"Runqing, come, sit down!"

Although Liang Shilang didn't get up, he still waved to Tang Fan and motioned him to sit down.

Tang Fan didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but he still saluted respectfully before sitting down slowly.

When a subordinate sees a superior, and a minister sees the emperor, it is also important to sit down. You can't just sit down like that, but only halfway, in case the emperor or superior wants to ask questions, you can stand up and answer at any time.

Seeing Tang Fan's decent behavior, Liang Shilang's smile deepened: "I heard that you went to Gongxian this time and found the tomb of Gonghou in the Spring and Autumn Period under the Mausoleum of Emperor Song?"

Probably after, Tang Fan and the others had already written detailed articles before they returned to Beijing, and they had them sent back to the capital quickly, and submitted to the cabinet for review. It was Tang Fan and Suizhou's direct superiors who let them know about it.

Therefore, Liang Shilang knew something about Tang Fan's trip.

Tang Fan said: "Exactly, during this trip, Xiaguan and others also discovered the Henan branch of the White Lotus Sect and arrested a group of demons. The altar master Li Man died unexpectedly while dealing with me, and his concubine Chen Shi has been escorted to Beijing, temporarily under the supervision of the Beizhen Fusi, just waiting for the information of the White Lotus Sect Yu Dang to be pried out of her mouth, and there are a number of Bailian Sect's minions, who are being temporarily managed by the Jinyiwei Henan Prefectural Guard, and will be able to enter Beijing later. "

Liang Shilang nodded casually, his focus didn't seem to be on this, after listening to Tang Fan, he didn't say much, just asked another thing: "I heard that you have seized a lot of treasures from the White Lotus Cultists? "

Tang Fan said: "Actually, there are not many. They are all gold, silver and jade beads of various colors. The lower official has ordered someone to count and make a book. Today is to send the book to the Lord."

Liang Shilang's eyes lit up and looked at the booklet that had been in Tang Fan's hands: "Is that the treasure book of Gonghou's tomb?"

Tang Fan presented the booklet: "Exactly, please take a look at the ministry."

Liang Shilang took the booklet and immediately turned it over. The more he turned back, the brighter his eyes became.

No wonder he had such a reaction. There are many treasures in Gonghou's tomb, but some of them have been eroded and weathered over the years and have become dull, like some gold foils pasted on lacquerware, which have long lost their original color, but It's not that there are no well-preserved ones. These really valuable items were all counted by Li Man and the others when they were transferred. Later, Tang Fan asked Cheng Wen and the others to count them again, just to determine the value of this batch of things. Down, these treasures are estimated to be worth about 100,000 taels, which is about one-tenth of this year's financial revenue of Daming.

This is a lot of money, especially if it is a windfall, and it doesn't cost anything at all. Everyone is staring at it, especially Liang Shilang, who expects this wealth to show up in front of the cabinet and the emperor.

Maybe as soon as the emperor is happy, the day when he is officially promoted to the minister will come to an end.

Tang Fan is such a smart person. He knows the elegance by hearing the songs. From the time the other party asked for the booklet, he understood why Liang Shilang was uncharacteristically and so polite to himself.

He dared not to forget the death of the student, but just felt that the credit was more important than the student.

Tang Fan laughed in his heart, and then heard Liang Shilang happily say: "Okay! Good! You have gained a lot from this trip. I will report to Your Majesty and wait for you to show merit. As for those belongings, they should also be brought to the capital. stop?"

Tang Fan: "Yes, the property has been divided into two boxes and escorted into Beijing."

Liang Shilang: "What about those two boxes, are they outside the punishment department now?"

Tang Fan: "When the lower official entered the capital, in order to prevent the night, he handed over the box to the envoy of Sui Zhen. At this time, the envoy of Sui Zhen must have entered the palace to report the matter."

Liang Shilang's expression changed slightly, he stared at Tang Fan for a while, as if he wanted to see the intentional clue from the other's face.

It's a pity that he was disappointed, Tang Fan was still respectful and courteous, he also stood up when he spoke, his hands folded his sleeves, and his head was slightly lowered, waiting for Shangguan to speak.

