Chapter 72

Views:

After that day, Tang Fan thought that Suizhou had just won the title and was happy, so he would wait two days before telling him about his dismissal.

It won't work if it drags on for a long time, otherwise, I don't have to go to the Yamen Dianmao every day, let alone Suizhou, A-Dong will also ask.

So when Suizhou Sanshi came back the next day, Tang Fan called him and A-Dong together and briefly explained the matter.

The little girl A-Dong is now fascinated by her eyes and ears. She has heard a lot about the doorways in the official circles and knows a little bit. She immediately jumped three feet high and dismissed all Tang Fan's bosses as bad people.

Seeing that he was about to blame the emperor on the head, Tang Fan slapped him on the back of the head, and suddenly stopped.

Tang Fan was both funny and angry: "You can just put a lot of words in your stomach, don't think that you are unscrupulous when you are at home, what if you say you are used to it and slip out of your mouth when you are used to it? Your brother, I am white now, but I can't do anything about it. You're backed up! Go, go, make tea!"

After driving A-Dong away, he saw that Suizhou's reaction was unusually calm, and he couldn't help but wonder, "You don't have anything to say to me?"

Sui Zhou shook his head: "I should have expected it when you asked me to send my belongings into the palace that day, but it was a messy journey, and I didn't think much about my responsibilities. It was my negligence. The boat is done, and it is useless to talk too much."

Tang Fan sweated: "Don't take things on your own! You are Jinyiwei, and you should be responsible to His Majesty first. If you don't hand over your belongings, even if you are sent to the palace by the cabinet, you can't hide it. Your dereliction of duty will make the emperor even more estranged from you, so no matter what this time, the credit should be taken by you. As for me, whether I want to please Liang Shilang or not, this ending cannot be avoided in the end, at most That’s the difference between dying early and dying late. Since stretching and shrinking is a knife, long pain is better than short pain!”

Seeing him convince himself in turn, Sui Zhou's face softened: "I know the benefits and the benefits, you don't need to say more, in fact, you are now in the Ministry of Punishment, and it is better to rest for a while, and there is no chance in the future."

Tang Fan nodded and smiled and said, "You still understand me, that's the reason. I haven't visited my sister and my nephew for a few years, and now that I have some free time, I'll go to Xianghe County in a few days. , If there is no accident, I will stay there for a few days."

Suizhou said, "I'll go with you."

Tang Fan burst into laughter: "This is not handling a case, why is it necessary to have a dignified Jinyiwei Zhenfu? You should hurry up and repair the house, so that it can be put on the sign of Bofu as soon as possible. Although the court does not give the house, we can't be too shabby and fall into the ground. Don't you think of Amber's majesty?"

The words in our ears are in our ears, and the look in Sui Zhou's eyes is more and more pleasant, which shows that Tang Fan has completely disregarded himself as an outsider.

Suizhou didn't hide his feelings, so that the joy directly caught Tang Fan's eyes, which made him startled.

The branches in the yard bear a lot of fruit, the leaves sway gently in the breeze, the temperature is moderate in early summer, sit leisurely in a thin shirt, eat candied mulberries, look at the lush greenery in front of you, and are accompanied by close friends, no matter what. Either way is a great joy in the world.

Rao was someone like Suizhou who was short of words, and felt that it was time for him to say something.

The premise is that if no one bothers...

"Is this the Tang family?" There was a knock on the door outside.

Suizhou: "..."

Tang Fan snorted: "Is it Qian San'er? How did he find it here?"

Suizhou: "It is estimated that I came to intercede with you."

Tang Fan wondered, "What kind of love?"

As he spoke, he went to open the door.

Qian San'er was wearing the lowest robe of the Jinyiwei. She had no rank. Her name was Junyu. As soon as she heard her name, she knew that she belonged to the errands and errands. The public servants were separated.

Since they returned from Gongxian County, Tang Fan has not forgotten his promise. He told Suizhou that he threw Qian San'er into Beizhen Fusi and started as a soldier.

