Chapter 1079: Fan Jiang
"Mei Niang is here? Hahaha. Li Zhi motioned to the eunuch to let Wu Zetian in. Then he looked at Chen Fei and said with a smile: "Zicheng, you took me to the temple to offer incense, otherwise you wouldn't have ...... Hahaha, come, Mei Niang, this is Lord Chen Feichen, the Yongle Gong I have been talking to you, you and I have a lot of thanks to Zicheng, but I have to thank him. β
As she spoke, Wu Zetian had already walked closer, she glanced at Chen Fei curiously, and then gave a salute. "Zhaoyi has seen Your Majesty and Lord Chen."
This is the first time Chen Fei has seen Wu Zetian, at a cursory glance, his appearance is indeed shocking, and it is no wonder that Li Zhi will be fascinated, regardless of etiquette and shame, he wants to take Wu Zetian into the palace.
Chen Fei didn't dare to keep staring at others, but after a slight glance, he shifted his gaze and didn't dare.
"Zicheng, Mei Niang made some mung bean soup, you can also drink some to clear the heat and relieve the heat." Li Zhi beckoned Chen Fei to come and sit down and drink, Chen Fei touched his nose, took a bowl of soup from the handmaiden's handmaiden, and drank it without sitting down. After drinking, he didn't stay long, obviously not wanting to disturb Li Zhi's "sweet time" and hurriedly said goodbye.
And Wu Zetian leaned on Li Zhi's arms, looked at the door and said a little distractedly: "Your Majesty, the meeting between the concubine and Your Majesty in the temple that day was really... Did Lord Chen arrange it? β
"Well, I was still strange that day, why did he bring me to the temple in the middle of the night, it turned out, haha, with such an arrangement, he really had a heart." Li Zhi said with a smile.
A strange light flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes, but she didn't say anything, and quickly put on a smiling face, picked up the bowl and fed Li Zhi soup.
Chen Fei walked out of the hall, glanced back, took out the order and looked at it again, laughed, turned around and walked out, and whispered to himself: "This is just the first step, I hope you don't let me down." β
Half an hour later, he appeared in front of Fan Jiang with a look of disgust.
Fan Jiang is in charge of a side door on the east city wall, this door Chen Fei is very familiar with, it is the door from Chang'an City to Guozijian, when he first entered Chang'an City, it was Guozijian, pinching his fingers, although fourteen years have passed, he has gradually become a middle-aged uncle from a young boy.
Well, at the age of twenty-nine, you can still grab the tail of youth. Chen Fei touched his beard and smiled.
He took a turn outside the Guozi Prison and didn't go in, because the Guozi Prison had long been a matter of people, and Li Zhuo, Qian Zhongshu and others, who had played with him at the beginning, were now mixing well in the Qi Workshop, and Zhu Suiliang, who was a little kind to himself...... The political views of the two are somewhat deviant, and I am afraid that they will gradually go to opposite sides in the future. And Chen Fei has always been close to the military attachΓ©, so the relationship between the two has also weakened a lot.
He stood outside the prison and turned to leave, returning to the gate of the side city. I didn't see Fan Jiang when I came, but now I walked back, but I happened to see Fan Jiang coming to change the guard.
I haven't seen him for a long time, Fan Jiang has already changed his appearance, and Chen Fei is a little afraid to go up to recognize him. Fan Jiang is five or six years older than Chen Fei, and now he is only thirty-four or five years old. If it is put in the future generations, it is appropriate for him to gain a bunch of female fans with his appearance and aura.
But now...... His hair looked like he hadn't been taken care of for a few months, his beard looked like he hadn't shaved for a while, and he looked listless, like an ordinary veteran, living at the city gate, waiting for his old age to die.
It's no wonder that even if the city gate is guarded, this side of the city gate is also the most remote one, which has to make people feel unmotivated.
Unexpectedly, a fierce general who galloped on the battlefield and killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions has now become such a decadent appearance.
Chen Feizai silently recited a sin in his heart. It's also to blame that he didn't think it through at the beginning, otherwise Fan Jiang wouldn't have carried such a big pot, and he would have carried it for five years.
This time, let him make amends a little.
Chen Fei stepped forward, Fan Jiang also saw Chen Fei, he opened his mouth slightly, and before he could speak, he was pulled aside by Chen Fei.
"General Fan, long time no see."
Fan Jiang sighed bitterly: "My lord, after many years, Fan... Alas. β
Chen Fei couldn't bear to see Fan Jiang like this, and patted him on the shoulder. "General Fan, there were also my bad things back then, in fact, the theft of things has a lot to do with me, but it has affected General Fan, and I have been here for five years."
Fan Jiang smiled bitterly and didn't speak.
Chen Fei took out the order in his hand and stuffed it into Fan Jiang's hand. "But today, I have good news to tell General Fan, it's all written on it, General Fan open it and take a look."
Fan Jiang was puzzled and launched the order, and soon, his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time in surprise.
"General Fan, how's it going? Although this appointment came a little late, it lived up to your expectations, right? β
"Official...... The official is promoted to one rank and returns to his original post. Big... My lord... It's ......"
"This is what Your Majesty meant, congratulations to General Fan for not only being reinstated, but also being promoted to the next level, and the defense of the Qi Workshop will rely on General Fan a lot in the future."
Fan Jiang was stunned for a long time, picked up the order and looked at it again, and finally trembled and wanted to kneel down for Chen Fei: "The last general thanks Lord Chen for his promotion, the grace of recreation, the last general will not be able to repay!" β
"Hahaha!" Chen Fei didn't dare to accept Fan Jiang's kneeling and helped him up. "Brother Fan, don't be so polite, you and I have been born and died so many times, do you still need to care about this etiquette? Besides, these are all your Majesty's intentions, and you don't need to be grateful to me. Chen Fei blinked.
Fan Jiang is not a fool, although Chen Fei verbally said that this was the emperor's will, but he knew that it must be Chen Fei who interceded for him in front of His Majesty, otherwise how could he, a general who had made mistakes and been forgotten, be reinstated to his original position and promoted to a small level?
"The kindness of the adults will always be remembered in the end!" Fan Jiang said excitedly.
Chen Fei patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Brother Fan, don't fix these vains, what kind of friendship do you and I have?" It doesn't have to be like this. But Your Majesty has instructed me, the Strange Workshop is very important to Your Majesty and the imperial court, so the guard must be a trustworthy confidant, after Brother Fan takes office, he must control the guards and horses in the fastest time, firmly in his own hands, and not let others take advantage of the situation, understand? β
Fan Jiang's eyes condensed slightly, and he heard some other meanings from Chen Fei's words.
"Don't worry, my lord, the end will understand."
"Haha, it's good to understand, Your Majesty doesn't want the Qi Workshop to be controlled by people with other intentions, so transfer Brother Fan back to his position, Brother Fan must behave well, don't look at the place where the Qi Workshop is not big, but the merits are a lot of money, and it will not be a problem to be promoted to become rich in a few years......" Chen Fei suddenly changed his words and said with a smile: "Hehe, go!" I'm happy today, I'll talk about work later, let's find a restaurant to have a good time! β
Fan Jiang showed a smile on his face, took off the clothes of the city gate guards on his body, and said with a smile: "Okay! Don't get drunk today!
