Shen Fan, who was bandaged into a mummy, limped into the imperial study with a cane.

The miserable appearance frightened Emperor Xiping behind the imperial case for a moment, put down the fold in his hand in a daze, and waved his hand to ask the big eunuch standing beside him to bring a chair to Shen Fan: "This ...... What's wrong again? ”

He didn't ask who beat Shen Va.

What he asked was why Shen Fa was beaten.

He pondered...... They haven't offended Yang Erlang's guy recently!

Shen Fa thanked him, sat trembling and majestic under the support of the little yellow door, and sighed in a long voice: "It's hard to say! ”

Emperor Xiping straightened his sitting posture and waved his hand to let Xiao Huangmen come in to make tea: "Then take your time, don't be in a hurry." ”

Shen Fa said weakly: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important and involves a wide range of issues, why don't you invite Father-in-law Wei and Father-in-law Liu together to discuss together." ”

Emperor Xiping bowed: "It's okay...... Chuan Weiheng, Liu Xian. ”

Xiao Huangmen received the order and hurriedly passed the decree.

Emperor Xiping picked up the tea bowl and said with curiosity: "You better tell me what is going on." ”

Shen Fa didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he had to make a short story and start with Yang Ge's grudge with the Five Poisons Sect......

Emperor Xiping knew all these things, but he didn't interrupt Shen Fan's narration, and let him tell it as eloquently as a story.

After a while, Wei Heng and Liu Xian, the new factory governor of Dongchang, entered the imperial study together, and Emperor Xiping waved their hand to exempt them from the big gift, and continued to listen to Shen Fa's narration.

And Shen Fan's two unlucky ghosts with backs were in place, and finally cut to the point, carefully recounting the process of Yang Ge going south to fight Zhang Xuansu three times, as well as Zhang Xuansu's identity and strength......

Hearing Yang Ge's speculation that Zhang Xuansu was the pinnacle master of the Fifth Realm of Martial Dao, the faces of the three people in the hall all appeared in shock.

Of course they know what it means to be a living land immortal!

What makes their hearts tremble even more is ...... Then Yang Erlang can tie with Zhang Xuansu, doesn't it mean that he already has the strength of a land immortal?

After Shen Fa finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl in his hand with a dry mouth and drank it dry.

In the huge imperial study, only the "coo" sound of his cow drink echoed.

After a while, Emperor Xiping asked with difficulty: "Yang Erlang went to Longhu Mountain and suffered a loss, what did he do to beat you?" ”

On the surface, he asked why Yang Erlang beat Shen Fa.

In fact, it was Yang Erlang's attitude towards the imperial court that was asked......

Shen Fa sighed and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, that guy felt that Wei Chen knew about Zhang Xuansu's existence in advance, but instead of telling him, he also pushed him south to find trouble with the Five Poisons Sect. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Xiping also felt reasonable: "Then did you know about this matter in advance?" ”

Shen Fa said in a mournful voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen really didn't know about this in advance, Ma Dai Na was in office when he was in office, and he was very happy, and his understanding of the rivers and lakes was extremely limited, and he didn't even know where the nest of the building outside the building was for many years......

"Ahem."

Emperor Xiping pretended to cough, covered up his embarrassment by drinking tea, and then said very considerately: "Since you really don't know, why don't you explain it to that guy?" Even if he suffers a loss in the south, he can't be angry with you indiscriminately, right? ”

Shen Fa opened his mouth, closed it again, looked at Wei Heng and Liu Xian opposite him with strange eyes, and whispered: "Your Majesty, it is indeed a dereliction of duty for Weichen to not know about Zhang Xuansu's existence in advance...... But the old ancestors of the Imperial Horse Prison have no reason and don't know about the existence of the old immortal, right? ”

Emperor Xiping turned his gaze to Wei Heng suspiciously.

Wei Heng's scalp suddenly went numb, but the emperor had seen it, and he could only say strongly: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid have never heard the ancestors mention this matter, but even if the ancestors know about that Zhang Xuansu, there is no reason to remind him Yang Erlang, right?" Why did he suffer a loss, so he had to blame the court? ”

Emperor Xiping turned his gaze to Shen Fa again.