Jinyiwei is not an easy-going department. In addition to meritorious officials or relatives and children of Enyin, there are three main ways: substituting, filling, and investing. This kind of position, there are also a lot of people grabbing their heads.

However, given Suizhou's status today, even if he is not a top leader in Jinyiwei, it is always more than enough to be a second in command. It is not a matter of words to let Qian San'er in.

As the saying goes, look at the old at the age of three, although this Qian San'er did not commit any big treacherous acts, but when he was a child, he followed his master to steal chickens and dogs. style.

Let's put it this way, now he is wearing official uniforms and Tang Fan is wearing regular clothes, but he still looks like Tang Fan as an official, he looks like a thief.

Tang Fan looked at his nondescript appearance, restrained his smile, and let people in.

When Qian San'er saw Tang Fan, she was delighted at first, and then she saw Sui Zhou behind her, and her joy turned into fright.

"Uncle, Uncle is also here...?"

Suizhou's cold face can stop Xiaoer's cry at night, and it can also make Qian San'er unable to walk.

"Well, um, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence today, and I still meet Uncle here, then why don't you come back another day?"

After he finished speaking, he wanted to slip away, but Tang Fan grabbed him by the back collar, angrily and funny: "You all know that Guangchuan has been awarded a title, why didn't you even find out where he lives? Didn't your colleagues tell you? You, does he live here?"

"Ah?" Qian San'er was dumbfounded and couldn't figure out what the situation was.

Tang Fan said, "This is Sui's family, and I am the one living here. Didn't you see the sign outside?"

Qian San'er grimaced: "I can't read a few words..."

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Tang Fan couldn't help but want to pat A-Dong on the head like that: "Okay, stop pretending, what's the matter with me?"

But now Qian San'er can't say anything, he glanced at Sui Zhou with two eyes, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing, just come to visit the adults, how can you say that the adults are also the reborn parents of the little ones!"

He put the gift in his hand on the stone table next to him: "Small idea, it's not a respect, please accept it with a smile!"

Tang Fan smiled and said, "I'm not an adult now, don't shout like an adult!"

Qian San'er scratched his head: "Then, son? Master?"

Tang Fan restrained his smile and said with a stern face: "After all, there is nothing without going to the Three Treasures Hall. What's the matter with you here?"

Before Qian San'er could speak, Sui Zhou said, "He must be unable to work in Jinyiwei, so he came to ask you for mercy."

Tang Fan wondered: "Why can't you continue, do you know that no one else can ask for your errand?"

Qian San'er was distracted by Suizhou, her face flushed red, and she smiled awkwardly: "Uncle's eyes are so bright, he understands all the little thoughts."

He knelt down in front of Tang Fan with a plop: "To be honest, it's exactly as Uncle said, it's all thanks to the kindness of adults that Xiao Xiao can have today, and Xiao Xiao is inexplicably grateful, but it's just that Jin Yiwei is really not suitable for me. The little one only hopes to be able to serve the adults before and after the horse, please do your best!"

This is really not Qian San'er being hypocritical. With his bamboo-like body, he is smart enough, but when he is Jin Yiwei, he doesn't seem to be imposing enough. Standing in a group of colleagues, he seems to be fighting.

Suizhou is strict by nature, and it's not good to be flamboyant and take advantage of loopholes. Even if Qian San'er walked in through the back door, he didn't get any special treatment. In this way, his grades also returned to the bottom, and he was still a long way behind the penultimate place.

Fortunately, Qian San'er is a clever person and gets along well with his colleagues. Everyone takes good care of him, but no matter how much he takes care of him, he must have some training. suitable for that place.

Therefore, even if Jin Yiwei is majestic, he will not be associated with him.

After hearing his cry, Tang Fan turned to look at Suizhou.

Suizhou nodded and gave a comment: "Diligence is commendable, but talent is not enough."

It means that Qian San'er is also working hard to keep up with the pace of training, but it's really not that kind of material. As the imperial army, Jin Yiwei's primary choice is that he is tall and powerful, like Qian San'er wearing a dragon. The robe doesn't look like the prince's, even if he barely gets in, it won't be very promising.