What else can Liang Shilang say

Can he say that you can't be sent to the palace, and should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment first, and then I will send you? This property was not included in the tax. If Tang Fan was brought to the Department of Punishment first, it would be because he was knowledgeable and knowledgeable. If he didn't, it would be reasonable. Liang Shilang couldn't blame him for it.

"You did a good job, very good." Liang Shilang looked at him for a while, and then said slowly, there was no anger in Sven's words.

But Tang Fan knew that the more he was like this, the more he was angry.

Sure enough, after a while, Liang Shilang said: "Yin Yuan incarnated as a fifth-rank member, but died in Gonghou's tomb, and even the corpse was not brought out. As the official envoy, what can you explain?"

Tang Fan said: "Butang Rongqi, the situation was critical at the time, the monster in the tomb was extremely vicious, and Xiaguan and Sui Zhenfu and others were fighting against it. I didn't expect that Yin Yuanwailang would suddenly run out, and he didn't. It was expected that there was a tomb-suppressing beast outside the door, which led to the unfortunate death of Yin Yuanwailang. Later, the white lotus sect had already placed gunpowder in the tomb and blew up Gonghou's tomb together with the underground palace of Songling. I will wait for Qianxin. It took a lot of hardship to escape, and the road below was completely blocked, and several Jin Yiwei were buried there, unable to find the body."

Liang Shilang said: "I've seen what you said in the article. But there are a lot of suspicious things in it, and it doesn't make sense anyway. For example, the monster you mentioned is unheard of, very absurd, don't say it. I don't believe it, and the cabinet will not believe it. As an official envoy, you have the responsibility to protect your subordinates, but you let them die there. What's your explanation?"

What else could Tang Fan explain? He could only plead guilty: "Xiaguan did have the fault of poor protection."

No matter how Yin Yuanhua died, Liang Shilang was right about one thing. Tang Fan was the chief of the trip, and everyone obeyed his orders. No matter what the reason was, if something went wrong, Tang Fan would be responsible.

To put it horribly, this time he was just—the mud fell into his crotch, not shit but shit.

Liang Shilang nodded and said nothing more: "You have worked hard for this trip. Go back and rest well. It's not too late to come back tomorrow."

Tang Fan said respectfully, "Thank you for your kindness, the subordinate retire."

The two politely said something, and there was absolutely no scene of arrogance like Tang Fan imagined, but Tang Fan knew very well that he gave the credit for donating the property to Suizhou, and "killed" Yin Yuanhua's life. , Liang Shilang didn't get any benefit, and he definitely won't let him go.

After leaving Liang Shilang's duty room, Tang Fan saw Peng Yichun's head sticking out of the duty room next door and beckoned to him.

It is a bit funny that the dignified right servant of the Punishment Department made such sneaky actions.

Tang Fan was amused and walked over there.

As soon as he entered the duty room, he was pulled in by Peng Shilang.

"How's it going?" Peng Yichun asked.

"I'm afraid it doesn't matter." Tang Fan shook his head and sighed, briefly recounting the conversation between the two.

"Hey!" Peng Yichun said, "Why are you so confused! You know that he is waiting for this property to show his merit, can't you bring the property to the Ministry of Punishment, why is it cheaper for Jinyiwei!"

Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "Butang, do you think Liang Shilang will use this property as a blessing for the punishment department? I'm afraid not, he will definitely go to the cabinet to show his merits to the first assistant, and then meet the first assistant. Enter the palace together and dedicate this treasure to Your Majesty."

Peng Yichun was speechless.

Tang Fan said: "That's why I can't do this. If I get two points for this time, Jinyiwei will get the remaining eight points, and the money is all they exchanged for their lives, how can anyone take credit for it? Take it away? Instead of that, I might as well offend Liang Shilang and let the brothers of Jin Yiwei show their faces in front of His Majesty."

He then said sincerely: "Xiaguan knows that the Ministry is a good intention, and does not want to see me being excluded from the Ministry, but this time Yin Yuanhua happened, and Liang Shilang is a person, he must hold grudges, even if it doesn't happen this time, He will definitely find a chance to attack."

