Even if Wantong is talking about the neighbor's house, who doesn't know, who can't hear what he means
His Majesty now has five sons. Since the crown prince Zhu Youji was canonized, Concubine Wan broke the jar, and no longer prohibits women in the harem from having children. Therefore, after the crown prince, the other four princes have sprung up one after another.
The crown prince is less than twelve years old this year, followed by the second prince Zhu Youqi, five years old, and the youngest two, who are less than two years old this year. It can be seen that the emperor is not unable to give birth, he is quite able to give birth, but there used to be Concubine Wan. , The women in the harem were having abortions one after another, and if Zhu Youji were not protected, it might have been a different situation today.
However, Concubine Wan and the Crown Prince have always been at odds with each other. Even if she can't give birth to herself, she definitely doesn't want to see the Prince ascend to the throne and become emperor. What she is more interested in is Zhu Youqi, the second prince from Concubine Shao Chen, so she mentioned it several times in front of the emperor, hoping To be able to change the crown prince, it is also indispensable to the support of his younger brother Wantong and Li Zisheng.
Everyone knows that the prince is not close to these people. In the future, when the emperor dies, they will have a place to stand. Naturally, they want to change to another emperor who is easy to talk and handle, and can continue their happy and happy days.
It was because of their instigation last time that the emperor and the prince had a rift. In the end, it was Tang Fan's idea to let the prince himself show affection in front of the emperor, and then the crisis was temporarily overcome.
Wang Zhi and Wynn passed the hands of Wang Zhi and Wynn in the middle of this matter, and it was extremely secretive. Wantong didn't know Tang Fan's involvement. He was just brooding about Tang Fan because of the Nancheng Gang, and seeing that he had just helped the teacher out of the siege, he Intentionally make things difficult for him in public, to see how he responds.
Wantong really didn't believe it. Tang Fan, who was single-handedly, dared to offend him in public
There is no idiot who can sit here, and he understands it very well.
Everyone looked at Tang Fan with burning eyes, some were gloating at the misfortune, some were worried for him, and some were watching the show.
Although Sui Zhou was still sitting in the same position as before, no one noticed that his back was tense and his face was much colder than before. His eyes were taken back from Wantong and fell on Tang Fan again. body.
At this moment, he can naturally stand up and speak for Tang Fan just like Tang Fan helped his teacher.
But that would mean distrusting Tang Fan's ability. The other party was also a man, and he was an extremely smart man.
In this case, Tang Fan can solve it by himself, he doesn't need anyone's help.
With this thought in mind, Sui Zhou's fist slowly relaxed, but in his heart, he had already written down an account for Wantong.
But not everyone wholeheartedly believes that Tang Fan must have a way, like Sui Zhou.
Qiu Jun was very angry right now.
He was outraged that the Wantong party had the audacity to ask such a thought-provoking question openly, and that they embarrassed their students.
Qiu Jun knew very well that if Tang Fan hadn't spoken for him just now, this would not have happened.
Thinking of this, Mr. Qiu raised his gray eyebrows and wanted to stand up to speak to the students, but his sleeve was tugged fiercely.
Qiu Jun turned his head, saw Chang Zhiyuan pressing him, and whispered, "Listen to what Runqing said first, he may not be able to deal with it."
The implication is that you may have done a disservice to Tang Fan by helping Tang Fan in such a hurry.
Qiu Jun furrowed his brows fiercely, and had to forcefully suppress it and wait and see what happened.
It's not like there aren't people like him, like Wang Hao, who couldn't help but want to stand up and fight for Tang Fan, but was also held down by the slightly calmer Xie Qian.
However, he saw that Tang Fan was not in a hurry, his face was as usual, as if he didn't hear any overtones in Wantong's words.
"I dare to ask Commander Wan, you say that the eldest son is not filial and virtuous, what is not filial piety, and what is not virtuous? How can the younger son be clever and clever?"
