Chapter 506: Unexpected Joy

Without answering the question of the middle-aged man in green shirt, Mr. Fan gently turned the wine glass in his hand, his face expressionless. After a long time, Mr. Fan poured himself another glass of wine, and said with emotion in his tone: "Champion is red! My Fan family is a scholarly generation, since the Hongwu period, the ancestor is an official. His great-grandfather was an official to the military department, and his grandfather and father were also highly used. ”

Looking at Mr. Fan's affectionate and complicated appearance, there was a hint of ridicule on the corner of the middle-aged man in the green shirt, and he was embarrassed to say it. If your ancestors knew what you were doing now, I am afraid they would crawl out of the grave.

"My Fan Wencheng has been smart since I was a child, and I was admitted to Xiucai at the age of eighteen. My father had already prepared the champion red, hoping that I would be able to go to high school one day, but when my father died, I failed to pass the exam. Pouring the wine into his mouth suddenly, Fan Wencheng's face was full of helplessness and bitterness.

The middle-aged man in the green shirt had a strange face, and he knew the origin of Fan Wencheng, but there was no sympathy on his face, but there was still a trace of disdain in his eyes. When a bitch wants to set up a torii, I'm afraid that's the kind of person I'm talking about, right? However, he also felt that Fan Wencheng didn't seem to be right, could there be something?

"Mr. Fan, the past is over, has Mr. forgotten his ideals? After I admire Mr., how can Mr. be arrogant? "I really can't stand it anymore, this is all burning eyebrows, how can I still be in the mood to be sad here?

Looking up at Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng shook his head self-deprecatingly, and said helplessly: "At the beginning, Fan Mou was not allowed to be reused in the Ming Dynasty, and he knew that the decay of the Ming Dynasty was already a sign of the death of the country. Looking at the world, Fan felt that Dajin had the ability to destroy the Ming Dynasty, just like the Meng Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty. Once Dajin enters the Central Plains, I Fan Wencheng will naturally be reused. History is written by the victors. ”

Hurriedly nodded, Ning finished me and said, "Isn't it good?" Mr. Fan is righteous, then continue to do it! ”

After glancing at me, Fan Wencheng sighed helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe God can't get used to it, the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is dead." Emperor Taichang, who ascended the throne, was only a faint monarch. Emperor Taichang died in just one month after he ascended the throne, and the newly enthroned Emperor of the Apocalypse was just a teenage child. ”

Ning Wan didn't answer Fan Wencheng's words this time, he could already vaguely guess what Fan Wencheng was going to say, but his face was even more ugly.

"Originally, a teenager was a great opportunity, but this Emperor of the Apocalypse was very unusual, which reminded me of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who ascended the throne at a young age. After ascending the throne, the first thing the Emperor of the Apocalypse did was to select talents, and the representative of this was Sun Chengzong. After having these capable ministers in the court. The Emperor of the Apocalypse began to clumsily clean up the moths in the court! Fan Wencheng drank the wine in the wine glass again, and his face became a little ruddy.

Sighing, Ning Wan agreed: "Yes! Using the smuggling case in Liaodong to get rid of those ministers, first, it can clarify the court, and second, it can block Dajin, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and the means are clever. After this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse made another move in Zhangjiakou. Completely block the source of Daikin's supplies. Punish the salt merchants in Jiangnan and return the financial power to the imperial court. The new army was organized and trained in Liaodong, and the three major battalions were reorganized and trained in the capital. Since the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne, there have been many big and small moves, but one thing can be certain! ”

"He's changing Daming, he's reviving Daming, and he's already effective. This time, Liaodong and Zunhua bloomed on both sides. Illustrate the military recovery of the Ming Dynasty. From today onwards, it will definitely become very difficult to rob the Ming Dynasty. Daikin is difficult to supply, and there must be many contradictions. Kaiyuan Ketieling was lost, and Daikin was gradually cut off from Mongolia. I am afraid that the alliance that has just been established will soon be severed. Fan Wencheng chattered while drinking, with a frustration on his face that could not be concealed.

