As soon as they saw these two people appearing, the expressions of Wan'an and Wantong changed in unison.
Wantong took the lead, and said sadly: "Tang Pavilion is so powerful, who is the one who hides evil intentions? This manuscript is what His Majesty said personally, and it was circulated by the ministers. I only came here on an order. It is said that the evil intentions are hidden! Ignoring the emperor's orders is the real hidden evil intentions! Whoever wants to be such a chaotic minister and thief, the embroidered spring knife in my hand will not be spared!"
With a loud sigh, he drew his sword and unsheathed it!
It seems that in order to respond to the leader, the rest of the Jinyiwei also pulled out their sabres in unison. The room was a bit cold again, and the murderous aura rushed toward the face. In these scenes, the expressions are all changing, and it is false to say that there is no anxiety in the heart.
To say that Liu Ji is not a fledgling child, he just signed his name in a daze, a large part of the reason is that he was deterred by the pressure on the scene.
However, this was also because his heart was already swaying, and as soon as he was forced by external forces, he naturally followed his instincts.
When Xu Pu just refused to sign, he was also under a lot of pressure, and he was not good at arguing with others. If Tang Fan and the others didn't come again, maybe he would really only be half-coerced to sign his name in the end. .
So the moment he saw Tang Fan and the others appear, Xu Pu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the face of Wantong's aggressiveness, Tang Fan showed unrelenting calm: "Secrets are highly confidential, officials and other people are not allowed to enter without authorization, and offenders will be punished. Is it possible that the commander Wan can't understand the hanging outside? Character?"
Wantong sneered: "So what! I came here on the orders of the emperor, who can stop me?"
Tang Fan's tone was indifferent: "After seven years of orthodoxy, Wenyuan Pavilion has become a place for ministers to work, and even when His Majesty arrives, someone must be notified in advance. What person or thing gave you the illusion that you are enough to surpass the emperor. above?"
Wantong said angrily, "Tang Fan, don't mess around, I came here with His Majesty's approval!"
Tang Fan sternly said: "You have passed His Majesty's approval, don't tell me your subordinates have also passed His Majesty's approval! Don't say that you don't even know the rules, so don't let these people quit!"
Since her sister became a noble concubine, when has Wantong been yelled at in person like this
He was stunned for a moment, his face immediately turned blue and red, and the hand holding the handle of the knife tightened, as if he wanted to lift it up to give Tang Fan a shot.
But if this knife goes down, it's hard to say whether Tang Fan is dead or not. Wantong dares to attack Zaifu in Wenyuan Pavilion, and it is estimated that his sister can't keep him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wan An hurriedly said, "I have something to say..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Fan, who looked at one of the Jin Yiwei who was brought in by Wantong: "Xi Bo, you shouldn't be on duty today, why are you here?"
The other party is obviously a civil official, and he has no weapons in his hands, but when he was swept away by the sharp eyes like a sword, Xibo couldn't help but take a step back, and then he reacted awkwardly: "Subordinate, subordinate..."
Before he could come up with a reason, Tang Fan had already looked at the other person, narrowed his eyes slightly, and called the other person's name: "Xia Rui."
Xia Rui subconsciously said: "This subordinate is on duty today!"
Tang Fan sneered: "I didn't say you were not on duty! Are you from Nanzhen Fusi? When did Nanzhen Fusi start to intervene in the internal defense?"
Xia Rui was at a loss for words.
Before entering the pavilion, Tang Fan had been in and out of Jinyiweidu commanding envoys, and naturally recognized most of the faces, and then called out the names of several people, asking them why they appeared here.
Suizhou's prestige in Jinyiwei is very high. If it wasn't for Wantong, he would have been a legitimate commander now. If so, these people also know that Tang Fan has a good relationship with Suizhou. When they saw Tang Fan, he asked, Just thinking of Suizhou's methods, he couldn't help but feel a little bit worried.
Wantong was about to die of anger, he was the commander of Jin Yiwei, how could his own words not be as effective as a pacifier in Tang Fan's mouth
Looking at the reactions of these Jin Yiwei, he really lost his old face!
Being disturbed by Tang Fan like this, the tense atmosphere at the scene has dissipated a bit, and Wantong naturally can't let him talk anymore.