Wan Tong: "The eldest son's biological mother died early, but all the relatives who came into contact with him, without exception, would not end well. Even his father is now weak in physical form and spirit. They also said that the eldest son was not virtuous. As for the youngest son, he was five years old. He was no worse than the eldest son in reading, and he was more liked by his father than the eldest son. He was even more gifted in business. More promising than the eldest son."
When everyone heard it, they thought that this was a naked insinuation of the current prince and the second prince!
Only the younger brother of Concubine Wan would dare to say such a thing openly.
Tang Fan raised his eyebrows: "There are ten evil sins in the laws of the state, and unfilial piety is one of them. If the eldest son is really unfilial, he really shouldn't inherit the family property."
But before Wantong could show a smug smile, he heard him continue: "Swearing and insulting grandparents, parents and other elders, not properly caring for them, or if the elders are mourning. Or if one's parents are not dead, it is unfilial to claim that they are dead. But this is ignoring the parents and the mother, which is actually a false rumor spread by the common people, and it has never been seen in the law. Mother, when the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty started his family, his parents were all bereaved, and you dare to ask the commander Wan, what is the explanation for this?"
"Bold, you dare to say that the Emperor Taizu has overcome his father and mother!" I don't know who suddenly said such a sentence.
Wantong sternly glared at the idiot.
Even if the other party's original intention was to help him, Wantong knew that as soon as he said this, Tang Fan fell into his arms.
Sure enough, Tang Fan smiled: "I never said that Emperor Taizu defeated his father and mother, that Emperor Taizu was wise and talented, and geniuses were bestowed by heaven. What he encountered in his childhood was only to temper him before he was appointed to a great role. How can I describe it in words? In this case, the eldest son of Commander Wan's neighbor, although he is not as good as the Taizu Emperor, certainly cannot use his father and mother to infer his unfilial piety."
"As for the youngest son, since he is only five years old this year and is still young, it is too early to say that he can inherit the family business. Don't you hear that King Jinggong in Song Dynasty once said that he would hurt Zhongyong. Good, it is a famous saying through the ages."
Wantong's face is not only ugly, it can be called ugly.
Thinking that since his sister became a noble concubine, he has been proud of the spring breeze, not to mention that the queen's family is not as good as him, and even the cabinet Zaifu has to treat him with courtesy.
He remembered what Peng Hua had just said in his ear, and thought that this turtle grandson must have known Tang Fan's eloquence for a long time, so he acted as a tortoise and deliberately asked me to come forward. Great face!
"By the way," Tang Fan didn't give Wantong a chance to think about a response, he smiled slightly and pulled the topic aside, "It's not someone else who decides how to divide this business, nor is it the father of the two sons who decides. Forget it, the law of the Great Ming Dynasty has already stipulated the distribution of family property, if you can't make a decision, you can sue the government for ruling, and we outsiders don't have to worry about unnecessary things."
Wantong was clearly implying the position of the prince, but Tang Fan just explained it literally, as if Wantong's neighbors really wanted to divide the property, leaving Wantong speechless and could only stare blankly.
Fortunately, the others didn't just sit there and watch him suffer, so Li Zisheng said, "Yushi Tang, this is just a pastime after a meal, why are you so serious?"
Tang Fan said with a smile: "Unconsciously, I became serious, I laughed, I laughed!"
Wantong laughed and went down the steps: "Tang Yushi's words really made me suddenly enlightened, I turned around and told my neighbor, lest he would know nothing about Daminglu and make a joke in the end! Okay, everyone continue to drink, come here, and toast for the eternal prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the health of the Emperor Dragon!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
When he said this, everyone naturally grabbed their wine glasses and stood up one after another, and the slightly stiff atmosphere immediately became alive again.
The people at Tang Fan's table admired his courage to refute Wantong's face in public.
Wang Hao even whispered a good word to him.
Xie Qian also said: "Wantong relies on his sister, so he is so arrogant that he doesn't even pay attention to the prince, and he always joins others in scolding His Majesty to abolish the prince. His words today are clearly implying that the prince and the prince The matter of the second prince, I took this to make things difficult for you, but fortunately, you were adaptable, and you didn't fall into his trap, but instead became famous again!"
Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, I would rather not have such a name!"
Xie Qian patted him on the shoulder: "It's a good thing to think about whether it's a misfortune or a blessing. The last time you became famous because of the Xianghe County case, many people said that you were a fluke. Now you dare to openly express your attitude without cowardice. Retreat is enough to show your courage, and the voices of criticizing you will definitely be much less in the future!"
Wang Hao also laughed and said: "Yes, Runqing, in the future, the reputation of 'Jiandan Qinxin Tang Yushi' may spread in the officialdom!"
Tang Fan couldn't help but rolled his eyes at them. He didn't say anything, and just ate with chopsticks.
How can I make up for the physical and mental strain of this trip if I have offended Wantong from the left and right
Although Wantong was very open-minded on the spot, when the banquet was over and the guests were all gone, he let the door close, and he couldn't help but get angry: "What kind of onion does that kid think he is! A mere Zuoyao is a censor, How dare he ignore me! He even thinks he has handled a trivial case by himself, so he is famous all over the world, and no one can do anything about it?!"
However, the people who stayed at the scene were Vantone's best friends, and they would definitely vent their anger with him, and would not accuse him in turn.
Li Zising smiled and said, "Mr. Wan doesn't need to be angry for such people. From my point of view, this Tang Fan is just like other officials. He has a good reputation. In the situation just now, it gave him room to play, but he He only has a sharp mouth, and when I look back, I will ask someone to find out what's wrong with him, drive him out of the capital, and let Gong Gong vent his anger!"
Shang Ming then said: "That Tang Fan is not an ordinary petty official, he has Suizhou to help him speak, Wang Zhi has a good relationship with him, he is the censor, and there is a teacher who is the imperial envoy of Youdu. What are you doing? You don't want to bite anyone you want? He's a small official, but it's not easy to despise him. I can't guarantee that he will be bitten back at any time. Although it is not fatal, it still hurts!"
His remarks were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and Wantong was even more angry when he heard it.
Thinking that the originally happy birthday banquet was defeated by Qiu Jun and Tang Fan, teachers and students, Wantong felt tired and crooked.
He didn't even think about it, obviously he was going to make trouble for others first.
Peng Hua said: "What the director of Shangchang said is very true, even if a small Tang Fan has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, it is not a cause for concern. If he can find something from him, he will also take the opportunity to pull Xichang. Down, that's a great achievement."
Although Shang Ming wanted to bring down his old enemy Wang Zhi in his dreams, he shook his head when he heard the words: "Unfortunately, Your Majesty still has some kind of incense love for Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi is still doing fine!"
Li Zisheng was puzzled: "There are so many people serving your Majesty, this Wang Zhi has not been in front of His Majesty for almost two years, why has His Majesty not left him in the cold?"
When Wantong and Peng Hua heard this, they both glanced at him and cursed in their hearts, but said nothing.
Li Zisheng was fortunate to enter with Taoism, not only in the minds of ministers like Qiu Jun, but also Wantong and others. It's just that the emperor has a lot of trust in these two people, and Wantong and others feel that this can be used by themselves.
This is the difference between a villain and a gentleman.
People like Qiu Jun and Wynn, even if they knew Li Zisheng's position in the emperor's mind, they would not disdain to consolidate the prince's status through such people.
But Wantong and the others are different. As long as the goal can be achieved, the means is not important.
Shang Ming is an eunuch, so he doesn't discriminate against Li Zixing, so he explained to him with a smile: "Master Li has not been in Beijing for a long time, so it is normal for him not to understand. He has been around longer than me, and it is considered that His Majesty and the Empress watched him grow up, so His Majesty loves him a little more."
Wantong snorted when he heard the words: "What's the use of that! Eat the beasts inside and out! My sister is so kind to him, and he actually helped outsiders to deal with me! It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"
As long as he thinks of the Nancheng Gang being destroyed, his heart itch with hatred.