Ning Wan's mood also became low, with a little helplessness on his face, he knew that what Fan Wencheng said was true. Since coming to the capital, Ning Wan I have seen that the Ming Dynasty is gradually becoming stronger, although the lives of the people have not changed, but while not increasing the burden on the people, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has been quietly changing the Ming Dynasty.

"Mr. Fan, having said that, Da Ming is just getting started, and many things may not be explained!" Ning Wan I want to persuade Fan Wencheng, but he doesn't know how to say it.

"Kill him!" Fan Wencheng suddenly interrupted Ning Wan's words, his face became very hideous, and he slapped the table and said.

Sitting there in a daze, Ning Wan looked at Fan Wencheng with straight eyes, and my heart was pounding. My lips kept shaking, and after a long time, I said tentatively, "Who are you talking about killing?" ”

Ning Wan was originally from Liaoyang, and I was used to seeing wars, I don't know how many dead people I have seen, and I have even killed people myself. However, when Fan Wencheng talked about killing, I was really scared.

"The Emperor of the Apocalypse is ready, the external danger has temporarily threatened the Ming Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse will start to rectify the internal affairs. Judging from the actions of the Emperor of the Apocalypse since he ascended the throne, the possibility of changing the law is very large. Once successful, do you know what that means? And the Emperor of the Apocalypse definitely has this ability to succeed, we can't sit still! Fan Wencheng had a crazy look on his face, his right hand clutched the wine glass in his hand tightly, and his fingers turned white, but Fan Wencheng didn't seem to feel anything.

Lowering his head and thinking about it, Ning Wan still shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Fan, we can do so many things in the capital because those people need us. With the evidence we have in our hands, it's rare for those people to do this. If they were to do these things, it would be impossible, and they would probably betray us! ”

Snorted coldly, Fan Wencheng said in a cold voice: "Those people are vegetarian and have no ambitions, they are just clowns jumping off the beam." Why do we put our plans out to them and to them? Just take advantage of them! You must know that the Emperor of the Apocalypse has just given birth to a son, and once the Emperor of the Apocalypse dies, then it will be his son who will succeed him. When the time comes, the lord is weak and the ministers are strong, coupled with the harem and eunuchs interfering in politics, the Ming Dynasty will definitely go downhill, and the day of the Ming Dynasty's demise is not far away. ”

Although there were still a lot of concerns, Ning Wan was also very excited about Fan Wencheng's plan, and his tone was no longer so firm, and he said, "But the Emperor of the Apocalypse lives deep in the palace. If you want to assassinate, it can be said that it is as difficult as the sky, and we do not have enough manpower, I am afraid that the operation will be fruitless! ”

Seeing that Ning Wan no longer insisted but agreed with his own opinion, Fan Wencheng's face suddenly showed joy. In fact, after he got the news, Fan Wencheng had already made a decision, and what he did today was just to convince Ning Wan. There was a slight groan. Fan Wencheng spoke again: "Since you have already made a decision, then things will be easy to do!" We must unite all the forces that can be united, as long as the Emperor of the Apocalypse is killed, great things can be done! ”

According to the current situation and the power they can use, the two of them broke things down and left the bargain shop separately.

Ning Wan and I left in a carriage, and the car stopped in front of a mansion, and the door obviously knew him. Seeing that Ning finished and I came back, Menzi hurriedly greeted me with a smile. Flatteringly: "Mr. Ning is back!" The lord has been waiting for you for a long time, please see you in the back garden! ”

Nodding expressionlessly, ignoring Menzi, Ning Wan raised my legs and walked in. Suddenly a gust of wind came out, and the lantern hanging on the door fell, and Ning Wan was stunned for a moment, looking at the lantern with Korean characters written on it, thoughtful. Until the housekeeper comes out. Standing there and counting the doors, I walked in.

