God laughs when humans think, and men laugh when women think.

This is not to disparage women, but to illustrate the differences in the way men and women think differently.

In the final analysis, the word "lustful" is enough to summarize the characteristics of all men in the world, but who has the ability to summarize the characteristics of all women in the world in two words?

It's hard, every woman is unique and distinct.

Some women make men worry-free, and some women make men hurt.

Now, the woman who made Xiao Fan worry-free was abducted by another woman, which is really a painful thing.

Xiao Fan sat in the inner hall in a daze, his mind was very dazed, and he hadn't recovered from this shocking news.

Chen Yinger...... Why did you kidnap Jiangdu? Does she have a grudge against Jiang, or does she want to take revenge on herself?

Of course, the most outrageous speculation is that in fact, Chen Ying'er has changed her surname to the extreme since she changed her relationship with herself, and she has turned to like women, and she also fell in love with Jiangdu, so she and Xiao Fan became rivals...... If that's the case, then it's a pity, Xiao Fan doesn't object to Lily, it doesn't matter if you like my wife, you can marry me, from then on, the three of us have slept together, messing around in bed, playing as much as we like, and don't have to worry about the surname at all...... - this is pure conjecture, Xiao Fan himself thinks it's ridiculous.

Men can never clearly understand women's thinking, and Xiao Fan doesn't know Chen Ying'er's motives for doing this.

However, Xiao Fan knew very well the consequences of Chen Ying'er's actions.

Two charming women went to Beiping Mansion, which is the territory of King Yan, the land of tigers and wolves! King Yan has a deep enmity with himself, if their relationship with him is found out by King Yan, what will King Yan do?

It seems that there is no need to guess at all in this question,—— what Xiao Fan does to Zhu Di's three sons, and what Zhu Di will do to these two women.

What does Chen Ying'er, a stupid woman with no brains, want to do?

Xiao Fan's expression gradually became gloomy, and there was a little terrible anger in his eyes.

What are men used for? Used to clean up the mess for his wife!

"I'm going to Beiping!" Xiao Fan's eyes were calm, and his tone was very resolute.

Cao Yi paused for a moment and exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Do you know how big a bond you have with King Yan? Do you still have a life when you go to Beiping? ”

"I think His Royal Highness King Yan is a magnanimous person, and he will definitely not care about me, besides, I am still his son-in-law......" Xiao Fan smiled innocently, like Jesus who is full of love for mankind.

Cao Yi was speechless for a long time, looking at him like seeing a madman.

Xiao Fan's smile lasted for a while, then slowly distorted and deformed, and finally twisted into a bitter gourd face, and said depressedly: "Then what do you say I can do?" Peking is so dangerous, can I let my daughter-in-law go? What if something happens? You know, King Yan's character is very problematic, if he takes Jiangdu as a hostage, all my deployments against Beiping in the past year will be chaotic. ”

Cao Yi hurriedly said: "Before they have gone far, let's quickly order the Jinyi guards to chase them!" ”

Xiao Fan shook his head and said: "The chase is to chase, but I estimate that most of them can't catch up, now that the grain ship has been gone for more than half an afternoon, they will get off the boat when they reach the north bank of the Yangtze River, and then disguise themselves as people all the way to play around." The letter left by Jiang Du said that she wanted to travel through the mountains and rivers of Daming, and maybe even hide in a place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and uninhabited for two days before leaving, simply put, my daughter-in-law and Chen Yinger want to be travel friends! No matter how powerful Jinyiwei is, it is impossible to search every mountain, river and beautiful water...... So, I had to go to Peking and wait for them there so that I could keep them safe. ”

Cao Yi was stunned for a long time, and said hatefully: "Mother-in-law should stay at home honestly and wait for the children, and run around outside if you have nothing to do!" Which bastard teaches his brother and sister blindly? ”

Xiao Fan pointed to his nose with a bitter face, and said quietly: "The bastard you said is my ......"

Cao Yi was dumbfounded: "............"

…………………… and thou shalt not live.

Xiao Fan now wants to slap himself hard.

