Yang Fan ate Su Zao Rou and drank some Fenjiu, and felt very good.
After a busy day, I didn’t eat at noon. I had some supper in the evening. I felt a little drunk. I rode a horse into Beicheng from Chongwenmen.
Yang Fan has the Jinyiwei badge. Even though the city gate is closed, Jinyiwei has special privileges.
Sometimes they have urgent matters and need to go in and out of the city. A gap that can only allow a horse to pass can be opened to let them in.
It was already midnight when Yang Fan got home. Yang Fan went to his bedroom in the second hall, put the snacks he bought for Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru on the table, and prepared to take off his clothes and go to bed.
A new house was built. Xiao Niangpi lived in the third hall, and Lin Yueru lived in the west wing of the third hall. They both had their own houses. But they still came to sleep in Yang Fan's bedroom in the second hall.
Yang Fan also knew in his heart that they wanted to have a child. After a while, Yang Fan would go off to war again. This time he didn't know how long it would take to come back. Yang Fan left them alone.
Yang Fan entered the bedroom quietly and signaled Chunxiang, who was on duty, to go to bed and stop waiting.
As soon as the snacks were placed on the table, the little girl's nose wrinkled, she sniffed, and then sat up.
"Hey, I seem to smell the aroma of five-spice cake and boned abalone." She rubbed her eyes and muttered to herself. She turned around and saw Yang Fan.
"Master, you are back. I thought you were living in Nanyuan Military Camp." Xiao Niangpi said in surprise.
Yang Fan had a habit that she and Lin Yueru were particularly satisfied with. No matter how late the party was, Yang Fan always went home to sleep and never stayed out overnight.
Lin Yueru also got up, wearing a moon-white undergarment. She watched Yang Fan put a large packet of paper on the table. She also sniffed, squinted her eyes and said, "Master, you brought us snacks."
The two of them immediately got up from the bed and happily surrounded Yang Fan, urging him to quickly untie the paper string of the package and see what they had bought.
Yang Fan was impatient to untie the paper rope. He really couldn't understand the Ming Dynasty's fancy packaging method for bundling goods, so he just tore it off with his hands.
Under a large package of oil paper, there are many small packages of snacks.
"This is cake bait, and this is Tibetan rice cake, sponge cake, wrapped and steamed." The little girl's eyebrows were curved, "Sir, how did you know that I like to eat these."
Lin Yueru also sorted and found what she liked.
"Really, you just like it." Yang Fan stretched and said, "I was teased today and I was a little angry. When I came back, I passed by the street in front and took a short walk to relax. Since the curfew was postponed
After I got there, it was a lot more lively there, with traders everywhere. I ate something and brought some snacks to you two. Let’s not talk about this anymore. You guys can try it and see if it tastes good.”
"Well, not bad, it's very well done." Xiao Niangpi said as she picked up a piece of sponge cake and ate it.
"Master, the Southern style dim sum here is really good." Lin Yueru also praised.
"Although they are all roadside stalls, small shops, and small shops, there are still many ingenious people. As long as the court provides good policies, the people's lives will soon get better," Yang Fan said with emotion.
Because it was too late, Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru didn't eat much, so they wrapped them up and kept them for tomorrow.
The two of them helped Yang Fan undress and go to bed. As they were married to Yang Fan longer and longer, they became more and more submissive and gentle. They became more and more lady-like.
Yang Fan was lying on the warm quilt, feeling very comfortable.
He came back late, and the bed was already warmed by the two of them, with their body fragrance. Yang Fan felt very happy to have a wife waiting for him at home.
"Master, who made you unhappy today?" Xiao Niangpi turned over, supported her head with one hand, and asked sideways.
Yang Fan talked about what happened today, "Originally, His Majesty ordered the troops to be mobilized in the Beijing camp. Zhang Shize and I just wanted to pick some that could be used. After all, we were going to fight. We didn't expect that Li Shangshu would be so skilled. He and Xun Xun
I don't care if a noble man has a dog's brain, but if you drag me into it, I won't be happy."
Lin Yueru frowned and said, "Why does this matter look like His Majesty's handiwork?"
The little girl's skin was so cold that she drew circles on Yang Fan's chest with her fingers. When she was thinking, she liked to draw circles on the table with her fingers. It made Yang Fan itch.
"It's probably not His Majesty's intention. This matter looks more like Li Shangshu's doing. His teacher is Zou Yuanbiao, who is the leader of the Donglin Party. What is Donglin going to do? Taking the military power in Liaodong is not enough, he must do it again.
The capital camp will be reduced to ashes. They are going to start a war against the nobles." Xiao Niangpi said with a frown.
Lin Yueru snorted coldly: "They are a group of solitary eaters. My adoptive father saw it back then. These people were too domineering and couldn't cooperate, so he had to get rid of them all."
Yang Fan said: "I got to know Li Shangshu before, and I felt that he was different from other Donglin members in that he was concerned about the country and the people. As a result, I simplified the problem. As a result of this matter, I
All the hard work you have done over the past two years has been in vain."
Lin Yueru said: "They attacked the nobles and took away their military power. They also attacked the eunuchs before. I am not strong in the imperial family. If I defeat these two forces, I will basically dominate the imperial court."
Yang Fan said: "I don't understand. Donglin wanted to move the patrol camp in the capital before, but His Majesty gave them a decisive blow at that time, causing them to lose in disgrace. Why does Your Majesty support it this time?"
Xiao Niangpi thought for a while and said: "You have been in the Ming Dynasty for a short time, so you don't understand some things. There are actually many relatives among the honorable nobles. When the emperor was forced to breathe by the civil servants, the prince-in-law also commanded the army. These honors
The ones who are much more expensive are Concubine Zheng's men. Your Majesty wants to touch Concubine Zheng."
Lin Yueru also said: "If Your Majesty had this idea, the military power would not fall into Dong Lin's hands. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Your Majesty wants Bianzhuang to stab the tiger."
Yang Fan thought deeply. His Majesty could see from the process of defeating Wei Zhongxian that he had deep thoughts, sophisticated methods, patience, and dared to take risks. What did he mean by dragging himself into it? It seems that he and Xungui were too far apart.
Close.
He had just been knighted and became a member of the nobility. He did this to separate himself from the nobility and had to continue to be a lonely minister?
"However, if the emperor wants to take back his military power, now is indeed an opportunity," Yang Fan said.
"Walking a tightrope, you are not that easy to control. I guess your little friend has suffered a lot now. His grandfather can't spare him." Lin Yueru said.
Xiao Niangpi suddenly sneered, I know what His Majesty is thinking.
"He will ask you to take the 50,000 Beijing troops to the Western Expedition. He will use you to relieve the military power of the nobles. He will let Zhang Shize temporarily take over the Cheying soldiers guarding Qianhu Station in Hexi, and use the nobles to relieve you of the military power.
Use Li Banghua to eliminate the remaining Beijing camps and relieve the financial burden. Kill three birds with one stone."
After Yang Fan was awarded the title, he was given the title of General of the Western Expedition. It was really time to promote someone to take charge of the Qianhu Station in Hexi Province. Originally, Yang Fan was optimistic about Zhou Yuji and had been cultivating him.
"If Your Majesty really dares to play tricks, let Zhou Yuji take over the six thousand recruits trained by Zhang Shize and remove all of us from military power. He took back the military power." Yang Fan said with a sneer. "Fortunately, I stayed before.
With one hand, I got a Hexi guard Qianhu as a tool to offend the court. Otherwise, now everyone would be making wedding clothes for others."
