Ever since His Majesty Li Er decided to inspect the Firearms Monitor and use firearms to shock the family officials, Yang Fan had already thought that he would be questioned and made things difficult by the family officials.
But he didn't expect these people to not accept the attack, as if they were punched in the air, which made Yang Fan a little depressed.
But Yang Fan never imagined that every time he bet with others, he would always win, and Huang Luan would easily fall into his trap.
However, Yang Fan was not disappointed either.
Of course, I won't give up easily.
Since we want to find trouble, we are never afraid.
He took a deep look at Huang Luan, turned around and saluted His Majesty Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching the imperial censor Huang Luan without any evidence and baseless claims. This is an act to shake the morale of the army and it is obvious that he has ulterior motives."
"This kind of provocation is a heinous crime. How can he be qualified for the post of censor? Your Majesty, please remove this traitor and traitor who is destroying the morale of the army and investigate and deal with it as a warning to others!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience could hear needles dropping, and everyone looked at Yang Fan in disbelief.
Although Huang Luan has some doubts, it is too poisonous to go online like this!
People often say that ruining someone's future is like killing their parents. This is simply worse than beating someone up!
But what Yang Fan said actually makes some sense.
After all, His Majesty Li Er happily announced that this was a powerful weapon for the country, and Huang Luan questioned it.
Doesn't this question the emperor's authority? It's not an exaggeration to say that it shakes the morale of the military.
If His Majesty Li Er really had a whim and dismissed Huang Luan from his official position, then Huang Luan would be too pitiful.
If it were more serious and reached a level that shook the morale of the army, it would be possible for Huang Luan to be killed directly.
At that time, it will not be pitiful, it will be a tragedy and a joke!
Seeing that His Majesty Li Er was agitated, Huang Ben could no longer remain calm. The calmness he had maintained was completely torn to pieces, and he glared at Yang Fan: "Yang Fan, as a royal censor, what's wrong with me in pointing out your Majesty's inappropriateness?
Don’t you feel ashamed that you are making such a fuss out of a molehill?”
Yang Fan smiled disapprovingly and said: "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the censor will not be punished for his words after hearing the news. Of course, I know that, but the premise of hearing the news is that there is a basis for doing something. People like Huang Yushi
If you just come here and stir up trouble, what else is this but nonsense?"
"Besides, Huang Yushi, you also said that the duty of the Yushi is to correct the misconduct of His Majesty and the officials. Doesn't that mean that you have already preconceived the idea that His Majesty is at fault? Can I think so?"
Hearing this, Huang Luan was shocked and turned pale.
He finally saw that this Yang Fan was really bad.
Yang Fan actually directed his doubts towards the emperor. Isn't this just a fool's errand?
The officials of the family knew very well His Majesty Li Er's intention of letting all the civil and military officials come to visit.
Don't you just want to use this new weapon to shock their family?
Although the aristocratic family did not dare to blatantly resist, the aristocratic family still had to express its dissatisfaction.
In the eyes of these aristocratic families, although they cannot stop the emperor from showing off, they can still raise some questions and make them feel disgusted.
Therefore, Huang Luan was the first bird promoted by the Jiangnan gentry.
At this time, Yang Fan turned the situation around with just a few words, catching Huang Luan off guard, which was really surprising.
You must know that as a royal censor, Huang Luan was very good at talking and talking, but he didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of Yang Fan.
Some scholars really have an indescribable feeling when they meet soldiers.
You know, if His Majesty Li Er listened to Yang Fan's words, it was entirely possible for Huang Luan to lose his official position, and then Huang Luan would be completely screwed!
Everyone could think of this, and Huang Luan could of course think of it too. He really didn't expect Yang Fan to be so ruthless.
Huh, don't you kid want to make a bet? I just want to accompany you.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Huang Ben shouted angrily: "Yang Fan, I didn't want to be acquainted with you, but you are so aggressive. So don't blame me for bullying the small. How do you make a bet?"
Yang Fan laughed and glanced at His Majesty Li Er.
I saw His Majesty Li Er looking at Huang Ben with a gloomy expression.
Obviously, the emperor was somewhat interested in his proposal.
This made Yang Fan startled.
Could it be that Li Er was really moved by this proposal?
Oh my god!
It seems that His Majesty Li Er has tolerated these aristocratic families for too long. As long as there is a reason to brush aside, he wants to scare the aristocratic families.
Yang Fan quickly prayed: "Li Er, please don't be impulsive!"
It's not that Yang Fan doesn't want Huang Luan to be punished, but that Huang Luan cannot be punished for his suggestions.
