Inside the Wuying Palace.

The warm weather could not withstand the cold air in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang's pair of eagle eyes emitted a sharp and cold light, like a beast locking onto the prey that was about to be captured.

Xiao Fan felt an uncontrollable tremor all over his body.

There is only one Zhu Yuanzhang in the world, he grinds his teeth and sucks blood, he kills people like hemp, who can remain calm and calm under his forced gaze?

Xiao Fan regretted that he didn't recruit himself, Lao Zhu originally planned to tell him about Zhu Di's return to Beiping, but he turned out to be good, and he was so frightened that he took the initiative to recruit him and the county lord of Jiangdu...... Now Xiao Fan deeply understands how impolite it is to interrupt others, this kind of behavior is not only impolite, but also very bad...... Now what? Once this kind of scandal is opened, Zhu Yuanzhang can't pretend to be confused even if he wants to, after all, the royal reputation cannot be tarnished. The most reliable way is to have an incomparably flattering face, nod and beg Zhu Yuanzhang to change his grandson-in-law, there are many handsome people in this world, you don't have to pick Geng Xuan, don't say anything else, just Geng Xuan's unlucky luck, Lao Zhu's granddaughter will definitely not be happy with him...... Is that okay? It is estimated that Lao Zhu will not agree.

Besides, Xiao Fan is not used to talking to people with a flattering look, in his heart, the status of people may be unequal, but they are equal in personality, if the personality is not equal, it should be that he is higher than others.

The hall was silent, Xiao Fan hung his head, quietly waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's departure.

He didn't regret making a relationship with the county lord of Jiangdu, a man likes a woman, he doesn't have to worry too much about the consequences, feelings are the product of impulse, and the moment Xiao Fan nodded and accepted the county lord of Jiangdu, he was mentally prepared.

After waiting for a long time, I heard Zhu Yuanzhang's sigh.

Xiao Fan raised his head in surprise and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and didn't look at him, but slowly opened his mouth and said another thing.

"I have decided to order King Yan to return to Beiping."

Xiao Fan was slightly surprised, what did Lao Zhu mean by this? Why didn't he mention the matter between himself and the county lord of Jiangdu?

"This ...... Your Majesty is wise. Xiao Fan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to see through his heart.

"Do you really think I'm making a wise decision?" The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth hooked up a mocking smile.

Xiao Fan hung his head and said lightly: "Your Majesty is arbitrary, and it is useless for the ministers to oppose it, why do you want to do that kind of thing that has no effect?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled deeper, he has always admired this young man, and what he appreciates is his unique words and deeds.

"If only Huang Zicheng and the others understood things like you, why should I worry that Yun Wei will not be able to hold the country in the future?"

Xiao Fan smiled, and lightly sent a sycophant without a trace, and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, when Your Majesty is famous all over the world, there is no imperial grandfather who cares for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty still laid this splendid country with his own hands." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was really happy when he heard this, and then laughed proudly, the laughter stopped, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Fan deeply, and said meaningfully: "You are dedicated to assisting Yun Wei, I am very pleased, but ...... No matter what King Yan has in mind, he is my prince after all......"

Xiao Fan's heart froze, and he said carefully: "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

"You are the same as Jinyiwei, you hold the power of life and death, and you have a deep grudge with King Yan, I know all this. But King Yan ordered him to return to Beiping, you can't wait for the opportunity to seek revenge and assassinate him on his way back, my flesh and blood......" Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and stared at Xiao Fan, and said leisurely.

Xiao Fan trembled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The minister is terrified!" The minister will never dare to disobey the holy will! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly and said, "Do you remember what I told you before?" I draw a circle for you, and in this circle, I can let you mess around, but don't go beyond this circle of words and deeds, otherwise, I won't be able to tolerate you......"

