Chapter 155: Tell the Truth
Sun Tong is a girl, and Xiao Fan already knew about it when he first saw her.
She dressed as a woman and had no flaws, but the ring marks on her ears were too obvious.
As for the Adam's apple, it's not the most important thing.
Xiao Fan knows that some men also do not have an Adam's apple, which is not a strange thing, it is very common.
There is also the title.
Sun Tong has always called others a certain son, not a name, not a brother, and no style of walking the rivers and lakes.
This kind of title is still the habit of calling the daughter's family.
changed to a man, after knowing Xiao Fan, he would have already affectionately called "Brother Xiao".
"Isn't that easy to detect?" Xiao Fan said with a smile.
"Why don't I know?"
Zhang Zongbao glared: "It won't be just me, don't you see it?" ”
"It should be," Xiao Fan nodded, "Jiang Xing can also see it." ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Zongbao was devastated, with an uncomfortable expression on his face.
It was a long time.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" When Zhang Zongbao saw Xiao Fan, he kept staring at the capital.
Xiao Fan squinted and said, "I'm waiting for the people from the household department." ”
"Tobe?"
"Disaster relief?" Zhang Zongbao is not really stupid.
Xiao Fan: "Since the capital has been decided, the disaster in Gyeonggi will naturally be taken over by the imperial court." ”
"That means we don't have to give porridge anymore?" Zhang Zongbao was very happy.
What a lot of money you can save!
Xiao Fan smiled: "In less than ten days, we spent less than five hundred taels. ”
"That's money, too!"
Zhang Zongbao said: "Since the imperial court should make a move, should we withdraw the porridge shed?" ”
"Can't be withdrawn."
Xiao Fan shook his head:
"Instead, we need to scale up."
"What?"
Zhang Zongbao was puzzled: "Brother, didn't you say that we can't compete with the imperial court?" ”
Xiao Fan did say this.
When he was preparing to open a porridge shed, he told his family that Xiao Zhai should do good things, but it could not be better than the government.
That will cause the villain to be jealous, and it is easy to be put in small shoes.
Xiao Fan shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty is recovering from a serious illness, and the year is in Daji, let's take the opportunity to open a warehouse to help the people, and pray for Your Majesty for the blessing of the country, is it a battle for glory?"
"Huh?"
Zhang Zongbao was shocked: "Brother, do you have other purposes?" ”
He felt that Xiao Fan was right, but there must still be something hidden, just like this civil strife in the capital.
Zhang Zongbao felt that Xiao Fan must know a lot of things, so he was very calm throughout the whole process.
Pray for Your Majesty, this trick is very good, under this banner, you can do anything good, and no villain dares to attack.
But Zhang Zongbao believes that his brother must be planning something else.
"The four doors opened early in the morning, Li Qingshan and Lin Xi, do you have any news for me?" Xiao Fan asked.
Zhang Zongbao shook his head: "No one has ever come to our house." ”
"Then wait here, news should come soon."
As he was talking, Meng Qing appeared in front of Xiao Fan.
He trotted all the way around the crowd and led his horse to the riverbank.
The two Xiao Fan brothers were standing here at the dock, where they had watched the grain ship sink before.
"Brother Meng, is there any news?" Xiao Fan spoke first.
Meng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "Young Master Xiao, the matter in the capital has been settled, the King of Jin and the King of Huai have been defeated, and the King of Chen, King Rui, and King Shu have also rebelled and been imprisoned......"
The details were revealed by Meng Qing one by one, as if they had personally experienced last night's event.
"Where's King Jing?" Xiao Fan noticed that the prince who held the power of the army was hidden.
"King Jing led his troops to the border last night."
Meng Qing said: "He did not participate in the changes in the capital, but the mother of Princess Jing, and he was also raided by the forbidden army early in the morning because of the crime of treason." ”
"What about the Queen?"
Xiao Fan finally asked.
The queen is also a key figure.
If the emperor wants to establish the king of Qi, he must find a way to make the king of Qi his son-in-law.
Abolish the queen and make King Qi's mother the queen.
Of course, this operation is difficult, and the woman who can be the queen must be the first-class in the family of the maternal clan behind it.
But if something happens to King Jin, the queen will definitely be implicated as a mother, and if you want to move the queen, this is the best opportunity.
Justifiably.
"The queen was not implicated, it is said that His Majesty defended the queen in public and pushed everything on King Jin."
"Huh?"
Listening to Meng Qing's words, Xiao Fan was a little surprised.
Look down on this majesty!
Originally, this was the best opportunity to abolish the queen, but the emperor didn't do it.