Seeing that Suizhou said the same, Tang Fan asked Qian San'er, "Then what are your plans? If you still want to go back to your old business, you don't have to say hello to me when you meet again, and I don't know you either. This character."

Qian San'er hurriedly said: "Since the villain has vowed to change his mind, he will never go astray again. Thanks to the adults, I would like to follow the adults, and the adults will be fulfilled!"

Tang Fan frowned when he saw that he was really coming: "How did you think of this?"

Qian San'er said earnestly: "Sir, when I was at Gonghou's tomb, I admired you very much, I wish I could serve you and learn something, but at that time I knew I was unworthy, so I didn't dare to speak..."

Tang Fan laughed and scolded, "Then why do you dare to speak now?"

Qian San'er smiled: "Now that I am in the capital, I have gained some knowledge, and I heard that there are no servants around, so I want to apply!"

Tang Fan shook his head: "I have no official position now, and I don't need anyone to take care of me. Even if you want to follow me, I can't accept you."

Qian San'er was anxious: "Sir..."

He really wanted to come to Tang Fan. One was really grateful to Tang Fan and wanted to repay him. The two felt that he couldn't do anything in the Beizhen Fusi. Tang Fan was an upright person, and Knowledgeable, following such a character, maybe you can learn something more.

Tang Fan still wanted to refuse, but he heard Sui Zhou say, "You go back first, come back tomorrow, sir, you need to think about it."

With such a powerful Buddha in Suizhou sitting next to him, Qian San'er felt uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that he would speak for him.

Tang Fan wondered: "You just didn't let me speak, do you really plan to let me accept Qian San'er?"

Suizhou said: "It's up to you of course, I just think you can really think about it. Qian San'er is not a candidate for Qian Jinyiwei, but he is still smart, not bad at heart, loyal and reliable, and can be taken with him. around."

Tang Fan thought for a while: "Well, I'll go back to Xianghe County to visit my sister, and I'm not going to let A-Dong accompany me. I'll take Qian San'er with me when that time comes. It can be considered a companion."

Suizhou was a little strange: "Why don't you bring A-Dong?"

Tang Fan said, "My sister is married to a family that is one of the best in Xianghe County. There are a lot of people talking, and there are inevitably a lot of things going on. If A-Dong goes along and suffers grievances, it would be bad, so I'd better stay in Beijing."

Suizhou: "As you like."

A few days later, the news of Tang Fan's dismissal has been known to everyone, and everyone generally sympathizes with the weak, not to mention that Tang Fan is a better man than Liang Wenhua, so naturally many people help him fight the injustice.

However, it is a pity that Liang Wenhua went to Wan'an, but Tang Fan was still in the sixth or seventh rank in the same year, so he couldn't compete with the opponent at all, so he could only comfort Tang Fan and let him wait patiently for the opportunity.

Tang Fan socialized with the same year for a few days, and then sent a letter to Tang Yu, the eldest sister in Xianghe County. Said that he had a long vacation and wanted to visit her.

Tang Yu quickly replied to the letter, welcoming her younger brother's arrival, and earnestly hoped that he could stay for a while after he came over. He also said that the younger nephew is now over six years old and has long forgotten what his uncle looks like. If he doesn't go again, The nephew was about to forget his uncle.

Although what Tang Yu wrote in the letter was not too different from the past, Tang Fan still smelled an unusual aura from it.

Because Tang Yu didn't mention her husband He Lin in half a word.

The He family is a big family in Xianghe County. When Tang Fan's father was still alive, he and He Lin's father, He Ying, were officials in the same place.

Before Tang Yu married into the He family, both Tang Fan's parents died. At that time, only Tang Yu and Tang Fan remained in the Tang family, and Tang Fan had not yet been admitted to the jinshi, but He Ying kept his promise and did not Just dissolve the marriage of the two families, or let the second son marry Tang Yu into the door.