Shen Fa sneered at Wei Heng: "Father-in-law Wei doesn't really think that the grudge with the Five Poisons Sect is because of the three million taels of silver, right?" ”

Wei Heng said suspiciously: "Isn't it?" ”

Shen Fa: "If you don't let someone take a map of Heluoyu so that Father-in-law Wei can see clearly, where is the road pavilion?" ”

Wei Heng's brain was not as good as his, and he reacted after being stunned for a few seconds.

Emperor Xiping put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "The grievances are reconciled...... Or let's talk about that Zhang Xuansu, do you think Yang Erlang's inference is somewhat credible? ”

Shen Fan: "Your Majesty, Weichen absolutely believes in Yang Erlang's judgment. ”

Emperor Xiping smiled: "How can you see it? ”

After thinking about it, Shen Fa replied: "Your Majesty, after Weichen returned to Beijing, he has urgently checked the records about Zhang Xuansu, that guy was indeed born in the Tiande period of the Zhou and Tang Dynasties, and he is now two hundred and eight years old...... The ancestors of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, I'm afraid they can't do it, right? ”

When Emperor Xiping heard this, he couldn't help but think of the vague attitude of the ancestors of the Imperial Horse Supervisor when Yang Erlang entered Beijing.

He slowly furrowed his brows, and asked in a deep voice: "Then Yang Erlang said that Zhang Xuansu was the mastermind behind the destruction of Zhou Tang, has it been verified?" ”

Shen Fa hurriedly waved his hands: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has sent a large number of people to investigate all the cases in the Taizu period, but this matter is very old, and it may be difficult to gain anything, but it is groundless, there must be a reason, Yang Erlang reminded the court, and he is just prepared, and has no other intentions." ”

Emperor Xiping's brows slowly expanded, and after a long silence, he said: "Mainly embroidered clothes and guards, supplemented by the East Factory and the West Factory, encircle and suppress the Five Poison Sect, but don't make trouble on the table!" ”

The three of them got up in unison and waved their hands and saluted: "Weichen (slave maid) obeys the order." ”

Emperor Xiping groaned slightly, and spoke again: "Ordered the priest to draw up the edict, and enshrine Zhang Duanrui, the contemporary heavenly master of the Han Heavenly Master's Mansion of the heir of Longhu Mountain, as the protector of the country, and add a first-class Guanglu doctor!" ”

The big eunuch standing on the side was waiting to step forward to receive the order, and Shen Fa took the first step to speak: "Your Majesty, think twice!" ”

Emperor Xiping: "Huh? ”

Shen Fa organized the language and said cautiously: "Yang Erlang once said that Zhang Xuansu was because of Emperor Tiande of the Zhou and Tang Dynasties who worshiped Buddha and destroyed the Tao, so he arranged to cut off the national fortunes of the Zhou and Tang Dynasties...... However, Zen Buddhism is still passed down to this day, and incense is flourishing. ”

Emperor Xiping raised his eyebrows sharply: "You mean ......?"

Shen Fa: "This is just Weichen's speculation, and there is no empirical evidence yet, but in Weichen's humble opinion, before the situation is clear, it is better for the imperial court not to be easily involved in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism." ”

Emperor Xiping was stunned, and Long Yan said with great joy: "Zhonghe is worthy of being my son's room, very good!" ”

Shen Fa bowed and saluted: "It is the duty of a minister to share worries for the king, and he should not be praised by His Majesty." ”

Emperor Xiping pondered for a moment, cleared his thoughts, and spoke again: "Proposed purpose, enshrine the contemporary Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Zhang Duanrui as the great true person of Hongwen Guangjiao, and add a first-class Guanglu doctor!" ”

"Yang Erlang of Luting is the Marquis of Luting, hereditary replacement, and the prince and master of the first product are ......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Shen Fa, who was wrapped like a mummy in front of him, and then said: "The commander of the Imperial Embroidered Guards made Shen Fa the Kaifeng Bo, the hereditary replacement, and the second-rank hussar general!" ”

There are two rewards in front of them, and the four of His Royal Highness are still normal, even if Yang Erlang is suddenly crowned, the four of them only say that His Majesty is wise and far-sighted.

Until the reward for Shen Fa landed, the four people of His Royal Highness were shocked, including Shen Fa himself, who was directly stunned!

