Chapter 55: The Prince

The power of heaven is unpredictable, Fang Zheng sighed, do emperors like to play tricks? If you say something clearly, it won't be over, if you say it vaguely, it will make the people below suspicious, and if you can't get it, you will be cut off because you misunderstood the emperor's meaning, so why bother? Died unjustly?

Fang Zheng walked all the way in the direction of the palace gate, pondering all the way, and suddenly a shrill voice came from his ears: "Bold!" Who are you? Why didn't you salute when you saw His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Fang Zheng looked up, and when he looked up, he was about to walk to the gate of the inner city, there were many people standing in front of him, a group of eunuchs and palace maids were surrounding a young man in a dark yellow dragon robe in the middle, this young man had gloomy eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and the whole person looked like a villain in a movie, which made people feel very uncomfortable, especially when his eyes looked at Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng felt like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, which made him feel inexplicably trembling.

Holding back the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, Fang Zheng stepped forward and bowed his hand: "Wei Chen is riding on the right side to serve Fang Zheng, and I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The eunuch next to him stepped forward and scolded: "Bold! Seeing that the prince wants to kneel and bow, don't you understand this rule? How did you become an official? Someone's coming......"

"Stand down." The crown prince waved the shouting eunuch back, then walked up to Fang Zheng and smiled, "You are Fang Zheng?" Lone has heard of you, you are a great hero of my Chinese Dynasty, and Lone wants to thank you on behalf of the people of the world. ”

The prince's words were very modest and his attitude was very gentle, but there was a strong sense of rejection in Fang Zheng's heart. I have to admit that the relationship between people is innate, and often the first impression determines whether the future is friend or foe.

"Wechen don't dare to be a hero, the real heroes are those who sneaked into the barracks, and the warriors who raided the grassland, Wechen just moved his mouth, and he can't be considered a hero."

"Why should Lord Fang be humble, if there is no Lord Fang to offer advice to the court this time, my Dahua may have already fallen under the Turkic iron horse, and the people will be miserable, now the land can be preserved, and the people can live in peace, thanks to Lord Fang's merits."

Is this guy hanging a book bag endlessly? Fang Zheng was quite impatient in his heart, unconsciously looked up at the sky, and said absent-mindedly perfunctorily: "How dare you ......?"

Seeing that Fang Zheng was talking to him perfunctorily, the prince flashed a little annoyed in his eyes, but said with a smile on his face: "Lonely will not disturb Lord Fang's official business, Lord Fang, please take it." ”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng hurriedly arched his hand and said, "In this way, Weichen has retired." ”

said that he didn't wait for the prince to say, and hurriedly turned around and left.

The prince suddenly stopped Fang Zheng and said with a smile: "Lord Fang, some time ago, I heard that Miss Yanran of Qinhuai River was ransomed by you, and now you are a big and small Dengke, double happiness is coming, and I want to congratulate you here." ”

Fang Zheng said, what does this mean? Oh, why did the ancient people always talk in twists and turns, isn't it good to say some vernacular?

Fang Zheng bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." After saying that, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, turned around and left.

Looking at Fang Zheng's distant back, the prince's face was a little fierce and resentful, and the eunuch beside him trembled.

Halfway through, Shang Zheng remembered that the painting boat where Yanran used to stay was the prince's property! It was still the fat man who did not hesitate to turn his face with the prince before he ransomed Yanran. No wonder the prince mentioned Yanran to me, could it be that he wants me to accept his favor?

Hum! Dream! It's my woman who is mine after all, it's not my woman who is still mine, and no one will admit it.

When I got home, it was already the time to hold the lamp, the door of the Fang Mansion was brilliantly lit, the middle door was opened, and more than 50 people lined up in two columns, standing quietly at the door, looking straight ahead with a solemn expression. Wow, the quality of these people today is very high, being an official is different, how have I ever seen them greet Young Master Ben with such a proper attitude before?

Fang Zheng was greatly moved when he saw this, look at how respectful everyone is to him, he is still waiting in line for him so late, and he should be rewarded for this heart.

Fang Zheng got out of the carriage and stepped forward, took out the broken silver from his arms, and gave it to people when he saw them, and gave them to people when he saw them......

