Chapter 249: Self-Recommendation
In front of the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, Xiao Fan opened a pair of big eyes, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
"I ...... Am I the champion? Again, he asked for it in disbelief.
Hanlin, who announced the decree, bowed down and said with a smile: "That is, the Son of Heaven has issued an order, and the Ministry of War has made a book, and within a few days, the people of the world will know about it, can this be fake?" Champion, you are the real champion......"
"I just hit the slingshot once......" Xiao Fan's face kept twitching.
"Then it depends on who hits, there are so many people on the school field, and the adults just hit the list, not everyone has this quasi-head, who can bear the name of the champion except for adults?"
Xiao Fan thought for a while and said, "To put it simply, I can be this champion all because the list is more unlucky, do you mean that?" β
Han Lin said with a smile: "This ...... It can be understood in this way. β
Xiao Fan looked up to the sky and sighed, what the fuck is this called! In this era with the will of the emperor as the standard, anything ridiculous and absurd is possible, and others can't get it if they ask for an official and a half-job to study hard for a lifetime, but they are good, they don't have to spend anything, just play a slingshot when they pass by the school, and they lose the name of a martial champion, how can they live?
You don't have to think about it to know that at this moment, I don't know how many people spit on Xiao Fan's name, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred...... Cao Yi on the side saw Xiao Fan's depressed appearance, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't hesitate, don't hesitate, the name of Wu Zhuangyuan should be yours, and it is well ......deserved to fall on you."
Xiao Fan showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Brother Cao, do you also think that I am born with a martial arts face?" β
Cao Yi smiled strangely: "Have you forgotten your famous name in the rivers and lakes?" I don't accept it! Now that the rivers and lakes are ranked first in the weapon spectrum, the tricks of the people in the rivers and lakes are really bright, I expected you to be the first before the martial arts, tsk, the name of the martial champion, except for you, who is qualified to be? β
Speaking of this, Xiao Fan became more and more depressed, and said bitterly: "Brother Cao, actually...... It's okay not to comfort people, you don't have to force yourself to say it. β
Hanlin waited for the edict and said with a smile: "Champion Gong, Your Majesty has a will, order Champion Yuan Gong to change his clothes and hat immediately......"
"Changing clothes and hats? Do what? β
"Parade through the streets." Hanlin's old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Traveling in the street to praise officials, is the first three special honors of the ancient scientific examination, that is, by the Son of Heaven decreed, the charter champion, the list of eyes, the three people of Tanhua put on the big red robe, the official hat is inserted with palace flowers, riding on the high-headed horse, the front of the Ministry of Rites and Rites officials hold the holy decree, the official of the official service gong opens the way, ride around the city in the imperial city and walk around the city, accept the admiration and congratulations of the officials and people of the capital, because of the holy decree held by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, all the officials and people along the way must kneel and bow, kowtow to the holy decree, it can be said that the street is the most beautiful moment on the way.
Xiao Fan felt that he was not beautiful at all, his face was bitter like a distorted dough, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites changed him into a big red robe and an official hat with palace flowers in the inner hall of the yamen.
Originally, the officials of the Ministry of Rites also suggested that Xiao Fan's face be smeared with some red pink rouge, so that he looked energetic, but Xiao Fan sternly refused.
Surrounded by Cao Yi, Yuan Zhong and other capable subordinates of the brocade guard, Xiao Fan walked out of the yamen wearing a big red robe.
"Brother Cao, Brother Yuan, do you have a conscience, don't you think I'm dressed like I just got out of the pot?" Xiao Fan looked down at his big red robe, no matter how he looked at it, it was not pleasing to the eye.
"Not like! How can a dignified champion be like? The two denied it in unison with straight faces.
Xiao Fan just breathed a sigh of relief, but the two exchanged words in front of him.
ββ¦β¦ It's not image at all, I feel like a big red envelope. β
"I feel like a red lantern ......"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
The two of them argued in a disembodied manner, as if they had completely forgotten that the handsome face of the party had become darker than the bottom of the pot.
Stepping out of the middle gate of the yamen, Xiao Fan was startled by the spectacular scene of the crowd outside the yamen.
"Champion...... Is it that pretty? "Xiao Fan even changed his tone, if he wanted to marry the county lord of Jiangdu at the beginning, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as grand as it is now, right?
Cao Yi squeezed his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course the champion is good-looking, this is auspicious in the world, you can get a lot of extravagance at a glance, of course the people are eager to ......"