The Great Wei knight is extremely cautious and strict, he has seen it for more than 160 years, except for the twenty-four marquis of the founding of the country, there are only a few people who have been knighted, and they are all knighted for military merits......

Although Shen Fa was born in the Shen family of the Marquis of Jiangxia, he was only the second son of the Shen family, and the title of the Marquis of Jiangxia could not fall on his head, and it was a matter of time before another door was established.

Shen Fa came back to his senses, and he was so excited that he squeezed his palms to the end: "Weichen Shen Fa, thank Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

While thanking him in his mouth, he was still yelling in surprise: 'I know, I know, no beating is for nothing......

What is this called?

This means that everything has a response, everything has a fall, and even the beating must leave traces!

Looking at His Royal Highness's grateful young playmate, Emperor Xiping also smiled with relief, and drew a cake for him: "Get up, do things well, and be more attentive, you may not be able to disgrace the lintel in the future!" ”

Shen Fa shouted: "Your Majesty, Longen, Weichen has nothing to repay, only to do his best and die!" ”

Emperor Xiping picked up the fold again, waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down and do something, I am waiting for your good news!" ”

"Slave and maid retire!"

Wei Heng and Liu Xian waved their hands in unison and saluted, and finally turned their heads to look at Shen Fa in surprise.

Shen Fa pretended not to see the eyes of the two of them, and waited for the two to retreat without moving.

After the two of them exited the imperial study, Emperor Xiping raised his eyes and looked at him in surprise: "What's the matter?" Waiting for dinner? ”

Shen Fa smiled and waved his hands: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to start......

Emperor Xiping: "Speak! ”

Shen Fa sneered and said, "That...... Is Princess Celestia okay? ”

As soon as Emperor Xiping heard this, he became interested, closed the music in his hand and asked with a smile: "Is there a door?" ”

Shen Fan's mind was spinning rapidly, and he said in a low voice: "This matter may be the result we pre-envisioned...... There is a discrepancy! ”

The smile on Emperor Xiping's face quickly disappeared: "What is the difference?" ”

Shen Fan: "That stubborn donkey seems to have no love for the eldest princess......

Emperor Xiping's face changed, and he was about to get angry, when he heard His Royal Highness Shen Fa say: "However, according to Weichen's observation, that stubborn donkey seems to be taking the eldest princess as a sister...... Sister! ”

The anger on Emperor Xiping's face disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, they are all young, dry firewood, living in the same room, maybe when it will start!" ”

He squinted his eyes and clapped his hands happily, that treacherous appearance, where did he look like an emperor?

Shen Fa wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, and didn't expect much from his little abacus in his heart, but he didn't dare to disturb his "elegance" at this time, so he could only follow his words and say: "So, the eldest princess can't make any mistakes when she returns to the palace, Your Majesty, the stubborn donkey protects the calf, if the eldest princess returns to the palace and suffers any grievances......"

He looked at Emperor Xiping and didn't continue, but the meaning of his words was already very clear: 'You don't want that stubborn donkey to enter Beijing again, do you?' ’

"Uh......"

Emperor Xiping's face froze, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat on his forehead: "It's still Zhong and you carefully, I almost ignored this matter...... auspicious, spread the message to Changchun Palace, and I will go to Changchun Palace for dinner later. ”

The big eunuch who was standing next to him bowed down and said, "Yes." ”

Shen Fa also waved his hand and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen retires!" ”

Emperor Xiping waved his hand.

Shen Fa withdrew from the imperial study and walked a short distance on crutches when he saw Wei Heng and Liu Xian waiting for him.

"Congratulations to Uncle Shen, congratulations to Uncle Shen."

Seeing Shen Fan, Wei Hengpi stepped forward with a smile and waved his hands in a strange manner: "You have opened the precedent of our inner court knighthood!" ”

Shen Fa also responded with a smile: "Where, if my father-in-law feels unconvinced, I can go and ask Your Majesty for my life, and also give my father-in-law a chance to be knighted......"

As he spoke, he flashed the cane in his hand.

