At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 382 Yang Guang's Praise

Sensing that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, a veteran official like Fan Zigai naturally became more cautious. Old Fan, whose official robe was half-wet by the misty autumn rain, walked tremblingly to the throne and knelt down, crying. Zongheng, and weeping with emotion: "The old minister Fan Zigai was ordered by His Highness the King of Yue to wait here for His Majesty, Your Majesty, I have never seen you again... ahh!"

Fan Zigai burst into tears as he spoke, tears streaming down his cheeks, his voice shaking the beams of the house, this kind of anger is no one else!

All the bigwigs in the officialdom present couldn't help cursing secretly in their hearts: "Bah, old fox, shameless!"

Gao Bufan was also dumbfounded, and couldn't help but conjure up two large characters in his mind - Niu Bi.At this moment, he finally understood why Fan Zigai refused to put on his coir raincoat when he was waiting at the pier. Sure enough, Jiang was still old and hot.

Gao Bufan didn't have Fan Zigai's ability to cry when he said he wanted to cry, and he didn't have such an invulnerable face. Fortunately, he was smart enough, and immediately knelt down behind Fan Zigai without a sound, lowered his head and rubbed his face. Nose, that movement is a bit like wiping tears.

Yang Qingruo knelt next to Gao Bufan, so she could see this guy's little movements clearly, he was angry and funny at times.

Seeing Fan Zigai's appearance, Yang Guang, who was sitting on the throne, his gloomy face was slightly moved, and asked, "Why did Master Fan say that?"

Fan Zigai wiped his tears and said, "Yang Xuangan rebelled suddenly in Liyang. He gathered 200,000 people in a huge way, besieged the Eastern Capital, and together with the internal thieves Hu Sizheng and Han Shi'e, almost broke through the Hui'an Gate. If it wasn't for the command of His Royal Highness If it is determined, Gao Lang will fight bravely and crush the conspiracy of the rebels. I am afraid that Luoyang has already been breached. The old minister is entrusted by the emperor to assist His Royal Highness King Yue to stay in the eastern capital. If the east is lost, what face will the old minister have to see the emperor again Only Heng Jian can die as an apology, and naturally he will never see you, the Emperor again."

Empress Xiao couldn't help but her eyes turned red when she heard the words: "Your Majesty, Lord Fan is so loyal and loyal, which really touches my concubine. If all the ministers in the court are like Lord Fan, why worry that my country will not have long-term peace and stability."

Yang Guang glanced coldly at all the ministers present, then nodded and said in a deep voice: "What the queen said is true, Fan Aiqing is utterly loyal, she is a great loyal minister, she has worked hard and made great achievements, quickly get over her body!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fan Zigai kowtowed to thank him, and then he stood up tremblingly, his tears also stopped, just like a faucet, you can turn it on when you want to, and turn it off when you want to.

Empress Xiao said pitifully: "Master Fan is getting old, I'm afraid he might catch a cold easily if he is wet, the emperor might as well allow Mr. Fan to go down and change into clean clothes before coming to see you."

"Well, come here, take Mr. Fan down to change clothes." Yang Guang also followed suit, and immediately ordered the eunuch to lead Fan Zigai down to change clothes.

Fan Zigai quickly thanked him, but declined politely: "The old minister thanked the emperor and empress for their sympathy, but this old minister's bones are still strong, and he can stand it, so there is no need to change clothes."

In fact, the autumn rain outside was just misty rain, and Fan Zigai's official robe was only a little wet, and he was dressed warmly inside. This old fox had calculated it just right.

"Fan Aiqing is always strong and strong. It is the blessing of the country and mine. Come and give Fan Aiqing a seat." Yang Guang is good at literature and martial arts, so he doesn't like courtiers who are too weak. This shows that Fan Zigai is an old fox. Indeed, it has confirmed Yang Guang's veins.

After Fan Zigai declined, he took his seat on the lower left side of the throne happily. All the princes of the court were standing, and only he, Lao Fan, was lucky enough to be given the seat. This honor was the only one, which made the several court dignitaries very appreciative taste.

But Yang Guang obviously wanted this kind of effect, he wanted to let the courtiers below know that only by doing things loyally can he gain his favor, and whoever has a different heart will end up like Yang Xuangan.

Yang Guang greeted Fan Zigai who was seated, and then his eyes fell on Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo, with a rare smile on his face and said: "Miss Qing, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Qingruo stood up gracefully, and her voice, which was originally as pleasant as the sounds of nature, changed into a thick alto, obviously changing her voice on purpose.

Empress Xiao waved her hands with a smile and said, "Miss Qing, come to Ai's house."

Yang Qingruo saluted with blessings, and walked lightly with lotus steps to stand beside Empress Xiao, so only Gao Bufan and the magistrate of Linqing were left kneeling there.