Xiao Fan was drenched in cold sweat and said in a trembling voice: "Remember the holy hadith!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang finally smiled and said: "Just remember, the duty of a courtier, you must always remember that if you do your duty as a courtier, I will treat you as a countryman." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a somewhat flattering smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister must be a loyal minister who will go down in history, the circle drawn by His Majesty, the minister is very comfortable to stay in, and he doesn't want to go out for a moment...... Your Majesty doesn't have anything else to do, right? The minister retired first......"

Xiao Fan kowtowed happily, then stood up and slowly retreated towards the palace door.

His mood was full of joy, great! Lao Zhu didn't mention the matter of the county lord of Jiangdu, it seems that Lao Zhu is planning to pretend to be confused, well, when Lao Zhu dies in the future, Zhu Yunwen will become the emperor, and I am afraid that he will not help me marry his sister?

The spring breeze is warm, the sun is shining, how beautiful the world is...... When he was about to retreat to the entrance of the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's cold voice seemed to float from a distant place, cold to the bone.

"My granddaughter let you touch it, and you didn't have a word to explain?"

…………………… Zhu Yuanzhang's faint words instantly pushed Xiao Fan from the beautiful world to the hell of all evils.

Xiao Fan's eyes were red, he felt that it was really not his luck today, God had made up his mind to play him to death...... Xiao Fan straightened up mechanically, and when he looked up, he seemed to hear the bone joints in his neck clicking, and his eyes stared straight at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was expressionless behind the dragon case, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he was cold to the bone.

"Delivery...... Hand over? Xiao Fan stammered.

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "Yes, confess, the royal county lord, the proud daughter of the sky, and the son of the Marquis of Changxing has long had a marriage contract, and now you Xiao Fan hugged him in front of thousands of people, and he was soaked, Jiangdu's reputation was ruined by you, I want to ask you, how to explain to me?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were flat, but there was a chill in his tone, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze.

"Such as ...... How to explain? Xiao Fan sweated, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand to wipe it.

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth seemed to be smiling, and he asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

Xiao Fan hesitated: "Why don't you ...... The minister sent a new dress to the county lord as an apology? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile disappeared, and he said gloomily: "That's it? ”

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and said, "...... And a thoughtful review. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "............"

The two monarchs and ministers in the palace fell silent.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Xiao Fan......"

"The minister is here."

"When I first met you, I always thought you were a gentleman who was as gentle as jade......"

"Yes, the minister is."

“…… Now I realize that you're a real bastard. ”

Xiao Fan fell to his knees and said bitterly: "Minister...... Terrified! ”

"You're scared!"

Zhu Yuanzhang erupted in calm, his face suddenly turned red, his figure stood up suddenly, pointed at Xiao Fan's nose and scolded: "You bastard!" Jiang Du is my most beloved eldest granddaughter, who was hugged by you in front of so many people, and now everyone in the world knows that you are not innocent between you, and you will confess to the past with a new dress? Who are you? Can you tarnish the reputation of the Ming royal family at will? What's more, I and the Marquis of Changxing already have a marriage contract with children, and I married the Marquis of Changxing, just to appease the heroes of Conglong, and was destroyed by you, the bastard, you say, what crime should you be guilty of! ”

"Panic ......"

"How dare you be afraid!" The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the more angry he became, and when he raised his hand, he picked up a valuable inkstone on the dragon case, and smashed his head at Xiao Fan, who was kneeling not far away.

Duan Yan roared in an instant, faintly mixed with the momentum of wind and thunder.

Xiao Fan's heart was alert, and he subconsciously propped his hands on the ground, and then stretched his legs straight to both sides, and quickly came a Thomas full spin, with beautiful movements and quick responses, and the whole process was extremely neat.

Duan Yan was as fast as lightning, almost clinging to Xiao Fan's legs, and with a loud bang, it smashed on a dragon pillar behind Xiao Fan.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out praise: "Good skills!" ”

Xiao Fan snorted proudly: "Carving insect small skills......"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile of approval, he immediately came back to his senses, and suddenly said angrily: "You bastard is a fart!" Get down on my knees! ”

Thump!

