After leaving Longqing's imperial study and having a cordial conversation with Feng Bao who was waiting outside the door, Zhang Fan went to the East Palace to visit Zhu Yijun.

He doesn't know how many times he has walked this road, and he is already ripe. As I walked, I couldn't help but think of the conversation with Longqing. To be honest, after receiving such a large-scale reward from Longqing, it would be a lie to say that Zhang Fan was not excited at all. But there was something else in his mind, what was this? Is it legal embezzlement? No, after all, it was authorized by Longqing, the great emperor, but what would those ministers think when they found out? Another Yan Song? No, they don't dare, what is Zhang Fan's identity by then? The third-class earl of the name of loyalty and courage is titled, Fengtian Yiyun pushes sincerity, and the prince and the prince are also leading the brocade guard, who dares to argue with him! However, Zhang Fan felt that he was only in his early twenties this year, but he was a little worried that he was too sharp, after all, he was a big man. But he let go of his worries, as long as he is not ready to rebel, the two generations of emperors Longqing and Zhu Yijun will ensure that they are rich and safe in their lives.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan had already walked into the East Palace. Zhu Yijun was very happy to see Zhang Fan, and pulled him to ask questions. Zhang Fan saw that he cared, and he was moved in his heart, but he was also impatient, and told him about this distress. In addition to the thrill, Zhu Yijun and a group of eunuchs and palace maids around him were sometimes nervous and sometimes excited with Zhang Fan's narration. Especially when Zhang Fan talked about Li Yingyue, he didn't intend to hide it, and said it directly. Zhu Yijun was very moved when he heard it, and although those little palace maids were used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people in the palace, they were still girlish feelings, yearning for such a love, and couldn't help but envy Li Yingyue for meeting Zhang Fan, a beautiful son, and the eyes that looked at him were also full of spring. Zhang Fan turned a blind eye, but it made them fall in love even more.

"Taifu." Zhu Yijun shouted, he had long wanted to call Zhang Fan like this, but now he can finally say it generously, "Father told me, will Taifu go to Jiangnan when his injuries heal?" ”

"Exactly." Zhang Fan said, not surprised that Zhu Yijun knew about it.

"It's a pity that the beauty of Jiangnan described in those poetry books is not seen in this palace." Zhu Yijun was a little lost, and suddenly his face turned happy, and he said, "It's better to go to the palace and ask the emperor to let the palace and the prince go to Jiangnan to play together." ”

Zhang Fan liked Zhu Yijun very much, but Zhu Yijun pestered him so much that he was a little embarrassed, and said: "I'm afraid this is not good, the emperor sent his ministers there not to play, but to go on business." ”

"What does it matter?" Zhu Yijun said with some dissatisfaction, "Could it be that going to this palace will hinder the Taifu Gong?" ”

"Of course you will get in the way if you go!" Zhang Fan said in his heart, but he was also patiently enlightened: "The emperor went there this time to check the taxes and find out those corrupt officials. If His Highness goes down, those people will definitely cower, and it will be difficult for the ministers to verify. ”

Zhu Yijun has a childish temperament, but he doesn't understand this, he just lost his temper for a while, and suddenly asked: "How is Sister Ru Xue, then the Japanese palace went to the Taifu's house and saw that Sister Ru Xue was in a trance, and no matter how she persuaded her, she didn't respond." ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, the minister's wife is already well." For Zhu Yijun's concern, Zhang Fan is very grateful.

"That's good." Zhu Yijun said, but he suddenly changed his expression and said, "Listening to what Taifu said just now, he must be taking that Li Yingyue as a concubine." Taifu can't let down Sister Ru Xue. ”

Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard his words, and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, Ru Xue is the minister's wife, and the minister will definitely not fail her." ”

Out of the palace, Zhang Fan returned home, and after visiting his mother and his wife, he met Zhaoxue on the road, and it was very embarrassing for the two to meet. Looking at Zhao Xue's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhang Fan really didn't know what to say, and went into the room where Yingyue was on the side.

Seeing him avoid him, Zhao Xue couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and secretly made up her mind that she would take the initiative next time. Although this is a little embarrassing for her daughter's family, Zhaoxue has never been a character who can't hide things. I have been secretly in love with Zhang Fan for more than a year, but I held this matter in my heart for the happiness of my sister, and she was very happy to say it in front of my sister that day. She also has to grasp her future now, and she can't watch happiness slip away from her.

Entering the Yingyue room, Zhang Fan closed the door and let out a long breath, and Zhao Xue's eyes just now made him a little overwhelmed. After calming down for a while, he found himself in Yingyue's room.

Yingyue can't move now, but her spirit is much better, lying on the bed and looking at Zhang Fan with interesting eyes, she also guessed the scene outside just now.

"Why, Brother Fan was not afraid of the Tartar ferocious iron horse that day, but now he is afraid of a little girl!" Yingyue teased him in a somewhat teasing voice.

When Zhang Fan heard this, he was a little embarrassed, came to her bed and sat down, and said, "My good moon, don't make fun of me." She's my sister-in-law, if she really makes me ...... What did you tell me to say in front of Ru Xue and their father? In fact, Ru Xue had already agreed, he said this only because of Chen Wenchuan.

"I don't believe you didn't think about it." Yingyue said, "You men are all duplicitous, saying that you don't want to, but in your heart you don't know where you have thought of it a long time ago. Hypocrite! ”

Zhang Fan was embarrassed by what she said, thinking that he was a big man, and now that his official fortune is prosperous and proud, how could he not have thought about these things in his heart. It's just that today's Zhang Fan really has some sour bad temper as she said. It's just that in front of Yingyue, a woman who lives and dies with him, Zhang Fan takes off all his masks with peace of mind, making him feel more relaxed and real with Yingyue than with Ru Xue.