Everyone was surprised and grateful, and bowed down to thank them.

Xiao Wu stepped forward and pulled him, "Young master, wait a while, it doesn't seem right......"

Fang Zheng ignored him, he gave it when he saw someone, and he gave it when he saw someone......

At this time, Steward Sun came out of it and said to everyone: "You guys disperse, go eat." ”

And when they were rewarded, they scattered with smiles on their faces.

Fang Zheng was stunned, and then a little unhappy, what are you doing? Is there such a greeting for people? I just finished giving the silver, young master, I haven't entered the door yet, why did everyone disperse?

After Steward Sun finished speaking, he looked up and saw Fang Zheng, and hurriedly stepped forward and said attentively, "Young Master, you are back." ”

Fang Zheng pointed to the backs of the people under him, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's going on? I haven't even entered the door, why are people leaving? Didn't they welcome me back? ”

Steward Sun said: "The young master misunderstood, His Royal Highness the Prince sent someone over to give gifts, and the master said that the prince is the prince of a country, and he should open the middle door and line up to greet him, so ......"

Didn't these guys greet the young master for a long time? Fang Zheng was inexplicably sad and indignant for a while, and chased forward and shouted loudly: "Give me back the silver!" ”

…………

The side hall was full of dazzling gifts, Master Fang was sitting on the Taishi chair, closing his eyes and recuperating, and Mrs. Fang was looking at the gift list with a happy face.

Seeing Fang Zheng come in, Mrs. Fang stepped forward, rubbed Fang Zheng's head happily, and thought that her son was already a person with officials and lords, this kind of action was not appropriate, so she gently stroked his head a few times.

"Zheng'er, you just entered the palace for the first time today, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send gifts, my son is so powerful, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately made friends." Mrs. Fang said happily.

Fang Zheng looked at the gift list casually, and was startled when he saw it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really generous. The pearls of the East Sea, the corals of the South Sea, boxes of gold ingots, mountains of silk cloth...... If these things were converted into silver, it would be about two or three hundred thousand taels.

What the hell does this prince want to do? Is there such a way to win over people? I look down on Young Master Ben's personality too much! Is Young Master Ben the kind of person who is easily co-opted?

"Steward Sun, ask someone to move these things to the warehouse." Fang Zheng commanded loudly.

Old Man Fang frowned and said, "Zheng'er, did you know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before?" ”

"I don't know."

"Then why did he give you such a valuable gift? Is there something going on here? If you don't have any merit, you have to think about it if you don't accept this gift. Master Fang nodded to Fang Zheng implicitly.

"Dad, it's okay, just take it away, and if you return it now, I'm afraid that it will definitely offend the prince, so it's better to keep it, he can send it with peace of mind, and I will receive it happily, hehe." Fang Zheng said with a big grin.

"Zheng'er, now that you are an official, between words and deeds, you have to think carefully, don't miss the future."

Mrs. Fang was surprised on the side: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave gifts with an inside story?" Zheng'er, this ...... It's not proper, don't accept it, think of a way to return it, our family is not short of money. ”

"Mother, it's okay, let's put it in the warehouse first, the child has his own plans." Fang Zheng said confidently.

Eating something in his mouth, how could Young Master Ben spit it out? I don't care what the purpose of the prince's gift-giving, I will accept it correctly, young master, and I am not the first person who does not do anything when he receives gifts......

"Zheng'er, what did the emperor tell you today? You didn't mess around in front of the emperor, right? Old Man Fang looked at him worriedly.

"No, I think the emperor likes me a lot, really, maybe he still wants to take me as a son-in-law."

"The mouth is not covered! Beware of woe from the mouth! Old Man Fang reprimanded.

Fang Zheng said casually: "By the way, Dad, the emperor said that from tomorrow onwards, I will be allowed to go to the court every day to participate in political affairs......"

"Oh? Is this true? Master Fang and Mrs. Fang glanced at each other happily, "I didn't expect my son to be so honored by the Holy Family, Zheng'er, you have to be a good errand, don't let the emperor down." ”

"What do you mean by child......" Fang Zheng looked up and peeked at his father, "...... If you tell the emperor that the child doesn't want to go to court, I don't know if the emperor will agree......" The more he said, the quieter he became, and he seemed very weak.

