The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

In front of the imperial study room.Zhang Fan stood here but did not move.It wasn't that he was waiting for Long Qing's permission to stand still here.As soon as he got to the door just now.The little eunuch guarding the gate had already signaled to him.Long Qing said it.If Zhang Fan came, he could go in directly without further notification.

The reason why Zhang Fan stood here and did not move for a long time was because.He hadn't walked to the gate of the imperial study just now.Only when you can see it.Zhang Fan, who was far away, could vaguely hear Long Qing's laughter coming from the imperial study.And with the movement of Zhang Fan's footsteps.The distance between him and the Imperial Study Room is getting closer and closer.And Long Qing's laughter coming from the room was getting louder and louder.

I got Zhang Fan who indicated that he could go in at any time.At this moment, I don't know what to do.Hearing Long Qing's laughter.Although Zhang Fan didn't know what it was because of.But he can be sure.Long Qing must be very, very happy.After all, the happy emotion in that laughter just reached his ears without hiding it.What Zhang Fan hesitated was.He didn't know why Long Qing was happy about it.It's good to have a speech after he goes in.According to a scene or something.After all, he also understands the truth that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.Even Zhang Fan doesn't expect to be able to rely on this to get promoted and make a fortune.But superficial efforts also have to be done.After all, he was facing the emperor who had the power of life and death.

But at this moment, Zhang Fan really couldn't think of it.What exactly was Long Qing happy about?Are you happy that Zhang Fan came back this time and brought him a lot of money?This is quite possible.After all, it was Longqing's temperament.This is not something unimaginable.

Or Long Qing was happy that Zhang Fan had retrieved the Chuan Guo Yuxi this time and dedicated it to him.This is probably somewhat unlikely.After all, is that square seal the legendary Jade Seal of Chuanguo?There is no conclusion yet.Although the civil and military ministers on the spot did exactly what Zhang Fan wanted.No one could find evidence that Fang Yuxi was a fake.But no final conclusion has been made yet.It's hard to say anything.That's why Long Qing was so happy about this matter.This is unlikely.

Then there is only one thing left.The arrival of two Portuguese envoys, Richard and Joanna, and the news they brought.But now although it shows that Ting has already made a plan.But haven't told them yet.It's also something that hasn't been decided yet.the most important is.Although it has been determined that many benefits can be obtained from them.But what exactly is good.No one knows yet.

So it seems.Long Qing was laughing so heartily now.It must be for the money.But Zhang Fan had doubts again.After all, Long Qing was an imperial emperor with a vast territory.There is no need to succeed in this virtue for money.

After much deliberation, Zhang Fan still had no clue.He only looked suspiciously at the little eunuch guarding the door of the imperial study.The little eunuch saw that it was Zhang Fan, a minister favored by Long Qing who was doing well and was looking at him.He hurriedly put on a "smiling" face and looked at Zhang Fan.It's just that Zhang Fan saw his smiling face.Just nauseated.

Not long after.The little eunuch also noticed Zhang Fan's puzzled expression.It didn't take long after entering the palace to be transferred to the place closest to the emperor at such a young age.Either he is well connected in the palace.Or it's really very clever.And this little eunuch belongs to the latter kind of people.Seeing Zhang Fan's expression.As soon as he thought about it, he understood what Zhang Fan meant.only.He also didn't know what happened to Long Qing today.Why are you so happy.Put on a helpless and regretful face.The little eunuch shook his head at Zhang Fan.Said that he did not know.

I don't know even if I see him.Zhang Fan stopped guessing.He said loudly outside the door: "My humble minister, Zhang Fan, came here to see His Majesty by order."

"It's Zhang Aiqing. Come in quickly." Long Qing heard Zhang Fan's voice.Quickly ordered.There is still a joyful expression in the words.

Zhang Fan listened.He pushed open the door and walked in.In the royal study.Long Qing did not sit on the throne that he had always sat on in the past.Instead, wandering around in the imperial study.There is always a happy expression on his face.No, there will be two laughs.But it has become much smaller because of Zhang Fan's arrival.

"My humble minister Zhang Fan greets His Majesty." Zhang Fan came to Long Qing.Saying goodbye.

"Get up quickly. Get up quickly." Long Qing said quickly.The hand also made a false gesture.Wait until Zhang Fan stands up.Long Qing turned his head and said to the little eunuch outside the door. "Close the door. Back off."

"Yes." The little eunuch replied.Then he closed the door of the royal study and left.

