Hearing Chongzhen's sigh with regret, Liu Fan smiled bitterly in his heart, and was a little speechless at Chongzhen's whimsy. www.biquge.info Chongzhen seems to be shrewd, but sometimes he is also very stupid and naïve. Otherwise, I wouldn't have heard someone play the song to cancel the post station, which can save money, so I don't care about the order of 3721 to cancel the post station. It is very important to know the role of the post station, especially in ancient times, when the transmission of information was inconvenient. Chongzhen actually banned such an important institution in order to "save money". How ridiculous and ridiculous is this?

But fortunately, Chongzhen didn't insist on going his own way this time, and finally let Liu Fan put down his heart. Since Chongzhen has promised not to kill Gao Yingxiang for the time being, it means that Gao Yingxiang is not in danger of life in a short period of time. Being able to let Gao Yingxiang live for a few more days can be regarded as the full touch of hypocritical "righteousness" in Liu Fan's heart.

Now that he came to the palace this time, Liu Fan simply explained his development plan in Jiaozhou in the next two years to Chongzhen briefly. The reason why Liu Fan exposed his whereabouts and actions in every detail in front of Chongzhen's eyes was mainly because he knew very well how serious Chongzhen's suspicions were, and among the emperors of the past dynasties, I am afraid that only Lao Zhu, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Cao Cao, who was not the emperor, could be comparable to him.

For such an emperor, the only way to win his trust is to make him think that everything is under his control. Moreover, Liu Fan knows very well the power of Jinyiwei and Dongchang's secret agents, an intelligence agency cultivated by the state apparatus for more than 200 years, which is much more powerful than those intelligence agencies such as military commanders in the Republic of China. Since it can't be hidden, it is better to tell it out, at least let Chongzhen take a reassuring pill, so as to reduce the intensity of his attention.

Hearing Liu Fan's narration, the smile on Chongzhen's face really became even brighter, and in the end, he patted Liu Fan's shoulder very generously and said, "How can I not know the loyalty of the people? Jimin, you let it go, what are you afraid of with me as your backing? ”

Liu Fan said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your support and understanding. The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations, and will definitely cultivate a group of troops who can really fight well for His Majesty to defend my Ming Dynasty! ”

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Okay, I understand, don't show loyalty here." By the way, when does Jimin plan to return to Shandong? ”

Liu Fan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Three days later." It's been more than a year since the minister left Shandong, and if he doesn't go back, I'm afraid the people there won't know the minister! ”

Chongzhen laughed and said, "Jimin is right, I'm afraid not only the people don't know you anymore, but even Shuying and your Yao'er don't know each other!" Haha..."

Liu Fan's face was embarrassed, and he smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of the minister, the minister is already very pitiful, okay!" ”

Chongzhen couldn't help but smile and waved his hand, "Okay, I don't laugh." Speaking of which, it's still mine, and if I hadn't sent you on the expedition, I wouldn't have let your newlyweds be separated for so long. Since Jimin insists on leaving, I won't leave you behind! But I have a task for you, and you must do it! ”

Liu Fan arched his hand and said, "No matter what the task, as long as Your Majesty speaks, the minister will definitely go to the soup and fire to do it for Your Majesty!" ”

Chongzhen was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Jimin must remember what he said!" My mission is very simple, that is, you want to have a son with Shuying or Zhang Yao! ”

Liu Fan was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry about these things!" ”

Chongzhen laughed and said, "What Jimin said is not right, you are my right-hand man, and Jimin has contributed some of his blood to the Ming Dynasty, so I also have to care about the future of Jimin." What's more, Jimin can't go back to your time, wouldn't it be better to stay in the Ming Dynasty? I still hope that your son will serve my crown prince! So, this task must be completed no matter what! ”

Liu Fan looked at Chongzhen speechlessly and said, It's pitiful enough for me to make cows and horses for you myself, do you want my children and grandchildren to be slaves to your old Zhu family? But Liu Fan never dared to say this in front of Chongzhen, and Liu Fan could only say with a bitter face when he saw this, "Okay, let's do our best for this task!" ”

After coming out of the palace with a depressed mood, Liu Fan did not go back to his mansion, but went directly to the home of his teacher Xu Guangqi. Liu Fan will leave in a few days, so he has to say goodbye to Xu Guangqi in advance, and Liu Fan is still thinking about Xu Ji, a "scientist", if he can bring Xu Ji back to Jiaozhou together, it would be great!

Seeing Liu Fan coming, the Xu family received Liu Fan very warmly, and Xu Guangqi himself called Liu Fan directly to the study, and as soon as they met, he directly praised "Jimin has made a great contribution to this expedition, and now the streets and alleys of the capital are talking about the deeds of Jimin to eliminate the thieves, and even the old man, who doesn't go out much, knows Jimin's achievements these days!" Now you are a world-famous hero, and the old man has followed you a lot of light! ”

Liu Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, don't make fun of students." It's just that I've defeated some thieves who can't make a climate, and there's nothing to brag about. In my opinion, the war in the interior is not heroic. When will the students defeat the Tartars outside the gate, and capture the Huang Taiji teacher alive, it is not too late to praise the students again! ”

Xu Guangqi smiled and said, "The courage of the people is commendable, and the old man is very pleased." Alas, it's a pity that the old man's body is not good, otherwise it would be in vain to see the grand occasion of Jimin's capture of the emperor's Taiji with his own eyes! ”

Liu Fan hurriedly said, "Teacher, don't say these discouraged words, you will definitely live a long life!" ”

Xu Guangqi shook his head and said, "The old man's own body is very clear, and the old man who can live for a year and a half is very content." Jimin is here today to talk about what else you have to say, the old man doesn't believe that you will be kind enough to come to see me! ”

Liu Fan immediately called Qu Dao: "Teacher, this is wronging me, I just came out of the palace and didn't even go home, the first thing I did was to visit the teacher, isn't this considered filial piety?" ”

Xu Guangqi smiled and said, "Okay, then even if you know how to be interesting!" Tell me what's the matter? Are you going back to Shandong to say goodbye to me? ”

Liu Fan smiled and said, "The teacher's eyes are like torches, and you guessed it." To tell you the truth, I do want to go back to Shandong this time, but I don't want to say goodbye to you, but to invite you to go to Shandong to live in the future! ”

Xu Guangqi glanced at Liu Fan in surprise, then shook his head and said, "Your kindness, the old man understands, but I will not leave the capital!" ”

Liu Fan hurriedly said, "Why is that?" The teacher is so old, it's time to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown. What's more, if you want to be in power in Wen Tiren, no matter how talented you are, there is no room for display! Why don't you go to Shandong with me! When you arrive in Shandong, you are the emperor, you can do whatever you want, and the students will fully support you! ”

Xu Guangqi scolded with a smile, "What is too emperor, don't talk nonsense!" In fact, the reason why the old man doesn't want to leave is mainly because the "Chongzhen Almanac" I compiled has not yet been completed, and I need to collect information in the capital. Jimin, can you understand? (To be continued.) )