On the contrary, he appeased the queen and exonerated her, and at the same time, he was also appeasing the forces behind the queen.
In this way, some gate valves who should have been punished were appeased by the emperor, and they were naturally afraid and grateful.
This is an excellent operation for the stability of the imperial court, as well as for the imperial power of the emperor.
"If he doesn't abolish the queen, then how can he make King Qi ......"
"I see."
In an instant, Xiao Fan thought of another possibility.
The emperor also has a way to make King Qi his son-in-law.
That is to record the king of Qi under the name of the queen, and let the king of Qi recognize the queen as his mother, so that the king of Qi will become a concubine.
Adoptive.
This operation is not unheard of in the royal family.
Not every queen can have a son, and in the past dynasties where the eldest son was established, some of the so-called sons-in-law were inherited to the queen's name.
And this operation has another advantage, that is, you can not move the position of the queen.
It is not easy to do so.
Even if they take advantage of reason, those with vested interests will fiercely oppose it, and even do not hesitate to rebel again.
Because of the abolition, the situation of the dynasty was unstable, and there were many cases of changing the dynasty.
The current emperor of the Eastern Xia Kingdom is obviously a brain.
"Let King Qi what?" Zhang Zongbao was puzzled.
Xiao Fan: "It's nothing. ”
"Brother Meng, go back and tell Brother Li that we will all be in the Qi King Party in the future, so there is no need to hide it...... However, in the past, there were few bribery methods, and they wanted to earn reputation for King Qi. ”
"Yes." Meng Qing didn't ask, he was just a messenger, and it was the shopkeeper's business to understand the content.
When Meng Qing left, Zhang Zongbao surrounded Xiao Fan and kept asking.
"Brother, why do you care so much about the capital?"
"Last night, the capital changed, did you already know the result, I found out last night, you are not surprised to see Shi Yu and those secret guards."
"It seems that you already knew that when Sun Hu entered the palace, everything would fall to the ground immediately."
"Do you trust Sun Hu's medical skills so much, or do you really know something?"
Xiao Fan looked at Zhang Zongbao and smiled without saying a word.
Then, seeing that there was no one on the left and right, he said:
"I can tell you some things, but don't pass on half a word."
"Naturally, I'm tight-lipped about it!" Zhang Zongbao swore an oath.
Xiao Fan smiled faintly and said some of the inside information selectively.
But some didn't say, like how he knew the emperor's thoughts.
That stupid big secret guard, the secret told by the drug, Xiao Fan would not tell Zhang Zongbao about this matter.
"Brother, how do you know this!"
After listening, Zhang Zongbao was stunned.
Xiao Fan only said: "Guess." ”
"Unfounded, how do you guess?" Zhang Zongbao's whole person was not good, and he felt the gap in the IQ of the brothers for a moment.
"Guess here."
Xiao Fan pointed to his head.
Zhang Zongbao wilted: "I took it...... With so many trivial clues, you actually guessed everything? ”
"What's so hard about that?" Xiao Fan pretended extraordinarily, these words were not enough to deceive others, it was enough to coax Zhang Zongbao.
Soon, Zhang Zongbao broke free from his frustration.
He whispered: "So, brother, what you asked us to do during this time was also deliberate?" ”
"What kind of soup soup and medicine, what kind of help to help the government for disaster relief, this is all to give a good impression to His Majesty the Emperor?"
Xiao Fan nodded and shook his head again.
"Yes and no."
"It's really to make a good impression on the emperor, after all, I have been known by the emperor."
However, the application of porridge and medicine also comes from the heart...... It's just a coincidence, I don't have this kind of thing, I have to find a way to do something else. ”
For Xiao Fan, such a good deed as soup porridge is not just for selling good.
can not only sell well, but also do good, why not.
There is no need to be too pedantic, it is right to be good as a stream, and it is best to be satisfied with both ideals and reality.
"Then you pry Li Qingshan, get rid of the tooth shop, and only do the business house, also for the sake of King Qi?"
"That's because I personally don't like human teeth very much." Xiao Fan shook his head.
In this year, the tooth shop is legal, and the human tooth is a legal profession, which is a complete industrial chain.
But Xiao Fan is from a civilized world, he doesn't like this, but he can't object to it, so he has to get rid of himself and the people around him.
"Brother!"
Zhang Zongbao suddenly pointed into the distance: "There are a lot of cars and horses!" ”
Xiao Fan looked up: "It's the official flag of the household department, the household department reacted quickly, and it will be in place today for disaster relief?" ”