Shang Ming, on the other hand, was always sour about Wang Zhi being favored more than him, and when he seized the opportunity, he would blackmail his old rival: "But he did his own crimes, so he asked himself to stay on the side, but it was easy to go out and hard to come back. He has gradually become unhappy with him, as long as the chief assistant is willing to go to the Shushu and ask the Xichang to be dismissed, the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, and his death is only a matter of time."
Wantong shook his head: "You don't have to count on that old fox, he runs faster than anyone else when it's not good. I just wanted him to stay and discuss important matters with us just now. Slip away ahead of time, if he can be sure of His Majesty's intentions, he will definitely be happy to add to the icing on the cake, but if His Majesty still trusts Wang Zhi, he will definitely not go into troubled waters!"
Peng Hua asked, "Shang Gong, I heard that Wang Zhi has flirted with Wynn recently. Is this true?"
Shang Ming said: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I heard from my children in the palace that they did meet Wang Zhi and Wynn a few times. The time they talked each time was very short, and they were far apart. It's also far away, and I don't know what the two of them are talking about."
Peng Hua said, "Didn't I hear that Wynn and Wang Zhi were at odds before? When did they get on the line?"
Wantong said with a sullen face: "it doesn't matter when you get on the line, the old guy Wynn is all about the prince. If Wang Zhi falls to them again, the prince will be even more powerful! What's going on in Datong? We have to think about it. There's a way, when he comes back with military exploits, and Xichang is in hand, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the people present: "I don't know what you have in mind?"
Peng Hua thought for a while: "I heard that the war in Datong has been a little rough these days, and he probably won't be able to come back for a while. It's better to find two officials to list the crimes of Xichang, stop Xichang first, and cut it off. He has an arm!"
Among the people present, to say that they hate Wang Zhi the most and wish him to die, there is one other person besides Wantong.
I saw Shang Ming smiling slyly: "I have a better way to kill three birds with one stone and get rid of all the people who are not pleasing to Mr. Wan!"
On the other side, Tang Fan naturally didn't know that someone was brewing a conspiracy that might affect him.
After the banquet was over, he went to work in the Duchayuan for a few days, and heard his colleagues talking about the birthday banquet, while Tang Fan was at the banquet, first to relieve the teacher, and then tactfully dealt with Wantong's deliberately making things difficult for him. The problem, as Xie Qian said, raised his name again, and even led his colleagues in the prefectural court to see him differently.
Although everyone didn't say it, most of them disapproved of people like Wantong. Tang Fan did what they wanted to do but didn't dare to do, so they naturally admired Tang Fan a little more.
In addition, Tang Fan's teacher is also in charge of the Metropolitan Court, so Tang Fan's treatment in the Metropolitan Court now is completely different from when he was in the Criminal Department. This unexpected treatment made him very uncomfortable. Ridiculous.
Aside from the chaos in the courtroom, Tang Fan's life is not only much more regular than before, but also leisurely and comfortable.
After Tang Yu's mother and son settled down, He Cheng's reading problem was also put on the agenda.
Tang Fan himself is a member of the Jinbang family. Of course, it is more than enough to teach his nephew, but the problem is that he has an official position and has no time, so he had to hire a gentleman from outside.
The other party is a low-ranking son, and his fame is higher than He Lin's, but he is not as high as He Lin. He is going to live in the capital until the next exam, and he will definitely need money. Being able to teach the children of a big family is a very decent job. .
Tang Fan and Tang Yu discussed it, and then kept Mr. Ke and gave him a generous repair, asking him to teach He Cheng and A-Dong to study together.
He Cheng is a docile and gentle child. He likes to study very much, but for A-Dong, reading is a chore. There was no He Cheng before, and there was no comparison. It's over, now that He Cheng is here, and he has a husband and elder sister to supervise, naturally she can't escape.
Fortunately, Tang Fan and Tang Yu did not have high requirements on her, as long as they could write well-organized essays, unlike He Cheng, who would have to test for fame in the future, naturally they were ten times stricter than A-Dong.
However, in order to change He Cheng's temperament developed in the He family, so that he would not become indecisive when he grew up, Tang Fan told Suizhou and sent him to the school grounds of Beizhen Fusi every ten days. The gang of Jinyiwei marched together and did push-ups.
