Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Nine Today is very special
What happened on the street soon reached the mansion. One of the two knocked down bearers went back to spread the news, and the other went back to the mansion to spread the news.
"What? That sedan was robbed on the street outside?" Fang Yingwu was very surprised by this. What kind of problem is this?
Who was so full that he ran outside the mansion and kidnapped a prostitute? Did he want to use this to attack him as an imperial envoy?
But don’t be ridiculous. How could this be a blow? No one with any intelligence would think that they would be hit by this kind of thing. This is not the time of Taizu and Taizong, who were simple and honest.
At most, he would be impeached and then the court would issue a few mild accusations. Besides, he wouldn't be caught in the palace, so it wouldn't even be considered a scandal.
Fang Yingwu thought about it and could only guess: "Perhaps Mrs. Xue has offended someone before and was retaliated against? This has nothing to do with us. Let's leave her alone for now and wait until we hear the news.
.”
After that, the handyman at the door came to report again: "There is someone outside the door who claims to be under the order of the Nanjing Ministry of War and wants to see Mr. Fang."
Fang Yingwu was very confused. The Nanjing Ministry of War had nothing to do with him as the imperial envoy in charge of food. Why did they send people to find him? Weird things happened every year, and there were so many today. Why did the strange things happen one after another?
I thought so, but Fang Yingwu still had to order: "Bring it up!"
At this time, Fang Yingwu did not show the formal etiquette of receiving guests, and was still reading and waiting by the lake. Not long after, he saw the handyman leading a sergeant in a fat red coat walking over.
The sergeant bowed to the imperial envoy, then stood up and said: "The young one is Nanjing Yulin vanguard Baihu Chen..."
Fang Yingwu was very surprised and asked: "How can a Baihu, who is also a sixth-rank military minister of the imperial court, be dressed so poorly? He is just like a sergeant, and he doesn't even wear official uniforms?"
The sergeant quickly replied: "Master Imperial Envoy, please listen to what I have said. The young man is Lin Asan, a subordinate of Mr. Chen, a member of the Nanjing Yulin Vanguard Baihu."
"..." Fang Yingwu was a little embarrassed and changed the subject: "It must be Chen Baihu who sent you here to find me. I wonder what you are doing?"
Lin Asan reported: "Chen Baihu was appointed as the flag officer by the Ministry of War of Nandu, and was ordered to escort the king's flag to Mr. Fang. He will arrive in about two or three days, so he sent a small number to inform him first."
The king's order flag? Fang Yingwu didn't feel excited when he heard this unusually lofty word. He smiled at his entourage relaxedly and said: "Weird things happen every year, and today there are so many... Actually even the king's order flag is missing."
The cards are about to be delivered to my hand, who among you is willing to believe it?"
The accompanying imperial envoys laughed together and said, "Whether it is true or not, it is always a good sign. It indicates that Mr. Fang will open a government office in the future and serve as a feudal official!"
Fang Yingwu laughed helpfully, turned to Lin Asan and scolded: "You should be more professional when you are liars! What are you saying that is not good, do you have to talk about Wang Mingqipai?
Do you know that according to the rules of the imperial court, who can be given the King's Order Flag and Plaque? I am just an imperial envoy in charge of Su Song's money and food affairs, where did the King's Order Flag and Plaque come from?"
Then he ordered the servant: "People are coming from the left and right, kidnap this liar and take him to the local government office!"
Lin Asan's forehead was sweating in a hurry, and he hurriedly took out a diploma from the mezzanine and shouted: "The imperial envoy is aware of this! This is a survey from the Ministry of War, which is enough to confirm my identity!"
Fang Yingwu took the Kanhe and looked through it. He sneered and said, "It's quite similar. It's enough to look fake."
Lin Asan didn't know how to explain it, so she could only repeat: "Young man is definitely not a liar! The king's flag is really on the way, and it will arrive in two or three days!"
Fang Yingwu was bored. He had the leisure to quarrel with the liar, and responded humorously: "You should say that I was reassigned as the Inspector of the Eight Prefectures. The emperor gave Shang Fang the sword, which can be killed first and then played - isn't that the case in the play?
Is this how you act?"
After that, the Imperial Envoy Fang remembered something. He ordered the servants: "Just drive this liar out of the mansion. There is no need to send him to the Yamen. Otherwise, I'm afraid that my joke will be spread in vain, and others will think that I want to give you Fang's sword."
Crazy thoughts."