In this era where fame is as big as the sky, Yang Fan doesn't want to lose his reputation.
If His Majesty Li Er really dismisses Huang Luan from office, or kills Huang Luan on the pretext of instigating the morale of the army, then things will be really big!
Then Yang Fan will definitely become a street rat that everyone shouts about and beat, and history books will definitely record:
"During the Zhenguan period, the emperor inspected the Firearms Prison. The treacherous minister Yang Fan deceived the public with his evil words and deceived His Majesty. The censor was convicted for his words, which broke the precedent of the Tang Dynasty censor not being punished for his advice. Yang Fan, a treacherous sycophant, was actually a traitor of the Zhenguan Dynasty.
The leader of sycophants."
If this thing really happens, Yang Fan might really get stabbed in the spine.
After death, maybe someone, like in another time and space, would turn Yang Fan's stone statue into a statue and kneel in front of Huangluan's tomb.
That would truly be immortal!
Of course, it's just a reputation that will last forever.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan became alert. He was really afraid that His Majesty Li Er would issue an order on the spot and it would not end well, so he quickly said: "Ahem, since Huang Yushi agrees, let's take a gamble and see what someone makes."
Is the musket as powerful as your Majesty said, do you dare?"
Although he was a little reluctant, Huang Luan could only hold on and asked: "Why don't you dare? I just don't know how the county man wants to make a bet?"
Speaking of which, although Huang Luan was a little uneasy, he still believed that he had a certain winning rate.
After all, His Majesty Li Er blew the musket so well that Huang Luan, who had never seen it before, certainly did not believe that the musket was so powerful.
As long as Yang Fan cannot prove that the musket is so powerful, or even less powerful than what His Majesty Li Er just said, then Huang Luan will win.
In any case, let the aristocratic family be the judge, shouldn’t it be up to them to have the final say?
Looking at the confident Huang Luan, Yang Fan smiled nonchalantly and said: "Look, there is about 500 steps away from the target. As long as you hit the target with a musket, or even cause life-threatening injuries to the target, that will prove it."
What His Majesty just said is correct, but your questioning is unreasonable. Do you agree with this bet?"
Huang Luan looked at the target 500 steps away, and after seeing only a rough outline, he said: "I agree with this bet, but how do I know that the musket hit the target, and even caused life-threatening injuries."
Yang Fan explained with a smile: "There are ten targets over there, and there are intact pig heads on the targets. I asked ten sergeants to shoot here, hitting eight or more targets, and causing substantial damage to the pig heads."
If I am hurt, then I win this bet, and vice versa."
Huang Luan thought for a while and found no trap in Yang Fan's bet, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I agree!"
Hearing this, Yang Fan's eyes lit up and he was secretly happy.
I exchanged glances with His Majesty Li Er without leaving any trace, hoping to get approval.
Seeing Yang Fan so surprised made His Majesty Li Er a little confused.
Although he didn't know what Yang Fan was trying to do, he still nodded without leaving any trace.
Now that the emperor and the parties concerned have agreed, Yang Fan smiled and said: "Huang Yushi is really happy, then let's let His Majesty and the colleagues present be witnesses for us..."
Huang Luan pondered for a moment and then said: "In that case, can the judge, the county magistrate, let someone choose?"
Yang Fan sneered: "Huang Yushi bullied me when I was young. If they are all your people, wouldn't it mean that you can say whatever you want? Don't you think you are shameless?"
"Since we are making a bet in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials, we must be fair and just. In this way, no one of us wants to take advantage. You select four people, and I invite four people, plus His Majesty, for a total of nine people to judge.
How about they supervise each other and make judgments in the presence of many colleagues?"
Huang Luan nodded in agreement, and then selected four officials from the Jiangnan gentry.
The people Yang Fan invited were more casual, namely Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Li Ji.
These people have high positions of authority and are able to tremble when someone chops their feet off, so their credibility is naturally guaranteed.
Yang Fan had no scruples in choosing Changsun Wuji.
In his opinion, Changsun Wuji would definitely not dare to resort to tricks in full view of the public.
As the current Duke of the dynasty, Changsun Wuji would certainly not lose his reputation because of such a bet.
Just when the gambling game was about to begin, a voice came: "Wannian County Duke, wait a minute!"
Changsun Chong was seen walking out slowly in a graceful manner, and spoke to stop Yang Fan.
He had seen everything the two of them had just bet.
In Changsun Chong's opinion, Yang Fan was destined to lose this bet.