Although Tang Yu and Tang Fan have a deep relationship with sister and brother, her sister is married, after all, she is from her husband's family, and three generations of the He family live together. He went to visit him. Later, after he became an official, he was busy all day and couldn't even find time.

Tang Fan saw the clue from the letter, and was worried that Tang Yu was not doing well in the He family, so he was not going to let A-Dong follow.

After getting the reply from the eldest sister, he packed his luggage and prepared to go out in a few days.

But before leaving, he received an invitation from a long-lost old friend.

The Xianyun Pavilion is still the same Xianyun Pavilion, and the private room is still the same private room, but there are two people here, one has a rough official career, and the other has an unpredictable future.

The one with a bumpy official career is naturally Tang Fan. The reason why he is sitting here is because of the big man who invited him over.

This is indeed a big man. In the past, when he stomped his feet in the capital, the others would also shake his father-in-law Wang. In the past two years, because he focused on the outside of the Great Wall, he rarely appeared in the capital, and everyone was a little jealous of him.

In contrast, the Dongchang factory has been on the rise. Shangming, the master of the factory, has been very proud of the recent spring breeze because he recommended the national teacher. Not to mention Wang Zhi, he almost ignored Wynn in front of the emperor.

The two reunited after a long absence. They should have exchanged cups and sympathized with each other, but since Tang Fan came in, he has been listening to Wang Zhi in various ways, from various angles, in all directions, without any dead ends... scolding him.

After being scolded incessantly for nearly half an hour, Tang Fan was already numb. At first, he thought of taking care of Wang Zhi's face, so he listened to the instructions, and then when he was hungry, he picked up the chopsticks and put them on the charcoal to burn the pork neck. The meat was put into the mouth, and he greeted Eunuch Wang by the way: "You should be thirsty after scolding for so long. Would you like someone to bring in some fat sea chrysanthemum tea?"

Wang Zhi: "You melon boy! I've never seen you so stupid, giving the credit to others in vain..."

Look, Eunuch Wang scolded so smoothly that he even used Sichuan dialect.

Tang Fan nodded: "But you've already scolded that sentence three times tonight."

Wang Zhi couldn't stop as soon as he scolded him: "Others are officials who are getting bigger and bigger, but you are going back the more you live! Are your brains less rooted than others or what? Liang Wenhua squeezed Zhang Ying out, and he said that in the Ministry of Punishment, he was one of the best. At the height of the day, I just need to find someone to stand up for power. At this time, if you hit it, you will become a target! If you give the credit to Suizhou, what benefits will you get? It's all right now, the crown belt is idle, hehe, I don't think you'll ever think about it again in your life!"

Tang Fan kindly reminded: "This sentence has been said five times."

Wang Zhi choked up and down in one breath, and rolled his eyes.

Seeing his expression as if he was going to eat people, Tang Fan quickly apologized: "Isn't that afraid that you are too thirsty, I know Mr. Wang loves him..."

Wang Zhi sneered: "Who cares about you?"

Unaffected by his cold words, Tang Fan picked up the wine glass, touched the glass he put on the table, and drank it: "The facts have been established, it is useless to talk more, think about how much I have been with Wang Gong. Loaded, since you went to Datong, we have rarely been together like today, and now we are the same people in the end of the world..."

Wang Zhi snorted: "Can you say something nice, when did Lao Tzu fall with you?"

After knowing each other for a long time, Tang Fan didn't care about how vicious he looked, he just chuckled and put down his glass: "So, Mr. Wang invited me here today purely to practice it for me. already?"

Wang Zhi was speechless, picked up the jug and poured himself wine, poured three glasses in a row, raised his head to drink it, wiped his face, and then said, "You are right, I do have a problem now."

It must be said that Wang Zhi listened to Tang Fan's suggestion at the beginning, and he really wanted to stand in front of the emperor with military merit, so he encouraged the emperor to agree to send troops to the Hetao, but unexpectedly, at the same time, the Tartar happened to attack, and under the leadership of Wang Yue The Ming army won a complete victory, and Wang Zhi also made a big splash in front of the emperor, and made a lot of face.

