Chapter Eighty-Seven: First Sight of King Yan
The blind coaxing of the captains in brocade clothes did not affect Xiao Fan.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to carefully examine the unchanging vassal king in front of him.
The vassal king is the prince, the respect of the prince, and he is still quiet when he is bullied like this in Beijing, and his temper is not ordinarily good.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the surname is not ordinary vicious, maybe he is thinking of some kind of damage trick to cut himself clean...... No matter which of the above possibilities, such a person can't afford to offend, Xiao Fan is much smarter than these brocade captains who don't have long brains, what about Jinyi Wei Tongzhi? That's the face given by Zhu Yuanzhang, but you rely on this little face to bully the son of Lao Zhu, which can't be said, who is closer to the son or the minister? Fools understand the truth.
Waving his hand to stop the noise of the captains, Xiao Fan smiled at the vassal king: "This ...... Your Highness, I'm really sorry, the subordinates of the lower officials lack discipline, the lower officials are offended, Your Highness, please take care of yourself. ”
The vassal king glanced at him very majestically, and his eyes showed a bit of playfulness: "It's a clever person who knows how to measure, hehe, what?" Now you don't punish the king's money? ”
Xiao Fan shook his head and smiled: "No punishment, Your Highness can do as much as you want." ”
The vassal king pointed to the captains behind Xiao Fan and said with a smile: "Law enforcement can't be like a mountain, how can you serve the public in front of your subordinates?" ”
Xiao Fan took out a small piece of broken silver from his arms, handed it to a stunned brocade-clothed hundred-hundred-hundred-......hundred- This fine can only be paid by the lower officials. ”
A strange look flashed in the vassal king's eyes, and he said, "This ...... Can it convince the public? ”
Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "Of course, this can't convince the public, but it can tell them a truth." ”
"What's the truth?"
Xiao Fan stared at the vassal king and said word by word: "The principle of superiority and inferiority, in this world, a lowly person should naturally pay for a person with a noble status, whether he wants to or not." ”
The vassal king smiled, and his expression gradually condensed: "You think it's unfair? ”
"No, it's fair, because of this, there is a kind of motivation in this world that inspires people to keep climbing upward, and the humble have the hope of living, and only then do they have the ambition and ** to change the status quo, only when they also become a person with a noble status, he is qualified to look down on others, just like His Highness is now looking down on the lower officials."
The vassal king couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What's your name?" What is the official position? ”
"Xiaguan Xiao Fan, who is a fellow acquaintance of Jinyi Wei, is also a waiter in the East Palace."
The vassal king thought about it, and finally suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are Xiao Fan!" Cao Yi mentioned you in his letter to this king before, hehe, it's really a coincidence! ”
Xiao Fan's brain exploded when he heard this.
Yan Wang Zhu Di! The vassal king in front of him, who smiled as heartily and heroically as a northern man, was actually Zhu Di, the king of Yan!
I can't imagine that this bearded hero who looks like a man who eats meat and drinks wine in a big bowl on the rivers and lakes, laughs out loud when he is in a good mood, and slaps the table and scolds his mother when he is in a bad mood, is actually King Yan!
If he hadn't crossed it, in a few years, he would have defeated his nephew Zhu Yunwen without accident, and then successfully ascended to the throne under the kneeling of the hundreds of officials in Beijing, becoming the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, creating the first prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, Yongle Shengshi, his means of governing the country are mature and ruthless, whether it is governance or martial arts, more than a little bit stronger than Zhu Yunwen...... How to describe this hidden version of the emperor of the hidden dragon in the abyss?
No one in this world knows better than Xiao Fan, hidden under the heroic and friendly appearance of King Yan, what kind of ruthless and vicious heart he has, he smiles boldly and calmly, anyone who sees him will have a kind of trust in him from the bottom of their hearts, because his smile makes people feel very relieved, very good, and will make people feel that he is a heroic person without scheming, such a person is the easiest to make friends, because all his words and deeds are frank and unrestrained, who will be wary of such a person? Who wouldn't want to approach?
But who could know that such a heroic person has a bad intention to seek the country and usurp the throne in his heart? Who would believe that he smiled so harmlessly and openly, but in fact, there was a brutal blood flowing in his bones that was not inferior to that of his father Zhu Yuanzhang?
Xiao Fan felt a layer of cold sweat behind his back, and the cold wind blew, and it was cold.
Fortunately, I didn't offend him just now, otherwise with the surname of King Yan, who is not inferior to the Shaolin abbot Master Mengyi, it is estimated that he will have to start the countdown when he is alive.
King Yan smiled heartily, Xiao Fan stood in place, pulling the corners of his mouth and smiling stupidly, at the moment he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.