Xiao Fan's proud expression disappeared without a trace, and he quickly knelt down honestly, and fell to the ground and shouted in deep sorrow: "Minister...... Guilty! The guilty deserve to be punished—"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he stared at Xiao Fan and said angrily: "Say! What are you going to do with my Jiangdu County Lord? ”

"Marry her!" Xiao Fan said without hesitation.

"What if I don't agree?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

Then wait until you're dead! Xiao Fan secretly thought in his heart, of course, this must not be said, and the consequences are very serious.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him helplessly, for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "I really want to kill you with a knife!" If it weren't for your loyalty to Yun Wei, and the county lord of Jiangdu had early affection for you, do you think you would still be alive until now? ”

Xiao Fan was shocked and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Do you think I really don't know anything about you and Jiangdu?" Xiao Fan, as long as I want to know about the things in this world, none of them can escape my eyes and ears! Geng Xuan, the son of the Marquis of Changxing, was seriously injured, I'm afraid it won't have anything to do with you, right? You're smart enough to plant this on a monk, huh! Xiao Fan, being smart is mistaken by being smart, it's better to be honest! ”

Xiao Fan was so frightened that his heart was broken, this time he was really scared.

The ancients were not fools! Especially the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, who has been fighting all his life, is really not so easy to fool.

"Minister...... The minister ...... panic"

"If you panic again, I'll really kill you!" Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and glared at him, saying word by word.

Xiao Fan immediately shut up.

The hall fell silent again.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat back on the chair, rubbed his temples with his hands tiredly, closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes and said weakly: "Xiao Fan, what should I do with you?" ”

Xiao Fan also sighed secretly, yes, the matter has been pierced, and the matter between him and the county lord of Jiangdu can no longer be escaped. What should Lao Zhu do with me? Spoil me, love me, reward me...... It is estimated that Lao Zhu is not happy.

"Minister...... At the disposal of His Majesty. Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, and said with a gloomy expression: "I am old, I will inevitably have a lot of worries in my actions, if I am ten years younger, you Xiao Fan will have a hundred heads, and I will also be cut clean, ten years ago, I never cared if you were in a relationship with Yun Wei, let alone whether you had a private engagement with Jiang Du for life, Xiao Fan, you have to thank you for your good luck, fortunately you didn't meet me ten years ago!" ”

Xiao Fan hung his head and was silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at him deeply, and said leisurely: "That's it, I will spare you again today, I am old, Yun Wei is weak, I really need a loyal and capable minister, I will give you an imperial grace, the rumors of the Jiangdu County Lord and you are now well known in the market, the name has been ruined in your hands, and it is not appropriate to marry Geng Xuan again, I will marry the Jiangdu County Lord to you, she is my most beloved granddaughter, you have made a private engagement for life, I don't want to be the wicked person who breaks up other people's marriages, I will order the Qin Tianjian to choose the auspicious saying, Hurry up and get married, lest the rumors outside become more and more unpleasant and ruin the reputation of the Heavenly Family......"

Xiao Fan raised his head suddenly and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with surprise and joy.

He didn't expect that this troublesome matter that had been haunting his heart for a long time would be solved so easily and simply, he thought that Lao Zhu would kill him, or exile him for thousands of miles, thinking that it would be a punishment, but he didn't expect Lao Zhu to be so reasonable and easily agreed to his marriage with the county lord of Jiangdu.

Xiao Fan secretly pinched his thigh, and found that this was not a dream, but reality was more wonderful than a dream, and at this moment he had a feeling of falling clouds.

"That's it...... That's it? Xiao Fan cautiously probed.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him fiercely, and said viciously: "Could it be that you still want me to promise you a few more princesses?" ”

Xiao Fan was overjoyed: "Your Majesty is really so generous, it is better to be respectful than to obey ......"