After receiving the order, the handymen used all their strength to drag Lin Asan, who was shouting and screaming, towards the gate of the mansion, and then threw her out directly from the gate.
There are so many scammers these days. Fang Yingwu was about to say something about the unpopularity of the people around him when he saw a clerk coming to report: "The clerk over at the express delivery shop has sent an official document!"
Fang Yingwu's heart suddenly moved at this. Could it be that the thunder and dew that he had been longing for for a long time had arrived? Whether it was thunder or rain and dew, he had to see it to know.
Unable to restrain himself, Fang Yingwu hurried to the vestibule, took the official document from the delivery sergeant, and eagerly opened it to read.
As a person who has been in the officialdom for several years, Imperial Envoy Fang Da had a very experienced intuition and skipped the first four and six paragraphs and went directly to the last few paragraphs. However, he saw at the end that it read: Imperial Envoy Supervisor Su Song Qianliang Official Affairs Fang Yingwu
, do things cheaply!
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and scream, and finally he heard the sentence "do it when it's cheap"! With this sentence, he can make decisions on his own and issue orders to the local government in many matters openly without going through a petition.
, that’s why it’s called “acting cheaply”!
Without this sentence, the imperial envoy is just a symbol; with this sentence, the imperial envoy is the real imperial envoy!
Huh? When Fang Yingwu re-read the official document with great joy, he found that there was another sentence at the end, but because he was just happy, he didn't read further.
Fang Yingwu glanced casually out of the corner of his eye and saw this sentence: "Give the king a flag and send it to the Nanjing Ministry of War nearby."
King’s flag?
Immediately, Fang Yingwu's eyes were split and his hair stood on end. He didn't know whether he was excited or frightened. He kept muttering to himself: "The king's flag? This is really unscientific."
He knew that although the emperor often had some convulsions, he didn't expect that he would run into it this time. This was not a convulsion, it was just a lottery! He just wanted to beg for an easy move, but in the end he even gave him a set of royal flags!
Suddenly trembling, Imperial Envoy Fang Da came to his senses and shouted to the servant: "Hurry! Go out and find Lin Asan!"
It turns out that Lin Asan is not a liar, but a real flag officer and soldier!
When the king ordered a flag to be given to a minister, there would be a flag officer accompanying it and assigned it to the minister. As the name suggests, you can tell from the name what the flag officer does.
Of course, with the development of the times, the functions of flag officers have gradually become richer. While retaining their original functions, they have evolved into the role of the imperial minister as the leader of the personal soldiers, similar to that of a Chinese military officer.
So Fang Yingwu realized at this moment that the Chen Yan of the Hundred Households that Lin Asan mentioned was probably the flag official assigned to him this time! But Lin Asan was kicked out by himself as a liar...
Stunned by the sudden happiness, Fang Yingwu seemed to be floating in the clouds. Those with royal flags were all governors, so what does it matter if he got it? It happened that Jiangnan did not appoint a governor minister at the moment. Does it mean that
Can you imitate the governor's routine?
This feeling was really unreal, so Fang Yingwu took the imperial edict in his hand and read it over and over again, making sure again and again that he was not seeing it or dreaming.
Fang Yingwu also remembered that the royal flag kept in the Nanjing Ministry of War was specially given to the governor of Jiangnan, and that his cheap grandfather Wang Shu had also used it.
In the 14th year of Chenghua's reign, he passed by Suzhou Prefecture and stayed at the governor's residence. Out of curiosity, he secretly took out the flag of the king's order and admired it. At that time, he never thought that six years later, the flag of the king's order would also be given to the emperor.
Gave it to myself... As the saying goes, things have changed and people have changed, which is sad.
Fang Yingwu read this imperial letter alone. No one else, including the courier, knew the content. He only saw the imperial envoy holding the official document, with an unusually rich and changeable expression, sometimes giggling and sometimes confused...
.
This made everyone confused and curious. But the edict was for Fang Yingwu, and they couldn't read it without permission.
A full quarter of an hour passed before Fang Yingwu gradually digested the impact of the Wang Ming flag and returned to his normal calm appearance.
Seeing the crowd around him, Fang Yingwu suddenly smiled, and instead of announcing it, he put the edict into his arms.
He decided to keep this secret for the time being. There was no need to let everyone know about the Wang Ming flag. If he proudly announced at this time, "I want everyone in the house to know that I have stolen the Wang Ming flag," then his life would be terrible.