"Why?" Old Man Fang frowned.

"It may not be a good thing for a child to feel that he is too young to be in the rank of a minister at such an age......"

The most important thing is that every day, that is, at three or four o'clock in the morning, he starts to go to court, how can he stand the lazy character of Master Yifang? Young Master Fang's ideal after crossing over is to enjoy life, not to suffer.

"The fact that my son can think so proves that you are sensible. Hehe, the old man doesn't understand the affairs of the court and politics, but since the emperor has arranged it like this, he must have his reasons, Zheng'er, you can't come by temperament. Master Fang naturally didn't know that Fang Zheng still had so many twists and turns in his heart, and stroked his long beard and smiled with relief.

Fang Zheng respectfully said yes.

Back in the small courtyard, Fang Zheng took off his official boots, lay down on the big bed, and stretched his waist. I was tired to death after half a day, and I kowtowed a lot just by kowtowing, the ancients had a bad problem, what was the kowtow, how good the handshake was, it was both polite and graceful, and it also saved time and effort.

What will I do tomorrow morning? It seems that no one told me what to do, where to stand in the court, what etiquette to observe, etc., the emperor is so relieved, not afraid that I will make a fool of myself? Or does he like to see me make a fool of myself?

Xiao Lu came in with a basin of hot water and said, "Young master, wash your face." ”

When Fang Zheng saw Xiao Lu, his spirits perked up, "Xiao Lu, is it okay for my brother to take you to see the goldfish?" ”

"Young master, stop playing, hurry up and wash your face." Midori snorted.

Although Xiao Lu's mother is still missing, the relationship between Fang Zheng and Xiao Lu has made a breakthrough, and now Xiao Lu is also talking and laughing in front of Fang Zheng, which is a good phenomenon,—— before women are willing to be pushed, they are talking and laughing.

"Little Green, is it hot today? Don't wear too many clothes to sleep at night, when you are in the heat of the night, it's best not to wear anything when you sleep, young master, I'm willing to help you fan for free, how cool it is. Fang Zheng smiled lewdly.

Xiao Lu stomped his feet in shame: "Young master! No more gibberish, be careful...... Be careful with my ......"

Saying that, Xiao Lu looked around, took a white porcelain teacup lid on the table of the Eight Immortals, put it in the palm of his left hand, and then snorted softly, slapped it with his right hand violently, and then slowly let go of his right hand, only to see that the cup lid suddenly turned into powdery fines.

Fang Zheng was dumbfounded, is this still human? Am I going to travel back into fantasy novels? I knew that Xiao Lu would do martial arts, but I didn't expect Xiao Lu's martial arts to be so powerful, if this palm slapped him just now, I am afraid that it will be worse than being hit by the palm of the bone, right?

“…… Master, what's wrong with you? Xiao Lu patted the fine powder on his hand easily, looked at Fang Zheng as if demonstratively, and saw that Fang Zheng opened his mouth wide and did not move, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"Transform ...... Bone ...... Palm? Fang Zheng stammered in fright and asked.

Xiao Lu frowned at the delicate willow eyebrows: "Turning bones into palms? Why does the name sound so yin? It's not a good number. ”

"The ...... you just made"

"What Xiao Lu just used to do is just the basic skills when he practiced before, clap his hands, Xiao Lu had to shoot hundreds of times a day when he was a child."

Is this just the basic skill when practicing? Still don't let people live?

Seeing that the deterrent action had taken effect, Xiao Lu nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his little hand and gently supported Fang Zheng's chin, helping him close his wide open mouth.

"Young master, don't worry, Xiao Lu will never do this to you, Xiao Lu just saw you so bad, and deliberately scared you." Xiao Lu saw that Fang Zheng was stunned, and didn't say a word for a long time, thinking that he was frightened, so he hurriedly explained.

"Little Green ......"

"Huh?"

"If you want to shoot in the future, you will go to the kitchen to find a broken bowl to shoot, this cup lid is the fine porcelain from the official kiln, two taels of silver a set, what a pity!"