But as soon as he tasted the sweetness, he didn't just accept it as Tang Fan advised him. Instead, he devoted himself to development and wanted to make even greater contributions.

Wang Zhi focused on managing side affairs, and inevitably neglected the management of the capital. An eunuch who did not often show his face around the emperor was destined to be marginalized, no matter how favored he was. Of course, this rule also applies to courtiers. .

All in all, while Wang Zhi was making great contributions outside, the situation in the capital had quietly changed.

Dongchang Shangming, who had previously fought against him in court and even bowed his head, worshipped Liang Fang's pier, the great eunuch of the inner palace, recognized Liang Fang as his godfather, and fought with the emperor's favored Li Zisheng and others. , and also recommended a monk named Jixiao to enter the palace.

Jixiao really got the emperor's attention, and was named a national teacher.

With these advantages, Shang Ming quickly replaced Wang Zhi's previous position in the emperor's mind.

Without Wang Zhi, the West Factory is like a group of children without mothers, the former glory is no longer, and the East Factory is suppressed everywhere.

That's all, but Wang Zhi found that, for some unknown time, Concubine Wan, who was willing to speak for him, was no longer close to him, and even gave him a closed door to eat when he returned to Beijing to visit the palace.

How could this not make Wang Zhi feel panic in his heart

No matter how capable and beautiful he is, the inherent disadvantage of an eunuch is there, which is destined to be impossible for him not to rely on the imperial power. Once he is rejected by the superior, his fate is predictable.

But with Wang Zhi's arrogance and arrogance, he felt ashamed to let him offer the emperor's magic tricks to the emperor without any lower limit.

After tasting the real sweetness of military exploits, Eunuch Wang couldn't help but grow taller and taller in his heart. He felt that even if he was an eunuch, he was an eunuch who was not ordinary and could never show his face to do what Shang Ming did. thing.

But then again, if he hadn't had integrity, and unlike Shang Ming and others, Tang Fan wouldn't be sitting here talking to him.

To put it bluntly, although Eunuch Wang arrived early in his youth and had an early appearance, he was considered an old man of Huanhai. He had already begun to see the signs that he was about to fall out of favor, so he asked Tang Fan for advice.

As a factory master of Xichang, although there are many people around, there are not many people who can really be admired by Wang Zhi, and even fewer people who can be admired by him and are willing to associate with him.

Counting over and over, only Tang Fan can be called the best among them.

So facing Tang Fan, Wang Zhi was still willing to confide in his heart. There was no one else here except Tang Fan, and the prestige and face of the West Factory Factory could be temporarily put away.

After listening to Tang Fan, he asked him a question: "What kind of road do you want to take?"

Wang Zhi was inexplicable: "What kind of road?"

Tang Fan explained to him: "What we mix in the officialdom is nothing more than two ends, a good death and an unhappy death. There are three types in the good death. One is to go to the office with a beautiful view and return to the hometown in fine clothes. , one is a dull ending and is unknown, and the other is a bleak going down the field, dying in poverty and illness. But these are all good endings, not good ones, don’t need me to say, you also know.”

Wang Zhi thought for a while, courtiers throughout the ages, no matter whether they were eunuchs or normal men, really couldn't escape these kinds of endings.

Oh, of course, the other calculation of rebellion is not within the scope of their discussion.

Tang Fan: "Let's talk about the eunuchs first, not to mention the officials appointed by the imperial court. It's not easy to have a good death. As the saying goes, accompany the king and accompany the tiger, so many seniors are planted on it. I thought they were favored by the emperor. Falling from the clouds into the soil, at best, it will end in a dull way, and at worst, you will even lose your life. What I said is definitely not what Wang Gong wants.”

Wang Zhi nodded with a hint of arrogance: "Life is alive, you should be full of vigor and vitality, so you won't have to come to the world in vain. If you want me to choose, I will naturally choose the scenery to serve and return home!"