King Yan stopped after laughing a few times, staring at him with sharp eyes, like a wolf staring at its prey, and the strong sense of oppression made Xiao Fan feel very uncomfortable.
"It seems that you already know who this king is?"
"Yes, Xiaguan Xiao Fan, meet His Royal Highness King Yan." Xiao Fan bowed and saluted.
King Yan nodded, stroked his long beard slowly, and said slowly: "Cao Yi said that you are a capable person, this king didn't take his words to heart, but now when I see it, I feel that what Cao Yi said is true." Yes, there are very few young people who know how to be as restrained and hidden as you, if it weren't for the fate of one side today, this king would have almost slowed down the countrymen, please accept the sin of this king's previous contempt. ”
Saying that, King Yan actually made a long gesture to Xiao Fan in front of everyone, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Everyone around was shocked, they didn't expect that with the dignity of the king of the domain, they would respectfully salute a poor boy who was born as a Jinshi, what kind of virtue can this kid do? What's more, King Yan behaved so politely and virtuously, such a virtuous king is really respectable from the bottom of my heart.
Xiao Fan was also taken aback by King Yan's actions, and then he understood, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.
Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors and said, Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time.
This His Royal Highness King Yan is really not a simple character!
Zhu Yunwen, if you wrestle with your Fourth Emperor Uncle in the future, I'm afraid you will ...... now Forget it, it's too late to start practicing now, it's not an opponent of the same level at all, or I'll help you cheat. – What is the golden ratio of black powder? Was the cannon invented in this era? Probably haven't made a grenade or a crooked machine gun yet, right? How did the atomic bomb come about? Why don't you follow the example of King Yan and send a group of dead soldiers covered with explosives to storm the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping? It's okay if you can't kill and scare him.............................. "His Royal Highness King Yan has tormented the lower officials, you must not do this, the lower officials can't afford it......" Xiao Fan had a flattered expression, like a thousand miles of horses who were favored by Bole, racing the show, King Yan is an acting school, and he is not bad.
King Yan straightened up, looked at him with a smile, and then nodded slowly: "Yes, he is a promising person, his edge is not revealed, Shenhua is introverted, knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to measure, very good!" ”
Xiao Fan is really a little complacent at this time, this is called a discerning hero, no matter whether King Yan is telling the truth or not, whether their position in the future is hostile or not, anyway, this sounds very comfortable, if it weren't for the fact that he already knew what kind of person King Yan was, maybe he would have been really moved by him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan was a little resentful, Zhu Yunwen had never praised himself so much, and he had to train him when he went back, so that he could know how to praise other people's necessary surnames at all times, especially the necessary surnames of Xiao Fan to praise him.
The ancients were so modest, and others praised them so hard, they always had to be polite.
Who knew that before Xiao Fan could say anything, King Yan stroked his beard and smiled: "...... Seeing your young and promising appearance, this king remembered when I was young, just like you are now, hehe......"
Xiao Fan's grateful mood suddenly disappeared, and he praised King Yan for a long time, and the last sentence was the finishing touch, so much foreshadowing, the person he really wanted to praise was himself, Xiao Fan was just a green leaf.
The big guys are really thick black.
Xiao Fan understood a truth: ancient people also had shamelessness.
King Yan said a few words to him and left, giving him a smile of unknown meaning before leaving.
Followed by King Yan was a thin monk, looking wilted, like a very spiritless sick tiger, when he passed by Xiao Fan, he also looked at Xiao Fan deeply, his eyes were very strange, as if he wanted to remember Xiao Fan's appearance deeply, a little unforgettable.
This is the first meeting between Xiao Fan and King Yan, it is not pleasant, it is not unpleasant, it is like two straight lines intersecting, except for one intersection point, nothing is left.
Xiao Fan didn't care about studying Yan Wang deeply for the time being, he was very busy and busy with fines.
The power of the three hundred city management is really not covered, at the end of the day, the Zhenfu Division received more than 2,000 taels of silver, according to this situation, you can make a hundred thousand taels for nothing in two months, I really don't know how many rich people in the capital have suffered this day, and the commander makes Li Jinglong happy like something, looking at Xiao Fan's eyes full of admiration, the master is really a master, this year can untie the belt of women's underwear, and at the same time know how to make money There are not many talents. Jin Yiwei has Xiao Fan, a fellow acquaintance, as his deputy, and Li Jinglong, like the heroine in Grandma Qiong's novel, is so happy that he is about to explode.
It is certain that Jingshi Yingtian is absolutely qualified to apply for the creation of a national civilized city, two months later, there should be no more people on the street who spit, throw garbage, and scold people, this is a good thing, Jinyiwei has solved the urgent need, and the people have improved their quality, all happy, win-win!