"You are presumptuous!" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

"Ahh Minister...... Guilty! ”

Xiao Fan's happiness is broken, Lao Zhu is a good person! Of course, thanks to Zhu Yunwen, Xiao Fan calmed down and pondered, and then understood Lao Zhu's intentions, he did this completely for the sake of Zhu Yunwen's face, and gave the Jiangdu county lord a marriage to the courtiers, which was a strategy for the emperor to win over the courtiers, Zhu Yuanzhang understood his weight in Zhu Yunwen's heart, and besides, his matter with the Jiangdu county lord had already made a fuss in Beijing, if he married Geng Xuan, the son of the Marquis of Changxing, I am afraid that this matter would make Geng Bingwen resentful, it is better to change the Jiangdu county lord to give marriage to Xiao Fan, which is also a woo, To make him marry the royal family, it can ensure his loyalty to the royal family, and the Marquis of Changxing will compensate for it, which is very happy.

Xiao Fan is now a little grateful for the fire in Nengren Temple, without that fire, I am afraid that things between him and the county lord will not go so smoothly.

"Minister...... Bow and thank my emperor for his grace...... "Xiao Fan was happy, and hurriedly fell to the ground to thank him.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly and said, "Wait, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

Xiao Fan was stunned and said, "What else?" ”

"I heard...... You Xiao Fan already have a wife? And a little beggar? Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was very light.

Xiao Fan's whole face suddenly turned white, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.

"Yes, the minister already has a wife."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "The county lord of Jiangdu married in the past, don't you plan to make her a concubine?" ”

"Your Majesty, Lord of the County...... She doesn't mind. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon case violently and said angrily: "But I don't mind!" The dignified royal county lord, how can he be your concubine? Xiao Fan, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to marry a county lord as a concubine? And let her be subservient to a beggar! It just doesn't make sense! ”

Xiao Fan raised his head and looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty thinks this matter should be handled?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said coldly: "Leave that little beggar in your family, and I will marry the county lord to you, otherwise...... You don't have to get married, just go to the Dharma field and leave your head behind! ”

Xiao Fan's brain exploded, and then he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a good face." ”

"Say!"

"The wife of the minister's family, she was not a beggar originally, she ...... It is the young daughter of King Yan and the lord of Changning. Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and then became furious: "Bold! The county lord of Changning was already in the early days four years ago, and I received Chen Zuo, the king of Yan, four years ago, will the dead be resurrected after four years? Xiao Fan, you are getting bolder and bolder, you dare to bully the king! ”

Xiao Fan felt a burst of despair in his heart, it's over, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't believe it, how can he prove that he is telling the truth? Except for Zhu Di, no one can help him prove it, but Zhu Di hates him to the bone, how can he help himself?

"The wife of the chaff will not go to the court, Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being rude, and ask the ministers to divorce their wives, and the ministers will not dare to serve the edict during the period!" Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and said.

"Xiao Fan! How dare you disobey my will? Zhu Yuanzhang's face was flushed, and his chest rose and fell rapidly.

For many years, no one dared to disobey him so much, and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had an infinite killing opportunity in his heart at this moment.

The yin wind in the main hall was gusting, and a strong killing intent was like a pair of invisible hands, which strangled Xiao Fan's neck, making him feel difficult to breathe.

Xiao Fan tried his best to hold up his chest, looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said awe-inspiringly: "The big husband has something to do, and he doesn't do something." The minister's wife and the minister share weal and woe, and support each other through the most difficult days, and now if the minister divorces her for glory and wealth, am I still human? Your Majesty's will, Your Majesty...... Don't dare to take it! ”

"Lord Jiangdu, you're not marrying?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with compassion.