My wife was brought bad by herself! It's okay to teach her what "it's better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles", now it's okay, she really traveled thousands of miles...... "But do you know that you went to Beiping to die, when King Yan was in Beijing, you offended him too hard, if you went to his fiefdom, how could he let you go?" Cao Yi was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

Xiao Fan pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "No, if I go to Beiping in the name of the imperial court to comfort the border army, even if King Yan hates me again, he will not dare to kill the Qincha openly, he can't afford to take this risk,—— the intelligence from the north said that the grain and grass preparation of King Yan is not sufficient, and the newly recruited sergeants are not trained enough, if he kills me, he will rebel, but at this time he does not dare to raise troops, it is too hasty, but he will be defeated." In other words, it is safe for me to go to Peking now. ”

Cao Yi said coldly: "He doesn't dare to kill you openly, won't he secretly send assassins to kill you?" Don't forget, he did this when he was in Beijing. ”

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "I am a messenger, an envoy of the Son of Heaven, if something happens to me on the boundary of Beiping Mansion, this account will be calculated on the head of King Yan no matter how it is calculated, if King Yan is not a fool, he will definitely not dare to do this......

After a deep groan, Xiao Fan continued: "...... However, I am not very bold, everything still has to be fully prepared, now at the junction of Shandong and Beiping stationed more than ten thousand households under the command of Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, when the time comes, I will ask him to pull the army to the north for dozens of miles, in order to be unprepared. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, it has become a foregone conclusion that Xiao Fan will go to Beiping.

The two discussed for a while, Cao Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Fan, and said slowly: "We have said so much, do you think of something?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"The Son of Heaven yesterday said that he had ordered Huang Zicheng's old guy to inspect the north, this mission is his, the will has been given, let's talk about it in vain! In what name shall we go without a holy decree? ”

Xiao Fan smiled lightly: "That's not easy, take this messenger from Huang Zicheng's hands, I'll tell the Son of Heaven." ”

Cao Yi hesitated: "This ...... I'm afraid it's not that easy, right? What if Huang Zicheng doesn't agree? ”

"Beat him! Beat him so much that he couldn't get out of bed, and this errand was naturally mine. Xiao Fan said without thinking.

"Great idea!"

In the afternoon, Cao Yi first returned to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, and ordered to send Jinyi Wei Ti to search along the road to the north to find the traces of the Jiangdu County Lord and his party.

Xiao Fan didn't dare to delay time, and immediately rushed to the palace in his official uniform.

In the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Yunwen solemnly handed over a roll of yellow silk covered with a jade seal to Huang Zicheng.

Huang Zicheng respectfully accepted it with both hands, and bowed to Zhu Yunwen.

Looking at Huang Zicheng's gray hair and old face, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, the unhappiness caused by Huang Zicheng's disrespect in front of the emperor was also suppressed at this time, after all, this old man was the emperor who taught him for many years, and he was also the assistant minister left to him by the emperor's grandfather, just forget it if he was a little disrespectful.

Zhu Yunwen said kindly: "Mr. is going to Beiping, the road is hard and bumpy, I really can't bear it in my heart, Mr. take care." ”

Huang Zicheng respectfully kowtowed to Zhu Yunwen, and drooped his eyelids and said: "The old minister eats the king's lu, the matter of loyalty to the king, and the matter entrusted by His Majesty, the old minister does not dare to slack off in the slightest, and must complete it to the letter, in order to repay His Majesty's grace." ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled with relief: "Mr. is my mentor, I am naturally trustworthy, Mr. is here to remember my instructions, do not annoy the vassal king, and do not be hostile to the vassal king, patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven, comfort the border army, this is to paralyze the vassal king, slow down his military morale, and buy time to prepare for the cutting of the domain, Mr. has a great responsibility, and I hope to temporarily accept the vigilance of the vassal king, and sincerely befriend the vassal kings in various places." ”

Huang Zicheng's white eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty has an order, and the old minister does not dare to disobey, but the old minister has a few words in his throat before leaving, and he will not vomit or be unhappy." ”

Zhu Yunwen secretly complained in his heart, every time Mr. Huang said "don't vomit and be unhappy", it means that his next words will definitely not sound good. But now that he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how bad the words of the courtiers are, they must be listened to, and if they want to be a Ming monarch, they must have the stomach to listen to the advice of the contrary, and they must have the mind to be good at admonishing.