Unlike Ning Wan. Fan Wencheng didn't go to anyone's mansion, he walked alone on the street for a long time, and only turned around and entered an alley after making sure that no one was following him. Came to the door of an inconspicuous courtyard, gently pushed the door open, and walked in. There seemed to be someone waiting inside, and Fan Wencheng walked in. The man said, "My lord, is everything going well?" ”

Fan Wencheng nodded, and said with a happy face: "Everything is going well, but the preparations have begun!" ”

The man's face suddenly turned happy, and he beckoned several figures around him to walk behind. Soon it disappeared through the back door, and everything was quiet again.

The capital is very big and there are a lot of people, if it weren't for the heart, I'm afraid no one would find anything abnormal. Although Dongchang and Jinyiwei were trying their best to investigate, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not very satisfied.

Putting down the fold in his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse gently rubbed his swollen forehead and sighed helplessly. Although the people who wrote to impeach Sun Chengzong have died down, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has always been obsessed with this matter.

However, the imperial history has heard that the Emperor of the Apocalypse cannot be too harsh, and the Jinyi Guard cannot arrest people in the edict. Although it was found that there might be a shadow behind the gap between the slaves and a few people were arrested, all of them died in the edict without exception. This is the real dead man, the psychology of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is very clear, the more this is the case, the more worried the Emperor of the Apocalypse is.

In the past few days, the court and the central government have all congratulated each other, and those people seem to have died down, as if nothing had happened. There must be a demon when something goes wrong, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse also smelled a little weird aura.

"Wang Chengen, is there anything urgent recently?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse really didn't have the heart to look at the twists and turns anymore, and lowered his head and said to Wang Chengen on the side.

"Back to the emperor, the officials have just come up again, it's about this year's performance appraisal of the officials!" Wang Chengen stood aside respectfully, he knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't have the heart to look at the twists and turns, and he had already written them down by the celebrant supervisor.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slightly, although the officials had to evaluate their performance every year, most of them were just formalities. The Emperor of the Apocalypse knew very well in his heart that the Ming Dynasty did not have a sound mechanism for inspecting officials, and Jingcha had also become a tool for party struggle. Although Zhang Juzheng made a test method, it is no longer meaningful.

Looking up at the weather outside, the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned, and said to Wang Chengen with a smile: "Go and prepare, I want to go to the Ministry of Officials." ”

"Your Majesty, if there is anything you can do to find Lord Zhou, why should the emperor go in person!" Wang Chengen respectfully saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and there was a slight worry in his tone.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse loves to leave the palace so much, Wang Chengen is really afraid of something, you must know that the Emperor Zhengde back then was addicted to micro-service. There is nothing yet, not many people know about it, if the news spreads, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the Emperor of the Apocalypse!

Waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ignored Wang Chengen's advice, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can bring a few more people to prepare!" I just went to the ministry, there will be no problem, and no one knows that I am out of the palace. ”

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't listen to him, Wang Chengen's eyes were a little dim, and he was a little helpless. But he also told himself in his heart that the emperor didn't think so, and he must be more careful.

Without too much delay, the Emperor of the Apocalypse led people to the gate of the Ministry of Officials. But before I could go inside, I noticed that something seemed to be happening here. Several people were arguing, including the junior officials of the ministry, but they didn't do anything.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse got out of the car with the support of Wang Chengen, and walked to the scene with a few people, wanting to hear what was going on inside.

There were two people arguing with the officials of the ministry. All of them are wearing green shirts, holding folding fans in their hands, and they look like both of them are famous people from the dress. But it's definitely not a jinshi, otherwise he wouldn't have quarreled with the officials here.