Xiao Fan let out a long sigh, he decided that after entering the palace, he must follow Zhu Yunwen's head to make a long-lost move to split Huashan, even if he is guilty of driving and bullying the king, he will admit it, the kind of person who is not in tune when he becomes the emperor is not in tune, he owes a cigarette!
Under the diligent guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the cheerful embrace of the subordinates of the brocade guards, Xiao Fan went out of the yamen to the left, and saw three horses with big red silk flowers, and two big men wearing big red robes and palace flower hats like him, one of them had a calm expression, and the other had a smile on his face, and there was a flattering meaning that could not be concealed in his smile.
You don't need to ask to know that these two people are the martial arts eyes and martial arts detectives of Jinke, if Xiao Fan didn't temporarily appear on the school field to shoot that slingshot, these two people should be the champions and leaders of Jinke.
As soon as Xiao Fan approached, the two of them stepped forward, hugged their fists at Xiao Fan and said: "Caomin is on the list of eyes of Ji Gang (Tanhua Musu), meet the champion Gong!" β
Xiao Fan felt ashamed, and couldn't help but blush when he heard the words, and looked up to the sky and snorted: "You're polite, you don't have to be polite, to be honest, the champion of this official is really lucky......"
The two of them did not change their faces, and they hummed secretly in their hearts, isn't it a fluke, this is definitely a big truth...... Xiao Fan couldn't help but laugh, and then pointed at Wu Bang's eyes and said in amazement: "What did you just say your name is?" β
"Caomin Shandong Linyi, Ji Gang." Dahan hugged his fists again.
"Ji Gang? Hiss-" Xiao Fan's eyes widened and he gasped in shock.
Ji Gang, the power of the Ming Dynasty, the third commander of the Jinyi Wei in history, his people are scheming, cruel and murderous, and he is among the top positions by recommending himself and supporting the rebellion of King Yan, and becomes the court power of Yongle Nian, clearing the Jianwen Yu Party for Zhu Di, killing Jianwen's old ministers I don't know how many, and after clearing dissidents for Zhu Di, Ji Gang is more and more valued by Zhu Di, and since then his power in the court has become more and more scorching. Ordered the family servants to shout long live for him, and followed the example of Zhao Gao of Qin, playing the trick of pointing the deer as a horse, in order to test whether the ministers of the court and the central government had enemies with him, and later he raised countless outlaws, and made tens of thousands of weapons privately, and actually wanted to make a move to usurp the throne, but was discovered by Zhu Di, and finally ended up with a Ling Chi execution.
In a word, this guy is a bad guy, a bad guy through and through.
Xiao Fan only felt that his head was buzzing, history had changed because of his arrival, Ji Gang, who was supposed to take the initiative to take refuge in Zhu Di when he passed through Shandong after the rebellion, now participated in the martial arts of the imperial court, and by mistake became a martial artist, the rebels became royalists, and the joke made by God this time is really not small...... Knowing what kind of person Ji Gang was in history, Xiao Fan immediately raised his vigilance, and kept looking at him with a pair of eyes.
Ji Gang is a typical Shandong man, tall and burly, with a thick waist and round shoulders, a dark bearded face exuding a shrewd and strong color, just looking at the appearance, Ji Gang definitely belongs to the kind of loyal martial arts image, no wonder Zhu Di in history once trusted him so much, this person's appearance is too deceptive, at first glance, he looks like a simple and honest, straightforward man without scheming, such a person is the favorite person of the superior, he doesn't even have to find an excuse to use him as a gun, just give orders.
People can't look good, Xiao Fan once again felt that the words of the ancients were really reasonable.
At first glance, when he heard Ji Gang report his name, Xiao Fan's first reaction at that time was murderous, and he wanted to kill Ji Gang on the spot with Jinyi Guard, this person is too bad, and it may become a disaster if he stays behind, Zhu Yunwen is too simple, if he is deceived by Ji Gang's appearance, I don't know what hurtful things he will do in the future.
After thinking about it, Xiao Fan held back again.
If Ji Gang was just a powerless martial artist now, Xiao Fan wouldn't even have to find an excuse to kill him, and it would be too simple and ordinary for Jinyiwei to kill a civilian. But now, Ji Gang is already Zhu Yunwen's hand-picked eye of today's science and martial arts, and he is considered a person with official status and fame, and it would be too much to kill him at this time, and the court Qingliu will fight hard to impeach him, Zhu Yunwen may not say anything, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be something in his heart, which will cast a shadow on Xiao Fan and his friendship, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Leng Leng looked at Ji Gang for a long time, Xiao Fan's face was cloudy, sometimes green and sometimes red, and his handsome face became like a kaleidoscope, and he saw that everyone around him was confused and inexplicable.