So Zhu Yunwen cheered up and said with a smile: "If Mr. has something to say, just say it." ”

Huang Zicheng was like a stubborn old cow, although his attitude was respectful, but his tone was very cold: "On behalf of the Son of Heaven, he patrolled the northern land and comforted the border army, and the old minister thought that it was ...... It's simply not necessary! ”

Zhu Yunwen sighed, sure enough...... Putting on a reluctant smile, Zhu Yunwen said with a pleasant face: "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

Huang Zicheng said with a straight face: "There are many kings of the northern domain, but there are many generals under his command, only the three kings of Jin, Yan and Ning, and the rest of the guards are only thousands, all of which are not to worry about, among the three strong domains, the king of Jin and the prince of Yiwen are born of a mother, and in March this year, his eldest son inherited the throne for less than half a year, and when he was not full-fledged, he would not dare to have a disagreement with the court, and King Ning was the youngest, and his surname was brave and strong, but he was not good at strategizing, and he did not have the ability to have a different heart for the court, only the king of Beiping Yan was brave and strategic, and the soldiers were fierce, in the end, King Yan is the troubles of my Ming court......"

"King Yan, the hero of the world, the land of Beiping Mansion is not enough to accommodate his ambition, this year has not been approved by the imperial court, it is convenient for Beiping to recruit troops and horses, and train soldiers, it can be seen that he has the intention of coveting the great treasure artifact, the court seems to be calm now, but in fact it has fallen into a crisis, at this time, it is time to be fast, cut off all the weak vassal kings on the periphery of Beiping Mansion, and then concentrate the superior forces of the imperial court to press the territory, coerce King Yan to hand over the fiefdom, remove the military power, this is the most suitable way to cut the domain, but Your Majesty, not only do you not pursue the crime of King Yan recruiting troops and buying horses without authorization, but chose to send the minister of the Qin mission at this time to appease the king of Yan and comfort the border army, this is not to tell the other vassal kings, the king of Yan is right to do this, the court is afraid of him, not only do not dare to punish him, but also encourage him and reward him, in this way, the kings of the world will inevitably rise up and follow suit, within a year, all the weak vassals will become strong vassals, at that time the king is weak and the ministers are strong, and it will be more difficult for the court to cut the vassals. ”

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and smiled: "Mr. is wrong, appeasing King Yan now is not the same as encouraging him to expand his troops and horses, but to hoard grain and grass for the imperial court, mobilize the army to buy time, and when the imperial court is fully prepared, when the king goes north, he can take the king of Yan in one fell swoop, sir, even the strongest king of Yan has been defeated, if you are another vassal king, do you dare to rebel?" Even if the vassal kings start to expand their troops and horses now and give them a year, they won't be able to make a name for themselves, but this year's time is very critical and very important for me, which is also my intention to ask you to go back to Beiping and try your best to marry King Yan...... Hehe, this is a method that I came up with with Xiao Aiqing, and I think this method is very feasible. ”

When Huang Zicheng heard that it was Xiao Fan's idea, his old face became more and more angry, and he stomped his feet heavily and said: "Xiao Fan, the erector who misled the country and the king, is really a sinner of my Ming Dynasty through the ages!" Your Majesty believes in his words, the consequences are unimaginable, Your Majesty, think twice! ”

Zhu Yunwen said patiently: "Sir, the country of the Ming Dynasty is mine, and any decision I make is implemented after thinking about it again......

Huang Zicheng got angry, rudely interrupted Zhu Yunwen's words, raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty said so, but how can the old minister think that Your Majesty's handling of such an important state matter is like child's play?" You discussed a few words with Xiao Fan and the others, and then the major matter related to the reduction of the feudal domain was given, why didn't Your Majesty ask the old minister's opinion at that time? If you become the king of the dead country because of your gullibility and slander, what face will the old minister have to meet the first emperor under Jiuquan? Your Majesty, you are trapped in the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military are disloyal and unjust! ”

As soon as Zhu Yunwen heard the words "the king of the dead country", anger suddenly surged in his heart, and he became more and more angry with Huang Zicheng, he became more and more disgusted with Huang Zicheng's words, and he was about to be furious on the spot, and seeing Huang Zicheng's stubborn and unyielding appearance, Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and forced himself to press the anger in his heart.

"Mr. Huang, I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, what I decide, you do it, if I feel the need to discuss with the ministers, I will naturally summon you and send the ministers to patrol the north on behalf of the Son of Heaven, this matter has been decided, Mr. does not need to say more. It's not too early, so get ready and you're ready to go. ”

Zhu Yunwen's cold tone made Huang Zicheng look up in astonishment, he was very unaccustomed to Zhu Yunwen's attitude towards himself, he felt too unfamiliar, looking at Zhu Yunwen's indifferent look, Huang Zicheng sadly found that an insurmountable gap seemed to have been drawn between him and the Son of Heaven, which could never be bridged.