He immediately took a step forward, and with his tall figure and the pressure of the long knife in his hand, he stared at Tang Fan and sneered, trying to make the other party timid.
"Tang Ge has a lot of nonsense. We are discussing business affairs, not for you to reminisce with Jin Yiwei! Since His Majesty asked you to pass the manuscripts, Tang Ge must understand His Majesty's intentions!"
After speaking, he reached out to grab Tang Fan's shoulder.
Wantong didn't mean to hurt Tang Fan, he was not stupid, he knew the consequences of his actions against the cabinet ministers, but since today's situation has developed to this point, he has to take advantage of his own momentum to quickly remove the joint name. It's up to you to get things done, otherwise everything you've done today will be in vain.
Tang Fan's response was not slow, he took a step back when the other party just stretched out his hand, and took the notebook on the table with one hand.
"Wantong, do you dare to go to His Majesty with me to confront him! His Majesty asked you to send a handwritten note, did you bring a large group of Jinyiwei to threaten the cabinet ministers! I want to see who gave you this Great courage!"
His voice was fierce, and the smile he usually wore on his face faded, but he did not have a chilling courage.
Liu Jian also said loudly: "Yes, Wantong, even if His Majesty asks you to send a note, it is impossible for you to bring so many people in! Hurry up and step back!"
It was too late to speak, and Liu Ji took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, got up and copied the copy of the transcript that was originally placed in front of Xu Pu, and then with a hiss, it was torn in half!
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes shifted from Tang Fan and Wantong to him, and they stared dumbfoundedly at the two-division in Liu Ji's hand.
Wan An was even more furious, and even shouted Liu Ji's nickname: "Liu Mian, are you going to die!"
Liu Ji said nonchalantly, "It's not His Majesty's handwritten note that I tore up, it's just a note. I accidentally slipped my hand, and I'm afraid Yuan Weng will have to rewrite it."
After saying that, he shoved the note with his own name into his arms.
Wan An was about to be stunned by this man's shamelessness!
A moment ago, the other party was still writing his name on it, but when Tang Fan made such a fuss, he actually went back on his word!
Even if you regret it, the dignified patriarch still has the face to do such a thing as tearing up the memorial in public!
Not only Wan An, but the others also stared blankly at Liu Ji without reacting at all.
Liu Mian's nickname is not for nothing. People who can be criticized by the officials for many years to be safe and sound must not be ordinary people.
In terms of thick-skinned, Liu Cifu said that he was the second, and no one dared to call himself the first in Daming.
As soon as he tore it apart, Wan An knew that the situation was over.
Like Liu Ji, the reason why he was fooled just now is that Wan An and the others are the first to attack, and the second is the pressure caused by Jin Yiwei beside him. This kind of thing can never be repeated. Once he wakes up, it is absolutely impossible. Do it for the second time, not to mention that Liu Ji has torn up all the co-signed memorials just now. This is the plan to completely deny the account.
As for Xu Pu, Tang Fan and Liu Jian are here, and it is even more impossible for him to give in.
All the advantages that Wan Dang painstakingly created today are considered to be wasted and gone.
Wan An's mood was a little gloomy for a while, he just sat down and didn't even want to say a word.
Wantong was in the same mood, he squeezed the handle of the knife tightly, wishing he could rush up and chop Liu Ji and Tang Fan into ten sections and eight sections.
But reason told him that he couldn't do it, so he endured it extremely hard, the fat on his face shook and shook, and finally he could only blow out rough air from his nostrils, turned around and left.
The boss was gone, and the people he brought naturally quickly followed behind.
"Wait a minute!" Tang Fan said, "What did Commander Wan forget?"
Wantong sighed bitterly in his chest and couldn't let it out. Hearing this, he turned around and said in a vicious voice, "I forgot what!"
After many years, the people in the DPRK and China have already reached such a consensus: Wan Guifei is in one day, and the Wan Party will not collapse. As the core of Wan Guifei, Wan Guifei's younger brother, Wantong, regardless of the big disaster, as long as If he doesn't want to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and plot to rebel, the emperor will not do anything to him, and those who oppose them usually will not have a good end.
