Feng Gao's few words made Fang Chen feel like a new world had opened up. He was worthy of being an expert who had been a eunuch for more than ten or twenty years.
He humbly asked for advice: "Brother, does that mean I can't go see Mr. Ye?"
Feng Gao rolled his eyes, but for the sake of the money, he still said patiently: "Brother Fang, you are stupid. I have already run errands myself, and you think you can't see me anymore? Isn't this just saying that I am harming my brother?"
You."
Fang Chen was stunned, and Feng Gao said again: "Yesterday, the people from the Xijin Empire offered such a huge price in front of all the civil and military officials to exchange for you, brother."
"Although His Majesty rejected it outright, brother, if you can get some benefits for Your Majesty from this Xijin Empire person."
"Then can His Majesty appreciate you more? Our Great Yan Dynasty is no better than before, and natural disasters continue year after year."
"Although it can be sustained for a while with the tax tribute from the Xijin Empire this time, what about next year? What about the future?"
Fang Chen was surprised: "This is political interference!"
"The Xijin Empire values you so much now, this is your opportunity, as long as you can gain practical benefits for our Dayan."
Feng Gao snorted coldly: "Does it matter whether you are involved in politics or not? In His Majesty's heart, you will be the pillar of the country and a loyal minister who is willing to contribute to the country! Brother, you solved the question asked by the Xijin Empire a few days ago. That is different.
State affairs? Do you think anyone is saying that you are involved in politics now?"
"Listening to your words is really better than ten years of reading!" Fang Chen was so impressed that he fell to the ground.
He immediately handed all the banknotes in his sleeves to Feng Gao: "Brother Feng, you will have to support me in the future. I am young and need to study more."
"It's easy to talk about."
To Fang Chen's surprise, Feng Gao didn't accept it. Instead, he pushed the banknote back and said with a smile: "It's not easy for us poor people to save a little bit of property, so don't spend money lavishly. As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.
, it’s never wrong to keep some.”
This Feng Gao still had some integrity. Fang Chen was in awe and sent Feng Gao away. He quickly asked Qiu Nian to wait for the young eunuch and prepare a new eunuch uniform for him.
After putting it on, we walked all the way to the gate of the palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to leave the palace without a token, but Fang Chen and the stewards were not included in this category.
As long as you tell me clearly what you are going to do and what time you will be back, it will be fine.
Holding the invitation given to him by Feng Gaolin before leaving, Fang Chen walked out of the palace and saw someone running towards him with a flattering smile on his face: "But Eunuch Fang Chen? The younger one is the sedan chair of Mr. Ye, the Qing of Honglu Temple."
Husband, I made a special trip to wait here."
"It's me." Fang Chen looked at the streets outside the palace with emotion.
These days, all the palaces and courtyards were surrounded by, except for the maids and eunuchs, he had almost forgotten what the streets and alleys were like.
"Oh, my father-in-law is really young and promising. Among the people I have ever seen, he is the most handsome in appearance!" The bearer of the sedan chair smeared honey on his mouth and welcomed Fang Chen into the sedan chair.
Fang Chen was not stingy and directly rewarded him with a piece of silver!
A certain success master once said that people have to spend money and show their courage! Only by spending tens of millions of wasted money can we succeed!
Understand the applause!
The sedan was swaying forward, and Fang Chen was sitting upright in a bright red eunuch uniform. Although his appearance was young, he now seemed to have a calm demeanor.
After some reminders from Feng Gao, he already knew that the banquet hosted by Honglu Temple Minister Ye Fan was just a cover-up.
The person who really wants to see him should be Hu Yanzhuo, the special envoy of the Xijin Empire.
It doesn’t take much thought to know what the purpose is.
And Fang Chen can be sure that Her Majesty the Empress must know about this, otherwise Feng Gao would not warn him openly or covertly when he spoke.
You have to get some benefits from the Xijin Empire for Dayan.
After beating himself up, Fang Chen was left to work. Fang Chen was helpless.
Damn it, how come I am not a prince or emperor when I travel through time, but a fake eunuch?
How frustrating!
Ye Fan, the Minister of Honglu Temple, has an official rank of the third rank and can be said to be a real important minister of the imperial court.
One of the Nine Qings among the Three Lords and Nine Qings.
Those things in TV dramas that are always about one thing or another are actually just artistic exaggerations.
Take the civil and military officials of the Great Yan Dynasty as an example.
The six books of ministers are all only from the second rank. There is not a single official in the imperial court who has a second rank, let alone a first rank.
In Dayan, the first-ranking civil servants were Sangong, that is, the Grand Duke, the Grand Tutor, and the Grand Master.
Unfortunately, these three are all laid off, and all three are vacant, so the positions are not so tight.
The first-grade military attache is Tiance General.
This official title was only held by someone during the founding of Dayan, and it has been vacant for three to four hundred years.
Therefore, Lord Ye, whose name is exactly the same as that of a certain great emperor, has a really high official title.
The sedan swayed all the way to Ye Mansion.
After getting off the sedan, the bearer immediately shouted: "Fang Diao Temple is here!"
Fang Chen walked out of the sedan and saw the servants of Ye Mansion in front of him, as well as his wife and daughter, all coming out to greet him.
The youngest daughter of the Ye family stared at him with curiosity.
"Oh, thank you Lord Diao Si for the favor, my humble house has been resplendent!" Ye Fan laughed and walked forward.
Looking at the two-meter-tall big lion at the door, Fang Chen twitched the corner of his mouth. Is this called a humble house?
"Master Ye, you're welcome. There was something to deal with in the palace, so I came late. Master Ye, please don't blame me." Fang Chen said with a smile.
"Hey, no, no, no!"
Ye Fan came forward and took his hand, whispering: "That guy Hu Yanzhuo is at the house, we will see what happens to my father-in-law later."
Sure enough, it was a fucking plan.
Fang Chen couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, and nodded. He even suspected that Her Majesty the Empress had instructed Ye Fan to set up the line.
A group of people walked into Ye Mansion. Fang Chen saw Hu Yanzhuo in the hall and immediately said deliberately: "Special Envoy Hu Yan, are you here too?"
Hu Yanzhuo hurriedly came forward, his face full of joy: "Hu Yanzhuo has met Eunuch Fang."
"No, no, no, please get up quickly."
Fang Chen hurriedly said, at this time Ye Fan said: "Master Fang, I'm going to see how the servants' banquet is going. You and the special envoy will sit down first."
This is to make room for the two of them.
Fang Chen nodded and waited until Mark left.
Hu Yanzhuo couldn't sit still anymore and came directly to Fang Chen and said: "Eunuch Fang, come with me!"
"Go...where?" Fang Chen was a little confused, this was too straightforward.
Hu Yanzhuo said excitedly: "Come back to Xijin with me! I will treat you...our Xijin Empire will definitely treat you well, father-in-law!"
Fang Chen was shocked.
Good guy, why don't you say it so ambiguously?
Seeing that Fang Chen did not respond, Hu Yanzhuo said quickly: "As long as my father-in-law agrees, my father-in-law will be given a high position in our Xijin Empire. He can choose any position in the civil and military officials at his choice, and his annual salary will be one million taels of silver!"