Huang Zicheng opened his mouth, wanting to show his loyalty to him, but when the words came to his mouth, he finally swallowed it.

- Can the unbridgeable gap be bridged with just a few words? It was all in vain.

"Old minister...... Compliance. Huang Zicheng bowed his head and kowtowed, and slowly withdrew from the Wenhua Hall with a gloomy expression.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Huang Zicheng's downcast and distracted back, he was kind and benevolent, and he also looked a little unbearable, opened his mouth and just wanted to stop him, and said a few words of encouragement, and remembered that since he ascended the throne, Huang Zicheng showed all kinds of domineering posture in front of him, Zhu Yunwen closed his mouth again, hardened his heart and quietly watched Huang Zicheng go farther and farther.

Huang Zicheng walked out of the noon gate in despair, walked across the Jinshui Bridge, and stood still under the tall and majestic stone plaque of Chengtianmen.

Looking back at the majestic palace, Huang Zicheng sighed gloomily, with a lot of helplessness and sadness in his heart, and at the same time there were many doubts.

He couldn't figure it out, the Son of Heaven was a kind and benevolent Son of Heaven, and he Huang Zicheng was also a loyal minister with a clear conscience, the relationship between the benevolent Son of Heaven and the loyal minister should be like a fish in water, why is the distance between him and Zhu Yunwen getting farther and farther away, more and more strange? Has the Son of Heaven changed, or is he too anxious?

No matter what the reason, now he is no longer liked by the Son of Heaven, Huang Zicheng has a hunch, I am afraid that this is the last time I will walk out of the palace in my life, and I will ...... in the future Perhaps there is no place for himself among the ministers of the Golden Palace.

Feng Tang is old, and his ambition is difficult to reward, so he can't help it!

With a long sigh, Huang Zicheng lowered his head and walked towards the official sedan chair on the square outside Chengtianmen with a disappointed face.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and with a bang, Huang Zicheng felt that he was hit by a strong force and staggered back several steps, and then his legs became weak and he fell to the ground hard.

Before he could cry out in pain, he heard a familiar voice shouting, "Oops! It hurts me to death! Who walks without long eyes? Is your dad Li Gang? ”

Huang Zicheng groaned and lay on the ground and looked up, but saw not far away a thief who made him dream of biting a few bites, grinning and rubbing his chest loudly in pain, and the brocade guard next to him, Cao Yi and several pro-military captains were supporting him.

"Xiao Fan! You...... You thief! You bumped into the old man, but the wicked person sued first, which is extremely shameless! Huang Zicheng said angrily.

Xiao Fan rubbed his chest, and when he saw that the person he hit was Huang Zicheng, he was suddenly surprised.

"Mr. Huang, I'm looking for you."

Huang Zicheng's face was full of vigilance when he heard this: "What are you looking for me to do?" ”

Xiao Fan smiled a little anxiously and said, "When will Mr. Huang leave for Beiping?" ”

When Huang Zicheng heard this, he immediately became angry.

"Humph! Despicable villain! It must be you who slandered in front of the Son of Heaven and sent the old man to Beiping, thousands of miles away, and then you can take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents in the court and cover the sky with one hand, right? The old man has just received the holy decree, and he is about to set off, are you satisfied now? ”

Xiao Fan couldn't defend himself, and said hurriedly: "You have received the holy decree?" Now the efficiency of the imperial court is too fast......"

Saying that, Xiao Fan stretched out his hand impatiently and said, "What about the holy decree?" You give me the holy decree, and if you have something to do with your disciples, how dare you let your husband travel long distances? Students, let's take a trip to Peking for you. ”

Huang Zicheng blurted out in disbelief: "You go to Beiping?" …… Are you crazy? ”

Xiao Fan sighed and said, "Why does everyone say I'm crazy when they hear that I'm going to Beiping?" I'm obviously loyal and patriotic! ”

Huang Zicheng came back to his senses, his eyes looked at him more and more vigilantly, and hummed: "You have a deep grudge with King Yan, this matter is known to the world, do you have the courage to go to King Yan's fiefdom?" Hum! What the hell is your idea? ”

Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth and settle the matter peacefully.

"Mr. Huang, I'm not afraid of your jokes, the truth is like this...... My wife, the county lord of Jiangdu, was abducted a few hours ago, and the person who abducted her was actually a woman. It is already morally corrupt for men to engage in foundations, and women are still playing with grinding tofu, which is a waste of resources and outrageous! The lily is on my wife's head, is it unbearable! I love my wife so much that I have no choice but to catch up with ......"