Ji Gang looked at him cautiously, and said, "Champion Gong...... Marquis Xiao ......"
Xiao Fan was called back to his soul: "Ah, what? β
Ji Gang took two steps back, suddenly his knees weakened, bowed to Xiao Fanna, and said loudly: "The champion public school field is mighty, a bullet will beat the grass people to immobilization, worthy of the original leader into the grassland, for the Ming Society set up a great merit of the immortal general, the grass people have long known that the champion of the public civil and military all-round, now it is said that it is personally taught, the grass people are not admirable, willing to use the brute force of ten stones, self-recommendation Hou Ye's disciples, from then on for Hou Ye to lead the horse and fall into the stirrup, serve the work of dogs and horses!" β
Ji Gang's move, not only Xiao Fan, but everyone around him was stunned.
This is a very direct refuge, in front of so many people, and with the body of the new martial arts list, to Xiao Fan to express his intention to take refuge, I have to say that Ji Gang is really a smart person, and the time to find it is very appropriate, this move not only greatly increased Xiao Fan's face in front of everyone, but also expressed his sincerity in the public, to be honest, if Xiao Fan didn't know what kind of goods Ji Gang was, maybe he would really be overjoyed by Ji Gang's move.
But now, Xiao Fan has a feeling of swallowing flies alive...... He is recognized as a party annihilator, Ji Gang, a famous annihilator in history, it is said that the two should smell like each other, hit it off, and contribute to the great cause of the vigorous scourge of the court, exuding light and heat.
But...... Xiao Fan doesn't think it's right, although the annihilation party is the annihilation of the party, but we are also a group of idealistic, high-quality and educated ministers in the new era, we are stylish, okay? It's not all bad guys. And I, Xiao Fan, am the good guy among the bad guys, the undercover agent among the ministers, are you looking for the wrong door when you take refuge in me?
Ji Gang slammed his head on the ground, didn't wait for Xiao Fan's reply, didn't dare to raise his head for a long time, his forehead touched the ground, and the beads of sweat on his head fell to the ground drop by drop.
The onlookers were all silent, quietly watching Xiao Fan's reaction.
Although the Ming Dynasty has long been without the atmosphere of raising diners, but it is only a change in form, in fact, many high-ranking officials in this era have such a group of protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials who work for him, and the fierce party competition in the Ming Dynasty is largely because of the help of their protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, so as to form a force and achieve the purpose of striking political enemies. This kind of person regards himself as a "subordinate", and in today's social climate, it is very common for a big official to accept a subordinate.
Of course, Xiao Fan didn't mind accepting one, but unfortunately, this person was Ji Gang...... Who is Ji Gang? After this guy gained power, he even dared to make Emperor Yongle's rebellion, it can be described as ambitious, hidden evil, the more humble and lowly he behaved in front of Xiao Fan, the more it means that he has a plan, the person who is good at forbearance is the most terrifying, what is the difference between accepting him by his side and raising a white-eyed wolf? Xiao Fan was not arrogant enough to think that dispersing the king would be able to completely subdue him.
A wolf is a wolf, it doesn't matter how long it is raised, once it is hungry, it will still bite its owner to death.
Facing everyone's eyes, Xiao Fan squatted down, patted Ji Gang's shoulder with a smile, and said: "You and I are friends of the same department and the same class in the same year, and I can't afford to be under this official." β
Ji Gang's face showed excitement: "What the grass people see in their eyes is that when today's son is close to the minister, the Marquis of Hehe Chengyi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, not only the champion of today's science and martial arts, ask the Marquis to learn clearly!" β
Xiao Fan sighed and said earnestly: "My reputation is really bad, I'm afraid it will affect you......"
"Grass people like to be notorious, so it's good to ......"
Xiao Fan was stunned: "I have many enemies, and I am often assassinated......"
"Grass people like exciting life, and they can't ...... it"
"My character is very questionable......"
"The grass people's character is even worse, and even suspicion is saved."
"I'm still very......" Xiao Fan's face sweated slightly.
Who knew that Ji Gang was ecstatic, slapped his chest hard, and slapped it loudly.
Xiao Fan was shocked and hurriedly added: "...... But I'm not good at men, and I don't want to recommend myself, this is the principle! β
Ji Gang said happily: "No, Master Hou, the old lady of the grass people has been widowed for many years, although she is a little older, she is quite beautiful......"