Peng Yichun shook his head: "You've finished talking, what else can I say? Before Zhang Shangshu left, he said you were a good person and asked me to take care of you more. Now it's alright, as soon as you come back, I will send Liang Shilang to him. Offended in death, I'm afraid it won't be easy in the future!"

He took out a letter and handed it to Tang Fan: "This is what Zhang Shangshu asked me to pass to you before he left."

Tang Fan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Shangshu to leave a letter to him.

In the eyes of outsiders, Tang Fan has already been labeled as Zhang Ying, but in fact his relationship with Zhang Shangshu was not that close. A long talk before.

After saying goodbye to Peng Yichun, Tang Fan couldn't help opening the letter as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the punishment department.

The letter was written in Zhang Ying's handwriting. He told Tang Fan that he went to Nanjing because he offended Shou Fu Wan'an. When he left, the Minister of Punishment would definitely be filled by Liang Wenhua, so that he would try not to offend Liang Wenhua. , keep a low profile, keep a low profile, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and see the sky, and there will be great achievements in the future, so there is no need to rush into conflict with Liang Wenhua. Let him not think that there is no hope in Daming's officialdom just because justice is buried now, and it is impossible to do anything.

Zhang Ying also took herself as an example, saying that she had made a wrong step at the beginning, so that she had been mediocre for more than ten years. Fortunately, it was not too late to repent, and she advised Tang Fan to learn from it and stay upright. , to be a good official who is economical and economical for the people.

Tang Fan is not someone who is easily moved, but looking at the letter, his eyes were a little wet.

He didn't have a deep relationship with Zhang Ying. Before that, he once thought that Zhang Ying was a mediocre official like outsiders said, but now he seems to be able to see an old man's life through this letter. heart.

Zhang Ying seemed to be persuading and encouraging Tang Fan, but in fact, she regretted the years she had buried, and regretted that she had bowed her head to reality for the sake of official position.

But the difference is that many people repent in their hearts and forget it, whether it is time to bow to reality or continue to bow to reality.

Zhang Ying made up for it with her own behavior. This courage is not possessed by everyone.

No matter what outsiders say about this "Clay Sculpture Book", at this moment, Tang Fan can only respect him.

He looked up to the south.

At this time, Zhang Ying should have also arrived in Nanjing.

Tang Fan took a deep breath, put away the letter, and strode home.

———

Since Tang Fan declared the property worth 100,000 taels in the official document, the cabinet and the Ministry of Punishment have all waited with wide-eyed eyes, never expecting Tang Fan to be executed first and then to file, so that Suizhou would directly hand the things over to the emperor .

Here I want to say that Daming has an inner treasury and a treasury. The money in the treasury belongs to the court, and the emperor basically doesn’t want to use it. The money in the inner treasury is the emperor’s private money. Because Emperor Taizu devolved financial power, the central government received very little money every year, and even less was allocated to the six ministries. Therefore, once the emperor wanted to extend his hand to the treasury, everyone would desperately persuade him. The emperor thought it was troublesome. To build palaces, to make alchemy, to reward palace concubines, and to pay salaries to eunuchs and court ladies, all of them are only taken from the inner treasury.

Although these are not expressly stipulated, the emperor is generally more conscious, but now the several patriarchs are not strong people, and they are still intrigued with each other, so they need the emperor to support them, so they have to curry favor with the emperor, and sometimes the emperor's inner If the money in the treasury is not enough, Wan Shoufu will also allocate money from the treasury to the emperor.

This time, Wan Shoufu also wanted to donate the 100,000 taels of property that Tang Fan and the others got to the emperor, in order to please the emperor, and the money did not come from the state's fiscal revenue, nor would it be given to the emperor. Invited a hundred officials to scold.

As a result, they did not pass by him at all, and were sent directly to the palace!

Well, in addition to being an imperial envoy, who made Suizhou have two other identities. They are Jinyiwei and are not under the jurisdiction of the cabinet. They are relatives of the Queen Mother Zhou, and it is more convenient to enter the palace than the first assistant.

