Chapter two hundred and fifty-ninth less provocation is better
As a court meeting on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, today is a bit special.
Therefore, not only was the court meeting scheduled for the afternoon, but the atmosphere today seemed a bit off.
The impending mountain rain made the entire Tai Chi Hall seem a bit depressing.
When Yang Fan arrived, there was already a huge crowd of officials and dignitaries, lined up in rows at the entrance of Tai Chi Hall, waiting quietly.
At this time, Yang Fan felt the favor of His Majesty Li Er, and at the greeting of the chamberlain, he went directly to the entrance of Tai Chi Hall to attend the meeting.
At this time, many purple-robed officials were waiting at the entrance of the palace, and acquaintances gathered together to whisper.
Seeing Yang Fan arriving, everyone gave him strange looks.
This made Yang Fan feel a little uncomfortable, and he even saw vicious coldness in the eyes of several people.
This surprised Yang Fan, because after identification, he did not know these people.
When I was thinking about whether to ask Cheng Yaojin, I heard someone calling: "Yishan, this way..."
When Xunxun went out, he saw his immediate boss Li Daozong waving to him. After a moment of hesitation, Yang Fan ran over.
There were many officials standing around Li Daozong, almost all of them were chief officials of the six ministries and some chief officials of the yamen.
Originally, these people were still whispering softly, but when they saw Yang Fan approaching, they all stopped talking, but the eyes they looked at Yang Fan were inevitably a little strange.
Especially Cui Yongping, the Minister of Civil Affairs. This old man was blowing his beard and staring at him. He was looking at him playfully, obviously with bad intentions.
Yang Fan is a little confused. It seems that apart from the last time he used honeycomb briquettes to trick Cui, there shouldn't be any grudges recently, right?
I don't know how I offended this angry minister.
Arriving directly in front of Li Daozong, Yang Fan bowed his hands and saluted, "I have met Lord Shangshu."
Li Dao nodded slightly, took a step forward, and made room for him.
"I have met you all, sirs..." Yang Fan then bowed to the rest of the people and stood in.
After the acquaintances laughed and laughed in return, Yang Fan stopped talking and looked at his nose and heart, like an old monk sitting still.
Li Daozong raised the corner of his mouth and smiled imperceptibly.
But Cui Yongping's face turned a little dark.
Just now when Yang Fan was giving a salute, a group of people around him missed him.
Even a fool would not believe it if he said it was not intentional.
Obviously, Cui Yongping couldn't stand Yang Fan, and he couldn't hold back his anger.
He said angrily: "I don't know the inferiority or the inferiority, I don't know the age, how can I have the dignity to stand in the court?"
Yang Fan didn't even bother to move his eyelids, and simply regarded him as air.
Cui Yongping felt a surge of energy and blood rushing straight to the top of his head, and veins popped up in his temples. He was obviously a little embarrassed.
Yang Fan's disregard was even more annoying to him than the retort. He simply didn't take him seriously at all.
Cui Yongping took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said gloomily: "Yang Fan, don't think that getting His Majesty's favor means you can be lawless. As a minister, you have no moral character and no sense of shame. Not only do you hurt others, but you also
It’s insulting Her Royal Highness the Princess with dirty words, it’s so insulting to the gentle people, what a stick!”
Although he spoke with gritted teeth, Cui Yongping tried his best to lower his voice, but he could not hide the anger in his eyes.
This is the entrance to the Tai Chi Hall. If you make a loud noise, you may be caught by the eunuchs and punished for the crime of disrespect.
Yang Fan thought thoughtfully, it turned out that it was for this reason that he wanted to stand up for Duan Zhixuan.
In fact, Li Shimin had already reminded Yang Fan that Duan Zhixuan was very close to the family, but he did not expect that the first person who wanted to attack him was the Cui family of Qinghe.
Obviously, the feud was finally settled.
In fact, Cui Yongping did not want to attack Yang Fan now.