Therefore, even if everyone refuses to submit to the Wan Party, they always avoid it. If they can't provoke it, they will not provoke it. Like today, although the Wan Party has turned a victory and a loss, and its success has fallen short, Wantong is still the arrogant Wantong. Pass, not everyone can mess with it.
Everyone was very happy to be able to send the God of Plague away. Never thought that Tang Fan would take the initiative to provoke the God of Plague.
Xu Pu was a little worried, opened his mouth, and wanted to help Tang Fan to smooth things out, lest he offend Wantong, but when he saw Liu Jian was also looking at Wantong with a sullen face, he could only swallow what he said. Going down, he smiled bitterly to himself, feeling that he was too bullied too, no wonder Tang Fan and Liu Jian were both blocked out today, only he was put in, if he was forced to sign his name, but not like Liu Ji It's too cheeky to go back and regret it, and then you really dig a hole and bury yourself.
Thinking of this, he knew that Tang Fan's approach was the right one.
The dignified Saisuke has been bullied to the head. If he doesn't fight back, it will only make people feel cowardly and incompetent, and he still leads the ministers like this
Tang Fan raised his hand letter and said coldly: "Breaking into Wenyuan Pavilion without permission is the culprit, let alone rushing in with Jin Yiwei. If the cabinet can come here and leave if they want, ancestors Where is the law? Where is the court law?!"
Wantong stared at Tang Fan, his eyes showed a strong murderous intent.
At that moment, everyone had no doubt that if it was possible, he would have cut Tang Fan off with one knife.
Liu Jian has even taken a step forward, intending to step forward to stop him in the event of an emergency.
But Wantong still didn't do it in the end. Although he was not good-looking and relied on his sister to get his current status, he was not a fool without any scheming.
"Then what do you think?" He laughed angrily.
Tang Fan said indifferently: "Come with me to confront your Majesty, or to apologize to the elders present, you choose."
Wantong said word by word: "Elder Tang Ge, you are determined to oppose me Wantong, aren't you?"
Tang Fan shook his head: "I have no reason, why should I oppose you? In my position and in my political affairs, I just want to protect the face of the court and the cabinet. If today's incident spreads out, everyone will follow suit in the future. What should the commander be guilty of?"
Wantong was speechless, because Tang Fan pointed at his weakness.
This matter was planned by Wandang from the beginning. First, use the sky to create momentum, and then let Jixiao and Li Zisheng and others imply that the emperor abolished the prince, and then Wantong proposed to let the cabinet take the lead in this matter. To reduce the objection caused by the abolished prince, I will definitely agree. This is what Vantone has already negotiated with Wan'an and the others. When Vantone gets the emperor's approval, it will come over with the handbook, just to intimidate other non-profits. The cabinet minister of Wandang promised that he would bring a team of Jinyiwei over here.
And Tang Fan is holding on to this point. Even if the trouble comes to the emperor at that time, it will be a loss.
There was silence in the council room, and everyone looked at the two of them, especially Wantong.
The latter stared at Tang Fan, his scorching eyes as if to stare at a hole in him, but Tang Fan acted like he was nothing, his aura didn't drop at all, which made Wantong very kind of punching cotton. Powerlessness.
After a long stalemate, Wantong could only say in the end: "The lower official knows his mistake, please forgive me!"
His attitude of admitting mistakes was not much different from asking for debts, but it was the first time he could force Wantong to bow his head.
At that moment, everyone felt a subtle feeling.
Not to Wantong, but to Tang Fan.
You must know that in the cabinet, any cabinet minister's qualifications are higher than that of Tang Fan, but at the critical moment, it is he who maintains the majesty of the cabinet.
Wantong left after speaking, but before he left, he gave Tang Fan a stern look, and the resentment in his eyes was shocking enough.
Tang Fan didn't stop him this time, but let Jin Yiwei leave, and then joined Liu Jian to accuse the chief assistant for being late this morning.
Everyone's mind is still immersed in the matter just now, who will care whether Tang Fan and Liu Jian are late.
Wan An should have deeply hated Liu and Tang for ruining the good things of Wan Dang, but what's the point of talking about it now, the opportunity is fleeting, and if you miss it, you miss it.
In this way, a drastic change that might have caused an uproar was eliminated in this way, and by the time the other courtiers knew what happened in the cabinet this morning, the upheaval would have ended long ago.