Wan An had no choice but to pinching his nose to recognize it, scolding Sui Zhou for a long time in his heart.

But the emperor does not need to take care of his mood. For the emperor, as long as he has money, it is a good thing.

He called Wan An over just because Chad had a large amount of property and was very happy. He wanted to share the happiness with the first assistant, and by the way, he would talk about the reward to Tang Fan, Suizhou and the others.

Wan'an has three out of sixty years this year. According to regulations, officials over sixty should retire, but there are always exceptions.

Age is not a problem for those who can stay, and age is just an excuse for those who cannot stay.

Emperor Chenghua asked his servant to bring a stool to give Wan An a seat, and after a couple of greetings, he said, "Isn't Yuan Weng also heard about the matter that the Ministry of Punishment and Jin Yiwei went to Gongxian to handle the case?"

Wan An said, "I also heard about it."

Emperor Chenghua smiled and said: "This trip is really thrilling. Even people like Guangchuan who are not good at words can tell me that they are scared. It can be seen that they are born and die, and they have made this great contribution!"

What a great credit, isn't it just sending a lot of money to the emperor

Wan An slandered, showing a look of emotion: "Isn't it true, the official document they sent, the minister also read, it is really thrilling, but the tomb-suppressing beast, the minister has never heard of it, I just don't know how big the world is, where is it? Such a shocking monster?"

He originally wanted to tell Tang Fan and Suizhou quietly, but at this time Liang Fang, who was standing behind the emperor, gave him a wink, and when he heard the emperor call Suizhou intimately, he thought of it. The emperor attached great importance to that Suizhou, and then the conversation changed, following the emperor's preference, and chatting about the tomb-suppressing beast.

Emperor Chenghua smiled and said, "You are the chief assistant of the cabinet. You have read the memorials all day long, so it's no wonder you don't understand this kind of strange and wild news. After I heard Guangchuan say it, I went to read those ancient books and strange stories." "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Sou Shen Ji" and "Taiping Guang Ji" were all missing, and Wynn reminded me later."

He deliberately stopped, as if trying to sell a trick.

As a qualified first assistant, Wan An quickly showed an expression of "I really want to know": "Old minister is ignorant, dare to ask Your Majesty, where is the source of that monster?"

Emperor Chenghua was full of appetite, then smiled and said: "It's okay to tell you, it is in the "Shu Yi Ji" written by Liang Renfang of the Southern Dynasty, this thing is called a snake, it is like a snake but not a snake, it has scales and no horns. It is the predecessor of Jiao!"

Wan An let out a snort, and felt a little disapproval in his heart, but his face showed an expression of sudden realization: "It turns out that it is this thing. After listening to His Majesty's words, the old minister thinks it really looks like it!"

Emperor Chenghua was excited: "What kind of image, it is originally! Earlier, the national master Guangshan told me that there are all kinds of wonders in this world, there are monsters, there are gods and Buddhas, and there are mortals who keep practicing hard, and eventually achieve a positive fruit, soaring in the daytime. Yes, I was skeptical at first, but now that I have proved that there are dragons in the world, there are also dragons and dragons, so the things about the gods and monsters must be true!"

Only then did Wan An know where the emperor's excitement was coming from. He dared to feel that the existence of 険 indirectly proved the existence of immortals, and he was motivated to eat pills and cultivate.

Thinking of this, Wan An smiled and said, "Your Majesty can just listen to the anecdote, but you don't need to go into it."

He set himself apart first, lest these words spread out, and those officials would say that they had encouraged the emperor to do nothing serious.

It's okay to be an old man of paper paste, as long as he thinks of another nickname "Xiandi Xianggong" that was given to him by the public, Wan An feels angry.

Emperor Chenghua laughed: "Okay, I won't embarrass you, this time they did such a big job, and they deserved to be rewarded, that Tang Fan, I also have some impressions, the Han family had an accident earlier, and the imperial concubine was involved. Thanks to him finding out the truth, and the concubine's innocence, he is really a cadre. According to Yuan Weng, how can we promote him this time? I remember that there is still a position in the Duchayuan, and he was mentioned as Zuo Yudu. How is the envoy?"