How could He Cheng bear it? He was drilled to tears from the very beginning. Not to mention how pitiful it was. Tang Yu felt distressed when he saw it, and secretly asked Tang Fan if he could save him from such torture.
Tang Fan understood his sister's mother's heart, but he still insisted on his own opinion. He explained some truths to his sister, and compared with his brother-in-law He Lin, saying that He Lin had been too smooth since he was a child, and he lacked discussion, so much so that he felt at first glance. However, when frustrated, he was helpless.
After hearing this, Tang Yu pondered for a while, and decided not to ask again.
For a little girl like A-Dong who likes to practice martial arts, the Beizhen Fusi Academy is a perfect place. Although she is too young to practice with adults after all, for this reason, her practice intensity is also high. Already much taller than He Cheng.
With the comparison and example of this little aunt, He Cheng's competitive spirit was also inspired. Sometimes he didn't go to the school grounds, and he would play a set of boxing in the yard in the morning. Taking a note, the complexion and spirit are much better than when I was in the He family before.
Tang Yu saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and felt more and more that it was a very correct decision to bring his sister out with him.
To say that Tang Yu was in the capital, apart from being busy with business, she was not lonely. Not long after Tang Fan and the others returned to the capital, Yan Li quickly prepared three books and six appointments, and married the eighth girls of the He family. On a small day with Hehemeimei.
In addition to Tang Yu, Miss Heba has no other relatives in the capital. The two aunts and sister-in-law, who had a mediocre relationship, got closer. Tang Yu found that Heba was actually a very interesting girl who seldom communicated in the past. For example, It was said that although she appeared shy and submissive in front of the He family's father and mother-in-law, in private, she was savage and straightforward, and her husband was well-mannered. After marrying into the Yan family, she made Yan Li tame and obedient.
There is a woman in the family to take care of, life is different after all, just like He Ba is to Yan Li, just like Tang Yu is to Tang Fan.
Although they didn't live with Suizhou Tang Fan and the others, they were next to each other and couldn't be closer. Tang Yu hired two maids and asked them to help with some chores.
She also made clothes and shoes for Tang Fan herself, and of course she didn't forget to make them for Suizhou and A-Dong. Sister Tang and Nuhong did a great job, and Tang Fan and the three of them also wore clothes that contained her sister's deep heart. New clothes, and A-Dong's craftsmanship is getting better and better under the training of Sister Tang.
From Tang Fan's point of view, he prefers to live such a peaceful and peaceful life rather than being in the limelight or winning a fight.
Although simple, it is warm and happy enough.
When facing his family, he didn't have to think about his words at all, thinking about how to deal with it, how to calculate the changes in people's hearts, and only by staying with them can he completely relax.
And this kind of feeling, only these few people in the world can give him.
This day was on a break. Tang Fan went out to visit friends during the day, and stopped by for dinner at a friend's house. When he came back, the bright moon was already hanging high.
Because he ate too much, he didn't sleep for a while, but when he saw the moonlight was bright, he turned around in the yard to digest food with his hands behind his back.
Because of the busyness of the shop these days, Qian San'er has to get up early every day, so he simply stays at the back of the shop. Anyway, there are beds and quilts there, which are not cramped.
Without his mouth chattering in his ears, and Sui Zhou hadn't come back, Tang Fan felt a little bored and thought it would be better to go back to sleep.
He was about to turn around and go inside when he heard footsteps and voices coming from outside.
Then the courtyard door was pushed open and three people walked in.
To be precise, it was two people supporting one person.
The man in the middle tilted his head and staggered in his steps. Could it be Uncle Sui from Suizhou
Because Suizhou hadn't come back, the door in the yard was not bolted. Tang Fan turned his head and was surprised when he saw it. He hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and when he saw the two people who brought him back, he couldn't help but ask: " Thank you two for sending him back, I wonder if Guangchuan is this?"
The two looked at each other, obviously not expecting that there was such a person in Suizhou's family, and seeing that Tang Fan didn't look like a servant, maybe Suizhou's brother or something, they said, "Sir, you drank too much at the banquet. , the commander-in-chief asked us to send him back."