Tang Fan smiled: "Many people think this way, not only you, Shang Ming must think the same way. But the authorities are obsessed, sometimes what a person does is actually digging a grave for himself, but he himself has nothing to do with it. aware."

Wang Zhi frowned: "Don't talk more and more mysterious!"

Tang Fan: "Then let me ask you, does your Majesty like Wynn's cautious, or Shang Ming's flattering?"

Wang Zhi pondered: "If it were His Majesty today, I'm afraid I would still like Shang Ming more."

Tang Fan: "What about the prince?"

Wang Zhi: "How do I know, I'm not familiar with the prince again!"

Tang Fan: "After all, Your Majesty may like Shang Ming, but he will not hate Wynn. Otherwise, Wynn would not have been able to win His Majesty's trust for so many years in front of the imperial court."

Wang Zhi nodded, he understood what Tang Fan meant a little bit: "You mean, even if Shang Ming is good for a while, he can't be good for the rest of his life?"

Tang Fan said, "It's natural. Do more and do more mistakes. Shang Ming devotes his time to digging into the camp, forming an alliance with this, and better with that. Even if His Majesty can tolerate him, can the new monarch tolerate him? There will always be encounters with him. The general ledger, when the time comes, his troubles will come."

Wang Zhi groaned: "Now his troubles haven't come, but mine are coming!"

Tang Fan said, "Don't be discouraged, Mr. Wang. As I said before, as a servant, either learn Wynn or Shang Ming."

Wang Zhi: "I don't want to learn from both sides. Of course I don't like Shang Ming's kind of thing, but I can't do it like Wynn.

Tang Fan smiled helplessly: "So from a long time ago, I suggested you take the third way."

Wang Zhi stared: "When did you tell me about the third way?"

Tang Fan said: "At that time, through my senior brother, I gave you two suggestions, one is military merit, and the other is East Palace."

Wang Zhi: "What kind of advice is that?"

Tang Fan: "Don't underestimate these two suggestions. There are many things that need to be prepared for a long time ago."

Wang Zhi: "Can you stop talking so much nonsense?"

Tang Fan sighed: "Can you be more patient? You have military merits in the outside world now, and although you are an overseer, no one can deny your merits. Since the change in civil engineering, I have been very fond of foreigners in the north. It is rare to be able to win, and the few battles you have fought can be said to be very pleasing to the hearts of the people, and the morale of the army has been lifted. Among them, as the initiator, Wang Gong has contributed a lot, which is recorded in the history books."

This is touted as "moisturizing things without sound", which is actually the highest level. Wang Zhi was really said to have a relaxed expression, showing an expression of "you are on the point".

"However," Tang Fan changed his words, "Have you noticed that when you were out with troops, there were always voices against you in the imperial court?"

"Why didn't you find out?" When he said this, Wang Zhi's face also sank: "It's nothing more than some nerds who don't know how to work around and pretend to be high-minded, but I can't see that I'm waiting for the eunuch to take over the military power. Even the three treasure eunuchs can lead troops to fight, how dare they say that!"

Tang Fan said: "Of course there are some clear opinions, but there is another person's opinion that you should not ignore."

Wang Zhi: "Who?"

Tang Fan: "Your Majesty."

Seeing Wang Zhi stunned, Tang Fan said, "Don't look at your Majesty's approval every time you ask to go on an expedition, but in fact, his closeness to you is decreasing year by year, I don't need to say this, you should be able to I feel that it is not only him, but even Concubine Wan is unwilling to see you now, it is precisely because you have been leading troops outside for a long time and neglected to manage the relationship in the palace."

Wang Zhi said depressedly, "I don't miss sending things to the palace during the festivals!"

Tang Fan: "Can things compare to people? Then Shang Ming still hangs in front of the emperor and concubine all day long. He still has a mouth, so it's not much more useful than yours? Even if you still have your own people in the palace , but none of them can match your qualifications. Your Majesty and your concubine treat you differently because you have grown up in front of them since you were a child, and your closeness is incomparable to anyone, but if you stay away all year round and refuse to come back, they will You will feel that you are greedy for power, and even hold military power, plus Shang Ming and Wantong who speak ill of you in front of them day and night, imagine for yourself, how far away are you from falling out of favor?"