This is the position of the fourth rank. When he was as young as Tang Fan, he was still working as a junior official in Sesame!

Wan An couldn't help being jealous for a while, but his face was calm. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "This old minister didn't intend to disturb His Majesty with such trivial matters, but since His Majesty asked for more information, the old minister will have something to say."

"Talk, talk, when did I not let Yuan Weng speak!" Emperor Chenghua was very easy-going to his close and liked ministers, and seldom used the emperor's air to oppress them, and even gave enough to several patriarchs respect.

Wan An took out a memorial from his sleeve and presented it: "This is a memorial for Fu Yan's impeachment against Tang Fan in the criminal justice case."

Liang Fang, who was behind the emperor, stepped forward, took the memorial in his hand, and took it back to the emperor.

After reading the memorial, Emperor Chenghua said in surprise: "He impeached Tang Fan for taking his life and causing his subordinates to die? I have seen the official document submitted by the cabinet, doesn't it mean that this incident was an accident? If the monster is really As for Shuijing, it's no wonder Tang Fan and the others can't save people!"

Wan An said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Yin Yuanhua was originally a civil servant. Tang Fan knew this, and he put his subordinates in danger. One of them. Second, as the official envoy of this trip, he should have the responsibility to protect his subordinates. , if instead of punishment, it will be rewarded, it will encourage such an atmosphere. Third, the old minister heard that the officer who died this time had some personal grudges with Tang Fan when he was in the punishment department. "

Emperor Chenghua frowned: "Weng Yuan means that Tang Fan is avenging his personal revenge in public?"

Wan An shook his head: "The old minister didn't see it with his own eyes, so I can't make this conclusion. It's just groundless, not necessarily without reason. If it's a true gentleman, how could such a rumor spread?"

The lethality of these words is too strong, and even Emperor Chenghua pondered for a while after hearing it.

Emperor Chenghua turned his head and asked, "Liang Fang, isn't your godson Shang Ming in charge of Dongchang? Did he tell you about Tang Fan?"

Eunuchs are not allowed to engage in politics. This is a rule set by Emperor Taizu, but if the emperor takes the initiative to ask questions, naturally he is not allowed to do politics.

Liang Fang was originally standing next to him as a wooden man, and he wouldn't speak if the emperor didn't ask him, so he stepped forward and said with a soft smile, "This Tang Fan is just a fifth-rank official, and he's not an important person, how about Shang Ming? I will mention it to the slaves!"

Emperor Chenghua laughed: "That's true!"

"It's just," Liang Fang said again at this time, "after Tang Fan's meritorious service last time, the concubine admired him very much, and His Majesty also praised this man, so the slave servant paid a little attention to him, Just in case your Majesty's inquiry. It was only when the servants inquired that they found out that Tang Fan has had a mediocre relationship with his colleagues in the department since he joined the punishment department."

A master who has made a slander does not need to directly say how someone is not good, just like now, Liang Fang is just an understatement, not even answering the emperor's question directly, but he can let the emperor understand the implied message.

The emperor would think, if you have a bad relationship with one person, it may be the other person's problem, but if you have a bad relationship with everyone, it must be your problem.

Since Tang Fan has flaws in his character, it just happened to answer what Wan An just said, Yin Yuanhua's death might have something to do with him.

Such people, of course, cannot be reused.

After staying by the emperor's side for a long time, and seeing many masters who kill people without using a knife, Liang Fang is naturally very skilled.

But Eunuch Liang didn't know Tang Fan, so why couldn't he get along with him

Because his godson, Shang Ming, is the master of Dongchangchang, and he is incompatible with Wang Zhi of the West Factory, and this Tang Fan has a good relationship with Wang Zhi. I heard that he often advises him. Such a person can be eliminated by the way. is the best.

What's more, Eunuch Liang didn't work in vain. Liang Shilang sent five hundred taels to Eunuch Liang in advance through Wan Shoufu.

A word worth five hundred taels, this business is really worth it.