While talking, Sui Zhou seemed to want to keep walking forward, but he didn't expect his feet to soften, so he fell forward. Tang Fan quickly supported his figure with his shoulders, but the strength of the two was not on the same level, but instead Being led by him, he also crooked to the side.
However, he saw Suizhou hug Tang Fan directly, the smell of alcohol rushing towards him, he used his nose and mouth to sniff and rub against each other, and shouted "Qing Niang" and "Qing Niang" in his mouth. The anxious appearance of the alcohol rising is very different from the usual indifferent and self-contained person.
Tang Fan was at a loss as to who the "Qing Niang" was, and held him down to prevent him from making a fool of himself in front of the two subordinates.
"Qing Niang, go, let's go back to the room, you answered me during the day, I want..." The ambiguous and hot breath sprayed on his ear, and he didn't know if it was alcohol or heat, which made Tang Fan's ears warm slightly. He couldn't help but take a step back, but he couldn't push the opponent's strength like an iron hoop, and he was still firmly embraced.
When the two saw this, they thought that Sui Zhenfu usually pretended to be indifferent in front of people, but he didn't expect to be lecherous in private. The beautiful concubine, but now he is catching his brother and shouting, which is ridiculous.
The two exchanged tacit and ambiguous glances with each other, and then said to Tang Fan, "It's getting late, and I won't disturb the rest of the adults, so I'll take my leave."
Tang Fan couldn't break free from Suizhou's embrace, so he said a few polite words to them with a wry smile, watched the two leave, and dragged a "big burden" over to close the door and bolt, and then helped the person to the inner room.
Entering Suizhou's room, Tang Fan was helping the person to sit on the bed, but he didn't expect that the other person's arm was so hard that he was directly overwhelmed on his back.
Master Tang sighed: "How long do you have to pretend?"
The person on the body made a move: "How do you see it?"
Tang Fan smiled and said, "Of course it's because of my understanding of you, but what happened just now?"
Suizhou said: "Since Wantong came back, he has always wanted to regroup, and the envoy of the Nanzhen Fusi has been replaced by his person, but on the Beizhen Fusi, his previous power was beaten by Mr. Yuan. I was scattered, and I couldn't move for a while, so I had to put down my body temporarily, hoping to use the tender method to slowly figure it out. Today, he invited people from the Nanbei Town Fusi, hoping to test my purpose for the abolition of the crown prince from my mouth. I don't want to. After dealing with him, he pretended to be drunk and came back first."
Tang Fan knew about this. Suizhou did not belong to the group of ministers of the imperial court in essence. He did not rely on anyone and remained neutral. This was why Emperor Chenghua trusted him. Wantong naturally saw this. One point, if Suizhou can support him, then Wantong can not only regain the power he lost in Jinyiwei, but also win a strong aid like Suizhou.
"He must have promised you a lot of benefits?" Tang Fan said with a smile.
"I don't care about those so-called benefits." Suizhou didn't care.
Tang Fan coughed and pushed him: "Okay, uncle, everyone is gone, there is no need to play, just go find your young lady."
Sui Zhou let out a chuckle: "Who is your Dao Qingniang?"
Although he was pretending to be drunk just now, he did drink a lot tonight, and now he is a little drunk when he smiles.
Tang Fan: "How do I know who it is."
Suizhou: "Those who run Qing, just take the last word, isn't that Qing Niang?"
Tang Fan: "..."
To be honest, in fact, if you think about it for a while, you can think of this section, but for some reason, he never thought of it.
With his own ingenuity, this is not reasonable.
Master Tang couldn't help being distracted for a moment, and when he felt the weight on his body increased slightly, he regained his senses.
I saw that the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, almost nose-to-nose, and even the breaths were intertwined with each other.
Under such a focused and silent gaze from the other party, Master Tang successfully blushed...
"you… "
He only said one word, and the other person's head slowly drooped down, then directly pressed against his neck, and fell asleep.
Tang Fan: "..."