Wang Zhi couldn't help sitting up straight, and Tang Fan's analysis, it could be said that he went to his heart.

"Then what should I do?"

Tang Fan said: "You have military merit in hand, which is a sign that you are different from Shang Ming and others, but even if you are not an eunuch, you cannot hold military power for a long time. Yong, who doesn't make friends with you? This is a taboo for ministers! That's why I persuaded you two years ago to let you go back to Beijing after you have made military exploits..."

Wang Zhi had to admit gloomily: "I didn't listen to your advice at the time."

Because Wang Gonggong is addicted to military achievements, he is also very cool outside, far away from the capital, and no one cares about it. He can do whatever he wants.

Tang Fan said in a deep voice, "But it's not too late! When the battle at Hetao is over, you can go to your Majesty and ask your Majesty to go back to Beijing. How to write your memorial and how to make Majesty feel close to you again? You are more familiar than me, so I won't tell you."

Wang Zhi: "What about after returning to Beijing?"

Tang Fan: "After returning to Beijing, I managed the West Factory and its reputation well. The East-West Factory is the eyes and ears of His Majesty, and has always been hated by officials, but it is not without benefits that these eyes and ears are used well. Now Wan An, Shang Ming and others Although the superiors are flattering, the imperial subordinates are those who obey me and those who oppose me perish. If you can save one or two ministers with high morals and respect, your reputation will be established immediately."

Wang Zhi's eyes lit up, this is a good way.

He has always had a bad relationship with the courtiers. The courtiers hated him, and he couldn't get used to those ministers. A few years ago, he felt that he was quite majestic. Now that he is aware of the crisis, he finally starts to think about making up the relationship.

Like Wynn, who is kind to others everywhere, Wang Zhi can't learn it. He is not that temperament himself, and if he does it reluctantly, it will only be nondescript, but it's not difficult if you follow what Tang Fan said.

Tang Fan: "Also, for ministers who still have integrity now, the prince is their hope. If you can be kind to the prince, it will also help your future reputation and future. But this is more difficult, Because the imperial concubine doesn't like the prince, if you are concerned about the imperial concubine, you don't have to be too revealing."

When he said this, Wang Zhi suddenly felt that most of the blocks in his heart had gone away, and he was relieved a lot at once.

Although the predicament remains, at least he will no longer feel the fire burning his eyebrows.

Wang Zhi said: "I will find a way about your dismissal. If there is a chance, I will intercede for you in front of Your Majesty."

Tang Fan didn't care, he gave Wang Zhi an idea, and it wasn't for this kind of thing. He shook his head and said, "Then you will intercede for me later, I will be away from Beijing for a while, even if Your Majesty recovers, I don't want to come back to be an official so soon."

Wang Zhi sneered: "You're still out of breath when you say you're fat! Your official position is the Chinese cabbage that your family grows. You can pick as much as you want?"

Tang Fan scooped a crab meal lion's head into the bowl with a spoon, and said with a smile, "I don't grow Chinese cabbage at home."

Wang Zhi: "Speaking of which, I wanted to find a chance to give that Liang Wenhua some stumbling blocks first, but who knew it was snatched up by someone."

Tang Fan: "Huh?"

Wang Zhi gave him a sideways look: "You don't know?"

Tang Fan blinked inexplicably: "??"

His cheeks were stuffed with food, and his speech was indecent, which could only be replaced by expressions. How stupid he looked, he was completely different from the calm and unpredictable master before.

Wang Zhidao said, "Yong Shangshu, the official of the Imperial Supervision History, impeached Liang Yonghua, saying that his current youngest son was born to his concubine ten years ago during his mother's hot filial piety."

Tang Fan coughed a few times coldly. For people who can even dig out such old privacy, apart from Dongxi Liangchang or Jinyiwei, is there any other semicolon in the Ming Dynasty

[Volume VI: Xianghe County Case]