"Of course you want to marry! She made a lifelong agreement with her minister, if I don't marry, she is my woman, everyone in Beijing knows about this, who else can she marry? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more and more murderous, and he said gloomily: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Forgive the courtiers for being rude, the courtiers...... Both! ”

At this moment, Xiao Fan simply let go, straightened his waist and said loudly.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Xiao Fan for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

After laughing for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon case violently and shouted: "Where is the Jinyi Forbidden Army?" ”

Outside the gate of the palace, two brocade-clothed pro-soldiers walked quickly and hugged their fists towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Xiao Fan and said: "Take him to the edict, without my will, no one is allowed to release him, and the imperial grandson is not allowed!" ”

"Yes!" The Jinyi pro-army responded to the order, and then supported Xiao Fan on the left and right.

Xiao Fan looked desperate, today's great joy and sorrow came too quickly and suddenly, and a good happy event finally made the monarch and the ministers turn against him.

Regret it? Xiao Fan's heart was extremely calm, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him thousands of times, and he still answered this way.

No one in this world can separate him from the thrush, not even the Son of Heaven, who is the supreme of the Ninety-Five!

If the husband dies, he will die, if he bows his head for power and takes a thrush, even if he lives to enjoy the glory and wealth, how is it different from the beast?

When a person lives in the world, there is always a belief that is more important than life, for Xiao Fan, the thrush is the belief he has always adhered to, and for this belief, he can calmly die.

Xiao Fan was resolutely held by the brocade-clothed army, and walked out of the hall silently.

He felt a little ironic, in the past, he used to put others in prison, but he didn't expect that he would also go to prison one day, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty understood an unwritten rule, and few people who entered the Jinyi Guardian Prison came out alive.

Are you going to die?

Xiao Fan smiled faintly, let's die, I came to this world and gained friendship and love, although it was very short, I have no regrets in this life.

At the same time, he had a resentment, why in the era of imperial rule, a person can't even marry his beloved? How can one person's words decide the life and death of people in the world? How unjust is this world!

Xiao Fan's steps were heavy, and the resentment in his heart was getting deeper and deeper. The violent atmosphere of the roadblock robbery in the previous life gradually raised in my heart.

Willing to cut your body, the emperor pulled off the horse, even if Lao Tzu can't kill you, he won't make you feel too happy, there is only one Xiao Fan in this world, even if you kill me, you have to remember me for a lifetime!

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, suddenly stopped, and said, "Wait a minute!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, bypassed the dragon case and slowly walked four or five steps in front of Xiao Fan to stand still, and said, "Have you figured it out?" ”

"I didn't figure it out."

"And what do you want to do?"

Xiao Fan also showed a resolute smile, concentrating calmly, and then suddenly stretched out two fingers, pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang's waist, and said coldly: "Open!" ”

Even if I can't kill you, I'll pick your underwear again! This is Xiao Fan's thoughts, the sadness and helplessness of the little people, but there is a bit of unyielding resistance in the sorrow, even if this struggle is so powerless and weak.

It's a pity that Xiao Fan's protest this time did not achieve the expected effect at all.

Under the stunned gaze of the two brocade-clothed soldiers beside him, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raise his waist with both hands, jump back with agility, and sneered with the jade belt around his waist: "You want to plot against me again?" ”

Xiao Fan said: "Why do you say 'again'?" ”

"Last time I had a feast, my dirty pants fell off for no reason, do you think I don't know that you did it? Hum! I've let you succeed once, but I won't let you succeed a second time! ”

Xiao Fan finally despaired this time, hung his head in frustration and said, "Your Majesty, the minister really obeys you......"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked proud, let go of the jade belt around his waist with both hands, and stroked his beard and laughed.

In the silence, only a cold cheer was heard again: "...... Open again! ”

Swish!

Zhu Yuanzhang's bright yellow dragon underwear fell down his thighs.

The brocade soldiers in the hall, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang himself, were all stunned.

Xiao Fan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, his eyes blinked innocently, and he said with sympathy: "Your Majesty should also beware of the enemy's return pistol......"

"Take it! Take down this madman for me! Imprisoned! Fast! Zhu Yuanzhang was hysterical and shouted angrily.