Many people feel that the matter will not end here, and their hearts are inevitably apprehensive.
Tang Ge Lao, who was in the center of the whirlpool, but after returning from the palace, leisurely went to his sister's house to visit his little nephew, inspected his homework, and stayed at the Tang's house until Sui returned from the scatter. Zhou came to look for him, and then bid farewell to Tang Yu's mother and son and A-Dong and left.
With the ambiguous smiles on her sister and A-Dong's faces, Tang Fan reluctantly allowed them to make fun of them. Tang Yu and A-Dong didn't know what happened in the cabinet this morning, and they didn't know that the situation was tight inside and outside. To what extent, if he knew it, he probably wouldn't think that it was as simple as Suizhou just coming to pick up Tang Fan.
Tang Fan didn't want to worry his relatives. He was now equivalent to completely tearing his face with Wan Dang. Although things in the morning seemed majestic, even Wantong bowed his head to him. In fact, Wan Dang hated him to the core. Certainly won't let it go.
The next battle is already brewing.
After Wantong left the cabinet, the cabinet meeting could no longer be held, and then Tang Fan, Liu Jian and others took the handwritten note and entered the palace to sue the emperor against Wantong.
Because of the fact that Wantong is not doing it properly, not to mention the abolition of the crown prince, just rushing into the Wenyuan Pavilion with Jin Yiwei, it is easy to implement the truth, and the emperor can't excuse Wantong, so he has to do the opposite. After comforting a few cabinet ministers, and reprimanding Wantong, the handwritten matter naturally came to an end.
When such a thing happened, of course Sui Zhou was not idle.
Jinyiwei is not all under his control now, and a considerable number of people are still loyal to Wantong, which means that Suizhou and Wantong now each have half of the influence in Jinyiwei, and Suizhou has the upper hand.
But Jin Yiwei is not a one-word hall in Suizhou after all, because Wantong is a veritable commander, so he can mobilize his cronies to enter the palace in the morning.
After the emperor reprimanded Wantong, Suizhou took the opportunity to rectify Jin Yiwei again, which is why he appeared slightly haggard in front of Tang Fan at this moment.
"Have you eaten yet?" Tang Fan naturally took the lantern in his hand.
"I'm not hungry." Sui Zhou shook his head.
Tang Fan smiled and said, "Eat even if you're not hungry. It's been a long time since I went to that Wonton restaurant in the north of the city. Let's go, I also want to eat a bowl!"
Suizhou: "Didn't you just eat your fill?"
Tang Fan was pierced, and his face did not blushed and his heart skipped a beat: "Actually, I wasn't very full just now, I can eat some more scallion pancakes."
Suizhou: "..."
The wonton stall in the north of the city was still there, because it was getting late and the number of customers gradually decreased. Tang Fan had not come over for a while, but the stall owner still recognized him at a glance, and warmly greeted the two of them to sit down , and also asked, "Sir, it seems that your friend with a white face and beard may not be here for a long time?"
Tang Fan smiled and said, "Do you still remember him?"
The stall owner also laughed: "Of course I remember, the last time he was in a small here and had a fight with the people from Dongchang, but he was so majestic, it's hard to forget! Dongchang has always been arrogant, his fight was so good It's really heartwarming!"
Tang Fan said: "Now the East Factory has long since changed a person in charge, and he is very low-key and not arrogant anymore."
The stall owner wondered: "Really, no wonder people who haven't seen them for a long time have come here!"
He patted his forehead: "Look at my memory, I can't stop talking about it. The two of you want to eat something, and the little ones will do it!"
Tang Fan said, "Two bowls of wontons and a scallion pancake..."
Suizhou: "One bowl."
Tang Fan: "...that bowl and a half."
Suizhou: "One bowl."
Stall owner: "… "
In the end, Tang Fan was defeated: "One bowl is just one bowl, listen to him, but I want two scallion pancakes."
The stall owner laughed and said, "I'm sorry, Master Tang, the scallion pancakes are sold out."
Tang Fan: "..."
Suizhou looked at him as if he was slumped and listless, with a smile in his eyes, and patted Tang Fan's hand lightly: "Don't eat too much dinner, I'll give you one of my bowls later."
