Text Chapter 35 Fan's Mansion Night Talk
At the same time, more than ten miles away, the imperial city of Fan Mansion.
Fan Tong's study.
There are huge candlesticks in the four corners, and each candlestick is lit with a huge candle made of whale oil, which is lit without smoke, without the nasty smell of smoke, and even faintly fragrant.
This is a tribute.
The tribute in the East China Sea, this is different from Du Rui's previous life, in the ancient times of Du Rui's previous life, such a huge sea creature as a whale, at that time manpower could not be captured, one is that the sea ship is not good, it is impossible to sail in the ocean, and the other is that the whaling equipment and the like are not good, and there is no choice but to take such a behemoth, and in this world, because of the magical martial arts, whaling is not too difficult.
Innate masters, they can stay in the air for a short time, and when they reach the realm of grandmasters, it is even more magical.
Of course, it would be an exaggeration to use an innate master or a grandmaster-level big man to go whaling.
However, on the seaside, there are some special whalers, and the Giant Whale Gang on the coast of the East China Sea is composed of a group of whalers, among them, two or three first-class masters who have opened up the Great Zhou Tian can chase those big whales in the East China Sea with some specific weapons, and hunt a big whale, and the harvest is also quite considerable.
After all, whales are treasures all over the body.
Of course, as a royal family, even if the imperial power is somewhat declining, after all, it is still a unified world, and the jiedu envoys in Qingzhou and Xuzhou are not like the jiedu envoys on Yan Zhao's side who ignore the imperial power, and they can't be so unscrupulous.
Naturally, there are tributes.
It stands to reason that the tribute can only be enjoyed by the imperial family, and the emperor can give the tribute to the courtiers below, of course, including the chamberlains and palace maids around him.
However, in the current Daming Palace, although Yingzong's words are also effective, in fact, in private, he is not as good as that one, the one who is called the ancestor by Fan Tong, Xue Zhuo and other eunuchs speaks effectively, sometimes, Yingzong's will, they will disobey the yang and yin, and find all kinds of reasons to procrastinate, if this will hurts their interests, and that one's order, even if they let them die, they dare not disobey.
Like tribute, these were originally managed by the chamberlain.
The so-called self-filling pocket is not too much.
Fan Tong's level as the chief eunuch has a very good relationship with the eunuch Hai Gonggong, who is in charge of the internal affairs department.
The candlelight reflected Fan Tong's face, pale and bloodless, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate, he was in his forties, he was still like this, there was a faint charm in it, yes, before he entered the palace, he sang opera, and he still sang Danjiao.
Therefore, it is not for nothing that Fan Wuji likes to sing.
Fan Wuji's face is somewhat similar to Fan Tong, his eyebrows and eyes are as delicate, but unlike Fan Tong, there is a trace of oiliness in his eyes, and when he ponders, this oiliness appears unconsciously, and the whole person looks a little cunning. Fan Tong is different, there is more of a fierce aura in his eyes, once he squints, he wants to kill.
With a high position like him, the city government is deep, and it is easy not to reveal his emotions.
Now, in his own study, the chair in front of him is his nephew, and now his son Fan Wuji, Fan Tong has also taken off the disguise of a big man, and his face is full of fatigue.
Unlike those gate valve families, the furnishings in Fan Tong's house are very common.
There are no rules for sitting cross-legged, and there is no wooden couch and brocade mat futon, and his house has only tables and chairs and beds away from the ground, which is the so-called no tradition, and Hu Feng is extremely prosperous.
He often scoffed at so-called traditions.
Just like the ancestors said, what suits you is good!
Yes, they often listen carefully to the words of their ancestors, for Fan Tong, comfort is the first place, as for the other bullshit rules, they are just bullshit.
"Say, what is your impression of Handan-kun......"
Fan Wuji met Handan Jun by the Weishui, such a major thing naturally inevitably had to tell Fan Tong, Fan Wuji knew that his previous nonsense Fan Tong was actually clear, but those were just small things that were insignificant, what was it to kill a few ordinary people, to blame, I can only blame them for their bad fate, they were not born in a high-ranking family, but they provoked people who couldn't be messed with.
Like today's daylight, Fan Wuji would not dare to deceive Fan Tong.
Even if Fan Tong returned home very late, even if it was already midnight, he still came to the study and told Fan Tong about today's situation, Fan Tong was very cautious and made sure he explained everything clearly.
Today, during the day, Fan Wuji was accompanying Du Rui, and before dusk, he also found a carriage to send Du Rui back to Xuanzhen Temple.
In fact, he had already told everything in 1510, and now, Fan Tong was still asking about his impression.
"Handan-kun is not an idiot......"
After pondering for a moment, Fan Wuji said categorically.
Fan Tong raised his head, looked at the beam above his head, was silent and did not speak, Fan Wuji saw this, and did not say anything more, in the room, silence was floating with the wind, and in the distance, there was the sound of a husband's bang.
