After the princes and princesses drove away, the atmosphere in the audience suddenly relaxed a lot.
Zhai Zhanpeng hurried to Fan Boyian's side and whispered.
Then he looked at Lu Fang with extremely surprised and complicated expressions.
In fact, since Liang Xu said that Lu Fang was the one who brought the flag back immediately after Fan Boyian, he knew that it was Lu Fang who was caught in the yellow grass.
Because the Suzaku flag in the yellow grass was the second flag discovered.
But now, he already knew from Fan Boyian's mouth what time Lu Fang would come back, and he had a conclusion in his mind.
Never would he have thought that Lu Fang was the one who made both him and Wang Yi'an blind in Huangcaodang.
But aren’t you convinced?
Zhai Zhanpeng only felt bitter in his heart.
Because he also heard Fan Boyian tell how he was defeated by Lu Fang with one move.
This Lu Fang is truly a genius.
And he also knew that Lu Fang really held back when he went against his incompetent brother, Yin Yutang and others.
Compared to what he did by cutting off the legs of Xue Liangce's cousin, Lu Fang was undoubtedly much more generous.
Although he certainly wouldn't dare to cut off the legs of noble disciples like himself, but if he strikes a little harder in a fight, who can say anything?
"well……"
Seeing Lu Fang, Su Yu, Ran Licheng and Shi Xiaotian walking towards the outside of the garden, Zhai Zhanpeng sighed, looked away, and said to Fan Bo Lian: "It seems that you are planning to accept that favor?"
Fan Bolian raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "With such a talented person, I can't find any reason to continue to oppose him. Moreover, His Royal Highness just praised him for his unparalleled civil and military skills."
Zhai Zhanpeng was stunned for a moment, and then his face became even bitterer.
What others want, he also wants.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's status in Dayu is almost too solid to be shaken. To be evaluated like this by him not only means that Lu Fang will have great achievements in the future.
It is also a talisman of possession.
Anyone who wants to cause trouble for Lu Fang must consider whether His Highness the Crown Prince will be angry because of this.
A group of nobles, powerful ministers and disciples gathered in groups, some returned to the Yamen, and some returned to the government.
The story that Lu Fang Huang Cao Dang secretly attacked Chen Cang and defeated Fan Boyian with one move is spreading more and more widely.
This brings some admiration and hatred points to Lu Fang.
He also knew in his heart that with his performance in the spring hunt and Liang Xu's appreciation, those honorable men should not come to trouble him again.
After all, there was no big grudge to begin with. It was just a matter of face for the juniors.
As long as they don't really embarrass the families behind them, it's actually harmless.
On the way out of Nanxuan Garden, Shi Xiaotian showed a strong affinity to Lu Fang and formally invited Lu Fang to visit their Xining Houfu.
Lu Fang had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.
Then he took out Zhang Qianliang's banknote from his wallet and handed it to Shi Xiaotian and said: "I told the veterans of the Marquis Mansion during the spring hunt that if I can win, I will ask the young Marquis to pay for it on my behalf."
They drank and asked the young Marquis to fulfill this promise for me."
Shi Xiaotian was slightly stunned.
Then he laughed loudly and said, "Why are those guys so willing to work hard for you?"
But he didn't accept Lu Fang's banknote, and pushed it back directly, saying: "But if you give me money, it's just a slap in the face. Our Xining Marquis can still afford this amount of money."
In fact, even without Lu Fang's promise, he would definitely give rewards to those old soldiers after he returned.
Sixteen years...
For the entire sixteen years since Liang Hanmin ascended the throne, their Xining Marquis has never participated in the war as a representative in the Spring Hunt.
This time, I was able to exhale and raise my eyebrows.
Of course, he deliberately wanted to be so friendly and polite with Lu Fang for Liang Siqi's sake.
He could see that Liang Siqi and Lu Fang were somewhat close, and their Xining Marquis Mansion and Prince Rong's Mansion had an unclear relationship.
With this relationship, if Lu Fang can rise to prominence in the future, he will not be able to become a good partner of their Xining Marquis in the court.
Their Xining Houfu is really in desperate need of a partner. Even if it's just a potential player like Lu Fang.
But Su Yu just listened to the conversation between Lu Fang and Shi Xiaotian with a smile on his face and said nothing.
After he became a powerful official, he didn't have much interaction with the noble disciples like Shi Xiaotian. Even though the Su Zai sect and the noble sect had the same stance.
Your Majesty, you are not happy to see the two groups of powerful ministers and nobles interacting too closely. Positions are positions, and personal relationships are personal relationships. This must be clearly distinguished in the court.
After Shi Xiaotian rode away with the old soldiers, Su Yucai said to Lu Fang: "Now, those people should admit that they owe you the favor."
Lu Fang chuckled, "Then what we have to do is wait for the results of the imperial examination."
Su Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "To be honest, I really don't have much hope in getting married now. Even if I get this opportunity, I probably won't be your opponent."
Lu Fang was slightly surprised, "When did you lose your confidence so much?"
"You guys are just a monster!"
Su Yu pointed at Lu Fang, his face full of anger.
The conversation between the two people made Ran Licheng, who didn't know what was going on next to him, stunned for a moment.
Later, because Ran Licheng also planned to follow Lu Fang to the Yu Mansion, Lu Fang did not need Su Yu to send him back.
When Su Yu left, he just said to Lu Fang: "Come and sit in my house when you have time."
Then he got into the carriage and left.
I don’t know if it’s just polite words, or if I really want to get close to Lu Fang.
Lu Fang followed Ran Licheng into the carriage and returned to Yu Yuanwei's mansion.
From Ran Licheng's mouth, he learned that the situation of Yu Yuanwei and Ran Hongbo in the court was indeed very bad.
The Ministry of Industry, under the Shangshu Province, is in charge of the administration of cities, palaces, boats and carriages, equipment, seals, coins, mountains, rivers and canals. It can be said that it covers all aspects. No matter how small a movement is, money is needed to pave the way. It is considered the most expensive among the six ministries.
Qian's Yamen, even the Ministry of War cannot compare with it.
Most of the money for the imperial court was raised by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and expenditures were reviewed by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Finance.
Although the final decision was made by the emperor Liang Hanmin, the first two were obstructing it, and the money reported by Yu Yuanwei and Ran Hongbo was already blocked.
For example, if the reported number is 100,000 taels, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Finance can find fault and reduce the number to 50,000 taels or even lower.
Without money, how can the two of them take drastic measures?
It was already difficult before. Now, Liang Hanmin focuses on preparing for war with Daliao and other countries, and Yu Yuanwei and Ran Hongbo are even more difficult.
In the past two months, let alone doing anything for the people, Ran Licheng said that even the normal operation of the ministries and departments under the Ministry of Industry has been quite difficult.
