Chapter 453: The curtain opens

On a sunny morning, under the expectation of everyone in Nanjing, the much-anticipated "ring match" was held on the bank of the Qinhuai River as scheduled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As one of the absolute protagonists of this ring competition, Liu Fan also came to the scene early with his relatives and guards. At about the hour, the people of Nanjing, including a large number of Nanjing students, came to the scene. By the end of the Chen period, no less than 30,000 people had gathered on the banks of the Qinhuai River. Under the high ring, the voices of people are boiling, bustling, and a noisy scene.

On the third day of the day, the guests invited by Liu Fan also came one after another. The first to arrive was Qin Huai's famous prostitute Liu Ru is and others, in addition to Liu Ru is herself, there were seven or eight beautiful women who came with her, and these beauties immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience as soon as they arrived.

Looking at the warbler in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Fan's mouth, and he got up and said, "Everyone Liu, you are really a believer, and this governor still thinks you won't come?" ”

Liu Ru stroked the hair between his forehead, and replied in a glutinous voice: "General Liu is warmly invited, how dare you not come?" This time, not only did I come by myself, but I also brought a few good sisters. After that, he turned to the women behind him and said, "Sisters, this is the general soldier of Shandong that my sister said, General Liu, don't hurry up and salute!" ”

"Li Xiang, Dong Bai, Bian Sai... I've seen Mr. Liu! All the women bowed down, the ring was fat and thin, and they smiled smartly, coupled with the unique and wonderful Wu Nong soft words of Jiangnan women, which made Liu Fan, a guy who prides himself on "seeing wind and waves", a little dumbfounded.

Li Xiang, Dong Bai, Bian Sai? Qin Huai Bayan debuted so early? Liu Fan remembered that Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan, Bian Yujing and other women were all born in the third to fourth year of the Apocalypse, and now they are only twelve or thirteen years old. It was still three or five years before they were so glamorous, so why did they suddenly appear in front of his eyes now?

Puzzled, Liu Fan shook his head in annoyance, and hurriedly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please get up, this governor has already prepared refreshments, candied fruit and other things, you can sit down with Liu!" Little Tiger! Take care of the girls! ”

Liu Fan's number one loyal dog, Li Xiaohu suddenly rushed out from the side when he heard the voice, with a cold face, a stiff face, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "A few girls, please follow the end!" ”

"General Xie Liu!" The girls were still very polite, first saluted Liu Fanfu, and then went with Li Xiaohu to the backstage guest seat.

With the arrival of Liu Ruye, the rest of the invited guests also arrived one after another. For this competition in the ring, Liu Fan specially invited a number of Nanjing officials, including Xu Wenjue's father, Xu Hongji, the contemporary Duke of Wei, Lu Weiqi, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and Zhang Yixian, the eunuch of Nanjing.

As we all know, the Ming Dynasty has implemented the two-Beijing system since becoming an ancestor, and in addition to the city of Beijing, where the emperor is located, Nanjing also has another set of six teams, as well as a large number of eunuch institutions. Because the political center of the Ming Dynasty is in Beijing, these ministries are only a name and are not responsible for dealing with national affairs. The real power in Nanjing is the eunuch of Nanjing, the secretary of the Nanjing military department, and the governor's office of the Chinese army in Nanjing. These three giants are the real rulers of Ming Nanjing.

With these three people coming to cheer, the level of this competition in the ring has suddenly increased many times, and it has become a truly officially supported ultra-luxury competition. However, the positions of these three people are different, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji and Liu Fan are good friends can be said to be Liu Fan's side, and Lu Weiqi, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, is indeed an authentic hardcore Donglin Party, he naturally belongs to a member of Donglin, but what makes Liu Fan more pleased is that although Lu Weiqi is a member of the Donglin Party, he has a good reputation, and he has been an official in Nanjing since the first year of Chongzhen, and his prestige is outstanding, and he does not have to worry about him secretly playing ghosts.

The only thing that surprised Liu Fan was Zhang Yixian, the eunuch of Nanjing. Zhang Yixian's person Liu Fan has heard of it, and it is rumored that this person is quite scheming, and he is one of the eunuchs that Chongzhen trusts and relies on. At the beginning of the fourth year of Chongzhen, in order to supervise the finances of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, Chongzhen asked him to explore the assessment of the officials in and out of the household and the second Ministry of Industry, imitating the original Tu Wenfu, and built an official office for him, called the Prime Minister of the Household Industry, and the position was the same as that of the Governor of the Metropolitan and the Commander of the Beijing Division.

However, after Liu Fan began to "transfuse" to Chongzhen in the fifth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Yixian's status began to decline sharply, until the seventh year of Chongzhen, that is, last year, in order to ease the tension between Chongzhen and Wenchen, Chongzhen removed Zhang Yixian from the power of the prime minister of household workers and sent him to Nanjing to serve as the eunuch of the town.

It stands to reason that there should be a deep grudge between Zhang Yixian and Liu Fan! But Liu Fan didn't expect that he didn't invite Zhang Yixian, a eunuch, to participate in this competition, but Zhang Yixian heard the news out of nowhere, and he ran to Tianfu to find Liu Fan, and strongly said that he must participate in this grand event. And his reasons are very sufficient, Wei Guogong and the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu are involved, how can he, one of the "Big Three", be absent. Liu Fan couldn't shirk it in every possible way, so he had to agree to this guy's request.

What shocked Liu Fan the most was that Zhang Yixian didn't know what method he used, and squeezed out Lu Weiqi's referee and host position the day before the competition, and replaced him himself!
