Chapter 302: The Monarch and the Minister's Narrative
The candles in Xiao's mansion were bright, the male owner went home, and the whole house seemed to be alive, sweeping away Xiao Fan's low depression when he was not at home, the inner courtyard was full of laughter, and even the maids walked a lot more briskly and brightly.
The main wing room of the inner courtyard.
Under the bright candlelight, the delicate faces of the four ladies seemed to be sprinkled with a faint golden halo, thrush, Jiangdu, Hongqiao, Ying'er, the four girls drank a few glasses of wine, their faces were slightly red, and the four pairs of big and bright eyes kept staring at Xiao Fan's handsome face, obsessive and affectionate, as if they wanted to compensate for their lovesickness this year, and looked so focused.
Four pairs of slender jade hands rose and fell on the table, and without pause, the dishes were carried to the plate in front of Xiao Fan, and in the blink of an eye, a small mountain was piled up in front of Xiao Fan, trembling.
Xiao Fan smiled wryly: "In the year that I was not at home, the spare time life of the ladies has changed dramatically......"
Four pairs of beautiful eyes stared at him in puzzlement.
Xiao Fan looked at the hill in front of him and was worried: "...... Lady is interested in feeding pigs? ”
"Poof!"
The four girls laughed out loud at the same time.
"Xianggong has worked hard for the imperial court, and he has lost a lot of weight, Xianggong should eat more......" Jiang Du was as tender as ever.
The thrush's little head kept nodding: "That's it, look at those big officials in the court, which one is not full of brains, walking like a ball rolling on the ground, but Xianggong is thin like this......"
Xiao Fan sighed: "Is it okay for me to call my body elegant?" You don't like me to have the same body as Ru Yu? ”
The four women giggled.
Xiao Fan put down his chopsticks, looked at Jiang Du, and said, "I'm not in Jingshi, no one bullies our family, right?" ”
Jiang Du shook his head, his big eyes bent into two crescent moons, which was cute.
Thrush Qiong's nose wrinkled, and he snorted: "Who dares to bully our family, I set fire to his house......"
Well, it fits Xiao Nizi's surname very well, neat and ruthless.
Thinking about it, I also know that the four hostesses of the Xiao Mansion, one of them is the eldest princess of the dynasty, the other is the cousin of the Son of Heaven, and the other is a super strong woman in the famous Daming business circle, not to mention the status and power of the male owner in the court, such a dream combination, I am afraid that there are really not many people who dare to provoke the Xiao family, even if it is the unstoppable Ji Gang now, I am afraid that I will have to take a detour.
Jiang Du hesitated for a moment and said, "Xianggong Jin is the prince of the country, should our family change to a bigger house, so as to show off the status of Xianggong." ”
Xiao Fan looked around at the four daughters: "Do you think our family's house is small now?" ”
The four girls shook their heads together, the Xiao family's current house was still given by Zhu Yunwen when Xiao Fan first entered the Beijing Division, a set of three-entry mansions, small is a little smaller, but the four daughters are very happy to live together, they are already familiar with the grass and trees at home, and have a deep attachment to it, no one is willing to leave.
Xiao Fan smiled: "Since you don't feel small, then let's not change it, just live and be happy." ”
Jiang Du whispered: "I'm afraid that the ministers will laugh at it and make the prime minister lose face in front of his colleagues......"
Xiao Fan smiled proudly: "Who dares to laugh?" ”
The four women glanced at each other and stopped talking. With Xiao Fan's current status, he is qualified to say this.
The family banquet gradually came to an end, the delicate faces of the four girls became more and more red and glamorous, everyone unconsciously lowered their heads, their cheeks were dyed with a layer of sunset-like redness, and their demeanor became unnatural.
Xiao Fan licked his lips, and his heart jumped wildly.
Tonight...... Who will sleep with me?
It is said that the thrush is an eldest woman, and it is natural to sleep with her on the first night of going home, but the thrush has no personnel and no experience...... The remaining three girls are not easy to arrange, a bowl of water is so much, whoever drinks less will inevitably have some resentment, and it is not suitable to sleep with anyone.
…… What a blissful annoyance.
When the five of them were thinking about it, Steward Zhang called softly outside the Moon Gate, the eunuchs in the palace came, and the Son of Heaven summoned Xiao Fan into the palace to talk.
Look, such a big person, still so uninteresting, I don't understand the urgency of a man who has been on a long-term business trip to make love with his wife after returning home, and he still runs out to make trouble at this time...... Xiao Fan sighed, stood up, and the four girls moved together, blushing and helping him put on his official uniform.
"Xianggong will go early...... Come back early. Jiang Du's hands trembled a little, suggesting that it was obvious.