Zhang Fan saw that he and Long Qing were the only ones in the room.He was no longer as rigid as he was in the main hall just now.Relax a little.Zhang Fan said to Long Qing: "Your Majesty. When I came here just now, I heard His Majesty's Long Yan joyful on the road. Laughter came out. I don't know why Your Majesty is so happy." Zhang Fan first asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Hehe. Didn't Aiqing see it in the court hall before?" Long Qing said. "What Aiqing did just now is really good. It's been a long time since I saw Gao Gong so deflated. I remember the last time he looked like this. He was impeached by Xu Jie and went home within a few days. "

"Hehe..." Zhang Fan didn't know what to say at this time.I had to smile like this.He really didn't think of it.Long Qing was actually so happy about this matter.anyway.Whether it is Xu Jie or Gao Gong.Long Qing didn't show any disgust.Never showed any liking.Unexpectedly, Gao Gong was deflated a little by himself.Long Qing would be so happy.

"But Aiqing. I also have something to ask you here." Long Qing suddenly changed his appearance.Said to Zhang Fan quite seriously. "The idea of ​​making a high arch. You have already thought about it before. Or it was just a temporary idea in the court room. The method you came up with."

"Temporary. Weichen didn't think about this matter before. It was just thought of temporarily." Zhang Fan said.In fact, just now he asked Gao Gong to explain the idea of ​​"karma".Before he said it, he never thought of using this method to deflate Gao Gong.Just wait until he finds out.I also don't think it's a big deal.Giving Gao Gong a small deflation also looks good.But Zhang Fan didn't intend to tell the truth.After all, Long Qing was in high spirits right now.He will not spoil the scenery at this time.

"Yes. This is the so-called 'a flash of inspiration'." Long Qing nodded and said. "Sometimes. A flash of inspiration in the court is more magical than the effect of planning in private for many days."

"Your Majesty, thank you." Zhang Fan said very modestly.

"That's right. Since Aiqing has come back, and she has completed the tasks I entrusted to you so well. Then I have to fulfill my promise." Long Qing said. "I told you before you went out to patrol the south of the Yangtze River. The money you confiscated this time. Forty percent of it will be rewarded to you."

After Zhang Fan listened to Long Qing's words.I don't know why.Suddenly said: "This...Your Majesty. In fact, I didn't do anything. Is it a bit..."

"Oh. You must accept this money." Long Qing said to Zhang Fan in an unquestionable tone. "This is what I said to you personally before. I am the king of a country. When I speak and do things, I will do what I say. Could it be that Aiqing wants to make me go back and forth."

"This... How dare a humble minister." Zhang Fan saw that Long Qing had knocked off such a big hat.There is no reason to be ignorant.Hurry up and speak. "Then I will once again thank Your Majesty for the reward."

"Is that right?" Seeing Zhang Fan, Long Qing agreed.Immediately, a happy face appeared again.

Zhang Fan saw Long Qing's change.I can't help but sigh in my heart.This made the emperor's moodiness.Usually he just heard it.and have not seen.Now he really saw it.The speed of this emotional change is really overwhelming.

But after Zhang Fan calmed down.I also calculated an account in my heart.This time he confiscated a total of more than 100 million taels of silver.Then his four achievements will be nearly 60 million taels.This number shocked even Zhang Fan who didn't value money too much.This is also a bit too much.Zhang Fan felt it in his heart.From now on, it would be better to focus on anti-corruption work all day long.It can win a good reputation and come back.There can also be a large amount of money in the account.It's faster than grabbing money.

"I asked you to come here this time. There are two things." Long Qing continued. "One is to see Aiqing. After all, this trip to the south of the Yangtze River. I thought it was not very dangerous. But I didn't expect so many things to happen there. I also put Aiqing in danger many times. "

"Thanks to Your Majesty's great love. I am grateful in my heart." Zhang Fan said. "My minister has returned safely. I must also thank Your Majesty. If His Majesty hadn't made a decisive decision and ordered General Qi to send troops to Jiangnan, this minister would be in real trouble."

"Hmph. It's not that Gao Gong. Believe it or not. Especially if he doesn't believe your words. It almost caused a catastrophe." Long Qing said dissatisfied. "Fortunately, Feng Bao's people caught a pirate. Otherwise, I don't know how long this matter will be delayed."

After listening to Long Qing's words.Only then did Zhang Fan understand.It turned out that Long Qing was very angry about this incident.

"Don't talk about those annoying things." Long Qing waved his hand.Then he showed a happy face.Said to Zhang Fan rather mysteriously. "Aiqing. I asked you to come here today. I have one thing to discuss with you, Aiqing."

Zhang Fan looked at Long Qing's mysterious face.Guess again.