Judging from the faces of the two people, the two should be brothers, because they look more alike, they are both in their thirties, and they have a wisp of beard on their chins. Although he was not lightly angered by the little officials, he still paid attention to his image when he quarreled. See more and more people around. It seems to be the elder brother's humanity: "Ying Xing, don't be like these dog-eyed low-level officials, and lose your reputation in vain." Let's go, don't do it! ”

The younger man was also more resolute, nodded vigorously, and followed his brother outside.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse came closer, he happened to see this scene and heard that the younger brother was called Ying Xing. The Emperor of the Apocalypse was suddenly a little stunned. Although there was shock on his face, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that he needed to confirm it carefully. Turning his head to Wang Chengen, he ordered: "Take those two people to the restaurant opposite, where is this son waiting for them!" ”

"Yes, Childe!" Wang Chengen didn't know why the Emperor of the Apocalypse was interested in these two people, and only thought that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was looking for trouble with the ministry. Not daring to slack off in the slightest, Wang Chengen walked quickly to stop the two brothers.

Nodding to the two brothers with a smile, Wang Chengen said solemnly: "Two sons." Our young master is invited, I hope the two sons will enjoy the light! ”

The two brothers were stunned for a moment, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw the caution in each other's eyes. looked at Wang Chengen carefully, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a housekeeper of a big family. The elder brother of the two brothers hurriedly returned the salute. said: "I don't know who your son is?" Why are you looking for my brothers? ”

"The name of my son-in-law, the old man dare not mention it, and as for what is the matter, it is not for the old man to ask. The two sons are handsome and talented, presumably my son-in-law has the heart to make friends, and please don't shirk them! Wang Chengen looked like a housekeeper, and he was neither humble nor arrogant when he spoke, invisibly raising the value of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

If in the next life, someone stops you on the street, saying that they want to know you because they are handsome, and I wonder how you will feel? However, in this day and age, this is acceptable, especially among scholars, and this kind of thing is not uncommon.

After thinking about it for a while, the two brothers understood, it must be that the young master just saw that his two brothers were at the entrance of the official department, and the young masters of the rich families are relatively idle, this is curiosity!

Seeing Wang Chengen's sincere appearance, the two brothers were not easy to excuse themselves, and arched their hands to Wang Chengen with a smile, and said, "The tired old man is leading the way in front!" ”

Wang Chengen was relieved when he saw that the two of them agreed, and if they didn't agree, it would take some effort. If you can't invite people to go, it will inevitably leave an unfavorable impression on the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Drinking the tea in his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Wang Chengen's direction helplessly, and just when he was bored waiting, Wang Chengen walked up with someone.

"Look at the two of them, they have the heart to make friends in the next sudden, and they take the liberty to invite each other, hoping that the two of them will not be surprised. In the white jade of the lower capital, haven't you consulted the two happy names? The Emperor of the Apocalypse greeted him with a smile, a standard reading person.

When the two brothers saw a young man coming up, they knew that this was the young master in the mouth of the old butler, so they hurriedly returned the salute with their fists and said, "I take the liberty to bother, I hope Brother Bai Xian will not be surprised!" I am the newcomer Song Yingsheng, this is the younger brother Song Yingxing! ”

After listening to the self-introduction of the two people, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was immediately ecstatic, it was really good, how could he forget this person? This is the author of "Heavenly Creation", the greatest scientist of our time. If Xu Guangqi is very good at firearms, then this Song Yingxing is good at everything. Whether it's agriculture, machinery, mining, etc., he knows it all.

What the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw the most was that Song Yingxing had studied sound waves, what a great research this was! The Emperor of the Apocalypse believed that under his guidance, Song Yingxing would definitely become the most famous scientist of this era. He will be the first scientist in the world to be the world's first.

Seeing Song Yingxing, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly felt that that matter had been settled, and now he could start to prepare. Stretching out his hand to signal the two of them to sit down, the Emperor of the Apocalypse motioned to Wang Chengen to arrange wine and food.

The Song brothers on one side were also looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, whether it was dressed or imposing, the young son on the other side was definitely not simple. When he heard the names of the two, the joy of this son came from the heart, but why is this?

However, neither of the two brothers asked, so he naturally came to the two of them, and there must be his intentions. When the food and wine were ready, the two brothers swallowed their saliva, the two of them had not eaten since the morning, and now they were indeed a little hungry. (To be continued......)