Chenghua Emperor really frowned: "If this is the case, this Tang Fan is really useless. According to Yuan Weng, how should this person be dealt with?"

Wan An said: "It is undeniable that Tang Fan contributed a large amount of money to His Majesty this time, and he has contributed a lot, but he must also be responsible for Yin Yuanhua's death. for the people."

Emperor Chenghua hesitated: "Will it be too heavy?"

Wan An said: "One thing is another, as long as his official position is still there, others will think that this kind of behavior of harassing colleagues is also a way to get promoted. Over time, it is easy to bring a bad atmosphere. What's more, this person is not good enough to be an official. If His Majesty is not satisfied, he can be dismissed from his official position, and then he can be given gold and silver as a reward, so that the merits and demerits will be equalized."

Emperor Chenghua nodded: "It doesn't matter, Yuan Weng is the old Chengchi's words, just do what you want!"

He was only aroused by this case, and Tang Fan's outstanding performance in the case of Huidong Palace made Emperor Chenghua leave a good impression on him.

But now this not-so-good impression has been destroyed by the words of Wan An and Liang Fang, the emperor will not be too concerned about the fate of a fifth-rank official.

He revealed this in a few words, and he talked to Wan An about other things.

Wan An presented some of the memorials drafted by the cabinet and reported it to the emperor. After the two communicated with each other, the emperor immediately put political affairs aside and asked about things he was more interested in, such as how to use medicinal herbs. Helping with things in the house.

According to the normal concept, as the prime minister of a country, it is time to stand up at this time, and righteously persuade the emperor not to indulge in this kind of lewd magic.

However, Wan An actually communicated with the emperor with great interest. The two shared the same interests, chatted for a long time, and even exchanged a tacit smile when they left.

Even Liang Fang watched from the sidelines, and felt that Wan An was too inappropriate to be the first assistant.

The communication between the ruler and the ministers was a little short today, but after only half an hour, the emperor said he was tired and asked Wan An to retire first.

As usual, Liang Fang, on the emperor's order, sent Wan An out of the Qianqing Palace.

The two walked slowly, Wan An smiled at Liang Fang: "Thank you father-in-law for today's matter."

Liang Fang chuckled lightly, but said straightforwardly: "The goods and money have been received, Yuan Weng is not welcome."

Wan An was a little surprised when he saw the person walking in front of him: "Why is this person entering the palace again?"

Liang Fang smiled and said: "Look at what you said, His Majesty has always come to visit the important envoys, and he has been very curious about the Gonghou tomb in the past two days. No, yesterday's question was not enough, let's continue today!"

No wonder the emperor was in a hurry to drive him away, Wan Anxin thought, but he had no contact with Suizhou, and he attacked Tang Fan before, but only at the request of Liang Shilang.

After a while, Sui Zhou had followed the lead servant to the two of them.

"I have seen Lord Shoufu, Eunuch Liang." Suizhou cupped his hands.

He was wearing a flying fish suit with gorgeous embroidery patterns. In the sunlight, the gold and silver threads shone brightly, and with that stern expression, Rao Wanan seemed to be crushed by him.

Wan An subconsciously took two steps back, and then he realized that he was majestic, but he stepped back in front of a five-tier thousand households.

Seeing that neither Sui Zhou nor Liang Fang seemed to notice this detail, Wan An coughed lightly and smiled slightly: "It turned out to be the envoy of Sui Zhen, are you preparing to see him?"

Suizhou: "Yes."

Concise and concise, no nonsense.

Wan An felt bored. He hated dealing with such ignorant wooden people the most, so he smiled and said, "Then go in quickly, don't make Your Majesty wait too long!"

Sui Zhou nodded towards the two of them, and then strode towards the Qianqing Palace.

The Chenghua Emperor saw Suizhou coming, and he was even more happy than seeing Wan'an. For no other reason, the emperor was a filial son. The Queen Mother Zhou liked Suizhou, so the emperor naturally followed Wu and Wu, and regarded Suizhou as a As a family member.

"Come on, Guangchuan, sit down! After I heard you talk about the tomb-suppressing beast yesterday, I went to read the books, and I really found the monster you mentioned. Its name is water hyena, right? "Emperor Chenghua laughed.