Tang Ge Lao gave full play to the spirit of bargaining: "Two."
Suizhou ignored him.
The stall owner came over with two cups of tea: "You two drink first, the wontons are already in the pot, and they will be ready soon!"
The tea is of average quality wild tea, and it must be incomparable to what they usually drink, but Suizhou didn't care, and took a sip. When he was running around outside, no matter how bad the environment was, let alone On a cup of rough tea.
"Wynn may be going to Nanjing." Suizhou said.
Tang Fan was stunned for a moment, and his original move to get the teacup stopped. "what happened?"
Suizhou: "He persuaded His Majesty not to listen to the celestial phenomenon, and then spoke for the Crown Prince. His Majesty was angry, and sent him to the Ming Xiaoling Tomb to be incense."
The so-called Sixiang is actually one of the positions of guarding the mausoleum, and is responsible for offering incense to the tablet every day.
The dignified chief eunuch, the chief eunuch, was sent to Nanjing to guard the mausoleum.
More importantly, everyone knows that Wynn is very protective of the prince, which is bound to deal a heavy blow to the power of the prince.
After Wynn, who else dares to speak for the prince
Tang Fan frowned: "What about Wang Zhi, is he all right?"
Sui Zhou shook his head: "It's fine for now, but the situation is not very good now, you have to be more careful."
Tang Fan nodded: "I see, so do you."
As he spoke, the hot wontons were brought up, and Tang Fan's expression immediately changed from serious and serious to salivating.
Suizhou had to pass a spoon with a wonton to his mouth.
Master Tang is still hypocritical: "You leave it alone, I'll eat it myself."
Sui Zhou directly turned the spoon and put it into his mouth.
Now Tang Fan didn't care if anyone was watching, he directly held the other person's wrist and sent the spoon to him, finally sending the twisted wonton to the entrance.
The umami of the chicken ravioli suddenly filled the palate, and Master Tang was finally satisfied, and he flattered Suizhou: "Give me another one?"
The latter didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he just lowered his head and started eating.
Unlike Tang Fan's An Zhiruosu, the emperor was in a very bad mood at the moment.
He had just woken up and had a nightmare.
The scene in his dream made it hard for him to let go, so that the weak emperor, regardless of the cold weather, left the bedroom with the dragon on the floor, and walked down the white jade stone steps, aimlessly in the long palace. walking on the road.
During the day, the towering palaces have all turned into undulating black behemoths, hiding in the darkness under the cover of night.
In the huge Forbidden City, if candles are lit everywhere, it will undoubtedly be a huge expense. In order to save costs, the palace people have to reduce the number of candles. From a distance, the light of the palace's stars makes the atmosphere more mysterious and profound. .
When Wynn was not here, no one dared to come forward to persuade him any more. A few small yellow clans could only follow the emperor around, and the winking ones had turned their heads quickly to inform the imperial concubine.
The emperor's movements are undoubtedly very unusual, but since he was superstitious in fairy alchemy, it is not the first time that such an unusual scene has been seen.
"Your Majesty..." Seeing him go farther and farther, Xiao Huangmen was trembling and couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade, but was blocked by the emperor's turn back.
The latter's eyes were extremely severe, and it didn't look like a sick person at all.
"Silence!" the emperor said, "I heard someone calling me..."
Where would someone call the emperor's name taboo, and where would someone call the emperor in the middle of the night
Xiao Huangmen was really frightened, and did not dare to make a sound.
However, seeing the emperor twisting and turning around, I don't know how far he walked, and Xiao Huangmen really heard someone in the corner ahead of him whispering.
He couldn't help but lighten his steps, held his breath, and when he heard the content of the words, his expression changed.
The author has something to say:
small theater:
Wan An: Liu Mian, how can you be so shameless? You can even tear up this kind of thing in public after signing it!
Liu Ji: How else would I be called Liu Mian, the Jianghu bandit number is not called for nothing, who has the thicker skin than me
Tang Fan: I called Suizhou my husband so that I could eat, so I called Wan An as my husband.
Liu Ji: …
Thank you Xiaomeng for your overlord tickets and nutrient solution, alright! !
A lot of local tyrants are going to be scared to pee! (⊙o⊙)