Xiao Fan nodded heavily, his eyes swept away, and the four girls all looked at him with blank eyes.
"Ahem, you all go and wash your name, and when I come back, we'll ...... Well, the big bed sleeps together, and the rain and dew are all wet. Xiao Fan looked serious, as if he was assigning work to his subordinates.
The fourth girl's eyes widened, and her small mouth opened slightly, as if she was shocked by this Asobaria decision.
After being silent for a long time, the thrush blushed and ran away happily, twisting his little waist and washing it away.
The three girls glanced at each other a few times, and finally blushed and returned to the room without saying a word, which can be regarded as acquiescing to this decision of the wild silver.
Xiao Fan lowered his head, silently looked at Xiao Fan, who was already angry and murderous, stared at it for a while, and said affectionately: "Second brother is calm, there is meat to eat tonight......"
The Palace of Manhwa.
The huge palace lamps hung in the four corners of the hall, and the two arm-thick candles on the dragon case illuminated Zhu Yunwen's young and handsome face.
Xiao Fan entered the door and bowed without saying a word.
"Minister, British Duke Xiao Fan, enter the palace with an edict, meet Tianyan, long live my emperor......"
"Come on, what about you singing a big opera? Hurry up, give me less of this set of vain heads......" Zhu Yunwen smiled.
Xiao Fan got up and said with a smile: "I just sealed the prince of the country, you have to let me shout a few more times, otherwise it will be bad if I can't remember it in the future, others ask me what the prince is from, and I have to take out a note to remind myself, and I will lose the etiquette ......of the court."
Zhu Yunwen said with a smile: "In his twenties, he became the prince of the country by his own merits, I have established the country since the Ming Dynasty, you are the first, and I will give you a county king in the future, it will be more interesting, think about the appearance of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military jaws falling to the ground, haha......"
Xiao Fan looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise, what he said seemed to be true or false, Xiao Fan was a little confused, he had just been crowned the prince of the country, this guy wouldn't be so slippery, and he would be crowned king again, right? Then he will really be drowned by the spittle of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military.
Zhu Yunwen smiled meaningfully: "Do you remember what I told you when you were taking the Xiucai exam?" I said, Jinshi, champion, nothing rare, one day, I will hold you high, let those Jinshi, champions line up to salute you one by one, this day is coming. ”
Xiao Fan was suddenly moved inexplicably, thinking that it was just Zhu Yunwen's joke for a while, but he didn't expect that he had always kept it in his heart and realized it step by step.
"The Son of Heaven is long, and the minister is so moved...... Mess! Xiao Fan was grateful.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xiao Fan deeply and said, "Do you remember what you said to me when you were the little shopkeeper of Jiangpu Restaurant?" You say, let those vassal kings line up, and I will strangle them one by one...... The day is also approaching. ”
Xiao Fan: "............"
Nonsensical words should not be said in such an affectionate tone, it feels strange.
Zhu Yunwen said to Xiao Fan with a solemn face: "Xiao Shiyu, I can keep the country and create a prosperous era of Jianwen in the future, thanks to you, I thank you." ”
"The minister doesn't dare to be, the minister ......is terrified," Xiao Fan hurriedly bowed.
"You deserve it, Xiao Qing turned the tide, and the credit is in the community......"
"Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, glorious through the ages......"
"Xiao Qing!"
"Your Majesty!"
........................, "Your Majesty, what are we feeling?" Just because we can strangle the vassal kings one by one? Xiao Fan was puzzled.
Zhu Yunwen pondered: "What you said makes sense......
The two glanced at each other and shivered together.
"You won't be so numb in the future!" The two of them said in unison, paused for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xiao Fan with a smile and said, "I haven't had time to make love with my wife when I get home, and I called me into the palace again, are you secretly scolding me for being uninteresting in your heart?" ”
"Your Majesty is wise, and if you can understand what you are, you are all good."
"You're so honest......"
Xiao Fan grinned and said, "In the year that the minister left Beijing, did Your Majesty have any new sexual encounters?" ”
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and sighed as if he had some feelings: "...... After going through the vicissitudes of the sea, I found that my wife is still my own good, and those who meet gods and horses are all floating clouds......"
"Why did Your Majesty say this? Don't they all say that the wife is someone else's family? ”
Zhu Yunwen's face was full of mature vicissitudes, and he shook his head calmly: "That's what an uninformed person said, is it interesting that you use other people's footcloths to wash your face?" ”
Xiao Fan was surprised: "What has Your Majesty experienced this year?" I can actually express such a deep emotion. ”
Zhu Yunwen's eyes were deep, and he couldn't extricate himself from memories: "You left Beijing to quell the rebellion, and I had a whim one day, and I wanted to learn from the romantic gentlemen in those books and experience the taste of wind and dust......"