After all, of the 100 pistols Yang Fan gave to His Majesty Li Er, fifty were deployed in the Left Guard Army.
Changsun Chong knew exactly how far these pistols had a shooting range.
If there is still a 90% hit rate within a hundred steps, then the hit rate is definitely only about 60% at a distance of two hundred steps. From a distance of 500 steps, it is simply impossible to hit more than 80% of the targets.
Moreover, this is a hit rate achieved only by sharpshooters.
After all, it is an indisputable fact that the farther a pistol's bullet is from the chamber after it is ejected, the easier it is to stray.
Seeing Changsun Chong making a move, Yang Fan was a little confused, but he still asked: "What advice does Changsun Young Master have?"
At this time, Chang Sun Chong was also serving as the Young Superintendent of Firearms Supervision, and Yang Fan certainly matched his position.
Although Yang Fan really didn't want to deal with Changsun Chong, he had no choice but to treat him politely in public.
Changsun Chonghe smiled and said: "I just heard about the bet between Wannian County Duke and Huang Yushi. I can't help but feel a little itchy. I wonder if I can also bet on it?"
After hearing Chang Sun Chong's words, Yang Fan was a little confused.
I thought, this guy is actually enlightened?
Could it be that he knew he would definitely win, so he wanted to make a fortune or gain a good reputation by betting on himself to win?
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, so Yang Fan said with a smile: "It's not impossible for Changsun Shaojian to participate, but whether Huang Yushi will accept it depends on your ability. Haha, since Changsun Shaojian trusts him so much
Yes, then I will do my best to let you taste the taste of victory."
After hearing Yang Fan's words, Changsun Chong was slightly startled, but then he came to his senses.
It turns out that this guy Yang Fan wants to be on his side!
This guy really has a beautiful idea.
Thinking of Yang Fan's unexpected expression, Changsun Chong couldn't help but want to laugh a few times.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Changsun Chong said teasingly: "Did the county man misunderstand something? I just want to bet with the county man, not Huang Yushi. I think there is no need to ask Huang Yushi for his opinion?"
"
When Yang Fan heard this, his eyes widened.
I originally thought that Changsun Chong was finally smart, but he didn't expect that he would end up thousands of miles away.
As a result, Yang Fan could only look at Changsun Wuji in silence and asked: "Mr. Zhao Guo, look..."
"Chong'er's proposal to participate in the gambling game is a private matter for you young people. It is up to the county magistrate to decide whether to agree or not. As long as it does not involve family or government affairs, it is not suitable for me to interfere too much."
Changsun Wuji is indeed an old fox, and his words are impeccable.
Not only did he mean not to get involved in the gambling game between Yang Fan and Chang Sun Chong, but he also controlled the scope of the gambling game.
It doesn't matter even if Changsun Chong loses, it's not the first time he loses to Yang Fan anyway.
What's more, if Changsun Chong loses, the family will not be involved.
But if Changsun Chong wins, it will gain face among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. In Changsun Wuji's view, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
After hearing what Changsun Wuji said, Yang Fan, who originally wanted to give him some face, stopped trying to persuade him.
Since Changsun Chong is looking for abuse, don't blame yourself.
After saying that, Yang Fan looked at Changsun Chong teasingly.
This guy is simply giving away his head!
No wonder in the original history, since the fall of Changsun Wuji, the Zhao Guogong Mansion, which had all the power in the country, quickly declined.
With such a brainless successor, the family will not be able to survive even if it wants to decline.
Changsun Chong has been paying attention to Yang Fan.
Changsun Chong was inexplicably excited about Changsun Wuji supporting him.
He even took Yang Fan's silent look at Changsun Wuji as a sign of help.
Therefore, Changsun Chong was even more certain that Yang Fan was definitely not sure of winning.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Changsun Chong asked again: "County Lord, how are you considering it? You don't dare, right?"
Looking at Changsun Chong who was still trying to provoke the general, Yang Fan glanced at him as if he were an idiot.
This guy obviously doesn't have a long memory, so don't blame yourself!
Thinking of this, Yang Fan turned to His Majesty Li Er and saluted: "What do you think of the proposal made by Changsun Shaojian?"
His Majesty Li Er is a little confused!
What the hell is Changsun Chong doing?
Does Yang Fan really have no chance of winning?
Logically speaking, Chang Sun Chong, as the firearms inspector, should know how powerful the musket produced by Yang Fan is?
Unfortunately, what His Majesty Li Er did not know was that the production of rifles was an impromptu initiative by Yang Fan.
