the memorial on the reform of the imperial examination, the court every day was like a vegetable market.
The normally well-dressed civil and military ministers had a quarrel, which also allowed Yang Fan to see the power of aristocratic families in this era.
Almost ninety-nine percent of the court officials signed a letter to protest, and even the mighty and domineering Majesty Li Er had to make concessions.
It made Yang Fan even more aware that if there were not enough new forces generated, it would be impossible to shake the foundation of the aristocratic family of this era.
The economic base determines the superstructure, and the aristocratic families at this time are originally the makers and participants of the rules.
Of course, he was strongly opposed to the imperial examination reform that could greatly weaken his own power.
However, His Majesty Li Er was not a vegetarian. With the support of Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and others, he argued with reason and worked step by step, launching a secret war without swords and guns.
The entire court became a battlefield without smoke.
According to Yang Fan, this kind of quarrel where you come and go and compromise with each other will at least last for quite some time before the dust settles.
This process is actually also a stage of interest redistribution.
I also deeply understand why every change in history is so difficult.
With the entanglement of interests and intertwined relationships, this kind of reform cannot be achieved overnight with fists.
In addition to the era in which this system needs to be able to survive, there must also be talents to promote this kind of reform, and there must be a steady stream of basic talents.
Without the support of successors, talking about reform is just empty talk. This also strengthened Yang Fan's determination to hurry up and prepare for Junyangfang Academy.
As the saying goes, a single spark can start a prairie fire. This era needs a primer.
Therefore, when the noise in the court was in full swing, Yang Fan became even busier.
He often travels between Junyangfang and Chang'an City.
However, Yang Fan, who had just arrived in Junyangfang today, did not go to the school to supervise the work. Instead, he went to the field training place for the special forces.
This time Yang Fan was not going for training, but to examine the results of these special forces training during this period.
Counting the time, these people have been training for more than three months.
After paying so much, Yang Fan certainly wanted to see the effect.
Because Yang Fan plans to use modern methods of assessing military loyalty to screen this group of special forces.
It's better to be lacking than to be indiscriminate. In Yang Fan's view, the level of force does not matter, but loyalty must definitely pass the test.
For those who pass this assessment, Yang Fan will equip them with weapons far beyond this era, and these people will also serve as Yang Fan's final trump card.
Therefore, Yang Fan paid special attention to this trip and spent huge sums of money to build hundreds of independent enclosed spaces as a test.
Yang Fan only let Xue Rengui know about this test, but he did not tell him the specific content and only asked him to cooperate.
After all, someone needs to cooperate inside and outside to capture this group of tough special forces unknowingly.
Before arriving at the training base, Xue Rengui appeared in front of Yang Fan: "Sir, someone poisoned the food. Those bastards have all been stunned. What should we do next?"
Xue Rengui had no idea why Yang Fan stunned these people, but he would not question Yang Fan's order.
Because Xue Rengui knows who gave him his current life and who gave his wife her life!
Although it is not a title of master and servant, it cannot change the loyalty and respect in Xue Rengui's heart.
Yang Fan did not explain or waste any unnecessary nonsense. He waved his hand to the guards who came with him to put on black hoods and ordered: "Destroy the training ground to look like it has been invaded, and detain all the unconscious people inside in solitary confinement." Prepared small room..."
In the following time, except for Xue Rengui's 94 people, all were detained in separate spaces.
This kind of space is made of iron sheets, filled with sound insulation materials, and then fixed with wood. It is actually a small dark room.
This kind of small dark room has only a door and no windows, and the space is very small, but these small dark rooms are not decorations.
Because the middle is filled with many modern materials that can absorb sound waves, it can play a very good sound insulation role.
Moreover, these small dark rooms only have doors and no windows. Once people are locked in, there will be no light inside once the doors are locked.
People of this era may not understand what it means to be in a small space with no light or sound.
It doesn't take long for people's will to weaken, collapse, and some even go insane.
This is also the time when a person is most vulnerable.
Extorting confessions through torture at this time is the best test of a person's loyalty.
I remember reading a report in my previous life. During the war, some people used this method for spy activities.
Some countries even specialize in this kind of insane punishment. It is said that no one has ever been able to stay in a dark room for more than seven days without breaking down.
Of course, Yang Fan didn't want these guards who were finally trained to be useless.
Therefore, I just planned to let these people stay there for two or three days to weaken the will of this group of people and achieve the purpose of my own investigation.
And Xue Rengui heard that Yang Fan was going to lock the guards he had trained so hard in a small dark room for a few days.
Xue Rengui obviously didn't believe that this could test their loyalty and even make them obedient.
In Xue Rengui's opinion, using Yang Fan's training methods and adding his own ancestral military skills.
These trained guards are the bravest and most loyal, and there is no possibility of rebellion. This is where his confidence lies.
Therefore, even if Xue Rengui was killed, he would not believe that these guards would rebel because of their weak will.
He even went to the small dark room to personally guard it, ostensibly to guard it to prevent the guards from escaping.
In fact, Xue Rengui wanted to see what was so special about these small dark rooms that made Yang Fan so confident.
After all, Yang Fan is a man of great wisdom and talent, so he should not be aimless.
But Xue Rengui also couldn't figure it out. He thought Yang Fan thought of these guards too simply!
It is simply unrealistic to really think that arresting these guards for a few days will make them 'rebel'.
However, it only took half a day to make Xue Rengui secretly frightened, even a little frightened and terrified.
Because there are nearly a hundred small dark rooms, and if you listen carefully, you will hear faint beast-like roars.
This voice was very deep, mixed with pain and despair, and Xue Rengui couldn't help but feel goosebumps rising from the bottom of his heart.
What on earth did these guards go through in the house to make such painful sounds?
He also observed carefully and found that there was nothing fatal inside.
It has only been half a day, are these small dark rooms really so scary?
There's obviously nothing outstanding about it...
Could it be that my young master can still achieve immortality?
Thinking of this, Xue Rengui couldn't help but shudder.
But Xue Rengui couldn't understand how a small space could be so scary.
But to the people in the small dark room, the past few days seemed like months.
It only took half a day to drive half of the people into madness.
As time went by, the sounds coming from these small dark rooms made Xue Rengui feel more and more creepy and frightened.
Xue Rengui even ran in and stayed for a while, but after only a few hours, his face turned pale, as if he was seriously ill.
Only then did I fully understand the power of this little dark room.
However, Xue Rengui is really good at training. After a few sessions, only four guards were removed.
Five days later…
Inside the Junyangfang training ground.
Dozens of guards stood quietly, but they were wearing some weird clothes.
All the guards stared straight ahead, because Yang Fan was on the commanding platform in front.
Looking at this group of majestic guards, Yang Fan could only describe this group of people with words like, 'They are as fast as the wind, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the shadows, and as moving as thunder'.
As expected, such a big investment was not in vain, and Yang Fan suddenly felt proud.
He said with some excitement: "I'm glad that everyone can pass the final test. In the future, you will become the last shield of Yang Mansion, and Yang Mansion will also be your home. I believe that through everyone's efforts, our life will be better." , as the old saying goes, when there is meat, we all eat together, and when there are difficulties, we all bear together..."
"Thank you, Master..." The ninety guards shouted in unison, spreading like air waves with excited expressions.
Isn’t training hard just for this moment?
Food is the most important thing for the people, and other noble ideals have nothing to do with them.
Having enough food and meat to eat was what they cared about most, and Yang Fan's words really spoke to their hearts.
Naturally, the names also changed.
Yang Fan is full of pride. This group of people will serve as his solid backing and will provide him with a solid guarantee for overcoming all obstacles in this era.
