Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 204 The lingering fear

The emperor's eyes stayed on Lin Zisu's face for a moment, and he said with a half-smile: "You girl, it's not a good thing to be too smart."

When Lin Zisu saw that the emperor saw through her perfunctory behavior, she immediately stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "My daughter is so smart, Your Majesty, please don't take offense."

The emperor's mood improved instantly, and he continued what he had just said, saying: "Fan Zhen has two sermons, one is about the way of saints, and the other is about concubines. If I let him finish, I'm afraid someone will invite me tomorrow.

I made Xiaoba my reserve."

After listening to the emperor's explanation, combined with what Fan Zhen said today, Lin Zisu understood the emperor's concerns.

Before she had time to think about it, the emperor said it unceremoniously: "The people in the cabinet have been surrounding me to persuade me, but when they saw that it had no effect, they used Fan Zhen to persuade me. If they succeed today,

My wish is that something might happen in the future, but I don’t have time to waste time with them every day!”

Lin Zisu sighed secretly, it seemed that the emperor was still worried about the Yingzong rebellion.

Yingzong was only five years old when he succeeded to the throne. Because of his young age, he had been losing power. Without the emperor's deterrence, the ministers fought against each other, which led to the chaos in the world.

Now that the emperor is here, he would rather leave the throne empty than establish a young prince.

Even though Xie Yao made many mistakes while supervising the country in the past few days, the emperor still wanted to give Xie Yao a chance.

However, as Xie Hao grows up, Xie Yao's opportunities will become less and less. When the emperor cannot withstand the pressure of public opinion, he will naturally reconsider.

Lin Zisu and Fan Zhen had only been together for half an hour, so naturally they couldn't know Fan Zhen's nature.

Fan Qi agreed very much with his father's statement and nodded happily.

At this time, he had already hurried out of the palace gate and returned to his house in Nancheng.

Just like I mentioned Xie Xi first, then I mentioned Fan Zhen for no reason.

Jiangnan has always been rich and prosperous, and it is an extremely easy place to achieve political success. The current ministers in the court all have the experience of serving as officials in Jiangnan.

The person who could win over two ministers of the court was not a simple person.

The emperor became interested and asked with a smile: "Then I would like to know, what does your father think of Prince Dun?"

However, in this life, such a person appeared without any warning, and I heard that he was a highly regarded figure by both the government and the public.

According to the official positions of Dayan, the chief envoy's participation in politics is from the third rank, which is second only to the chief envoy and is equivalent to the deputy position of the chief envoy.

Lin Zisu was immediately stunned, she did not expect that the emperor would admire Fan Zhen so highly.

After he returned home, he immediately called his eldest son Fan Qi into the study.

Fan Zhen immediately raised his head and laughed until he couldn't breathe. Then he stopped laughing and said: "It seems that this trip to the capital is a good bet for my father. Tell the truth. When you were in Dongyang Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River,

When you were appointed, your father called you back, have you ever resented your father?"

"Don't dare? Then it seems there is still resentment!"

"Today I was chatting with Ye Quan and Ye Shangshu. Ye Shangshu asked about your future, so I said some personal words to him. Ye Shangshu values ​​you very much. If there is no big problem, in a few days, the court will

You will be allowed to participate in politics as the chief envoy to Jiangnan outside the meeting, so you should prepare yourself first."

While the emperor was speaking, Fan Zhen, the wise man he spoke of, had just had a conversation with Ye Quan, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

The emperor also felt that it was inappropriate for him to say these words, so he immediately changed the subject and said: "Girl Su, what kind of person do you think Fan Zhen is?"

"In the past, there were wealthy families in the court, such as the Lu family and the Tantai family. Our Fan family has been in decline for many years. We don't have much leverage in cooperating with them. But it would be even more inappropriate to take their position."

This was the first time Lin Zisu heard of Fan Zhen's name. In her previous life, she had never met Fan Zhen.

Fan Zhen sighed and said: "Back then, you were young and vigorous, and your father was really worried about it, so it was because of your mother's death that I called you back."

The emperor still has illusions about Xie Yao, so he shouldn't say anything more. Lin Zisu said: "I don't know how to govern the country, but I occasionally heard from my father that the second prince is unparalleled in talent and wants to govern the country."

His views must also be wise."

As we all know, Qian Minzhong and Ye Quan have never been the same person. They have different paths, but they have the same purpose, and they both want to try their best to win over Fan Zhen.

"Bing Qing, you have been studying at home these days. What is the difference between the books in Jingzhong and the books in Hezhong?"

"The river is close to the mountains and forests, the more you study, the more you look forward to the joy of clouds and water; the capital is close to the emperor, the more you study, the more you look forward to becoming a marquis and worshiping the prime minister."

Hearing what the emperor said, Lin Zisu showed a hint of blush on her face and said, "My lord!"

The emperor laughed heartily and said: "A journey can tell a horse's strength, and time can tell a person's heart. Although Xiao Si'er is a mess, he is a good boy just like you. I believe that given time, he will treat you well."

Although it was only the third residence, Fan Zhen brought his eldest son to Beijing, and the rest of his family members were still in their hometown in Hezhong. The small courtyard was enough for the father and son to live.

"Lin Yuanzhi is still telling you this?"

The emperor looked calm and said: "Girl Su, please remember that there are only two and a half smart people in the court, and this Fan Zhen is one of them."

Fan Qi, nicknamed Bingqing, is thirty-eight years old this year, and will soon reach the age of "forty without confusion". His years of academic experience make him look a little dull.

Lin Zisu felt that the emperor was a little weird today, and his words often had mismatched words.

The emperor asked this question, and she looked at him, trying to find the answer she wanted from his expression.

This is the mansion given to Fan Zhen by the emperor after he entered the capital.

With this kind of experience, if you get promoted further, you will become a feudal official.

Lin Zisu looked embarrassed and said: "My father's evaluation of him, I think you don't need to tell me, your majesty also knows about it."

Hearing that it was sent to Jiangnan, Fan Qi's face flashed with joy and he said, "Son, thank you very much for your father's recommendation."

"Now that the Zhang family has arrived in the capital, the Tantai family has completely collapsed, and the court is turbulent. Real men move from time to time, and you must not miss this opportunity. You have worked hard over the years. For the sake of future generations, it is time for us, father and son, to come out.

Do something."

Judging from the attitude of the cabinet just now, not only did Qian Minzhong respect Fan Zhen very much, Ye Quan also always showed a close attitude.

"The father is far-sighted and plans everything for his son. The son dare not resent him."

Fan Qi was secretly happy, and then heard his father say: "When you go to Jiangnan, there is a person who you must recommend and use after he takes office."

"I wonder who father is talking about?"

Fan Qi asked respectfully.

"Qingyang Magistrate Bi Suinan."