Apart from Li Xiaogong and Su Dingfang, only the responsible craftsmen knew about it.
Seeing His Majesty Li Er's hesitation, Yang Fan quickly said: "Ahem, since Your Majesty thinks it's inappropriate, then let's drop Young Supervisor Chang Sun's proposal!"
Saying this made Changsun Chong feel that Yang Fan was guilty!
After finally seizing an opportunity to make Yang Fan look bad, Changsun Chong certainly didn't want to let it go.
Without waiting for His Majesty Li Er's reply, Changsun Chong rushed to say: "Your Majesty, please allow Wei Chen to have a bet with Yang Fan. Wei Chen will be responsible for all consequences."
Seeing this situation, His Majesty Li Er certainly couldn't say anything else, so he gritted his teeth and spit out one word:
"good!"
In the opinion of His Majesty Li Er, this Changsun Chong is really ungrateful!
I was obviously afraid that he would be embarrassed, but this guy rushed up to me. He was so ignorant.
Although Yang Fan seems to be a generous person, he is always unexpected. Every gambling fight does not make the other party doubt his life.
After being defeated by Yang Fan several times in succession, Changsun Chong still didn't know how to repent. He really deserved it.
His Majesty Li Er decided not to care!
Just do whatever you want!
As long as the firearms supervisor produces satisfactory muskets and thunderbolts, you don't care if you want to risk your heads.
After this little episode, Huang Luan on the side obviously couldn't wait any longer and quickly reminded: "Since His Majesty has agreed, let's start quickly?"
"Wait a minute!" Changsun Chong stopped Huang Luan, turned to Yang Fan and said displeasedly: "County Lord, have you forgotten something? Could it be that you knew you were going to lose and didn't even tell you about the bet?"
"Bet?" Yang Fan frowned and looked at the proud Changsun Chong.
Is there something wrong with this guy's mind?
I haven’t mentioned it yet! I rushed to deliver it to this place, but my brain was kicked by a donkey.
Just now I was thinking about how to propose a bet to Huang Luan, but now Changsun Chong is simply assisting!
Seeing Yang Fan stunned, Changsun Chong was even more proud and said with a smile: "Betting is only interesting when there is a bet, don't you think so, county magistrate?"
After finishing speaking, Changsun Chong looked sideways at Yang Fan with an expression of "Am I right?"
Unlike Changsun Chong, who was arrogant and arrogant, Huang Luan was feeling panicked at this moment.
He didn't want to have a bet with Yang Fan in the first place, but he just had to catch a duck and was forced to do nothing.
But as soon as this idiot Changsun Chong got involved, he raised the stakes. Is this guy mentally retarded?
Every time he made a bet, Changsun Chong would be pushed to the ground and rubbed by Yang Fan. This kid really didn't have any lessons?
According to Huang Luan's idea, even if he loses the bet, the most he can do is admit his mistake and apologize.
Now Changsun Chongyi said that if he loses, he will have to pay a big price.
If he wasn't worried about Changsun Wuji's identity, Huang Luan would have really wanted to spit on Changsun Chong.
I thought he was here to help me, but I didn’t know he was a pig teammate!
But since Changsun Chong had already brought it up, Huang Luan had no choice but to hold back his resentment and asked: "What does the county magistrate think?"
Yang Fan said with a smile: "As long as it is fair, I will naturally have no objections."
"In this way, we all discuss the bets. If someone loses, he will kowtow to Huang Yushi and admit his mistake and pay 100,000 silver coins. If you lose, I don't want the money. I just want you to admit your mistake and promise me one thing.
But, can it be considered fair?"
Huang Luan looked wary: "I promise you something. If you ask too much, I will never agree."
Yang Fan smiled slightly and said, "Master Huang, don't be nervous. To put it into detail, you have taken advantage."
"Because what I want you to agree to is for the future generations of your Huang family."
"Isn't the imperial court planning to establish a sea trade yamen in Jiangnan? When the yamen is established, I need your Huang family to be the first to stand up and support it."
"Oh, I am too kind, so I have suffered a lot. There is nothing I can do. I have always respected the elderly and loved the young since I was a child. I really can't change this bad habit."
Huang Luan's eyes twitched and he looked at Yang Fan in surprise.
No wonder this guy kept holding on to him, so that his Huang family could support him.
This is obviously a tactic to alienate.
Once the Huang family publicly supports the imperial court in establishing a sea trade yamen in Jiangnan, it will inevitably arouse the resentment of other Jiangnan nobles, and the Jiangnan nobles will definitely destroy themselves.