Wei Heng was stunned, and put down his hands without changing his face: "Lord Shen's kindness, the miscellaneous family has a heart, and the miscellaneous family is a slave, what do you want to do with the title?" ”

Shen Fa smiled "hehe", and accepted it when he saw it: "Then find a quiet place, let's talk about official business...... Next, we're busy! ”

……

The holy decree of rewarding Yang Ge, Shen Fa and others was quickly sent to the hands of Wang Jiangling, the first assistant of the cabinet.

He wrinkled his brow and pondered the three holy decrees, trying to guess what the inner court was messing with......

At this moment, Wang Dashi entered and saluted: "My lord, the commander of the embroidered clothes guard asked Shen Fa to see him outside." ”

"Huh?"

When Wang Jiangling heard this, he looked at the three holy decrees on the case, then raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Dashi, stroked his beard and muttered for a moment: "Please let him in." ”

Wang Dashi answered, turned around and strode away without changing his face.

Wang Jiangling pondered for a moment, and reached out to put away the three holy decrees on the desk.

Outside the door......

Shen Fa looked expressionlessly at the stocky, wooden Wang Dashi who was leading the way in front of him, as inconspicuous as a stubborn stone, and Wang Dashi, who was like two people who were handsome and high-spirited old friends back then, and his mood was a little complicated.

One of the two silently led the way in front, and the other followed silently behind, slowly passing through the long corridor until they entered the lobby of the public house, and no one said a superfluous word.

It's as if the two really don't know each other.

It wasn't until Wang Dashi bowed down and retreated that Shen Fa sighed softly in a voice that only he could hear...... Friends who talk about everything and depend on each other in life and death have become passers-by one day.

"How can Lord Shen have time to come over today......

In the hall, Wang Jiangling got up with a smile and waved his hands from afar.

Shen Fa returned the salute with a smile: "Lord Zhongtang has been tortured by the officials!" ”

After the two of them sat down, Shen Fa got straight to the point and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Zhongtang, the next official is here to represent Yang Erlang of the Road Pavilion to convey a word to the lord!" ”

Wang Jiangling was surprised "oh", stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although this official and Lu Tinghou have been friends for a long time, they have never met, what does Lu Tinghou have to teach this official?" ”

Shen Fan raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile on his face: "But there are some changes, the lower official once told Yang Erlang about the 'one whip method' and 'test method' that Lord Zhongtang is implementing, Yang Erlang listened to it, and asked the official to express some suggestions to the adult, he repeatedly emphasized that this is just his suggestion of a martial artist, the pros and cons, and ask Lord Zhongtang to decide personally." ”

Wang Jiangling stretched out his hand: "Lord Shen, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Shen Fa thought for a while and said: "Yang Erlang said: 'Things have to be done, but don't be too impatient, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you have to take it slowly, don't force them to jump over the wall in a wave'." ”

Wang Jiangling's hand stroked his beard for a moment, and after a few breaths, he suddenly smiled again: "Original words? ”

Shen Fa waved his hand and saluted: "Please don't be surprised by Lord Zhongtang, Erlang is bold and rough by nature, free and uninhibited, if there is any offense, I will apologize to Lord Zhongtang on behalf of Erlang." ”

"Lord Shen is too polite, Lu Tinghou is jealous and hateful, upright, this official has always longed for it, how can he blame it."

Wang Jiangling shook his head and said slowly with a smile: "This official is just a little surprised, this is not quite like what Lu Tinghou would say...... Is the situation serious? ”

Shen Fa's heart was relieved when he heard this, and he secretly talked to a smart person: "It's really a bit serious, but fortunately, we still have time." ”

Wang Jiangling groaned for a moment and said, "Is it convenient to talk about it in detail?" ”

Shen Fa shook his head slightly: "Please also ask Lord Zhongtang to understand, this matter is not very convenient to publicize." ”

Wang Jiangling stopped asking, and bowed his head: "This official knows, and he will carefully consider it later, and in the future, if Lord Shen and Lu Tinghou need to coordinate and cooperate with this official, just come to find this official." ”

Shen Fa waved his hand again and saluted: "Lord Zhongtang has a lot of opportunities, there are some undercurrents and turmoil, don't dare to worry about Lord Zhongtang, just leave it to us vulgar martial artists to solve it!" ”

Wang Jiangling said happily: "With one heart and one mind, internal and external efforts, why worry about the family and the country!" ”