Huang Zicheng opened his mouth wide, staring at Xiao Fan, his eyes were like seeing a pig flying in the sky...... Xiao Fan said cautiously: "...... Sir, do you think my explanation is quite logical? ”

“…………”

"Sir, what a word, if you don't believe me, I'll make up another nonsense for you......"

“…………”

Long...... Huang Zicheng came back to his senses and shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to throw Xiao Fan's hateful face out of his mind.

"I believe in! It's just gibberish! Huang Zicheng officially made a conclusion, and the conclusion is very pertinent.

Xiao Fan was anxious: "Whether you believe it or not, you give me the holy decree, I will enter the palace and ask Your Majesty to take back your order, and I will go to Beiping in exchange, you will save a lot of travel, and you will not suffer." ”

Huang Zicheng sneered: "You thief doesn't have a word of truth in your mouth, no matter what you say, the old man will definitely not believe it!" The holy decree was given to the old man by the Son of Heaven, do you want it? Dream! ”

Xiao Fan put down his posture and pleaded: "Mr. Huang, this matter is very important, and human life is at stake!" It's very important for me to go to Beiping, you can't die without help, other people's daughters-in-law are also daughters-in-law......"

"What a mess! Hum! Xiao Fan, although the old man doesn't know what you are doing in Beiping, everything you do as a thief is not a good thing, no matter what you are for, the old man will never let you succeed! ”

Xiao Fan begged softly for a long time, so that Huang Zicheng just didn't agree, and his expression was very resolute.

Cao Yi walked over and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiao, it's not a matter to go on like this, look at the appearance of this old guy, it is estimated that he would rather die than hand over the holy decree, if the holy decree is not taken back, even if the Son of Heaven wants to take back his fate, he will not be able to do it......"

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, his expression of pleading and pleading suddenly changed, and his eyes gradually flashed a little violent.

"Mr. Huang, the student asks you, the Holy Decree...... Is it on you now? ”

"It's on the old man, so what?" Huang Zicheng glared at Xiao Fandao.

Xiao Fan showed an evil smile and nodded, "It's good on you......"

Saying that, Xiao Fan gestured to several brocade-clothed lieutenants behind him, and shouted viciously: "Beat him!" ”

Rumble!

The captains rushed towards Huang Zicheng like fast arrows off the string, and the scoop guests who had been pixels for many years rushed to surround him one by one as if they saw the girl.

Huang Zicheng was shocked by such a familiar scene, he took a few steps back, and said in a trembling voice: "You guys are here again?" There is no king in this world! Xiao Fan, you ...... Ah! ”

The sound of punches and kicks drowned out Huang Zicheng's angry scolding, and was replaced by a terrible scream.

Under the beating of everyone, Huang Zicheng was like a flat boat in the angry sea, up and down, suddenly being beaten and thrown high, and suddenly disappeared in the crowd.

In the gap of the chaotic crowd, a bruised arm stretched out with a scream, clenching his fist in the direction of Xiao Fan, as if silently expressing indignation and protest to him.

With a whoosh, the arm was violently pulled back, followed by another beating like a storm.............................. After a long time, everyone stopped under Xiao Fan's shouting.

Xiao Fan stepped forward and saw Huang Zicheng's blue nose and swollen face, and his mournful moaning appearance, he couldn't help but glare at everyone with disgust.

"What do you mean by a few hits, why do you have such a heavy hand?"

The crowd bowed their heads in shame.

Xiao Fan squatted down, took out a roll of yellow silk in Huang Zicheng's arms for a while, unfolded it and looked at it a few times, and immediately said in surprise: "Yes, this is it!" You sent Mr. Huang back to heal, and said that Mr. Huang accidentally fell while riding a horse, well, I will go into the palace to help him ask for sick leave in front of the Son of Heaven......"

Cao Yi pulled Xiao Fan's sleeve, his expression full of doubts: "Brother Xiao, there is something I don't understand too much...... If you want the Holy Decree, just give him the order to rob him, why do you have to beat him? ”

Xiao Fan froze, thought for a long time, and then looked down at Huang Zicheng, seeing that Huang Zicheng was staring at him with bruised eyes, and he also looked anxious to know the answer.

Xiao Fan smiled apologetically at him, turned to Cao Yi and spread his hands, and said with great regret: "...... Why didn't you just say it earlier? ”

Huang Zicheng's lips twitched a few times: "............"

(To be continued)