The county magistrate of Linqing is called Cui Wu, he is from the Cui clan of Qinghe, he is Cui Hu's elder brother, and now he is the county magistrate in Linqing County. As a local official, he naturally has to come to see the emperor. Supply all food and supplies for the royal fleet.

Yang Guang's fleet is mighty and tens of thousands of people, and the daily consumption of supplies is not ordinary, all of which are supplied by the states and counties along the way. In order to meet the needs of the fleet, local officials have to increase the exploitation of local people, so The vast fleet is bound to be full of chicken feathers, mourning is everywhere, and the common people suffer terribly.

Yang Guang looked at Gao Bufan condescendingly for a moment, feeling a little complicated in his heart. He doesn't like courtiers who are too smart, and Gao Bufan is obviously one of them. Since the last time he was in Linshuo Palace, Gao Bufan took the opportunity of offering horses from Harry's department After defeating Yu Wenhua and the First Army, Yang Guang classified Gao Bufan as a restless "smart" courtier, so he withdrew the rewards originally given to Gao Bufan.

However, Gao Bufan did an amazing performance this time. First, he thwarted Yang Xuangan's plot to occupy Ji County, and then he saved the King of Yue and Fan Zigai.

So Yang Guang calmed down and said: "Gao Changqing, get up, you have done a good job, and you are also a great loyal minister, you should be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Bufan took advantage of the situation and stood up. He scanned the surroundings casually. The first thing he saw was the envious and jealous eyes of Yu Wenhua and that guy, followed by the glint in the eyes of Li Min and Li Hun's uncle and nephew. Shady prey.

Gao Bufan was already handsome, but when he stood up, he looked tall and straight, handsome and handsome, especially his eyes, which were as clear as streams and as bright as stars, made a deep impression on him at first sight, and made him feel good about him.

Empress Xiao couldn't help but her eyes lit up, she smiled lightly and said, "At first glance, it's almost as good as when you were young, Your Majesty."

Yang Qingruo glanced at Gao Bufan with her beautiful eyes, and there was a hint of worry in her heart. Fortunately, Yang Guang looked natural, nodded and said: "It is true that I have the demeanor of my youth, Gao Changqing, you have made a great contribution this time. You will not treat the heroes badly, I have approved the King Yue's memorial, and you will be the general of Zhuojun Yingyanglang from now on."

With Yang Guang's words, Gao Bufan's position as Zhuojun Ying Yanglang was officially confirmed.Gao Bufan had no choice but to kneel down again to thank him, Yang Guang raised his hand and said: "Gao Lang will be flat, as long as you work hard for me in the future, I don't care about being a high-ranking official and rich salary. It's not difficult."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present couldn't help being terrified, and Yang Qingruo also showed joy in his eyes. This is a very high compliment, and it comes from the mouth of the emperor, so its meaning is extraordinary.

Yu Wenhuaji was so jealous that he was going crazy. This kid Gao Bufan only entered the officialdom last year. In just one year, he was promoted to four ranks. Now he is only two ranks lower than his servant Shaoqing. He is so lucky. And with the emperor's personal praise, all the blind people know that this kid is going to be lucky and has a bright future.

Li Min and Li Hun's uncle and nephew looked gloomy. At first they sent dead soldiers to assassinate Gao Bufan, but they didn't take it seriously afterwards. Now that Gao Bufan was promoted like a rocket, they finally started to get a little nervous. They were also afraid of Gao Bufan's revenge. , with Gao Bufan's current rising momentum, it is very likely that he will become a public minister in the future. In addition, this son is not clear with Fei Yuwei's Qing girl, and has a close relationship with the King of Yue. Once the King of Yue sits on the dragon chair in the future, Will there be good fruits from their uncles and nephews?

Therefore, at this time, Li Hun and Li Min's uncle and nephew were both jealous and hated, hated and feared, but unfortunately Gao Bufan's martial arts were insanely high, and now he even got an official position, so no matter whether it was Minglai or playing tricks, it was very difficult to get another Gao Bufan can be dealt with, in other words, Gao Bufan has become a climate, and has become the confidant of their Li Clan.

Li Yuan's mood at the moment is also complicated. At the beginning, he had the idea of ​​marrying his concubine daughter to Gao Bufan, but when he saw that Yang Guang didn't seem to like Gao Bufan very much, he dismissed the idea. In just one year, he has risen again, from the seventh-rank herd supervisor to the fifth-rank general Ying Yanglang, which is really jaw-dropping.

Ugh!
Li Yuan regretted it a bit, but there is no medicine for regret in this world, Gao Bufan might look down on Li Yuan's concubine daughter even more, not only the marriage between Shimin and the eldest grandson Wugou would be affected. It is a great threat, because with Gao Bufan's achievements today, Shimin will be judged against him, and it is conceivable how the eldest grandson's family will choose.