After wandering the streets all day, Xiao Fan saw a steady stream of lavishly decorated carriages pouring into Jingshi from all directions.
It seems that the princes of the foreign domains have come back one after another, and the Jingshi will be lively for a while during this time.
Exhausted sitting in a room on the side of the second hall of the Zhenfu Division, this room is set aside for Xiao Fan's office, and he knows that this position is equivalent to the second-in-command of Jinyiwei, in this Zhenfu Division's yamen, in addition to Li Jinglong, Xiao Fan is the biggest, especially when Li Jinglong is now worshipping the second-in-command, Xiao Fan's status in Jinyiwei is not ordinarily high.
Just took a sip of tea and was about to clock in and go home from work, the light outside the door flickered a few times, and then a cowering figure slowly approached the door, like a rabbit full of vigilance, running away as soon as the wind blows, Xiao Fan in the room worried about him.
"Who's out there? Come in if you have something, get out if you have nothing to do! You're still hugging the pipa outside, do I still have to call for a thousand times? Xiao Fan, who was tired for a day, didn't have a good airway.
The figure outside the door stopped, as if he had given himself some courage, and finally flashed softly and appeared in front of Xiao Fan's eyes.
Xiao Fan raised his eyes and immediately smiled.
"Oops! It turned out to be a bachelor of solution, and he was far away, hehe...... By the way, you're not going to do it again, are you? ”
Xie Jin outside the door hurriedly shook his head, he was wearing a crimson official robe, his expression was a little embarrassed, he wanted to squeeze out a smile, but as if he was hindering the face of the reader, he couldn't squeeze it out, and as a result, his face was distorted as if he was constipated, which was extremely ugly.
Xiao Fan warmly invited him into the door and sat down, and said happily: "It's good that I'm not here to announce the decree, it's not that I said you, the bachelor is only eight buckets high, and you are rich and rich, you can't always do that kind of errand......
Xie Jin's face became even more embarrassed.
After the two sat down, Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows at Xie Jin: "Surrender?" ”
"Huh?" Xie Jin was shocked and hurriedly shook his head: "...... No. ”
Xiao Fan nodded, and said coldly: "Come to inform?" ”
"Ahh Xie Jin jumped up from his chair in fright, and said angrily: "No! ”
"I'm a brocade guard here, you're not turning yourself in, and you're not here to tell the truth, why are you running here with me? Don't tell me that you came here to practice your guts, I'll have someone arrest you and put you in prison to practice your guts......"
Xie Jin was anxious, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm here to pass on Your Majesty's message, when Ming said, after the early dynasty dispersed, Your Majesty summoned you in Wuying Palace......"
Xiao Fan paused for a moment, and then realized: "It turns out that Bachelor Xie is still doing errands......
Xie Jin's face was red-eared: "I'...... Just now I was on an errand in the Wenhua Palace, and I met Your Majesty, and Your Majesty let me tell you by the way......"
"Oh, it turned out to be an errand run by the way...... Xiao Fan looked at him, and when he saw that he looked cowardly, he suddenly wondered: "Bachelor Xie has nothing else to do besides passing on His Majesty's message?" ”
Xie Jin's face was as red as a glow, nodded, and said with difficulty: "...... Yes. ”
Xiao Fan said with a smile: "I said, ordinary scholars don't have extraordinary courage, how dare they take the initiative to run to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, this is a place that specializes in calamitizing scholars......
In the memory of his previous life, it seems that Xie Dacai was really killed by Jinyiwei...... Raising his eyebrows, Xiao Fan asked again, "Surrender?" ”
"You...... Why do you keep expecting me to turn myself in? Can't you hope I'm better? Xie Jin was a little angry.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Xie Jin took a deep breath, as if mentioning the greatest courage in his life, and said with a bit of trembling: "Can you ...... Can you ......?"
"Huh? What the? ”
“…… Can you give me back my two taels of silver? ”
"Master Xie, when did I owe you two taels of silver?"
Xie Jinyan said with a sad expression when he heard this: "You don't owe, but you Jinyiwei owe!" What a crime I have committed, but when I went out in the morning, I spit on the street, and you Jinyi Wei rushed up a large group of people and fined me two taels of silver......"
Xiao Fan smiled a little embarrassedly: "This...... It's not right to spit......"
Xie Jin's eyes blinked twice, tears finally came down, and he stomped his feet and said, "Then it won't fine me two taels of silver!" Whining...... They were not happy to give them the treasure money, and they had to pay for the silver, which was originally only fined one penny, but they said that there was no broken silver to give change, and if I spit out nineteen more mouthfuls, it would be even...... Woo, do you bully readers like this? It's too much! Without these two taels of silver, what will I eat next month......