Seeing her teasing face, Zhang Fan somehow got the courage, and his hand dishonestly reached into the futon and touched her body. Yingyue felt his strange hand, and his face was slightly ruddy, but he didn't refuse, and said, "Looking at your anxious expression, I knew that if you were like this, where would this girl enter your house." ”

"Now that you are a sheep in the wolf's den, you can't escape if you want to." Zhang Fan smiled evilly, and couldn't help but turn over and press her body, but he was afraid of touching her wound, so he propped one hand on the bed and said, "I said that I will marry you." The emperor ordered me to be in charge of the Jinyi Guard, if you dare to run, there is no place in this world that can hide from my eyes. ”

"I won't run, although I have some grievances with you, it's good." Yingyue quibbled, but she didn't say anything more and asked for a kiss from Ailang.

Zhang Fan saw his delicate appearance with his eyes slightly closed, and he no longer pretended to be a gentleman, and covered his mouth with cherry lips and kissed her. But it didn't take long for Zhang Fan to stop.

Yingyue knew the reason, and her body felt Zhang Fan's hand touch her bandaged wound. Stroking these wounds left in order to protect himself, Zhang Fan was very distressed, looking at Yingyue's jade face, he couldn't help but say, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Yingyue shook her head softly and said, "I'm just afraid of leaving a scar and making you hate it." ”

"No, how could I hate it!" Zhang Fan said, "These scars will only make me love you more." After saying that, the two kissed again.

These days, Zhang Fan did not appear in the sight of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military again, but only occasionally attacked to accompany Zhu Yijun to talk, or went to the teacher Zhang Juzheng's house to talk to him. Now Xu Jiezhishi, Zhang Juzheng's road to reform is unhindered, but Gao Gong is reinstated, although he will not oppose Zhang Juzheng's reform, but Gao Gong is now bent on cleaning up those who have different political views from his own, and Longqing is not controlled, so that everyone in the Manchu Dynasty is now in danger. Zhang Juzheng also has no plans to implement it immediately.

Among the four cabinet ministers, Guo Pu and Gao Gong wear a pair of pants; And Li Chunfang is a good person, who does not offend others, and others always have some distance from him; The rest of Zhang Juzheng was quite upright in the eyes of the courtiers, and those who felt threatened now came to him for help. It's just that Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong had an agreement that they would not interfere with his purge of political enemies, but he couldn't let go of his subordinates and refused to do so, so he had to call Longqing sick, hide at home and refuse to see guests, and only a few cabinet ministers and Zhang Fan could enter the mansion.

Several cabinet ministers couldn't count on it, so those people looked at Zhang Fan and wanted to get in touch with Zhang Juzheng through him. Now is the time for Zhang Fan to recuperate, so in front of Zhang's mansion is a door-to-door appearance, many ministers have personally come to "visit" Zhang Fan, and even some of the court officials of the second grade, and the books of various ministries are no exception, with generous gifts, and even directly brought their daughters to Zhang's mansion. Zhang Fan wanted to leave these women behind, but seeing that Zhao Xue had the expression of biting these coy foxes to death, he had to give up. And when Zhang Fan made it clear that he couldn't do anything, these people still left the generous gifts they brought, and left with the woman who was treated as a cargo, which made Zhang Fan very troubled.

But that has recently changed. A few days ago, Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, asked Longqing to resign from the post of commander of Jinyiwei, saying that he was old and tired, and wanted to go home to play with his juniors and live for a long time. Longqing then accepted his resignation with "nostalgia" in "grief", and then immediately appointed Zhang Fan as the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Jinyiwei, as the spy agency of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to supervise hundreds of officials, these people are going to "visit" Zhang Fan with courtesy, aren't they killing themselves! This made Zhang Fanqing calm down.

At the beginning, some ministers were dissatisfied with the decision made by Longqing, but Jinyiwei belonged to the emperor's personal guard, and the appointment of the commander was completely based on the emperor's preferences.

Entering March, Zhang Fan's injuries have long healed, and even Yingyue can walk freely. The two of them did not suffer any stiff injuries that hurt their muscles and bones, although they were serious, they were only skin injuries, and with careful conditioning and the maintenance of many precious medicinal materials, they were no longer in serious trouble. Now Zhang Fan has also completely mastered Jinyiwei, after all, he is a saint, and the following colleagues and servants also know that Longqing likes Zhang Fan very much. Wang Meng's injury was almost better, Zhang Fan wanted to promote him to an official, but he refused, and still wanted to be Zhang Fan's guard, and Zhang Fan also rewarded him with a lot of property.

At home, the Zhao family is very fond of Yingyue, although Zhang Fancai and Ru Xue have not been married for a long time, but she is also very happy to be able to have more daughters-in-law to give her a few more fat grandchildren. However, Zhao Xue was slightly hostile to Yingyue, after all, her sister was married to Zhang Fan, and it was impossible for her to eat her sister's vinegar. But for Yingyue, who has already established a relationship with Zhang Fan, the little girl feels a sense of crisis, after all, there are many people, and Zhang Fan's love for her will be divided away at that time, plus Zhang Fan is always hiding from her, which makes Zhaoxue very annoyed.

As the days passed, the messenger of the answer came to the capital again, and came to discuss with the Ming court the location of the mutual market. The leader is Huang Taiji, the eldest son of My Answer who had a relationship with Zhang Fan.