After a while, Fan Tong lowered his head, he touched his chin, leaned back in the chair, and made himself more comfortable.
"It seems that the rumors in the palace are not wrong, after that incident, this Handan Jun was stimulated, and there was really a change......
Fan Tong whispered, as if talking to himself, and after a while, he looked up at Fan Wuji and asked softly.
"What else?"
"Father, although Handan-kun is not an idiot, he is not much better than a fool, he is a little clumsy, whether it is speaking or acting, he is a little clumsy, from time to time, he still fugues, and it is very difficult to talk to him...... I also heard the news from those two guys, they met Handan Jun in Xinglu, that is, a medical hall, the two guys went bankrupt and took a large amount of money to bribe Wei Yue beside Handan Jun, so they invited Handan Jun to come forward and force me to make concessions......"
Fan Wuji said with some indignation.
Fan Tong glanced at him.
"Why do you have to be ...... child?"
He tapped lightly on the arm of his chair and said lightly.
"What's in your way? When you deal with them, you just want to let out a bad breath and be humiliated by the Gu family...... This is actually a kind of cowardly performance, the ancestors said, this is incompetence, it's just that you are still young, I am too lazy to care about you, many things, it is useless, only after you suffer a loss, will you have a sense of awakening! ”
"Yes, my father is right!"
Fan Wuji lowered his head and said very sincerely.
"Alright, don't put on a show like this!"
Fan Tong waved his hand and changed the subject.
"What do you mean, this Handan-kun is not yet complete, and there is still a gap between him and normal people?"
"Yes!"
Fan Wuji nodded, looked up and said.
"Father, the child was also taken aback by Handan Jun at first, the momentum was very amazing, so that the child thought that the male lord Taizong was alive, but, following all the way, after careful observation, I found that he was obedient to the maid beside him, I heard that the maid had been taking care of him since he was very young, combined with the words of the two guys, the child thought that the current Handan Jun is almost the same as a puppet, and all words and deeds are in the hands of Wei Yue and the maid!"
"Are you sure?"
Fan Tong stared at Fan Wuji and said meaningfully.
Fan Wuji gritted his teeth and nodded very hard.
"Yes, you can be sure! This Handan-kun is more ordinary than ordinary people, there is nothing to be seen! ”
Fan Tong nodded and said a few hellos.
"In this way, you will deal well with those two old friends in the future, and from time to time, you will go to meet Handan Jun, give him more money, help him run more errands, and try to get acquainted with each other, so that he can have you in his heart......"
"Father, don't you understand?"
Fan Wuji looked up at Fan Tong with a puzzled expression.
Yes, in his opinion, since Handan Jun's qualifications are so poor, he is destined to have no future, so why bet on him? Isn't it right to stay away?
Fan Tong let himself get closer to him instead?
He couldn't understand it.
Looking at Fan Wuji with a blank face, Fan Tong wanted to say, just do it, but after thinking about it, he still made an explanation.
"Child, it is precisely because Handan Jun is a mediocre person, worse than ordinary people's qualifications, you can get in touch, if he is really a man and a little bit like Taizu, wise and martial is similar to Taizong, you have to stay away from him, as a prince, even if you have no ambition, as long as you are good enough, it is dangerous enough, and in this situation, it is actually dangerous to let you get close to him!"
"Ah......h
Fan Wuji understood some of them, and some of them still didn't understand.
Fan Tong glanced at him and didn't explain anymore, he waved his hand and motioned for Fan Wuji to step back.
"Don't pay so much attention to it, just listen to your father......"
"Yes, Father!"
Fan Wuji nodded, bowed to Fan Tong and bent down one hundred and eighty degrees, and then, retreated backwards, retreated to the door, then turned around, disappeared into the darkness outside the door, and when he left, a man in black appeared in the house silently.
"My lord, will it be dangerous to let Da Lang get close to Handanjun?"
Fan Tong smiled.
"What's at stake?"
The candlelight in the room is bright, and the man in black stands in the shadows, his face blurred, you think you can see clearly, but in your sight, there is a wandering black fog, and after that, you have no impression of him.
"In the afternoon, my subordinates drove Handan Jun back to Xuanzhen Temple, and I saw some old friends outside Xuanzhen Temple, even if the breath of those guys is separated from the entire Chang'an City, I can smell it, a smell of gutter rats!"
After a pause, the man in black said.
"Those guys are eyeing Handan-kun, or, what will they do?"
"Really?"
The smile on Fan Tong's face became even bigger, although he was smiling, his eyes narrowed even smaller, like a thin line, and the fierce light appeared.
"Young eagles always have to go through wind and rain before they can spread their wings and fly high, young people, it's better to suffer some hardships...... I asked Wuji to approach Handan-kun just to see what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods would jump out......"
He rubbed his chin and stared at the man in black.
"Ah Da, I'm going to work hard for you next, look at the ...... over there"
"No!"
The man in black answered.
The next moment, it dissipates like smoke and disappears in the room!