But Yang Fan's behavior just now was so irritating and embarrassing for him, so he couldn't wait any longer and couldn't help it.
Yang Fan would not tolerate people who made fun of him.
He glanced sideways at Cui Yongping and said calmly: "I am relying on His Majesty's favor. What's wrong? Are you jealous? If you have the ability, you can also let His Majesty favor you?"
"Pfft..." Li Daozong and Li Daliang, Minister of Civil Affairs, burst into laughter on the spot.
This guy is too bad and shameless.
Some officials nearby tried not to laugh, but if they looked carefully, their faces turned red.
The muscles on some officials' faces even trembled, obviously enduring a lot of hardship.
Cui Yongping was so angry that his face turned red.
After thinking about it, I realized that there was nothing wrong with what Yang Fan said. He was already favored by His Majesty.
Before he could refute, Yang Fan pointed at Cui Yongping's old face with a smile and said: "We are handsome, so what's wrong with teasing Her Highness the Princess? That's because Your Highness the Princess is willing to let me tease you, why do you, an old man like you, mind your own business? Like
A wrinkled old guy like you, it’s not your fault that you’re ugly, but it’s wrong to come out and scare people!”
Cui Yongping's eyes began to become bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and yelled angrily: "Shuzi is arrogant and disrespectful. How long can you be so crazy?"
Some officials watching the excitement also felt that Yang Fan was going too far.
How can the innocence of Her Highness the Princess be used as a joke?
Besides, after all, Cui Yongping, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is also in his fifties. Considering his age, it is indeed inappropriate to be so disrespectful to the elderly.
But then they knew that there was something even more outrageous. Yang Fan's smile did not change, but he continued in a sinister tone: "You said that a certain person is a mallet and can only do harm to others. If I beat you up in front of the Tai Chi Hall,
, do you think I will be punished?"
As soon as these words came out, Cui Yongping was startled, his face changed drastically, and he took several steps back, obviously afraid that Yang Fan would make a move.
Li Daozong immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to scold: "Master Minister, you are really too presumptuous. The Taiji Hall is an important place of the imperial court, how can it be a place where you can act recklessly?"
Yang Fan pretended to be honest and said: "Master Shangshu, I know what I know and will not kill anyone!"
When he said this, Yang Fan stared blankly at Cui Yongping.
The meaning was obvious, I asked this old guy if he wanted to try it.
Li Daozong was really helpless. Once this boy's bad temper started, no one could control it.
It seems that only His Majesty Li Er in the world can make him restrain himself.
He had no choice but to look at Cui Yongping with a wishful look.
Cui Yongping was completely stunned.
After living for most of his life, who has he never seen?
But he had never seen someone as naive and misbehaving as Yang Fan.
Now I think about it, this guy is a well-known fool in Chang'an. When he has a bad temper, he even dares to beat the prince.
If I really want to be beaten with this stick at the gate of Tai Chi Hall today, I will be completely humiliated.
Besides, let alone whether his old bones can withstand a beating.
Even if he can bear it, the final consequences are not something he can bear!
Where is this Tai Chi Hall? It is the most important place in the country.
If you dare to ignore Tianwei and fight here, your life will be too long!
As the one being beaten, death may not be certain, but this is the end of his life.
Losing an official position is a minor matter, but it may also affect your family, so the gain outweighs the loss!
As for Yang Fan's stick, Cui Yongping analyzed it carefully and found out that this guy seemed to be fine.
It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!
Cui Yongping sadly discovered that agreeing to Duan Zhixuan to find trouble with Yang Fan was not a wise choice.
It seems that both of them are fourth-grade officials, but in fact they are not at the same level at all.
Some officials around him had clearly seen Yang Fan's temper. He was not a guy who acted according to common sense at all.
As he said himself, I have the favor of the emperor, what can you do to me?
It seems that it would be better to mess with this kind of guy who is fearless in the world and not in the future!