Suizhou said: "I don't know anything about this, but Master Tang also guessed it."

Hearing Tang Fan's name, Emperor Chenghua seemed to remember what he was discussing with Wan An just now, and his smile narrowed slightly.

"Guangchuan, you have done a great job this time, have you thought about what reward you want?"

Suizhou said: "I have never thought about it, and it is up to Your Majesty to make the decision."

As the saying goes, if you like a person, you can look at him wherever you like. Emperor Chenghua is like this now. Suizhou's reticence is not regarded as rude by him. A flatterer, why should Emperor Chenghua treat Suizhou differently, what he likes is the decisiveness of Suizhou.

Chenghua Emperor smiled and said: "You did a good job in the Zhenfu Division, I will talk to Yuan Bin when I look back, don't let you hang the title of a thousand households again, and just be promoted to the Zhenfu Envoy, but this is what you deserve. Yes, it’s not a reward, so let’s make you an earl, how about that?”

Only then did Sui Zhou look surprised, got up and said, "Please take back your order, the minister can't afford it!"

Emperor Chenghua: "Why can't you afford it? The treasury has no money now, and I am worried about where to get the money for alchemy. The money you sent just solved my urgent need. Great work!"

The corner of Suizhou's mouth twitched, and he sent the belongings of Gonghou's tomb, not for the emperor's alchemy.

But what does the emperor want to take it for, and how can he stop it

Then I heard Emperor Chenghua say: "You don't have to be afraid, the title that I am conferring on you is Liu Jue, there is no iron coupon, if you want to earn a hereditary title, you will have to work hard in the future, the Queen Mother and I are both I have high hopes for you, don't let us down!"

Seeing Emperor Chenghua looking at him with a smile, Suizhou knew that the emperor's idea had been made, so he no longer refused, thanked him first, and said, "Actually, this minister is only a deputy, and he can do limited things, thanks to many things. For Tang Langzhong to be the center of the dispatch, if you think about the credit, it should be Tang Langzhong who is the first."

Emperor Chenghua waved his hand: "I already know about Tang Fan. You don't need to say more, I have my own ideas. I have something else to ask you."

Suizhou didn't know that Emperor Chenghua had already made a decision on Tang Fan's whereabouts before, so after hearing this, it was naturally difficult to ask further questions, so he said, "I know everything."

Emperor Chenghua: "Yuan Bin is very old, I intend to let Wantong go back to take charge of Jinyiwei, what do you think?"

Suizhou remembered what Tang Fan said earlier, and couldn't help sighing at his foresight, and said, "Your Majesty Shengming, this minister has an unkind request."

Emperor Chenghua: "You said."

Suizhou: "Yuan Commander has been through two dynasties, and his loyalty is commendable, and his ministers admire him very much. Although he is at the age of taking care of his life, he previously served in Jinyiwei for more than two years, and he will take care of the top and bottom properly, even if there is no credit, There is also hard work, and I dare to ask Your Majesty to issue an decree to comfort Commander Yuan."

Emperor Chenghua sighed: "You are right, Yuan Bin is indeed loyal, but the emperor owes him a lot!"

When he talked about the late emperor, Suizhou could only be silent, but he heard the emperor say: "You are right, I really should have said something to him, and it should be a compensation for him over the years."

Suizhou cupped his hands: "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Chenghua said with a smile: "It's said that people take tea to cool, you have only been with Yuan Bin for two years, and now that he is leaving, you are willing to say such words for him, it is really rare!"

Suizhou replied: "I admire Sir Yuan's sincerity towards the late emperor, and I would like to follow his example and take Yuan Wenzhi's heart into consideration for His Majesty!"

When Emperor Chenghua heard the words, he was very moved. He walked over to help him up, and laughed, "Sui Guangchuan, I have high hopes for you. With your ability, I will definitely do better than Yuan Bin in the future! You! I have also thought about the title of my father. I originally wanted to be called Gu Ningbo, but now I will call it Ding Anbo! May you be loyal and secure and secure the country!"