"It's a micro-service prostitute." Xiao Fan defined this behavior.
Zhu Yunwen was silent for a moment and said, "If you don't embellish it...... Yes, your summary is precise. Entering the Qinglou, the old bustard was very polite, and the girl was also very beautiful, so I was drunk that day, the girl was also drunk, crazy all night, back pain, I felt a sense of accomplishment at that time, but after waking up, I accidentally saw a booklet on the girl's dresser, which was full of numbers, and it looked like the account book of the household......"
"Does the girl have a habit of keeping accounts?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head dejectedly, and said: "Later, I learned that the booklet was the girl's pleasure book, and all the benefactors in it were her benefactors, and those numbers were the length and size of the benefactors' words......"
Xiao Fan was speechless, and after a long time, he comforted gently: "This girl's hobby is really special...... However, what Qinglou does is the business of Zhang Shuwei, why should Your Majesty be worried? ”
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and sighed: "I don't mind this, what I do mind is that it is all ranked by length, and I am ranked on the last page, which reads 'Gongzi surnamed Zhu, three inches and five minutes'......"
Xiao Fan was dumbfounded: "............"
After a heavy shot of the dragon case, Zhu Yunwen was inexplicably sad and indignant: "It's wrong!" Miss by a mile! …… I'm obviously four inches! ”
Xiao Fan: "............"
"Xiao Shiyu, can you understand my feelings?" Zhu Yunwen's handsome face was full of sadness.
"Understood! The dignified son of tomorrow, he had to pay for it when he slept with a woman, and finally came back with a stomach, which is the so-called lord worries about the humiliation of the minister, the lord humiliates the minister and dies, and the minister ,...... Angry! ”
Zhu Yunwen smiled like he had met a confidant, and then asked curiously: "If she also includes you in her search spectrum, where can you rank?" ”
Xiao Fan flickered for a moment, and gently shook his bangs quite proudly: "If nothing else, it should be the first page." ”
Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and glared at him, all kinds of envy and jealousy: "............"
After a long time, Zhu Yunwen sighed faintly: "I think that domestic flowers are still ...... fragrant than wild flowers."
"The minister agrees."
"Xiao Shi reads ......"
"The minister is here."
"I'll take you to that Qinglou another day, you help me take revenge and get the field back!"
“…… Obey! ”
Xiao Fan finally understood why Zhu Yunwen agreed to Ji Gang's request to enter the palace in the draft, at least the yellow flower girl would never have the opportunity to write a search for a spectrum.
…………………… After gossiping, Zhu Yunwen got down to business: "The vassal kings have already asked to withdraw their feudal lands, and some vassal kings even simply rolled up their burdens and went straight to Beijing, huh...... It's all scared of you. ”
"Shame on you!"
"What's next? Did you really cut all the domains in one fell swoop? ”
Xiao Fan thought for a while and said, "The time is ripe to cut the domain, but you still have to be cautious, this matter is not handled well, Your Majesty may lose his benevolence, and he will be regarded by the people of the world as a mean and unkind ruthless monarch, which is not good for your reputation." ”
"What should I do?"
"The vassal kings are jealous of His Majesty, nothing more than they have a strong military power in their hands, and the force is too much, which threatens the imperial court, and now the vassal kings ask for their own feudal lands, which is the best, the matter of cutting the feudal domain, in fact, has succeeded most of it so far, at this time, we don't have to rush to cut the feudal domain, but should gently comfort the feudal king, declare the benevolence of the Son of Heaven to them, and tell them that the rebellion of the Yan King is just an isolated phenomenon, and His Majesty still trusts the imperial uncles, so that they don't have to endanger themselves, and the matter of cutting the feudal domain is purely imaginary, The imperial court would never be so gracious......"
Zhu Yunwen's eyes widened: "After these words come out, won't we cut the domain?" ”
Xiao Fan said with a smile: "Some things are just talking, whoever is really is a fool, the battle of Pingyan has made such a big move, of course the vassal kings will not only look at the superficial articles, Your Majesty's imperial uncles are all old and slippery, how can they not know the meaning of the string song?" With the intelligence of the princes, of course, they can distinguish what is kind words and what is the truth, if nothing else, Your Majesty's will to appease will be passed on, and the vassal kings will continue to ask for the reduction of the domain, at that time, Your Majesty will resign, the vassal king will ask again, Your Majesty will resign, and after three requests and three resignations, Your Majesty will reluctantly agree, so that everyone will be happy, and Your Majesty's reputation for benevolence will not be damaged. ”
Zhu Yunwen pursed his lips: "It's so hypocritical! ”
